DontExplain:

==Welcome==
Welcome to [[Bulbapedia]], {{BASEPAGENAME}}!

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 [[Help:Editing|this page]].
*The {{bp|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 {{bp|talk page}}s, please sign your comments with four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>).
*The use of {{cat|link templates}} is official policy. For an explanation on their use, see the page on {{bp|shortlinks}}.
*If you happen to spot a vandal in the [[Special:Recentchanges|recent changes]] that has not been dealt with, please see {{bp|dealing with vandalism|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 [[Special:Wantedpages|this page]]. A list of short articles that may require more information can be found {{cat|stubs|here}}, while a list of articles that need improvement can be found {{cat|articles needing improvement|here}}.
*For a future capture, release, trade, or evolution of a Pokémon belonging to a main character of the {{pkmn|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).
*If you want to make a page about a character you made up, please create it at User:{{PAGENAME}}/(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 [[Special:Listusers/sysop|here]].

Thank you, and have a good time editing here! [[User:Agggron|Agggron]]

== Talking ==
you see, we use talk pages for talking, so, give me one good reason why i shouldnt take a pile of garbage up there ^^^ and move it onto your main page, thusly, de-redding your name. -- '''[[User:MAGNEDETH|MAG]][[User:MAGNEDETH#Interesting Stuff|NE]][[User talk:MAGNEDETH|DETH]]''' 01:11, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
:I see that, and above this post is it not clear that I am talking to you? As the general courtesy around Bulbapedia is to lay off of other peoples' user pages, I am confident that you will honor this and leave my redlinked name alone. It is my personal preference that my name stays red, so please don't let it bother you. It may interest you to know that while not editing in my own userspace, I will keep my usertalk and user-subpage edits to a minimum also, while still contributing to the encyclopedia as a whole. But thank you for your concern anyway. -- [[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|THE TROM]] 01:17, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
::keeping user edits down is fine, but, we dont allow non-sense like that on talk pages, and as an admin, you know, a guy made to enforce the rules, its my obligation to call shenanigans and move that mess to your main page. OR, you can move it yourself to a sub-page. but rules are, talk pages are for talking, not giant links or whatever that dont have any use on a talk page. also, i am keeping the conversation in one place, right here. -- '''[[User:MAGNEDETH|MAG]][[User:MAGNEDETH#Interesting Stuff|NE]][[User talk:MAGNEDETH|DETH]]''' 01:22, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

== Trivia ==

i know for a fact there's far better things to do than go around removing trivia, so, while i know it strikes a nerve with you for whatever reason, just stop unless its really that unnecessary. granted, that could be the problem, you see something as useless when it actually qualifies as interesting. in the end, might as well just leave it alone. -- '''[[User:MAGNEDETH|MAG]][[User:MAGNEDETH#Interesting Stuff|NE]][[User talk:MAGNEDETH|DETH]]''' 02:29, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

== America! ==

not all of us are American. in fact, the topic regarding what version of English to use is a hot topic, but, given the Pokemon games are dubbed into American English, that's what we do. -- '''[[User:MAGNEDETH|MAG]][[User:MAGNEDETH#Interesting Stuff|NE]][[User talk:MAGNEDETH|DETH]]''' 00:25, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

== In the manga ==
Wouldn't that be in [[Pokemon Special]]? There are after all other mangas. I would think a distinction in the title would be nice. Keeping in mind I'm not 100% sure it's Pokemon Special because I haven't read those... either way it should be more specific! [[User:Derian|[[Derian]]]] 17:16, 17 September 2009 (UTC)

== Only place without a Pokémon Center? ==
In the Trivia section: "Lake of Rage is the only location where the player can fly to that doesn't have a Pokémon Center"

Isn't this wrong? New Bark Town doesn't have a Pokémon center, and that is in Johto too. I thought I'd clarify before I edited it.
