Wikipedia is not a gameguide. The information consists solely of base stats that in no way further comprehension of the Pokemon franchise to a layperson. The article cannot be improved because an article about legendary pokemon and their base stats is both game guide, and any encyclopeadic information would be found in that specific pokemon's article.

• Dont Delete . This is a helpful page that compares and contrast the diffrent legendary pokemons powers according to their basestats, and is helpful to readers who want to know information on how strong each is. It is a combination of pages put into one that tell the reader each pokemons power in contrast to one another and in no way helps one complete the pokemon game in any way, so I do not understand how this is a guide, and if it is, then so is every other pokemon page that tells the reader how to catch pokemon, which is way more of a guide then this one.
  • comment there's two things to note about your objection. The first is that you call it a guide in the first sentence then deny it in the second. The other problem is that there are no pages telling people HOW to catch Pokemon, or there SHOULDN'T be... if you see info like, "You can catch Zigzagoon on Rts. 1, 2, 3, 4, etc." delete it. This is a general encyclopedia and detailed info about base stats is considered to be too in-depth for the average reader. Ask yourself - would someone who is never going to play the game care if Ho-Oh's attack is 110 or 120? Saying one has a higher attack than another is enough. Perhaps you would like to contribute to Bulbapedia instead? -ΖαππερΝαππερ ^Babel_Alexandria 19:41, 19 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • and editing your previous comments to avoid confronting the fact that you recognize it as a guide doesn't help anything. -ΖαππερΝαππερ ^Babel_Alexandria 17:02, 22 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• WP:NOT a game guide. While this is a decent article, it's in the wrong place. I would say transfer it over to Bulbapedia, but they almost certainally already have an article like this, so Delete away, captain. -Ryanbomber 13:21, 20 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
