== The Preview Button ==
Instead of editing a page several times in a row, try using the preview button to make sure your edit looks the way you want it to. It's right next to the Save Page button. Please try it out, so as not to clog up the Recent Changes.

== Lumiose Trainers ==

Not trying to be argumentative with people, just trying to figure things out. Why are some trainers noted under the locations section and others are further down the page under a Trainers section? [[User:Drake Clawfang|Drake Clawfang]] ([[User talk:Drake Clawfang|talk]]) 22:35, 5 January 2014 (UTC)
:Hmm, hadn't noticed them. Per [[Project Locations]], all Trainers should go beneath places of interest, items and Pokémon (Project Towns and Cities doesn't mention Trainers in its structure, so Locations takes over). The restaurant Trainers should be put under their own headers under the Trainer section. And that one Lumi Cab Driver, who's using the wrong template.

== Pokemon Biologies ==

Hi! This is specifically about {{p|Starly}} eating the berries from {{p|Grotle}}. With the way we're doing biologies now, references are extremely important. We really shouldn't have anything mentioned at all that doesn't have a reference or a picture on the page. In the future, please try to track down the source of the information specifically or add a picture showing it. Thanks! [[User:Crystal Talian|<span style="color:#9F00C5">Crystal</span>]] [[User talk:Crystal Talian|<span style="color:#FF00FF">Talian</span>]] 20:59, 15 January 2014 (UTC)
:Aight. I don't touch Biology much, since I know the format was changed recently and there's still a number of pages that haven't been changed. I just saw your summary saying you needed a reference, so did a quick check; the picture on Grotle's page wasn't used on another page and I didn't see it mentioned on Ash's Torterra, so didn't have a clue where it came from. And I didn't think pictures (especially one centering more on a different Pokémon) would be wanted in the section. [[User:Glik|Glik]] ([[User talk:Glik|talk]]) 21:32, 15 January 2014 (UTC)

== Revert ==

Why did you revert my edits, the Scraggy line, Reshiram and Zekrom's types are no longer unique. --[[User:Cinday123|<span style="color:pink">Cinday123</span>]] <small>''([[User talk:Cinday123|<span style="color:lightblue">Talk</span>]])''</small> 02:02, 24 January 2014 (UTC)
:Because it doesn't matter if they're no longer unique, the trivia point is solely about the introduction of new unique combinations. It's like saying Generation I introduced the most Normal-types, including those later changed to Fairy; the trivium has nothing to do with what happened to them later, and adding it only confuses the point. [[User:Glik|Glik]] ([[User talk:Glik|talk]]) 02:12, 24 January 2014 (UTC)

::Oh yes, it didn't matter about type combinations so only when introduced right? --[[User:Cinday123|<span style="color:pink">Cinday123</span>]] <small>''([[User talk:Cinday123|<span style="color:lightblue">Talk</span>]])''</small> 02:14, 24 January 2014 (UTC)

== Proper nouns ==

In regards to the TCG, both Series and Era are proper nouns, and should be capitalized at all times. This is, however, different from the anime, where series is not capitalized. ''[[User:Maverick Nate|<sup style="color:#00008B;">'''Maverick'''</sup>]][[User talk:Maverick Nate|<sub style="color:#00008B;">'''Nate'''</sub>]]'' 03:47, 10 February 2014 (UTC)
:My bad. I thought I saw the Original Series box use lowercase, so I assumed, it being the first, that it wasn't capitalized like all the following Series. Does that mean the TCG Releases template needs to have Era capitalized? [[User:Glik|Glik]] ([[User talk:Glik|talk]]) 04:02, 10 February 2014 (UTC)

