Template:HeldItems

It's lacking the two fields for those version-exclusive Pokémon from Diamond and Pearl. Marked +-+-+ (talk) 15:25, 4 January 2013 (UTC)

To my knowledge this only applies to Magby/Elekid, whose pages already seem to have a different method of handling it. Is it needed? --SnorlaxMonster 11:44, 5 January 2013 (UTC)

Glameow has Cheri Berry, and is exclusive to Pearl. Stunky holds Pecha, exclusive to Diamond. Marked +-+-+ (talk) 11:54, 5 January 2013 (UTC)

Oh, I see. Version exclusives' held items, not version-exclusive held items. Updated. --SnorlaxMonster 12:18, 5 January 2013 (UTC)

Not exactly. Changing "dp1" to "d1" for Mightyena gave me Soothe Bell instead of Pecha Berry. Marked +-+-+ (talk) 12:26, 5 January 2013 (UTC) PS. And yes, field has Pecha Berry (with 5%; while Soothe Bell has... 100%). Marked +-+-+ (talk) 12:30, 5 January 2013 (UTC)

Should be fixed now. --SnorlaxMonster 12:31, 5 January 2013 (UTC)

About my new BerryInfobox

Any word on it? I'll probably need to work it back into a template though... --Abcboy (talk) 06:25, 5 January 2013 (UTC)

I haven't gotten it approved (or tried to), no. Making the templates would be a good idea though. Maybe use {{berries color}} rather than the blue that's already there though? --SnorlaxMonster 11:44, 5 January 2013 (UTC)

I've changed all but the Berry locations template to use the Berry colors. To make it support both Berries exclusive to Generation III and those exclusive to Generation IV and beyond, practically all of them are completely collapsed. --Abcboy (talk) 18:04, 5 January 2013 (UTC)

Something else: should we have Sevii Isle 1 redirect to Kindle Road or is that too much of a stretch? Also, should the list of routes reflect the index number ordering? --Abcboy (talk) 22:23, 6 January 2013 (UTC)

Go ahead and put all the templates on their own pages; unfortunately only the Editorial Board can authorize userspace policy exclusions, so I suggest you ask one of them. Once you've given the templates their own subpages, fix up the Pecha Berry example you made; it's hard for people to really judge it if you haven't got it set up completely. As for Sevii Isle redirects, I doubt anyone would be searching using them so I don't think they're necessary. I don't like the number of things the List of routes in the Pokémon world includes anyway, but I suppose reflecting the internal ordering would be a good idea. --SnorlaxMonster 06:13, 7 January 2013 (UTC)

Werdnae has given me permission to grant you an exemption from the userspace limit for splitting the templates off your page. --SnorlaxMonster 06:54, 7 January 2013 (UTC)

Thank you! I'll get that done soon. --Abcboy (talk) 20:22, 7 January 2013 (UTC)

Hey, can you tell me whether the following situations are worthy of their own warning templates?

Editing a page multiple times but in different sections each time
Not using link templates
To use better grammar/spelling
Having userspace content in the user talk namespace
Adding something, removing it, then adding it back

I could easily type up a message for each of these, but some of them are prevalent enough that I have to type them out repeatedly. Any opinions? --Abcboy (talk) 00:29, 24 January 2013 (UTC)

Editing a page multiple times but in different sections each time - maybe
Not using link templates - sure
To use better grammar/spelling - no, because this typically requires pointing out specific issues
Having userspace content in the user talk namespace - maybe
Adding something, removing it, then adding it back - I don't think it's necessary

Any that you think you want please make in the userspace first. --SnorlaxMonster 13:48, 14 March 2013 (UTC)

B button glitch removal

I'd like to know your rationale for removing three B-button related glitches from the List of glitches in Generation V page. All three alter the behavior of the NPCs in some way or another that is not listed or mentioned in the games in any way by anybody. Chicobo329 (talk) 11:18, 7 January 2013 (UTC)

Replied on the talk page. I had intended to anyway, but I was going to wait until I had done further cleanup of the page. However, I may have ended up forgetting, so thanks for reminding me. Anyway, I may have been a bit too stern in my edit summary; I know that there had been a debate about it, and it had been removed and readded before (well, a while ago), so I was trying to ensure there was not an edit war. --SnorlaxMonster 16:09, 7 January 2013 (UTC)

I read the talk page and this. So you're just going on the safe side! I don't completely agree with the reasoning but I will respect your decision and I certainly start any edit wars over it. Chicobo329 (talk) 22:31, 7 January 2013 (UTC)

a question

I was wondering about adding a personality section to Zinzolin's page. There is certainly enough to work with there, but I noticed many villians do not have this section. My question is, should I add this section to Zinzolin's page, and possibly others? Icestar649 (talk) 20:58, 7 January 2013 (UTC)

Sorry about the late response, but we don't usually do personality sections on game characters. I don't think Zinzolin needs one right now, but maybe all game characters could get personality sections at a later time. --SnorlaxMonster 04:26, 16 January 2013 (UTC)

Thank you very much for your response. Icestar649 (talk) 20:39, 16 January 2013 (UTC)

G1event

Needs to include Pikachu; as it's Berry if traded from RB, and Light Ball if from Yellow. (well, at least it was that way in article before all the changes and splites) Marked +-+-+ (talk) 20:47, 9 January 2013 (UTC)

Non-issue. It is already set up for Pikachu (as seen here), and was even set up at the time you sent this message. --SnorlaxMonster 13:44, 14 March 2013 (UTC)

Berryloc

Lacks third field for wilderness in Gen III (Oran Berry; Shuckle has 100%, Raticate* has 50% while Sentret and Zigzagoon have 5%). I would do this myself, but I don't want to break anything on that template. Marked +-+-+ (talk) 10:12, 12 January 2013 (UTC)

Looks like you've handled this now. --SnorlaxMonster 13:45, 14 March 2013 (UTC)

Pokémon Dream Radar

Yesterday when I was with my friend to whom I've been helping with the Dream Radar stuff, I've had six Items, Six Regular Pokémon, Landorus, and all Five Generation IV legendaries and only the Items and all 6 legendaries went during the first data transfer, so I don't know if more legendaries can be sent. -Tyler53841 (talk) 14:11, 12 January 2013 (UTC)

Yeah, I don't know what would happen if you had more than 6 legendary Pokémon. I'm fairly sure only 6 could be transferred, but I don't know if a new row is added. --SnorlaxMonster 14:14, 12 January 2013 (UTC)

But in other news I do know that the amount of Dream Orbs collected is what opens the other extensions and with each member of the Kami Trio a lot more is needed for their extensions which will be difficult to pin down correctly. I mean I made two runs during the late night the previous night and I barely got things ready when I went to go meet my friend even with the amount of Dream Clouds I have. If you want you could mention the waiting time for the Dream Clouds since it starts at 45 minutes max, for all clouds to be ready with 4, 25 minute upgrades that increases it up to 145 minutes or 2 hrs. 25 min. I'll take care of the final beam upgrade coloring when I get to it, right now I am over 500 Dream Orbs. -Tyler53841 (talk) 14:23, 12 January 2013 (UTC)

The regeneration time is just one cloud every five minutes. I had read on other sites that they are unlocked with total Dream Orbs (and it is implied in the manual), but it is better not to use other site's info. Unfortunately the amounts are not specified in-game or in the manual. --SnorlaxMonster 14:53, 12 January 2013 (UTC)

Good idea, and by the way I was at least over 3,000 Dream Orbs when I caught Landorus, but there isn't enough proof to accurately estimate each amount without risking speculation. The unlock method for those extensions might just have to use just simple explanations. -Tyler53841 (talk) 14:58, 12 January 2013 (UTC)

I just wanted to say thanks for the help and pretty much the Dream Radar page is mostly complete. -Tyler53841 (talk) 03:50, 14 January 2013 (UTC)

This just in. If you use five play coins from the 3DS, then it can be used to instantly regenerate all of the remaining Dream Clouds that still need to regenerate. Since I don't know much about how to get play coins it is the reason I am sending you a message since I recently got my 3DS and don't have much experience on these matters yet. -Tyler53841 (talk) 01:14, 17 January 2013 (UTC)

Oh, that's not already in the article? I knew that you could do that. As for how to get them: the 3DS has a pedometer built into it; if you walk around with the 3DS on in your pocket, you can get up to 10 Play Coins per day. --SnorlaxMonster 02:18, 17 January 2013 (UTC)

That would explain what happened after I forgot to turn the 3DS off, but yeah I checked the article first to avoid sending a pointless message. -Tyler53841 (talk) 02:32, 17 January 2013 (UTC)

Took care of it as best I could, if you wish to improve it go ahead I won't mind. -Tyler53841 (talk) 02:37, 17 January 2013 (UTC)

Xerneas and Yveltal talk

Can you please check the latest Xerneas and Yveltal talk if you have some spare time? Some nice contents to add and discuss, we'd like to hear you out. Thanks. Tano (talk) 20:31, 12 January 2013 (UTC)

Ghetsis as Royalty

How do you know that it's a translation typo?

