Dragon Master: The article seemed to have been somewhat deleted, leaving only the diamond and pearl section..

{{incomplete}}

[[User:MisterE13/Sandbox|Here]], I figured out a little something that will work a little better. Sorry about that and thaks for everuthing.--[[User:MisterE13|Mister]][[User talk:MisterE13|'''E''']][[Special:Contributions/MisterE13|13]] 18:48, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
:Done. —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 22:52, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
::Some new stuff on there now, got rid of some redirects and added Rotom and Castform clauses. BTW, yes I had made one final mistake on the Infobox which is now fixed in my Sandbox I'm 100% sure it will work now though (and Shaymin's page will be perfect{{tt|.|Muhahaha}})--[[User:MisterE13|Mister]][[User talk:MisterE13|'''E''']][[Special:Contributions/MisterE13|13]] 01:01, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
:::Which new stuff am I supposed to install? —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 03:13, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
::::Everything, its kind-of scattered in the first two so I suppose you could copy/paste. If that's no good, most of it was just redirect-avoiding (which I do believe is good). Other than that, it was just Rotom, Castform (and a slight Burmy) clauses.--[[User:MisterE13|Mister]][[User talk:MisterE13|'''E''']][[Special:Contributions/MisterE13|13]] 03:17, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
:::::Query: What do the "improvements" actually do? Just sprite altering? —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 03:25, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
::::::A lot of redirects to [[Forme differences]] are avoided (don't know if that's as important as I think it is), putting in 412 automatically inserts a little "Plant Cloak" (for Burmy), the TM one now allows for Rotom (complete with sprites and "Forme differences" links) and they both allow for Castform (links only, obviously). That's pretty much it I think.--[[User:MisterE13|Mister]][[User talk:MisterE13|'''E''']][[Special:Contributions/MisterE13|13]] 03:41, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

== Books ==

Hey Trom, should we start making articles about the Pokémon books? A couple I can name of the top of my head are: Pokémon pop quiz by Carli Entin, and Attack of the prehistoric Pokémon by Tracey West. Actually, could we just make it a project? I could put together a list before you decided if you want. Thanks Trom! -[[User:MasterKenobi|MasterKenobi]] 03:43, 2 July 2009 (UTC)
:Yeah, definitely go ahead with that. I wouldn't suggest a full-flown project just yet, but maybe we can organise something more formal once some work has actually been done. Tracey West doesn't even have an article yet, so that may be a good place to start. I've read a few of her novelizations (but don't own any), and recall a bibliography on the back. And of course, the internet may be a good resource as well. —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 07:36, 2 July 2009 (UTC)
::[http://www.traceywest.com/biography.html This] and [http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&safe=off&client=safari&rls=en-us&q=tracey+west+biography&revid=1279369419&ei=_mZMSvfoCYbyMcvY1PYD&sa=X&oi=revisions_inline&resnum=0&ct=broad-revision&cd=4 this] look like a good place to start. I will help with the project if it's created. *wishing I still had all of the books I had by her* --[[Gallade|'''エ''']][[User:Galladeon|'''ルレ''']][[User talk:Galladeon|'''イ''''''ド''']] 07:54, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

OK, thanks Trom. I can probably get my hands on a couple of the books but will start out with just a list of to-do stuff. Thanks again, and get yourself some sleep! –[[User:MasterKenobi|MasterKenobi]] 16:36, 2 July 2009 (UTC)
:Trom, I made a [[User:MasterKenobi/Project Books/To-do list| To-do list]] and have quite a bit more to add. I think, that I could probably make a project out of this if I get an OK. Here is the first book article, [[Island of the Giant Pokémon (book)]] but, I think to make it look a bit better we could use a template that includes the title, book cover image, pages, publication date, ISBN # (This one I think isn't really needed), and publisher. For the series books though we could make it like the anime or the manga where it links to the book before it and after it. -[[User:MasterKenobi|MasterKenobi]] 19:22, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

== Quick question ==

Do you know how to link directly to a category on a userpage without it getting included and making it appear? I'm trying to extend list of (non talk) pages I've created on my userpage, but it won't show the category pages. --[[Gallade|'''エ''']][[User:Galladeon|'''ルレ''']][[User talk:Galladeon|'''イ''''''ド''']] 08:37, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

== A Question ==

Three things (not all questions). First, how do you use special characters in the search boxes? Second, one of the pictures on your userpage doesn't display. Third, if there is supposed to be a Haunter pic on this page its not working and just says purplehaunter.png or something like that.--[[User:Swampert rox|Swampert rox]] 16:39, 3 July 2009 (UTC)
:The images are your problem, not mine. They all display for me. Try clearing your browser cache (Ctrl+F5). If, by special characters you mean the e-acute (é) you can either copy-paste from somewhere else, or you can type Alt+130. These can all be found in the character map for Windows. If you're on a Mac, I can't help you with that. There's probably a list on the internet of every special character ever created and the accompanying codes. —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 02:49, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
::For Mac: The é is option-e-e. I use it all the time. Other symbols can be gotten by other option- combinations. All the letter keys plus have special chars. --[[Gallade|'''エ''']][[User:Galladeon|'''ルレ''']][[User talk:Galladeon|'''イ''''''ド''']] 03:03, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
:::If you mean Alt + 1 + 3 + 0, it doesn't work. If that's not what you meant, what do I type?--[[User:Swampert rox|Swampert rox]] 21:19, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
::::I think he means to hold the Alt key and type 130 in that order, not all at once. I've never tried that method, though. --[[Gallade|'''エ''']][[User:Galladeon|'''ルレ''']][[User talk:Galladeon|'''イ''''''ド''']] 21:22, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
:::::Doesn't work (or do anything whatsoever).--[[User:Swampert rox|Swampert rox]] 14:58, 5 July 2009 (UTC)
::::::Then something's up with your computer. I'd love to fix it, but... um.... yeah..... —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 05:18, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
:::::::Alt+0233 can be used as an alternative for the e-acute. '''~ [[User:Sol|sol]][[User talk:Sol|ar]][[Special:Contributions/Sol|is]]''' 05:20, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
::::::::You have to use the numberpad to type the numbers, not the row at the top of the keyboard. If you are using a laptop which doesn't have a numberpad then you can buy a usb one quite cheaply, or just cope with the redirects that should have been created. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] 05:37, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
:::::::::Most laptops have an Fn key anyway, which activates keys differently. It's what I use: I gotta hold Fn and Alt and hit jlm. é. Happy daaaaay! '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 06:08, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
::::::::::That doesn't work for me either. Is there any alternative way for a laptop?--[[User:Swampert rox|Swampert rox]] 11:49, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