== A little note ==

Just so you know, it is probably a better idea to post to someone's talk page if it seems they aren't looking at the edit summaries.  A new user may not think to look there, or they may not have even gone on the recent changes page to see the summaries. They could very well be refreshing the talk page to see if someone responds to their post and not even looking at the recent changes.  Just something to keep in mind. --[[User:Funktastic~!|<span style="color:#009900">'''It's'''</span> <span style="color:#CC66FF">'''Funktastic~!'''</span>]][[User talk:Funktastic~!|<sub><small><span style="color:#99CCFF">''話してください''</span></small></sub>]] 02:47, 13 February 2014 (UTC)
:I was actually making a message to them after the second time; I checked to make sure no one beat me to it (since I'm rather slow on a phone), when I saw they added it back and did a quick revert. And I now see you have indeed beaten me to the punch. [[User:Glik|Glik]] ([[User talk:Glik|talk]]) 02:56, 13 February 2014 (UTC)

== {{p|Vivillon|Viviyon}} name origin ==

I added the ll note so people can understand why the "y" is there. [[User:Pikachu Bros.|<span style="color:#87CEEB">Pikachu Bros.</span>]] <small>([[User talk:Pikachu Bros.|<span style="color:red">talk</span>]])</small> 17:55, 18 March 2014 (UTC)
:Yamitora1 brought up the name pronunciation on the talk page a while back and asked if it was notable. Funktastic pretty much said "Not really, that's how French works" and I agree. We already note that papillon is a French word, I don't think we should have to tell people how the French pronounce their letters (and if I recall correctly, "ll" is actually a different letter from "l" in romance languages, so it'd probably turn into a grammar lesson). Plus, the way you put it looked like it was saying there's an English sound in a Japanese word. <small>[[User:Glik|glik]]</small><sup>[[User talk:Glik|glak]]</sup> 18:41, 18 March 2014 (UTC)
::I meant why the "y" is in "Viviyon". [[User:Pikachu Bros.|<span style="color:#87CEEB">Pikachu Bros.</span>]] <small>([[User talk:Pikachu Bros.|<span style="color:red">talk</span>]])</small> 18:53, 18 March 2014 (UTC)
:::...That's what I just said. The "yon" sound comes from papillon, which doesn't need further explanation. The trademarked name isn't actually an English word, it's a Japanese word spelled with Roman characters; it uses whichever letters it needs to to get the intended sound. ''That's'' why there's a y in it: the Japanese name uses characters that make a "yon" or "yah" sound or something like that, which is there because of papillon. <small>[[User:Glik|glik]]</small><sup>[[User talk:Glik|glak]]</sup> 19:11, 18 March 2014 (UTC)

== Mother 3 and other franchises ==
Game Freak did infact develop both Mother and Mother 2, more infamously known as EarthBound, under the company name of Ape Inc. Regardless, Both Pokemon and Mother/EarthBound are first,foremost and cheifly Nintendo owned and/or created franchises, so shouldn't any ''native'' copyrights be valid? Do we have to avoid talking about Mario, too?{{unsigned|Hwrdjacob}}
:As I said in the edit summary, Game Freak didn't have a part in Mother ''3''. Staff have previously removed copyrighted material from origin sections, including the Mother series (see {{p|Mewtwo}}'s history).

:Also, if you forget to sign a comment the first time, you're supposed to use the <nowiki>{{unsigned|User}}</nowiki> template instead of signing afterwards, as it messes up the time stamps. <small>[[User:Glik|glik]]</small><sup>[[User talk:Glik|glak]]</sup> 23:35, 23 March 2014 (UTC)
Even Nintendo Copyrights?--[[User:Hwrdjacob|Hwrdjacob]] ([[User talk:Hwrdjacob|talk]]) 00:44, 24 March 2014 (UTC)

