==Blurb==

As Ash heads back to Hearthome City for his long-delayed Gym battle, he's concerned about his own Gligar's battle woes. Even though Ash gives Gligar lots of special training, it just can't get its act together. Gligar finally gives up and flies away, only to run into Gary Oak. Gary offers to help with Gligar's problem, starting by having a friendly battle between Gligar and Gary's Umbreon. Once the battle starts, Gligar panics, and Gary realizes what the problem is: Gligar is overcome by fear whenever it tries to fight.

Gary thinks Gligar should use a Razor Fang to evolve into Gliscor, and Gary just happens to have a Razor Fang he can give to Ash. Once Gligar is a powerful Gliscor, its fear will be a thing of the past! Gligar loves this idea, but Ash says no; he wants Gligar to conquer its fear before it evolves. Poor Gligar gets another shock when Team Rocket springs an ambush with their giant Gliscorbot, snatching Gligar and making a getaway. Ash manages to leap onto the Gliscorbot before it escapes, but that just means Ash and Gligar end up stuck in the same cage!

While Team Rocket celebrates their catch by eating themselves into a stupor, Ash coaches Gligar to break them out of the cage with X-Scissor. With Gligar's help, the two of them then escape across a chasm, and Gligar's confidence begins to build. Just in time, too, because Team Rocket has caught up with their escaped captives! Ash tosses Gligar the Razor Fang and it evolves just in time to save them both from Team Rocket's clutches. In fact, by the time Gary and the others catch up to Ash, Gliscor has Team Rocket pretty well beat! Gary says his farewells and our heroes get back on the road to Hearthome City, now accompanied by a confident new Gliscor!

==Plot==
{{cleanup}}
{{Ash}}, {{an|Dawn}} and {{an|Brock}} begin eating. As they do, Brock seems happy at how well the group of Pokémon are getting along and how they seem to be enjoying the food. On ground level, {{TP|Dawn|Swinub}} starts to take too much of a liking to {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}}'s food portion but is stopped by the no-nonsense penguin who pushes it back. {{AP|Turtwig}} gets between the two bickering Pokémon and stops the fight before it starts, while Ash and Dawn laugh at the squabbling duo. Ash then realizes that {{p|Gligar}} is nowhere to be found and gets up and starts to look around for the missing Pokémon. Ash calls out its name, and is replied instantly by an affectionate Gligar who drops down from the sky and lands straight on top of Ash slamming him to the ground. Ash wonders where Gligar went to, and Gligar starts to use {{m|X-Scissor}} to show Ash that it has been training. Ash is impressed, and Brock wonders if maybe it's trying harder to get stronger after [[DP081|being defeated]] by [[Paul]]'s {{p|Gliscor}}. Dawn tells Brock to hush as he's hurting Gligar's feelings and Ash comforts the upset Pokémon by telling it that they'll do some training together soon.

After the group finish their meal, a practice battle between Gligar and {{AP|Buizel}} is set up so Gligar can practice some of its moves. Gligar seems confident, before Buizel starts to look at it with an evil smirk. Gligar's confidence starts to waver, but Ash tells it that everything will be fine and that a battle like this is just what it needs. Gligar is satisfied by this, and Ash starts the battle off by telling Gligar to use X-Scissor. Gligar tries hitting Buizel with the attack, but the Sea Weasel proves too fast for it and keeps dodging every attack. Ash then tells Buizel to use {{m|Aqua Jet}}, which it does jumping into the air and speeding towards Gligar with a high powered water attack. Gligar falls to the ground and starts crying, before jumping into Ash's arms and clinging to his head. Buizel continues its attack and smashes straight into Ash, who is far from impressed. Ash asks Gligar what is wrong, but Dawn tells him that he's going about it the wrong way and kneels down to Gligar's level. She then starts comforting it, stroking and gives it a hug which makes Gligar blush and stop crying.

[[File:Ash scolding Gligar.png|thumb|220px|Ash scolding Gligar]]
Brock suggests that Ash should maybe use a different Pokémon, and Ash calls out Turtwig to battle against Gligar. Ash tells Turtwig to use {{m|Energy Ball}}, which Gligar manages to dodge but only because it's trying to run away. Ash tells Gligar to use {{m|Steel Wing}}, which it does but falters when Turtwig stares at it ferociously, ready to defend. Gligar then spins around and starts chasing after Ash, who starts to run away. Gligar swoops down, knocking over Ash again with its weight. Ash wonders what is wrong with Gligar and starts to scold the Pokémon who takes it a little too harshly and flies away sobbing. Watching all of this is {{TRT}} who are hiding in the bushes. [[James]] thinks this is the perfect chance to steal Gligar, who will now be alone and defenseless. {{MTR}} explains that they could capture Gligar and send it to {{an|Giovanni|the Boss}}, who could use it to shield his eyes in the morning when the sun peeks in through the window. [[Jessie]] thinks this is a great idea, and the three celebrate at their latest plan.

Meanwhile, Ash, Dawn, and Brock are calling out for the missing Gligar to no avail. {{AP|Staravia}} then flies onto the scene, and Ash asks if the bird Pokémon has seen Gligar. Staravia nods, and the gang follow it to a forest clearing where they find Gligar along with a familiar face: Ash's old [[rival]] turned {{pkmn|Professor|Pokémon Researcher}}, [[Gary Oak]]. The two greet each other, and Dawn is instantly awe-struck by seeing {{an|Professor Oak|the poetry guy}}'s grandson again. Gary asks about Gligar, to which Ash replies that it is his. Ash explains that they were in the middle of a battle when it ran off. Gary smirks playfully at Ash and suggests that maybe Ash isn't able to look after his Pokémon. Ash takes the bait and says that he and Gligar get along just fine. Ash then calls Gligar back to him, but Gligar recoils in fright. Ash grabs a hold of Gligar telling to stop being silly, but Gligar refuses to budge and continues to hide behind Gary. Brock comments that Gligar may not trust Ash anymore and Ash grits his teeth in frustration. Not soon after, the two begin a battle to try to train Gligar up. Ash starts the battle off by telling Gligar to use Steel Wing, which is followed by Gary who tells {{TP|Gary|Umbreon}} to use {{m|Shadow Ball}}. The attack misses Gligar, but the scared Pokémon recoils in fear and falls back down and lands on Ash. The group then start theorizing on what could be wrong with Gligar, and then the battle starts again. Taking in some of the conversation between the group, Gligar starts warming up to the battle by bouncing on its tail before jumping up to fly. However, once in the air Gligar becomes scared at how high it is and falls back down to the ground and lands on Ash.

At that, Gary says that he has something that may help Gligar, and pulls out a [[Razor Fang]] and hands it to Ash, telling him the Razor Fang will make Gligar [[Evolution|evolve]] into Gliscor. Gligar tries to grab the item from Ash but Ash stops it, putting his hand out to stop the over-eager Pokémon telling it that evolution is no substitute for hard work. Suddenly, a large noise is heard from nearby and Team Rocket emerge from the trees in a Gliscor-shaped balloon. The team then recite their usual motto, followed up by {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} who pops out of its Poké Ball as usual. Gary isn't impressed to see Team Rocket again, who he regards as lame, which annoys the trio to no end. In retaliation to those words, they release the spike of the Gliscor balloon which shoots out and grabs onto Gligar, pulling it in. Ash jumps onto the tail and is pulled towards the balloon along with it much to Team Rocket's annoyance. Ash then calls out Staravia, which is followed by Jessie sending out {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}} to use {{m|Haze}} and {{TP|Jessie|Yanmega}} to use {{m|Silver Wind}}. Seviper appears out of its Poké Ball and releases a deep purple smoke which blinds Staravia, which is followed up by Yanmega which uses Silver Wind to send it plummeting down to the ground.

Soon after, we find Ash and Gligar trapped in a cage with Team Rocket standing nearby their balloon, celebrating their victory. Jessie plans to send for Team Rocket's {{TR|Delibird}} to come pick up Gligar and take it straight to the boss. The three then dig into a large pile of tinned fruit. While all this is happening, Gary, Dawn and Brock are busy searching for Ash with Staravia flying above them keeping look out.

Later that night, Team Rocket are sound asleep which Ash tells Gligar is their chance to escape. Gligar nods, and Ash tells it to use X-Scissor to break open the bars on the cage. Gligar does so, but the attack isn't strong enough so Ash tells it to use it again but this time with as much power as possible. Gligar fails again however, and its claw starts to glow red with pain. Ash tells it not to worry, and starts to smash into the cage bars himself. Gligar watches this in amazement. Gligar then resolves to try as hard as possible to get out of the cage and starts to use X-Scissor again. This time Ash notices a change in the strength of the bar, as it appears wobbly at the top. At this, Ash tells Gligar that they need to work together to get out and they both attack the cage bars at the same time which breaks them open. The two then escape from the clearing where Team Rocket had landed and head out on their way back to the gang. On the way they come across an old, rickety bridge, and Gligar jumps on Ash's back as they try to get across it. The wind makes this difficult, as well as the various holes in the bridge which Ash jumps between. The bridge then falls apart sending Ash and Gligar falling, but Ash manages to grab a hold of the rope holding the bridge together and merely swings and hits the rock facing.

Back at Team Rocket's camp, James wakes up from a peaceful sleep and is horrified to find Ash and Gligar gone. He then tries to wake up Jessie and Meowth. Back with Ash, we find that he and Gligar have managed to climb their way back up to the top of the cliff. Ash looks around, and notices a tree near the edge of the cliff not far from where the bridge used to stand. He tells Gligar to try to knock it over, which it tries to but fails. Ash asks Gligar if it's okay, but Gligar simply gets back up and tries again, jumping into the air and smashing into the tree again. This time, Gligar finally succeeds and the tree falls, forming as a bridge between the two cliff edges. Ash is proud of Gligar, and tells it that it's earned the Razor Fang that Gary gave him before. Gligar is overwhelmed with happiness and hugs Ash, but the happy moment is interrupted by Team Rocket who appear in their Gliscor balloon. Ash tells them to leave them alone, but is ignored as Team Rocket is set on stealing Gligar for Giovanni. The Gliscor tail shoots out again, but Ash jumps in the way of it and is captured instead. Holding Gligar in his arms, he tells it that he's going to let it go so it can escape. He then does so, and Gligar falls down below. Ash then falls himself, and falls past Gligar due to being less air-resistant. Gligar notices Ash falling below and tries to grab him but isn't fast enough. Ash throws Gligar the Razor Fang, which Gligar catches, causing it to instantly evolve into {{AP|Gliscor}}. Ash smiles at seeing his Pokémon evolve, but then remembers he's falling and starts to scream uncontrollably. However Gliscor is now a lot faster than before and grabs Ash and uses its tail to cushion the blow to the ground. Ash thanks his new Gliscor for saving him. Team Rocket then float down from above, and the team seem confident that they can still capture Gligar in its evolved state.

Ash tells Team Rocket that Gliscor belongs to him and isn't going anywhere with them, and then has Gliscor to use X-Scissor, which smashes into the Gliscor balloon tail and knocks it back. At this, Gary, Dawn and Brock run onto the scene and call out to Ash. Dawn is amazed to see that Gligar has evolved, and Brock congratulates it for doing so. Team Rocket then shout out to the group below angry at being ignored, and Meowth sends out the claws of the Gliscor balloon mecha. This is deflected once again by the real Gliscor's X-Scissor attack. Ash then tells it to grab a hold of a tree branch and charge up its power, which it does, before flinging itself of the tree and using Steel Wing aimed at Team Rocket. James smirks, saying that Gliscor can't beat their mecha balloon's power. Meowth then activates the balloon's Steel Wing mode, which emulates the real Pokémon's attack. The two 'Gliscor' face off, both hitting each other at the same time. Ash's Gliscor wins out, and Team Rocket's splits into two halves and falls down to the ground. Meowth gloomily remarks that they won't have a Pokémon to give to Giovanni after all, but Jessie screams at it to help them get the mecha back together again. Ash then tells {{AP|Pikachu}} to use {{m|Thunderbolt}}, which causes the Gliscor balloon to explode and sending Team Rocket blasting off again. The group are relieved to have sent Team Rocket packing, and the sun then rises as if to agree with them. Ash and Gliscor watch the sunrise and give each other a smile, the rift between them healed and with a stronger bond than before.

Soon after, we find Ash, Dawn and Brock saying their goodbyes to Gary. The young researcher seems impressed with Ash, and Ash thanks Gary for the help he has given them, including giving him a Razor Fang. Suddenly, Dawn starts to recite a Pokémon poem thinking that, like his grandfather, Gary is a big fan and expert on them. Dawn seems proud but the rest of the group smile and sweatdrops. An instant later this is forgotten about, and Gary bids the group farewell, wishing everyone good luck in their goals. They then wave goodbye to him, before heading out on the road to their next adventure.

* This is the first time one of {{cat|Ash's Pokémon}} [[evolution|evolves]] using an [[item]].

===Errors===
* In [[Pokémon in Latin America|Latin American dub]], {{TR|Delibird}} is referred as "Mensajeave", a literal translation from its name.

==Blurb==

Ash's Mom and Professor Oak make a surprise visit to watch Ash battle in the Pokémon League Tournament. Professor Oak informs Ash that if he wins his next battle he'll be able to use six Pokémon in battle instead of three. He also tells Ash to remember that if he does his best but loses his matches, he's still a winner! On their way back from dinner, Ash meets another trainer who's also competing in the tournament and also has a Pikachu. Ash and Richie become fast friends especially when they have to fight the unrelenting Team Rocket that steals all of their Pokéballs, along with both of their Pikachu.

==Plot==
{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} are planning to have big meal to celebrate Ash's last victory, and they meet {{Delia}} and {{an|Professor Oak}} outside their cabin. Delia says that she's going to cook them Ash's favorite meal and takes them all to a restaurant, where she goes to the kitchen and makes the meal herself instead of the restaurant cooks, who merely look at her in confusion. As everyone settles down to eat, Professor Oak tells Ash that the battles after the fifth round are going to be [[Full Battle]]s and asks if he's already decided which Pokémon to use. Ash says that he'll wait to see who he's going to be battling first. After finishing their meal, they all head into the elevator, whereupon a boy named [[Ritchie]] asks them to hold it open. Professor Oak manages to keep the doors open long enough for him to enter. Ritchie sees {{AP|Pikachu}} and pets him on the head. Ash warns him that Pikachu might shock him, but to his surprise, Pikachu is enjoying the experience. Suddenly, the power goes out and the elevator stops. Ritchie tells them that he can get it running again and asks Ash if he can use Pikachu for his {{m|Thunder Shock}} attack. Ash agrees, and Ritchie opens the elevator's control box and has Pikachu use Thunder Shock on it. The lights in the elevator turn back on and the elevator begins to run again.

