Latias and Latios

 * – ( View AfD View log )

What makes those Pokemon notable? There is a reception section here, but it is just a list of apperances, plushies, and side comments in the form of sentence or two in passing (so WP:SIGCOV fail). Not a single source cited names those characters in their title, and even the quotes in the articles are pure plot summary like. Latios has the ability to make its foe see an image of what it has seen or imagines in its head. This Pokémon is intelligent and understands human speech." Anything else I see online in my BEFORE is a game-guide on how to obtain this unit or use it in a particular game (ex. ). At best this can be redirected to List of generation III Pokémon.

 * Delete Clearly non-notable, and the reception section is terrible, showing a total lack of WP:NPOV and mostly incorporating criticism of people who are very much not Pokemon fans. Not that it's anything substantive, since it's mostly just snippets of larger reviews unrelated to the Pokemon. Not enough here to make it pass GNG.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 06:30, 11 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Redirect to List of generation III Pokémon - I couldn't find any coverage discussing these Pokemon in-depth, rather I found page after page of game guides and walkthroughs. They're insufficiently notable for a discrete article. (Which is a shame, as I love the movie based around them....) firefly  ( t · c ) 07:28, 11 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Redirect to List of generation III Pokémon per Firefly. Some of the development and reception information about the subjects should be salvaged for Pokemon Heroes, especially the entire paragraph's worth of cited critic reviews for the movie. Haleth (talk) 08:58, 11 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Redirect per above. Piotrus, Perhaps you might want to see Koffing and Weezing and Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres (I think most of the sources are just passing mention on reception). 180.194.151.145 (talk) 10:35, 11 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Dear anon, I'll take a look but you are welcome to AfD them yourself before I do. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 11:03, 11 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Forgot to include Meltan and Melmetal. 180.194.151.145 (talk) 12:06, 11 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Redirect per above. Link20XX (talk) 11:12, 11 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Redirect. I'd certainly agree with redirecting certain other Pokémon articles, particularly those which use multiple Pokémon to enhance notability. - Bryn (talk) (contributions) 15:36, 16 June 2021 (UTC)
