== Dustox (Galactic's Conquest) ==

How on earth is a Psychic-type Dustox an error? Dustox is part-Poison, and unless you've been under a rock since 2006, you'll know that Poison-types are now represented as Psychic-types in the TCG due to the ridiculous abundance of Grass-types. [[User:Cipher|Cipher]] 17:01, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

:He's right.  I play the TCG competitively, and there are about as many Psychic Poison types as Grass Poison types.  --[[User:Politoed666|<span style="color:#30D5C8">ニョロトノ</span>]][[User talk:Politoed666|<span style="color:#FF69B4">''666''</span>]] 20:53, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

== I don't understand... ==

I don't understand why the Bulbapedia admins consider anime gun-jumps as something wrong and evil which should be eradicated, while game gun-jumps and leaks are perfectly okay and acceptable. I don't see the difference between the two. You simply have some kind of an obsession, I believe. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 17:28, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

:It's because anime stuff falls under an "until it airs" policy.  It's possible that a detail could be revealed, highly popularized, and then later revealed to be wrong.

:Enforcment of "until it airs" was stepped up after an event largely referred to nowadays as the [[Bulbapedia:James/Gardenia poll|Cacnea debacle]].  It was started by {{u|Shiny Noctowl}} after what was a then-routine plot-spoiling of events from [[DP053]] and [[DP054]].  Shiny Noctowl then proceeded to move the [[James's Cacnea]] article to "Gardenia's Cacnea", citing "James no longer has a Cacnea, we shouldn't have an article about something that doesn't exist" and giving bullsh{{tt|*|i}}t points to try to defend that angle.  Negativity ensued, and a poll was waged.  The poll heavily favored a move back (the article was later moved back), but Shiny Noctowl was determined to tip the scales by any means necessary; first by adding bullsh{{tt|*|i}}t weighting garbage, then by messing with the evidence, and even claiming that "consensus" meant that "everyone agrees" and since that not everyone agreed, it wasn't consensus.

:During that same timeframe, [[Ash's Chimchar]] suffered a minor incident also related to the plot-spoiling, when a vandal erased the page's content over and over, claiming the entire page was false.  However, this incident was far more minor compared to the larger Cacnea debacle.

:The Cacnea debacle was so big that the plot-spoiling practice was ended once and for all after the debacle broke out.  The "until it airs" policy was stepped up starting with [[DP055]] and has remained stepped up since.  --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 17:43, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

::::A long long time ago, about the end of march, a new signature policy came out and all the templates we were using were no longer allowed. We had to go to every talk page (User talk, talk, Shipping talk, etc) we ever commented on since making the templates, and "subst" them. (For a small example, go [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3AMAGNEDETH%2FArchive2&diff=330169&oldid=311290 here], many other pages were bigger than this. I did all 93 of mine, 540 of Tina's and I started TTE's. Shiningpikablu came in and did so many more users. Whenever he found a template, he did it. There was no stopping him! He did so much that TTE decided to give him the Golden Bulbasaur Award for hel;ping relieve server stress. And we all lived happily ever after, til that damn server crash at the end of May.

::::::The fact that people were changing their signature templates created a greater amount of server stress than removing the templates themselves. Whenever someone changed it, the server had to go to every talk page the user ever put the template on, and change it itself.

:That depends.  It's entirely possible that the site in question isn't notable enough for its own article no matter how detailed such an article is.

:If the site was only recently created (i.e. the site's only a week old or so), odds are it will be considered non-notable whether an article is one sentence or a hundred.

:Additionally, if an article appears to be basically nothing but advertising a fansite, odds are the article gets trashed.  Bulbapedia is not an ad agency for fansites.  --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 14:47, 18 October 2008 (UTC)

== Stormfront cards ==

Here's a thought...for the first time in weeks, I have no homework or coursework or ''any'' other studies to do tonight. I also have tomorrow morning off. If I maybe used PokéBeach's IFDS translations to draft up card pages in NotePad, save the pages as .txt files and then modify those drafts as necessary (e.g. card numbers, attack text etc.) the next time cards get revealed, I could get pages up thick and fast tomorrow morning.