Later on, {{TRT}} decides to arrange a fake physical examination in order to steal some Pokémon. They cruise through the streets, using their vans loudspeaker to get everyone's attention. They claim that if {{pkmn|Trainer}}s do not comply with the examination, they will be disqualified from the [[Indigo League]]. Unfortunately, when [[Jessie]] attempts to stuff Pikachu into a sack, getting shocked in the process, [[James]] says Jessie's name, causing Ash and Ritchie to realize who they are. Team Rocket performs their {{motto}}, and use {{TP|James|Weezing}}'s {{m|Smog}} to escape with the looted [[Poké Ball]]s and Pikachu. Ash and Ritchie chase after them, cutting through the mountains to reach the escaping van. Eventually, James is forced to swerve off the road, and Team Rocket drives into a river. Ash and Ritchie chase after them as the van floats down stream.

When nighttime falls, Ritchie suggests they camp out and Ash concedes. Over a shared meal, the pair discover they are equally passionate about Pokémon and competitive. The next morning, Ash and Ritchie follow a set of tracks and discover the van along with a sleeping Team Rocket. They creep through the camp and into the van, where they find Pikachu and the stolen Poké Balls. However, Team Rocket wakes up, finds them, traps them in the van, and drives off. However, Ash and Ritchie decide to use the hundreds of Poké Balls in the van at their disposal. Ritchie immediately identifies his Pokémon due to star-shaped stickers, but Ash sends out a {{p|Drowzee}}, {{p|Slowbro}}, and even a {{p|Magikarp}} before Pikachu sniffs out {{AP|Bulbasaur}}'s Poké Ball. Bulbasaur uses {{m|Tackle}} and {{m|Razor Leaf}} on the van wall, but to no avail.

Ritchie sends out his {{p|Charmander}}, [[Zippo]], and orders it to {{m|slash}} open the van wall. The tactic is successful, and the wall breaks to reveal Team Rocket. Jessie sends out {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}}, but before Pikachu could use {{m|Thunderbolt}} on it, James swerves the van, causing Pikachu to lose balance and leaving it vulnerable to Arbok. Ritchie then sends out his own Pikachu, [[nickname]]d [[Sparky]]. Jessie orders an attack, while Sparky and Pikachu both counter with {{m|Agility}}. Arbok is overwhelmed, and both Pikachu Thunderbolt the van. The front portion explodes, blasting Team Rocket off, but the back of the van is still driving towards a cliff. {{AP|Pidgeotto}} and Ritchie's {{p|Butterfree}}, nicknamed Happy, use {{m|Whirlwind}} as parachutes, catching their respective Trainers, the Poké Balls, and Pikachu. They land safely as a group of SUVs, which turns out to be the Trainers, plus {{an|Brock}} and {{an|Misty}}, pull up to claim their Pokémon.

Ash and his friends return to the Indigo Plateau's registration center. The attendant instructs Ash to fish for a Magikarp to find out his next opponent, and he finds it is Ritchie.

==Trivia==
* [[Professor Oak's Pokémon Lecture]]: 
** Pokémon senryū summary: Various limited edition goods, souvenir salesman.
* This episode, as well as the next two episodes, each have the word "friend" in the title, referencing {{Ash}}'s ongoing friendship with [[Ritchie]].
* Ritchie mentions being able to identify his Poké Balls from the rest of the stolen ones because he placed Star Stickers on them. This can be considered an early precursor of the [[Seal]] concept before its introduction in [[Generation IV]].
* [[Ritchie]]'s Charmander is called Zippo, which may be a reference to the American refillable cigarette lighter brand, Zippo.
* An instrumental of ''[[Together Forever]]'' can be heard, as well as ''Tears, After the Cloudy Weather''.

===Errors===
* When it turns dark in the lift, Professor Oak's eyebrows turn gray. The same error happens again when they're outside the elevator.
* Though the power goes out while the characters are in the elevator, when they emerge into the lobby, all the lights are on. Although, everyone in the elevator assumes that the power went out, when it could have just been the elevator that had broken down. Either way, elevators are never set on the same power groups in buildings as the main rooms.
* When James commands Weezing to use Smog for the first time, his glove is missing.
* Through most of the Team Rocket motto and a little bit after, Jessie's eyes are different colors. This is most noticeable when she says "blast off at the speed of light."
* When Ash is chasing Team Rocket, he turns around after Ritchie calls after him and Ash's eyes are a lighter color than normal.
* After {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}} is shown dizzy, Ritchie's eyes are blue.
* When Team Rocket gets blasted off, Arbok disappears.
* Ash initially cannot find his Poké Balls, save for {{AP|Bulbasaur}}. However, after {{AP|Pikachu}} and [[Sparky]] defeat Team Rocket, he immediately calls on {{AP|Pidgeotto}}.

</gallery>

===Dub edits===
* [[Pikachu's Jukebox]]: [[My Best Friends]]
* Misty mentions the chef asking for Delia's croquette recipe in the dub, but in the original it's clear she cooked it herself and she marvels at the difference from normal restaurant food.
* In the dub, Ash recognizes the Rocket trio in their disguises by James calling Jessie by name. In the original, he doesn't call her by name and instead he's suspicious because he said "we got what we came for". Also, Ritchie recognizes Team Rocket in the dub but not the original.
* At the campfire, Ash expresses worry he won't ever see his Pokémon again in the dub but more specifically worries that they are starving in the original.
* Team Rocket performs a Pokémon-themed parody of the folk song [[wikipedia:99 Bottles of Beer|99 Bottles of Beer]] in the dub on two separate occasions. In the original, they sing a different song with indistinct lyrics.

== Signing ==
Please remember to always sign your comments. You can sign your comments with 4 tildes (~) or clicking the signature stamp ([[File:Signature button.png]]) on the top of the edit box. It should also be noted that once your comment has been marked as unsigned, you cannot replace it with your signature as it will give off the wrong time stamp. Thank you for taking your time to read this message, have a good day. {{unsigned|Force Fire}}
:Again, please sign your comments with four tildes or by clicking the signature button above the edit box. Thank you. {{unsigned|Force Fire}}

== Sources ==

Please provide a link or an image to your source, don't just say it. Show, don't tell.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 14:42, 26 August 2015 (UTC)

Not easy as the info came by PM from GummiYummy who is in email contact with her --[[User:BigDocFan|BigDocFan]] ([[User talk:BigDocFan|talk]]) 15:04, 26 August 2015 (UTC)
:Then ask him for photo evidence. Don't just believe everything he says.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 15:41, 26 August 2015 (UTC)

== Unsigned ==

Please don't re-sign and unsigned signature, it will give off the wrong timestamp. Manually typing in the correst timestamp won't do either. So if you're comment has been marked as unsigned, just leave it.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 16:25, 14 December 2015 (UTC)

Did you get permission from Force Fire to post it? [[User:Technickal|Technickal]] ([[User talk:Technickal|talk]]) 17:21, 26 December 2015 (UTC)

Not too sure there Technickal sir, sent him an email the other but unsure, do you have a user account on the forum, perhaps I can PM you it with the cast list--[[User:BigDocFan|BigDocFan]] ([[User talk:BigDocFan|talk]]) 19:59, 26 December 2015 (UTC)

Don't seem to have received any email from you but then again, i'm not sure how, I should explain I have aspergers syndrome so might not understand things as easily as you but sent you an email with 3 screenshots of the email I got from Theresa, the first having her email address visible--[[User:BigDocFan|BigDocFan]] ([[User talk:BigDocFan|talk]]) 11:28, 27 December 2015 (UTC)

== VA sources ==

Once more, if you are adding English voice actors, you must attest a source, ''always''. Please try not to forget. Thank you. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 15:14, 2 June 2016 (UTC)

== English actor suggestion ==

If you find the English actor of Sliggoo and Heliolisk, let me know which website to go.--[[User:CoolPokeGuy|CoolPokéGuy]] ([[User talk:CoolPokeGuy|Talk]]) 17:32, 16 August 2016 (UTC)

==Userspace limits==
Hello. I have noticed that you have been editing the <code>User:</code> namespace a lot recently, and have made a total of 4+ userspace edits today. Please do not edit the userspace any more, as the {{bp|userspace policy}} limits the amount you can edit your userpage: No more than three edits per day (by {{wp|UTC}}), and you must contribute to the {{bp|mainspace}} more than you edit your user page(s). This policy was instated to promote people helping out in the mainspace, and also to control strain on our servers. Bulbapedia is an encyclopedia, after all, so help us out by contributing to some articles before coming back to your personal page(s). The more often you edit in the mainspace, the more you will be allowed to edit your user page(s). Thank you. --[[User:Berrenta|Berrenta]] ([[User talk:Berrenta|talk]]) 20:14, 20 August 2016 (UTC)

== Succeed ==

Thanks for finding the English actor for Sliggoo and Goodra. I knew it was Tom Wayland, but nobody didn't believe. And I was having trouble finding a source and contacting him.--[[User:CoolPokeGuy|CoolPokéGuy]] ([[User talk:CoolPokeGuy|Talk]]) 12:56, 11 September 2016 (UTC)
:You're welcome, I had a feeling it was Tom Wayland as well but thought I would wait until Goodra's return before enquiring with Lisa Ortiz--[[User:BigDocFan|BigDocFan]] ([[User talk:BigDocFan|talk]]) 13:06, 11 September 2016 (UTC)

== Subpages ==

Hello! I noticed you have a list of voice actors in your user page, and while this is not at all a problem, I thought I'd inform you that you can create subpages of your user page for things like this--e.g., [[User:BigDocFan/List of VAs]] would be a good place to put a list of voice actors, if you'd prefer not to clutter up your userpage. User subpages, if intended to be put in the mainspace, are also ''candidates'' for exemption from the userspace edit limit (though they are only candidates, and you have to get permission from an editorial board member, I believe, for exemption). Just thought I'd let you know in case you didn't! --[[User:Xolroc|Felthry]] (F.K.A. Xolroc) ([[User talk:Xolroc|talk]]) 18:34, 18 January 2017 (UTC)
:I didn't know how to create subpages, thank you so much, I would hate to get in trouble with admin--[[User:BigDocFan|BigDocFan]] ([[User talk:BigDocFan|talk]]) 18:35, 18 January 2017 (UTC)
::Hey, that's fine. You're not in any trouble now--just remember those subpages count towards your three-edit limit too unless you talk to an editorial board member and get an exemption! --[[User:Xolroc|Felthry]] (F.K.A. Xolroc) ([[User talk:Xolroc|talk]]) 18:54, 18 January 2017 (UTC)

== Link templates ==

I've seen you using link templates before, so I think you already know what they are. I just wanted to remind you to make use of them when appropriate (<code><nowiki>{{p|Dragonite}}</nowiki></code> instead of <code><nowiki>[[Dragonite]]</nowiki></code>), and to let you know about templates that you might not be aware of: {{template|Ash}} for linking directly to [[Ash Ketchum]], {{template|MTR}} for linking directly to [[Meowth (Team Rocket)]] (no TR template needed!), and {{template|an}} for linking to character pages with the (anime) suffix. Thanks!--[[User:Cold|Cold]] ([[User talk:Cold|talk]]) 15:45, 3 March 2017 (UTC)
:Guess there are some areas that I am still learning.--[[User:BigDocFan|BigDocFan]] ([[User talk:BigDocFan|talk]]) 17:02, 3 March 2017 (UTC)
::Attention. This a [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Kiawe%27s_Turtonator&action=historysubmit&type=revision&diff=2661584&oldid=2660562 another reminder] to use link templates when appropriate. [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] ([[User talk:Ataro|talk]]) 21:53, 30 June 2017 (UTC)

== Re:Cleanup ==

For example, you don't use commas when they would be needed, you tend to make quite a lot of grammatical errors, and overall, the synopsis you write tend to be in pretty rough English. You should ALWAYS use the preview button to make sure you don't do any mistakes you could avoid. For example, earlier today you wrote that Gladion kept his Umbreon inside an Ultra Ball, even thought its ''Lycanroc'' seen coming out of the ball. Also, your edit at {{m|Continental Crush}} felt rushed and incomplete. Don't start making edits you know you can't do properly or fully. PS. I may be rambling a bit here, the quality of your edits has just gotten on my nerves multiple times. But I guess you're still just learning. Let's hope you'll get better as time goes on. Hopefully... --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 13:15, 18 May 2017 (UTC)
:I do apologize about my not so good edits, when it comes to new episodes, I start from looking at pics posted on Serebii which don't always tell a clear story, doesn't help that I have aspergers when it comes to grammar--[[User:BigDocFan|BigDocFan]] ([[User talk:BigDocFan|talk]]) 13:17, 18 May 2017 (UTC)
::I'm an Asperger too, but I've learned to do my edits more carefully and properly. I once did so many edits to same pages in a short time that I was on a forced preview for several years. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 14:18, 18 May 2017 (UTC)

== Characters ==

Please don't create pages of characters that have not debuted yet, even if you aren't around to create them. That is not a good enough reason. [[User:Playerking95|Playerking95]] ([[User talk:Playerking95|talk]]) 08:03, 25 May 2017 (UTC)

== Notability requirements ==

Please familiarize yourself with the [[Bulbapedia:Manual of style/Anime#Notability requirements|notability requirements]]. A Pokémon needs to do more than just appear twice to be noted, it must have some sort of impact on the plot. The Garden Pokémon had no impact on the plot, they just appeared. Thank you.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 00:07, 17 June 2017 (UTC)

== Who voiced Chesnaught in M19? ==

Hi BigDoc, I was making a list of characters/actors for [[M19]] and I noticed that you put both [[Suzy Myers]] and [[Billy Bob Thompson]] as {{p|Chesnaught}}. Did they both voice Chesnaught, or was this a mistake?
:Probably a mistake but strangely the cast list for Suzy Myers and Billy Bob Thompson both have Chesnaught, I'm '''''guessing''''' Suzy Myers as she voices Chespin.--[[User:BigDocFan|BigDocFan]] ([[User talk:BigDocFan|talk]]) 20:42, 18 July 2017 (UTC)

== Episode airing times ==

I noticed that you unmasked the major events that happened in SM035 before the episode finished airing. As a general rules, things that happen during the initial airings don't get changed until after the whole episode has finished. [[User:Playerking95|Playerking95]] ([[User talk:Playerking95|talk]]) 16:49, 27 July 2017 (UTC)
:I apologize, having watched an episode air live on youtube I didn't realize so jumped the gun.--[[User:BigDocFan|BigDocFan]] ([[User talk:BigDocFan|talk]]) 16:51, 27 July 2017 (UTC)

== Stolen content ==

You have previously been warned on the Bulbagarden Archives about stealing images from other fan sites, but do note that Bulbapedia does '''not''' tolerate the stealing of content from other fan sites in '''any form''', including but '''not limited to''' images and plot summaries. Copying information from other fan sites is called {{wp|plagiarism}}. Taking another fan site's plot summary is considered plagiarism. Taking another fan site's plot summary and switching up a few words here and there is ''still'' considered plagiarism. If you want to write up a plot summary, it must be done from scratch and in your own words. Just like we don't want other fan sites to steal our content, we don't want our users to be stealing other fan sites' content. Please be aware and respectful of our policies so that a similar case does not arise. Thank you. --[[User:Carmenstar97|Carmen★]] ''[[User talk:Carmenstar97|(Talk |]] [[Special:Contributions/Carmenstar97|contribs)]]'' 16:12, 8 August 2017 (UTC)

