<big><big>Attention: Before you post</big></big>

Since this has happened repeatedly, here is a list of Pokémon belonging to rivals/recurring in the anime that I wish you would not ask me about making them in your userspace. These Pokémon did have articles before but the {{bp|Editorial Board}} agreed upon them being merged into the Trainer's article. Here is the list:

* Gary's Nidoking
* Gary's Nidoqueen
* Drew's Flygon
* Drew's Masquerain
* Drew's Absol
* Drew's Butterfree
* Harley's Banette
* Harley's Ariados
* Harley's Octillery
* Harley's Wigglytuff
* Paul's Azumarill
* Paul's Stantler
* Paul's Weavile
* Paul's Gliscor
* Paul's Ninjask
* Paul's Drapion
* Zoey's Mismagius
* Nando's Sunflora
* Kenny's Alakazam
* Kenny's Breloom
* Casey's Elekid
* Happy - Ritchie's Butterfree
* Cruise - Ritchie's Pupitar
* Rose - Ritchie's Taillow

There are more than this, but most of the others were Gym Leader/Elite Four/Frontier Brain Pokémon and I have yet to be asked about recreating them.

If you would be so kind, try to avoid asking about these Pokémon. The main reason being the obvious one: they were already here and deemed unnotable. The second is about history preservation for the articles that were redirected and not deleted before then. If the decisions were to ever be overturned, the redirects that exist now can be reverted back to the way the were and history will be preserved. Moving a userspace article over the redirect will erase all the history from before. I recommend saving your work on an external program for use at a later time or write what ever information you have into the Trainer article itself. Thank you for understanding. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']]

== Cress's Panpour ==

I think that since we have an article for Chili's Pansear and Cilan's Pansage, we should have an article for Cress's Panpour in the anime. What do you think? [[User:Satoshi101|Satoshi101]] 22:14, 27 December 2011 (UTC)
: Cress's Panpour has appeared only in one episode. Please read [[Bulbapedia:Notability requirements/Anime Pokémon|this before making that page]]. -- ✔[[User:Poke.geek|'''Poké''']][[User talk:Poke.geek|'''.geek''']][[Special:Contributions/Poke.geek|™]]✔ 22:18, 27 December 2011 (UTC)

== Filb.de Images ==

Do we not mention Filb.de screenshots for the Original Series? Because the whole Original series pages ([[EP001]]-[[EP274]]) is missing those footnotes and I know for a fact that the website has them. (Because I've seen them). Thanks in advance.

:He has a point though. There should be a written documentation proving they exist. Voice actors are a good source but it was such a long time ago and there was never a quote given other than "voice actors said so". --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 03:34, 28 December 2011 (UTC)

== Carter Cathcart ==

I've noticed back in February you moved Carter Cathcart to Jimmy Zoppi. However, Jimmy Zoppi is not his real name. It's '''James Carter Cathcart'''. I don't know why you changed it, but I think it should be at either James Carter Cathcart or [[Carter Cathcart]]. Just like how Kayzie Rogers' article is not titled "Jamie Peacock." [[User:Satoshi101|サトシ]] 19:17, 30 December 2011 (UTC)
:First of all, I never moved Carter Cathcart to Jimmy Zoppi. All I did was redirect the name. The page was always Jimmy Zoppi and no one ever attempted to move it. Second, I didn't know that was his real name back then. People will voice there opinions on the move on the talk page and we'll see what happens. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 22:50, 30 December 2011 (UTC)

== [[EP081]] ==

Hey KG, we're having a small issue with EP081. A user is changing the page to say it is the first episode of the Orange Islands Saga while it's listed as the last episode of the Indigo League on all the other pages on here. Is he right or no? We've tried undoing him twice, but he just undos our edits and I don't feel like edit warring. Thanks! [[User:Pokemaster97|--Pokemaster]][[User talk:Pokemaster97|97]] 01:52, 31 December 2011 (UTC)
:I'm pretty sure the user is saying it is Season 2 because it is included on the Orange Islands DVD boxset. However, it really is a Season 1 episode. Season 1 theme, belongs to the Indigo arc, etc. But I agree a MOD intervention would be great. --[[User:HoennMaster|Hoenn]][[User talk:HoennMaster|Master]] 05:28, 31 December 2011 (UTC)

== ? ==

Umm I'm not sure if you're the person to ask about this and I'm also not sure if this is where I'm supposed to ask you, but I had a question. Is there an article that lists all the pronunciations for every Pokémon, because I haven't been able to find one and I wanted to make that article if it doesn't exist (assuming there's nothing wrong with that). I just wanted to make sure I didn't make the same article twice and it seems like something that would have been made by now. Thanks [[User:Frenchhorn|Frenchhorn]] 21:18, 31 December 2011 (UTC)
:We don't list pronunciations because there is no official agreement on pronunciations. All forms of media differ on some Pokemon, be it the characters or narrator of the anime, announcers in the games, or even Nintendo themselves in various publications. -- '''[[User:MAGNEDETH|MAG]][[Special:Contributions/MAGNEDETH|NE]][[User talk:MAGNEDETH|DETH]]''' 21:51, 31 December 2011 (UTC)

Hey, KG...I've been wondering. Since we have a "Differences between the films" on the M14 page, I had an idea. Why don't we add a gallery of pictures to show the differences between the films? It'd show the differences better... [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] 03:02, 3 January 2012 (UTC)

== [[Talk:Ursula's Gabite]] ==

Hi Kenji, I want to get your opinion on whether Ursula's Gabite is actually female or not. Though it has the appearance of a girl, I dont think any male Gabite have appeared in the anime, besides the Mystery Dungeon one, which had the appearance of a female. Since the anime (possibly) only uses the female's design, Ursula's Gabite could be of either gender, and I think it should be treated like any other Pokemon with gender differences until a male is seen, for example [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Dawn_%28anime%29&diff=next&oldid=1575291 Dodrio]. [[User:Vuvuzela2010|'''Vuvuzela2010''']][[Latios (Pokémon)| Δ ]] 17:24, 3 January 2012 (UTC)
:The difference between Gabite and Dodrio is that Gabite is a Generation IV Pokémon while Dodrio isn't. But I have to admit this is walking down a dangerous road of uncertainty with the whole Mystery Dungeon special. This would also have to mean dealing with other Pokémon who we label by their gender difference, not just Gabite. Shinx, Buizel, Bibarel, Garchomp, and Gible are just a few of them. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 08:58, 4 January 2012 (UTC)

::OK, now [[User:Satoshi101/Ursula's Plusle and Minun|it's]] ready. What do you think, Kenji? [[User:Satoshi101|サトシ]] 00:14, 5 January 2012 (UTC)
:::I really don't see this being mainspaced to be honest. All of this can fit perfectly on her page. They also didn't do that much. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 05:56, 5 January 2012 (UTC)
::::Well the thing is Plusle and Minun are her other main Pokémon. I think needing more than 2 episodes, a cameo in another episode, and a movie cameo (in the credits) is a lot to ask, considering the fact that unlike her other Pokémon (except Gabite) have only made major appearances in 1 episode, and never appearing after that. I don't see why they should be treated as Trainers-Pokémon-of-the-day. [[User:Satoshi101|サトシ]] 00:14, 6 January 2012 (UTC)
::::All Plusle and Minun did was scare Dawn and battled, nothing else. [[User:Pattyman|Patty]][[User talk:Pattyman|Man]] 00:22, 6 January 2012 (UTC)
:::::They were in a contest, though. And not to mention her Gabite just did contests, nothing else. [[User:Satoshi101|サトシ]] 00:31, 6 January 2012 (UTC)
::Why do you compare to Gabite? He is the primary of her, have nothing to discuss, PluMinus have did nothing after his debut appearance and to complete the article that you did is copy and paste this on the main page of Ursula.--[[User:Hikaru Wazana|Hikaru Wazana]] 01:35 - 6 January 2012 (UTC)
:::They did appear after their debut a few times. They even cameoed in the 14th movie credits. Who could ask for more? And I'm not the only one who suggested this, another user previously did. Sorry if I was too lazy to write a summary myself but I was hoping to use what I pasted there as a starting point. [[User:Satoshi101|サトシ]] 23:31, 6 January 2012 (UTC)
::::They appeared only in three episodes and aren't her signature Pokémon. A cameo in the movie credits is hardly a reason to give them an article. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 02:43, 7 January 2012 (UTC)\
:::::I never said they were her signature Pokémon. I said that after Gabite, they were her other main Pokémon. Neither did I say they should have an article because they cameoed in the 14th movie credits. It was because they were in 3 episodes, which is about the minimum amount a trainer's Pokémon deserves its own article. [[User:Satoshi101|サトシ]] 05:58, 8 January 2012 (UTC)
::::::"They even cameoed in the 14th movie credits. Who could ask for more?" - I'm sorry but that really sounds like you were implying that it is. Anyway, their first two appearances can basically count as one long episode. The other one was a minor cameo in the appeals round. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 23:49, 8 January 2012 (UTC)
::::::Then I guess it should stay on Ursula's page unless they make more appearances, which is very unlikely since both Ash and Dawn's adventures in Sinnoh have long been over. [[User:Satoshi101|サトシ]] 02:26, 9 January 2012 (UTC)

== Lavender Town Syndrome ==

Me again, so recently I've been busying myself reading Lavender Town Syndrome stories. I noticed we don't have an article about it. I think it is article-worthy. It has lots of fan-based media and is highly controversial. So again, if there is no trouble, I can make this article. {{unsigned|Frenchhorn}}
:It is not article-worthy. It was a made-up story some guy made to scare little kids. I am making a user article about it, but it won't be mainspaced anytime soon. [[User:Pokedex493|Pokedex493]] 01:21, 6 January 2012 (UTC)
::Okay, for some reason my signature screwed up. [[User:Pokedex493|Pokedex493]] 01:22, 6 January 2012 (UTC)
Sorry I think that was me. We have articles that come completely from fan based media, like nuzlocke challenge. If you type "lavender" (or just the letters "lave") into Google, Lavender Town Syndrome comes up before [[Lavender Town]] itself does. There are fan-fictions, Youtube videos, all kinds of media out there. Just because it isn't real doesn't mean that it can't have an article. [[User:Frenchhorn|Frenchhorn]] 02:09, 6 January 2012 (UTC)
I think I can make a legitimate article for it, we post popular rumors quite often. Like the rumor about the truck having a Mew under it in RGB and the rumor about the scientist in the space center in Mossdeep that will allow you to go to the moon and catch a Jirachi/Deoxys is Ruby/Sapphire and Emerald. If we can present that in an article, I can present Lavender town syndrome. I think it's fair enough to add a section about it to the Lavender Town page. [[User:Frenchhorn|Frenchhorn]] 00:35, 7 January 2012 (UTC)
:I'm the wrong person to talk about if fan based things are notable or not. All I know is I heard of Nuzlocke and the truck, but never heard of Lavender Town stories. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 02:43, 7 January 2012 (UTC)
::Personally, I think a section on the Lavender Town page would be good. An entire article is unnecessary, but it's certainly famous enough to deserve a section on Lavender Town. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 12:01, 7 January 2012 (UTC)

== Question/Suggestion ==

Hi. I've been editing several pages in the Pokémon anime section relating to the voice actors, etc, and I had a bit of a suggestion regarding to the voice actor "switch" (Oh! I'm so thankful that "controversy" is over). Anyway, since similar things have happened in other languages at different points in the series (such as European Portuguese with Season 10), and the VA is listed as simply: "VA A: EP001-DP139; VA B: DP140-Present", etc, I don't think it would be a bad idea for the same to be the case with the English since the episodes handled by TPCi is technically just a continuation of the 4Kids dub (making them different parts of the same "dub"), and that referring to each VA as being a part of different dubs would technically be incorrect (there's also the fact that technically PUSA/TPCi has been a part of the English dub from the beginning). At the very least I think referring to the specific VA's "cast" instead of "dub" would be more accurate, although it might still be a tad confusing for those unfamiliar with the cast switch (I know several dedicated Pokémon fans in real life who only noticed a couple characters' voices changing, and might be confused at the whole "4Kids dub/TPCi dub", "4Kids cast/TPCi cast" thing), and might get more information out of a more specific listing. What do you think? --[[User:HalloweenPistol13|HalloweenPistol13]] 08:09, 8 January 2012 (UTC)
:That's sounds like a good idea. If you start, just make sure that you know the correct episodes they start/stop in. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 23:49, 8 January 2012 (UTC)
:Alright. I'll get onto it! The only page I'll need assistance on is Ash Ketchum since only Admins are allowed to change it, but otherwise, I think I've got this under control. --[[User:HalloweenPistol13|HalloweenPistol13]] 03:39, 10 January 2012 (UTC)

== Officer Jenny's Hurdier ==

I think that since Hurdier will be Officer Jenny's main Pokémon in Unova, we should create an article for it. We know another one has appeared in [[BW052]], so that would be 2 (and counting) appearances. What do you think? [[User:Satoshi101|サトシ]] 19:41, 8 January 2012 (UTC)

I agree. There's articles on [[Officer Jenny's Growlithe]], [[Nurse Joy's Chansey]] and [[Nurse Joy's Audino|Audino]] so Officer Jenny's Hurdier should have an article. [[User:ZMT123|ZMT123]] 19:45, 8 January 2012 (UTC)
:Two episodes only. Not notable enough. Unlike Joy, Jenny uses a variety of different Pokémon. At least in Unova. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 23:49, 8 January 2012 (UTC)
::But keep in mind that it will be the equivelent to their Growlithes. What we could do, however, is just wait until it gets more appearances. [[User:Satoshi101|サトシ]] 02:23, 9 January 2012 (UTC)
:::That's what KG was trying to say. More major appearances equals more notability--[[User:SandmanDP|SandmanDP]] 03:30, 9 January 2012 (UTC)

== Episode titling punctuation ==

I noticed that the names of Pokemon episodes are punctuated on Bulbapedia with italics. I've learned that italics are used only for names of novels, films, television programs, and, when they were produced, Radio serials. Quotations are used for names of television episodes and shorts and poems, and I'm pretty sure something else. To open up episode articles, there's no punctuation in the English title, dub and translated. I know it would seem to be a long and tedious sub-project, but I'd be more than willing to help. Would you approve my doing this?--[[User:SandmanDP|SandmanDP]] 22:18, 8 January 2012 (UTC)
:Personally, I feel that the italics are better than the quotes. Quotes don't get used around here unless we quote someone, among other things. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 23:49, 8 January 2012 (UTC)
::But shouldn't proper grammar trump personal feeling?--[[User:SandmanDP|SandmanDP]] 23:58, 8 January 2012 (UTC)
:::It should, unless there is an executive decision deciding otherwise. Hi, I'm the executive decision. It is true that in general episode names are quoted, but that isn't the case here for two reasons.
:::The first being that when the site was initially being built, someone decided to italicize them. Why did they do this? I don't know, but the fact of the matter is now we have thousands and thousands of italic episode titles all over the site. This would be an insane task to revert, but it isn't really a paramount issue because of reason number 2.
:::They look fine. Ok, there's more to it than that, but the basis being that they are clear and easily definable among other words so it doesn't really matter that much. Add into the first factor of there being so many and you have to ask, is it worth spending such a large amount of time to fix something that isn't really a big deal?
:::Yes it's wrong, but it isn't exactly going to break the site so for the time being, or the foreseeable future. We have many other projects both in planning, and at the ready, so the episode names shall remain italic. Besides, this is Bulbapedia, we do things different than everyone else. It's what makes us unique. -- '''[[User:MAGNEDETH|MAG]][[Special:Contributions/MAGNEDETH|NE]][[User talk:MAGNEDETH|DETH]]''' 00:13, 9 January 2012 (UTC)

== One little question ==

Ok, I think you should already be tired of answering this kind of stuff, but I wonder if I have your approval to create a page for Drew's Masquerain and Drew's Flygon. After all, Masquerain was used to gain a Ribonn for Drew, used in a battle against Team Rocket and May, used in two Grand Festivals and Flygon was used in both battles against May in both championships, used to try to capture Arcanine ,had few cameos during the Battle Frontier and used against Robert in the Grand Festival.--[[User:Hikaru Wazana|Hikaru Wazana]] 02:58 - 10 January 2012 (UTC)
:[http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/User_talk:Kenji-girl/Archive_20#Drew.27s_Flygon Please see this]

:And I don't believe Masquerain did enough to warrant an article. It's article was also decided to be merged as the decision of the EB just like Flygon was. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 04:12, 10 January 2012 (UTC)

::About this ...

::Just out of curiosity, but the Pokemon of Ash's rivals are more notable than those of female characters in the series?
::I mean, Harrison has a lot less appearances that Drew have and obtain pages to your main Pokemon(I'm not saying they do not notable, just to be able to better understand the rules), and if you count only the appearances of the Drew's Pokemon and them Harley's give more episodes than the appearances of Harrison own.
::I'm not objecting, just wondering...

::Taking advantage of the post, I've been there a while doing a page on [[User:Hikaru Wazana/Ash's Rivals|Ash's rivals]]. I wonder if she has any chance of becoming part of the site mainspace or she will have to be deleted as of Cynthia when I was working?--[[User:Hikaru Wazana|Hikaru Wazana]] 02:18 - 15 January 2012 (UTC)

:::If I may put in my two cents, the page honestly has poor grammar, poor structure, and just putting the Starter Pokémon, especially when many are unconfirmed, is incomplete and speculative. To put the "Jaywalking" in "Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking", the r would be lowercase ie "Ash's ''r''ivals"--[[User:SandmanDP|SandmanDP]] 02:24, 15 January 2012 (UTC)

::The page is not ready, I'm just presenting the concept to see if I can go ahead with it.--[[User:Hikaru Wazana|Hikaru Wazana]] 02:31 - 15 January 2012 (UTC)
:::Not even sure what you mean by Ash's rival Pokémon being more notable than female characters. I'm not saying it's impossible for them to ever have an article. I just need to talk it over with the others. The point is we don't need someone to put a page in their userspace when the page already exists. As I said at the top, the redirects can just be reverted.

:::And like I said before, the rival page would at least have to have a better format before I can consider it. I don't care for the fanon terminology at the top to be honest. But it can possibly get on the site if the format is made presentable. Maybe you should refer to [[Ash's friends]].

Hey, it's me again. When was Chikorita confirmed as female and how come Cyndaquil and Totodile weren't? I now know how all of Ash's Sinnoh and Unova Pokemon were considered a certain gender because he's at least met one Pokemon with Attract in each of the 2 sagas and he only kept a team of 6 Pokemon.

Hey Kenji.

== Trainer Pokémon sections ==

Hey KG, I was wondering about some pages that have lots of different sections under a "Pokémon" section. Namely the professors. For example, if you take a look at {{an|Professor Oak}}, his Pokémon sections say "On hand", "Status unknown", "Gives to new trainers"; and then it sort of forgets the section it's in so it has to remind itself; "Pokémon he gave away to trainers", "Pokémon residing at Oak's Lab", and "Pokémon that previously resided at Oak's lab." Can we reword the last three so they don't include the word "Pokémon"? It seemed redundant to me, and it makes articles like [[Professor Elm]] confusing when we have a "Pokémon he gave away to trainers" section ''and'' a "Given away" section. What's your opinion?

== "Diamond & Pearl" to "Diamond and Pearl" ==

Now that we're going with calling season 15 "Black & White: Rival Destinies", for consistancy's sake, shouldn't that also mean that the titles of seasons 11-13 be moved to have "Diamond & Pearl" replaced with "Diamond and Pearl"? Seeing as the "and" is used instead of the ampersand in dub-related circumstances (like season 10).Despite how minor it is - calling those seasons "Diamond & Pearl" would be equivilant to calling season 15 "Pokemon Best Wishes: Rival Destinies".

I know there was a discussion on the season 11 talkpage, but the title of season 15 pretty much flies in the face of every argument against using the ampersand in the DP season names. -[[User:Thingamajig257|Thingamajig]]'''[[User talk:Thingamajig257|257]]'''- 12:06, 29 January 2012 (UTC)

Maybe wait until we see the official season title of Rival Destinies? For all we know they're doing the same thing (Pokémon BW: Rival Destinies). There's always a change the ToonZone forum is presenting it incorrectly. If that would be the case I would say move those seasons to abbreviated form.

: though she has made many appearences in the anime, her character has not been much more notablte than Elm or Birch, the reason we Proffesor Oak (anime) is because unlike the other proffesors he has been a constant character throughout the anime and therefore had a ton of info in his anime section. Because of the sheer mass and giant size of his page, the article was split, as it was for Giovanni and Giovanni (anime), if Juniper's anime section gets that large we'll do the same, the rules for this are a little different to how we'd decide if a rivals pokemon for instance, deserves a page :) [[User:05308|Diamond]] [[Lanturn (Pokémon)|Lanturn]] [[User talk:05308|CodeName: 05308]] 22:58, 5 February 2012 (UTC)

:PM is notorious for using made up romanizations rather than using what's official when they don't know what the true romanizations are. For example, they use "Deathmas" and "Deathkarn" when it has been proven that they are officially romanized as {{p|Desumasu}} and {{p|Desukarn}}. We've had a lot of problems caused over here because users trusted what they said. Like "Ranculus" instead of {{p|Lanculus}}. Now it's true that they have been correct sometimes, but we only take our romanizations from official media like stickers or other merchandise that spell the Pokémon names in romaji. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 11:30, 11 February 2012 (UTC)

Sorry about this, I'm use to forums or sites where you can PM/e-mail admins, I'm still new to wikis in general. I never tried too hard to edit them because they are too techy for me, and I have heard many horror stories about childish behavior from editors and those who run wikis alike.

Anyways is there a list of websites that this wiki considers trust worthy? I came across this article http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/news/25353 about there being no more games for Gen V like a third version.

If that article can be trusted, shouldn't some mention about that info be added to the articles relating to Black and White and the Version article?

I know from common sense and reading the Version article that a formula has been followed since the beginning. However, if there is not going be a third version of the games, then some mention that the formula has been broken should be made on the affected articles am i correct?

== Removable subpage? ==

I asked Maverick Nate a couple of days ago to remove but now I'm just wondering if [[http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/User:Dialgafan1/Sandbox this subpage]] is worth removing since it seems to be a bunch of blank party templates with just some Pokémon names and no attack moves at all throughout the page.

You stated that not everyone is banned for sharing an IP. Then why was my brother banned? I'd like to know. He did nothing wrong. It was me spreading rumors that Brock's Vulpix was ◙. Where the rumors came from is hearsay because my brother's friend Max might've heard a long time ago that his cousins or his friends at his aunt's house thought it was ◙ and the rules say that if the majority votes or thinks it's this, then it must be true whether one person believes it or not.

==Suggestion for the Wiki==
Where would i post a suggestion for the wiki? Would i ask you... or do I go to the forums. If i do ask you, what would you think about a new project: Pokémon pronunciation. After their names on every Pokémon's page, there should be a pronunciation key. I know Nintendo never gave pronunciation keys, but with the anime, we should be able to get the pronunciations. I only say this because I personally hate not knowing how to pronounce a Pokémon's name, and there's a lot I don't know, and I don't wan to go find what anime episode they are in to listen to when a character says there name. To be honest, I'm not really good with forums, so if this is something that should be brought to the attention of the forums, could you help me set it up? Thank you... [[User:Toadstool|Toadstool]] 23:53, 22 June 2011 (UTC)
:The issue with pronounciations, it the official handbooks have one, the 3D games usually have a different one, the anime often has a third different one, and in some cases the movies have a fourth.

== Large-Scale Pokémon Graph Projects ==

Hello!

[http://s49.photobucket.com/albums/f293/Googlebonker/Pokemon%20Project%20Base%20Stat%20Graphs/][http://s49.photobucket.com/albums/f293/Googlebonker/Pokemon%20Project%20Maximum%20and%20Minimum%20Stat%20Graphs/]

If those don't work, go to photobucket.com and search "Googlebonker."

These are projects I started that I really don't want to take the time to finish. I'd like them to be presented to the Pokémon community for other people to continue work on them.

I enjoyed seeing graphs in an early strategy guide for Pokémon. I don't understand why they stopped using that style of graph and began using numbers of blocks/circles to represent the strength of a Pokémon's Stats. Graphs included in the above-linked albums are more accurate representations of Pokémon's Base Stats and maximum and minimum stats with Hindering, Neutral, and Beneficial Natures.

The files in the "Pokemon Project Base Stat Graphs" album include a blank Base Stats graph, Base Stat comparison charts by evolution chain, and Base Stat graphs for the following Pokémon:

Pokemon #001-#151, all evolutions and/or pre-evolutions of Pokémon #001-#151 not included in those numbers (where applicable), Shuckle, Shedinja, Arceus, Zekrom, and Reshiram

The "Pokemon Project Maximum and Minimum Stat Graphs" (M&MSGs) album includes blank M&MSGs and M&MSGs for the Pokémon listed above. It also contains the albums "Attack Special Attack Defense Special Defense," "HP_," and "Speed." These albums contain color-coded pixels indicating M&MS based on Base Stats. These files can be used in conjunction with a blank M&MSG to more easily make a new M&MSG for a Pokémon.

I already have a guide on how to construct files ready to go.

The "01Items" Album and its sub-albums contain a small amount of files. These files are the basis of a much larger, more time-consuming subproject of graphing Pokémon's M&MS while holding certain items that affect Pokémon's Stats (not the Base Power of Moves).

I don't guarantee all of the information I've graphed is correct.

Thank you for your time and reading. I hope someone or some people can take the reigns of these projects and see them through to completion. [[User:Googlebonker|Googlebonker]] 19:34, 20 July 2011 (UTC)
:The graphs are far less accurate and exact than our bar style. It would also be extremely difficult to implement as opposed to our coded templates. I appreciate the effort and suggestion, but it isnt really feasible. Also, please use the preview button instead of making multiple small edits. -- '''[[User:MAGNEDETH|MAG]][[Special:Contributions/MAGNEDETH|NE]][[User talk:MAGNEDETH|DETH]]''' 04:01, 21 July 2011 (UTC)

I can understand about the feasibility, but far less accurate? Did you open those files or simply look at the thumbnails? Isn`t it possible to have a small version of a picture that shows the full version when a mouse cursor`s tip pixel is placed over any of the small version`s position?

