[[File:Pokemon-to-real-world.png|thumb|right|250px|The map of Japan showing the four main Japanese Pokémon regions.]]
The designs of five of the major Pokémon regions - [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], [[Hoenn]], [[Sinnoh]], and [[Unova]] - are strikingly similar in geography and demographics to regions in the real world. The first four regions are based on smaller regions in {{wp|Japan}}, while Unova is based on the {{wp|New York metropolitan area}}.

==Main Regions==

===Kanto===
The {{wp|Kanto region|Kantō region}} of Japan is not only identical in name to [[Kanto]] in the [[Pokémon world]], it is also very similar geographically; however, the western part of the game Kanto corresponds to eastern {{wp|Chubu region|Chūbu}}.

===Sinnoh===
Sinnoh has been said to be an island like Hoenn, rather than a peninsula. It is based on the northernmost major island of Japan, {{wp|Hokkaido}}. Part of {{wp|Sakhalin}} (Japanese: 樺太 ''Karafuto'') and {{wp|Kunashir Island}} (Japanese: 国後島 ''Kunashiri Island''), territories which are in dispute between {{wp|Russia}} and Japan, are also included.

==Side regions==

[[Almia]] appears to be based on the {{wp|Matsumae Peninsula}}, {{wp|Kameda Peninsula}}, and {{wp|Oshima Peninsula}} of {{wp|Hokkaido}}.

==Landscape==
While the above locations are meant to correspond to the different regions of Japan, great liberties were taken with the design of their landscape. Some of the designers have admitted to drawing inspiration from real-world locations outside Japan, especially with locations shown in [[Pokémon movie]]s.

==Other applications of real-world locations==
[[File:Mewtwo in the City.png|right|thumb|260px|Mewtwo overlooking a "far away city" at the end of ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]'']]
* In {{5v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, {{jo|Webster}}, the guard in the [[gate]] north of [[Goldenrod City]], will give the player a {{p|Spearow}} holding mail to deliver. The Spearow is nicknamed {{wp|Kenya}}, the name of a country in {{wp|Africa}}.

* In all of the [[version|main series]] games, and some side series games, there is a [[Nintendo]] gaming console in the {{player}}'s bedroom. This is a reference to the real world gaming company that owns the franchise.
* The {{p|Arceus}} event that takes place in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} includes real life pictures in the game.

[[File:Pokemon-to-real-world.png|thumb|right|250px|The map of Japan showing the four main Japanese Pokémon regions.]]
The designs of five of the major Pokémon regions - [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], [[Hoenn]], [[Sinnoh]], and [[Unova]] - are strikingly similar in geography and demographics to regions in the real world. The first four regions are based on smaller regions in {{wp|Japan}}, while Unova is based on the {{wp|New York metropolitan area}}.

==Main Regions==

===Kanto===
The {{wp|Kanto region|Kantō region}} of Japan is not only identical in name to [[Kanto]] in the [[Pokémon world]], it is also very similar geographically; however, the western part of the game Kanto corresponds to eastern {{wp|Chubu region|Chūbu}}.

==Side regions==
{{incomplete|section}}
The US State of {{wp|Arizona}} has been confirmed as the basis for Orre.<ref>http://www.nintendo.co.jp/nom/0311/soft/interv01.html</ref>

[[Almia]] appears to be based on the {{wp|Matsumae Peninsula}}, {{wp|Kameda Peninsula}}, and {{wp|Oshima Peninsula}} of {{wp|Hokkaido}}.

==Landscape==
While the above locations are meant to correspond to the different regions of Japan, great liberties were taken with the design of their landscape. Some of the designers have admitted to drawing inspiration from real-world locations outside Japan, especially with locations shown in [[Pokémon movie]]s.

* [[Lt. Surge]] is known as "The Lightning {{wp|United States|American}}!"
* {{p|Mew}} was originally discovered in the jungles of the {{wp|South America}}n country [[Guyana]]. This is mentioned in logs inside of Cinnabar Island's {{ka|Pokémon Mansion}}.

* {{p|Poliwrath}}'s Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum Pokédex entries mention its ability to swim the {{wp|Pacific Ocean}}. Also, it is to be noted that the direction of its spirals depends on their geographical location.

* [[Silph Co.]] has a branch in {{wp|Tiksi}}, {{wp|Russia}}.
* In ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', Team Rocket are disguised as {{wp|vikings}}. In the English dub, [[Brock]] says that he didn't know that vikings still existed and {{Ash}} replies that they "mostly live in {{wp|Minnesota}}." This is clearly a reference to the {{wp|Minnesota Vikings}} football team.
:*Though in the Swedish dub of the movie, Ash replies to Brock that they come from {{wp|Norway}}. Most likely referring to the Scandinavian Vikings that lived in the 8-11th century.
* {{p|Ponyta}}'s Pokédex entries mentions that it can clear {{wp|Uluru|Ayers Rock}} and jump over the {{wp|Eiffel Tower}} in one leap. {{wp|Tokyo Tower}} is referred in the original Japanese version.
* A {{tc|Guitarist}} that can be battled in the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|IV}} mentions that his guitar is actually a {{wp|Shamisen|Japanese instrument}}.
* In ''[[EP009|School of Hard Knocks]]'', {{an|Misty}} mentions wanting to go to {{wp|Paris}}.
* In ''[[EP100|Wherefore Art Thou, Pokémon?]]'', {{an|Misty}} described the town like being in 'Merry Old England,' in which it could possibly be based on Tudor Time {{wp|Stratford-Upon-Avon}}. It is also the same historic town where the story's inspirational author, {{wp|William Shakespeare}} was born.
* In ''[[AG132|The Scheme Team]]'', [[Jessie]] talks about {{wp|Antarctica}}, the place where their next assignment is located. It should be noted that this was dub-added.
* In ''[[M04|Celebi: Voice of the Forest]]'', Meowth asks if they saw Vicious in a {{wp|Lucha libre|Mexican wrestling}} movie.
* In the English version of ''[[EP043|The March of the Exeggutor Squad]]'', Melvin says he wanted to make it to {{wp|Las Vegas}}. It should be noted that he said that he wanted to make it to {{wp|Broadway}} in the Japanese version.

* In ''[[EP032|The Ninja Poké-Showdown]]'', James says that the Fuchsia Gym looks like a Japanese restaurant.
* In ''[[M05|Pokémon Heroes]]'', Misty makes a direct reference to the Earth stating that, "The Earth is so pretty."

* In ''[[AG011|A Bite to Remember]]'', Jessie says that {{wp|Albert Einstein}} created the {{wp|Incandescent light bulb|light bulb}}. Max corrects her, saying that {{wp|Thomas Edison}} was the creator.
* A {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}} mentions the hula dance to a [[Kimono Girl]] while in the Ecruteak dance theater.
* The main series games have featured staff members of [[Game Freak]] that typically [[Diploma|reward]] the player for completing the [[National Pokédex]], or occasionally through alternative methods. [[Shigeki Morimoto|One in particular]] can actually be battled in-game.

==Other applications of real-world locations==
[[File:Mewtwo in the City.png|right|thumb|260px|Mewtwo overlooking a "far away city" at the end of ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]'']]
* In {{5v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, {{jo|Webster}}, the guard in the [[gate]] north of [[Goldenrod City]], will give the player a {{p|Spearow}} holding mail to deliver. The Spearow is nicknamed {{wp|Kenya}}, the name of a country in {{wp|Africa}}.
* In {{p|Raichu}}'s [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed]] [[Pokédex]] entry, {{wp|Indian Elephant}}s are mentioned. Incidentally, {{p|Gastly}}'s FireRed entry mentions the same thing.
* At the end of ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]'', Mewtwo is shown overlooking a "far away city" that greatly resembles {{wp|New York City}}. Buildings similar to the {{wp|Chrysler Building}} and the {{wp|MetLife Building}} are visible in the distance.
* In ''[[EP270|Can't Beat the Heat]]'', {{Ash}}'s {{AP|Charizard}} uses {{m|Seismic Toss}}. Normally, a cloudy globe can be seen, but this time the {{wp|Pacific Ocean}} and {{wp|Australia}} are prominent. This also happens in ''[[EP059|Volcanic Panic]]'' and the introduction to ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]''. This phenomenon may be common in the original series
* In all of the [[version|main series]] games, and some side series games, there is a [[Nintendo]] gaming console in the {{player}}'s bedroom. This is a reference to the real world gaming company that owns the franchise.
* The {{p|Arceus}} event that takes place in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} includes real life pictures in the game.
* [[Game Freak]]'s offices are present in the [[Celadon Condominiums]], a possible reference to their real-world office of {{wp|Carrot Tower}}.
* Both {{p|Articuno}} and {{p|Beartic}}'s names are derived from the real world location, The {{wp|Arctic}}.
* In ''[[BW038|Movie Time! Zorua in "The Legend of the Pokémon Knight"!]]'', the {{wp|Eiffel Tower}} and the {{wp|Arc de Triomphe}} were seen on a movie poster.
* In the movie ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', Kidd's boss's office is in a city that resembles {{wp|New York City}}.
* In [[BW045]], a painting within the resort created by {{p|Beheeyem}} bears a striking resemblance to ''{{wp|Relativity (M. C. Escher)|Relativity}}'' by {{wp|M. C. Escher}}.

== Reshiram's tail ==

Reshiram's tail, like Zekrom's, is based on an electric turbine. We have an official source telling us that. The source is linked in the origin section of the article, right after the text which says that its tail is an electric turbine. [http://pokemonblackandwhite.net/?p=1641 This is the source]. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 11:43, 2 September 2011 (UTC)

== User space ==

Hey, I'd just like to remind you that you should try and balance out your user space edits with your main space edits. You were recently prevented from editing your user page for a week, and only edited the main space once that entire week. The rest of the edits were made on user talk pages. While it's nice to communicate with others, still try to contribute to the main space as much as you can. While it's nice of you to keep up with the one user space edit a day, you ''still'' need to be contributing to the main space. Thanks.

Anyway, just noticed the English opening theme for recent episodes aren't hidden. Aren't they normally hidden until a US date is revealed (even if they normally start a new season in the 50's)? Kinda forgot. [[User:Tc26/Anime Predictions|-tc]][[User:Tc26|²₆]][[User talk:Tc26|tc]][[User:Tc26/Sandbox|26-]] 10:38, 18 August 2011 (UTC)

==The Summer Academy==
So Kenji, I got a bunch of pictures of all the wild Pokémon around the [[Pokémon Summer Academy]] and I'm going to add the template to the page. I have a question about the Ghost-types that appear around the area, however. Should I place the list of Ghost-types in the Pokémon Academy page itself, or in the [[Summit Ruins]], since they were in the woods around it?

==Flamethrower or Overheat==
Here I am again, asking your opinion on a move. In Victini and the black hero, Reshiram uses Flamethrower when it first reveals itself to Ash and co, well, I listed it as Flamethrower, but the flame was much bigger than when Emboar used it earlyer in the movie and their were flames swirling off of it. What do you think, Flamethrower or Overheat? [[User:05308|Diamond]] [[Lanturn (Pokémon)|Lanturn]] [[User talk:05308|CodeName: 05308]] 13:22, 28 August 2011 (UTC)

I'm guessing you're the admin who closed the edit war over route 5, and it turned out in my favor, which isn't really my personal favor as much as it is common sense.

Long story short, thanks for ending the edit war.

I believe that it's ridiculous to turn two ''featured articles'' into lists of links to short stubs about the facilities.--[[User:Tempest370|Tempest370]] 18:36, 1 August 2011 (UTC)
:Stubs? You must be joking. Those articles are huge. Each section is big enough for its own article. Plus, if we did, it would make it a lot easier to add the anime and manga sections to both the individual facilities and the overall frontier. It's consistent with what we usually do as well; for example: [[Department Store]]s, [[Game Corner]]s, [[Trainer House]], [[Passerby Analytics HQ]], [[Big Stadium and Small Court]], [[Battle Subway]]—all of which are articles about facilities (not necessarily battle facilities) in other locations which are too important to be a part of their location's article.
:If we were to split them, the Gen III Battle Frontier's Battle Tower would be merged with [[Battle Tower (Hoenn)]], and the Gen IV one with [[Battle Tower (Sinnoh)]] (not [[Battle Tower (Johto)]] though, because these are being done by Generation). The [[List of wild Pokémon in the Battle Pyramid]] would become part of the Battle Pyramid article. I agree that the Battle Palace has a very short section at the moment, and in its current state it would be a stub, but there is plenty of information that ''can'' be added to it.
:Also, there is plenty of non-facility content on the Frontier pages. If they can't hold up a featured article without the facilities crammed in there, then they shouldn't be featured anyway. They look like 5/7 articles forced onto one page.
:The fact is that the more pages which should be separate which you cram into one, the information is omitted due to the size of the page. They were "discussed" over two years ago—we are looking at more complete, information-packed pages than before. Also, I don't consider "Should we do this?" "Nah." to be a discussion. If it had really been discussed, those sections would actually have more than two comments. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 08:27, 2 August 2011 (UTC)
::Plus they kind of need some in depth anime and manga info...*cough* [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] 08:40, 2 August 2011 (UTC)
:::I'm not really sure which way you are arguing, but I agree. Splitting them will open up the anime and manga sections, and make it clear that both information on the individual facilities and the frontier as a whole is required. When you have anime and manga subsections throughout an article, you can tell it is time to split. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 08:43, 2 August 2011 (UTC)

== Why Did You Revert Me? ==

:It's one of only four Dragon-type pseudo-legendary Pokémon. It would be notable if they were all Dragon-type, but when two of them aren't, it isn't really notable.

== Questions about a Gen II Glitch ==

I found out about '''[http://www.glitcher.net/shiny-pokemon-glitch1106.htm this] glitch''' which occurs in the Japanese versions of Gold and Silver, and I noticed that the 'Pedia doesn't have an article about it. I was going to write an article for it, but I got kinda confused about the whole thing; so I thought I would firstly ask to see if you or indeed anyone on the Project Glitchdex team know anything about this and might be able to offer some thoughts/advice on how to write an article on it.

Firstly, and very importantly: what would an article on this glitch be called? The link above refers to it as a 'Shiny Glitch'; however, it can occur without any [[Shiny Pokémon]] involved in it whatsoever ('creating' shiny Pokémon is just a popular use for the glitch). It wouldn't be a [[Pokémon cloning|'cloning glitch']], seeing as it doesn't create '''perfect copies''' of Pokémon data. I was thinking then of calling it a 'Bug Catching Contest glitch'; but I'm not sure if that seems right either?

Secondly, after performing the glitch I'm not sure of its **exact** effect. The Pokémon data created is of the same species as the Pokémon that was in second, but its name and stats are different to that Pokémon; and the new Pokémon data has the same moveset as the Pokémon that was in last position, and will be shiny if the Pokémon in last was shiny. Does that mean, then, that the new data inherits the [[individual values|IVs]] of the Pokémon that was last in the party?

Do you have knowledge of this glitch, and how an article on it might be written? (Or, if it is the case, if the article should '''not''' be written?) '''[[Special:Contributions/ShiningSteelix|***]][[User talk:ShiningSteelix|shiningSteelix***]]''' 19:03, 7 August 2011 (UTC)
:Thanks for mentioning this. I think [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e4D6wJGGqZA this video] is the same glitch (if it is not, then please let me know, but it is as far as I can tell). The user of that Youtube account, {{u|Chickasaurus}}, has videos on several glitches Bulbapedia does not yet document. I do intend to get around to writing them, but I tend to try to do too many things at once. Since this one was brought up though, I'll go write it now. Also, for simplicity's sake, I'm going to use Chickasaurus's name for it too. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 09:19, 8 August 2011 (UTC)

Hi. This glitch seems to have been around since years ago, but with a slightly erroneous description. There seem to be two copies of the glitch on that site; this is the right one [http://www.glitcher.net/turn-any-pok%C3%A9mon-into-gold-and-duplicate-items-japanese-version-only-glitch95.htm], albeit [http://www.glitcher.net/shiny-pokemon-glitch1106.htm the other slightly erroneous description] mentioned seems to be more widespread. I've seen the latter on really early websites predating 'glitcher.net', and it seems like it's been spread without people really checking it.

To clarify, the glitch only works in Japanese {{2v2|Gold|Silver}} because you can't {{m|Fly}} away from the [[Bug-Catching Contest]] in English versions, which is probably the cause for some of the confusion. Even though this is called a Shiny Pokémon glitch, what the glitch does is basically use a donor Pokémon (like the red Gyarados) and copies its properties to another Pokémon when you withdraw it at the Bug Catching Contest, meaning you could use it for anything really (e.g. to teach an [unstable] Pikachu Surf and Fly). Since you deposited your recipient Pokémon, this means you can also get your original back and keep the new hybrid Pokémon you receive. The glitch is an exploit of being able to escape the Bug-Catching Contest and tricking the game into thinking you're still in the contest, which is why if you walked back in after walking out, saying NO to come back in then Flying away the game would force you to walk down into the void when you walk back into the entrance as if you were trying to walk out from the north.

The trick is to deposit the donor last, perform the exploit, deposit a target Pokémon underneath it, save then return after a few minutes after the contest has finished. For some reason or another, the game lets you withdraw an unstable hybrid of the Pokémon above the Pokémon you last deposited. This glitch does not copy just DVs, but everything including the name, stats, moves, etc. It copies one byte of the species, but not the other so it's basically an unstable hybrid of the original Pokémon. If you deposit it into Day Care, it will revert back into the original Pokémon, so I believe the trick is to evolve it to stabilize the Pokémon (e.g. use a stone), however the glitch will work regardless of the Pokémon used provided that you're using the Japanese version. --[[User:Chickasaurus|Chickasaurus]] 12:29, 8 August 2011 (UTC)
: Thanks muchly for the clarifications on this glitch <=).
I went ahead and wrote the [[Bug-Catching Contest data copy glitch|article]] now, based on the discussion here and {{tt|my own knowledge of the glitch|I have translated copies of the Japanese versions of Gold and Silver myself}}; and I'm getting 'round to linking it to the other relevant glitch pages. But still, of course, feel to edit the article in any way needed; in particular, a possible explanation as to why the glitch occurs and maybe some images (if possible) may be helpful...

== Arbok ==

Good afternoon.

Is [[a:File:Pokémon_Adventures_Arbok_patterns.jpg|this file]] necessary? The four patterns shown were already uploaded to the Archives. I removed it from [[Form differences]]. It's OK if you put back, but please don't undo my edition, I also changed other stuff. '''|) u |( e''' 20:04, 11 August 2011 (UTC)
:I thought of something, the image you uploaded would be even in larger size. Tell me if you like it:

[[File:Pokémon Adventures Arbok patterns.jpg|230px|thumb|right|Arbok's patterns as discribed in Pokémon Adventures]]
:* The [[Generation I]] [[Pokédex]] entries for {{p|Arbok}} state that there are six variations of markings on its belly that differ between [[region]]s. The pattern has differed in sprites; however, this is dependent on the game the Pokémon is in, rather than the game in which it was caught. In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, Arbok's abilities vary depending on its pattern.

::Sorry to use your topic Maxim, but this is something I was also thinking of.

I think it would be accepted, based on these two: [[Trainer (EP248)]]; [[Arnold's mother]].

Are you saying that Sneasel and Chimchar can only have Assist as an egg move in HGSS, and not DPPt? [[User:LimeGreenCharizard|LimeGreenCharizard]] 04:24, 14 August 2011 (UTC)
:Yes. Sneasal and Chimchar will not know Assist if the father does in DPPt, but will in HGSS. Also, we only include Pokémon that learn it via level up and can be a father, so Delcatty should not be listed since it does not learn it, only Skitty does. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 04:35, 14 August 2011 (UTC)
::Fine, but the reason for the confusion was because of the fact that it was messed up in the first place. And I fixed it. Also, if we're only supposed to list Pokémon by level up, then why is it that on multiple Pokémon pages that I have looked at, under their specific breeding info, this isn't true? Example:Jolteon is listed under Sneasel's page as being able to pass on Bite. [[User:LimeGreenCharizard|LimeGreenCharizard]] 04:44, 14 August 2011 (UTC)
:::Yeah, that's the way it is supposed to be, but unfortunately a lot of Pokémon pages use a different standard to the move pages. They should all use that standard, where only Pokémon that can father the Pokémon and learn it via level up should be listed. If it can only be passed on by chain breeding or Pokémon which learned it in a previous generation, they should be listed, and that fact should be noted. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 04:49, 14 August 2011 (UTC)

== Questions ==

Hi SnorlaxMonster!

I have a few questions. Remember when you replied to me on [[User talk:PsychicRider|PsychicRider's talk page]] about the template for the regions. I asked you if it was okay to move Orre, but I'm not sure if you saw it.

My next question is about the Pokémon released by date. I have created one for [[User:Han Ji-Wan/Pokémon by release date (Generation IV)|Generation IV]]. I just want to know if a Pokémon was revealed at a gaming conference (like Kecleon at the PokeFesta event), is that considered an official reveal or leaked? I have a few more questions about other Pokemon's reveal, but can't remember, so I will ask you again once I do.

Also, how do we get all 3 pages (3rd, 4th, and 5th generations) mainspaced? It would probably be better if we combined all three generations into one article, but I want to hear your input. [[User:Han Ji-Wan|Han Ji-Wan]] 02:16, 17 August 2011 (UTC)
:Sorry for the delay in my reply; I saw it yesterday, then Bulbapedia was down (even checked with [http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/ this]) when I tried to reply.
:Anyway, I think the Main/Side/Spin-off needs to happen. After that quote from Masuda, nobody disagreed, but nobody has actually bothered to do much about it. For it to actually happen, we need to work on getting [[version]] moved to [[main series]], and the creation of a separate [[side series]] page. Anyway, after I left that message on your talk page, psy talked to me about it, and his main problem was the format rather than the intent.
:For my Gen V one, I was pretty much going by what Bulbapedia/news did. I would say that if it revealed officially like Zoroark was, appears with a name and art (even in a leaked magazine scan), appears in the anime, or by the game they are in being released, with them available without glitches or cheating. I don't really know the circumstances of PokéFesta. Was it revealed by people playing a demo version, or was it announced there?
:I never really intended for the pages to be separate. Go ahead and add your data if you want, but keep them in separate sections. Also, I would prefer having links on the dates, even if it means linking to Serebii. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 08:57, 18 August 2011 (UTC)

== Pokémon Reference ==

Hey I noticed the Pokémon reference page and I came across a show that possibly has a reference in it. It's in a show called MXC, known in Japan as Takeshi's Castle, and in certain episodes there is a game on there called Sperm Wheelers. They ride a bicycle that has a whale prop attached to it, that's why it's called that. The colors were blue, pink, and green. The blue one looks like {{p|Wailord}} and the pink one looks like its [[Shiny]] form. Do you think this is notable? I might be able to find pictures for proof. [[User:Pokedex493|Pokedex493]] 06:43, 3 September 2011 (UTC)
:I haven't heard of that show before, and I couldn't find any images of whales from it with a quick Google search. If you could get me an image, I could make a better judgement, but it sounds to me like it just slightly resembles a Wailord. If there was a green one as well, I think it was just a coincidence. However, I have not seen an image fo the whales, so I cannot makee an accurate judgement. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 11:55, 4 September 2011 (UTC)

Yea I thought it was a jet engine because i read that it expells fire through it in order to propel it forward, like a jet engine.