== Please ==
Could you please refrain from making edits that relate to an episode before it finishes. [[User:Playerking95|Playerking95]] ([[User talk:Playerking95|talk]]) 10:34, 10 August 2017 (UTC)
:Need to try and contain my excitement, able to watch episodes as they air live on youtube and am keen to contribute more, I'll be more careful in future.--[[User:BigDocFan|BigDocFan]] ([[User talk:BigDocFan|talk]]) 16:28, 10 August 2017 (UTC)
::That's alright, I did something similarly with SM033, where I forgot about the rule. I was so happy that Lana's Popplio finally got a new move. I guess quite a few of us need to contain our excitement. Also, when you add moves in the future, could you also add the description, otherwise it seems kind of lacklustre, you know what I mean? [[User:Playerking95|Playerking95]] ([[User talk:Playerking95|talk]]) 16:35, 10 August 2017 (UTC)
:::Think I leave the new moves to the experts, providing descriptions without directly copying and pasting from others isn't easy.--[[User:BigDocFan|BigDocFan]] ([[User talk:BigDocFan|talk]]) 16:39, 10 August 2017 (UTC)

== Hey ==

We also don't create character pages in advance for characters of the day, even if it's on a user page. Just create it after SM040 airs. [[User:Playerking95|Playerking95]] ([[User talk:Playerking95|talk]]) 15:18, 23 August 2017 (UTC)
:My bad, might as well keep for now and move it when it does air now I've created it.--[[User:BigDocFan|BigDocFan]] ([[User talk:BigDocFan|talk]]) 15:19, 23 August 2017 (UTC)
::User pages are usually create by people who wish for them to be main spaced or who think they are important enough to get a page under a user, so creating one for a character who we know nothing about or if the character will appear again is kind of weird. Do you get what I mean? [[User:Playerking95|Playerking95]] ([[User talk:Playerking95|talk]]) 15:24, 23 August 2017 (UTC)
:::I do so will remember for future reference--[[User:BigDocFan|BigDocFan]] ([[User talk:BigDocFan|talk]]) 15:25, 23 August 2017 (UTC)

== Character pages ==

Hey. Please don't create pages for anime characters unless you have some info to add. [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Dana_(SM041) This] is really too barebones. Redlinks aren't necessarily a bad thing. It's better to have a redlink than a page that contains almost nothing. ☼ Blazing[[User talk:Blazingfist|Fist ☼]] 12:50, 8 September 2017 (UTC)

== Episode Plots ==

The plot you wrote are awesome. Sometimes however, the sentence you wrote are too long and difficult to read. Just like when you read, too long of a sentence takes the breath out of you. "When", "As", "Because" are some phrases you often use to join these sentences but making them too long. If I make sense. XD

An example would be "Inside the school grounds, Ash asks Rotom what kind of Pokémon live on Akala Island but as Rotom does a search, he is hit by a Tauros which sends him flying as Charizard lands in front of Tauros to stop him as its trainer and Kiawe arrive with Kiawe telling Charizard to keep holding on as his classmates look on as Ash lands on the ground."

You can instead write it as "Inside the school grounds, Ash asks Rotom what kind of Pokémon live on Akala Island (period) As Rotom does a search, he is hit by a Tauros which sends him flying (period) As Charizard lands in front of Tauros to stop him, its Trainer and Kiawe arrive (period) Kiawe tells Charizard to keep holding on as his classmates look on as Ash lands on the ground (period)"

This is so much more comfortable to read. Haha, you can what I mean? — '''[[User:Ruixiang95|Ruixiang]][[User talk:Ruixiang95|95]]''' 11:29, 19 September 2017 (UTC)
:And here was me worrying that the sentences I was right were too short. Noted for future reference.--[[User:BigDocFan|BigDocFan]] ([[User talk:BigDocFan|talk]]) 14:19, 19 September 2017 (UTC)
:Agreed. The sentences are overly long and can benefit from being split off into multiple sentences. Also, I think I might've seen some grammatical errors along the way, but I cannot recall any specific examples. Whatever the case, I gave up trying to improve the plot of [[SM030]] and tagged it, along with other episodes' plot sections you had a significant amount of contributions to, with a cleanup template. Hopefully you and/or other users can resume where I left off. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 03:49, 20 September 2017 (UTC)

== A Theory on Clemont's Heliolisk's voice ==

Hey BigDoc, I have something I want to share with you, and It's about Clemont's Heliolisk. We now it was voiced by Ryan William Downey, but I think it previous might have been voiced by Tom Wayland. On your page for him, it mentions Ryan joined the series during season 18, which makes sense as all his characters appeared in season 18 or after that, EXCEPT Clemont's Heliolisk (who first appeared in season 17). And if it was someone else, there would be no reason to recast them (the only other actor who left in season 18 was [[Jennifer Forziati-DaCosta]]). [[User:Super10ZX|Super10ZX]] ([[User talk:Super10ZX|talk]]) 17:26, 7 October 2017 (UTC)
:As far as I can tell, [[S18]] was Downey's debut unless I'm mistaken, Tom Wayland could have voiced Heliolisk before he was sacked but sadly this can't be confirmed.--[[User:BigDocFan|BigDocFan]] ([[User talk:BigDocFan|talk]]) 22:43, 6 November 2017 (UTC)

== Preview button ==

Please make sure to use the preview button, even when adding multiple images to a section. I'm sure you're excited to back on the wiki again, but [[Special:Diff/2718873/2719669|this]] shouldn't take 10 edits. --[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 11:37, 4 January 2018 (UTC)
:I can only apologize Sir, as you say I'm excited to be back on Bulbapedia, I do hope the images are satisfactory.--[[User:BigDocFan|BigDocFan]] ([[User talk:BigDocFan|talk]]) 11:39, 4 January 2018 (UTC)
:''Please'' use that preview button. I had to resize and re-position the new photos you added to the articles of Ash's traveling companions to make sure they don't interfere with other photos. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 23:22, 5 January 2018 (UTC)

Again. Use the preview button. If you're going over a large page or planning to touch multiple sections, use "edit this page" and do everything together. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 14:24, 8 April 2018 (UTC)

== Your new page ==

Hey BigDoc. So I see you are making your own Voice Actor predictions page. I'm perfectly okay with this, it will be nice to see another persons predictions! It wasn't even my original idea in the first place, it was based off pages other people made, but haven't changed in a long time. [[User:Super10ZX|Super10ZX]] ([[User talk:Super10ZX|talk]]) 16:16, 9 January 2018 (UTC)

== Pre-airing edits ==

Hi. I want to let you know, I've been asking people not to hide information about an episode on any page except the episode page before it airs. So that means refraining from [[Special:Diff/2769612|your edit here]] adding hidden templates for Nanu's Pokemon that were expected for SM073/74. That hidden info has just now resulted in a minor edit war, and that's a pattern that has happened several times previously as well. As far as I'm concerned, that all adds up to more of a hassle than it's otherwise worth. It'll be much cleaner if people just add the info fully and with much less room for argument once the episode airs.

So, please confine pre-airing edits of hidden information to an episode's page. Thank you. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 15:44, 26 April 2018 (UTC)
:I understand and started removing some of the edits but have made a copy of them to be posted when the episode airs.--[[User:BigDocFan|BigDocFan]] ([[User talk:BigDocFan|talk]]) 15:45, 26 April 2018 (UTC)
::I just noticed a bit of that. I appreciate it, thanks. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 15:49, 26 April 2018 (UTC)
:::You're welcome, I enjoy contributing to Bulbapedia and would hate to be removed from it so I prefer to work with admin to avoid any conflict and accept anything wrong that I did.--[[User:BigDocFan|BigDocFan]] ([[User talk:BigDocFan|talk]]) 15:51, 26 April 2018 (UTC)

== Where's the source? ==
Where's the source for the latest titles? [[User:Playerking95|Playerking95]] ([[User talk:Playerking95|talk]])
:No idea, saw the titles added to other pages so just copied them over. Just checked the forums, Apple TV Show/Episode Universal Search--[[User:BigDocFan|BigDocFan]] ([[User talk:BigDocFan|talk]]) 11:41, 29 April 2018 (UTC)

== Episode titles ==

A little heads-up, please remember to italicize episode titles and provide links to the articles. You seemed to know what you were doing before so I don't know why I had to apply those corrections this time. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 20:26, 18 May 2018 (UTC)
:My bad, thought as they were listed above, I didn't have to--[[User:BigDocFan|BigDocFan]] ([[User talk:BigDocFan|talk]]) 20:28, 18 May 2018 (UTC)
::It seems to be a given given all the other articles I've seen and read. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 20:29, 18 May 2018 (UTC)

== Main anime images ==

If you are going to replace an anime image on a species article, please replace it with an image that shows the Pokémon's full body and the Pokémon being the focus of the image. An image of the Pokémon in a distance is not going to cut it. Thank you.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 15:25, 9 June 2018 (UTC)
:Again, the main images '''must''' be a '''full body''' shot, not just a shot of its head or whatnot. Full body, and center of the image. Also, you don't need to literally update the images to the most recent appearance, which is what I feel you are doing. Unless there's a centered, full body shot in a recent episode, it does not need to be updated.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 05:35, 18 June 2018 (UTC)

== SM081 ==
Where are the Chansey and Raichu in SM081? [[User:Playerking95|Playerking95]] ([[User talk:Playerking95|talk]]) 11:43, 5 July 2018 (UTC)
:radek.tadajewski.7 from the forums spotted them in the crowd and asked me to add them.--[[User:BigDocFan|BigDocFan]] ([[User talk:BigDocFan|talk]]) 11:46, 5 July 2018 (UTC)
::I've looked through every crowd shot and I can only see a Blissey and no Chansey or Raichu. Could the user provide an image? [[User:Playerking95|Playerking95]] ([[User talk:Playerking95|talk]]) 11:53, 5 July 2018 (UTC)

== Voice actor articles ==

Next time you decide to create a VA article or move a userspace page about a VA, you need to use [[Bulbapedia:Project VA|this]] as a template. Keep this in mind for next time. Thank you. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 19:41, 13 August 2018 (UTC)

:Please do not disregard this next time you choose to create a new VA article. It's highly important that every VA article follows this basic format. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 06:20, 18 August 2018 (UTC)
::I didn't, I checked through it and it all looked fine to me, but then again, I'm no expert.--[[User:BigDocFan|BigDocFan]] ([[User talk:BigDocFan|talk]]) 07:28, 18 August 2018 (UTC)
:::I told you before, please don't forget [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Jonathan_Silver&type=revision&diff=2856383&oldid=2856375 this] whenever you're creating a VA article. Slow it down a little. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 08:44, 4 October 2018 (UTC)
::::Drat, was using [[Eddy Lee]]'s page to layout the page but forgot to add the bottom bit, my bad.--[[User:BigDocFan|BigDocFan]] ([[User talk:BigDocFan|talk]]) 08:48, 4 October 2018 (UTC)

== Kenyu Horiuchi ==

Could you undo your latest edit to that page. As I said in another edit summary, the official source only mentions Samson. Here: http://www.tv-tokyo.co.jp/anime/pokemon_sunmoon/news/ [[User:Playerking95|Playerking95]] ([[User talk:Playerking95|talk]]) 14:29, 5 September 2018 (UTC)

== Permission to mainspace ==

GrammarFreak is '''not''' a staff member, you shouldn't be asking him if a userpage can be mainspaced. You should be asking anyone on the {{bp|Staff}} list, preferably the head of anime {{u|abcboy}}. Thank you.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 12:21, 16 September 2018 (UTC)
:My bad, he has been a help with previous pages so was asking for his help to get it ready.--[[User:BigDocFan|BigDocFan]] ([[User talk:BigDocFan|talk]]) 12:24, 16 September 2018 (UTC)

== VA articles ==

Could you hold back on creating anymore VA articles, or at least make them in your userspace instead? Most of your recent articles are of questionable notability. [[Kenta Kamakari]] may have voiced a recurring character for more than one episode, but really, DJ Leo is only important to one of those episodes he appeared in, so in essence he only "appeared" (read: did something of note) once. Thank you.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 15:06, 18 September 2018 (UTC)
:Will do--[[User:BigDocFan|BigDocFan]] ([[User talk:BigDocFan|talk]]) 15:51, 18 September 2018 (UTC)

== Ryota Iwasaki ==

Ryota Iwasaki is definitely not going to cut it as a notable VA to make an article on. Of all the characters he voices, [[Mr. Elec]] is the most notable but he only appeared in one episode. I highly recommend going to [[Bulbapedia:Project VA]] for further reference. Keep the userspace article, though; Mr. Elec might reappear in the future. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 03:30, 20 September 2018 (UTC)

==Mystical/TvRage==

As a reply, I am not TvRage, or whoever that is. Just to clarify. (I'm surprised my username wasn't claimed by now.)

== Sharpedo ==

I noticed you're the one who uploaded the "Sharpedo in the anime" image. It is a small detail, but you chose one where its design was wrongly drawn (see the pectoral fin? It's in a dark cyanish color, it should be white). Could you, please, find an appropriate image? [[User:ExLight|ExLight]] ([[User talk:ExLight|talk]]) 02:21, 27 September 2018 (UTC)
:EDIT: Nevermind, it was actually Playerking95. If you have a better image it would be great tho. [[User:ExLight|ExLight]] ([[User talk:ExLight|talk]]) 16:52, 30 September 2018 (UTC)
::Easy mistake, I uploaded the image for one of my pages, Playerking95 obviously liked it and used it for the page.--[[User:BigDocFan|BigDocFan]] ([[User talk:BigDocFan|talk]]) 16:54, 30 September 2018 (UTC)

== Using MAL filmographies ==

I understand you're making sure the filmographies don't look like the ones from MyAnimeList before your userspace VA articles are mainspaced. But I still suggest not completely using filmographies from MyAnimeList, for that could still constitute a copyright violation. Be more selective, if needs be. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 18:43, 28 October 2018 (UTC)
:Understood, guess imdb can be used as well.--[[User:BigDocFan|BigDocFan]] ([[User talk:BigDocFan|talk]]) 18:56, 28 October 2018 (UTC)
::Of course. But I will warn that IMDb can be easily edited by anyone, so some of the filmographies might not be too accurate. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 18:57, 28 October 2018 (UTC)
:::Decided to delete most of the credits, last thing I want is compromising myself and Bulbapedia on copyright grounds. Do the credits listed look OK as they are?--[[User:BigDocFan|BigDocFan]] ([[User talk:BigDocFan|talk]]) 19:55, 28 October 2018 (UTC)
::::Yeah, that looks good. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 20:11, 28 October 2018 (UTC)
:::::Thanks, hopefully Martha Harms will be worthy of mainspacing when she gets more confirmed roles. I suspect that among them are Officer Jenny which at present is to be confirmed.--[[User:BigDocFan|BigDocFan]] ([[User talk:BigDocFan|talk]]) 20:25, 28 October 2018 (UTC)

== Images ==

Are you still planning on uploading anime evolution images? [[User:Seabiscuit2020|Seabiscuit2020]] ([[User talk:Seabiscuit2020|talk]]) 02:34, 04 November 2018 (UTC)
:No, I received a message from Chosen saying ''The images you've been uploading for use in your User: space conflict with [[Archives:FAQ#Can I have personal images?|our policy against personal images]]. Please ensure that your uploads are content that are relevant to the mainspace.'' Probably best I avoid doing this with evolution images--[[User:BigDocFan|BigDocFan]] ([[User talk:BigDocFan|talk]]) 08:03, 4 November 2018 (UTC)

== Archives talk page ==

Why haven't you replied to the messages I've left on your Bulbagarden Archives talk page? Also, something about the way you name your pictures: please try not to use big capital letters when it's not necessary. Thank you. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 14:57, 6 November 2018 (UTC)

== Editing/Helping ==

Hey! I see that you are constantly editing and improving some of my userpages that I hope get good enough to be mainspaced one day. So thank you for all your help, thanks for helping improve those articles. ([[User:Riox-Ibui|'''Riox''']][[User talk:Riox-Ibui|'''イブイ''']] 23:59, 8 November 2018 (UTC))

== Braviary/Spearow ==
Could you possibly get an image of the Braviary that were shown in a flashback being released back into the wild to replace the one for the Braviary that are in the "Previously resided in" section, because the one that's shown is the one that's currently there. [[User:Playerking95|Playerking95]] ([[User talk:Playerking95|talk]]) 14:59, 11 November 2018 (UTC)

If a sub says it's something else, please listen to see if it what they say it is. In this case, they made a mistake. It is not Fake Out. No where was "neko" said during the attack command, but "shiuchi" was. If you mess up like this, it hinders the site by displaying wrong information.

