Hey Jello, is there any reason for Krookodile to still be locked? --[[User:Poppy Appletree|Poppy]] [[User talk:Poppy Appletree|:3]] 16:43, 12 March 2011 (UTC)

Revision as of 16:43, 12 March 2011

Anyone who wants to help update with English BW information, please go here as Veekun has already extracted all the data for the English version.

Talk-page archives: 1, 2

Please remember proper etiquette: If someone asks me a question, allow me some time to answer it, before you jump in yourself. If you are a homie, feel free to jump in whenever :P Thank you.


Missing sprites

Why are some sprites missing yet their description page still exists?—★Pika3323 11:51, 2 February 2011 (UTC)

We're busy in a mass move of all the back sprites these days, so there might be some server syncing problems for few days. We are doing our best to wrap it up as soon as possible. ♫♪AdyNiz♪♫ 15:30, 2 February 2011 (UTC)
Just thought I'd let you know of this database error, A database query syntax error has occurred. This may indicate a bug in the software. The last attempted database query was:

(SQL query hidden) from within function "Article::updateCategoryCounts". Database returned error "1213: Deadlock found when trying to get lock; try restarting transaction (174.37.30.34)".—★Pika3323 22:23, 2 February 2011 (UTC)

Also

If you don't believe the information I post on discussion pages, that's fine. That doesn't give you a reason to erase what I posted. Once the information has been confirmed to your standards, you can actually use the information I put there. I plan on posting a lot of the English names. They're not widely advertised on the official site, so you don't have to move any pages, but leave my two cents on the name origins there, please. I'm saving people some work by trying to decipher some of these myself, and I'd appreciate if you left it there for other people to see. If any different name is confirmed (though I doubt this will happen), you can erase everything I wrote about the name. Thanks! --Kianglo 01:17, 3 February 2011 (UTC)

Can you hold off posting those until we actually get confirmation though, because as of right now you're posting origins for something that hasn't even been confirmed yet. Save it somewhere (perhaps in your userspace?) until the right time comes, please. Jellotalk 01:19, 3 February 2011 (UTC)
Couldn't I just post it with a note that it's not quite 100%? In case it's revealed and I'm not there to put it in the discussion page or anything. The lists that have been going around have been accurate thus far with the "officially" revealed names like Klink and Pansage, and I think it's better if other people can read it. If you have a serious problem with this let me know. --Kianglo 01:23, 3 February 2011 (UTC)
Still I would prefer you hold off on posting these for now. It does not matter if everything has been right so far, the fact is they have not officially been confirmed, and we cannot add those names until they are. Jellotalk 01:26, 3 February 2011 (UTC)
I didn't say you had to add them. But whatever. I don't see your point, but I'll just keep everything to myself. But if no one does the name origins when the pages are eventually moved to the English names, I will. --Kianglo 01:29, 3 February 2011 (UTC)

encounter rates

How do you get the Pokémon encounter rates? Pokabu82 01:58, 3 February 2011 (UTC)

Sorry, I'm not quite sure how it's done either. Jellotalk 17:03, 3 February 2011 (UTC)
Look at this page, from the formula if you want to work out a Pokémon's encounter rate, you would walk around until you've walked 150 steps, recording the number of each species you encounter, 1 would be very rare, 3 would be rare, 5 would be semi-rare, 7 would be common, and and 8 would be very common. If you want to get an accurate result you would have to do this more than once though. Pikiwyn talk 17:50, 3 February 2011 (UTC)

Bots? How!?

How have all the bots that have been getting blocked get through the captcha when being created? --Landfish7 21:35, 3 February 2011 (UTC)

I do not know the specifics, but whoever is controlling those bots seems to have broken through the captcha system. I don't know how either, but we can't really do anything about it right now except get rid of them as they come. Jellotalk 23:57, 3 February 2011 (UTC)
Are the bots coming from 1 specific IP, or does it change every time? Gliscorguy54 21:59, 8 February 2011 (UTC)
If it wasn't coming from one IP they wouldn't keep signing up now, would they? The only way I can figure it out is to do an email check, that usually gives it away. Jellotalk 22:07, 8 February 2011 (UTC)

So...