Jdogno4 (talk) 01:11, 13 January 2013 (UTC)

Because I got the Japanese text and translated it myself, and it says "loyal". So it coming up as "royal" in English must of have been a typo (you could call it a mistranslation, but I'd rather assume typo since royal and loyal are one character away). --SnorlaxMonster 06:36, 13 January 2013 (UTC)

Fair enough. Understood. Jdogno4 (talk) 23:49, 13 January 2013 (UTC)

Shiny chances

SnorelaxMonster, I was wondering If you could tell me what the chances of obtaining a Shiny Charmander and Shiny Eevee in Pokemon FireRed? Thanks,PokeCat3333 (talk) 12:35, 14 January 2013 (UTC)♥

Refer here. While starting a discussion on another topic,do so in a new section.Auraguardian 197 14:42, 14 January 2013 (UTC)

Two things.

1)As I mentioned earlier, it might be good idea to update the pages for some species not from Unova (the changed exp yield, as currently pages have the Gen IV yield as far as I know, while the EV yield list has Gen V yield)

2)Lum Berry - Not sure if to delete these wild, because none of these Pokémon are legitimately found within a game (with one exception, which can be left out as it's legit). It says "This is in the data. Don't take it out.", but do we list these impossible things (eg. Kingdra for Generation III and IV games) on species' pages? No, we list that here instead, including Berries. Marked +-+-+ (talk) 13:59, 17 January 2013 (UTC)

We should have notes on List of Pokémon by effort value yield for the new values (I'm not really sure about that situation).
No, I don't think we should list those held items on species pages. Not visibly at least—I don't mind if they're hidden and noted as being hidden because they are unobtainable. --SnorlaxMonster 13:43, 14 March 2013 (UTC)

Oops!

Thought I fixed that error, but you were right to undo that. I should look more carefully next time before adding back an error I thought I took care of... T_T It happens, I guess. Berrenta (talk) 03:33, 21 January 2013 (UTC)

Why?

Why did you change my userpage pic? Arceus101 (talk) 20:16, 21 January 2013 (UTC)

The picture there was low quality and unused elsewhere. Since we don't allow personal images, it was deleted so I replaced it with another image of Pikachu (although the image I removed was not the original image anyway; Spriteit had replaced your original image with it when it was deleted for being a personal image). --SnorlaxMonster 08:34, 22 January 2013 (UTC)

EXTREMELY IMPORTANT!!!

Looks like 173penguin, who happens to be new at the website... well, I think you remember the story, as recently you undid many prejudicial edits by him to the Missingno. page. But he didn't understand, so did the same thing again, with a much bigger number of edits (now I've told him on his talk page that he shouldn't do that kind of edits), and now the whole top of the history page (except for a failed attempt of putting an end to that) is covered by less-than-begginer edits. Well, I don't want to manualy undo each edit (would clog up and... you know, probably skip at least one... whatever-it wouldn't be nice), so could you please, as a staff member, revert again to the last edit before all of that and put a quick end to this nightmare? TheOriginalOne 00:18, 27 January 2013 (UTC)

I've rollbacked him. I won't leave him a message since you already have and there is another message about the preview button. Also, if you want to undo a lot of edits, rather than undoing them all individually, you can view an old revision then click the Edit tab; this then puts the old revision in the edit box, so you can just save and take the article back to how it was then. --SnorlaxMonster 01:36, 27 January 2013 (UTC)

Ah... I just talked to you because I didn't find out how to do it, and so I tought only staff members could rollback on that way... well, anyway, thanks for both things. TheOriginalOne 00:07, 2 February 2013 (UTC)

Just to clarify, only staff can rollback, but the method I provided works for everyone. --SnorlaxMonster 11:41, 11 February 2013 (UTC)

Eevee

Figured it can't hurt to get a staff member's opinion on this, if you don't mind. :) Drake Clawfang (talk) 05:14, 27 January 2013 (UTC)

So, I made a template for 7-member stat comparison here, and tested it here, looks good to me. If it's satisfactory all that needs to be done I think is move it to a mainspace template. Drake Clawfang (talk) 03:12, 11 February 2013 (UTC)

There were a few parameters using the wrong color (making it really hard to read Umbreon's name due to being in Water blue, for example), but I've fixed them. I also replaced all the align= code with text-align: and margin:auto. I like it and think it should be fine to use. --SnorlaxMonster 11:41, 11 February 2013 (UTC)

Cool. So, do I make the template, or does a staff member have to? Drake Clawfang (talk) 13:05, 11 February 2013 (UTC)

Also, it appears the bars are not aligning properly for the stats, that is to say, some of the 60 and 65 bars are the same length as the 95 and+ bars and vice-versa. Drake Clawfang (talk) 13:09, 11 February 2013 (UTC)

Fixed that issue and implemented it. There's no rule that only staff members can implement templates, it's just better that they do if the change is controversial or widespread; if unsure, better to check with a staff member. Also, it's a good idea to check with a staff member first if you're inexperienced with templates (like I get the indication you are from your template). --SnorlaxMonster 14:29, 11 February 2013 (UTC)

Aye, why I posted it here. :) I know enough about basic wikia coding (like, I understand how to change the colors and numbers on that template), but the more complex stuff like how you make those bars appear, no idea how that's done. Thanks for cleaning it up. Drake Clawfang (talk) 22:28, 11 February 2013 (UTC)

It's a bit disappointing that now the template has to be redone to include the Sylveon as well. Oh well, at least it can wait until we get its base stats (which likely won't be until after the release). --SnorlaxMonster 16:33, 14 February 2013 (UTC)

Missing Abilities

Two missing Abilities are quite disturbing me at the momement: Greta's Heracross's Ability, plus the Ability of the wild Electrode that can be encountered at the Battle Pike. I almost saw Heracross's Ability in one video when a Trainer sent out Gardevoir, but obviously it didn't have Trace, so too bad. I think it could be Swarm, since I don't notice any kind of attack boost during status conditions, but I can't be sure if I've missed something. Do you know some person, possibly in Bulbapedia, who could know enough about this, or at least offer some clues, have an access to the Emerald version, or at least something? Thank you. Sorry if I disturbed you in the middle of something important. --FinnishPokéFan92 (talk) 18:31, 4 February 2013 (UTC)

I wasn't even there, so you didn't disturb me. I have Emerald, but I've never really been that good at the Battle Frontier in Emerald—I got up to Noland and Lucy once each (this is mostly due to my team sucking). I don't personally know anyone who could do this, but all it needs is someone with a cheating device to go into the Battle Frontier and force catch them. The Electrode however I had always assumed would just have a random Ability due to being a wild Pokémon. Greta... it's fairly hard to test that without something like Transform, Trace or Skill Swap unless you're cheating. If anyone knows though, it's probably Jumpman16; he's got a reputation for being pretty experienced with battle facilities. --SnorlaxMonster 11:10, 5 February 2013 (UTC)

Thank you so much. Even though it seems that he hasn't been active for a week or two, I'll leave a message on his talk page, and wait for the answer. Arigato! --FinnishPokéFan92 (talk) 16:18, 5 February 2013 (UTC)

usertag error?

I noticed that the "does not like mudkip" usertag when used in a userpage displays the text as "This user does NOT liek Mudkipz". As you can see there are obvious errors but nobody has corrected them. Can you tell me why ? Hope I'm not disturbing you!Auraguardian197 17:28, 9 February 2013 (UTC)

Grammar dispute

Okay, we'll agree to disagree and it will be left on that note. Jdogno4 (talk) 00:47, 11 February 2013 (UTC)

This reply indicates that you misunderstood the issue. This is not a matter of opinion, it is a mater of fact. And it is a fact that Iris's is just as grammatically correct as Iris'. Choosing to use Iris's or Iris' is a matter of opinion, but the fact that they are both correct is not. Here is the source Jo provided one your talk page, which explains that they are both correct. The Oatmeal has a comic where he points out both are acceptable.

