Template:Type effectiveness
Can you take a look at this template, to see if it's good for the mainspace, when more information for the Fairy type is released? Thanks. — Reshi643 19:55, 2 August 2013 (UTC)
- I took a look and it looks good to me. I'll have a few other staff members look over it as well for good measure. --Pokemaster97 20:13, 2 August 2013 (UTC)
User:CM Punk
I think that that username may break the impersonation rule. CM Punk is a professional wrestler. --It's Funktastic~!話してください 21:16, 6 August 2013 (UTC)
- Hmm, you're right. I'll take care of it. --Pokemaster97 00:02, 7 August 2013 (UTC)
Evolution page
If you haven't already, you might want to protect the Evolution page as well. Yamitora1 (talk) 16:05, 8 August 2013 (UTC)
- Thank you for the heads up. That has now been protected as well. --Pokemaster97 16:11, 8 August 2013 (UTC)
Please remove last trivia about Mawile. - unsigned comment from Viv (talk • contribs)
- Removed. --Pokemaster97 16:56, 8 August 2013 (UTC)
Game Systems
There any many emulators of Nintendo Gaming Systems. Shouldn't Bulbapedia have a small article about that since users play Pokemon Games on their PCs too ? PikaTepig999 (talk) 10:14, 15 August 2013 (UTC)
- The use of emulators and ROMs are a copyright violation and are used for illegal gameplay of Pokémon games, something that Bulbapedia or Bulbagarden as a whole, shouldn't be promoting. --Pokemaster97 15:15, 15 August 2013 (UTC)
- The only emulator that we could talk about would be the emulator used by the Virtual Console. (Even then, the only games that are related to the Pokémon series are Pokémon Snap, Pokémon Puzzle League, and Super Smash Bros.) --Super goku (talk) 16:49, 15 August 2013 (UTC)
Congrats!
Congratulations on completing your 3 years on Bulbapedia!!--Viv (talk) 15:19, 17 August 2013 (UTC)
- Thank you :) --Pokemaster97 15:53, 17 August 2013 (UTC)
Upload file
I created an art work of the national pokedex on Pokemon.com (in windows paint ). Can you upload it to the National Pokédex page ? It will be a help for viewers. PikaTepig999 (talk) 13:02, 21 August 2013 (UTC)
- It can be found at http://pokemon.wikia.com/wiki/File:National_pokedex.png PikaTepig999 (talk) 13:03, 21 August 2013 (UTC)
- That page seems rather condensed already with the two pictures we currently have, so I don't think adding a third would be the best idea. --Pokemaster97 14:16, 21 August 2013 (UTC)
Editing question
Sorry to bother you, but I need to know how to post my favorite song on my namespace to where it don't look confusing. - unsigned comment from Pnjfandubs (talk • contribs)
- I'm going to to need a little more information in order for me to try to help. Are trying to post it as a link? In an infobox? However, you've exceeded your userspace editing for the day, so I suggest that you hold off until tomorrow before trying to add more. --Pokemaster97 00:37, 30 August 2013 (UTC)
Editing request
Can you edit my userspace to where the text about me is in the right place, and that my favorite song shows? My favorite song is Pokémon Ondo. PNJスターデオの月山ニ郎 (talk) 03:25, 27 September 2013 (UTC)
Well, actually, you wouldn't have my favorite song here, but it's my favorite as far as Pokémon music. PNJスターデオの月山ニ郎 (talk) 03:31, 27 September 2013 (UTC)
- I fixed the text, but I wasn't sure what you meant by your favorite song, so I left that part out. --Pokemaster97 20:01, 27 September 2013 (UTC)
Jessie's Woobat
Why is the trivia being taken down? - unsigned comment from Rahl (talk • contribs)
- Other editors have given reasons such as "she has all of four Pokemon with confirmed genders, though it's not really necessary to note on this page regardless" and it being "too obvious". --Pokemaster97 23:00, 29 September 2013 (UTC)
Okay then explain about Emolga's trivia being the only confirmed female in Iris's team. - unsigned comment from Rahl (talk • contribs)
- It'd be best to ask the users who reverted you, since they were the ones who removed the trivia in question. Or, read the history of the page where all the edit summaries are listed. Also, please remember to sign with ~~~~. --Pokemaster97 00:25, 30 September 2013 (UTC)
Ok thanks.- unsigned comment from Rahl (talk • contribs)
New unimportantly Pokémon-related page I added
I'm surprised y'all haven't deleted and warned me about Pokémon Dubstep. - unsigned comment from Pnjfandubs (talk • contribs)
- It's one thing to create a bad article while trying to contribute the site, but it's another to knowingly create a bad article and taunt the administration about it. You're beginning to skate on thin ice with the unnotable fanpages and blatant advertising. I suggest stopping the behavior before it's too late. --Pokemaster97 01:08, 30 September 2013 (UTC)
"and taunt the administration about it": I didn't know that was taunting. Also, I didn't exactly know how to write it well. By the way, no one ever put my favorite song (Pokémon Ondo) on my userspace! PNJスターデオの月山ニ郎 (talk) 03:22, 30 September 2013 (UTC)
Thanks
Thanks for the tip! =) Marioiscool765 (talk) 02:36, 31 October 2013 (UTC)
- No prob! --Pokemaster97 02:50, 31 October 2013 (UTC)
Thank you.

