Aw, man. Not throughout the summer. Well, as long as this sticks around until October... Meaning, all stupid questions, direct to everyone else. :D TTEchidna

MY SUBPAGE

When did I give permission to EDIT MY SUBPAGE?! That's right, NEVER!!! --CuboneKing 22:25, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

TTE has the authority to edit anything he wants. ^Maverick_Nate 22:36, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

Gee, you'd think that you'd be honored. TTEchidna 22:36, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

Sorry. I am honered, but a bit ticked off that you didn't ask me for permission. I'll go toy around with that fact a bit. --CuboneKing 22:39, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

Either way, you react far too harshly. TTEchidna 22:52, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

Sorry, I lose it sometimes. I've calmed down for now. --CuboneKing 22:54, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

Can

PLease can I edit my userpage...I just want to put in a team for SoulSilver totoRulz 15:06, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

There's enough time to do that before the English releases. TTEchidna 23:09, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

What are we to make of these?

Although rather well made, they're certainly unofficial. They would go well in certain tables though.--MisterE13 23:17, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

Whoa what the...

Officially we can't really use them, since firstly, it never goes into those sprites, and secondly... they're absolutely fanmade. Plus, what tables? TTEchidna 23:19, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

OK! :) Pedraito 23:26, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

They're gone.--MisterE13 15:49, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

New Images

It's Done!!! I finnaly finished with Images of Pokemon's infobox. Like I promised, I put New Images on 150 First Pokemons, Some Pokemons I didn't, Cause the images that already existed were good. Well... If you want find goods Pokemon's Artworks by Ken Sugimori, you should take look in this site: http://pokemon.supercheats.com/pokemon.php?id=25, There are a lot of them. Bye! I hope help this site. Pedraito 00:50, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

Oh man, some of those are even higher res than the ones on the Japanese dex. Are they okay with us using them? TTEchidna 01:31, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

I think that don't have problem, cause They allow images to be copied...If they not wanted they would block copy them. ;) Pedraito 02:35, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

Actually, they are taken from Pokemon.com, which has higher quality all the time than the Japanese one. You just need to extract it from the SWF.--Mew a.k.a. Immewnity was here at 15:26, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

You suck

I don't like you.

Also, did you seriously need the you-know-what sprite for anything on the Pedia, or was it just gonna be in a user template or something? --Darkeiya talk to me! 02:47, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

Are you joking? Don't be dissing the Echidna. He's cool.--Midnight Blue 03:05, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

You're looking for a block. --CuboneKing 03:07, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

He can't block me. I'M INVINCIBLE! --Darkeiya talk to me! 03:08, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

Uh, guys she's kidding. She's his friend. And CK, you can't threaten blocks. --ケンジのガール 03:09, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

I know I can't. I knew this was a joke all along, so I took this to la-la land and threatened a block. Crazy, huh? --CuboneKing 03:11, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

Uh, yeah. --ケンジのガール 03:12, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

This is pointless. --CuboneKing 03:14, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

Dang, I wish I can be like that with my friends. But I was just making sure.--Midnight Blue 03:21, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

Hey about the templates.

Sorry, I'm just not thinking straight right now. I need to stay away from Bulbagarden for a week. So see you in a week.--Midnight Blue 01:59, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

O...kay. That's about the worst reaction I've had to me reminding LT's yet... TTEchidna 02:35, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

Was just checking what you said. What is LT's?--Midnight Blue 02:45, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

Link templates. TTEchidna 03:09, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

Ok, I'm back, Forget everything I said. Hey where can I get an HP bar like yours? I like it.--Midnight Blue 04:09, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

Make it. Learn the code. Go experiment in your sandbox and lurk the MediaWiki metawiki. TTEchidna 04:18, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

Alright thanks.--Midnight Blue 04:19, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

Sorry to bother you, how do I create a Sandbox?--Midnight Blue 04:26, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

Make a new page in your user namespace, like this: User:Midnight Blue/Sandbox.--ForceFire 06:29, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

Thanks, I was thinking it was that way, I was just making sure.--Midnight Blue 06:34, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

Questions about stuff

Hi there. I got some questions about Bulbapedia itself.

1. What happened to Project Overgrow? Never heard of anything on Phase V. 2. Are Pokémon cries going to be implemented anytime soon? Or their implementation is dependent on the current state of Project Overgrow? 3. The prevnexts need to be correctly centered. They're a little moved to the right. 4. What about uploading the soundtracks to the server and make them play (after the visitor/user gives the command to)? Hearing the creepy music while reading the article about Lavender Town can be interesting... =D 5. Are you planning to implement interface changes at the navigation and editing levels like Wikipedia is currently working on? 6. Why are Gen IV Pokémon sprites static? Why aren't the animated versions being used when their respective Crystal and Emerald counterparts are? 6.1. Also, can the white background on Crystal's front sprites be fixed? This also happens with certain back sprites, which could be using the third version counterparts, anyway. 6.2. Since FRLG had different back sprites for some Pokémon like Alakazam and Gyarados, should they be added as well? At least, upload them to the Archive, if they aren't there already. 6.3. I think there should be a better identification of the male and female differences for Gen IV onwards sprites.

