Welcome

Welcome to Bulbapedia, Rocket Admin Hunter Blade!

As a new user, you may wish to learn a few things that will be useful in your editing:

• For a basic overview of wiki code, see this page.
• Read over the style primer before making your edits. It is a basic outline of Bulbapedia style. For a more in-depth set of rules, see the manual of style.
• Keep an eye on the Messages from the Editor on the main page, to stay informed on current events on Bulbapedia.
• The word Pokémon is spelled with a capital P and an accented é. The é can be accessed by holding Alt and typing either 130 or 0233 on a Windows computer, and by using Option + e, then e again on a Mac. Otherwise, you can easily click it in the character palette below the editbox.
• The word Poké Ball is spelled as two words. The "Poké" part is identical to the four beginning letters in "Pokémon"; "Ball" is spelled with a capital B. The spelling "Pokéball" arises frequently, but is incorrect.
• The word "you" and all forms of it should not be used on encyclopedic pages unless it is a quote from Pokémon or other media. Bulbapedia is an encyclopedia, not a walkthrough.
• On talk pages, please sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).
• The use of link templates is official policy.
• If you happen to spot a vandal in the recent changes that has not been dealt with, please see this page for how to deal with it.
• A list of pages that are linked to, but have not been created, can be found at this page. A list of short articles that may require more information can be found here, while a list of articles that need improvement can be found here.
• For a future capture, release, trade, or evolution of a Pokémon belonging to a main character of the anime, please do not create or move the page to reflect your suspicions, even if they are shared by many others. Policy here is to wait until the episode in which the event happens takes place is aired, unless there is substantial evidence for the suspicion (such as Brock's Happiny being held in his arms).
• Image uploading is done on Bulbagarden Archives, a separate wiki accessible through the toolbox in the sidebar. This is done so that both Bulbapedia and Bulbanews have access to the images uploaded. To activate your account at the Archives and Bulbanews, please login there using the same username and password you use here on Bulbapedia.
• If you want to make a page about a character you made up, please create it at User:Rocket Admin Hunter Blade/(name), not merely (name). Bulbapedia's main namespace is reserved for actual, official Pokémon, items, characters, and locations. Also, please try to make sure that subpages are not categorized by templates used within.
• Having said this, please make sure that you do contribute adequately to the main namespace. Bulbapedia is not MySpace or Facebook.
• A list of the admins that you can contact in case of a problem can be found here.

Thank you, and have a good time editing here! --Shiningpikablu252 15:02, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

Please

Slow down on editing the User: namespace. Editing your userpage too much will lead to it being locked again. Instead of making multiple small edits, why not instead use the preview button (Alt + Shift + P) to check your edits before saving the page? Thank you. --^Psychic_Rider^☮ 20:59, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

Link templates

I don't know whether or not you've done this on any main pages, but on talk pages, you tend to link to Pokémon like [[Ho-Oh]] or [[Lugia]]. While that's technically OK on talk pages, you should get into the habit of {{p}} to link to Pokémon like {{p|Ho-Oh}} or {{p|Lugia}}. For more information, see the list of link templates. --((Marton imos)) 00:18, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

Contest Tag

A usertag you have been using, {{User Five Masters Ribbons}}, has been moved to a new location due to a split in the usertag between the Contests of Generation III and Super Contests of Generation IV. Your tag has been switched to that template's new location, {{User Contest Master}}. If you have only mastered the Super Contests, please change the tag to {{User Super Contest Master}}. If you hav emastered both, go ahead and add both. --tc26 14:52, 24 October 2008 (UTC)

No hard feelings

Hey, don't worry about it. No hard feelings. We have a difference of opinion, and we care about the work we put into this site. Emotions aren't a bad thing. -- evkl _{(need to talk?)} 23:23, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

Thanks. I just felt really bad about it after I got off last night. R.A. Hunter B. 23:25, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

Sorry

I tried to find a way to keep the nicknames, but I wasn't able to: unless you want a huge mess of coding on your page, then we can do it. ^Maverick_Nate 21:29, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

Eh, that's fine. It's not really that important to me. I just actually named some Pokémon for once. Thanks though. R.A. Hunter B. 21:39, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

Your team Templates

Is there a way to remove the part showing their levels? Or could you put a link to the page? Thanks. Diachronos 17:32, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

