Huh!

I became an admin? When?! --Maxim 17:37, 8 August 2011 (UTC)

I read somthing about this in your user page... anyways, my English isn't the best. Hey, you're an admin for me! *trying to flatter the elder member* Hehe. See you, man. ;) |) u |( e 17:42, 8 August 2011 (UTC)

Heh heh, my user page is actually a (outdated) protest against one of the decisions made by admins. I'm a long time member of Bulbapedia, indeed. But I don't happen to be particularly liked by hereby admins. But it feels nice to be respected :P. --Maxim 17:46, 8 August 2011 (UTC)

Manga issues

Hi. I didn't realize that you and FinnishPokefan had gone back and forth, so I came here to talk to you so as to not make it an edit war. ^-^ You said that you were confused about some things, and hopefully I can help you out.

• You pointed out Silver's Rhydon, but it used it under Green's ownership. While that is true, Silver is now the owner of it, and it evolved under his ownership. The point is, Silver is now Rhydon's owner, and the current owner is what we go by. This is the case for all traded Pokemon, like Buizel and Chimchar. It just makes it easier that way. As for when Emerald borrowed Crys's Pokemon, he was just simply borrowing them, and gave them back after he was done, so they weren't his to begin with.
• Another point is nicknames. Like Pokemon, human nicknames should be added, since that's what they like to go by. We should call Red Saur 'Red's Venusaur', because it has a name, so it's the same with the humans; Crystal likes to be called Crys, and Diamond likes to be called Dia. While it is true that it isn't what their articles are named, the articles would be incorrect if they weren't called by their full names.
• One last one is sorting them by release dates. Where did you hear that from, if I may ask? I've heard the correct way to assort them is in Alphabetical order.

Anyways, I hope I answered all your questions and lifted your confusion. Sorry for all the confusion and reverting. XD Littlmiget123 16:24, 2 May 2012 (UTC)

Yeah, I hate edit wars.

• If this is how things go here, it's okay. And about Shedinja being Crystal's, I know this. Actually, I'm the one who made the section in her article.
• I remember I used Dia once in an article, and an Admin replaced it for Diamond, stating this is BP's terminology. In Crystal (Adventures), Crys is only used when mentioned as her nickname, never to refer to the character. But once again, if this is how things go here, it's okay.
• I did it based on the Pokémon manga article. It's annoying to look at many short mangas to find the more everlasting ones (which are probably the most searched). But if this seems counter-productive, please undo it.

Thank you for your help, Littlmiget123. |) u |( e ® 16:38, 2 May 2012 (UTC)