That Talk Page HP Bar
So, I've seen this on alot of user talk pages around here, and I have not been able to figure it out. Perhaps you can explain to me how that bar works and how to implement one of my own? Because I am really curious about that. Schiffy (Speak to me|What I've done) 00:27, 11 November 2013 (UTC)
- It's basically a template that's built to decrease as your talk page fills up (though there are versions where you can manually update the number as well). The best example I can show you is here. Kinda hard to explain exactly how it works, but that's an example of the coding for it, I'm sure you could probably manipulate it to personalize it to your liking. I hope this helps, I'm not the best with explaining templates and such. --Pokemaster97 00:38, 11 November 2013 (UTC)
Espurr
I thought I was undoing Pokemon nomekop's edit, but it seemed I wasn't and I didn't notice that...and then I tried to just use a previous version of the page and it got an error... So I'll leave that to others now. =( Sorry. Tiddlywinks (talk) 02:47, 28 November 2013 (UTC)
- I figured it was just an accident, I got a little confused there for a minute. No need to worry. --Pokemaster97 02:48, 28 November 2013 (UTC)
- I actually see what happened. Your edit had the same timestamp, but even though (by its ID) it occurred later, it was listed below Pokemon nomekop's, so I thought his was most recent and tried to undo it and...actually, I don't really know how that ended up restoring his edit then, but yeah... Still, I didn't actually check the page, I was just looking at contribs/history. Oops. Tiddlywinks (talk) 02:55, 28 November 2013 (UTC)
- Hmmm, pretty weird. I guess we blame Bulbapedia then :p --Pokemaster97 02:59, 28 November 2013 (UTC)
Userpage
How many edits do I need to make before I am allowed a user page? Heavyslamaggron (talk) 03:52, 3 December 2013 (UTC)
- The number to become autoconfirmed is unspecified in order to prevent people from abusing the system and editing just enough to create a userpage. Continue editing and you'll be able to create your userpage in no time. --Pokemaster97 03:59, 3 December 2013 (UTC)
Thank you sir! Heavyslamaggron (talk) 04:00, 3 December 2013 (UTC)
Question on Name Origin Policies and Disputes
A Name Origin dispute has occurred on the Aggron page between myself and Relicant. Boss is already listed as one of the possible derivatives of the name Bossgodora. I put that the god in Bossgodora could derive from "Godfather" which beyond meaning a crime boss also has less "Tony, the don says take him for a ride and give him a pair cement shoes" meanings. However, Relicant repeatedly undid the edit, saying he did not see it and did not further deliberate on it.
Anyways, what is the best course of action in this dispute? I tried looking for the policies page but I am not the most tech-savy and couldn't navigate the site to find it. Even if i did, I am afraid I am also not the best when it comes to reading what I suspect would be a confusing wall of text. I am vaguely sure if I were to undo their edit again it would violate a policy (not sure, I just vaguely have memory of a three-edit limit on something) Well, I'm off to warm up my new 2DS before charging it (again, not a tech-savey person but I am pretty sure it being freezing cold from the UPS truck, its not a good idea to plug it in right away) -cheers! Yamitora1 (talk) 19:37, 9 December 2013 (UTC)
- The best and most immediate action would be to bring up the dispute on the talk page and discuss your reasoning for including it, so others can have a chance to comment their opinions on it as well, then see how that goes before deciding whether or not to add it to the page again. It'd be wise not to add it back anymore for now as an additional revision would be getting into edit war territory. There's no real policy specifically for Name Origin sections (If I'm recalling correctly), we just try to use our best judgement in that area. I hope this helps and let me know if you're having any more issues with this. --Pokemaster97 19:45, 9 December 2013 (UTC)
Archive?
