== Any way to do this? ==

Since this is a talk page, I'm wondering if it's possible to eliminate the regional Pokédex entries from the template if there's no data for them, instead of having that dash. It'd make it a lot easier to see at a glance which regions the Pokémon's naturally available in, or what generation it is. Might be a bit problematic if we take into account Pokémon in the Hoenn dex beyond 202, though. Feedback? [[User:TTEchidna|Tom Temprotran]] 02:39, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

I can't say I particularly like this change to the numbers section. It does not cope well with the case where a Pokémon is not in the regional Pokédex. Also, it's a blatant copy of what Wikipedia does for their infobox. - [[User:Zhen Lin|振霖]]<sub>[[User talk:Zhen Lin|T]]</sub> 22:58, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
:I'm not fond of it either.  It's not particularly useful and it doesn't fit the rest of the template very well, I think.  --[[User:Pie|Pie]] 23:09, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
::Since we are agreed, then I will change it back. - [[User:Zhen Lin|振霖]]<sub>[[User talk:Zhen Lin|T]]</sub> 05:32, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
:::All right. Though... I never changed it in the first place, because I know I'd've screwed something up. I was just wondering if it was possible. [[User:TTEchidna|Tom Temprotran]] 01:17, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
::::No, we weren't talking about your proposal, which is reasonable, if difficult. - [[User:Zhen Lin|振霖]]<sub>[[User talk:Zhen Lin|T]]</sub> 08:37, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
:::::Ah, okay. Sorry 'bout that, then. [[User:TTEchidna|Tom Temprotran]] 07:33, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

== Habitat? ==

Should the habitat (based on the FRLG dexlist thing) be included in the infobox? It'd of course be N/A for Gen IV and beyond Pokémon, unless that's still in the data like the color is...

The only problem is that we'd have to go though the first 386 to include it. Should we? --'''[[User:TTEchidna|<span style="color:#FF0000;">T</span>]][[User talk:TTEchidna|<span style="color:#FF0000;">T</span>]][[wp:Echidna|<span style="color:#FF0000;">E</span><span style="color:#0000FF;">chidna</span>]]''' 18:42, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

== Name Pronunciations? ==

Should we add a section on how to pronounce the Pokémon's name to the Infobox? I for one have trouble correctly pronouncing a name correctly if I read it but don't hear or see it pronounced correctly, so I think that it would be a feature that would be a good addition to the Pokémon pages. I know that it might take a lot of work to find and input all of the pronunciations, but I think that it would be worth it. '''<font color="green">Goldenpoke</font>[[User:Goldenrod111|<span style="color: #8B4513">1</span>]][[User_talk:Goldenpoke111|<span style="color: #8B4513">1</span>]][[Special:Contributions/Goldenpoke111|<span style="color: #8B4513">1</span>]]''' 16:46, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

== Base Happiness ==

Should there be a section on the base happiness of a Pokemon? [[User:TehPerson|TehPerson]] 05:55, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

== Links ==

The pages for all the regional Pokédexes have been moved from "List of Pokémon by X Dex number" to "List of Pokémon by X Pokédex number". It's be nice if someone could update the links in the infobox to reflect that. --[[User:Martonimos|((<font color="#008000">Marton</font>]] [[User talk:Martonimos|<font color="#50C878">imos</font>))]] 22:22, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

== Basic Japanese romanization ==

Is it possible to add the Japanese pronunciation of the Pokémon's name? Such as showing that Lucario's name would be pronounced ''Rukario''. I was hoping that maybe this could help stop weeaboos who think Pikachu's Japanese name is ''Pikachuu'' or thinking Blacky's name is ''Burakki''. *shivers* I know we already have a page for this, but I think it might be helpful to have it on the Pokémon's page as well. --[[Tracey Sketchit|<span style="color:#33CC66;">'''ケンジ'''</span>]][[User talk:Kenji-girl|<span style="color:#6600CC;">'''の'''</span>]][[User:Kenji-girl|<span style="color:#FF00CC;">'''ガール'''</span>]] 05:13, 29 November 2008 (UTC)
:Lucario's pretty much pronounced the same, it's just that the "Lu" is pronounced in the same manner that the "ruuuuuu!" of "Ran Ran Ruu!" is pronounced... which is kind of a "say L while you're saying R".

:I think it'd be better to, possibly soon, implement sound files that play 1: the cry from the games, 2: the anime cry (Japanese and English), and 3: PBR pronunciation ripped from the game, or just ask Ken Gates himself to record the pronunciation...