Now since it is a matter of preference as to which is used, the reason we use s's is that it is less ambiguous and easier to template. TTE always liked to point out that James' Carnevine could belong to one person named James or more than one Jame, whereas James's Carnevine belongs to James. Also, templates like {{TP}} and {{OP}} all template in <name>'s <pokemon>, so it makes it far easier to template for the pages if they are titled with s's. --SnorlaxMonster 11:41, 11 February 2013 (UTC)

Tamato Berries on Route 5

Some users have been questioning the availability of Tamato Berries on Unova Route 5 through the Pokemon Breeder. I have received them from her in the past but I never thought it to be an issue where I'd have to get some video proof over it until now. Until I get them again from her and get some video proof (I am trying every day), what can I do to appease the others on the talkpage that seem to want more verification? Should I keep the Tamato information up or remove it? Chicobo329 (talk) 03:30, 11 February 2013 (UTC)

It's quite possible the chances are based on ID number. Anyway, you can soft reset and get different Berries every time, so I tried that a lot but came up with no Tamato Berries. Until we actually get someone getting Tamato Berries again, it's probably best it gets removed. --SnorlaxMonster 11:41, 11 February 2013 (UTC)

Random Pokemon Template

May I please use it on my Userpage?TurtleLover1999 (talk) 16:24, 17 February 2013 (UTC)

Sure. There are a bunch of people already doing so anyway (although I do like it when people ask permission before just taking it). --SnorlaxMonster 16:25, 17 February 2013 (UTC)

Struggle

Needs cleaning up because someone didn't check earlier games and now we have a mess with what is new in Gen IV and what actually was there since earlier Generations. Marked +-+-+ (talk) 12:04, 21 February 2013 (UTC)

Small question

Do we really need the redirect page Backpack? The command has always been called either BAG, PACK, or ITEMS. TheShinyRoggenrola (talk) 19:58, 9 March 2013 (UTC)

Well, primarily it is probably for the item in the anime. It doesn't do any harm existing, so I'm fine with it. --SnorlaxMonster 01:42, 10 March 2013 (UTC)

At the very least, I think it would make a bit more sense to move the redirect to Pack, which would coexist a bit better with the games. TheShinyRoggenrola (talk) 12:43, 10 March 2013 (UTC)

There is now a redirect from pack as well. There is no limit on the number of redirects to a page. --SnorlaxMonster 12:47, 10 March 2013 (UTC)

Template:Moveentry/Level2

Needs note for normal Kyurem. While the fusions learn the fusion moves at Lv. 43, normal Kyurem learns instead Scary Face. And since I can't edit it... Marked +-+-+ (talk) 15:50, 13 March 2013 (UTC) PS. Glaciate could use that note, though it's already mentioned to be normal Kyurem signature. Marked +-+-+ (talk) 15:53, 13 March 2013 (UTC)

Done. --SnorlaxMonster 13:37, 14 March 2013 (UTC)

Not really evident and "slightly opinionated"?

What do you mean by "not really evident" in relation to Arceus' behavior? Jdogno4 (talk) 05:28, 16 March 2013 (UTC)

What is "slightly opinionated" about Arceus'(M12) personality and characteristics? Jdogno4 (talk) 05:32, 16 March 2013 (UTC)

"intelligent, heroic and benevolent" are all subjective, unless they are used officially. And I don't think those traits were overly evident in the movie either. --SnorlaxMonster 10:30, 16 March 2013 (UTC)

Redone GB Sounds article

Do you like it? Your template needs some improvements, though. The Dream World artwork should be an optional parameter and there must be a way to specify that an item is only available in a given generation. SatoMew 17:08, 16 March 2013 (UTC)

Also, I tried performing the GB Sounds glitch on my European English HeartGold and it seems to be fixed. So you might want to check that out on the American English and other localizations to confirm if it is only present in the Japanese versions. SatoMew 00:51, 17 March 2013 (UTC)

Overall I like your page; I hadn't really planned for it to be used on pages without artwork (most items have DW art, key items in Gen V have key item obtain sprites, and most other key items at least have some form of artwork like the Old Sea Chart). I've set up the template to include an exception for items with no art, but it doesn't look as nice anymore.

I have done the glitch before in my Australian version (which is probably the same as the European one), and just tried it then and it worked. I had a lot of trouble figuring out how to get it to work originally (see User talk:TheOriginalOne#GB Sounds glitch, and that's not the only conversation we had about it), but it does occur. Chances are the issue you're having is the same as mine was: the glitch will not occur if you use the GB Sounds as a registered item; you must open the Bag and use it from there. --SnorlaxMonster 14:50, 17 March 2013 (UTC)

I understand your concern about the template kinda losing its charm but it doesn't look that bad either, in my opinion. Now all you need to add is a parameter to specify that the item is only available/present in a single generation. In the case of the GB Sounds, this would instead read "Only in Generation IV" as opposed to "Introduced in Generation IV" (disregarding the fact that it is present in the internal data of the Generation V games, of course).

I don't have the GB Sounds registered so I always called it from the Bag when attempting to perform the glitch. I also made sure no wild Pokémon encounters took place and the glitch still didn't work. Maybe it has to do with the tiles you Surf on between Route 20 and Cinnabar Island, since I always kept at least one tile from the border between the locations. SatoMew 18:49, 17 March 2013 (UTC)

(Funny, I found a conversation that is somehow a repetition of what happened between me and SnorlaxMonster more than one year ago) Well, are you SURE you did turn on the GBS while SURFING at one of the locations, and off while STILL SURFING in THE OTHER ONE? Or are you even sure you didn't have in turned on in Cinnabar and Route 20 before trying to do this and since you had flown there for the last time? TheOriginalOne 23:23, 17 March 2013 (UTC)

I followed the instructions from the linked YouTube video in the article where the glitch is documented. SatoMew 00:55, 18 March 2013 (UTC)

Well, the simplest way I can get it to work is to simply go to Route 20 with normal music, open the Bag and turn the GB Sounds on, close the Bag and menu then open the Bag again and disable it (all while surfing); this results in instant silence. If that doesn't work, I don't know what the problem is. - unsigned comment from SnorlaxMonster (talk • contribs)

I guess I found out what I was doing wrong so I attempted the glitch again and it worked. So yeah, it's confirmed to be present in both Japanese versions and all worldwide English releases. However, other localizations might have it fixed. SatoMew 13:59, 18 March 2013 (UTC)

The European versions were the last ones. Or did you want to test the korean version? (it's older anyway) There are many glitches that are much more easily noticed than this one and that are not corrected tough. My discovery was just luck (a glitch that was just discovered 2 years after the game first came out), and this glitch isn't particularly important anyway. There are a lot of glitches registered in bulbapedia. Do you think we individually test each of them on all the versions of the same game, including the korean one, which is normally the last to come out? TheOriginalOne 16:04, 18 March 2013 (UTC)

I didn't imply any of that. But the reason I brought it up is because certain glitches do get fixed in the localizations, like at least some of what I collectively call "overworld sprite repositioning glitches" (old man on the roof in Cinnabar Island, etc.) in Generation I.

Yeah, but the European localization was the last one for HGSS. TheOriginalOne 20:47, 18 March 2013 (UTC)

Template edit

Sorry, but I'm that kind of guy who just likes to rush into action, without going through some boring, long, time-taking, eternal discussions first. And besides, it was an OK edit, right? What do I need to do to make it approved? PLEASE!! I would at least SOMETIMES get to make some cool, BIG edits without someone getting in my way with details like this! --FinnishPokéFan92 (talk) 12:45, 18 March 2013 (UTC)
PS. Sorry about that, but, I'm just a little sensitive about these "nasty surprises" that Bulbapedia sometimes has to offer. So anyway, could you please answer what do I have to do in order to get my (completely mature and OK) edit back up again?

I agree, things tend to sit in "discussion phase" for far too long on Bulbapedia (see all my proposed stuff in my userspace). I actually have another design of that template, and I think it's best to submit the idea and see what people think before making a change that affects a huge number of pages (and the template in question should have been protected anyway, something which I have now fixed). --SnorlaxMonster 12:47, 18 March 2013 (UTC)

Your template suggestion was not bad, but I think that my version made it more clear which game had which leaders. So, if you could be so nice, please give my suggestion at least a thought, okay? :D --FinnishPokéFan92 (talk) 12:55, 18 March 2013 (UTC)

Pokémon Mobile System GB stuff

Compatible software

We should make a table of compatible Mobile System GB software (not the Pokémon version, that is) but I'm not sure how exactly.

PokéCom Center-related

GS Ball event

The reason why I put the incomplete notification on the section for the events held by the PokéCom Center is because I'm not sure of the following:

The true name of the minigame known as "Chieko Dice" as I don't see it being called that way (see below);
The so-called "ten card quiz" may be incorrect as I see the quiz involving 5 questions for the April 2001 event and 8 for the May 2001 event, as described here and here, respectively.

Those links also refer to the minigame as 「チエコ」にサイコロ, with サイコロ being the Japanese term for the dice game. It also mentions that チエコ Chieko is from Azalea Town.

To put it simply, we do know there was a minigame involving dice and that there were quizzes but we're not sure on the minigame's name and the actual amount of questions in the quiz or quizzes.

Trade Corner info

It probably needs expansion based on this unused English text (taken from the text dump I have—it's probably missing internal placeholder strings; I also adapted the text and replaced the caps with the <sc> tag):

Hello! Welcome to PokéCom Center Trade Corner.

