Notability rules
The following are guidelines to which Pokémon are notable in the manga to get their own articles on Bulbapedia:
- Starter Pokémon that are owned by any of the main characters are all notable, if they have appeared in more than one chapter/round. If they have not meet this criteria, then they would have to have had a significant impact on the plot of the chapter/round, manga series as a whole, or a certain arc.
- Pokémon owned by another characters that are also only notable if they appeared in more than one chapter/round.
- For recurring characters, only their signature Pokémon may have an article created about them. But they would have to have a certain impact on the plot of the chapter/round to be otherwise, notable.
- Gym Leaders may have an article about their signature Pokémon, but only if it did more than just battle like if it appeared and had some impact chapter's/round's on the plot.