[[User:Googlebonker|Googlebonker]] 06:09, 21 July 2011 (UTC)
::Not with the current version of Mediawiki. We can only have the thumbnail on the page, and when clicked, it loads the image page. It's less desirable than what we have at the moment. The bars are an easy enough way to compare them, for me at least easier, since they all go in the same direction. Also, take in mind that the current template uses relatively little loading - it doesn't use any images from the archives. Even in the show/hides we have, the images are still all loaded when the page is, so a large image would negatively imact the loading times.

== Internamespace redirects ==

Hey there. I was bumming around today and I realized that we don't have many, if any, redirects from the mainspace to the Bulbapedia namespace. If somebody wants to find out, say, who the administrators are, they're probably going to type in "Administrators" or "Admins" into the search bar, which will get them nowhere. Well, not ''nowhere''. They'd have to click around for it. Would you be opposed to having redirects from the mainspace for some of the larger items in the Bulbapedia namespace? Like, the big policies, usergroups, etc. I don't see any inherent problem with it, but I figure there might be some reason why we don't have them.

== Watchlist Curiousity ==

Hi '''MAGNEDETH'''. So here's the thing: A few days ago, I was looking at my watchlist, something I do every now and again, and I saw something on it that made me wonder what it was for. That thing is the little number in parentheses next to the username. You know, the little number that's either green or red. That thing. Normally, I would just disregard it entirely and continue with whatever I was doing, but this time, I stopped to wonder, "Why is this thing here? What is it even for?" And for everyone else out there looking at this, I'll insert a "typed picture" as well to show what I'm talking about. And this is an actual example from my watchlist. So here it is everyone:

'''November 4, 2011'''

See the '''bold green "(+1,757)"'''? That's what got me curious. What is is for? Why is it there? What does it mean? I'm very confused right now. Oh, and, by the way, the large amount of "-"s is for things on my watchlist that I prefer not to post, just to stay out of trouble from other users.

So, that's pretty much it. Bye!

Okay, so here's my problem: while I was on the forums, checking to see if I got any new PMs or replies to my posts or something, I tried to load the page to my profile page and my browser (IE9) said, "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage".

I watched the trailer again recently, and I listened to Pikachu. I learned they used sound effects from the anime because it obviously sounds like Ikue Ohtani.

== Conversations on the same page ==

Having replies on the same page is not necessary: it has always been personal preference (which can be seen by the few users who state on the top of their page that they like messages together, such as {{u|Kogoro}}). Additionally, [[Bulbapedia:Talk page policy|according to the talk page policy]], when you removed the comment from masatoshi's page, you broke the part of the talk page etiquette that says : "Removing comments is also frowned upon." No where does it state that they need to be on the same userpage when talking to someone, and it shouldn't (we can't force a certain personal preference). Telling the person to do it that way from now on would have been the appropriate action, without removing the comment. The history is now on Masatoshi's page, and if looking at the history on DigiKatana's page, it appears that you are posting messages with someone else's signature (which appears to be a much larger offense). Moral: You can't force users to post on the same page. You can ask them to do that, but as it is personal preference, you cannot force it upon them.

==Unbanned from the forum==

I was unfairly banned from the forum just because I told everyone I had a brother. There seems to be a mistake. He said that he had a friend who was banned but I never even mentioned his friend as I didn't know that person in the first place. I even said his name was Cycling Road and I am Cycling Road's brother and Cycling Road is Max's friend. There's nothing I can do about that. I do have a different birth certificate than them that I'm the youngest out of all his friends. I don't know who's admin of the forum so if this issue needs to be brought up to Archaic, let me know. My brother also had a different friend on who was here last year. ([[User:MichaelXD|MichaelXD]] 18:34, 2 February 2012 (UTC))

== Regarding my Brother's Friend's Account ==

My brother's friend attempted to make an account on here a while ago. His name wasn't available. He couldn't find a name. He signed up as ShadowLugia with his email address and he wants to talk to people, have a profile, and post edits. He has another friend from BMGF and serebii from his high school named Ruckus Jorgee who my brother is a good friend with and is NOT AMORAL or IMMORAL; I don't care what Serebii said on his profile. It is untrue. Can you send him ShadowLugia a password to sign up with as he told me to send one of the mods a message as he's still looking for his phone charger so he can get me on the sites, then he's going to talk about his sibling of his own. ShadowLugia or Max claims he has a sister. ([[User:MichaelXD|MichaelXD]] 01:06, 25 February 2012 (UTC))

What do you mean by that? He never received an email about activating his account. Do I bring it up to the admin of Bulbapedia? ([[User:MichaelXD|MichaelXD]] 05:42, 25 February 2012 (UTC))
:You didn't say that before. In fact, I'm not sure what you were trying to say because your comment didn't make any sense.

He did check his junk mail which you mean by spam mail and it wasn't there. Second, I have 2 questions. How did my comment not make sense? How can he get reactivated once he did check his spam folder? He was in it a lot of times. ([[User:MichaelXD|MichaelXD]] 21:13, 25 February 2012 (UTC))

== Wikipedia ==

I have noticed that Wikipedia feels that we are not good enough for page creation, as they have deleted previous pages for Bulbapedia, and no longer allow new ones. However, they use this site for some of the Pokémon information, such a if you search "Bulbapedia", you get hundereds of hits. Do you think something should be done about that? {{unsigned|Rsrdaman}}
:Do I think we deserve a page? Yes. We are one of the largest, and more specifically, highest quality user based wiki's on the net.

== Bulbapedia Unfair Block ==

Magnedeth, I'm wondering why you accused me of being Cycling Road. I did not make a new account to start over. In fact, I have nothing to edit. I just have questions about how some formulas and how to plug in some math equations into a formula to get something different other than the damage. I did nothing wrong. My brother was unfairly blocked when he made his account and his account was disabled and I think you owe us an apology. I told the community the whole time I had a brother and he even stated he was my older brother himself. ([[User:MichaelXD|MichaelXD]] 15:40, 27 February 2012 (UTC))
:Would you mind telling me who is ShadowLugia then, and why does both of you have the exact same ip address? ♫♪ [[User:Adyniz|'''エイデ''']][[User talk:Adyniz|'''ィニズ''']] ♪♫ 17:29, 27 February 2012 (UTC)

I'll explain it very carefully. ShadowLugia is a friend of my brother. He couldn't find a name so he just composed a name of something that is from Pokemon XD, something that is like supposed to frighten my favorite character from the game but it doesn't because it is snagged. He's actually Max and I don't know his connection to the bulbagarden forums but I know that I had a brother that came on there and when I said I had a brother I was banned and he was banned for asking a question and when his other friend Ruckus Jorgee talked to Ghost, he lied to him saying you don't get banned asking about why was someone banned. But it wasn't even about the ban. It was about a third party infraction he claims his friend received unfairly. ([[User:MichaelXD|MichaelXD]] 17:33, 27 February 2012 (UTC))
:In reference to your first comment, if you have nothing to edit, then you shouldn't be on BP. That's what we do, we edit.

:: I never understood why people get blocked or banned for sharing the same IP address, isn't it a fact that if two different people use the same computer, they share the same IP. And isn't it also a fact that if I were to log in a different state or computer that my IP address would be different. Or am I in a universe where magic exists, and IP addresses are linked psychically to a single person?--[[User:Dman dustin|Dman dustin]] 23:30, 27 February 2012 (UTC)

That's not true. I have edited things up but Werdnae told me that I had to go and read the manual style. I feel like I've been edit warring or saying things that are redundant. I only edit in facts that I know. I didn't make Pokemon so I shouldn't be making up anything, right? My brother has the same IP address as his friend because we live in the same house and we rely on one computer to log on as a source for our information, entertainment, fun, and enjoyment.

Dman, you should see that my brother's other friend had the same very exact problem and he's debating this on Wikipedia. I believe that even if IP's aren't tied to one person they shouldn't change just because the IP changes. If you live in a different state, I heard rumors hearsay from Max at the time from what he said in 2009 was that you could be accused of impersonating and you may not want that. Also my brother was nice to me and maybe he wanted to edit something. I didn't know what was on his mind but he gave me a nice greeting here and he can prove he was falsely treated too. ([[User:MichaelXD|MichaelXD]] 23:40, 27 February 2012 (UTC))
: I guess, I just always assumed IP addresses were computer fixed not user fixed, so if someone else who made an account in Florida for example, were to have a different IP address if they logged in a different state. But I guess it's possible that the initial IP address is fixed, but that's got to suck if people make accounts in a different computer than they normally are used to, and it happens to be the same IP address as someone else (perhaps a relative, or even a friend). {{unsigned|Dman dustin}}

:::Yeah, I should hope that sharing an IP address isn't the only factor in deciding to ban a user. Everyone in my house has the same IP address when connecting to the internet, despite each one of us having at least one computer of our own, and that's because the IP address is from our router. If for whatever reason my entire family decided to sign up on Bulbapedia, it wouldn't be fair for them all to be immediately banned. :V

I have done one of those before by thinking I just type the brackets and my name but you're supposed to just use the 4 tildes in the parenthesis to sign your name. It's when I was confirming stuff in anime that Brock's Geodude is ♂, Brock's Onix is ♂, Brock's Vulpix is ◙ even if I did hear rumors of it being female and that his Forretress was ◙ for example because it was female in the Stadium games and I want nothing of its abilities to be done with Dream World, then I learned how to sign the 4 tildes after I got caught doing that. Whether it was fact or opinion, I was really basing it on my past video game experience or my friends and his older friends or cousins that spread a rumor that Brock's Vulpix was ◙. I don't know what they discussed at their auntie's house. I wasn't there.

If a person uses the same computer, it'll have the same IP as itself. Hence, that's what I was trying to explain to a few people who I assume wanted to help me get my block lifted. Cycling Road is a very nice person. I don't care what Serebii or some other IRC staffers said against them. They made up some crap about my brother and said he was Max to have him banned. Lies and slander and our family doesn't tolerate it and it's a fallacy of them. ([[User:MichaelXD|MichaelXD]] 23:58, 27 February 2012 (UTC))

By creating your account you are now able to edit pages, join discussions, and expand the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia. Before you jump in, here are some ground rules:
* Be nice to everyone. It's in the {{bp|code of conduct}}.
* Make good edits. Preview them before you save to make sure they're perfect the first time around.
* Use {{bp|wikicode}} and {{bp|link templates}} when adding content to a page.
* Use proper grammar and spelling, and read the {{bp|manual of style}}.
* You can't create a userpage until you've added to the encyclopedia. It's a privilege. See the {{bp|userspace policy}}.
* Use {{bp|Talk page policy|talk pages}} to resolve editing disputes. Don't "edit war," or constantly re-edit/undo the same thing on a page.
* If you have a question about something, be proactive. Take a look at our {{bp|FAQ}}. If you're still stuck, ask for help. The {{bp|staff}} won't bite.

== Page edits ==

Please read the {{bp|Manual of Style}} before making more edits to pages. Edits should not be started with "edit" or be written in a conversational manner. Also, if someone removes your edit, ''do not'' just make it again. Doing so is known as edit warring and is not a good thing. Bring it up on the talk page instead - where a conversational style like your previous edit had would be more appropriate. That said, if you want to say "I'm not making this up" you'll need some kind of proof. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 03:35, 21 December 2011 (UTC)

Hi!
I was just wondering what the language is for your navigation bar? I wanted to have one to but I can't seem the find out how to make one. PLZ REPLY?
Shockfisher
:[[User:Werdnae/Nav|My nav bar]], like all pages on the wiki, is written in [[Bulbapedia:Wikicode|Wikicode]]. Wikicode involves a fair amount of html as well. Aside from that help page I linked, the best way to figure out how to use it yourself is to try it. Copy the code, remove a bit and preview. Whatever no longer works is what that bit of code does. I would appreciate it if you didn't just copypaste my coding and then save though. I'd rather you figure out how it works and remake it in your own style. Just remember that the page for your nav bar is in your userspace, so the one edit per day limit includes that page - you'll have to wait until the next server day to add the navbar to your main userpage.

(2) How do you make your userbox so it has [show] and [hide] options?

:# Put a table or div that covers the whole page with the style "<code><nowiki>background: #{{bulba color dark}};</nowiki></code>". If you need to, copy the coding for the exterior border on my talk page, remove the border bit and add that coding to it.
:# They userboxes are in a table with the class "expandable" (defaults to closed) or "collapsible" (defaults to open). Each row that should always show as a header for the following hidden bit should also have the expandable/collapsible class. Note that it doesn't work if the row has the class but the table as a whole doesn't, and you can mix-and-match the two in the same table. It still works if the table has expandable but every cell has collapsible, vice versa, or any other combination. Have a fiddle with the coding from my page if my explanation's a bit confusing. That said, I would appreciate if you didn't just copypaste my coding and then save. I'd rather you figure out how it works and add your own flair.

::::Sorry for the late update. I gave up for now. I'll keep working on the expandable thing, but I need a cheat sheet or something. I would just look on wikipedia but I can't go on that. Also, I think a "bad grammar" template would be great. Draft:

|-

| '''This {{{1|article}}} is exhibiting many grammatical errors. Please feel free to refine the grammar in this article and enhance Bulbapedia's viewer's experiences. Bulbapedia thanks you.
|}</nowiki></code>.

I think this template would be helpful because: One- It would let grammar and spelling freaks like myself flock to these pages and beautify them, and Two- It adds an alternative to Template:Rewording and Template: Cleanup. If you dislike the simplicity I will either try to "fancy it up" or wait eight years, go to college, take a class in computer programming, and try then. Or you'll do it.

:::::I've run it by a couple of other admins, and we feel that we don't really need either that or the reword one. If it's something simple, it can just be fixed when it's noticed - it's as much work to put on the template it as it is to fix. If it's extensive it probably needs a general cleanup too.

Since it doesn't, it defaults to displaying the first parameter (in this case 492S). You need to change that so that the switcher is using parameter 1, so it will use "492S" in that example.

== My Sig ==

Thank You so much for the signature help. I have one question though; how can a make a box to put my images in like for example that box that pokemon sprites are in on their own pages? PokePrincess 16:12, 19 June 2011 (UTC)--PokePrincess 16:12, 19 June 2011 (UTC) PokePrincess

Thanks
:The coding for the current sprite box can be found [[Template:Sprite|here]], but when you actually include the coding for the subtemplates as well it's remarkably complex because it has to take into account a lot of different scenarios. If you simply want to make a coloured box to put sprites in, then you'd be better off using a simple table. Table basics can be found on [[Bulbapedia:Wikicode]], and I'd suggest looking at the coding for the table section for the background and border coding. Most of that coding is pretty self-explanatory, especially when combined with what the page content. Also, just a note that there's a restriction on when you can edit your userpage - there's a minimum time limit and a minimum mainspace edit limit. It's great to see you're working towards the mainspace edit limit, if you haven't already reached it (I don't know the exact numbers), But you may need to wait a couple of weeks before it will let you edit it. Further details on that can be found on the {{bp|Userspace policy}}.

:Also, could I get you to change your sig code in your preferences to <code><nowiki>[[User talk:PokePrincess|PokePrincess]]</nowiki></code> please? We need it to actually have a link.

The difference is that third person is encyclopedic, while second person is more conversational - like a walkthrough.

== Optimizing PNG Images ==

Hey, I've taken an interest in helping with the archives, one of the things I think could be useful would be if I uploaded new revisions of PNG files that have been optimized for the smallest file size (with no to very little quality difference), such as converting RGB PNG's to Indexed Color PNG's (custom palletes). Anime images are very indexed-color friendly, their size can be signifigantly shrunk with little, if no impact on quality. Is this something worth doing, and would it be alright if I performed such optimizations? It may help with bandwidth/space issues. [[User:GetOutOfBox|GetOutOfBox]] 23:21, 12 July 2011 (UTC)
:I'll bring it up with some of the other Archives staff members. While obviously smaller images will improve loading times and result in reduced bandwidth requirements, I don't think that's the main cause of the loading issues. For the record, space isn't (at least currently) an issue - every revision of every page is saved, even deleted ones. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 23:42, 12 July 2011 (UTC)
::Sure. The difference is that with many anime images, especially character images, there are only a few distinct colors used. Hence rather than encoding them in a PNG that uses the entire RGB colorspace, one could simply include palette containing the few colors the image uses. The difference can be very large, with no visual drop. I could give you a few links to comparisons if you'd like (I'll upload them on an external website for now). Obviously bandwidth isn't a large issue (I'm guessing server hardware is more often than not), but anything that could save bulbapedia some bandwidth would be helpful, especially for larger images.

== Link Template ==

I want to make a new link template, but I don't know how. I looked on the article about it but it wasn't any help. Also how do you know how to make certain templates for your userpage.

[[User talk:Donyor|Donyor, Origin Form]] 05:29, 22 July 2011 (UTC)
:What do you want to make the link template for? Templates for the userspace are mostly just tables Use the preview button and removing code to figure out the table coding is the first step. Then, anything in three braces is a parameter (e.g. <nowiki>{{{test|default}}}</nowiki> is a parameter called "test" which defaults to "default") Parameters can be used to alter the outcome over different pages. If the parameter name is a number, then it doesn't need to be named when the template is used, as long as it is that number in the template, counting only unnamed parameters. (That's probably really confusing. Have a look at existing templates to get a better idea.) Also, remember that templates for the userspace should be made in the userspace, so they count towards your limit. They only get moved to the templatespace if they become widely used. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 10:49, 22 July 2011 (UTC)

Errrrr, is there a link to the template space for userspace templates, I don't know much wikicode.

[[User talk:Donyor|Donyor, Origin Form]] 14:35, 25 July 2011 (UTC)
:If you want to link to the templatespace, you can use the {{template|template}} template to easily format it like a template. If you want to use a template in the userspace, it works exactly as in the mainspace (just be careful not to include yourself in mainspace categories). Pages in the userspace can be included as templates by putting the full page name in braces, e.g. to include my nav template which is at the top of this page, I use <code><nowiki>{{User:Werdnae/Nav}}</nowiki></code>. If you're using a subpage as a template, then you can exclude the page it's included on from the call. e.g. on my userpage, the same template is called by <code><nowiki>{{/Nav}}</nowiki></code> Hope that helped.

[[User talk:Donyor|Donyor, Origin Form]] 03:22, 29 July 2011 (UTC)
:The talk page health bar is a calculation based on the size of the page. The health goes down as the page increases in size, reaching empty when the page reaches 100kB.

== Leaf ==

You know what, I give up. Nobody can listen to reason.
I'm leaving not coming back etc... I' sure you have heard it before.
But before I do hear me out.

Leaf's name. Where did it come from?
She was not in the anime at all. If I'm wrong (and I'm 99% positive I'm not) what episode?
Her manga counterpart was Green. (Blue in Japan)
Her name is never officially stated in the games Pokemon Fire Red and Pokemon Leaf Green, which are the only games that she makes an appearance.
Leaf isn't THE default name, but simply one of the many that she can have if the player did not enter a name and is playing Leaf Green.
The only place where she is known as Leaf in an official source is, as a dummy trainer inside the game. (Probably to test battles or as a place holder) Furthermore this knowledge was originally obtained through illegal methods, by opening up the Rom in some program.

She has no official name.
If the name is based on internal data, then it's important to list that.
If it isn't based on internal data and she has no official name, Then its a fan name, so it's important to list that.
Why do you refuse to acknowledge this? After all this IS an online encyclopedia specializing in Pokemon, is it not? One would think that this would be important trivia.

== Pokémon League Naming System ==

Hey Werdnae, since you’re the head of games I’m coming to you with an issue I’ve noticed. I noticed that there is an inconsistency in the naming of Pokémon Leagues. It’s understandable that the Kanto and Johto leagues are named the Indigo league, but the page for the Pokémon league in Hoenn is named [[Hoenn League]], while Sinnoh and Unova are named “Pokémon Leauge (Sinnoh/Unova). Why are these two named differently from Hoenn? I think in order to keep consistency Hoenn should be moved to “Pokémon League (Hoenn)” or if there’s another solution maybe something else can be worked out. Any Thoughts? Thanks! [[User:Pokemaster97|--Pokemaster]][[User talk:Pokemaster97|97]] 04:59, 27 December 2011 (UTC)
:The Sinnoh and Unova ones are at that location because that's what they are called in-game. Likewise the Indigo league. Hoenn league. . . I don't know. Jo checked and a woman just outside Hoenn's Victory road says "The POKéMON LEAGUE is only a short distance after the VICTORY ROAD. If you've come this far, what choice do you have but to keep going?". So I'd say bring it up on the talk page, and see if anyone can provide a reason it should stay there. If not, we can move it to "Pokémon League (Hoenn)". [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 07:37, 27 December 2011 (UTC)
::Um, you two seem to be confused. The Sinnoh and Unova counterparts to [[Indigo League]] and [[Hoenn League]] are [[Sinnoh League]] and [[Unova League]], while the Kanto (Indigo) and Hoenn counterparts to [[Pokémon League (Sinnoh)]] and [[Pokémon League (Unova)]] are [[Indigo Plateau]] and [[Ever Grande City]]. The first group is the organizations (so includes the Gym Leaders, Elite Four, and Champion), the second group is the name of the place where the Elite Four and Champion reside (or where the Pokémon League tournament is held in the anime, which is why [[Mt. Silver]] is with them on the navigation template). --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 09:23, 27 December 2011 (UTC)

== Help me Reword it and please restore my last glitch ==

Ok can you help me reword it? Ability Changing Glitch
This glitch is common in Pokemon XD Gale of Darkness. When a Pokemon is capable of having more than one ability, such as Golduck's Cloud Nine which can be tested or proven by using combinations such as Rain Dance + Thunder, Sunny Day + Solarbeam, or Hail + Blizzard, etc. and then during the weather effects Thunder or Blizzard misses or Solarbeam has to charge up even though it's sunny. K.O. the Pokemon and then get it from Miror B. Go to the PC and check the Pokemon's stats and it now has a 50% chance of changing its ability. It is possible now that the Golduck can have Damp even it appeared to have Cloud Nine in the first battle.
Another way of activating the glitch is to lose to a trainer that has a Shadow Pokemon that is capable of having more than one ability. Example, to trigger this glitch on Greevil enter the battle with his Moltres and Rhydon without an Electric move. If you use an Electric move, it will automatically reveal its ability and the glitch will fail. Save before you fight him the second time and you would have already snagged Lugia. Get into a battle and use an Electric attack on Moltres. Reset and then attempt to use an Electric type on Moltres again and have Rhydon block it with Lightningrod. This glitch has been confirmed on youtube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r0rEkxYGEuY

[edit]EXP Glitch
This glitch only works on Pokemon Colosseum. When your opponent is down to their last Pokemon, have one Pokemon use Perish Song while the other uses something to burn, Will-o-wisp, or poison, Toxic, to poison the enemy. Then DO NOT faint the Pokemon. If the Pokemon faints to any of your attacks, the glitch will fail. If it faints to the Toxic, your Pokemon will gain EXP Points. Then when the countdown of Perish Song starts, you'll gain the same amount of EXP Points you earned as for the EXP Points gained for the Pokemon that was defeated. EXP Points will be awarded twice to both Pokemon no matter which side they're on, left or right. This glitch was removed in Pokemon XD Gale of Darkness but was in Colosseum for unknown reasons.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=41_bnx_Zs_Q

If you feel like these don't follow the code of conduct, then I'm sorry but I post everything in my best grammar. I'm tired of people telling me I don't use good grammar because that is nonimportant and untrue. I am 15. You in general means the player, since I don't know what you name yourselves but respectively, what words should I use that still make sense? Anyway my article about the EXP Share glitch in the 4th gen game was removed. Could you JAs restore it please? I'm pretty sure I discovered an EXP Share glitch where your Pokemon would gain one less EXP Point if it was holding EXP Share and it defeated a Pokemon in battle that you know how many EXP Points it wages. ([[User:MichaelXD|MichaelXD]] 23:01, 1 January 2012 (UTC))
:I don't have time to do the full reword myself. If I did, I'd just have done it. For the final paragraph, it should go something like this:
::''"In [[Pokémon Colosseum]], an opponent's last Pokémon may give experience twice if it faints due to damage from a status effect while also affected by {{m|Perish Song}}. This was fixed in [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]]."''
:The idea is that rather than using "you" as a substitute for naming the player, you write it in such a way that you don't need to refer to the player in that manner at at all.

:For the Experience Share "glitch", all rounding goes downwards. If the experience rewarded would have been odd, (e.g. 101) then half of that gives in a number ending in .5 (in the example, 50.5). That is then rounded down (50), meaning that a total of one experience point is lost. It's not a glitch, it's how the calculation works. That's why it was removed from the glitch page.

:I don't care how old you are. You're still expected to follow the proper style of an encyclopedia when you add stuff here. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 23:19, 1 January 2012 (UTC)

Ok, I was saying that I didn't know how to word things. Was I not supposed to state how to perform the glitch but write the article about how the glitch operates? I thought that the Pokemon gaining one less EXP Point due to EXP Share was a glitch. When I use 2 Pokemon in double battle I usually think the one not battling with it earns the sum of the EXP Points earned while the Lucky Egg brings extra EXP Points. It's the same as having a traded Pokemon without Lucky Egg. I wasn't making an excuse. I just have never edited things for the public before so I don't know how anything should be worded around here. I have made an edit to include the game. Also there is a glitch on Pokemon XD. One is the ability changing glitch and another is the platform glitch. I'll try to get rid of I and you if that is causing you a pain. Again, I'm sorry. ([[User:MichaelXD|MichaelXD]] 15:06, 15 January 2012 (UTC))

== Error in EXP Points Group Fast & Medium Fast ==

Hi. I would like to inform that there seems to be an error in the EXP Points group. For my favorite video game Pokemon XD Gale of Darkness I wrote which EXP group every Pokemon was in. That includes Rapidash, the Shadow Pokemon that is snagged from Cipher Peon Kolest on Citadark Isle and I checked the amount of experience points my Ponyta has at level 28 in Pokemon Pearl and how many she has left to level 29. Hence I am raising her to level 30. When I checked my chart on Microsoft Excel, she seemed to be in the actual Fast group. Not the Medium fast group. You should be surprised that I just don't start randomly editing anywhere without any proof. Also I didn't know how to send a message before but no one removed my edit about battling Chobin. Only about the genders and abilities for anime Pokemon which I was warned for. I stopped because I didn't want to make whoever ran it angry. Ponyta and Rapidash have 1,000,000 at level 100, not 800,000. ([[User:MichaelXD|MichaelXD]] 13:41, 15 January 2012 (UTC))
:I just checked, and my Rapidash in White is in the Medium Fast group (216000 EXP at level 60). Can you perhaps use Rare Candies to get some level data (you don't need to save after using them; you can just reset and you won't lose any)? Also, I think your last statement s backwards. At level 100, we do say Ponyta and Rapidash have 1,000,000 EXP; if it were in the Fast group, it would have 800,000. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 15:45, 15 January 2012 (UTC)

I did train Rapidash to level 60 once for the Orre Colosseum and I'm looking at my chart I got from here. Is the table wrong or something? I only have one Rare Candy and I'll have to see again either when I get Rapidash in Pearl or battle a Cipher Peon on Citadark Isle again who has a Rapidash and then purify it. I didn't catch Rapidash in my last game because I rushed and was trying to get a glitch to work that only operates on Citadark Isle. ([[User:MichaelXD|MichaelXD]] 00:12, 16 January 2012 (UTC))

Edit, ok my table is wrong perhaps. I got in the mix when I wrote my table. So you're right and I'm wrong. I thought Medium Fast was right next to Erratic. ([[User:MichaelXD|MichaelXD]] 00:17, 16 January 2012 (UTC))

Hello, Werdnae. I saw some edits that you and ZMT123 made regarding route maps. You undid his edits saying that those composite images were ok.