Link, meaning? R.A. Hunter B. 19:00, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

Link to the page where you found them. Don't worry about it, I figured out how to work the template. Diachronos 15:57, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

Oh. That. Ok. Glad you found it. R.A. Hunter B. 21:04, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

Is there any reason

why in the discussion page of Heart Gold and Soul Silver, my post got deleted? It is legitamite, and it's not even on the actual article. unsigned comment from Spongye west (Talk | contribs)

First of all, sign your comments. Second, it's not legitimate. Third, it was already taken off by somebody with more power than me, and if they take it off, definitely don't put it back on. It starts something called an edit war. R.A. Hunter Blade 18:29, 10 May 2009 (UTC)

And now that you're blocked, I'm talking to nobody. R.A. Hunter Blade 18:32, 10 May 2009 (UTC)

Hey

If you were right about the comment in your revert, then my 4th grade english teacher is a liar.

*runs away crying* ☆X-Knight☆511♂ 23:25, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

They probably are. Although I knew what it meant already, I looked it up in a few places just to make sure. R.A. Hunter Blade 23:27, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

I don't see how Beldum is based off of a dumbell. Do you have any pictures of odd-looking ones? I remember having to look up a sport just to find out what the heck that thing was that Kirby transformed into when he got stone and ice (actually I saw it on an episode of Family Matters lol), sooo... ☆X-Knight☆511♂ 23:32, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

I don't see how a hulking metal being with a supercomputer for a mind that can levitate and blow things up named Metagross is based off of a spider. What's your point? A crab I can understand because of it's shell, but not a spider. We already have two of them. R.A. Hunter Blade 23:41, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

Metagross even so still looks nothing like a crab, and I was asking how Beldum looks like a dumbell. Srslywtf ☆X-Knight☆511♂ 23:45, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

And I was asking what you're point is. What would YOU say Beldum is based off of then? R.A. Hunter Blade 23:50, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

Roughly, I'd say he was based off of your face. Seriously man, does Beldum REALLY look like a dumbbell to you? Think on it for a while... then get back to me. ☆X-Knight☆511♂ 23:55, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

I have a question for you: CAN YOU PLEASE STAY THE CRAP OFF OF MY TALK PAGE? GO HERE IF YOU REALLY CARE THAT MUCH ABOUT IT. That is all. R.A. Hunter Blade 23:59, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

FYI. — THE TROM — 00:25, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

My my, don't we have a temper. Sorry dude... >_> ☆X-Knight☆511♂ 00:29, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

Sorry... been stressed about finals coming up... R.A. Hunter Blade 00:33, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

Anime Physics

I originally put that trivia about Team Rocket under the Team Rocket article, but PsychicRider removed it saying that that trivia belonged in the anime physics article. So I put it there, but now you say that it isn't anime physics either? Can you talk with this PsychicRider and discuss with him where that trivia should go? Call me when you two reach a decision. And I've told PsychicRider the same thing so all three of us are on the same page. Ghostkaiba297 05:29, 14 May 2009 (UTC)

The second part you had was a bit redundant. You also put it under the Other Examples section. The summary for the section says that it talks about things that are "for humorous purposes" and that the characters "do things that would cause harm to or be impossible for a live actor for the sake of entertainment." It's not really humorous for a person to be trapped underwater with only a Magikarp. And for the hair, I can understand what you were getting at, but that's not really part of it. Nothing happened that would harm them, unless a loss of hair is deadly. The other reason is that hair gets messed with in a lot of episodes, a lot of them being the ones right before and after Jessie catches Seviper. R.A. Hunter Blade 12:12, 14 May 2009 (UTC)

The hair thing was more a reference to the "charred from electricity" thing than the "resistant to death" thing. Also I could omit the Pokemon Shipwreck thing, the scenarios at the end are usually for humorous purposes, unlike Pokemon Shipwreck.

