BW Episodes

Since I have my hands full deal with minor changes involving Dwebble, could you handle the BW episodes on the grounds that it is part of the recurring cast and I don't have time to read over everything in the summaries. -Tyler53841 07:13, 2 March 2011 (UTC)

It's done. --ZestyCactus 07:22, 2 March 2011 (UTC)

Moving Fake Card Article

Phew! For a second there I thought someone deleted it. I completely forgot to ask to get it officialized too, so I'm glad it's official now. :3 And no, I don't mind if it was edited (back when it was still in my userspace :P) -- Nick15 23:58, 12 March 2011 (UTC)

Project Manga question

• Hii Zesty! Since you were the one to ask questions about the Project Manga ways of editing, I have a question about.. Well.. Editing. Under cameos, PS430, would the shadows of the pokemon mentioned be considered a cameo? Plus, I'll have many more questions to come =) Chocos0 07:54, 22 October 2011 (UTC)

Sup man! For shadowed cameos, it's okay to list them but i don't think it's super important to exhaustively list them. only if it's actually important to the story I guess. feel free to ask me anything whenever though :) --ZestyCactus 20:36, 23 October 2011 (UTC)

Picture perfect problems

HELP! I need help figuring out how to put pictures on an article! Please help! - unsigned comment from OrangeLover (talk • contribs)

This page has all the basic wikicode you'll need. Images can be added by putting [[File:(image name)|thumb|(alignment)|(display size)px]]. Werdnae (talk) 00:04, 8 November 2011 (UTC)

Ok...

Zesty, can you help settle an argument? This user keeps adding the dates that are listed on the Viz's website for the List of Pokémon Adventures volumes. The problem here is that none of these dates are officially revealed and are just sitting on the site's data. For all we know, the dates aren't officially confirmed and Viz may or may not be releasing them. The fact that volume 15 is listed for an October release date pretty much confirms that. I say we just wait until they're officially revealed before adding anything. Ataro 17:23, 25 November 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for bringing this to my attention (i agree with you), please see my response on the article's talk page. --ZestyCactus 21:15, 25 November 2011 (UTC)

Manga Summary Question

New user here with a quick question. I'm going to try and cough up some short summaries for various rounds of the RS arc of PokeSpe and was wondering whether characters should be called by their in-game name or the Chuang Yi name in said summaries. The convention already in place on the rounds pages is the Chuang Yi (example) but the rest of the site uses the game names. I just wanted to know which to use before I slap a bunch of text all over the place--don't want to have to spend ages re-editing my edits, haha. Thanks! --Ganamex (talk) 16:29, 7 December 2011 (UTC)

Hey! I would prefer the Chuang Yi names when applicable, please. :) Maybe link to the in-game character's page if one exists, but stick with the CY names for the summaries. Thanks!! --ZestyCactus 21:29, 7 December 2011 (UTC)

Great! That's what I was hoping; I find it less confusing. :) Time to get cracking! --Ganamex (talk) 10:01, 8 December 2011 (UTC)

haha glad that's good for you too then \o/ good work so far, thanks!! :) --ZestyCactus 16:30, 9 December 2011 (UTC)

RoundsPrevNext or MangaPrevNext

Hi, I was just wondering, can we make a RoundsPrevNext (or MangaPrevNext) template? We can add this template at the top of each rounds just like anime episodes articles have. -- ✔Pokégeek™✔ 11:09, 21 January 2012 (UTC)

Hope I am not nosing around, but there is a manga counterpart here:-

← PS078 : Victim of Venusaur

Yellow

PS080 : Draggin' In Dragonair →

Jaison Clinton Castelino 13:08, 21 January 2012 (UTC)

So can I add this to all the rounds? -- ✔Pokégeek™✔ 13:10, 21 January 2012 (UTC)

Offcouce,actually I got it from the history of PS079 by Cool Pikachu (I dont know why he deleted it)............Jaison Clinton Castelino 13:16, 21 January 2012 (UTC)

If someone removed this template, there must be a reason for removing that. We should wait for Zesty's approval. -- ✔Pokégeek™✔ 13:27, 21 January 2012 (UTC)