Do we start on Generation V? I've seen Adyniz already starting the mass move. Masatoshitalk 16:21, 4 February 2011 (UTC)

Jel, Psy or Ht, all of'em are not online at the moment so I think I'm gonna take this. I checked and there's nothing left from previous generations. So, we should really start moving Generation V stuff, btw I'm only free for today; have been a lot busy in uni stuff these days so I might not have much time to do it regularly. So, I'm trying to wrap it up as soon as possible :) ♫♪AdyNiz♪♫ 17:09, 4 February 2011 (UTC)
I asked Psy and he said we can start working on GV sprites from now. So, time to move some more stuff. Thank you ♫♪AdyNiz♪♫ 17:23, 4 February 2011 (UTC)
Alright, lemme help you out, then. /stops stalking Jello's user page Masatoshitalk 17:27, 4 February 2011 (UTC)
Here's some confirmation me as well. Feel free to start Gen V. I'll come help you guys out later, right now I'm in class. Jellotalk 17:48, 4 February 2011 (UTC)

Back sprite animation... again.

A while ago you told me that back sprites shouldn't be animated. Has that changed? I just found an animated backsprite.—★Pika3323 20:10, 4 February 2011 (UTC)

At the moment, they don't need to be animated. If it's animated though, I don't see any harm in letting it stay like that. Jellotalk 20:11, 4 February 2011 (UTC)
What's the idea behind shiny current game sprites? They don't appear anywhere in main space area!—★Pika3323 21:09, 4 February 2011 (UTC)
Consistency with the regular sprites :P You never know when they might come in handy. Jellotalk 21:15, 4 February 2011 (UTC)
The forums won't let send you a reply!—★Pika3323 21:20, 4 February 2011 (UTC)
Ah, I didn't think about that. Hold on a minute, you'll be hooked up on the Archives. Jellotalk 21:23, 4 February 2011 (UTC)
Do I start uploading crystal back sprites. The ones which are missing (like metapod)?—★Pika3323 14:09, 5 February 2011 (UTC)
For platinum and HGSS back sprites, if they're identical do you add the platinum tagging too?—★Pika3323 21:30, 5 February 2011 (UTC)
Yeah if they're exactly the same, then you can put multiple taggings on the first game the sprite appears in. Jellotalk 21:33, 5 February 2011 (UTC)
So platinum/HGSS sprites should be named what 4p or 4h?—★Pika3323 21:52, 5 February 2011 (UTC)
If the HGSS sprite is the same as Platinum, then it should be named 4p, the 4h would then get redirected to the 4p sprite. Jellotalk 21:57, 5 February 2011 (UTC)
The archives are really running glitchy right now.—★Pika3323 22:26, 5 February 2011 (UTC)
Therefore a diamond and pearl sprite identical to a platinum or HGSS sprite would also recieve the other tagging?—★Pika3323 22:29, 6 February 2011 (UTC)
Yeah. Jellotalk 22:45, 6 February 2011 (UTC)
I'm here now on 2 things, mostly different then the other questions, Why don't you add Uploading Crystal, FR LG, Platinum, and HGSS back sprites to the archives to-do list? Is this archives duplicate file checker thing still working? According to my superhuman powers (Crossing eys to match 2 sprites) some sprites are identical but the archives don't pick it up.—★Pika3323 20:39, 7 February 2011 (UTC)
Ah, sorry I've been a bit busy lately so I haven't had time to do that just yet. Jellotalk 22:26, 7 February 2011 (UTC)
Just pointing out, with the identical sprites, it'll only work if the two files are exactly identical. If one is a slightly different size, or the sprite is in a slightly different position in the frame (even one pixel out) then it'll see them as different. Werdnae (talk) 03:30, 9 February 2011 (UTC)
Jello, how do I create a page for a redirect for something like File:Spr_b_4h_003.png to File:Spr_b_4p_003.png (Like actually creating the page, I know how to redirect.) Or is that for admins.—★Pika3323 21:13, 9 February 2011 (UTC)

Since Your On...

