DW artworks

Good job on extracting the Dream World Pokemon arts. Would it be possible to rip the Dream World Item pictures as well? --Maxim 20:35, 19 October 2010 (UTC)

It is. Infact, I already have them since a few days ago, but had been focusing on the Pokemon. Still about 400+ to upload. I also have other stuff like berry trees too. Bluesun 23:45, 19 October 2010 (UTC)

Oh, it's awesome. Keep up your great work. --Maxim 13:58, 20 October 2010 (UTC)

Hey, I'm going to congratulate you too, you are doing an awesome job! May I ask, however, if you recall seeing any missing species, just from the top of your head? Thanks. Eriorguez 03:01, 21 October 2010 (UTC)

Thanks! Well, 41 different Isshu Pokemon currently don't have Dream World art, if that's what you mean. All of the existing Isshu ones have already been uploaded, so you can see what Isshu ones are missing. The first 531 Pokemon are all present though, though I haven't got round to uploading all of them. Bluesun 03:17, 21 October 2010 (UTC)

Hey, if I was informed correctly, the DW website was down for maintenance yesterday. Would you be able to check up if new art has been added? Eriorguez 13:14, 17 December 2010 (UTC)

Alright, just did. The last time they put up vector Pokemon art is the 20th of September. No new decorations either, so they still have to be added... which means more maintenance before the year's end. >_> Bluesun 08:24, 20 December 2010 (UTC)

Two more catalogue parts put up since my last message, no new images though. Bluesun 06:28, 23 December 2010 (UTC)

Yokuataru

Ah, thanks for the info. I had thought that it would be something from English.

Awesome job, dude!

Sega

How did you find out about these games? Because of these games, I'm tempted to make articles for those consoles. --SnorlaxMonster 09:02, 20 December 2010 (UTC)

Kiddo (the person who imported and uploaded videos of Hiragana Katakana Kakechatta to youtube) mentioned there were more in a conversation about games, so I did some research and found out there were seven in all(I think, there could be even more...). I've found boxarts of all but the first one as well. They're all similar edutainment games though. Hirakatakake and Daiundōkai are also available with their respective consoles too. Bluesun 09:19, 20 December 2010 (UTC)

On a related note, can you translate the names any better? Right now they are just straight out romanisations (except for things like "Pokémon" and "Best Wishes"). It would be better if the games had their names fully translated. --SnorlaxMonster 09:27, 20 December 2010 (UTC)

Sure. How do these look?

Pokémon: Catch the Numbers!

Pokémon Advanced Generation: I've Begun Hiragana and Katakana!

Pokémon Advanced Generation: Pico for Everyone Pokémon Loud Battle!

Pokémon Advanced Generation: Pokémon Number Battle!

Intellectual Training Drill Pokémon Diamond & Pearl: Letter and Number Intelligence Game

Pokémon Diamond & Pearl: Search for Pokémon! Adventure in the Maze!

Pokémon Best Wishes: Intelligence Training Pokémon Big Sports Meet!

I saw the one game that was there had its title just romanised, so named the other six in the same way. Bluesun 09:50, 20 December 2010 (UTC)

Those names are much better. The reason it was romanised is because I didn't know how to translate "kakechatta" (nobody else was really working on that page). I don't know how fluent you are in Japanese, but do those names sound as cheesy in Japanese as they do in English? --SnorlaxMonster 09:57, 20 December 2010 (UTC)

Oh, and you said you had boxart. Can you please upload this to the archives? --SnorlaxMonster 10:27, 20 December 2010 (UTC)

I don't think I'm quite fluent enough to tell, although they do sound a bit odd, but quite a bit of Japanese phrasing sounds odd when translated directly to English, edutainmentish titles like these even more so I guess, since they're trying to use a Japanese 5 year old's vocabulary or so.

Sure, what should I upload them as? 'Pokemon Advanced Generation Pokemon Number Battle.png' or similar? Or at some different name like 'Pico Game 3.png'?

And nope, that template can only be edited by sysops. Bluesun 10:42, 20 December 2010 (UTC)

I would recommenced as the translated (as listed above) game titles. Certainly not 'Pico Game 3.png' etc. As for that template, I know it is protected, I was saying that it should not be. --SnorlaxMonster 10:46, 20 December 2010 (UTC)

Wikipedia linked me to here, which shows a Pokémon special Sega Pico and some Pokémon boxes (which appear to be videos) next to a video game console named "New Star 2". --SnorlaxMonster 12:36, 20 December 2010 (UTC)

Yup, that's the Pico that you can get bundled with the Hiragana/Katakana game. And that's a clone of a MegaDrive. The boxes look like MegaDrive game cases to me, maybe something for this page... The top one calls itself 比卡超 げんきでちゅう"Beikachiu, genki dechū"(Hey You, Beikachiu!) the middle one 怪獣[...]'Monster [...]' and the visible text on the bottom one reads [比]卡超II"[Pi]kaqiu II", where Beikachiu and Pikaqiu are both Chinese spellings of Pikachu. Someone on this page mentions that Pikachu II is a jump-action game, continuing on from "Beikachiu, genki dechū", where you kill enemy Pokémon in your way by throwing Monster Balls at them, though their use is different. I guess they're just more Chinese hacks... Bluesun 17:33, 20 December 2010 (UTC)

DW Furniture

Just so you know, the furniture has been moved here since the list can always grow bigger now. Could you add the Japanese text (just replace the big question marks)? And are the Pokémon Center catalog images really like that? The dolls look a little digital, and most of them, for me, don't show most of the time. Lastly, could you get a pic of the Pokémon Center catalog too? Just place it like the Dream catalog was placed. Thanks! ^tc²₆tc₂₆ 03:32, 27 December 2010 (UTC)

Alright, I added the Japanese text (and fixed that obvious mistranslation that popped up out of nowhere, how does Pink no Polo Shirt translate to Clothes Stand anyway...). Currently I've lost my DS and so can't get into the Dream World to see what the dolls look like in-game, but via url hacking those *are* the original files as best as I can tell... the dolls are a bit on the small side though and I think what makes them look digital is that bulbapedia is upscaling them. As for the ones that don't display, I've no idea... I'd suggest server sync issues as they all seem to be uploaded in the right place? I'm looking for the PC Catalogue now, I didn't realise that it had its own graphic. Bluesun 22:09, 27 December 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the help! And yeah, I think you're right. The dolls are actually very small compared to the other items. Is there actually a green catalog? :D ^tc²₆tc₂₆ 02:24, 28 December 2010 (UTC)

You're welcome. And well, there are 5 green catalogue pictures currently on the Dream World site. Unfortunately because words and pictures are separated (and I can't access the words) I can't tell if it has a name at all though, or even if it's anything more than a placeholder. The castle is the same way though, so I thought I'd put up the picture of the green catalogue. I guess, after all, they added one catalogue, they can add another.

"I'm pretty sure Black City is confirmed as the English name"

What is the source for this? --SnorlaxMonster 12:47, 28 December 2010 (UTC)

Bulbanews. It also confirms White Forest. Bluesun 18:17, 28 December 2010 (UTC)
