Pokémon TCG Images

Hi, I noticed you've done a lot of work on the TCG pages. I don't know how much they'd help, but I've got a lot of TCG images on my system (just over 40). I don't know if they'll help you, but I can send them to you if you want. If you want to know what they are, I can either send a screenshot of them to you or just list them. I can send the images either via email, or Windows Live Messenger (MSN). Anyway, let me know if your interested. Regards, Double Dash 15:34, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

Edit: Just a quick list: 8 images (one Japanese) from Diamond & Pearl; 11 images (Japanese) from Mysterious Treasures; 8 images (Japanese) from Shining Darkness; 8 images from EX sets; 2 display box images; the Worlds 2006 card back; 4 Worlds 2005 deck box images and the Worlds 2005 logo; 4 Worlds 2006 deck box images; 4 Worlds 2006 card images, one to go with each deck. That's actually 50 altogether, not just over 40, and I've probably got some more elsewhere. They're from various places, and all have been released by press releases either by Pokémon USA or Pokémon-Card.com in Japan. Edit at 16:02, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

Concerning images for the cards themselves, its Happy Mask Man you need to talk to - I tend to handle TCG lists and related topics (some of which need some attention), after several card articles I did myself have been edited in favour of his system. I would do articles for the later sets, such as Diamond & Pearl to ease his workload, but he'd need a lot of work to add to it anyway, what with the Japanese translations and the GameBoy version of the TCG, etc. - I can't do any of that. I'd prefer not to tread on his feet. Although we will need images eventually of the English cards, its not my place to determine when. Cheers for the heads-up though. nuva-kal, 18 June 2007 21:15 (BST)

Edit: Come to think of it - there are a couple of things that could make the lists better. The first is the set logo on the cards, I'm having difficulty finding high resolution images of the ones that we don't have yet. The second would be booster designs, which could be displayed alongside the card lists (language specific) and take up some of that white space. Although more recent booster images are easy to find, older ones with a decent enough resolution are difficult to track.

So set symbols and set logos for as many sets as possible, plus as many booster pack designs as possible? Do you want any theme deck boxes if I can find those as well? Double Dash 20:50, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

That would be a bonus! nuva-kal, 18 June 2007 22:04 (BST)

Is there any way to send you what I have? Got plenty of stuff for you. Double Dash 15:04, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

My Hotmail account is acting up, so you can send the stuff to my alternate address - aggkbrown@talktalk.net nuva-kal, 26 June 2007 16:33 (BST)

Re: Credit

No, it's fine, thanks. :-) Double Dash 19:26, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

Poké Ball is spelt as two words with both words capitalised. - 振霖_T 01:44, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

You should not move content from a article to a category description. Instead, link to the category from the article. - 振霖_T 15:03, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

I only moved the Nintendo Promo cards to separarte articles in their own category because one single article is too large. Upon editing the single article, there was a notice saying it may be too large for other users to view. Besides, there are more miscellaneous promos coming out later this year, and there is a new promo set (DP##), so I thought separating them would give less hassle in the long term. That's what I did with the Japanese Promo cards too. nuva-kal, 1 July 2007 21:02 (BST)

Not view, edit. The point is, with categories you don't have to maintain the list in the article, just link to the category. - 振霖_T 07:00, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

Shining Darkness

There was no reason to blank that page. Yes, it's considered a Japan-only expansion, but so is VS, Web, Moon Hunting, Night Dashing, and several Japan-only promo card categories. It would be inappropriate to blank any of those, why would it be appropriate to blank Shining Darkness?

Don't pull a stunt like that again, or there will be consequences. Bulbapedia does not take kindly to people who blank notable pages for no reason. ****, Bulbapedia frowns on blanking pages period! --Shiningpikablu252 18:06, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

Shining Darkness is not Japanese-exclusive, I don't know why people can't get their heads round this - Secret Wonders is the English version of it, simply with Dialga, Palkia and Darkrai omitted and with a few cards from MH/ND added. Can the removal of six cards and an addition of 10 really class Shining Darkness a stand-alone set?

Were the Japanese and English versions of Team Rocket classed as two sets because the English version had Dark Raichu - no; were Japanese and English versions of EX Sandstorm considered separate because the English version had (at the time) exclusive cards in it - no.

I have not completely omitted the content of Shining Darkness, if you will take note, I have simply moved its content to Secret Wonders, as 95% of the card list is exactly the same as its Japanese counterpart. With all of the relevant information included in Secret Wonders, I saw no need to keep the Shining Darkness article, and therefore removed the information - not being a moderator, I can't actually delete the page.

I have done this in the past with the e-card sets, and more recently EX Power Keepers, so why I have attracted such a negative response for a perfectly reasonable action is beyond me. If you would prefer me to alert you or a moderator when I am about to do something of this nature, I will do so. I do not go and delete pages off the lam - I take my position as a member of the Pokémon and Bulbapedia community seriously and whenever I do edit material, it is done with consideration for others and always with a just explanation. nuva-kal 09:11, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, uh, I'd actually back that up. (Sorry for butting in, but I agree here.) Bar, what, ten cards, Shining Darkness is Secret Wonders. Similarly, DP4 in America will be Moon Hunting/Night Dashing. There's going to be very little point in having four pages for two sets, surely. Now, I could understand if both DP3 and DP4 in America were 50/50 of Shining Darkness and MH/ND, but they're not. You can't use VS and Web to back up your argument, either, because their cards have never been released in English-language sets. Double Dash 15:07, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

Re: Shining Darkness

No probs, happy to be able to help out. I'm gonna redirect the Shining Darkness page to Secret Wonders, so there are no more arguments. Double Dash 21:01, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

Card Article Image Field

"image= |" displays the image "Please upload an image of this card" when the field in question is blank. There is no need to replace the field with the text when it's easier to have the blank field. --Shiningpikablu252 16:36, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

TCG ID

PLEASE USE THE {{TCG ID|SET NAME|CARD NAME|CARD NUMBER}} ON ANY CARD LISTS. User:Jason/sig

I know, I'm just not that familiar with using these new templates. I'll learn(!) BTW, you say you have stuff for the GB cards? If you could add images and Japanese characters/translations to complete them that would be great. nuva-kal 13:21, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

yes i do. it is on my pc... along with alot of stuff....however, would it be possible to manage gb1 and gb2 card images near their card number ? :) User:Jason/sig

I don't know what you mean, which number are you talking about - the ones in the checklist? nuva-kal 13:34, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

Double Redirects

When moving a page, make sure you fix any double redirects you create. When you moved Moon Hunting/Night Dashing (TCG) to Great Encounters (TCG), you left behind two double redirects in Moon Hunting (TCG) and Night Dashing (TCG) and did not bother to fix them. I've gone ahead and fixed them for you, but make sure you fix any double redirects you create when moving pages in the future. You can check for double redirects by looking under "What Links Here" on a page. --Shiningpikablu252 22:19, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

Flaaffy

You sure? The Secret Wonders Blister Pack with the Flaaffy doesn't get released till December...Arri 17:56, 17 November 2007 (UTC) You're right, its just that my local Forbidden Planet has the Secret Wonders blister pack with the alt. holos, and when I saw the bit about the Flaaffy, I automatically assumed that was the one you were on about - I completely forgot about the Japanese promo! nuva-kal 18:14, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