Can you please read my post here so we can start redirecting even more stuff :) --HoennMaster 06:39, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

Can you provide a link to where the ad leads to or whatever ad/video has those names? I haven't seen anything yet on GameFAQs. Jellotalk 06:52, 7 February 2011 (UTC)
I know, not I can't find in anywhere. They all just lead back to Pokémon.com. --HoennMaster 06:53, 7 February 2011 (UTC)
It's okay, got a screenshot from someone. It looks legit to me, so we're probably going to be moving it. Jellotalk 07:00, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

Sounds like a bunch of spectulation

How is the most populous cities a bunch of spectulation, you cannot make accusations in which you do not consider, as a real example both Nambasa and Castelia City from the Unova region share the largest city space, as a point of view you believe Nambasa as it's population of 150 (249 if considering battle arena) toppling Castelia City's population of 130 BUT what about it's regeneration of unlimited? Exactly, consider that other people many not share your point of view instead respect, please use better language rather that just SOUNDS, why not read ? --Italay90 23:42, 9 February 2011 (UTC)

Don't accuse me of not reading something before I delete it. For your information, I did read it and I did not see any point in having an article that pretty much comes from the demographic section of each city/town. If you wanted, you could have expanded those sections instead of creating a short article that really serves no purpose that the demographic section could not cover. If you are not content with my decision you can approach another administrator about it if you wish, perhaps they'll have a different point of view. Jellotalk 23:50, 9 February 2011 (UTC)

That sounds fair, although don't mislead people... Thanks

Yo! homie 8D

You might be busy in your class at the moment but whenever you're free, come at our secret basement. ♫♪エイディニズ♪♫ 17:07, 10 February 2011 (UTC)

=P

Is there a template for the time?—★Pika3323 11:47, 11 February 2011 (UTC)

Are you talking about this? ♫♪エイディニズ♪♫ 13:38, 11 February 2011 (UTC)
Actual digital tick tock kind.—★Pika3323 20:07, 11 February 2011 (UTC)

Pick and choose the one you want :P Jellotalk 20:11, 11 February 2011 (UTC)

That will do. P.S. I found a poropse for the poketch pikachu sprite.—★Pika3323 20:23, 11 February 2011 (UTC)

Block question

Did you get my IM(s)?--immewnitythemew 01:41, 12 February 2011 (UTC)

Yes, I did. I've told you, it might have been a joke, but some people did find it offensive. I'd be careful with choosing your words next time. Jellotalk 01:53, 12 February 2011 (UTC)

Just so you know

I found Category:Enbuoh (TCG) which is for Enboar's japanese name that hadn't been dealt with yet which I already marked for delete which I should let you know about. -Tyler53841 05:20, 12 February 2011 (UTC)

Guess I missed that one. Thank you. Jellotalk 05:21, 12 February 2011 (UTC)
You're welcome, and I knew you would be interested since you were doing the work earlier. Besides since no other administrator was noticing I had to send a message. -Tyler53841 05:23, 12 February 2011 (UTC)

Just to know

Hi Jello. On previous accounts that I created. I have created them without remember their password thinking you were going to block them. Sorry about that. Now, could I have please your permission to keep this account forever? If this is not the case. Thank you for letting me know. Kaznea 12:58, 12 February 2011 (UTC)

Hi Jello. I see that you do not want to answer me. But anyway, I decided to stop creating accounts and leave for good. I am aware of that and I think I have enough offensed to your rules. I assure you that henceforth it will not happen again (I just asked to Dennou Zenshi to correct some mistakes in passing). Sorry for everything and goodbye. Focaus 18:06, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

Spambot

Nice work on deleting that talk page for that Spambot user, but did you know there was another one. -Tyler53841 21:07, 12 February 2011 (UTC)

