::::Everything, its kind-of scattered in the first two so I suppose you could copy/paste. If that's no good, most of it was just redirect-avoiding (which I do believe is good).

::::::A lot of redirects to [[Forme differences]] are avoided (don't know if that's as important as I think it is), putting in 412 automatically inserts a little "Plant Cloak" (for Burmy), the TM one now allows for Rotom (complete with sprites and "Forme differences" links) and they both allow for Castform (links only, obviously). That's pretty much it I think.--[[User:MisterE13|Mister]][[User talk:MisterE13|'''E''']][[Special:Contributions/MisterE13|13]] 03:41, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

== Books ==

Hey Trom, should we start making articles about the Pokémon books? A couple I can name of the top of my head are: Pokémon pop quiz by Carli Entin, and Attack of the prehistoric Pokémon by Tracey West. Actually, could we just make it a project? I could put together a list before you decided if you want. Thanks Trom! -[[User:MasterKenobi|MasterKenobi]] 03:43, 2 July 2009 (UTC)
:Yeah, definitely go ahead with that. I wouldn't suggest a full-flown project just yet, but maybe we can organise something more formal once some work has actually been done. Tracey West doesn't even have an article yet, so that may be a good place to start. I've read a few of her novelizations (but don't own any), and recall a bibliography on the back. And of course, the internet may be a good resource as well. —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 07:36, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

OK, thanks Trom. I can probably get my hands on a couple of the books but will start out with just a list of to-do stuff. Thanks again, and get yourself some sleep! –[[User:MasterKenobi|MasterKenobi]] 16:36, 2 July 2009 (UTC)
:Trom, I made a [[User:MasterKenobi/Project Books/To-do list| To-do list]] and have quite a bit more to add. I think, that I could probably make a project out of this if I get an OK. Here is the first book article, [[Island of the Giant Pokémon (book)]] but, I think to make it look a bit better we could use a template that includes the title, book cover image, pages, publication date, ISBN # (This one I think isn't really needed), and publisher. For the series books though we could make it like the anime or the manga where it links to the book before it and after it. -[[User:MasterKenobi|MasterKenobi]] 19:22, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

== Quick question ==

Do you know how to link directly to a category on a userpage without it getting included and making it appear? I'm trying to extend list of (non talk) pages I've created on my userpage, but it won't show the category pages. --[[Gallade|'''エ''']][[User:Galladeon|'''ルレ''']][[User talk:Galladeon|'''イ''''''ド''']] 08:37, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

== A Question ==

Three things (not all questions). First, how do you use special characters in the search boxes? Second, one of the pictures on your userpage doesn't display. Third, if there is supposed to be a Haunter pic on this page its not working and just says purplehaunter.png or something like that.--[[User:Swampert rox|Swampert rox]] 16:39, 3 July 2009 (UTC)
:The images are your problem, not mine. They all display for me. Try clearing your browser cache (Ctrl+F5). If, by special characters you mean the e-acute (é) you can either copy-paste from somewhere else, or you can type Alt+130. These can all be found in the character map for Windows. If you're on a Mac, I can't help you with that. There's probably a list on the internet of every special character ever created and the accompanying codes. —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 02:49, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
::For Mac: The é is option-e-e. I use it all the time. Other symbols can be gotten by other option- combinations. All the letter keys plus have special chars. --[[Gallade|'''エ''']][[User:Galladeon|'''ルレ''']][[User talk:Galladeon|'''イ''''''ド''']] 03:03, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
:::If you mean Alt + 1 + 3 + 0, it doesn't work. If that's not what you meant, what do I type?--[[User:Swampert rox|Swampert rox]] 21:19, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
::::I think he means to hold the Alt key and type 130 in that order, not all at once. I've never tried that method, though. --[[Gallade|'''エ''']][[User:Galladeon|'''ルレ''']][[User talk:Galladeon|'''イ''''''ド''']] 21:22, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
:::::Doesn't work (or do anything whatsoever).--[[User:Swampert rox|Swampert rox]] 14:58, 5 July 2009 (UTC)
::::::Then something's up with your computer. I'd love to fix it, but... um.... yeah..... —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 05:18, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
:::::::Alt+0233 can be used as an alternative for the e-acute. '''~ [[User:Sol|sol]][[User talk:Sol|ar]][[Special:Contributions/Sol|is]]''' 05:20, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
::::::::You have to use the numberpad to type the numbers, not the row at the top of the keyboard. If you are using a laptop which doesn't have a numberpad then you can buy a usb one quite cheaply, or just cope with the redirects that should have been created. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] 05:37, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
:::::::::Most laptops have an Fn key anyway, which activates keys differently. It's what I use: I gotta hold Fn and Alt and hit jlm. é. Happy daaaaay! '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 06:08, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