And on a side note, can you please tell PsychicRider what you told me? To make him understand? Ghostkaiba297 20:43, 14 May 2009 (UTC)

They lost their hair because of being shocked? Or do you mean it's comical like being shocked? And yeeaaah... if you can find a way to reword what you had, not including the Shipwreck one, then go for it. And Psy hasn't said anything yet. I told him to come here if he wanted to say something. R.A. Hunter Blade 21:31, 14 May 2009 (UTC)

It really doesn't belong at all. It's already stated that things that could kill a regular person have no effect on Team Rocket or anyone. Plot devices in a show such as this are for comedic effect. It's a bit redundant to say so because I'd like to hope that most people can realize that an explosion at close range that could kill some or critically injure someone is not going to have any effect in an animated show, but that's just me...--^Psychic_Rider^☮ 22:00, 14 May 2009 (UTC)

That's what I thought too... but... eh, oh well. I guess we should leave it out. R.A. Hunter Blade 22:05, 14 May 2009 (UTC)

Rocket Admin Hunter Blade: No, they lost their hair because of Scyther. My point is, next episode it's like their hair wasn't ever cut, it seems to be back to normal. Just like the thundershocks and flamethrowers. So do you have any suggestions on how I can reword the Team Rocket thing?

PsychicRider: You do have a point, I mean, Pokemon never die in battle, do they? They even survive doing moves like Explosion and Selfdestruct? Not that the odd Pokemon hasn't died, but there were special circumstances behind most of them, and really in the case of Pikachu he just temporarily became a ghost. And fire attacks could probably kill someone in reality too, like when Charmander used Flamethrower on Damian, but no one ever gets killed by fire. But Dr. Fuji did get killed in an explosion once, so it is possible. Except this was a huge building being blown up by an extremely powerful Pokemon. Anyway, on the topic of where this goes, Rocket Admin Hunter Blade, as you saw, said I can put it back on Anime Physics if I can reword it and omit Pokemon Shipwreck. But on the matter of the particular "survive what would have killed the main characters" thing... would that belong in anime physics or is it more for "Team Rocket?" Ghostkaiba297 22:16, 14 May 2009 (UTC)

Just Hunter plz. Takes too long for peeps to type the whole thing out. xD

And actually, it really isn't anime physics now that I think about it. Just because somebody gets in a situation that looks like they could never get out of it doesn't mean they can't. And TR being stranded on an island in the middle of the ocean is what I mean. R.A. Hunter Blade 22:19, 14 May 2009 (UTC)

It's all flippin' redundant. We aren't a site to go in under everything. We don't dig and make some logical explanation for something that clearly doesn't even make sense to begin with. No one would honestly care...--^Psychic_Rider^☮ 22:22, 14 May 2009 (UTC)

Like: OMGZ! They got stuck upside down in a block of unhardened cement that hardened and they somehow survived, even though they had no logical way of escaping! Just an example, although kinda bad. R.A. Hunter Blade 22:24, 14 May 2009 (UTC)

I wasn't just referring to surviving the non-survivable, but also escaping the inescapable. And my point is that there IS no logical explanation and it doesn't make sense. PsychicRider is 100% right on that count. And Hunter, that is a perfectly good example. I'm not sure I saw that episode, unless you're referring to Haunter Versus Kadabra, but they weren't trapped upside-down there and the cement never hardened, but it does sound like the kind of inescapable situation Team Rocket would be in. And I did read what you said, and I tried rewording it, do you have any suggestions as to where this should go if it isn't anime physics? Cause if it isn't, it would go well under the Team Rocket article, but we'd need PsychicRider's OK for that, he said it was anime physics.Ghostkaiba297 22:41, 14 May 2009 (UTC)

I made that one up... and it's both unsurvivable and unescapable. And yes, but Psy also said that it was redundant, so.... yeah. R.A. Hunter Blade 22:43, 14 May 2009 (UTC)

Just curious... why is it redundant? And what part of it is redundant - it being on the Anime Physics article or the Team Rocket article?

Well, it looks as though we'll have to wait to find out his word on the matter, his user page says he's taking a break from this site.Ghostkaiba297 23:47, 14 May 2009 (UTC)

Fun... R.A. Hunter Blade 14:48, 16 May 2009 (UTC)

PsychicRider is back. I know because he gave me h e double hockey sticks for not using link templates (don't worry, I started using them straight away once I understood them). If you're gonna ask him if I can put it in the Team Rocket article, now is a good chance.Ghostkaiba297 04:04, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

Yeah... I know that. R.A. Hunter Blade 13:32, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

So lemme know when he replies. Ghostkaiba297 18:06, 23 May 2009 (UTC)

