Can we keep this until August? Maybe all summer? Don't make me archive this so soon...

==Concern==
Should we have the trainers on the Route pages have more information like giving the Pokémon the moves they use? Or would it be bad?
Pros:
*Gives people more information
*Completes the Route more
Cons:
*Tables slow the server
*Makes Bulbapedia more like a guide.
Should I find the moves of the Pokémon and such or leave it be? [[User:Pyles|Pyles]] 19:00, 1 June 2009 (UTC)
:No, there's no need for ''every'' Trainer in every article that includes Trainers to have the moves known by their Pokémon. The major Trainers only should have that displayed, since they're like boss battles. You don't include information on every attack from the little enemies in other games every place they appear, and so likewise, you don't for the non-major Trainers. Rivals, Gym Leaders, Elite Four, Frontier Brains, Champions, and evil team major members get that. Basically, any Trainer that has a battle and overworld sprite specific to themselves.

== Hmm... ==

So for the new party templates, which should we use for Silver? I’m probably gonna use the SoulSilver like his old templates are silver, but I want your opinion on it. They currently, without the updated sprites and everything, look like this:

{{PartyHeader|color={{HeartGold color}}|sprite=Silver_Sprite_GS.gif|prize={{pdollar}}[[Pokémon Dollar|????]]|class=[[Rival]]|name=Silver|game={{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}|location=[[Cherrygrove City]]}}{{PartyBody21|color={{HeartGold color}}|sprite1=Spr 2g 155.png|p1=Cyndaquil|gender1=♂|level1=5|types1=1|type11=Fire|p1m1=Tackle|p1m1t=Normal|p1m2=Leer|p1m2t=Normal|item1=None}}

{{PartyFooter|color={{SoulSilver color}}}}

I’m currently working with them to see what they would all look like. I'll also need to know what color should be used for the gym leaders and E4.

== Infobox hack requests ==

I know that I'm asking for updates on two infoboxes for a Pokémon product that has just been discontinued, but trust me, I know you wouldn't intentionally leave an infobox behind in getting update treatment.  The infoboxes in question are {{template|TFG Figure Infobox}} and {{template|TFG Card Infobox}}.  I tried hacking them into the newer style myself, but found it too complicated.

== Editing ==

So I know that we have limits for how much we can edit userpages and subpages, so I've tried to keep my edits low in my <span class="plainlinks">[http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/User:Rocket_Admin_Hunter_Blade/Sandbox box of sand.]</span> What I want to know is: 
*How much, since I'm readying the templates for HGSS, I can edit it per day. I've kept it below the borderline of 4 so far, but I've needed to get off and on frequently, and I'm trying to get these done {{tt|ASAP|I'll be gone for a month and a half without a computer to work on and won't get back till mid or late August}} so I have time to do the party templates for other pages.
*Would it be possible for me to make as many edits as I needed to if I move the templates to a specific page for only them?
*Could you eventually lock all of the GenII Kanto and the Johto gym leaders' pages, along with Silver's and the E4/Lance's pages so that people don't try to add crappy templates and mess up the coding already there?

== Berry Locations ==

A looooong time back (December, 2007) you made a large group of edits to different pages about berries. You did a lot of reformatting, organized it more, and added some new info. Among the places to obtain the berries (under Gen. III) you put the pickup ability for a lot - if not all - of them. You put Emerald and FR/LG for a lot. However, there are absolutely no berries that can obtained this way in Emerald; you must have been confused. Just wanted to let you know about this little mistake.

== Game character naming policy ==

I understand the naming issues with chracters (across game, anime and manga etc.) and was writting up a local list myself to consolidate the links between each for quicker reference.

I realised there wasn't really a set explanation of a consistant method for game character naming used on Bulbapedia. I also checked for a policy on this and was suprised to not see one.

Looking over the talk pages, i see mention of different methods such as default names and/or [[Talk:Leaf_(game)|hidden data trainers]] that have been used to name the game characters over the generations. This seems rather inconsistant and without much public explanation for review and confirmation.

I'm unsure as to where a specific default name is obtained, especially in cases where the default name is not in the list of default names on the game (namely brendan, may, lucas and dawn). It was hinted it was by not entering a name (for player/rival), but the player list picks one at random, where as the rival is the first name on the list. Both lists differ by version though, so it's not possible to use those lists for naming of the characters (Tested with Fire Red only tbh).
The lack of recording these '''hidden''' default names in the articles makes the names seem like unfoudned claimes and lacking citation.

I propose these names be recorded with some note on how they're obtained in the MoS or something. It would be a great help and any explanation is appericiated.

:Most of it can be checked on the specific talk pages. We shouldn't need to put an explanation on every danged article about where we got the names, most especially since they're well known. The main problem that comes up is when fans come up with "LOL WHY LEEF WHY NOT GREEN *move move move*" No one just accepts that despite being a fansite we do check stuff over before naming things.

::The problem is in most cases the information isn't on the talk pages. I'm not asking for an explanation on every page, just an explanation in the MoS or policies.

::You say they're well known, when the only evidence i see for that is the bulbapedia articles themselves who have made them well known. I'm not trying to suggest you're putting up false information either, but i am saying that the methods you've chosen for naming appear to be arbitrary without any evidence to show how the names are chosen (as well as the the differing methods).
::The nature of a wiki generally doesn't allow something like that, so i'm shocked this is considered an exception. It makes it near impossible to use your naming in any legitmate work without the explanations as there's no way to confirm the research, which is where i'm having trouble.