== Sorry again ==

Did I apologize for my behavior. I had not realized that I could not make other changes. I do not speak English well and I find it difficult to understand at times. Sorry again for my ignorance. --[[User:Brendon|Brendon]] 8.35, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

== yukushi wisdom ==
Thanks for your help. Actually, since I don't edit much in Bulbapedia, I was considering canceling my account. That's why I was editing. I didn't realise that I was doing it in my fake name lol but anyways thaks for everything. {{SUBST:User:Uxie wisdom/sig}} 23:57, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
:Accounts can't be canceled, unfortunately. Just go away and never come back :P If you want those subpages you blanked deleted, I can handle that for you. —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 01:07, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

== Slight problem ==

Well, it's not really a problem but, Trombony, I might need an option of no image (in which cse we might wanna colspan it). See [[Cissy]] to get what I mean. Many thanks. --[[User:ElectAbuzzzz|'''electAbuzz''']][[User talk:ElectAbuzzzz|'''z''']][[Special:Contributions/ElectAbuzzzz|'''z''']] 00:23, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
:It shouldn't be too hard to get an image. I'll dig around, watch the episode and get good screenshots. —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 01:58, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
::Yes, of course we can get the image. But the template is gonna be in a much wider use, and we're gonna have a lot of similar cases... But yeah, it's not too bad, just leaves some whitespace. --[[User:ElectAbuzzzz|'''electAbuzz''']][[User talk:ElectAbuzzzz|'''z''']][[Special:Contributions/ElectAbuzzzz|'''z''']] 10:21, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
::Well I see that that's already fixed, but a few other things (sorry I'm being difficult, but I demand perfection :)), when you get the time: first, there's the subject of nicknamed Pokémon, like [[Ritchie]]'s. I don't want the image caption to read "Ritchie's Sparky", I want it to read "Sparky", and the same for the main article link.
::Second: Apparently I need the number of "="s on the section headers to be changeable. In most articles it should be the way you did it, but in some I need it to be one level lower.
::Last but not least - check what happens if someone clicks the "edit" link in one of the sections... Is that supposed to be like that? --[[User:ElectAbuzzzz|'''electAbuzz''']][[User talk:ElectAbuzzzz|'''z''']][[Special:Contributions/ElectAbuzzzz|'''z''']] 11:25, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
::: *clicks edit* woah! Yeah, not good. We can fix that with a NOEDITSECTION magicword. We can set the image to default as noimage; although imageneeded may be better than a white gap. I'll add an optional parameter such as {{{nick}}}, which should hopefully override the current hovercaption formatting. There can also be optional parameters for lower headings. Can you show me an example of where that would be in place? It won't help the construction of the template; I'm just curious. :P
:::You probably didn't understand a word of that. Probably because I made up most of the terminology. Lol.

::::Yeah, the reason I'm writing to you here is because we keep missing each other on AIM lately, and I figured it's best to let you know... So, here we go:
::::# The way you just canceled the section headers is no good. The reason I wanted section headers is because [[Casey's Elekid]], [[Drew's Absol]], etc, redirect to that specific Pokémon in the template. Get it? So put back the sectionheaders with that nice magicword of yours, please.
::::# Seems like {{u|Sol}} took care of the image thing for now.
::::# The {{{nick}}} parameter sounds great. Do it.
::::# Lower heading would come in case that the character exists in more than one media, AND has Pokémon not on hand. Why? Because then the headings go: <nowiki>==In the anime==, ===Pokémon===, ====On hand====,</nowiki> and just THEN the Pokémon should be. {{Gary}} is the best example I can think of right now.

Please be a bit more careful when trying to turn articles into redirects.

== Pokémon Black Market ==

If the article was full of speculation and all that, then slap a cleanup tag on it instead of deleting it! The Pokémon Black Market is a factual part of the Pokémon universe and thus is worthy of its own article. Could you restore it, please? [[User:Missingno. Master|Missingno. Master]] wants YOU! [[User:Missingno. Master/The Order of the Glitch/Bulbapedia Branch|Join the Order of the Glitch!]] [[User talk: Missingno. Master|(my talk page)]] 23:28, 26 July 2009 (UTC)
:They'd be nothing left if all the speculation was removed. All you'd have left to say would be "The Pokémon black market is a black market for Pokémon which was talked about in DPxyz." I don't consider that to be article-worthy. —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 23:29, 26 July 2009 (UTC)
::There's also the fact about Snorunt being worth top dollar on it. Besides, it's not like the speculation in question was baseless. If Glalie was worth as much as or more than Snorunt on the market, the hunter would've just sold his own Glalie, rather than going to the trouble of snatching Snorunt. If Carnivine, Yanmega, Pikachu, Chimchar, or Buneary were worth as much as or more than Snorunt, then the hunter would've tried to take them as well. If anything, that could be confined to a trivia section. Plus, there's [[Dustox Flower Field|much worse]] in the way of stubs. [[User:Missingno. Master|Missingno. Master]] wants YOU!

:::I didn't say it wasn't baseless; in fact I think they are perfectly reasonable assumptions. However, they remain just that. Perhaps the hunter hadn't realised that he could have sold Glalie, or perhaps he was sentimentally attached to it, or perhaps he just got a thrill from stealing Pokémon. These things are as unknown as the conclusions you have jumped to. If the information about Snorunt isn't mentioned on {{p|Snorunt|this page}} I'd suggest putting them there.

:I've been working on compiling a list similar to the one near the bottom of, say {{t|Rock|this page}}, for contests. It's largely incomplete and in [[User:{{BASEPAGENAME}}/Hell|a sandbox]].

