Bulbapedia:Project TFG

Some Bulbapedia members have formed a project to better organize efforts to write and improve articles about the Pokémon Trading Figure Game. If you would like to help, please inquire on the talk page or the Bulbapedia forum and see to-do list.

Project TFG

Scope and aims

Project TFG covers all articles about the Trading Figure Game.

Its goal is to create comprehensive articles on the game and the different sets produced for it, as well as a comprehensive database on all the figures of the Pokémon Trading Figure Game, detailing all information on each. Its secondary goal is to create comprehensive articles on the game's trainer cards.
