Give me a Christmas present: don't kill my talk page before New Year's. TTEchidna

Some stuff...

What do you think of this?--MisterE13 23:35, 1 November 2009 (UTC)

...kinda overdoes it. TTEchidna 00:40, 2 November 2009 (UTC)

We do it for type effectiveness and it would shrink obviously.--MisterE13 01:26, 2 November 2009 (UTC)

I really don't mean to butt in on here or anything... but I am positive that it's the final stat itself that's affected by the ability, as opposed to the game calculating it normally as if there was a bonus to the base stat. I'm pretty sure that the results would be different... sorry, this just bugs me way too much though when people treat it like a base stat change as opposed to a change to the final stat. >_< ie: max speed Victreebel in the sunlight gets 524 Speed (70 * 2 = 140, with 140 base speed resulting in max 416...). Again, sorry. Don't mean to butt in, just... want things to be correct and all. *cough* →Tinā ^♫★ 01:38, 2 November 2009 (UTC)

But, if the Pokémon were to have that specific stat (which is kinda the point of displaying a "base") then its stat would become that, it could be reworded though.--MisterE13 02:25, 2 November 2009 (UTC)

Well here's the thing: it doesn't change on the stats page of the Pokémon's screen. That number always remains as whatever it is for that specific amount of IVs, EVs, and Nature. And unlike with type, which is a major effect, removing immunities or causing them, or changing weaknesses, this is... just stats calculated based on crap like the weather. TTEchidna 04:58, 2 November 2009 (UTC)

OK, also should I try to add Forme stuff to the evobox, or do you already have a "master plan" as I was informed you do for Volbeat and Illumise?--MisterE13 23:58, 2 November 2009 (UTC)

I was going to get to it eventually, but haven't found a good fit quite yet. Then I hit some snags and it kind of fell out of my radar. I'll get back to work on it later, you don't need to worry about it. TTEchidna 01:20, 3 November 2009 (UTC)

List of Pokemon by evolution family

I was looking at List of Pokémon by evolution family and under the sprite for Tangela someone put the sprite for Rypherior. I know you probably got other stuff to do but the page is protected and only admins can edit it. If you can help, thanks.--Smartkidhen 21:42, 2 November 2009 (UTC)

Whoops. I f'd up. It's in the middle of an upgrade so sometimes I do. TTEchidna 23:19, 2 November 2009 (UTC)

New Seadra pic

The main Seadra page needs a new pic of it. Will this do? --Hmdwgf 17:34, 3 November 2009 (UTC)

Got anything with better colors? TTEchidna 18:54, 3 November 2009 (UTC)

I know what you're saying, but I don't have anything of Seadra in digital color. But I think that pic is good enough. Btw, that's not the full size pic.--Hmdwgf 21:30, 3 November 2009 (UTC)

Well of course not in digital... but the color balance there seems... stark. TTEchidna 21:44, 3 November 2009 (UTC)

Yes, the blue Seadra looks quite harsh on that greenish yellow\black background. There are many more worse pics than this. Take a look at the pic on the "in the anime" section on the main Seadra page. It's pretty bad. --Hmdwgf 22:13, 3 November 2009 (UTC)

Also bad quality. I dunno, see what you can do to reduce the harshness of the contrast. TTEchidna 22:17, 3 November 2009 (UTC)

OK. --Hmdwgf 22:19, 3 November 2009 (UTC)

How's that? --Hmdwgf 22:29, 3 November 2009 (UTC)

Now it's a little too washed-out... go midway between the two. TTEchidna 22:33, 3 November 2009 (UTC)

OK, I think I got it right this time. --Hmdwgf 22:40, 3 November 2009 (UTC)

I agree, it's perfect. TTEchidna 00:26, 4 November 2009 (UTC)

So could you replace that pic with the bad one on this page? I can't do it. --Hmdwgf 00:42, 4 November 2009 (UTC)

Done and done. TTEchidna 00:54, 4 November 2009 (UTC)

Maintenance work

Seems that I was given permissions to contribute in this maintenance project... I was guided to ask from one of certain administrators, which includes you, on details on what's going on. I figured out already that we're going to move all Pokémon Special to Pokémon Adventures and all PiPiPi to MPJ. Is there something else we're going to move?

I'll try to help with anything as much as I can, though I think today is one of the busier days in IRL (ATM writing on the lunch break, will be at school for some 6 hours from now & can edit only on breaks if there are free computers left at the IT class). UltimateSephiroth ^{(about me · chat · edits)} 08:57, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

Just do what you can. There's still categories on Archives that need fixing, too. Check the deletion log and make sure they're all empty. TTEchidna 08:59, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

Sorry

I made a Template similar to yours :P.--ForceFire 12:17, 7 November 2009 (UTC)

Well, I personally think it'd work better if it were organized in columns for each main character, and then we'd have the wild Pokémon and CoD Pokémon separate. TTEchidna 19:14, 7 November 2009 (UTC)

New link template

What do you think of this: A new link template named "UP", for those formerly notable anime Pokés, like Paul's Weavile and Drew's Flygon. It would link to the part of the main article (for example, Paul) that has the info on the Pokémon, such as Paul#Weavile. It would show up as "Paul's Weavile" or "Drew's Flygon", but one could set it to look like, say, "Weavile". What do you think? Alpha CuboneKing 23:43, 7 November 2009 (UTC)

Don't those articles redirect anyway? TTEchidna 01:31, 8 November 2009 (UTC)

Aren't we not supposed to link to redirects? Alpha CuboneKing 01:38, 8 November 2009 (UTC)

If they're redirects that are 99.9% guaranteed to stay, they're fine, like items, for example. Stuff like Slugma, however, is a bad idea, considering the fact that an important one could come into the anime or Adventures or something at any time. TTEchidna 01:47, 8 November 2009 (UTC)

Oh... I am very misleaded today. Sorry to bother, the Alpha CuboneKing 01:50, 8 November 2009 (UTC)

Arceus page

I have an idea. Once I can get some more pics for the Arceus in the latest film, do you think you can program the article to show one picture of each of the types of Arceus appear in the picture box? You did it with this page and it could work here. It's just an idea, btw. --Hmdwgf 09:37, 8 November 2009 (UTC)

Nnnnngh, perhaps. TTEchidna 09:56, 8 November 2009 (UTC)

It's ok. I wasn't really for it anyway. I don't know why I asked. (I wasn't influenced by your opinion) --Hmdwgf 10:21, 8 November 2009 (UTC)

Well, it's not hard, but unless we get that perfect amount of 18 (yes 18), then it'd be odd. TTEchidna 10:22, 8 November 2009 (UTC)

Yes, but it all depends on how many types it changed to during the movie. I haven't seen it yet, so I have no idea. If it changed to all 18 (not likely), then I can get all of them. --Hmdwgf 10:25, 8 November 2009 (UTC)

An idea :o

Hey, I think you are the best person to go to for this, so I thought I'd leave you a message. This is regarding Template:Pokéthlon. The new Kanto version guide books that were recently released have the base performance stats for Pokémon in addition to their maxes. Right now the template only supports the max values, but my idea is that we can expand it to maybe show both the max and base stats? For example, Quilava would look something like this: Speed: ★★★★☆ Power: ★★★☆ Technique: ★★☆ Stamina: ★★★☆ Jump: ★★☆ Would it be a good idea to upgrade it like this? (Yaminokame 09:28, 9 November 2009 (UTC))

We'd have to know the base, though, for all of them... I do want to do that, though. TTEchidna 09:31, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

I could write them all down for you, how would you want me to give you those? It will take a while, but I can do it :) (Yaminokame 09:33, 9 November 2009 (UTC))
