I read the Popplio article right now. Why does this exist? It’s about the “Popplio defense squad”. It reads like a fucking KYM entry and half the sources are either Polygon or Kotaku. In what world is this notable?

This is basically how wikipedia operates. Subjects are "notable" if "notable sources" have written about them, which means that every random piece of bullshit shit like Kotaku does an article about can get its own article.

I remember they used to have an article on Gumshoos just because a bunch of "journalists" had written "LOL IT LOOKS LIKE TRUMP" in an article on some retarded nerd clickbait site..

See >>54724063

As an example, Mr. Mime has an article purely because a bunch of "notable" fags commented on its design at various points, particularly because of the Detective Pikachu movie.

>Since appearing in the Pokémon franchise, Mr. Mime has received a generally mixed reception, with critics, including from 1Up.com and Retronauts, disliking its mime aesthetic. The staff of GamesRadar complained about its design, noting that while "mimes/clowns aren't the easiest material to work with in the first place," they further felt it was "creepy" due to its gangly arms and humanoid appearance compared to other Pokémon Fellow contributor Carolyn Gudmundson further elaborated on the sentiment, noting that the humanoid designs were some of the most overused amongst Pokémon in the franchise, and Mr. Mime was both one of the most infamous and "horrific monstrosities" in this regard, further stating mimes "do not make good Pokémon."

>>54724653
>Despite this negative reception, Mr. Mime has been identified as among the more popular Pokémon. In the book Gaming Cultures and Place in Asia-Pacific, David Surman defended Mr. Mime's design, suggesting that Sugimori developed it—along with Jynx—to draw upon the humor of heta-uma (a term meaning bad/nice). The book notes that the designs "oscillate between the poles of good and bad," and as a result offer diversity within the game and invite scrutiny from players. The Coventry Evening Telegraph also praised its design, stating the character was "more interesting" in comparison to more popular Pokémon like Squirtle. Elijah Watson of Complex described Mr. Mime as the best Pokémon, and stated that Mr. Mime is "weird looking," but it's also equipped with a good selection of non-damaging and damaging moves. Steven Bogos of The Escapist listed Mr. Mime as their 21st favorite Pokémon, describing it as "super unique and clever."

>Its appearance in the Detective Pikachu film received mixed reception. Patricia Hernandez of Polygon stated that Mr. Mime "stole the show" in the film Detective Pikachu, while Austen Goslin of Polygon called Mr. Mime's appearance in the movie "terrifying." In an interview with GameSpot, lead actor of the film Justice Smith revealed that the Mr. Mime interrogation scene was one of his favorites. Joe Anderton of Digital Spy criticize Mr. Mime in the film Detective Pikachu and called it the worst Pokémon and "just plain creepy."

If a Pokémon is playable in Super Smash Bros., it's notable enough to get a Wikipedia entry. No exceptions.

Yes. Gardevoir is not notable. It only is one of the least popular champion's aces, a weak pseudo rival's ace, and a side character in a sidegame.

No, not really. Game Freak can declare National Gengar Day and hold a Gengar parade in Tokyo while Pokemon Centers get a hundred new merch lines of Gengar merch, and it's still not going to be considered notable unless John Q. Retard on Polygon can be quoted as saying he thinks that's kinda cool while Bob Fuckdick on IGN thinks they should've made Stantler Day instead.

I remember Freeza from Dragonball had an article exclusively because an IGN review had called him "a bad mofo", which counted as "commentary on the character from a notable source" and thus made him relevant.

Wikipedia is the most retarded website on the planet.