:The user was clearly being destructive. If a user joins and just does clearly vandalistic edits straight away, protocol is to block without warning. If they had been constructive beforehand, they would still receive a block, but not a permaban.

== Info tabs==

Hi i am very new here and if you don't mind i will be asking a question or two once in a while.
I looked at your user page and was wondering how you put up those little tabs on the side saying either what you did on Bulbapedia or just little facts about yourself. Exactly how do you do that? [[User:Arceustheomnipotent|Arceustheomnipotent]] 05:39, 19 September 2011 (UTC)
:That's okay, I don't mind answering your questions. Those little tabs are called usertags. You can click edit while looking at my page to see the code for them if you want (but don't save). There is a help page for teaching users to use usertags {{bp|usertags|here}}. If you have any further questions, don't hesitate to ask. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 07:24, 19 September 2011 (UTC)
I actually don't have a userpage yet, and a problem has come up in creating it.

[[User:Arceustheomnipotent|Arceustheomnipotent]] 04:25, 22 September 2011 (UTC)
:Yes, it is correct. You need to edit articles in the [[mainspace]] before you can edit your [[userspace]]. It is outlined in the {{bp|userspace policy}}. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 11:43, 24 September 2011 (UTC)

== Questions ==

Okay, I've got some questions to ask you. I know this is a MediaWiki powered wiki, but is this supported by a wiki farm or is this hosted by a webmaster or someone? Why are all pages protected for unregistered users and is there a policy for this wiki? If you could answer these questions, it would be helpful. Thanks. [[User:Natsu11|Natsu11]] 10:35, 22 September 2011 (UTC)
:Bulbapedia is not hosted by a wikifarm. Bulbapedia is part of [[Bulbasaur's Mysterious Garden]], whose webmaster is [[Archaic]]. In fact, Bulbapedia is one of the founding members of the [[Nintendo Independent Wiki Alliance]], a group of wikis that are independent of wikifarms. A long time ago, it was decided that only users who have accounts should edit; it is not very difficult to create an account, and it makes things a lot more simple overall. It also deters vandals. There are several policies on this wiki: the most important policies are outlined on your welcome, the policy hub is located at [[Bulbapedia:Policy]] (although it is fairly outdated), and you can find a complete list of all of our policies {{cat|Bulbapedia policies|here}}.

Likewise, you will see this for pages that have been autoconfirmed protected. "View source" will also replace "edit this page" on pages in the MediaWiki namespace, as only {{bp|bureaucrat}}s and higher can edit these pages, even without being protected. Furthermore, if you don't have userspace rights (you are not autoconfirmed or are in abuse), you will also see "view source" on pages in your userspace. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 06:23, 10 October 2011 (UTC)

I'm guessing you're the admin who closed the edit war over route 5, and it turned out in my favor, which isn't really my personal favor as much as it is common sense.

Long story short, thanks for ending the edit war.
(Is this even where I'm suppose to post this sort of thing?) {{unsigned|Johto-Master}}
:You are correct, it was me. I don't really understand why it would be that way either. Just note that in future, it is better to discuss the edit on the other user's talk page or the talk page of the article, or simply contact an admin to resolve the conflict.

Can you (or anyone else reading this who's bored and wants to try something really new) do me a huge favour and take care of the Danish article on Bulbanews right now?

== About splitting the Battle Frontier articles... ==

What??? Don't tell me that you'd prefer to have a bunch of stubs instead of two very organized, high quality articles. Besides, ''this was already discussed before'':
[http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Talk:Battle_Frontier_%28Generation_IV%29/Sinnoh#Seperate_articles]
[http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Talk:Battle_Frontier_%28Generation_IV%29/Featured_article_candidate#Other_comments]
I believe that it's ridiculous to turn two ''featured articles'' into lists of links to short stubs about the facilities.--[[User:Tempest370|Tempest370]] 18:36, 1 August 2011 (UTC)
:Stubs? You must be joking. Those articles are huge. Each section is big enough for its own article. Plus, if we did, it would make it a lot easier to add the anime and manga sections to both the individual facilities and the overall frontier. It's consistent with what we usually do as well; for example: [[Department Store]]s, [[Game Corner]]s, [[Trainer House]], [[Passerby Analytics HQ]], [[Big Stadium and Small Court]], [[Battle Subway]]—all of which are articles about facilities (not necessarily battle facilities) in other locations which are too important to be a part of their location's article.
:If we were to split them, the Gen III Battle Frontier's Battle Tower would be merged with [[Battle Tower (Hoenn)]], and the Gen IV one with [[Battle Tower (Sinnoh)]] (not [[Battle Tower (Johto)]] though, because these are being done by Generation). The [[List of wild Pokémon in the Battle Pyramid]] would become part of the Battle Pyramid article. I agree that the Battle Palace has a very short section at the moment, and in its current state it would be a stub, but there is plenty of information that ''can'' be added to it.
:Also, there is plenty of non-facility content on the Frontier pages. If they can't hold up a featured article without the facilities crammed in there, then they shouldn't be featured anyway. They look like 5/7 articles forced onto one page.
:The fact is that the more pages which should be separate which you cram into one, the information is omitted due to the size of the page. They were "discussed" over two years ago—we are looking at more complete, information-packed pages than before. Also, I don't consider "Should we do this?" "Nah." to be a discussion. If it had really been discussed, those sections would actually have more than two comments. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 08:27, 2 August 2011 (UTC)

:::I'm not really sure which way you are arguing, but I agree. Splitting them will open up the anime and manga sections, and make it clear that both information on the individual facilities and the frontier as a whole is required. When you have anime and manga subsections throughout an article, you can tell it is time to split. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 08:43, 2 August 2011 (UTC)

== Questions about a Gen II Glitch ==

I found out about '''[http://www.glitcher.net/shiny-pokemon-glitch1106.htm this] glitch''' which occurs in the Japanese versions of Gold and Silver, and I noticed that the 'Pedia doesn't have an article about it. I was going to write an article for it, but I got kinda confused about the whole thing; so I thought I would firstly ask to see if you or indeed anyone on the Project Glitchdex team know anything about this and might be able to offer some thoughts/advice on how to write an article on it.

Firstly, and very importantly: what would an article on this glitch be called? The link above refers to it as a 'Shiny Glitch'; however, it can occur without any [[Shiny Pokémon]] involved in it whatsoever ('creating' shiny Pokémon is just a popular use for the glitch). It wouldn't be a [[Pokémon cloning|'cloning glitch']], seeing as it doesn't create '''perfect copies''' of Pokémon data. I was thinking then of calling it a 'Bug Catching Contest glitch'; but I'm not sure if that seems right either?

Secondly, after performing the glitch I'm not sure of its **exact** effect. The Pokémon data created is of the same species as the Pokémon that was in second, but its name and stats are different to that Pokémon; and the new Pokémon data has the same moveset as the Pokémon that was in last position, and will be shiny if the Pokémon in last was shiny. Does that mean, then, that the new data inherits the [[individual values|IVs]] of the Pokémon that was last in the party?

Do you have knowledge of this glitch, and how an article on it might be written? (Or, if it is the case, if the article should '''not''' be written?) '''[[Special:Contributions/ShiningSteelix|***]][[User talk:ShiningSteelix|shiningSteelix***]]''' 19:03, 7 August 2011 (UTC)
:Thanks for mentioning this. I think [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e4D6wJGGqZA this video] is the same glitch (if it is not, then please let me know, but it is as far as I can tell). The user of that Youtube account, {{u|Chickasaurus}}, has videos on several glitches Bulbapedia does not yet document. I do intend to get around to writing them, but I tend to try to do too many things at once. Since this one was brought up though, I'll go write it now. Also, for simplicity's sake, I'm going to use Chickasaurus's name for it too. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 09:19, 8 August 2011 (UTC)

Hi. This glitch seems to have been around since years ago, but with a slightly erroneous description. There seem to be two copies of the glitch on that site; this is the right one [http://www.glitcher.net/turn-any-pok%C3%A9mon-into-gold-and-duplicate-items-japanese-version-only-glitch95.htm], albeit [http://www.glitcher.net/shiny-pokemon-glitch1106.htm the other slightly erroneous description] mentioned seems to be more widespread. I've seen the latter on really early websites predating 'glitcher.net', and it seems like it's been spread without people really checking it.

To clarify, the glitch only works in Japanese {{2v2|Gold|Silver}} because you can't {{m|Fly}} away from the [[Bug-Catching Contest]] in English versions, which is probably the cause for some of the confusion. Even though this is called a Shiny Pokémon glitch, what the glitch does is basically use a donor Pokémon (like the red Gyarados) and copies its properties to another Pokémon when you withdraw it at the Bug Catching Contest, meaning you could use it for anything really (e.g. to teach an [unstable] Pikachu Surf and Fly). Since you deposited your recipient Pokémon, this means you can also get your original back and keep the new hybrid Pokémon you receive. The glitch is an exploit of being able to escape the Bug-Catching Contest and tricking the game into thinking you're still in the contest, which is why if you walked back in after walking out, saying NO to come back in then Flying away the game would force you to walk down into the void when you walk back into the entrance as if you were trying to walk out from the north.

The trick is to deposit the donor last, perform the exploit, deposit a target Pokémon underneath it, save then return after a few minutes after the contest has finished. For some reason or another, the game lets you withdraw an unstable hybrid of the Pokémon above the Pokémon you last deposited. This glitch does not copy just DVs, but everything including the name, stats, moves, etc. It copies one byte of the species, but not the other so it's basically an unstable hybrid of the original Pokémon. If you deposit it into Day Care, it will revert back into the original Pokémon, so I believe the trick is to evolve it to stabilize the Pokémon (e.g. use a stone), however the glitch will work regardless of the Pokémon used provided that you're using the Japanese version. --[[User:Chickasaurus|Chickasaurus]] 12:29, 8 August 2011 (UTC)
: Thanks muchly for the clarifications on this glitch <=).
I went ahead and wrote the [[Bug-Catching Contest data copy glitch|article]] now, based on the discussion here and {{tt|my own knowledge of the glitch|I have translated copies of the Japanese versions of Gold and Silver myself}}; and I'm getting 'round to linking it to the other relevant glitch pages. But still, of course, feel to edit the article in any way needed; in particular, a possible explanation as to why the glitch occurs and maybe some images (if possible) may be helpful...

[[File:Pokémon Adventures Arbok patterns.jpg|230px|thumb|right|Arbok's patterns as discribed in Pokémon Adventures]]
:* The [[Generation I]] [[Pokédex]] entries for {{p|Arbok}} state that there are six variations of markings on its belly that differ between [[region]]s. The pattern has differed in sprites; however, this is dependent on the game the Pokémon is in, rather than the game in which it was caught. In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, Arbok's abilities vary depending on its pattern.

== Questions ==

Hi SnorlaxMonster!

I have a few questions. Remember when you replied to me on [[User talk:PsychicRider|PsychicRider's talk page]] about the template for the regions. I asked you if it was okay to move Orre, but I'm not sure if you saw it.

My next question is about the Pokémon released by date. I have created one for [[User:Han Ji-Wan/Pokémon by release date (Generation IV)|Generation IV]]. I just want to know if a Pokémon was revealed at a gaming conference (like Kecleon at the PokeFesta event), is that considered an official reveal or leaked? I have a few more questions about other Pokemon's reveal, but can't remember, so I will ask you again once I do.

Also, how do we get all 3 pages (3rd, 4th, and 5th generations) mainspaced? It would probably be better if we combined all three generations into one article, but I want to hear your input. [[User:Han Ji-Wan|Han Ji-Wan]] 02:16, 17 August 2011 (UTC)
:Sorry for the delay in my reply; I saw it yesterday, then Bulbapedia was down (even checked with [http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/ this]) when I tried to reply.
:Anyway, I think the Main/Side/Spin-off needs to happen. After that quote from Masuda, nobody disagreed, but nobody has actually bothered to do much about it. For it to actually happen, we need to work on getting [[version]] moved to [[main series]], and the creation of a separate [[side series]] page. Anyway, after I left that message on your talk page, psy talked to me about it, and his main problem was the format rather than the intent.
:For my Gen V one, I was pretty much going by what Bulbapedia/news did. I would say that if it revealed officially like Zoroark was, appears with a name and art (even in a leaked magazine scan), appears in the anime, or by the game they are in being released, with them available without glitches or cheating. I don't really know the circumstances of PokéFesta. Was it revealed by people playing a demo version, or was it announced there?
:I never really intended for the pages to be separate. Go ahead and add your data if you want, but keep them in separate sections. Also, I would prefer having links on the dates, even if it means linking to Serebii. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 08:57, 18 August 2011 (UTC)

== Spin tiles ==

You put a move template on [[spinner]] five months ago and didn't bother explaining why on the talk page. Do you even care? --[[User:Transfinite|Transfinite]] | [[User talk: Transfinite|Talk]] 00:08, 1 September 2011 (UTC)
:Must have forgotten to put why in my edit summary. The reason I haven't said anything about it is that there are countless tasks I want to/should do, but I don't have the time to do them all. Anyway, I don't think they have ever had an official name, and it should conform with the other articles by being a "spin tile".

== Pokémon Reference ==

Hey I noticed the Pokémon reference page and I came across a show that possibly has a reference in it. It's in a show called MXC, known in Japan as Takeshi's Castle, and in certain episodes there is a game on there called Sperm Wheelers. They ride a bicycle that has a whale prop attached to it, that's why it's called that. The colors were blue, pink, and green. The blue one looks like {{p|Wailord}} and the pink one looks like its [[Shiny]] form. Do you think this is notable? I might be able to find pictures for proof. [[User:Pokedex493|Pokedex493]] 06:43, 3 September 2011 (UTC)
:I haven't heard of that show before, and I couldn't find any images of whales from it with a quick Google search. If you could get me an image, I could make a better judgement, but it sounds to me like it just slightly resembles a Wailord. If there was a green one as well, I think it was just a coincidence. However, I have not seen an image fo the whales, so I cannot makee an accurate judgement. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 11:55, 4 September 2011 (UTC)

Yea I thought it was a jet engine because i read that it expells fire through it in order to propel it forward, like a jet engine. Also it appears to be a jet engine because it is conical in shape and the part sticking out of it resembles jet exhaust. I guess it is based on an electric turbine but functions like a jet engine.

== Questions ==

Okay, I've got some questions to ask you. I know this is a MediaWiki powered wiki, but is this supported by a wiki farm or is this hosted by a webmaster or someone? Why are all pages protected for unregistered users and is there a policy for this wiki? If you could answer these questions, it would be helpful. Thanks. [[User:Natsu11|Natsu11]] 10:35, 22 September 2011 (UTC)
:Bulbapedia is not hosted by a wikifarm. Bulbapedia is part of [[Bulbasaur's Mysterious Garden]], whose webmaster is [[Archaic]]. In fact, Bulbapedia is one of the founding members of the [[Nintendo Independent Wiki Alliance]], a group of wikis that are independent of wikifarms. A long time ago, it was decided that only users who have accounts should edit; it is not very difficult to create an account, and it makes things a lot more simple overall. It also deters vandals. There are several policies on this wiki: the most important policies are outlined on your welcome, the policy hub is located at [[Bulbapedia:Policy]] (although it is fairly outdated), and you can find a complete list of all of our policies {{cat|Bulbapedia policies|here}}.

I'm guessing you're the admin who closed the edit war over route 5, and it turned out in my favor, which isn't really my personal favor as much as it is common sense. The Liepards are never generated before the battle ensues, and any combination of Pokemon (species and gender) on that route can occur, so I have no clue why the person kept reverting it back to the "mated Liepards"

Long story short, thanks for ending the edit war.
(Is this even where I'm suppose to post this sort of thing?) {{unsigned|Johto-Master}}
:You are correct, it was me. I don't really understand why it would be that way either. Just note that in future, it is better to discuss the edit on the other user's talk page or the talk page of the article, or simply contact an admin to resolve the conflict.

As i told Cold, Confusion doesn't have the same effect and PP as Psychic, but still is considered the weaker version of the move.

== About splitting the Battle Frontier articles... ==

What??? Don't tell me that you'd prefer to have a bunch of stubs instead of two very organized, high quality articles. Besides, ''this was already discussed before'':
[http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Talk:Battle_Frontier_%28Generation_IV%29/Sinnoh#Seperate_articles]
[http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Talk:Battle_Frontier_%28Generation_IV%29/Featured_article_candidate#Other_comments]
I believe that it's ridiculous to turn two ''featured articles'' into lists of links to short stubs about the facilities.--[[User:Tempest370|Tempest370]] 18:36, 1 August 2011 (UTC)
:Stubs? You must be joking. Those articles are huge. Each section is big enough for its own article. Plus, if we did, it would make it a lot easier to add the anime and manga sections to both the individual facilities and the overall frontier. It's consistent with what we usually do as well; for example: [[Department Store]]s, [[Game Corner]]s, [[Trainer House]], [[Passerby Analytics HQ]], [[Big Stadium and Small Court]], [[Battle Subway]]—all of which are articles about facilities (not necessarily battle facilities) in other locations which are too important to be a part of their location's article.
:If we were to split them, the Gen III Battle Frontier's Battle Tower would be merged with [[Battle Tower (Hoenn)]], and the Gen IV one with [[Battle Tower (Sinnoh)]] (not [[Battle Tower (Johto)]] though, because these are being done by Generation). The [[List of wild Pokémon in the Battle Pyramid]] would become part of the Battle Pyramid article. I agree that the Battle Palace has a very short section at the moment, and in its current state it would be a stub, but there is plenty of information that ''can'' be added to it.
:Also, there is plenty of non-facility content on the Frontier pages. If they can't hold up a featured article without the facilities crammed in there, then they shouldn't be featured anyway. They look like 5/7 articles forced onto one page.
:The fact is that the more pages which should be separate which you cram into one, the information is omitted due to the size of the page. They were "discussed" over two years ago—we are looking at more complete, information-packed pages than before. Also, I don't consider "Should we do this?" "Nah." to be a discussion. If it had really been discussed, those sections would actually have more than two comments. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 08:27, 2 August 2011 (UTC)

== Questions about a Gen II Glitch ==

I found out about '''[http://www.glitcher.net/shiny-pokemon-glitch1106.htm this] glitch''' which occurs in the Japanese versions of Gold and Silver, and I noticed that the 'Pedia doesn't have an article about it. I was going to write an article for it, but I got kinda confused about the whole thing; so I thought I would firstly ask to see if you or indeed anyone on the Project Glitchdex team know anything about this and might be able to offer some thoughts/advice on how to write an article on it.

Firstly, and very importantly: what would an article on this glitch be called? The link above refers to it as a 'Shiny Glitch'; however, it can occur without any [[Shiny Pokémon]] involved in it whatsoever ('creating' shiny Pokémon is just a popular use for the glitch). It wouldn't be a [[Pokémon cloning|'cloning glitch']], seeing as it doesn't create '''perfect copies''' of Pokémon data. I was thinking then of calling it a 'Bug Catching Contest glitch'; but I'm not sure if that seems right either?

Secondly, after performing the glitch I'm not sure of its **exact** effect. The Pokémon data created is of the same species as the Pokémon that was in second, but its name and stats are different to that Pokémon; and the new Pokémon data has the same moveset as the Pokémon that was in last position, and will be shiny if the Pokémon in last was shiny. Does that mean, then, that the new data inherits the [[individual values|IVs]] of the Pokémon that was last in the party?

Do you have knowledge of this glitch, and how an article on it might be written? (Or, if it is the case, if the article should '''not''' be written?) '''[[Special:Contributions/ShiningSteelix|***]][[User talk:ShiningSteelix|shiningSteelix***]]''' 19:03, 7 August 2011 (UTC)
:Thanks for mentioning this. I think [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e4D6wJGGqZA this video] is the same glitch (if it is not, then please let me know, but it is as far as I can tell). The user of that Youtube account, {{u|Chickasaurus}}, has videos on several glitches Bulbapedia does not yet document. I do intend to get around to writing them, but I tend to try to do too many things at once. Since this one was brought up though, I'll go write it now. Also, for simplicity's sake, I'm going to use Chickasaurus's name for it too. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 09:19, 8 August 2011 (UTC)

Hi. This glitch seems to have been around since years ago, but with a slightly erroneous description. There seem to be two copies of the glitch on that site; this is the right one [http://www.glitcher.net/turn-any-pok%C3%A9mon-into-gold-and-duplicate-items-japanese-version-only-glitch95.htm], albeit [http://www.glitcher.net/shiny-pokemon-glitch1106.htm the other slightly erroneous description] mentioned seems to be more widespread. I've seen the latter on really early websites predating 'glitcher.net', and it seems like it's been spread without people really checking it.

To clarify, the glitch only works in Japanese {{2v2|Gold|Silver}} because you can't {{m|Fly}} away from the [[Bug-Catching Contest]] in English versions, which is probably the cause for some of the confusion. Even though this is called a Shiny Pokémon glitch, what the glitch does is basically use a donor Pokémon (like the red Gyarados) and copies its properties to another Pokémon when you withdraw it at the Bug Catching Contest, meaning you could use it for anything really (e.g. to teach an [unstable] Pikachu Surf and Fly). Since you deposited your recipient Pokémon, this means you can also get your original back and keep the new hybrid Pokémon you receive. The glitch is an exploit of being able to escape the Bug-Catching Contest and tricking the game into thinking you're still in the contest, which is why if you walked back in after walking out, saying NO to come back in then Flying away the game would force you to walk down into the void when you walk back into the entrance as if you were trying to walk out from the north.

The trick is to deposit the donor last, perform the exploit, deposit a target Pokémon underneath it, save then return after a few minutes after the contest has finished. For some reason or another, the game lets you withdraw an unstable hybrid of the Pokémon above the Pokémon you last deposited. This glitch does not copy just DVs, but everything including the name, stats, moves, etc. It copies one byte of the species, but not the other so it's basically an unstable hybrid of the original Pokémon. If you deposit it into Day Care, it will revert back into the original Pokémon, so I believe the trick is to evolve it to stabilize the Pokémon (e.g. use a stone), however the glitch will work regardless of the Pokémon used provided that you're using the Japanese version. --[[User:Chickasaurus|Chickasaurus]] 12:29, 8 August 2011 (UTC)
: Thanks muchly for the clarifications on this glitch <=).
I went ahead and wrote the [[Bug-Catching Contest data copy glitch|article]] now, based on the discussion here and {{tt|my own knowledge of the glitch|I have translated copies of the Japanese versions of Gold and Silver myself}}; and I'm getting 'round to linking it to the other relevant glitch pages. But still, of course, feel to edit the article in any way needed; in particular, a possible explanation as to why the glitch occurs and maybe some images (if possible) may be helpful...

== Questions ==

Hi SnorlaxMonster!

I have a few questions. Remember when you replied to me on [[User talk:PsychicRider|PsychicRider's talk page]] about the template for the regions. I asked you if it was okay to move Orre, but I'm not sure if you saw it.

My next question is about the Pokémon released by date. I have created one for [[User:Han Ji-Wan/Pokémon by release date (Generation IV)|Generation IV]]. I just want to know if a Pokémon was revealed at a gaming conference (like Kecleon at the PokeFesta event), is that considered an official reveal or leaked? I have a few more questions about other Pokemon's reveal, but can't remember, so I will ask you again once I do.

