Even More Post Categories

I've had half a year to think about it, and I've decided to undertake the division of post categories on this Pokémon blog according to what I posed earlier at the beginning of this year. I've put in the initial effort, and that has led to the creation of those categories, but now they're slightly different from what I planned, and there is something new as well. The effort doesn't stop there as well. With that, I'd like to take a post to explain what I've done and what else needs to be done.

The big thing is the breaking up of the "Events" category into four new ones. The new ones are "Game Events" for happenings in the games that are not necessarily reflected in real life, "Community Events" for happenings that are initiated by local groups of fans and linked to certain Pokémon happenings, "J-Events" for Japanese pop culture events where my cosplay is likely to be featured, and "Tournaments" for competitions with the games. These four new categories ought to cover all the events that may just involve Pokémon and my presence, and work well for some time ahead.

One new category that isn't related to this restructuring is the "People" category. This category is intended to contain posts with relations to certain persons who are definitively related to Pokémon or maybe just one step removed from that. This would include key figures linked to the franchise or even those with certain renown, for which Pokémon is included. It might be considered one step forward in relieving the burden of the "Musings" category, which indeed has continued to burgeon since the last time I reported the number of posts in it (now: 781). Much still needs to be done should that category be reorganized as well.

As with the earlier reorganization of "Game", some work remains in the reorganization, being the leftovers from the prior category that haven't been reorganized. In fact, the reorganization of the former is still ongoing and has not been finished, even well after the fact. Further, it seems that the reorganization may have let some pages end up in the "Musings" category, essentially dumping them there rather than reorganizing them as intended. Therefore, the reorganization of this may become the rather pertinent next step to be undertaken. Yet it is understandably a massive next step due to the number of posts.

Five and a half years of posting has led to a massive number of posts, many of which have required reorganization every so often. Evidently, as that number balloons, so does the number of categories, which I've effectively just increased with the current reorganization. It may be that the creation of a category structure for posts on this blog may be regarded as a work in progress along with the posts themselves. But that seems to be par for the course, considering that Pokémon itself is always in constant development.