Naming conventions for glitch pokémon sprites

Recently I've been very confused about this. I read what was stipulated here, and immediately noticed that it wasn't being followed on most images. There were many different models on those uploads - how I wish autoconfirmed users could move pages on the archives just like in bulbapedia... WAIT! Before you start doing anything, let me tell you why am I really concerned on this matter, which is the defect of the current convention: what about pokémon with more than one front/back sprite? Maybe putting a "2" at the end of one, but... what about Missingno.? Its sprite depends on the hexadecimal! In addition, there are a few glitch pokémon that share the same dex number... on the same game! And a possible other defect: are there any glitch pokémon that can either be shiny or not?

So, would you agree with, before a mass move of pages, changing the convention to "[game]Glitch[hex][_b][_2].png"? TheOriginalOne 23:52, 19 March 2013 (UTC)

Yeah, I came up with that as a convention for the files to be moved to and to use when uploading new ones; I haven't had time to move them all to the new convention (and generally leave menial tasks like that to other people). Apart from Missingno., glitch Pokémon in the Generation I and II games should only have one front and one back sprite. The standard is how they appear in battle; other sprites just aren't used. I don't think the _2 convention is necessary. Missingno.'s extra sprites are taken from other parts of the game (Fossil sprites and the ghost sprite) and follow those naming conventions rather than the glitch ones. Also, Missingno.'s other forms don't have a static Pokédex number; they copy what the Pokémon loaded had. As for its forms in Yellow... they should have different Pokédex entries. I really wish I had a Gen I game so I could accurately evaluate these kind of things, but unfortunately I don't. --SnorlaxMonster 11:58, 13 April 2013 (UTC)

Nintendo Space World '97 flyer

The flyer

I found this old flyer for Nintendo Space World '97 on an archived 2ch thread, I believe. Then reverse-searched the image to find a copy in better resolution and quality. It seems to be announcing the Mew event at NSW '97 but I'm not sure. And I don't know where this could be used so I'm asking you to take a look at it, if you don't mind. SatoMew 22:24, 20 March 2013 (UTC)

Me and SnorlaxMonster worked together to do the event page revamp, and events are a specialty of mine so I should be able to help a little. Based on the Space World '97 text from the official site, it is defiantly a poster detailing the Nintendo Space World '97 Mew. Also the poster does say that at most 10,000 people will receive Mew. However most text is still very small for translation, but the bottom appears to be describing the postcard submission process. It should be noted there appears to be a discrepancy in dates though, the offical site says November 22 to 24, 1997 while the poster appears to say November 22 to 23, 1997. As for the location of the poster, I would say somewhere on this page but I can't say where for certain. Lady Ariel 00:14, 21 March 2013 (UTC)

If the dates are inconsistent, it should be mentioned. Also, just a small correction: the referred number is 100,000 instead of 10,000 because １０万 is 10×10,000 or 10⁴ (万 means ten thousand). It's the same situation with the Japanese name of Thunderbolt. SatoMew 14:41, 21 March 2013 (UTC)

Hi

That would belong here, but I had someone who actually owns the game (I don't) to try it out and it didn't work apparently. If you can provide more detail so that it is repeatable, please do so (although preferably on the talk page). --SnorlaxMonster 13:11, 12 April 2013 (UTC)

Sky Drop Glitch

I tested the Sky Drop glitch on the Battle Subway's Double Lines in Black 2 and White 2 and the glitch activated. Not sure about link battles with other games though. Even if you think the glitch has been "fixed" we at least mention the glitch still works in the Battle Subway? --Relicant (talk) 13:06, 12 April 2013 (UTC)

I tried in dark grass. I think it is worth mentioning that it still occurs in the Battle Subway though. B2W2-B2W2 link battles and the PWT are probably worth testing too though (and B2W2-BW link battles if it doesn't occur during B2W2-B2W2 link battles). --SnorlaxMonster 13:11, 12 April 2013 (UTC)

Added Gen I and II names. These are Japanese ones. I will also upload HGSS pictures (and BW pictures) after I get them. What about Japanese name of pockets? I guess I could get the Free Space since it's not a standard pocket. Marked +-+-+ (talk) 11:34, 13 April 2013 (UTC)

Gah. HGSS is hard. Without Ethan (probably also applies to Lyra), some look odd, to the point that eg. Medicine pocket would normally look WITH Ethan. Any idea what to do with them? Marked +-+-+ (talk) 12:06, 13 April 2013 (UTC)

Japa nese names (Gen IV and V seems clear enough, if Gen II and III aren't, try pasting the screenshot from link in Paint). Would post yesterday, if not for the fact that it was too big to see things clearly and didn't had time to split into several (I didn't check Japanese HGSS or BW though, nor english B2W2 so no idea if it differs, though Gen IV has Status Healers from in-battle menu while BW retranslated it as Status Restore in; it seems this is English-only change unless I missed a small detail) The icon on Battle Bag can be in at least red (when checked on English version) and purple (when checked on Japanese one), no idea how exactly it works... well since this is done, I can upload bag sprites/looks, yay. Marked +-+-+ (talk) 14:55, 14 April 2013 (UTC) PS. HGSS done (well I would do that earlier but internet denied cooperation), now Unova games. Also, did you check the names I linked?

AvailabilityGlitch template.

This template has sections for all generations I-V, but a split might be better for it. I'm thinking that the template should be split into two, one being Gen. I and II, the other being Gen. III-V. I think this because Gen. II and III cannot be linked together in any way, thus causing it to be impossible for a glitch to be related between them. What are your thoughts? --×Rsrdaman× 04:26, 14 April 2013 (UTC)

I had started changing the number disambiguation pages to say Pokédex number instead of Regional Pokédex number since it mentions national dex as well, and ArcToraphim had undone my edits, so I asked him about it on his talk page, and he said that I should talk to a Bureaucrat about it before changing it back, so what do you think? -EVsandIVsaurs 20:13, 15 April 2013 (UTC)

I filled Barry's page with the missing team templates, which turned out to take so much space, that there is no room left for templates in the page anymore, making some of the templates incomplete.

Stadium sprites

One thing I just noticed that bothers me: all the Pokémon that appeared in the Stadium games have their sprites from those games uploaded, but they don't fit into the Trainer templates.

Legendary birds.

On their article it is said they are referred by this name... Was the term "legendary birds" ever officially used?

Marked +-+-+ (talk) 14:33, 30 May 2013 (UTC)

Still, we should put the Japanese variant on page since it says only "winged mirages" and no mention of what it was in original. Marked +-+-+ (talk) 14:39, 30 May 2013 (UTC)

New glitch

Friend, I believe that I have discovered a glitch in Generation I that is not yet noted on the glitch article. It is as minor as it could be, but nonetheless I think it deserves attention. Please get back to me. Erythro (talk) 16:38, 31 May 2013 (UTC)

Could you provide more detail please? --SnorlaxMonster 16:42, 31 May 2013 (UTC)

Certainly; thank you. When one mounts the Bicycle in Victory Road, the Bicycle music, of course, plays, supplanting the ordinary Victory Road music. I have found that if one falls through a hole in Victory Road, the Bicycle music will continue to play on the lower level, even though the player is no longer riding a Bicycle. The bike theme stops once the player enters and leaves a battle, and the normal cave music resumes. It is more of a quirk than a glitch, but I have never before seen it mentioned and thought you might like to know. Erythro (talk) 16:50, 31 May 2013 (UTC)

I found a terrible quality YouTube video that shows what you mentioned. Once I find out if it occurs in Yellow, I'll be able to add it to the page in the correct spot. --SnorlaxMonster 17:22, 31 May 2013 (UTC)

Thank you so much; and thanks also for the welcome message on my talk page. I am sorry that I do not own a working copy of Yellow, otherwise I could check for you; I found the glitch in Red. Erythro (talk) 17:28, 31 May 2013 (UTC)

Terribly sorry for eavesdropping but since I own Yellow version in both English and Japanese I can test it on those versions if you wish. --ZestyCactus 17:29, 31 May 2013 (UTC)

Hey so I forgot I restarted my English Yellow version a while ago, so the file got swiped clean and I'm not as far as Victory Road yet. I finished the game in Japanese though so I went there and the Bicycle music didn't play at all! I went on and off the bike in the Indigo Plateau and outside the cave and it only played the cave/plateau music. I didn't hear the bike music at all. Very weird!! --ZestyCactus 22:09, 31 May 2013 (UTC)

I hope that it is all right if I reply to you! Thanks very much for checking on the new glitch; maybe the issue in the Japanese Yellow is a quirk in itself. Erythro (talk) 01:44, 1 June 2013 (UTC)

Question regarding merchandise articles and pertinence

During my random paging, I had come across numerous merchandise articles, ranging from gashapon figures, to trading figures, to a few licensed toys. After a very quick search and look in the figures category, I noticed that there were no indications of the Bandai D-arts figure line. I happen to own one of the figures (Mewtwo) and would like to possibly create an article regarding that figure line, provided with proper sources and press releases, which I can acquire elsewhere.