Also, how do we get all 3 pages (3rd, 4th, and 5th generations) mainspaced? It would probably be better if we combined all three generations into one article, but I want to hear your input. [[User:Han Ji-Wan|Han Ji-Wan]] 02:16, 17 August 2011 (UTC)
:Sorry for the delay in my reply; I saw it yesterday, then Bulbapedia was down (even checked with [http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/ this]) when I tried to reply.
:Anyway, I think the Main/Side/Spin-off needs to happen. After that quote from Masuda, nobody disagreed, but nobody has actually bothered to do much about it. For it to actually happen, we need to work on getting [[version]] moved to [[main series]], and the creation of a separate [[side series]] page. Anyway, after I left that message on your talk page, psy talked to me about it, and his main problem was the format rather than the intent.
:For my Gen V one, I was pretty much going by what Bulbapedia/news did. I would say that if it revealed officially like Zoroark was, appears with a name and art (even in a leaked magazine scan), appears in the anime, or by the game they are in being released, with them available without glitches or cheating. I don't really know the circumstances of PokéFesta. Was it revealed by people playing a demo version, or was it announced there?
:I never really intended for the pages to be separate. Go ahead and add your data if you want, but keep them in separate sections. Also, I would prefer having links on the dates, even if it means linking to Serebii. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 08:57, 18 August 2011 (UTC)

:Must have forgotten to put why in my edit summary. The reason I haven't said anything about it is that there are countless tasks I want to/should do, but I don't have the time to do them all. Anyway, I don't think they have ever had an official name, and it should conform with the other articles by being a "spin tile".

== Pokémon Reference ==

Hey I noticed the Pokémon reference page and I came across a show that possibly has a reference in it. It's in a show called MXC, known in Japan as Takeshi's Castle, and in certain episodes there is a game on there called Sperm Wheelers. They ride a bicycle that has a whale prop attached to it, that's why it's called that. The colors were blue, pink, and green. The blue one looks like {{p|Wailord}} and the pink one looks like its [[Shiny]] form. Do you think this is notable? I might be able to find pictures for proof. [[User:Pokedex493|Pokedex493]] 06:43, 3 September 2011 (UTC)
:I haven't heard of that show before, and I couldn't find any images of whales from it with a quick Google search. If you could get me an image, I could make a better judgement, but it sounds to me like it just slightly resembles a Wailord. If there was a green one as well, I think it was just a coincidence. However, I have not seen an image fo the whales, so I cannot makee an accurate judgement. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 11:55, 4 September 2011 (UTC)
::I was wrong. Last night I learned that the original version of the show was made in the 80's. Though it was a good theory, I was still wrong. [[User:Pokedex493|Pokedex493]] 20:16, 4 September 2011 (UTC)

== Reshiram's Tail==

Yea I thought it was a jet engine because i read that it expells fire through it in order to propel it forward, like a jet engine. Also it appears to be a jet engine because it is conical in shape and the part sticking out of it resembles jet exhaust. I guess it is based on an electric turbine but functions like a jet engine.

== Questions ==

Okay, I've got some questions to ask you. I know this is a MediaWiki powered wiki, but is this supported by a wiki farm or is this hosted by a webmaster or someone? Why are all pages protected for unregistered users and is there a policy for this wiki? If you could answer these questions, it would be helpful. Thanks. [[User:Natsu11|Natsu11]] 10:35, 22 September 2011 (UTC)
:Bulbapedia is not hosted by a wikifarm. Bulbapedia is part of [[Bulbasaur's Mysterious Garden]], whose webmaster is [[Archaic]]. In fact, Bulbapedia is one of the founding members of the [[Nintendo Independent Wiki Alliance]], a group of wikis that are independent of wikifarms. A long time ago, it was decided that only users who have accounts should edit; it is not very difficult to create an account, and it makes things a lot more simple overall. It also deters vandals. There are several policies on this wiki: the most important policies are outlined on your welcome, the policy hub is located at [[Bulbapedia:Policy]] (although it is fairly outdated), and you can find a complete list of all of our policies {{cat|Bulbapedia policies|here}}.

== Route 5 ==

I'm guessing you're the admin who closed the edit war over route 5, and it turned out in my favor, which isn't really my personal favor as much as it is common sense. The Liepards are never generated before the battle ensues, and any combination of Pokemon (species and gender) on that route can occur, so I have no clue why the person kept reverting it back to the "mated Liepards"

Long story short, thanks for ending the edit war.

== About splitting the Battle Frontier articles... ==

What??? Don't tell me that you'd prefer to have a bunch of stubs instead of two very organized, high quality articles. Besides, ''this was already discussed before'':
[http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Talk:Battle_Frontier_%28Generation_IV%29/Sinnoh#Seperate_articles]
[http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Talk:Battle_Frontier_%28Generation_IV%29/Featured_article_candidate#Other_comments]
I believe that it's ridiculous to turn two ''featured articles'' into lists of links to short stubs about the facilities.--[[User:Tempest370|Tempest370]] 18:36, 1 August 2011 (UTC)
:Stubs? You must be joking. Those articles are huge. Each section is big enough for its own article. Plus, if we did, it would make it a lot easier to add the anime and manga sections to both the individual facilities and the overall frontier. It's consistent with what we usually do as well; for example: [[Department Store]]s, [[Game Corner]]s, [[Trainer House]], [[Passerby Analytics HQ]], [[Big Stadium and Small Court]], [[Battle Subway]]—all of which are articles about facilities (not necessarily battle facilities) in other locations which are too important to be a part of their location's article.
:If we were to split them, the Gen III Battle Frontier's Battle Tower would be merged with [[Battle Tower (Hoenn)]], and the Gen IV one with [[Battle Tower (Sinnoh)]] (not [[Battle Tower (Johto)]] though, because these are being done by Generation). The [[List of wild Pokémon in the Battle Pyramid]] would become part of the Battle Pyramid article. I agree that the Battle Palace has a very short section at the moment, and in its current state it would be a stub, but there is plenty of information that ''can'' be added to it.
:Also, there is plenty of non-facility content on the Frontier pages. If they can't hold up a featured article without the facilities crammed in there, then they shouldn't be featured anyway. They look like 5/7 articles forced onto one page.
:The fact is that the more pages which should be separate which you cram into one, the information is omitted due to the size of the page. They were "discussed" over two years ago—we are looking at more complete, information-packed pages than before. Also, I don't consider "Should we do this?" "Nah." to be a discussion. If it had really been discussed, those sections would actually have more than two comments. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 08:27, 2 August 2011 (UTC)

== Questions about a Gen II Glitch ==

I found out about '''[http://www.glitcher.net/shiny-pokemon-glitch1106.htm this] glitch''' which occurs in the Japanese versions of Gold and Silver, and I noticed that the 'Pedia doesn't have an article about it. I was going to write an article for it, but I got kinda confused about the whole thing; so I thought I would firstly ask to see if you or indeed anyone on the Project Glitchdex team know anything about this and might be able to offer some thoughts/advice on how to write an article on it.

Firstly, and very importantly: what would an article on this glitch be called? The link above refers to it as a 'Shiny Glitch'; however, it can occur without any [[Shiny Pokémon]] involved in it whatsoever ('creating' shiny Pokémon is just a popular use for the glitch). It wouldn't be a [[Pokémon cloning|'cloning glitch']], seeing as it doesn't create '''perfect copies''' of Pokémon data. I was thinking then of calling it a 'Bug Catching Contest glitch'; but I'm not sure if that seems right either?

Secondly, after performing the glitch I'm not sure of its **exact** effect. The Pokémon data created is of the same species as the Pokémon that was in second, but its name and stats are different to that Pokémon; and the new Pokémon data has the same moveset as the Pokémon that was in last position, and will be shiny if the Pokémon in last was shiny. Does that mean, then, that the new data inherits the [[individual values|IVs]] of the Pokémon that was last in the party?

Do you have knowledge of this glitch, and how an article on it might be written? (Or, if it is the case, if the article should '''not''' be written?) '''[[Special:Contributions/ShiningSteelix|***]][[User talk:ShiningSteelix|shiningSteelix***]]''' 19:03, 7 August 2011 (UTC)
:Thanks for mentioning this. I think [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e4D6wJGGqZA this video] is the same glitch (if it is not, then please let me know, but it is as far as I can tell). The user of that Youtube account, {{u|Chickasaurus}}, has videos on several glitches Bulbapedia does not yet document. I do intend to get around to writing them, but I tend to try to do too many things at once. Since this one was brought up though, I'll go write it now. Also, for simplicity's sake, I'm going to use Chickasaurus's name for it too. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 09:19, 8 August 2011 (UTC)

Hi. This glitch seems to have been around since years ago, but with a slightly erroneous description. There seem to be two copies of the glitch on that site; this is the right one [http://www.glitcher.net/turn-any-pok%C3%A9mon-into-gold-and-duplicate-items-japanese-version-only-glitch95.htm], albeit [http://www.glitcher.net/shiny-pokemon-glitch1106.htm the other slightly erroneous description] mentioned seems to be more widespread. I've seen the latter on really early websites predating 'glitcher.net', and it seems like it's been spread without people really checking it.

To clarify, the glitch only works in Japanese {{2v2|Gold|Silver}} because you can't {{m|Fly}} away from the [[Bug-Catching Contest]] in English versions, which is probably the cause for some of the confusion. Even though this is called a Shiny Pokémon glitch, what the glitch does is basically use a donor Pokémon (like the red Gyarados) and copies its properties to another Pokémon when you withdraw it at the Bug Catching Contest, meaning you could use it for anything really (e.g. to teach an [unstable] Pikachu Surf and Fly). Since you deposited your recipient Pokémon, this means you can also get your original back and keep the new hybrid Pokémon you receive. The glitch is an exploit of being able to escape the Bug-Catching Contest and tricking the game into thinking you're still in the contest, which is why if you walked back in after walking out, saying NO to come back in then Flying away the game would force you to walk down into the void when you walk back into the entrance as if you were trying to walk out from the north.

The trick is to deposit the donor last, perform the exploit, deposit a target Pokémon underneath it, save then return after a few minutes after the contest has finished. For some reason or another, the game lets you withdraw an unstable hybrid of the Pokémon above the Pokémon you last deposited. This glitch does not copy just DVs, but everything including the name, stats, moves, etc. It copies one byte of the species, but not the other so it's basically an unstable hybrid of the original Pokémon. If you deposit it into Day Care, it will revert back into the original Pokémon, so I believe the trick is to evolve it to stabilize the Pokémon (e.g. use a stone), however the glitch will work regardless of the Pokémon used provided that you're using the Japanese version. --[[User:Chickasaurus|Chickasaurus]] 12:29, 8 August 2011 (UTC)
: Thanks muchly for the clarifications on this glitch <=).
I went ahead and wrote the [[Bug-Catching Contest data copy glitch|article]] now, based on the discussion here and {{tt|my own knowledge of the glitch|I have translated copies of the Japanese versions of Gold and Silver myself}}; and I'm getting 'round to linking it to the other relevant glitch pages. But still, of course, feel to edit the article in any way needed; in particular, a possible explanation as to why the glitch occurs and maybe some images (if possible) may be helpful...

:Yes. Sneasal and Chimchar will not know Assist if the father does in DPPt, but will in HGSS.

::Fine, but the reason for the confusion was because of the fact that it was messed up in the first place. And I fixed it. Also, if we're only supposed to list Pokémon by level up, then why is it that on multiple Pokémon pages that I have looked at, under their specific breeding info, this isn't true? Example:Jolteon is listed under Sneasel's page as being able to pass on Bite. [[User:LimeGreenCharizard|LimeGreenCharizard]] 04:44, 14 August 2011 (UTC)
:::Yeah, that's the way it is supposed to be, but unfortunately a lot of Pokémon pages use a different standard to the move pages. They should all use that standard, where only Pokémon that can father the Pokémon and learn it via level up should be listed. If it can only be passed on by chain breeding or Pokémon which learned it in a previous generation, they should be listed, and that fact should be noted. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 04:49, 14 August 2011 (UTC)

== Questions ==

Hi SnorlaxMonster!

I have a few questions. Remember when you replied to me on [[User talk:PsychicRider|PsychicRider's talk page]] about the template for the regions. I asked you if it was okay to move Orre, but I'm not sure if you saw it.

My next question is about the Pokémon released by date. I have created one for [[User:Han Ji-Wan/Pokémon by release date (Generation IV)|Generation IV]]. I just want to know if a Pokémon was revealed at a gaming conference (like Kecleon at the PokeFesta event), is that considered an official reveal or leaked? I have a few more questions about other Pokemon's reveal, but can't remember, so I will ask you again once I do.

Also, how do we get all 3 pages (3rd, 4th, and 5th generations) mainspaced? It would probably be better if we combined all three generations into one article, but I want to hear your input. [[User:Han Ji-Wan|Han Ji-Wan]] 02:16, 17 August 2011 (UTC)
:Sorry for the delay in my reply; I saw it yesterday, then Bulbapedia was down (even checked with [http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/ this]) when I tried to reply.
:Anyway, I think the Main/Side/Spin-off needs to happen. After that quote from Masuda, nobody disagreed, but nobody has actually bothered to do much about it. For it to actually happen, we need to work on getting [[version]] moved to [[main series]], and the creation of a separate [[side series]] page. Anyway, after I left that message on your talk page, psy talked to me about it, and his main problem was the format rather than the intent.
:For my Gen V one, I was pretty much going by what Bulbapedia/news did. I would say that if it revealed officially like Zoroark was, appears with a name and art (even in a leaked magazine scan), appears in the anime, or by the game they are in being released, with them available without glitches or cheating. I don't really know the circumstances of PokéFesta. Was it revealed by people playing a demo version, or was it announced there?
:I never really intended for the pages to be separate. Go ahead and add your data if you want, but keep them in separate sections. Also, I would prefer having links on the dates, even if it means linking to Serebii. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 08:57, 18 August 2011 (UTC)

== Pokémon Reference ==

Hey I noticed the Pokémon reference page and I came across a show that possibly has a reference in it. It's in a show called MXC, known in Japan as Takeshi's Castle, and in certain episodes there is a game on there called Sperm Wheelers. They ride a bicycle that has a whale prop attached to it, that's why it's called that. The colors were blue, pink, and green. The blue one looks like {{p|Wailord}} and the pink one looks like its [[Shiny]] form. Do you think this is notable? I might be able to find pictures for proof. [[User:Pokedex493|Pokedex493]] 06:43, 3 September 2011 (UTC)
:I haven't heard of that show before, and I couldn't find any images of whales from it with a quick Google search. If you could get me an image, I could make a better judgement, but it sounds to me like it just slightly resembles a Wailord. If there was a green one as well, I think it was just a coincidence. However, I have not seen an image fo the whales, so I cannot makee an accurate judgement. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 11:55, 4 September 2011 (UTC)

== Reshiram's Tail==

Yea I thought it was a jet engine because i read that it expells fire through it in order to propel it forward, like a jet engine. Also it appears to be a jet engine because it is conical in shape and the part sticking out of it resembles jet exhaust. I guess it is based on an electric turbine but functions like a jet engine.

Okay, I've got some questions to ask you. I know this is a MediaWiki powered wiki, but is this supported by a wiki farm or is this hosted by a webmaster or someone? Why are all pages protected for unregistered users and is there a policy for this wiki? If you could answer these questions, it would be helpful. Thanks. [[User:Natsu11|Natsu11]] 10:35, 22 September 2011 (UTC)
:Bulbapedia is not hosted by a wikifarm. Bulbapedia is part of [[Bulbasaur's Mysterious Garden]], whose webmaster is [[Archaic]]. In fact, Bulbapedia is one of the founding members of the [[Nintendo Independent Wiki Alliance]], a group of wikis that are independent of wikifarms. A long time ago, it was decided that only users who have accounts should edit; it is not very difficult to create an account, and it makes things a lot more simple overall. It also deters vandals. There are several policies on this wiki: the most important policies are outlined on your welcome, the policy hub is located at [[Bulbapedia:Policy]] (although it is fairly outdated), and you can find a complete list of all of our policies {{cat|Bulbapedia policies|here}}.

I'm guessing you're the admin who closed the edit war over route 5, and it turned out in my favor, which isn't really my personal favor as much as it is common sense.

== About splitting the Battle Frontier articles... ==

What??? Don't tell me that you'd prefer to have a bunch of stubs instead of two very organized, high quality articles. Besides, ''this was already discussed before'':
[http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Talk:Battle_Frontier_%28Generation_IV%29/Sinnoh#Seperate_articles]
[http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Talk:Battle_Frontier_%28Generation_IV%29/Featured_article_candidate#Other_comments]
I believe that it's ridiculous to turn two ''featured articles'' into lists of links to short stubs about the facilities.--[[User:Tempest370|Tempest370]] 18:36, 1 August 2011 (UTC)
:Stubs? You must be joking. Those articles are huge. Each section is big enough for its own article. Plus, if we did, it would make it a lot easier to add the anime and manga sections to both the individual facilities and the overall frontier. It's consistent with what we usually do as well; for example: [[Department Store]]s, [[Game Corner]]s, [[Trainer House]], [[Passerby Analytics HQ]], [[Big Stadium and Small Court]], [[Battle Subway]]—all of which are articles about facilities (not necessarily battle facilities) in other locations which are too important to be a part of their location's article.
:If we were to split them, the Gen III Battle Frontier's Battle Tower would be merged with [[Battle Tower (Hoenn)]], and the Gen IV one with [[Battle Tower (Sinnoh)]] (not [[Battle Tower (Johto)]] though, because these are being done by Generation). The [[List of wild Pokémon in the Battle Pyramid]] would become part of the Battle Pyramid article. I agree that the Battle Palace has a very short section at the moment, and in its current state it would be a stub, but there is plenty of information that ''can'' be added to it.
:Also, there is plenty of non-facility content on the Frontier pages. If they can't hold up a featured article without the facilities crammed in there, then they shouldn't be featured anyway. They look like 5/7 articles forced onto one page.
:The fact is that the more pages which should be separate which you cram into one, the information is omitted due to the size of the page. They were "discussed" over two years ago—we are looking at more complete, information-packed pages than before. Also, I don't consider "Should we do this?" "Nah." to be a discussion.

== Questions about a Gen II Glitch ==

I found out about '''[http://www.glitcher.net/shiny-pokemon-glitch1106.htm this] glitch''' which occurs in the Japanese versions of Gold and Silver, and I noticed that the 'Pedia doesn't have an article about it. I was going to write an article for it, but I got kinda confused about the whole thing; so I thought I would firstly ask to see if you or indeed anyone on the Project Glitchdex team know anything about this and might be able to offer some thoughts/advice on how to write an article on it.

Firstly, and very importantly: what would an article on this glitch be called? The link above refers to it as a 'Shiny Glitch'; however, it can occur without any [[Shiny Pokémon]] involved in it whatsoever ('creating' shiny Pokémon is just a popular use for the glitch). It wouldn't be a [[Pokémon cloning|'cloning glitch']], seeing as it doesn't create '''perfect copies''' of Pokémon data. I was thinking then of calling it a 'Bug Catching Contest glitch'; but I'm not sure if that seems right either?

Secondly, after performing the glitch I'm not sure of its **exact** effect. The Pokémon data created is of the same species as the Pokémon that was in second, but its name and stats are different to that Pokémon; and the new Pokémon data has the same moveset as the Pokémon that was in last position, and will be shiny if the Pokémon in last was shiny. Does that mean, then, that the new data inherits the [[individual values|IVs]] of the Pokémon that was last in the party?

Do you have knowledge of this glitch, and how an article on it might be written? (Or, if it is the case, if the article should '''not''' be written?) '''[[Special:Contributions/ShiningSteelix|***]][[User talk:ShiningSteelix|shiningSteelix***]]''' 19:03, 7 August 2011 (UTC)
:Thanks for mentioning this. I think [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e4D6wJGGqZA this video] is the same glitch (if it is not, then please let me know, but it is as far as I can tell). The user of that Youtube account, {{u|Chickasaurus}}, has videos on several glitches Bulbapedia does not yet document. I do intend to get around to writing them, but I tend to try to do too many things at once. Since this one was brought up though, I'll go write it now. Also, for simplicity's sake, I'm going to use Chickasaurus's name for it too. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 09:19, 8 August 2011 (UTC)

Hi. This glitch seems to have been around since years ago, but with a slightly erroneous description. There seem to be two copies of the glitch on that site; this is the right one [http://www.glitcher.net/turn-any-pok%C3%A9mon-into-gold-and-duplicate-items-japanese-version-only-glitch95.htm], albeit [http://www.glitcher.net/shiny-pokemon-glitch1106.htm the other slightly erroneous description] mentioned seems to be more widespread. I've seen the latter on really early websites predating 'glitcher.net', and it seems like it's been spread without people really checking it.

To clarify, the glitch only works in Japanese {{2v2|Gold|Silver}} because you can't {{m|Fly}} away from the [[Bug-Catching Contest]] in English versions, which is probably the cause for some of the confusion. Even though this is called a Shiny Pokémon glitch, what the glitch does is basically use a donor Pokémon (like the red Gyarados) and copies its properties to another Pokémon when you withdraw it at the Bug Catching Contest, meaning you could use it for anything really (e.g. to teach an [unstable] Pikachu Surf and Fly). Since you deposited your recipient Pokémon, this means you can also get your original back and keep the new hybrid Pokémon you receive. The glitch is an exploit of being able to escape the Bug-Catching Contest and tricking the game into thinking you're still in the contest, which is why if you walked back in after walking out, saying NO to come back in then Flying away the game would force you to walk down into the void when you walk back into the entrance as if you were trying to walk out from the north.

The trick is to deposit the donor last, perform the exploit, deposit a target Pokémon underneath it, save then return after a few minutes after the contest has finished. For some reason or another, the game lets you withdraw an unstable hybrid of the Pokémon above the Pokémon you last deposited. This glitch does not copy just DVs, but everything including the name, stats, moves, etc. It copies one byte of the species, but not the other so it's basically an unstable hybrid of the original Pokémon. If you deposit it into Day Care, it will revert back into the original Pokémon, so I believe the trick is to evolve it to stabilize the Pokémon (e.g. use a stone), however the glitch will work regardless of the Pokémon used provided that you're using the Japanese version. --[[User:Chickasaurus|Chickasaurus]] 12:29, 8 August 2011 (UTC)
: Thanks muchly for the clarifications on this glitch <=).
I went ahead and wrote the [[Bug-Catching Contest data copy glitch|article]] now, based on the discussion here and {{tt|my own knowledge of the glitch|I have translated copies of the Japanese versions of Gold and Silver myself}}; and I'm getting 'round to linking it to the other relevant glitch pages. But still, of course, feel to edit the article in any way needed; in particular, a possible explanation as to why the glitch occurs and maybe some images (if possible) may be helpful...

== Arbok ==

Good afternoon.

Is [[a:File:Pokémon_Adventures_Arbok_patterns.jpg|this file]] necessary? The four patterns shown were already uploaded to the Archives. I removed it from [[Form differences]]. It's OK if you put back, but please don't undo my edition, I also changed other stuff. '''|) u |( e''' 20:04, 11 August 2011 (UTC)
:I thought of something, the image you uploaded would be even in larger size. Tell me if you like it:

[[File:Pokémon Adventures Arbok patterns.jpg|230px|thumb|right|Arbok's patterns as discribed in Pokémon Adventures]]
:* The [[Generation I]] [[Pokédex]] entries for {{p|Arbok}} state that there are six variations of markings on its belly that differ between [[region]]s. The pattern has differed in sprites; however, this is dependent on the game the Pokémon is in, rather than the game in which it was caught. In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, Arbok's abilities vary depending on its pattern.