::If anything Leaf is the one i find easiest to believe, as it's roughly explained. It's pretty much all the others i'm having issues with.
::I can only guess it started out with the first name on the default list for players from first version (Red, Gold) is chosen for the male player character and the same for the rival list (as it's always the opposite), resulting the the third always the female, which seems fitting for back then. But starting with RSE, the names you've chosen aren't even in the default name lists and without explanation, so those names are seemingly pulled out of thin air without explanation or a reference to where they're from.

::::::Not "exactly". He's not a character with a customisable name. The "official" game names are nothing more than fans using various methods to determine what they think their intended names are until an official one is given elsewhere (and for my purposes, i need to seperate incarnation where they are different). The fact that a set name actually being given is a rarity for these characters is why when names are actually given, it should be noted as such. The anime characters are not even the same, so no point trying to use that as a source even if the given names do end up matching.

::::::It would seem you're still not getting the fact that "because we say so" is not good enough. It's expected of an encyclopedic wiki to provide references and explanation for others to refer to and research themselves. When something is arbitrary but needs to be set for the purpose of the wiki (fan info due to lack of official), that usually falls into the realm of policy to set the precedent for people to follow and/or make note of the variation. It's something i've delt with extensively on WoWWiki, yet Bulbapedia does nethier right now. If you feel that's not the job of the wiki, then nevermind, as i must be banging my head against the wall.

==Usernames==
I was wondering if I could create a few other accounts with usernames by which I am popularly known on other wikis/Pokémon sites? Not for use in editing, but to minimize the chance of being impersonated. The reason I’m asking beforehand is because I saw a rash of account creation by vandals a week or so back and I don’t want to be accused of attempting sockpuppetry. If allowed to create them, I have no intention of editing from the other accounts.<br>
Also, I was thinking of outright changing my username, and I’m told that the way to do so is by asking you... {{tt|I haven’t picked yet|I expect you don’t really care one way or the other, but if you do, the advice is welcome. Leading candidates include LaprasBoi, my most common name on Pokémon sites, & WikidPoké, a combination of my Pokémon and “Wikid”, a prefix I often use for wiki usernames, derived from “wiki” and the local( Boston) slang “wicked”. WikidLaprasBoi covers both, but seems kind of long... I just don’t know.}}, but I wanted to check and see if this is indeed the proper procedure? --LaprasBoi 21:10, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

Furthermore, the north and south hemispheres have the seasons at different times. Why do we have Snow-cloud in the middle of Summer, Rainy in Fall, Normal in spring, and Sunny in Winter?

Hey, sometime when I edit pages, a dotted box appears where I edit and it is confusing.  Do you know what it means?  An answer is greatly appreciated. Thanks...[[User:Dry Bones|DB]] 01:16, 14 July 2009 (UTC)
 You mean this kind of box?

:That'd be because you're putting a space before a line. Don't indent. Or you might be improperly calling a template... causing it to glitch... something like that. If you mean on your userpage, that's definitely caused by spacing out lines at the beginning.

== Question ==

Why did you deleted the maps of the locations of Johto? [[User:Mario136|Mario136]] 03:08, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
:Because. They were of the ''towns where the locations were'', rather than the locations themselves. The entirety of Ecruteak was highlighted for both Tin and Brass Towers. Don't worry. When HGSS comes out, the maps will be done. There's no urgency.

Oh, ok i only was wondering, that map is really cool, you are the best! [[User:Mario136|Mario136]] 05:08, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
:The Johto map is very interesting, but at this point I think it's still too early to implement it into the route pages... Especially considering that there might be two different styles of it, like there was for Sinnoh's map in DPPt and Kanto's in FRLG. The Pokédex distribution map might be a better fit (considering the new Johto map doesn't fit with the previous maps at all, what with those blobs they call cities)...

:The forum server seems to be working fine from this end. If you mean the server that Bulbapedia itself is on, yes, that's been running slow as of late, and its 503 errors are due to it trying to pass off your session to the other server (which the forums, Archives, and News are on) and then it doesn't work because you don't have a session on the other server.

:"You" is bad in most contexts. In the walkthroughs, it's ''okay'', but I personally hate it appearing anywhere on the wiki. '''[[User:TTEchidna|<span style="color:#DAA520">''TTE''</span>]][[User talk:TTEchidna|<span style="color:#C0C0C0">chidna</span>]]''' 04:36, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

== None, really ==

Hi, let me start with an introduction, as you seem to be the go-to guy around here... I joined bulbapedia yesterday, though my brother used to be a member. I made an account in the hope that I could aid you all in completing the Pokémon encyclopaedia, but alas, I have not yet found anything that I can make, or correct as apparently everyone else here knows about Pokémon in much more depth than I do... (I just play the games a hell of a lot!) :P But, anyway, I just wanted to ask if there were any particular or specific things I should be doing to help you (that i am able to do, of course) ^.^ thanks, 

Dragon Master
:You'll find something, believe me. There's a lot of anime episodes that could use synopses. '''[[User:TTEchidna|<span style="color:#DAA520">''TTE''</span>]][[User talk:TTEchidna|<span style="color:#C0C0C0">chidna</span>]]''' 09:16, 2 August 2009 (UTC)



== Reversion ==
Hello. I just wanted to ask why my contributions to the [[Pokémon Controversy]] page were all reverted. All I did was label anti-Semitic accusations in Saudi Arabia concerning Pokemon as 'anti-Semitic' (which is accurate) and comment that since Satoshi Tajiri took 6 years to make the first Pocket Monsters games, [[Rougela]]'s design would have predated Ganguro Fashion, as pointed out by Dogasu. (which is also accurate) Why were the edits I made ALL removed? I hope this doesn't come off sounding like a complaint/demand/rant; I'm just curious as to why everything I put down, although perfectly accurate, was reverted. --[[User talk:Kamikarasu|Kamikarasu]] 09:32, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
