It'd be a fine thing if all the authors of waaaaaay too many Pokemon articles turned their attention to more "serious" endeavors, but there's no way to make that happen.
Well, we can hope that when they grow up and go to college and eventually move into the real world, they will continue to edit Wikipedia, and hopefully not simply to keep the Pokemon articles up to date with the latest release. Even if only a few percent of them move onto real articles, some good will come of it.
And if not, well, we'll have the best encyclopedia of anime and computer games in the world. There's something to be said for that. [[Exploding sheep]] is a fascinating article, for example.