I was wondering why some Pokémon pages auto-forward, and some don't. Help?
--[[User:FromCrimsonToWool|FromCrimsonToWool]] 03:07, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
:We call it ''redirecting''. If a Pokémon exists in another media, typically the anime (e.g. [[Ash's Pikachu]]) or manga (e.g. [[Poochyena (CCP)]]), the page doesn't redirect and serves as a ''disambiguation''. This is done because if someone searches for, say, Bulbasaur, they may be looking for {{OP|Ash|Bulbasaur}}, {{OP|May|Bulbasaur}}, [[Saur|one from the manga]], or simply the {{p|Bulbasaur|species}}. Think of it as kind of a signpost. Not all Pokémon are special enough though (e.g. [[Paras]]), so they don't have the disambiguation page as searchers will clearly be looking for the article about the species. —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 03:13, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

:Generally if a Trainer's Pokémon has an article, the Pokémon page gets disambiguated. This is our system, and this is how it's worked for a couple of years.

Fishing

2009-08-04T12:07:16Z

Dragon Master: /* Image:Good Rod sprite.png Good Rod */

'''Fishing''' is a recreation that is commonly seen in the [[Pokémon world]].

== In the games ==
Fishing is one way to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} [[Pokémon]] in the water. In fact, some Pokémon can only be caught by using a fishing rod. There are three fishing rods that are given out throughout the course of each [[Pokémon games|game]], and each one is given out by a [[Fishing Brothers|Fishing Brother]].

===Equipment===
====[[Image:Old Rod sprite.png]] Old Rod====
An '''Old Rod''' is used to catch weak {{type2|Water}} [[Pokémon]], which usually means only low-[[level]] {{p|Magikarp}}. In the [[Generation I]] games and their [[Generation III]] remakes, it is given out by a Fishing Guru who can be found in a house next to the [[Pokémon Center]] in [[Vermilion City]]. In the [[Generation II]] games, he can be found in the Pokémon Center on [[Route 32]]. In the [[Generation III]] games, he is near the [[Gym]] in [[Dewford Town]]. In the [[Generation IV]] games, players can obtain an Old Rod from a fisherman in the house than connects [[Jubilife City]] to [[Route 218]].

====[[Image:Good Rod sprite.png]] Good Rod====
A '''Good Rod''' is used to catch {{t|Water}}-type [[Pokémon]]. It is an upgrade of the Old Rod. In the [[Generation I]] games and their [[Generation III]] remakes, it is given out by a Fishing Guru in a house in [[Fuchsia City]]. In the [[Generation II]] games, he can be found in [[Olivine City]]. In the [[Generation III]] games, he is on [[Route 118]]. In the [[Generation IV]] games, there is a fisherman on [[Route 209]] with the Good Rod.

====[[Image:Super Rod sprite.png]] Super Rod====
A '''Super Rod''' is an [[item]] used to catch strong {{t|Water}}-type [[Pokémon]]. It is an upgrade of both the Old Rod and Good Rod, and can be used to catch high-[[level]] Pokémon like {{p|Poliwhirl}} and {{p|Gyarados}}. In the [[Generation I]] games and their [[Generation III]] remakes, as well as in the [[Generation II]] games, the Super Rod's Guru can be found in a house on [[Silence Bridge]]. In the Generation III games, he is in a house by the [[Mossdeep Space Center]]. In the [[Generation IV]] games, the Super Rod is only obtainable after player obtains the [[National Dex]], from a fisherman in the [[Fight Area]].

===Catching Pokémon===
In [[Generation I]] and {{gen|II}}, fishing is simply a matter of standing next to water and using the rod. Sometimes it will hook a Pokémon, and start a {{pkmn|battle}}. Other times, it will catch nothing. There is a random chance of either happening, so if the rod catches nothing, players can feel free to cast it out again.

====Generation III====
Starting with [[Generation III]], fishing became more complicated, as the player would have to pay attention and confirm as soon as the rod hooked a Pokémon, or else it would get away. In {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, this required a series of confirmations to reel in better Pokémon. [[Generation III]] also introduced the ability for trainers to fish off the back of a {{m|Surf}}ing Pokémon, which may be required to catch [[Feebas (Pokémon)|Feebas]].

====Generation IV====
In [[Generation IV]], the player would use the rod, and an exclamation mark-like sign would pop up above the player, noting that they should push the A button to start the battle with the Pokémon they've encountered.

== In the anime ==

Numerous episodes of the [[Pokémon anime|anime]] have featured the group fishing.

At the [[Kanto Safari Zone|Safari Zone]], a fishing rod is distributed with the [[Poké Ball|Safari Balls]].

Rather than using bait, lures with Pokémon designs are used. The fisherman in ''[[AG075|Whiscash and Ash]]'' believed that the secret to catching the {{p|Whiscash}} he was looking for was finding the right lure. [[Misty]] has a collection of lures, including a {{TP|Misty|special lure}} based on herself that she believes is the best. She sent it to Ash as a gift in ''[[AG186|The Unbeatable Lightness of Seeing]]''. Ash used this lure in ''[[DP034|Buizel Your Way Out of This]]'' to try and catch a powerful {{AP|Buizel}}.

== Trivia ==
*In Generation I, it is possible to fish at the bottom of a statue in most gyms (except for [[Saffron Gym]] or [[Cinnabar Gym]]) or any room in the Elite Four. However, when using the Super Rod in any gym other than [[Cerulean Gym]], the game will say "Looks like there's nothing here."
*Generations II and IV are the only generations in which it is impossible to get the Super Rod before beating the [[Elite Four]].

