WTF


Ultimate Goal of the Month

HoennIIIE.png

Articles about Hoenn routes, cities, and locations are looking down in the dumps. Why don't we quality them up before the storm of Generation V comes. Every little bit of information counts, so when you've got some time, expand some articles and make them a little better than stub status.

Stub of the Month

Snowpoint Temple

Snowpoint Temple (Japanese: キッサキしんでん Kissaki Temple) is a location in Snowpoint City. It is the home of the legendary Pokémon Regigigas, which can only be awakened for battle if the player brings along all three of Hoenn's legendary golems. The player cannot enter the Temple without defeating Cynthia as well as obtaining the National Pokédex, and even then, Regigigas will not awaken without the Hoenn trio present. The temple is very extensive, and has many puzzles involving sliding on ice.

Structure

Infobox information

Articles should use {{Infobox location}}, and all known information should be supplied. A example Infobox is shown below.

Main section

Untitled section that describes the location. Depending on the location, this section may just describe where it is located in the Pokémon world and basic details regarding the area, or may go into considerable detail. Regardless, all text describing the location should be in this section.

Geography

A geographical description of the location, including similarities to places in reality. This is to include all parts of the location.

Items

A list of items found in this location as well as a description of where the items are. These are to be placed in dot points with a short description on how to find it.

Pokémon

A list of Pokémon that appear in this location as well as encounter rates and times of encounter if possible. Lists should be separated by Generation using third-level headlines. If the route appeared in only one Generation, then the Generation heading is not necessary. See Route 1 and Route 132 for examples of tables.

Lists should be organized in order of location, then highest to lowest encounter rate. If the encounter rate for a Pokémon is lower in a different game, a repeat of the entry should be made directly underneath except with that particular game highlighted (instead of in the initial entry), and the different encounter rate stated. In the case of multiple Pokémon with the same encounter rate, Pokémon should be listed in order of games they are available in, then their National Pokédex number.

Trainers

A list of trainers, using the appropriate template. They should be separated by Generation using third-level headlines. If the route appeared in only one Generation, then the Generation heading is not necessary.

Differences among Generations

If the location was featured in multiple versions and Generations of Pokémon, the differences between those should be discussed here. A gallery of different generations can be placed here to show the differences.

Templates

Infobox

The Infobox to use for this project is {{Infobox location}}.

This is the basic syntax you need to get a complete routebox on the article page, just place this before any other text and fill in the variables.

{{Infobox location
|image=
|type=
|location_name=
|japanese_name=
|translated_name=
|location=
|region=
|generation=
}}
Safari Zone サファリゾーン

Map description: {{{mapdesc}}}
Location: North of Fuchsia City
Region: Kanto
Generations: I, III

Location of Safari Zone in Kanto.
Pokémon world locations

For the above parameters, here's what you should fill in:

  • image: name of an image for the location on Bulbagarden Archives
  • type: is the type of place the location is located on, or what it is - land, road, water, or cave. This determines how the infobox is colored. (If omitted, color is white.)
  • location_name: name of the location
  • japanese_name: Japanese name of the location
  • translated_name: Romanization of the location's Japanese name
  • other_info: (optional) use for alternate names, an additional descriptor, etc.
  • location: a brief description of where the article location is found
  • region: the region that the location is in
  • generation: a list of all generations of games this location has appeared in. Handy template shortcuts include {{subst:Gen|I}} for Generation I, {{subst:Gen|II}} for Generation II, and {{subst:Gen|III}} for Generation III.

By completing the infobox as follows, you'll get a routebox like the one to the right.

{{Infobox location
|image=FL Safari Zone.png
|type=land
|location_name=Safari Zone
|japanese_name=サファリゾーン
|translated_name=Safari Zone
|location=North of [[Fuchsia City]]
|region=Kanto
|generation={{Gen|I}}, {{Gen|III}}
}}
