Any way to do this?

Since this is a talk page, I'm wondering if it's possible to eliminate the regional Pokédex entries from the template if there's no data for them, instead of having that dash. It'd make it a lot easier to see at a glance which regions the Pokémon's naturally available in, or what generation it is. Might be a bit problematic if we take into account Pokémon in the Hoenn dex beyond 202, though. Feedback? Tom Temprotran 02:39, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

I can't say I particularly like this change to the numbers section. It does not cope well with the case where a Pokémon is not in the regional Pokédex. Also, it's a blatant copy of what Wikipedia does for their infobox. - 振霖_T 22:58, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

I'm not fond of it either. It's not particularly useful and it doesn't fit the rest of the template very well, I think. --Pie 23:09, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

Since we are agreed, then I will change it back. - 振霖_T 05:32, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

All right. Though... I never changed it in the first place, because I know I'd've screwed something up. I was just wondering if it was possible. Tom Temprotran 01:17, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

No, we weren't talking about your proposal, which is reasonable, if difficult. - 振霖_T 08:37, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

Ah, okay. Sorry 'bout that, then. Tom Temprotran 07:33, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

Habitat?

Should the habitat (based on the FRLG dexlist thing) be included in the infobox? It'd of course be N/A for Gen IV and beyond Pokémon, unless that's still in the data like the color is...

The only problem is that we'd have to go though the first 386 to include it. Should we? --T T Echidna 18:42, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

The MS sprites.

Should they even be in the infobox? T T Echidna 21:41, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

Yes, but not until someone finds a good-looking way to include them. And we should add the animated Emerald sprites for Pokémon from Generations I-III. --File:224MS.gif Shiny Noctowl^{Talk | Contribs}

Name Pronunciations?

Should we add a section on how to pronounce the Pokémon's name to the Infobox? I for one have trouble correctly pronouncing a name correctly if I read it but don't hear or see it pronounced correctly, so I think that it would be a feature that would be a good addition to the Pokémon pages. I know that it might take a lot of work to find and input all of the pronunciations, but I think that it would be worth it. Goldenpoke1 1 1 16:46, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

I tried to help put them in but it wouldn't work,what's wrong?Ultamatecharizard 19:23, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

Type categories

So, does anyone know why all Pokémon stopped being categorized by type? I'm guessing it's here somewhere... --ElectAbuzzzz 09:40, 13 July 2008 (UTC)

Base Happiness

Should there be a section on the base happiness of a Pokemon? TehPerson 05:55, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

Links

The pages for all the regional Pokédexes have been moved from "List of Pokémon by X Dex number" to "List of Pokémon by X Pokédex number". It's be nice if someone could update the links in the infobox to reflect that. --((Marton imos)) 22:22, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

Done. Don't be afraid if there's some downtime...--Shiningpikablu252 22:30, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

Yeah. That's why it was protected in the first place. Thanks, and sorry to bother you with this. --((Marton imos)) 22:32, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

Ability

Should we talk about when it was introduced for the Pokemon in which generation? Or should we put that in the article itself? ^ht 14 01:20, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

probably. when TTE becomes available, ill talk to him about it. -- MAG NE DETH 20:19, 29 November 2008 (UTC)

Pron

Can't you just add the sc to the template? _*tc 26_* 14:31, 7 November 2008 (UTC)

Basic Japanese romanization

Is it possible to add the Japanese pronunciation of the Pokémon's name? Such as showing that Lucario's name would be pronounced Rukario. I was hoping that maybe this could help stop weeaboos who think Pikachu's Japanese name is Pikachuu or thinking Blacky's name is Burakki. *shivers* I know we already have a page for this, but I think it might be helpful to have it on the Pokémon's page as well. --ケンジの ガール 05:13, 29 November 2008 (UTC)

Lucario's pretty much pronounced the same, it's just that the "Lu" is pronounced in the same manner that the "ruuuuuu!" of "Ran Ran Ruu!" is pronounced... which is kind of a "say L while you're saying R". TTEchidna 00:08, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

Why?