Are you saying that Sneasel and Chimchar can only have Assist as an egg move in HGSS, and not DPPt? [[User:LimeGreenCharizard|LimeGreenCharizard]] 04:24, 14 August 2011 (UTC)
:Yes. Sneasal and Chimchar will not know Assist if the father does in DPPt, but will in HGSS. Also, we only include Pokémon that learn it via level up and can be a father, so Delcatty should not be listed since it does not learn it, only Skitty does. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 04:35, 14 August 2011 (UTC)
::Fine, but the reason for the confusion was because of the fact that it was messed up in the first place. And I fixed it. Also, if we're only supposed to list Pokémon by level up, then why is it that on multiple Pokémon pages that I have looked at, under their specific breeding info, this isn't true? Example:Jolteon is listed under Sneasel's page as being able to pass on Bite. [[User:LimeGreenCharizard|LimeGreenCharizard]] 04:44, 14 August 2011 (UTC)
:::Yeah, that's the way it is supposed to be, but unfortunately a lot of Pokémon pages use a different standard to the move pages. They should all use that standard, where only Pokémon that can father the Pokémon and learn it via level up should be listed. If it can only be passed on by chain breeding or Pokémon which learned it in a previous generation, they should be listed, and that fact should be noted. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 04:49, 14 August 2011 (UTC)

== Questions ==

Hi SnorlaxMonster!

I have a few questions. Remember when you replied to me on [[User talk:PsychicRider|PsychicRider's talk page]] about the template for the regions. I asked you if it was okay to move Orre, but I'm not sure if you saw it.

My next question is about the Pokémon released by date. I have created one for [[User:Han Ji-Wan/Pokémon by release date (Generation IV)|Generation IV]]. I just want to know if a Pokémon was revealed at a gaming conference (like Kecleon at the PokeFesta event), is that considered an official reveal or leaked? I have a few more questions about other Pokemon's reveal, but can't remember, so I will ask you again once I do.

Also, how do we get all 3 pages (3rd, 4th, and 5th generations) mainspaced? It would probably be better if we combined all three generations into one article, but I want to hear your input. [[User:Han Ji-Wan|Han Ji-Wan]] 02:16, 17 August 2011 (UTC)
:Sorry for the delay in my reply; I saw it yesterday, then Bulbapedia was down (even checked with [http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/ this]) when I tried to reply.
:Anyway, I think the Main/Side/Spin-off needs to happen. After that quote from Masuda, nobody disagreed, but nobody has actually bothered to do much about it. For it to actually happen, we need to work on getting [[version]] moved to [[main series]], and the creation of a separate [[side series]] page. Anyway, after I left that message on your talk page, psy talked to me about it, and his main problem was the format rather than the intent.
:For my Gen V one, I was pretty much going by what Bulbapedia/news did. I would say that if it revealed officially like Zoroark was, appears with a name and art (even in a leaked magazine scan), appears in the anime, or by the game they are in being released, with them available without glitches or cheating. I don't really know the circumstances of PokéFesta. Was it revealed by people playing a demo version, or was it announced there?
:I never really intended for the pages to be separate. Go ahead and add your data if you want, but keep them in separate sections. Also, I would prefer having links on the dates, even if it means linking to Serebii. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 08:57, 18 August 2011 (UTC)

:Must have forgotten to put why in my edit summary. The reason I haven't said anything about it is that there are countless tasks I want to/should do, but I don't have the time to do them all. Anyway, I don't think they have ever had an official name, and it should conform with the other articles by being a "spin tile".

== Pokémon Reference ==

Hey I noticed the Pokémon reference page and I came across a show that possibly has a reference in it. It's in a show called MXC, known in Japan as Takeshi's Castle, and in certain episodes there is a game on there called Sperm Wheelers. They ride a bicycle that has a whale prop attached to it, that's why it's called that. The colors were blue, pink, and green. The blue one looks like {{p|Wailord}} and the pink one looks like its [[Shiny]] form. Do you think this is notable? I might be able to find pictures for proof. [[User:Pokedex493|Pokedex493]] 06:43, 3 September 2011 (UTC)
:I haven't heard of that show before, and I couldn't find any images of whales from it with a quick Google search. If you could get me an image, I could make a better judgement, but it sounds to me like it just slightly resembles a Wailord. If there was a green one as well, I think it was just a coincidence. However, I have not seen an image fo the whales, so I cannot makee an accurate judgement. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 11:55, 4 September 2011 (UTC)

== Reshiram's Tail==

Yea I thought it was a jet engine because i read that it expells fire through it in order to propel it forward, like a jet engine. Also it appears to be a jet engine because it is conical in shape and the part sticking out of it resembles jet exhaust. I guess it is based on an electric turbine but functions like a jet engine.

== Info tabs==

Hi i am very new here and if you don't mind i will be asking a question or two once in a while.
I looked at your user page and was wondering how you put up those little tabs on the side saying either what you did on Bulbapedia or just little facts about yourself. Exactly how do you do that? [[User:Arceustheomnipotent|Arceustheomnipotent]] 05:39, 19 September 2011 (UTC)
:That's okay, I don't mind answering your questions. Those little tabs are called usertags. You can click edit while looking at my page to see the code for them if you want (but don't save). There is a help page for teaching users to use usertags {{bp|usertags|here}}. If you have any further questions, don't hesitate to ask. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 07:24, 19 September 2011 (UTC)
I actually don't have a userpage yet, and a problem has come up in creating it. For some reason it says I don't have permission to edit in the User namespace, and it says that if I am a new user I will have to edit existing articles before I edit my userpage. [[User:Arceustheomnipotent|Arceustheomnipotent]] 04:25, 22 September 2011 (UTC)
:Yes, it is correct. You need to edit articles in the [[mainspace]] before you can edit your [[userspace]]. It is outlined in the {{bp|userspace policy}}. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 11:43, 24 September 2011 (UTC)
Is there a specific number of mainspace articles you have to edit before you can edit userspace? Because if you remember I did edit the reshiram page. [[User:Arceustheomnipotent|Arceustheomnipotent]] 05:33, 25 September 2011 (UTC)
:There is, but it is a secret number so that you can't just go edit exactly that many pages to be able to edit your userpage. It is a small number though. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 05:52, 25 September 2011 (UTC)

== Questions ==

Okay, I've got some questions to ask you. I know this is a MediaWiki powered wiki, but is this supported by a wiki farm or is this hosted by a webmaster or someone? Why are all pages protected for unregistered users and is there a policy for this wiki? If you could answer these questions, it would be helpful. Thanks. [[User:Natsu11|Natsu11]] 10:35, 22 September 2011 (UTC)
:Bulbapedia is not hosted by a wikifarm. Bulbapedia is part of [[Bulbasaur's Mysterious Garden]], whose webmaster is [[Archaic]]. In fact, Bulbapedia is one of the founding members of the [[Nintendo Independent Wiki Alliance]], a group of wikis that are independent of wikifarms. A long time ago, it was decided that only users who have accounts should edit; it is not very difficult to create an account, and it makes things a lot more simple overall. It also deters vandals. There are several policies on this wiki: the most important policies are outlined on your welcome, the policy hub is located at [[Bulbapedia:Policy]] (although it is fairly outdated), and you can find a complete list of all of our policies {{cat|Bulbapedia policies|here}}. I hope you enjoy your time here! --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 11:43, 24 September 2011 (UTC)

'''Arceus''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''アルセウス''' ''Arceus'') is a {{type2|Normal}} [[legendary Pokémon]]. However, its type will change when it is holding one of sixteen items known as [[plates]] and can in reality be any type.

Like {{p|Darkrai}} and {{p|Shaymin}} before it, Arceus was not officially recognized by Nintendo until February 14, 2009, the year of its debut movie. It was officially revealed to international audiences on August 3rd, 2009.

Arceus is also known as "The Original One," as it is said that it created [[Sinnoh]], and possibly the entire [[Pokémon universe]], along with the [[lake guardians]] and [[creation trio]]. Arceus can only be found in the wild legitimately with the [[Azure Flute]], which has not yet been distributed [[Nintendo event|officially]] and can currently only be obtained by cheating. However, Arceus itself was distributed via multiple Nintendo events in 2009 and 2010.

Arceus is the final Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by National Pokédex number|National Pokédex]] within [[Generation IV]].

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Arceus is an equine being similar to a {{wp|Qilin}} or {{wp|Centaur}}. Its body color is white with a gray, vertically-striated underside, the pattern of which has similar recurrences on the underside of Arceus's mane, tail, and face, and Arceus's four pointed feet are tipped with gold hooves. Its mane is quite long, jutting away from its head, and its face is gray, with green eyes and red pupils, and a green circular pattern below its eyes. Arceus also has a streak of gold coloration on its head, and ears that point upward. Its neck is fairly long, with two pairs of extrusions to the sides, and a flap-like feature on the neck's underside that is colored white like much of the body. It also has a golden cross-like wheel attached to its body by its round abdomen, which changes color along with its eyes and hooves based on Arceus's current type. The wheel also has four jewels attached to it. The pattern of striated gray of Arceus's underbelly resumes past Arceus's waist, the underside of Arceus's limbs also being gray in coloration, and with extrusions at the tops of the legs. Arceus's tail is fairly like its mane in shape and coloration.

====Gender differences====
Arceus is a genderless species.

====Special abilities====
[[File:Arceus_Formes.gif|right|thumb|An animation displaying Arceus's different colorings while holding plates]]
According to legend, Arceus is thought to have created the [[Sinnoh]] region and possibly the entire [[Pokémon world]], the [[lake guardians]]: {{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Azelf}}, {{p|Mesprit}}, and the [[creation trio]]: {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, and {{p|Giratina}}. Because of this, Arceus is thought to be one of the most long-lived of all Pokémon species. It has the power to recreate the creation trio as well, presumably to guard the dimensions when a Trainer has caught one of them.

Arceus is {{a|Multitype|multifarious}}; it can change forms and types with the use of the special [[plate]]s.

Arceus is [[signature move|the only known]] Pokémon who can learn {{m|Judgment}}. Arceus can also use many attacks of various types, but to a lesser extent than {{p|Smeargle}} or {{p|Mew}}. Arceus is also the only non-Dragon-type Pokémon other than Smeargle who can learn {{m|Draco Meteor}}, although it must become a {{type2|Dragon}} (by holding a {{DL|Plate|Draco Plate}}) in order to learn it.

According to the anime, its power can also bring back things that it once destroyed or make certain things vanish into thin air. Arceus also has the ability to halt time.

===Behavior===
While normally a kind, heroic, intelligent, and benevolent Pokémon, Arceus does not suffer fools gladly, and will attack in a violent rampage if betrayed or deceived. It also holds long grudges if angered.

===Habitat===
Arceus lives at the [[Hall of Origin]], which can only be accessed by use of the [[Azure Flute]] at [[Spear Pillar]]. However, in the [[M12|twelfth Pokémon movie]], it seems to live in a wide dimension of stars and galaxies.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
In ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'' it is said to "feed" off the energy of the elemental plates, but is seen in the games holding a Rowap Berry.

==In the anime==
[[File:Arceus movie 12.png|thumb|250px|right|{{mov|Arceus|Arceus|12}} in the anime]]
{{an|Arceus}} made its debut in ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]''. It was angry at the people of [[Michina Town]] for [[Damos]]'s unwitting betrayal of it in ancient times, and so attempted to destroy the land. When Ash and his friends are teleported by {{an|Dialga}} to ancient times, they directly influence the event, changing the future for the better so that Arceus will stop its destruction.

In ''[[DP152|Battle Finale of Legend!]]'', although Arceus is neither seen nor named, but the [[Red Chain]] is said to contain the power of 'The Original One'. Using the Red Chain, Cyrus takes control of {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}} by causing a red ring similar to the one surrounding Arceus's body to appear around their bodies.

Arceus makes a cameo in the opening ''[[The Greatest - Everyday!]]'' and ''[[We Will Carry On]]'', along with the [[creation trio]].

==In the manga==
[[Image:Arceus Adventures.png|thumb|right|250px|Arceus as it appears in Pokémon Adventures]]
===Arceus and the Jewel of Life===
Arceus appears as a central character in the {{ma|Arceus and the Jewel of Life}} manga adaptation, reprising its role from the film. After Arceus saved the world from a meteor, [[Damos]] took care of it. It gave Damos the [[Jewel of Life]] to make the land of [[Michina]] rich and fertile. Damos then "betrayed" Arceus, and it has been outraged ever since.

===Pokémon Adventures===
In [[Pokémon Adventures]], {{adv|Gold}} and his team battle a wild Arceus in the opening pages of the {{chap|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}, and even [[Exbo]]'s powerful {{m|Blast Burn}} attack is unable to damage the incredible beast.

A few rounds later, it is revealed that it showed up in front of {{adv|Crystal}} and the [[Team Rocket]] Executives, and the former tried to catch it.

==In the TCG==
{{main|Arceus (TCG)}}
Arceus appears in the TCG in all nine {{TCG|elemental types}}, and a player can have as many Arceus cards in their deck as they like, unlike all other cards in the game (besides {{TCG|Basic Energy card}}s). Cards based on Arceus first appeared in the {{TCG|Platinum: Arceus|Arceus}} expansion set.

[[File:Spr 4p 493-Unknown.png|thumb|right|Normal-color sprite for {{type2|???}} Arceus]][[File:Spr 4p 493-Unknown s.png|thumb|right|{{pkmn2|Shiny}} sprite for {{type2|???}} Arceus]]
* At level 80, Arceus is the second-highest level Pokémon available for capture in the wild, after the {{p|Magikarp}} in the [[Resort Area]] in {{game|Platinum}} (which can be caught at any level). However, the [[Azure Flute]] needed to encounter it has never been made officially available.
* Arceus's English name has had three different pronunciations. Before it was officially revealed, fans pronounced it as "AR-see-uss", as does [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]]. Then, a promotional trailer for ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'' pronounced it as "Ar-SAY-us". Its official pronunciation was then revealed in a [[Pokémon.com]] mailbag as "ARK-ee-us". Its original pronunciation is still in popular usage.
* Arceus's [[base stat]] total is 720, higher than any other Pokémon.
** In its base form, Arceus has the highest [[base stat]] in {{stat|Defense}} of all {{type2|Normal}} Pokémon.
* All Generation IV games have sprites for Arceus using its Multitype ability with all 18 types, including {{type2|???}}. It is disputed whether the ???-type Arceus is obtainable, as there is no [[plate]] in the code that can be used for this. It is possible this sprite was programmed in to prevent game crashes caused by tampering with Arceus's type.
* Arceus's signature move, {{m|Judgment}}, is the only move that Arceus is guaranteed [[Same-type attack bonus|STAB]] for, as it is always the same type as Arceus itself. However, on the battle screen, Judgment is always displayed as a {{type2|Normal}} attack.
**{{m|Judgment}} is similar to {{p|Genesect}}'s signature move, {{m|Techno Blast}}, as it changes with the held item of the Pokémon.
* Even though it is said that Arceus created the world with its thousand arms, it is not shown to have any arms at all, nor can it learn hand-based or arm-based moves.
* Holding the [[Toxic Plate]], Arceus is the only legendary {{type2|Poison}} Pokémon.
* {{m|Earth Power}} is the only move with a fixed base power, besides {{m|Judgment}}, that Arceus learns by level-up which can receive [[Same-type attack bonus|STAB]] with a plate attached.
* Arceus is the only event-exclusive [[trio master]], needing the [[Azure Flute]] to be encountered in {{3v|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}.
** Furthermore, Arceus is the only trio master of two [[Lake guardians|different]] [[creation trio|trios]].
* Arceus is the only Pokémon to never officially receive a [[List of Pokémon by Diamond & Pearl Battle Pokédex number|DPBP number]]. {{p|Kadabra}}, which was not released as a TCG card during the DPBP era, is assumed to be #070, as {{p|Abra}} and {{p|Alakazam}} are #069 and #071, respectively.
* The ring around Arceus's body appears to have a malevolent counterpart in the embodiment of the [[Red Chain]], as a red version of it is shown to ring Dialga and Palkia around the middle when [[Cyrus]] takes control of them in ''[[DP152|The Battle Finale of Legend!]]''
* Arceus is one of three Pokémon that can learn all of the moves ever obtainable as [[HM]]s. The two others are {{p|Mew}} and {{p|Smeargle}}.
* Arceus is the one who is rumored to have prevented all Pokémon in the future from disappearing in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky]]. Dialga explains that it "was no miracle" that they were saved, and that a "greater power" saved them all. Arceus is the leader of the creation trio, of which Dialga is a member.
* In Generation IV an Arceus using {{m|Trick}} would always fail, making the move completely useless on Arceus. However this was fixed in Generation V so that Trick will only fail if a plate is held.
* Arceus's different sprites are not recognized as [[form differences]] by the Pokédex. The same is true for {{p|Genesect}}.
* If an Arceus holding a [[Plate]] is hacked to have an Ability other than Mutitype, it will remain in its current form, but will revert to Normal-type, regardless of what Plate it is holding, creating a situation not unlike {{a|Illusion}}. However, if Arceus is given a different Plate, its Ability will revert to Multitype.

===Origin===
Arceus is particularly based on a {{wp|creator deity}}, present in many world cultures. The conception of the first god might be influenced from {{wp|Kunitokotachi}} and {{wp|Amenominakanushi}}, who, according to {{wp|Shinto}} myth, summoned {{wp|Izanami}} and {{wp|Izanagi}} to create Japan with the spear. It may also be a reference to the Chinese mythical creature, the {{wp|Qilin}}. Its myth is nearly identical to that of the {{wp|Pangu}}, the Chinese creation deity. Arceus may also be inspired by (or a representation of) the bodhisattva {{wp|Avalokiteśvara}}, who, in {{wp|Buddhism}}, is either pictured with eleven heads and one thousand arms (the latter of which is mentioned in Arceus's flavor text) or in a {{wp|Chenrezig|white four-armed manifestation}} (which could look similar to Arceus's Normal form). Some inspiration may have come from a {{wp|horse}}, because of its Platinum sprite and attack movements in Pokémon Battle Revolution.

====Name origin====
Arceus's name may come from the words ''arch'' (highest) and ''deus'', which is Latin for ''god''. It may also have a root in the Latin word ''arcanus'', which means ''secret; sacred mystery''. Arceus's name may also come from the word ''archaic'' (ancient), which comes from the Greek ''arkhaios'', and is derived from the ancient Greek word for "beginning", ''arkhē''. It could have also come from the Latin word ''archetypus'' (original). Alternatively, Arceus's name can be seen as a portmanteau of ''Zeus'', the most powerful of Greek gods and ''arch'' (highest). Another theory may be the combination of Zeus and Ra spelled backwards (Zeus being the king of gods and Ra being the solar god and creator, albeit in different pantheons). Those two qualities are shared by the Pokémon. Also, Arceus can also be derived from ''aureus'' (golden), possibly referring to its hooves and wheel. Nevertheless, Arceus's name origin and possible theories have led fans to believe that Arceus may be in fact a {{wp|creator deity}} in Pokémon form. Arceus's name is pronounced with a soft "c" (or "s" sound) by the announcer in [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]]; in keeping with its probable name origin, it is pronounced with a hard "c" (or "k" sound) in television commercials and in ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]''. Its name could also come from arc, as in round/ring, since it's surrounded by one.

== Submission ==

I see you've taken {{m|Submission}} out of [[Ash's Charizard]]'s move template, but I think you shouldn't have done that: I've seen the Japanese version, and the command for Submission (the actual move) is also in there. Besides, I think what Ash said was "aerial Submission", not "Aerial Submission." --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] 13:07, 2 July 2011 (UTC)

:If I may butt in, I was thinking of raising the issue myself, having watched the episode today. Personally, I think that SnorlaxMonster has done the right thing, there is nothing to suggest that, like Counter attack/counterattack, Ash wasn't just telling Charizard to force a submission on Magmar. The producers wouldn't have '''[[User:Toon Ganondorf|Toon Ganondorf ]] [[User Talk:Toon Ganondorf|(t]] [[Special:Contributions/Toon Ganondorf|c)]]''' 13:28, 2 July 2011 (UTC)

== Route 5 ==

I'm guessing you're the admin who closed the edit war over route 5, and it turned out in my favor, which isn't really my personal favor as much as it is common sense. The Liepards are never generated before the battle ensues, and any combination of Pokemon (species and gender) on that route can occur, so I have no clue why the person kept reverting it back to the "mated Liepards"

Long story short, thanks for ending the edit war.
(Is this even where I'm suppose to post this sort of thing?) {{unsigned|Johto-Master}}
:You are correct, it was me. I don't really understand why it would be that way either. Just note that in future, it is better to discuss the edit on the other user's talk page or the talk page of the article, or simply contact an admin to resolve the conflict. Edit warring like you did is not permitted, even with good intentions. To answer your final question, here is probably the best place to put that sort of thing. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 12:52, 4 July 2011 (UTC)
Al right, sorry. I use Bulbapedia a lot, but this was my first time I was compelled to edit anything, because it seemed insanely odd. This is also my first time dealing with the "User pages" and want to know how to customize a bar like the one on the right side of your profile that says you speak English and are an Atheist etc. Or is that for Admin's only?--[[User:Johto-Master|Johto-Master]] 13:01, 4 July 2011 (UTC)
::Nope, anybody can use it. You can't create a userpage until you are "autoconfirmed" though, which occurs after a secret number of edits and period of time. If you make a few more edits to Bulbapedia, you will be able to make one. [[Bulbapedia:Usertags|This page]] is specifically designed for helping users to use what we call "usertags" (what you were asking about).

I'd add that the episode was [[Banned episodes#Banned episodes in other countries|skipped]] in [[wp:New Zealand|New Zealand]] for an unknown reason, but I can't, because the top says "Do not add any trivia" due to the high [[Pokémon Black and White Versions|BW]] server load.

Can you edit [[Template:Dex|the Pokedex template]] so that entries from Pokemon Stadium 1 are recognised? [[Template talk:Dex#Japanese Dex entries, Red & Green entries, and Stadium entries (again)|I've left tons of posts on its talk page about this (as well as Red & Green and Japanese dex entries)]], but I've never had a reply. And the template is protected so only Admins can edit it. Apparently they were removed as the Dex entries were the same as the Game Boy ones, but that only applies to Pokemon Stadium 2. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xU8n1ClE33Q Here's a youtube video confirming the dex entries], saves going onto every individual page. Cheers in advance.

