 :::::WP:SELFPUB is a measure for verifyability. Not notability. If it was one for notability, then we would be better off discussing an AfD for the article in question and the lists, as they all would have to rely on a majority of self-published sources. Yet we've confirmed Bulbasaur does indeed exist, so we shouldn't be confusing WP:V and WP:N. And the bit from WP:RS is open for interpretation: there's no guideline on what constitutes relying on third party sources. An article's reception section easily can for example: does that cover the entire quota for the article? Lastly, it's a guideline: even the article itself points out it's open for interpretation and common sense. Not every article will fit it.
