Froggy25: /* Move or fanname? */

==Move or fanname?==
The way this article reads implies that "Vending Machine" is a term made by the English community to easily identify this group of cards. As per current trends in page moves/planned page moves, that means this page can't be called "Vending Machine cards". It either has to be given the unknown name template, or moved to Expansion Sheet (TCG) as a JP name exists and therefore substitutes for the English lack of a name. As per the template, I'm on team move. [[User:Salmancer|Salmancer]] ([[User talk:Salmancer|talk]]) 14:33, 24 February 2024 (UTC)

In Japan, twenty copies of this card were first given to [[Keita Takahashi]], one of the overall winners of the {{DL|Illustration contests|Pokémon Card Game Illust Artist Contest}}. It was subsequently available on sheet sixteen of {{TCG|Expansion Sheet 1}}. There appears to be no discernible difference between the two prints; both are glossy and have a rarity symbol. It was reprinted as a non-glossy card in the Red Deck of the {{TCG|Quick Starter Gift Set}}. It was released in English as a {{TCG|Wizards Black Star Promos|Wizards Black Star Promo}} and was available through the {{TCG|Pokémon League}} in August 2002, with English-exclusive artwork. [[Wizards of the Coast]] also ran an illustration competition for the English version of the card, the chosen image being the work of [[Craig Turvey]]. All Japanese prints use the Original Series layout, whereas the English print uses the Neo Series layout.

Unlimited format (TCG)

2022-01-07T14:45:55Z

Froggy25: Undo revision 3381663 by Mr. Daikon (talk) Sorry for the edit war. Such "control" decks have no relevance in this "format". If you don't completely lock your opponent on turn 1, they'll just combo win on turn 1, or completely lock you on turn 1. Just trapping a Pokémon in the active position without doing anything else is useless.

The '''Unlimited format''' of the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] allows any card that was {{TCG|Rotation|once playable}} in [[Play! Pokémon]] tournaments (that is, all cards except Worlds edition decks, jumbo cards, [[Ancient Mew]], [[_____'s Pikachu (Wizards Promo 24)|Birthday Pikachu]], and otherwise unplayable cards) can be used. It is not as popular or as commonly used as the {{TCG|Standard format}} or {{TCG|Expanded format}} and is not used in any tournaments sanctioned by Play! Pokémon organized play. It can, however, be used in {{TCG|Pokémon League}}s if the {{DL|Pokémon League (TCG)|League Leader|League Leader}} wishes to allow it.

In the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game Online]]'s Friend Battle Mode, any deck composed of cards currently available in the game (from the {{DL|Pokémon Trading Card Game|HeartGold & SoulSilver Series|HeartGold & SoulSilver}} [[List of Pokémon Trading Card Game expansions|expansion]] ownards) are allowed in this play type (including Standard format decks and [[List of Pokémon Trading Card Game Online decks|Theme decks]]).

Because of the lack of restrictions in Unlimited, decks can use combinations of cards which are not legal in Standard or Expanded format play. Cards such as {{TCG ID|Great Encounters|Porygon2|49}} and {{TCG ID|Triumphant|Seeker|88}} which never appeared in the same Standard format, are [[Porydonk_(TCG)|frequently used together]]. Despite the large variety of cards available, only a few strategies make up what is generally considered the highest "tier" in Unlimited play, with most competitive {{TCG|Archetype|decks}} being either "donk" decks focused on winning by KOing your opponent's only Pokémon in play, or "lock" decks focused on preventing the opponent from taking meaningful actions. The former is more difficult for the player going first due to the current first turn rules.

==Examples of Unlimited archetypes==

*{{TCG|Porydonk}}

The '''Vending Machine''' (Japanese: '''拡張シート''' ''Expansion Sheet'') cards are a series of special collections for the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] released in Japan.

==Information==
Unlike regular expansions, where a player would receive a number of cards from a booster pack, these cards were only obtainable on randomized sheets from a Vending Machine from which the cards were peeled. It is due to this that the fan name ''Vending Machine Series'' was coined by collectors, and should not be considered the proper name for the set.

Series 1 (Blue) and 2 (Red) feature eighteen sheets with three cards per-sheet along with cardboard damage counters and coins. Series 3 (Green) features eighteen sheets with three cards plus one special card which had a non-standard back, most of which are gag-cards or special cards featuring extra game rules or theme deck ideas.

The reverse of the sheet in each series features Pokémon from 6 different locations in the [[Kanto]] region. The Pokémon cards on the sheets are representative of the location indicated. Series 1 and 2 sheets include gameplay tips and advertisements for other expansions. Series 3 sheets detail the "Evolution by Mail Campaign" (see below). Each sheet is also numbered in the bottom right corner and each always contain the same cards. For example, Series 1 sheet 12 will always have Chansey, Nidoran♀, and Nidoran♂. Collecting all numbered sheets 1-18 will yield the entire set with some single duplicates of the common cards.

==Trivia==
*The cards are printed on glossy card stock, unlike the regular matte card stock. Glossy card stock became quite popular through the time of 1998 until about 2001 for promos from magazines such as CoroCoro.
*A special preview expansion sheet was available at the 7th Next Generation World Hobby Fair held in December 1997, featuring {{TCG ID|Wizards Promo|Pikachu|4}}, {{TCG ID|Wizards Promo|Mewtwo|12}}, and {{TCG ID|WHF Special Sheet|Mew|promo}}. Officially {{TCG|Unnumbered Promotional cards}}, they are often regarded as additions to the Vending Machine collection and dubbed "Series 00".
*With the release of Series 3 the "Evolution by Mail Campaign" was launched, inspired by [[Methods of evolution#Evolution via trading|trade evolution]] in the Pokémon games. In order to acquire the fully evolved versions of Kadabra, Machoke, Graveler, Haunter, and {{tt|Omanyte|Does not need to be traded to evolve in the games}}, people had to send one of these cards along with the Pass Card {{TCG ID|Vending|Bill's PC|S3}} to MediaFactory before April 1999. In return they received the evolved version of the card they sent, each of them a holographic promotional card. These cards are often sought after by collectors due to the method in which the cards were originally distributed. Similarly to the WHF preview sheet, they are also often regarded as unofficial additions to the Vending Machine collection.
*The winning entries in the CoroCoro Pokémon Illustration Contest, which ran from late 1997 to early 1998, had their illustrations printed on cards across the three series. A total of four finalists had their artwork featured on cards, with all finalists receiving the much sought-after {{TCG ID|CoroCoro|Pokémon Illustrator|promo}} card.
**In a similar manner, [[Wizards of the Coast]] also ran an illustration contest in 2002. The winning entry was featured on the English version of {{TCG ID|Wizards Promo|Snorlax|49}}, the Japanese version of which was one of the winning CoroCoro Pokémon Illustration Contest entries.
*Due to the likely monetary restrictions of distributing the cards in a similar manner, many of these cards were not released outside of Japan. Of those that were, all of them were printed as {{TCG|Wizards Black Star Promos}} and distributed via the Pokémon League throughout the 2001-2002 season.

Froggy25: /* Japanese-exclusive cards attacks texts */

==Japanese-exclusive cards attacks texts==
Was there a decision made somewhere to make the attacks' text use the US old templating, rather than simply translating what is written on the card?
Nowhere on Leech Seed's text is there a "Unless all damage from this attack is prevented", nor is there an "Ivysaur".
From my very limited knowledge in Japanese, it's something more like "If you deal damage, remove 1 damage counter".
I suppose all Japanese-exclusive cards on Bulbapedia have the same issue, unless it is a deliberate decision that has been discussed ?

The '''first generation''' (Japanese: '''{{j|{{tt|第一世代|だいいちせだい}}}}''' ''first generation'') of Pokémon games, known among older fans as the '''color generation''' or the '''chromatic generation''' due to the names of the [[core series|version]]s released, is the initial set of four Pokémon games released.

Beginning with {{game|Red and Green|s}}, and later joined by third version {{v2|Blue| (Japanese)}} and special edition {{v2|Yellow}} in Japan, the Generation I games were developed beginning as early as 1990 from [[Capsule Monsters|an idea]] that [[Satoshi Tajiri]] had thought of and pitched to [[Nintendo]] with the help of [[Shigeru Miyamoto]]. The inspiration for many of the key mechanics introduced in this generation came from Tajiri's childhood interest in bug collecting, with the [[trade|trading]] system between two [[Game Boy]]s being thought of when he imagined a caterpillar crawling across the [[Game Link Cable]] between two systems.

This generation was localized into English, with initial attempts to keep the Pocket Monsters name for international use blocked due to the {{wp|Monster in My Pocket}} franchise leading to the release as "Pokémon". Further alterations made in the localization included the combination of Red, Green, and Blue into the English versions of {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, using Red and Green's wild Pokémon encounter lists but Blue's slightly improved graphics. The simultaneous release of the games and {{pkmn|anime}} led to an almost-overnight surge in popularity, cementing the Pokémon franchise firmly as a Nintendo mainstay alongside {{smw|Mario (series)|Super Mario}} and {{zw|The Legend of Zelda (Series)|The Legend of Zelda}}.

Two battle arena games were released in this generation: the mostly-incomplete [[Pokémon Stadium (Japanese)]], which went unreleased outside of Japan and only allowed use of 42 Pokémon, and the improved {{eng|Pokémon Stadium}}, which featured several special battle modes and a [[Gym Leader Castle]] where players could take their fully-trained teams for matches against the Kanto [[Gym Leader]]s, [[Elite Four]], and {{pkmn|Champion}}.

The games proved popular enough that, eight years after their original release, they received [[remake]]s in the form of {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, as the original versions are incompatible with [[Generation III]] and onward. Pokémon Yellow received a remake twenty years after its original release in the form of [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]].

The storyline of the [[Kanto]] region is contemporaneous with the [[Hoenn]] story of [[Generation III]], as revealed by details in both the Hoenn-based games as well as the {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s|later remakes}} of Generation I. The storylines of the [[Generation II]] and [[Generation IV]] games occur three years after this generation, with details about this link explicitly noted throughout the [[Johto]]-based games.

==Gameplay==
Generation I introduced the key Pokémon gameplay elements which have remained to this day, as well as a system of game releases now considered by fans to be the "standard formula". While many of the features enjoyed in the more recent generations are later additions to the series, the following have their origins in Generation I:

* The {{player}} has a [[party]] of up to six {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with them, which can be used in {{pkmn|battle}} against opponent [[Pokémon Trainer]]s or [[wild Pokémon]].
* A [[PC]]-based [[Pokémon Storage System]], made up of 12 boxes of 20 Pokémon each and developed by [[Bill]], a Pokémaniac, is available to store reserve Pokémon not in the party (up to 240 total).
* {{cat|Generation I Pokémon|151 species of Pokémon}}, with many related to each other by way of [[evolution]].
* A complex {{pkmn|battle}} system, including:
** Five stats—HP, Attack, Defense, Speed, and Special—which each Pokémon has. Different Pokémon have different stats, even among the same species.
** 15 different [[type]]s, which each Pokémon species has inherent to itself.
** {{cat|Generation I moves|165 unique moves}}, restricted to four per Pokémon, each with its own type, [[accuracy]], and base [[power]].
* The [[Pokémon League]] challenge, consisting of [[Kanto]]'s eight [[Gym|Pokémon Gyms]], scattered across the region with each specializing in a different type, and the [[Elite Four]] and [[Pokémon Champion]], awaiting challengers at [[Indigo Plateau]].
* A [[Game Link Cable|linked]] [[trade]] and battle system between two [[Game Boy]] systems, allowing players to exchange Pokémon they caught for a Pokémon owned by another person or to battle against each other to test their skills. Some Pokémon have to be traded so that they can evolve.