== Moves ==

As i told Cold, Confusion doesn't have the same effect and PP as Psychic, but still is considered the weaker version of the move. The thing i see the most, that makes Hurricane and Gust look alike is because of the Moves's similarities of the use of wind, and their names ( Real-life Hurricanes actually being very strong Gusts) [[User:Pokeand|Pokeand]] 17:43, 16 July 2011 (UTC)
:We talked about it, and decided that moves being weaker or more powerful versions of each other shouldn't be noted. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 04:38, 18 July 2011 (UTC)

==Video Requests==

Hi, Snorlax. I'm sorry to bother you, but I noticed that you said it was technically advertising. See, the thing is, I discovered that glitch, and I felt like I didn't receive the credit. If you looked at Zowayixx's video, it said that I discovered it, yet that it seemed that Bulbapedia was giving him the credit for it. Is there any way that we could still use his video but give me credit for finding his glitch? Thank you for your time.[[User:Pupcakepup|Pupcakepup]] 15:47, 17 July 2011 (UTC)

== Battle Pike Wild Pokémon ==

Yes, the levels in Open Level only apply if at least one of your Pokémon is level 100. Basically, Seviper and Milotic are 4 levels weaker while Dusclops, Electrode, Breloom and Wobbuffet are 5 levels weaker.--[[User:Tempest370|Tempest370]] 17:03, 20 July 2011 (UTC)

What do you think of formatting it like [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Battle_Frontier_(Generation_III)&curid=4050&diff=1480244&oldid=1480085&rcid=1581045 that]? --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 00:50, 21 July 2011 (UTC)

== New Signature? ==

How do you make a new signature, and how do you make it colorful? --[[User:YoshisWorld|YoshisWorld]] 23:34, 24 July 2011 (UTC)YoshisWorld
:To change your signature, go to [[Special:Preferences]], and modify it in the box which is labelled "New Signature". To make it colorful, you need to add <code><nowiki>TEXT</nowiki></code>, with the text you want to make colorful in place of "TEXT", and either the hexadecimal value of the color where the word color is. You can get hexadecimal colors from color templates like {{template|Normal color}}, but you cannot put the template itself into your signature, as templates are not permitted in signatures.

== About splitting the Battle Frontier articles... ==

What??? Don't tell me that you'd prefer to have a bunch of stubs instead of two very organized, high quality articles. Besides, ''this was already discussed before'':
[http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Talk:Battle_Frontier_%28Generation_IV%29/Sinnoh#Seperate_articles]
[http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Talk:Battle_Frontier_%28Generation_IV%29/Featured_article_candidate#Other_comments]
I believe that it's ridiculous to turn two ''featured articles'' into lists of links to short stubs about the facilities.--[[User:Tempest370|Tempest370]] 18:36, 1 August 2011 (UTC)
:Stubs? You must be joking. Those articles are huge. Each section is big enough for its own article. Plus, if we did, it would make it a lot easier to add the anime and manga sections to both the individual facilities and the overall frontier. It's consistent with what we usually do as well; for example: [[Department Store]]s, [[Game Corner]]s, [[Trainer House]], [[Passerby Analytics HQ]], [[Big Stadium and Small Court]], [[Battle Subway]]—all of which are articles about facilities (not necessarily battle facilities) in other locations which are too important to be a part of their location's article.
:If we were to split them, the Gen III Battle Frontier's Battle Tower would be merged with [[Battle Tower (Hoenn)]], and the Gen IV one with [[Battle Tower (Sinnoh)]] (not [[Battle Tower (Johto)]] though, because these are being done by Generation). The [[List of wild Pokémon in the Battle Pyramid]] would become part of the Battle Pyramid article. I agree that the Battle Palace has a very short section at the moment, and in its current state it would be a stub, but there is plenty of information that ''can'' be added to it.
:Also, there is plenty of non-facility content on the Frontier pages. If they can't hold up a featured article without the facilities crammed in there, then they shouldn't be featured anyway. They look like 5/7 articles forced onto one page.
:The fact is that the more pages which should be separate which you cram into one, the information is omitted due to the size of the page. They were "discussed" over two years ago—we are looking at more complete, information-packed pages than before. Also, I don't consider "Should we do this?" "Nah." to be a discussion. If it had really been discussed, those sections would actually have more than two comments. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 08:27, 2 August 2011 (UTC)

:::I'm not really sure which way you are arguing, but I agree. Splitting them will open up the anime and manga sections, and make it clear that both information on the individual facilities and the frontier as a whole is required.

== Questions about a Gen II Glitch ==

I found out about '''[http://www.glitcher.net/shiny-pokemon-glitch1106.htm this] glitch''' which occurs in the Japanese versions of Gold and Silver, and I noticed that the 'Pedia doesn't have an article about it. I was going to write an article for it, but I got kinda confused about the whole thing; so I thought I would firstly ask to see if you or indeed anyone on the Project Glitchdex team know anything about this and might be able to offer some thoughts/advice on how to write an article on it.

Firstly, and very importantly: what would an article on this glitch be called? The link above refers to it as a 'Shiny Glitch'; however, it can occur without any [[Shiny Pokémon]] involved in it whatsoever ('creating' shiny Pokémon is just a popular use for the glitch). It wouldn't be a [[Pokémon cloning|'cloning glitch']], seeing as it doesn't create '''perfect copies''' of Pokémon data. I was thinking then of calling it a 'Bug Catching Contest glitch'; but I'm not sure if that seems right either?

Secondly, after performing the glitch I'm not sure of its **exact** effect. The Pokémon data created is of the same species as the Pokémon that was in second, but its name and stats are different to that Pokémon; and the new Pokémon data has the same moveset as the Pokémon that was in last position, and will be shiny if the Pokémon in last was shiny. Does that mean, then, that the new data inherits the [[individual values|IVs]] of the Pokémon that was last in the party?

Do you have knowledge of this glitch, and how an article on it might be written? (Or, if it is the case, if the article should '''not''' be written?) '''[[Special:Contributions/ShiningSteelix|***]][[User talk:ShiningSteelix|shiningSteelix***]]''' 19:03, 7 August 2011 (UTC)
:Thanks for mentioning this. I think [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e4D6wJGGqZA this video] is the same glitch (if it is not, then please let me know, but it is as far as I can tell). The user of that Youtube account, {{u|Chickasaurus}}, has videos on several glitches Bulbapedia does not yet document. I do intend to get around to writing them, but I tend to try to do too many things at once. Since this one was brought up though, I'll go write it now. Also, for simplicity's sake, I'm going to use Chickasaurus's name for it too. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 09:19, 8 August 2011 (UTC)

Hi. This glitch seems to have been around since years ago, but with a slightly erroneous description. There seem to be two copies of the glitch on that site; this is the right one [http://www.glitcher.net/turn-any-pok%C3%A9mon-into-gold-and-duplicate-items-japanese-version-only-glitch95.htm], albeit [http://www.glitcher.net/shiny-pokemon-glitch1106.htm the other slightly erroneous description] mentioned seems to be more widespread. I've seen the latter on really early websites predating 'glitcher.net', and it seems like it's been spread without people really checking it.

To clarify, the glitch only works in Japanese {{2v2|Gold|Silver}} because you can't {{m|Fly}} away from the [[Bug-Catching Contest]] in English versions, which is probably the cause for some of the confusion. Even though this is called a Shiny Pokémon glitch, what the glitch does is basically use a donor Pokémon (like the red Gyarados) and copies its properties to another Pokémon when you withdraw it at the Bug Catching Contest, meaning you could use it for anything really (e.g. to teach an [unstable] Pikachu Surf and Fly). Since you deposited your recipient Pokémon, this means you can also get your original back and keep the new hybrid Pokémon you receive. The glitch is an exploit of being able to escape the Bug-Catching Contest and tricking the game into thinking you're still in the contest, which is why if you walked back in after walking out, saying NO to come back in then Flying away the game would force you to walk down into the void when you walk back into the entrance as if you were trying to walk out from the north.

The trick is to deposit the donor last, perform the exploit, deposit a target Pokémon underneath it, save then return after a few minutes after the contest has finished. For some reason or another, the game lets you withdraw an unstable hybrid of the Pokémon above the Pokémon you last deposited. This glitch does not copy just DVs, but everything including the name, stats, moves, etc. It copies one byte of the species, but not the other so it's basically an unstable hybrid of the original Pokémon. If you deposit it into Day Care, it will revert back into the original Pokémon, so I believe the trick is to evolve it to stabilize the Pokémon (e.g. use a stone), however the glitch will work regardless of the Pokémon used provided that you're using the Japanese version. --[[User:Chickasaurus|Chickasaurus]] 12:29, 8 August 2011 (UTC)
: Thanks muchly for the clarifications on this glitch <=).
I went ahead and wrote the [[Bug-Catching Contest data copy glitch|article]] now, based on the discussion here and {{tt|my own knowledge of the glitch|I have translated copies of the Japanese versions of Gold and Silver myself}}; and I'm getting 'round to linking it to the other relevant glitch pages. But still, of course, feel to edit the article in any way needed; in particular, a possible explanation as to why the glitch occurs and maybe some images (if possible) may be helpful...

[[File:Pokémon Adventures Arbok patterns.jpg|230px|thumb|right|Arbok's patterns as discribed in Pokémon Adventures]]
:* The [[Generation I]] [[Pokédex]] entries for {{p|Arbok}} state that there are six variations of markings on its belly that differ between [[region]]s. The pattern has differed in sprites; however, this is dependent on the game the Pokémon is in, rather than the game in which it was caught. In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, Arbok's abilities vary depending on its pattern.

== Questions ==

Hi SnorlaxMonster!

I have a few questions. Remember when you replied to me on [[User talk:PsychicRider|PsychicRider's talk page]] about the template for the regions. I asked you if it was okay to move Orre, but I'm not sure if you saw it.

My next question is about the Pokémon released by date. I have created one for [[User:Han Ji-Wan/Pokémon by release date (Generation IV)|Generation IV]]. I just want to know if a Pokémon was revealed at a gaming conference (like Kecleon at the PokeFesta event), is that considered an official reveal or leaked? I have a few more questions about other Pokemon's reveal, but can't remember, so I will ask you again once I do.

Also, how do we get all 3 pages (3rd, 4th, and 5th generations) mainspaced? It would probably be better if we combined all three generations into one article, but I want to hear your input. [[User:Han Ji-Wan|Han Ji-Wan]] 02:16, 17 August 2011 (UTC)
:Sorry for the delay in my reply; I saw it yesterday, then Bulbapedia was down (even checked with [http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/ this]) when I tried to reply.
:Anyway, I think the Main/Side/Spin-off needs to happen. After that quote from Masuda, nobody disagreed, but nobody has actually bothered to do much about it. For it to actually happen, we need to work on getting [[version]] moved to [[main series]], and the creation of a separate [[side series]] page. Anyway, after I left that message on your talk page, psy talked to me about it, and his main problem was the format rather than the intent.
:For my Gen V one, I was pretty much going by what Bulbapedia/news did. I would say that if it revealed officially like Zoroark was, appears with a name and art (even in a leaked magazine scan), appears in the anime, or by the game they are in being released, with them available without glitches or cheating. I don't really know the circumstances of PokéFesta. Was it revealed by people playing a demo version, or was it announced there?
:I never really intended for the pages to be separate. Go ahead and add your data if you want, but keep them in separate sections. Also, I would prefer having links on the dates, even if it means linking to Serebii. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 08:57, 18 August 2011 (UTC)

== Pokémon Reference ==

Hey I noticed the Pokémon reference page and I came across a show that possibly has a reference in it. It's in a show called MXC, known in Japan as Takeshi's Castle, and in certain episodes there is a game on there called Sperm Wheelers. They ride a bicycle that has a whale prop attached to it, that's why it's called that. The colors were blue, pink, and green. The blue one looks like {{p|Wailord}} and the pink one looks like its [[Shiny]] form. Do you think this is notable? I might be able to find pictures for proof. [[User:Pokedex493|Pokedex493]] 06:43, 3 September 2011 (UTC)
:I haven't heard of that show before, and I couldn't find any images of whales from it with a quick Google search. If you could get me an image, I could make a better judgement, but it sounds to me like it just slightly resembles a Wailord. If there was a green one as well, I think it was just a coincidence. However, I have not seen an image fo the whales, so I cannot makee an accurate judgement. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 11:55, 4 September 2011 (UTC)

== Reshiram's Tail==

Yea I thought it was a jet engine because i read that it expells fire through it in order to propel it forward, like a jet engine. Also it appears to be a jet engine because it is conical in shape and the part sticking out of it resembles jet exhaust. I guess it is based on an electric turbine but functions like a jet engine.

Okay, I've got some questions to ask you. I know this is a MediaWiki powered wiki, but is this supported by a wiki farm or is this hosted by a webmaster or someone? Why are all pages protected for unregistered users and is there a policy for this wiki? If you could answer these questions, it would be helpful. Thanks. [[User:Natsu11|Natsu11]] 10:35, 22 September 2011 (UTC)
:Bulbapedia is not hosted by a wikifarm. Bulbapedia is part of [[Bulbasaur's Mysterious Garden]], whose webmaster is [[Archaic]]. In fact, Bulbapedia is one of the founding members of the [[Nintendo Independent Wiki Alliance]], a group of wikis that are independent of wikifarms. A long time ago, it was decided that only users who have accounts should edit; it is not very difficult to create an account, and it makes things a lot more simple overall. It also deters vandals. There are several policies on this wiki: the most important policies are outlined on your welcome, the policy hub is located at [[Bulbapedia:Policy]] (although it is fairly outdated), and you can find a complete list of all of our policies {{cat|Bulbapedia policies|here}}.

I'm guessing you're the admin who closed the edit war over route 5, and it turned out in my favor, which isn't really my personal favor as much as it is common sense.

Long story short, thanks for ending the edit war.

== About splitting the Battle Frontier articles... ==

What??? Don't tell me that you'd prefer to have a bunch of stubs instead of two very organized, high quality articles. Besides, ''this was already discussed before'':
[http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Talk:Battle_Frontier_%28Generation_IV%29/Sinnoh#Seperate_articles]
[http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Talk:Battle_Frontier_%28Generation_IV%29/Featured_article_candidate#Other_comments]
I believe that it's ridiculous to turn two ''featured articles'' into lists of links to short stubs about the facilities.--[[User:Tempest370|Tempest370]] 18:36, 1 August 2011 (UTC)
:Stubs? You must be joking. Those articles are huge. Each section is big enough for its own article. Plus, if we did, it would make it a lot easier to add the anime and manga sections to both the individual facilities and the overall frontier. It's consistent with what we usually do as well; for example: [[Department Store]]s, [[Game Corner]]s, [[Trainer House]], [[Passerby Analytics HQ]], [[Big Stadium and Small Court]], [[Battle Subway]]—all of which are articles about facilities (not necessarily battle facilities) in other locations which are too important to be a part of their location's article.
:If we were to split them, the Gen III Battle Frontier's Battle Tower would be merged with [[Battle Tower (Hoenn)]], and the Gen IV one with [[Battle Tower (Sinnoh)]] (not [[Battle Tower (Johto)]] though, because these are being done by Generation). The [[List of wild Pokémon in the Battle Pyramid]] would become part of the Battle Pyramid article. I agree that the Battle Palace has a very short section at the moment, and in its current state it would be a stub, but there is plenty of information that ''can'' be added to it.
:Also, there is plenty of non-facility content on the Frontier pages. If they can't hold up a featured article without the facilities crammed in there, then they shouldn't be featured anyway. They look like 5/7 articles forced onto one page.
:The fact is that the more pages which should be separate which you cram into one, the information is omitted due to the size of the page. They were "discussed" over two years ago—we are looking at more complete, information-packed pages than before. Also, I don't consider "Should we do this?" "Nah." to be a discussion. If it had really been discussed, those sections would actually have more than two comments. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 08:27, 2 August 2011 (UTC)

:::I'm not really sure which way you are arguing, but I agree. Splitting them will open up the anime and manga sections, and make it clear that both information on the individual facilities and the frontier as a whole is required. When you have anime and manga subsections throughout an article, you can tell it is time to split. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 08:43, 2 August 2011 (UTC)

== Questions about a Gen II Glitch ==

I found out about '''[http://www.glitcher.net/shiny-pokemon-glitch1106.htm this] glitch''' which occurs in the Japanese versions of Gold and Silver, and I noticed that the 'Pedia doesn't have an article about it. I was going to write an article for it, but I got kinda confused about the whole thing; so I thought I would firstly ask to see if you or indeed anyone on the Project Glitchdex team know anything about this and might be able to offer some thoughts/advice on how to write an article on it.

Firstly, and very importantly: what would an article on this glitch be called? The link above refers to it as a 'Shiny Glitch'; however, it can occur without any [[Shiny Pokémon]] involved in it whatsoever ('creating' shiny Pokémon is just a popular use for the glitch). It wouldn't be a [[Pokémon cloning|'cloning glitch']], seeing as it doesn't create '''perfect copies''' of Pokémon data. I was thinking then of calling it a 'Bug Catching Contest glitch'; but I'm not sure if that seems right either?

Secondly, after performing the glitch I'm not sure of its **exact** effect. The Pokémon data created is of the same species as the Pokémon that was in second, but its name and stats are different to that Pokémon; and the new Pokémon data has the same moveset as the Pokémon that was in last position, and will be shiny if the Pokémon in last was shiny. Does that mean, then, that the new data inherits the [[individual values|IVs]] of the Pokémon that was last in the party?

Do you have knowledge of this glitch, and how an article on it might be written? (Or, if it is the case, if the article should '''not''' be written?) '''[[Special:Contributions/ShiningSteelix|***]][[User talk:ShiningSteelix|shiningSteelix***]]''' 19:03, 7 August 2011 (UTC)
:Thanks for mentioning this. I think [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e4D6wJGGqZA this video] is the same glitch (if it is not, then please let me know, but it is as far as I can tell). The user of that Youtube account, {{u|Chickasaurus}}, has videos on several glitches Bulbapedia does not yet document. I do intend to get around to writing them, but I tend to try to do too many things at once. Since this one was brought up though, I'll go write it now. Also, for simplicity's sake, I'm going to use Chickasaurus's name for it too. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 09:19, 8 August 2011 (UTC)

Hi. This glitch seems to have been around since years ago, but with a slightly erroneous description. There seem to be two copies of the glitch on that site; this is the right one [http://www.glitcher.net/turn-any-pok%C3%A9mon-into-gold-and-duplicate-items-japanese-version-only-glitch95.htm], albeit [http://www.glitcher.net/shiny-pokemon-glitch1106.htm the other slightly erroneous description] mentioned seems to be more widespread. I've seen the latter on really early websites predating 'glitcher.net', and it seems like it's been spread without people really checking it.

To clarify, the glitch only works in Japanese {{2v2|Gold|Silver}} because you can't {{m|Fly}} away from the [[Bug-Catching Contest]] in English versions, which is probably the cause for some of the confusion. Even though this is called a Shiny Pokémon glitch, what the glitch does is basically use a donor Pokémon (like the red Gyarados) and copies its properties to another Pokémon when you withdraw it at the Bug Catching Contest, meaning you could use it for anything really (e.g. to teach an [unstable] Pikachu Surf and Fly). Since you deposited your recipient Pokémon, this means you can also get your original back and keep the new hybrid Pokémon you receive. The glitch is an exploit of being able to escape the Bug-Catching Contest and tricking the game into thinking you're still in the contest, which is why if you walked back in after walking out, saying NO to come back in then Flying away the game would force you to walk down into the void when you walk back into the entrance as if you were trying to walk out from the north.

The trick is to deposit the donor last, perform the exploit, deposit a target Pokémon underneath it, save then return after a few minutes after the contest has finished. For some reason or another, the game lets you withdraw an unstable hybrid of the Pokémon above the Pokémon you last deposited. This glitch does not copy just DVs, but everything including the name, stats, moves, etc. It copies one byte of the species, but not the other so it's basically an unstable hybrid of the original Pokémon. If you deposit it into Day Care, it will revert back into the original Pokémon, so I believe the trick is to evolve it to stabilize the Pokémon (e.g. use a stone), however the glitch will work regardless of the Pokémon used provided that you're using the Japanese version. --[[User:Chickasaurus|Chickasaurus]] 12:29, 8 August 2011 (UTC)
: Thanks muchly for the clarifications on this glitch <=).
I went ahead and wrote the [[Bug-Catching Contest data copy glitch|article]] now, based on the discussion here and {{tt|my own knowledge of the glitch|I have translated copies of the Japanese versions of Gold and Silver myself}}; and I'm getting 'round to linking it to the other relevant glitch pages. But still, of course, feel to edit the article in any way needed; in particular, a possible explanation as to why the glitch occurs and maybe some images (if possible) may be helpful...

Good afternoon.

Is [[a:File:Pokémon_Adventures_Arbok_patterns.jpg|this file]] necessary? The four patterns shown were already uploaded to the Archives. I removed it from [[Form differences]].

[[File:Pokémon Adventures Arbok patterns.jpg|230px|thumb|right|Arbok's patterns as discribed in Pokémon Adventures]]
:* The [[Generation I]] [[Pokédex]] entries for {{p|Arbok}} state that there are six variations of markings on its belly that differ between [[region]]s. The pattern has differed in sprites; however, this is dependent on the game the Pokémon is in, rather than the game in which it was caught. In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, Arbok's abilities vary depending on its pattern.

== Questions ==

Hi SnorlaxMonster!

I have a few questions. Remember when you replied to me on [[User talk:PsychicRider|PsychicRider's talk page]] about the template for the regions. I asked you if it was okay to move Orre, but I'm not sure if you saw it.

My next question is about the Pokémon released by date. I have created one for [[User:Han Ji-Wan/Pokémon by release date (Generation IV)|Generation IV]]. I just want to know if a Pokémon was revealed at a gaming conference (like Kecleon at the PokeFesta event), is that considered an official reveal or leaked? I have a few more questions about other Pokemon's reveal, but can't remember, so I will ask you again once I do.

Also, how do we get all 3 pages (3rd, 4th, and 5th generations) mainspaced? It would probably be better if we combined all three generations into one article, but I want to hear your input. [[User:Han Ji-Wan|Han Ji-Wan]] 02:16, 17 August 2011 (UTC)
:Sorry for the delay in my reply; I saw it yesterday, then Bulbapedia was down (even checked with [http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/ this]) when I tried to reply.
:Anyway, I think the Main/Side/Spin-off needs to happen. After that quote from Masuda, nobody disagreed, but nobody has actually bothered to do much about it. For it to actually happen, we need to work on getting [[version]] moved to [[main series]], and the creation of a separate [[side series]] page. Anyway, after I left that message on your talk page, psy talked to me about it, and his main problem was the format rather than the intent.
:For my Gen V one, I was pretty much going by what Bulbapedia/news did. I would say that if it revealed officially like Zoroark was, appears with a name and art (even in a leaked magazine scan), appears in the anime, or by the game they are in being released, with them available without glitches or cheating. I don't really know the circumstances of PokéFesta. Was it revealed by people playing a demo version, or was it announced there?
:I never really intended for the pages to be separate. Go ahead and add your data if you want, but keep them in separate sections.

== Pokémon Reference ==

Hey I noticed the Pokémon reference page and I came across a show that possibly has a reference in it. It's in a show called MXC, known in Japan as Takeshi's Castle, and in certain episodes there is a game on there called Sperm Wheelers. They ride a bicycle that has a whale prop attached to it, that's why it's called that. The colors were blue, pink, and green. The blue one looks like {{p|Wailord}} and the pink one looks like its [[Shiny]] form. Do you think this is notable? I might be able to find pictures for proof.

Yea I thought it was a jet engine because i read that it expells fire through it in order to propel it forward, like a jet engine. Also it appears to be a jet engine because it is conical in shape and the part sticking out of it resembles jet exhaust. I guess it is based on an electric turbine but functions like a jet engine.

I actually don't have a userpage yet, and a problem has come up in creating it.