Flower Paradise

The '''Flower Paradise''' (Japanese: '''はなのらくえん''' ''Flower Paradise'') is an area in [[Sinnoh]] north of {{rt|224|Sinnoh}} where the [[Mythical Pokémon]] {{p|Shaymin}} resides.

==Event==
[[File:Flower Paradise Shaymin DP.png|thumb|left|250px|Flower Paradise with {{p|Shaymin}} in {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}]]
As an [[event]]-only area, the Flower Paradise will only appear if the {{player}} has received [[Oak's Letter]]. After speaking with [[Professor Oak]] on Route 224 and inscribing onto the white rock what the player is most thankful for, the [[Seabreak Path]] will appear, and the barren area around the rock will become covered in flowers. A Shaymin (in its [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Shaymin|Land Forme]]) will appear from the north, surprising both the player and Professor Oak, and will then venture back. When the player follows it to Flower Paradise, it can be battled, and will be at [[level]] 30.

Through exploitation of the [[Surf glitch]] and [[tweaking]], players can visit this area without Oak's Letter in {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}, allowing them to encounter Shaymin without having to attend any event. Both glitches have been addressed in {{v2|Platinum}}, and Shaymin itself will not appear without the player having Oak's Letter.

==Geography==
After going through [[Seabreak Path]], the longest route in the Pokémon world, Flower Paradise can be finally found at the end of the long path. Flower Paradise is a huge meadow covered in flowers of various colors. By going up a small hill to the top, {{p|Shaymin}} can be found. It is the only Pokémon to inhabit the area.

==Trivia==
* Flower Paradise is the northeastern-most location in [[Sinnoh]] and is tied with [[Snowpoint City]] for the northernmost known location in the [[Pokémon world]].
** However, Snowpoint City hosts the northernmost point of access in the Pokémon world, as the entrance of the [[Snowpoint Temple]] in Snowpoint City is very slightly north of the northernmost accessible point in the Flower Paradise.

==Blurb==

Dawn plans to use some new Pokémon Ping-Pong tricks in the Sandalstraw Contest, where she hopes to earn her fifth ribbon. Of course, her friend Kenny wants to win and tie Dawn at four ribbons each! As Dawn and Ambipom practice for the Contest, Dawn's Mamoswine sits on the sidelines and pretends to be bored—but it can't resist interfering with the practice session. Dawn's not upset; she knows Mamoswine just wants to be in the Contest. But this Contest is Ambipom's time to shine. As the appeals round begins, Jessie (disguised as "Jessilina") shows off Mime Jr.'s Teeter Dance, and Kenny has his Machoke work its muscles. Then Dawn's Ambipom uses its double tails to execute ping-pong moves, earning Dawn a place in the second round with Jessie and Kenny.

As Dawn waits for the second round to start, Kenny comes over to continue their friendly rivalry. He wants to battle Dawn in the final round, and neither Coordinator plans to lose this one! Sure enough, Dawn and Ambipom manage to defeat Jessie and Seviper in the semifinal battle, which means Kenny is Dawn's final opponent. Over in the spectator seats, Ash's rival Barry is excited to see his first Contest, and Mamoswine is glued to the action too—but it still pretends it's too cool to care!

The final round match pits Dawn's Ambipom against Kenny's Prinplup. When Prinplup fires off a Bubble Beam attack, Ambipom uses Focus Punch to hit the Bubble Beam right back. Kenny knew Dawn planned something like this, so he orders Prinplup to return the volley using Metal Claw. The two Pokémon hit the bubbles back and forth, just like Pokémon Ping-Pong! It's a well-played battle, but Prinplup goes on the offensive and uses Drill Peck to knock out Ambipom. Now Kenny can get his fourth ribbon, and Barry gets an idea: why doesn't Dawn enter the upcoming Pokémon Ping-Pong Tournament? Ambipom likes the idea, so it's settled: the tournament will be their next event!

==Plot==
{{Ash}}, {{AP|Pikachu}}, {{an|Barry}}, his {{TP|Barry|Empoleon}}, and [[Dawn's Ambipom]] are exercising and practicing for the upcoming [[Pokémon Ping Pong Tournament]] while {{an|Brock}}, {{an|Dawn}}, and {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} watch. {{si|Kenny}} comes up to them and tells Dawn that she should be focusing on the [[Sandalstraw Town]] [[Pokémon Contest]] for her fifth [[Ribbon]]. She tells him that she was just putting the finishing touches on their moves and says that she's entering Ambipom for both rounds which surprises Kenny. Dawn explains to Kenny that she thought Ambipom would be a good choice as she has experience in both [[Appeal|performances]] and [[Contest Battle]]s. She also mentions that she got Ambipom in a [[trade]] with Ash and that she wants to win for him as well. [[Jessie]] (or rather Jessilina) is also entering the Sandalstraw Contest to try to win her third Ribbon, and has decided to take a cue from [[Ursula]] and the way she used her Pokémon's ability to store energy during the {{to|Chocovine}} Contest. [[James]] agrees to let her use his {{TP|James|Mime Jr.}} for the appeals.

Dawn starts some last-minute practice with Kenny while Ash and Pikachu practice Pokémon Ping Pong with Barry and Empoleon. {{TP|Dawn|Mamoswine}} shows some interest, despite trying to hide it from Dawn. After the practice begins, an {{m|Ice Shard}} is launched at them which Ambipom smashes with {{m|Double Hit}}. Dawn asks Mamoswine if it was responsible for that Ice Shard and asks if Mamoswine wants to compete in the Pokémon Contest too, but Mamoswine attempts to go back to sleep. Dawn and Ambipom get back to practicing and Mamoswine sends another Ice Shard their way. Dawn says she's sure Mamoswine wants to compete but Mamoswine still refuses to show real interest which makes Piplup angry. Dawn isn't fazed, positive that someday Mamoswine will compete in a Pokémon Contest. Brock thinks that Mamoswine wants some attention and reminds Ash of how Ambipom used to act while she was still an Aipom. Ash has very fond memories of the times they shared and wishes Ambipom the best of luck in the Contest.

The Sandalstraw Contest is soon underway and [[Marian]] welcomes the {{pkmn|Coordinator}}s and the audience while Ash, Brock, Barry, Pikachu, Piplup, {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}}, {{TP|Dawn|Pachirisu}}, and Mamoswine watch and cheer Dawn on. Barry says that he's never been to a real Pokémon Contest before as Marian introduces the [[Contest Judge|panel of judges]], formed by [[Raoul Contesta|Mr. Contesta]] from the [[Pokémon Activities Committee]], [[Mr. Sukizo]] from the [[Pokémon Fan Club]], and the [[Nurse Joy]] from the local [[Pokémon Center]].

Jessie disguised as Jessilina is the first entrant and calls Mime Jr. for the [[Appeal|Performance Stage]]. James, {{MTR}}, and {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} cheer her on from the top of the stands in disguises. Jessie tells Mime Jr. to use {{m|Teeter Dance}}, and Mime Jr. sits on the floor in seemingly meditation which confuses the Contest Judges and the audience. However Mime Jr. soon unleashes its stored energy and uses Teeter Dance while on its head. Everyone in the stadium, including Ash, {{ashfr}}, the Pokémon, the audience, Marian and even the judges, is affected by the Teeter Dance and begin dancing. Dawn and Kenny, who aren't affected by Teeter Dance as they're watching from the waiting area backstage, comment on Jessilina's change of style. The judges love Mime Jr.'s presentation and it appears Jessilina is going to move on to the second round.

Soon it's Kenny's turn, and he calls out his {{p|Machoke}} and tells it to use {{m|Focus Energy}}. This helps Machoke to show off its muscles. An enormous {{wp|barbell}} weighing three times Machoke's body weight is lowered onto the stage. Machoke uses {{m|Strength}} to lift it with one arm and switches to the other. Barry watched the appeal amazed and decides that he wants to eventually catch a Machoke. Brock comments on how Contest moves are usually graceful and beautiful so it was a smart move for Kenny to show off how strong Machoke is. Dawn admires from the back room while Jessie is indifferent as always. Kenny jumps up and handstands on top of the barbell Machoke is holding ending their presentation. The judges love it.

It's Dawn's turn next, and Kenny tells Dawn that she better get through to the battle as he wants the chance to defeat her this time. Not only would it make up for his loss to her in the {{to|Floaroma}} {{pkmn|Contest}}, but he also reveals that he saw Dawn compete in the [[Wallace Cup]] and he wants to be able to defeat the person who won it. Dawn promises her friend and rival that she'll do her best.

Dawn is next and calls out Ambipom with a [[Seal|Song Seal]] and orders for {{m|Double Team}} and {{m|Focus Punch}}. Ambipom Double Teams into a circle, uses Focus Punch on the {{wp|musical note}}s, dances in midair and covers the stage with sparkles. Brock comments on how Ambipom and Dawn are totally in sync, and Mamoswine opens its eyes to watch. Kenny cheers Dawn on from the back room. Then Ambipom uses {{m|Swift}}, hits the stars with her tail as a ping pong move, and spins around in midair swirling the stars around herself. Ambipom uses {{m|Double Hit}} and the stars break into sparkles. Marian and the judges love her performance and Mamoswine is impressed. Ash and friends notice Mamoswine watching and ask Mamoswine's opinion of Dawn's performance but goes back to napping.

Dawn joins Ash and his friends in the stands and is extremely nervous about making it to the Battle Stage. Dawn tells them that Kenny said he's very determined to win the Contest and Ash encourages her. Jessie, Kenny, and Dawn advance to the second round. Mamoswine shows some interest, Brock advises her to stay calm and Kenny and Dawn exchange friendly rivalry. Meowth and James praise Jessie and Mime Jr. Jessie will be using her Seviper for the battles.

Jessie, Dawn and Kenny defeat their first matched Coordinator. Jessie and Dawn battle in the semifinals and Dawn defeats her easily. James and Meowth are afraid of what will happen to them because Jessie lost.

Dawn and Kenny make it to the finals. Dawn uses Ambipom while Kenny uses his Prinplup. Mamoswine is wide awake and watching. Kenny begins with a {{m|Drill Peck}} and Dawn counters with Swift. Ambipom uses Double Team and Prinplup uses {{m|Bubble Beam}}. Ambipom hits the Bubble Beam back with a Focus Punch. Prinplup uses {{m|Metal Claw}} to hit them back again turning the Contest into a ping pong match. Marian says this ping pong exchange during a [[Contest Battle]] is a first. Prinplup uses Bubble Beam again right after a Metal Claw and Ambipom uses Double Hit to pop the bubbles. Prinplup uses Drill Peck, Ambipom uses Focus Punch and the two collide in midair. Prinplup uses Metal Claw while nosediving and spinning. Ambipom goes for a direct attack and tries to use Double Hit but it fails, leaving Ambipom wide-open to attack. Kenny has Prinplup use Drill Peck, and Prinplup lands a direct-hit which knocks out Ambipom, causing Dawn to be instantly eliminated and giving Kenny the win and the contest. Dawn praises Ambipom and Ash and co. are saddened. Jessie says that she needs another Pokémon to partner with for the next Contest and Meowth swears that he will win the next Contest. Raoul Contesta praises Kenny and hands him the Sandalstraw Contest Ribbon. Kenny says the Ribbon belongs to his Prinplup and Machoke. Dawn thinks she was hung up on getting her fifth Ribbon, and Brock says she should be proud for how well she performed in this Contest.

Kenny leaves to {{pkmn|training|train}} and {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} more {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Both Dawn and Kenny promise that they will defeat the other the next time they meet. Barry suggests that Dawn should participate in the upcoming [[Pokémon Ping Pong Tournament]] because of how well Ambipom did during the ping pong exchange. Dawn asks Ambipom if she wants to enter, and Ambipom happily agrees. And so, with the excitement of the Sandalstraw Contest over, the gang look forward to their next challenge in the Pokémon Ping Pong Tournament.