== Mystery Dungeon Move Template ==

A little while ago, I asked how to get the template onto the move pages under the main template. You gave me some HTML, but the problem with that was that it left so much white space at the top of the page.

::I'd lean towards just those ones. If you're going to get any others, the Mystery Dngeon games and Rumble games have moves, but the MD descriptions are much longer - more like our effects sections, and the descriptions in Rumble only deal with secondary effects, so many moves don't even have them.

== Brother's Friend Didn't get an Activation Notice Email ==

My brother's friend says he signed up with an account a couple weeks ago. I didn't see him create the account. There were very little names. He signed up with the name ShadowLugia and he wanted to come on here to make edits, have a profile, contact some people, even interact with me and he has gotten no email in his inbox. I believe that he's still trying to help us with our situation that I'm not a sock of my sibling and he has a sibling of his own. He wants to explain that after he proves that we're not him. My brother also has a friend named Ruckus Jorgee. If he has tried to register and received no activation notice email, please send one to him too. He is neither IMMORAL or AMORAL because whatever Serebii said to him on his profile about a year ago isn't true. ([[User:MichaelXD|MichaelXD]] 19:26, 25 February 2012 (UTC))

Excuse me. I have a question about this. If a member informs the staff or admin, creator, or webmaster of a site that they have a friend at their IP address, sibling, or cousin, do they communicate about it with other staff so that they don't falsely accuse them of ban evasion or sockpuppeting because that's what my brother's friend Ruckus Jorgee was accused of on multiple forums. I'm sure you've heard of him here in an argument in relation to serebii when he saw some guy named ShinyMew get on the forum who he claims is Jess. Ruckus Jorgee says he is Max's friend as well.

== Nav Bar ==
Hi!
I was just wondering what the language is for your navigation bar? I wanted to have one to but I can't seem the find out how to make one. PLZ REPLY?
Shockfisher
:[[User:Werdnae/Nav|My nav bar]], like all pages on the wiki, is written in [[Bulbapedia:Wikicode|Wikicode]]. Wikicode involves a fair amount of html as well. Aside from that help page I linked, the best way to figure out how to use it yourself is to try it. Copy the code, remove a bit and preview. Whatever no longer works is what that bit of code does. I would appreciate it if you didn't just copypaste my coding and then save though. I'd rather you figure out how it works and remake it in your own style. Just remember that the page for your nav bar is in your userspace, so the one edit per day limit includes that page - you'll have to wait until the next server day to add the navbar to your main userpage.

== Questions ==

2 of 'em-

(1) How do you make your userpage backround bulba color dark?
(2) How do you make your userbox so it has [show] and [hide] options?
After I learn how to, this will be my final major edit to my u page. And I'll focus 100% on my edits (Before was like 45%.) Thanks twice- ♣♣ ''[[User:Focus58|Ƒǿҫὑṩ]] [[User talk:Focus58|❺❽]]'' ♣♣ 20:52, 16 June 2011 (UTC)
:# Put a table or div that covers the whole page with the style "<code><nowiki>background: #{{bulba color dark}};</nowiki></code>". If you need to, copy the coding for the exterior border on my talk page, remove the border bit and add that coding to it.
:# They userboxes are in a table with the class "expandable" (defaults to closed) or "collapsible" (defaults to open). Each row that should always show as a header for the following hidden bit should also have the expandable/collapsible class. Note that it doesn't work if the row has the class but the table as a whole doesn't, and you can mix-and-match the two in the same table. It still works if the table has expandable but every cell has collapsible, vice versa, or any other combination. Have a fiddle with the coding from my page if my explanation's a bit confusing. That said, I would appreciate if you didn't just copypaste my coding and then save. I'd rather you figure out how it works and add your own flair.

:::I assume you're using a table? You can have a table inside a table. Just make sure that all the content for the part of the page is inside a cell of the outer table. If it's not in a cell then it won't work properly. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 07:39, 18 June 2011 (UTC)
::::Sorry for the late update. I gave up for now. I'll keep working on the expandable thing, but I need a cheat sheet or something. I would just look on wikipedia but I can't go on that. Also, I think a "bad grammar" template would be great. Draft:

<code><nowiki>{| align="center" style="background: #{{rock color}}; border: 3px solid #{{poison color}}; width: 90%; {{roundy|40px}}"
|-

| '''This {{{1|article}}} is exhibiting many grammatical errors. Please feel free to refine the grammar in this article and enhance Bulbapedia's viewer's experiences. Bulbapedia thanks you.
|}</nowiki></code>.

I think this template would be helpful because: One- It would let grammar and spelling freaks like myself flock to these pages and beautify them, and Two- It adds an alternative to Template:Rewording and Template: Cleanup. If you dislike the simplicity I will either try to "fancy it up" or wait eight years, go to college, take a class in computer programming, and try then. Or you'll do it.

:::::I've run it by a couple of other admins, and we feel that we don't really need either that or the reword one. If it's something simple, it can just be fixed when it's noticed - it's as much work to put on the template it as it is to fix. If it's extensive it probably needs a general cleanup too. IMO, Cleanup should be used where there's poor grammar, a reword is needed or it needs reformatting. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 10:24, 25 June 2011 (UTC)

Since it doesn't, it defaults to displaying the first parameter (in this case 492S). You need to change that so that the switcher is using parameter 1, so it will use "492S" in that example.

== My Sig ==

Thank You so much for the signature help. I have one question though; how can a make a box to put my images in like for example that box that pokemon sprites are in on their own pages? PokePrincess 16:12, 19 June 2011 (UTC)--PokePrincess 16:12, 19 June 2011 (UTC) PokePrincess

Thanks
:The coding for the current sprite box can be found [[Template:Sprite|here]], but when you actually include the coding for the subtemplates as well it's remarkably complex because it has to take into account a lot of different scenarios. If you simply want to make a coloured box to put sprites in, then you'd be better off using a simple table. Table basics can be found on [[Bulbapedia:Wikicode]], and I'd suggest looking at the coding for the table section for the background and border coding. Most of that coding is pretty self-explanatory, especially when combined with what the page content. Also, just a note that there's a restriction on when you can edit your userpage - there's a minimum time limit and a minimum mainspace edit limit. It's great to see you're working towards the mainspace edit limit, if you haven't already reached it (I don't know the exact numbers), But you may need to wait a couple of weeks before it will let you edit it. Further details on that can be found on the {{bp|Userspace policy}}.

:Also, could I get you to change your sig code in your preferences to <code><nowiki>[[User talk:PokePrincess|PokePrincess]]</nowiki></code> please? We need it to actually have a link.

== Optimizing PNG Images ==

Hey, I've taken an interest in helping with the archives, one of the things I think could be useful would be if I uploaded new revisions of PNG files that have been optimized for the smallest file size (with no to very little quality difference), such as converting RGB PNG's to Indexed Color PNG's (custom palletes). Anime images are very indexed-color friendly, their size can be signifigantly shrunk with little, if no impact on quality. Is this something worth doing, and would it be alright if I performed such optimizations? It may help with bandwidth/space issues. [[User:GetOutOfBox|GetOutOfBox]] 23:21, 12 July 2011 (UTC)
:I'll bring it up with some of the other Archives staff members. While obviously smaller images will improve loading times and result in reduced bandwidth requirements, I don't think that's the main cause of the loading issues. For the record, space isn't (at least currently) an issue - every revision of every page is saved, even deleted ones. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 23:42, 12 July 2011 (UTC)
::Sure. The difference is that with many anime images, especially character images, there are only a few distinct colors used. Hence rather than encoding them in a PNG that uses the entire RGB colorspace, one could simply include palette containing the few colors the image uses. The difference can be very large, with no visual drop. I could give you a few links to comparisons if you'd like (I'll upload them on an external website for now). Obviously bandwidth isn't a large issue (I'm guessing server hardware is more often than not), but anything that could save bulbapedia some bandwidth would be helpful, especially for larger images.

:Please sign your comments with four tildes. Are there not far too many wondermail codes for that page to be practical? [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 04:09, 21 July 2011 (UTC)

== Link Template ==

I want to make a new link template, but I don't know how. I looked on the article about it but it wasn't any help. Also how do you know how to make certain templates for your userpage.

[[User talk:Donyor|Donyor, Origin Form]] 05:29, 22 July 2011 (UTC)
:What do you want to make the link template for? Templates for the userspace are mostly just tables Use the preview button and removing code to figure out the table coding is the first step. Then, anything in three braces is a parameter (e.g. <nowiki>{{{test|default}}}</nowiki> is a parameter called "test" which defaults to "default") Parameters can be used to alter the outcome over different pages. If the parameter name is a number, then it doesn't need to be named when the template is used, as long as it is that number in the template, counting only unnamed parameters. (That's probably really confusing. Have a look at existing templates to get a better idea.) Also, remember that templates for the userspace should be made in the userspace, so they count towards your limit. They only get moved to the templatespace if they become widely used. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 10:49, 22 July 2011 (UTC)

Errrrr, is there a link to the template space for userspace templates, I don't know much wikicode.

[[User talk:Donyor|Donyor, Origin Form]] 14:35, 25 July 2011 (UTC)
:If you want to link to the templatespace, you can use the {{template|template}} template to easily format it like a template. If you want to use a template in the userspace, it works exactly as in the mainspace (just be careful not to include yourself in mainspace categories). Pages in the userspace can be included as templates by putting the full page name in braces, e.g. to include my nav template which is at the top of this page, I use <code><nowiki>{{User:Werdnae/Nav}}</nowiki></code>. If you're using a subpage as a template, then you can exclude the page it's included on from the call. e.g. on my userpage, the same template is called by <code><nowiki>{{/Nav}}</nowiki></code> Hope that helped. Feel free to ask more if you need to. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 19:59, 25 July 2011 (UTC)

== Axew ==

Axew and its evolutionary family are the only pure dragon evolutionary family where all the members are pure dragon. Shouldn't that be in the Trivia?

[[User talk:Donyor|Donyor, Origin Form]] 08:48, 22 July 2011 (UTC)
Make sure you mention that it's only for multi-member families, otherwise {{p|Druddigon}} says hi.

:At the moment. But for consistency it's fine. Just note in the edit summary that I gave you permission to add it, so that it doesn't get reverted. The idea with the rule is to help reduce the pointless additions to trivia while the server's throwing tantrums.

== Talk Page ==

How does the talk page health thing work? Does it stay fixed or go up/down? Also how do you archive talk page stuff?

[[User talk:Donyor|Donyor, Origin Form]] 03:22, 29 July 2011 (UTC)
:The talk page health bar is a calculation based on the size of the page. The health goes down as the page increases in size, reaching empty when the page reaches 100kB. It's rather complicated, but the coding for mine is [[User:Werdnae/Archive|here]] if you want to reference it. To archive your talk page, use the "move" button at the top of the page to move it to a new name in your user talk space (e.g. User talk:Donyor/Archive 1) Then change the redirect that's left behind to a link to the archive. (The link to a list of my talk page archives is attached to the health bar at the top of the page) [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 10:08, 29 July 2011 (UTC)

(See the Pokémon articles, see the infoboxes? Those are templates made for easier use, if you checked the source code of the infobox, you'd be very confused, so that's what templates would be for, to manage information neatlier).

== Leaf ==

You know what, I give up. Nobody can listen to reason.
I'm leaving not coming back etc... I' sure you have heard it before.
But before I do hear me out.

Leaf's name. Where did it come from?
She was not in the anime at all. If I'm wrong (and I'm 99% positive I'm not) what episode?
Her manga counterpart was Green. (Blue in Japan)
Her name is never officially stated in the games Pokemon Fire Red and Pokemon Leaf Green, which are the only games that she makes an appearance.
Leaf isn't THE default name, but simply one of the many that she can have if the player did not enter a name and is playing Leaf Green.
The only place where she is known as Leaf in an official source is, as a dummy trainer inside the game. (Probably to test battles or as a place holder) Furthermore this knowledge was originally obtained through illegal methods, by opening up the Rom in some program.

She has no official name.
If the name is based on internal data, then it's important to list that.
If it isn't based on internal data and she has no official name, Then its a fan name, so it's important to list that.
Why do you refuse to acknowledge this? After all this IS an online encyclopedia specializing in Pokemon, is it not? One would think that this would be important trivia.

Hey Werdnae, since you’re the head of games I’m coming to you with an issue I’ve noticed. I noticed that there is an inconsistency in the naming of Pokémon Leagues. It’s understandable that the Kanto and Johto leagues are named the Indigo league, but the page for the Pokémon league in Hoenn is named [[Hoenn League]], while Sinnoh and Unova are named “Pokémon Leauge (Sinnoh/Unova). Why are these two named differently from Hoenn? I think in order to keep consistency Hoenn should be moved to “Pokémon League (Hoenn)” or if there’s another solution maybe something else can be worked out. Any Thoughts? Thanks! [[User:Pokemaster97|--Pokemaster]][[User talk:Pokemaster97|97]] 04:59, 27 December 2011 (UTC)
:The Sinnoh and Unova ones are at that location because that's what they are called in-game. Likewise the Indigo league. Hoenn league. . . I don't know. Jo checked and a woman just outside Hoenn's Victory road says "The POKéMON LEAGUE is only a short distance after the VICTORY ROAD. If you've come this far, what choice do you have but to keep going?". So I'd say bring it up on the talk page, and see if anyone can provide a reason it should stay there. If not, we can move it to "Pokémon League (Hoenn)". [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 07:37, 27 December 2011 (UTC)
::Um, you two seem to be confused. The Sinnoh and Unova counterparts to [[Indigo League]] and [[Hoenn League]] are [[Sinnoh League]] and [[Unova League]], while the Kanto (Indigo) and Hoenn counterparts to [[Pokémon League (Sinnoh)]] and [[Pokémon League (Unova)]] are [[Indigo Plateau]] and [[Ever Grande City]]. The first group is the organizations (so includes the Gym Leaders, Elite Four, and Champion), the second group is the name of the place where the Elite Four and Champion reside (or where the Pokémon League tournament is held in the anime, which is why [[Mt. Silver]] is with them on the navigation template). --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 09:23, 27 December 2011 (UTC)
:::Oh I see what you are saying, the only other organizational page I saw was Hoenn's. Thanks for clearing that up for me. Sorry for trouble. [[User:Pokemaster97|--Pokemaster]][[User talk:Pokemaster97|97]] 15:45, 27 December 2011 (UTC)

== Help me Reword it and please restore my last glitch ==

Ok can you help me reword it? Ability Changing Glitch
This glitch is common in Pokemon XD Gale of Darkness. When a Pokemon is capable of having more than one ability, such as Golduck's Cloud Nine which can be tested or proven by using combinations such as Rain Dance + Thunder, Sunny Day + Solarbeam, or Hail + Blizzard, etc. and then during the weather effects Thunder or Blizzard misses or Solarbeam has to charge up even though it's sunny. K.O. the Pokemon and then get it from Miror B. Go to the PC and check the Pokemon's stats and it now has a 50% chance of changing its ability. It is possible now that the Golduck can have Damp even it appeared to have Cloud Nine in the first battle.
Another way of activating the glitch is to lose to a trainer that has a Shadow Pokemon that is capable of having more than one ability. Example, to trigger this glitch on Greevil enter the battle with his Moltres and Rhydon without an Electric move. If you use an Electric move, it will automatically reveal its ability and the glitch will fail. Save before you fight him the second time and you would have already snagged Lugia. Get into a battle and use an Electric attack on Moltres. Reset and then attempt to use an Electric type on Moltres again and have Rhydon block it with Lightningrod. This glitch has been confirmed on youtube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r0rEkxYGEuY

[edit]EXP Glitch
This glitch only works on Pokemon Colosseum. When your opponent is down to their last Pokemon, have one Pokemon use Perish Song while the other uses something to burn, Will-o-wisp, or poison, Toxic, to poison the enemy. Then DO NOT faint the Pokemon. If the Pokemon faints to any of your attacks, the glitch will fail. If it faints to the Toxic, your Pokemon will gain EXP Points. Then when the countdown of Perish Song starts, you'll gain the same amount of EXP Points you earned as for the EXP Points gained for the Pokemon that was defeated. EXP Points will be awarded twice to both Pokemon no matter which side they're on, left or right. This glitch was removed in Pokemon XD Gale of Darkness but was in Colosseum for unknown reasons.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=41_bnx_Zs_Q

If you feel like these don't follow the code of conduct, then I'm sorry but I post everything in my best grammar. I'm tired of people telling me I don't use good grammar because that is nonimportant and untrue. I am 15. You in general means the player, since I don't know what you name yourselves but respectively, what words should I use that still make sense? Anyway my article about the EXP Share glitch in the 4th gen game was removed. Could you JAs restore it please? I'm pretty sure I discovered an EXP Share glitch where your Pokemon would gain one less EXP Point if it was holding EXP Share and it defeated a Pokemon in battle that you know how many EXP Points it wages. ([[User:MichaelXD|MichaelXD]] 23:01, 1 January 2012 (UTC))
:I don't have time to do the full reword myself. If I did, I'd just have done it. For the final paragraph, it should go something like this:
::''"In [[Pokémon Colosseum]], an opponent's last Pokémon may give experience twice if it faints due to damage from a status effect while also affected by {{m|Perish Song}}. This was fixed in [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]]."''
:The idea is that rather than using "you" as a substitute for naming the player, you write it in such a way that you don't need to refer to the player in that manner at at all.

:For the Experience Share "glitch", all rounding goes downwards. If the experience rewarded would have been odd, (e.g. 101) then half of that gives in a number ending in .5 (in the example, 50.5). That is then rounded down (50), meaning that a total of one experience point is lost. It's not a glitch, it's how the calculation works. That's why it was removed from the glitch page.

:I don't care how old you are. You're still expected to follow the proper style of an encyclopedia when you add stuff here. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 23:19, 1 January 2012 (UTC)

Ok, I was saying that I didn't know how to word things. Was I not supposed to state how to perform the glitch but write the article about how the glitch operates? I thought that the Pokemon gaining one less EXP Point due to EXP Share was a glitch. When I use 2 Pokemon in double battle I usually think the one not battling with it earns the sum of the EXP Points earned while the Lucky Egg brings extra EXP Points. It's the same as having a traded Pokemon without Lucky Egg. I wasn't making an excuse. I just have never edited things for the public before so I don't know how anything should be worded around here. I have made an edit to include the game. Also there is a glitch on Pokemon XD. One is the ability changing glitch and another is the platform glitch. I'll try to get rid of I and you if that is causing you a pain. Again, I'm sorry. ([[User:MichaelXD|MichaelXD]] 15:06, 15 January 2012 (UTC))

== {{template|fiorepkmn}} Template ==

Instead of the Poké Assist linking to a type, wouldn't it make more sense to link it to the [[Poké Assist]] page at the respective section?--[[User:Chalkwriter|Chalk]][[User talk:Chalkwriter|writer]] 20:04, 3 January 2012 (UTC)
:Good idea. I've also changed the corresponding Almia template. I haven't changed the Oblivia template, as assists in Guardian Signs only use the assist type to determine the effectiveness of the assist, effect is dependent on the Pokémon.

== Location Images ==

Those images I tagged as unsatisfactory are fan-made. Look at them again. They are not in game screenshots. Pictures that are fan made are considered unsatisfactory and should be replaced. [[User:ZMT123|ZMT123]] 03:18, 13 January 2012 (UTC)

Never mind. You're right. They are composites. Some articles with screenshots like that have the unsatisfactory template on so I thought they were. [[User:ZMT123|ZMT123]] 03:21, 13 January 2012 (UTC)

== Error in EXP Points Group Fast & Medium Fast ==

Hi. I would like to inform that there seems to be an error in the EXP Points group. For my favorite video game Pokemon XD Gale of Darkness I wrote which EXP group every Pokemon was in. That includes Rapidash, the Shadow Pokemon that is snagged from Cipher Peon Kolest on Citadark Isle and I checked the amount of experience points my Ponyta has at level 28 in Pokemon Pearl and how many she has left to level 29. Hence I am raising her to level 30. When I checked my chart on Microsoft Excel, she seemed to be in the actual Fast group. Not the Medium fast group. You should be surprised that I just don't start randomly editing anywhere without any proof. Also I didn't know how to send a message before but no one removed my edit about battling Chobin. Only about the genders and abilities for anime Pokemon which I was warned for. I stopped because I didn't want to make whoever ran it angry. Ponyta and Rapidash have 1,000,000 at level 100, not 800,000. ([[User:MichaelXD|MichaelXD]] 13:41, 15 January 2012 (UTC))
:I just checked, and my Rapidash in White is in the Medium Fast group (216000 EXP at level 60). Can you perhaps use Rare Candies to get some level data (you don't need to save after using them; you can just reset and you won't lose any)? Also, I think your last statement s backwards. At level 100, we do say Ponyta and Rapidash have 1,000,000 EXP; if it were in the Fast group, it would have 800,000. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 15:45, 15 January 2012 (UTC)

I did train Rapidash to level 60 once for the Orre Colosseum and I'm looking at my chart I got from here. Is the table wrong or something? I only have one Rare Candy and I'll have to see again either when I get Rapidash in Pearl or battle a Cipher Peon on Citadark Isle again who has a Rapidash and then purify it. I didn't catch Rapidash in my last game because I rushed and was trying to get a glitch to work that only operates on Citadark Isle. ([[User:MichaelXD|MichaelXD]] 00:12, 16 January 2012 (UTC))

Edit, ok my table is wrong perhaps. I got in the mix when I wrote my table. So you're right and I'm wrong. I thought Medium Fast was right next to Erratic. ([[User:MichaelXD|MichaelXD]] 00:17, 16 January 2012 (UTC))

==Route Maps==

Hello, Werdnae. I saw some edits that you and ZMT123 made regarding route maps. You undid his edits saying that those composite images were ok. However, I was told on the forums some time ago that those pictures should be replaced because they were self made and are actually not from the game. [http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/f195/suggestions-ideas-problems-39604/index67.html#post2522793 Here] was where I asked about this issue. Have things changed? --[[User:HoennMaster|Hoenn]][[User talk:HoennMaster|Master]] 17:10, 17 January 2012 (UTC)
:The tile-composite images are accurate representations of the in-game maps and are quite high quality, they're not bad images and don't need to be tagged as such. While they should ''eventually'' be replaced with proper ripped maps, they're certainly not top priority due to fair quality & proper representation. Now, grainy scanned maps; those are bad and should be tagged for ''immediate replacement'' with high quality maps. - [[User:Kogoro|'''Kogoro''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''Talk to me''']] - 08:46, 18 January 2012 (UTC)

A little while ago, I asked how to get the template onto the move pages under the main template.

== Brother's Friend Didn't get an Activation Notice Email ==

My brother's friend says he signed up with an account a couple weeks ago. I didn't see him create the account. There were very little names. He signed up with the name ShadowLugia and he wanted to come on here to make edits, have a profile, contact some people, even interact with me and he has gotten no email in his inbox. I believe that he's still trying to help us with our situation that I'm not a sock of my sibling and he has a sibling of his own. He wants to explain that after he proves that we're not him. My brother also has a friend named Ruckus Jorgee. If he has tried to register and received no activation notice email, please send one to him too.

Excuse me. I have a question about this. If a member informs the staff or admin, creator, or webmaster of a site, do they communicate about it with other staff so that they don't falsely accuse them of ban evasion or sockpuppeting because that's what my brother's friend Ruckus Jorgee was accused of on multiple forums. I'm sure you've heard of him here in an argument in relation to serebii when he saw some guy named ShinyMew get on the forum who he claims is Jess. Ruckus Jorgee says he is Max's friend as well.

That's why on forums I am more prone to screening a long message and having my friend check it on his word document when I'm at his house on my computer. Not my brother's because he hasn't been around. ([[User:MichaelXD|MichaelXD]] 17:05, 22 February 2012 (UTC))

== I'm Sorry but please help a friend of my brother ==

I didn't mean to spam all those pages. I just wanted a response. I contacted Magnedeth last night after Cycling Road's friend was concerned about his account that he made at school and can never sign into because he never received an Account Activation Notice email. All I got as a response was "This doesn't pass the duck test." I don't know what that means. He signed up with the name ShadowLugia. ShadowLugia is Cycling Road's friend Max and when he went to sign up that name wasn't available so he had to keep writing in random names to get an account on here. Cycling Road also has a friend named Ruckus Jorgee. I also don't care about what Serebii wrote on his profile last year because it isn't true. He isn't IMMORAL or AMORAL at all. He is a nice grown gentleman and also Magnedeth's title changing "What Can I do to be unbanned from the forum" to "Unbanned from Forum" seems misleading. Who was unbanned if it says that?

