Template talk:Tutor

Gen III Pokémon

For some reason, the generation III Pokémon that use this have a broken link to their generation II movesets. It seems to be exclusive to gen III Pokémon and to this template; the breeding, level-up and TM/HM ones don't do it. I've looked at the code to try and find out why it links to a non-existant moveset, but I haven't had much luck. --Martonimos_{((Argh|Blargh))} 02:46, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

Oh shoot. I'll fix it tomorrow. TTEchidna 06:17, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

Column for Pokemon XD?

Only new moves are Nightmare, Sky Attack and SelfDestruct. All the other moves can be learned from Emerald. but those three moves should still be noted if we want to be a complete pokedex. The Placebo Effect 15:48, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

It'll be a hard thing to hack... but I'll do my best. Once I've changed it, I'd appreciate it if you'd help me to fix the 386 broken tables we'll have... If they can learn the XD tutors they'd be a column after FRLGE and before DPPt...

Speaking of which... if Pt has new MT moves, we'd have to break/fix it again. So about a week after the release of the game, after we know if there's any new MTs, I'd say, we can get to work on adding the XD tutors, all right? TTEchidna 18:25, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

Sounds cool, i guess i can help fix all the templates i'm breaking.

Or...instead of breaking it, we can make is so some of the variable s are named. (i.e. XD=yes or XD =no ; Pt = yes Pt = no) and just add theose variable to the end of the template. It's a sloppy fix, but it won't break templates. The Placebo Effect 18:47, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

Eh. Breaking the template, then recoding it so that the games come at the end would save a lot of the hassle and keep it short on the pages. TTEchidna 00:47, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, i have to agree, that is easier in the long run.

Don't know if you ever thought of this, but lots of the templates are not user accessible because the coding is not explained. Would you mind if I made it so the template pages had some "instructions" on how to use the templates? The Placebo Effect 01:38, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

Sure. You mean the mtentry and mlentry ones, right? TTEchidna 21:40, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

YEah, the new platinum standard ones

Okay, since we'll need all the help we can get updating them...

{{mtentry4|move|type|category|power|accuracy|PP|contest|appeal|unused here|STAB|FRLG|E|XD|DP|Pt}}

move=move name
type=elemental type
category=damage category
power=power
accuracy=accuracy
PP=PP
contest=contest type
appeal=appeal hearts
unused here=leave blank
STAB='' for evoSTAB, ''' for STAB
FRLG=yes if it was available in FRLG, no if not
E=yes if it was available in E, no if not
XD=yes if it was available in XD, no if not
DP=yes if it was available in DP, no if not
Pt=yes if it was available in Pt, no if not

FOR BODY SLAM
{{mtentry4|Body Slam|Normal|Physical|85|100|15|Tough|3|||yes|yes|no|no|no}}

move=Body Slam
type=Normal
category=Physical
power=85
accuracy=100
PP=15
contest=Tough
appeal=3
unused here=
STAB=
FRLG=yes
E=yes
XD=no
DP=no
Pt=no

XD and Pt should always be no, unless DP is yes, then Pt can be yes, we'll add those MTs later. TTEchidna 22:15, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

By the way, to fix things up

Broken tutor pages will have something like

{{mtentry4|yes|yes|no|Body Slam|Normal|Physical|85|100|15|Tough|3}}

on there... What you want to do is move those yeses and nos to the end. A simple strategy is...

Be sure to keep in mind that if the template ends with a number (that's the contest appeal number) you have to put three vertical pipes (|) before putting any yeses or nos, but if it ends with the STAB indicator, you need only put the yeses and nos after one vertical pipe to separate from the STAB indicator.

Questions? See Swampert or bother TTEchidna. TTEchidna 22:30, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

So basically is it putting no after the first two then doubling the last one...?--Wowy 03:36, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

For what's there, yes. Since we're not yet adding the Platinum tutored moves. TTEchidna 04:28, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

Im so lost, Im not gonna do anymore for fear of having Caterpie know Meteor Mash :P --Mooites ^{Talk to me, baby!} 04:31, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

Caterpie needs no MT moves. Just do what I did. Look at the recent edits to Swampert's page. TTEchidna 09:09, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

For Gen III

Basically you're just moving the yeses and nos to the end, then putting a no after it. Otherwise it's the same as Gen IV.

Same as always, questions go to me. TTEchidna 03:45, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

Previous

Should we add in a section where there was the previous moves that can be taught by move tutor (e.g. Magikarp and Bounce)? ^ht14 21:31, 29 October 2008 (UTC)