Did I apologize for my behavior. I had not realized that I could not make other changes. I do not speak English well and I find it difficult to understand at times. Sorry again for my ignorance. --[[User:Brendon|Brendon]] 8.35, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

== yukushi wisdom ==
Thanks for your help. Actually, since I don't edit much in Bulbapedia, I was considering canceling my account. That's why I was editing. I didn't realise that I was doing it in my fake name lol but anyways thaks for everything. {{SUBST:User:Uxie wisdom/sig}} 23:57, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

== Slight problem ==

Well, it's not really a problem but, Trombony, I might need an option of no image (in which cse we might wanna colspan it). See [[Cissy]] to get what I mean. Many thanks. --[[User:ElectAbuzzzz|'''electAbuzz''']][[User talk:ElectAbuzzzz|'''z''']][[Special:Contributions/ElectAbuzzzz|'''z''']] 00:23, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
:It shouldn't be too hard to get an image. I'll dig around, watch the episode and get good screenshots. —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 01:58, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
::Yes, of course we can get the image. But the template is gonna be in a much wider use, and we're gonna have a lot of similar cases... But yeah, it's not too bad, just leaves some whitespace. --[[User:ElectAbuzzzz|'''electAbuzz''']][[User talk:ElectAbuzzzz|'''z''']][[Special:Contributions/ElectAbuzzzz|'''z''']] 10:21, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
::Well I see that that's already fixed, but a few other things (sorry I'm being difficult, but I demand perfection :)), when you get the time: first, there's the subject of nicknamed Pokémon, like [[Ritchie]]'s. I don't want the image caption to read "Ritchie's Sparky", I want it to read "Sparky", and the same for the main article link.
::Second: Apparently I need the number of "="s on the section headers to be changeable. In most articles it should be the way you did it, but in some I need it to be one level lower.
::Last but not least - check what happens if someone clicks the "edit" link in one of the sections... Is that supposed to be like that? --[[User:ElectAbuzzzz|'''electAbuzz''']][[User talk:ElectAbuzzzz|'''z''']][[Special:Contributions/ElectAbuzzzz|'''z''']] 11:25, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
::: *clicks edit* woah! Yeah, not good. We can fix that with a NOEDITSECTION magicword. We can set the image to default as noimage; although imageneeded may be better than a white gap. I'll add an optional parameter such as {{{nick}}}, which should hopefully override the current hovercaption formatting. There can also be optional parameters for lower headings. Can you show me an example of where that would be in place? It won't help the construction of the template; I'm just curious. :P
:::You probably didn't understand a word of that. Probably because I made up most of the terminology. Lol. I doubt I'll catch you on AIM this weekend so I'll either work through it when I have time, or catch up with you later. —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 02:29, 24 July 2009 (UTC)
::::Yeah, the reason I'm writing to you here is because we keep missing each other on AIM lately, and I figured it's best to let you know... So, here we go:
::::# The way you just canceled the section headers is no good. The reason I wanted section headers is because [[Casey's Elekid]], [[Drew's Absol]], etc, redirect to that specific Pokémon in the template. Get it? So put back the sectionheaders with that nice magicword of yours, please.
::::# Seems like {{u|Sol}} took care of the image thing for now.
::::# The {{{nick}}} parameter sounds great. Do it.
::::# Lower heading would come in case that the character exists in more than one media, AND has Pokémon not on hand. Why? Because then the headings go: <nowiki>==In the anime==, ===Pokémon===, ====On hand====,</nowiki> and just THEN the Pokémon should be. {{Gary}} is the best example I can think of right now.
::::So you see Trombodude, you're underestimating my comprehension skills. I understand you kiwi wiki terminology just fine. --[[User:ElectAbuzzzz|'''electAbuzz''']][[User talk:ElectAbuzzzz|'''z''']][[Special:Contributions/ElectAbuzzzz|'''z''']] 12:27, 24 July 2009 (UTC)
:::::The problem with the magicword, I later realised, is that it will cancel all section headers for the entire page. I think I may have an idea for the headings, too. I'll experiment, and get back to you later in the week. —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 20:23, 26 July 2009 (UTC)

