Deletion

I took care of the Petilil stuff with the cards so you can go ahead and get rid of the redirects of it's japanese game and set up it's category. -Tyler53841 05:42, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

It's done. Thanks for your help :) --ZestyCactus 06:12, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

BW Episodes

Since I have my hands full deal with minor changes involving Dwebble, could you handle the BW episodes on the grounds that it is part of the recurring cast and I don't have time to read over everything in the summaries. -Tyler53841 07:13, 2 March 2011 (UTC)

It's done. --ZestyCactus 07:22, 2 March 2011 (UTC)

Pignite picture

On the Tackle page there is a Chaoboo picture which I can't update to Pignite without causing it to red link. Could you take a look at it? -Tyler53841 17:16, 3 March 2011 (UTC)

Neither the Tackle nor the Take Down image had been moved yet... I just did it, should work now. --ZestyCactus 17:19, 3 March 2011 (UTC)

Thank you. -Tyler53841 17:22, 3 March 2011 (UTC)

B/W Checklist

Just spent the last hour and a half confirming all Generation V English names are given their proper updates. So there's another part of the project done. -Tyler53841 08:23, 6 March 2011 (UTC)

Also I have to ask how the picture project is going. Though I helped find and helped get rid of the pictures without causing redlinks, I don't know how many are left. -Tyler53841 09:34, 6 March 2011 (UTC)

Moving Fake Card Article

Phew! For a second there I thought someone deleted it. I completely forgot to ask to get it officialized too, so I'm glad it's official now. :3 And no, I don't mind if it was edited (back when it was still in my userspace :P) -- Nick15 23:58, 12 March 2011 (UTC)

No problem! You did a good job :D --ZestyCactus 06:20, 13 March 2011 (UTC)

Ahem...

I was just wondering if you could add this to the epicode page Ataro 23:40, 19 April 2011 (UTC)

Done. --ZestyCactus 04:34, 20 April 2011 (UTC)

Small request

Hey Zesty. :D I believe this user violates the "keep usernames user appropriate" rule. Would you mind taking care of this? Thanks~ ^^ ^★Jo the Marten^★ ಠ_ಠ♥ 17:54, 30 May 2011 (UTC)

Ahem...

Since you're the leader of Project Manga now (shouldn't the project page be changed as well?)...I guess I should say 1) grats and 2) I have articles that need mainspacing. One and two. Apologies if I'm bothering. Ataro 01:24, 14 September 2011 (UTC)

Articles moved! I wasn't going to change it until Ron said it was okay...I should probably ask him about it sometime soon i guess lol. Also don't worry man! You are never bothering! Thanks for all your hard work. \o/ --ZestyCactus 03:04, 14 September 2011 (UTC)

Project Manga question

• Hii Zesty! Since you were the one to ask questions about the Project Manga ways of editing, I have a question about.. Well.. Editing. Under cameos, PS430, would the shadows of the pokemon mentioned be considered a cameo? Plus, I'll have many more questions to come =) Chocos0 07:54, 22 October 2011 (UTC)

Sup man! For shadowed cameos, it's okay to list them but i don't think it's super important to exhaustively list them. only if it's actually important to the story I guess. feel free to ask me anything whenever though :) --ZestyCactus 20:36, 23 October 2011 (UTC)

Picture perfect problems

HELP! I need help figuring out how to put pictures on an article! Please help! - unsigned comment from OrangeLover (talk • contribs)

This page has all the basic wikicode you'll need. Images can be added by putting [[File:(image name)|thumb|(alignment)|(display size)px]]. Werdnae (talk) 00:04, 8 November 2011 (UTC)

Ok...

Zesty, can you help settle an argument? This user keeps adding the dates that are listed on the Viz's website for the List of Pokémon Adventures volumes. The problem here is that none of these dates are officially revealed and are just sitting on the site's data. For all we know, the dates aren't officially confirmed and Viz may or may not be releasing them. The fact that volume 15 is listed for an October release date pretty much confirms that. I say we just wait until they're officially revealed before adding anything. Ataro 17:23, 25 November 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for bringing this to my attention (i agree with you), please see my response on the article's talk page. --ZestyCactus 21:15, 25 November 2011 (UTC)

Also, I wrote to VIZ so I'm hoping to hear back from them soon. u_u --ZestyCactus 21:52, 25 November 2011 (UTC)

Do you mind if I use that box at the top of your talk page? I welcome alot of users and something tells me that I will be asked alot about user pages. Truthseeker4449 02:28, 29 November 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, definitely! Go for it :) (but thanks for asking first!) --ZestyCactus 21:26, 29 November 2011 (UTC)

Manga Summary Question

New user here with a quick question. I'm going to try and cough up some short summaries for various rounds of the RS arc of PokeSpe and was wondering whether characters should be called by their in-game name or the Chuang Yi name in said summaries. The convention already in place on the rounds pages is the Chuang Yi (example) but the rest of the site uses the game names. I just wanted to know which to use before I slap a bunch of text all over the place--don't want to have to spend ages re-editing my edits, haha. Thanks! --Ganamex (talk) 16:29, 7 December 2011 (UTC)

Hey! I would prefer the Chuang Yi names when applicable, please. :) Maybe link to the in-game character's page if one exists, but stick with the CY names for the summaries. Thanks!! --ZestyCactus 21:29, 7 December 2011 (UTC)

Great! That's what I was hoping; I find it less confusing. :) Time to get cracking! --Ganamex (talk) 10:01, 8 December 2011 (UTC)

haha glad that's good for you too then \o/ good work so far, thanks!! :) --ZestyCactus 16:30, 9 December 2011 (UTC)

