Split discussion

Reviving this discussion ahead of a public announcement. As a refresher, the main issue is that we currently use "Pokémon anime" to refer to three different things. In order to clarify this information correctly, the following will need to be broken up and detailed appropriately via dedicated pages:

• Pokémon animation: all Pokémon-related animation in general
• Pokémon animated series: the animated series including PtS and HZ
• Pokémon the Series: the animated series featuring Ash from OS-JN

Eventually, mentions of "anime" would need to be changed to refer to the appropriate article for the given context, but for now, we're mostly concerned with taking this first step to fix the content.

While we are pretty far along with the planning and source material confirmation for all of this content, I encourage any interested users/readers to post any additional comments within this section. ^Maverick_Nate 06:23, 18 July 2024 (UTC)

For the sake of argument, have we considered treating the main series as Pokémon anime (EP001-JN147) or (OS-JN) or simply (Ash saga) and Pokémon anime (HZ001-present)? Considering that Horizons is also a part of 'the series' (titled same as Journeys, with the series part at the end). Also future proofs any other series that were to continue using the old naming convention. Wouldnt it be a less confusing naming convention? And the other form of animation as simply Pokémon animation as suggested above. The particular problem I have with the proposed naming is reserving The Series naming exclusively for the Ash saga, which is factually wrong and will be in future if they are to continue naming other seasons/series as The Series.