== HGSS ==

* Can you add something to the [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver|HGSS]] page saying something about the game containing both leafy trees and autumn trees? --[[User:swampert_rox|Swampert]] [[Swampert (Pokémon)|=]] [[User talk:Swampert_rox|awesome]] ([[User:PhoenixGraphix#{{ucfirst:Daily (bleh)}}|bl]][[Special:Random|eh]]) 19:28, 25 July 2009 (UTC)

== Redirects ==

Please be a bit more careful when trying to turn articles into redirects. I had to restore the article on [[Camerupt Point]] you had changed into a redirect because you made it redirect to Camerupt Point, hence causing an infinite redirect loop. --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 23:12, 26 July 2009 (UTC)
:Whoops; it was meant to go to [[Camerupt Mountain]]. Confuzzling :( —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 23:14, 26 July 2009 (UTC)

== Pokémon Black Market ==

If the article was full of speculation and all that, then slap a cleanup tag on it instead of deleting it! The Pokémon Black Market is a factual part of the Pokémon universe and thus is worthy of its own article. Could you restore it, please? [[User:Missingno. Master|Missingno. Master]] wants YOU! [[User:Missingno. Master/The Order of the Glitch/Bulbapedia Branch|Join the Order of the Glitch!]] [[User talk: Missingno. Master|(my talk page)]] 23:28, 26 July 2009 (UTC)
:They'd be nothing left if all the speculation was removed. All you'd have left to say would be "The Pokémon black market is a black market for Pokémon which was talked about in DPxyz." I don't consider that to be article-worthy. —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 23:29, 26 July 2009 (UTC)
::There's also the fact about Snorunt being worth top dollar on it. Besides, it's not like the speculation in question was baseless. If Glalie was worth as much as or more than Snorunt on the market, the hunter would've just sold his own Glalie, rather than going to the trouble of snatching Snorunt. If Carnivine, Yanmega, Pikachu, Chimchar, or Buneary were worth as much as or more than Snorunt, then the hunter would've tried to take them as well. If anything, that could be confined to a trivia section. Plus, there's [[Dustox Flower Field|much worse]] in the way of stubs. [[User:Missingno. Master|Missingno. Master]] wants YOU! [[User:Missingno. Master/The Order of the Glitch/Bulbapedia Branch|Join the Order of the Glitch!]] [[User talk: Missingno. Master|(my talk page)]] 23:36, 26 July 2009 (UTC)
:::I didn't say it wasn't baseless; in fact I think they are perfectly reasonable assumptions. However, they remain just that. Perhaps the hunter hadn't realised that he could have sold Glalie, or perhaps he was sentimentally attached to it, or perhaps he just got a thrill from stealing Pokémon. These things are as unknown as the conclusions you have jumped to. If the information about Snorunt isn't mentioned on {{p|Snorunt|this page}} I'd suggest putting them there.
:::And yes, there are millions of stubs out there, and we are doing our best to clean them up (hence "featured stub" on the main page). It'd be great if you could give us a hand. —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 23:40, 26 July 2009 (UTC)