== Questions ==

Okay, I've got some questions to ask you. I know this is a MediaWiki powered wiki, but is this supported by a wiki farm or is this hosted by a webmaster or someone? Why are all pages protected for unregistered users and is there a policy for this wiki? If you could answer these questions, it would be helpful. Thanks. [[User:Natsu11|Natsu11]] 10:35, 22 September 2011 (UTC)
:Bulbapedia is not hosted by a wikifarm. Bulbapedia is part of [[Bulbasaur's Mysterious Garden]], whose webmaster is [[Archaic]]. In fact, Bulbapedia is one of the founding members of the [[Nintendo Independent Wiki Alliance]], a group of wikis that are independent of wikifarms. A long time ago, it was decided that only users who have accounts should edit; it is not very difficult to create an account, and it makes things a lot more simple overall. It also deters vandals. There are several policies on this wiki: the most important policies are outlined on your welcome, the policy hub is located at [[Bulbapedia:Policy]] (although it is fairly outdated), and you can find a complete list of all of our policies {{cat|Bulbapedia policies|here}}.

I'm guessing you're the admin who closed the edit war over route 5, and it turned out in my favor, which isn't really my personal favor as much as it is common sense.

Long story short, thanks for ending the edit war.

I would rather not use an anime image, due to the sheer size.

== About splitting the Battle Frontier articles... ==

What??? Don't tell me that you'd prefer to have a bunch of stubs instead of two very organized, high quality articles. Besides, ''this was already discussed before'':
[http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Talk:Battle_Frontier_%28Generation_IV%29/Sinnoh#Seperate_articles]
[http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Talk:Battle_Frontier_%28Generation_IV%29/Featured_article_candidate#Other_comments]
I believe that it's ridiculous to turn two ''featured articles'' into lists of links to short stubs about the facilities.--[[User:Tempest370|Tempest370]] 18:36, 1 August 2011 (UTC)
:Stubs? You must be joking. Those articles are huge. Each section is big enough for its own article. Plus, if we did, it would make it a lot easier to add the anime and manga sections to both the individual facilities and the overall frontier. It's consistent with what we usually do as well; for example: [[Department Store]]s, [[Game Corner]]s, [[Trainer House]], [[Passerby Analytics HQ]], [[Big Stadium and Small Court]], [[Battle Subway]]—all of which are articles about facilities (not necessarily battle facilities) in other locations which are too important to be a part of their location's article.
:If we were to split them, the Gen III Battle Frontier's Battle Tower would be merged with [[Battle Tower (Hoenn)]], and the Gen IV one with [[Battle Tower (Sinnoh)]] (not [[Battle Tower (Johto)]] though, because these are being done by Generation). The [[List of wild Pokémon in the Battle Pyramid]] would become part of the Battle Pyramid article. I agree that the Battle Palace has a very short section at the moment, and in its current state it would be a stub, but there is plenty of information that ''can'' be added to it.
:Also, there is plenty of non-facility content on the Frontier pages. If they can't hold up a featured article without the facilities crammed in there, then they shouldn't be featured anyway. They look like 5/7 articles forced onto one page.
:The fact is that the more pages which should be separate which you cram into one, the information is omitted due to the size of the page. They were "discussed" over two years ago—we are looking at more complete, information-packed pages than before. Also, I don't consider "Should we do this?" "Nah." to be a discussion. If it had really been discussed, those sections would actually have more than two comments. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 08:27, 2 August 2011 (UTC)

:::I'm not really sure which way you are arguing, but I agree. Splitting them will open up the anime and manga sections, and make it clear that both information on the individual facilities and the frontier as a whole is required. When you have anime and manga subsections throughout an article, you can tell it is time to split. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 08:43, 2 August 2011 (UTC)

== Questions about a Gen II Glitch ==

I found out about '''[http://www.glitcher.net/shiny-pokemon-glitch1106.htm this] glitch''' which occurs in the Japanese versions of Gold and Silver, and I noticed that the 'Pedia doesn't have an article about it. I was going to write an article for it, but I got kinda confused about the whole thing; so I thought I would firstly ask to see if you or indeed anyone on the Project Glitchdex team know anything about this and might be able to offer some thoughts/advice on how to write an article on it.

Firstly, and very importantly: what would an article on this glitch be called? The link above refers to it as a 'Shiny Glitch'; however, it can occur without any [[Shiny Pokémon]] involved in it whatsoever ('creating' shiny Pokémon is just a popular use for the glitch). It wouldn't be a [[Pokémon cloning|'cloning glitch']], seeing as it doesn't create '''perfect copies''' of Pokémon data. I was thinking then of calling it a 'Bug Catching Contest glitch'; but I'm not sure if that seems right either?

Secondly, after performing the glitch I'm not sure of its **exact** effect. The Pokémon data created is of the same species as the Pokémon that was in second, but its name and stats are different to that Pokémon; and the new Pokémon data has the same moveset as the Pokémon that was in last position, and will be shiny if the Pokémon in last was shiny. Does that mean, then, that the new data inherits the [[individual values|IVs]] of the Pokémon that was last in the party?

Do you have knowledge of this glitch, and how an article on it might be written? (Or, if it is the case, if the article should '''not''' be written?) '''[[Special:Contributions/ShiningSteelix|***]][[User talk:ShiningSteelix|shiningSteelix***]]''' 19:03, 7 August 2011 (UTC)
:Thanks for mentioning this. I think [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e4D6wJGGqZA this video] is the same glitch (if it is not, then please let me know, but it is as far as I can tell). The user of that Youtube account, {{u|Chickasaurus}}, has videos on several glitches Bulbapedia does not yet document. I do intend to get around to writing them, but I tend to try to do too many things at once. Since this one was brought up though, I'll go write it now. Also, for simplicity's sake, I'm going to use Chickasaurus's name for it too. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 09:19, 8 August 2011 (UTC)

Hi. This glitch seems to have been around since years ago, but with a slightly erroneous description. There seem to be two copies of the glitch on that site; this is the right one [http://www.glitcher.net/turn-any-pok%C3%A9mon-into-gold-and-duplicate-items-japanese-version-only-glitch95.htm], albeit [http://www.glitcher.net/shiny-pokemon-glitch1106.htm the other slightly erroneous description] mentioned seems to be more widespread. I've seen the latter on really early websites predating 'glitcher.net', and it seems like it's been spread without people really checking it.

To clarify, the glitch only works in Japanese {{2v2|Gold|Silver}} because you can't {{m|Fly}} away from the [[Bug-Catching Contest]] in English versions, which is probably the cause for some of the confusion. Even though this is called a Shiny Pokémon glitch, what the glitch does is basically use a donor Pokémon (like the red Gyarados) and copies its properties to another Pokémon when you withdraw it at the Bug Catching Contest, meaning you could use it for anything really (e.g. to teach an [unstable] Pikachu Surf and Fly). Since you deposited your recipient Pokémon, this means you can also get your original back and keep the new hybrid Pokémon you receive. The glitch is an exploit of being able to escape the Bug-Catching Contest and tricking the game into thinking you're still in the contest, which is why if you walked back in after walking out, saying NO to come back in then Flying away the game would force you to walk down into the void when you walk back into the entrance as if you were trying to walk out from the north.

The trick is to deposit the donor last, perform the exploit, deposit a target Pokémon underneath it, save then return after a few minutes after the contest has finished. For some reason or another, the game lets you withdraw an unstable hybrid of the Pokémon above the Pokémon you last deposited. This glitch does not copy just DVs, but everything including the name, stats, moves, etc. It copies one byte of the species, but not the other so it's basically an unstable hybrid of the original Pokémon. If you deposit it into Day Care, it will revert back into the original Pokémon, so I believe the trick is to evolve it to stabilize the Pokémon (e.g. use a stone), however the glitch will work regardless of the Pokémon used provided that you're using the Japanese version. --[[User:Chickasaurus|Chickasaurus]] 12:29, 8 August 2011 (UTC)
: Thanks muchly for the clarifications on this glitch <=).
I went ahead and wrote the [[Bug-Catching Contest data copy glitch|article]] now, based on the discussion here and {{tt|my own knowledge of the glitch|I have translated copies of the Japanese versions of Gold and Silver myself}}; and I'm getting 'round to linking it to the other relevant glitch pages. But still, of course, feel to edit the article in any way needed; in particular, a possible explanation as to why the glitch occurs and maybe some images (if possible) may be helpful...

:* The [[Generation I]] [[Pokédex]] entries for {{p|Arbok}} state that there are six variations of markings on its belly that differ between [[region]]s. The pattern has differed in sprites; however, this is dependent on the game the Pokémon is in, rather than the game in which it was caught. In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, Arbok's abilities vary depending on its pattern.

== Questions ==

Hi SnorlaxMonster!

I have a few questions. Remember when you replied to me on [[User talk:PsychicRider|PsychicRider's talk page]] about the template for the regions. I asked you if it was okay to move Orre, but I'm not sure if you saw it.

My next question is about the Pokémon released by date. I have created one for [[User:Han Ji-Wan/Pokémon by release date (Generation IV)|Generation IV]]. I just want to know if a Pokémon was revealed at a gaming conference (like Kecleon at the PokeFesta event), is that considered an official reveal or leaked? I have a few more questions about other Pokemon's reveal, but can't remember, so I will ask you again once I do.

Also, how do we get all 3 pages (3rd, 4th, and 5th generations) mainspaced? It would probably be better if we combined all three generations into one article, but I want to hear your input. [[User:Han Ji-Wan|Han Ji-Wan]] 02:16, 17 August 2011 (UTC)
:Sorry for the delay in my reply; I saw it yesterday, then Bulbapedia was down (even checked with [http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/ this]) when I tried to reply.
:Anyway, I think the Main/Side/Spin-off needs to happen. After that quote from Masuda, nobody disagreed, but nobody has actually bothered to do much about it. For it to actually happen, we need to work on getting [[version]] moved to [[main series]], and the creation of a separate [[side series]] page. Anyway, after I left that message on your talk page, psy talked to me about it, and his main problem was the format rather than the intent.
:For my Gen V one, I was pretty much going by what Bulbapedia/news did. I would say that if it revealed officially like Zoroark was, appears with a name and art (even in a leaked magazine scan), appears in the anime, or by the game they are in being released, with them available without glitches or cheating. I don't really know the circumstances of PokéFesta. Was it revealed by people playing a demo version, or was it announced there?
:I never really intended for the pages to be separate. Go ahead and add your data if you want, but keep them in separate sections.

== Pokémon Reference ==

Hey I noticed the Pokémon reference page and I came across a show that possibly has a reference in it. It's in a show called MXC, known in Japan as Takeshi's Castle, and in certain episodes there is a game on there called Sperm Wheelers. They ride a bicycle that has a whale prop attached to it, that's why it's called that. The colors were blue, pink, and green. The blue one looks like {{p|Wailord}} and the pink one looks like its [[Shiny]] form. Do you think this is notable? I might be able to find pictures for proof. [[User:Pokedex493|Pokedex493]] 06:43, 3 September 2011 (UTC)
:I haven't heard of that show before, and I couldn't find any images of whales from it with a quick Google search. If you could get me an image, I could make a better judgement, but it sounds to me like it just slightly resembles a Wailord. If there was a green one as well, I think it was just a coincidence.

Yea I thought it was a jet engine because i read that it expells fire through it in order to propel it forward, like a jet engine.

Shouldn't he have gotten, like, a warning first? Might just be me, but isn't it a tad harsh to permaban for a first offense? - ''unsigned comment from [[User:Missingno. Master|Missingno.

:The user was clearly being destructive. If a user joins and just does clearly vandalistic edits straight away, protocol is to block without warning. If they had been constructive beforehand, they would still receive a block, but not a permaban.

== Info tabs==

Hi i am very new here and if you don't mind i will be asking a question or two once in a while.
I looked at your user page and was wondering how you put up those little tabs on the side saying either what you did on Bulbapedia or just little facts about yourself. Exactly how do you do that? [[User:Arceustheomnipotent|Arceustheomnipotent]] 05:39, 19 September 2011 (UTC)

== Submission ==

I see you've taken {{m|Submission}} out of [[Ash's Charizard]]'s move template, but I think you shouldn't have done that: I've seen the Japanese version, and the command for Submission (the actual move) is also in there. Besides, I think what Ash said was "aerial Submission", not "Aerial Submission." --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] 13:07, 2 July 2011 (UTC)

== Route 5 ==

I'm guessing you're the admin who closed the edit war over route 5, and it turned out in my favor, which isn't really my personal favor as much as it is common sense. The Liepards are never generated before the battle ensues, and any combination of Pokemon (species and gender) on that route can occur, so I have no clue why the person kept reverting it back to the "mated Liepards"

Long story short, thanks for ending the edit war.
(Is this even where I'm suppose to post this sort of thing?) {{unsigned|Johto-Master}}
:You are correct, it was me. I don't really understand why it would be that way either. Just note that in future, it is better to discuss the edit on the other user's talk page or the talk page of the article, or simply contact an admin to resolve the conflict. Edit warring like you did is not permitted, even with good intentions. To answer your final question, here is probably the best place to put that sort of thing. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 12:52, 4 July 2011 (UTC)

As i told Cold, Confusion doesn't have the same effect and PP as Psychic, but still is considered the weaker version of the move.

== About splitting the Battle Frontier articles... ==

What??? Don't tell me that you'd prefer to have a bunch of stubs instead of two very organized, high quality articles. Besides, ''this was already discussed before'':
[http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Talk:Battle_Frontier_%28Generation_IV%29/Sinnoh#Seperate_articles]
[http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Talk:Battle_Frontier_%28Generation_IV%29/Featured_article_candidate#Other_comments]
I believe that it's ridiculous to turn two ''featured articles'' into lists of links to short stubs about the facilities.--[[User:Tempest370|Tempest370]] 18:36, 1 August 2011 (UTC)
:Stubs? You must be joking. Those articles are huge. Each section is big enough for its own article. Plus, if we did, it would make it a lot easier to add the anime and manga sections to both the individual facilities and the overall frontier. It's consistent with what we usually do as well; for example: [[Department Store]]s, [[Game Corner]]s, [[Trainer House]], [[Passerby Analytics HQ]], [[Big Stadium and Small Court]], [[Battle Subway]]—all of which are articles about facilities (not necessarily battle facilities) in other locations which are too important to be a part of their location's article.
:If we were to split them, the Gen III Battle Frontier's Battle Tower would be merged with [[Battle Tower (Hoenn)]], and the Gen IV one with [[Battle Tower (Sinnoh)]] (not [[Battle Tower (Johto)]] though, because these are being done by Generation). The [[List of wild Pokémon in the Battle Pyramid]] would become part of the Battle Pyramid article. I agree that the Battle Palace has a very short section at the moment, and in its current state it would be a stub, but there is plenty of information that ''can'' be added to it.
:Also, there is plenty of non-facility content on the Frontier pages. If they can't hold up a featured article without the facilities crammed in there, then they shouldn't be featured anyway. They look like 5/7 articles forced onto one page.
:The fact is that the more pages which should be separate which you cram into one, the information is omitted due to the size of the page. They were "discussed" over two years ago—we are looking at more complete, information-packed pages than before. Also, I don't consider "Should we do this?" "Nah." to be a discussion. If it had really been discussed, those sections would actually have more than two comments. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 08:27, 2 August 2011 (UTC)

:::I'm not really sure which way you are arguing, but I agree.

:It's one of only four Dragon-type pseudo-legendary Pokémon. It would be notable if they were all Dragon-type, but when two of them aren't, it isn't really notable.

== Questions about a Gen II Glitch ==

I found out about '''[http://www.glitcher.net/shiny-pokemon-glitch1106.htm this] glitch''' which occurs in the Japanese versions of Gold and Silver, and I noticed that the 'Pedia doesn't have an article about it. I was going to write an article for it, but I got kinda confused about the whole thing; so I thought I would firstly ask to see if you or indeed anyone on the Project Glitchdex team know anything about this and might be able to offer some thoughts/advice on how to write an article on it.

Firstly, and very importantly: what would an article on this glitch be called? The link above refers to it as a 'Shiny Glitch'; however, it can occur without any [[Shiny Pokémon]] involved in it whatsoever ('creating' shiny Pokémon is just a popular use for the glitch). It wouldn't be a [[Pokémon cloning|'cloning glitch']], seeing as it doesn't create '''perfect copies''' of Pokémon data. I was thinking then of calling it a 'Bug Catching Contest glitch'; but I'm not sure if that seems right either?

Secondly, after performing the glitch I'm not sure of its **exact** effect. The Pokémon data created is of the same species as the Pokémon that was in second, but its name and stats are different to that Pokémon; and the new Pokémon data has the same moveset as the Pokémon that was in last position, and will be shiny if the Pokémon in last was shiny. Does that mean, then, that the new data inherits the [[individual values|IVs]] of the Pokémon that was last in the party?

Do you have knowledge of this glitch, and how an article on it might be written? (Or, if it is the case, if the article should '''not''' be written?) '''[[Special:Contributions/ShiningSteelix|***]][[User talk:ShiningSteelix|shiningSteelix***]]''' 19:03, 7 August 2011 (UTC)
:Thanks for mentioning this. I think [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e4D6wJGGqZA this video] is the same glitch (if it is not, then please let me know, but it is as far as I can tell). The user of that Youtube account, {{u|Chickasaurus}}, has videos on several glitches Bulbapedia does not yet document. I do intend to get around to writing them, but I tend to try to do too many things at once. Since this one was brought up though, I'll go write it now. Also, for simplicity's sake, I'm going to use Chickasaurus's name for it too. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 09:19, 8 August 2011 (UTC)

Hi. This glitch seems to have been around since years ago, but with a slightly erroneous description. There seem to be two copies of the glitch on that site; this is the right one [http://www.glitcher.net/turn-any-pok%C3%A9mon-into-gold-and-duplicate-items-japanese-version-only-glitch95.htm], albeit [http://www.glitcher.net/shiny-pokemon-glitch1106.htm the other slightly erroneous description] mentioned seems to be more widespread. I've seen the latter on really early websites predating 'glitcher.net', and it seems like it's been spread without people really checking it.

To clarify, the glitch only works in Japanese {{2v2|Gold|Silver}} because you can't {{m|Fly}} away from the [[Bug-Catching Contest]] in English versions, which is probably the cause for some of the confusion. Even though this is called a Shiny Pokémon glitch, what the glitch does is basically use a donor Pokémon (like the red Gyarados) and copies its properties to another Pokémon when you withdraw it at the Bug Catching Contest, meaning you could use it for anything really (e.g. to teach an [unstable] Pikachu Surf and Fly). Since you deposited your recipient Pokémon, this means you can also get your original back and keep the new hybrid Pokémon you receive. The glitch is an exploit of being able to escape the Bug-Catching Contest and tricking the game into thinking you're still in the contest, which is why if you walked back in after walking out, saying NO to come back in then Flying away the game would force you to walk down into the void when you walk back into the entrance as if you were trying to walk out from the north.

The trick is to deposit the donor last, perform the exploit, deposit a target Pokémon underneath it, save then return after a few minutes after the contest has finished. For some reason or another, the game lets you withdraw an unstable hybrid of the Pokémon above the Pokémon you last deposited. This glitch does not copy just DVs, but everything including the name, stats, moves, etc. It copies one byte of the species, but not the other so it's basically an unstable hybrid of the original Pokémon. If you deposit it into Day Care, it will revert back into the original Pokémon, so I believe the trick is to evolve it to stabilize the Pokémon (e.g. use a stone), however the glitch will work regardless of the Pokémon used provided that you're using the Japanese version. --[[User:Chickasaurus|Chickasaurus]] 12:29, 8 August 2011 (UTC)
: Thanks muchly for the clarifications on this glitch <=).
I went ahead and wrote the [[Bug-Catching Contest data copy glitch|article]] now, based on the discussion here and {{tt|my own knowledge of the glitch|I have translated copies of the Japanese versions of Gold and Silver myself}}; and I'm getting 'round to linking it to the other relevant glitch pages. But still, of course, feel to edit the article in any way needed; in particular, a possible explanation as to why the glitch occurs and maybe some images (if possible) may be helpful...

== Arbok ==

Good afternoon.

Is [[a:File:Pokémon_Adventures_Arbok_patterns.jpg|this file]] necessary? The four patterns shown were already uploaded to the Archives. I removed it from [[Form differences]]. It's OK if you put back, but please don't undo my edition, I also changed other stuff. '''|) u |( e''' 20:04, 11 August 2011 (UTC)
:I thought of something, the image you uploaded would be even in larger size. Tell me if you like it:

[[File:Pokémon Adventures Arbok patterns.jpg|230px|thumb|right|Arbok's patterns as discribed in Pokémon Adventures]]
:* The [[Generation I]] [[Pokédex]] entries for {{p|Arbok}} state that there are six variations of markings on its belly that differ between [[region]]s. The pattern has differed in sprites; however, this is dependent on the game the Pokémon is in, rather than the game in which it was caught. In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, Arbok's abilities vary depending on its pattern.

:Yes. Sneasal and Chimchar will not know Assist if the father does in DPPt, but will in HGSS. Also, we only include Pokémon that learn it via level up and can be a father, so Delcatty should not be listed since it does not learn it, only Skitty does. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 04:35, 14 August 2011 (UTC)
::Fine, but the reason for the confusion was because of the fact that it was messed up in the first place. And I fixed it. Also, if we're only supposed to list Pokémon by level up, then why is it that on multiple Pokémon pages that I have looked at, under their specific breeding info, this isn't true?

:::Yeah, that's the way it is supposed to be, but unfortunately a lot of Pokémon pages use a different standard to the move pages. They should all use that standard, where only Pokémon that can father the Pokémon and learn it via level up should be listed. If it can only be passed on by chain breeding or Pokémon which learned it in a previous generation, they should be listed, and that fact should be noted. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 04:49, 14 August 2011 (UTC)

== Questions ==

Hi SnorlaxMonster!

I have a few questions. Remember when you replied to me on [[User talk:PsychicRider|PsychicRider's talk page]] about the template for the regions. I asked you if it was okay to move Orre, but I'm not sure if you saw it.

My next question is about the Pokémon released by date. I have created one for [[User:Han Ji-Wan/Pokémon by release date (Generation IV)|Generation IV]]. I just want to know if a Pokémon was revealed at a gaming conference (like Kecleon at the PokeFesta event), is that considered an official reveal or leaked? I have a few more questions about other Pokemon's reveal, but can't remember, so I will ask you again once I do.

