First Lego Pokemon Sets
editThinking about adding information about the first Lego Pokemon sets but not sure the best place to put it within the article?
Ref: https://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-news/the-lego-group-reveals-first-ever-lego-pokemon-sets-and-trainer-challenge https://www.ign.com/articles/legos-massive-650-pokemon-set-is-already-sold-out 🥑GUACPOCALYPSE🥑 22:00, 13 January 2026 (UTC)
- That's so cool! 🤩
- I guess you could add one sentence about it at the end of Pokémon#History. And if you have the time (and the energy), then maybe you can create Lego Pokémon (sources).
- Lots of Lego themes, including licensed Lego themes, have their own Wikipedia article, e.g. Lego Disney, Lego Star Wars, Lego Harry Potter, Lego Minecraft, Lego Jurassic World, etc.
- I'd say go for it! - Manifestation (talk) 15:37, 14 January 2026 (UTC)
- An article sounds awesome, maybe if I'm feeling brave. I think they would need to expand a bit more but eventually that will definitely be its own. I'll add a line or two to the history! 🥑GUACPOCALYPSE🥑 19:06, 14 January 2026 (UTC)

Key topic missing: Pokémon species/Pokémon (creature)
editThe first one is just a redirect. Note wikidata: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q3966183 . Pl wiki article is decent - not good, but would likely survive AfD here. Perhaps someone interested in this topic would like to work on this. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 01:38, 5 March 2026 (UTC)

- Hi Piotrus! Thank you for your advice. pl:Pokémony does look somewhat decent. Also, there is bulba:Pokémon (species).
- We had a Gameplay of Pokémon (e|t|h|li|w|lo) once, which may be a better location for the info you described. It failed an AfD, but imo that was because it was poorly written, not because of notability. Cheers, Manifestation (talk) 06:27, 5 March 2026 (UTC)
- I mean that one also failed notability; there were no sources regarding gameplay that were actually SIGCOV.
- The Polish article appears to be very notability failing; it's entirely just in-universe summary and its citations are very weak (Multiple unreliable and weak sources used per EnWiki standards). It likely would fail an AfD here very easily, other Pokémon articles have been redirected for more.
- In any case, I believe the species are covered at List of Pokémon at present, which discusses their concept and design and such. I don't doubt a potential split off discussing characteristics or something, but that would take a lot of research and digging that would likely be very difficult and not even guaranteed to be notable. That's my take on at least, from what research and experience I have in the topic area of Pokémon species. Magneton Considerer: Pokelego999 (Talk) (Contribs) 01:02, 6 March 2026 (UTC)

- Hi User:~2026-83162-4. Thank you for your suggestion. While I like your idea, I think it's unfeasible because of the scope it implies. If we were to list various franchises similar to and/or inspired by Pokémon, then the See also section could go on and on. Yu-Gi-Oh, Monster Rancher, Cardcaptors, Medabots, Shin Megami Tensei, Coromon, Nexomon, Dinosaur King, Temtem, Beyblade, Robopon, Monsuno, Monster Crown, Palworld..... You could theoretically mention every monster-taming franchise in existence. Cheers, Manifestation (talk) 18:20, 19 March 2026 (UTC)