OK, final time, it shouldn't be there at all is my answer. It's something so redundant. It's obvious that they would be killed and it's a comedic effect for the kids. To go into and expand something that can be written out like it is already is fine as it is. Honestly no one cares about how the mechanics work about how a Flamethrower would incinerate them on contact, or that recurring Thunderbolt should have electrocuted them, or those Ice Beams that should have dropped their body temperatures to cause them to die, or Razor Leaves should have sliced their bodies into mincemeat and the list goes on and on...I personally don't think it should be added and it should stay as it is is my vote...The End. --^Psychic_Rider^☮ 18:16, 23 May 2009 (UTC)

I'm not talking about fire, razor, electric, etc. attacks that would kill a person in reality. I am referring to situations that Team Rocket exclusively survives. Situations that would have killed Ash and his friends (like in the Bridge Bike Gang, with the falling into the water while a ship was crossing, or in Pokemon Paparazzi, where Ash would've been killed if he fell down the waterfall, but Team Rocket did fall, and survived, or in Shell Shock, when Ash and the others would've been crushed by the boulder, but James survives a fall into a canyon with the same boulder on top of him. Also Team Rocket should've drowned in the St. Anne, and survived two falls that Meowth said was going to kill them. Team Rocket are IMMORTAL! And not just the trio. If I recall correctly, Giovanni survives two explosions he was caught in that were caused by Mewtwo, one of which was the same size as the explosion that killed Dr. Fuji (also caused by Mewtwo). - unsigned comment from Ghostkaiba297 (talk • contribs)

Crap, I hate it when I forget to sign! Ghostkaiba297 02:59, 24 May 2009 (UTC)

At PsychicRider's suggestion, I just asked TTEchidna, an admin, his opinion, and he says it goes in anime physics. Check his usertalkpage if you don't believe me. As long and tiring as this debate/discussion has been, it was kinda cool, but it looks like PsychicRider was right the first time. What TTE says goes, he's the main guy in charge here. Anyway, sorry you lost the debate, Hunter, but maybe you'll win the next one you're in. Ghostkaiba297 03:52, 24 May 2009 (UTC)

Yeah. Don't. EVER. Say something like that again. It's insulting. Not to mention immature... R.A. Hunter Blade 04:04, 24 May 2009 (UTC)

I wasn't trying to sound immature or insulting, really. I was trying to be nice, and a good sport, it's not like I said "Ha! You moron! PsychicRider was right, an admin said that it was anime physics! An admin! And he really put you in your place, ya doofus! I hope he eventually bans you!" That's not what I was thinking, of course, and it's not something I'll say to anyone on here. Anyway, I apologize if I offended you in any way, I never try to do things like that. Ghostkaiba297 04:12, 24 May 2009 (UTC)

I know... I overreacted. Sorry. But still, you can cut the "Sorry, try again next time!" junk... and TTE said not to overanalyze it, not that you could add it. R.A. Hunter Blade 04:17, 24 May 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, maybe I shouldn't have said that... but still, he said it was anime physics. Remember I just asked him which of the two categories it would best fit in. Ghostkaiba297 04:26, 24 May 2009 (UTC)

He said no. So all three of us lost. Ghostkaiba297 04:50, 24 May 2009 (UTC)

Well technically speaking, you won, since you didn't seem to feel it belonged anywhere. Ghostkaiba297 04:50, 24 May 2009 (UTC)

So did PsychicRider, he sided with you before he asked me to ask an admin. Speaking of Psy, he and I were just starting to get along, but after the misunderstanding of what TTE meant, he hates me again. Ghostkaiba297 06:32, 24 May 2009 (UTC)

Re: Minor

Thanks, I was rearranging moves and types and I guess I missed one. --HoennMaster 15:46, 16 May 2009 (UTC)

No problem. I only said something before somebody edited it and then got into a giant fight with admins like what's been happening lately. R.A. Hunter Blade 15:51, 16 May 2009 (UTC)

You should have seen what the pokémon team table looked like before I edited it today, it was horribly funny. So people are fighting over others editing their pages then? --HoennMaster 16:04, 16 May 2009 (UTC)

Yeah. More specifically, one person's page that has a typo. A few users over the past week have tried fixing it without asking permission, and then one them ranted on their talk page after an admin told them not to do that any more. R.A. Hunter Blade 18:09, 17 May 2009 (UTC)‎

questions

How do you make an article 4 ur own made-up character? I got confuzzled at ur explanation. THNX! BTW Mew is a legendary peace luv palletshipping - garyplusash

Type in User:Garyplusash/Name, but put the name of your character instead of the actual word Name. It should come up as "This page does not exist. Would you like to start an article with this name?" or something similar to that. Then you can do whatever you want to describe your character. And also, you can type four tildes (~), or use the ~ x4 thing on the character palette at right under the edit box on talk pages. It's easier than typing it out. And yes, Mew's a legendary. R.A. Hunter Blade 20:06, 17 May 2009 (UTC)

Nice Job!