== Yellow Trainer Sprites ==

There is an extremely lack of Yellow non-species sprites both in the archives and in usage throughout the Internet. As I searched google, I could not find one site with the unique Yellow Trainer sprites. That being said, I have whipped back out my Yellow ROM and am capturing Trainer sprites, removing backgrounds with Pixen, and saving them as PNGs to upload onto Archives so that we can have the Yellow Trainers. For example, Brock looks different in Yellow than in RGB, GSC, or FRLG (though the second two sets are a bit obvious). The GSC Red and GSC Blue sprites are based upon the Yellow sprites, but the colours are different. Jessie and James are ONLY in Yellow. These sprites should be here, but they're not. So I'm taking the liberty of joining Project CharacterDex to sprite out Yellow's trainers. [[User:Kumori Satosuke|Satosuke]] 19:00, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

== Guide for Character Articles ==

I suggest there should be some sort of guide on the project page on how to write, order and format Character articles to keep them all looking neat and consistent. I've noticed a lot of the articles I've edited, that the Headings are often not all in the same order: sometimes "In the animes" is before "In the games", otherwise after; or Names is put subheading under Trivia... I can never tell what is correct. However, if there already is an existing guide somewhere, please tell me where.-–<×vVvvv [[User talk:S1tHSL4y3r|τλικ]] to [[User:S1tHSL4y3r|ς1tHςι4γ3r]] ^^vVv×>–- 06:15, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

== Can I join ==

I would like to join your project,Please.([[User:DAWN FAN|dumdum king]] 19:44, 23 December 2008 (UTC))

== Um... ==

You can't really have this template on a talk page for reasons shown below--[[User:Pokemonguy1|Pokemonguy1]] [[User talk:Pokemonguy1|Pikachu!]] 05:54, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
*anyone who adds a new section will add it onto empty space
*Templates are hard to maintain on talk pages

== Two questions: content order and missing character ==

So I was browsing Team Magma and Aqua character articles, and I see that Maxie's headers go Game, then Anime, and Archie's go Anime, then Game. Maxie's seemed far more appeasing with that order, so I wound up switching Archie's headers, and I think it's better for it. So why /isn't/ the default that Games come before Anime?

Sure, the old argument is "people are looking for the anime sections first" but I don't think that's true. Nor calculable. In some cases, where the templates for the game characters get incredibly out of hand (rivals), it's easier to put the anime section on top; otherwise, it would get lost among the tables and load-time. Except load-time won't make a difference: either you're stuck waiting for it to load so you can scroll twice/thrice, or hit END and scroll up a few times, so it's also not about lag.

I do think game characters (for those that can) should have their game biographies before their anime one. It's the natural order, in most cases. Games precede anime, and both precede manga.

Also, didn't we have an article for the "tip giver" guy found in every gym? I swore we did. Was it deleted? [[User:ArcToraphim|Luna Tiger]] * [[User talk:ArcToraphim|the Arc Toraph]] 03:29, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
:I've always wondered that. For game characters who appear in the anime, they appeared in the game first, so we should put it that way in the article. And that guy is called the [[caretaker]]. He has an article. It's not quite orphaned, but not many pages link to it. — [[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|THE TROM]] — 03:35, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

::For the headers, it doesn't really matter what order. Just that they're all the same.

::After two edit conflicts, my say. Personally, it honestly doesn't matter to me. But if it has to be consistent with all other pages, I'd go with anime, games, and manga like it is already. But for cases of rivals or anything with long sections, I'd put anime before the games. However, they'd also have to be consistent, so rivals or other pages with long sections get that treatment only. All other pages, I'd say anime, games and manga if applicable. If someone complains about it, I'll try to compromise. Plus there's a navigation bar for sections long sections like that so if they're not happy they can use that. They'd be better and more helpful for that. --[[User:PsychicRider|'''Psychic''']][[User talk:PsychicRider|'''Rider''']]''''[[Special:Contributions/PsychicRider|'''☮''']]'' 03:54, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

Dragon Master: /* Idea */

{{User:TTEchidna/Archive}}
Can we keep this until August? Maybe all summer? Don't make me archive this so soon...

==Concern==
Should we have the trainers on the Route pages have more information like giving the Pokémon the moves they use? Or would it be bad?
Pros:
*Gives people more information
*Completes the Route more
Cons:
*Tables slow the server
*Makes Bulbapedia more like a guide.
Should I find the moves of the Pokémon and such or leave it be? [[User:Pyles|Pyles]] 19:00, 1 June 2009 (UTC)
:No, there's no need for ''every'' Trainer in every article that includes Trainers to have the moves known by their Pokémon. The major Trainers only should have that displayed, since they're like boss battles. You don't include information on every attack from the little enemies in other games every place they appear, and so likewise, you don't for the non-major Trainers. Rivals, Gym Leaders, Elite Four, Frontier Brains, Champions, and evil team major members get that. Basically, any Trainer that has a battle and overworld sprite specific to themselves.

So for the new party templates, which should we use for Silver? I’m probably gonna use the SoulSilver like his old templates are silver, but I want your opinion on it. They currently, without the updated sprites and everything, look like this:

== Infobox hack requests ==

I know that I'm asking for updates on two infoboxes for a Pokémon product that has just been discontinued, but trust me, I know you wouldn't intentionally leave an infobox behind in getting update treatment. The infoboxes in question are {{template|TFG Figure Infobox}} and {{template|TFG Card Infobox}}. I tried hacking them into the newer style myself, but found it too complicated. Since you're the master template hacker, is it too difficult for you to handle? Thanks. --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 23:46, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

*How much, since I'm readying the templates for HGSS, I can edit it per day. I've kept it below the borderline of 4 so far, but I've needed to get off and on frequently, and I'm trying to get these done {{tt|ASAP|I'll be gone for a month and a half without a computer to work on and won't get back till mid or late August}} so I have time to do the party templates for other pages.
*Would it be possible for me to make as many edits as I needed to if I move the templates to a specific page for only them?
*Could you eventually lock all of the GenII Kanto and the Johto gym leaders' pages, along with Silver's and the E4/Lance's pages so that people don't try to add crappy templates and mess up the coding already there?

A looooong time back (December, 2007) you made a large group of edits to different pages about berries. You did a lot of reformatting, organized it more, and added some new info. Among the places to obtain the berries (under Gen. III) you put the pickup ability for a lot - if not all - of them. You put Emerald and FR/LG for a lot.

== Game character naming policy ==

I understand the naming issues with chracters (across game, anime and manga etc.) and was writting up a local list myself to consolidate the links between each for quicker reference.

I realised there wasn't really a set explanation of a consistant method for game character naming used on Bulbapedia. I also checked for a policy on this and was suprised to not see one.

Looking over the talk pages, i see mention of different methods such as default names and/or [[Talk:Leaf_(game)|hidden data trainers]] that have been used to name the game characters over the generations. This seems rather inconsistant and without much public explanation for review and confirmation.