The reason for removing it would likely have been that there are links to the previous round and the next round in the infobox, thus making that template redundant. Werdnae (talk) 04:55, 22 January 2012 (UTC)

Okay, thanks :D - ✔Pokégeek™✔ 13:52, 22 January 2012 (UTC)

The reason for its removal is exactly as Werdnae mentioned: the previous and next rounds are in the infobox for every manga chapter of every manga, so it's kind of redundant. :P sorry! --ZestyCactus 21:25, 22 January 2012 (UTC)

Projects Merchandise and Manga question

I posted this two weeks ago to the talk pages on both projects but didn't get a response at either one, so hoped you might be able to give me one. If I'm bugging, just let me know.

First, I'm able to scan covers for all 16 English monthly issues of the Electric Tale of Pikachu... but I wasn't sure which resolution would be best for them. I also have second edition versions of the first four issues and a special mini issue of number 3 packaged as a promotion with a gaming magazine. What's a good size for that sort of scan, and should I replace the grainy stock photos?

Secondly, I saw you made a comment saying that you want to catalogue all of the North American DVD and VHS releases. I can provide scans and the info for 80+ of the DVDs, but there's no template to work with. I also have about 10 or so of the Indigo League tapes and volume 4 of the UK's R2 Chronicles release. If someone can cobble a template to work with, I'd happily get cracking on the pages. Triltaison 07:17, 4 March 2012 (UTC)Triltaison

Omg if you could scan those Electric Tale of Pikachu issue covers that would be badass!! (since i only own the first four, lol) I'm not too picky about resolution really, as long as it looks good but isn't too huge it should be fine (pls use .png format) do the second editions look different? and oh i have one of those promos too... maybe don't scan it if it has the same picture on it, but um i have one too from a DVD so i will check it and get back to you on if i think it's "different" enough to scan xD it's definitely worth a mention on the respective page!!

And i'm glad to see you share my dream of cataloguing all the VHS/DVD/BD releases, but what you told me is the exact reason why i haven't started yet (except Pokémon All-Stars and Pokémon Elements)..... it's so daunting, and i have no idea how to organise it! actually, let me know what you think: should they be organised by region, format, or season, or a mix of all three? tell me what your ideas are and i will make you a beautiful table/page(s) that we can work on together :D --ZestyCactus 03:44, 5 March 2012 (UTC)

Also you can replace some of the existing ones that are kind of ugly (re: surf's up pikachu #1 et al) those really ugly ones are actually photos that somebody took and uploaded in 2005 at Bulbapedia's beginnings, but I didn't have any other images for those issues since I don't own them myself so I kept them for now as placeholders. ^^' --ZestyCactus 03:48, 5 March 2012 (UTC)

Yeah, "daunting" isn't even strong enough a word. ^^;

I think the best thing to do would be to have a sort of listing like the manga page, only separated by regions instead of the type of manga (original, anime adaptation, or whatever). Then under the regional headings they'd be grouped by seasons. Since Japan groups Indigo through Masterquest as one series, then the Advanced arc, followed by DP, and then BW, they should be grouped like that for the Japanese DVDs (when we get entries for them). The rest of the world follows the US season divisions, so divide 'em up like that for them. Then have the season link go to a listing of all DVDs available for that season with a page for each volume. For boxsets, do a page for each disc (because each one has different art) while specifying if it's a part of a larger set or available for individual purchase. Perhaps give VHS the same treatment, with a note on each page linking to the DVD release (and the DVD to the VHS) since I think they were the exact same release on different formats. Not sure if it worked that way in other regions, but my Fashion Victims VHS and DVD are exactly the same anyway.