==Region==
===Kanto===
[[File:RBY Kanto.png|thumb|250px|Kanto]]
{{main|Kanto}}
Generation I introduced the first [[region]] to the Pokémon series, which, though unnamed in the original English games, is named in Japanese as Kanto, after the {{wp|Kanto|region of Japan it is based on}}. The name has since passed into English, first being used in [[Super Smash Bros.]], and subsequently being noted in all games since.

====Starter Pokémon====
At the outset of the player's journey, he will have no Pokémon on hand, and venturing outside of [[Pallet Town]] is impossible, as [[Professor Oak]] will stop him and bring him back to [[Professor Oak's Laboratory|his lab]], where three Pokémon await both the player and his rival.

The starters of the Kanto region began the recurring three-type trio of {{t|Grass}}, {{t|Fire}}, and {{t|Water}}, with the player's choice being between {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, and {{p|Squirtle}}. Much as in later generations as well, the [[rival]] will choose whichever of the three has the type that is super effective against that of the player.

The choice of a starter can make the beginning few [[Gym]]s change in difficulty, but it does not affect much in the long run aside from the rival's party. Bulbasaur is known by many to be the easiest to start with, as its Grass-type weakens the first two Gyms and resists the attacks of the third. Squirtle is known as the second easiest, as Water types also weaken the first Gym; however, it can prove difficult mid-game if the player has not caught a Pokémon that can resist the later Gyms. Charmander is widely regarded as the hardest of the trio, as Fire-type moves do little damage against the first two Gyms' Pokémon, and there are few opportunities to capture a Pokémon that can counterbalance its weaknesses against the first several Gyms.

In {{game|Yellow}}, instead of the normal trio found in Red, Green, and Blue, players can only start with the {{type|Electric}} Pikachu, which likewise has difficulty with the first Gym. The rival will take Oak's {{p|Eevee}} and evolve it into one of its three [[Evolution stone|stone]]-based evolutions depending on the results of the player's battles against him.

====Gym Leaders====
The eight Kanto [[Gym Leader]]s each specialize in a different type of Pokémon. Each gives the player a [[Badge]] and a [[TM]] after their defeat.

==Comparison==
Generation I can be considered the template for every generation since. Many mainstays of the main series games were introduced in Generation I.

Some aspects introduced in this generation are found in every generation since, unless otherwise stated:

* The choice between three [[starter Pokémon]] that have {{t|Grass}}, {{t|Fire}}, and {{t|Water}} as their primary types.
* A [[Pokémon Professor]] named after a tree who gives the starter Pokémon and a [[Pokédex]] to the {{player}}.
* A [[villainous team]] serving as the main antagonists of the game.
* A [[rival]] who starts their journey at the same time as the player, and is fought multiple times throughout the game. Some later games include more than one rival.
* The player challenges eight [[Gym Leader]]s, as well as the [[Elite Four]] and [[Pokémon Champion]].
** This is not the case in {{g|Sun and Moon}}, and {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, where Gym Leaders are replaced by the [[island challenge]]. There is also no current champion in these games, so the player battles [[Professor Kukui]]{{sup/7|SM}}/[[Hau]]{{sup/7|USUM}} instead.
* The player is able to have six Pokémon with him at most, while additional Pokémon can be kept in the [[Pokémon Storage System]].
* The ability to {{pkmn|battle}} and [[trade]] between games.
* [[Evolution]] via [[level|leveling up]], trade, and [[Evolution stone]]s. Other [[methods of evolution]] were introduced in later generations.
* {{cat|Generation I Pokémon|151 species of Pokémon}}. Other species were introduced in later generations.
* 15 [[type]]s. Other types were introduced in later generations.
* [[:Category:Generation I moves|165 moves]]. Other moves were introduced in later generations.
* A prototype of the [[friendship]] system was introduced in {{game|Yellow}}, which only worked on the {{ga|Red's Pikachu|Pikachu}} the {{player}} {{pkmn2|starter|started with}} (or any Pikachu with the same [[original Trainer]] and original Trainer ID as the player). In [[Generation II]], the friendship system was expanded to cover all Pokémon.

Some aspects introduced in this generation have been revised since:

* In Generations I-[[Generation IV|IV]], [[TM]]s are single-use while [[HM]]s can be used an unlimited number of times. Starting in [[Generation V]], TMs have unlimited uses as well.
* In the Generation I, the HMs {{m|Cut}}, {{m|Surf}}, are {{m|Strength}} are required for completion of the games. They may also be used to access optional areas. All [[Generation II]]–[[Generation VI|VI]] games also require some HMs for completion. Starting in [[Generation VII]], HMs are not present at all, being replaced by the [[Poké Ride]]{{sup/7|SMUSUM}}/[[Secret Technique]]s{{sup/7|PE}}. In [[Generation VIII]], there is nothing akin to HMs, except for the Galar [[Flying Taxi]], a service where a cab flown by a Corviknight can bring the player anywhere with an open roof.
* In Generations I-III, [[Physical move|physical]] and [[special move]]s are determined by the move type. For instance, all {{t|Fire}} moves are special. Starting in [[Generation IV]], physical and special moves are determined by the move itself, rather than their type.
* [[Statistic#Special|Special]] is a stat that existed only in this generation. In [[Generation II]], Special was split into Special Attack and Special Defense.

==Issues and bugs==
The original first-generation games had some game balance issues, mainly due to the limited variety of Pokémon type combinations and movesets. Those that were eventually fixed in [[Generation II]] (and are thus exclusive to Generation I) are listed below.

===Balancing issues===
* {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon had virtually no match because their moves were resisted only by other Psychic types and their only weakness was to the {{t|Bug}} type, of which there were only three damaging moves: {{m|Leech Life}}, {{m|Pin Missile}}, and {{m|Twineedle}}. Additionally, most of the Pokémon that learned these moves were part {{t|Poison}} and therefore weak to Psychic moves. {{type|Ghost}} moves, while meant to be super-effective, were completely ineffective against Psychic types due to what may be a programming bug. Even if this were to be disregarded, the only super-effective Ghost-type move would be {{m|Lick}} whose [[power]] was only 20 at the time, and the only Ghost-type Pokémon that existed at the time were also part Poison-type.
* The only damaging {{type|Dragon}} move was the set-damage {{m|Dragon Rage}}. This meant that Dragon-type Pokémon could never take advantage of [[Same Type Attack Bonus|STAB]], and that the only moves that could hit them with super-effective damage were {{type|Ice}} moves.
* The {{stat|Special}} stat represented both Special Attack and Special Defense, meaning that a Pokémon with a high Special stat had an edge in battle. For example, {{p|Venusaur}} had a [[base stats|base]] Special stat of 100, used {{type|Grass}} (considered "[[Special move|Special]]") moves, and was weak to mostly Special types.
* [[Critical hit]] ratios were based on a Pokémon's base speed, allowing faster Pokémon to deal more critical hits.
** [[One-hit knockout move]]s were also based on speed, making them useless if the user was slower than the target.

===In-battle bugs===
* {{m|Leech Seed}} and {{m|Toxic}} used the same damage counter, allowing Leech Seed to drain twice as much damage when a Pokémon was affected by both at the same time.
* {{m|Focus Energy}} and [[Dire Hit]] divided the user's [[critical hit]] rate by 4 instead of multiplying it by 4.
* Using {{m|Agility}} or Swords Dance while {{status|Paralysis|paralyzed}} or {{status|burn}}ed, respectively, would negate the status impairments from those effects and then double the enhanced stat.
* If {{m|Hyper Beam}} knocked out a Pokémon or destroyed a {{m|Substitute}}, the user would not need to recharge on the succeeding turn.
* {{m|Self-Destruct|Selfdestruct}} and {{m|Explosion}} did not make the user faint if they destroyed a Substitute.
* Although {{m|Rest}} removed status conditions, it would not alleviate the stat debuffs caused by a burn or paralysis.
* If a {{m|Bide}} user was hit with a status move before its attacking turn, the damage dealt would equal that of the last attack used against it.
* If a Pokémon's HP was 255 or 511 (or any number that leaves a remainder of 255 when divided by 256) points below its maximum, HP recovery moves like {{m|Recover}} and {{m|Soft-Boiled|Softboiled}} {{DL|List of glitches in Generation I|HP recovery move failure|would fail}}. This is because the game only checks the low byte of the 16-bit value.
* When a Pokémon was hit by a move that did not deal neutral damage, the message that displayed would reflect only the matchup against one of the target's types.

===In-battle issues===
* Critical hits would ignore stat increases from both parties rather than just the target.
* {{m|Counter}} could be used in response to {{m|Guillotine}} or {{m|Horn Drill}} to instantly defeat an enemy Pokémon, even if the move hit the user's {{m|Substitute}}.
* With the exception of {{m|Swift}}, every attack had at least a 1/256 chance of missing.
* {{m|Wrap}}, {{m|Bind}}, {{m|Fire Spin}}, and {{m|Clamp}} immobilized the target for 2 to 5 turns as a side effect. If a Pokémon that used one of these moves switched out, the target would still be considered trapped during that turn.
* {{m|Struggle}} was programmed with {{type|Normal}} offensive properties instead of being programmed to ignore type matchups, making it ineffective against {{t|Ghost}} types.
* Waking up from sleep took a full turn.
* Using Substitute while having 25% or less of one's maximum HP left would cause the user to faint.
* As soon as {{m|Rage}} connected, the user would become disobedient and would be unable to use any other move until it fainted. When Rage was used, it only lost the initial 1PP, and if the user is inflicted with an accuracy-reducing move right before or while using Rage, its accuracy would drop by 1/256 for each succeeding turn of Rage before eventually capping out at 1/256.
* [[Multi-hit move]]s dealt the same amount of damage for each hit in a turn, meaning that if the first hit was a critical hit, the other hits would be critical hits as well.
* In-game opponents had infinite PP, so that they could use powerful moves with 5 PP without limit.
* In-game opponents will always use the type of a move that is super effective, even if it is a status move.

===Other issues===
* The [[Bag]] had only 20 slots, and each stack of items (including key items) occupied one slot. This forced the player to constantly store obsolete key items, TMs, and HMs into the PC in order to make space for new ones.
* The player was unable to capture any more Pokémon if the current box in the [[Pokémon Storage System]] was full.

==Kanto thematic motif==
The first generation of Pokémon games dealt with genetics and engineering. The three starters, {{p|Bulbasaur}} (frog), {{p|Charmander}} (lizard), and {{p|Squirtle}} (turtle), are all reptilian in nature, and take some elements from the dinosaurs. Dinosaurs are reptiles, and were one of the most successful groups of animals to exist. Other Pokémon in the generation continue this theme. {{p|Eevee}} is capable of evolving into multiple forms due to its unstable DNA; {{p|Voltorb}} is the result of a Poké Ball experiment gone awry; {{p|Porygon}} is a virtual reality Pokémon. These games also introduce three Fossils which can be resurrected into prehistoric Pokémon: {{p|Aerodactyl}}, {{p|Kabuto}} and {{p|Omanyte}}. Finally, out of the four legendaries that appeared, the most powerful was man-made through genetic engineering: {{p|Mewtwo}}. The uncatchable [[Mythical Pokémon]], {{p|Mew}}, also has the DNA of every Pokémon in existence.

