I noticed that over the weekend someone has started adding Merchandise sections to individual Pokémon pages. They seem to have started with some of the fast food promos. Pikachu has the most things added at this point - the new "Merchandise" section is between "Other Appearances" and "Trivia".

I would assume with the vast amount of Pokémerch that it would clutter the articles of many (if not most) Pokémon. I do see that it could be helpful for someone who wants to know about merch for a specific mon, especially one that doesn't have hundreds of items available. But I'm not sure that use case is worth adding it to every mon's page. If it is added, I would assume it would need to be a separate article linked to for many mon.

This would seem to be the most reasonable approach for Pokemon like Pikachu who have a billion pieces of merch, but for something like, say, Klang, I can't see it cluttering things up too much.
 
Eventually it would need to be separate yes, but in the meantime, people adding the info is never a bad thing. I think for the longest time for merchandise, we've let perfection be the enemy of good, so it's good to see people adding bits and pieces here and there
