Please study the list of Japanese Pokémon names. Memorise it if you wish. Transcribing each kana literally is not going to give you the correct romanisation. - 00:42, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

This is your second reminder to peruse that list of names. - 振霖_T 02:14, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

Please stop ignoring the head of the Bulbapedia. The romanization we use is not always the literal one - it is the one that Pokémon in Japan trademarks as correct and uses on merchandise. And no, no matter how many times you edit that list, we will not be switching to your preferred style of romanization. Ignoring this again may lead to a temporary suspension of your account. --Pie 15:59, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

As much as I wish that Pokémon would spell things using more kanji sometimes, the episode titles for the original series rarely, no, never used kanji. I do know, however, that the Pocket Monsters Encore website spells the titles with kanji - but the original airings don't. - 振霖_T 02:39, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

Hrm, I'm less concerned about that particular kind of copying. One: there really is no other way of coding such things, two: the images themselves are not covered by the GFDL (it can't be - the uploader does not have the copyright). I suppose, though, we should make our own images instead of just using those used on Wikipedia... (a collage, believe it or not, is a creative work in itself) - 振霖_T 15:24, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

Why are you so dead-set against that episode having a screenshot? --Pie 00:43, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

Explain why you want the screenshots out of the articles, now. I haven't been adding this field to every friggin' episode article just to have you try and remove the template.

Okay, let me be blunt - those pictures suck, and it doesn't look good to have them floating around the article. And direct-linking to TV-Tokyo's images is bad. --Pie 01:01, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

Repeat - direct-linking to TV-Tokyo's images is bad! If you want to use the images so badly, upload them to the archives. --Pie 01:36, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

Please don't abuse footnotes. - 振霖_T 13:10, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

All right, let me explain this to you so you don't get blocked again. We prefer FabuVinny's hand-picked screenshots to the cookie-cutter screenshots you see on every website. So, please don't just go and replace the former with the latter. Additional screenshots are welcome to make the episode's summary more visually interesting, but the screenshot should be something that shows as much about the episode as possible - for example, with AG001, I would say the picture of May examining the starter Pokémon and trying to pick the best one is better than just the image of her smiling face. --Pie 18:24, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

Stop it, stop it, stop it, stop it, stop it. The only reason Zhen Lin is "taking Taylor's side" is because we prefer his images! I updated the manual of style in regards to this issue. There is no need for a dispute over this. The only problem here is that you're being a whiny brat about your images being replaced by ones which were not taken from every other Pokémon website ever. Yes, his are better for that reason, and it is not rude for him to replace yours because this is a wiki and we thus favor quality over senority. Capisce? --Pie 18:00, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

Oy vey

First off: Don't even bother e-mailing me anymore, because last time I tried to respond to you my reply was bounced back by your spam filter system.

Second off: I am sick and tired of you bothering me on what is supposed to be my break because you're heartbroken that we're not punishing someone for something that isn't against the rules on Bulbapedia. No, they aren't "a bucket fill of flowers" as you stated in the e-mail, but neither are yours, and no, just because TV-Tokyo uses them does not make them the special, official defining screenshot of the episode. Cry me a river, build me a bridge and get over it.

If you consider it rude, I'm sorry, but this is a wiki and replacement is the status quo. There is no matter of seniority, there is no matter of who-gets-to-pick-their-favorite-what. It is not personal, and if we are "taking sides" it is because you're being a far larger nuisance than Taylor is.

And yes, you are being the only nuisance here by whining and screaming and reverting and generally throwing an enormous fit over this. And no, it is not helping you any by acting like this. We heard you the first time, and we responded. Your continued participation in the reverting war and the repetition of your complaint has done nothing but aggravated us.

Drop it right now. As it stands, there is far too much drama over something so miniscule as this. You are literally tempting me to delete all the screenshots and remove the section for the screenshots themselves from the episode profiles, because they really are not worth all this trouble. You want to make a useful contribution to the Bulbapedia? I can name a few more important things you could do.

Have I made myself clear yet? Calm down, read this over carefully, and think about everything I am trying to say to you. I don't want to have to say it again. Capisce? --Pie 22:24, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