== Garchomp and Hydreigon half decks ==

There isn't any indication that they will be featured as Pokémon-EX. All Pokémon-EX so far have been (basic) Legendary Pokémon. Plus, even if they were, their artwork shows they likely won't be EXs (they don't have CGI artwork which is basically a staple in regular EXs), at least in these half decks. What you wrote was pure speculation. Another thing is, how do you know that Roserade and Foongus will be Grass type and not Psychic types and how do you know that Houndoom will be Fire-type and not Dark-type? It seems to me that, since Drifloon is in the deck, Roserade and Foongus will most likely be Psychic-types too, but since anything isn't confirmed, what should be in the page is that they could be featured with either type. [[User:Metalizard|Metalizard]] 18:24, 2 February 2012 (UTC)
:May I ask why you didn't just fix it instead of bitching at me? So I made a mistake. I was rushing through those pages when I made them because I had to get to class. You could have easily fixed it and posted an edit summary on why you removed things. I pay attention to all edits on everything I've ever created. I would have noticed, and in fact, I saw your edits before you posted this talk page message to me. Also, they do have the CGI "break the border" artwork featured on EX's. It is quite possibly that these Pokémon can be EX's, which is why I said "and may feature it as a {{TCG|Pokémon-EX}} card". There is evidence that supports it, and it was written in a way that represents that it both may and may not be an EX. Furthermore, I don't see you creating pages, so relax, and back down a bit. You're coming off as quite rude. ''[[User:Maverick Nate|'''Maverick''']][[User talk:Maverick Nate|'''Nate''']]'' 18:36, 2 February 2012 (UTC)
::lol, you're the one who's being rude! If I sounded rude, it wasn't the intention. I just came here to warn you about it because if I just had done it without telling you, you would probably undo it all, like it usually happens :\. First, I didn't fix the types, because I wasn't really sure on how to change that (that's why I came here to remind you about it). Second, no, they don't have the CGI art that breaks the border, they clealy have hand-drawn art (you should probably look closer). And there's no evidence they will be EX's like you're saying and I don't think it's quite possible at all because of the reasons I said earlier (at least, not in these half decks; the main set may be a different story). [[User:Metalizard|Metalizard]] 05:33, 3 February 2012 (UTC)

== Brother's Friend Never got an Activation Notice Email ==

My brother's friend says he signed up with an account a couple weeks ago. I didn't see him create the account. There were very little names. He signed up with the name ShadowLugia and he wanted to come on here to make edits, have a profile, contact some people, even interact with me and he has gotten no email in his inbox. I believe that he's still trying to help us with our situation that I'm not a sock of my sibling and he has a sibling of his own. He wants to explain that after he proves that we're not him. My brother also has a friend named Ruckus Jorgee. If he has tried to register and received no activation notice email, please send one to him too. He is neither IMMORAL or AMORAL because whatever Serebii said to him on his profile about a year ago isn't true. ([[User:MichaelXD|MichaelXD]] 19:42, 25 February 2012 (UTC))

== Ciao! ==

I'd like to talk you about the Finnish titles for one more time. The last time I contacted you, I actually lied, because I still had some Finnish Battle Frontier titles left. Now I'm sure that we now have every Finnish title of every Finnish dubbed episodes of Pokémon (I also keep filling the new titles as they come out). But I spotted one weird thing: I no matter how I searched, the titles of [[AG178]]-[[AG183]] and [[AG186]]-[[AG187]] remained undubbed. I'm a bit confused: the article [[Pokémon in Finland]] says that these episodes should have been dubbed, but there is no sign of dubbed titles. I know a Finnish user who has connections to behind the scenes (some kind of), but he/she isn't always active, and he/she is now having a "brake", so I turned to you. I don't know if you know anything about this, but I still try. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] 14:25, 5 June 2011 (UTC)

:They mean {{wp|byte}} change of the page. Generally, one character is one byte and one Japanese or another special character is three bytes.

::::In the original version, the Reverse Word is referred to as やぶれた世界, which is the Japanese name for Distortion World.

== Notes and Wiki-styles ==

Regarding your revert in [[Johto Route 45]], I would like to point out that the data had once been the way I edited it to be now, but someone had changed it to the false figures. By adding the note, we eliminate the possibility of someone changing them back thinking that there has just been a typo. IMHO opinions should not be more important than what is practical, this Wiki is a source of information, not a piece of art. --[[User:Black Eagle|Black Eagle]] 17:33, 9 October 2011 (UTC) EDIT: Also, there are numerous notes on individual Pokemons that say "This type combination is unique only to this Pokemon"...how does this differ from "This pond behaves differently from all other ponds in the game." --[[User:Black Eagle|Black Eagle]] 17:35, 9 October 2011 (UTC)
:Come to think of it, it wasn't necessary to revert you edit fully. However, saying ''"Even though it seems unlikely and inaccurate"'' on an article isn't really appropriate.--'''[[User:Dennou Zenshi|電禅]][[User talk:Dennou Zenshi|Den Zen]]''' 17:47, 9 October 2011 (UTC)

In response, {{u|Force Fire}} changed it back to "Unknown", and said on the talk page that its gender wasn't confirmed, that gender differences didn't apply due to Wobbuffet entering the main cast before Generation IV, and that its crush on Kirlia didn't count as those can be either gender.

== I Don't Want to Start an Edit War, but... ==

Hi DZ. I recently saw that you undid my edit to the mainspace article on the Pokédex, and in the summary, it said, "unfortunately, that doesn't fit this site". I was just wondering, in your eyes, why does it not? I just wanted to give the people that are new to Pokémon video games a way to find out how to use the Pokédex, since it is an essential asset for any and all Pokémon Trainers. Also, I had something similar to the section that you removed in one of my previous edits to the page, which was removed a few weeks later. I was actually kinda sad about that, and as a result, I left Bulbapedia for a few weeks a little while back due to that and other factors. So I'm wondering: Why does it not "fit this site" in your eyes and how can I make it so that it does, if possible? Thanks!

:Well, {{tt|it wasn't really written according to the {{bp|Manual of style}}|ironically, it's mentioned in your Rule 5}}; "How to operate the Unova Pokédex" isn't a good name for a section, and your text didn't have {{bp|link templates}} or paragraphs. Of course, you can re-add the text if it's written properly.--'''[[User:Dennou Zenshi|電禅]][[User talk:Dennou Zenshi|Den Zen]]''' 21:13, 7 January 2012 (UTC)
::Got it! Thanks! From now on, I think I'll pre-write edits on (actual) paper before I do it on Bulbapedia! Of course it'll take longer to make changes, but heck, it's worth the wait for something new, especially if it lives up to its publicity, like a new userpage, or a new iPod or something like that.

== BW069 ==

Any resemblance between "塔を登れ" and "タワーオブヘブン"? I am aware of the difference, just curious since the in-game name of Celestial Tower is タワーオブヘブン, but the episode title uses Kanji. Not to mention, Celestial is also near Mistralton City. ♫♪ [[User:Adyniz|'''エイデ''']][[User talk:Adyniz|'''ィニズ''']] ♪♫ 13:33, 8 February 2012 (UTC)
:Yes, there's a small chance that it's the same tower, but I don't remember any episode in the Japanese version where a location has had a different name. Also, "天空" in the title means {{wp|sky}} instead of {{wp|heaven}}.-'''[[User:Dennou Zenshi|電禅]][[User talk:Dennou Zenshi|Den Zen]]''' 13:50, 8 February 2012 (UTC)
::塔を登れ means "climb the tower". I don't really think they would assign kanji to something that is in English (except for ateji).

Could you word the origin similar to how [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Ivysaur_%28Base_Set_2_44%29#Origin this] is worded for Vine Whip? That's the one I would like. I'm trying to push "exact or nothing", and I don't want a weird exception for Heavy Metal. If it isn't exact, the next step is noting a spelling variant. A similar situation goes for [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Special%3ASearch&search=%E3%81%BB%E3%81%AE%E3%81%8A%E3%83%91%E3%83%B3%E3%83%81&fulltext=Search The pre BW Fire Punch] if you would also like to go aournd and standardize these like Ivysaur, somehow.

== Swedish titles ==

I've discovered that from an address known as pocketmonsters dot com you can find titles from Pokémon anime episodes in different language. And since Sweden is pretty close to Finland and our other national language, I've started adding Swedish titles to episodes that still lack them. However, I've noticed that there are so many titles to be added that it takes too much time of my computer using, so could you please some favor for me by addind at least some titles? I don't know how well you understand/speak Swedish, but if you could find a free spot in your schedule, could you do it? You can use Google Translate if you find it hard, but also remember that those translations aren't always quite correct. I'm pretty sure that all season 1 titles are already in Bulbapedia and I've added every single DP titles as well as all BW titles I could find. Thank you already beforehand. :) --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] 16:52, 23 February 2012 (UTC)

== Brother's Friend Never got an Activation Notice Email ==

My brother's friend says he signed up with an account a couple weeks ago. I didn't see him create the account. There were very little names. He signed up with the name ShadowLugia and he wanted to come on here to make edits, have a profile, contact some people, even interact with me and he has gotten no email in his inbox. I believe that he's still trying to help us with our situation that I'm not a sock of my sibling and he has a sibling of his own. He wants to explain that after he proves that we're not him. My brother also has a friend named Ruckus Jorgee. If he has tried to register and received no activation notice email, please send one to him too. He is neither IMMORAL or AMORAL because whatever Serebii said to him on his profile about a year ago isn't true. ([[User:MichaelXD|MichaelXD]] 19:34, 25 February 2012 (UTC))

By creating your account you are now able to edit pages, join discussions, and expand the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia. Before you jump in, here are some ground rules:
* Be nice to everyone. It's in the {{bp|code of conduct}}.
* Make good edits. Preview them before you save to make sure they're perfect the first time around.
* Use {{bp|wikicode}} and {{bp|link templates}} when adding content to a page.
* Use proper grammar and spelling, and read the {{bp|manual of style}}.
* You can't create a userpage until you've added to the encyclopedia. It's a privilege. See the {{bp|userspace policy}}.
* Use {{bp|Talk page policy|talk pages}} to resolve editing disputes. Don't "edit war," or constantly re-edit/undo the same thing on a page.
* If you have a question about something, be proactive. Take a look at our {{bp|FAQ}}. If you're still stuck, ask for help. The {{bp|staff}} won't bite.
* Sign all talk page posts with four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>). This will turn into your name and the time you wrote the comment.

== Page edits ==

Please read the {{bp|Manual of Style}} before making more edits to pages. Edits should not be started with "edit" or be written in a conversational manner. Also, if someone removes your edit, ''do not'' just make it again. Doing so is known as edit warring and is not a good thing. Bring it up on the talk page instead - where a conversational style like your previous edit had would be more appropriate. That said, if you want to say "I'm not making this up" you'll need some kind of proof. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 03:35, 21 December 2011 (UTC)

==Suggestion for the Wiki==
Where would i post a suggestion for the wiki? Would i ask you... or do I go to the forums. If i do ask you, what would you think about a new project: Pokémon pronunciation. After their names on every Pokémon's page, there should be a pronunciation key. I know Nintendo never gave pronunciation keys, but with the anime, we should be able to get the pronunciations. I only say this because I personally hate not knowing how to pronounce a Pokémon's name, and there's a lot I don't know, and I don't wan to go find what anime episode they are in to listen to when a character says there name. To be honest, I'm not really good with forums, so if this is something that should be brought to the attention of the forums, could you help me set it up? Thank you... [[User:Toadstool|Toadstool]] 23:53, 22 June 2011 (UTC)
:The issue with pronounciations, it the official handbooks have one, the 3D games usually have a different one, the anime often has a third different one, and in some cases the movies have a fourth.

These are projects I started that I really don't want to take the time to finish. I'd like them to be presented to the Pokémon community for other people to continue work on them.

I enjoyed seeing graphs in an early strategy guide for Pokémon. I don't understand why they stopped using that style of graph and began using numbers of blocks/circles to represent the strength of a Pokémon's Stats. Graphs included in the above-linked albums are more accurate representations of Pokémon's Base Stats and maximum and minimum stats with Hindering, Neutral, and Beneficial Natures.

The files in the "Pokemon Project Base Stat Graphs" album include a blank Base Stats graph, Base Stat comparison charts by evolution chain, and Base Stat graphs for the following Pokémon:

Pokemon #001-#151, all evolutions and/or pre-evolutions of Pokémon #001-#151 not included in those numbers (where applicable), Shuckle, Shedinja, Arceus, Zekrom, and Reshiram

The "Pokemon Project Maximum and Minimum Stat Graphs" (M&MSGs) album includes blank M&MSGs and M&MSGs for the Pokémon listed above. It also contains the albums "Attack Special Attack Defense Special Defense," "HP_," and "Speed." These albums contain color-coded pixels indicating M&MS based on Base Stats. These files can be used in conjunction with a blank M&MSG to more easily make a new M&MSG for a Pokémon.

I already have a guide on how to construct files ready to go.

The "01Items" Album and its sub-albums contain a small amount of files. These files are the basis of a much larger, more time-consuming subproject of graphing Pokémon's M&MS while holding certain items that affect Pokémon's Stats (not the Base Power of Moves).

I don't guarantee all of the information I've graphed is correct.

Thank you for your time and reading. I hope someone or some people can take the reigns of these projects and see them through to completion. [[User:Googlebonker|Googlebonker]] 19:34, 20 July 2011 (UTC)
:The graphs are far less accurate and exact than our bar style. It would also be extremely difficult to implement as opposed to our coded templates. I appreciate the effort and suggestion, but it isnt really feasible. Also, please use the preview button instead of making multiple small edits. -- '''[[User:MAGNEDETH|MAG]][[Special:Contributions/MAGNEDETH|NE]][[User talk:MAGNEDETH|DETH]]''' 04:01, 21 July 2011 (UTC)

I can understand about the feasibility, but far less accurate? Did you open those files or simply look at the thumbnails? Isn`t it possible to have a small version of a picture that shows the full version when a mouse cursor`s tip pixel is placed over any of the small version`s position?

[[User:Googlebonker|Googlebonker]] 06:09, 21 July 2011 (UTC)
::Not with the current version of Mediawiki. We can only have the thumbnail on the page, and when clicked, it loads the image page. It's less desirable than what we have at the moment. The bars are an easy enough way to compare them, for me at least easier, since they all go in the same direction. Also, take in mind that the current template uses relatively little loading - it doesn't use any images from the archives. Even in the show/hides we have, the images are still all loaded when the page is, so a large image would negatively imact the loading times.

Hey Mag, I'm having some issues, and I'd thought I'd try and see if you can tell me how to fix them. So, everytime I X-out of the internet window, Bulbapedia logs me out. And I have to log in all over again. However, if I just press log in, and then click the back button, I'm logged in. It's been doing it since Bulbapedia was locked down last week.

== Internamespace redirects ==

Hey there. I was bumming around today and I realized that we don't have many, if any, redirects from the mainspace to the Bulbapedia namespace. If somebody wants to find out, say, who the administrators are, they're probably going to type in "Administrators" or "Admins" into the search bar, which will get them nowhere. Well, not ''nowhere''. They'd have to click around for it. Would you be opposed to having redirects from the mainspace for some of the larger items in the Bulbapedia namespace? Like, the big policies, usergroups, etc. I don't see any inherent problem with it, but I figure there might be some reason why we don't have them.

== Watchlist Curiousity ==

Hi '''MAGNEDETH'''. So here's the thing: A few days ago, I was looking at my watchlist, something I do every now and again, and I saw something on it that made me wonder what it was for. That thing is the little number in parentheses next to the username. You know, the little number that's either green or red. That thing. Normally, I would just disregard it entirely and continue with whatever I was doing, but this time, I stopped to wonder, "Why is this thing here? What is it even for?" And for everyone else out there looking at this, I'll insert a "typed picture" as well to show what I'm talking about. And this is an actual example from my watchlist. So here it is everyone:

== MAJOR PROBLEM!!!!! ==

Hey Mag. (Do you mind if I call you that?) Okay, so here's my problem: while I was on the forums, checking to see if I got any new PMs or replies to my posts or something, I tried to load the page to my profile page and my browser (IE9) said, "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage". I tried loading many other pages and they all came up with the same thing! I even tried to get there via the forum link at the bottom of the Main Page! Still nothing! And the worst thing is, I can't access the problem reporting thread on the forums because it's down too! What the heck happened?! Why has the forum betrayed me?!?! Is the forum down for you too? If it is, then I'm guessing that it's undergoing maintenance. If not, then it's probably a problem with my Internet or some other thing. WHY ARE THE FORUMS NOT WORKING?!?! I <3 the forums! They're so much fun to use! So to make a long story short, the forums aren't working and I want to know why this is so. Anyway, I'm pretty much done here. BAI! :D 〜[[User:Pikachu9000|'''Pikachu''']][[User talk:Pikachu9000|'''9000''']] 21:37, 9 November 2011 (UTC)

== Project Link Templates ==

Hi, Please don't laugh at me after reading this! 
I think that we should have a "PROJECT LINK TEMPLATES" (or a better name) which aims at adding links to the article and making new templates. Link templates are an essential part of an article, especially in Bulbapedia. I know that it's weird idea but just think about this.

== Bulbapedia Staff ==
Hello, I heard Bulbapedia is currently hiring. I have been coming to this site for years and I am very much interested.

I assume I would have to need an account on the Bulbaforums first. It doesn't even let me create an account, though...
[[User:Philosophical-Psychological Informist Togekiss|Philosophical-Psychological Informist Togekiss]] 01:11, 19 November 2011 (UTC)
:What is it saying when you try to make an account? That'll likely tell you what needs to be done differently. Note that, unlike the Bulbawiki accounts, the forums account isn't linked - you'll have to create an account there, rather than just logging is with your Bulbapedia username and password as you would do on, say, Bulbanews.

:On the staff application front, as is stated on the news article, you need to have more than 500 mainspace contributions. You're about 450 short. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 03:54, 19 November 2011 (UTC)

== Conversations on the same page ==

Having replies on the same page is not necessary: it has always been personal preference (which can be seen by the few users who state on the top of their page that they like messages together, such as {{u|Kogoro}}). Additionally, [[Bulbapedia:Talk page policy|according to the talk page policy]], when you removed the comment from masatoshi's page, you broke the part of the talk page etiquette that says : "Removing comments is also frowned upon." No where does it state that they need to be on the same userpage when talking to someone, and it shouldn't (we can't force a certain personal preference). Telling the person to do it that way from now on would have been the appropriate action, without removing the comment. The history is now on Masatoshi's page, and if looking at the history on DigiKatana's page, it appears that you are posting messages with someone else's signature (which appears to be a much larger offense). Moral: You can't force users to post on the same page. You can ask them to do that, but as it is personal preference, you cannot force it upon them.

I was unfairly banned from the forum just because I told everyone I had a brother. There seems to be a mistake. He said that he had a friend who was banned but I never even mentioned his friend as I didn't know that person in the first place. I even said his name was Cycling Road and I am Cycling Road's brother and Cycling Road is Max's friend. There's nothing I can do about that. I do have a different birth certificate than them that I'm the youngest out of all his friends. I don't know who's admin of the forum so if this issue needs to be brought up to Archaic, let me know. My brother also had a different friend on who was here last year. ([[User:MichaelXD|MichaelXD]] 18:34, 2 February 2012 (UTC))

== Regarding my Brother's Friend's Account ==

My brother's friend attempted to make an account on here a while ago. His name wasn't available. He couldn't find a name. He signed up as ShadowLugia with his email address and he wants to talk to people, have a profile, and post edits. He has another friend from BMGF and serebii from his high school named Ruckus Jorgee who my brother is a good friend with and is NOT AMORAL or IMMORAL; I don't care what Serebii said on his profile. It is untrue. Can you send him ShadowLugia a password to sign up with as he told me to send one of the mods a message as he's still looking for his phone charger so he can get me on the sites, then he's going to talk about his sibling of his own. ShadowLugia or Max claims he has a sister. ([[User:MichaelXD|MichaelXD]] 01:06, 25 February 2012 (UTC))

== Wikipedia ==

I have noticed that Wikipedia feels that we are not good enough for page creation, as they have deleted previous pages for Bulbapedia, and no longer allow new ones. However, they use this site for some of the Pokémon information, such a if you search "Bulbapedia", you get hundereds of hits. Do you think something should be done about that? {{unsigned|Rsrdaman}}
:Do I think we deserve a page? Yes. We are one of the largest, and more specifically, highest quality user based wiki's on the net.

==Suggestion for the Wiki==
Where would i post a suggestion for the wiki? Would i ask you... or do I go to the forums. If i do ask you, what would you think about a new project: Pokémon pronunciation. After their names on every Pokémon's page, there should be a pronunciation key. I know Nintendo never gave pronunciation keys, but with the anime, we should be able to get the pronunciations. I only say this because I personally hate not knowing how to pronounce a Pokémon's name, and there's a lot I don't know, and I don't wan to go find what anime episode they are in to listen to when a character says there name. To be honest, I'm not really good with forums, so if this is something that should be brought to the attention of the forums, could you help me set it up? Thank you... [[User:Toadstool|Toadstool]] 23:53, 22 June 2011 (UTC)
:The issue with pronounciations, it the official handbooks have one, the 3D games usually have a different one, the anime often has a third different one, and in some cases the movies have a fourth.

== Large-Scale Pokémon Graph Projects ==

Hello!

[http://s49.photobucket.com/albums/f293/Googlebonker/Pokemon%20Project%20Base%20Stat%20Graphs/][http://s49.photobucket.com/albums/f293/Googlebonker/Pokemon%20Project%20Maximum%20and%20Minimum%20Stat%20Graphs/]

If those don't work, go to photobucket.com and search "Googlebonker."

These are projects I started that I really don't want to take the time to finish. I'd like them to be presented to the Pokémon community for other people to continue work on them.

I enjoyed seeing graphs in an early strategy guide for Pokémon. I don't understand why they stopped using that style of graph and began using numbers of blocks/circles to represent the strength of a Pokémon's Stats. Graphs included in the above-linked albums are more accurate representations of Pokémon's Base Stats and maximum and minimum stats with Hindering, Neutral, and Beneficial Natures.

The files in the "Pokemon Project Base Stat Graphs" album include a blank Base Stats graph, Base Stat comparison charts by evolution chain, and Base Stat graphs for the following Pokémon:

Pokemon #001-#151, all evolutions and/or pre-evolutions of Pokémon #001-#151 not included in those numbers (where applicable), Shuckle, Shedinja, Arceus, Zekrom, and Reshiram

The "Pokemon Project Maximum and Minimum Stat Graphs" (M&MSGs) album includes blank M&MSGs and M&MSGs for the Pokémon listed above. It also contains the albums "Attack Special Attack Defense Special Defense," "HP_," and "Speed." These albums contain color-coded pixels indicating M&MS based on Base Stats. These files can be used in conjunction with a blank M&MSG to more easily make a new M&MSG for a Pokémon.

I already have a guide on how to construct files ready to go.

The "01Items" Album and its sub-albums contain a small amount of files. These files are the basis of a much larger, more time-consuming subproject of graphing Pokémon's M&MS while holding certain items that affect Pokémon's Stats (not the Base Power of Moves).

I don't guarantee all of the information I've graphed is correct.

Thank you for your time and reading. I hope someone or some people can take the reigns of these projects and see them through to completion. [[User:Googlebonker|Googlebonker]] 19:34, 20 July 2011 (UTC)
:The graphs are far less accurate and exact than our bar style. It would also be extremely difficult to implement as opposed to our coded templates. I appreciate the effort and suggestion, but it isnt really feasible. Also, please use the preview button instead of making multiple small edits. -- '''[[User:MAGNEDETH|MAG]][[Special:Contributions/MAGNEDETH|NE]][[User talk:MAGNEDETH|DETH]]''' 04:01, 21 July 2011 (UTC)

I can understand about the feasibility, but far less accurate? Did you open those files or simply look at the thumbnails? Isn`t it possible to have a small version of a picture that shows the full version when a mouse cursor`s tip pixel is placed over any of the small version`s position?

[[User:Googlebonker|Googlebonker]] 06:09, 21 July 2011 (UTC)
::Not with the current version of Mediawiki. We can only have the thumbnail on the page, and when clicked, it loads the image page. It's less desirable than what we have at the moment. The bars are an easy enough way to compare them, for me at least easier, since they all go in the same direction. Also, take in mind that the current template uses relatively little loading - it doesn't use any images from the archives. Even in the show/hides we have, the images are still all loaded when the page is, so a large image would negatively imact the loading times.

:Excuse me MAGNEDETH, I hope you don't mind me butting into your page. Arceusc1405, trivia isn't ALWAYS being added. There are some people that can edit a piece of trivial information.

== External Links Update for Gen 5 ==

I noticed that the external links sections of Pokémon pages still haven't been updated for Gen V. I would be happy to update them myself if my account had the permission to do that, but in lieu of that I put the updated code in the Talk page for each one under the heading "Proposed Gen 5 Update". Obviously if you don't agree with the changes I'm proposing you don't have to implement them:

Hey Mag, I'm having some issues, and I'd thought I'd try and see if you can tell me how to fix them. So, everytime I X-out of the internet window, Bulbapedia logs me out. And I have to log in all over again. However, if I just press log in, and then click the back button, I'm logged in. It's been doing it since Bulbapedia was locked down last week. Got any idea what's causing it, because this has never happened before. [[User:Littlmiget123|Littlmiget123]] 17:08, 29 August 2011 (UTC)

== Internamespace redirects ==

Hey there. I was bumming around today and I realized that we don't have many, if any, redirects from the mainspace to the Bulbapedia namespace. If somebody wants to find out, say, who the administrators are, they're probably going to type in "Administrators" or "Admins" into the search bar, which will get them nowhere. Well, not ''nowhere''. They'd have to click around for it. Would you be opposed to having redirects from the mainspace for some of the larger items in the Bulbapedia namespace? Like, the big policies, usergroups, etc. I don't see any inherent problem with it, but I figure there might be some reason why we don't have them.

== Watchlist Curiousity ==

Hi '''MAGNEDETH'''. So here's the thing: A few days ago, I was looking at my watchlist, something I do every now and again, and I saw something on it that made me wonder what it was for. That thing is the little number in parentheses next to the username. You know, the little number that's either green or red. That thing. Normally, I would just disregard it entirely and continue with whatever I was doing, but this time, I stopped to wonder, "Why is this thing here? What is it even for?" And for everyone else out there looking at this, I'll insert a "typed picture" as well to show what I'm talking about. And this is an actual example from my watchlist. So here it is everyone:

Hello, I heard Bulbapedia is currently hiring. I have been coming to this site for years and I am very much interested.

