I don't see a strong reason why these two characters warrant a split from their listing at List of generation VI Pokémon. Most of the detail in this article becomes trivia when it focuses on minutiae of the characters that reliable sources did not find significant. Even the Reception goes into specific rankings, which, as facts, impart little for the reader. (If written qualitatively, the reader can actually understand the importance of the ranking, though I'm not sure there's something encyclopedic to gain from a prerelease IGN reader poll in the first place...) If this article's content was merged and pruned at List of generation VI Pokémon—basic design, appearances, importance in overall series in a single paragraph—I wonder what need would be left for this separate article.

They are mascots, inspiration for X and Y lineup and have appeared since then all over. They are much more significant than usual Pokémon, they are deities. Pikavoom (talk) 05:45, 11 June 2020 (UTC)Reply
That's not how they're covered in reliable sources. czar 21:23, 19 June 2021 (UTC)Reply
