Does anyone like lists?
I'm trying to make a complete listing of
all Pokémon games (just games for
now) released.
This is my progress so far. It's a bit of a draft, but it's a start. Columns go like that:
- Title
- Date of first release
- Platform
- Genre
- Developer
- Potential changes needed
On the first sheet are all official, Nintendo/TCP-published games, while I've included licensed ones on the second. I don't want to mix the two, as licensed games are too many, often in a blurry line between game and toy, and mostly pointless; they are still listed separately regardless. In the games' list I've also included non-games, like the several apps/videos/publications released via electronic media over time.
There are still things I'm undecided about, like whether or not I should list GBA Video volumes and the several DS movies separately (or at all), and if there's a distinction I should make between e-Reader games (like per set or something). I'm also not sure about the Website games; for now I've only made a distinction between "normal"/old official site games, and the Daisuki/Trainer Club games. Also, the genres part is still very rough.
Feel free to add anything I've missed and correct anything you feel is improper/wrong either as comment on the sheet or here. Especially on the missing developers part, it would be appreciated.
For the record, this is potentially part of a larger-scale project. Information collected will definitely be used to fill omissions in Bulbapedia and perhaps more than that. Definitely expect it in a more formal presentation when it's done.