== Continued from my questions ==
Sorrry, I couldn't find the archived talk where I originally posted this. Anyway, why can't the Generation VI sprites just be treated like 120 by 120 still images? [[User:Sumwun|sumwun]] ([[User talk:Sumwun|talk]]) 18:43, 14 August 2016 (UTC)
:The archive is [[User talk:SnorlaxMonster/Archive/8|here]]. You can find it by mousing over "Pokémon" in the template at the top of the page (maybe I should make that clearer).
:Anyway, there are no sprites in Gen VI, only models. Models just don't work the same way, so we decided to use artwork instead. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 00:35, 15 August 2016 (UTC)

== Anime ordering ==

Hi, I saw [[User:SnorlaxMonster/Anime ordering]] and I would suggest that you check out this (not made by me): https://github.com/mal/pokemon/blob/gh-pages/data/anime.md --[[User:PannenkoekenNL|PannenkoekenNL]] ([[User talk:PannenkoekenNL|talk]]) 13:57, 17 August 2016 (UTC)
:We already have the air dates on Bulbapedia. Having a list of them isn't really helpful in constructing that page. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 01:45, 18 August 2016 (UTC)

== Super Mystery Dungeon Move Descriptions ==

I'm planning to begin adding Super Mystery Dungeon's move descriptions to each of the move pages. However, each move has two separate descriptions, one on the move's basic info box, and another one that goes into more detail if needed, and I'd like your opinion (others are welcome too) on which should be used before I start. Most of the time, they're either the same or they managed to fit the most important details fit into the shorter one, but occasionally not; for example, Stockpile's short description doesn't mention its Defense/Sp. Defense raising effect. I've included example images of Stockpile and three others in this [http://imgur.com/a/x3e8U imgur album]–Feint (expanded detail example), Extrasensory (where the 'short' one is actually longer), and Splash (another 'expanded detail' one, but both have a fair amount of fluff). There have been a few descriptions added already (mainly starter moves) and they've all used the short one, but I wanted to make sure I'm doing the most desirable thing before I put the effort into documenting them all. [[User:VioletPumpkin|VioletPumpkin]] ([[User talk:VioletPumpkin|talk]]) 00:57, 18 August 2016 (UTC)
:I don't really know. I haven't played Super Mystery Dungeon or very much of Gates to Infinity, so I haven't really helped with their coverage. In the older Mystery Dungeon games there are two descriptions for items (one very short, one full length), and I had been using the full-length descriptions on item pages. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 01:45, 18 August 2016 (UTC)
::I see. I'm not familiar with the older Mystery Dungeon games, so it's interesting that something similar existed there. I noticed earlier today while working on the item pages that the people who had been editing those pages had been using the short descriptions for SMD, though in most cases those descriptions are very similar. That said, after looking at the entries for old games and comparing them to the SMD ones, it looks like the full-length ones were used for the old games, and more information than I thought was being lost with the shorter ones, so I think I'll go with the full-length ones. Thanks for answering! [[User:VioletPumpkin|VioletPumpkin]] ([[User talk:VioletPumpkin|talk]]) 04:27, 18 August 2016 (UTC)
:::Just to chime in, I've been using the long descriptions for the items I've been editing. At first, I wasn't aware of the short version so while I was editing I was confused about where people had gotten a different item description than me, so I changed them. I only realised later, but I've stuck to the long ones for now, but many of the item descriptions haven't been reverted to the long version. I agree that going for the long one has less risk of losing information.--[[User:Wowy|'''Wowy''']][[User talk:Wowy|'''(토크)''']] 08:44, 18 August 2016 (UTC)
::::Ah, I didn't realize that, so thanks for the heads up. I'll probably be doing more SMD additions today, so I'll be sure to double-check the Health Drink page (where I made those edits) first. [[User:VioletPumpkin|VioletPumpkin]] ([[User talk:VioletPumpkin|talk]]) 15:42, 22 August 2016 (UTC)

== Struggle and recoil ==

UPC says that Struggle does not have recoil damage from Gen IV onward, and every other effect we have that affects recoil does not affect the self-inflicted HP loss from Struggle. And Struggle's effect contradicts our definition of recoil, as it is not depending on the damage dealt. Struggle's description never says recoil, and the in-game description does not call it recoil. So I could only imagine you mean/checked the message, and that that's just the standard recoil message that says "recoil"? In which case, I guess we should separate Struggle recoil from any other recoil, and just say that Struggle is also said to have recall, even though it... hasn't. [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 10:14, 18 August 2016 (UTC)
:When you use Struggle in battle, it says "''<Pokémon> was damaged by the recoil''", just like every other recoil move. Its recoil damage is calculated in a different way to other recoil moves (except {{m|Shadow End}}) and it's not affected by Abilities that affect other recoil moves, but the game calls it recoil so that's what it is. Struggle is clearly a special-case move, so I think it being an exception to these effects makes perfect sense.
:It's also worth noting that the move descriptions for recoil moves are worded the same way as Struggle's (not that you can ever see Struggle's move description in-game). --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 10:24, 18 August 2016 (UTC)
::Ok, fair point. Well, technically, it isn't the same recoil than the others; so Rock Head's description, for example, is either refering to specifically the non-Struggle "recoil" variant, or does only refer to "some" recoil it can protect from. Does that mean that you think we should do what I just proposed, or do you think we should redefine our recoil definition (and make a special case for Struggle post-GenIII)?
::Worth noting that {{m|Overheat}} and its variations also mention "recoil" in their descriptions. Would you prefer to include that on the page? [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 10:37, 18 August 2016 (UTC)
:::Ability descriptions tend to try to be very concise because they don't have much room (particularly in older games). Struggle is an exception, but Ability descriptions don't tend to note exceptions; the Shadow moves that inflict recoil are also both exceptions to Rock Head. Also, Struggle calculated recoil damage the same way as other recoil moves did in Gen III, but it still wasn't affected by Rock Head.
:::I don't think Overheat is referring to the same concept (notably it doesn't say "recoil ''damage''", just "recoil"). I wouldn't be surprised if the description didn't consistently use the word used for recoil damage across languages (although it might anyway).
:::As for what to do, my suggestion would be to fix the recoil page to correct the definition of recoil. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 10:45, 18 August 2016 (UTC)
::::Descriptions seem to be consistent across languages (checked Japanese and German). I guess the concepts may be related (negative effect of using a move), but they obviously aren't all the same.

Hi. I am recently contributing on Pokemon Adventures articles -- mostly with Vietnamese translation.

== Effect sections etc. ==

This is a bunch of things, but I'll try to keep this short. I would kindly ask you to answer the first question, and I would appreciate if you took some time to answer any of the others, too.
# Do you believe that it would be worth the effort/time to go through all "Effect" sections (or those of moves) in an attempt to standardize them better? (That's not a leading question!)
# I've been creating [[User:Nescientist/Effect section guideline|this]], and I believe that's what it should ''ideally'' be. (It's delibarately non-strict for some aspects, but it still seems incompatible with the current state of Effect sections sometimes.) Eridanus notified me he [[User_talk:SnorlaxMonster/Archive/7#Moves_articles|talked to you]] earlier, so if there's any go-to guy, it might be you. Do you agree?
# What's the current guidelines that are implicitly in effect? (I hope you get what I mean.)
# I intend to edit some Effect sections in the near future (if you're interested and not already aware, you could check Tiddlywinks' talk). So I've been thinking I could try to simultaneously standardize/simplify them better. If the "current guidelines" are not the "ideal" ones, which ones should I use? (I guess this question might be question 1 actually, and sneakily asks for some coordination/assistance. ''If'' there's plans/desire to change "current" to "ideal" for move effects, now might be a good opportunity.)

Additionally, while I'm here, could I ask you to possibly reply [[Bulbapedia talk:Project ItemDex#Item template inclusion|over here]] (you're listed as a contact)? It's not a top priority, and I won't start a lengthy discussion if you just don't know, but I would like to ensure this didn't simply go unnoticed. Thanks!

== Policy question regarding mid-generation egg move parent updates on Pokémon pages ==

Recently, an edit was made on {{p|Alomomola}} that (correctly) added Corsola as a possible parent to pass Endure. Corsola could not learn Endure by level up until B2W2, but by checking Alomomola's Gen V learnset page, I saw that Corsola was not listed as a possible parent there, nor is it listed in the Gen V learnset page of most other Pokémon it could pass its 'new' B2W2 moves to. A similar situation arose with ORAS, where many Pokémon became new potential parents of some moves, but only some pages added them. As you know, the move pages have split columns to better note things like this, but the by breeding sections on the species pages do not. Since I couldn't find information on the correct way to handle this, and because I'd like to help keep things consistent, I'd like to ask if you know what the correct way is (either including the new parents, not including them, or something else)? Thanks! [[User:VioletPumpkin|VioletPumpkin]] ([[User talk:VioletPumpkin|talk]]) 16:57, 16 October 2016 (UTC)

== Moves that power up ==

Could you align the category's wording and the moves that are in that category (one way or the other)? You may or may not be aware, but doubling in damage is not ''exactly'' doubling in power.

::The wording you just added was fine. (And I plan to go through all of them at some point.) It's just that the category "Moves that power up" currently says they "increase in base power".

:::If the moves are more accurately described as ''increasing in damage'' than ''increasing in power'', then please change that; I don't know which it is.

::::Ok, thanks, then let's stick to "Moves that power up" only including moves that are most accurately described as increasing in power; I will edit your additions where appropiate.

:::::I don't get why you're categorizing {{m|Stored Power}} as both variable power and a move that powers up: what is different about it to all the other moves? It's the only move in the "Moves with variable power" category that has a fixed power (i.e. not — in-game).
:::::I think you may as well categorize them now, so we don't have to go find them again later whenever Tiddlywinks wants to make his new category. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 15:27, 20 October 2016 (UTC)
::::::Ah, that's what made you add it to the others!? I don't know why Tiddlywinks added them; I presume he was just mistaken when he did (as he ''explicitly'' didn't add Earthquake). I didn't see them when I checked; I will remove those.
::::::For Stored Power, Tiddlywinks might have added "Moves with variable power" for a technical reason: it's a trigger that modifies its ''power'' (see [http://www.smogon.com/bw/articles/bw_complete_damage_formula here]). You added the "powers up" because it gets greater than advertised. I've kinda said to Tiddlywinks that I'd prefer to go that label-route; but I also don't like to ''undo'' what others have done without their consent (if it's a debatable thing).
::::::For the category, I'm gonna create it once I can come up with an idea for its name. [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 16:20, 20 October 2016 (UTC)
:::::::Now I recall/know: Tiddlywinks wasn't in error, Gust and Twister apparently technically ''do'' work differently than Earthquake etc. I've reworded their prose. (They work like Earthquake, Magnitude, Surf and Whirlpool have worked in the past; I edited their prose as well and also added them to the category.)
:::::::And on Stored Power, you were right; if Gust isn't variable power, neither is Stored Power.
:::::::And if it's ok, I would like to wait for the category until I/we get to more/all moves; for now, it's just Earthquake, Magnitude, Surf and Whirlpool, and the complete list of "increases damage (directly)" is on my user page already (well, hopefully). [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 21:38, 20 October 2016 (UTC)
::::::::{{m|Stored Power}} is not (or was not, I'll go back to it in a moment) the only move in {{cat|Moves that have variable power}} with a numeric power value, {{m|Water Spout}} has it as well and would probably be a terrible fit for moves that "power up". IMO, moves that power up should basically be something that's either "X" power (normally) or "X*mult" power (in most cases *2, but the multiplier itself should not really ''vary''). I consider moves like {{m|Rollout}} and {{m|Fury Cutter}} close enough because they "power up" with successive uses, building very steadily/reliably. Stored Power's power '''varies''' based on however many stat stages the target has. You could use Stored Power for the first time and you might get its base power or its base power times 2 or 3 or 43; to me, that's very much "variable". Stored Power does not at all fit an image of a move that's "powering up" IMO. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 22:46, 20 October 2016 (UTC)
:::::::::I forgot, but it seems you (SnorlaxMonster) also wanted to sort out these categories "neatly" so you could use them on {{a|Forewarn}}. If it weren't for {{m|Eruption}} and Water Spout, I'd be happy to agree with you, but it's ''very'' hard to reasonably exclude them from a category for "variable power". I was a little unhappy that it couldn't be that neat myself, but I also consider it more valuable to actually have a place where the moves that can truly have varying power can all be found together. I think if we want a category for only physical/special moves with "—" for power, that should perhaps be something like ''Moves that do not have a fixed power''. On the other hand, though, if the table on Forewarn is going to list all the applicable moves anyway, then linking to a category/categories is probably kind of pointless anyway; you can just describe them as "Moves that have a power of '—'" without actually losing anything vital. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 23:50, 20 October 2016 (UTC)
::::::::::There was another reason (strange factor); had I known, I wouldn't have removed it. Anyway, just focusing on Stored Power, I still feel like "higher than the label says" might be "powered up" (and it uses ''the user's'' stat stages). Unless I'm mistaken, that's the case for all moves that power up, but not for any other move. Unless they're meant to be mutually exclusive, I would suggest we include both.
::::::::::The new power page looks splendid! (No, really!) Unless someone's faster, I would be taking care of Gen VI Abilities and moves within the next days. [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 01:09, 21 October 2016 (UTC)
:::::::::::What I basically meant the "power up" category for was for moves that have a binary condition: multiplier or none. The core of these is very much the things like {{m|Pursuit}}, {{m|Acrobatics}}, {{m|Smelling Salts}}. Rollout and Fury Cutter are a moderate extension therefrom. But Stored Power is very different from these. And "variable power" is basically "the rest".
:::::::::::And it really should be one category or the other. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 01:39, 21 October 2016 (UTC)
::::::::::::I think the only reasonable way to divide moves between "powering up"/"powering down" and "having variable power" is to split based on whether or not the move has a fixed base power. Anything else and we're getting too subjective. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 17:18, 28 October 2016 (UTC)
{{indent}}I think there's ''something'' valuable in that "subjectivity" that that strict division doesn't allow for. (In part, like I said before, the division you want is really better described like "moves without a fixed power". "Variable" inherently ''invites'' subjective judgement. Better to use something less ambiguous if that's what you really want.) {{m|Magnitude}} is a very interesting case: it normally has variable power, but can also receive a 2x modifier, so a strict division between the current categories wouldn't allow both effects to be noted.

I'll propose this instead: Moves that power up should be a category '''only''' for moves ''exactly'' like {{m|Pursuit}} and {{m|Acrobatics}}: they double in power under a specific condition and never go any higher (i.e., no Rollout/Fury Cutter, no Echoed Voice, no Pledges). (Maybe it would be called something else too, if it's going to be so strictly defined.) Then, ''everything'' else goes under "Moves with variable power", and "Moves that power up" is categorized under that as well. The only possible hitch here is, it may be weird if Magnitude is categorized both as having "variable power" and "powering up", if powering up is itself a subclass of variable power. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 17:49, 28 October 2016 (UTC)
:Wouldn't a category with Pursuit but without the Pledges be pointless?
:I think we only really need the {{tt|categories|I think we don't actually have to have multiple ones, but we should anyway}} for the [[power]] page. In my opinion, "Power up" should be meant to be for those that have a "standard" case but can power up, "variable"/"{{tt|varying|probably better, taken from Magnitude description — it's weird to have "Moves that have variable power" listed under "Variable-power moves"}}" (an unrelated category) for those that do not. How to define what a standard case is in an objective manner is tricky (on the other hand, we do not ''need'' to define that strictly, I guess).
:In my mind, moves with multiple standard cases ({{m|Magnitude}}, {{m|Present}}) and those with a continuous scale ({{m|Eruption}}, {{m|Reversal}}, {{m|Crush Grip}}) are "varying" (that's some kind of definition already, I guess). {{m|Rollout}} and {{m|Magnitude}} should be in both. For {{m|Punishment}}, {{m|Spit Up}} and {{m|Stored Power}}, I don't really care — they could be in either, or both.

