Category talk:Pokémon (Images)
Seeing as User:Maff is uploading large quantities of new images, I'd like to suggest some new categories to keep everything tidy.
I propose that the current Category:Pokémon (Images) become the parent category for all Pokémon image categories, but should have no actual images inside of it. It would have other categories like Category:Exclusive Mega Pokémon (Images) and Category:Custom Sprite Pokémon (Images).
So here is the master list:
| Link | Description | Criterial |
|---|---|---|
| Category:Pokémon (Images) | Parent category | All Pokémon image categories |
| ↳ Category:Shiny Pokémon (Images) | Parent category for shiny Pokémon images | All shiny Pokémon images and subcategories |
| ↳↳ Category:Generation X Shiny Pokémon (Images) | Subcategory of both Category:Pokémon (Images) and Category:Shiny Pokémon (Images) | All shiny Pokémon from X generation |
| ↳↳ Category:Shiny Mega Pokémon (Images) | Subcategory of both Category:Pokémon (Images) and Category:Shiny Pokémon (Images) | All shiny Mega Pokémon |
And repeat for each SAM type with subcategories for each Generation (+ PFQ Exclusives) and Mega Pokémon. Cool, any feedback?

- I apologize for not categorizing them up to this point; I was planning to categorize them later into Category:Pokémon (Images), as I was working with a limited time frame earlier. It won't happen again.
- The proposed system looks pretty straightforward to me, though I do want to clarify something so that, if this is implemented, I don't screw up. If I'm adding categories to an image (let's say File:Pokémon_Shiny_Bulbasaur.png for simplicity), it would be categorized both in Category:Shiny Pokémon (Images) and Category:Generation 1 Shiny Pokémon (Images), correct?
- Also, would it be better to do Category:Region Shiny Pokémon (Images) instead of Generation? Simply because there may be confusion between the generation in which a Pokémon has been added and the region that the Pokémon are in, in the PFQ dex.

- The category system is good, but Pokémon should be grouped by region (as suggested by Maff), because PFQ uses different Pokédex ordering.
- I also can handle uploading and applying categories automatically, using a bot (this was permitted by Niet).
- To Maff: In your example, the file will appear only in Category:Generation 1 Shiny Pokémon (Images). However, the category itself will appear in the Category:Shiny Pokémon (Images) as a subcategory.
