Phantom Thief! Pokémon 7 Article

For the Phantom Thief! Pokémon 7 Article, should I use PTP701?

Kingofun 07:44, 6 September 2009 (UTC)

Sounds good. ZestyCactus 18:30, 6 September 2009 (UTC)

Umm

Why is the main page theme Snorunt and Froslass?

PS: You can get rid of this and reply on my talk if you'd like. --ケンジのガール 05:16, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

September 9 and some other things. --☆Coolピカチュウ! 05:21, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

I figured it was for September 9th, but why? --ケンジのガール 05:35, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

Echy knows more. --☆Coolピカチュウ! 05:36, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

... I know, but WHY? What does Froslass and Snorunt have to do with 09/09/09? D= --ケンジのガール 06:25, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

⑨ deals with a character who has ice powers. --☆Coolピカチュウ! 06:26, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

Wow. It looks awesome. Happy Cirno day. Thanks, :3 Kevzo8 12:07, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

SPOILERS!!!!!!!

Spoiler warning: this article may contain major plot or ending details.

I added some spoiler warnings to the pages about movie characters, as they contained major spoilers for the movies in which they appeared, but then someone deleted them all! Surely it's really important to have warnings on these pages?! Taromon777 14:13, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

If you dont want to be spoiled, then dont look at the page. Simple _Blake ^Talk·Edits 14:36, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

But visitors need to be warned that there are spoilers on the page! What's the point in having any spoiler warnings at all if only some of the articles with spoilers have them? Some people might read the Latios (anime) article example, thinking it doesn't contain spoilers because it has no spoiler warning, and then find out the entire plot of Heroes before they watch it! I know this is an encyclopedia, but it is still really important to include spoiler warnings on all the pages which contain them. Why don't the articles about movie characters need spoiler warnings even though they contain the exact same spoilers that the articles about the movies do? Why did my spoiler warnings get deleted? Please can I have some help from an administrator? Taromon777 09:41, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

I dislike spoiler warnings. May I ask how you believe how we can have an article about anything without filling you in on some kind of plot detail? We may as well put it on every single page. —darklordtrom 09:46, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

I didn't mean a warning for EVERY spoiler, just the major ones. No, we don't need a spoiler warning because an article mentions that Ash sees through Team Rocket's disquise for the three-hundreth time, but if the article mentions that Latios dies, I think that REALLY needs a warning, don't you? Taromon777 10:21, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

We don't need it most of the time but some of the bigger stuff (the few deaths, MD2's plot twist) could do with a warning. --FabuVinny ^{|Talk Page|} 17:57, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

OK, so should I add one to Latios's article? I'm just worried I might start an edit war if someone removes it again. Taromon777 18:18, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

Help!

Can someone tell me on how to include VS in the middle of 2 gym leaders,add winner at the end of two gym leaders and move the whole thing to the left? This is the thing:

10th Pokémon League
Generations II and IV
LtSurge

Kingofun 03:17, 13 September 2009 (UTC)

What, you mean something like this? With two different ways of doing it.

10th Pokémon League
Generations II and IV
	VS
	WINNER >>>
	result
LtSurge	result
	result
	result
FORFEIT		WINNER

Can anyone?

Tell me the link for Pokemon Heartgold and soulsilver on "Red" I want to see what his pokemon are. DialgaPrimeX 21:21, 13 September 2009 (UTC)DialgaPrimeX

The information isn't actually up yet, but it's the same as Generation II but with Lapras instead of Espeon. —darklordtrom 21:23, 13 September 2009 (UTC)

ok Thanks DialgaPrimeX 21:24, 13 September 2009 (UTC)DialgaPrimeX

http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Red_(game)#HeartGold_and_SoulSilver is the link, just in case you still needed it - Samjohn95 22:07 20 September

Standard Pokémon Images

I brought up this topic on the Project Pokédex discussion, but I didn't get any replies, so I though I'd bring it here instead. This is just a suggestion... do you think it would be better not to use the Emerald and Platinum artwork on the Hoenn and Sinnoh starters' pages? I've noticed that on the official online Pokédexes, as well as recent official books, their RS and DP artwork is still used, and appears to be their "standard" artwork. I know they are the more recent, but Ken Sugimori's Emerald and Platinum illustrations are simply promotional art for those games, and are not considered "standard" by Nintendo. What I'm trying to say is, if Bulbapedia were an official Pokémon site overseen by Nintendo, the Emerald and Platinum artwork wouldn't be used in the main articles, they would use the RS and DP art instead. Does anyone agree with me? Sorry if I made this sound confusing, I didn't really know how else to put it! Taromon777 09:54, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

I get what you're saying, but I disagree. We use the latest Sugimori artwork. It is official artwork, even if for consistency Nintendo uses the RS and DP artwork. --electAbuzzzz 10:05, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

New Routes?

Why aren't there articles for Routes 47 and 48 yet? Shall I create them? Taromon777 16:43, 16 September 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, feel free to create them. People probably just haven't got around to it yet or haven't got that far. Solar Dragon 17:10, 16 September 2009 (UTC)

Actually it is protected from creation. Turtwig A Contributions Talk 22:27, 16 September 2009 (UTC)

All we know is that they have some trainers and a few other things. Not much to go by right now. R.A. Hunter Blade 05:49, 17 September 2009 (UTC)

I went back to my roots and took care of making both at least to par. More details will be added when we get them of course. TTEchidna 06:41, 18 September 2009 (UTC)

Serebii.net has screenshots of the new routes. Do you think they would let us use them on Bulbapedia if we asked nicely? --Taromon777 17:02, 19 September 2009 (UTC)

Serebii gets grumpy when we take his images, so probably not. –MasterKenobi 17:06, 19 September 2009 (UTC)

We'll get our own ASAP. Juuuust gotta find the, ahem, thing to do so. TTEchidna 10:22, 20 September 2009 (UTC)

Color change

I think we'll keep the GS styling until October 15. TTEchidna 09:57, 27 September 2009 (UTC)

I know u ppl don't lyl question's like this

But this is really irritating me. can someone tell me where I can find a Pokemon Scene creator program on the comp. I know there used to be one.--Darknesslover5000 16:55, 28 September 2009 (UTC)
