Bulbapedia talk:Project Locations

Project page Project talk To-do list List of Locations This is the Project Locations talk page. If you have any suggestions, inquiries, or questions, please don't hesitate to ask. "Episodes Featuring" and "Trivia" I think it would be cool to add those sections. Just a suggestion. If you don't mind, I'd like to also add a map section so I can add them to the location articles as they get completed.--LynnCreed 11:01, 9 April 2008 (UTC) Episodes featured would be a good place to start, certainly. The maps, well, we'll see after we get all the non-game places, eh? TTEchidna 21:28, 9 April 2008 (UTC) Almia Almia REALLY needs some editing. There are so many pages that don't exist, and the ones that do are stubs. It HAS come out in Japan, you know. We DO have access to this info. Even though we might not know the English names of these places, there should at least be information on them! TorchicBlaziken (talk) Header/sidenav options font size on project page Just noticed in the project page that the header and sidenav options font sizes are notably decreased. Currently happening in Firefox, IE and Opera.     -–<×vVvvv τλικ to ς1tHςι4γ3r ^^vVv×>–- 05:56, 21 January 2009 (UTC) Narrowed the culprit down to the Locationstub template. Take the template out and the page is fine. Shall check the template code as the other stub templates aren't giving their Project pages the same problem.     -–<×vVvvv τλικ to ς1tHςι4γ3r ^^vVv×>–- 16:22, 25 January 2009 (UTC) Best Practice Article Is there a best practice article that all the other article should look up to?--Clarky13 22:51, 31 January 2009 (UTC) Yes, there is Clarky. Look on the project page. It has been updated.--Clarky13 09:22, 23 February 2009 (UTC) Now who's crazy...? Nice job on the update though. — THE TROM — 06:28, 24 February 2009 (UTC) But regarding the best practice article, both Cerulean Cave and Turnback Cave are missing information from the Pokemon section of each article.... I'm not sure if you'd call that best practice, but the rest of the article looks alright. — THE TROM — 06:32, 24 February 2009 (UTC) I like them because they have a wide range of galleries of each floor and room. And I'm not crazy, at least I have a userpage :p--Clarky13 06:43, 24 February 2009 (UTC) Confusion about a few things I edited Pallet Town awhile ago and the other day I was thinking, why are Gary's battles listed there, shouldn't they be on Professor Oak's Laboratory, I mean, isn't that standard for these situations, kind of like Jubilife TV? Speaking of that, shouldn't the Pokémon you get from Oak be on the Lab page too, and also why are the Pokémon party boxes like they are here, and not how they are done normally?--Spriteit 11:14, 3 April 2009 (UTC) Well, it says on the data screen that your starter Pokemon is received in Pallet Town, not Oak's lab. I guess the battle is listed for similar reasons. — THE TROM — 04:39, 4 April 2009 (UTC) But the battle and getting of Pokémon clearly happens in Oak's Lab, even though it says Pallet Town, that could be just a generalisation. --Spriteit 23:53, 5 April 2009 (UTC) In the game, Professor Oak's Laboratory isn't a location, it is still Pallet Town.--Clarky13 01:01, 10 April 2009 (UTC) Gen I maps Can someone please tell me how can I get the different maps of the locations in Generation I? It's because between RG, B, and Y, they're different. I need all 3 variants of the maps (RG, B, and Y - Japanese versions) because I'm uploading the games' soundtrack on YouTube but I also want to put pictures of the maps in the tracks of locations. That's why I need them in all their variants, from the Japanese versions and preferably in black and white like the Gen I maps present on the 'pedia's articles. Pokemon lover 14:46, 23 May 2009 (UTC) Some articles have maps, some don't. If you have a map, upload it, please.--Clarky13 07:51, 8 June 2009 (UTC) Gen IV maps I think there are quite a few maps from Gen IV which generally suck. And by suck, I am of course referring to maps which are not at 1:1 ratio, maps which are incredibly blurry, maps which were blatantly scanned out of some guide, maps which are scribbled over, maps which have massive JPEG compression artifacts, etc. My suggestion: look at some of Cadellin's maps, and consider that quality to be your goal when making maps. To start this off, I will be posting a new map of Eterna Forest either tonight or tomorrow morning (it's currently just past 11 o'clock here). Yes, I know Cadellin made the old map, but it was not very good quality. Definitely not his/her best work. Still, his/her other work is absolutely beautiful. See Valley Windworks for an example. Anyways, I'm new to Bulbapedia (not to Wikipedia), but I'm here to contribute. Nuck Chorris 