User talk:Staka

Welcome

Welcome to Bulbapedia, Staka!

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.
• Keep an eye on the Messages from the Editor on the main page, to stay informed on current events on Bulbapedia.
• The word Pokémon is spelled with a capital P and an accented é. The é can be accessed by holding Alt and typing either 130 or 0233 on a Windows computer, and by using Option + e, then e again on a Mac. Otherwise, you can easily 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 capital B. 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 or other 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.
• For a future capture, release, trade, or evolution of a Pokémon belonging to a main character of the anime, please do not create or move the page to reflect your suspicions, even if they are shared by many others. Policy here is to wait until the episode in which the event happens takes place is aired, unless there is substantial evidence for the suspicion (such as Brock's Happiny being held in his arms).
• Image uploading is done on Bulbagarden Archives, a separate wiki accessible through the toolbox in the sidebar. This is done so that both Bulbapedia and Bulbanews have access to the images uploaded. To activate your account at the Archives and Bulbanews, please login there using the same username and password you use here on Bulbapedia.
• If you want to make a page about a character you made up, please create it at User:Staka/(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.
• Having said this, please make sure that you do contribute adequately to the main namespace. Bulbapedia is not MySpace or Facebook.
• 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! --^Moldy_Orange 18:34, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

Platinum entries

I'm interested in how do you know what will the English Pokédex entries be (since you don't seem to mark them as translations)? If your source is reliable, just go on, but at least I haven't heard about any new source confirming the final entries. UltimateSephiroth ^{(user · talk · contrib)} 14:39, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

I too was wondering this. Did you translate the japanese, or are you using an emulaotr(which cant be trusted, sorry)--DCM_{((Shut the **** upSpy on My Edits))}

I find it sketchy that for Ivysaur and Venusaur you added a translation that was used for both Diamond and Pearl, which means that the entire series would have the same entry, something that has never happened for any Pokémon in any series. And if you are using an emulator, or translating yourself, it is still unofficial. It is only official when Nintendo announces them, puts them in an early screenshot, or it is found in some Easter Egg of the Japanese version, in which case something like JP should be added, as a lot can happen in six-nine months--RexRacer -talk 15:03, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

It is the same entry.. in Platinum, English, as well as other languages, show up in the pokedex. - unsigned comment from Staka (talk • contribs)

English Platinum hasn't been released yet, we can't know things for sure. And remember to sign your comments on talk pages with four tildes (~~~~). UltimateSephiroth ^{(about me · chat · edits)} 19:54, 29 November 2008 (UTC)

Oh I forgot this site is using MediaWiki... I would've known. --Staka 21:56, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