:Normally, if there's a topic of questionably notability, I like to build it in the userspace to establish notability (although I do have a lot of pages that are intended for mainspace but have sat in my userspace for ages). If you can build a detailed page in the userspace that's not just full of fluff and within scope (i.e. related to Pokémon), it's unlikely to get rejected. (Fun fact: Confusion is on a list of page ideas on a post-it note that has sat next to my desktop approximately since [[Talk:Status condition#Each major status ailment in its own article?|we gave status conditions their own pages back in 2010/2011]].) If you want to make sure your userspace page you think should be mainspaced doesn't get forgotten, it's a good idea to poke a staff member (feel free to come to me with this kind of thing, although depending on the topic you might be more successful by asking the appropriate Editorial Board member). --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 12:45, 17 December 2016 (UTC)
::Thanks. While I do understand that, for Aura for example, I'm not 100% sure it is notable myself. That's a case where someone should do research quite a bit, which is a potential waste of time. And for others one might not be able to judge how notable it ''turns out to be'' beforehand. And even if ''I'' think it turned out to be notable, is there some way I can ensure the EB thinks the same and it wasn't all a waste of time (I'm likely biased if I invested time and effort)?
::So, in case of doubt, I can ask an appropriate staff member beforehand, on a case by case basis, and that staff member then might be able to guarantee that, if the article is of decent quality, it ''will'' get mainspaced?
::Can you tell me how notable/relevant/sensible you think the things I've listed are? (For me to maybe scratch them off my list of "should be created... eventually".)

:::Normally, if a page requires a lot of research but isn't notable, then the information would simply be placed on other pages, so it wouldn't be entirely a waste.
:::You can certainly ask beforehand, but if they're unsure, what's typically going to happen is the staff member will tell you to create a draft to show how such a page could look. For example, I really don't see what content you could even have on an "Aura" page, so right now I don't think it's notable, but if you went and did a lot of research and actually made a page of a decent length, you could convince me it is.
:::For my personal opinions on your list:
:::*Nebby: would certainly be notable
:::*Aura: Convince me there is actually content that would be on this page. I can imagine a list of the auras each Totem Pokémon/Ultra Beast has, but I don't really know what else there would be.
:::*Confusion: As I mentioned earlier, I certainly think there's enough information there for a page.
:::*Affection: I was the one who [[Talk:Pokémon-Amie#Affection split|nominated the split]] last year, but since it only applied to Amie it didn't happen. Now that it's some shared stat between Amie and Refresh I think there is more of an argument, but the same could be said about of lot of the mechanics of both minigames.
:::*Template:ZMoveInfobox: I think Z-Moves are probably fine using the same infobox as other moves for now.
:::*Target: Assuming this refers to attack targets, I think a page detailing the game mechanics of targeting would be interesting, although I believe the official term for possible targets is "range" whereas "target" is specifically the Pokémon chosen. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 13:34, 17 December 2016 (UTC)
::::Thanks!
::::*For Aura, I think there wouldn't be a lot information, but we do seem to have independent articles for virtually all other {{cat|game mechanics}} (as far as I know, at least).

::::*For Z-Moves, I don't like how messy the type-specific Z-Moves' templates look like, with half the template basically just confusing readers, screaming "READ THE TEXT!" instead of helping.
::::*For target/range, I'd imagined that page to be about both what you select '''and''' what you actually hit/affect, and to differentiate/explain a little.

There's also stuff like {{a|Leaf Guard}} to consider, which prevent the Pokémon becoming drowsy due to Yawn. Despite that concern, I don't really have an alternative name beyond "status".

== Increased priority ==

I thought I'd check this with you before I edit multiple pages all of which you might want to edit afterwards. I'd like to improve the priority moves' wording, they seem to be pretty Gen I centric, and have likely carried over to where they don't fit. Assuming we want to be this specific at individual move pages (which is not what I'd personally be going for), I suggest:
Quick Attack inflicts damage, and is an increased [[priority]] move. If no other Pokémon uses an increased priority move during the turn Quick Attack is used, Quick Attack will go first regardless of the user's {{stat|Speed}}. If multiple Pokémon use a move with an increased priority of +1 during the same turn, their move order will be determined normally.
I have no idea what that other paragraph with sleep and freeze is supposed to say. Do you know? (I'm inclined to believe it's only for Gen I, and also not important?) [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 13:37, 26 December 2016 (UTC)
:I think most of the explanation can be left on the priority page. Maybe even just:
Quick Attack inflicts damage. It has a [[priority]] of +1, so is used before all moves that do not have increased priority.
:I remember reading about that sleep/freeze thing for Gen I recently, actually. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pvk_8yTyscU Here's a video explaining it.] From Gen II onward, you can actually select moves while asleep/frozen, so you move at the priority of the selected move rather than the last selected move. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 13:56, 26 December 2016 (UTC)
::Yes, great, that's what I'd personally be going for; so that's what I'll do then. I'll remove virtually everything but a link to priority, and that extra paragraph at Quick Attack.

[http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Wela_Volcano_Park&diff=2572703&oldid=2572700]

Can you direct me to the guideline where ''The italics is supposed to be the translation of the Japanese name'' is laid out? As I mentioned in my edit summary, I have been unable to find it. [[BP:MOS]] doesn't appear to say anything like that.

''The Hepburn romanization is not particularly useful for anyone'' also doesn't appear to be mentioned there, and as far as I can tell it simply is not true. This is an English-language wiki that does not appear to assume Japanese literacy on the part of its readers, so the Japanese text without a romanization is illegible to our readers and therefore practically useless (and depending on encoding might not even display properly, although I have never had this problem myself). There's actually a control for this -- why do we give the HP and RR for the Chinese and Korean names, respectively, at the bottom of the article? The only difference is that those languages aren't relevant to the topic except as random trivia.

:Notice that on my page, the headers only group environments that have the same effects (other than terrain effects, but they're special). That was a very deliberate choice. On yours, they have several different effects in one.
:BTW, I notice you say that Gen VII is coming soon. I've actually got a spreadsheet detailing the whole game, but haven't put it on Bulbapedia yet (and it's missing Secret Power for everything but Ultra Space, since the only way to use it right now is via Metronome, as well as Burmy). The main reason I haven't put it up yet is due to not playing the post-game yet.

If the official Pokémon website isn't a reliable, accurate source of information, then what is? Bulbapedia is a useful resource but when the official Pokémon site directly contradicts it, the Official Pokémon site is probably the more reliable source in any given case, so I'm going to place my edit back until such a time you can link to a source about the disputed detail that proves the information on the official Pokémon website is incorrect, because there was no source given about the detail prior to my edit.

ForceFire said that a main reason is "lack of game or anime evidence". When I contacted ForceFire about SS036, which I believe has evidence proving Zygarde is indeed part of the trio, he said "I have an extremely limited understanding of the Japanese language and am not going to follow what fansubs say, since they usually take liberties. But I will bring it up with the other staff members and we will discuss it". (This was when there was no English dub.) Now that there is an English dub, I tried contacting him two or three days ago, and he hasn't responded. Could you give some feedback?"

1. We really should come up with a consensus on whether we move Guardian Deities to Tapu or not. Personally, I think we should, because "Tapu" is used frequently in game AND is used frequently by the fans.

2. We should add the Tapu (and the UBs and Type:Null/Silvally, for the matter) to the Legendary and Mythical Pokémon template. We know that all of those Pokémon are either Legendary or Mythical, and the template does not differentiate between the two.

What do you think? --[[User:Celadonkey|Celad]][[User_talk:Celadonkey|onkey]] 14:17, 10 February 2017 (UTC)

== Regarding Present ==

Just a few thoughts and questions. First, considering that the behavior of healing is different between GS, C, and Stad2, shouldn't that be noted or am I misunderstanding the wording that is being used? Secondly, I figured that it would be better to start with how Present works in GS and then go to C and Stad2. May I ask why that is incorrect? (Additionally, there is now duplicated text in the Generation II section, but what should be changed could depend on the answer to my first question.) --[[User:Super goku|Super goku]] ([[User talk:Super goku|talk]]) 08:25, 15 February 2017 (UTC)
:The page does start with how it works in Gold and Silver now; you changed it so a key part of the Gold and Silver functionality was labelled as exclusive to Crystal. Present can still heal the target in Gold and Silver (as is obvious due to the message given when the target's HP is full), but if it damages the target it uses that unusual damage formula in Gold and Silver only. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 12:20, 15 February 2017 (UTC)
::I guess I understand what went wrong. Though, I believe that I guess the way it is will have to do. Anyways, I have made a few more edits to the page based on the original source, among other things. --[[User:Super goku|Super goku]] ([[User talk:Super goku|talk]]) 07:36, 17 February 2017 (UTC)

== Follow up ==

I spoke to an admin a couple of months ago regarding a situation with user Pikablu and I was instructed to talk it out with the user, and I did so, but I don't believe what he is saying and my suspicions keep rising even after I talked with him. I keep seeing him undo posts of mine, whether it is by editing the page or actually pressing the undo button, when they shouldn't have been done and several minutes ago, I noticed that he added back on SM015 that Professor Kukui's Rockruff is revealed to know Bite and learns Rock Throw, even know I've already said in one of the edits that he never owned Rockruff and that we don't even know if it knows Bite or not. Could you please look into this. I forget what the other example were back then, but I can assure you, they were edits that were done, even though they were not meant to be there, edits that added wrong or speculative information.

:::Based on other similar cases, it looks like on move pages the link should go to [[Ash's Rockruff]] while the display text should be "A wild Rockruff" if it has only used the move before being caught.

== Pokémon GO learnsets ==

Would you mind moving your [[User:SnorlaxMonster/Pokémon GO moves]] page into the mainspace preferably under [[List of learnsets in Pokémon GO]]? I think it is mature enough at this point and the data is up-to-date. I am asking you because it is your page. This way it can be linked from the [[Pokémon GO]] page.

== Grammar dispute mediation ==

May I ask for a staff opinion from you, please? Tiddlywinks has asked me to go to someone higher ranked than Force Fire.

Tiddlywinks and Force Fire have been aggressively retaining usage of the incorrect "comprised of." I have numerous sources ([http://grammarist.com/usage/compose-comprise/ 1] [http://www.quickanddirtytips.com/education/grammar/comprise-versus-compose 2] [http://www.businesswritingblog.com/business_writing/2015/01/comprised-of-vs-composed-of-a-test.html 3] for starters, and plenty more can be found with a quick Google search) stating that despite its prevalence, such usage is grammatically wrong. They have not produced even a single source in favor of their argument that it's acceptable. I would be willing to drop this fight if even a single such source is presented, but Tiddlywinks is refusing to do so and unilaterally saying that on this matter, their unresearched ''opinion'' trumps correctness.

Because someone(most likely reading Smogon's recommended sets and forgetting Showdown bypasses many real-game legality checks due to it being a sim)made it look like it is random, when my transferred one was Hardy(and it was Hardy on my other 3DS as well), so ...can you figure out what is going on there?--[[User:BlisseyandtheAquaJets|BlisseyandtheAquaJets]] ([[User talk:BlisseyandtheAquaJets|talk]]) 05:30, 2 March 2017 (UTC)

== Template ==

Hello SnorlaxMonster!

I see you've been updating templates and I was wondering if you were going to update template:catalogue? I raised a few issues about it a year ago and I don't know much about templates to fix the issue myself. I've copied-pasted what I wrote on the discussion page for [[List of Pokémon Global Link promotions/Dream World]] here:
* The links to the Pokémon Doll catalogue and Plain catalogue actually lead to another redirect. So I suggest the template should be changed to allow for a direct link.
* (This is not really a template issue, but I should raise the issue before changing it) Many of the dolls are grouped according to how they were released in the English Global Link, such as Reshiram, Zekrom and Keldeo, as well as Meloetta, Black Kyurem and White Kyurem. However, many of the Japanese and Korean releases had them released differently. For example, in Japan, while Reshiram and Zekrom were distributed together, Keldeo was actually given out with Meloetta, with Black and White Kyurem coming together in another distribution. In Korea, Reshiram and Zekrom actually came with Pikachu not Keldeo, while Meloetta, Keldeo, Black and White Kyurem all came together. So my suggestion would be split the groups into Meloetta, Keldeo, Reshira & Zekrom, and Black Kyurem & White Kyurem.
Thanks! --[[User:Wowy|'''Wowy''']][[User talk:Wowy|'''(토크)''']] 11:42, 2 March 2017 (UTC)

== Baby Pokémon ==

I wrote this on the Baby talk page but didn't get a response, so I figured I'd come to a mod

Where does the criteria for baby Pokémon come from. Is it officially stated, or reverse-written by Bulbapedia/fans? --[[User:Celadonkey|Celad]][[User_talk:Celadonkey|onkey]] 17:03, 2 March 2017 (UTC)
:It's possible that there is some handbook, guidebook, or page on an official site which defines the term, but I think the Undiscovered evolving into non-Undiscovered Egg Group is a good definition. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 03:13, 3 March 2017 (UTC)
::Given that it was inferred by someone on Bulbapedia, would it be ok to make a similar definition for Legendary Pokémon, or would we just remove it altogether? I think it should be an all-or-none sort of thing. --[[User:Celadonkey|Celad]][[User_talk:Celadonkey|onkey]] 03:23, 3 March 2017 (UTC)
:::I'm not saying it's definitely inferred—it's quite possible that it is officially used, I just haven't checked thoroughly. However, there's no dispute as to what constitutes a baby Pokémon, but there is for Legendary Pokémon, so I don't think it's reasonable to allow fans to define what Legendary Pokémon means.

== Page suggestion: a list of city slogans ==

Hey there! I had an idea earlier today for a page that collects all the city slogans so readers can browse them all in one place, instead of having to click on every city's page to see them one by one. I've started a mockup at [[User:Pumpkinking0192/List of city slogans]] and [[User:Pumpkinking0192/Template:CitySlogan]], but it's only filled out enough to be a proof of concept.

I think it's a good idea, but if there's not going to be any staff interest in mainspacing such a page, then I'd rather abandon it now instead of spending an hour or two filling it out. So before I expend that effort, I'd like to ask: do you think it's a good idea? Are the staff likely to be willing to mainspace this concept, or something like it, once it's eventually complete? Are there any structural changes that you want to suggest, especially those that would be easier to make now rather than after all the data's collected? Thanks for your input!

::Two things: 1) The page in my userspace is done and ready to go through the Editorial Board's approval process.
::2) As I was gathering the data, I noticed that all Kalos cities have either an "origin" section or a bullet point about the origin, detailing the real-world locations the cities may have been based on. However, no other city articles have this, and in fact in the past couple of months I had removed such a section from a couple of Alola city articles, thinking the precedent was that it should be excluded from city articles and put on [[Pokémon world in relation to the real world]], but in fact it appears there is no consistent precedent. What should be done about this? Should we remove it from the Kalos articles, or add it to all the others?