06:17, 1 August 2009 (UTC) Okay, I uploaded it to Bulbagarden Archives (a:Image:EternaForest.png), but on the old image, a:Image:Eterna Forest.png, I don't know what to do. On Wikipedia I know you'd tag it with {{Superseded-image}}, but that template doesn't seem to exist on Bulbapedia/Bulbagarden Archives. So, what should I do with the old image? Don't worry, I can assure you mine is far better quality. Oh, also, there is a side route which the Pokémon games consider part of Eterna Forest, but which were not included on the old map, and are really not covered by any map/article. I have a bunch of unused space at the top left corner of the map, so should I put an inset there for that side route? I know I use that side route all the time, plus there is a 4-tile patch of soft, fertile soil there, along with a girl who gives you an item, I think something for fashion or one of the other things with no purpose besides cosmetics. Please help! Nuck Chorris 02:03, 2 August 2009 (UTC) First of all, thanks for the great quality of work you have put in. I really love it and hope t see more of it. Secondly, Bulbapedia isn't Wikipedia. There is a difference between the two, we want more of an aesthetical lean toward them, but we are not like Wikipedia. When uploading images on the Archives, you can replace the first one and upload over it. Now, as for your side route problem, you can add a section to the Geography section, add a bit of info and then add the picture as a thumbnail on the side, because its not really needed in the infobox.--Clarky13 06:56, 8 August 2009 (UTC) Pokémon World (Mystery Dungeon) Shouldn't this be counted as a region, since it is seperate from all the others??--Smartkidhen 20:10, 28 December 2009 (UTC) I thinks so. It should be added to the To-Do list for the project.--Spotman234 08:18:25 December 2009 (UTC) But there are more than two worlds, the one from PMD (Pokémon Mystery Dungeon)Red/Blue, and now the ones from PMD Time/Darkness/Sky. So, they have to be distinguishable from one game to the next, otherwise, it would be a mess. Sky needs ALOT of updating on Sky peak. Accessory items that pokemon can pick up at (location) - HG/SS This kind of goes for Project Routes too, but I've noticed that in HG/SS the pokemon that's walking with you, when you talk to it, will sometimes give you an accessory item. I've been playing it for a while and, from what I've seen, what it gives you depends on the route/location you're in. I think it'd be really convenient if there were a section for what the pokemon will pick up in the specific location, just like there's usually one for non-accessory items that can be found at said location. I'd be willing to help with this, too, as I already know some of the things you always find in certain locations. And with the help of the Accessory page, I can find out their official English translations (I'm playing the Japanese version, lol). KazeHaru Hime (talk) [Talk page maintenance: new comments go to the bottom, and you sign your comments by writing ~~~~. See this page.] This would be useful. If you can gather together the information on a user subpage, we'll be able to work it into the articles. —darklordtrom 07:08, 2 February 2010 (UTC) How about a template for event-only locations? Okay so I figure we don't have a huge number of event-only locations in the whole Pokémon world. These are kinda important because if someone wants to explore the world, these are going to be the locations that are hardest to visit. I actually counted just 11: Navel Rock, Birth Island, Shinto Ruins, Southern Island, Faraway Island, Rock Peak Ruins, Iceberg Ruins, Iron Ruins, Newmoon Island, Flower Paradise and Hall Of Origin. Would it be appropriate to make a navigation template linking these locations? Kidburla 20:33, 22 February 2010 (UTC) I'm not a member of this Project, but I would rather see a Category:Event-only locations than another chunky template taking up more space than the text in the article. —darklordtrom 10:05, 23 February 2010 (UTC) Additional trainer data Hi all, I'm new around here, but not to wikis in general. I have loads of trainer data for generations I-III including all of the rematch information for generation III. I noticed that only the first encounters with trainers is usually listed on each location page. Is there interest in adding rematch data at some point? It would seem consistent to do something similar to what is done with the different movesets among generations, i.e. make a sub-page for each generation's rematches. For example, for Route 117 the URL would be something like [[Route 1/Emerald_rematches]]. Any interest? Or should I just throw out all my trainer data I've been sitting on for 7 years? --PagodaGiftShop 22:55, 11 March 2010 (UTC)