Just a quick question. What does archive mean? I kinda don't really know what that means. Can you explain that to me of what mean. Also, I apologize for removing that comments on my talk page, I forgot that It was one of the rules of not to do that on my talk page, It was my mistake. Thanks for reminding me, I won't remove them anymore again. Marioiscool765 (talk) 23:46, 18 December 2013 (UTC)
- You can archive your talk page by clicking the move tab, then renaming your talk page "User talk:Marioiscool1765/Archive 1" or something along those lines. You may then start new with the original, (just remove the redirect link once you're complete). Let me know if you have any further questions. --Pokemaster97 23:58, 18 December 2013 (UTC)
- Rather than removing the redirect link, convert it to a regular link - there must be a way to get from your current talk page to any archives without searching (i.e. by following links). Werdnae (talk) 02:29, 19 December 2013 (UTC)
Editing for blocked users
Well, what do you know... I thought it was okay to do it if it was unrelated to the reason of blocking. I'm sorry, it won't happen again. --Gabo 2oo (talk) 04:31, 20 December 2013 (UTC)
My2ndaccount
That username might mean a sockpuppet of the original one or the user might have created a first one in another site. I'll let you decide on that since I don't have the authority to determine if the username is bad or not. PattyMan 05:16, 30 December 2013 (UTC)
- I had a word with them. --Pokemaster97 16:46, 30 December 2013 (UTC)

I'm not sure if they're needed, but here they are all the same. Cheers! Yamitora1 (talk) 10:12, 31 December 2013 (UTC)
- I'll talk to the other staff and see if we can find a place for them. --Pokemaster97 20:07, 31 December 2013 (UTC)
- I'm sorry if I bothered you I was just trying to help out. like I said, they are just there if needed or wanted. Yamitora1 (talk) 22:52, 31 December 2013 (UTC)
- You didn't bother me, I was just dealing with an difficult Archives situation during the time I replied. Don't ever be afraid to talk to the staff about anything. --Pokemaster97 23:00, 31 December 2013 (UTC)
- Oh I seem well as long as everything was alright between you and me. Cheers and happy new years! ^_^ Yamitora1 (talk) 23:05, 31 December 2013 (UTC)
Oval Charm redirect
Every time I type in Oval Charm, I am automatically taken to List of key items in Generation V The item is also listed as a Gen V exclusive despite it being available in the Gen VI games. Is this suppose to be, or should this be changed? Yamitora1 (talk) 05:50, 19 January 2014 (UTC)
- Yeah, that's definitely something that should be fixed. I want to talk to G50 about it to see what she thinks we should do with them since she the project items leader. Thank you for bringing it to my attention though. --Pokemaster97 21:18, 19 January 2014 (UTC)
Typos
Do you see any other typos because a user has its own typo subpage. --Cinday123 (Talk) 22:20, 24 January 2014 (UTC)
- I don't see any typos at the moment, but if I see any, I'll be sure to add them. --Pokemaster97 22:24, 24 January 2014 (UTC)

Pokemaster97, the user ?8 has more than three userspace edits, will you warn this user about the userspace policy? --Cinday123 (Talk) 00:57, 27 January 2014 (UTC)
- Message left. --Pokemaster97 01:01, 27 January 2014 (UTC)
Mystery Dungeon items
Can I make a request to have Gracidea in the {{Mystery Dungeon items}} template be changed to Gracidea, so that it isn't linked to a redirect? — Reshi643 02:31, 27 January 2014 (UTC)
- Looks like Funktastic took care of it. Thanks for bringing it to my attention though. --Pokemaster97 02:36, 27 January 2014 (UTC)
Thanks
Thanks for deleting those pages I made by mistake where I put a {{subst:welcome}} and should have been put in the talk page. Sorry about that. ----Ethan (Discussion) 03:41, 31 January 2014 (UTC)
- No need to worry, it happens. :p --Pokemaster97 04:05, 31 January 2014 (UTC)
I'd like to upload or replace a image, but I can't figure out how.