I assume I would have to need an account on the Bulbaforums first. It doesn't even let me create an account, though...
[[User:Philosophical-Psychological Informist Togekiss|Philosophical-Psychological Informist Togekiss]] 01:11, 19 November 2011 (UTC)
:What is it saying when you try to make an account? That'll likely tell you what needs to be done differently. Note that, unlike the Bulbawiki accounts, the forums account isn't linked - you'll have to create an account there, rather than just logging is with your Bulbapedia username and password as you would do on, say, Bulbanews.

:On the staff application front, as is stated on the news article, you need to have more than 500 mainspace contributions. You're about 450 short. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 03:54, 19 November 2011 (UTC)

== Conversations on the same page ==

Having replies on the same page is not necessary: it has always been personal preference (which can be seen by the few users who state on the top of their page that they like messages together, such as {{u|Kogoro}}). Additionally, [[Bulbapedia:Talk page policy|according to the talk page policy]], when you removed the comment from masatoshi's page, you broke the part of the talk page etiquette that says : "Removing comments is also frowned upon." No where does it state that they need to be on the same userpage when talking to someone, and it shouldn't (we can't force a certain personal preference). Telling the person to do it that way from now on would have been the appropriate action, without removing the comment. The history is now on Masatoshi's page, and if looking at the history on DigiKatana's page, it appears that you are posting messages with someone else's signature (which appears to be a much larger offense). Moral: You can't force users to post on the same page. You can ask them to do that, but as it is personal preference, you cannot force it upon them.

==Unbanned from the forum==

I was unfairly banned from the forum just because I told everyone I had a brother. There seems to be a mistake. He said that he had a friend who was banned but I never even mentioned his friend as I didn't know that person in the first place. I even said his name was Cycling Road and I am Cycling Road's brother and Cycling Road is Max's friend. There's nothing I can do about that. I do have a different birth certificate than them that I'm the youngest out of all his friends. I don't know who's admin of the forum so if this issue needs to be brought up to Archaic, let me know.

== Regarding my Brother's Friend's Account ==

My brother's friend attempted to make an account on here a while ago. His name wasn't available. He couldn't find a name. He signed up as ShadowLugia with his email address and he wants to talk to people, have a profile, and post edits. He has another friend from BMGF and serebii from his high school named Ruckus Jorgee who my brother is a good friend with and is NOT AMORAL or IMMORAL; I don't care what Serebii said on his profile. It is untrue. Can you send him ShadowLugia a password to sign up with as he told me to send one of the mods a message as he's still looking for his phone charger so he can get me on the sites, then he's going to talk about his sibling of his own. ShadowLugia or Max claims he has a sister. ([[User:MichaelXD|MichaelXD]] 01:06, 25 February 2012 (UTC))

I have noticed that Wikipedia feels that we are not good enough for page creation, as they have deleted previous pages for Bulbapedia, and no longer allow new ones. However, they use this site for some of the Pokémon information, such a if you search "Bulbapedia", you get hundereds of hits. Do you think something should be done about that? {{unsigned|Rsrdaman}}

==Suggestion for the Wiki==
Where would i post a suggestion for the wiki? Would i ask you... or do I go to the forums. If i do ask you, what would you think about a new project: Pokémon pronunciation. After their names on every Pokémon's page, there should be a pronunciation key. I know Nintendo never gave pronunciation keys, but with the anime, we should be able to get the pronunciations. I only say this because I personally hate not knowing how to pronounce a Pokémon's name, and there's a lot I don't know, and I don't wan to go find what anime episode they are in to listen to when a character says there name. To be honest, I'm not really good with forums, so if this is something that should be brought to the attention of the forums, could you help me set it up? Thank you... [[User:Toadstool|Toadstool]] 23:53, 22 June 2011 (UTC)
:The issue with pronounciations, it the official handbooks have one, the 3D games usually have a different one, the anime often has a third different one, and in some cases the movies have a fourth. Until we can get consistency across all the different media, it's going to be difficult to implement. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 02:44, 23 June 2011 (UTC)

== Large-Scale Pokémon Graph Projects ==

Hello!

[http://s49.photobucket.com/albums/f293/Googlebonker/Pokemon%20Project%20Base%20Stat%20Graphs/][http://s49.photobucket.com/albums/f293/Googlebonker/Pokemon%20Project%20Maximum%20and%20Minimum%20Stat%20Graphs/]

If those don't work, go to photobucket.com and search "Googlebonker."

These are projects I started that I really don't want to take the time to finish. I'd like them to be presented to the Pokémon community for other people to continue work on them.

I enjoyed seeing graphs in an early strategy guide for Pokémon. I don't understand why they stopped using that style of graph and began using numbers of blocks/circles to represent the strength of a Pokémon's Stats. Graphs included in the above-linked albums are more accurate representations of Pokémon's Base Stats and maximum and minimum stats with Hindering, Neutral, and Beneficial Natures.

The files in the "Pokemon Project Base Stat Graphs" album include a blank Base Stats graph, Base Stat comparison charts by evolution chain, and Base Stat graphs for the following Pokémon:

Pokemon #001-#151, all evolutions and/or pre-evolutions of Pokémon #001-#151 not included in those numbers (where applicable), Shuckle, Shedinja, Arceus, Zekrom, and Reshiram

The "Pokemon Project Maximum and Minimum Stat Graphs" (M&MSGs) album includes blank M&MSGs and M&MSGs for the Pokémon listed above. It also contains the albums "Attack Special Attack Defense Special Defense," "HP_," and "Speed." These albums contain color-coded pixels indicating M&MS based on Base Stats. These files can be used in conjunction with a blank M&MSG to more easily make a new M&MSG for a Pokémon.

I already have a guide on how to construct files ready to go.

The "01Items" Album and its sub-albums contain a small amount of files. These files are the basis of a much larger, more time-consuming subproject of graphing Pokémon's M&MS while holding certain items that affect Pokémon's Stats (not the Base Power of Moves).

I don't guarantee all of the information I've graphed is correct.

Thank you for your time and reading. I hope someone or some people can take the reigns of these projects and see them through to completion. [[User:Googlebonker|Googlebonker]] 19:34, 20 July 2011 (UTC)
:The graphs are far less accurate and exact than our bar style. It would also be extremely difficult to implement as opposed to our coded templates. I appreciate the effort and suggestion, but it isnt really feasible. Also, please use the preview button instead of making multiple small edits. -- '''[[User:MAGNEDETH|MAG]][[Special:Contributions/MAGNEDETH|NE]][[User talk:MAGNEDETH|DETH]]''' 04:01, 21 July 2011 (UTC)

I can understand about the feasibility, but far less accurate? Did you open those files or simply look at the thumbnails? Isn`t it possible to have a small version of a picture that shows the full version when a mouse cursor`s tip pixel is placed over any of the small version`s position?

[[User:Googlebonker|Googlebonker]] 06:09, 21 July 2011 (UTC)
::Not with the current version of Mediawiki. We can only have the thumbnail on the page, and when clicked, it loads the image page. It's less desirable than what we have at the moment. The bars are an easy enough way to compare them, for me at least easier, since they all go in the same direction. Also, take in mind that the current template uses relatively little loading - it doesn't use any images from the archives. Even in the show/hides we have, the images are still all loaded when the page is, so a large image would negatively imact the loading times.

Hey Mag, I'm having some issues, and I'd thought I'd try and see if you can tell me how to fix them. So, everytime I X-out of the internet window, Bulbapedia logs me out. And I have to log in all over again. However, if I just press log in, and then click the back button, I'm logged in. It's been doing it since Bulbapedia was locked down last week. Got any idea what's causing it, because this has never happened before. [[User:Littlmiget123|Littlmiget123]] 17:08, 29 August 2011 (UTC)
:Thanks for bringing it up. Deth, I'm having the same issue as well. Pedia, Archives and News are unable to save the login data and keep asking me to log in again, whenever I close my browser. However, forums are working fine. I was going to ask Zhen but he's offline right now.

== Internamespace redirects ==

Hey there. I was bumming around today and I realized that we don't have many, if any, redirects from the mainspace to the Bulbapedia namespace. If somebody wants to find out, say, who the administrators are, they're probably going to type in "Administrators" or "Admins" into the search bar, which will get them nowhere. Well, not ''nowhere''. They'd have to click around for it. Would you be opposed to having redirects from the mainspace for some of the larger items in the Bulbapedia namespace? Like, the big policies, usergroups, etc. I don't see any inherent problem with it, but I figure there might be some reason why we don't have them.

== Watchlist Curiousity ==

Hi '''MAGNEDETH'''. So here's the thing: A few days ago, I was looking at my watchlist, something I do every now and again, and I saw something on it that made me wonder what it was for. That thing is the little number in parentheses next to the username. You know, the little number that's either green or red. That thing. Normally, I would just disregard it entirely and continue with whatever I was doing, but this time, I stopped to wonder, "Why is this thing here? What is it even for?" And for everyone else out there looking at this, I'll insert a "typed picture" as well to show what I'm talking about. And this is an actual example from my watchlist. So here it is everyone:

'''November 4, 2011'''

See the '''bold green "(+1,757)"'''? That's what got me curious. What is is for? Why is it there? What does it mean? I'm very confused right now. Oh, and, by the way, the large amount of "-"s is for things on my watchlist that I prefer not to post, just to stay out of trouble from other users.

So, that's pretty much it. Bye!

I watched the trailer again recently, and I listened to Pikachu. I learned they used sound effects from the anime because it obviously sounds like Ikue Ohtani.

== Conversations on the same page ==

Having replies on the same page is not necessary: it has always been personal preference (which can be seen by the few users who state on the top of their page that they like messages together, such as {{u|Kogoro}}). Additionally, [[Bulbapedia:Talk page policy|according to the talk page policy]], when you removed the comment from masatoshi's page, you broke the part of the talk page etiquette that says : "Removing comments is also frowned upon." No where does it state that they need to be on the same userpage when talking to someone, and it shouldn't (we can't force a certain personal preference). Telling the person to do it that way from now on would have been the appropriate action, without removing the comment. The history is now on Masatoshi's page, and if looking at the history on DigiKatana's page, it appears that you are posting messages with someone else's signature (which appears to be a much larger offense). Moral: You can't force users to post on the same page. You can ask them to do that, but as it is personal preference, you cannot force it upon them.

==What do I need to do to get unbanned from the forum==

I was unfairly banned from the forum just because I told everyone I had a brother. There seems to be a mistake. He said that he had a friend who was banned but I never even mentioned his friend as I didn't know that person in the first place. I even said his name was Cycling Road and I am Cycling Road's brother and Cycling Road is Max's friend. There's nothing I can do about that. I do have a different birth certificate than them that I'm the youngest out of all his friends. I don't know who's admin of the forum so if this issue needs to be brought up to Archaic, let me know. My brother also had a different friend on who was here last year. ([[User:MichaelXD|MichaelXD]] 18:34, 2 February 2012 (UTC))

My brother's friend attempted to make an account on here a while ago. His name wasn't available. He couldn't find a name. He signed up as ShadowLugia with his email address and he wants to talk to people, have a profile, and post edits. He has another friend from BMGF and serebii from his high school named Ruckus Jorgee who my brother is a good friend with and is NOT AMORAL or IMMORAL; I don't care what Serebii said on his profile. It is untrue. Can you send him ShadowLugia a password to sign up with as he told me to send one of the mods a message as he's still looking for his phone charger so he can get me on the sites, then he's going to talk about his sibling of his own. ShadowLugia or Max claims he has a sister. ([[User:MichaelXD|MichaelXD]] 01:06, 25 February 2012 (UTC))

== Archiving ==

Once you Archive a page, you can't really reverse it easily. The point of Archiving is to keep page history and conversations, and those aren't something you can just wish away with the delete tag. I do admit we make mistakes at the beginning: when I archived my first talk page, it only had 83 sections. Since Archive three, I've been archiving at 100. It is impossible to go back and change the first one to have 100 sections, so I just have to live with it. That is what you also need to do. I don't know the reason why you wanted to delete it, but it can't really happen, unfortunately.

== Ash's Friends ==

Hi. Can I suggest you to put in Ash's page the Pokémon he befriended, not only in the anime, but in the movie too??? Some of this could be Reshiram, Zekrom, Victini, Lugia, Lucario, and others, I don't know. So, could this be possible??? {{unsigned|FWG1996}}

== Hey ==

It's ok. I saw your message on another page and I know how you feel. Most of the time I always forget to screen what I write to validate if the wording is correct. It happens all the time. That's why on forums I am more prone to screening a long message and having my friend check it on his word document when I'm at his house on my computer. Not my brother's because he hasn't been around. ([[User:MichaelXD|MichaelXD]] 17:05, 22 February 2012 (UTC))

Talk:List of glitches in Generation IV

2012-02-18T12:16:05Z

MichaelXD: /* What about multiple Barries or Dawns? */

== What about multiple Barries or Dawns? ==

I believe that this is potentially another glitch. After whatever happens or whatever causes this Professor Rowan is standing with Dawn at Lake Acuity. Dawn is in the place where she was at the beginning of Pokemon Diamond and Pearl but she's also in Sandgem Town. Barry is in one place but until you've gone to Stark Mountain and caught Heatran and on the weekend, he's in 2 places at once. Does anyone think this is a glitch? I also believe that the fly to the Pokemon League is broken since the game has only been to part A and Rayquaza was allowed to fly Lucas to Point B, cheating him out of learning how to make it through Victory Road himself. Does anyone think it'd be good to add these glitches to the pages to make a good addition? ([[User:MichaelXD|MichaelXD]] 21:09, 17 February 2012 (UTC))
:I wouldn't really call it a glitch. It is potentially an oversight though, and would be more suited to Barry and Lucas/Dawn's trivia pages. Not sure what you were talking about in regards to Lucas using Rayquaza to fly to the Pokémon League. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 01:46, 18 February 2012 (UTC)
I'm not really sure how to say this either but I'm using a used Diamond game instead of a new save file so I can't tell what happened. I believe this game was action replayed once because I ended up with a Pichu with its current HP more than its max and that was something I was working on with my Gamecube Action Replay when I was trying to get perfect stats. I haven't followed the storyline of the DS games completely yet. ([[User:MichaelXD|MichaelXD]] 12:16, 18 February 2012 (UTC))

Stark Mountain

2012-02-17T21:21:25Z

MichaelXD: /* Trivia */

{{bad picture|reason=Infobox picture needs a map of the mountain. Layout pictures are from Psypokes. Layout thumbnail is a low quality scan that needs to be part of the main table when it becomes suitable.}}
{{Infobox location
|image=Stark Mountain Platinum.PNG
|type=volcano
|location_name=Stark Mountain
|location=Northern [[Sinnoh]], end of {{rt|227|Sinnoh}}
|japanese_name=ハードマウンテン
|translated_name=Hard Mountain
|region=Sinnoh
|generation={{gen|IV}}
}}
'''Stark Mountain''' (Japanese: '''ハードマウンテン''' ''Hard Mountain'') is home to the [[legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Heatran}}. The Pokémon is only available on the second time through the mountain, after revisiting [[Buck]]'s grandfather's house in the [[Survival Area]]. [[Player character|Players]] are required to have Pokémon with {{m|Strength}} and {{m|Rock Smash}} to proceed through the volcano. After encountering their rival, players will find [[Buck]], who will travel with them through the mountain, up to the point where {{p|Heatran}} is encountered.

In {{game|Platinum}}, [[Charon]] takes control of [[Team Galactic]] and travels through Stark Mountain to take the [[Magma Stone]] and capture {{p|Heatran}}. Once the player follows Charon to Heatran's room, with the aid of [[Buck]], [[Looker]] arrests Charon and takes the Magma Stone. Buck later returns the Magma Stone, after being advised by his grandfather to do so.

==Map Information==
A rugged, seemingly indestructible rock mountain that is thickly blanketed by the volcanic ash it spews.

Inside the mountain, fissures in spilled and hardened lava form enormous caverns.

==Geography==
===Exterior===
Stark Mountain's exterior changes between {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} and {{game|Platinum}}, however, both maintain the heated feel of the mountain. The road ascends in a huge contour up the mountain and, at that point, Route 227 ends and the exterior of Stark Mountain begins. In Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, a huge clearing opens up that contains a large patch of [[tall grass]]. By traveling to the west, the entrance to the interior of the mountain can be found.

In Pokémon Platinum, the exterior is more complex and the path winds around pools of bubbling lava. It is darker and aesthetic features have been enhanced. The large patch of [[tall grass]] is still present, but it is not as big. By going northwest, an item can be found in an indented section of track. By traveling to the northeastern corner, a path will open up. By following it the road will lead through two pools of smoking, bubbling lava around another bend to the entrance of the interior of the mountain.

===Buck===
After the {{player}} crosses the planks they will encounter [[Buck]], who will ask them to investigate a bunch of [[Team Galactic|goons in space suits]] who are up to no good at the mountain while he returns to the Pokémon Center to heal. After entering the inside of Stark Mountain, Buck will return and accompany the player through the cave. Like all the [[Stat Trainers]], Buck will fully heal all of the player's Pokémon after each battle.

==Trivia==
*Despite another mountain in the same region -- [[Mt. Coronet]], starts its name with "Mt." (which is the abbreviation of Mount), and almost all other mountains in other regions, such as [[Mt. Moon]] in [[Kanto]], [[Mt. Mortar]] and [[Mt. Silver]] in [[Johto]], [[Mt. Chimney]] and [[Mt. Pyre]] in [[Hoenn]], start their name with "Mt.", Stark Mountain doesn't follow this trend. Instead, "Mountain" is put at last.
*The first time the player comes to Stark Mountain, he/she cannot collect all items due to having Buck as partner, thus unable to use {{HM|08|Rock Climb}}.
*The name Stark Mountain may come directly from the German word "stark" and Mountain, literally meaning "Strong Mountain" hence all the powerful high level Pokemon with the highest being level 58 not counting Heatran and trainers in which the player Lucas or Dawn has the option to battle with Buck or by themselves and can only be battled once. It may also have this name because of the Survival Area nearby in which trainers have to remain "strong" to survive.

MichaelXD: /* Trivia */

{{bad picture|reason=Infobox picture needs a map of the mountain. Layout pictures are from Psypokes. Layout thumbnail is a low quality scan that needs to be part of the main table when it becomes suitable.}}
{{Infobox location
|image=Stark Mountain Platinum.PNG
|type=volcano
|location_name=Stark Mountain
|location=Northern [[Sinnoh]], end of {{rt|227|Sinnoh}}
|japanese_name=ハードマウンテン
|translated_name=Hard Mountain
|region=Sinnoh
|generation={{gen|IV}}
}}
'''Stark Mountain''' (Japanese: '''ハードマウンテン''' ''Hard Mountain'') is home to the [[legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Heatran}}. The Pokémon is only available on the second time through the mountain, after revisiting [[Buck]]'s grandfather's house in the [[Survival Area]]. [[Player character|Players]] are required to have Pokémon with {{m|Strength}} and {{m|Rock Smash}} to proceed through the volcano. After encountering their rival, players will find [[Buck]], who will travel with them through the mountain, up to the point where {{p|Heatran}} is encountered.

In {{game|Platinum}}, [[Charon]] takes control of [[Team Galactic]] and travels through Stark Mountain to take the [[Magma Stone]] and capture {{p|Heatran}}. Once the player follows Charon to Heatran's room, with the aid of [[Buck]], [[Looker]] arrests Charon and takes the Magma Stone. Buck later returns the Magma Stone, after being advised by his grandfather to do so.

==Map Information==
A rugged, seemingly indestructible rock mountain that is thickly blanketed by the volcanic ash it spews.

Inside the mountain, fissures in spilled and hardened lava form enormous caverns.

==Geography==
===Exterior===
Stark Mountain's exterior changes between {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} and {{game|Platinum}}, however, both maintain the heated feel of the mountain. The road ascends in a huge contour up the mountain and, at that point, Route 227 ends and the exterior of Stark Mountain begins. In Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, a huge clearing opens up that contains a large patch of [[tall grass]]. By traveling to the west, the entrance to the interior of the mountain can be found.

In Pokémon Platinum, the exterior is more complex and the path winds around pools of bubbling lava. It is darker and aesthetic features have been enhanced. The large patch of [[tall grass]] is still present, but it is not as big. By going northwest, an item can be found in an indented section of track. By traveling to the northeastern corner, a path will open up. By following it the road will lead through two pools of smoking, bubbling lava around another bend to the entrance of the interior of the mountain.

===Buck===
After the {{player}} crosses the planks they will encounter [[Buck]], who will ask them to investigate a bunch of [[Team Galactic|goons in space suits]] who are up to no good at the mountain while he returns to the Pokémon Center to heal. After entering the inside of Stark Mountain, Buck will return and accompany the player through the cave. Like all the [[Stat Trainers]], Buck will fully heal all of the player's Pokémon after each battle.

==Trivia==
*Despite another mountain in the same region -- [[Mt. Coronet]], starts its name with "Mt." (which is the abbreviation of Mount), and almost all other mountains in other regions, such as [[Mt. Moon]] in [[Kanto]], [[Mt. Mortar]] and [[Mt. Silver]] in [[Johto]], [[Mt. Chimney]] and [[Mt. Pyre]] in [[Hoenn]], start their name with "Mt.", Stark Mountain doesn't follow this trend. Instead, "Mountain" is put at last.
*The first time the player comes to Stark Mountain, he/she cannot collect all items due to having Buck as partner, thus unable to use {{HM|08|Rock Climb}}.
*The name Stark Mountain may come directly from the German word "stark" and Mountain, literally meaning "Strong Mountain" hence all the powerful high level Pokemon with the highest being 58 not counting Heatran and trainers in which the Lucas or Dawn has the option to battle with Buck or by themselves and can only be battled once. It may also have this name because of the Survival Area nearby in which trainers have to remain "strong" to survive.

* Use {{bp|wikicode}} and {{bp|link templates}} when adding content to a page.
* Use proper grammar and spelling, and read the {{bp|manual of style}}.
* You can't create a userpage until you've added to the encyclopedia. It's a privilege. See the {{bp|userspace policy}}.
* Use {{bp|Talk page policy|talk pages}} to resolve editing disputes. Don't "edit war," or constantly re-edit/undo the same thing on a page.

== The Preview Button ==
Instead of editing a page several times in a row, try using the preview button to make sure your edit looks the way you want it to. It's right next to the Save Changes button... Please try it out, so as not to clog up the Recent Changes. Thanks! --[[User:Pokemaster97|--Pokemaster]][[User talk:Pokemaster97|97]] 19:55, 24 October 2011 (UTC)

Okay! [[User:Poke.geek|--Poke.geek]]
:I guess you forgot. If you want to check your edit, click on the "preview". When you're done editing the article completely then click on the "save page" button. In this way, the multiple edits won't clog the "recent changes/RC" and it'll look tidy. If you've any other question, please feel free to ask. Thanks, have a nice day. ♫♪[[User:Adyniz|'''エイデ''']][[User talk:Adyniz|'''ィニズ''']]♪♫ 19:00, 25 October 2011 (UTC)

Hi there, I see you link to userpages the manual way (''User:<Name>|<Name>'').

== Preview Buttton ==

I'm sorry for all the editing trouble but I'm having a hard time following a certain format when it comes to a Pokemon having either gender in the game Pokemon XD Gale of Darkness that is nonshadow. When I viewed the preview button I didn't see a female gender symbol on that Elekid and to tell the truth, I once mistakenly got a female Elekid when I already had a female Electabuzz from Cipher Admin Ardos. Once I soft resetted, I received a male and a different nature. I'm new to this editing and I only edit pages I think need editing. Even if it was about the genders of the Pokemon in the anime which may or may not have been true but I strongly believe they are the same gender as in the games because there was a page that said Ash's Bayleef was female and when we battle him on Pokemon Stadium 2, what do we know? His Meganium is also female. I didn't think that was a coincidence. I think there's a reason why the programmers and writers had their Pokemon a certain gender in the first place. ([[User:MichaelXD|MichaelXD]] 01:39, 30 December 2011 (UTC)) 29 December 2011 5:39 PM PST

And sorry for that again. I didn't mean to clutter but I was trying to see other people's comments and the stuff that was formatted at the end. {{unsigned|MichaelXD}}

==Hey There, Question for you==

Hi. I'm MichaelXD and you and I wouldn't have met if it weren't for the clogging of recent changes. I have now revamped myself and I have decided to look at the recent changes. But I was wondering if you ever go on forums from your friend's house or your friends go on forums from your house. I'm asking because it seems really cool but we kept getting into trouble by forum mods just by being at friend's house even if our parents gave us consent. So what do you think is up with that? I have a brother who has to go through the same problem. His name is Cycling Road. ([[User:MichaelXD|MichaelXD]] 05:06, 13 January 2012 (UTC))

::::'''@Pokemaster97:''' Carmenstar97's edits weren't just removing spaces, she was also fixing links and multiple other things over all of the pages.

== Hey ==

I'm submitting mistakes less and less but I didn't use the preview button because there was less stuff in my writing. I thought I used the right word but I accidentally said Skill Swap was an ability when editing something false out. Wonder Guard couldn't be skill swapped. Also I'm glad you're a kid. I have many distractions such as our dog not shutting up and it's clogging up the ability for me to type what I'm going to type. I'm also 15 and the reason I had to edit something twice even after using the preview button was because I read it and it had you in it. What is the rule on using you in the Wikispace? Please answer. If we can work something out, we can be friends since I like other kids. ([[User:MichaelXD|MichaelXD]] 02:28, 2 January 2012 (UTC))
:Well it's a little diffrent if you mess up sometimes and make more than one edit, but when it's constantly that's when it starts becoming a problem. Take a little more time previewing before you save or the [[Bulbapedia:Staff|staff]] might give you a big ugly preview button. Also the word "you" should not be used in the mainspace. Let me know if you have any more questions. [[User:Pokemaster97|--Pokemaster]][[User talk:Pokemaster97|97]] 02:41, 2 January 2012 (UTC)

:everyone gets reminded to use the preview button, it used to be on the banner at the top, I'm assuming thought I haven't checked that your a new user, new users often get told when they've made a mistake because we don't know wheather its a one of mistake or a rule you don't know, even I somtimes forget to use the preview button and end up subbmitting a mistake but most staff members (and well preforming normal users like PM97) will know it was a ssimple error, but a new user will always be told, not be told off because you've been bad, but reminded because we want to understand the rules here and just little things that make things easy

P.S You'll definatly not get banned for not using the preview button ;) unless of course you've had a few messages about it and seem to be deliberatly ignoring them [[User:05308|Diamond]] [[Lanturn (Pokémon)|Lanturn]] [[User talk:05308|CodeName: 05308]] 20:31, 4 January 2012 (UTC)

Hi. I would like to know something. Do you by any per chance go to your friend's house and post on any forum or have friends come to your house? Does anyone mind so you don't get falsely accused as them? I wouldn't have met you if it weren't for me clogging up the recent changes but I believed there were still other ways to meet.