Hey you

If you can be on AIM later, I have some AÉdP to discuss.--MisterE13 16:57, 10 December 2011 (UTC)

Thoughts

Since your the Manga guru (:D) what do you think is the best solution to this topic on Pryce's talk page? Do you think it's fine the way it is or something else? Thank you~ --Pokemaster97 23:00, 12 December 2011 (UTC)

RoundsPrevNext or MangaPrevNext

Hi, I was just wondering, can we make a RoundsPrevNext (or MangaPrevNext) template? We can add this template at the top of each rounds just like anime episodes articles have. -- ✔Pokégeek™✔ 11:09, 21 January 2012 (UTC)

Hope I am not nosing around, but there is a manga counterpart here:-

← PS078 : Victim of Venusaur

Yellow

PS080 : Draggin' In Dragonair →

Jaison Clinton Castelino 13:08, 21 January 2012 (UTC)

So can I add this to all the rounds? -- ✔Pokégeek™✔ 13:10, 21 January 2012 (UTC)

Offcouce,actually I got it from the history of PS079 by Cool Pikachu (I dont know why he deleted it)............Jaison Clinton Castelino 13:16, 21 January 2012 (UTC)

If someone removed this template, there must be a reason for removing that. We should wait for Zesty's approval. -- ✔Pokégeek™✔ 13:27, 21 January 2012 (UTC)

The reason for removing it would likely have been that there are links to the previous round and the next round in the infobox, thus making that template redundant. Werdnae (talk) 04:55, 22 January 2012 (UTC)

Okay, thanks :D - ✔Pokégeek™✔ 13:52, 22 January 2012 (UTC)

The reason for its removal is exactly as Werdnae mentioned: the previous and next rounds are in the infobox for every manga chapter of every manga, so it's kind of redundant. :P sorry! --ZestyCactus 21:25, 22 January 2012 (UTC)

Projects Merchandise and Manga question

I posted this two weeks ago to the talk pages on both projects but didn't get a response at either one, so hoped you might be able to give me one. If I'm bugging, just let me know.

First, I'm able to scan covers for all 16 English monthly issues of the Electric Tale of Pikachu... but I wasn't sure which resolution would be best for them. I also have second edition versions of the first four issues and a special mini issue of number 3 packaged as a promotion with a gaming magazine. What's a good size for that sort of scan, and should I replace the grainy stock photos?

Secondly, I saw you made a comment saying that you want to catalogue all of the North American DVD and VHS releases. I can provide scans and the info for 80+ of the DVDs, but there's no template to work with. I also have about 10 or so of the Indigo League tapes and volume 4 of the UK's R2 Chronicles release. If someone can cobble a template to work with, I'd happily get cracking on the pages. Triltaison 07:17, 4 March 2012 (UTC)Triltaison

Omg if you could scan those Electric Tale of Pikachu issue covers that would be badass!! (since i only own the first four, lol) I'm not too picky about resolution really, as long as it looks good but isn't too huge it should be fine (pls use .png format) do the second editions look different? and oh i have one of those promos too... maybe don't scan it if it has the same picture on it, but um i have one too from a DVD so i will check it and get back to you on if i think it's "different" enough to scan xD it's definitely worth a mention on the respective page!!

And i'm glad to see you share my dream of cataloguing all the VHS/DVD/BD releases, but what you told me is the exact reason why i haven't started yet (except Pokémon All-Stars and Pokémon Elements)..... it's so daunting, and i have no idea how to organise it! actually, let me know what you think: should they be organised by region, format, or season, or a mix of all three? tell me what your ideas are and i will make you a beautiful table/page(s) that we can work on together :D --ZestyCactus 03:44, 5 March 2012 (UTC)

Also you can replace some of the existing ones that are kind of ugly (re: surf's up pikachu #1 et al) those really ugly ones are actually photos that somebody took and uploaded in 2005 at Bulbapedia's beginnings, but I didn't have any other images for those issues since I don't own them myself so I kept them for now as placeholders. ^^' --ZestyCactus 03:48, 5 March 2012 (UTC)

Yeah, "daunting" isn't even strong enough a word. ^^;

I think the best thing to do would be to have a sort of listing like the manga page, only separated by regions instead of the type of manga (original, anime adaptation, or whatever). Then under the regional headings they'd be grouped by seasons. Since Japan groups Indigo through Masterquest as one series, then the Advanced arc, followed by DP, and then BW, they should be grouped like that for the Japanese DVDs (when we get entries for them). The rest of the world follows the US season divisions, so divide 'em up like that for them. Then have the season link go to a listing of all DVDs available for that season with a page for each volume. For boxsets, do a page for each disc (because each one has different art) while specifying if it's a part of a larger set or available for individual purchase. Perhaps give VHS the same treatment, with a note on each page linking to the DVD release (and the DVD to the VHS) since I think they were the exact same release on different formats. Not sure if it worked that way in other regions, but my Fashion Victims VHS and DVD are exactly the same anyway.

Does that make sense? Triltaison 05:47, 5 March 2012 (UTC)Triltaison

Forgot about the other questions, whoops. The only difference about the second editions is that (for at least EoT and Pikachu Shocks Back) each four issue group was released in a sealed pack together without barcodes. The barcode was on the cardboard stapled to the package opening. They're otherwise identical, but it would probably be good to mention why there are issues floating around without barcodes as a note at least. I can scan them for EoT if you'd really like, though. -And the mini one is about the size of a playing card with only the first four pages of issue 3. The cover has only Brock and Onix from the third issue cover. I thought it might warrant a trivia blurb or note with a possible cover image. Oh! And I've started scanning in my DVDs for preparation. :D Triltaison 03:53, 7 March 2012 (UTC)Triltaison
