== Friend Safari locations for Pokemon pages ==

I would really like to know the current status of noting Friend Safari on Pokemon pages. Has there been ''any'' progress since the update you gave two months ago? I'd like some response (from someone...) to my query [[Talk:Friend Safari#Post-Christmas Update on This?|on the Friend Safari talk page]]...

In particular, I want to know if it's actually ''impossible'' to satisfactorily note the Friend Safari, currently, on Pokemon pages. If it can be done, it ''should'' be, whether there's a new template in the works or not. I cannot fathom what a new template might do that the current template couldn't that would make it and only it acceptable for adding the Friend Safari. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 04:46, 14 March 2014 (UTC)
:As much as it should be listed, I believe the consensus is to wait for the new template. No sense doing work twice (I do, however, understand the concern with how long it is taking). Although the new template may appear ready, some staff members have a few concerns with the template. We're pushing this up in the communal to-do list immediately. I'm sorry if I'm not too much help here. I've been out of the game-loop for a while with my focuses elsewhere. ''[[User:Maverick Nate|'''Maverick''']][[User talk:Maverick Nate|'''Nate''']]'' 05:10, 14 March 2014 (UTC)
::Can you direct me to someone I may implore to better effect then? "No sense doing work twice" is not a good reason. It's ''your'' (staff, I suppose) reason. If I could be allowed to add Friend Safari locations (in an acceptable format), I wouldn't care the least bit if, one day in and a quarter of the way through, the new template was approved and staff started inserting the new template, with Friend Safari locations.
::What there's no sense in is keeping the wiki in a decidedly incomplete state when it ''can'' be complete. If staff don't want to do the work twice, let other people who don't mind do it. There should be several people around who would still be willing. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 05:23, 14 March 2014 (UTC)
:::Not doing work over again is ''my'' policy. I was speaking for myself. Not the staff. I run a section with very few users contributing, and I like to make sure any and all help is maximized to the fullest, because I'll never know when it will be available again. I suggest going to either the Head of Games, as it's the game availability template in question, or the Editor in Chief, as the template in question is being worked on by her. I have no power in granting a temporary implementation into a section that isn't the TCG. ''[[User:Maverick Nate|'''Maverick''']][[User talk:Maverick Nate|'''Nate''']]'' 05:32, 14 March 2014 (UTC)

==Name parameter==
What exactly is the "name=" in the cardlist/div for? I noticed it's only been put in -EX listings for XY Series cards. [[User:Glik|glik]][[User talk:Glik|glak]] 04:36, 18 March 2014 (UTC)
:It is supposed to be used on anything with an image in the title of the card. {{TCG|Pokémon SP}}, {{TCG|Pokémon ☆}}, {{TCG|Pokémon-EX}}, etc. The title of each section is treated as an anchor for links, but as images can't very well be in links, there needs to be some way of textifying the names so that links work. The name parameter does this. Ex: [[Blastoise (TCG)#Blastoise-EX]]. These links are used on the card name sections of every card. ''[[User:Maverick Nate|'''Maverick''']][[User talk:Maverick Nate|'''Nate''']]'' 05:02, 18 March 2014 (UTC)
::Ran into a problem with blank {{TCG|Owner's Pokémon}}: the cards' infoboxes seem to link to "#_.27s_(Pokémon)", which I'm assuming translates to " 's (Pokémon)", but putting that in the name parameter doesn't appear to work. Also tried copying the whole ____'s but again, no dice. [[User:Glik|glik]][[User talk:Glik|glak]] 20:08, 21 March 2014 (UTC)