I'm unsure as to where a specific default name is obtained, especially in cases where the default name is not in the list of default names on the game (namely brendan, may, lucas and dawn). It was hinted it was by not entering a name (for player/rival), but the player list picks one at random, where as the rival is the first name on the list. Both lists differ by version though, so it's not possible to use those lists for naming of the characters (Tested with Fire Red only tbh).
The lack of recording these '''hidden''' default names in the articles makes the names seem like unfoudned claimes and lacking citation.

I propose these names be recorded with some note on how they're obtained in the MoS or something. It would be a great help and any explanation is appericiated.
--[[User:Zeal|'''Zeal''']] [[User talk:Zeal|T]] / [[Special:Contributions/Zeal|C]] 02:16, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
:Most of it can be checked on the specific talk pages. We shouldn't need to put an explanation on every danged article about where we got the names, most especially since they're well known. The main problem that comes up is when fans come up with "LOL WHY LEEF WHY NOT GREEN *move move move*" No one just accepts that despite being a fansite we do check stuff over before naming things. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 03:51, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

::The problem is in most cases the information isn't on the talk pages. I'm not asking for an explanation on every page, just an explanation in the MoS or policies.

::You say they're well known, when the only evidence i see for that is the bulbapedia articles themselves who have made them well known. I'm not trying to suggest you're putting up false information either, but i am saying that the methods you've chosen for naming appear to be arbitrary without any evidence to show how the names are chosen (as well as the the differing methods).
::The nature of a wiki generally doesn't allow something like that, so i'm shocked this is considered an exception. It makes it near impossible to use your naming in any legitmate work without the explanations as there's no way to confirm the research, which is where i'm having trouble.

::If anything Leaf is the one i find easiest to believe, as it's roughly explained. It's pretty much all the others i'm having issues with.
::I can only guess it started out with the first name on the default list for players from first version (Red, Gold) is chosen for the male player character and the same for the rival list (as it's always the opposite), resulting the the third always the female, which seems fitting for back then. But starting with RSE, the names you've chosen aren't even in the default name lists and without explanation, so those names are seemingly pulled out of thin air without explanation or a reference to where they're from.

::::::Not "exactly". He's not a character with a customisable name. The "official" game names are nothing more than fans using various methods to determine what they think their intended names are until an official one is given elsewhere (and for my purposes, i need to seperate incarnation where they are different). The fact that a set name actually being given is a rarity for these characters is why when names are actually given, it should be noted as such. The anime characters are not even the same, so no point trying to use that as a source even if the given names do end up matching.

::::::It would seem you're still not getting the fact that "because we say so" is not good enough. It's expected of an encyclopedic wiki to provide references and explanation for others to refer to and research themselves. When something is arbitrary but needs to be set for the purpose of the wiki (fan info due to lack of official), that usually falls into the realm of policy to set the precedent for people to follow and/or make note of the variation. It's something i've delt with extensively on WoWWiki, yet Bulbapedia does nethier right now. If you feel that's not the job of the wiki, then nevermind, as i must be banging my head against the wall.

::::::Thanks again for the help Ultimate Sephiroth.

==Usernames==
I was wondering if I could create a few other accounts with usernames by which I am popularly known on other wikis/Pokémon sites? Not for use in editing, but to minimize the chance of being impersonated. The reason I’m asking beforehand is because I saw a rash of account creation by vandals a week or so back and I don’t want to be accused of attempting sockpuppetry. If allowed to create them, I have no intention of editing from the other accounts. 
Also, I was thinking of outright changing my username, and I’m told that the way to do so is by asking you... {{tt|I haven’t picked yet|I expect you don’t really care one way or the other, but if you do, the advice is welcome. Leading candidates include LaprasBoi, my most common name on Pokémon sites, & WikidPoké, a combination of my Pokémon and “Wikid”, a prefix I often use for wiki usernames, derived from “wiki” and the local( Boston) slang “wicked”.

== I keep getting this error... ==

I keep getting this error and I didn't know who to come too, it's not... super bad, but it's incredibly annoying. Every time I try too edit, it comes up with a message saying "''Sorry! We could not process your edit due to a loss of session data. Please try again. If it still does not work, try logging out and logging back in.''", now this wouldn't bother me, if it only came up once, but I have too keep clicking the submit button over and over and over... usually for over five or six times until the edit submits.
I was wondering what it was about, and is there anyway anyone can stop this from coming up...? Oh and also, the message also came up as I was trying to post this on your talk page... *sighs* [[User:Takoto|~~Takoto]] - [[User_talk:Takoto|サソデイ]] 20:59, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

:Because. They were of the ''towns where the locations were'', rather than the locations themselves. The entirety of Ecruteak was highlighted for both Tin and Brass Towers. Don't worry. When HGSS comes out, the maps will be done. There's no urgency. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 04:27, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

Oh, ok i only was wondering, that map is really cool, you are the best! [[User:Mario136|Mario136]] 05:08, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
:The Johto map is very interesting, but at this point I think it's still too early to implement it into the route pages... Especially considering that there might be two different styles of it, like there was for Sinnoh's map in DPPt and Kanto's in FRLG. The Pokédex distribution map might be a better fit (considering the new Johto map doesn't fit with the previous maps at all, what with those blobs they call cities)...

I was wondering if we should have an article on [http://pokemonx.comicgenesis.com/index.html Pokémon-X], its fairly popular, and long running.

There's a problem... it's too busy right now. Will this problem fix itself, or will this continue, like some of the other server problems that have been here as of late?

:The forum server seems to be working fine from this end. If you mean the server that Bulbapedia itself is on, yes, that's been running slow as of late, and its 503 errors are due to it trying to pass off your session to the other server (which the forums, Archives, and News are on) and then it doesn't work because you don't have a session on the other server.

== Reversion ==
Hello. I just wanted to ask why my contributions to the [[Pokémon Controversy]] page were all reverted. All I did was label anti-Semitic accusations in Saudi Arabia concerning Pokemon as 'anti-Semitic' (which is accurate) and comment that since Satoshi Tajiri took 6 years to make the first Pocket Monsters games, [[Rougela]]'s design would have predated Ganguro Fashion, as pointed out by Dogasu. (which is also accurate) Why were the edits I made ALL removed? I hope this doesn't come off sounding like a complaint/demand/rant; I'm just curious as to why everything I put down, although perfectly accurate, was reverted. --[[User talk:Kamikarasu|Kamikarasu]] 09:32, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
:Beats me. You know Saudi Arabia, their government's crazy; everything's a threat to crazy religious people with a grip on their people through the religion. And second of all... keep in mind that the six years doesn't mean that necessarily all 151 came into being at once and were then programmed in... All of those late-dex non-evolvers in Gen I make me imagine that they came into play quite late.

