Glitch pokémon pages

Thanks for helping me on the cleanup of this mess, and thanks also for noticing that this template has the names ordered by their hexadecimals. Still, there's something I want you, a staff member that doesn't often contribute to this type of pages, to notice: when adding pokémon there, please leave 7 per line, for it to have a normal size. That means the <br>'s have to be moved. Thanks. TheOriginalOne 22:38, 21 July 2013 (UTC)

User

I think that this user may be the same as this user who was blocked earlier today. Their usernames are almost identical minus the newer accounts addition of Unova. --It's Funktastic~!_{話してください} 22:51, 21 July 2013 (UTC)

I'll leave it for now...despite the similarity, both accounts have different IP addresses and are not in the exact same location. :S --ZestyCactus 16:05, 27 July 2013 (UTC)

The Pokemon Adventures main characters template

On the template that lists the main characters of Pokemon Adventures, it seems that after Rakutsu and Faitsu were added to the BWB2W2 section, someone made an attempt to middle-justify all the text inside each rows since with the addition of two more new characters in the BWB2W2 section, a lot more space was allowed. However, it looks like only the RGBY/FRLG row was middle-justified. All others are still left-justified. Do you know how to fix this? Or if admins only can fix it, can you take care of it? I do think that middle-justified looks much better but might as well complete the project. Arceus101 (talk) 20:30, 23 July 2013 (UTC)

Oh and also, is there a reason why there hasn't been any info on Bulbapedia about the Mt. Silver training chapters? (Besides, of course, the articles about the chapters themselves.) Is it because there is no place to put them since they aren't incorporated into a specific arc or volume yet? If that is the case, then a solution could be to place relevant summaries of the chapters right after the GSC section of the characters who were involved (Red, Gold and Pika). That is, until the two special chapters are incorporated into a specific arc (that is, IF that happens, which I think it will since it's not like Kusaka to just leave out a chapter with no home, look at what he did with the Escape chapter).

I fix it so that everything is middle-justified. — Reshi643 21:23, 23 July 2013 (UTC)

Kay, thanks. :) Arceus101 (talk) 22:12, 23 July 2013 (UTC)

Most likely nobody knows where to put the info on character's pages, etc, since nobody knows for sure where it is in chronological order. Anything you can fit in though that's not speculation is good. --ZestyCactus 16:07, 27 July 2013 (UTC)

About the Ruby & Sapphire section...

Perhaps it would be better to just delete this page and add its contents to the RS section on this page? I feel like there are two pages relevant to the RS timeline and only one is necessary, and considering that the main Pokemon Adventures timeline page is, well, the main page, it would look better if the two pages were merged. Arceus101 (talk) 01:03, 24 July 2013 (UTC)

I wouldn't have a problem with it... I left it separate at this time since we already had that page and it was keeping the main one from being huge. But merging them is a fine idea too. --ZestyCactus 16:07, 27 July 2013 (UTC)

Okay, I created this page in my userspace to test out the format that I suggested to you. Feel free to edit it any way you want and please correct any mistakes you spot. I'm sure that there will be some. I'll do the RS section first (using this page as a reference) and then I'll get to Emerald, which will be a tad more difficult because there is no reference of dates so far (but if you want to, you can get started on the Emerald section). Please give some feedback as this is an idea that I developed on my own. Thanks! Arceus101 (talk) 02:10, 30 July 2013 (UTC)

Quickly adding something here. The last volume of the Emerald arc does reference what days the events took place throughout the chapter. ^ht14 02:27, 30 July 2013 (UTC)

Okay I didn't know that. Thanks. I just looked at it and I was able to make the edits for the Emerald section a lot quicker than I expected to. I just have one uncertainty: where exactly the transition between July 5 and July 6 took place. I assumed that it took place between the transitions between Volume 28 and Volume 29 which is what I put but that's a dangerous assumption and it's probably wrong. If any of you two happen to know at what point the date transition took place for certain, then can you make the edit? (Or confirm my edit, if that's the case.) Thanks. Arceus101 (talk) 02:55, 30 July 2013 (UTC)

I really like the format you've used so far, I'll get back to you on the dates once I come back from holiday and can look into it better. --ZestyCactus 02:17, 31 July 2013 (UTC)

Volume 46 rounds

Can you move the rounds ABW20-ABW28 to PS480-PS488? Those are the rounds that were included in the recently-released Volume 46. Thanks! Arceus101 (talk) 23:37, 27 July 2013 (UTC)

All done ^o^ --ZestyCactus 20:17, 28 July 2013 (UTC)

Okay, thank you! And btw, is there a particular reason why all those Pokemon Adventures round pages are protected? It's not like anyone's gonna bite. :/ Arceus101 (talk) 00:10, 29 July 2013 (UTC)

It's been a rule to move-protect all epicoded pages. I guess it's to prevent vandalism against a high traffic page and some such things. (Probably moreso for anime than manga but ya) --ZestyCactus 00:03, 30 July 2013 (UTC)

Pokémon Try Adventure characters

I was able to create the pages for all of the main characters of Pokémon Try Adventure. Can you fill in the info about them from volumes 2 and 3 on their pages? PattyMan 02:35, 28 July 2013 (UTC)

Yes, no problem! I am going on holiday for a week with no access to a scanner but I will do it when I come back :) --ZestyCactus 20:14, 28 July 2013 (UTC)

Okay. PattyMan 21:30, 28 July 2013 (UTC)

What to do with certain events

I asked you this before but it got archived before you probably saw it so I'll ask you this again. What should we do about events that take place several years prior to a certain chapter but not necessarily before the series started? For example, some user added in info about Ruby and Sapphire meeting when they were kids which, if that user is correct, took place after Red won the Pokemon League. Which means that it was NOT pre-series so it does not belong in that section. What should we do about events like those? Should we add them between chapter sections at which point the event most likely took place? (So in the case of Ruby and Sapphire meeting as kids, it would belong between the RGB section and the Yellow section.) I can't think of all these events off the top of my head but some examples of these that I can think of are the birth times of the younger main characters. So for example, if my math is correct and only assuming that BW takes place three years after Platinum, Black and White would have been born the same year as the RGB chapter and Rakutsu and Faitsu would have been born the same year as the RS chapter. So what should we do about events like those that I mentioned? Arceus101 (talk) 01:20, 31 July 2013 (UTC)

One thing that COULD work is, if it's necessary, between chapters putting in a section that says "During the time between *previous chapter* and *following chapter*" or something like that. Some events like that that I can think of is between HGSS and DP, Cynthia's Gabite evolved into Garchomp, between GSC and DP, Dia and Pearl saw the news about the Red Gyarados and the Jigglypuff and Clefairy show that was mentioned in the Red Special Chapter (and speaking of which, that would be a good place to mention the events of the Red Special Chapter), between the RGB chapter and the Yellow chapter, Yellow acquired a Doduo from her uncle and between the Yellow chapter and the GSC chapter, Yellow acquired Chuchu. Arceus101 (talk) 01:28, 31 July 2013 (UTC)

@Arceus101, what you propose might just work... the question is what type of header should be used. ^ht14 01:57, 31 July 2013 (UTC)

My response must have got buried in the archive lol. What you've proposed sounds fine. Using History of the Pokémon world as an example, a header something like "After the Gold, Silver & Crystal chapter" in between the GSC chapter and the RS chapter (or whatever appropriate chapter) would work well. --ZestyCactus 02:15, 31 July 2013 (UTC)

Okay I'll make the due edits. Thanks for your input guys! Arceus101 (talk) 04:39, 31 July 2013 (UTC)