==Coins==
Do the DP and BW theme decks and trainer kits not have an image for their coins for a reason? [[User:Glik|glik]][[User talk:Glik|glak]] 00:02, 9 April 2014 (UTC)
:While in charge, coins weren't something I cared about until recently. So their deck placement just wasn't ever updated. Additionally, our previous coverage on coins isn't as in depth as it needs to be, so it has been taking a lot of research so that we don't have false information spreading across the TCG section. I have a notebook with all the DP and BW coin coverage. I just haven't gotten all the necessary images for it yet. ''[[User:Maverick Nate|'''Maverick''']][[User talk:Maverick Nate|'''Nate''']]'' 00:50, 9 April 2014 (UTC)
::Oh hey, you have a to-do sorta list at the top of the page, why didn't I ever look at that? Any plans on updating it? It'd certainly help me in finding things to do instead of just playing follow the leader. And in case your notes don't have it (and what prompted the question in the first place), {{TCG|Toxic Tricks}} has [[a:File:Coin Reshiram Zekrom white.png|this]] coin. [[User:Glik|glik]][[User talk:Glik|glak]] 03:56, 9 April 2014 (UTC)
:::That's the coin included in {{TCG|Explosive Edge}}: a Regular-sized, Black {{tt|Chrome|Non Holofoil}}, White-backed Reshiram/Zekrom Coin. The coin included in Toxic Tricks is actually a Regular-sized, Gold Rainbow-Mirror Holofoil, Black-backed Reshiram/Zekrom Coin.
:::As for my to-do list, I'll probably update it again sometime. It's just been a while and it will take a bit of double checking to figure out what exactly has been finished since the last time I looked at it. ''[[User:Maverick Nate|'''Maverick''']][[User talk:Maverick Nate|'''Nate''']]'' 04:06, 9 April 2014 (UTC)
::::Gold? If you mean [[a:File:Coin Reshiram and Zekrom.png|this one]], then something's wrong. The one I have is not even remotely that dark of a gold; the Holofoil makes it tricky, but it's a plain chrome/silver or a ''very'' light gold. It's a lot closer to the black chrome one, which is why I thought it was the one. [[User:Glik|glik]][[User talk:Glik|glak]] 04:30, 9 April 2014 (UTC)
:::::That image is an image from the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game Online]], so your confusion is understandable. No Reshiram/Zerkom coin exists that is that deep of a gold color. Everything from Pokemon.com removes holofoil and makes everything a lot trickier. I need to go through BW Coins just like I have been with [[User:Maverick Nate/XY Coins|XY Coins]] and do a lot of chipping away and image replacing in order to make everything as detailed as it needs to be. Getting images is also a bit tricky because Mirror Foil scans terribly. Though, just to make sure, your coin looks closer to [[a:File:BW2 Gold ReshiramZekrom Coin.png|this image I just uploaded]], yes? ''[[User:Maverick Nate|'''Maverick''']][[User talk:Maverick Nate|'''Nate''']]'' 04:41, 9 April 2014 (UTC)
::::::Yeah, that's it. Now I get why you didn't want to spend so much time on coins previously. [[User:Glik|glik]][[User talk:Glik|glak]] 05:08, 9 April 2014 (UTC)
:::::::Yeah, there's just a lot going on with coins. There's a lot of unintentionally misleading/incorrect information to sift through in order to be 100% correct with coins, and it's hard to give undivided attention to them when there is always a new expansion looming in the background.

== Newbie questions about images ==

Hi Maverick, I am new to this project and have a question about uploading an image of a card from the Pokemon TCG to that card's article. I contacted [[User talk:Chosen#Newbie question about images|another user]] and was adviced that I contact an admin listed on the TCG project page. In an article about a specific card from the TCG, should an english version be used for the card image if one is available and is it okay to take that image from a third party site? To be more specific, would it be okay to take [http://www.collectorscache.com/StoreModules/ProductImages/347/moltresex031promo.jpg this image] and replace [[a:File:MoltresexNintendoPromo31.jpg]] in [[Moltres ex (Nintendo Promo 31)]] with it? Furthermore, could I do it, technically, or does my account need to be autoconfirmed first? Regards. [[User:Gengar321|Gengar321]] ([[User talk:Gengar321|talk]]) 20:49, 10 April 2014 (UTC)
:In order to ensure quality of our images, for English cards, we require that they be either from the official site, or scans done on our own. I enjoy your interest in improving the TCG section, it's just bad practice to use other websites' images. We'd have to go through a large process of asking collector's cache for permission to use their card scans, and as their images aren't exactly as large of an improvement as we'd like to see, it's not exactly worth the time and effort to get images we'd have to replace later anyway.
:As for being autoconfirmed, you have to be a user on the Archives for an undetermined amount of time and make a certain amount of edits there in order to upload over images. Hope that helps! ''[[User:Maverick Nate|'''Maverick''']][[User talk:Maverick Nate|'''Nate''']]'' 21:53, 10 April 2014 (UTC)
::Thanks for the information. Since I don't own a copy of the card myself and an image of the card doesn't seem to be available on any official site, it's difficult to get a scan image of the english card. [[User:Gengar321|Gengar321]] ([[User talk:Gengar321|talk]]) 11:51, 13 April 2014 (UTC)

==Merch Gallery and Things==
Seems we don't have the Japanese boosters and some English boosters for the HGSS Series, as well the {{TCG|Call of Legends}} boosters. While I was looking through the Archives for them, I noticed unused expansion artwork and booster boxes. Should I start incorporating the official artwork into the article like on {{TCG|Unleashed}} and should the booster boxes be used in the gallery sections?