::::With all due respect, I understand your reasoning, but I'd rather wait and see whether I get a definite yes or no from the EB first, for three reasons:
::::1) That was a lot of work to compile, and I'm not exactly eager to immediately turn around and do a lot more work, especially after I specifically asked SM about "structural changes ... that would be easier to make now rather than after all the data's collected". If the EB asks it, sure, I'll do it, but in the meantime...
::::2) In your suggested layout, certain cities (Azalea most egregiously, but most Kanto/Johto cities tbh) would stretch the table horizontally so far that the table would be considerably wider than most readers' screen resolutions, even on desktops/laptops. Our wiki already has a plethora of tables that are too wide to read easily on mobile; I'd strongly prefer to avoid spreading that problem to desktop view.
::::3) In a perfect hypothetical future, I would love to see the page expanded with all the slogans in every language that the games have been officially released in. That would require the layout I've done (or something like it), with my initial "In other languages" section restored. For now, though, I recognize that's just a pipe dream.
::::But thanks for your concern! None of my three concerns are absolute deal-breakers, so if the EB rejects this layout I'm happy to work with you to try to find a way to reconcile our ideas. Thanks!

== Sprites ==

1) Why do the party templates for Gen VI use the art for the Pokémon and not their sprites? I understand why the Gen VII templates use the art, because not all the sprites are updated, but it seems kind of silly when the other templates use sprites.

::::This is because Goodra may only have an immunity to grass if the ability is Sap Sipper while for Kommo-o, it's type combination and ability does not allow it to have a type immunity.

(And that [[Special:Diff/1967375|this edit of yours]] just spread that error?)

== Lillie's quotes ==

Hi. I'm currently doing Lillie's quotes. I saw what happened with Looker having a separate Quote article. I'm wondering if Lillie should be the same too, because I'm not sure the requirements for a separate Quote article. Whether if it's due to being too long, or is it because Looker appears in many different generations of games. If it's due to the length, I think Lillie's quotes are too long to incorporate into her article. So should just I save it on [[Lillie]] first before the decision is made? — '''[[User:Ruixiang95|Ruixiang]][[User talk:Ruixiang95|95]]''' 09:28, 19 April 2017 (UTC) [Edits made on 09:53, 19 April 2017 (UTC)]

== A couple things I wanted ask you about ==

Originally, I was going to ask an admin about only one thing, but while going through the thought process of how to put it, another question came into my mind as well. So, here we go: 
1) A short while ago, I went through different Pokémon character articles to see if there were any capture locations I could pinpoint more accurately than what was already given. In most of the few cases I ran into this, that was pretty easy. But with [[Ash's Gible]] I wasn't 100% sure. Its capture location had apparently been listed as just "Sinnoh" since the article was created, and after some thought, I changed it to "Around {{rt|222|Sinnoh}}". However, since the group was on their way from Mt. Coronet to Sunyshore, which isn't exactly a straight route, I wasn't able to shake off the feeling that it wasn't completely accurate (hence the "around" part). And whenever I'm in doubt, I look for reassurance from someone else. So, what do you think? Is it accurate enough now, or should it be changed? 
2) Speaking of locations, my second question can also be seen as a request. I wondered if a Pokémon was obtained as an Egg, could it be OK to list the location where the Egg was obtained besides just the location where it hatched? Just a thought, but I hope you'll at least consider it. 
Yours truly, [[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 07:17, 23 April 2017 (UTC).
:1) I think it would be better not to make assumptions about locations that are not explicitly named. There are a lot of anime-exclusive locations. Maybe it would be better just to write "Between Mt. Coronet and Sunnyshore City"?
:2) I can see value in having the Egg obtain location in the infobox. For now, it would at least be a good idea to make sure it is explicitly stated in the article's prose (I noticed that this was not the case for [[Ash's Donphan]]). --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 08:48, 23 April 2017 (UTC)
::1) Yup. Thought as much. I'll give it some thought and change it (as a side note, I changed [[May's Munchlax]]'s capture location from just "Hoenn" to "An island between Pacifidlog and Slateport" since they were traveling between those two settlements at the time, but I didn't want to make assumptions about which one of the several routes present there they were on at the time).
::2) I'm glad to hear you support that idea. How soon do you think it can be put into proper use? --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 05:20, 24 April 2017 (UTC)
:::Not meaning to be pushy, but do you have answer to my question? Also, I changed Gible's capture location to "Between Route 210 and Daybreak Town", since the group was traveling from [[Wilma]]'s place to Daybreak Town at the time. I think it's accurate enough. Do you agree? --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 06:25, 30 April 2017 (UTC)
::::1) Was it ever stated in the anime that Wilma lives on Route 210? Couldn't you instead put something like "Near Wilma's house"?
::::2) I've added the <code>eggmet</code> parameter to the infobox, and put it into use on [[Ash's Donphan]] as an example. Feel free to put it into widespread use. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 04:08, 2 May 2017 (UTC)
:::::1) A lot of routes don't get mentioned by name in the anime, but if we have two in-game locations and an episode takes place in between them, it's pretty safe to say that it takes place on the route between them. I just figured out that since Wilma's house is located east of Mt. Coronet, the direction Ash and co. were traveling at the time, I figured that they were traveling between its location on 210 and their next destination, Daybreak Town. If this doesn't convince you, I can change it.
:::::2) Thanks. I've already put it into good use. Also, while these are rare cases, I've seen a couple of other things that I feel could be improved as well. First: Some Pokémon hatched in a different location than where they were caught, most notably perhaps [[Ash's Greninja]], whose hatching location can only be pointed to somewhere in [[Kalos]], while its capture location can be accurately be pinpointed at [[Lumiose City]]. Is this notable enough to warrant a template edit so that the capture location can also be added for a Pokémon hatched from an Egg in case it's not the same as the hatching location, or can it be defined more accurately? Second: In the case of Fossil Pokémon, could there be a part in the template that reads when and where the Fossil was obtained and when it was revived, similar to how Eggs are obtained and hatched? --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 13:29, 2 May 2017 (UTC)
::::::What do you think? Do you think these suggestions are notable enough to be put into use? --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 09:43, 5 May 2017 (UTC)
:::::::1) You're better off asking Pokemaster97 about this. I'm not entirely happy just assuming routes without being explicitly referred to as such (or having a sign with a route number on it show up in the episode), but I can see your point about it being obvious that that is the intent.
:::::::2a) My intent with the <code>eggmet</code> parameter was for when a Trainer obtains the Egg. If it hatched from an Egg in the wild, it doesn't make sense to consider when and where the Egg was "obtained" because it never was (including for the episode that the Egg is obtained in). Additionally, I think it would be a good idea to have separate "Hatched at" and "Caught at" locations usable for Pokémon that hatched from Eggs in the wild.
:::::::2b) Are there actually any anime fossil Pokémon that have their own pages such that this functionality would be useful? I don't remember any owned by major characters. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 10:02, 5 May 2017 (UTC)
::::::::1) Thanks for the hint. I'll contact him about the subject.
::::::::2a) Separate hatching and capture locations were pretty much what I was going after. Thanks for agreeing.
::::::::2b) I can think of [[Roark's Rampardos]] and [[Aero|Red's Aero]]. With the latter, the debut appearance currently listed there is the round where the fossil was obtained, and the resurrection round is listed under the "evolved in" segment of the template, which seems inaccurate in my opinion. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 10:53, 5 May 2017 (UTC)

== Parting Shot ==

Excuse me, but could you possibly revisit it? I don't mean the parts where I just copied U-Turn (oops), but the dependencies: I now realize it may be supposed to say that the user will switch even if the target has Clear Body, is at -6 etc.?? I had removed that part because it sounded like the user also switches when the move misses, which is not the case (and I can't seem to find a nice way to make that distinction, but maybe you could make it clearer). Also, I removed the "even if it cannot switch out" part because a) U-Turn doesn't have it, b) the sentence is really awkward then (grammatically and information-presentation-wise), and c) imo it's clear anyway.

== Sky Attack ==

Are you sure about the contents of [[Special:Diff/2190530|this edit]], specifically that the high crit ratio started in Gen V (not Gen III)? It doesn't seem to have a high critical hit ratio in Gens I+II, but the descriptions also don't say that. (Fun fact: Apparently has an explicit 0% flinch chance in Gen II.) UPC, Showdown and the in-game descriptions contradict Gen V. But you could have more info, and I can't access [http://www.smogon.com/forums/showthread.php?t=26660&highlight=rock&page=4 this thread] from the edit history (but I imagine it could just confirm no increased ratio in Gen I or II). And in case there's nothing substantial: can we change it? [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 16:40, 2 May 2017 (UTC)

:::Oh, Flinch ≠ Crit? Got it!
:::If you think that confirms it, could you reference it somehow?
:::But maybe let me say: I'm not entirely convinced by that (thx for the pastebin btw); I wouldn't rule out that it was just bad luck. They don't usually outright lie; they're Japanese! (I also do see a slim chance that they just screwed it up in Gen IV, but that it used to work in Gen III.)
:::Explanation: I believe in Gen III, high critical hit ratio also increases the rate from 1/16 to 1/8 (unlike what we currently say; see [http://upcarchive.playker.info/0/upokecenter/content/pokemon-ruby-version-sapphire-version-and-emerald-version-critical-hit-method.html UPC]). Assuming the first test was in Gen III (do you have context?), if there was an 1/16 CH chance, there is a 12.9% chance to observe 8/108 CHs; but there is also a 3.3% chance to observe that if there was a 1/8 crit chance (per multinomial distributions, and also assuming I did the math correctly). In other words, there is a chance that this is misinterpreted bad luck. For the smaller DP sample, bad luck appears to be a little bit less likely (21.1% vs. 3.3%). (I'm not sure how to extract the exact chance/likelihood/whatever that it's a 1/8 CH chance rather than the assumed 1/16, but I think it wouldn't be enough ''for me'' to overrule the description, and to say it is wrong). [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 17:01, 5 May 2017 (UTC)
::::Yes, from the context it is clear that the first test is in Gen III.
::::That's interesting point about the probability of it being a high critical hit ratio move still not being vanishingly small, although my suggestion would be to try testing it yourself if you're still not convinced. To me, it seems entirely feasible that Game Freak intended to make Sky Attack a high critical hit ratio move, but because it's a two-turn move something about that didn't work (e.g. it only has a high critical hit ratio on the turn it is initially used rather than the turn it hits, so Power Herb might give different results), then when they rebuilt the game engine in Gen V the bug didn't get programmed in again. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 04:15, 6 May 2017 (UTC)
:::::Hm, I think this is about whether you're (still?) convinced. I'm not convinced either way, but as I said, I wouldn't have said "they're wrong, I know better". On the other hand, maybe they ''are'' wrong.
:::::I thought about that, too, but then what about {{m|Razor Wind}}? [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 09:13, 6 May 2017 (UTC)
::::::Ok, after discussing some of it with friends, I'm almost sure the Smogon guys just unterestimated probabilities. I believe I found out how to "extract" properly, and that their Gen III observations are 20.5% likely to stem from a 1/16 CH ratio (and 79.5% from a 1/8 one; assuming it needs to be one of them), while the Gen IV observations are 13.6% likely (in contrast to 86.4%). That's not really much.
::::::In addition, I tested in Generation III (I'm not easily able to in Gen IV). Out of 50 hits, 9 were critical hits. Despite being a small sample, my apparent "luck" boosts the same measure to 96.8% likely 1/8 chance (and only 3.2% 1/16).
::::::That's not compelling evidence for me that UPC is correct with everything (in particular, whether high CH chance moves are only boosted by 1 stage!), but it is enough for me to seriously doubt the "No increased CH ratio, wrong description" thesis.

== Image Replacement Permission ==

Hello! I'm trying to change the Pokédex entry image on [[ゥ/ 4ァ 4,|this page]], but it seems that I must ask for permission from an administrator to do that. I would like to upload [https://puu.sh/w1Iws/91069e101c.png this image]. Could you help me? I would like to change the image of dex entries on glitch Pokémon pages with a better resolution. Thanks.

== Generation II AI misses ==

I've repeatedly postponed mainspacing this, hoping for some bright idea: In Generation II, battle mechanics are biased. [https://github.com/pret/pokecrystal/blob/master/battle/effect_commands.asm#L5850 Stat-lowering], [https://github.com/pret/pokecrystal/blob/master/battle/effect_commands.asm#L5047 sleep-inducing], [https://github.com/pret/pokecrystal/blob/master/battle/effect_commands.asm#L7733 paralyzing] and [https://github.com/pret/pokecrystal/blob/master/battle/effect_commands.asm#L5147 poisoning] status moves used by AI opponents have a 1/4 of failing, before applying accuracy tests (except in the Battle Tower or after Lock-On/Mind-Reader). This seems to also affect stat-lowering effects of damaging moves, whose real chance of activating their effects should be 1/4 lower for opponents, except for Mud-Slap and Octazooka. So, for example, opponents' {{m|Growl}} can miss at neutral accuracy/evasion levels (which I've re-confirmed on a Silver cartridge), but yours can't; your {{m|Aurora Beam}} should have a 10% of lowering their Atk, but theirs has a 7.5% chance of lowering yours.

That's problematic enough, but my real problem is: Where does this belong? I don't have anything I'm 100% comfortable with: I can't seem to find a way to have it fit smoothly anywhere, but it's important enough that it should probably be on multiple pages, somehow. So, my bright idea is to ask for bright ideas. Do you have any? [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 22:37, 1 June 2017 (UTC)
:Well, we could certainly create a {{redlink|Miss}} article and include them there. Otherwise, I don't really have any good ideas.

::That'd be a good place for it, yes. Have you also considered a more general article on hitting, that would include things like accuracy tests (and their bypass), "miss", "fail", "ineffective", "protection", and "lack of target"? I guess all but "ineffective" could even redirect there, and we could even try to include something on additional effects, possibly even target/range. The title isn't as straightforward (maybe the lack of a good title is the main counterargument), but I guess a more general page could be more useful!? (I don't really like our current [[accuracy]] article, especially if we relocate the Gen I glitch, so maybe we should keep in mind to also improve it along the way!?)

== I'm willing to put a Gen VII Shiny Photo on the [[Shiny Pokémon]] Page! ==

Hi, SnorlaxMonster, I'm new to Bulbapedia but even knowing that newbies get very little access to doing anything on Bulbapedia, I want to get permisson to put an image on the [[Shiny Pokemon]] Page! But not just any image. Just like the Generation [[Generation II|2]], [[Generation III|3]], [[Generation IV|4]], and [[Generation V|5]] images that look like GIFs, I recently made a Generation [[Generation VII|Generation 7]] GIF that I want to get permission to do.

It even says this on the page:
<code><nowiki>{{incomplete|needs=info and images for Generation VII}}</nowiki></code>

Since it's been several months without a Generation VII Image and after the [[Generation VI]] image is not a GIF, I am willing to bring back the GIF Photos with [[Generation VII]]!

Would it be okay if I uploaded the [[Shiny Pokémon]] [[Generation VII]] Sparkling Photo?

I already made it[http://i.imgur.com/ejDltKf.gifv] --[[User:JohnKroozie|JohnKroozie]] ([[User talk:JohnKroozie|talk]]) 17:44, 6 August 2017 (UTC)
:Did you capture the image yourself, or did you create this GIF from someone else's video?

