List of generation IX Pokémon

Nominator(s): Has one ever considered Magneton? Pokelego999 (talk) 03:23, 14 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This list covers the fictional Pokémon species that have been introduced in the ninth generation of the Pokémon media franchise, specifically Pokémon from the video games Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. I've gone through the list and included what information I could about each species using high quality sources in order to create as comprehensive a list as possible with what sources exist, with a summary of the franchise and the ninth generation's setting included in the article's lead. I believe this meets FL criteria due to its expansive scope of coverage and verifiability in reliable publications. Has one ever considered Magneton?

  • Every other Pokemon list has a "design and development" section - is there any reason this doesn't? I feel like this improves the page a lot and it is lacking without it. surely something has been said about the development
  • "The designs of many of the Pokemon have received criticism since Scarlet and Violet's release. Prior to the games' release, the designs of many of the games' Pokemon leaked, which drew much negativity from fans, who criticized several of the designs." this feels repetitive
  • "found that many species" this seems subjective, when "found" i feel implies this is objective and truthful
  • "In a discussion among Nintendo Life staff, the group discussed" repetitive
  • "Writer Kate Gray described the number of "weirder" designs present in the generation" described feels odd here but that may just be me, what is she describing about them? is she just listing weird ones?
  • "noting their popularity as gay icons with fans while the game itself had an imperfect representation of LGBTQ+" any elaboration on what was imperfect about it? was it the pokemon themself, or something else?

I know this nomination is in the wrong place right now but I feel I may as well address this while I'm here.
I've addressed the various prose concerns in the areas suggested, but in terms of development information of species, Pokémon is notoriously tight-lipped when it comes to a lot of it. A lot of Pokémon Red and Blue's dev info wasn't even released until the mid 2010s, for example. For generation IX specifically, there is, quite literally, nothing on the overall development of these species, barring confirmations of individual character designers. This is why I've covered all the in-universe information in the lead instead of in a development information paragraph, as there's nothing to populate a development section right now. I don't believe this should impact this list specifically, as I have covered what information I could find and the list is relatively comprehensive as it is, but as it stands right now, yes, there is literally nothing more I could add to that section.

That's fine if it doesn't, just wanted to know. PARAKANYAA (talk) 23:49, 14 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Pokelego999: As this is a list, it should be nominated at featured list candidates and not here. QuicoleJR (talk) 14:27, 14 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