I also left you a message on the Archives about card scans. [[User:Glik|glik]][[User talk:Glik|glak]] 23:38, 22 April 2014 (UTC)
:No to the booster boxes. As for the artwork, I really only added those into the body of the information section when the actual text references them. The images would be out of place if there's no real reason to be shown outside of "hey look at this". There are better places for that.

== Article mainspacing stuff ==

What happened with [http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/f195/candidates-merging-moving-mainspacing-splitting-discussion-thread-114138/ this thread]? I haven't seen any posts about other articles on here needing attention since February and the fact that a few of the recent discussed articles weren't resolved or anything. [[User:Pattyman|Patty]][[User talk:Pattyman|Man]] 04:23, 27 April 2014 (UTC)
:A change in the leadership means a change in certain practices on the wiki. The thread is no longer going to be used, and the pages left needing attention will be addressed in other ways. ''[[User:Maverick Nate|'''Maverick''']][[User talk:Maverick Nate|'''Nate''']]'' 06:12, 27 April 2014 (UTC)

== Brilliant Thunder Coin ==

Here is the Brilliant Thunder coin you asked for. Looks like its the Mega-Charizard coin from the Japanese half deck.

== "First introduced" ==

I'm not interested in beating a dead horse if you're not interested in changing your mind, but for the record, "first originating in" is exactly as redundant as "first introduced" for the same reason I mentioned in my edit summary. That's all; I'll leave TCG stuff alone now. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 05:14, 12 May 2014 (UTC)
:False. It is NOT redundant, and I will explain why. The placement/omission of the word "fist" when talking about release information has a very specific consequence of meaning. ''First'' is always included when a card has more than one print (which is pretty much every card, except for non-reprinted unreleased Japanese cards, and yet-to-be-released-in-Japan English cards...with one exception, which will be detailed out later). A statement saying "first introduced" or "first released" should '''always''' be used on cards that were first released in English before they were released in Japanese: {{TCG|Boundaries Crossed}} {{TCG ID|Boundaries Crossed|Black Kyurem|100}}, {{TCG|EX Sandstorm}} {{TCG ID|EX Sandstorm|Anorith|28}}. On the flip side, "first originating in" is specifically for cards that were released in English (our highest priority as an English wiki), that first originated in a Japanese expansion: {{TCG|Dark Explorers}} {{TCG ID|Dark Explorers|Ultra Ball|102}}, {{TCG|EX Hidden Legends}} {{TCG ID|EX Hidden Legends|Magnetic Storm|91}}. {{TCG|Dragons Exalted}} {{TCG ID|Dragons Exalted|Rayquaza|128}} utilizes both. Eliminating the word "first" is strictly reserved for situations where the card was released at the exact same time in both English in Japanese. As the card was neither first released or originating from an expansion, being simultaneous, "first" is removed: the entire {{TCG|Kalos Starter Set}}, every worlds promo such as {{TCG ID|BW Promo|Tropical Beach|28}}.
:As a subject, the TCG is extremely strict in words and phrasing. Even just a ''slight'' miscommunication in card text can cause tremendous effects during the actual tournament scene, from warnings to complete game losses. Thus, I am extremely deliberate and specific with everything I write, edit, and do for the TCG section, and it is entirely shocking when an edit of mine, as the TCG seat of the Editorial Board, is reverted and removed when I very intentionally added it back in. I take all thoughts and suggestions into consideration when someone brings them to my attention; however, the times when they ''aren't'' brought to my attention and just dashed off with the undo button and an edit summary are the times that I find incredibly rude. Rude towards me as a person, because I'm seemingly not worth your time to write out a proper message the first time '''before''' a reversion war, and rude towards me as an upper level staff member, due to the lack of respect for experience and authority. ''[[User:Maverick Nate|'''Maverick''']][[User talk:Maverick Nate|'''Nate''']]'' 07:34, 12 May 2014 (UTC)
::"First released" is not redundant, because something can be released more than once. "First introduced" ''is'', because it is impossible to be introduced more than once. If you're insistent on "first" as a way of signifying things for tournament rules, may I suggest that "introduced" be changed to "released," since you seem to be intending them to mean the same thing despite their difference in connotation? (I apologize for my second edit; I didn't mean to be rude. I just thought, since you didn't mention it in your edit summary, that you had been editing a previous revision of the page and had overlooked my edit without realizing you'd undone it.) [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 07:50, 12 May 2014 (UTC)
:::More than one introduction is possible when you are introducing something to a different group of people. Painting a broad brushstroke, cards are first introduced in Japan, and then introduced later to the English card game territories, then introduced in Korea, then the European languages. Yes, 'introduced' here may seem similar to 'released' in meaning, but on our TCG pages, released is reserved for other contexts. Alternate words and wordings are specifically chosen in order to keep one word from meaning separate things in close contexts.