I want to upload a new version of a:File:Missingno_glitch_walking_players.png, but I don't quite know how. It says I need to be autoconfirmed, but if I can't upload images how do I edit the pages there and become autoconfirmed? Or is it autoconfirmed anywhere on the wiki? --Pokechu22 (talk) 19:05, 13 February 2014 (UTC)
- Firstly, all image uploads are handled on the Bulbagarden Archives. You can become autoconfirmed by editing pages and helping out with small tasks on both the Archives and Bulbapedia (though they're separate, so being autoconfirmed on one doesn't necessarily equal being autoconfirmed on the other. Another factor is how new to the site you are. Since it looks like you only just registered, you're going to have to spend a little more time editing first before you can become autoconfirmed. I hope I explained things alright for you. --Pokemaster97 19:16, 13 February 2014 (UTC)
- That's a fairly good explanation, thanks. But what kinds of things would you edit on the archives? Typos? Tagging? Categorizing? --Pokechu22 (talk) 19:29, 13 February 2014 (UTC)
- Yeah, that's pretty much the gist of it. --Pokemaster97 19:34, 13 February 2014 (UTC)
- When you are autoconfirmed, is there a email sent? Pokechu22 (talk) 20:10, 13 February 2014 (UTC)
- To be quite honest, I don't remember, it's been quite some time since I've been autoconfirmed. You can check by clicking on your preferences, it should say "autoconfirmed user" under your groups. --Pokemaster97 20:28, 13 February 2014 (UTC)
- Ah, thanks. Right now it says "users" and "emailconfirmed", I'm assuming that "emailconfirmed" is separate. Thanks for your help! --Pokechu22 (talk) 20:30, 13 February 2014 (UTC)
- Just wanted to note that I never got anything about being autoconfirmed on any bulbawiki site. It just happens. --It's Funktastic~!話してください 20:42, 13 February 2014 (UTC)
- Pardon the intrusion, but no, there is no email sent or anything. My account on archives was only recently placed into that group. Like Funk said, it just happens. Schiffy (瀬藤健二) (Talk Contribs) 22:51,2/13/2014 (UTC)
- Ok, another question: What images should I tag as jpg? Is there any case where it is ok for a image to be a jpg or gif? --Pokechu22 (talk) 20:44, 14 February 2014 (UTC)
- "Stock artwork should be saved as .jpg, except when the background is transparent, in which case .png is preferred." Scans are also acceptable as .jpgs, but pngs are preferred where available. --Pokemaster97 22:00, 14 February 2014 (UTC)
- Ok, that makes sense. --Pokechu22 (talk) 22:26, 14 February 2014 (UTC)
- One more thing: While I still haven't been autoconfirmed, I am email confirmed, and according to Special:ListGroupRights on archives (that's a external link due to my inability to figure out interwiki links), I should be able to upload images. But when I try to, I get this error message:
You do not have permission to create new pages. Is this intentional or a bug? --Pokechu22 (talk) 22:26, 14 February 2014 (UTC)
- While the original settings intended for email confirmed users to be able to upload, it's been set so you cannot until you have the additional autoconfirm right. The Autoconfirm right " Create pages (which are not discussion pages) (createpage)", so that may be overriding the uploading aspect because pages are created during uploads. --Pokemaster97 22:41, 14 February 2014 (UTC)
Pokemonmysterysolver
Pokemaster97, Pokemonmysterysolver is not following the Manual of style a few minutes ago. --Cinday123 (Talk) 23:07, 14 February 2014 (UTC)
- It looks like they haven't done anything else incorrectly for the time being. If it continues I'll talk to them. --Pokemaster97 23:11, 14 February 2014 (UTC)
- I should add to this that before contacting you, Cinday123 left a message on this user's talk page that she would move to have them blocked over bad spelling/grammar/punctuation without checking to see if that was even something that a user can be blocked for first..... Schiffy (瀬藤健二) (Talk Contribs) 23:19,2/14/2014 (UTC)
- I didn't do it, I improved edits according to the Manual of Style. --Cinday123 (Talk) 23:23, 14 February 2014 (UTC)
- "Please read the Manual of style, you're using Pokemon without an e-acute instead of Pokémon and not using capital letters at the beginning and full stops at the end, if you don't improve your edits, I'll contact an admin and block you. --Cinday123 (Talk) 22:56, 14 February 2014 (UTC)" - this is the message you left on this user's talk page. You really have to stop issuing warnings to users as if you were staff, as you attempted to do to me twice only one month ago, without first understanding the nature of the issue and not listening when I explained it. Schiffy (瀬藤健二) (Talk Contribs) 23:24,2/14/2014 (UTC)
- See? Now I stopped issuing other users, now I'll have to talk about Diancie, and I already followed the Manual of style. --Cinday123 (Talk) 23:28, 14 February 2014 (UTC)
Twitch
I actually do use the preview button. I edit the article very rapidly because it's an ongoing event with a lot of potential for change in a small period of time (that sounds ironic, given the nature of Twitch).
Philosophical-Psychological Informist Togekiss (talk) 04:25, 21 February 2014 (UTC)
- That's understandable. At one of the edits I happened to look at it was you changing "Poke" -> "Poké", which I thought was a result of rushing and not previewing. Sorry for misunderstanding. --Pokemaster97 04:52, 21 February 2014 (UTC)
Images not updating?
Hello. A while ago, I uploaded a new version of a:file:Missingno_glitch_walking_players.png. On the archives the file has updated, but it has not for the image on the main site. It has been around a week, and the file still has not changed. Is this normal? What is the time I should expect? Is there something I should do? --Pokechu22 (talk) 06:37, 2 March 2014 (UTC)