If I could, I'd tell you how I captured it! As I was recording [[Pokemon Sun]] on my Nintendo 3DS, I unexpectedly encountered a [[Shiny]] the regular way! That's when I used Premiere Pro to edit out everything in the recording EXCEPT for the [[Shiny]] Part. Then I took advantage of Premiere Pro's "Export" setting to convert the video to a GIF File! Then I used an online website to make it a real GIF.
And I'm sorry I kinda replied late! --[[User:JohnKroozie|JohnKroozie]] ([[User talk:JohnKroozie|talk]]) 18:37, 12 August 2017 (UTC)

However, a still image of the sparkle effect would certainly be useful.
::Anyway, before I give you the go-ahead to upload such a still image, just to make sure you did actually capture the image yourself, would you mind taking a screenshot of a Pikachu nicknamed "KroozieBP" and uploading it to an external image host (like Imgur)?

== Guidance ==

Hey, so I found you via recent changes as a big time user, so you're probably my best bet to answer a question. I'm a long-time Pokemon fan, Bulbapedia reader, and Wiki contributor; but, with regards to that latter point, I've never edited on this particular wiki. I've noticed some things I can improve here, but I can't. My ideas require an additional MediaWiki extension. What I mostly need to know is the best possible place to post a fully fleshed-out proposal. I think my ideas will improve on every aspect of how things operate. My phrasing here was kind of vague, so if you require more info about my ideas, I'd be happy to elaborate a little.

As I said, I'm not new to wiki editing in general. I do know the difficulties of being in a new community though.

== 3DS image uploads and Miiverse ==

I am interested in uploading images from Rumble World and Super Mystery Dungeon, mainly of moves and status conditions, but also anything else that might need an image from those games. However, since I lack 3DS capture capability, I would first have to upload the images to Miiverse, then save them from there and upload them to the archives. Images uploaded to Miiverse are initially .jpg, which I understand isn't ideal, so I was wondering if it was still fine to use them as long as I converted them to png before uploading to the archives.

== Category update problem ==

As you're the first person I tend to think about when I encounter a problem in Bulbapedia (sorry about that, BTW), I decided to ask you if you know anything about this thing. For some reason, about a month ago, Bulbapedia started acting weird for me for a short time (like logging me out whenever I left the site etc.), after which 1) all links that I had used on Bulbapedia turned from "used" to "unused", and, more importantly, 2) categories started refusing to update. Now whenever a page is added to a category, or even when a category is created with a page already listed in that category, the page does not show up in that category. Sorry if this sounds like rambling, but do you know about anything that could've caused this? Oh, and in case this subject is talked about at the Bulbagarden forums, just a heads-up: I don't use that. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 11:34, 11 September 2017 (UTC)

:::The goal is the ultimately split every item. I believe the Data Cards are not planned to have their own articles though, and items like Gram 1-3 would share a page.

(My thought experiment has me use direct links for things like <code><nowiki>[[super-effective]]</nowiki></code> and <code><nowiki>[[Masked Royal]]</nowiki></code>, even though they might never be non-redirects.)

:::::Wikipedia has {{wp|WP:NOTBROKEN|a policy}} about linking to redirects not being a problem, particularly when they indicate possible future articles. However, that policy doesn't apply here, and it shouldn't necessarily be applied. On Bulbapedia, the policy is typically to avoid redirects (although the [[List of items by index number]] pages have been violating that for years, and the Pokédex entry template does too for convenience).

::::::Trying to avoid a misunderstanding: I didn't mean to say I'll go around and enforce some redirect links here and there. I meant to say I'd use them (i.e., not rule them out) when editing; for example, when moving the effectiveness stuff from [[damage]] to [[type]], I'd relink <code><nowiki>{{DL|Damage|super effective}}</nowiki></code> to <code><nowiki>[[super effective]]</nowiki></code> (rather than <code><nowiki>{{DL|Type|super effective}}</nowiki></code> or similar).

:Yes, those examples would be correct, although there hasn't really been any specific discussion on Colo/XD-exclusive items. Unobtainable items probably won't, although the [[Teru-sama]] is going to keep the page it already has. For key items, the plain page name is often a disambig and not a redirect (e.g. [[S.S.

Hi. I have completed the Game-exclusive template (Template:Vex) for Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon (ready to press save). However, you want me to create in my own userspace first or don't create at all? Or are we going to update "Template:Vex7" to include USUM or a separate template under "Template:Vexusum"?

== A totally random thing that I need someone's help for ==

As I've noticed that Bulbapedia seems to have allowed adding the actual type of type-changing moves (like {{m|Hidden Power}} or {{m|Multi-Attack}}), as opposed to them just being listed as {{type|Normal}} moves, into in-game moveset templates, I've been in the process of adding those missing types wherever I can. Unfortunately, since Hidden Power is a rather common move in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], a game I do not own, I've been restricted into using YouTube videos while figuring them out, and those videos are a rather limited resource. They've only helped me in figuring out the type of a handful of them, but many still remain unsolved. Which brings me to my point: is there any way of figuring these out? Since you're my go-to guy when it comes to problems I face in Bulbapedia (an honest apology if that bothers you, BTW), I though about asking this from you. So, do you or anybody else you might think of have a way of figuring this out? Thank you for reading. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 09:42, 28 September 2017 (UTC)
:I imagine you could check the game data of Stadium 2 to find out, but I don't really have the ability to do that. The easier alternative would just be to get someone who does have the game to check, rather than relying on YouTube videos. I don't have the game, but you could check the category {{cat|Pokémon Stadium 2 players}} and ask an active user there. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 09:47, 28 September 2017 (UTC)
::I thought about that possibility, too. I agree that checking the game's code would be the easiest way of find this stuff out.

::::Yeah, I understood that as well. I basically meant to say that checking the code can be a bit hard for your average player, so manual checking can be much easier. I've just noticed that some Pokémon seem really reluctant to use Hidden Power, either because the AI is being a bit dumb, or the type of the move is extremely situational. Either way, yeah.

:I believe [http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/ultra/en-us/gallery-detail-3.html the context] makes it clear that "as well" means "in addition to its regular form".

== Ability Capsule and Category:Items ==

While I am not one to argue with Admins or otherwise authority, stating that Category:Items is used for only items in the Item pocket is 100% false. Category:Items currently (and as far as I am aware has always) contained subcategoried for Key Items, Berries, and Medicine, and contains unlistable number of items that are not just "Item Pouch" items. Category:Medicine itself is entirely part of Category:Items, and all items within it use the dual category classification that you just undid, which is why I was correcting it the Ability Capsule page.

No disrespect intended, but I feel this change to be both incorrect and counterproductive
--[[User:13akoors|13akoors]] ([[User talk:13akoors|talk]]) 05:45, 4 March 2018 (UTC)

EDIT: After re-looking, it seeks that only subcategories follow the system I was using. That said, Ability Capsules do not fit within any subcategory, so I would argue an exception should be made for it
:I think I might have been a bit unclear. Only items in the items pocket should be ''directly'' placed in Category:Items. The Medicine category is in Category:Items, but the items in Category:Medicine are not also placed directly in Category:Items.
:There was discussion about creating a new category specifically for the items pocket (so that no items would be placed directly in Category:Items), although we hadn't agreed on a name. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 05:50, 4 March 2018 (UTC)

== A bunch of things ==

Hi there. I've got several things:
#[[User talk:Kogoro#Template:MoveInfobox]]: Any idea what to do about it? I've really tried hard, and Kogoro is(/was) aware but continues to ignore me. (Also, do you know anything regarding BulbaBot? I'm not even sure it's intended to be fixed.)
#[[Talk:Pokémon outbreak#Generation III outbreaks]]: FYI.
#The fossil pages: I guess pages named "X and Y Fossils" are supposed to end up deleted? If so, I guess the procedure would be to first de-link them, then move them onto "X Fossil" (to preserve history) and split off "Y Fossil"? If that's right/reasonable, if ''someone'' went and took care of links, would you be able to do the rest (as Lanthanum has started to create individual pages in their userspace, I guess it'll require <code>delete</code> and <code>mergehistory</code>)?
#[[#New pages notability]]/[[User:Nescientist/Confusion (status condition)]]: Any progress there?
#[[Template talk:Sup/t#Link target]]: Could you have a look, please?
#[[Template:Movelist]]: I'd like to have movelists like those at {{m|Snatch}} be sortable. But the template creates and hides up to four columns, causing the Gen.VII column to order by Gen.III etc., which makes me wonder: what was wrong with [[Special:Diff/2656742|this edit]] that caused you to develop some workaround (that breaks the sorting)? (And also, why are there even optional generic columns at all?) You're more into it, plus you stated reasons in that workaround edit summary that I think I fail to understand thoroughly.
Thanks. [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 17:19, 6 March 2018 (UTC)
:Bumping, and expanding:
::7. Could you do the Bottle Caps Lanthanum started in their userspace?
::8. Can I do [[Potion]] in a similar way than [[Revive]] (and change <code><nowiki>{{DL|Potion|Potion}}</nowiki></code> be changed to <code><nowiki>[[Potion]]</nowiki></code> in the process?)
::9. What also came to my mind is [[legendary artifacts]]: Akurochan recently created articles on many of them, and when considering how to fix their introductions, I came to the conclusion that I think we shouldn't deliberately link there at all, but delete the page!? It's basically just a list of {{template|Item}} templates for largely unrelated items, and you said at its talk that it was just a title that describes that list. I don't know how much deleting pages with histories (and talk pages) is frowned upon (and I don't like it much), so maybe we just move the article onto the category?? (Should I address this on the articles talk page? Or else, if you give me a go, I guess I can do the rest even without admin powers!?)

== Separate shiny images for Diancie and Mega Diancie (for use on long-overdue Diancie usertag) ==

Given that you uploaded [[:File:Shiny Diancie Mega Evolution.png]], can you please carefully extract the Shiny Diancie and Shiny Mega Diancie images from the background and upload them as individual, transparent-background images of the same size as their non-shiny Global Link counterparts ([[:File:719Diancie Dream.png]] and [[:File:719Diancie Mega Dream.png]])? I am trying to make a usertag for Diancie using the Dream images (because Diancie has no Black/White-style sprites) and want to accommodate both Shiny and Shiny Mega images into the coding. I cannot use the Spr_6x_, Spr_6o_, or Spr_7s_ images because they have too much transparent padding around and the MediaWiki software does not allow for cropping images invoked using the <code><nowiki>[[File:image.png|size]]</nowiki></code> construct.

For comparison: (for some reason userboxitem tables do not render in talk pages?)

:As for extracting the Shiny Diancie artwork from that image and putting them on a transparent background, that's really not my area of expertise. If you do end up getting nice clean versions of them however, please do upload them to the Archives. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 11:05, 20 December 2018 (UTC)
::If I were an auto-confirmed user at the Archives, I would not be asking you this (I would have quietly done the extraction and the uploads instead). But given that I have no privilege for uploading anything to the Archives, I was thinking of an alternative: I do the extractions (I am skilled in doing so), give them clean transparent backgrounds, and then upload them to PhotoBucket (from where you can then download the images and then upload them yourself to the Archives).

::P.S. BTW, I tried your codes; the first two look fine, albeit with a somewhat darker background behind Diancie and Mega Diancie (I was expecting Rock color light, but at least the images are appropriately sized relative to the roundy field, maybe I could slightly reduce them in size <del>{{tt|if the Has Pokémon template provides a way to specify image size|which indeed it does after inspecting source}}</del>), while the last two (the shiny ones) look awkwardly tiny (due to the excess transparent padding surrounding those shiny models which cannot be remedied no matter what pixel size you specify on the template), hence my desire to get the shiny images from that Korean Global Link-style artwork instead.

Hey, heads up. {{user|Mckenzie6361}} has quite the talk page going on here. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 02:33, 2 January 2019 (UTC)

== "Fainted shouldn't be considered a status condition" ==

It is though. And that's not our decision to make, it's the game's. Revives have been classified as Status Restore since Generation IV. [[User:TehPerson|TehPerson]] ([[User talk:TehPerson|talk]]) 17:58, 7 January 2019 (UTC)
: Also see [[Fainting]] and [[Template:StatusNav]] if you still disagree. [[User:TehPerson|TehPerson]] ([[User talk:TehPerson|talk]]) 18:01, 7 January 2019 (UTC)
::I agree, fainting has always been treated as a status condition both in the games and on BP... --[[User:Celadonkey|Celadonkey]] ([[User talk:Celadonkey|talk]]) 18:25, 7 January 2019 (UTC)
:::Status restore includes items that restores status conditions (such as Awakening and Full Restore) as well as items that do not (such as the Red Flute and Revives). The games define status conditions as sleep, poison, freeze, paralysis, and burn. Fainted and Pokérus sometimes use the same position in the user interface for display purposes, but they are not status conditions. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 08:50, 8 January 2019 (UTC)
::::That's more like a personal interpretation that something official, which should be kept out of articles. As far as the game is concerned, Revives have been classified under Status Restore, even though I personally think it belongs under HP Restore, and still sometimes look in the wrong pocket for the Revive. Just because I personally think a Revive better fits an HP Restore, I wouldn't put that in BP because that's just personal interpretation. [[User:TehPerson|TehPerson]] ([[User talk:TehPerson|talk]]) 17:41, 8 January 2019 (UTC)
:::::The point I'm making is that it's confirmed that the "Status Restore" category isn't exclusively a category for items that restore status conditions, so it provides no indication of whether a given status is a status condition or not. FireRed and LeafGreen's help menu gives a fairly clear definition of "Status Problem" (what status conditions were called at the time).
<blockquote><ab>Status problems include:
Sleep: Can't use moves.
Poison: Causes steady HP loss.
Paralysis: May prevent moves.
Burn: HP loss and lowers ATTACK.
Freeze: Can't use moves.
These can be healed with items, etc.</ab></blockquote>
:::::There are plenty of other cases make it pretty clear that fainting is not a status condition. The descriptions of {{m|Safeguard}}, [[Full Heal]], [[Full Restore]], etc. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 11:20, 9 January 2019 (UTC)
:::::And the [https://www.pokemon.com/us/play-pokemon/about/video-game-glossary/#terrain glossary on the official Pokémon site] leaves no doubt in the matter:
:::::Medicine: "''Medicine refers to items that you'll find in the Medicine Pocket of your Bag. These include items to heal HP or PP, such as Potions and Elixirs, items that boost stats or levels, such as vitamins and Rare Candy, and items that help Pokémon recover from '''status conditions or fainting''', such as Antidotes and Revives. If they can be used during battle, it takes one turn.''" --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 11:23, 9 January 2019 (UTC)

==Trivia==
===Origin===
"XXXXX" is the word associated with Unown X in the [[Unown Mode]]. {{m|Hidden Power}} is a [[move]] in the [[Pokémon games]] that {{p|Unown}} can learn. This card's [[Pokédex]] entry comes from {{game|Crystal}}, though it is heavily reworded in English.
