As much as I appreciate your writing your walkthroughs, I'm just wondering, what's the point of having the content in templates? You could just put them in the article itself. But, as far as I am concerned, walkthroughs are not encyclopedic. They are informative, yes. But not encyclopedic. - [[User:Zhen Lin|振霖]]<sub>[[User talk:Zhen Lin|T]]</sub> 07:46, 14 November 2005 (CST)

For the physical attack types, I start with 100 and apply weakness/resistance according to the normal rules. For special types, I start with 100*defense/special defense, which allows for better representation of damage ratios. For example, a Psychic move would do about 1.5 times as much damage to a Geodude as a Fighting move of the same strength; just looking as weakness/resistance would make it look like Figting is twice as strong as Psychic.User142 07:48, 9 November 2005 (CST)