== Quick question ==

So, does the "5 people using a template in the userspace for it to be moved" rule [[Special:WhatLinksHere/User:Schiffy/User_Friend_Safari|include or exclude the owner?]] (I ''really'' want to optimize this template to not have to use 7 parameters, but I'm coming up short in ideas). Anyway, assuming it can be moved, Could I also add something like what I described [[Bulbapedia_talk:Usertag_policy#Categories.3F|here]]? Anyway, thanks for your time.

==Need some quick help==
I need some help in updating the opening summary on the new SSB game since the information regarding the 3DS version is outdated now that the official release date is confirmed. -[[User:Tyler53841|Tyler53841]] ([[User talk:Tyler53841|talk]]) 20:01, 11 June 2014 (UTC)

==What I might be able to help with.==
Okay, here goes. I must have over a thousand Pokémon cards, so I might be able to provide some English scans for cards that need them. I also go on PTCGO a bit, so if we need any information on that, I could probably get it. Also, I know of a piece of TCG merchandise that I don't think is licensed by the Pokémon Company. I can't remember all the details, but here's what I know: It's a cube-shaped object sold at Target stores (I don't know if it's sold anywhere else, but definitely Target stores in the US), it's pre-XY era, and it contains the following: two random repackaged figures from boxes (mine were Kyurem and Mewtwo), one random holographic card (mine was {{TCG ID|POP Series 2|Entei|1}}), one random reverse-holo card (mine was {{TCG ID|Diamond & Pearl|Shinx|98}}), a bunch of assorted cards from the {{TCG|Black & White Trainer Kit}} and one of the World Championship decks, a DP-era booster (Mine was a {{TCG|Stormfront}} booster pack, I believe), and a BW-era booster pack (mine was a {{TCG|Dark Explorers}}). I'm not sure how to go about using this information, but I can go to Target and look at a few more of the cubes to see the variation (although since it's not official, it's probably completely random in terms of sets), and I can try to get an image. I also know of a YouTuber who opened one, if that's any help. Lastly, I can pick up wikicode pretty quickly if any templates need sprucing up. Sorry for the long message, and thanks for hearing me out! [[User:KyuremsIceBlade|'''''KYUREM'S''''']] [[User talk:KyuremsIceBlade|'''''ICE''''']] [[Special:Contributions/KyuremsIceBlade|'''''BLADE''''']] 18:14, 18 June 2014 (UTC)
:Oh, I know the box you are talking about! That's simply a third party repackage: an item including ripped apart theme deck pieces that they weren't able to sell, any random cards they have lying around, and old packs people don't typically want. There are many different types of these products, but since they aren't licensed and also aren't standardized in any sort with their contents, we ignore them on the wiki. As for card scans, most are a low priority. As long as we have an artwork for each different print of cards, it doesn't matter if they aren't in English or not. Scans aren't an area of information that will get lost forever if we take too long to do it (since anyone who has a collection can just grab the card, take a scan, and finish the work.) I won't say no if you want to do it, I just think there's better uses of your time. The PTCGO though, I think it would be cool if you were able to get information from there. We haven't entirely posted anything substantial since the initial interest in PTCGO a Generation ago, and we're seriously lacking. I don't have the time to focus on it, and if you were willing to do that, I would most certainly appreciate it. All the decks since BW (and some HS ones) have had code cards that unlock the deck online. However, in order to unlock the full deck (by automactically replacing old cards with different cards with each win), it has to be played with in the Trainer Challenge ({{TCG|Mind Wipe}} and {{TCG|Solar Strike}} are the only one I remember being finished, so they are good examples). I don't know if you buy theme decks and would have the codes, but if you don't, I do and would be willing to send the code your way if you wanted to work on finding out each deck's unlockables. The character pages need more information, and we should probably have a list of promotional cards that are available on there, since they are different than real life. We're just seriously empty in regards to PTCGO, and any work you would do is beneficial. ''[[User:Maverick Nate|'''Maverick''']][[User talk:Maverick Nate|'''Nate''']]'' 18:45, 18 June 2014 (UTC)
::Ah yes, I know what you mean about the TCGO decks. I do have the {{TCG|Ice Shock}} and {{TCG|Cold Fire}} decks, but I appear to have lost the code cards. They're bound to be somewhere in my collection, but if not, I can save up my Trainer Tokens and buy them in the shop. I'll take a look at which decks need more information (I know there are some default decks you can unlock, but those might have already been filled out) and go from there. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!

