Ash's Pikachu (EToP) & Winona's Altaria

I believe User:Pattyman/Ash's Pikachu (EToP) and User:Pattyman/Winona's Altaria are ready to be checked if they can be placed in the mainspace. The former is an important character in the Electric Tale of Pikachu with Ash's also having the separate article while the latter has been involved in a lot in Pokémon Adventures aside from being Winona's signature Pokémon and appearing in the anime and games. PattyMan 02:25, 1 February 2016 (UTC)

For Altaria, I'll still mainspace it, but is there any way to make the "In the games" section not stretch the screen, like on Morty's Gengar? I tried to do it myself but I am too dumb with code so I couldn't get it to work so I just left it. --ZestyCactus 04:07, 1 February 2016 (UTC)

I took care of the problem, thanks for letting me know. PattyMan 04:54, 1 February 2016 (UTC)

Thanks! It looks way better now. :) --ZestyCactus 03:18, 2 February 2016 (UTC)

Brav

Is the page User:Rahl/Brav ready to be mainspaced?--Rahl (talk) 13:58, 5 February 2016 (UTC)

It looks pretty legit although I removed some broken file links in the switch cuz I noticed not all the pics in the switch actually had files to display. --ZestyCactus 02:23, 6 February 2016 (UTC)

Is the page User:Rahl/Monlee ready to be mainspaced?--Rahl (talk) 16:34, 7 February 2016 (UTC)

It's been done. :D --ZestyCactus 06:14, 9 February 2016 (UTC)

New cover Pokemon Adventures Spain

Ah, I was wondering when the next one would be released! Thanks for letting me know. --ZestyCactus 06:14, 9 February 2016 (UTC)

New template for the manga sections

Hey! :) How are you tonight? ^~^

I sent a message to Ataro asking him if this template (http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Bulbapedia:Sandbox#Epichar) was ready to go into the manga rounds, but you just logged in, so I figured out, why not ask you? ^~^

I would start adding them as soon as you validate it and give me the go.

PS: Have you been able to find anything about my mysterious CD? MannedTooth (Talk) 05:02, 9 February 2016 (UTC)

I haven't had a chance to research the mysterious CD because I've been busy with my job and other things ^^' I will get to it when I can. Unfortunately, we've reviewed that template in the past (it's been on the sandbox for a while) and we've determined it isn't really needed at this time. It ultimately doesn't add anything substantial to the pages (plain text communicates the information perfectly fine) and between anime and manga articles, there would be well over 1000 pages that it would affect, so we would rather invest more focus on other, higher-priority projects, mainly adding new content as opposed to redecorating existing content. Sorry! --ZestyCactus 06:14, 9 February 2016 (UTC)

it's okay, we all have a real life. :p but adding this template would add so much quality to the wiki since it's compact and sweet for the eyes. If this would happen, I would personally work on adding them, so you guys can concentrate on other things. And that's weird to me, since everytime I try to add new stuff it gets deleted for "unotability". Like, do you guys even want new stuff being added or what? Is it just me that doesn't understand something or what? Sadly, I am now only wandering the wiki, refreshing the recent changes page without knowing what to do. I really, really have motivation. I want to help, you might have noticed already, but there's nothing I can do apparently... :/ MannedTooth (Talk) 06:56, 9 February 2016 (UTC)

Well, the template mentioned upthread is purely aesthetic - it's not actually adding any new information to the article, just presenting it differently. The fact of the matter is there is lots to do... but you specifically told me you weren't interested in the wanted pages and you didn't seem really interested when I mentioned the Manga to-do list or other similar projects (Articles needing improvement, etc.) these are really the things that we need the most. Your manga plot summaries were good and that is an area we have very few contributors in - are you no longer interested in doing those? There are 890 articles with incomplete plot summaries, including anime episodes. We have many editors who like working on character articles, but there are some that still could use some help, particularly for more obscure series. I'm also still interested in starting a page for those Quebec French VHS tapes - I have five or six of them myself, but I've put it to the back burner because content that is not in English or Japanese is generally lower priority, but I did plan to make it one day, so if you are willing to help, that opportunity is still open too. That's just a short-term project though - the longer-term stuff is adding summaries (which there is a high reader demand for), keeping up on volume releases and chapter/round article creation, that sort of tedious stuff. Researching old merchandise and documenting it. It's tedious, sure, but that's the true backbone of the manga section. I see little value in adding templates to change the look of the pages when so many manga pages look like this. --ZestyCactus 03:35, 10 February 2016 (UTC)