== [[Pearl (game)]] ==

I call for main admin's initiative here. It's about the naming of [[Pearl (game)]]. There is really nothing that says that his "official" name is "Pearl". The only reason why the page is titled "Pearl (game)" is an unreasoned move by one of admins. Inf act, the name which seems to be the most relevant is "Barry". I'm calling for your help here. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 16:09, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
:I'm almost to the point of agreeing with you here; but something does tell me that Pearl won't be the only one whose page would be moving. I do think a little more than before he should be Barry (game), with Barry moving to Barry (anime), though there's that annoying little issue of Blue (game) possibly moving to Green (game) with HGSS's release as sequels to FRLG, and the fact that like Green, Pearl's anime counterpart uses the first listed name in the primary version as his name.
:And then there's Soul. Now, personally, I'm totally waiting on Special or anime confirmation by them messing with Marina's or Crystal's design, but you have to admit that Soul at the very least looks a lot like Kris, especially when Kris is using Gold's palette in Crystal. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 06:47, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
::Well, Blue/Green depends entirely on the Translators' decision. I personally don't believe in the name retcon theory too much. But I don't know... it's up to them. As for Miki (or Soul, as the article calls her, I'm not proposing a move... yet), I wouldn't say that she looks "a lot" like Kris. We just got used to her design. But of course, it's obvious that Sugimori had Kris in mind when designing her (and not only her, she looks like a blend between Kris, May, Stadium 2 Girl and a ranchgirl, if you ask me). But as long as there is no confirmation of her being the same/different character, I think it's safer to have separate article about her. The move is unavoidable, anyway. We'll have her real name revealed upon HGSS released. But not now. Anyway, it would be funny if the canons contradicted - in Special she would be a redressed Crystal (because of Kusaka's believing in patterns. If he introduced her as "Heart", he would have to introduce some custom character "Soul". And since Emerald, he really avoids creating character [that's why he waited for Platinum to name Berlitz that]) and in the anime she would be a brand new introduced character... But I'm just theorizing, it's far from happening, actually. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 08:33, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

Can we keep this until August? Maybe all summer? Don't make me archive this so soon...

==Concern==
Should we have the trainers on the Route pages have more information like giving the Pokémon the moves they use? Or would it be bad?
Pros:
*Gives people more information
*Completes the Route more
Cons:
*Tables slow the server
*Makes Bulbapedia more like a guide.
Should I find the moves of the Pokémon and such or leave it be? [[User:Pyles|Pyles]] 19:00, 1 June 2009 (UTC)
:No, there's no need for ''every'' Trainer in every article that includes Trainers to have the moves known by their Pokémon. The major Trainers only should have that displayed, since they're like boss battles. You don't include information on every attack from the little enemies in other games every place they appear, and so likewise, you don't for the non-major Trainers. Rivals, Gym Leaders, Elite Four, Frontier Brains, Champions, and evil team major members get that. Basically, any Trainer that has a battle and overworld sprite specific to themselves.

*How much, since I'm readying the templates for HGSS, I can edit it per day.

*Would it be possible for me to make as many edits as I needed to if I move the templates to a specific page for only them?
*Could you eventually lock all of the GenII Kanto and the Johto gym leaders' pages, along with Silver's and the E4/Lance's pages so that people don't try to add crappy templates and mess up the coding already there?

== Game character naming policy ==

I understand the naming issues with chracters (across game, anime and manga etc.) and was writting up a local list myself to consolidate the links between each for quicker reference.

I realised there wasn't really a set explanation of a consistant method for game character naming used on Bulbapedia. I also checked for a policy on this and was suprised to not see one.

Looking over the talk pages, i see mention of different methods such as default names and/or [[Talk:Leaf_(game)|hidden data trainers]] that have been used to name the game characters over the generations. This seems rather inconsistant and without much public explanation for review and confirmation.

I'm unsure as to where a specific default name is obtained, especially in cases where the default name is not in the list of default names on the game (namely brendan, may, lucas and dawn). It was hinted it was by not entering a name (for player/rival), but the player list picks one at random, where as the rival is the first name on the list. Both lists differ by version though, so it's not possible to use those lists for naming of the characters (Tested with Fire Red only tbh).
The lack of recording these '''hidden''' default names in the articles makes the names seem like unfoudned claimes and lacking citation.

I propose these names be recorded with some note on how they're obtained in the MoS or something. It would be a great help and any explanation is appericiated.
--[[User:Zeal|'''Zeal''']] [[User talk:Zeal|T]] / [[Special:Contributions/Zeal|C]] 02:16, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
:Most of it can be checked on the specific talk pages. We shouldn't need to put an explanation on every danged article about where we got the names, most especially since they're well known. The main problem that comes up is when fans come up with "LOL WHY LEEF WHY NOT GREEN *move move move*" No one just accepts that despite being a fansite we do check stuff over before naming things. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 03:51, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

::The problem is in most cases the information isn't on the talk pages. I'm not asking for an explanation on every page, just an explanation in the MoS or policies.

::You say they're well known, when the only evidence i see for that is the bulbapedia articles themselves who have made them well known. I'm not trying to suggest you're putting up false information either, but i am saying that the methods you've chosen for naming appear to be arbitrary without any evidence to show how the names are chosen (as well as the the differing methods).
::The nature of a wiki generally doesn't allow something like that, so i'm shocked this is considered an exception. It makes it near impossible to use your naming in any legitmate work without the explanations as there's no way to confirm the research, which is where i'm having trouble.

::If anything Leaf is the one i find easiest to believe, as it's roughly explained. It's pretty much all the others i'm having issues with.
::I can only guess it started out with the first name on the default list for players from first version (Red, Gold) is chosen for the male player character and the same for the rival list (as it's always the opposite), resulting the the third always the female, which seems fitting for back then. But starting with RSE, the names you've chosen aren't even in the default name lists and without explanation, so those names are seemingly pulled out of thin air without explanation or a reference to where they're from.