Does that make sense? Triltaison 05:47, 5 March 2012 (UTC)Triltaison

Forgot about the other questions, whoops. The only difference about the second editions is that (for at least EoT and Pikachu Shocks Back) each four issue group was released in a sealed pack together without barcodes. The barcode was on the cardboard stapled to the package opening. They're otherwise identical, but it would probably be good to mention why there are issues floating around without barcodes as a note at least. I can scan them for EoT if you'd really like, though. -And the mini one is about the size of a playing card with only the first four pages of issue 3. The cover has only Brock and Onix from the third issue cover. I thought it might warrant a trivia blurb or note with a possible cover image. Oh! And I've started scanning in my DVDs for preparation. :D Triltaison 03:53, 7 March 2012 (UTC)Triltaison

Oh! That explains why some of my copies don't have barcodes ^^' (long story short - I have two copies each of the first volume's set...that I have collected over the years :) yeah, don't bother scanning both covers, one or the other is enough. the bonus booklet is definitely worth a mention on the issue/chapters's pages, but doesn't absolutely need a cover scan (unless you get bored idk lol, i'll look at mine and decide if i should scan it, mine is a different issue than yours)

As for the division of the movie releases, I like your idea - I think we should split them apart between Japanese and USA seasons as separate articles. I also think maybe we should keep them even more divided than that - like, one for Indigo League, one for MQ, one for Galactic Battles, and so on, or at least by generation (OS/AG/DP/BW) otherwise the page will be huge!! As for formats, I don't know what I want to do yet, since all the VHS releases I have are matched by DVD as far as episode amounts, it's just a different format... although I think we should scan both covers since it's a different shape and there may be other differences (and it seems more fun ;)) (plus i am a big VHS freak/collecter/whatever. so i have lots of covers to scan...and i love VHS movies ^o^)

Oh my only concern for the VHS thing is that I have some from Quebec (Canadian French) and i thiiiiiiiink the episode order is different but I'm not sure, i'd have to crosscheck them with my English Canadian ones. Anyway they definitely have different cover art...!! so idk how you want to do these from other regions, like should they get their own pages or what. since i am also an enthusiast for including information about Pokémon stuff from other regions :)

Ok so let me know what you think and we can get started!! --ZestyCactus 03:05, 8 March 2012 (UTC)

Oh, yeah, totally! I meant each season should get a page, but I think it got lost in my typing. Each Region/market should get its own thing, like you were saying with the Canadian release. UK, Italy, France, and Japan share a region code, but their releases are crazy different. It would only make sense to link parallel releases from the same region, like the DVD and VHS versions of the Viz releases. I made a mock table of an outline that I think would work here: [1] (ignore the header and sidebar -was too lazy to code fresh CSS). The link for the Indigo League is an idea of how to maybe set up the actual disc listing pages, too. It's really simple, but I think that grouping would work well. I also think that Movies and specials should have their own list page since they're a little harder to place seasonally in the North American market and can just be lumped together, along with the Winter Vacation and Mewtwo Returns DVDs (which were treated like movies in their stateside release in the first place). Just listing the available regions for each market shouldn't be nearly as long as the full episode listing page since worldwide releases are pretty spotty. I know the UK has only gotten about half the movies and Chronicles, and mainland Europe got a handful of random releases with Italy seemingly getting the most according to my eBay prowling. Hopefully comm members can supply some info on that.

VHS should generally follow whatever set-up we do as the DVD page, but using NTSC/PAL instead of region. So it'd be NTSC (US) for American tapes, NTSC (JP) for Japanese tapes, and PAL (UK) for British tapes and so on. I don't think there were ever any SECAM releases, but I suppose that it's possible and we might need to add some at some point. And no worries -I'm a big fan of international releases too. XD They're hard to find info on outside of their country of origin, so I think it'd be great to try and include as many as we can. ^^ Triltaison 09:17, 9 March 2012 (UTC)Triltaison

Isamu Akai's Conkeldurr

I am currently working on the article about Isamu Akai's Conkeldurr on an external device. Do you think the Conkeldurr deserves to have its* own article as it became Isamu's traveling companion and Isamu's other traveling companion got their own articles? PattyMan 02:32, 20 March 2012 (UTC)

Yes, definitely as long as it has a similar role to, say, Tyrogue and so on. (*hasn't read the PMBW manga yet* ^^) --ZestyCactus 02:29, 21 March 2012 (UTC)

It does have a similar role to Tyrogue and thank you. PattyMan 14:01, 22 March 2012 (UTC)