Bulbanews

Hi Jello! I still have yet to figure out who is in charge of Bulbanews as I needed to get a few answers to questions that I have. Thanks! ^^ —MasterKenobi 03:18, 13 February 2011 (UTC)

RexRacer is the EiC of Bulbanews, if you can't get a hold of him then try the dark lord trombonator. Jellotalk 03:31, 13 February 2011 (UTC)
Rex sort of scares me, but I will definitely try him first. Thanks! —MasterKenobi 03:35, 13 February 2011 (UTC)

Archives deal again

So, I finished uploading the first 151 sprites on FRLG, and when I wanted to start on the Johto Pokémon, I noticed that FRLG didn't have them, do I just redirect every Johto Pokémon to their RSE sprites? Masatoshitalk 08:14, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

Bold Name

Hi Jello! Happy Valentine's Day/Single Awareness Day! xD So, why is it that we are omitting the Japanese names now? We've always had it since the release. I know it's not the English name, but at least there's a name there. And I know that the Japanese city names are in between the parentheses. But, it looks awkward. Like... "(In Japanese, Souryuu City) is a city." That makes no sense, you get what I'm saying? --Han Ji-Wan 22:31, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, same too you! I'm not sure who came up with the bright idea that it was okay to bold the transliteration but that's just not how it works here. Unless the localization never comes out, we don't bold the name until it does. Little awkward yes, but no point being redundant, plus it's easier to spot when we do get a sea of information. Jellotalk 22:35, 14 February 2011 (UTC)
Okay, thank you for clearing that up for me. --Han Ji-Wan 22:39, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

Link to disambiguation

I've realised this forever now but on the page Factory Head I linked battle factories to a disambiguation page. is that alright? (nobody's ever been to that page to edit, or click the link so they probably didn't notice)—★Pika3323 00:44, 15 February 2011 (UTC)

P.S. any reason why arceus sprites haven't been uploaded?—★Pika3323 00:53, 15 February 2011 (UTC)
Yeah, that's fine. As for the second one, I dunno lol. We're all just lazy I guess. Jellotalk 01:43, 15 February 2011 (UTC)
Hey you wouldn't mind adding "Re-upload certain diamond pearl sprites" to the to-do list would you? They seem to be mal-converted form gif or something so... yeah!—★Pika3323 20:25, 17 February 2011 (UTC)

Just wondering

Wouldn't blocking Falk's IP address prevent him from making more accounts? Pikiwyn talk 19:16, 16 February 2011 (UTC)

You think we haven't tried that? It doesn't work. Jellotalk 19:26, 16 February 2011 (UTC)

Hey Jello, do you have a minute?

I was just wondering if Rokuto was an avatar of Falk? He emailed me, asking if I could edit some mistakes he found in different articles because he couldn't edit here, which made me think so. Thanks --ジェダイの騎士デジタルテレビ 03:31, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

You're correct. Sorry about that, he should be blocked from emailing as of right now but feel free to ignore his emails. He sends them to everyone. Jellotalk 03:32, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

Locking of Archives

How much longer is the archives going to be on lockdown? I'm in the middle of finishing an article and I need to upload some pictures... Thanks. —MasterKenobi 05:32, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

I can grant you temp JA so you can upload. Jellotalk 05:39, 1 March 2011 (UTC)
I'd really appreciate it if you would. I promised Trom I'd have everything up real soon. —MasterKenobi 05:40, 1 March 2011 (UTC)
Not a problem, you should be able to upload now. Jellotalk 05:41, 1 March 2011 (UTC)
It worked! Thanks a ton! —MasterKenobi 05:44, 1 March 2011 (UTC)
Now that's what I call teamwork. Night everyone! —darklordtrom 10:05, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

Dotekkotsu

Since you just edited it, if you have a chance could you go to the TM section of this page and change Ankle Sweep into Low Sweep since it is protected? -Tyler53841 09:33, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