That is all for now. =P Pokemon lover 15:27, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

I'm not TTE, but I can answer some of your questions.

• 3. That's probably a browser specific problem, and not so big deal anyway.
• 4. That sounds quite impossible due to copyright concerns.
• 6. Because no one has uploaded them yet. You can do it if you have the patience to copy each frame from the animation and put them together as an image file.
• 6.1. (partial) Sprites can be transparentified on almost any image editor except MS Paint.

UltimateSephiroth ^{(about me · chat · edits)} 15:51, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

1: We don't currently have the software capabilities to implement stage 5.

2: We think that the Pokemon cries are what caused the server to go crazy for about a month, so we're taking it slowly with those.

6.2: Go ahead if you feel like it.

6.3: Such as...?--RexRacer 15:57, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

1. We're trying to get the software, like Rex said.

2. Whenever we get the chance and they don't cause a server explosion.

3. It looks kinda off center, but that's likely an issue with it being 100% of the page width and at least somewhat of an illusion caused by roundycorners.

4. Um, no, absolutely not. It'd be great to do but we kinda don't want Nintendo to kill us-- they do sell the soundtracks for the games, and those songs are on there, so no.

5. I'm not gonna go anywhere near that stuff... not yet at least. If Wikipedia calls it beta, then it's nowhere near ready to be used on Bulba. Wikipedia isn't just the big brother wiki for everyone in that, too... we wait for the stable release of new versions of MediaWiki as well, while Wikipedia goes on and uses new versions even in their alpha stages. If this new interface is part of a future iteration of MediaWiki, then it will come in time.

6. We're not making all the gamesprites gifs because they have crappy colorspace and can't be resized well, so if we were to have them animated, it'd be as pngs. And animated pngs are still somewhat new so there's not many ways to do it. Plus, all the Emerald animations were pretty much assembled by someone, rather than ripped from the game directly. So if you wanna try it... go ahead.

6.1. Get GIMP or Photoshop and get rid of it-- just make sure that you don't accidentally make parts of the Pokémon itself transparent, like what someone did on Mewtwo.

6.2. We're going to have to get a list of Pokémon whose backsprites differ between same-generation games so we can devise a system for those filenames. Then we'll figure out how to put them in the template.

6.3. I don't really know how we could do it... it's on the Pokémon's page under gender differences... if a person can't notice it on the sprites just by looking at them, they should open the two images in different tabs and scroll between. TTEchidna 20:32, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

I hope I'm not too late to this party. There's a whole article full of gender differences right here. All the sprites, of course, are used on the Pokémon's page and you can see them there too. —darklordtrom 04:58, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

I think you can do this, at least bring it up on the forums...

... I would, except what I want to bring up is the problem: Wrong username or password. You have used up your failed login quota! Please wait 15 minutes before trying again. Don't forget that the password is case sensitive. Forgotten your password? Click here!

... however, this was both my first login and was all correct. This is happening in all my browsers. I cleared my cookies, cache, and everything.--Mew a.k.a. Immewnity was here at 15:31, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

I got the exactly same thing when I tried to login earlier today to BMGf. Though you can get there if you have checked the "Remember Me?" box, as I had done on another computer. UltimateSephiroth ^{(about me · chat · edits)} 15:45, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

Still no.--Mew a.k.a. Immewnity was here at 15:57, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

Something probably broke. I'll see what I can do to get it addressed. TTEchidna 20:33, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

the forums got upgraded and there was a minor file that seemily escaped the clutches of the upgrade causing forum log-in problems. it has been fixed now and there shouldnt be anymore problems. -- MAGNEDETH 05:19, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

Hi again! ;)

Hello there I'm back! xD, well, first of all I wanted to tell you what I could do last time we talked, about that mails that never got to you! Anyway, I only wanted to ask you about how to import japanese pokemon games. You said you're going to have SoulSilver as soon as it is out in Japan! I want one too! LOL, so that's what I wanted to ask you, but you never got my mail, and I didn't want to bother you here, because this space isn't here like for chatting :D... so.. how? Could you tell me? I was on vacacion on California last month, so I wanted you to tell me before or while I was there, so I could do whatever I needed to do probably there, since I live in Mexico City and maybe I won't be able to ask for my game here, but you didn't tell me, because you didn't know I asked you! LOL. So, either way, if I can't get them here my cousins that live there, in Huntington Beach could help me out with this :). Please? How? Thanks!!... Sorry to bother you over here! :D YukitoOoO 03:15, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

Import sites, like Play-Asia, are the best place to import the game from. TTEchidna 04:45, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

I hope you don't get mad but, someone had juuuuuust told me about the Play-Asia site LOL I didn't know it existed! But thanks anyway :) Sorry agian ha (Ooops?)YukitoOoO 05:15, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

Bout Something thats Important....

