Previewing edits

Utilize the "Preview" key prior to saving a page. This allows you to check your revisions. The edit you made to Red (game) left a bunch of red links that could have been easily fixed to go to the appropriate page. Also, Pokémon is spelled with the é. Thanks! --rockersk08 21:09, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

Doko-Kashira Door glitch

What is it? Can you write an article about it? --SnorlaxMonster 10:33, 17 February 2010 (UTC)

Done see link in title --Chickasaurus 12:07, 17 February 2010 (UTC)

It is basically an old glitch which only existed within Pokémon Green, I think the Japanese website Pokemonbug.oh.land.to were the first to document it and one of their users Giginet uploaded a video about it here [1]. It is a speed-runner glitch that several people have performed in order to complete Pokémon Green in about 5 minutes by altering a door warp to access the Hall of Fame early on.

This is how it works:

1. In Pokémon Green there was an extra feature, as well as the player being able to switch around Pokémon he or she could also switch around items, the oversight however was that if the player pressed select and went to the Pokémon screen he or she would arguably be able to "switch an item with a Pokémon".
2. Pokémon past the sixth slot (or the amount of Pokémon the player actually has) when called will refer to other data in the game such as what kinds of items the player has, the location the player is and so on. (This is kind of like how the Super Glitch moves works, the Super Glitch moves actually correspond to other in-game data, so if you use up its PP it can have strange effects in the game)
3. So, when you 'switch an item with a Pokémon' you are essentially switching around data past the sixth slot (or in the Doko-Kashira Door glitch the first slot because it is ideal to only have one Pokémon)
4. By adding data concerning Oak's Parcel to the database the player can ensure that the next door that he or she walks through corresponds to a relative number of steps.

I did make a step by step method, here it is:

1. The player should firstly start a New Game.
2. The player should withdraw a Potion from the PC, so that he or she has one item.
3. Walk out of the door and procede into the tall grass, wait until Professor Oak takes you into his lab.
4. Choose any starter Pokémon
5. After Gary chooses his Pokémon, attempt to leave Professor Oak's lab.
6. Either defeat or lose to Gary and then procede out of the lab and through the grass on the way to Pewter Town.
7. Procede to the Pokémart (known as 'SHOP' in Pokémon Green) and recieve Oak's Parcel.
8. The player should procede back to Pallet Town but ensure that he or she enters a wild Pokémon battle on the way.
9. Move to the Items option and use the Select button on Oak's Parcel.
10. Select 'Cancel' and then select 'PKMN'.
11. The cursor should still be white, choose Bulbasaur to switch it with Oak's Parcel.
12. Check Bulbasaur's moves on the 'Fight' screen, to check that the game has not altered any undesirable bytes.
13. If Bulbasaur's moves have not been changed run from the Pokémon battle and then walk exactly 73 steps, landing the last step in Gary's house in Pallet Town.
14. The player should be near the house where HM02 Fly is normally obtainable, walk another 5 steps to the right and the move down so that it looks like the player is attempting to move through the house's ceiling, it is the spot one step north of its right hand corner.
15. The player should appear in the northern section of the Cycling Road House, walk 9 steps and aim the last step to be through the exit to the north-east corner.
16. Walk an extra 45 steps eastwards aim the last step to be through the double doors of Celadon Department Store (the door to the right.)
17. The player should now be in a glitched version of the Hall of Fame room.

Note that if performed incorrectly or later on in the game this glitch can have very different effects because it is essentially like 'switching data'. --Chickasaurus 11:06, 17 February 2010 (UTC)

BTW, I'm SnorlaxMonster, not Master (however I have considered changing my name to that before). --SnorlaxMonster 07:12, 22 February 2010 (UTC)

Oh, sorry about that well you can call me Trickersaurus now if you want :P --Chickasaurus 12:14, 28 February 2010 (UTC)

Is this accurate?

TMTRAINER effect

I'm sure I pretty much nailed it this time with making a new article and all? OwnageMuch 06:28, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

Pretty good, I'll just add a little more about the techncial information. --Chickasaurus 10:08, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

Just a little thing

That comment you posted on the Marowak (literal ghost) page? While completely true, you might want to note in future that reviving dead conversations on talk pages here, not allowed. That conversation hadn't been touched since Groundhog Day, and it is now May 21st, so yeah. Just thought I'd let you know. - unsigned comment from Missingno.

Thanks, I'll make note of that. --Chickasaurus 17:48, 21 May 2010 (UTC)

Game names

The remakes use CamelCase. HeartGold. FireRed. Not Heartgold and Firered. Also, the {{g}} template should only be used for non-main-series games, like Pokémon Colosseum and Pokémon Ranger: Locus of Light. Main series games use the {{game}}, {{game2}}, {{game3}}, and {{game5}} templates. So remember. Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, not Pokémon Heartgold and Soulsilver.

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 Changes button... Please try it out, so as not to clog up the Recent Changes. Thanks! --—♥ Jello^talk 17:00, 8 September 2010 (UTC)

Thanks; I usually check the Preview button 1-2 times, although I should really be checking it more. --Chickasaurus 17:28, 8 September 2010 (UTC)