And furthermore, Game Freak doesn't really matter at all when it comes to copyrights. They only have a small fraction of the claims to Pokemon and Mother: Nintendo owns everything about the two. Therefore, it seems stupid to me that we cannot cross reference something related to Pokemon AND owned by the same company, who referenced themselves in the first place. Smash Bros. would not be allowed on this wiki using this logic.
{{unsigned|Hwrdjacob}}
:First, I don't have the time nor the inclination to find out which copyrights are held by Nintendo and which are held by developers. I don't care if you think it's dumb; I didn't make the rule, bring it up with the staff if you don't like it. Second, Smash Bros. is not even remotely like putting copyrighted characters as origin inspiration: Smash Bros ''has Pokémon properties in it''. Finally, use the preview button more often. It's annoying to have to keep retyping a message because you found a typo in your last message or you forgot to sign. <small>[[User:Glik|glik]]</small><sup>[[User talk:Glik|glak]]</sup> 01:14, 24 March 2014 (UTC)

Ok, are we supposed to ignore the various references to other Nintendo owned franchises? Like the Mario game in the Department store, the NES,GCN,Wii, etc., and of course the ''painfully'' blatant origin of Excadrill? It's not like Mewtwo where it was broad strokes; the resemblance is astonishing. What about the move Round? Or here's a good question: why is Pulseman on the wiki? If Pokemon references something, it ''references'' something. Oh, and there's a whole page dedicated to references to popular culture, almost none of which are owned by Nintendo. [[User:Hwrdjacob|Hwrdjacob]] ([[User talk:Hwrdjacob|talk]]) 08:07, 24 March 2014 (UTC)
::What part of "in origin sections" do you not understand? There are some pages where we're allowed to speculate some; species pages are not one of them. I reiterate, '''I do not care if you don't like it'''. You're not going to convince me that I should undo my revision. Staff have said don't put copyrighted characters of other franchises/corporations/whatever in Pokémon's origin sections without solid evidence, the Mother series included. If you want them to see if your ''opinion'' is enough evidence, bring it up like another user did on [[User talk:Crystal Talian#Proper referencing to Pop culture|Crystal Talian's talk page]]. <small>[[User:Glik|glik]]</small><sup>[[User talk:Glik|glak]]</sup> 12:57, 24 March 2014 (UTC)

== Revert on volbeat breeding learnset ==

I added lightscreen, but you reverted it because "it's not an egg move" but i don't  what that means. When the volbeat comes out of the egg at lvl 5 he has that move and the Dustox gets it by lvl up. So what is an egg move?, btw this is in sapphire. [[User:Faito|Faito]] ([[User talk:Faito|talk]]) 05:37, 3 April 2014 (UTC)
:An [[Egg move]] is a move that a Pokémon learns through breeding, though for the learn lists we narrow it down to moves it can ''only'' learn through breeding. Volbeat can already learn Light Screen through TM16. <small>[[User:Glik|glik]]</small><sup>[[User talk:Glik|glak]]</sup> 11:47, 3 April 2014 (UTC)
::Ahh, got it, thanks for clearing that out. I understand :), i will check if the move is listed on TM or By lvl up before adding it to Breeding. Thanks again [[User:Faito|Faito]] ([[User talk:Faito|talk]]) 15:27, 3 April 2014 (UTC)

==Sorry==

I understand the problem, but I'm not going to change it.  Please hear me out.

I'm not from the United States.  I'm from the United States of America. I'm not accusing you or anyone else on Bulbapedia of this, but I'm sick of people (mostly self-righteous foreigners who think my countrymen are completely oblivious of the outside world) trying to drop "America" from the name, or referring to my people as "U.S. Americans" because there happens to be two continents that have America in their name.

Referring to the USA as "the United States" without "America" on the end isn't any more specific or accurate than just saying "America". The official, full name of Mexico ([[wp:Mexico|Estados Unidos Mexicanos]]) essentially translates to the United States of Mexico in English.  Likewise, the USA is referred to as the Estados Unidos Americanos in Spanish. When Mexico won its independence, they modeled their government after ours, right down to the name. Either way you slice it, there's potential confusion.

None of the other countries in North or South America have America in their name. Brazilians, Mexicans, Canadians, etc. do not and have never identified as Americans.  They identify as Brazilians, Mexicans, Canadians, etc., or in the past, as subjects of whatever empire they were a part of.