In speaking of which can my friends use some wiki edits at my house? ([[User:MichaelXD|MichaelXD]] 18:32, 13 January 2012 (UTC))
:I really don't know how to answer your question. I think if you have an account as long as you log in you can edit anywhere. Do you mean editing from others accounts? I guess that's up to you and the person, but be prepared for any consequences you might face off of someone else actions made from your account.

I thought you were a staff member based on you doing some modding. Your picture is kind of cute. Oh wait. He's Lucas. I'm playing as him in Pokemon Pearl.

== Pokemon Pearl Route 215 Help ==

Have you ever battled Jogger Scott on Route 215 with the level 23 Staravia? I tried changing my DS clock to morning and he still won't battle. I haven't battled him yet and I'm ready to use my Luxio because he's an Electric type and the opponent who has a Flying type is also at level 23. If we can't battle him, then why is it in the guide and where do you check for IVs for the Pokemon? I have Ponyta and Kadabra who I believe are maxed out on EVs, the Ponyta at least, and if the Kadabra is not already, at least he's going to be. ([[User:MichaelXD|MichaelXD]] 16:07, 19 January 2012 (UTC))
:It's possible that it's because you changed your DS clock. Time-based events don't occur for 24 hours after changing the clock.

He happened to battle me without any warning when he approached me instead. I wasn't ready the first two times but I got ready the third time. That guy can be battled as otherwise there'd be no need for him on any bulbapedia page. ([[User:MichaelXD|MichaelXD]] 20:27, 2 February 2012 (UTC))

==Suggestion for the Wiki==
Where would i post a suggestion for the wiki? Would i ask you... or do I go to the forums. If i do ask you, what would you think about a new project: Pokémon pronunciation. After their names on every Pokémon's page, there should be a pronunciation key. I know Nintendo never gave pronunciation keys, but with the anime, we should be able to get the pronunciations. I only say this because I personally hate not knowing how to pronounce a Pokémon's name, and there's a lot I don't know, and I don't wan to go find what anime episode they are in to listen to when a character says there name. To be honest, I'm not really good with forums, so if this is something that should be brought to the attention of the forums, could you help me set it up? Thank you... [[User:Toadstool|Toadstool]] 23:53, 22 June 2011 (UTC)
:The issue with pronounciations, it the official handbooks have one, the 3D games usually have a different one, the anime often has a third different one, and in some cases the movies have a fourth. Until we can get consistency across all the different media, it's going to be difficult to implement. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 02:44, 23 June 2011 (UTC)

These are projects I started that I really don't want to take the time to finish. I'd like them to be presented to the Pokémon community for other people to continue work on them.

I enjoyed seeing graphs in an early strategy guide for Pokémon. I don't understand why they stopped using that style of graph and began using numbers of blocks/circles to represent the strength of a Pokémon's Stats. Graphs included in the above-linked albums are more accurate representations of Pokémon's Base Stats and maximum and minimum stats with Hindering, Neutral, and Beneficial Natures.

The files in the "Pokemon Project Base Stat Graphs" album include a blank Base Stats graph, Base Stat comparison charts by evolution chain, and Base Stat graphs for the following Pokémon:

Pokemon #001-#151, all evolutions and/or pre-evolutions of Pokémon #001-#151 not included in those numbers (where applicable), Shuckle, Shedinja, Arceus, Zekrom, and Reshiram

The "Pokemon Project Maximum and Minimum Stat Graphs" (M&MSGs) album includes blank M&MSGs and M&MSGs for the Pokémon listed above. It also contains the albums "Attack Special Attack Defense Special Defense," "HP_," and "Speed." These albums contain color-coded pixels indicating M&MS based on Base Stats. These files can be used in conjunction with a blank M&MSG to more easily make a new M&MSG for a Pokémon.

I already have a guide on how to construct files ready to go.

The "01Items" Album and its sub-albums contain a small amount of files. These files are the basis of a much larger, more time-consuming subproject of graphing Pokémon's M&MS while holding certain items that affect Pokémon's Stats (not the Base Power of Moves).

I don't guarantee all of the information I've graphed is correct.

Thank you for your time and reading. I hope someone or some people can take the reigns of these projects and see them through to completion. [[User:Googlebonker|Googlebonker]] 19:34, 20 July 2011 (UTC)
:The graphs are far less accurate and exact than our bar style. It would also be extremely difficult to implement as opposed to our coded templates. I appreciate the effort and suggestion, but it isnt really feasible. Also, please use the preview button instead of making multiple small edits. -- '''[[User:MAGNEDETH|MAG]][[Special:Contributions/MAGNEDETH|NE]][[User talk:MAGNEDETH|DETH]]''' 04:01, 21 July 2011 (UTC)

I can understand about the feasibility, but far less accurate? Did you open those files or simply look at the thumbnails? Isn`t it possible to have a small version of a picture that shows the full version when a mouse cursor`s tip pixel is placed over any of the small version`s position?

[[User:Googlebonker|Googlebonker]] 06:09, 21 July 2011 (UTC)
::Not with the current version of Mediawiki. We can only have the thumbnail on the page, and when clicked, it loads the image page. It's less desirable than what we have at the moment. The bars are an easy enough way to compare them, for me at least easier, since they all go in the same direction. Also, take in mind that the current template uses relatively little loading - it doesn't use any images from the archives. Even in the show/hides we have, the images are still all loaded when the page is, so a large image would negatively imact the loading times.

Hey Mag, I'm having some issues, and I'd thought I'd try and see if you can tell me how to fix them. So, everytime I X-out of the internet window, Bulbapedia logs me out. And I have to log in all over again. However, if I just press log in, and then click the back button, I'm logged in. It's been doing it since Bulbapedia was locked down last week.

== Internamespace redirects ==

Hey there. I was bumming around today and I realized that we don't have many, if any, redirects from the mainspace to the Bulbapedia namespace. If somebody wants to find out, say, who the administrators are, they're probably going to type in "Administrators" or "Admins" into the search bar, which will get them nowhere. Well, not ''nowhere''. They'd have to click around for it. Would you be opposed to having redirects from the mainspace for some of the larger items in the Bulbapedia namespace? Like, the big policies, usergroups, etc. I don't see any inherent problem with it, but I figure there might be some reason why we don't have them.

== Watchlist Curiousity ==

Hi '''MAGNEDETH'''. So here's the thing: A few days ago, I was looking at my watchlist, something I do every now and again, and I saw something on it that made me wonder what it was for. That thing is the little number in parentheses next to the username. You know, the little number that's either green or red. That thing. Normally, I would just disregard it entirely and continue with whatever I was doing, but this time, I stopped to wonder, "Why is this thing here? What is it even for?" And for everyone else out there looking at this, I'll insert a "typed picture" as well to show what I'm talking about. And this is an actual example from my watchlist. So here it is everyone:

== MAJOR PROBLEM!!!!! ==

Hey Mag. (Do you mind if I call you that?) Okay, so here's my problem: while I was on the forums, checking to see if I got any new PMs or replies to my posts or something, I tried to load the page to my profile page and my browser (IE9) said, "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage". I tried loading many other pages and they all came up with the same thing! I even tried to get there via the forum link at the bottom of the Main Page! Still nothing! And the worst thing is, I can't access the problem reporting thread on the forums because it's down too! What the heck happened?! Why has the forum betrayed me?!?! Is the forum down for you too? If it is, then I'm guessing that it's undergoing maintenance. If not, then it's probably a problem with my Internet or some other thing. WHY ARE THE FORUMS NOT WORKING?!?! I <3 the forums! They're so much fun to use! So to make a long story short, the forums aren't working and I want to know why this is so. Anyway, I'm pretty much done here. BAI! :D 〜[[User:Pikachu9000|'''Pikachu''']][[User talk:Pikachu9000|'''9000''']] 21:37, 9 November 2011 (UTC)

== Project Link Templates ==

Hi, Please don't laugh at me after reading this! 
I think that we should have a "PROJECT LINK TEMPLATES" (or a better name) which aims at adding links to the article and making new templates. Link templates are an essential part of an article, especially in Bulbapedia. I know that it's weird idea but just think about this.

== Bulbapedia Staff ==
Hello, I heard Bulbapedia is currently hiring. I have been coming to this site for years and I am very much interested.

I assume I would have to need an account on the Bulbaforums first. It doesn't even let me create an account, though...
[[User:Philosophical-Psychological Informist Togekiss|Philosophical-Psychological Informist Togekiss]] 01:11, 19 November 2011 (UTC)
:What is it saying when you try to make an account? That'll likely tell you what needs to be done differently. Note that, unlike the Bulbawiki accounts, the forums account isn't linked - you'll have to create an account there, rather than just logging is with your Bulbapedia username and password as you would do on, say, Bulbanews.

:On the staff application front, as is stated on the news article, you need to have more than 500 mainspace contributions. You're about 450 short. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 03:54, 19 November 2011 (UTC)

== Conversations on the same page ==

Having replies on the same page is not necessary: it has always been personal preference (which can be seen by the few users who state on the top of their page that they like messages together, such as {{u|Kogoro}}). Additionally, [[Bulbapedia:Talk page policy|according to the talk page policy]], when you removed the comment from masatoshi's page, you broke the part of the talk page etiquette that says : "Removing comments is also frowned upon." No where does it state that they need to be on the same userpage when talking to someone, and it shouldn't (we can't force a certain personal preference). Telling the person to do it that way from now on would have been the appropriate action, without removing the comment. The history is now on Masatoshi's page, and if looking at the history on DigiKatana's page, it appears that you are posting messages with someone else's signature (which appears to be a much larger offense). Moral: You can't force users to post on the same page. You can ask them to do that, but as it is personal preference, you cannot force it upon them.

I was unfairly banned from the forum just because I told everyone I had a brother. There seems to be a mistake. He said that he had a friend who was banned but I never even mentioned his friend as I didn't know that person in the first place. I even said his name was Cycling Road and I am Cycling Road's brother and Cycling Road is Max's friend. There's nothing I can do about that. I do have a different birth certificate than them that I'm the youngest out of all his friends. I don't know who's admin of the forum so if this issue needs to be brought up to Archaic, let me know. My brother also had a different friend on who was here last year. ([[User:MichaelXD|MichaelXD]] 18:34, 2 February 2012 (UTC))

==Suggestion for the Wiki==
Where would i post a suggestion for the wiki? Would i ask you... or do I go to the forums. If i do ask you, what would you think about a new project: Pokémon pronunciation. After their names on every Pokémon's page, there should be a pronunciation key. I know Nintendo never gave pronunciation keys, but with the anime, we should be able to get the pronunciations. I only say this because I personally hate not knowing how to pronounce a Pokémon's name, and there's a lot I don't know, and I don't wan to go find what anime episode they are in to listen to when a character says there name. To be honest, I'm not really good with forums, so if this is something that should be brought to the attention of the forums, could you help me set it up? Thank you... [[User:Toadstool|Toadstool]] 23:53, 22 June 2011 (UTC)
:The issue with pronounciations, it the official handbooks have one, the 3D games usually have a different one, the anime often has a third different one, and in some cases the movies have a fourth. Until we can get consistency across all the different media, it's going to be difficult to implement. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 02:44, 23 June 2011 (UTC)

== Large-Scale Pokémon Graph Projects ==

Hello!

[http://s49.photobucket.com/albums/f293/Googlebonker/Pokemon%20Project%20Base%20Stat%20Graphs/][http://s49.photobucket.com/albums/f293/Googlebonker/Pokemon%20Project%20Maximum%20and%20Minimum%20Stat%20Graphs/]

If those don't work, go to photobucket.com and search "Googlebonker."

These are projects I started that I really don't want to take the time to finish. I'd like them to be presented to the Pokémon community for other people to continue work on them.

I enjoyed seeing graphs in an early strategy guide for Pokémon. I don't understand why they stopped using that style of graph and began using numbers of blocks/circles to represent the strength of a Pokémon's Stats. Graphs included in the above-linked albums are more accurate representations of Pokémon's Base Stats and maximum and minimum stats with Hindering, Neutral, and Beneficial Natures.

The files in the "Pokemon Project Base Stat Graphs" album include a blank Base Stats graph, Base Stat comparison charts by evolution chain, and Base Stat graphs for the following Pokémon:

Pokemon #001-#151, all evolutions and/or pre-evolutions of Pokémon #001-#151 not included in those numbers (where applicable), Shuckle, Shedinja, Arceus, Zekrom, and Reshiram

The "Pokemon Project Maximum and Minimum Stat Graphs" (M&MSGs) album includes blank M&MSGs and M&MSGs for the Pokémon listed above. It also contains the albums "Attack Special Attack Defense Special Defense," "HP_," and "Speed." These albums contain color-coded pixels indicating M&MS based on Base Stats. These files can be used in conjunction with a blank M&MSG to more easily make a new M&MSG for a Pokémon.

I already have a guide on how to construct files ready to go.

The "01Items" Album and its sub-albums contain a small amount of files. These files are the basis of a much larger, more time-consuming subproject of graphing Pokémon's M&MS while holding certain items that affect Pokémon's Stats (not the Base Power of Moves).

I don't guarantee all of the information I've graphed is correct.

Thank you for your time and reading. I hope someone or some people can take the reigns of these projects and see them through to completion. [[User:Googlebonker|Googlebonker]] 19:34, 20 July 2011 (UTC)
:The graphs are far less accurate and exact than our bar style. It would also be extremely difficult to implement as opposed to our coded templates. I appreciate the effort and suggestion, but it isnt really feasible.

I can understand about the feasibility, but far less accurate? Did you open those files or simply look at the thumbnails? Isn`t it possible to have a small version of a picture that shows the full version when a mouse cursor`s tip pixel is placed over any of the small version`s position?

[[User:Googlebonker|Googlebonker]] 06:09, 21 July 2011 (UTC)
::Not with the current version of Mediawiki. We can only have the thumbnail on the page, and when clicked, it loads the image page. It's less desirable than what we have at the moment. The bars are an easy enough way to compare them, for me at least easier, since they all go in the same direction. Also, take in mind that the current template uses relatively little loading - it doesn't use any images from the archives. Even in the show/hides we have, the images are still all loaded when the page is, so a large image would negatively imact the loading times.

== Internamespace redirects ==

Hey there. I was bumming around today and I realized that we don't have many, if any, redirects from the mainspace to the Bulbapedia namespace. If somebody wants to find out, say, who the administrators are, they're probably going to type in "Administrators" or "Admins" into the search bar, which will get them nowhere. Well, not ''nowhere''. They'd have to click around for it. Would you be opposed to having redirects from the mainspace for some of the larger items in the Bulbapedia namespace? Like, the big policies, usergroups, etc. I don't see any inherent problem with it, but I figure there might be some reason why we don't have them. Thoughts? --[[User:Politoed666|''P'' ''o'']] [[User talk:Politoed666|''L'' ''i'']] 18:54, 22 September 2011 (UTC)

== Watchlist Curiousity ==

Hi '''MAGNEDETH'''. So here's the thing: A few days ago, I was looking at my watchlist, something I do every now and again, and I saw something on it that made me wonder what it was for. That thing is the little number in parentheses next to the username. You know, the little number that's either green or red. That thing. Normally, I would just disregard it entirely and continue with whatever I was doing, but this time, I stopped to wonder, "Why is this thing here? What is it even for?" And for everyone else out there looking at this, I'll insert a "typed picture" as well to show what I'm talking about. And this is an actual example from my watchlist. So here it is everyone:

'''November 4, 2011'''
* ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

See the '''bold green "(+1,757)"'''? That's what got me curious. What is is for? Why is it there? What does it mean? I'm very confused right now. Oh, and, by the way, the large amount of "-"s is for things on my watchlist that I prefer not to post, just to stay out of trouble from other users.

So, that's pretty much it. Bye!

Oh! before I forget, '''MAGNEDETH''', I dropped you a line on your forum page regarding your userpage and my not-yet-posted userpage, so be sure to read it! Thanks! 〜[[User:Pikachu9000|'''Pikachu''']][[User talk:Pikachu9000|'''9000''']] 23:23, 7 November 2011 (UTC)

== MAJOR PROBLEM!!!!! ==

Hey Mag. (Do you mind if I call you that?) Okay, so here's my problem: while I was on the forums, checking to see if I got any new PMs or replies to my posts or something, I tried to load the page to my profile page and my browser (IE9) said, "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage". I tried loading many other pages and they all came up with the same thing! I even tried to get there via the forum link at the bottom of the Main Page! Still nothing! And the worst thing is, I can't access the problem reporting thread on the forums because it's down too! What the heck happened?! Why has the forum betrayed me?!?! Is the forum down for you too? If it is, then I'm guessing that it's undergoing maintenance. If not, then it's probably a problem with my Internet or some other thing. WHY ARE THE FORUMS NOT WORKING?!?! I <3 the forums! They're so much fun to use! So to make a long story short, the forums aren't working and I want to know why this is so. Anyway, I'm pretty much done here.

Hello, I heard Bulbapedia is currently hiring. I have been coming to this site for years and I am very much interested.

I assume I would have to need an account on the Bulbaforums first. It doesn't even let me create an account, though...
[[User:Philosophical-Psychological Informist Togekiss|Philosophical-Psychological Informist Togekiss]] 01:11, 19 November 2011 (UTC)
:What is it saying when you try to make an account? That'll likely tell you what needs to be done differently. Note that, unlike the Bulbawiki accounts, the forums account isn't linked - you'll have to create an account there, rather than just logging is with your Bulbapedia username and password as you would do on, say, Bulbanews.

== Conversations on the same page ==

Having replies on the same page is not necessary: it has always been personal preference (which can be seen by the few users who state on the top of their page that they like messages together, such as {{u|Kogoro}}). Additionally, [[Bulbapedia:Talk page policy|according to the talk page policy]], when you removed the comment from masatoshi's page, you broke the part of the talk page etiquette that says : "Removing comments is also frowned upon." No where does it state that they need to be on the same userpage when talking to someone, and it shouldn't (we can't force a certain personal preference). Telling the person to do it that way from now on would have been the appropriate action, without removing the comment. The history is now on Masatoshi's page, and if looking at the history on DigiKatana's page, it appears that you are posting messages with someone else's signature (which appears to be a much larger offense). Moral: You can't force users to post on the same page. You can ask them to do that, but as it is personal preference, you cannot force it upon them.

==What do I need to do to get unbanned from the forum==

I was unfairly banned from the forum just because I told everyone I had a brother. There seems to be a mistake. He said that he had a friend who was banned but I never even mentioned his friend as I didn't know that person in the first place. I even said his name was Cycling Road and I am Cycling Road's brother and Cycling Road is Max's friend. There's nothing I can do about that. I do have a different birth certificate than them that I'm the youngest out of all his friends. I don't know who's admin of the forum so if this issue needs to be brought up to Archaic, let me know.

Actually, if you have enough evs, the stat gain comes after you level up. Say you get 16 evs before leveling up. If so, then when you do level up and you get 16 atk's, youll get 4 evs. So leveling to 100 isnt necesarry-- [[User:Mr T Tar]]

And now i know thanks to you. I feel like a noob T_T

== Some adjustments needed? ==

First off, vitamins, The article's wording seems to imply that a vitamin can be used when the current points are any amount less than 100, and unless things have changed, or i know wrong, vitamins will only raise EV's TO 100 and never over 100, meaning vitamins can only be used when current EV's are 90 or less.

Also, the basic info seems to ONLY address the final results at level 100, leading to earlier confusion about whether or not EV's apply anytime before. The EV portion of the stat calculations could be here, and/or a chart showing at what levels the EV's needed for an actual stat point are whole numbers, and how many it is, along the lines of:

100 = 4
80 = 5
50 = 8
40 = 10
25 = 16
20 = 20
16 = 25
10 = 40
8 = 50
5 = 80
4 = 100
-------
2 = 200
1 = 400

Obviously we don't need a lot of the lower levels, since it'd be difficult to finish EV training that low. at eight, you'd need to use all the vitamins the game will let you to get just two stat points, and only one for the same at level 4, and gaining a single whole stat point is impossible at levels 1 and 2.
:I'm thinking the chart should be cut off at 4, since then you could still use vitamins to gain 5 single stat points in different stats. {{u|Kendai}} 10:38 October 22, 2007.

I get the numbers by dividing 400 by the level, or the needed number of EV's. You can see they start to mirror at 20.

:Vitamins are only if the EV's less than 100 at the time of use. Even if it's 99, you can still use one vitamin. '''[[User:TTEchidna|TTE]][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 09:03, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

:::(edit conflict) Or ask me!
:::There's a list linked on the article here, and other lists across the 'web as well. Generally, Pokémon will give EVs to stats they're strong in themselves (Zubat's Speed stat is it's strongest, so it gives out 1 EV to Speed when you defeat it). There are some exceptions, but that's generally how it works out.
:::For training in a specific stat, generally you just look at a list of Pokémon by EV reward, find ones that are fairly common, and track down a spot where you can find them easily. For example, Fearow and Raticate both give 2 EVs to Attack, and the area just North of the Fight Area in D/P is full of Fearow and Raticate; if you were planning to train for Attack, that would be the easiest place to train (fighting Fearow and Raticate, and running from anything else).

::::Could you give me a link to any of those websites? And could you also tell me how to raise Special Attack in Emerald (that's what I'm playing now)?
:::::For one, [[List of Pokémon by effort value yield]] is right here, simply sort by the Sp. Atk. column, which will put anything with more then a zero at the top (keep an eye out for some Pokémon that raise multiple stats at once, they can mess up your math).

I was wondering if somebody could please explain something for me... sorry if I'm slow to pick it up, I only found out about EVs a little while ago (so yeah, I played my way through the games ignorant of them), but I'm having trouble understanding how EVs actually become stat points. I understand how you accumulate EVs, but at what point, and how, do these become stat points? I originally assumed that it was instant (i.e., you get four EVs in a particular stat, that becomes a stat point for that stat) but from reading the rest of the discussion on this page, that doesn't seem to be the case. Someone also mentioned resetting EV values... that confused me too :S
If there's a clearer explanation of how this works somewhere else, I'd really appreciate it if someone could direct me to it.
Thanks- Timothy.
:Every four EV points you gain, that's +1 in that stat at level 100. You can get up to 255 EVs in one stat, 510 total. 252 is where most people stop for a specific stat, since you don't get stat points for 3 EVs. EV points are gained from specific Pokémon, and there's a list of them somewhere around here. They get doubled by Pokérus and the Macho Brace.

:Well, a berry would reduce it to 245, as they make EVs decrease by 10. And... why 252? it is just the same as 255. if you get 252 in two stats, you'll be able to get other 6 EVs for a thid stat, but it will only increase it 1 point at level 100... and 1 at level 100 is the same as nothing. '''[[User:Hfc2x|hfc]][[User talk:Hfc2x|2X]]''' 20:45, 25 July 2008 (UTC)
:::In Emerald, that method would be more convenient. For Diamond/Pearl (and later, I would assume), if the Pokémon has more than 100 EVs in a stat, one EV-reducing berry would take it back to 100. For example, using an EV-reducing berry on a Pokémon with 255 EVs would take it down to 100 EVs, and using a berry on one with 101 EVs would also take it down to 100. For Hfc2x's question, let me turn that around: "Why 255? It is just the same as 252."

EV-reducing berries lower the EVs by 10 ALWAYS, even when it is over 100. and the 1 point in one stat is nothing, 'cause you can only make the difference every 18 points at level 100. For example... if I have a Pokémon with 300 of speed and my oponent has 305, ANY of the Pokémon may attack first because the difference is so minimal.

If you are EV training a Pokémon with both a Macho Brace(Power Anklet, et al.) and the Pokérus, does the doubling take place before or after the plus four?

== Oh really? ==

The last sentence states that it adds 4 EVs to the respective stat even if EVs in a different stat are gained. Is this tested to be true?

To clarify, +4 first, THEN x2 for Pokerus - ''unsigned comment from [[User:Mr. Black|Mr. Black]] ([[User talk:Mr. Black|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Mr. Black|contribs]]){{ #if: | {{{2}}} |}}''

Also, I believe the EV system for Generations I and II is wrong here. I'm fairly sure Pokemon weren't given specific EV values like they are now, I think EVs were actually calculated based on a Pokemon's stats. Please check it anyway to make sure.

Since you added 252 is the highest multiple of 4 in 255, you might want to add 508 is the highest multiple of 4 in 510, making 2 available EVs useless. - ''unsigned comment from [[User:Mr. Black|Mr. Black]] ([[User talk:Mr. Black|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Mr. Black|contribs]]){{ #if: | {{{2}}} |}}''
:Well, Mr. Black isn't responding you questions... The first one is YES, if you use Power Wheight you'll always gain +4 HP EVs, even if you fight a Graveler. And the second one is NO, Pokémon always have given away the same EVs they give now, but the difference is that there is no limit in Gens I and II, instead of the limit of 510 in Gens III and IV. {{unsigned|hfc2x}}

Well, I'll explain it better:
*Power Wheight helps you get +4 EVs in HP ''EVERY TIME YOU FIGHT AND FAINT AND OPPONENT''. This is added to the total if you haven't got the Pokerus. If you have Pokérus, then the total (after adding the bonus for the held item) is multiplied by 2.
*In Generations I and II, ALL Pokémon give ''THE SAME'' EVs they give now. The only difference among generations is the total of EVs you can add to a Pokémon if you want to train. In Gens III and IV the maximum training in EVs is 510, with a maximum of 255 in every stat, but the total cannot exceed 510. In Gens I and II, there is no maximum amount of EVs in any stat nor a maximum of total EVs. Meaning that you can get infinite training.