Hey nice job on the May party templates! Can't we just copy those over to the Brendan article, change the sprites and name? It would be so much easier to do.... -MasterKenobi 20:40, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

Thanks! :D It's a bit more time consuming than you think. You have to change the sprites, moves, abilities, genders, Pokémon, make sure you don't accidentally kill something, and stuff like that. On top of actually finding out what the other Pokémon, moves, genders, etc., are. And I had been using copy/paste when I started, but they turned out really messed up. So I have to make one or use an existing one for that specific section, and then mess around with it on a Word document untill I finish. If you want to help I could probably explain it to you, although I might fail. xD R.A. Hunter Blade 20:47, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

Sure. I think I have the method down I am currently working on that Masters Battle article. Thanks for the offer though! -MasterKenobi 21:07, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

Alright. Hope everything goes well with that. :D

And for a list of the other article needing the templates, there should be a link on the bottom of the page. You probably woulda found that without me telling you though. xD Good luck! R.A. Hunter Blade 00:18, 12 June 2009 (UTC)

Party templates

"Unknown" is not correct. None of the Pokémon have items, therefore, "Unknown" gives mis-information. "None" is comepletely accurate. 0° 20:59, 20 June 2009 (UTC)

A few things:

1. Don't tell me how to do something I've been doing for a few months, unless you want to finish every page's templates yourself and do it how you like.

2. How is "Unknown" less accurate than "None"? It's actually more accurate, because unless you've checked EVERY Pokémon, then you don't know if it has one or not. Just because it doesn't have anything that you can tell from battling regularly, doesn't mean it won't have anything. Such as the items that trainers sometimes have in R/S/E.

3. Nobody else has a problem with it. Only you. TTE's left it alone, and he's had to fix some of the coding I did for May's templates.

4. Get a better reason than "mis-information". "Unknown" states, we don't know. If we don't know, putting "None" is way more misleading, because we don't actually have that fact.

5. If you really care THAT much, go get an admin or two. They can decide instead of us getting into an edit war, which will probably happen if this doesn't stop now.

R.A. Hunter Blade 03:20, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

This is how I know that they don't have items. I traded a level 5 Sneasel (hatched from an egg) to my game that I had taught Thief via TM. I made sure to keep Thief through the entire game, and when I used it against the Gym Leaders/Elite 4's Pokémon, guess what I got? Nothing. And no, Sneasel was not holding any item of its own. 0° 13:45, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

How can I trust you on this? I could just as easily say that I tested it and found some items. And I'm not going to change it. You would also need to do FRLG, RSE, and DPPt, or the templates would be inconsistent. R.A. Hunter Blade 17:54, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

And who says I can't just as easily do FR/LG, R/S/E, and D/P/Pt? 0° 18:00, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

Nobody. But you never claimed you did. R.A. Hunter Blade 18:01, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

Then I will. 0° 18:02, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

That means you have to restart every game. Get someone who knows Thief/Covet/Switcheroo/Trick/whatever. Battle every single person. Go crazy with it. R.A. Hunter Blade 18:05, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

Work

ok...how do u get like the word say...pokemon to go to like random direct... also how do u make usertags? totoRulz 23:53, 20 June 2009 (UTC)

Um... I don't know off the top of my head. Somebody has something like that on their page. I'll try to find it for you. As for usertags, go to a page like this, copy the coding from the edit section, and mess around with it untill you get what you want. R.A. Hunter Blade 02:59, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

Templates?