== Idea ==

Since I'm not very good at coding, I thought I could give you an idea; the big list of moves on the [[List of moves|List of moves article]] could possibly be reconstructed on the [[Contest category| Contest category article]], but with only move name and contest type (without power, accuracy, fughting type, etc.) Do you think that is a good idea and would you be able to do that/find someone to do that?

:I've been working on compiling a list similar to the one near the bottom of, say {{t|Rock|this page}}, for contests. It's largely incomplete and in [[User:{{BASEPAGENAME}}/Hell|a sandbox]].

== Undoing my changes. ==

I was wondering why some Pokémon pages auto-forward, and some don't. Help?
--[[User:FromCrimsonToWool|FromCrimsonToWool]] 03:07, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
:We call it ''redirecting''. If a Pokémon exists in another media, typically the anime (e.g. [[Ash's Pikachu]]) or manga (e.g. [[Poochyena (CCP)]]), the page doesn't redirect and serves as a ''disambiguation''. This is done because if someone searches for, say, Bulbasaur, they may be looking for {{OP|Ash|Bulbasaur}}, {{OP|May|Bulbasaur}}, [[Saur|one from the manga]], or simply the {{p|Bulbasaur|species}}. Think of it as kind of a signpost. Not all Pokémon are special enough though (e.g. [[Paras]]), so they don't have the disambiguation page as searchers will clearly be looking for the article about the species. —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 03:13, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

Okay, so how, and thus where, do we all draw the line? Also, why not just include a link at the top of the pokémon page for something like that?--[[User:FromCrimsonToWool|FromCrimsonToWool]] 03:30, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
:Generally if a Trainer's Pokémon has an article, the Pokémon page gets disambiguated. This is our system, and this is how it's worked for a couple of years. There was a poll about this less than two years ago, when the users had the chance to vote about this. For [[Bulbapedia talk:Disambiguation poll|many reasons]], this is what we came up with. —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 03:38, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

Sensational Sisters

[[File:Sensational Sisters.jpg|thumb|250px|The Sensational Sisters]]

The '''Sensational Sisters''' are a group consisting of [[Misty]]'s three older sisters, {{ka|Lily}}, {{an|Daisy}} and [[Violet]]. When Misty left to become a {{type2|Water}} {{g|master}}, the sisters were put in charge of the [[Cerulean Gym]]. However, after {{Gary}} and the other two {{pkmn|Trainer}}s from [[Pallet Town]] defeated them one after the other, they decided to stop accepting {{pkmn|battle}}-challenges and instead perform water ballet shows for the residents of [[Cerulean City]].

==In the anime==

They first appeared in the episode ''[[EP007|The Water Flowers of Cerulean City]]''. When {{Ash}} came to the [[Cerulean Gym|Gym]] to earn his {{badge|Cascade}}, he, with his {{AP|Pikachu}} and [[Brock]], were surprised to find that instead of a {{pkmn|battle}}, a show was going on where the sisters were performing. At the end of the show, Ash found them out and asked them about the [[Gym Leader]]. They informed him that they were the Gym Leaders, but as their Pokémon were tired, they no longer battled. Daisy then offered to give away the Cascade Badge to Ash for nothing. Misty however appeared just then and challenged Ash to a battle to win the badge.

They were continuing to neglect the Gym duties when Misty stopped by to drop off her {{TP|Misty|Starmie}} and her {{TP|Misty|Horsea}} to play at the gym in ''[[EP061|The Misty Mermaid]]''. It is unknown for how long afterwards the sisters continued to do this.

In ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later!]]'', the sisters called Misty to tell her that they had won a trip around the world. They made Misty return to Cerulean City so she could take over the role of Gym Leader for them.