I hope it is clear now... '''[[User:Hfc2x|hfc]][[User talk:Hfc2x|2X]]''' 18:31, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

* I think your second statement about Generations I and II is incorrect. According to [http://www.geocities.com/thelegendarydogs/faqs/all/genes/genesfaq.htm this GenI&II Pokémon DVs guide], defeating a Pokémon added its base stats to your EV scores (called Stat XP in the old terminology), and your EV scores were limited to 65535.

== Effort Values and Stat Experience ==

I saw that on the article it says that Effort Values were created in Gen. I, but weren't they created in Gen. III during the Data Structure Overhaul. The extra 63 points in the first 2 generations were determined by a hidden experience value for each stat value (max - 63,105 exp. points i think), and the amount of hidden exp. you get for a stat is equal to the opponent's base stat for that specific stat.

There is more evidence to support this then the EV theory. Like if you just caught a Lapras in, say, Pokémon Crystal,and you fight 4 Grimers. If the EV theory were correct, you would get 1 point in your HP stat after using the Box Trick, but instead multiple stats rise. Isn't that because each stat rises according to every 1000 points(or something)?

So I was just thinking to suggest that the EV info on Gen. I and II be moved to III, and create a link to a new page, Stat Experience? The SE theory sounds more correct then the EV one for Gens. I and II. What do you guys think? {{unsigned|Dark Boye}}

* In Generations I and II we called it Stat Experience. Nowadays they're called EVs. It's calculated differently now, but it's essentially the same thing - you get faster by fighting Jolteons, and more hit points by fighting Chanseys. I think it makes sense to say they're just different versions of the same thing - after all, as far as I know, both "stat XP" and "Effort Values" are just fan-created names. --[[User:JDigital|JDigital]] 05:14, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

==Stat-reducing Berries==
I'd like to note some things about the Stat Reducing Berries. The fact that they reduce EV's by 10 is correct, but I wanna note that when used on a stat above 100, the stat is reduced down to 100, then each subsequent use is 10 each. Once the berry starts failing, it's either due to the stat having no EV's, or an EV amount below 10. These berries are also very useful in changing a Pokemon's EV spread, a very good thing for an In-game team to make them more competitive.
Also, when used on a Level 100 Pokemon, they WILL reduce the stats, but because they can no longer level up, they cannot raise the stats back up via EV training.[[User:JoeTE|Joe T.E.]] 14:19, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

==Your questions are probably answered here...==
After reading this page, I found that there were a lot of complicated topics that weren't quite answered. Here're the most frequently asked questions answered:

What is EV training, and how is it good?
EV training is a method in which you train one Pokémon against a against a specific group of Pokémon in order to raise the Pokémon's stats. This would be like training a future sweeper against Jolteon so that the sweeper gets faster.

How do I EV train?
Personally, I EV train by finding trainers that have only one species of Pokémon, but others may prefer to train against wild Pokémon. Both methods are equally effective. A common one is PI Carlos just below Veilstone City. Because he has 3 Goldeen (which evolve into Seaking), he gives 3 (or 6) EV's throughout the course of one battle. Although you can have a maximum of 255 EV's in each stat, many trainers opt to put a maximum of 252 EV's in a stat. You can have a maximum of 510 EV's total (shared between stats), and every 4 EV's in a stat boost the stat at level 100 by 1 point.

What about Berries?
If you use a stat-reducing berry on a pokemon that has more than 100 EV's in a stat, it reduces that stat's EV's to 100. From 100 down, however, it reduces the EV's by 10. Kudos to Joe T. E.!

How do I squeeze the most out of EV training?
Ok, so this isn't really an FAQ, but I found some nice ideas to maximize your EV's. First off, putting EV's in a stat increased by nature can make its effect go up from +63 to +69, putting you "one point ahead" in the end!

:I'm still a little puzzeled, butI think I'm getting to understand EVs. Basically by the time I get to level 100 I'll HAVE to have my max EV numbers somewhere right? The only "EV training" is in aiming for those two max stats? Maybe use EV reducer berries to tweak. But after I get those EVs full and in a way I like them, that's all I can do, right? Timing of getting the EVs early/ect don't matter, right? The end result doesn't need babysitting from the very start it looks like/I hope?--[[User:Barakku|Barakku]] 05:06, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

::A Pokémon's stats are pre-calculated, but think of it like this: the difference between the Pokémon's stat now and their stat at level X divided by the number of levels between them equals the stat change. As an example, if a Pokémon's stat at level 100 would be 300, and it's level 99 with 290 as its stat, its next stat gain will be 10.

:::I never bothered with EVs or IVs till now, so I didn't keep track. So what's the formula to calculate the EVs then? Also, does the formula calculate the EVs exactly, or is it just an approximate amount? --[[User:Dual|Dual]] 15:50, 10 October 2009 (UTC)

::::I don't know the formula, so I wouldn't know how exact it would be. You can probably get an aproximate however by going into a Wi-Fi battle and setting levels to 100 (if you don't already have your Pokémon at level 100), than compare the stats to the stats listed on that Pokémon's species page.
::::For example, if I checked my Weavile at level 100 and its Attack stat was at 350, I could compare that to the [[Weavile (Pokémon)#Base stats|base stats]] at level 100 and figure that my Attack EV was somewhere close to maxed-out (since the highest you can get with EVs and IVs combined would be 372 on a Weavile).
::::It's a rough aproxximation, but it'll give you a good idea where you're at.
::::Generally, if you really want to get serious with EV training, you'll want to start fresh with a newly-caught/newly-hatched Pokémon.

== EV Training for Lv 50 battles ==

Since there is currently a world tourney going on with a Lv 50 limit and there also is (and has been for along while) the in-game option of battling with Lv 50 pokémon, I'm surprised that I don't see more information or discussion on the topic. If you are EV training for a Lv 50 battle, then wouldn't you not particularly want 252 EV in a stat? Unless I'm mistaken, you would want floor(252/8) because you are at half the level of Lv 100 battles, where it is four EV per stat point. This would mean that raising a stat to 252 would in fact be a waste of four perfectly usable effort points! Am I mistaken here, or is this assumption correct? [[User:TheCakeIsALie|NonaSuomi]] 02:33, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
:That's actually wrong. You can have max EVs at like level 10 and it wouldn't hurt. [[User:Tc26/Anime Predictions|tc]][[User:Tc26|²₆]][[User talk:Tc26|tc]][[User:Tc26/Sandbox|26]] 02:54, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
::Maxing at any level doesn't matter. It's just at level 100 where full bonus is calculated. At level 100 your Pokémon's stats will range by exactly 31 points for their IVs and exactly 63 points for their EVs. Under 100's are just fractionalized by their level: a level 50 Pokémon would thus have a 15-point or 16-point range in stats due to IVs, while the range due to EVs would be 31 or 32 points. As the Pokémon's level gets higher the discrepancy is greater between untrained and crap-IVs and trained with excellent IVs. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 03:03, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
:::Sorry TTE, but IV points can vary a stat as much as 34 points and as little as 28 points, and EV's can vary as much as 69 points and as little as 57 points depending on the nature. Training a Pokémon earlier rather than later or vice versa has no effect on its stats at level 10, 25, 50 or 100. What appears to happen is that a Pokémon trained later will have a more extreme stat gain in the next level (<s>about 63/(100 - level)</s> (future stat (with EV's) - current stat) points more than usual if fully trained in one level).

::::I think my question has been misunderstood here. What I want to ask is this: since at level 100 it takes four effort points to add a single point in any stat, wouldn't it make sense that it would take 8 points at exactly half that level? That is what I am asking. Can anyone answer this for me, as it can mean the difference between 252 being the max useful amount and 248 being that number, and with 2 stats at that level, you'd have eight effort points to spare, meaning one stat point anywhere you chose...

:::::In an attempt to answer your multi-faceted question, yes, it would be more thrifty to put only 248 EV's in a stat if you intend to keep that Pokémon at level 50. The extra point in the stat with 252 would be rounded down anyway, so putting in 248 is a much better choice. If you intend, however, to train the Pokémon to level 100, it would max out the stat with only 252.

:It depends on whether the IV is even or odd, if it's odd you need 252 to max the stat, if even only 248. Any other level and you would have to consider the whole IV and the Base stat too, but the EV needed for max stat will always be a multiple of 4.

== Confused about Effort Values and Effort Points ==

In the first paragraph under Generation III, it begins by describing the new effort points, but the example uses effort values:

:Generation III completely overhauls the effort value structure. Defeated Pokémon give out 1, 2 or 3 ''effort points'' to a particular stat, depending on species (see list of Pokémon by effort value yield). However, in battles that do not give any experience (such as in the Battle Tower or if the Pokémon is level 100), Pokémon will not gain any ''EVs.'' At level 100, a Pokémon's stats will be one point higher in a specific stat for every four effort points gained in that stat.

The way that I read the second sentence, no pokémon at any level from Generation 3 on would earn effort values since they were replaced by effort points. If effort points and effort values are the same thing, using both terms is confusing. If effort points are converted into effort values, that should be stated with the conversion rate.

If a level 100 pokémon cannot gain any experience from battle, how would it be getting effort points or a stat increase at all?

One more thing: Does the mew in the Generation 1 example grant 100 (points) to each effort value or 100 effort values to each stat? [[User:White Phoenix|White Phoenix]] 21:56, 20 November 2009 (UTC)
:From how I see it, defeating one Mew in Generation I grants 100 points to each effort value. My interpretation of the article is that an "effort point" or "effort value point" refers to stat exp. that has been gained, and "effort value" is the total amount of effort points that has been "collected" in a particular stat. For example, a Pokémon that defeats a Mew will gain 100 effort points in each stat, and its effort values for each stat will therefore increase by 100. However, it looks like many people often say "effort values" when they really mean "effort points", which is extremely confusing. [[User:Ultraflame|Ultraflame]] 02:47, 21 November 2009 (UTC)

::So you would wind up with effort points ''and'' effort values? Oh, the effort value is in increments of effort points. It’s like having a hundred dollars in one-dollar bills. You have 100 dollar bills which is 100 dollars. But who ever says they have a hundred dollar bills in their account? [[User:White Phoenix|White Phoenix]] 02:29, 27 November 2009 (UTC)

:::One Effort Value = One Effort Point. The names were changed starting with Generation III it appears (from Value to Point), but the EV term is still the most commonly used.
:::The article needs a bit of a re-write to clarify this; some editors have written it as Points, while others have written it as Values, which is why the current article is a little convoluted on that particular regard.

It might be worth mentioning that while you can't EV train at level 100, you can use vitamins. [[User:Smythe|Smythe]] 10:20, 2 March 2010 (UTC)

== A Few Questions... ==

Having read through the whole talk page, there are a few things I'm still not entirely clear on.

Firstly, does the level at which a Pokémon gains it's EVs matter? For instance, if I were to train a certain Pokémon to have 252 HP EVs at level 40, and then do the same with an identical Pokémon at level 70 and then raise both up to level 100 will the ultimate result be that both Pokémon have the same maxed HP stat?

Secondly, Is it smarter to maximize two selected stats of a Pokémon, or to spread the EVs around evenly? Example: Gengar has naturally high Speed and Special Attack stats, so, would this Pokémon be most competitive if it had 252 EVs in each of these stats? or would that just make it less flexible in battle?

Thirdly, I read somewhere on this page that "All Pokémon that gain EXP from defeating another Pokémon will get EVs." Does this include EXP gained through the use of an EXP. Share? If so, do the EVs get divided among the Pokémon in the same manner as the EXP? Or does each Pokémon that gained EXP from a battle then gain the full EV yield?

I apologise if any of these questions have already been answered and I simply missed them... ~ [[User:Ender Phoenix|Ender Phoenix]] 06:02, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

#Level won't matter, so long as it's not at level 100 when it gains the EVs (so it still has level-ups left to receive the bonuses). At level 100, both of your examples would have the same stats (not counting any differences in [[nature]] or [[IVs]]).
#This depends, but generally speaking, you'll focus on two main stats. There are some instances where you'll want a bit of a spread, but normally you'll always max out HP on a defensive Pokémon and put the rest of the points into either one or both of the defense stats, or on an offensive Pokémon, perhaps allocate the majority of the points to Speed and the rest to one of the attack stats. Sites like Smogon.com list popular movesets and EV spreads for nearly every Pokémon used competitively, and can be a good way to get a feel for how a competitive set might look.
#Exp. Share will split the EXP, but both Pokémon will get the full EVs. If you defeat a {{p|Pikachu}} while one of your other party members has an Exp. Share, both your active Pokémon and the one with the Exp. Share will get 2 Speed EVs. --[[user:Jioruji_Derako| '''J'''ïörüjï '''Ð'''ērākō.'''>''']][[user talk:Jioruji Derako|''.cнаt'''''^''']] 03:50, 6 March 2010 (UTC)

::Thanks for your answers, thats exactly what I needed to know! ~ [[User:Ender Phoenix|Ender Phoenix]] 00:27, 7 March 2010 (UTC)

Related question: If a Pokemon holding a Macho Brace or other EV-affecting item is switched into battle, and therefore two or more Pokemon earn experience from the battle WITHOUT the use of an Exp. Share, do the Pokemon without the EV-affecting item receive the normal number of EVs or the increased number? I know that Pokerus affects only the Pokemon experiencing it, but I can't find any description of the mechanics for a normal shared experience scenario as opposed to one involving an Exp. Share.

== Box Trick ==

The article never states if you can still use the box trick to raise stats when at level 100. I'm wondering if you can un-train then re-train the EVs of lv 100 Pokémon.[[User:Valorum27|Valorum27]] 00:51, 10 April 2010 (UTC)

== An Additional Question ==
Sorry if this seems a bit picky, but I wanted a direct answer to this question rather than assume the answer. I know you have 510 EVs to distribute to a single Pokémon, and you can only use 255 EVs for one stat. Is it possible to max out a stat (spend 255 EVs on it), but still continue to waste your 510 EVs on that stat? Like, if you invested 255 EVs to speed (and thus only have 255 EVs total to work with) then battled a Zubat, would you now have only 254 EVs to work with or do you still have 255? [[User:Goddessofevil9|Goddessofevil9]] 01:46, 14 April 2010 (UTC)
:The 255 cap is just that, a cap. Once you get 255 in a stat, no other EVs in that stat will be counted, so you still have 255 EVs left to put into other stats. --[[user:Jioruji_Derako| '''J'''ïörüjï '''Ð'''ērākō.'''>''']][[user talk:Jioruji Derako|''.cнаt'''''^''']] 01:48, 14 April 2010 (UTC)

Frankly, it's fantastic news, since I'm EV training a zangoose the horribly lazy way. Pokérus, Power Bracer and beating a whole bunch of floatzel.

== Excuse me... ==

HI, I'm new!... That aside, could someone please explain the following situation? I think it might be useful to people... Anyway, I came across EVs recently and decided to train my [[Kadabra (Pokémon)|Alakaz]] in Sp. Atk. and Speed. His EVs were already maxed, so I thought of using the EV-reducing berries. I also tried some on a {{p|Houndoom}}, for happiness. These are the messages I got:

I used a lot of [[Grepa berry|Grepa berries]], and then some {{b|Kelpsy}} and {{b|Qualot}}. His happiness was always at max. At first I got the message "Alakaz adores you! Its base Sp. Def. fell." After some Grepas, I got the message "It won't have any effect." Then I fed him some Kelpsy, and I got the message "Alakaz adores you! Its base Attack fell"... Then I tried a few Pomeg berries on [[Houndoom (Pokémon)|Houndark]]. At first the normal message showed, but I didn't see the HP go down. Then, after the third one, I got "Houndark became more friendly. Its base HP won't go lower."

Can someone please explain? I'm [[User:Togepikachu|TogePikachu]], thank you. 10:24, 24 April 2010 (UTC)

:*Your Alakaz must have had maximum happiness, as well as some Attack and Sp. Def. EPs. Using a reduction berry on a Pokémon with maximum happiness but nonzero EV will give you the "adores you" message. But once you erased all of Alakaz's Sp. Def. EPs, since Alakaz already had maximum happiness and 0 Sp. Def. EV, more Grepa berries would not have any effect (and the game told you). Alakaz still had some Attack EPs, so Kelpsy berries would still have an effect by reducing its Attack EV.
:*Your Houndark had 11-20 HP EPs before you used the Pomeg berries (after the Pomeg berries, it had 0), but that was not enough to make a difference in its HP stat at that level. Your Houndark did not reach maximum happiness even after you gave it the Pomeg berries, so using further Pomeg berries would still have an effect by increasing its happiness.

:It's not possible to definitively determine if your Pokémon is maxed out (unless if one of its stats has IV 15 and that stat was maxed before - then you know it's absolutely maxed) without outside hardware, such as a cheating device. Couldn't reduce EVs until late Generation III, so it's really hard to determine a Generation I or II Pokémon's stat potential.

== Is "Effort values" an official terminology? ==

I see in the Pokémon Emerald Official Encyclopaedia (a Japanese official book), and in the Route 9 Department Store of Pokémon Black & White, effort value is called "基礎ポイント" (base point) in Japanese. I want to know, is the terminology "Effort values / 努力値" (as well as base stats, IV, others..) referred in any official media?

:I have never seen official Pokémon media use "effort value" or "effort point". In fact, in the English Generation IV games, the descriptions for the vitamins (HP Up, Protein, etc.) and the EV-reduction berries (Pomeg, Kelpsy, etc.) also mention "base" stat. For example, the in-game description of the HP Up item is, "''A nutritious drink for Pokémon. It raises the '''base HP''' of one Pokémon.''" I think that IV (individual value) is also an unofficial term, but I'm not sure about other terminology. [[User:Ultraflame|Ultraflame]] 15:54, 2 October 2010 (UTC)
::I think the reason that they do this is because although IV's and EV's are separate data, when calculating stats they are pretty much just addons to the base stats.

== Effect on stat points ==

The German Pokéwiki has this to say about effort values. Here is a rough translation:

"At level 100, four EV's in a particular stat will result in an increase of one point for that stat. At other levels, the number of EV's needed to do so is as follows:

*Level 0-19: 40
*Level 20-29: 20
*Level 30-39: 13.3
*Level 40-49: 10
*Level 50-59: 8
*Level 60-69: 6.6
*Level 70-79: 5.7
*Level 80-89: 5

:::Technically, that chart is only an approximation. You didn't screw Bulbasaur out of any EV's, but it's not always obvious the work that the EV's are doing. To answer your question, yes, that +1 you got at Level 2 will... actually grow into +20 at Level 41. The figure of "40" only works for Level 10. At level 2, it actually takes 200 EV's to raise the Sp.Atk by 1 point. It's just that that +20 will be spread about through the other 38 levels, so you won't see it discretely.

:Yes, here: [http://www.smogon.com/forums/showthread.php?t=79340&page=62]. [[User:Pikiwyn|'''''Pikiwyn''''']] [[User talk:Pikiwyn|<tt>'''''talk'''''</tt>]] 12:22, 12 November 2010 (UTC)

== Still a bit confused... ==

So are Rare Candies okay if you've already got all your desired 512 EVs? Or is it better to level it up through battling, manually, all the way to Level 100?

And would the following method work to get the best possible stats for a Pokemon with the same IVs?
Say: a Level 50 Gyarados with mixed random EVs via battling throughout the storyline, fed as many stat-reducing berries as possible, and then battled the correct number of the correct type of Pokemon to get 252/252/6 EVs, and then leveled up with a bunch of Rare Candies to Level 100?
:If the Pokémon has 510 EVs total then it doesn't matter whether you use Rare Candies or Battle experience to further level it up. And yes, that method should work. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 01:45, 24 November 2010 (UTC)

== Gen III Deoxys ==

It should be mentioned somewhere in the article, that the only Pokémon that gets stats recalculated at the end of every battle in Gen III is {{p|Deoxys}}, as opposed to the other Pokémon, which get their stats recalculated in the box or by leveling up. I recall, when I first got an event Deoxys in my FireRed game, I noticed that it wasn't getting normal stat recalculation upon leveling up when I was EV training it. Then I noticed that in FR/LG/E, the alternate formes of Deoxys have that behavior upon battling: their stats grow after every battle instead of the normal way of gaining a boost upon level-up. This doesn't happen with the normal Deoxys from R/S. Anyone feel free to add it to the article (and confirm it, if you have time and Deoxys, too). '''[[User:Hfc2x|hfc]][[User talk:Hfc2x|2X]]''' 21:58, 17 January 2011 (UTC)

== As for the "recalculations" in Gen. V ==

I'm rather confused as to what "stats being recalculated after every battle" entails. Does it mean that even if, say, your Emboar is fully EV trained, its EVs can still be changed just by its being in more battles? Sorry, I might just be missing some obvious wording, but it'd help if someone would clear this up.... [[User:Sadistic Blaziken|Puppy]] of [[User talk:Sadistic Blaziken|Doom]] and [[Poochyena (Pokémon)|Destruction]] 19:43, 27 February 2011 (UTC)
:In Generations III and IV, if, say, you have a Pokémon (not Deoxys) with 100 Attack and zero Attack EVs, if it then gains 252 Attack EVs without leveling up, evolving, going in the PC box, or using any vitamins, its Attack will still be 100 until you do one of those things. In Generation V, this is changed so that increases in EVs will automatically increase stats as appropriate after every battle without the need of the [[box trick]] or similar. —[[User:Minimiscience|Minimiscience]] 19:58, 27 February 2011 (UTC)
::Ah, so basically the stats are fully realized ''when you finish EV Training'' versus when reaching Level 100? And level gain is no longer required to have EVs account ''at all''? Exciting. Thank you very much for the clarification. [[User:Sadistic Blaziken|Puppy]] of [[User talk:Sadistic Blaziken|Doom]] and [[Poochyena (Pokémon)|Destruction]] 19:13, 3 March 2011 (UTC)

== Effort Values checker? ==

According to the articles regarding [[Blackthorn City]] and [[Opelucid City]], there is a lady who gives you a rough idea of your Pokemon's EVs. Can we get a list of phrases? In my playing experience, the only thing this person has ''ever'' said about any of my Pokémon is "It looks like your [Pokémon] ... could try a little harder", whether it's my Starter (who has long since maxed out a few EVs) or a freshly bred/caught Pokemon with no EVs at all. --''[[User:Stratelier|Stratelier]] 18:16, 14 April 2011 (UTC)''
:To my understanding, there are only two phrases. She will say "Could try a little harder" if you have not hit 510, and "has put in great effort" if it is at 510.[[User:Poke poke poke|Poke poke poke]] 23:59, 21 April 2011 (UTC)

== Switching out ==

How does switching out work with EVs? Say I have a Nosepass, holding a Power Belt, as my lead Pokémon, and find a wild Geodude. I automatically send out my Nosepass, of course, then switch to my Weavile and KO the geodude. Will my Nosepass now gain 5 Defense EVs (Geodude's 1 given + 4 from the Power Belt) or 1, or none? On a side note, this page is getting pretty long. Are article talk pages ever archived or does that only apply to user talk pages? [[User:EnosShayrem|Enos]][[Shaymin (Pokémon)|Shay]][[Kyurem (Pokémon)|rem]][[User_talk:EnosShayrem|Talk]] 16:36, 21 May 2011 (UTC)
:OK, I didn't see the conversation a few above me, and unless I'm horribly wrong here, the power items will always give extra EVs when the Pokémon gains EVs from battle, so goodbye. [[User:EnosShayrem|Enos]][[Shaymin (Pokémon)|Shay]][[Kyurem (Pokémon)|rem]][[User_talk:EnosShayrem|Talk]] 16:44, 21 May 2011 (UTC)

== Generation II confusion about special ==

It says generation II is the same as generation I, and the special attack and special defence stat share the EV for special. That makes sense for backwards compatibility, but when I'm trying to keep track of my EVs in generation II I can't work out which one is used.

Example: Hoothoot has sp. atk. and sp. def. of 36 and 56 respectively. Generation II uses just one EV for both, so when I kill a hoothoot, what gets added to the single EV for special? 36 or 56? I'm trying to keep track of how many EVs (or stat exp) my pokémon have earned, but don't know what to do for special and I can't find the answer anywhere. --[[User:Pan|Pan]] 09:36, 30 July 2011 (UTC)

==So...==
This may be the same as a question above but is it possible to put more than 252 or 255 EVs into a stat? Like all 510? Or does it stop at 252 or 255? [[User:RedYoshi|RedYoshi]] 18:14, 19 September 2011 (UTC)
:It stops at 255. But since 4 EVs are needed to increase a stat by one at level 100, there's not much point putting the final three into the stat. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 18:44, 19 September 2011 (UTC)

Is this what is needed to max out stats: IVs of 31 + the right nature/characteristic + 255 EVs? And is it true that you can only max out ''2'' stats? [[User:RedYoshi|RedYoshi]] 21:59, 19 September 2011 (UTC)
:I think that's right, I have a Hacked {{p|Arceus}} that was supposed to have Perfect stats, But the nature redid the stats so that only HP and Attack remained maxed. BTW this question seems to be more suited to the forums.

== Working in Gen V ==

Okay, first of all I've been EV training for a while in my Pokemon white. I check the stats before and after every battle, and the stats are never recalculated for the said Pokemon. Can anyone explain this to me? [[User:Flygonfanno1|Flygonfanno1]]

Yes, I have the same problem. [[User:RedYoshi|RedYoshi]] 18:52, 16 November 2011 (UTC)

:<s>From the Generation III section, still relevant in Generation V: "For every Pokémon that has gained Effort Points in battle, stats will be recalculated upon leveling up, except for Deoxys, whose stats are recalculated after every battle instead."</s> Nevermind, I was thinking about Gen. IV. [[User:Shiny Porygon|Shiny Porygon]] 18:35, 29 November 2011 (UTC)
::Shiny Porygon, the Gen V section tells you that they're now recalculated after every battle, not after levelling up.

