Some time ago, I suggested on the Discord channel to split the GBx section of the Game Resource page into (S)GB(C) and GBA because that section is quite large and, well, putting those two together doesn't make much sense to begin with. Then, I noticed that all first three generations of Pokemon games share the same page, which is almost absurd.
While most people I talked to on this issue agreed that the page should be split, there didn't seem to be a consensus on how should the new pages be named. Although this doesn't affect the number of pages the page in question will be split into, which is 3, the way new pages are named will affect how the information on the page will be organized in the future. Therefore, I think it's a good idea to bring up this issue here to discuss it more effectively.
So far, there are two stances on how the new pages should be named.
1. I think each generation of Pokemon games should be given one page because they almost always use the same engine. The only exception is LGPE from Gen 7, which won't even be a concern for TASing purposes for a while for obvious reasons. Currently,
the page for Gen 4 Pokemon games are named this way, so are the pages for
SNES DKC trilogy,
GBA MMZ tetralogy, and a few others.
2. Spikestuff thinks each title deserves its own page. This means the 3 new pages will be named "Pokemon RGBY", "Pokemon GSC", and "Pokemon RSE", and if someone decides to add information for FRLG in the future, another new page named "Pokemon FRLG" shall be added. His examples are
Sonic Advance 2 and
Sonic Advance 3. IMHO, this is unnecessary because Pokemon games from the same generation tend to share glitches, tricks, etc., and if all titles have separate pages, there will be a lot of repetitions between pages.
What do you think is the best way to handle this?
As a side note,
these two pages should be renamed after the split of the main page is done since they only contain information of one specific generation.
