Project to-do list

Some Bulbapedia members have formed a project to better organize efforts to write and improve walkthroughs. If you would like to help, see the Bulbapedia:Project Walkthroughs/To-do list. Project Walkthroughs Scope and aims Project Walkthroughs covers and aims to make articles that contain good quality step-by-step walkthroughs that help players as they progress through a game.

Contact me if you know of something that needs done! Structure of an article The structure of every Walkthrough article should be as follows: Top If the game the walkthrough is on has a remake, it should say so at at the top of the page and provide a link to the remake. e.g: This is the Bulbapedia walkthrough for Pokémon Red and Blue Versions. This walkthrough follows the original Game Boy version, not Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen. The guide for those can be found here. Headlines Each Route or City should be in the second highest headline. e.g: ==Route 1== Images There should be an image for every route Trainers Each walkthrough article should have a list of trainers that can be found in that area, along with their Pokémon, and the amount of $ that is won from them. e.g: Name Pokémon Winnings Youngster Billy Lv 6 Seedot♂, Lv 8 Taillow♂ $128 Rich Boy Winston Lv 7 Zigzagoon♂ $1400 Lady Cindy Lv 7 Zigzagoon♀ $1400 Lass Haley Lv 7 Lotad♀, Lv 7 Shroomish♀ $112 Twins Gina & Mia Lv 8 Seedot♂, Lv 8 Lotad♂ $192 Fisherman Ivan Lv 6 Magikarp♂, Lv 6 Magikarp♂, Lv 6 Magikarp♂ $240 Pokémon Each walkthrough article should have a list of wild Pokémon that can be found in that area, along with their encounter rates and level ratio and area details. Each picture link should have a direct link to the Pokémon's own page as well as using hovertext to avoid the use of parenthesis for minor things like fishing rods, different levels and other unneeded material that would widen the template too much. Each Pokémon should only be listed once per game on each route or location. e.g: Pokémon Encounter rate Level Area Zigzagoon 45% 2-3 Grass Magikarp 45% 2-3 Fishing Goldeen 10% 2-3 Surfing Alternatively for the games related to Johto and Sinnoh regions for all wild encounters where the time of day affects the encounter rate then this template should be more appropriate: Pokémon Best time to find Other Encounter rates Level Area Bidoof 50% 40% 2-3 Grass Shinx 30% 20% 3-4 Grass Starly 30% 20% 2-4 Grass Kricketot 10% 3-4 Grass Zigzagoon 40% 3 Grass (Swarms) Sentret 22% 2-4 Grass (Poké Radar) Growlithe 8% 2 Grass (Dongle) Seedot 8% 6 Grass (Dongle) Lotad 8% 6 Grass (Dongle) Preferably the highest ratio should be listed first with the time of day in parenthesis and the alternate encounter rates placed in the box next to it under "Other Encounter rates". This template is intended for general field use only and not for caves or buildings since the time of day does not affect the ratio there. Bosses Bosses such as Gym leaders and the rival do not share the same table as the ordinary trainers, instead, they have their own unique table e.g: File:SpriteBrawly.png [[Leader (Trainer class)|Leader]] Brawly [[Dewford Gym|Dewford Gym]] Ruby and Sapphire [[Leader (Trainer class)|Leader]] and Professor Brawly Oak [[Dewford Gym|Dewford Gym]] Ruby and Sapphire Reward: $1800 Types: Fighting Unknown Ability: Guts Held item: None Machop♂ Lv.17 Bulk Up Fighting   --       Leer Normal   --       Karate Chop Fighting   --       Seismic Toss Fighting   --       Types: Fighting Unknown Ability: Guts Held item: None Makuhita♂ Lv.18 Bulk Up Fighting   --       Knock Off Dark   --       Arm Thrust Fighting   --       Sand-Attack Ground   --       However the only exception for the rival on this rule, is for Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald Versions, as well as Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum Versions, because the un-chosen Player Character also has a Starter Pokémon which depends on the one the player chose and with there being two characters there are six possible combinations. a different template will be used for the rival to avoid an overuse of 6 templates instead of the standard 3. e.g: Rival Battle Name Pokémon Winnings If you chose Treecko PKMN Trainer May/Brendan Lv 29 Shroomish Lv 29 Wailmer Lv 31 Combusken $1860 If you chose Torchic PKMN Trainer May/Brendan Lv 29 Shroomish Lv 29 Numel Lv 31 Marshtomp $1860 If you chose Mudkip PKMN Trainer May/Brendan Lv 29 Numel Lv 29 Wailmer Lv 31 Grovyle $1860 Bottom Each walkthrough article should have a link to the next section and the previous section at the bottom of the page e.g: ← Part 1 Pallet Town Red and Blue walkthrough Viridian City Part 2 → Goals To write step-by-step guides on every Pokémon game.