[[Bill]] himself invented the sophisticated PC used in most regions and accidentally turned himself into a Pokémon. {{p|Ditto}} could also mimic the abilities and structure of any Pokémon it encountered, making it capable of breeding with most Pokémon from Generation II and onwards. The [[Master Ball]] is the most powerful Poké Ball in the franchise, and was first engineered by Kanto scientists. With this generation being the very foundation of the Pokémon franchise, most successors have only expanded upon Kanto's basics.

==Trivia==
* Of all the [[generation]]s, Generation I introduced the most [[move]]s to the [[core series]], with 165.
** Generation I is the only generation in which the total number of moves is greater than the total number of Pokémon.
* As far as release dates go, Generation I is the shortest generation in North America, partly due to the fact that Red and Blue were not released until 1998, while in Japan, they were released in 1996, and their successors, Gold and Silver, were released closer together, in 1999 in Japan and 2000 in North America. As the rest of the world's releases are more similar to the North American releases than the Japanese releases, it is also the shortest generation worldwide.
* Due to being the first and least advanced generation, Generation I has the highest number of [[glitch Pokémon]] which are known to be obtainable without the use of an external device.
* Prior to [[Generation VI]], Generation I had the most extra space in the Pokémon Storage System if the {{player}} captures one of each Pokémon, with 240 spots available for 151 Pokémon, therefore leaving 89 extra spots.
* Prior to [[Generation VIII]], Generation I was the only generation not to feature the paired versions' mascots on the title screens, but instead included the first evolutionary stages of two starter Pokémon.
* Generation I is the only generation without:
** A playable female character, although [[Pokémon Red and Green beta#Female player character|evidence suggests plans]] for an intended female player character.
** More than one {{type|Dragon}} move.
* Generation I is the only generation that [[List of Pokémon by index number (Generation I)|indexes]] its Pokémon in order of creation instead of by Pokédex number.
* The Japanese releases of the Generation I games mark the only generation where two solitary core titles were released ([[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|Pokémon Blue]] and [[Pokémon Yellow Version|Pokémon Yellow]]).
* Generation I is the first generation in which the [[Kanto|introduced region]] has been [[remake|remade]] twice.

The '''2002-03 Modified format''' of the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] (now referred to as '''Standard format''') was the first update to the {{TCG|Standard format}} used in [[Wizards of the Coast]]'s DCI sanctioned tournaments, used between from August 3, 2002<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20020807174914/http://www.wizards.com:80/default.asp?x=pokemon/events/worldsfaq 2002 Pokémon World Championships - new Modified format]</ref> to August 31, 2003. With the transfer of the Pokémon TCG license from Wizards to Nintendo, it would be the last iteration of the Standard format used in DCI organized play.

This format only allowed cards from the {{TCG|Neo Genesis}} set on up through {{TCG|Skyridge}}, {{TCG|rotation|rotating}} out {{TCG|Team Rocket}}, {{TCG|Gym Heroes}}, and {{TCG|Gym Challenge}}. {{TCG ID|Neo Genesis|Sneasel|25}}, which was banned in the previous season, remained banned in this season. {{TCG ID|Neo Genesis|Slowking|14}} was also banned towards the end of 2002. This format was informally known as '''Neo-On''' or '''Neon'''.

2001-02 Modified format (TCG)

2021-03-09T16:46:24Z

Froggy25: /* Development History */ I forgot this one. The other infos should be correct.

{{FormatPrevNext | format=Modified | prev=None | next=2002-03 }}
The '''2001-02 Modified format''' of the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] (now referred to as '''Standard format''') was the first {{TCG|Standard format}} used in [[Wizards of the Coast]]'s DCI sanctioned tournaments, used between from September 1, 2001 to August 2, 2002. <ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20020807174914/http://www.wizards.com:80/default.asp?x=pokemon/events/worldsfaq 2002 Pokémon World Championships - new Modified format]</ref>

This format only allowed cards from the {{TCG|Team Rocket}} through the {{TCG|Legendary Collection}} expansions and the {{TCG|Wizards Black Star Promos}} released during this period. There were three exceptions as {{TCG ID|The Power of One|Ancient Mew|promo}}, {{TCG ID|Wizards Promo|_____'s Pikachu|24}}, and {{TCG ID|Neo Genesis|Sneasel|25}} were banned immediately. This format was informally known as '''Rocket-On'''.

==Development History==
The metagame of the Pokémon TCG before the introduction of the Modified Format in 2001 was dominated by decks which consisted mostly of {{TCG|Trainer card}}s and very little {{TCG|Pokémon card}}s. Some deck archetypes, such as {{TCG|Haymaker}}, ran at least 25 Trainer cards, sometimes as many as 40, while only having only between 8 and 12 Pokémon cards. Players during this time disparagingly nicknamed the game "Trainermon", as players felt that this reliance on Trainer cards went against the spirit of the game.

Because [[Media Factory]]'s philosophy for the game was—at the time—different from Wizards', the solutions that Wizards' usually relied upon to help maintain a viable tournament scene were initially not allowed to be used. For example, Media Factory would not allow Wizards to mass ban cards from organized play like they could with Magic The Gathering, nor could Wizards change a card's game text so that it would be more balanced upon release in the West. Wizards thus had their hands tied to Media Factory's desires for the game, and so Wizards began experimenting with a new tournament format in order to help fix the game.

This new tournament format was called '''Prop 15''' or '''Prop 15/3''', and was used during the 2000 East Coast Super Trainer Showdown qualifiers and during the main ECSTS event on November 18-19, 2000 in Secaucus, NJ<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20010818071654/http://www.wizards.com/pokemon/main.asp?x=NJ00/welcome 2000 East Coast Super Trainer Showdown Secaucus, NJ Results - November 18, 2000]</ref>. This format did not restrict what sets players could build a deck from, nor would it ban certain cards, like the Modified Format eventually would. Rather, it would restrict players from using more than 15 Trainer cards in their deck, and no more than 3 Trainer cards of the same name. This format ultimately proved to be very unpopular with players, and was also associated with the elimination of the Age 15+ Division during the ECSTS qualifiers and main event, and so it was no longer used after the 2000 ECSTS.

Because of the unpopularity of Prop 15, the Modified Format was announced during a Wizards of the Coast chat on August 10, 2001<ref>[http://www.pojo.com/features/0801/81001WotcChat.html WOTC CHAT REPORT August 10, 2001 - by CHRISBO]</ref>. Unlike Prop 15, Modified allowed users to use as many Trainer cards as they wanted within the normal rules of the game, but limited players from using certain sets; in this case, starting from Team Rocket on. This gave Wizards the ability to remove broken Trainer cards from sanctioned tournament play without banning them outright. Furthermore, Wizards was also allowed by Media Factory to finally ban a single card, Sneasel, from tournament play. The format itself was based on the "Type 2" Format Wizards used for Magic The Gathering at the time, which only allowed cards from the sets released within the last two years. Magic's "Type 2" Format has since been renamed as "Standard" as well.

The fundamental concepts of the Modified Format—namely rotating out old sets and banning of certain, unbalanced cards—stood the test of time, long after Wizards ceased production of the game, and has long since replaced the Unlimited Format as the main format for sanctioned play, until the introduction of the {{TCG|Expanded format}} during the {{TCG|2014-15 Expanded format|2014-2015 season}}.

==Play period==
DCI sanctioned tournaments began using the Modified Format during the 2001-2002 season, starting with the qualifiers for the upcoming 2001 West Coast Super Trainer Showdown.

*'''North America:''' September 1, 2001 to August 2, 2002
*'''Europe:''' September 1, 2001 to August 2, 2002
*'''Japan:''' Since the Japanese tournaments were not DCI sanctioned tournaments, Japan did not use this format.

The '''Theater Limited VS Pack''' (Japanese: '''劇場限定VSパック''' ''Theater Limited VS Pack'') is a Japanese-exclusive {{TCG|Half Deck}} for the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] released in conjunction with the Japanese screening of ''[[M05|Pokémon Heroes: Latios & Latias]]''.

==Information==
The {{TCG|Half Deck}} was released on July 13, 2002. It focuses on the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Latios}} and {{p|Latias}}, as well as several {{TCG|Owner's Pokémon}} and some that are native to [[Alto Mare]], the central location in the movie. The cards use e-Card stock in the same fashion as those from the {{TCG|Pokémon VS}} expansion, and also feature the same "VS" symbol that appears on the Pokémon VS expansion cards. As with Pokémon VS, [[Wizards of the Coast]] did not translate these cards following their statement that such cards were inappropriate for competitive play. All of the cards exclusive to the Half Deck were therefore never released outside of Japan.

In addition to the cards, the {{TCG|Half Deck}} contains a rulebook, {{DL|Appendix:Glossary (TCG)|Damage|damage counters}}, {{TCG|Special Conditions|status counters}}, and a {{TCG|Coin|custom coin}}.

===Trivia===
*This is the only Pokémon Movie Half Deck with [[e-Reader]] compatibility. In addition, [[Misty's Politoed (Theater VS Pack 3)|three cards]] [[Misty's Corsola (Theater VS Pack 4)|from]] [[Ross's Wailmer (Theater VS Pack 5)|the deck]] also contain dot codes for a minigame, [[Big Fruit Strategy!]].
*This is also the only time a {{p|Wailmer|Pokémon}} from [[Generation III]] has received this treatment.

The [[Pokémon]] franchise first reached '''{{wp|France}}''' in September 1999 with the airing of ''[[EP001|Le départ]]'' on French television. The release of [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions]] in the French language followed on October 8, 1999.

==Pokémon video games==
All of the [[core series]] Pokémon games have been released in France. All of the [[spin-off Pokémon games]] have been released in France as well, including [[Pokémon Project Studio Red and Blue]]. The only Pokémon game that hasn't been released in France is [[Pokémon Conquest]], though its English version has been sold in {{wp|Belgium}} and {{wp|Switzerland}}. As in the rest of Europe, [[Pokémon Trozei!]] is sold under the title '''Pokémon Link!'''. All Pokémon games sold in France have been translated into the French language.

With some exceptions such as {{p|Pikachu}}, most of the Pokémon species names are completely localized into the French language. For more information on these translated names, see [[list of French Pokémon names]].

==Pokémon anime==
{{incomplete|section|Info on {{series|Best Wishes}} and {{series|XY}}, more info on movies and specials, the home video section is also missing some information}}
The French dub of the [[Pokémon anime]] has been recorded and produced by two different companies. '''Studio La Dame Blanche''' recorded the {{series|original}} and the {{series|Advanced Generation}}, while the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}} is currently recorded and produced by '''Sunstudio'''. The French dub is based on the English dub by [[4Kids Entertainment]] and [[The Pokémon Company International]]. Like the Pokémon species names, most characters in the anime were renamed in the French dub. However, a modified version of the dub up to ''[[S05|Master Quest]]'' was recorded by the same cast for export to French {{pmin|Canada}}, using English character and Pokémon names.