TTE please help me... my Bulbawiki Forum was hacked and its IP address was: 75.126.149.175.. If you can find that guy... please notify me... i remembered opening it last night and then when i try to open it five times with the same Username and Password it didn't open, then back at my Yahoo Mail , Mukashi has sent me a mail that says that a user tried to open my account and it tried 5 times to open it .. another mail arrived saying that my Username and Password where GIO and uyar7xz9... but i realized that that's not my password .. i think it was hacked.... "☆AngelGuardian☆" 06:45, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

Calm down, TTE is not here ATM. Once TTE sees this, he'll get to it ASAP.--ForceFire 07:06, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

I love how everyone comes to me now. Anyway, don't freak out. It was a server error. That IP address is the IP address of Bulbagarden itself, "Mukashi" is better known as Mr. Bossman Archaic. We were updating the forum software and one file got hung up and blew everyone out of it... as you can see from everyone assuming that I was the best person to talk to about this... somehow.

So don't freak. Log in normally as you would. It's fine now. TTEchidna 07:26, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

Is there

Is there a way to remove the Bulba logo from the top of the page, and change it to something else. You can in Uncyclopedia, and I was wondering if you could on this wiki to. Also, theres a glitch in the Sig expand process. <span class="sigexpand"> . It wouldnt work like it suppose to. If I type in

 
[[User:ShinyPikachu| <span class="sigexpand"><span style="color:Red;"><big>S</big><span class="sighidden">hiny </span></span>
<span style="color:Blue;"><small>P</small><span class="sighidden"><small>ikachu</small></span></span>]][[User talk:ShinyPikachu
|<span style="color:Black;"><big>'''h'''</big><span class="sighidden">'''ello'''</span>]]

the result is Shiny Pikachuhello

As you can see, it desplays the full signature, instead of making it expandable. If you could fix this glitch, it would be appreciated.

--Thank-you for your time _ShinyPika 18:11, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

First answer, that'd be in your CSS. You can change that at User:ShinyPikachu/monobook.css if you want. Second answer, that's because we don't have a span class of "sigexpand" defined. If you get the definition for it for me I can see about getting it put into the definitions of the classes, but currently, no. TTEchidna 19:06, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

2 small questions...

1: I'm interested in donating my spare time to adding party templates to the necessary articles. However, I have no freaking clue how to use them. Could you please help me with that? I have tried several things on the sandbox, but to no avail =/

2: How do I heal your Shaymin? =3 Sidnoea 07:05, 1 September 2009 (UTC)

Wait until we've upgraded them. Then I'll set up directions. Second off, you can't. It faints when I run out of talk space. TTEchidna 07:08, 1 September 2009 (UTC)

Okay then. Thanks. Sidnoea 19:19, 1 September 2009 (UTC)

Archives Cleanup Month ???

Hey TT, i have noticed (On Bulbagarden Archieves) that you have declared July as Archieve Cleanup month. I think it should be removed or edited now because July even august is over now and september has been started, so i think you should edit it now. I am just giving you a suggestion. --♫♪Adyniz♪♫ 12:11, 1 September 2009 (UTC)

No, it's still July. Archives aren't clean yet. TTEchidna 18:51, 1 September 2009 (UTC)

Okay.--♫♪Adyniz♪♫ 13:28, 2 September 2009 (UTC)

Requestion: Template talk:TMchart#PBR. - unsigned comment from LaprasBoi (talk • contribs)

Proposed evobox edit

I find myself frequently trying to click on the sprite of the Pokémon, not the name... So I propose you change every line that reads like [[Image:{{{1|001}}}.png]] to instead read as such: [[Image:{{{1|001}}}.png|link={{{2|Bulbasaur}}}]]

So instead of:

We would get:

i.e. clicking the Bulbasaur sprite will lead us directly to the Bulbasaur page. Pages already including the evobox would not need to be changed, because '2' is defined as the name of the Pokémon, and, because I used 'link=2', that means the pages would already have the correct value defined for the image link to work.

What do you think of this? Marluxia.Kyoshu 15:14, 4 September 2009 (UTC) (Template talk:evobox/2 Marluxia.Kyoshu 15:18, 4 September 2009 (UTC))

I'll put it in next chance I get. By the way, the link would be to Bulbasaur (Pokémon). TTEchidna 23:57, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

So yeah you would need [[Image:{{{1|001}}}.png|link={{{2|Bulbasaur}}}_(Pokémon)]] I appreciate it :3 Marluxia.Kyoshu 23:26, 5 September 2009 (UTC)

Help

I want to change my page [1] from Sprites I've Uploaded to Images I've Uploaded. Is there any way I can change the title, or do I have to make a new page?--I'm Pokélova^{(Talk to me)} 13:30, 5 September 2009 (UTC)

Click the "Move" tab to scoot the page to a new title. Just do us a favor and mark the old page for deletion when you do that (since moving will turn the old title into a needless redirect). -- Jïörüjï Ðērākō.>.cнаt^ 19:10, 5 September 2009 (UTC)

It was already moved earlier, so don't worry about it any more. R.A. Hunter Blade 19:51, 5 September 2009 (UTC)