Why was the pronounciation field removed? Chocolate_{((Talk to Me|Look at My Contributions))} 22:49, 30 November 2008 (UTC)

I think it'd be better to, possibly soon, implement sound files that play 1: the cry from the games, 2: the anime cry (Japanese and English), and 3: PBR pronunciation ripped from the game, or just ask Ken Gates himself to record the pronunciation... TTEchidna 00:04, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

Rounded Edges?

Should this have rounded edges like the TCG box and a lot of other things do? Mozilla only.--Mew a.k.a. Prmatt11 15:18, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

Yes, If you're on Mozilla, The boxes are rounded.--FF(edits-talk) 15:22, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

Not on this one.--Mew a.k.a. Prmatt11 15:40, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

NOT YET IT'S NOT! TTEchidna 11:20, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

And voila. It is complete.... as far as I know, anyway.... — THE TROM — 22:27, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

Changing how the wiki looks

I think the wikicode for the infobox should be changed to this. It makes it a lot easier for people who are new to the wiki to correct any mistakes. Is there a quick way to change all the articles at once? (Take a better look by clicking here)

{{PokémonInfobox

| jname       =

- plau 10:02, 14 February 2009 (UTC)

Um, well, it is pretty much like that. And they have all been converted to that now. If you're confused about the mass of code on the template page, that's because of the ridiculous amount of variables for color, type, etc. Nothing to worry about. — THE TROM — 10:09, 14 February 2009 (UTC)

Click edit, to see what i mean. It doesn't show that well otherwise. - plau 10:20, 14 February 2009 (UTC)

In an article, or here? Don't worry about here, but in an article just scroll down past that until you see paragraphs. Even better, click on the section edit links to edit a small part of the article, not the whole thing at once, unless you're changing something in multiple places. — THE TROM — 10:21, 14 February 2009 (UTC)

In an article, I meant it would be easier for people to edit information in the infobox. - plau 16:18, 14 February 2009 (UTC)

all the information is currently properly situated and doesnt need to be edited. and if it does, it really isnt that hard to edit anyway. -- MAG NE DETH 17:45, 14 February 2009 (UTC)

As for a quick way to edit them all at once? Ahahahahaha, don't count on it. We were lucky to change them all to upgrade the template so quickly. TTEchidna 04:13, 15 February 2009 (UTC)

Wait hold the mic.

Is the cry suppose to play the cry or are you guys waiting for someone to download the files?--FF(edits-talk) 09:42, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

FF your back on. Yes, you did notice the "CRY" thing on the Pokémon Infobox and yes it is planned that they are going to put in audio files to sound out cries. How exciting!!!!--Clarky13 09:59, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

I'm scrawling for a bit. anyways, HTF are you gon' get the cries. Call me once you get them and i'll crank my stereo to 11--FF(edits-talk) 10:01, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

lol, they say it should be ready soon.--Clarky13 10:03, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

Wb, FF! (even you're just gone for like, a month.) I guess it'd be part of the Phase IV of Project Overgrow. ►Ҝə υz ø8 10:13, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, I see a lot of thing happening for Phase IV. Cries, and new admins. I think its going to be a great step for Bulbapedia. You better be there FF. :D --Clarky13 10:17, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

Eevee's new URL system

When I accessed Eevee's page on Porygon, I got this message:

The URL http://veekun.com/dex/pokemon/137 is deprecated. The new URL is http://veekun.com/dex/pokemon/porygon -- please use this in the future, and update any bookmarks or links.

Should the template change to reflect this? Chosen of Mana --- 00:00, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

It appears to redirect now, so that shouldn't be necessary. — THE TROM — 01:14, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

gender ratio

i think this looks a little bit better:

	100%♂ 0%♀
	87.5%♂ 12.5%♀
	75%♂ 25%♀
	50%♂ 50%♀
	25%♂ 75%♀
	12.5%♂ 87.5%♀
	0%♂ 100%♀
	0%♂ 0%♀