The USA was free to call itself what it wanted, America, long before any of them won their own independence or it was given to them.


So you can either ignore it, or change the official tag to United States of America. I will not bend to this extreme, ridiculous example of political correctness.  If it means I get disciplined or even permanently banned, so be it. I'm tired of my people's identity being stolen from us.

== Zorua/Zoruark and Deoxys ==

I disagree with you. Zorua required a fateful encounter Celebi to get it in its first appearance in a game, which you could only get through events, meaning it was event exclusive. Sure, it could be bred, but an event was required to get it in the first place. Zoroark also needed event Pokémon to get it in its first appearance. Even the trivia on Zorua's page agrees with me "Zorua and Zoroark are the only two non-legendary Pokémon to ever have once been event-exclusive". ☆<span style="font-family:Algerian">[[User:Solar Dragon|<span style="color:green">The</span>]] [[User talk:Solar Dragon|<span style="color:red">Solar</span>]] [[Special:Contributions/Solar Dragon|<span style="color:blue">Dragon</span>]]</span>☆ 19:27, 10 December 2014 (UTC)
:I'm gonna disagree with that trivium. You could get a Zorua in B2W2 and could thus trade it back to BW. You could argue that that makes Zorua still event-exclusive for BW, but I'd be willing to bet there are events from Gen III of a Kanto or Johto mon that does the same thing for RSE. <small>[[User:Glik|glik]]</small><sup>[[User talk:Glik|glak]]</sup> 19:56, 10 December 2014 (UTC)

::But Bulbasaur and the other Kanto starters started off as non-event exclusive. They were available in Red/Blue/Green/Yellow.

By using your logic, you could say that every Pokémon you can't get in a game without trading or events are event exclusive. ☆<span style="font-family:Algerian">[[User:Solar Dragon|<span style="color:green">The</span>]] [[User talk:Solar Dragon|<span style="color:red">Solar</span>]] [[Special:Contributions/Solar Dragon|<span style="color:blue">Dragon</span>]]</span>☆ 10:54, 11 December 2014 (UTC)
:::That's why I'm saying Zorua's not event-exclusive. It became readily available (more so than it already was through breeding) only one game later, so it's only "exclusive" to a single pair of games, just as is Bulbasaur and probably dozens more. But that's not what we mean by event-exclusive. Because it was Zorua's first game I feel is being too semantic (especially given that the whole event-exclusive label was supposed to be used for mons that are ''always'' event-exclusive, i. e. Mythical Pokemon). <small>[[User:Glik|glik]]</small><sup>[[User talk:Glik|glak]]</sup> 11:06, 11 December 2014 (UTC)
::::Greetings.  I happened to be over at ArcToraphim's page and have given my opinion there.  While I can't call it an "official ruling", per se, I covered all of the availability that you both have covered.  Because it was available without the need for Memory Link in B2/W2 (others of N's required it to unlock their appearances), I would say that while it's an in-game event, it's one that happens every single time you restart the file.  The question therefore is whether you consider an in-game event as event exclusive.  I don't.  Therefore, I say no only because of B2/W2; otherwise, yes, the ones in B/W require imports from Gen. IV.  [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 20:42, 14 December 2014 (UTC)

== About movie 1 ==

"What's the point of saying ''we don't know if it was edited?''": what I meant is that once they decided to add the ten-minute prologue (instead of starting the movie with Ash battling [[Raymond]] the pirate trainer) they probably edited out some datails from the movie proper that became redundant since the prologue already explained Mewtwo's backstory. In fact, if one watches the three Mewtwo episodes and then the movie without the prologue, he will find the episodes confusing since the movie proper doesn't explain the unexplained things in those episodes. I wish someone could translate the various entries like [http://www.style.fm/as/05_column/shudo167.shtml this one] from Takeshi Shudo's blog so that we know what he said about the movie. --[[User:Abcd|Abcd]] ([[User talk:Abcd|talk]]) 16:47, 11 December 2014 (UTC)

== ORAS demo islands ==

With the information you gave me [[Talk:Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire Special Demo Version#Trainer and Pokémon listings?|previously]] and encounter data floating around the net, I've figured out that apparently the guide book's numbering for the different Mirage spots follows the location's index number (Mirage caves 1-8 correspond to locations 508-515 (respectively), for example). Using all that, I've managed to confidently determine which of the ORAS Mirage spots correspond to which of the ORAS demo islands. There's just one thing that's unclear to me...