::It may just be that your Pokémon's at a low level, so a small amount of EVs don't make a difference yet. What level is the Pokémon you're EV training? - [[User:Blazios|Blazios]] [[User Talk:Blazios|talk]] 14:57, 29 November 2011 (UTC)

== Working with the earliest form of EV training ==

I just got the base stats of the Pokemon list printed from bulbapedia and I need a bit of guidance. I don't really understand how much effort value a Pokemon will yield if it has a different base Special Attack than Special Defense. There was only Special in gen 1 and the Stat EXP I read gave a poor example such as defeating 656 Mew give Max EVS since it's obvious that he has a base stat of 100 all over, meaning he can end up with all the same stats at level 100 with Max DVs and EVs. If an Eevee is defeated on Pokemon Yellow, since that is your first rival battle with an Eevee, does Pikachu gain an average of 54.17 Stat EXP in all stats or does he gain a separate 55 HP, 55 Attack, 55 Speed, 50 Defense and 45 or 65 Special Stat EXP? Or does Pikachu gain a total of 325 Stat EXP? How does this work and how do you keep track of this? I wish someone answered me on Yahoo Answers so I wouldn't have to ask here. ([[User:MichaelXD|MichaelXD]] 23:32, 12 February 2012 (UTC))

Or since 45 and 65 /2 is 55 on average would it gain an average of 55 Special instead? ([[User:MichaelXD|MichaelXD]] 23:39, 12 February 2012 (UTC))
:The Generation I special stat is listed in the footer of the stats template for the relevant Pokemon. They can't be determined from the Gen II and onwards stats. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 03:18, 13 February 2012 (UTC)

Where is the footer of the stats template for the first 151 Pokemon? Also if I managed to take down an Eevee, 3 Pidgey, a Rattata, a Mankey, a Nidoran ♂, a Nidoran ◙, and a Spearow in Yellow with Pikachu in that order, how would the Stat EXP or their base stats converted to Stat EXP add up to my Pikachu's overall stats? ([[User:MichaelXD|MichaelXD]] 03:43, 13 February 2012 (UTC))

I'm going to inform you that I have found the template. I may need to ask my mom to print a separate page only for gen 1 since it's a bad idea to mix up Special Attacks with Special Defenses base stats for Pokemon Stadium as it doesn't help me very much. But you could pretty much explain how those are converted after I read my stats knowing that they must have different base stats everywhere.

Whenever there's a dirty cartridge, it just stays white in my Generation III games, and it stays on the DS or DSi Menu saying "There is no cartridge in the game slot". It never freezes. I played a game and dropped it, the cartridge flew out! Also, dropping my DS on concrete made the green light disabled.

::It depends on what type of junk got on it. I've seen older games freeze when the cartridge is dirty. It's not often, and hard to make happen, because most of the time it won't read it. But for a lot of games that use discs, such as Playstation, X Box, and computers, if a certain part of the disc is scratched or dirty, the game will freeze, kind of like a DVD. DVDs can skip that certain part though, but games can't.
::On the topic of dropping, I have dropped my DS and frozen Pearl before. More than once, actually.

'''Orre Colosseum''' (Japanese: '''オーレコロシアム''' ''Ōre Colosseum'') is the main colosseum in [[Orre]], besides [[Realgam Tower]]. Orre Colosseum is famous for its hard battles.

==Geography==
The Orre Colosseum is a large Colosseum in the middle of the desert, where only the strongest trainers go to. It looks as if it was built many centuries ago, and was built out of old stone and rocks. From a certain point of view, the Colosseum can be seen as if the main character's pose when he prepares to throw a snag ball. The large stones to represent his fingers, and the Colosseum to represent his [[Poké Ball]].

==Pokémon Colosseum==
In '''Pokémon Colosseum''', it can only be found in the [[Battle Mode (Stadium)|Battle Mode]], where a level 50 version appears after all level 50 Colosseums ([[Phenac Stadium]], [[Pyrite Colosseum]] and [[Under Colosseum]]) are completed and a level 100 version when the level 100 Colosseum ([[Tower Colosseum]]) is completed. Orre Colosseum comes in Single and Double; players must beat the Single and Double modes of each level, respectively. Orre Colosseum has tournaments with eight battles, each 3 vs. 3.

==Pokémon XD==
In '''Pokémon XD''', the Orre Colosseum is found in the main RPG, as there is no Battle Mode. It can only be accessed after a fight with Eagun, after [[Citadark Isle]] has been completed and [[Greevil]] defeated. This reincarnation specializes in [[double battle]]s - each round contains 4 battles, each 4 vs. 4. The AI here is smarter than any other in the game. The opponent's Pokémon levels also rise to match the player's highest leveled Pokémon.

On Battle #4 of each round, the player will battle a character that was seen earlier in the game. Once beaten, they will give a reward, and a title. In the order that they are defeated:

Talk:Error message

2012-02-09T03:13:33Z

MichaelXD: /* 16 Error? */

==Death error==

The "''Death error''" is '''''not''''' an actual error code existent within [[Generation I]]. The screenshot simply provides an example of a [[Game freeze]]. Along these lines the explanation that the 'game coding is beyond repair' is misleading as many Pokémon glitches crash the game but rarely ever affect the game save. --[[User:Chickasaurus|Chickasaurus]] 20:29, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

==Error messages and error codes==

Why don't we make a seperate page for error messages such as "This Pokémon cannot be traded!". The actual error codes could be placed in a seperate page, we could also summarise the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection error codes. --[[User:Chickasaurus|Chickasaurus]] 10:50, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
:I think that is a good idea, because those are quite different and aren't glitches. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 22:54, 30 March 2010 (UTC)
::Sorry about the unsigned comment by the way, I must have been so tired, I'll clear up my grammar because it was bad too. --[[User:Chickasaurus|Chickasaurus]] 10:50, 1 April 2010 (UTC)

http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/showthread.php?p=1587558#post1587558 Anyone else get this? Any more error codes?

== Multiple Generations ==

If this is in Generations I & II, Should this be moved to the 'In multiple generations' category? {{unsigned|Higejolly}}

== 16 Error? ==

Does anyone have any idea what this is? I encountered it when I was researching the glitch Pokemon C. {{unsigned|Eman9405}}
:Maybe it was a mixed error. A combonation of error 1 and error 6. The article text says ''Sometimes the game will seem to mix error codes in between text; for example "9" with 2 Error. This would display "92 Error." but this is not an official error code.''. So maybe it was simmilar to that. [[User:Pokemaster97|--Pokemaster]][[User talk:Pokemaster97|97]] 03:19, 28 November 2011 (UTC)

== BG Event ==

"Theoretically would appear when the player triggers a hidden event (such as leaving New Bark Town without a Pokémon) which has no script defined"

Not to totally disagree with what this says but I have a question of how it looks like. I have been leaving New Bark Town without a Pokemon on all 3 of my games many times, so how could it have no script defined if the girl who later adores your Pokemon say, "Gold, Silver, Kris, what are you doing? It's dangerous to go without a Pokemon of your own. Wild Pokemon jump out everywhere on the way to Cherrygrove City." Is that what that means?

Also I have a secondary question on the 1 error. Since it takes so long to set up this error by obtaining 152 Pokemon in at least Red, Blue, or Yellow, how do the characters respond to that in the game?

"The game is unable to complete an event. For example, this error message can appear when the player is talking to someone and the game does not have anything valid to say. This can be seen in Pokémon Yellow when the player finishes the game with 152 entries in the Pokédex." ([[User:MichaelXD|MichaelXD]] 03:13, 9 February 2012 (UTC))

List of glitches in Generation II

2012-02-09T02:58:34Z

MichaelXD: /* Player sprite glitch */

This is a '''list of glitches''' that occur in the [[Generation II]] [[main series]] [[Pokémon games]].

==In Pokémon Gold and Silver==
===Present glitch===
{{main|Present (move)#Generation II}}
In Gold and Silver, the move {{m|Present}} is glitched and the Level, Attack, and Defense variables of the damage formula are replaced. This causes the move to deal unusually large or small amounts of damage depending on the Pokémon. This glitch is not present in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]] or {{game|Crystal}}.

===Trainer House glitch===
{{main|Trainer House glitch}}
This glitch affects the Trainer in the [[Trainer House]]. It is caused by corrupted RAM for save data in {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}. It is not present in {{game|Crystal}}.

===Bug-Catching Contest data copy glitch===
{{main|Bug-Catching Contest data copy glitch}}
This glitch only appears in the Japanese versions of Gold and Silver, when a player {{m|Fly|flies}} out of the Bug-Catching Contest causing the creation of unstable Pokémon data. The glitch was fixed in Pokémon Crystal and in all international releases of Generation II games.

==In Pokémon Crystal==
====Player sprite glitch====
A glitch that can be found in {{game|Crystal}}. This glitch causes an overworld sprite color switch between {{ga|Ethan}} and {{ga|Kris}}. It is caused by creating a save file as one gender of character, then overwriting it with another gender of character, but turning off while it is overwriting. It disappears after saving and resetting the game. Note that the old save file will be overwritten. Not only that, but after doing this glitch, if any Pokemon are to be in the PC at this time, all Pokemon will be lost.

{{youtubevid|fcB1LRVhX7E|Zachtheglitchbuster|Crystal}}

==In all Generation II games==
===Celebi egg glitch===
{{main|Celebi egg glitch}}

===Coin Case glitches===
{{main|Coin Case glitches}}

===Egg black out glitch===
If an egg is obtained before any other Pokémon, the player will repeatedly [[black out]] and be forced to restart the game. This was remedied in [[Generation III]] and later games by requiring the player to have two Pokémon with them in order to trade, rather than just one. An egg can only be achieved with the aide of a hacking device. Therefore, it is not real so some other reason causes the players to have more than one Pokemon to trade in the 3rd generation.

===Error codes===
{{main|Error codes}}

===Exp. Share glitch===
{{incomplete|section|needs=Is experience lost or gained?}}
If a Pokémon with the same [[original Trainer]] as the player is sent into battle with an {{DL|Experience-affecting item|Exp. Share}} held, that Pokémon will gain half of the experience twice (with each half being rounded individually), meaning that it doesn't receive 100% of the experience.

===Experience underflow glitch===
{{main|Experience#Experience underflow glitch}}
In Generations I and II, level 1 Pokémon using the "medium-slow" growth algorithm will jump from level 1 to level 100 after gaining a {{tt|low amount|less than 54 if total experience is 0}} of experience points.

{{youtubevid|SXH8u0plHrE|TTEchidna|Gold}}

===Leveling past 100===
In Generation I and II, if a Pokémon is obtained at a level above 100, it can be leveled up with [[Rare Candies]] up to level 255. If a Rare Candy is fed to a level 255 Pokémon, its level will be reset to 0. If a Pokémon above level 100 levels up due to [[experience]], its level will be reset to 100.

===Love Ball glitch===
The {{DL|Poké Ball|Love Ball}} only gains a catch rate of 8× on Pokémon of the same [[gender]] and species as the player's Pokémon, rather than the opposite gender. This was corrected in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}.

===Pokémon storage system cloning===
{{main|Pokémon cloning#Storage system method}}

===Sketch glitch===
{{main|Sketch glitch}}

===Thick Club glitch===
If a {{p|Marowak}} with a maximum {{stat|Attack}} stat (maximum {{IV}}s and [[effort values|Stat Exp]] in Attack) uses {{m|Swords Dance}} while holding a [[Thick Club]], its Attack will overflow to 8. This glitch is not present in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]].

===Trade cloning===
{{main|Pokémon cloning#Trading method}}

===Transform assumption glitch===
In Generation {{gen|I}} and {{gen|II}}, any Pokémon that uses {{m|Transform}} is regarded as a {{p|Ditto}} in its new form; this means that if the player catches a {{p|Mew}} or a [[glitch Pokémon]] which has used the move Transform, instead they will obtain a Ditto; this was not an issue, because wild Mew cannot be legitimately encountered. This system was later changed in Generation III, where a wild Mew could be encountered.

==Glitches involving communication with the Generation I games==
===Johto guard glitch===
{{main|Johto guard glitch}}

===Shiny Ditto glitch===
The Shiny Ditto glitch requires a game from [[Generation I]] and [[Generation II]], but only has an effect on a Generation II game. In Generation I, if a Pokémon uses the move {{m|Transform}} while already transformed, after being caught it will retain the {{IV}}s of the Pokémon it transformed into. Due to Shininess being determined by IVs in Generations I and II, this allows the player to make a wild Ditto Shiny by having it use Transform while already Transformed; this can be accomplished by either having a Shiny Pokémon that knows Transform ({{p|Mew}}, certain [[glitch Pokémon]], or a another Ditto), or by teaching a Shiny Pokémon Mimic, then having the wild Ditto use Mimic on the move Transform. While Shiny Pokémon do not exist in Generation I, due to being determined by IVs, this Ditto will be Shiny when traded to Generation II.

===Trade evolution glitch===
[[Generation I]] Pokémon that can evolve by trading can be taught glitch moves through this glitch. This can be achieved by trading a trade evolution Pokémon from a Generation I game to a Generation II, at a level where its evolved form will learn a move not in Generation I. Trading the Pokémon back to the Generation I game will cause the move to become a glitch move.

For example, trading a level 34 {{p|Graveler}} from {{game3|Red and Blue|Pokémon Red|s}} to {{game3|Gold and Silver|Pokémon Gold|s}} will make the Graveler evolve into {{p|Golem}}. Since it is level 34, it will learn {{m|Rollout}}. If it is then traded back to Pokémon Red, it will still have the move, but the game won't recognize it properly since it is a Generation II move, so will become {{m|TM05}}.

==In the side games==
===Pokémon Stadium 2===
====Infinite continues glitch====
The infinite continues glitch is a glitch that can be performed in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]] with any [[Stadium Cup]]. It does not work in the original {{eng|Pokémon Stadium}}. If there is a previously suspended game and the player is playing the [[Stadium Cup]], suspending the game after a loss causes a warning message to pop up, telling the player that there is already a suspended game. If "Continue without Suspending" is selected, a rematch with the opponent who just defeated the player will be triggered, but no continue will be used.

This was remedied in [[Generation III]] and later games by requiring the player to have two Pokémon with them in order to trade, rather than just one. An egg can only be achieved with the aide of a hacking device. Therefore, it is not real so some other reason causes the players to have more than one Pokemon to trade in the 3rd generation.

===Error codes===
{{main|Error codes}}

===Exp. Share glitch===
{{incomplete|section|needs=Is experience lost or gained?}}
If a Pokémon with the same [[original Trainer]] as the player is sent into battle with an {{DL|Experience-affecting item|Exp. Share}} held, that Pokémon will gain half of the experience twice (with each half being rounded individually), meaning that it doesn't receive 100% of the experience.

===Experience underflow glitch===
{{main|Experience#Experience underflow glitch}}
In Generations I and II, level 1 Pokémon using the "medium-slow" growth algorithm will jump from level 1 to level 100 after gaining a {{tt|low amount|less than 54 if total experience is 0}} of experience points.

{{youtubevid|SXH8u0plHrE|TTEchidna|Gold}}

===Leveling past 100===
In Generation I and II, if a Pokémon is obtained at a level above 100, it can be leveled up with [[Rare Candies]] up to level 255. If a Rare Candy is fed to a level 255 Pokémon, its level will be reset to 0. If a Pokémon above level 100 levels up due to [[experience]], its level will be reset to 100.

===Love Ball glitch===
The {{DL|Poké Ball|Love Ball}} only gains a catch rate of 8× on Pokémon of the same [[gender]] and species as the player's Pokémon, rather than the opposite gender. This was corrected in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}.

===Pokémon storage system cloning===
{{main|Pokémon cloning#Storage system method}}

===Sketch glitch===
{{main|Sketch glitch}}

===Thick Club glitch===
If a {{p|Marowak}} with a maximum {{stat|Attack}} stat (maximum {{IV}}s and [[effort values|Stat Exp]] in Attack) uses {{m|Swords Dance}} while holding a [[Thick Club]], its Attack will overflow to 8. This glitch is not present in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]].

===Trade cloning===
{{main|Pokémon cloning#Trading method}}

===Transform assumption glitch===
In Generation {{gen|I}} and {{gen|II}}, any Pokémon that uses {{m|Transform}} is regarded as a {{p|Ditto}} in its new form; this means that if the player catches a {{p|Mew}} or a [[glitch Pokémon]] which has used the move Transform, instead they will obtain a Ditto; this was not an issue, because wild Mew cannot be legitimately encountered. This system was later changed in Generation III, where a wild Mew could be encountered.

==Glitches involving communication with the Generation I games==
===Johto guard glitch===
{{main|Johto guard glitch}}

===Shiny Ditto glitch===
The Shiny Ditto glitch requires a game from [[Generation I]] and [[Generation II]], but only has an effect on a Generation II game. In Generation I, if a Pokémon uses the move {{m|Transform}} while already transformed, after being caught it will retain the {{IV}}s of the Pokémon it transformed into. Due to Shininess being determined by IVs in Generations I and II, this allows the player to make a wild Ditto Shiny by having it use Transform while already Transformed; this can be accomplished by either having a Shiny Pokémon that knows Transform ({{p|Mew}}, certain [[glitch Pokémon]], or a another Ditto), or by teaching a Shiny Pokémon Mimic, then having the wild Ditto use Mimic on the move Transform. While Shiny Pokémon do not exist in Generation I, due to being determined by IVs, this Ditto will be Shiny when traded to Generation II.

===Trade evolution glitch===
[[Generation I]] Pokémon that can evolve by trading can be taught glitch moves through this glitch. This can be achieved by trading a trade evolution Pokémon from a Generation I game to a Generation II, at a level where its evolved form will learn a move not in Generation I. Trading the Pokémon back to the Generation I game will cause the move to become a glitch move.

For example, trading a level 34 {{p|Graveler}} from {{game3|Red and Blue|Pokémon Red|s}} to {{game3|Gold and Silver|Pokémon Gold|s}} will make the Graveler evolve into {{p|Golem}}. Since it is level 34, it will learn {{m|Rollout}}. If it is then traded back to Pokémon Red, it will still have the move, but the game won't recognize it properly since it is a Generation II move, so will become {{m|TM05}}.

==In the side games==
===Pokémon Stadium 2===
====Infinite continues glitch====
The infinite continues glitch is a glitch that can be performed in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]] with any [[Stadium Cup]]. It does not work in the original {{eng|Pokémon Stadium}}. If there is a previously suspended game and the player is playing the [[Stadium Cup]], suspending the game after a loss causes a warning message to pop up, telling the player that there is already a suspended game. If "Continue without Suspending" is selected, a rematch with the opponent who just defeated the player will be triggered, but no continue will be used.

==Suggestion for the Wiki==
Where would i post a suggestion for the wiki? Would i ask you... or do I go to the forums. If i do ask you, what would you think about a new project: Pokémon pronunciation. After their names on every Pokémon's page, there should be a pronunciation key. I know Nintendo never gave pronunciation keys, but with the anime, we should be able to get the pronunciations. I only say this because I personally hate not knowing how to pronounce a Pokémon's name, and there's a lot I don't know, and I don't wan to go find what anime episode they are in to listen to when a character says there name. To be honest, I'm not really good with forums, so if this is something that should be brought to the attention of the forums, could you help me set it up? Thank you... [[User:Toadstool|Toadstool]] 23:53, 22 June 2011 (UTC)
:The issue with pronounciations, it the official handbooks have one, the 3D games usually have a different one, the anime often has a third different one, and in some cases the movies have a fourth. Until we can get consistency across all the different media, it's going to be difficult to implement. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 02:44, 23 June 2011 (UTC)

:That is indeed quite bad and unacceptable. However, it isn't recommended to warn people of errors so far after they've happened. Seems that person hasn't edited in a few days anyway. If that person comes back, or indeed you see anyone make such a large grammatical error, it is advised to revert and warn them.

== Large-Scale Pokémon Graph Projects ==

Hello!

[http://s49.photobucket.com/albums/f293/Googlebonker/Pokemon%20Project%20Base%20Stat%20Graphs/][http://s49.photobucket.com/albums/f293/Googlebonker/Pokemon%20Project%20Maximum%20and%20Minimum%20Stat%20Graphs/]

If those don't work, go to photobucket.com and search "Googlebonker."

These are projects I started that I really don't want to take the time to finish. I'd like them to be presented to the Pokémon community for other people to continue work on them.

I enjoyed seeing graphs in an early strategy guide for Pokémon. I don't understand why they stopped using that style of graph and began using numbers of blocks/circles to represent the strength of a Pokémon's Stats. Graphs included in the above-linked albums are more accurate representations of Pokémon's Base Stats and maximum and minimum stats with Hindering, Neutral, and Beneficial Natures.

The files in the "Pokemon Project Base Stat Graphs" album include a blank Base Stats graph, Base Stat comparison charts by evolution chain, and Base Stat graphs for the following Pokémon:

Pokemon #001-#151, all evolutions and/or pre-evolutions of Pokémon #001-#151 not included in those numbers (where applicable), Shuckle, Shedinja, Arceus, Zekrom, and Reshiram

The "Pokemon Project Maximum and Minimum Stat Graphs" (M&MSGs) album includes blank M&MSGs and M&MSGs for the Pokémon listed above. It also contains the albums "Attack Special Attack Defense Special Defense," "HP_," and "Speed." These albums contain color-coded pixels indicating M&MS based on Base Stats. These files can be used in conjunction with a blank M&MSG to more easily make a new M&MSG for a Pokémon.

I already have a guide on how to construct files ready to go.

The "01Items" Album and its sub-albums contain a small amount of files. These files are the basis of a much larger, more time-consuming subproject of graphing Pokémon's M&MS while holding certain items that affect Pokémon's Stats (not the Base Power of Moves).

I don't guarantee all of the information I've graphed is correct.

Thank you for your time and reading. I hope someone or some people can take the reigns of these projects and see them through to completion. [[User:Googlebonker|Googlebonker]] 19:34, 20 July 2011 (UTC)
:The graphs are far less accurate and exact than our bar style. It would also be extremely difficult to implement as opposed to our coded templates. I appreciate the effort and suggestion, but it isnt really feasible. Also, please use the preview button instead of making multiple small edits. -- '''[[User:MAGNEDETH|MAG]][[Special:Contributions/MAGNEDETH|NE]][[User talk:MAGNEDETH|DETH]]''' 04:01, 21 July 2011 (UTC)

I can understand about the feasibility, but far less accurate? Did you open those files or simply look at the thumbnails? Isn`t it possible to have a small version of a picture that shows the full version when a mouse cursor`s tip pixel is placed over any of the small version`s position?

[[User:Googlebonker|Googlebonker]] 06:09, 21 July 2011 (UTC)
::Not with the current version of Mediawiki. We can only have the thumbnail on the page, and when clicked, it loads the image page. It's less desirable than what we have at the moment. The bars are an easy enough way to compare them, for me at least easier, since they all go in the same direction. Also, take in mind that the current template uses relatively little loading - it doesn't use any images from the archives. Even in the show/hides we have, the images are still all loaded when the page is, so a large image would negatively imact the loading times.

== Internamespace redirects ==

Hey there. I was bumming around today and I realized that we don't have many, if any, redirects from the mainspace to the Bulbapedia namespace. If somebody wants to find out, say, who the administrators are, they're probably going to type in "Administrators" or "Admins" into the search bar, which will get them nowhere. Well, not ''nowhere''. They'd have to click around for it. Would you be opposed to having redirects from the mainspace for some of the larger items in the Bulbapedia namespace? Like, the big policies, usergroups, etc. I don't see any inherent problem with it, but I figure there might be some reason why we don't have them.

== Watchlist Curiousity ==

Hi '''MAGNEDETH'''. So here's the thing: A few days ago, I was looking at my watchlist, something I do every now and again, and I saw something on it that made me wonder what it was for. That thing is the little number in parentheses next to the username. You know, the little number that's either green or red. That thing. Normally, I would just disregard it entirely and continue with whatever I was doing, but this time, I stopped to wonder, "Why is this thing here? What is it even for?" And for everyone else out there looking at this, I'll insert a "typed picture" as well to show what I'm talking about. And this is an actual example from my watchlist. So here it is everyone:

'''November 4, 2011'''

See the '''bold green "(+1,757)"'''? That's what got me curious. What is is for? Why is it there? What does it mean? I'm very confused right now. Oh, and, by the way, the large amount of "-"s is for things on my watchlist that I prefer not to post, just to stay out of trouble from other users.

So, that's pretty much it. Bye!

Okay, so here's my problem: while I was on the forums, checking to see if I got any new PMs or replies to my posts or something, I tried to load the page to my profile page and my browser (IE9) said, "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage".

If it is, then I'm guessing that it's undergoing maintenance. If not, then it's probably a problem with my Internet or some other thing. WHY ARE THE FORUMS NOT WORKING?!?! I <3 the forums!

If you type while it's highlighted, then it deletes everything highlighted to replace it with your text. Also, you don't have to use capslock to get your message across.

== Pokémon Apokélypse ==

I watched the trailer again recently, and I listened to Pikachu. I learned they used sound effects from the anime because it obviously sounds like Ikue Ohtani. Also, Meowth didn't speak at all, so I don't understand why he's even on the article. Can I add Ikue Ohtani to the list and what should I do about Meowth? [[User:Pokedex493|Pokedex493]] 03:54, 30 December 2011 (UTC)

== Conversations on the same page ==

Having replies on the same page is not necessary: it has always been personal preference (which can be seen by the few users who state on the top of their page that they like messages together, such as {{u|Kogoro}}). Additionally, [[Bulbapedia:Talk page policy|according to the talk page policy]], when you removed the comment from masatoshi's page, you broke the part of the talk page etiquette that says : "Removing comments is also frowned upon." No where does it state that they need to be on the same userpage when talking to someone, and it shouldn't (we can't force a certain personal preference). Telling the person to do it that way from now on would have been the appropriate action, without removing the comment. The history is now on Masatoshi's page, and if looking at the history on DigiKatana's page, it appears that you are posting messages with someone else's signature (which appears to be a much larger offense). Moral: You can't force users to post on the same page. You can ask them to do that, but as it is personal preference, you cannot force it upon them.

==What do I need to do to get unbanned from the forum==

I was unfairly banned from the forum just because I told everyone I had a brother. There seems to be a mistake. He said that he had a friend who was banned but I never even mentioned his friend as I didn't know that person in the first place. I even said his name was Cycling Road and I am Cycling Road's brother and Cycling Road is Max's friend. There's nothing I can do about that. I do have a different birth certificate than them that I'm the youngest out of all his friends. I don't know who's admin of the forum so if this issue needs to be brought up to Archaic, let me know. My brother also had a different friend on who was here last year. ([[User:MichaelXD|MichaelXD]] 18:34, 2 February 2012 (UTC))