Last night I got very few articles done, only seven or eight, two or three of which I've been able to use today. So what I'm gonna do today is get as many done as possible and upload Japanese card images for the set, then I can hopefully get a lot put straight up tomorrow.

You think it's OK to direct userspace abusers to the fanon wikia? --[[User:Martonimos|((<font color="#008000">Marton</font>]] [[User talk:Martonimos|<font color="#50C878">imos</font>))]] 00:42, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

:Actually, the person I had just dealt with was not a userspace abuser.  That user had created a page about a fanon move in the main namespace.

:Anyway, if a user does get hit with the "abuse" tag and is known for writing a lot of fanon in their userspace, I'd go ahead and recommend the fanon wiki.  However, check the userspace edits before recommending the fanon wiki; if the user doesn't primarily edit about fanon in their userspace, don't recommend the fanon wiki.  --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 00:45, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
::I apologize; "userspace abuser" was not the term I was looking for. I meant people who load up their subpages with fanon, or write it in the main space. I asked you because when I brought it up with TTE, he was somewhat non-committal in his answer, but if you're doing it, then maybe it's a good idea after all. --[[User:Martonimos|((<font color="#008000">Marton</font>]] [[User talk:Martonimos|<font color="#50C878">imos</font>))]] 00:48, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

::Yes, a card can still be considered a reprint if it lacks the level.  {{TCG ID|Base Set|Pikachu|58}} from the {{TCG|Base Set}} was legally usable while {{TCG|POP Series 2}} was {{TCG|Modified format|Modified-legal}} despite the POP 2 reprinted Pikachu not having the level, as every necessary element to get deemed a reprint (HP, attack costs, attack effects or similar rewords/tweaks, Weakness, Resistance, Retreat Cost) was present on the POP 2 version of the card.  The reprinted Pokémon Web cards fall into this situation.

::Now, there are some situations where missing or altered elements results in two very similar cards be considered different from each other.  The reason {{TCG ID|EX Team Rocket Returns|Dratini|52}} 52 from {{TCG|EX Team Rocket Returns}} is ''not'' considered a reprint of the {{TCG ID|Base Set|Dratini|26}} from the Base Set is because the former has no Resistance, while the latter has a {{e|Psychic}} Resistance.  The difference in Resistance makes the difference in making them different cards, similar to how attack costs kept {{TCG ID|POP Series 4|Pikachu|13}} from {{TCG|POP Series 4}} from being a reprint of the {{TCG|Jungle}} {{TCG ID|Jungle|Pikachu|60}}.  --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 17:10, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

== Unown W (Neo Destiny 29) ==

Maverick told me to talk to you, so I just want to state that the Template:tt shouldn't be needed for the Pokemon Power as Unown [W] could be in battle, not necessarily on the bench.

:There's a few other Unown cards, both in the Neo series and the Diamond/Pearl series, that are like that.  It can be assumed that the card the power is printed on references itself when its letter comes up (i.e. Unown [W] referencing Unown [W] in its power); if an Unown power specifically states that all of a certain combination must be Benched in order for the power to work, odds are the text referencing its own letter is indeed a self-reference.  Self-references are not limited to Active Pokémon, never have been, never will be.  In closing:  It's a self-reference, the usage of TT is indeed correct.  --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 04:37, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

== Piplup ==

Why can't we just add Piplup to the roster?  It's been in every episode since DP060.  Also it has an [[Surely Tomorrow|ending]] dedicated to it. You say that DP087 proves your point. However, it did appear in the beginning. Just that it went back in its PokéBall for the rest of the episode. I say we should mark it as confirmed in every episode until it is absent one more time. Then I will drop this whole thing. But since it appeared in every episode this year, I say give it a chance. --[[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>]] 22:39, 27 November 2008 (UTC)

:I'm sorry, but I'm with {{u|Missingno. Master}} on this one.  There's no proof that Piplup's going to be appearing in any episode with just a title.  None at all.  Trends mean nothing in Piplup's case; it's got a Poké Ball and has never shown that it doesn't like being inside it, so it could just as easily spend an entire episode in its Poké Ball as it could out of it.  If we were to liken Piplup to any other common-appearance Pokémon, it would be to [[Jessie's Wobbuffet]], not [[Misty's Togepi]].