== BW77 & BW78 ==

I'm a little confused: [[BW Black Star Promos (TCG)]]. You undid my revision back to my first edit. You said "Yeah, if you're not going to bother reading bulbanews for this info, I'm not letting something not sourced from us get on here."

I don't understand, because I DID use the Bulbanews as source. I originally had it set to "Unreleased", and then I changed it to "Unknown cancelled promotion" (trying to keep it consistent with what is listed under DP54 and DP55) so that people wouldn't expect "Unreleased" to mean it will be released one day. You sent it back to Unreleased (my original terminology for these two promos). How is what I said not the same as what was on Bulbanews? Would you rather it be "Cancelled promotion"?

I am a veteran competitor and collector, and I felt like helping by correcting some misconceptions on Bulbapedia. I really enjoy the work you do on Bulbapedia, but if you want new editors to stay around and be productive members, try being helpful to them instead of sarcastic and condescending. It's unnecessary.

== Friend Safari locations for Pokemon pages ==

I would really like to know the current status of noting Friend Safari on Pokemon pages. Has there been ''any'' progress since the update you gave two months ago? I'd like some response (from someone...) to my query [[Talk:Friend Safari#Post-Christmas Update on This?|on the Friend Safari talk page]]...

In particular, I want to know if it's actually ''impossible'' to satisfactorily note the Friend Safari, currently, on Pokemon pages. If it can be done, it ''should'' be, whether there's a new template in the works or not. I cannot fathom what a new template might do that the current template couldn't that would make it and only it acceptable for adding the Friend Safari. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 04:46, 14 March 2014 (UTC)
:As much as it should be listed, I believe the consensus is to wait for the new template. No sense doing work twice (I do, however, understand the concern with how long it is taking). Although the new template may appear ready, some staff members have a few concerns with the template. We're pushing this up in the communal to-do list immediately. I'm sorry if I'm not too much help here. I've been out of the game-loop for a while with my focuses elsewhere. ''[[User:Maverick Nate|'''Maverick''']][[User talk:Maverick Nate|'''Nate''']]'' 05:10, 14 March 2014 (UTC)
::Can you direct me to someone I may implore to better effect then? "No sense doing work twice" is not a good reason. It's ''your'' (staff, I suppose) reason. If I could be allowed to add Friend Safari locations (in an acceptable format), I wouldn't care the least bit if, one day in and a quarter of the way through, the new template was approved and staff started inserting the new template, with Friend Safari locations.
::What there's no sense in is keeping the wiki in a decidedly incomplete state when it ''can'' be complete. If staff don't want to do the work twice, let other people who don't mind do it. There should be several people around who would still be willing. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 05:23, 14 March 2014 (UTC)
:::Not doing work over again is ''my'' policy. I was speaking for myself. Not the staff. I run a section with very few users contributing, and I like to make sure any and all help is maximized to the fullest, because I'll never know when it will be available again. I suggest going to either the Head of Games, as it's the game availability template in question, or the Editor in Chief, as the template in question is being worked on by her. I have no power in granting a temporary implementation into a section that isn't the TCG. ''[[User:Maverick Nate|'''Maverick''']][[User talk:Maverick Nate|'''Nate''']]'' 05:32, 14 March 2014 (UTC)

==Name parameter==
What exactly is the "name=" in the cardlist/div for? I noticed it's only been put in -EX listings for XY Series cards. [[User:Glik|glik]][[User talk:Glik|glak]] 04:36, 18 March 2014 (UTC)
:It is supposed to be used on anything with an image in the title of the card. {{TCG|Pokémon SP}}, {{TCG|Pokémon ☆}}, {{TCG|Pokémon-EX}}, etc. The title of each section is treated as an anchor for links, but as images can't very well be in links, there needs to be some way of textifying the names so that links work. The name parameter does this. Ex: [[Blastoise (TCG)#Blastoise-EX]]. These links are used on the card name sections of every card.