Sawk BlackDex Entry

I noticed that one of your past edits (edit 1378491 to be exact) caused an unfinished sentence. It was fixed, but I liked the old revision better. Should I revert? - unsigned comment from Nathan2055 (talkcontribs)

Oh my bad. Someone fixed it though. What do you mean you liked the old revision better? This is the official English dex entry from the game, the previous was just a translation. Jellotalk 22:01, 1 March 2011 (UTC)
Do you mean this is actually from an English copy of Black? --Nathan2055talk 22:08, 1 March 2011 (UTC)
It was taken from a stream of the game (I fixed it, BTW). One that 'should have restarted at least two hours ago... Blazios 22:11, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

AIM

YOU. THERE. NOW. Masatoshitalk 15:47, 2 March 2011 (UTC)

Swoobat

Not that I dispute moving Kokoromori to Swoobat but that picture has its name in caps. Are you sure it's legit?

P.S. The picture with Hilda's name also gave the name Krookodile and I changed Waruvial's page a while ago. Could you possibly either move it or undo the revision if it's not good enough evidence?

Oh, and the stream should be on soon, I know you were on last time. - unsigned comment from Blazios (talkcontribs)

Yeah, it's legit. That pic is way too blurry, we should wait. ♫♪エイディニズ♪♫ 21:01, 2 March 2011 (UTC)
Yeah what Adyniz said. I don't think I'll be able to make it to the stream tonight since I'm busy, but if you guys get new information, you know what to do. Jellotalk 21:23, 2 March 2011 (UTC)

English Names

Are we allowed to start updating the pages with the English names yet? Thanks. —MasterKenobi 23:19, 2 March 2011 (UTC)

Yep, go right ahead. Jellotalk 23:20, 2 March 2011 (UTC)

Mistake

Hi. I noticed that when you were updating the Gen V Pokémon to their English names, you accidentally mixed up Vullaby and Mandibuzz. Could you please fix them? Thanks. --Jakovu 01:21, 3 March 2011 (UTC) Thanks for picking that mistake up, it's been fixed. Jellotalk 01:30, 3 March 2011 (UTC)

How come you keep deleting my pages

EarthBound, Pokemon, Soda, and Food. 01:42, 3 March 2011 (UTC)

Because they are not notable and unnecessary. If your page gets deleted, don't recreate it. Also, please change your signature so it reflects your username. Jellotalk 01:44, 3 March 2011 (UTC)

The archives, to be locked for how much longer?

Hi Jello! How much longer are the archives to be locked???? I want to get back to the endless task of uploading HGSS sprites. But if it' not in the near future then I guess I could wait for Immewnity to answer my questions about the new HQ sugimori art he sent me.—★Pika3323 21:46, 3 March 2011 (UTC)

They're going to be be locked until...we get everything moved. It also depends on how the servers deal with the traffic once BW hits stores. If it gets sluggish then it might stay locked longer. If you want to help out, I can power you up again if you'd like. Jellotalk 23:52, 3 March 2011 (UTC)
Yes anything to do while immewnity writes me and S2daam (I think?) an e mail about sources. But I might not do anything today. Internet problems, not connecting properly, not server issues though, all sites are doing it to me!—★Pika3323 00:23, 4 March 2011 (UTC)

User Creation Log

I've been looking through the User Creation Log and I came across this - "14:28, 6 March 2011 Piplup09 created new account User:Bagon20". Any idea what this means, as this isn't the first time I have come across it... Thanks. —MasterKenobi 00:30, 12 March 2011 (UTC)

It means they created another account when they shouldn't have. I think Werdnae already blocked one of the accounts. Jellotalk 00:33, 12 March 2011 (UTC)
I really should keep an eye out then as that's probably the fourth or fifth I've seen. Thanks.—MasterKenobi 00:34, 12 March 2011 (UTC)

Need help

Could you do something about the title for the infobox here? You can't exactly read it... J-J-M 16:28, 12 March 2011 (UTC)