It's not that I didn't want to anymore, it's just that it takes a lot of time to do these! :P But if you tell me that the ones I added were good. I will sure keep it up! :)
As for the Quebec tapes, I'm just unsure about what I need to do. Give me specific requests and I'll gladly lend a hand! MannedTooth (Talk) 03:49, 10 February 2016 (UTC)

Forgot to mention that I also suggested to Ataro to add a navigation bar at the top of each rounds, just like for the anime episodes. MannedTooth (Talk) 03:51, 10 February 2016 (UTC)

We actually had one a long time ago and it was abolished (I'm not entirely sure why, as that was before my time. I think it was considered redundant because the chapter info box already has the previous and next links in it). --ZestyCactus 03:46, 14 February 2016 (UTC)

Woah, sorry! I got busy with work and haven't had time to come to the computer for the last few days. I'll take a look at them right now. --ZestyCactus 03:46, 14 February 2016 (UTC)

Nanoblocks

Hey Zesty Cactus! Is this page User:Wowy/Pokémon Nanoblocks mainspaceable? Or are there any changes I'll need to do first?--Wowy_(토크) 04:15, 20 February 2016 (UTC)

It's done. It's your job to find ways to link to it in other pages though ;) --ZestyCactus 04:51, 20 February 2016 (UTC)

Thanks!!--Wowy_(토크) 05:00, 20 February 2016 (UTC)

All good here. --ZestyCactus 06:31, 20 February 2016 (UTC)

Pokémon Adventures

I don't know if you can read Korean but I thought you might be interested. Not sure if you want an official site, but if you search 포켓몬스터 스페셜 on this website, a list of Korean Pokémon Adventures releases will come up. The website is Kyobo books (a well known book store, so reliable?). I know nothing about the manga and I don't have the time to invest in editing for it, but I'll leave it here if you're willing to do it. There is a bar at the bottom where you can scroll pages, but I haven't checked if they've got all volumes. --Wowy_(토크) 05:57, 20 February 2016 (UTC)

Can't read Korean but I will definitely be looking at it anyway! I can find my way around any bookstore's website XD thanks for the link! --ZestyCactus 06:31, 20 February 2016 (UTC)

RE: Covers of distinct countries

I'm sorry to tell you that German volumes are not omnibus ^^' , only they merged the chapters, but the volumes are the same. - unsigned comment from Ipsilon (talk • contribs)

Oh, my bad! I misunderstood before but I get it now. --ZestyCactus 16:14, 20 February 2016 (UTC)

Gold's Sunbo

Hi, is this acceptable for mainspacing? Rahl helped me with the summary.Animaltamer710:30, 23 February 2016 (UTC)

Hey. You asked that same question to me almost two years ago. I don't know what Zesty's opinion is, but mine is that Sunbo is still not notable enough for an article. Ataro (talk) 15:38, 23 February 2016 (UTC)

I will have to back Ataro up on this one and pass on mainspacing. Sunbo has multiple appearances but the majority of them are fairly minor and not critical to the advancement of the plot. The notable stuff, such as her participation in the Pokéathlon, can easily be added to her section on Gold's page. Also, she doesn't really have a lot of significant character development for herself or drive character development for Gold. --ZestyCactus 06:22, 29 February 2016 (UTC)

Crystal's starter

I was looking at the Manual of style/Manga/Manga Pokémon notability policy page and noticed that it says "Starter Pokémon that are owned by any of the main characters (Such as any Pokédex holder, Wally, Cheren, and Bianca) are all notable, provided they have appeared in more than one chapter/round. If they have not met this criteria, then they would have to have a significant impact on the plot of the chapter/round, manga series as a whole, or a certain arc." Through flashbacks we have seen that Smoochum is her starter, so should it get its own page?--Rahl (talk) 05:44, 29 February 2016 (UTC)

Possibly, if the article can prove her significance to the plot and character development. Basically if there's enough to say that couldn't be reasonably fit into her existing section on Crystal's page. --ZestyCactus 06:22, 29 February 2016 (UTC)