==Coins==
Do the DP and BW theme decks and trainer kits not have an image for their coins for a reason? [[User:Glik|glik]][[User talk:Glik|glak]] 00:02, 9 April 2014 (UTC)
:While in charge, coins weren't something I cared about until recently. So their deck placement just wasn't ever updated. Additionally, our previous coverage on coins isn't as in depth as it needs to be, so it has been taking a lot of research so that we don't have false information spreading across the TCG section. I have a notebook with all the DP and BW coin coverage. I just haven't gotten all the necessary images for it yet. ''[[User:Maverick Nate|'''Maverick''']][[User talk:Maverick Nate|'''Nate''']]'' 00:50, 9 April 2014 (UTC)
::Oh hey, you have a to-do sorta list at the top of the page, why didn't I ever look at that? Any plans on updating it? It'd certainly help me in finding things to do instead of just playing follow the leader. And in case your notes don't have it (and what prompted the question in the first place), {{TCG|Toxic Tricks}} has [[a:File:Coin Reshiram Zekrom white.png|this]] coin. [[User:Glik|glik]][[User talk:Glik|glak]] 03:56, 9 April 2014 (UTC)
:::That's the coin included in {{TCG|Explosive Edge}}: a Regular-sized, Black {{tt|Chrome|Non Holofoil}}, White-backed Reshiram/Zekrom Coin. The coin included in Toxic Tricks is actually a Regular-sized, Gold Rainbow-Mirror Holofoil, Black-backed Reshiram/Zekrom Coin.
:::As for my to-do list, I'll probably update it again sometime. It's just been a while and it will take a bit of double checking to figure out what exactly has been finished since the last time I looked at it. ''[[User:Maverick Nate|'''Maverick''']][[User talk:Maverick Nate|'''Nate''']]'' 04:06, 9 April 2014 (UTC)
::::Gold? If you mean [[a:File:Coin Reshiram and Zekrom.png|this one]], then something's wrong. The one I have is not even remotely that dark of a gold; the Holofoil makes it tricky, but it's a plain chrome/silver or a ''very'' light gold. It's a lot closer to the black chrome one, which is why I thought it was the one. [[User:Glik|glik]][[User talk:Glik|glak]] 04:30, 9 April 2014 (UTC)
:::::That image is an image from the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game Online]], so your confusion is understandable. No Reshiram/Zerkom coin exists that is that deep of a gold color. Everything from Pokemon.com removes holofoil and makes everything a lot trickier. I need to go through BW Coins just like I have been with [[User:Maverick Nate/XY Coins|XY Coins]] and do a lot of chipping away and image replacing in order to make everything as detailed as it needs to be. Getting images is also a bit tricky because Mirror Foil scans terribly. Though, just to make sure, your coin looks closer to [[a:File:BW2 Gold ReshiramZekrom Coin.png|this image I just uploaded]], yes? ''[[User:Maverick Nate|'''Maverick''']][[User talk:Maverick Nate|'''Nate''']]'' 04:41, 9 April 2014 (UTC)
::::::Yeah, that's it. Now I get why you didn't want to spend so much time on coins previously. [[User:Glik|glik]][[User talk:Glik|glak]] 05:08, 9 April 2014 (UTC)
:::::::Yeah, there's just a lot going on with coins. There's a lot of unintentionally misleading/incorrect information to sift through in order to be 100% correct with coins, and it's hard to give undivided attention to them when there is always a new expansion looming in the background.

== Newbie questions about images ==

Hi Maverick, I am new to this project and have a question about uploading an image of a card from the Pokemon TCG to that card's article. I contacted [[User talk:Chosen#Newbie question about images|another user]] and was adviced that I contact an admin listed on the TCG project page. In an article about a specific card from the TCG, should an english version be used for the card image if one is available and is it okay to take that image from a third party site? To be more specific, would it be okay to take [http://www.collectorscache.com/StoreModules/ProductImages/347/moltresex031promo.jpg this image] and replace [[a:File:MoltresexNintendoPromo31.jpg]] in [[Moltres ex (Nintendo Promo 31)]] with it? Furthermore, could I do it, technically, or does my account need to be autoconfirmed first? Regards. [[User:Gengar321|Gengar321]] ([[User talk:Gengar321|talk]]) 20:49, 10 April 2014 (UTC)
:In order to ensure quality of our images, for English cards, we require that they be either from the official site, or scans done on our own. I enjoy your interest in improving the TCG section, it's just bad practice to use other websites' images. We'd have to go through a large process of asking collector's cache for permission to use their card scans, and as their images aren't exactly as large of an improvement as we'd like to see, it's not exactly worth the time and effort to get images we'd have to replace later anyway.
:As for being autoconfirmed, you have to be a user on the Archives for an undetermined amount of time and make a certain amount of edits there in order to upload over images. Hope that helps! ''[[User:Maverick Nate|'''Maverick''']][[User talk:Maverick Nate|'''Nate''']]'' 21:53, 10 April 2014 (UTC)
::Thanks for the information. Since I don't own a copy of the card myself and an image of the card doesn't seem to be available on any official site, it's difficult to get a scan image of the english card. [[User:Gengar321|Gengar321]] ([[User talk:Gengar321|talk]]) 11:51, 13 April 2014 (UTC)