Pokémon currently airs on '''Disney XD France''' (formerly ''Fox Kids France'' and then ''Jetix France''), '''{{wp|Gulli}}''' and '''{{wp|Canal J}}'''. Previously, the anime also aired on '''{{wp|TF1}}''''s children's programming block, ''Tfou''.

The first four episodes of the ''[[S18|Pokémon, la série XY: La Quête de Kalos]]'' aired on May 1, 2015 with the special episode ''[[SS029|Mega Evolution Special I]]'' on '''{{wp|Canal J}}'''. ''[[S19|Pokémon, la série : XYZ]]'' premiered on April 13, 2016, with the airing of the first four episodes of the season.

In France, the anime is available on [[Netflix]].

===Movies and specials===
[[File:European French DVD PMD2.png|thumb|200px|Cover of the DVD release of ''{{tt|Pokémon Donjon Mystère: Explorateurs du Temps et de l'Ombre|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Darkness}}'']]
The special episode ''[[SS020|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time & Darkness]]'' was released in France with the title ''{{tt|Pokémon Donjon Mystère: Explorateurs du Temps et de l'Ombre|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Darkness}}''. The special was available on a DVD which was given away with preorders of the games [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]]. The DVD contained both a French dub of the special as well as the Japanese version with French subtitles.

===Home releases===
[[File:European French DVD Planète Pokémon 36.png|thumb|left|200px|Volume 36 of the ''{{tt|Planète Pokémon|Pokémon Planet}}'' DVD releases]]
The home video release of the European French dub of Pokémon has been handled by several companies. The earliest home releases of the [[original series]] were distributed by '''TF1 Vidéo''', though these releases are now out of print. Currently, the original series of the anime is distributed by '''Editions Atlas''', which has released the episodes as a series titled ''{{tt|Planète Pokémon|Pokémon Planet}}''. The ''Planète Pokémon'' collection begins at [[EP001]] and ends at [[EP157]]. The collection includes ''[[Holiday Hi-Jynx]]'' and ''[[Snow Way Out!]]'', which, like in [[List of English language Indigo League home video releases (Region 1)|the Region 1 English releases]], are sequenced between [[EP064]] and [[EP065]].

Currently, ''[[S08|Pokémon: Advanced Battle]]'' and ''[[S09|Pokémon: Battle Frontier]]'' are available in boxed sets which are distributed by '''Zylo'''. These releases come in carrying cases with a handle. The [[Pokémon movie]]s are currently distributed by '''France Télévisions Distribution'''.

===Music===
{{main|List of French Pokémon themes}}
All theme songs used in the French dub of the Pokémon anime are translated versions of the English themes used by [[4Kids Entertainment]] and [[The Pokémon Company International]].

Two Pokémon soundtrack albums have been released in France. The first, ''{{tt|Pokémon - Bande originale de la série TV|Pokémon - Original songs from the TV series}}'', is a translation of [[Pokémon 2.B.A. Master]]. A special edition version of this soundtrack was released with a five-track bonus disc containing two remixes of [[Pokémon (Dance Mix)|Pokédance]], two remixes of the English [[Pokémon (Dance Mix)]], and a rerecorded version of [[Misty's Song|La Chanson d'Ondine]] sung by Barbi Schiller. The second album to be released in France was ''{{tt|Voyage à Johto|Journey to Johto}}'', a translation of [[Totally Pokémon]]. ''Voyage à Johto'' contained two bonus tracks: the opening theme ''[[Pokémon Johto|Voyage à Johto]]'' and ''[[Pikachu (I Choose You)|Pikachu (À l'attaque)]]'' sung by the group Les MiniGirls.

One single was released in France as well: ''{{tt|Un Monde Pokémon|A Pokémon World}}'', a translated version of the {{single|Pokémon World}} single.

===Cast and crew===
Many voice actors and actresses have contributed to the production of the French dub of the Pokémon anime. All of the voice actors are based in {{pmin|Belgium}}.

The director of the dub is '''Jean-Daniel Nicodème''', who also provides the voice of the [[narrator]], [[Wattson]] (known in France as ''Voltère'') and [[Crasher Wake]] (''Lovis'' in French). '''Jean-Marc Anthony Kabeya''' performs the vocals for many of the theme songs.

[[Ash Ketchum]] (whose first name became ''Sacha'' in French) is voiced by '''Aurélien Ringelheim'''. {{an|Misty}} (known as ''Ondine'') is voiced by '''Fanny Roy''', who also provides the voice for [[Tate and Liza|Tate]] (''Levy''). [[Tracey Sketchit]] (''Jacky Léon'') was voiced by '''Bruno Mullenaerts'''.

{{an|May}} (''Flora'') is voiced by '''Maia Baran'''. Her brother, [[Max]], is voiced by '''Guylaine Gibert''', who also provides the voice of [[Officer Jenny]] (''Agent Jenny''). '''Lydia Cherton''' provided the voice of [[Nurse Joy]] (''Infirmière Joëlle'') before she moved to France.

{{an|Dawn}} (''Aurore'') is voiced by '''Alexandra Corréa'''. Her rival, [[Zoey]] (''Zoé''), is voiced by '''Claire Tefnin'''.

[[Jessie]] is voiced by '''Catherine Conet''', who also provides the voice of [[Delia Ketchum]]. [[James]] has been voiced for the entire series by '''David Manet'''. {{MTR}} (''Miaouss'') was voiced by '''Nessym Guetat''' from [[EP002]]-[[AG145]]. Starting from [[AG146]], he has been voiced by '''Philippe Tasquin''' because Guetat had moved to France. The boss of [[Team Rocket]], [[Giovanni]], is voiced by '''Patrick Deschamps'''.

[[Gary Oak]] (''Régis Chen'') has been voiced by '''Jean-Marc Delhausse''' and '''Lionel Bourguet'''. Gary's grandfather, [[Professor Oak]] (''Professeur Chen''), is also voiced by Delhausse.

Ash was voiced by '''Charles Pestel''', Misty by '''Anouck Hautbois''', Brock by '''Pascal Nowak''', Jessie by '''Chantal Baroin''', and James by '''Thomas Roditi'''.<ref>http://doublagefrancophone.lebonforum.com/t312p15-pokemon-les-films-depuis-1999</ref> [[M06]] was also dubbed in France, with a completely different cast from M04 and M07, including '''Valérie Nosrée''' as [[Jessie]] and '''Luc Boulad''' as James.

[[Pokémon Generations]] was dubbed at Deluxe Media Paris, with voice direction by Nathanel Alimi. The dubbing cast included '''Donald Reignoux''' as {{ga|Blue}}, Charles Pestel as [[Tabitha]], and Pascal Nowak as [[Burgh]], among others.

==Pokémon Trading Card Game==
The [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] reached France on November 18, 1999 with the release of the {{TCG|Base Set}}. As in North America, the Pokémon Trading Card Game was originally distributed by [[Wizards of the Coast]] and later by [[The Pokémon Company International]] after Wizards lost their license to distribute the TCG.

France has received all of the same expansion sets that have been released in North America except for {{TCG|Gym Heroes}}, {{TCG|Gym Challenge}}, {{TCG|Skyridge}}, {{TCG|Base Set 2}}, {{TCG|Legendary Collection}}, {{TCG|Southern Islands}}, {{TCG|EX Team Rocket Returns}}, and {{TCG|Arceus}}. The most recent expansion set to be released in French is {{TCG|Lost Thunder|Tonnerre Perdu}}.

French-language cards are recognized as tournament legal for [[Play! Pokémon]]. Despite the differences in Pokémon and character names, cards from France are exported to {{pmin|Canada}} for sale in the province of {{wp|Québec}} and other French-speaking regions.

==Pokémon manga==
Many [[Pokémon manga]] have been translated into European French.

[[Magical Pokémon Journey]] was translated as '''Pikachu Adventures!''' by '''Glénat'''. Only the first five volumes were translated, after which the series was discontinued due to copyright issues. Most of the human characters receive unique names: [[Hazel]] is named "Marin" and [[Almond]] is named "Armand". This manga was published in a left-to-right format with reversed artwork, as that is the format which French comics are typically published. Glénat also published a translation of [[Pokémon Gotta Catch 'Em All]] (translated as '''{{tt|Pokémon: Attrapez-les tous!|Pokémon: Catch 'em all!}}'''), although only the first two volumes were translated, as the series did not perform well in France.

[[Pokémon Adventures]] was first translated into French by Glénat using the title '''{{tt|Pokémon: La Grande Aventure!|Pokémon: The Big Adventure!}}'''. Originally, Glénat split each volume into two separate monthly issues, and then later republished the rounds in their original volume format. Only the first six volumes were published, as Glénat suddenly had to discontinue their edition due to copyright issues. {{Adv|Red}} and {{Adv|Blue}} were renamed to "Sacha" and "Régis", the names used for {{Ash}} and {{Gary}} in the {{pkmn|anime}}. {{Adv|Green}} was renamed to "Olga", and {{Adv|Yellow}} to "Jamy". Other characters such as [[Professor Oak]] receive their names from the French versions of the games. This manga was published in a left-to-right format with reversed artwork. Beginning in 2011, the {{chap|Black & White}} of [[Pokémon Adventures]] started being translated into French by publisher '''Kurokawa''' under the title '''{{tt|Pokémon Noir et Blanc|Pokémon Black and White}}'''. The rounds are being collected directly from the magazine publication and are unique from [[VIZ Media]]'s translation of the chapter. The [[Pokémon Black and White volume 1 (France)|first French volume]] was released on September 8, 2011. Kurokawa's translation of the {{chap|Black & White}} retains the original right-to-left Japanese reading order. In April 2014, it was announced by Kurokawa that they would be rereleasing the {{chap|Red, Green & Blue}} and the {{chap|Yellow}} in a set of three omnibus volumes, beginning on June 12, 2014 with [[Pokémon Adventures omnibus 1|volume one]]. This release, while continuing to use the "Pokémon: La Grande Adventure!" name, features an entirely new translation more faithful to the original Japanese version and consistent with Kurokawa's release of the ''Black & White'' chapter. Following the completion and success of these story arcs, Kurokawa began releasing an omnibus French translation of the {{chap|Ruby & Sapphire}} and a French translation of the {{chap|X & Y}} mini-volumes published in Japan.

Kurokawa has also translated four of the movie manga adaptations into French - {{ma|Zoroark: Master of Illusions}} ('''{{tt|Zoroark: Le Maître des Illusions|Zoroark: Master of Illusions}}'''), {{ma|White—Victini and Zekrom}} ('''{{tt|Pokémon, le Film Blanc—Victini Et Zekrom|Pokémon, the movie White—Victini and Zekrom}}'''), {{ma|Kyurem VS. The Sword of Justice}} ('''{{tt|Kyurem VS la Lame de la Justice|Kyurem VS the Sword of Justice}}''') and {{ma|Genesect and the Legend Awakened}} ('''{{tt|Genesect et l'éveil de la légende|Genesect and the awakening of the legend}}''').