That said, is there a specific protocol to merchandise articles? Would such an article be necessary? The D-arts line is relatively new, as the first figure (Mewtwo) was released in March, after an announcement in October. Blastoise and Charizard were also announced for the line. So, if you could enlighten me on the proper protocol for merchandise articles, it would be appreciated. Thanks. Trak Nar (talk) 09:42, 1 June 2013 (UTC)

Basically, if it's officially licensed and produced in a reasonable quantity, then it would qualify for an article. The thing is that in most cases merchandise isn't widely promoted, and it isn't usually something people go out of their way to write articles for.

As for how to format the article, I can't exactly describe it, but what I usually do is find an article on a similar topic and format the new article like that one (although often I then decide I want things a different way and edit the first article as well). --SnorlaxMonster 10:04, 1 June 2013 (UTC)

Though I was able to import my figure through Big Bad Toystore, and others had used similar importers, as far as I know, the line was intended to be distributed primarily in Japan. However, a contact of mine did mention that an import store that he frequents had stocked the figures, so there is a level of overseas distribution. As far as I know, it is due to a licensing deal with Bluefin, which I assume handles the imports. I will need to double-check that.

These figures are not necessarily mass-market merchandise, but rather licensed high-end collectibles. Mewtwo cost me around $60, and that was just after release. Pre-orders went around $50-60, and after-market values have increased to over $100. So, in terms of uniqueness, the line could qualify for an article on the grounds of it being marketed toward collectors, rather than children. The figures themselves are highly-articulated and average in size around six inches.

As for the promotion, I would need to double-check on that. The line is promoted in Japanese magazines, as far as I know. What those magazines are, I cannot say for certain without further information from several of my sources. Trak Nar (talk) 10:13, 1 June 2013 (UTC)

We don't usually delete merchandise articles for lack of notability. We're pretty relaxed there. If you think it has enough information to write an article on it, go for it. --SnorlaxMonster 10:14, 1 June 2013 (UTC)

Thanks. Just wanted to make sure before I went and did something stupid. Trak Nar (talk) 10:20, 1 June 2013 (UTC)

Starter Pokémon template, Eevee Pokémon XD

I was on the Starter Pokémon page and I looked at the template used at the bottom

First partner trios

[[Category:Terminology]]
[[Category:Starter Pokémon|*]]
[[Category:Anime starter Pokémon|*]]

(and I hope posting that doesn't somehow bug out the site)

Anyways I looked at the XD portion and noticed it says Eevee can evolve into any of its Eeveelutions. XD is from Gen III and there were only 5 Eeveelutions around at the time. Shouldn't the template or whatever (I have almost 0 tech skills/knowledge) be changed to reflect this. At the moment it is kind of misleading. I would hate for someone to get a copy of XD and try to get one of its IV or VI Eeveelutions and get frustrated because they can't due to them not existing when the game was conceived. I'm not sure if you're the right person to go to for this, not even sure if your a staff member or have the power to change the template. Yamitora1 (talk) 15:02, 1 June 2013 (UTC)

I don't even know why "→ Any Eeveelution" is on there to begin with. The other starter Pokémon don't list their evolutions. --SnorlaxMonster 15:05, 1 June 2013 (UTC)

Yeah, I was also wondering that too. Anyways I'm glad its fixed and thanks for the help. Also sorry if I did something wrong with copy-pasting the template code onto your page. I have no idea how this stuff works despite reading tons of stuff to try and educate myself. It just goes over my head. Yamitora1 (talk) 15:18, 1 June 2013 (UTC)

I think it was done like that because you're forced to evolve it immediately after the first battle or something. Not saying it should be put back, just that that was apparently the reasoning behind the initial addition of that. Werdnae (talk) 21:16, 1 June 2013 (UTC)

I See, than maybe it should either remain a plain Eevee, or the 5 possible evolution be placed in the box with it? Its kind of a awkward situation...so I am more leaning towards leaving it plain.Yamitora1 (talk) 23:37, 1 June 2013 (UTC)

I watched an LP of it, and it seems that someone gives you the evolutionary item of your choice and encourages you to use it on Eevee, but you don't seem to be forced to evolve it. --SnorlaxMonster 06:23, 2 June 2013 (UTC)

There are no strict criteria, it's basically users who we see as responsible and good editors. Staff are typically hired in mass around main series game releases though. --SnorlaxMonster 19:17, 5 June 2013 (UTC)

Question about dub edits

Would dub edits be pertinent to character articles, if the edit is in reference to that character's dialogue? Or, are dub edits only pertinent in the media articles? I ask this because in the original Japanese dub of Mewtwo Strikes Back, Raymond, after his defeat, says in very plain English "OH MY GOD!" That was not the only instance of "Engrish" in the movie, as when Ash is told that the storm is too violent for him to cross the waters with his Pokémon, he responds with a forlorn "damn." Also, upon entering Mewtwo's laboratory and snooping around, when Jessie sits on the computer console, she utters a particular four-letter word. Would any of those changes in dialogue be worth mentioning? Or, are instances of "Engrish" in the original dubs usually ignored in articles? Trak Nar (talk) 06:43, 6 June 2013 (UTC)

I don't see any problem with mentioning dub edits on character pages. I thought there was precendent for this, but the best I could find was Melissa. I know Mewtwo was quite different in the Japanese version to the English version. --SnorlaxMonster 13:31, 10 June 2013 (UTC)

The Uncut Story Of Mewtwo's Origin‎

Lol, I already had this kind of problems in the past, and since then I have been more cautious to avoid problems, but I didn't realize that a brief mentioning of y. would be a big deal (not even Wikipedia ha such strict policies), but if my message was wrong, than your removal of it was a good thing. Anyway, back to the main topic: I have the Mewtwo Returns DVD and the voice of adult Mewtwo in "The Uncut Story Of Mewtwo's Origin‎" seems to me Addie Blaustein's voice (she also voiced young Mewtwo), but it could also be Phillip Bartlett's voice (I am Italian and I haven't watched the whole first movie in English, just few scenes). What do you think? Do you recognize the voice? --Abcd (talk) 11:28, 9 June 2013 (UTC)

Yeah, we have to be strict on copyright violations, and certainly moreso than Wikipedia; Wikipedia has way easier access to many skilled lawyers than Bulbagarden does. We need to be extra careful, as we probably do things anyway that already violate Pokémon's copyright, and we just need to stay "in their good books".

I'm not very skilled in VA recognition. I think the credits would be a better choice, although I'm not sure if the DVD does have credits after the short or not, or if there are credits somewhere else. We typically avoid guessing VAs by ear anyway, as we have communication with the VAs themselves and they get annoyed when voices get misattributed due to someone guessing by ear (although they are the DuArt VAs, so they are less likely to know who voiced characters in a 4Kids dub). --SnorlaxMonster 11:38, 9 June 2013 (UTC)

The DVD doesn't have credits after that short, the only credits present are after "Mewtwo Returns" (and they are just generic "Voice Characterizations by" and "Additional Voices by", without saying who voices who). What you said about guessing VAs by ear may be right in principle, but there must be exceptions: for example I wrote that the adult voice of Mewtwo is Masachika Ichimura at the end of the short, and I only knew that by ear; I am sure that someone that knows American VAs better than me can judge if the voice is Blaustein's or Bartlett's (in the scene where Mewtwo gets older his voice also get older, but it seems to me that it just deepens without changing much, that's why I think that it may be Blaustein). If other people follow our discussion, the problem could be easily solved. --Abcd (talk) 12:17, 9 June 2013 (UTC)

For what it's worth, it sounds like Bartlett's voice, and the dub was made around the time that Bartlett was voicing Mewtwo. Trak Nar (talk) 03:23, 12 June 2013 (UTC)

Voice actor sourcing

I edited the Michele Knotz and Nurse Joy articles to include that Michele Knotz reprized her role as the flash back Kanto nurse, but they were undone and I was asked to source it. How am I suppose to do that? Yamitora1 (talk) 20:38, 9 June 2013 (UTC)

The point is you can't just say that a character was voiced by a specific person without stating how you know that to be the case. Was it in the credits? Did the VA tweet about it? Is it on some cast sheet you have access to? You cannot just assume voice actors, as we are in contact with several of them, and people assuming voice actors results in misatrributions which bothers them. --SnorlaxMonster 04:43, 10 June 2013 (UTC)

A new section for every Pokémon page: type origin.