==Merch Gallery and Things==
Seems we don't have the Japanese boosters and some English boosters for the HGSS Series, as well the {{TCG|Call of Legends}} boosters. While I was looking through the Archives for them, I noticed unused expansion artwork and booster boxes. Should I start incorporating the official artwork into the article like on {{TCG|Unleashed}} and should the booster boxes be used in the gallery sections?

I also left you a message on the Archives about card scans. [[User:Glik|glik]][[User talk:Glik|glak]] 23:38, 22 April 2014 (UTC)
:No to the booster boxes. As for the artwork, I really only added those into the body of the information section when the actual text references them. The images would be out of place if there's no real reason to be shown outside of "hey look at this". There are better places for that.

== "First introduced" ==

I'm not interested in beating a dead horse if you're not interested in changing your mind, but for the record, "first originating in" is exactly as redundant as "first introduced" for the same reason I mentioned in my edit summary. That's all; I'll leave TCG stuff alone now. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 05:14, 12 May 2014 (UTC)
:False. It is NOT redundant, and I will explain why. The placement/omission of the word "fist" when talking about release information has a very specific consequence of meaning. ''First'' is always included when a card has more than one print (which is pretty much every card, except for non-reprinted unreleased Japanese cards, and yet-to-be-released-in-Japan English cards...with one exception, which will be detailed out later). A statement saying "first introduced" or "first released" should '''always''' be used on cards that were first released in English before they were released in Japanese: {{TCG|Boundaries Crossed}} {{TCG ID|Boundaries Crossed|Black Kyurem|100}}, {{TCG|EX Sandstorm}} {{TCG ID|EX Sandstorm|Anorith|28}}. On the flip side, "first originating in" is specifically for cards that were released in English (our highest priority as an English wiki), that first originated in a Japanese expansion: {{TCG|Dark Explorers}} {{TCG ID|Dark Explorers|Ultra Ball|102}}, {{TCG|EX Hidden Legends}} {{TCG ID|EX Hidden Legends|Magnetic Storm|91}}. {{TCG|Dragons Exalted}} {{TCG ID|Dragons Exalted|Rayquaza|128}} utilizes both. Eliminating the word "first" is strictly reserved for situations where the card was released at the exact same time in both English in Japanese. As the card was neither first released or originating from an expansion, being simultaneous, "first" is removed: the entire {{TCG|Kalos Starter Set}}, every worlds promo such as {{TCG ID|BW Promo|Tropical Beach|28}}.
:As a subject, the TCG is extremely strict in words and phrasing. Even just a ''slight'' miscommunication in card text can cause tremendous effects during the actual tournament scene, from warnings to complete game losses. Thus, I am extremely deliberate and specific with everything I write, edit, and do for the TCG section, and it is entirely shocking when an edit of mine, as the TCG seat of the Editorial Board, is reverted and removed when I very intentionally added it back in. I take all thoughts and suggestions into consideration when someone brings them to my attention; however, the times when they ''aren't'' brought to my attention and just dashed off with the undo button and an edit summary are the times that I find incredibly rude. Rude towards me as a person, because I'm seemingly not worth your time to write out a proper message the first time '''before''' a reversion war, and rude towards me as an upper level staff member, due to the lack of respect for experience and authority. ''[[User:Maverick Nate|'''Maverick''']][[User talk:Maverick Nate|'''Nate''']]'' 07:34, 12 May 2014 (UTC)
::"First released" is not redundant, because something can be released more than once. "First introduced" ''is'', because it is impossible to be introduced more than once. If you're insistent on "first" as a way of signifying things for tournament rules, may I suggest that "introduced" be changed to "released," since you seem to be intending them to mean the same thing despite their difference in connotation? (I apologize for my second edit; I didn't mean to be rude. I just thought, since you didn't mention it in your edit summary, that you had been editing a previous revision of the page and had overlooked my edit without realizing you'd undone it.) [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 07:50, 12 May 2014 (UTC)
:::More than one introduction is possible when you are introducing something to a different group of people. Painting a broad brushstroke, cards are first introduced in Japan, and then introduced later to the English card game territories, then introduced in Korea, then the European languages. Yes, 'introduced' here may seem similar to 'released' in meaning, but on our TCG pages, released is reserved for other contexts. Alternate words and wordings are specifically chosen in order to keep one word from meaning separate things in close contexts.