They returned to the gym two weeks before ''[[H011|A Date with Delcatty]]''. However, Misty is still the official Gym Leader, with the trio filling in when Misty is away. Despite this, they still don't like battling, and in ''[[AG134|A Real Cleffa-Hanger]]'', Daisy asked Misty if they could just give badges to the trainers instead of battling them. It was shown that they already did give away badges to Trainers, since {{ho|Jimmy}}'s only badge was the Cascade Badge, because he helped them clean the gym.

'''Long Live the Nidoking!''' (Japanese: '''VSニドキング''' ''VS. Nidoking'') is the twenty-first in the {{special|Red, Green & Blue chapter}} of the [[Pokémon Special]] manga.

==Synopsis==
{{spoilers}}
{{special|Red}} excitedly enters the {{ci|Fuschia}} {{ka|Safari Zone}}, where he encounters his two guides, Pidgebots 1 and 2. Under Safari Zone rules, he leaves his Pokémon for safekeeping and hops on board a raft which will take him through the Zone via aselection of waterways.

Red's excitement is short-lived, however, as the raft soon comes across two {{p|Nidoking}} in the middle of a raging battle over a {{p|Nidoqueen}}. The Pidgebots assure him, however, that he is totally safe, and while they are looking the other way, Red produces a [[Poké Ball]] he managed to sneak in with him and attempts to catch one of the Nidoking, but misses, instead accidentally capturing the Nidoqueen they were arguing over. This enrages the Nidoking and they smash the raft to pieces.

Some time later, Red wakes to find a furious Pidgebot berating him for breaking the rules, and informing him that they'll have no choice but to walk to the exit, since the Nidoking will probably be looking for him. In an attempt to keep him safe, it gives him a Safari Ball, which is the only Ball capable of capturing a Safari Zone Pokémon (besides the Nidoqueen which Red just caught, which the Pidgebot puts down to pure luck). Seconds later, a Nidoking appears and attacks once again. Red attempts to capture it with the Safari Ball, but the enraged Nidoking simply bats it away, forcing Red and the Pidgebot to take flight deeper into the Zone.

In desperation, Red grabs a rock and hurls it into the Nidoking's face, but once again succeeds only in making it even angrier. As the Nidoking attacks once again, injuring Red's leg, the Pidgebot is badly damaged in an attempt to defend him. He manages to briefly incapacitate the Nidoking by embedding a sharp rock in its head, and picks up the damaged Pidgebot, fleeing into the Zone. He expresses concern for the Pidgebot, which reminds him that it's just a robot, programmed to make sure that he reaches the exit safely, and he should be thinking more abot his own safety than that of a robotic guide. It also suggests they form a strategy, but even as it tries to warn him of the dangers lying deeper in the Zone, Red is swallowed by a {{p|Victreebel}}.

Some time later, Red wakes to find a furious Pidgebot berating him for breaking the rules, and informing him that they'll have no choice but to walk to the exit, since the Nidoking will probably be looking for him. In an attempt to keep him safe, it gives him a Safari Ball, which is the only Ball capable of capturing a Safari Zone Pokémon (besides the Nidoqueen which Red just caught, which the Pidgebot puts down to pure luck). Seconds later, a Nidoking appears and attacks once again. Red attempts to capture it with the Safari Ball, but the enraged Nidoking simply bats it away, forcing Red and the Pidgebot to take flight deeper into the Zone.

In desperation, Red grabs a rock and hurls it into the Nidoking's face, but once again succeeds only in making it even angrier. As the Nidoking attacks once again, injuring Red's leg, the Pidgebot is badly damaged in an attempt to defend him. He manages to briefly incapacitate the Nidoking by embedding a sharp rock in its head, and picks up the damaged Pidgebot, fleeing into the Zone. He expresses concern for the Pidgebot, which reminds him that it's just a robot, programmed to make sure that he reaches the exit safely, and he should be thinking more abot his own safety than that of a robotic guide. It also suggests they form a strategy, but even as it tries to warn him of the dangers lying deeper in the Zone, Red is swallowed by a {{p|Victreebel}}.

