Please use the link templates so as to not type so much. A list of them and their uses can be found at shortlinks... in fact, I just used two of them! TTEchidna 13:12, 20 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

Your sig

I know it's probably been a while since your last visit, but Bulbapedia no longer allows images in signatures. I think it's bandwith issues or something. It's all in here: Signature policy. --ケンジガール 20:52, 7 September 2009 (UTC)Reply

Dr. Footstep ratings

Chikorita goes to Cute w/prints, Slowking to Slow w/prints, Kingdra to Tough w/o prints, Scizor to Tough w/prints and Dusknoir to Scary w/o prints. UltimateSephiroth (about me · chat · edits) 12:19, 1 October 2009 (UTC)Reply

Would it be possible if only slightly inconvenient to test all the alternate forms (Unown, Deoxys, Burmy, Wormadam, Shellos, Gastrodon, Rotom, Giratina, Shaymin, and Arceus.--MisterE13 01:22, 21 October 2009 (UTC)Reply
Giratina-A is tough with footprints and Giratina-O is tough without footprints. Shaymin, Burmy, Wormadam, Shellos, Gastrodon and Rotom all stay the same. Myles (talk - contrib) 02:20, 21 October 2009 (UTC)Reply
I just added Quilava and the Dr. Footstep list appears to be complete. --Swampertrox (bleh) 22:56, 22 October 2009 (UTC)Reply
Fantastic! Thanks for your help, everyone. Bikini Miltank 23:01, 22 October 2009 (UTC)Reply
I can help with Deoxys' forms. Turtwig A Contributions Talk 23:02, 22 October 2009 (UTC)Reply
I'm guessing that they would all be the same, but I'd be grateful if you could double-check it. Bikini Miltank 23:04, 22 October 2009 (UTC)Reply
I'll check Rotom and Shaymin as soon as I have a chance, they would be most likely to differ in my opinion. --Swampertrox (bleh) 23:19, 22 October 2009 (UTC)Reply
All of Deoxys' forms are the same. That leaves Unown and Arceus as the ones who haven't been checked yet. Turtwig A Contributions Talk 23:25, 22 October 2009 (UTC)Reply
All Rotom and Shaymin formes are the same. --Swampertrox (bleh) 12:00, 24 October 2009 (UTC)Reply
At least Unown R is silent. Don't know about the rest. Orange 05:52, 16 November 2009 (UTC)Reply

Wanted pages

Numbers 991 to 994 on the Wanted pages are caused by you and your templates. They must be removed from your templates, because they aren't something that should be created. MaverickNate 14:21, 11 August 2010 (UTC)Reply

That's odd... I can't figure out how those links are being generated. I'll have a closer look once I'm back home. Bikini Miltank 14:29, 11 August 2010 (UTC)Reply
Ah, bollocks. It seems to be coming from the prevoMS template, which uses #ifexist. There's apparently a bug with #ifexist that causes entries to appear in Wanted Pages. This kind of stuff is a bit beyond me, but I'll track down SnorlaxMonster and find a workaround for this problem. Bikini Miltank 15:22, 11 August 2010 (UTC)Reply

Kanto Grass

Just so you know the reason why I put in the (k) coding was that it said so here.-Tyler53841 18:51, 22 August 2010 (UTC)Reply

Also a problem I encountered last night is that the percentage must be placed in all three areas for it to work. The (all=) coding will not change the picture coding. -Tyler53841 18:55, 22 August 2010 (UTC)Reply
Thanks, I'll finish off Hoenn and then handle the Sevii Islands before moving on to Sinnoh. -Tyler53841 19:07, 22 August 2010 (UTC)Reply

Got the code from TTEchidna on the forums through a private message. Enter (11=k) and it will work for all the Generation II templates that need this. -Tyler53841 04:46, 23 August 2010 (UTC)Reply

Just to let you know I finished Sinnoh today on the template upgrades, so only Kanto and Johto are left. Thanks for the help and I am glad I was able to give you some assistance. -Tyler53841 05:48, 28 August 2010 (UTC)Reply

Movelists

I've noticed that when you update them, you tend to be changing the correct spelling of moves, such as Sand-Attack to Sand-attack, and SonicBoom to Sonicboom, as well as setting the power of moves like Spit Up to 1 instead of —. Here is an example. Is there any particular reason that you are doing this? --SnorlaxMonster 08:31, 18 September 2010 (UTC)Reply

New Move Attack Powers

Care to update it on here so that others know the full extent of the changes? Thanks. ht14 03:43, 23 September 2010 (UTC)Reply

Congratulations, Mister Miltank. You slaved your butt off for us when BW came out, and in return we give you this sparkly dinosaur. Write an origin article about him next? —darklordtrom 08:01, 14 November 2010 (UTC)Reply

Prior evolution learnsets

I noticed this when looking at Poliwrath's. Wouldn't you be able to get a Generation II Poliwrath to know Amnesia by trading forward the Poliwag from Generation I that is listed here? Same goes for trading back a Poliwag that knows Growth, Kiss, and Body Slam to the Generation I games. Then, your generation I Poliwrath could know these.* MaverickNate 17:03, 21 February 2011 (UTC)Reply

You're quite right, this is indeed possible. This kind of cross-gen trading famously allowed you to get a Poliwrath with both Mind Reader and Fissure, for example. While I'm not going to the extent of listing all of this in a single table, the new tables do simplify the process of planning cross-generational movesets somewhat: if you're on Poliwrath's Gen II page, you're now just one click away from knowing it can have Amnesia legally, whereas previously you'd need to go back to Gen I, [i]then[/i] check it's prevos individually.
We did briefly consider including cross-generational moves in the tables, but came to the conclusion that that's what the links in the top right corner of each table are for. Bikini Miltank 17:14, 21 February 2011 (UTC)Reply
