Whenever you talk about a specific page having issues, you should always include a link to the page in question. I don't see any, so here you go: Pokémon
Okay, here are other courtesy links:
Pokémon: Generation I - Bulbasaur to Tentacruel
Pokemon Generation I Geodude To Mew
Pokémon: Generation II Families
Pokémon: Generation III - Treecko to Sharpedo
Pokémon: Generation III - Wailmer to Deoxys
Pokémon: Generation IV Families
Pokemon Generation V Victini To Zoroark Characters/Pokemon Generation V Victini To Zoroark
Well, i am waiting the apparition of another person, but i remembered that during the discussion in Ask The Tropers, five tropers, including three mods, concurred with the clean-up. I guess that this is sufficient consensus, but, to be 100% sure, i am waiting another week to start the clean-up.
Starting the clean-up with Tropes S to Z , Tropes J to R and Tropes A to I .

Second day of the clean-up with Pokemon Red And Blue .
Fouth day of the cleanup: Pokémon: Generation I - Bulbasaur to Tentacruel .
The imaginative Christian Asperger
Are you sure you've gotten everything?
Because I can still see problems on Characters.Pokemon Generation I Bulbasaur To Tentacruel, like in Pidgey/Pidgeotto/Pidgeot:
I think more than one person needs to look at the threads properly to see what needs to be removed and what's not.
"Overshadowed by Awesome" trope listings aren't the only offenders here, as I've pointed out.
Any help is welcome.

I stumbled upon Characters.Pokemon XY and cleaned it. MAJOR overuse of spoiler tags. Half the page was completely whited out. Please tell me the rest aren't that bad.
In uffish thought
Why was so much stuff, e.g. Handicapped Badass, commented out on Characters.Pokemon Generation II Families? The items are not ZCE's or fandom reactions, to be best of my knowledge.
That was the amazing part. Things just keep going.
They are not terribly informative about why they apply, I think. And some of them sound like audience stuff, actually.
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard FeynmanWell, the Handicapped Badass thing, at least, mentions( and is dependent of) Stealth Rock, an attack common in the metagame, but rare in-game, and it is not more handicapped than any other pokemon with 4x weakness. Beyond this, this mentions the Uber tier of Smogon.

Ninth day of the clean-up : Pokémon: Generation IV Families
As mentioned in Ask The Tropers, fandom reactions do not belong on the main pages. Shimaspawn noted that " sounds like Pokemon has a lot of misuse and the pages need to be cleaned up."
Japanese Teeth suggested "Rather than deleting the examples outright, move them to the Smogon page, where they'd actually be relevant."
And Fighteer answered: "That's a good idea. Stuff related to a particular fandom "interpretation" — ruleset, whatever — should go on that fandom's article rather than the main work's article."
Well, i created this thread to organize this clean-up.
