Wondering if there's any appetite for splitting individual games into their own separate pages. I know it's unusual for a puzzle series to have multiple pages, but Puyo Puyo is an unusual puzzle series and the main page feels like a mess as it is now. Plus it would give the modern entries with increased narrative focus room to breathe.

Main reason why I'm asking and not just doing is because (A) I'm nearly useless for the narrative stuff beyond Fever 1, and (B) there's more than 1000 wicks that would need to be checked.

Games that I'm almost certain can work as individual pages:

  • The mainline games: Puyo Puyo (1992), Puyo Puyo 2, Puyo Puyo Sun, Puyo Puyo~n, Puyo Pop Fever, Puyo Puyo Fever 2, Puyo Puyo 7
  • Puyo Puyo! 15th Anniversary, Puyo Puyo!! 20th Anniversary
  • Puyo Puyo Tetris, Puyo Puyo Tetris 2
  • Madou Monogatari

Games that I'd like to work into individual pages, but I'm just a little bit uncertain:

  • Puyo Puyo (1991): Would be a very small page, but there might some value in one to differentiate it from the 1992 Puyo.
  • Nazo Puyo: I think it could work as an individual page, but the games might work just as well being covered on the main Puyo page after it's decluttered.
  • Puyo Puyo Box: I only really know Scramble mode, but if anyone knows more about the Quest mode then it might work on its own.
  • Puyo Pop (Game Boy Advance): Same deal as with Nazo Puyo, the difference being that Minna has more story stuff but is also only one game instead of a subseries.
  • Puyo Puyo!! Quest: I'm not that familiar with the game, but I'm throwing it out there because it's fairly old for a mobile game and apparently has manzais that might be interesting to cover.
  • Puyo Puyo Chronicle: Probably works on its own if enough story details are out there.

The character pages would probably need to be reshuffled too. I feel like a good format would be:

  • Compile Major: It's dense, but difficult to split up as it is now.
  • Puyo Puyo (1992)
  • Puyo Puyo 2
  • Puyo Puyo Sun
  • Puyo Puyo~n
  • Nazo Puyo if it gets its own page
  • Madou Monogatari
  • Puyo Puyo Fever Protagonists: Amite, Raffina, and Sig have enough to carry their own page separate from the other Fever characters.
  • Puyo Pop Fever
  • Puyo Puyo Fever 2
  • Puyo Puyo 7
  • Puyo Puyo Tetris: PPT2 can have its own page or just redirect to the character page we already have.
  • Puyo Puyo Chronicle
  • Puyo Puyo!! Quest

Well, that's about an article's worth of typing there so I'll leave it at that and see if anyone has opinions.

Could definitely split off individual pages. Probably easiest to just think of each split as its own project; write a description and grab a few tropes regarding that game in particular, then go through the main page moving over any examples specific to that game.

Trouble Cube continues to be a general-purpose forum for those who desire such a thing.

I like these ideas, personally. 7 will have to wait a bit because of the new fan translation coming EventuallyTM, but most of Chronicle can be done since all the translated cutscenes are uploaded, and when the patch comes out we can fill in the rest.

Edit: I should point out that IMO we don't need to make new character pages for each game, we can just direct to the ones we have here.

Fair enough regarding the character pages.

If nobody else has objections, I'll try to get things going on Puyo Puyo Tetris and/or Madou Monogatari pages over the weekend as a starting point.

Hey, is this where I lodge a complaint, because there's some asshole called Butt Satan who's editting in things like pedophile accusations and borderline N-words in the character pages.

Please use Ask The Tropers for this.

With Puyo Tetris flying about, where would any related tropes fall under? (and I haven't found any clean rips of the Puyo Tetris art.)

I personally think that the main page is getting kind of bloated. If there's enough story stuff to make Puyo Tetris its own page (and I'm sure that there is), it might be best to go that route.

Similarly, any of the older games that have enough unique tropes to justify its own page should probably be split off, as well.

[Edit] Or maybe we don't go through all of that trouble and use folders to separate general/gameplay/story tropes.

PuyoTeto probably deserves its own page, as right now there's the dilemma of "if a trope example is from that game should it go into both the Puyo page and the Tetris page or just either?"

You think we should drop in Puyo Quest info? I'm also considering adding in the new art for the side characters (Minotauros, Seriri, etc.) on the Chara page.

Speaking of side characters, why doesn't Dongurigaeru and Tarutaru have a section on the Chara page? o-o

The more games that are touched upon, the better.

I'm of the opinion that everyone should have an entry on the Character page. Maybe exclude one-note characters like many of the guys from Tsu, but that's it. I also think that the Fever characters should be split into two groups like the Madou characters are.

So I stumbled upon this major call back which is summarized in my tumblr: http://schezoroark.tumblr.com/post/37385806263/something-mind-blowing-i-just-found-out

What trope would this fall under?

Seems like another Call Back. I'd put it under that, but it could also count as a Stealth Insult to Rulue.