::::::Not "exactly". He's not a character with a customisable name. The "official" game names are nothing more than fans using various methods to determine what they think their intended names are until an official one is given elsewhere (and for my purposes, i need to seperate incarnation where they are different). The fact that a set name actually being given is a rarity for these characters is why when names are actually given, it should be noted as such. The anime characters are not even the same, so no point trying to use that as a source even if the given names do end up matching.

::::::It would seem you're still not getting the fact that "because we say so" is not good enough. It's expected of an encyclopedic wiki to provide references and explanation for others to refer to and research themselves. When something is arbitrary but needs to be set for the purpose of the wiki (fan info due to lack of official), that usually falls into the realm of policy to set the precedent for people to follow and/or make note of the variation. It's something i've delt with extensively on WoWWiki, yet Bulbapedia does nethier right now. If you feel that's not the job of the wiki, then nevermind, as i must be banging my head against the wall.

==Usernames==
I was wondering if I could create a few other accounts with usernames by which I am popularly known on other wikis/Pokémon sites? Not for use in editing, but to minimize the chance of being impersonated. The reason I’m asking beforehand is because I saw a rash of account creation by vandals a week or so back and I don’t want to be accused of attempting sockpuppetry. If allowed to create them, I have no intention of editing from the other accounts. 
Also, I was thinking of outright changing my username, and I’m told that the way to do so is by asking you... {{tt|I haven’t picked yet|I expect you don’t really care one way or the other, but if you do, the advice is welcome. Leading candidates include LaprasBoi, my most common name on Pokémon sites, & WikidPoké, a combination of my Pokémon and “Wikid”, a prefix I often use for wiki usernames, derived from “wiki” and the local( Boston) slang “wicked”. WikidLaprasBoi covers both, but seems kind of long... I just don’t know.}}, but I wanted to check and see if this is indeed the proper procedure? --LaprasBoi 21:10, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
:Eh, I'd say bad idea to make more accounts to prevent impersonation... but yeah you can change it just by asking. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 02:22, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

Furthermore, the north and south hemispheres have the seasons at different times. Why do we have Snow-cloud in the middle of Summer, Rainy in Fall, Normal in spring, and Sunny in Winter?

Is there any way to put the code for the updated look around the existing tables? '''[[Surf (move)|~~]]''''''[[User:nuva-kal|nuva]]''''''-'''[[User_talk:nuva-kal|'''kal''']] 09:24, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

:::Eh, well, actually, it'd probably be better for there to just be separate templates that do ''almost'' the same but have different spacing and can accept the numbers... sorta like we have both {{template|mlentry4}} and {{template|mtentry4}}. Both do more or less the same thing, but there's different spacing to include other stuff.

Sorry to bug you on this but why do we need to use ''dan''? Dan is just a romanization. The translation of it would be "gang" or "organization". Why can't we say "Rocket Gang"? I'm just curious. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 02:18, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

Hi, let me start with an introduction, as you seem to be the go-to guy around here... I joined bulbapedia yesterday, though my brother used to be a member. I made an account in the hope that I could aid you all in completing the Pokémon encyclopaedia, but alas, I have not yet found anything that I can make, or correct as apparently everyone else here knows about Pokémon in much more depth than I do... (I just play the games a hell of a lot!) :P But, anyway, I just wanted to ask if there were any particular or specific things I should be doing to help you (that i am able to do, of course) ^.^ thanks,

Dragon Master

== Reversion ==
Hello. I just wanted to ask why my contributions to the [[Pokémon Controversy]] page were all reverted. All I did was label anti-Semitic accusations in Saudi Arabia concerning Pokemon as 'anti-Semitic' (which is accurate) and comment that since Satoshi Tajiri took 6 years to make the first Pocket Monsters games, [[Rougela]]'s design would have predated Ganguro Fashion, as pointed out by Dogasu. (which is also accurate) Why were the edits I made ALL removed? I hope this doesn't come off sounding like a complaint/demand/rant; I'm just curious as to why everything I put down, although perfectly accurate, was reverted. --[[User talk:Kamikarasu|Kamikarasu]] 09:32, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
:Beats me. You know Saudi Arabia, their government's crazy; everything's a threat to crazy religious people with a grip on their people through the religion. And second of all... keep in mind that the six years doesn't mean that necessarily all 151 came into being at once and were then programmed in... All of those late-dex non-evolvers in Gen I make me imagine that they came into play quite late.
:I'd talk page it on the article, though. I dunno who killed your edits, since I've not been around (jobs do that to you). They'd be better to ask, though. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 06:52, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

== [[Pearl (game)]] ==

I call for main admin's initiative here. It's about the naming of [[Pearl (game)]]. There is really nothing that says that his "official" name is "Pearl". The only reason why the page is titled "Pearl (game)" is an unreasoned move by one of admins. Inf act, the name which seems to be the most relevant is "Barry". I'm calling for your help here. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 16:09, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
:I'm almost to the point of agreeing with you here; but something does tell me that Pearl won't be the only one whose page would be moving. I do think a little more than before he should be Barry (game), with Barry moving to Barry (anime), though there's that annoying little issue of Blue (game) possibly moving to Green (game) with HGSS's release as sequels to FRLG, and the fact that like Green, Pearl's anime counterpart uses the first listed name in the primary version as his name.
:And then there's Soul. Now, personally, I'm totally waiting on Special or anime confirmation by them messing with Marina's or Crystal's design, but you have to admit that Soul at the very least looks a lot like Kris, especially when Kris is using Gold's palette in Crystal. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 06:47, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
::Well, Blue/Green depends entirely on the Translators' decision. I personally don't believe in the name retcon theory too much. But I don't know... it's up to them. As for Miki (or Soul, as the article calls her, I'm not proposing a move... yet), I wouldn't say that she looks "a lot" like Kris. We just got used to her design. But of course, it's obvious that Sugimori had Kris in mind when designing her (and not only her, she looks like a blend between Kris, May, Stadium 2 Girl and a ranchgirl, if you ask me). But as long as there is no confirmation of her being the same/different character, I think it's safer to have separate article about her. The move is unavoidable, anyway. We'll have her real name revealed upon HGSS released. But not now. Anyway, it would be funny if the canons contradicted - in Special she would be a redressed Crystal (because of Kusaka's believing in patterns. If he introduced her as "Heart", he would have to introduce some custom character "Soul". And since Emerald, he really avoids creating character [that's why he waited for Platinum to name Berlitz that]) and in the anime she would be a brand new introduced character... But I'm just theorizing, it's far from happening, actually. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 08:33, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

== List of Pokémon by Johto Dex number ==

:I'm taking care of it. It's complete, and the obvious is there. Kanto starters/legendaries aren't in Jdex v2.0, the five move-evos of I/II mons are there, and the rest is the same.
:I feel somewhat betrayed, but I should've seen this coming... I didn't cause HGSS, they've planned it since RS. That's why the incenses exist; so that they could, SIX YEARS LATER, remake GSC and keep Azurill and Wynaut out of Johto.