Also, how do we get all 3 pages (3rd, 4th, and 5th generations) mainspaced? It would probably be better if we combined all three generations into one article, but I want to hear your input. [[User:Han Ji-Wan|Han Ji-Wan]] 02:16, 17 August 2011 (UTC)
:Sorry for the delay in my reply; I saw it yesterday, then Bulbapedia was down (even checked with [http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/ this]) when I tried to reply.
:Anyway, I think the Main/Side/Spin-off needs to happen. After that quote from Masuda, nobody disagreed, but nobody has actually bothered to do much about it. For it to actually happen, we need to work on getting [[version]] moved to [[main series]], and the creation of a separate [[side series]] page. Anyway, after I left that message on your talk page, psy talked to me about it, and his main problem was the format rather than the intent.
:For my Gen V one, I was pretty much going by what Bulbapedia/news did. I would say that if it revealed officially like Zoroark was, appears with a name and art (even in a leaked magazine scan), appears in the anime, or by the game they are in being released, with them available without glitches or cheating. I don't really know the circumstances of PokéFesta. Was it revealed by people playing a demo version, or was it announced there?
:I never really intended for the pages to be separate. Go ahead and add your data if you want, but keep them in separate sections. Also, I would prefer having links on the dates, even if it means linking to Serebii. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 08:57, 18 August 2011 (UTC)

== Pokémon Reference ==

Hey I noticed the Pokémon reference page and I came across a show that possibly has a reference in it. It's in a show called MXC, known in Japan as Takeshi's Castle, and in certain episodes there is a game on there called Sperm Wheelers. They ride a bicycle that has a whale prop attached to it, that's why it's called that. The colors were blue, pink, and green. The blue one looks like {{p|Wailord}} and the pink one looks like its [[Shiny]] form. Do you think this is notable? I might be able to find pictures for proof. [[User:Pokedex493|Pokedex493]] 06:43, 3 September 2011 (UTC)
:I haven't heard of that show before, and I couldn't find any images of whales from it with a quick Google search. If you could get me an image, I could make a better judgement, but it sounds to me like it just slightly resembles a Wailord. If there was a green one as well, I think it was just a coincidence.

== Info tabs==

Hi i am very new here and if you don't mind i will be asking a question or two once in a while.
I looked at your user page and was wondering how you put up those little tabs on the side saying either what you did on Bulbapedia or just little facts about yourself. Exactly how do you do that? [[User:Arceustheomnipotent|Arceustheomnipotent]] 05:39, 19 September 2011 (UTC)

== Submission ==

I see you've taken {{m|Submission}} out of [[Ash's Charizard]]'s move template, but I think you shouldn't have done that: I've seen the Japanese version, and the command for Submission (the actual move) is also in there. Besides, I think what Ash said was "aerial Submission", not "Aerial Submission." --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] 13:07, 2 July 2011 (UTC)

:If I may butt in, I was thinking of raising the issue myself, having watched the episode today.

== Route 5 ==

I'm guessing you're the admin who closed the edit war over route 5, and it turned out in my favor, which isn't really my personal favor as much as it is common sense. The Liepards are never generated before the battle ensues, and any combination of Pokemon (species and gender) on that route can occur, so I have no clue why the person kept reverting it back to the "mated Liepards"

Long story short, thanks for ending the edit war.
(Is this even where I'm suppose to post this sort of thing?) {{unsigned|Johto-Master}}
:You are correct, it was me. I don't really understand why it would be that way either. Just note that in future, it is better to discuss the edit on the other user's talk page or the talk page of the article, or simply contact an admin to resolve the conflict. Edit warring like you did is not permitted, even with good intentions. To answer your final question, here is probably the best place to put that sort of thing. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 12:52, 4 July 2011 (UTC)

== About splitting the Battle Frontier articles... ==

What??? Don't tell me that you'd prefer to have a bunch of stubs instead of two very organized, high quality articles. Besides, ''this was already discussed before'':
[http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Talk:Battle_Frontier_%28Generation_IV%29/Sinnoh#Seperate_articles]
[http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Talk:Battle_Frontier_%28Generation_IV%29/Featured_article_candidate#Other_comments]
I believe that it's ridiculous to turn two ''featured articles'' into lists of links to short stubs about the facilities.--[[User:Tempest370|Tempest370]] 18:36, 1 August 2011 (UTC)
:Stubs? You must be joking. Those articles are huge. Each section is big enough for its own article. Plus, if we did, it would make it a lot easier to add the anime and manga sections to both the individual facilities and the overall frontier. It's consistent with what we usually do as well; for example: [[Department Store]]s, [[Game Corner]]s, [[Trainer House]], [[Passerby Analytics HQ]], [[Big Stadium and Small Court]], [[Battle Subway]]—all of which are articles about facilities (not necessarily battle facilities) in other locations which are too important to be a part of their location's article.
:If we were to split them, the Gen III Battle Frontier's Battle Tower would be merged with [[Battle Tower (Hoenn)]], and the Gen IV one with [[Battle Tower (Sinnoh)]] (not [[Battle Tower (Johto)]] though, because these are being done by Generation). The [[List of wild Pokémon in the Battle Pyramid]] would become part of the Battle Pyramid article. I agree that the Battle Palace has a very short section at the moment, and in its current state it would be a stub, but there is plenty of information that ''can'' be added to it.
:Also, there is plenty of non-facility content on the Frontier pages. If they can't hold up a featured article without the facilities crammed in there, then they shouldn't be featured anyway. They look like 5/7 articles forced onto one page.
:The fact is that the more pages which should be separate which you cram into one, the information is omitted due to the size of the page. They were "discussed" over two years ago—we are looking at more complete, information-packed pages than before. Also, I don't consider "Should we do this?" "Nah." to be a discussion. If it had really been discussed, those sections would actually have more than two comments. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 08:27, 2 August 2011 (UTC)

== Questions about a Gen II Glitch ==

I found out about '''[http://www.glitcher.net/shiny-pokemon-glitch1106.htm this] glitch''' which occurs in the Japanese versions of Gold and Silver, and I noticed that the 'Pedia doesn't have an article about it. I was going to write an article for it, but I got kinda confused about the whole thing; so I thought I would firstly ask to see if you or indeed anyone on the Project Glitchdex team know anything about this and might be able to offer some thoughts/advice on how to write an article on it.

Firstly, and very importantly: what would an article on this glitch be called? The link above refers to it as a 'Shiny Glitch'; however, it can occur without any [[Shiny Pokémon]] involved in it whatsoever ('creating' shiny Pokémon is just a popular use for the glitch). It wouldn't be a [[Pokémon cloning|'cloning glitch']], seeing as it doesn't create '''perfect copies''' of Pokémon data. I was thinking then of calling it a 'Bug Catching Contest glitch'; but I'm not sure if that seems right either?

Secondly, after performing the glitch I'm not sure of its **exact** effect. The Pokémon data created is of the same species as the Pokémon that was in second, but its name and stats are different to that Pokémon; and the new Pokémon data has the same moveset as the Pokémon that was in last position, and will be shiny if the Pokémon in last was shiny. Does that mean, then, that the new data inherits the [[individual values|IVs]] of the Pokémon that was last in the party?

Do you have knowledge of this glitch, and how an article on it might be written? (Or, if it is the case, if the article should '''not''' be written?) '''[[Special:Contributions/ShiningSteelix|***]][[User talk:ShiningSteelix|shiningSteelix***]]''' 19:03, 7 August 2011 (UTC)
:Thanks for mentioning this. I think [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e4D6wJGGqZA this video] is the same glitch (if it is not, then please let me know, but it is as far as I can tell). The user of that Youtube account, {{u|Chickasaurus}}, has videos on several glitches Bulbapedia does not yet document. I do intend to get around to writing them, but I tend to try to do too many things at once. Since this one was brought up though, I'll go write it now. Also, for simplicity's sake, I'm going to use Chickasaurus's name for it too. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 09:19, 8 August 2011 (UTC)

Hi. This glitch seems to have been around since years ago, but with a slightly erroneous description. There seem to be two copies of the glitch on that site; this is the right one [http://www.glitcher.net/turn-any-pok%C3%A9mon-into-gold-and-duplicate-items-japanese-version-only-glitch95.htm], albeit [http://www.glitcher.net/shiny-pokemon-glitch1106.htm the other slightly erroneous description] mentioned seems to be more widespread. I've seen the latter on really early websites predating 'glitcher.net', and it seems like it's been spread without people really checking it.

To clarify, the glitch only works in Japanese {{2v2|Gold|Silver}} because you can't {{m|Fly}} away from the [[Bug-Catching Contest]] in English versions, which is probably the cause for some of the confusion. Even though this is called a Shiny Pokémon glitch, what the glitch does is basically use a donor Pokémon (like the red Gyarados) and copies its properties to another Pokémon when you withdraw it at the Bug Catching Contest, meaning you could use it for anything really (e.g. to teach an [unstable] Pikachu Surf and Fly). Since you deposited your recipient Pokémon, this means you can also get your original back and keep the new hybrid Pokémon you receive. The glitch is an exploit of being able to escape the Bug-Catching Contest and tricking the game into thinking you're still in the contest, which is why if you walked back in after walking out, saying NO to come back in then Flying away the game would force you to walk down into the void when you walk back into the entrance as if you were trying to walk out from the north.

The trick is to deposit the donor last, perform the exploit, deposit a target Pokémon underneath it, save then return after a few minutes after the contest has finished. For some reason or another, the game lets you withdraw an unstable hybrid of the Pokémon above the Pokémon you last deposited. This glitch does not copy just DVs, but everything including the name, stats, moves, etc. It copies one byte of the species, but not the other so it's basically an unstable hybrid of the original Pokémon. If you deposit it into Day Care, it will revert back into the original Pokémon, so I believe the trick is to evolve it to stabilize the Pokémon (e.g. use a stone), however the glitch will work regardless of the Pokémon used provided that you're using the Japanese version. --[[User:Chickasaurus|Chickasaurus]] 12:29, 8 August 2011 (UTC)

I went ahead and wrote the [[Bug-Catching Contest data copy glitch|article]] now, based on the discussion here and {{tt|my own knowledge of the glitch|I have translated copies of the Japanese versions of Gold and Silver myself}}; and I'm getting 'round to linking it to the other relevant glitch pages. But still, of course, feel to edit the article in any way needed; in particular, a possible explanation as to why the glitch occurs and maybe some images (if possible) may be helpful...

== Arbok ==

Good afternoon.

Is [[a:File:Pokémon_Adventures_Arbok_patterns.jpg|this file]] necessary? The four patterns shown were already uploaded to the Archives. I removed it from [[Form differences]]. It's OK if you put back, but please don't undo my edition, I also changed other stuff. '''|) u |( e''' 20:04, 11 August 2011 (UTC)
:I thought of something, the image you uploaded would be even in larger size. Tell me if you like it:

[[File:Pokémon Adventures Arbok patterns.jpg|230px|thumb|right|Arbok's patterns as discribed in Pokémon Adventures]]
:* The [[Generation I]] [[Pokédex]] entries for {{p|Arbok}} state that there are six variations of markings on its belly that differ between [[region]]s. The pattern has differed in sprites; however, this is dependent on the game the Pokémon is in, rather than the game in which it was caught. In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, Arbok's abilities vary depending on its pattern.

It's really a shame that he was deleted. We have much more minor characters covered in articles. And this one was pretty interesting. Also, what if he appears in the manga/anime? --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 07:30, 13 August 2011 (UTC)

SnorlaxMonster, if a character has an '''important''' role in a canon (such as Adventures) but doesn't appear in the games, neither was given a name, can an article be made for he/she? I think it would be accepted, based on these two: [[Trainer (EP248)]]; [[Arnold's mother]].

Are you saying that Sneasel and Chimchar can only have Assist as an egg move in HGSS, and not DPPt? [[User:LimeGreenCharizard|LimeGreenCharizard]] 04:24, 14 August 2011 (UTC)
:Yes. Sneasal and Chimchar will not know Assist if the father does in DPPt, but will in HGSS. Also, we only include Pokémon that learn it via level up and can be a father, so Delcatty should not be listed since it does not learn it, only Skitty does. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 04:35, 14 August 2011 (UTC)
::Fine, but the reason for the confusion was because of the fact that it was messed up in the first place. And I fixed it. Also, if we're only supposed to list Pokémon by level up, then why is it that on multiple Pokémon pages that I have looked at, under their specific breeding info, this isn't true? Example:Jolteon is listed under Sneasel's page as being able to pass on Bite. [[User:LimeGreenCharizard|LimeGreenCharizard]] 04:44, 14 August 2011 (UTC)
:::Yeah, that's the way it is supposed to be, but unfortunately a lot of Pokémon pages use a different standard to the move pages. They should all use that standard, where only Pokémon that can father the Pokémon and learn it via level up should be listed. If it can only be passed on by chain breeding or Pokémon which learned it in a previous generation, they should be listed, and that fact should be noted. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 04:49, 14 August 2011 (UTC)

== Questions ==

Hi SnorlaxMonster!

I have a few questions. Remember when you replied to me on [[User talk:PsychicRider|PsychicRider's talk page]] about the template for the regions. I asked you if it was okay to move Orre, but I'm not sure if you saw it.

My next question is about the Pokémon released by date. I have created one for [[User:Han Ji-Wan/Pokémon by release date (Generation IV)|Generation IV]]. I just want to know if a Pokémon was revealed at a gaming conference (like Kecleon at the PokeFesta event), is that considered an official reveal or leaked? I have a few more questions about other Pokemon's reveal, but can't remember, so I will ask you again once I do.

Also, how do we get all 3 pages (3rd, 4th, and 5th generations) mainspaced? It would probably be better if we combined all three generations into one article, but I want to hear your input. [[User:Han Ji-Wan|Han Ji-Wan]] 02:16, 17 August 2011 (UTC)
:Sorry for the delay in my reply; I saw it yesterday, then Bulbapedia was down (even checked with [http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/ this]) when I tried to reply.
:Anyway, I think the Main/Side/Spin-off needs to happen. After that quote from Masuda, nobody disagreed, but nobody has actually bothered to do much about it. For it to actually happen, we need to work on getting [[version]] moved to [[main series]], and the creation of a separate [[side series]] page. Anyway, after I left that message on your talk page, psy talked to me about it, and his main problem was the format rather than the intent.
:For my Gen V one, I was pretty much going by what Bulbapedia/news did. I would say that if it revealed officially like Zoroark was, appears with a name and art (even in a leaked magazine scan), appears in the anime, or by the game they are in being released, with them available without glitches or cheating. I don't really know the circumstances of PokéFesta. Was it revealed by people playing a demo version, or was it announced there?
:I never really intended for the pages to be separate. Go ahead and add your data if you want, but keep them in separate sections. Also, I would prefer having links on the dates, even if it means linking to Serebii. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 08:57, 18 August 2011 (UTC)

:Must have forgotten to put why in my edit summary. The reason I haven't said anything about it is that there are countless tasks I want to/should do, but I don't have the time to do them all. Anyway, I don't think they have ever had an official name, and it should conform with the other articles by being a "spin tile".

== Pokémon Reference ==

Hey I noticed the Pokémon reference page and I came across a show that possibly has a reference in it. It's in a show called MXC, known in Japan as Takeshi's Castle, and in certain episodes there is a game on there called Sperm Wheelers. They ride a bicycle that has a whale prop attached to it, that's why it's called that. The colors were blue, pink, and green. The blue one looks like {{p|Wailord}} and the pink one looks like its [[Shiny]] form. Do you think this is notable? I might be able to find pictures for proof. [[User:Pokedex493|Pokedex493]] 06:43, 3 September 2011 (UTC)
:I haven't heard of that show before, and I couldn't find any images of whales from it with a quick Google search. If you could get me an image, I could make a better judgement, but it sounds to me like it just slightly resembles a Wailord. If there was a green one as well, I think it was just a coincidence. However, I have not seen an image fo the whales, so I cannot makee an accurate judgement. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 11:55, 4 September 2011 (UTC)
::I was wrong. Last night I learned that the original version of the show was made in the 80's. Though it was a good theory, I was still wrong. [[User:Pokedex493|Pokedex493]] 20:16, 4 September 2011 (UTC)

== Reshiram's Tail==

Yea I thought it was a jet engine because i read that it expells fire through it in order to propel it forward, like a jet engine. Also it appears to be a jet engine because it is conical in shape and the part sticking out of it resembles jet exhaust. I guess it is based on an electric turbine but functions like a jet engine.

I see you've taken {{m|Submission}} out of [[Ash's Charizard]]'s move template, but I think you shouldn't have done that: I've seen the Japanese version, and the command for Submission (the actual move) is also in there. Besides, I think what Ash said was "aerial Submission", not "Aerial Submission." --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] 13:07, 2 July 2011 (UTC)

:If I may butt in, I was thinking of raising the issue myself, having watched the episode today. Personally, I think that SnorlaxMonster has done the right thing, there is nothing to suggest that, like Counter attack/counterattack, Ash wasn't just telling Charizard to force a submission on Magmar.

== Route 5 ==

I'm guessing you're the admin who closed the edit war over route 5, and it turned out in my favor, which isn't really my personal favor as much as it is common sense. The Liepards are never generated before the battle ensues, and any combination of Pokemon (species and gender) on that route can occur, so I have no clue why the person kept reverting it back to the "mated Liepards"

Long story short, thanks for ending the edit war.
(Is this even where I'm suppose to post this sort of thing?) {{unsigned|Johto-Master}}
:You are correct, it was me. I don't really understand why it would be that way either. Just note that in future, it is better to discuss the edit on the other user's talk page or the talk page of the article, or simply contact an admin to resolve the conflict. Edit warring like you did is not permitted, even with good intentions. To answer your final question, here is probably the best place to put that sort of thing. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 12:52, 4 July 2011 (UTC)

As i told Cold, Confusion doesn't have the same effect and PP as Psychic, but still is considered the weaker version of the move.

== About splitting the Battle Frontier articles... ==

What??? Don't tell me that you'd prefer to have a bunch of stubs instead of two very organized, high quality articles. Besides, ''this was already discussed before'':
[http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Talk:Battle_Frontier_%28Generation_IV%29/Sinnoh#Seperate_articles]
[http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Talk:Battle_Frontier_%28Generation_IV%29/Featured_article_candidate#Other_comments]
I believe that it's ridiculous to turn two ''featured articles'' into lists of links to short stubs about the facilities.--[[User:Tempest370|Tempest370]] 18:36, 1 August 2011 (UTC)
:Stubs? You must be joking. Those articles are huge. Each section is big enough for its own article. Plus, if we did, it would make it a lot easier to add the anime and manga sections to both the individual facilities and the overall frontier. It's consistent with what we usually do as well; for example: [[Department Store]]s, [[Game Corner]]s, [[Trainer House]], [[Passerby Analytics HQ]], [[Big Stadium and Small Court]], [[Battle Subway]]—all of which are articles about facilities (not necessarily battle facilities) in other locations which are too important to be a part of their location's article.
:If we were to split them, the Gen III Battle Frontier's Battle Tower would be merged with [[Battle Tower (Hoenn)]], and the Gen IV one with [[Battle Tower (Sinnoh)]] (not [[Battle Tower (Johto)]] though, because these are being done by Generation). The [[List of wild Pokémon in the Battle Pyramid]] would become part of the Battle Pyramid article. I agree that the Battle Palace has a very short section at the moment, and in its current state it would be a stub, but there is plenty of information that ''can'' be added to it.
:Also, there is plenty of non-facility content on the Frontier pages. If they can't hold up a featured article without the facilities crammed in there, then they shouldn't be featured anyway. They look like 5/7 articles forced onto one page.
:The fact is that the more pages which should be separate which you cram into one, the information is omitted due to the size of the page. They were "discussed" over two years ago—we are looking at more complete, information-packed pages than before. Also, I don't consider "Should we do this?" "Nah." to be a discussion. If it had really been discussed, those sections would actually have more than two comments. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 08:27, 2 August 2011 (UTC)

== Questions about a Gen II Glitch ==

I found out about '''[http://www.glitcher.net/shiny-pokemon-glitch1106.htm this] glitch''' which occurs in the Japanese versions of Gold and Silver, and I noticed that the 'Pedia doesn't have an article about it. I was going to write an article for it, but I got kinda confused about the whole thing; so I thought I would firstly ask to see if you or indeed anyone on the Project Glitchdex team know anything about this and might be able to offer some thoughts/advice on how to write an article on it.

Firstly, and very importantly: what would an article on this glitch be called? The link above refers to it as a 'Shiny Glitch'; however, it can occur without any [[Shiny Pokémon]] involved in it whatsoever ('creating' shiny Pokémon is just a popular use for the glitch). It wouldn't be a [[Pokémon cloning|'cloning glitch']], seeing as it doesn't create '''perfect copies''' of Pokémon data. I was thinking then of calling it a 'Bug Catching Contest glitch'; but I'm not sure if that seems right either?

Secondly, after performing the glitch I'm not sure of its **exact** effect. The Pokémon data created is of the same species as the Pokémon that was in second, but its name and stats are different to that Pokémon; and the new Pokémon data has the same moveset as the Pokémon that was in last position, and will be shiny if the Pokémon in last was shiny. Does that mean, then, that the new data inherits the [[individual values|IVs]] of the Pokémon that was last in the party?

Do you have knowledge of this glitch, and how an article on it might be written? (Or, if it is the case, if the article should '''not''' be written?) '''[[Special:Contributions/ShiningSteelix|***]][[User talk:ShiningSteelix|shiningSteelix***]]''' 19:03, 7 August 2011 (UTC)
:Thanks for mentioning this. I think [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e4D6wJGGqZA this video] is the same glitch (if it is not, then please let me know, but it is as far as I can tell). The user of that Youtube account, {{u|Chickasaurus}}, has videos on several glitches Bulbapedia does not yet document. I do intend to get around to writing them, but I tend to try to do too many things at once. Since this one was brought up though, I'll go write it now. Also, for simplicity's sake, I'm going to use Chickasaurus's name for it too. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 09:19, 8 August 2011 (UTC)

Hi. This glitch seems to have been around since years ago, but with a slightly erroneous description. There seem to be two copies of the glitch on that site; this is the right one [http://www.glitcher.net/turn-any-pok%C3%A9mon-into-gold-and-duplicate-items-japanese-version-only-glitch95.htm], albeit [http://www.glitcher.net/shiny-pokemon-glitch1106.htm the other slightly erroneous description] mentioned seems to be more widespread. I've seen the latter on really early websites predating 'glitcher.net', and it seems like it's been spread without people really checking it.

To clarify, the glitch only works in Japanese {{2v2|Gold|Silver}} because you can't {{m|Fly}} away from the [[Bug-Catching Contest]] in English versions, which is probably the cause for some of the confusion. Even though this is called a Shiny Pokémon glitch, what the glitch does is basically use a donor Pokémon (like the red Gyarados) and copies its properties to another Pokémon when you withdraw it at the Bug Catching Contest, meaning you could use it for anything really (e.g. to teach an [unstable] Pikachu Surf and Fly). Since you deposited your recipient Pokémon, this means you can also get your original back and keep the new hybrid Pokémon you receive. The glitch is an exploit of being able to escape the Bug-Catching Contest and tricking the game into thinking you're still in the contest, which is why if you walked back in after walking out, saying NO to come back in then Flying away the game would force you to walk down into the void when you walk back into the entrance as if you were trying to walk out from the north.

The trick is to deposit the donor last, perform the exploit, deposit a target Pokémon underneath it, save then return after a few minutes after the contest has finished. For some reason or another, the game lets you withdraw an unstable hybrid of the Pokémon above the Pokémon you last deposited. This glitch does not copy just DVs, but everything including the name, stats, moves, etc. It copies one byte of the species, but not the other so it's basically an unstable hybrid of the original Pokémon. If you deposit it into Day Care, it will revert back into the original Pokémon, so I believe the trick is to evolve it to stabilize the Pokémon (e.g. use a stone), however the glitch will work regardless of the Pokémon used provided that you're using the Japanese version. --[[User:Chickasaurus|Chickasaurus]] 12:29, 8 August 2011 (UTC)
: Thanks muchly for the clarifications on this glitch <=).
I went ahead and wrote the [[Bug-Catching Contest data copy glitch|article]] now, based on the discussion here and {{tt|my own knowledge of the glitch|I have translated copies of the Japanese versions of Gold and Silver myself}}; and I'm getting 'round to linking it to the other relevant glitch pages. But still, of course, feel to edit the article in any way needed; in particular, a possible explanation as to why the glitch occurs and maybe some images (if possible) may be helpful...