:Besides, listing Piplup in the roster by default is bound to cause problems.  The general consensus about Piplup's default roster status is that it should ''not'' be listed by default; there is no evidence to suggest otherwise.  --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 22:45, 27 November 2008 (UTC)

::There's no evidence that the other characters will be there. So why are they okay? ''Crecelia vs Darkrai'' doesn't indicate that Team Rocket will be in it. What if all of a sudden they decide to make Team Rocket not appear for one episode?  I don't categorize Piplup the same as Wobbuffet. For one, Wobbuffet will show up for like 5 episodes and then be absent in the sixth. Piplup has gone for 44 episodes straight. It disserves a chance. Especially given the ending.  I doubt there going to make it absent after that. If it's gone again, we can remove it. --[[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>]] 03:44, 28 November 2008 (UTC)

::::I'm sorry, but we're going to need super-hard evidence to put Piplup on the default roster--and even then Wobbuffet'll show up along with it.  By super-hard evidence, I'm talking blatant refusal to go into its Poké Ball in a normal mood, or the Poké Ball being broken and Dawn refuses to have it fixed.  Odds are far greater that Piplup evolves in [[DP104]] and rots in its Poké Ball for all of [[DP105]] than either of those things happening.  If consensus says Piplup doesn't deserve a space on the default, then Piplup doesn't go on the default.  Too much more of these disagreements about Piplup's status and I'll have to have a higher authority step in.  The humans are listed as default since they can't go into Poké Balls.  Pikachu's listed as default since it blatantly refuses to go into one even on the best of days.  Meowth's listed as default since we don't even know if it's ever been in a Poké Ball.  Had Bulbapedia and its current standards existed during the earlier run, Togepi would have been listed as default since it never went into a Poké Ball.  Piplup's not like that--there's ALWAYS the possibility it won't appear, and it should NEVER be assumed that it will when there's a chance it won't.  --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 04:33, 28 November 2008 (UTC)

:Messing with Kanji. The episode titles have kanji in them. Kanji can be written out in hiragana(or in some cases katakana). If you are going to do a mass redirect, you should make two redirects, one of the title and one of the spelled out kanji. This is all assuming that you can read the kanji. I'm not trying to be a jerk, but it seems really, really, stupid. And the Pokémon redirects. Those were also a stupid idea, but Pokémon are the base of the franchise. Pokémon exist in every form of Pokémon media. The anime is a section of the franchise, not ''the'' franchise. If you remember, I was ''also'' opposed to the three day long project that was the Pokémon redirects. Again, editing for the sake of editing. --[[User:RexRacer|'''<font color="#E7CE6B">Rex</font>]][[Quilava (Pokémon)|<font color="#42528C">Racer</font>''']] [[User talk:RexRacer|'''<font color="#FF5A00"><small>''-talk''</small></font>''']] 16:09, 7 December 2008 (UTC)
::Oh, I see. Kanji are the italicized words in the parentheses showing the translations of the titles back from Japanese, or along those lines. Yes, I agree with you about the Pokémon redirects being solely for edit boosting, and being useless since the Japanese titles would have to be copied and pasted into the search box in order to be used anyway. But my point was for this that if that was done, then the episode titles dort of '''have''' to be. If you do one, the other one does too, regardless of its importance. I only wish they hadn't started it in the first place. [[User:Bulbapedian|Bulbapedian]] - [[User talk:Bulbapedian|Talk]] 16:17, 7 December 2008 (UTC)
:::No... Kanji are a form of calligraphy, similer to hiragana and katakana. For example, 田 means "ta" in kanji. It means "rice paddy field", but is often included in names, such as "Tanaka". 中 means "chū" in kanji. It can mean many things, most often it means "middle". 国 means "goku", used to talk about countries. Now, if you want to get complex, 田 "ta" and 中 "chū", when used next to each other, make 田中, the kanji spelling of the name "Tanaka". When 中 is used in a different context, it makes "naka". Finally, 中国 means China. Chūgoku is also a region in Japan, literally "middle country". As you can see, even three of the simplest kanji are extremely complex things to deal with.