Are we allowed to make user templates shortcuts (i.e. User:Favorite instead of wiki code for that template) for our own user templates we have made?GreenGyarados

Such as:

(user created template goes here)

{{User:*title goes here* }}

If that's what you mean, then no. Unless you somehow get permission, but I still don't think you'd be able to. And we're not allowed to have sprites in our sigs. Everybody used to do that, and it was slowing the server. That's why you never see them on current talk page comments any more, only the really old ones. R.A. Hunter Blade 17:30, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

Items...

Please be careful with the items...they were carefully looked over. I know it's over one Sitrus Berry, but in the future, be careful. For Wattson, for instance, I totally forgot where the berry was supposed to be on Magneton (which rematch)...and it took some time before I realized which one it was... ^ht14 03:11, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

Hmmm.... if it's on Magneton in one battle, it's on it in all of them. I thought it was on Manectric because it's at a higher level. It was kinda a 50-50 thing, because I didn't remember which one had it, and both had it on the page. It makes sense with Magneton though, because that's Wattson's signature Pokémon. I'll change it then. R.A. Hunter Blade 03:15, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

No offense, but FAIL. It's possible for more than 1 Pokemon to have items, you know...the Manectric also have it... ^ht14 03:28, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

Don't worry. I've been having a fail day. And if more have items, then change it. I don't feel like messing with it right now, because I'd have to walk around in Emerald for about an hour or so untill he feels like battling again. I'm getting off anyways, so..... yeah. If you know something isn't right with when I change any party template, then feel free to fix it. R.A. Hunter Blade 03:32, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

It may be a sandbox

But those edits still count towards your total. Just warning you that you edited it a lot today, and that you should slow down. Maybe try and use the public box a bit more? I promise that no bullies will kick over your sand castle. ;) ^Maverick_Nate 23:06, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

Yeah sorry. I didn't realize I had 7 or 8 edits on it. I also tend to do things by section so that I don't confuse myself when I'm working with party templates, as you've probably seen on a lot of the gym leader pages. I'll try to keep it to 5 or 6. I sorta have permission here from TTE to edit it a bit more than 4, but I'll have to watch it. I don't really have anything more I can do with it either right now, so it won't be a problem for a while. R.A. Hunter Blade 00:04, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

What a Community!

I like how I fixed something I thought was misinformation, and then added an, albeit esoteric however accurate addition, and you simply removed it because of your differing opinion. Not everything in Pokemon has to be a wolf. -Darklordscary

And that wasn't the only reason I removed it. It was fine as wolf-like with feline-like. And for the gothic thing, heck no. Where did that come from? R.A. Hunter Blade 23:59, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

Well like I said, it was somewhat esoteric, and it may not be seen by many others so that doesn't really bother me. However, I do disagree heavily on the Wolf-like part of the description. I don't see any part of a Dog that isn't present on a large cat, aside from the facial structure, especially in such a vague example as a Cartoon Animal. If we were talking stone cold Anatomy then yes, but until I see a release from the Pokemon Company about Absol's anatomy resembling that of a wolf, moreso than a large cat, then I have to disagree. If its just fine as Wolf-like, then its just as fine as "resembling a large feline." I'm going to change it back. Please don't be a hypocrit and make this into some Schoolyard back-and-forth, and change it once again. I'll leave out the rather abstract 'gothic' addition, because you are right. That's more of a matter of observational opinion. - DarkLordScary

..... No comment, because you're not really thinking about it too hard, are you? R.A. Hunter Blade 00:09, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

I'm sorry, but ever since I've started using this Website, that's always annoyed the crap out of me. I just want this site to be the best it can be, and I don't want misinformation on here. It resembles a cat, more than it does a wolf, in more than one respect, especially with its flat face, and large claws. I'm on your side. If something looks like a Wolf, I want it to say it resembles a wolf. The same goes for something that looks like a cat. I just don't like such blatant opinionated influence on the information on a Wiki like this. There's no reason for every big cat pokemon on this site, to say it resembles a wolf. Cause, c'mon, wouldn't you get irritated if someone added onto Luxio that it looks like a big Flat-faced Wolf, with Cat-like features? Or doesn't the fact that Suicune says that it looks like a Maned Wolf, when it is obviously one of the Legendary Cats? Such opinionated corruption from dog lovers just makes having an informational community pointless. I've had people tell me that Persian looks like a dog with a cats face, simply because they perfer Dogs over Cats. Its ridiculous. - Darklordscary

Problem solved. Please move on everybody. —darklordtrom 00:20, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

Templates

I was looking at your sandbox and saw that you did not have Red or Giovanni yet. I will start on them as soon as possible unless you would like to do them. They will probably go on the Gym Leaders page. –MasterKenobi 03:58, 13 September 2009 (UTC)

Yeah. I didn't find out about them until about an hour ago, but I've been doing other things. If you're gonna be on for the next hour or so, then go for it. If not, I'll most likely be on tomorrow afternoon. Sunday's my lazy day, so I probably won't be on until around 1-3PM.