At first, um, hello SnorlaxMonster, and I don't know if I'm with the right person to ask this, but if I ain't, then please tell me who could help me. So to start things of: Every Pokémon has a 'Origin' and 'Name Origin' section. These sections mostly include speculation, and are some of the few places on Bulbapedia where that is allowed. But there is one more thing that I, and hopefully others, have really liked to see on Bulbapedia: 'Type Origin'! This would be a section which should include speculation in the same way as the 'Origin' and 'Name Origin' section, but this one would explain why a Pokémon has a specific type(-combination) and/or how a Pokémon is related to a specific type(-combination). So would would Tornadus's Type Origin explain that he is probably a pure Flying-type, because he is able to fly and has to go with Thundurus and Thornadus. But also that he is about windstorms, and the best type to represent 'windstorms' is the 'flying-type'. So Tornadus is actually the 'Windstorm-type' and the 'Being-able-to-fly-type', both of which are represented by the 'flying-type'. So he is actually the flying-type and the flying-type, so because Pokémon can't have the same type twice, he is a pure flying-type. Also Noivern, the 'Sonic Pokémon', is said to produce soundwaves with its ears. And soundwaves are actually vibrations in the air, so we again get the flying-type. And then Noivern is also a Dragon-like creature, so it also needs to be the Dragon-type. But Noivern is mostly about sound, so the flying type comes first. And that is why Noivern has Flying as its primary type. Then Gardevoir has the newly-introduced Fairy-type, because it is based on a Guardian angel. And angels would be represented by the fairy type. Also, some Pokémon own the Water-type, just because they are based on aquatic animals. Not because they actually have anything to do with 'water', that also should be noted. And it should also be noted if a Pokémon is the Fire-type because it is related to Fire itself, Magma, Lava, Heat, Stars, and so on. A reason to be of the Ground-type doesn't really need a Pokémon to be about earth, but also about sand, mud and clay! Jynx is an Ice-type, but not because she is made out of ice! However Regice is also and Ice-type but Regice IS made out of ice. So they got different reasons to be Ice-types! So how about it? Is it a nice idea to add the 'Type Origin' section to the Pokémon pages? By the way, thanks for reading the whole thing if you did... Nickvang (talk) 19:03, 13 June 2013 (UTC)

I made a table for Type Origins on my Userpage, maybe it'll be of your interest. I hope we could add Type Origins on Pokémon pages in the future.

Habitat List.

Le Japanese name here (I think, that's Habitat List opened in Japanese version). ...I should really learn Japanese. Also the article implies Poké Ball appears after you see/catch mons from that entire area, whereas area has separate Poké Ball for each of the 3 methods. I'd add that myself, but Internet decides to throw 503s at me instead of saving even though it works fine iin other cases. Marked +-+-+ (talk) 14:55, 20 June 2013 (UTC)

I only just noticed this comment; thanks for the info! I updated the Poké Ball phrasing, added the Japanese translation (the hiragana translate as "Habitat" in Google Translate, and the last three characters are literally list in katakana, so I think it being a direct translation is a safe assumption even though Google Translate is normally terrible), and uploaded that image to the Archives and added it to the page. I hope doing so is okay copyright-wise; since it's a game screenshot, I believe whomever owns the site it came from doesn't have copyright on it, and we can use it under our fair-use-because-it's-a-game-screenshot clause, right?

4"4 Hy and other glitch stuff

Someone has just moved the page to 4!4 Hy. I can understand why, because of its in-battle name, but I think it's dubious, so I would never make that move myself, and I'm more in favor of the old name. What do you think? Should this be kept? Update: Now someone has moved it to 4 "4Hy! (notice the space...argh!) Update 4: Now someone moved it to 4!4=Hy, just because of that glitch block! Update 7: Was moved to 4 4Hy! HELP ME!!!

Update 2: Two other things:

Could you please add <includeonly>[[Category:Glitches]]</includeonly> to {{Project GlitchDex notice}}?

Also, could you tell me if this template, which is based on {{PokémonPrevNextHead}}, would be suitable for use at the beginning of every glitch pokémon page?

Thanks.

Update 3: ...two other things:

Should I consider a:File:MissingNo. Z Yellow.png another sprite of Yellow B8, and so change the Missingno. article according to that?

I think I noticed a mistake that prevents us from using the move templates that we use in pages like this one: the template from the middle shows the minisprite for the pokémon with the equivalent pokédex number. This may be good with hybrids, but the problem is that when the glitch pokémon in question has a # higher than 151 the template will display pokémon from the next gen - and yes, I confirmed that it has nothing to do with the JGGlitch. And even in the other cases where the number is different from 000, the glitch pokémon might not always be a hybrid.
- Even more important than that, why are most of them marked as "000"? Is the article really that incomplete?

Update 5: I was posting move and deletion notices on glitch sprites that didn't follow the naming convention, when I noticed something weird: ♀ . and 'v's sprites are exceptions to the ones of the glitch pokémon that share the same games and #. Now the question is: to which new name should those exceptions be moved?

Update 6: Also, could you please move A to A (C0), as there's another A?

Update 8: And when is Five question marks going to be split? There's no point on keeping it.

Update 9: It would also be a good idea to add a display name option to {{GlitchPkmnInfobox}}, under the other games equivalent title. What I mean is that, for example, in 94 h, it is mistakingly said "Equivalent in Yellow: $ (glitch Pokémon)", instead of just "$" (links to the other one). That's what I'm trying to get fixed.

I really look forward to hearing from you soon, so that issues will not continue accumulating. Thanks. オリジナル TheOriginalOne 17:17, 9 September 2013 (UTC)

Time

Fixed time, added evening, but I have no idea how that template works, since the "morning/day/night" repeats after 3 switches instead of 4 (oddly color one has the 4 switches and is quite easy to update)... and it seems to imply that in-game summer has morning from 3:00 to 9:59 when it's actually 4:00-8:59 (and even before I fixed it, it was 4:00-9:59, so where that 3:00 got from...). Marked +-+-+ (talk) 09:45, 8 July 2013 (UTC)

Side series

Thank you for doing most of the legwork in changing all the infoboxes/categories/etc for the side series games last month.

(User:Pumpkinking0192/Side series and User:Pumpkinking0192/Template:Side series) I based them on the Spin-off Pokémon games article and template, so they're not pretty-looking by a long shot, but they exist and are functional, which is a lot better than before.

Draining Kiss

Just because the pictures are Aromatherapy doesn't mean the information is wrong, especially when it's labeled with the same move underneath each language. If it was wrong, wouldn't one of them have differed? (There also isn't one Healer so far who doesn't learn at least one HP move naturally.) Why can't we trust the website to be right? Luna Tiger * the Arc Toraph 19:04, 12 July 2013 (UTC)

I don't think this one specific part can be trusted as it is clearly a mislabeling. The image depicts Aromatherapy, but the site says it "can learn Draining Kiss" in the caption underneath it. We already know there is a mistake in part of that piece of information, so I don't think we should trust it until the mistake has been fixed. (Also, Spritzee doesn't has lips, although Wooper can learn Ice Punch so that may be a redundant point.) --SnorlaxMonster 19:09, 12 July 2013 (UTC)

Sorry to interrupt, but I can answer to that one. I saw your first talk page (you are intelligent: you hid the negative comments!) and so I know your problem. Due to that scheme of yours that involved doing random mainspace edits just in order to be autoconfirmed, they told you that you were "put in abuse". Being put in abuse means you can no longer edit any of your userspace (that means everything that has the User: prefix), until you prove you can make more mainspace edits than the userspace ones. That's what the "constructive edits" thing means. TheOriginalOne 22:36, 12 July 2013 (UTC)

First of all, that wasn't a "scheme" of mine. Yes my account was autoconfirmed and I did make a constuctive edit on Cacnea, but somebody deleted it for no reason. And what mainspace edits did I even do? If you're talking about the one that administrator told me about, I never did any of that. My IP address got hacked so it made it look like I was the one who made those edits when in fact I never did. They put me in the abuse group just because something happen to my IP address. I don't even edit pages on bulbapedia, I just read them. Don't try to tell me a schemer when you don't know your facts. - unsigned comment from Abdullahi456 (talk • contribs)

Sorry, but I have no way of knowing exactly what was made by your account, as the changes were hidden by the admin. And please, can't you admit you did it? In case you didn't notice, the IP adress really identifies you, and unless the hacker used the same computer as yours, there's no hacker at all. There's no problem in admitting you commited a mistake, as nobody is perfect. Specially when you're a new user: this happens all the time. I have a bunch of them actually. And I didn't defend myself from them: I learned from them. TheOriginalOne 19:02, 14 July 2013 (UTC)

If it was me, I'd admit it. But let me tell you something, you see the history of my account? Check it and see the previous year in when I used bulbapedia. I haven't used it since 2010 and I only came back on it because I got an email from the one I used to confirm my account saying that I made some non constructive changes on bulbapedia. When I went on, I discovered my account wasn't logged on. Either somebody hacked my Ip address or somebody else went on my computer. I'm pretty sure it's the latter. I didn't do anything. Just because an ip address identifies you doesn't mean you can automaically point the blame at the real user. I did mistakes before on bulbapedia but I stopped.