[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Ginji's Rescue Team]] was translated with the title '''{{tt|Pokémon Donjon Mystère: Les secouristes de Ginji|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Ginji's rescuers}}'''. Unlike the other manga published in France, Pokémon Donjon Mystère: Les secouristes de Ginji was translated directly by [[Nintendo]] of France. It was the first manga in France that was published in the original right-to-left format with artwork unaltered from the Japanese version. It was published in two volumes of three chapters each which were given away in issues 52 and 53 of Nintendo Magazine.

==Pokémon merchandise==
[[File:Le problème de Pikachu cover.png|thumb|200px|{{tt|Le problème de Pikachu|Pikachu's problem}}, the first novel in Hachette Jeunesse's Pokémon anime novelization series]]
Many different types of Pokémon toys, plush dolls, games, and other collectibles have been released in France. Many Pokémon toys which are manufactured by [[Jakks Pacific]] in North America, such as the Sinnoh Region Playset, are distributed in France by {{wp|Bandai}}. Additionally, world-renowned German puzzle manufacturer {{wp|Ravensburger}} has released several Pokémon-themed puzzles in France.

The [[Pokémon anime novelization series]] was translated into European French by {{wp|Gallimard Jeunesse}}. Beginning in 2012, a [[Pokémon anime novelization series (France)|new series of chapter book adaptations]] was released by {{wp|Hachette (publisher)|Hachette Jeunesse}}. These novels are adapted from the {{series|Best Wishes}} and the {{series|XY}} of the anime and were not based directly on any previous novels. There are currently 33 novels in the series as well as one choose-your-own-adventure novel.

[[Hasbro]]'s [[Pokémon Battling Coin Game]] received a French release in the late 1990s, known under the title ''{{tt|Pokémon Combat de Pièces|Pokémon Coin Battle}}''. In the early 2000s, collectible cardboard discs called [[Pokémon Be Yaps]] were available. Other collectibles available in France include the [[Pokémon Advanced Action Cards]] and [[Pokémon Trading Cards series 1]].

For a period of time after the game's release, there were special {{game|Platinum}} merchandise items available for purchase on [[Nintendo]]'s [http://www.nintendo.fr/NOE/fr_FR/club_nintendo/stars_catalogue_5823.html# official French website]: A red t-shirt or polo shirt featuring the Pokémon Platinum logo, a rubber ball featuring Giratina's Origin Forme, and a Giratina bookmark. However, these items are no longer available.

==Community==
The biggest Pokémon fan sites based in France are PokéBip, Pokémon Espace, Eternia, Pokémon Trash and [[Pokémon-France]]. Pokégraph is the biggest French community of Pokémon drawing and artwork. Additionally, the French language member of [[Encyclopædiæ Pokémonis]], [[Poképédia]], is also based in France.

==Events==
[[File:Pokémon Center Paris logo.png|thumb|120px|left|Logo for Pokémon Center Paris]]
{{bulbanews/2|Pokémon Masters 2005 to entertain Parisians|Temporary Pokémon Center to open in Paris}}
An event called Pokémon Masters 2005 was held in Paris from September 17-18, 2005. It was organized by many fan sites, including [[Pokémon-France]], and was sponsored by official companies including [[Nintendo]] and {{wp|Bandai}}. The event included championship battles for {{game5|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald|FireRed|LeafGreen}} and a [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] championship tournament (the latter of which was the official introduction of [[Play! Pokémon|Pokémon Organized Play]] in France). Additionally, the event featured a demo of [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]] (which would be released in Europe two months later, in November 2005), displays of anime and game merchandise, and distributions of the {{DL|Event item|AuroraTicket}}.

Similar events were held previously on October 30–31, 2004 (titled Pokélord Masters 2004; named after Pokémon-France's previous name, Pokélord) and subsequently on December 2–3, 2006 (titled Festival Pokémon).

==Information==
'''Lost Thunder''' is the name given to the eighth main expansion of the ''Sun & Moon Series'' of the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]]. In Japan, it was released as '''Super-Burst Impact''', the eighth expansion in the Pokémon Card Game Sun & Moon Era. It is based on [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]]. It features the Legendary Pokémon {{p|Lugia}}, the Mythical Pokémon {{p|Zeraora}}, and the Ultra Beast {{p|Blacephalon}}. The Japanese expansion was released on September 7, 2018, followed by the release of the English expansion on November 2, 2018.

With 236 cards, Lost Thunder becomes the largest English-language set by some margin, finally exceeding the long-standing record of 186 held by {{TCG|Aquapolis}} since January 2003. It includes 13 new {{TCG|Pokémon-GX}}, 7 new {{TCG|Prism Star}} cards and several Pokémon native to the [[Alola]] and [[Johto]] regions. The Japanese equivalent Super-Burst Impact contains 111 cards.

Pokémon in France

2019-01-01T21:44:58Z

Froggy25: /* Pokémon Trading Card Game */ There was something wrong with that date, I was pretty sure there were christmas adverts at the time I started playing

The [[Pokémon]] franchise first reached '''{{wp|France}}''' in September 1999 with the airing of ''[[EP001|Le départ]]'' on French television. The release of [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions]] in the French language followed on October 8, 1999.

==Pokémon video games==
All of the [[core series]] Pokémon games have been released in France. All of the [[spin-off Pokémon games]] have been released in France as well, including [[Pokémon Project Studio Red and Blue]]. The only Pokémon game that hasn't been released in France is [[Pokémon Conquest]], though its English version has been sold in {{wp|Belgium}} and {{wp|Switzerland}}. As in the rest of Europe, [[Pokémon Trozei!]] is sold under the title '''Pokémon Link!'''. All Pokémon games sold in France have been translated into the French language.

With some exceptions such as {{p|Pikachu}}, most of the Pokémon species names are completely localized into the French language. For more information on these translated names, see [[list of French Pokémon names]].

==Pokémon anime==
{{incomplete|section|Info on {{series|Best Wishes}} and {{series|XY}}, more info on movies and specials, the home video section is also missing some information}}
The French dub of the [[Pokémon anime]] has been recorded and produced by two different companies. '''Studio La Dame Blanche''' recorded the {{series|original}} and the {{series|Advanced Generation}}, while the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}} is currently recorded and produced by '''Sunstudio'''. The French dub is based on the English dub by [[4Kids Entertainment]] and [[The Pokémon Company International]]. Like the Pokémon species names, most characters in the anime were renamed in the French dub. However, a modified version of the dub up to ''[[S05|Master Quest]]'' was recorded by the same cast for export to French {{pmin|Canada}}, using English character and Pokémon names.

Pokémon currently airs on '''Disney XD France''' (formerly ''Fox Kids France'' and then ''Jetix France''), '''{{wp|Gulli}}''' and '''{{wp|Canal J}}'''. Previously, the anime also aired on '''{{wp|TF1}}''''s children's programming block, ''Tfou''.

The first four episodes of the ''[[S18|Pokémon, la série XY: La Quête de Kalos]]'' aired on May 1, 2015 with the special episode ''[[SS029|Mega Evolution Special I]]'' on '''{{wp|Canal J}}'''. ''[[S19|Pokémon, la série : XYZ]]'' premiered on April 13, 2016, with the airing of the first four episodes of the season.

In France, the anime is available on [[Netflix]].

The special was available on a DVD which was given away with preorders of the games [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]]. The DVD contained both a French dub of the special as well as the Japanese version with French subtitles.

===Home releases===
[[File:European French DVD Planète Pokémon 36.png|thumb|left|200px|Volume 36 of the ''{{tt|Planète Pokémon|Pokémon Planet}}'' DVD releases]]
The home video release of the European French dub of Pokémon has been handled by several companies. The earliest home releases of the [[original series]] were distributed by '''TF1 Vidéo''', though these releases are now out of print. Currently, the original series of the anime is distributed by '''Editions Atlas''', which has released the episodes as a series titled ''{{tt|Planète Pokémon|Pokémon Planet}}''. The ''Planète Pokémon'' collection begins at [[EP001]] and ends at [[EP157]]. The collection includes ''[[Holiday Hi-Jynx]]'' and ''[[Snow Way Out!]]'', which, like in [[List of English language Indigo League home video releases (Region 1)|the Region 1 English releases]], are sequenced between [[EP064]] and [[EP065]].

Currently, ''[[S08|Pokémon: Advanced Battle]]'' and ''[[S09|Pokémon: Battle Frontier]]'' are available in boxed sets which are distributed by '''Zylo'''. These releases come in carrying cases with a handle. The [[Pokémon movie]]s are currently distributed by '''France Télévisions Distribution'''.

===Music===
{{main|List of French Pokémon themes}}
All theme songs used in the French dub of the Pokémon anime are translated versions of the English themes used by [[4Kids Entertainment]] and [[The Pokémon Company International]].

Two Pokémon soundtrack albums have been released in France. The first, ''{{tt|Pokémon - Bande originale de la série TV|Pokémon - Original songs from the TV series}}'', is a translation of [[Pokémon 2.B.A. Master]]. A special edition version of this soundtrack was released with a five-track bonus disc containing two remixes of [[Pokémon (Dance Mix)|Pokédance]], two remixes of the English [[Pokémon (Dance Mix)]], and a rerecorded version of [[Misty's Song|La Chanson d'Ondine]] sung by Barbi Schiller. The second album to be released in France was ''{{tt|Voyage à Johto|Journey to Johto}}'', a translation of [[Totally Pokémon]]. ''Voyage à Johto'' contained two bonus tracks: the opening theme ''[[Pokémon Johto|Voyage à Johto]]'' and ''[[Pikachu (I Choose You)|Pikachu (À l'attaque)]]'' sung by the group Les MiniGirls.

One single was released in France as well: ''{{tt|Un Monde Pokémon|A Pokémon World}}'', a translated version of the {{single|Pokémon World}} single.

===Cast and crew===
Many voice actors and actresses have contributed to the production of the French dub of the Pokémon anime. All of the voice actors are based in {{pmin|Belgium}}.

The director of the dub is '''Jean-Daniel Nicodème''', who also provides the voice of the [[narrator]], [[Wattson]] (known in France as ''Voltère'') and [[Crasher Wake]] (''Lovis'' in French). '''Jean-Marc Anthony Kabeya''' performs the vocals for many of the theme songs.

[[Ash Ketchum]] (whose first name became ''Sacha'' in French) is voiced by '''Aurélien Ringelheim'''. {{an|Misty}} (known as ''Ondine'') is voiced by '''Fanny Roy''', who also provides the voice for [[Tate and Liza|Tate]] (''Levy''). [[Tracey Sketchit]] (''Jacky Léon'') was voiced by '''Bruno Mullenaerts'''.

[[Pokémon Generations]] was dubbed at Deluxe Media Paris, with voice direction by Nathanel Alimi. The dubbing cast included '''Donald Reignoux''' as {{ga|Blue}}, Charles Pestel as [[Tabitha]], and Pascal Nowak as [[Burgh]], among others.

==Pokémon Trading Card Game==
The [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] reached France on November 18, 1999 with the release of the {{TCG|Base Set}}. As in North America, the Pokémon Trading Card Game was originally distributed by [[Wizards of the Coast]] and later by [[The Pokémon Company International]] after Wizards lost their license to distribute the TCG.

France has received all of the same expansion sets that have been released in North America except for {{TCG|Gym Heroes}}, {{TCG|Gym Challenge}}, {{TCG|Skyridge}}, {{TCG|Base Set 2}}, {{TCG|Legendary Collection}}, {{TCG|Southern Islands}}, {{TCG|EX Team Rocket Returns}}, and {{TCG|Arceus}}. The most recent expansion set to be released in French is {{TCG|Crimson Invasion|Invasion Carmin}}.

