Half-Life 2: Episode 2

Petalburg's trivia makes mention of Paper Mario 2 and I'm pretty sure I've seen mention of another coincidental name, but exactly what it was escapes me... Is Half-Life 2: Episode 2 worth mentioning here, or is it a Nintendo Kool Kidz' Club kind of thing? BP 09:18, 13 December 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, I guess that would be OK. But we kinda are a Nintendo Kool Kidz' Club. It also means that Black City gets EarthBound in its trivia. --SnorlaxMonster 08:05, 27 December 2010 (UTC)

Knew I wasn't the only one who thought it looked like Moonside... BP 09:10, 31 December 2010 (UTC)

Nidoran

On the Black and White and Nidoran♂ pages, it says that Nidoran♂ can be caught here, but on this page, it says only Nidoran♀ can be caught. Which one is correct? Slimey01 00:01, 3 January 2011 (UTC)

I would think that you can catch Nidoran♀ and use it to breed Nidoran♂, but I'm not sure if Nidoran♂ are actually in White Forest. --SnorlaxMonster 13:46, 3 January 2011 (UTC)

Mayor

I'm not familiar with the Bulbapedia's Manual of Style, so I wouldn't know where to put this exactly, but I wanted to let you folks know that the Mayor will ask you to let him know if you find a random pokemon in the forest each day. If you catch that pokemon that day and bring it to him, he'll award you with a random berry. Trades or pokemon caught on a previous day do not count, to my knowledge. I'm not sure what berries exactly he gives, but he gave me a Lum Berry today. Jimcloud 06:05, 13 April 2011 (UTC)

Population error?

It essentially took me 2 weeks to get to White Forest, yet I only have 3 named people. Does the value roll over after it hits 10 and start at 0 again? --Zoen 10:49, 16 April 2011 (UTC)

The population is counted at the highest possible level. And I'm not sure if the value changes to 0 after hitting 10. --Han Ji-Wan 01:34, 17 April 2011 (UTC)

Another question to ask then...are the "pointless" NPCs inside the mayor's house and around White Forest counted towards that population? Not counting the Mayor or the staff inside the Pokemon Center, there's 13 people total. Think this needs a bit further explanation. --Zoen 10:18, 17 April 2011 (UTC)

Yes... The "pointless" NPCs are counted towards White Forest's population. Also, the people in the gate buildings are counted in as well. --Han Ji-Wan 05:05, 18 April 2011 (UTC)

So then under that statement, White Forest can have higher than 10 population. I didn't even count the people in the gate buildings. --Zoen 10:30, 19 April 2011 (UTC)

Yes, that's right. It's fine since I've already done the population count for White Forest. :] --Han Ji-Wan 13:35, 19 April 2011 (UTC)

What do the names mean?

for example, for this pokemon, in the last column it gives the name of a person. what does that mean? is it you have to talk to this person in order to find this pokémon? - unsigned comment from Mpcamel1729 (talk • contribs)

That's the name of the resident who must be in your White Forest for that pokémon to appear. Luna Tiger * the Arc Toraph 22:48, 23 April 2011 (UTC)

On the subject, it'd be nice if someone could put each of their overworld sprites beside their names; otherwise users will have to cross-reference with Black City's page to find out what sort of trainer to talk to. --Andy^P_K^M_N (talk) 23:45, 23 April 2011 (UTC)
