Welcome

Welcome to Bulbapedia, JessTehSkox!

As a new user, you may wish to learn a few things that will be useful in your editing:

  • For a basic overview of wiki code, see this page.
  • The manual of style is very important. Make sure to read it. It outlines all official policies of Bulbapedia.
  • The word Pokémon is spelled with a capital P and an accented é. The P, of course, is accessed easily by holding Shift and pressing the P key, while the é can be accessed using Alt + 130 or Alt + 0233 on a Windows computer, and Option + e, then e again on a Mac. Otherwise, you can click it in the character palette below the editbox.
  • The word Poké Ball is spelled as two words. The "Poké" part is identical to the four beginning letters in "Pokémon"; "Ball" is spelled with a captial B (which is, again, accessed by holding Shift and pressing the B key). The spelling "Pokéball" arises frequently, but is incorrect.
  • The word "you" and all forms of it should not be used on encyclopedic pages unless it is a quote from Pokémon media. Bulbapedia is an encyclopedia, not a walkthrough.
  • On talk pages, please sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).
  • The use of link templates is official policy. For an explanation on their use, see the page on shortlinks.
  • If you happen to spot a vandal in the recent changes that has not been dealt with, please see this page for how to deal with it.
  • A list of pages that are linked to, but have not been created, can be found at this page. A list of short articles that may require more information can be found here, while a list of articles that need improvement can be found here.
  • If you want to make a page about a character you made up, please create it at User:JessTehSkox/(name), not merely (name). Bulbapedia's main namespace is reserved for actual, official Pokémon, items, characters, and locations. Also, please try to make sure that subpages are not categorized by templates used within.
  • A list of the admins that you can contact in case of a problem, can be found here.

Thank you, and have a good time editing here! TTEchidna 16:48, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

Say...

You've been doing a pretty good job with adding those TCG Origins. Keep up the good work! :D --ニョロトノ666 17:13, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

Writing [[move|moves]] is technically out of style and makes a couple different people mad. It is actually supposed to be written as [[move]]s. This can be done for a lot more and it won't make people mad, for example: [[double battle]]s instead of [[Double battle|double battles]]. Please keep this in mind.

Seems like a really minor thing to get mad about - seems mildly irritating at best - but point taken. JessTehSkox 02:12, 19 December 2008 (UTC)

I'd not waste your time

We plan on changing up the TCG illustrators, so I wouldn't do anything on those pages. All your work could be lost if you do anymore, so, keep doing the origins. We need more than we need updating illustrator pages, they are all outdated, old, and in time for a new way of doing them, which we plan on making. Thank you! MaverickNate 03:34, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

Also, skip the VS set, we don't necessarily know if those are the correct attacks or not, we need to double check them first. MaverickNate 03:56, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
Wow, I....guess I've got quite a knack for stupidly throwing myself into time-wasting endeavours. Expedition it is, then! --JessTehSkox 04:08, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

EX Emerald

No need for the release information sections, that info will be going into the infobox once other things get done. MaverickNate 04:31, 1 January 2009 (UTC)

Thankies! MaverickNate 04:34, 1 January 2009 (UTC)

Umm...

Great that you're writing in the origins. Please though, make sure that the move/ability sounds similar AND functions similarly to the actual from the game. Marvel Scale doesn't disallow any moves or anything similar...it just raises defense... ht14 03:35, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

While I feel that Mystic Scale was named specifically to fit into the same naming scheme as Marvel Scale (and attempted to phrase that particular sentence to emphasize the name-only connection), and that it's not a completely invalid connection as plenty of actual moves' TCG versions function nothing like their in-game counterparts (EX Emerald Medicham ex's Pure Power comes to mind), I will nonetheless take that advice and try to follow a general "The less similar the moves'/abilities' names are, the more similar their functions must be to justify making a note of it" rule. Point taken. JessTehSkox 03:58, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
...Good old Water Pulse. I think the point of origin in this case is simply this: do the moves/abilities make sense to the game version? ht14 04:03, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
Not yelling at you...don't feel bad. Here's a perfect example though: Castform (Legends Awakened 49). Normally, in the games, Water Pulse has a chance of confusion. However, in the TCG (I believe) all with this move has a chance of sleep (although, I guess if one has no more ideas other than Hidden Power and no side effects, I don't blame them one bit for making new moves for Unown. ht14 04:11, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
Uhhh... Jess is fine. They don't need to function similarly to be noted. Whenever Confusion appears in the TCG, it causes paralysis. Jess is doing exactly what needs to be done and correctly at that matter! MaverickNate 04:17, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
Ok then. ht14 04:21, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
Though calling me out over the Mystic/Marvel Scale thing was completely justified, I think. I occasionally fall victim to a throw-in-whatever-comes-to-mind approach, lazily assuming if anything's too over-the-line it'll be speedily rectified. (And it usually has.) The TCG takes some enormous creative liberties with certain game elements, plus there's all sorts of weird translation choices (the TCG Dive attack being a perfect, and particularly obnoxious example), so I acknowledge there will be disagreement over just what qualifies as an origin. (Also, having not seen that Castform card previously....they've actually started translating it as Water Pulse instead of the made-up-to-fit-the-effect Super Hypno Wave? Interesting.)

And very much deserved, if I might say so. Some stellar contributions to the Trivia and Origin sections from you, which is fantastic. =) Cipher (Talk) 11:12, 9 January 2009 (UTC)
Thanks! I'd kinda assumed it was a waste of time - how important could everyone else think these are, honestly? - but apparently not. 'Tis a nice little bit of motivation to help me get through the seemingly never-ending wave of EX-era sets! JessTehSkox 12:04, 9 January 2009 (UTC)
DP's a lot nicer to work on than EX (don't know how that works, but it does), and EX does end eventually. Might not seem like it, but it does! =P Cipher (Talk) 12:18, 9 January 2009 (UTC)