French-language cards are recognized as tournament legal for [[Play! Pokémon]]. Despite the differences in Pokémon and character names, cards from France are exported to {{pmin|Canada}} for sale in the province of {{wp|Québec}} and other French-speaking regions.

==Pokémon manga==
Many [[Pokémon manga]] have been translated into European French.

[[Magical Pokémon Journey]] was translated as '''Pikachu Adventures!''' by '''Glénat'''. Only the first five volumes were translated, after which the series was discontinued due to copyright issues. Most of the human characters receive unique names: [[Hazel]] is named "Marin" and [[Almond]] is named "Armand". This manga was published in a left-to-right format with reversed artwork, as that is the format which French comics are typically published. Glénat also published a translation of [[Pokémon Gotta Catch 'Em All]] (translated as '''{{tt|Pokémon: Attrapez-les tous!|Pokémon: Catch 'em all!}}'''), although only the first two volumes were translated, as the series did not perform well in France.

[[Pokémon Adventures]] was first translated into French by Glénat using the title '''{{tt|Pokémon: La Grande Aventure!|Pokémon: The Big Adventure!}}'''. Originally, Glénat split each volume into two separate monthly issues, and then later republished the rounds in their original volume format. Only the first six volumes were published, as Glénat suddenly had to discontinue their edition due to copyright issues. {{Adv|Red}} and {{Adv|Blue}} were renamed to "Sacha" and "Régis", the names used for {{Ash}} and {{Gary}} in the {{pkmn|anime}}. {{Adv|Green}} was renamed to "Olga", and {{Adv|Yellow}} to "Jamy". Other characters such as [[Professor Oak]] receive their names from the French versions of the games. This manga was published in a left-to-right format with reversed artwork. Beginning in 2011, the {{chap|Black & White}} of [[Pokémon Adventures]] started being translated into French by publisher '''Kurokawa''' under the title '''{{tt|Pokémon Noir et Blanc|Pokémon Black and White}}'''. The rounds are being collected directly from the magazine publication and are unique from [[VIZ Media]]'s translation of the chapter. The [[Pokémon Black and White volume 1 (France)|first French volume]] was released on September 8, 2011. Kurokawa's translation of the {{chap|Black & White}} retains the original right-to-left Japanese reading order. In April 2014, it was announced by Kurokawa that they would be rereleasing the {{chap|Red, Green & Blue}} and the {{chap|Yellow}} in a set of three omnibus volumes, beginning on June 12, 2014 with [[Pokémon Adventures omnibus 1|volume one]]. This release, while continuing to use the "Pokémon: La Grande Adventure!" name, features an entirely new translation more faithful to the original Japanese version and consistent with Kurokawa's release of the ''Black & White'' chapter. Following the completion and success of these story arcs, Kurokawa began releasing an omnibus French translation of the {{chap|Ruby & Sapphire}} and a French translation of the {{chap|X & Y}} mini-volumes published in Japan.

Kurokawa has also translated four of the movie manga adaptations into French - {{ma|Zoroark: Master of Illusions}} ('''{{tt|Zoroark: Le Maître des Illusions|Zoroark: Master of Illusions}}'''), {{ma|White—Victini and Zekrom}} ('''{{tt|Pokémon, le Film Blanc—Victini Et Zekrom|Pokémon, the movie White—Victini and Zekrom}}'''), {{ma|Kyurem VS. The Sword of Justice}} ('''{{tt|Kyurem VS la Lame de la Justice|Kyurem VS the Sword of Justice}}''') and {{ma|Genesect and the Legend Awakened}} ('''{{tt|Genesect et l'éveil de la légende|Genesect and the awakening of the legend}}''').

[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Ginji's Rescue Team]] was translated with the title '''{{tt|Pokémon Donjon Mystère: Les secouristes de Ginji|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Ginji's rescuers}}'''. Unlike the other manga published in France, Pokémon Donjon Mystère: Les secouristes de Ginji was translated directly by [[Nintendo]] of France. It was the first manga in France that was published in the original right-to-left format with artwork unaltered from the Japanese version. It was published in two volumes of three chapters each which were given away in issues 52 and 53 of Nintendo Magazine.

==Pokémon merchandise==
[[File:Le problème de Pikachu cover.png|thumb|200px|{{tt|Le problème de Pikachu|Pikachu's problem}}, the first novel in Hachette Jeunesse's Pokémon anime novelization series]]
Many different types of Pokémon toys, plush dolls, games, and other collectibles have been released in France. Many Pokémon toys which are manufactured by [[Jakks Pacific]] in North America, such as the Sinnoh Region Playset, are distributed in France by {{wp|Bandai}}. Additionally, world-renowned German puzzle manufacturer {{wp|Ravensburger}} has released several Pokémon-themed puzzles in France.

The [[Pokémon anime novelization series]] was translated into European French by {{wp|Gallimard Jeunesse}}. Beginning in 2012, a [[Pokémon anime novelization series (France)|new series of chapter book adaptations]] was released by {{wp|Hachette (publisher)|Hachette Jeunesse}}. These novels are adapted from the {{series|Best Wishes}} and the {{series|XY}} of the anime and were not based directly on any previous novels. There are currently 33 novels in the series as well as one choose-your-own-adventure novel.

[[Hasbro]]'s [[Pokémon Battling Coin Game]] received a French release in the late 1990s, known under the title ''{{tt|Pokémon Combat de Pièces|Pokémon Coin Battle}}''. In the early 2000s, collectible cardboard discs called [[Pokémon Be Yaps]] were available. Other collectibles available in France include the [[Pokémon Advanced Action Cards]] and [[Pokémon Trading Cards series 1]].

For a period of time after the game's release, there were special {{game|Platinum}} merchandise items available for purchase on [[Nintendo]]'s [http://www.nintendo.fr/NOE/fr_FR/club_nintendo/stars_catalogue_5823.html# official French website]: A red t-shirt or polo shirt featuring the Pokémon Platinum logo, a rubber ball featuring Giratina's Origin Forme, and a Giratina bookmark. However, these items are no longer available.

==Community==
The biggest Pokémon fan sites based in France are PokéBip, Pokémon Espace, Eternia, Pokémon Trash and [[Pokémon-France]]. Pokégraph is the biggest French community of Pokémon drawing and artwork. Additionally, the French language member of [[Encyclopædiæ Pokémonis]], [[Poképédia]], is also based in France.

==Events==
[[File:Pokémon Center Paris logo.png|thumb|120px|left|Logo for Pokémon Center Paris]]
{{bulbanews/2|Pokémon Masters 2005 to entertain Parisians|Temporary Pokémon Center to open in Paris}}
An event called Pokémon Masters 2005 was held in Paris from September 17-18, 2005. It was organized by many fan sites, including [[Pokémon-France]], and was sponsored by official companies including [[Nintendo]] and {{wp|Bandai}}. The event included championship battles for {{game5|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald|FireRed|LeafGreen}} and a [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] championship tournament (the latter of which was the official introduction of [[Play! Pokémon|Pokémon Organized Play]] in France). Additionally, the event featured a demo of [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]] (which would be released in Europe two months later, in November 2005), displays of anime and game merchandise, and distributions of the {{DL|Event item|AuroraTicket}}.

Similar events were held previously on October 30–31, 2004 (titled Pokélord Masters 2004; named after Pokémon-France's previous name, Pokélord) and subsequently on December 2–3, 2006 (titled Festival Pokémon). Ten different [[event Pokémon]] were distributed at Festival Pokémon in commemoration of the [[Pokémon 10th Anniversary]]: {{p|Charizard}}, {{p|Pikachu}}, {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Suicune}}, {{p|Raikou}}, {{p|Entei}}, {{p|Lugia}}, {{p|Ho-Oh}}, {{p|Latias}} and {{p|Latios}}. All ten Pokémon have an OT of 10ANNIV and ID 06227, and are identical to the {{DL|List of French event Pokémon distributions in Generation III|Top 10 Distribution Pokémon}} from Toys"R"Us in Paris earlier in the year.

A temporary {{OBP|Pokémon Center|store}} store is opened in Paris from June 4, 2014 through June 21, 2014. The store featured an exhibition of illustrations from the [[Pokémon games]], interactive events for fans, and the opportunity to purchase merchandise brought over from the Japanese Pokémon Center shops.

Raindance (TCG)

2018-02-24T17:55:32Z

Froggy25: /* Typical deck list */ Rarity fixes

{{incomplete}}
'''Raindance''' is a [[deck archetype]] for the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]]. It was most commonly used when the {{TCG|Base Set}} was popular.

==Strategy==
The strategy of Raindance is to take advantage of {{TCG ID|Base Set|Blastoise|2}}'s {{TCG|Pokémon Power}}, Rain Dance, which allows the player to attach {{TCG|Water Energy}} cards as often as they like to their {{TCG|Water|Water-type}} Pokémon. Aside from Blastoise, many other Pokémon are included which also benefit from having large amounts of Water Energy available to do additional damage, such as {{TCG ID|Fossil|Lapras|10}} and {{TCG ID|Fossil|Seadra|42}}, which each have a Water Gun attack which increases in power with the number of Water Energy attached. Trainer cards used to supplement this strategy generally include cards which aid in the retrieval and play of Wartortle and Blastoise (such as {{TCG ID|Base Set|Pokémon Breeder|76}} and {{TCG ID|Base Set|Pokémon Trader|77}}) as well as cards to aid in obtaining more Water Energy in the player's hand (such as {{TCG ID|Base Set|Bill|91}} and {{TCG ID|Fossil|Energy Search|59}}). Ideally, with the use of Trainer cards, a player could have Blastoise in play by their second turn.

Froggy25: /* Trivia */ Blastoise can only attach Water energies to water Pokémon, Blastoise ex can attach Water energies to any Pokémon. This is by no mean "watered-down", especially since you attached the energies to Steelix ex / Lugia ex

'''Blastoise ex''' (Japanese: '''カメックスex''' ''Kamexex'') is a {{ct|Water}} Stage 2 {{TCG|Pokémon-ex}} card. It is part of the {{TCG|EX FireRed & LeafGreen}} expansion.

{{Cardtext/Footer}}

==Trivia==
* The effect of Hyper Whirlpool was later errata'd so that the player using the attack was the one who chose the Energy card to be discarded, not the player's opponent.
* Energy Rain is a retrained version of the Rain Dance [[Pokémon Power]] possessed by {{TCG|Base Set}} {{TCG ID|Base Set|Blastoise|2}}, a power so strong that it spawned [[Raindance (TCG)|one of the most popular deck archetypes of the Base Set era]].
* Incidentally, of the three final evolutions of Kanto starters made into {{TCG|Pokémon-ex}} in {{TCG|EX FireRed & LeafGreen}}, this is the only one without an attack roughly analogous to its Base Set counterpart, as well as the only one not to have two attacks.
===Origin===
Hyper Whirlpool is a variant of {{m|Whirlpool}}, a [[move]] in the [[Pokémon games]], though {{p|Blastoise}} can only learn it via [[HM06]] in [[Generation II]] and [[HM05]] in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}.