The Rank article

I noticed you proposed here that this article be split into three; one article for each game. I disagree with this. If you look at the length of each section, there is simply not enough information in each to justify giving them their own articles. For example, look at the Contest section. It consists of five sentences and two charts. In my opinion, that's not enough for a separate article. The Mystery Dungeon section is the longest in the article, and I think there's enough in there to split it off, but the other two sections don't appear long enough for separate articles. But if we split off the MD section, then I don't know what to do with the Ranger Rank and Contest sections. What do you think? Pokegen master (talk) 19:33, 19 July 2013 (UTC)

We have their articles here since 11 days*. The problem, the only field we would fill so far in that template would be name (since we don't know where their Gyms are, what they specialize in or what Badge they give*), so better wait with that. Marked +-+-+ (talk) 08:24, 22 July 2013 (UTC)

Glitches 'n stuff

I would like to help contribute to Project GlitchDex. I currently intend to find ALL the glitched tiles for ALL amounts above 99 items in ALL areas for pokémon Red and Blue, as I have noticed they are different in different areas due to different tilesets being used.

Mewtwo Awakened Forme

Ok, since you removed the info on the "Awakened" forme off the forme page, I guess you're the one to ask this?

So did gamefreak just decide to scrap the "Awakened" forme thing and went with Mega Evolution? They mention in all the trailers that game play footage is not final, and that it can change before release date.

Should/will this be investigated and noted in the article for Mewtwo, Mega Evoltuion and/or the Forme Difference Articles? I mean we wen't from fully accepting the Awakened forme to the point of having it on the articles, to now having Game Freak do a 180° and now instead we have Mega Mewtwo.

Also, Can/Should the Mega Evolutions be counted as a forme/sub category of forme? and Should mention of this move by Game Freak be made? Yamitora1 (talk) 05:50, 10 August 2013 (UTC)

Template:G5event

Can I ask for your opinion on Sandbox#Template:G5event, as I replaced moz-border-radius from the template, and I would like to know if it looks good to be used? Thanks. — Reshi 643 05:35, 11 August 2013 (UTC)

The see also section

I see you deleted it here, but are you sure? I say this because it's the same for the pages of all the other regions: all of them link the games at the beginning, and then have that section linking to them again. Also, could you do the same edit you did to {{gameabbrev3}} to {{sup}}? TheOriginalOne 17:41, 11 August 2013 (UTC)

Fair point on Kalos. As for {{sup}}, that template is deprecated; used {{sup/6}}. --SnorlaxMonster 19:20, 11 August 2013 (UTC)

Also, could I please seize this rare moment in which you're looking at your talk page to remember you for the third time of this important, buried conversation? TheOriginalOne 19:57, 11 August 2013 (UTC)

RE: Korean name for base stats/EVs

Sure, I'll give it a go!

BTW, do you mean what Korean players call EVs (since "EV" is, IIRC, not technically an official term)? Or what Pokemon Korea is officially calling "Base Stats" on their version of this page concerning it? And once I find out, where would you like for me to place this info? Because apparently there is already a Korean term for it on the Effort values page... unless you just want confirmation? -- Nick15 (talk) 18:32, 18 August 2013 (UTC)

Gotcha! Sorry I didn't get it sooner. :( -- Nick15 (talk) 19:03, 18 August 2013 (UTC)

Is there a article that lists the registered trademarks from the Pokémon franchise?

Is there a article that lists all the known (R), (TM) and (C) of Game Freak and Pokémon like the newly discovered Pokkén and other items like Mega Evolution, which were trademarked at some point for future possible use by the franchise?

If not, would that be a article worth making sense it would be informative, and also provide a resource for those who barely know what a Registered Trademark is? Yamitora1 (talk) 14:17, 20 August 2013 (UTC)

There is not. I know all Pokémon names are trademarked. I don't know how we would go about compiling a list though. I believe Pokémon Opal and Pokémon Topaz have been trademarked since at least DP (because I remember everyone thinking Platinum would be called Opal because of that, and then thinking Black and White would be Opal and Topaz). Also, don't forget patents like Patent US7762893 (although that's Pikmin, the point is still relevant).

Copyrighted things don't work the same though, as copyright is automatic and you don't need to file for it (although you do need to renew it sometimes, but Pokémon is far too young for that). ™ indicates something is trademarked, but not necessarily that it is a registered trademark (which is what we find). ® is really the only one of the three you listed that is of relevance (registered trademarks). Anyway, I'm not a copyright expert, so I may have a few things wrong, but I'm pretty sure that's the way things work. --SnorlaxMonster 14:43, 20 August 2013 (UTC)

I see, hmm well I guess it would work best to only list the non Pokémon names ® but I guess it would be too hard to compile a list like you said. Still, that would be a nice resource.

On last quick question...Did HGSS have to be ® or did the ® from GSC carry over? I ask because I am rooting for a RSE remake and I'm curious how easily Game Freak could sneak that under the radar. That's another reason I was asking if such a list article existed, so I could see if any filing for a RSE remake was on there. Yamitora1 (talk) 16:52, 20 August 2013 (UTC)

HGSS would have been separately trademarked. There were rumors at the time of TPC trademarking "Pokémon DuskGold" and "Pokémon DawnSilver", but I think those were false. --SnorlaxMonster 17:08, 20 August 2013 (UTC)

Ok thank you very much. Yamitora1 (talk) 17:33, 20 August 2013 (UTC)

DefaultSort

On Tomoaki Imakuni, is there a way to use DefaultSort that have [[Category:Male characters|Imakuni?]] not be redirected to Imakuni, Tomoaki? — Reshi 643 18:16, 23 August 2013 (UTC)

I'm not entirely sure I understand the question. I think what you're asking is for a way to DEFAULTSORT as "Imakuni, Tomoaki" but sort in one specific category as "Imakuni?"? DEFAULTSORT is literally just that—the default; if you specify a different sortkey for any category, it will use that instead. --SnorlaxMonster 20:09, 23 August 2013 (UTC)

The category is supposed to be sorted as Imakuni?, but on Category:Male characters, it is being sorted as Imakuni, Tomoaki, and I was wondering if there is a way to sort it as Imakuni? — Reshi 643 20:16, 23 August 2013 (UTC)

It is being sorted as "Imakuni?". What makes you think it isn't? --SnorlaxMonster 20:34, 23 August 2013 (UTC)

Here, I am seeing it as Tomoaki Imakuni under the I. — Reshi 643 20:40, 23 August 2013 (UTC)

But "Imakuni?" starts with I, so that's exactly where I would expect to see it. --SnorlaxMonster 20:47, 23 August 2013 (UTC)

I don't see it with the question mark, though. It is just Imakuni without the question mark. — Reshi 643 20:57, 23 August 2013 (UTC)

Oh, I think I see what you're misunderstanding. Pages are still displayed in categories using the page title; all the sortkey does is affect how it is sorted. --SnorlaxMonster 21:25, 23 August 2013 (UTC)

Error to report! Ground neutral on Fighting?

In the Pokémon Type Chart, it states that Ground-Type attacks are 1x effective on Fighting-Type Pokémon. If I recall correctly, this is incorrect: Ground-Type moves are 2x effective on Fighting-Type Pokémon.- unsigned comment from Pkmn4dummies (talk • contribs)

No, they're not. ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 21:42, 23 August 2013 (UTC)

After researching it online (which I realized I should have done promptly after posting this) I realized that Fighting's weakness to Ground is nonexistent. I'm sorry for that waste of whoever's time read it.- unsigned comment from Pkmn4dummies (talk • contribs)

You should have done that before posting this.--電禅Den Zen 22:11, 23 August 2013 (UTC)

Curious about something...

I don't suppose I could get your thoughts on this? Basically, I'm looking for another opinion on adding the attacks mentioned in Birth of Mewtwo to Mewtwo's moveset. Personally, I see no issue with adding these moves, along with where they debuted, but I'd like someone else's opinion on this before I do. Thanks. Trak Nar (talk) 08:02, 28 August 2013 (UTC)

Distorted images

Hi I'm not terribly good at editing and I noticed a few of the main Pokemon images do not have the correct dimensions causing them to appear squished.