== Assist ==

Are you saying that Sneasel and Chimchar can only have Assist as an egg move in HGSS, and not DPPt? [[User:LimeGreenCharizard|LimeGreenCharizard]] 04:24, 14 August 2011 (UTC)
:Yes. Sneasal and Chimchar will not know Assist if the father does in DPPt, but will in HGSS. Also, we only include Pokémon that learn it via level up and can be a father, so Delcatty should not be listed since it does not learn it, only Skitty does. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 04:35, 14 August 2011 (UTC)
::Fine, but the reason for the confusion was because of the fact that it was messed up in the first place. And I fixed it. Also, if we're only supposed to list Pokémon by level up, then why is it that on multiple Pokémon pages that I have looked at, under their specific breeding info, this isn't true? Example:Jolteon is listed under Sneasel's page as being able to pass on Bite. [[User:LimeGreenCharizard|LimeGreenCharizard]] 04:44, 14 August 2011 (UTC)
:::Yeah, that's the way it is supposed to be, but unfortunately a lot of Pokémon pages use a different standard to the move pages. They should all use that standard, where only Pokémon that can father the Pokémon and learn it via level up should be listed. If it can only be passed on by chain breeding or Pokémon which learned it in a previous generation, they should be listed, and that fact should be noted. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 04:49, 14 August 2011 (UTC)

== Questions ==

Hi SnorlaxMonster!

I have a few questions. Remember when you replied to me on [[User talk:PsychicRider|PsychicRider's talk page]] about the template for the regions. I asked you if it was okay to move Orre, but I'm not sure if you saw it.

My next question is about the Pokémon released by date. I have created one for [[User:Han Ji-Wan/Pokémon by release date (Generation IV)|Generation IV]]. I just want to know if a Pokémon was revealed at a gaming conference (like Kecleon at the PokeFesta event), is that considered an official reveal or leaked? I have a few more questions about other Pokemon's reveal, but can't remember, so I will ask you again once I do.

Also, how do we get all 3 pages (3rd, 4th, and 5th generations) mainspaced? It would probably be better if we combined all three generations into one article, but I want to hear your input. [[User:Han Ji-Wan|Han Ji-Wan]] 02:16, 17 August 2011 (UTC)
:Sorry for the delay in my reply; I saw it yesterday, then Bulbapedia was down (even checked with [http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/ this]) when I tried to reply.
:Anyway, I think the Main/Side/Spin-off needs to happen. After that quote from Masuda, nobody disagreed, but nobody has actually bothered to do much about it. For it to actually happen, we need to work on getting [[version]] moved to [[main series]], and the creation of a separate [[side series]] page. Anyway, after I left that message on your talk page, psy talked to me about it, and his main problem was the format rather than the intent.
:For my Gen V one, I was pretty much going by what Bulbapedia/news did. I would say that if it revealed officially like Zoroark was, appears with a name and art (even in a leaked magazine scan), appears in the anime, or by the game they are in being released, with them available without glitches or cheating. I don't really know the circumstances of PokéFesta. Was it revealed by people playing a demo version, or was it announced there?
:I never really intended for the pages to be separate. Go ahead and add your data if you want, but keep them in separate sections. Also, I would prefer having links on the dates, even if it means linking to Serebii. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 08:57, 18 August 2011 (UTC)

:Must have forgotten to put why in my edit summary. The reason I haven't said anything about it is that there are countless tasks I want to/should do, but I don't have the time to do them all. Anyway, I don't think they have ever had an official name, and it should conform with the other articles by being a "spin tile".

== Pokémon Reference ==

Hey I noticed the Pokémon reference page and I came across a show that possibly has a reference in it. It's in a show called MXC, known in Japan as Takeshi's Castle, and in certain episodes there is a game on there called Sperm Wheelers. They ride a bicycle that has a whale prop attached to it, that's why it's called that. The colors were blue, pink, and green. The blue one looks like {{p|Wailord}} and the pink one looks like its [[Shiny]] form. Do you think this is notable? I might be able to find pictures for proof. [[User:Pokedex493|Pokedex493]] 06:43, 3 September 2011 (UTC)
:I haven't heard of that show before, and I couldn't find any images of whales from it with a quick Google search. If you could get me an image, I could make a better judgement, but it sounds to me like it just slightly resembles a Wailord. If there was a green one as well, I think it was just a coincidence. However, I have not seen an image fo the whales, so I cannot makee an accurate judgement. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 11:55, 4 September 2011 (UTC)
::I was wrong. Last night I learned that the original version of the show was made in the 80's. Though it was a good theory, I was still wrong. [[User:Pokedex493|Pokedex493]] 20:16, 4 September 2011 (UTC)

== Reshiram's Tail==

Yea I thought it was a jet engine because i read that it expells fire through it in order to propel it forward, like a jet engine. Also it appears to be a jet engine because it is conical in shape and the part sticking out of it resembles jet exhaust. I guess it is based on an electric turbine but functions like a jet engine.

:::::Yes, the artist, Seyanni, did get several details wrong from what we now know about the features of Arceus. First of all, the face has two lines running across it, not just one. There are grey triangles on the inside of each of its legs, and the red parts of its eyes have black slits, like Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina. In addition, the wheel is more pointed and the green circles he/she drew are actually gems. So, really, like I've said before, this fanart is far from accurate, but now there's really no need to replace it (though I've given the site several months to use my own artwork (http://xous54.deviantart.com/art/Arceus-Final-106548360), which is, of course, more accurate) when Arceus is set to be revealed on the 15th (with a leak anywhere from the 12th to the 14th).

== ???-type Explanation Doesn't Make Sense ==

One of our members brought up a good point about the explanation (in this article) about why Nintendo put the ??? Arceus in the game. We think that it was put in because Nintendo's code for Multitype required a sprite to be filled for every single type. This is our best guess, and I certainly think it's more plausible than "preventing game crashes for hackers." Hackers can crash the game quite easily otherwise - why would they prevent it in one way when we can do it in a thousand other ways? Remember, Nintendo doesn't care for or even acknowledge hackers. -[[User:Coolbho3000|Coolbho3000]] 00:33, 10 January 2009 (UTC)
:Following that logic, why put a vestigial Safari Zone in GSC? Why make it harder to access MissingNo in Yellow and impossible in FrLg? Like it or not, Nintendo has put many things in for the purpose of preventing crashes. [[User:Kiryu|Kiryu]] 04:59, 20 January 2009 (UTC)
::The Safari Zone in G/S/C was there because it was originally supposed to be in there, but they decided later not to include it. And Missingno. was excluded from later games because it was a glitch that was accessible without cheats. They took it out for the same reason that they hire game testers: they want their games to be as glitch-free as possible. And it did cause crashes, but it could be accessed without cheats, unlike the ???-type Arceus. I agree with Coolbho.--[[User:Celebi96|Celebi96]] 13:51, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

As a point in the trivia I think it should be mentioned that Arceus is the only trio master (as of yet and i suspect always will be) not catchable by typical in-game mechanics instead needing to obtain an item solely distributed by a Nintendo event.

== Explorers of Sky ==

I have tried, but I can't get rid of the part on the [[template:Sidegame|Sidegame]] template that includes Explorers of Sky. It wasn't in the Game, so does anyone know how to get rid of this? It's a little misleading. Thanks, [[User:Samjohn95|Sam]][[User talk:Samjohn95|john]][[Special:contributions/Samjohn95|95]] 23:03, 4 August 2010 (UTC)

== Name origin ==

About the name origin. For me, the most simple theory is not so clearly mentioned in the current name origin section. My theory is: Arceus is just a transcription of "archeos" from latin (meaning archaich). This was confirmed with the newest trailers that pronounce "Arceus" exactly like "archeos" is pronounced. It is the most direct and simple someone can think of, it's more or less the same process used for other Pokémon name such as Luvdisc, since "luv" has the same pronountiation as "love".

== izanagi and izanami ==

If Japan and Gods is created, it seems to be worth describing to trivia. [[User:Sawamular101|Sawamular101]] 12:37, 9 August 2010 (UTC)

My remark on the page of the edit became interrupted. Arceus lives in the interior of Spear Pillar. There are a spear and a point of contact of the creation of the Shintoism myth. [[User:Sawamular101|Sawamular101]] 07:27, 18 August 2010 (UTC)
:But would that not mean that Arceus would have to be two, and not one? I think Dialga and Palkia, both met at Spear Pillar itself, better represent the two, with Giratina representing what happened to Izanami after Kagu-tsuchi burned her. Arceus created the universe... Dialga and Palkia were the ones who created Spear Pillar, and from it, Sinnoh. Arceus is above them. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 07:49, 19 August 2010 (UTC)

::Thank you for correcting my English.
::It is said that it is izanami and izanagi that it gave birth to the gods for the first time by the myth of Shintoism. Kunitokotachi and Amenominakanushi doesn't make the gods though Kunitokotachi and Amenominakanushi is the first god. There are izanami(izanagi) and a lacking part because neither Dialga nor Palkia make "Legend pokeomn". It is guessed that the ability of izanagi and izanami that creates the gods is equipped in Arceus.

== Colour Changing Articles ==

I know but it seems kind of pointless, when I fist read the article I thought you'd made a mistake calling it a Dragon-type and when I scrolled down I thought you'd lost your marbles when you were indicating pokeathlon stats for its Bug forme specifically. The Pokedex on the games treats it as a Normal-type. We don't have different coloured articles for Kecleon or Castform and they don't need to be holding special items to change forme. I think leaving it as Normal-type is most convenient and less confusing, also we have articles displaying what TMs and HMs it can learn as different types so why bother with all this. [[User:Lucky V4.0|Lucky V4.0]] 14:27, 5 September 2010 (UTC)
:Its probably because Arceus has different Performance stats for its forms, its attack has different type for plate held, and because its sprite changes too. Too just list it all would make the page too long if it weren't hidden. [[User:Turtwig A|Turtwig's]] [[Turtwig (Pokémon)|A-B-Cs]] ([[User talk:Turtwig A|talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/Turtwig A|contribs]]) 14:32, 5 September 2010 (UTC)
::I'm not suggesting have everything listed for all types. However it would be easier to select which type you want instead of it being random each time. [[User:Lucky V4.0|Lucky V4.0]] 15:22, 5 September 2010 (UTC)
:::I know. But I'm pretty sure with {{bp|wikicode}} you can't do that, unless each type had their own page. At least with the random function you have a 1/17 chance of getting the one you want. If not, then just use the show/hide function. The only difference would be the template colors.

== Type Change ==

I've ranted on this subject time and time again but isn't it misleading for someone to come across this article and for it to say that Arceus is a Ghost or Ice type (or whatever type that shows up) when Arceus is Normal-type but changes due to an item. This is no different than making Kecleon's page change types randomly because of Color Change, except for what color Arceus changes to, or listing every Pokémon with the chance of having the ability Mummy since any Pokémon except for Arceus and Shedinja can have the Mummy ability. I believe that Arceus needs to be listed as a Normal type as it naturally is when no items are held, just like how Kecleon is when it hasn't been hit by a foe's move or how a Marill is before being hit by a foe with the ability mummy. Does anyone else agree? --[[User:Landfish7|'''Land''']][[User talk:Landfish7|'''fish7''']]''' 21:37, 29 December 2010 (UTC)
:How is it misleading? The intro sentence of this artticle clearly states: "Arceus (Japanese: アルセウス Arceus) is a Normal-type legendary Pokémon. However, its type will change when it is holding one of sixteen items known as plates and can in reality be any type. " —♥ [[User:Jello|Jello]][[User Talk:Jello|talk]] 21:42, 29 December 2010 (UTC)
::Yeah, exactly it says it's a Normal-type (Because naturally it is) while the templates might say it's a Poison-type when this isn't always the case, yeah so it's not always Normal-type either but may I remind you of Kecleon? Or maybe we can say that its type "varies", but I'd rather leave the templates as if it's a Normal-type. --[[User:Landfish7|'''Land''']][[User talk:Landfish7|'''fish7''']]''' 22:15, 29 December 2010 (UTC)
:::What's the big deal? The Kecleon example you are using... the type is not permanent after battle, hence why Porygon nor Pokémon with Camouflage is on here as well. Kecleon and Porygon... they were Normal-type prior to battle, and they are still Normal-type after battle. The difference is that Arceus's type is permanent from before battle and after battle. [[User:Ht14|'''''ht''''']][[User talk:Ht14|''14'']] 22:18, 29 December 2010 (UTC)
::::Yeah, but it isn't a natural Water or Grass-type, it is a Water or Grass type only when holding their respective plates, but naturally, without the use of an item, Arceus is a Normal-type, if they came up with an item called Aqua Sponge that turned Water-types into Normal-types we wouldn't make every Water-type Pokémon's page rotate from Normal to Water, of course I know the difference is that would be affecting a lot more pages but I still think it's misleading and somewhat confusing with the Forme rotation. --[[User:Landfish7|'''Land''']][[User talk:Landfish7|'''fish7''']]''' 01:14, 30 December 2010 (UTC)

I find this type confusion that you guys are creating a great annoyance, and plain out stupid. Let's just say that someone was researching Arceus, and used Bulbapedia. The whole template is colored, yellow with the type and image indicating that it's an electric type. It just doesn't make any sense why you don't just state that he is capable of type change, while leaving the template in his default form? --[[User:Christopher Costello|Christopher Costello]] 19:24, 30 April 2011 (UTC)
:Because if you took the time to read the first few lines of the article you can see it clearly states that it can change forms.

==Contradiction?==
The trivia section says this: "Arceus's signature move, Judgment, is the only move that Arceus is guaranteed STAB for, as it is always the same type as Arceus itself. '''However, on the battle screen, Judgment is always displayed as a Normal-type attack.'''" With the rotating type change, Judgement also changes in the moveset. I don't mind the templates changing on the page - I think it's kind of cool - but can Judgement be changed to always be Normal? [[User:Ikarishipper900|Ikarishipper900]] 02:33, 9 June 2011 (UTC)

== Connection with the bible? ==

Hey guys, I was just looking at a picture of Arceus and it occured to me how similar Arceus is to the 'wheel' mentioned in the bible (Ezekiel).

The wheel supposedly came from the heavens or space;

Ezekial 1:5 - "and in the fire was what looked like four living creatures" (Dialga, Palkia, Giratina, Arceus?)
Ezekial 1:7 - "Their legs were straight; their feet were like those of a calf and gleamed like burnished bronze" (Could refer to Dialga and Arceus, Dialga being steel (burnished bronze))
Ezekial 1:16-21 - "This was the appearance and structure of the wheels: They sparkled like chrysolite, and all four looked alike. Each appeared to be made like a wheel intersecting a wheel", "the wheels did not turn about as the creatures went. Their rims were high and awesome, and all four rims were full of eyes all around" (Arceus' wheel, at least to me, seems metallic, and the intersection could suggest Arcues inside the wheel. And, there are 4 jewels 'eyes' on the wheel.)

The creatures also have 'wings', which would be similar except for the case of Arceus

Anyone reckon this part of the bible was considered in Arceus' creation?

== "Arms" ==

I eas just watching the Movie and I think the "arms" Arceus is supposed to have are not made of matter, but energy. This could explain why the dex sayes it has arms but you don't see them. [[User:Truthseeker4449|Truthseeker4449]] 01:16, 26 July 2011 (UTC)

I have to concur with Truthseeker4449 that the "arms" might be not of matter but of energy. Another possibility is that the "1000 arms" is just a metaphor to signify how mythical Arceus is. [[User:Arceustheomnipotent|Arceustheomnipotent]] 05:04, 4 September 2011 (UTC)

'''Reshiram''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''レシラム''' ''Reshiram'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dragon|Fire}} [[legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation V]].

It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.

Reshiram is the version mascot of [[Pokémon Black and White Versions|Pokémon Black]], appearing on the boxart. It is also the first of the [[Tao trio]], which exists in the legends of the [[Unova]] region.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Reshiram is a white-colored, bipedal Pokémon of seemingly draconian and mammalian basis, with some of the avian features of feathers. Reshiram's snout is mammalian in appearance, most resembling something vulpine or even canine, or possibly even a goat. Streaming out from the upper side of the snout and outward from the head is a long, voluminous wispy mane, the top of which forms a spike or small head-crest of some sort. Reshiram's face is fringed with spiky features, with one small, pointed extension of it below the chin.

Reshiram's neck is long and slender, with a collar-esque protrusion of fur or feathers seeming held in place by two somewhat glass-like neck-bands, with similar bands present on the "wrists" of Reshiram's forelimbs. Reshiram's forelimbs are expansive, wing-like appendages or some unusual sort of wings themselves; the beginning portions of the limbs are slender and generally conventionally arm-like, but flare out into a more wing-like, feathered section farther on the limb, sporting four claws on the leading edge. On Reshiram's chest is a feathered feature most similar in shape to a [[Silver Wing]], with the lower portion protruding outward to a point. Long feathers spread out from Reshiram's thighs, its feet with large claws—three in front, and the one in the back positioned at an angle somewhat like high heels. Reshiram's tail is a thick mass of a center-most plume and ribbon-like secondary extensions, surrounded by two large bands. This tail is based on a jet engine.
====Gender differences====
Reshiram is a genderless species.

===Special abilities===
Reshiram has a jet engine-like tail used to accelerate itself when flying in high speeds. It can also store huge amounts of heat energy and unleash it in one blast, which can incinerate nearly everything. Reshiram is the only Pokémon that can learn {{m|Fusion Flare}} and {{m|Blue Flare}}, though {{p|Victini}} can learn the former if it's from an event.

===Behavior===
In a Unova myth about the twin heroes, as Reshiram sided with the older brother who sought truth, it firmly believes in truth.

==Trivia==
[[File:Reshiram and Zekrom units 2010.png|250x|thumb|Reshiram and Zekrom at Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in 2010]]
* Reshiram was first revealed simultaneously alongside {{p|Zekrom}} on both the official English and Japanese Pokémon websites on May 28, 2010. This makes them the two the first Pokémon simultaneously revealed worldwide.
* No other Pokémon has the same [[Elemental type|type]] [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|combination]] as Reshiram.
** Due to being a {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon as well, Reshiram is the only {{type|Fire}} Pokémon that is not weak to {{t|Water}}.
* Reshiram has the highest {{stat|Special Attack}} of all {{type|Fire}} Pokémon. Tied with {{p|Ho-Oh}}, Reshiram has the highest base stat total of all {{type|Fire}} Pokémon. Tied with {{p|Rayquaza}}, {{p|Palkia}}, {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Giratina}} and {{p|Zekrom}}, it has the highest base stat total of all {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon. Tied with {{p|Rayquaza}}, {{p|Palkia}}, and {{p|Dialga}}, it has the highest Special Attack of all Dragon-type Pokémon.
* Reshiram is required to be caught in [[Pokémon Black and White Versions|Pokémon Black]] in order to progress on the story and battle [[N]]. [[Escape|Running away]] from it or defeating it will appear as if nothing happened; also, defeating it does not give any [[experience]] points. It and {{p|Zekrom}} are the only legendary Pokémon in the [[main series]] games that are required to be caught to progress the story. However, it does not have to be caught if the player has a full [[party]] and [[PC]]. Instead, it will later appear at [[Dragonspiral Tower]].
* Due to its ability, no combination of types and abilities is resistant to both types of Reshiram's [[Same-type attack bonus|STAB]] attacks.
* Reshiram, as well as {{p|Zekrom}}, made an appearance along side {{p|Pikachu}} and a [[Poké Ball]] in 2010's {{wp|Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade}}.
* Reshiram and its counterpart, {{p|Zekrom}}, are the only [[version mascot]]s to have more than one [[signature move]].

===Origin===
Reshiram and its counterpart {{p|Zekrom}} are based on the concept of {{wp|yin and yang}} in {{wp|Taoism}}, directly referenced by Reshiram's Japanese species: the White Yang Pokémon. According to [[Ken Sugimori]], Reshiram has a light, airy, ladylike design to contrast to Zekrom's tough and manly look. Its tail, the center point of its design, is based on a jet engine. ref>[http://pokemonblackandwhite.net/?p=1641 Interview with Ken Sugimori and development team]</ref> Appearance wise, it resembles a mix of animals, including a bird, a {{wp|canid}} such as a fox or a wolf, a {{wp|pterosaur}}, and a {{wp|Wyvern}}. The crest on its head and its feathers resemble smoke trails as well as white fire, which can burn up to temperatures of 1,500 °C (2,730 °F). The mythology about how Zekrom and Reshiram came about, regarding two brothers infighting, also bears some similarities to {{wp|Romulus and Remus}} or {{wp|Cain and Abel}}.

====Name origin====
In an interview with the [[Official Nintendo Magazine]] UK (Issue 65), [[Ken Sugimori]] said that the "shira" in Reshiram's name was from the Japanese word for white, 白 ''shiro'', and the "Re" was used because it was a softer sound than Zekrom's "Ze", as Reshiram is a less physically powerful character.

'''Reshiram''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''レシラム''' ''Reshiram'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dragon|Fire}} [[legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation V]].

It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.

Reshiram is the version mascot of [[Pokémon Black and White Versions|Pokémon Black]], appearing on the boxart. It is also the first of the [[Tao trio]], which exists in the legends of the [[Unova]] region.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Reshiram is a white-colored, bipedal Pokémon of seemingly draconian and mammalian basis, with some of the avian features of feathers. Reshiram's snout is mammalian in appearance, most resembling something vulpine or even canine, or possibly even a goat. Streaming out from the upper side of the snout and outward from the head is a long, voluminous wispy mane, the top of which forms a spike or small head-crest of some sort. Reshiram's face is fringed with spiky features, with one small, pointed extension of it below the chin.

Reshiram's neck is long and slender, with a collar-esque protrusion of fur or feathers seeming held in place by two somewhat glass-like neck-bands, with similar bands present on the "wrists" of Reshiram's forelimbs. Reshiram's forelimbs are expansive, wing-like appendages or some unusual sort of wings themselves; the beginning portions of the limbs are slender and generally conventionally arm-like, but flare out into a more wing-like, feathered section farther on the limb, sporting four claws on the leading edge. On Reshiram's chest is a feathered feature most similar in shape to a [[Silver Wing]], with the lower portion protruding outward to a point. Long feathers spread out from Reshiram's thighs, its feet with large claws—three in front, and the one in the back positioned at an angle somewhat like high heels. Reshiram's tail is a thick mass of a center-most plume and ribbon-like secondary extensions, surrounded by two large bands. This tail is based on a jet engine.
====Gender differences====
Reshiram is a genderless species.

===Special abilities===
Reshiram has a jet engine-like tail used to accelerate itself when flying in high speeds. It can also store huge amounts of heat energy and unleashes it in one blast and its fire can burn everything into nothing. Reshiram is the only Pokémon that can learn {{m|Fusion Flare}} and {{m|Blue Flare}}, though {{p|Victini}} can learn the former if it's from an event.

===Behavior===
In a Unova myth about the twin heroes, as Reshiram sided with the older brother who sought truth, it firmly believes in truth.