Some Bulbapedia members have formed a [[Bulbapedia:Project|project]] to better organize efforts to write and improve articles about '''characters in [[Pokémon games]]'''. If you would like to help, please inquire on the [[{{NAMESPACE}} talk:{{PAGENAME}}|talk page]] or the [http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/forumdisplay.php?f=195 Bulbapedia forum] and see the [[{{NAMESPACE}}:{{PAGENAME}}/To-do list]].

If you have any direct questions to the founder, please post them at [[User talk:PsychicRider|his talk page]].

==Project CharacterDex==
===Scope and aims===
Project CharacterDex aims to write and improve comprehensive on characters from games. Good articles include {{ga|Blue}} and {{ga|Red}}.

Project CharacterDex also aims to get as much info as possible on new characters. A good example would be [[Red (game)#In the Super Smash Bros. series|Pokémon Trainer from Super Smash Bros. Brawl]].

Project CharacterDex also aims to add unknown info about the characters and their Pokémon. This includes [[moves]] and [[abilities]]. A good example would be the addition of previously unknown abilities of the Pokémon in the [[Battleground]].

Last, but not least, Project CharacterDex aims to upload '''ALL''' sprites from the games.

===Goals===
This Project's goal is to cover every possible article that falls under the criteria of "game-exclusive characters" and to pick up as many helping members as possible along the way.

Sensational Sisters

Frank121: /* Trivia */

[[File:Sensational Sisters.jpg|thumb|250px|The Sensational Sisters]]

The '''Sensational Sisters''' are a group consisting of [[Misty]]'s three older sisters, {{ka|Lily}}, {{an|Daisy}} and [[Violet]]. When Misty left to become a {{type2|Water}} {{g|master}}, the sisters were put in charge of the [[Cerulean Gym]]. However, after {{Gary}} and the other two {{pkmn|Trainer}}s from [[Pallet Town]] defeated them one after the other, they decided to stop accepting {{pkmn|battle}}-challenges and instead perform water ballet shows for the residents of [[Cerulean City]].

==In the anime==

They first appeared in the episode ''[[EP007|The Water Flowers of Cerulean City]]''. When {{Ash}} came to the [[Cerulean Gym|Gym]] to earn his {{badge|Cascade}}, he, with his {{AP|Pikachu}} and [[Brock]], were surprised to find that instead of a {{pkmn|battle}}, a show was going on where the sisters were performing. At the end of the show, Ash found them out and asked them about the [[Gym Leader]]. They informed him that they were the Gym Leaders, but as their Pokémon were tired, they no longer battled. Daisy then offered to give away the Cascade Badge to Ash for nothing. Misty however appeared just then and challenged Ash to a battle to win the badge.

They were continuing to neglect the Gym duties when Misty stopped by to drop off her {{TP|Misty|Starmie}} and her {{TP|Misty|Horsea}} to play at the gym in ''[[EP061|The Misty Mermaid]]''. It is unknown for how long afterwards the sisters continued to do this.

In ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later!]]'', the sisters called Misty to tell her that they had won a trip around the world. They made Misty return to Cerulean City so she could take over the role of Gym Leader for them.

They returned to the gym two weeks before ''[[H011|A Date with Delcatty]]''. However, Misty is still the official Gym Leader, with the trio filling in when Misty is away. Despite this, they still don't like battling, and in ''[[AG134|A Real Cleffa-Hanger]]'', Daisy asked Misty if they could just give badges to the trainers instead of battling them. It was shown that they already did give away badges to Trainers, since {{ho|Jimmy}}'s only badge was the Cascade Badge, because he helped them clean the gym.

==Pokémon==