Manaphy, Arceus, and Victini are like this, though there are probably a lot more. Bioness (talk) 18:02, 30 August 2013 (UTC)

Virtually all of them are (or were) like that. The reason is that the Bulbagarden Archives (where the images are stored) doesn't always instantaneously sync up with Bulbapedia. The admins have changed all the Sugimori art on the Archives to a square aspect ratio to make them uniform, and Bulbapedia recognizes the changed dimensions but not the image itself, so it's stretching the old versions of the images to fit the new dimensions. The images will eventually properly sync on their own. Pumpkinking0192 (talk) 18:21, 30 August 2013 (UTC)

Bulbanews article about split-second Pokémon information

Hello Snorlaxmonster, I noted you created the Bulbanews article about the Pokémon seen for a split-second in the Pokémon direct. However, it states: 'Due to the extreme brevity of its appearance, it appears to only be included by mistake.' while there isn't any note about what is said at the time the Pokémon appears: During a battle, I think there will be a moment'. Could the article please state this is a possible reference to the split-second moment the Pokémon appears in during the battle? Nickvang (talk) 14:53, 4 September 2013 (UTC)

The time at which it appears is mentioned in the second paragraph. --SnorlaxMonster 15:08, 4 September 2013 (UTC)

SnorlaxMonster, I think he is trying to say that the mistake was intentional, as it is a reference to the split-second in which every pokémon enter a battle. To the user, if that's the case: The problem is that if that was their intention, they would at least refer the pokémon. I viewed the Direct (didn't even notice the split-second), and I can assure you they didn't do so. And even if they wanted to reveal it without other references, why would they just show it for a split-second? It wouldn't actually be a very adequate strategy. Even if they referred it. オリジナル TheOriginalOne 15:19, 4 September 2013 (UTC)

I understand. However, this reference ('During a battle, I think there will be a moment') could still be noted in the article. Then people could decide for themselves wheter they think it was intentional or not. Nickvang (talk) 15:23, 4 September 2013 (UTC)

'During a battle, I think there will be a moment' - I'm sorry, but I don't understand what this means. If you're trying to say that we shouldn't assert that it is a mistake, I've intentionally left it as "appears to only be included by mistake". --SnorlaxMonster 15:37, 4 September 2013 (UTC)

The Pokémon appears during a battle at a(/one) (short) moment. That is the reference I'm mentioning. Could this reference also be mentioned in the article? Nickvang (talk) 15:42, 4 September 2013 (UTC)

Still not entirely sure what you're asking. Is this what you meant? --SnorlaxMonster 15:46, 4 September 2013 (UTC)

No, 'During a battle, I think there will be a moment...' is a line said by one of the persons that are talking in the Pokémon Direct (or actually it's the translating voice-over), just before the split-second moment with the new Pokémon appears. Could this be mentioned in the article, please. Nickvang (talk) 16:04, 4 September 2013 (UTC)

Just what I tought. What about checking what he says after that? He's definetely talking about something else. The rest is just decoration. オリジナル TheOriginalOne 16:09, 4 September 2013 (UTC)

Of course he said something after the moment the Pokémon appeared, otherwise it wouldn't be a hidden reference, but just an invitation to pause the video. And by the way, you can say the line after the moment without needing the one before the moment for it to make sense: 'When a players feelings seem to actually go into the game and combine with their Pokémon, that's when Mega Evolution happens'. You see, you could take the lines after the moment as seperate of the referencing line before the moment! Nickvang (talk) 16:17, 4 September 2013 (UTC)

I didn't say he stopped talking. I was saying that what he said next wasn't going to be any reference to the accidentaly revealed pokémon. I remember very well the moment that you just referred on this reply, and I see no reason for it to be a reference to the mysterious pokémon; instead, that's a reference to the fact that at that moment Venusaur was mega-evolving. If you still want to say the opposite, please make your answer clear. Thanks. オリジナル TheOriginalOne 16:28, 4 September 2013 (UTC)

That's because it's an hidden reference. He says something, pauses, and then he says the rest. In this specific case: He says something that is a reference to a very short appearance of a new Pokémon, then he pauses and the Pokémon appears, and then he says something of which people will think that it's just him finishing his line. Instead of finishing his line, he was actually talking about something different. As he is now talking about the Venusaur Mega Evolving, while he was talking about the appearance of the new Pokémon before that new Pokémon appeared. And I am clear. No thanks. Nickvang (talk) 16:38, 4 September 2013 (UTC)

If your way of thinking points to that, then please be aware that it's probably rare. I'm not saying it's wrong, but independently of your evidence, we can't really prove that. What will be the problem with such detail not being added, anyway? オリジナル TheOriginalOne 16:51, 4 September 2013 (UTC)

Okay, now I think I understand what you meant. --SnorlaxMonster 16:52, 4 September 2013 (UTC)

But the sentence continues. He talks about the relationship between the bond with the pokémon and Mega Evolution. I still don't see the thing. オリジナル TheOriginalOne 16:54, 4 September 2013 (UTC)

It is literally only there for a few frames. It is only visible the moment it cuts to the game footage. To screencap it, I went from Masuda and just play/paused as fast as possible until I saw it. As for the sentence continuing, it's to point out where in the video it occurs, not what Masuda said. --SnorlaxMonster 16:59, 4 September 2013 (UTC)

Protection level

Hi Mr. SnorlaxMonster, I wanted you to lower the Protection level in the following pages Rock-type, Water-type, Ground-type. So that I can put the Hindi names. After putting the names you can increase the protection level.--Viv (talk) 17:05, 4 September 2013 (UTC)

Synopses: Templates and Categories

Hey, SnorlaxMonster. I was wondering if you could make four edits or so to two templates and categories. Categories Episode articles with incomplete synopses and Book articles with incomplete synopses should be moved with the links in their text pointing to the correct templates. In addition, and the main reason I am asking this, templates {{Incomplete plot}} and {{Incomplete synopsis book}} should have their code adjusted to match the moved categories, since they are protected and cannot be edited for good reason. Thank you for your time, --Super goku (talk) 08:11, 8 September 2013 (UTC)

Yeah, I'm trying to work out whether it would be a better idea to make it "Category:Articles with incomplete plot summaries" or separate ones for anime episodes, manga chapters, and books (games potentially as well). I need to discuss this with other staff first, but I've moved Template:Incomplete plot to where it is now so that it can at least be relinked when people update articles. --SnorlaxMonster 08:23, 8 September 2013 (UTC)

Ah, I see now. Thank you for the quick reply. One last thing, should everything in the Bulbapedia mainspace be left alone for the moment or would it be alright to adjust all of them that should be? --Super goku (talk) 17:49, 8 September 2013 (UTC)

Another template change

Could you please do like what you did for the other user on the previous section and edit templates for me? I mean {{Ability/head}} and {{Ability/entry}}: could you add a new column called "Mega Evolution ability"? It is already required here. Thanks. オリジナル TheOriginalOne 16:35, 8 September 2013 (UTC)

The only one familiarized with this...

Could I please ask you a simple favor? The thing is that someone didn't know that in Project GlitchDex we conventioned that, due to their cheating-only availability, the glitch pokémon from FB to FD shouldn't have articles associated. So that user created a page for 'M 'N g. I placed a delete tag there, with the explanation. But still, I know that many staff members may just ignore it due to not being familiarized with the thing: so to speed up the deletion, could you please go there, as you are apparently the only staff member with the knowledge of the rule? オリジナル TheOriginalOne 19:06, 21 September 2013 (UTC)

Members of Team Rocket

As you were the one who tagged it for deletion discussion in the first place, I thought it would be appropriate to ask you about this... since it's been over 2 years since the tag was added, no particularly strong opposition to deletion was given, and the page isn't even up to date with the anime at this point, would it be fair to finally delete the page? On that note, I think it's about time this talk page was archived as well. PokemonMasterJamal3 (talk) 05:22, 27 September 2013 (UTC)

Azuxingmi's contributions

Hey, SnorlaxMonster. I was wondering if you could take a look at Azuxingmi's contributions? They seem to be getting their information from another website on the base stats. I sent the a message about it on their talk page, but the only thing it seems to have done, if anything at all, is stop them from updating the older Pokémon.

Request

Since the pseudo-legendary Pokémon page is protected, could you possibly add a few things for me?

Under the initial header, Goodra needs to be added to the template list. I've coded one up in my sandbox (I'd have used Sugimori art for all of them, but Goodra doesn;t have that yet).
Under the "Users" heading, Shauna and Diantha both use a Goodra in one of their teams.
Under the "Trivia" section, there's a line that reads:

Every pseudo-legendary Pokémon is immune to at least one type: Dragonite to Ground, Tyranitar to Psychic, Metagross to Poison, Salamence to Ground, Garchomp to Electric, and Hydreigon to Psychic and Ground.
- However, Hydreigon's immunity to Ground-type moves is due to its Ability, Levitate, rather than due to its type.

They can both be removed as they're no longer true. Thanks! —★たかはりい^talk 05:34, 30 October 2013 (UTC)

All done. --SnorlaxMonster 09:22, 30 October 2013 (UTC)

Berry Fields

I do not know if you are aware, but we had fields capitalized due to how it appeared on the flying map and the town map. I am not sure which one we should default to, but I think this change warrants discussion, as we had specifically already chosen the town map over the item descriptions. ^Maverick _Nate 18:13, 1 November 2013 (UTC)

I know it was at that location because of the Town Map, but the Town Map capitalizes everything in the "features" section regardless of if it should be or not; the Town Map's features section is not an appropriate standard for determining capitalizations. --SnorlaxMonster 16:29, 2 November 2013 (UTC)
