[edit] WP:GA/R

I'm taking this article to WP:GA/R because 1. No notice was given on the talk page when it was speedied and 2. Because this article does have a "cultural impact" section, detailing the relevance of the subject to real life. Homestarmy (talk) 15:33, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

I have relisted it. Geometry guy 19:28, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

[1]Wiki Pika Link

Speaking of Cultural Impact, I was under the impression that the creature was derived from the real life Pika, in the above posted link.

[edit] Parody appearance

Do the editors of this article think that the appearance of the clearly derivative "Peekaboo" character in the Young Justice: Sins of Youth storyline would merit mention in the "In popular culture" section or not? In that instance, I believe there was a 50-foot tall version rampaging through town who most of the characters had to take on shortly before the finale.

[edit] Pika in Smash Bros.

Should we add any further info about Pikachu in the Smash Bros. series? Pezzar (talk) 07:49, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

Pikachu does play a major roll in the 3 Smash Bros. series, but I think the current paragraph(s) is fine. We could possibly add a single sentence about (his/her) role in SSE, but that's about it. --haha169 (talk) 00:49, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Talk archiving

This page is enormous. For the sake of everyone's sanity, I was considering archiving the talk page. Per WP:AATP, a consensus should be established first. The reason to do this archiving seems obvious: This pages is full of lengthy, dead discussions. It would be better for promoting future discussions to have one of the bots archive this page every few months, or at least make the first archive by hand now. So, let's leave the discussion open for a few days: Is there any good reason, based on Wikipedia guidelines and precedents, not to do this? (I'm only proposing to archive very old ones, say those above "GA removal") TheBilly (talk) 23:54, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

I support an archive, but archive everything up to the end of October 2007 to leave only the most recent comments on the page. MelicansMatkin (talk) 00:30, 25 December 2007 (UTC)
I agree. There's no reason not to, and if nothing else, there's a snowball's chance that there'd be a reason not to archive the page here. --Cheeser1 (talk) 01:08, 25 December 2007 (UTC)
Definite Archive. And quickly, too. This page is enormous. --haha169 (talk) 05:59, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
Archived. MelicansMatkin (talk) 15:39, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] GA to FA

Well, I'm trying to get this article improved to FA status, so if anyone wants to pitch in, that'd be great. Useight (talk) 02:37, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Linking

Please don't link this into the article List of Pokemon I think such Pikachu is Ash Ketchum's Pokemon it deserves to stay the same Matthew Cantrell (talk) 02:37, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

I'm not sure what you mean, are you requesting that the page not be redirected to List of Pokémon? Useight (talk) 02:40, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] New image of Pikachu

As you can see, I have uploaded a new picture: Pikachu.svg. It is derived from a CDR image, which can be found here. The converting and cropping hasn't done it much good however. I've contacted Tkgd2007 about this, and if he can't help, I'll contact someone else. The original PNG file can still be found here. Cheers, Face 19:02, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

I requested improvement of this picture at the graphic lab, see here. If you are able to improve this image, please do! - Face 21:56, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Snapshots

Please consider adding this gallery as a list of relevant photos about Pikachu RyanTMulligan (talk) 16:35, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Mammal?!

Yeah, there's no way that (1) pikachu is a mammal, and (2) is of "high" importance as a mammal. Triptenator (talk) 20:55, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

I'd agree that Pikachu wouldn't be of high-importance to the Mammal wikiproject, whoever, Pikachu is a mouse Pokémon, and mice are mammals. Useight (talk) 23:12, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
Ovipositioning mammals are not impossible, besides. -Jéské (v^_^v E pluribus unum) 05:55, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
It can be "high" importance as a mammal on the wikiproject, since I doubt kids care more about platypuses than Pikachu. However, its listing as GA is invalid. I've removed it. --haha169 (talk) 04:30, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
My bad. My comment above was mistaken with Meowth. --haha169 (talk) 04:30, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] About the hatnote

Is "Pikachu" that confusable with any "Picacho"? Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 01:55, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

A person could be looking for Picacho, and simply misspell it. I think the distinguish template is needed. Artichokertalk 02:05, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Category:Fictional monsters

Why was Pikachu removed from the fictional monsters category? Pikachu is clearly a monster. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.175.50.102 (talk) 05:22, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

Only if you take the name of the franchise as gospel. A category of fictional rodents is a better fit. -Jéské (v^_^v E pluribus unum) 05:28, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