For the outside area of the island in the first demo adventure (before you enter the cave where Matt and Tabitha are), it's not clear where that corresponds to in ORAS. I've ''tentatively'' hypothesized that the Mirage Caves might have a brief outer area where you initially land, except that in ORAS perhaps ''none'' of these places have grass (as the places I'm looking at don't have encounter tables). Is that so, or does that outside area in the demo correspond to somewhere else?

(I also wonder about the outside areas (at the beginning and the end) of the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LlYozBhwNXE secret Aqua/Magma mission], and the outside of the Expert battle island. Though those places don't have grass, I'm still curious.) [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 19:31, 15 December 2014 (UTC)
:Caves have outside landing areas, yes. And, as I recall, they don't have any grass (at work attm, so can't verify). The first mission Cave matches up except for the added patches. Haven't managed to get the last secret mission, but the videos looked like Mirage Cave 5 (or whatever I said on the demo page). <small>[[User:Glik|glik]]</small><sup>[[User talk:Glik|glak]]</sup> 20:16, 15 December 2014 (UTC)
::Okay. Just knowing there are "landing areas" will let me add demo data correctly. The rest mostly just comes down to curiosity, which I can easily wait until I have ORAS to satisfy. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 21:41, 15 December 2014 (UTC)

I mean, Japanese word カンテラ (meaning "a portable lanturn") is involved in Chandelure's name, so..

== Mirage Spots ==

Regarding [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Soaring_in_the_sky&diff=next&oldid=2236356 this comment], I got updated information from a friend online whom I had no way of Streetpassing (he was surprised when I told him about his 146 Wonder Trades).

Further, when I figured this out today, the indication of 22 updates came in, and I ended up resetting without saving (I was testing something and forgot to save after catching Magby).  I had to reconnect to again get 22 notices, and the island with Magby did not appear.  The same thing I did twice more until a Munna island (or mountain, it gets both) appeared.  Therefore, there IS A correlation to data being received with a connection to the Internet even if the connection is not required for Streetpass data; you must connect to download the data to the game, I find.  [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 16:59, 16 January 2015 (UTC)

::Oops, missed your reply.

::I don't know why they shuffle, but the suspicion is that they may be chosen at random from passersby as well.  I occasionally get Streetpass info, but only one at a time; I hit anywhere from 20-30 passes when I hit the Internet.  I wonder if the data is stored and you can only connect (and then save) Internet data once a day, but if you don't save it forgets that you already connected to the Internet?  Getting data from Streetpasses makes the most sense since friends aren't always online; in that case, it likely saves a whole bunch of data until midnight and then, on the new day, your first connect refreshes data.  I have to try connections sometime just before and just after midnight to confirm this.  [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 20:46, 17 January 2015 (UTC)
:::When you update StreetPass and SpotPass info through the Holo Caster, I'm pretty sure the data is saved  right then, independent of your save file. If the spots are coming from Passerby (or Acquaintances? You get hundreds of Passerby hits a day but obviously not that many spots), then it'd make sense; Passerby data isn't stored after resets (it is if you merely disconnect however). <small>[[User:Glik|glik]]</small><sup>[[User talk:Glik|glak]]</sup> 20:57, 17 January 2015 (UTC)
::::The data acquisition works like this:
::::*You connect to the Internet (the only time you save automatically).
::::*You change to the BuzzNav.
::::*You click the mailbox.
::::If you save after this, you maintain exactly what you already have until midnight, and you can't download any more Mirage Spots ir data except from Streetpassing.
