Should probably get a mention somewhere given the first reference in the article, but I and the WP:VG/SE otherwise agree the topic is not notable enough for a standalone page. --Izno (talk) 17:56, 14 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Merge Can't find additional sources beyond that Kotaku (from RSes, that is). There should probably be a section in the main Pokemon VG Series article about fan made games, which have individually weak notability but are notable as a general class of game to be mentioned there. --Masem (t) 18:50, 14 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete An obvious case of WP:TOOSOON. Can be recreated at a later date once it gets more coverage besides just a couple articles._{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 14:42, 17 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The only reliable coverage is the Kotaku article thus it fails WP:GNG. I would not be opposed to it being mentioned in a small fan-made section on Pokémon as mentioned by Masem. Spy-cicle💥 ^Talk? 17:07, 24 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete or merge - There could be a List of Pokémon fan games, or similar, I suppose, which would be a good location for a merge and redirect. I don't think the main Pokémon article would be a suitable location for specific fan games, (maybe a small sections in general though). If there isn't a specific merge location, then delete would be fine - clearly doesn't pass WP:GNG at this time. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 17:27, 24 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- I wouldn't even call for a separate list. The idea of Pokemon fan games is just barely notable, so a standalone is not a good idea (and will draw "hey, post my homefan fan project!" type entries). Plus, with the recent release of Temtem, a section in Pokémon (video game series) of Legacy, with "games inspired by Pokemon" and "Fan-made games" (Alongside Nintendo's avid takedown of such games, per [1]), there is a very comfy fit for all that there. --Masem (t) 01:40, 25 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Relisting comment: Curious what people think of merge options regarding this article. Or should we just delete it?

Regarding the relisting comment, I think it would be simpler to simply delete because there is not much in the article in question and there will only a small mention of it in the article it is being put in to. Spy-cicle💥 ^Talk? 11:18, 1 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