On the Non Holofoil Expedition Base Set print and the P Promotional print, the short strip contains [[Pokédex]] information, a brief card summary, and information on the content of the long strip. The species, height, and weight are present on the Holofoil Expedition Base Set print.
===Pokédex data===
{{Carddex

|name=Mew
|species=New Species
|ndex=151
|height=1'4"
|jheight=0.4
|weight=9
|jweight=4.0

}}

===Hidden attack===
The long strip contains data for an additional attack this card can use:
{{Cardtext/Header|type=Psychic}}
{{Cardtext/Attack
|type=Psychic
|cost={{e|Psychic}}{{e|Colorless}}
|name=Strange Wave
|jname=みちのはどう
|jtrans=Unknown Wave

==Release information==
This card was released in the English Expedition Base Set, originating from the Japanese {{TCG|Base Expansion Pack}}, with artwork by [[Hajime Kusajima]]. In Japan, it was reprinted as one of the {{TCG|P Promotional cards}} with different artwork by the same artist as part of a McDonald's promotion that ran between May 25 and June 16, 2002. It was later reprinted in the English {{TCG|EX Holon Phantoms}} expansion as a Holofoil {{TCG|Secret card}} with artwork by [[Ken Sugimori]]. This print originated as one of the Japanese {{TCG|PCG-P Promotional cards}}, and was available through a Meiji Chocolate campaign in June 2005. This print changes "number of Energy cards" in Super Psywave attack's effect to "amount of Energy", literally changing the effect from counting the cards to counting the Energy. A Non Holofoil version of the EX Holon Phantoms print was available in early DVD releases of ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]''.

Pokémon in France

Froggy25: /* Pokémon Trading Card Game */ Wow, since when was this not updated :D

}}
The [[Pokémon]] franchise first reached '''{{wp|France}}''' in September 1999 with the airing of ''[[EP001|Le départ]]'' on French television. The release of [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions]] in the French language followed on October 8, 1999.

==Pokémon video games==
All of the [[core series]] Pokémon games have been released in France. All of the [[spin-off Pokémon games]] have been released in France as well, including [[Pokémon Project Studio Red and Blue]]. The only Pokémon game that hasn't been released in France is [[Pokémon Conquest]], though its English version has been sold in {{wp|Belgium}} and {{wp|Switzerland}}. As in the rest of Europe, [[Pokémon Trozei!]] is sold under the title '''Pokémon Link!'''. All Pokémon games sold in France have been translated into the French language.

With some exceptions such as {{p|Pikachu}}, most of the Pokémon species names are completely localized into the French language. For more information on these translated names, see [[list of French Pokémon names]].

==Pokémon anime==
{{incomplete|section|Info on {{series|Best Wishes}} and {{series|XY}}, more info on movies and specials, the home video section is also missing some information}}
The French dub of the [[Pokémon anime]] has been recorded and produced by two different companies. '''Studio La Dame Blanche''' recorded the {{series|original}} and the {{series|Advanced Generation}}, while the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}} is currently recorded and produced by '''Sunstudio'''. The French dub is based on the English dub by [[4Kids Entertainment]] and [[The Pokémon Company International]]. Like the Pokémon species names, most characters in the anime were renamed in the French dub. However, a modified version of the dub up to ''Master Quest'' was recorded by the same cast for export to French {{pmin|Canada}}, using English character and Pokémon names.

Pokémon currently airs on '''Disney XD France''' (formerly ''Fox Kids France'' and then ''Jetix France''), '''{{wp|Gulli}}''' and '''{{wp|Canal J}}'''. Previously, the anime also aired on '''{{wp|TF1}}''''s children's programming block, ''Tfou''.

Two Pokémon soundtrack albums have been released in France. The first, ''{{tt|Pokémon - Bande originale de la série TV|Pokémon - Original songs from the TV series}}'', is a translation of [[Pokémon 2.B.A. Master]]. A special edition version of this soundtrack was released with a five-track bonus disc containing two remixes of [[Pokémon (Dance Mix)|Pokédance]], two remixes of the English [[Pokémon (Dance Mix)]], and a rerecorded version of [[Misty's Song|La Chanson d'Ondine]] sung by Barbi Schiller. The second album to be released in France was ''{{tt|Voyage à Johto|Journey to Johto}}'', a translation of [[Totally Pokémon]].

One single was released in France as well: ''{{tt|Un Monde Pokémon|A Pokémon World}}'', a translated version of the {{single|Pokémon World}} single.

===Cast and Crew===
Many voice actors and actresses have contributed to the production of the French dub of the Pokémon anime.

[[Ash Ketchum]] (whose first name became ''Sacha'' in French) is voiced by '''Aurélien Ringelheim'''. {{an|Misty}} (known as ''Ondine'') is voiced by '''Fanny Roy''', who also provides the voice for [[Tate and Liza|Tate]] (''Levy'').

==Pokémon Trading Card Game==
The [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] reached France on July 1, 2000 with the release of the {{TCG|Base Set}}. As in North America, the Pokémon Trading Card Game was originally distributed by [[Wizards of the Coast]] and later by [[The Pokémon Company International]] after Wizards lost their license to distribute the TCG.

France has received all of the same expansion sets that have been released in North America except for {{TCG|Gym Heroes}}, {{TCG|Gym Challenge}}, {{TCG|Skyridge}}, {{TCG|Base Set 2}}, {{TCG|Legendary Collection}}, {{TCG|Southern Islands}}, {{TCG|EX Team Rocket Returns}}, and {{TCG|Arceus}}. The most recent expansion set to be released in French is {{TCG|Crimson Invasion|Invasion Carmin}}.

French-language cards are recognized as tournament legal for [[Play! Pokémon]]. Despite the differences in Pokémon and character names, cards from France are exported to {{pmin|Canada}} for sale in the province of {{wp|Québec}} and other French-speaking regions.

==Pokémon manga==
Many [[Pokémon manga]] have been translated into European French.

[[Magical Pokémon Journey]] was translated as '''Pikachu Adventures!''' by '''Glénat'''. Only the first five volumes were translated, after which the series was discontinued due to copyright issues. Most of the human characters receive unique names: [[Hazel]] is named "Marin" and [[Almond]] is named "Armand". This manga was published in a left-to-right format with reversed artwork, as that is the format which French comics are typically published. Glénat also published a translation of [[Pokémon Gotta Catch 'Em All]] (translated as '''{{tt|Pokémon: Attrapez-les tous!|Pokémon: Catch 'em all!}}'''), although only the first two volumes were translated, as the series did not perform well in France.

[[Pokémon Adventures]] was first translated into French by Glénat using the title '''{{tt|Pokémon: La Grande Aventure!|Pokémon: The Big Adventure!}}'''. Originally, Glénat split each volume into two separate monthly issues, and then later republished the rounds in their original volume format. Only the first six volumes were published, as Glénat suddenly had to discontinue their edition due to copyright issues. {{Adv|Red}} and {{Adv|Blue}} were renamed to "Sacha" and "Régis", the names used for {{Ash}} and {{Gary}} in the {{pkmn|anime}}. {{Adv|Green}} was renamed to "Olga", and {{Adv|Yellow}} to "Jamy". Other characters such as [[Professor Oak]] receive their names from the French versions of the games. This manga was published in a left-to-right format with reversed artwork. Beginning in 2011, the {{chap|Black & White}} of [[Pokémon Adventures]] started being translated into French by publisher '''Kurokawa''' under the title '''{{tt|Pokémon Noir et Blanc|Pokémon Black and White}}'''. The rounds are being collected directly from the magazine publication and are unique from [[VIZ Media]]'s translation of the chapter. The [[Pokémon Black and White volume 1 (France)|first French volume]] was released on September 8, 2011. Kurokawa's translation of the {{chap|Black & White}} retains the original right-to-left Japanese reading order. In April 2014, it was announced by Kurokawa that they would be rereleasing the {{chap|Red, Green & Blue}} and the {{chap|Yellow}} in a set of three omnibus volumes, beginning on June 12, 2014 with [[Pokémon Adventures omnibus 1|volume one]]. This release, while continuing to use the "Pokémon: La Grande Adventure!" name, features an entirely new translation more faithful to the original Japanese version and consistent with Kurokawa's release of the ''Black & White'' chapter. Following the completion and success of these story arcs, Kurokawa began releasing an omnibus French translation of the {{chap|Ruby & Sapphire}} and a French translation of the {{chap|X & Y}} mini-volumes published in Japan.

Kurokawa has also translated four of the movie manga adaptations into French - {{ma|Zoroark: Master of Illusions}} ('''{{tt|Zoroark: Le Maître des Illusions|Zoroark: Master of Illusions}}'''), {{ma|White—Victini and Zekrom}} ('''{{tt|Pokémon, le Film Blanc—Victini Et Zekrom|Pokémon, the movie White—Victini and Zekrom}}'''), {{ma|Kyurem VS. The Sword of Justice}} ('''{{tt|Kyurem VS la Lame de la Justice|Kyurem VS the Sword of Justice}}''') and {{ma|Genesect and the Legend Awakened}} ('''{{tt|Genesect et l'éveil de la légende|Genesect and the awakening of the legend}}''').

[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Ginji's Rescue Team]] was translated with the title '''{{tt|Pokémon Donjon Mystère: Les secouristes de Ginji|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Ginji's rescuers}}'''. Unlike the other manga published in France, Pokémon Donjon Mystère: Les secouristes de Ginji was translated directly by [[Nintendo]] of France. It was the first manga in France that was published in the original right-to-left format with artwork unaltered from the Japanese version. It was published in two volumes of three chapters each which were given away in issues 52 and 53 of Nintendo Magazine.

Other collectibles available in France include the [[Pokémon Advanced Action Cards]] and [[Pokémon Trading Cards series 1]].

For a period of time after the game's release, there were special {{game|Platinum}} merchandise items available for purchase on [[Nintendo]]'s [http://www.nintendo.fr/NOE/fr_FR/club_nintendo/stars_catalogue_5823.html# official French website]: A red t-shirt or polo shirt featuring the Pokémon Platinum logo, a rubber ball featuring Giratina's Origin Forme, and a Giratina bookmark.

==Events==
[[File:Pokémon Center Paris logo.png|thumb|120px|left|Logo for Pokémon Center Paris]]
{{bulbanews/2|Pokémon Masters 2005 to entertain Parisians|Temporary Pokémon Center to open in Paris}}
An event called Pokémon Masters 2005 was held in Paris from September 17-18, 2005. It was organized by many fan sites, including [[Pokémon-France]], and was sponsored by official companies including [[Nintendo]] and {{wp|Bandai}}. The event included championship battles for {{game5|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald|FireRed|LeafGreen}} and a [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] championship tournament (the latter of which was the official introduction of [[Play! Pokémon|Pokémon Organized Play]] in France). Additionally, the event featured a demo of [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]] (which would be released in Europe two months later, in November 2005), displays of anime and game merchandise, and distributions of the {{DL|Event item|AuroraTicket}}.

Similar events were held previously on October 30–31, 2004 (titled Pokélord Masters 2004; named after Pokémon-France's previous name, Pokélord) and subsequently on December 2–3, 2006 (titled Festival Pokémon).