== Idea ==

''I HAVE ALREADY POSTED THIS ON [[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|TROM'S TALK PAGE]] BUT ITS TO WHICHEVER OF YOU READS IT FIRST;''

Since I'm not very good at coding, I thought I could give you an idea; the big list of moves on the List of moves article could possibly be reconstructed on the Contest category article, but with only move name and contest type (without power, accuracy, fughting type, etc.) Do you think that is a good idea and would you be able to do that/find someone to do that? If not I can have a go, but as I say, I'm not very knowledgable in that area. Thanks--[[User:Dragon Master|'''Dragon]]'''[[User talk:Dragon Master|'''Master]]''' 11:20, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

Dragon Master: /* Twinleaf Town */

==Section One: [[Twinleaf Town]] to [[Sandgem Town]]==
[[Image:TwinleafTown.png|thumb|Twinleaf Town]]
==In the Beginning...==
When you first turn on the game,[[Professor Rowan]] comes on and asks if you need any infomation. Then, he talks and asks you to touch the middle circle in the [[Poké Ball]]. After another while, he asks for you name and gender.
*NOTE* You cannot change your gender or name during the game. It is recommended that you choose a gender that in your own. Whether you choose boy or girl, it won't affect gameplay, only what type of bag and clothing you wear.
Now, it's time to jump into the world of Pokémon!
===[[Twinleaf Town]]===
[[Image:Rivallake.PNG|thumb|Your rival takes you to [[Lake Verity]]]]
The journey begins at the player's home in [[Twinleaf Town]]. They are watching the television when a news broadcast describes a team searching for a [[red Gyarados]] in a far-off lake (presumably the [[Lake of Rage]] in [[Johto]]). The broadcast states that the team has not observed the Pokémon in question. The player then leaves the house and is told that the rival wishes to see them. As the player is about to enter the house, the rival bumps into them. The rival first says they will fine the player 1 millions if they aren't there. After speaking, they run back inside because they seem to have forgotten something. The player enters and goes upstairs, where the rival will be standing and deciding what to take. The rival notices the player and says that they would fine the player 10 million if they are late (the rival never even asks for the money later on in the game). After the player speaks to him, the rival will rush down the stairs and wait for them on [[Route 201]].

===[[Lake Verity]]===
[[Image:Profdawnlake.PNG|thumb|Your rival with [[Professor Rowan]]]]
The player and the rival set off for [[Lake Verity]]. Upon their arrival, they see [[Professor Rowan]], although at the time this is unknown, and either {{ga|Lucas}} or {{ga|Dawn}}. The other person with Rowan is the opposite gender of the player's character. The two are discussing the return of Rowan to [[Sinnoh]] after four years. They push past, with Lucas/Dawn apologizing. The rival remarks that the man is intimidating, and then begins to search the lake. Once the rival and player enter the long grass, both are attacked by a wild {{p|Starly}}. The player opens the briefcase to find three [[Poké Ball]]s, containing {{p|Piplup}}, {{p|Chimchar}} and {{p|Turtwig}}. The player chooses one, and the rival selects the one with a type advantage over that one. Suddenly, Lucas/Dawn returns and remarks that Rowan would be very angry if he forgot his briefcase. They then ask the rival and player if they used a Pokémon from the briefcase. After replying, Lucas/Dawn hurries off.

===Return to [[Twinleaf Town]]===
[[Image:Momrunning.PNG|thumb|Getting the [[Running Shoes]] ]]
On the way back to [[Twinleaf Town]], the player meets Lucas/Dawn, along with [[Professor Rowan]], who then takes a look at the Pokémon belonging to the player and rival, then returns back to the lab with her/him.

After that, the player returns to [[Twinleaf Town]]. Mom gives the player a pair of [[Running Shoes]] and asks her child to visit Professor Rowan in [[Sandgem Town]] after taking a rest.

===[[Route 201]]===
[[Image:Firstbattle.PNG|thumb|First Battle]]
The player walks through Route 201 after the rival has reached [[Sandgem Town]]. It is recommended that the player train their Pokémon to a decent level of about seven to nine before proceeding to Sandgem. The two Pokémon available on Route 201 are {{p|Starly}} and {{p|Bidoof}}. At this point, the player is unable to capture any Pokémon.

===[[Sandgem Town]]===
[[Image:Profgivepkmn.PNG|thumb|The professor gives the player the Pokémon]]
[[Image:Sandgem Town1.jpg|thumb|Sandgem Town]]
Upon reaching [[Sandgem Town]], the rival will take the player to [[Professor Rowan]], who gives them and the rival's chosen Pokémon as gifts. After that, it is recommended that the player heal the Pokémon at the [[Pokémon Center]]. Then, visit the largest building in town. As the player is about to enter, the rival zooms out and says that the man isn't as intimidating as he first seemed, then departs for [[Jubilife City]]. After entering the lab, Professor Rowan will give the player a [[Pokédex]] and tell them to collect as many Pokémon as possible. Lucas/Dawn also says that he/she is on a Pokédex quest. Then it's time to depart for Twinleaf Town. Lucas/Dawn will insist that you tell your mom that you are leaving on a journey. After you leave [[Sandgem Town]], Lucas/Dawn will be there waiting to teach you how to catch a Pokémon. Notice that Lucas/Dawn will have the remaining Pokémon out of the briefcase. Then, you shall be given 5 [[Poké Ball]]s from Lucas/Dawn, so be wary of buying some beforehand.