Giovanni:

• Nidoking level 42
• Honchkrow level 43
• Nidoqueen level 46
• Kangaskhan level 40

Red:

• Pikachu level 88
• Venesaur level 84
• Charizard level 84
• Blastoise level 84
• Lapras level 80
• Snorlax level 82

R.A. Hunter Blade 04:07, 13 September 2009 (UTC)

Sure, I will get to it. I saw that someone tried and horribly failed on the Red template. Just more work. You did not need to post it by the way, I think I found them somewhere. ;) Thanks. –MasterKenobi 04:12, 13 September 2009 (UTC)

Rocket Colours

Hey, I asked TTE what colors would be good for Giovanni and he said something like a dark grey and red would be fine. I tried a couple of things and they did not look the greatest. I was thinking maybe something along the lines of the rocket uniform in generation III (left picture) with the red (Lettering), black-ish grey (clothing), and grey (boots). We could also go with a color scheme of the new Generation IV rocket uniforms (right picture) with the yellow (lettering), dark grey (clothing), and light grey (boots).

I was thinking that we would use the same colour scheme for all of the Rocket Admins too, but we could do a different color scheme for them but it would be much easier. Feel free to test out the Giovanni template on the Gym Leader template page and hopefully together we can find something that looks good. Thanks! –MasterKenobi 08:55, 13 September 2009 (UTC)

Try this one and this one. They're used on the TR infobox. —darklordtrom 09:18, 13 September 2009 (UTC)

Sigining

Yeah, i know how, im just experimenting a lot with my new sig. TOMMY-SAN *(MyTalk)* 19:01, 14 September 2009 (UTC)

You do realize that you don't even have to save the page when you're testing your sig, right? All you have to do is sign on some random page and keep using Preview until it gets how you want it. R.A. Hunter Blade 20:40, 14 September 2009 (UTC)

Giovanni

You better take another look, you did something bad there. Drake Clawfang 03:20, 20 September 2009 (UTC)

Oops. Where?. R.A. Hunter Blade 03:27, 20 September 2009 (UTC)

Like...everywhere. :p Drake Clawfang 03:28, 20 September 2009 (UTC)

What exactly is wrong? R.A. Hunter Blade 03:29, 20 September 2009 (UTC)

You copied a bunch of stuff and now it's on the page twice. Just go look. I'm not sure what you were trying to do so you'll have to fix it, whatever you were doing. Drake Clawfang 03:44, 20 September 2009 (UTC)

Fixing.... R.A. Hunter Blade 03:48, 20 September 2009 (UTC)

Lance (Team Rocket)

So what is going on with the Lance page? –MasterKenobi 04:13, 20 September 2009 (UTC)

If it was about the link colors I kept them the same. It was just that his Pokémon were not completely finished.

Also, I see why we are keeping Lance's link colors black, as most other villains have them that color. I do not see why we are making Silver's black though as no other rivals have them that color... are you trying to get all the links on the templates black eventually? –MasterKenobi 19:40, 20 September 2009 (UTC)

I didn't realize you were trying to do the party. Sorry. And yes, eventually I am. Everything but the trainer class at least. R.A. Hunter Blade 21:41, 20 September 2009 (UTC)

Contests

A question. I'm starting to notice in Emerald, that there's a limited pool of contest contestants. If I can combine their moves, should I maybe make a page for the contestants or something? Or no? Drake Clawfang 05:48, 20 September 2009 (UTC)

Let's see what you can get first. If there's enough for a page then maybe. Otherwise a section will be fine. —darklordtrom 05:52, 20 September 2009 (UTC)

K, I'll make a sandbox and start keeping track. In addition to the same pool of opponents, each likes to stick to a key appeal combo or two, so I think a little blurb or two isn't out of the question. Drake Clawfang 05:56, 20 September 2009 (UTC)