==What I might be able to help with.==
Okay, here goes. I must have over a thousand Pokémon cards, so I might be able to provide some English scans for cards that need them. I also go on PTCGO a bit, so if we need any information on that, I could probably get it. Also, I know of a piece of TCG merchandise that I don't think is licensed by the Pokémon Company. I can't remember all the details, but here's what I know: It's a cube-shaped object sold at Target stores (I don't know if it's sold anywhere else, but definitely Target stores in the US), it's pre-XY era, and it contains the following: two random repackaged figures from boxes (mine were Kyurem and Mewtwo), one random holographic card (mine was {{TCG ID|POP Series 2|Entei|1}}), one random reverse-holo card (mine was {{TCG ID|Diamond & Pearl|Shinx|98}}), a bunch of assorted cards from the {{TCG|Black & White Trainer Kit}} and one of the World Championship decks, a DP-era booster (Mine was a {{TCG|Stormfront}} booster pack, I believe), and a BW-era booster pack (mine was a {{TCG|Dark Explorers}}). I'm not sure how to go about using this information, but I can go to Target and look at a few more of the cubes to see the variation (although since it's not official, it's probably completely random in terms of sets), and I can try to get an image. I also know of a YouTuber who opened one, if that's any help. Lastly, I can pick up wikicode pretty quickly if any templates need sprucing up. Sorry for the long message, and thanks for hearing me out!

:Oh, I know the box you are talking about! That's simply a third party repackage: an item including ripped apart theme deck pieces that they weren't able to sell, any random cards they have lying around, and old packs people don't typically want. There are many different types of these products, but since they aren't licensed and also aren't standardized in any sort with their contents, we ignore them on the wiki. As for card scans, most are a low priority. As long as we have an artwork for each different print of cards, it doesn't matter if they aren't in English or not. Scans aren't an area of information that will get lost forever if we take too long to do it (since anyone who has a collection can just grab the card, take a scan, and finish the work.) I won't say no if you want to do it, I just think there's better uses of your time. The PTCGO though, I think it would be cool if you were able to get information from there. We haven't entirely posted anything substantial since the initial interest in PTCGO a Generation ago, and we're seriously lacking. I don't have the time to focus on it, and if you were willing to do that, I would most certainly appreciate it. All the decks since BW (and some HS ones) have had code cards that unlock the deck online. However, in order to unlock the full deck (by automactically replacing old cards with different cards with each win), it has to be played with in the Trainer Challenge ({{TCG|Mind Wipe}} and {{TCG|Solar Strike}} are the only one I remember being finished, so they are good examples). I don't know if you buy theme decks and would have the codes, but if you don't, I do and would be willing to send the code your way if you wanted to work on finding out each deck's unlockables. The character pages need more information, and we should probably have a list of promotional cards that are available on there, since they are different than real life. We're just seriously empty in regards to PTCGO, and any work you would do is beneficial. ''[[User:Maverick Nate|'''Maverick''']][[User talk:Maverick Nate|'''Nate''']]'' 18:45, 18 June 2014 (UTC)
::Ah yes, I know what you mean about the TCGO decks. I do have the {{TCG|Ice Shock}} and {{TCG|Cold Fire}} decks, but I appear to have lost the code cards. They're bound to be somewhere in my collection, but if not, I can save up my Trainer Tokens and buy them in the shop. I'll take a look at which decks need more information (I know there are some default decks you can unlock, but those might have already been filled out) and go from there.

I'm a little confused: [[BW Black Star Promos (TCG)]]. You undid my revision back to my first edit. You said "Yeah, if you're not going to bother reading bulbanews for this info, I'm not letting something not sourced from us get on here."

I don't understand, because I DID use the Bulbanews as source. I originally had it set to "Unreleased", and then I changed it to "Unknown cancelled promotion" (trying to keep it consistent with what is listed under DP54 and DP55) so that people wouldn't expect "Unreleased" to mean it will be released one day. You sent it back to Unreleased (my original terminology for these two promos). How is what I said not the same as what was on Bulbanews? Would you rather it be "Cancelled promotion"?

I am a veteran competitor and collector, and I felt like helping by correcting some misconceptions on Bulbapedia. I really enjoy the work you do on Bulbapedia, but if you want new editors to stay around and be productive members, try being helpful to them instead of sarcastic and condescending. It's unnecessary.