2001-02 Modified format (TCG)

2017-10-01T23:01:11Z

Froggy25: Forgot this one + ref

{{FormatPrevNext | prev=None | next=2002-03 }}
The '''2001-02 Modified format''' of the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] (now referred to as '''Standard format''') was the first {{TCG|Standard format}} used in [[Wizards of the Coast]]'s DCI sanctioned tournaments, used between from September 1, 2001 to August 2, 2002. <ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20020807174914/http://www.wizards.com:80/default.asp?x=pokemon/events/worldsfaq 2002 Pokémon World Championships - new Modified format]</ref>

This format only allowed cards from the {{TCG|Team Rocket}} through the {{TCG|Legendary Collection}} expansions and the {{TCG|Wizards Black Star Promos}} released during this period. There were three exceptions as {{TCG ID|The Power of One|Ancient Mew|promo}}, {{TCG ID|Wizards Promo|_____'s Pikachu|24}}, and {{TCG ID|Neo Genesis|Sneasel|25}} were banned immediately. This format was informally known as '''Rocket-On'''.

==Development History==
The metagame of the Pokémon TCG before the introduction of the Modified Format in 2001 was dominated by decks which consisted mostly of {{TCG|Trainer card}}s and very little {{TCG|Pokémon card}}s. Some deck archetypes, such as {{TCG|Haymaker}}, ran at least 25 Trainer cards, sometimes as many as 40, while only having only between 8 and 12 Pokémon cards. Players during this time disparagingly nicknamed the game "Trainermon", as players felt that this reliance on Trainer cards went against the spirit of the game.

Because [[Media Factory]]'s philosophy for the game was—at the time—different from Wizards', the solutions that Wizards' usually relied upon to help maintain a viable tournament scene were initially not allowed to be used. For example, Media Factory would not allow Wizards to mass ban cards from organized play like they could with Magic The Gathering, nor could Wizards change a card's game text so that it would be more balanced upon release in the West. Wizards thus had their hands tied to Media Factory's desires for the game, and so Wizards began experimenting with a new tournament format in order to help fix the game.

This new tournament format was called '''Prop 15''' or '''Prop 15/3''', and was used during the 2001 East Coast Super Trainer Showdown qualifiers and during the main ECSTS event on June 23-24, 2001 in Secaucus, NJ. This format did not restrict what sets players could build a deck from, nor would it ban certain cards, like the Modified Format eventually would. Rather, it would restrict players from using more than 15 Trainer cards in their deck, and no more than 3 Trainer cards of the same name. This format ultimately proved to be very unpopular with players, and was also associated with the elimination of the Age 15+ Division during the ECSTS qualifiers and main event, and so it was no longer used after the 2001 ECSTS.

Because of the unpopularity of Prop 15, the Modified Format was announced during a Wizards of the Coast chat on August 10, 2001<ref>[http://www.pojo.com/features/0801/81001WotcChat.html WOTC CHAT REPORT August 10, 2001 - by CHRISBO]</ref>. Unlike Prop 15, Modified allowed users to use as many Trainer cards as they wanted within the normal rules of the game, but limited players from using certain sets; in this case, starting from Team Rocket on. This gave Wizards the ability to remove broken Trainer cards from sanctioned tournament play without banning them outright. Furthermore, Wizards was also allowed by Media Factory to finally ban a single card, Sneasel, from tournament play. The format itself was based on the "Type 2" Format Wizards used for Magic The Gathering at the time, which only allowed cards from the sets released within the last two years. Magic's "Type 2" Format has since been renamed as "Standard" as well.

The fundamental concepts of the Modified Format—namely rotating out old sets and banning of certain, unbalanced cards—stood the test of time, long after Wizards ceased production of the game, and has long since replaced the Unlimited Format as the main format for sanctioned play, until the introduction of the {{TCG|Expanded format}} during the {{TCG|2014-15 Expanded format|2014-2015 season}}.

==Play period==
DCI sanctioned tournaments began using the Modified Format during the 2001-2002 season, starting with the qualifiers for the upcoming 2001 West Coast Super Trainer Showdown.

*'''North America:''' September 1, 2001 to August 2, 2002
*'''Europe:''' September 1, 2001 to August 2, 2002
*'''Japan:''' Since the Japanese tournaments were not DCI sanctioned tournaments, Japan did not use this format.

Pokémon Trading Card Game was followed, only in Japan, a year later by a sequel, titled [[Pokémon Card GB2: Here Comes Team GR!]]. It takes place on the [[TCG Island|Trading Card Game Island]] and the player's starting area is the [[Mason Laboratory]].

A [[Meowth (Wizards Promo 10)|promotional Meowth card]] was included with the English release of the Game Boy Color game. The Japanese version of the game included the special Legendary {{TCG ID|GB|Dragonite|1}}, only to be released in Japan.

==Plot==
The player begins his or her adventure at [[Mason Laboratory]], where [[Dr. Mason]] gives him or her the choice of taking along one of three different Pokémon Trading Card Game decks: {{TCG|Charmander & Friends Deck|Charmander & Friends}}, {{TCG|Squirtle & Friends Deck|Squirtle & Friends}} or {{TCG|Bulbasaur & Friends Deck|Bulbasaur & Friends}}. The player, known by default as [[Mark]], has an ambition of becoming the world's greatest Pokémon Trading Card Game player; however, Mark's rival, [[Ronald]], has a similar goal. Ronald will duel the player at certain points in the game to test the player's cards; being defeated is an indication for the player to improve his or her deck. Victory, however, results in receiving a {{GB|1|Promotional Card}}.

==Connectivity==
Pokémon Trading Card Game allows players to send and receive cards and deck configurations or perform a [[Card Pop!]] between two cartridges via [[infrared]], using an infrared communicator built into the cartridge.

Pokémon Trading Card Game allows players to duel each other using their own decks via the [[Game Boy]] [[Game Link Cable]].

Pokémon Trading Card Game cannot communicate with [[Pokémon Card GB2: Here Comes Team GR!]]. All multiplayer features are disabled in the [[Nintendo 3DS]] [[Virtual Console]] release.

===Card Pop!===
{{main|Card Pop!}}
Card Pop! is a 2-player feature that randomly generates a card for each player. When the infrared ports of two Pokémon Trading Card Game cartridges are connected, each player will receive a random card. A player cannot Card Pop! with the same game again until both players have used the feature with so many others that their partner's ID is overwritten in both games.

This feature is the only way of obtaining the [[Phantom Cards]] ({{TCG ID|GB|Mew|1}} and {{TCG ID|Wizards Promo|Venusaur|13}}).

Card Pop! cannot be performed between Pokémon Trading Card Game and Pokémon Card GB2: Here Comes Team GR!. Attempting to do so can result in [[glitch]]es such as a [[game freeze]] or a loss of save data in Pokémon Trading Card Game.

==Features==
===Similarities to the core series===
[[File:Pokemon Trading Card Game.jpg|thumb|200px|The Pokémon TCG [[ROM cartridge|game cartridge]]]]
The object of the game is very similar to the object of the games in the [[core series]]: Players can start off with one of the three [[starter deck]]s, titled after (and built around) the [[starter Pokémon]] of [[Generation I]] (excluding [[Pokémon Yellow Version|Pokémon Yellow]]), {{p|Squirtle}}, {{p|Charmander}} and {{p|Bulbasaur}}. The goal of players is also to defeat eight specialized leaders, the [[Club Master]]s (comparable to [[Gym Leader]]s), and four Elite challengers, the [[Grand Master]]s (comparable to the [[Elite Four]]). However, while Club Masters' decks correspond approximately to the {{TCG|type}}s of the Trading Card Game cards, since there are eight Club Masters and at the time only seven distinct Pokémon card types, two of the types are repeated: {{TCG|Fighting}} and {{TCG|Grass}}, split in the form of a "Rock" and a "Poison" user, respectively.

Similar to the [[Gym]] [[Badge]]s earned by players after defeating Gym Leaders in the core series, players of Trading Card Game earn [[Master Medal]]s after defeating Club Masters. Certain Master Medals allow players to unlock corresponding [[Auto Deck Machine]]s in [[Mason Laboratory]].

Like the concept of the core series to store Pokémon in a [[PC]], Trading Card Game also allows players to manage their cards via computer. Players can also check their mail for messages from Dr. Mason; Mason will send fifteen e-mails in all over the adventure, each containing at least one booster pack.

An almost exact reception center is also featured in Club lounges in the game, with a Battle Center and a Gift Center; the former which allows players to duel against each other's decks and the latter which allows players to send or receive cards or deck configurations.

Pokémon Trading Card Game also features the ability to run while holding the B button, an element that was not seen in the core series until {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}. It also displays the player's location in the main menu before they choose to continue. On a similar note, from the Ruby and Sapphire versions onward, the save prompt can also display the player's location.

===Clubs===
There are eight Pokémon Clubs on Trading Card Game Island, each with their own type affiliation. The Club Masters are [[Nikki]] ({{TCG|Grass}}), [[Rick]] ([[Grass (TCG)|Poison]]), [[Club Master Ken|Ken]] ({{TCG|Fire}}), {{FB|Club Master|Amy}} ({{TCG|Water}}), [[Club Master Isaac|Isaac]] ({{TCG|Lightning}}), [[Murray]] ({{TCG|Psychic}}), [[Gene]] ([[Fighting (TCG)|Rock]]) and [[Club Master Mitch|Mitch]] ({{TCG|Fighting}}).

===Grand Masters===
There are four [[Grand Master]]s located at the [[Pokémon Dome]]. The Grand Masters are [[Grand Master Courtney|Courtney]] ({{TCG|Fire}}), [[Steve]] ({{TCG|Lightning}}), [[Grand Master Jack|Jack]] ([[Water (TCG)|Ice]]) and [[Rod]] ([[Colorless (TCG)|Dragon]]); the {{pkmn|Champion}} is [[Ronald]], who has a deck of mixed types.

===Pokémon cards===
The game contains every card released in the real Trading Card Game's {{TCG|Base Set}}, {{TCG|Jungle}}, and {{TCG|Fossil}} expansions, except for the Base Set's {{TCG ID|Base Set|Electrode|21}} and Fossil's {{TCG ID|Fossil|Ditto|3}}. (This only includes cards released in the Japanese expansions, so no normal counterparts of holographic cards are included.) Additionally, the first 14 tournament-legal [[Unnumbered Promotional cards (TCG)|unnumbered promotional cards]] are included (not counting glossy/non-glossy reprints). The game also features 18 game-exclusive cards which weren't produced for normal play, though some were released later on. The game emulated the experience of the actual Trading Card Game very closely.

The game contains pre-recorded data on all 228 cards featured (including Lv15 {{TCG ID|GB|Mew|1}} and Lv64 {{TCG ID|Wizards Promo|Venusaur|13}}). Despite this, not all Pokémon are available to the player through normal gameplay; [[Card Pop!]] must occur between players in order to complete their album without the use of cheats, as this is the only way to obtain the aforementioned Mew and Venusaur cards.

Cards can be obtained through booster packs from four expansion sets including {{GB|1|Colosseum}}, {{GB|1|Evolution}}, {{GB|1|Mystery}}, and {{GB|1|Laboratory}}, or by defeating specific challengers (for example, each defeat of the Grand Masters will award the player with a set of legendary {{TCG ID|GB|Moltres|1}}, {{TCG ID|GB|Zapdos|1}}, {{TCG ID|GB|Articuno|1}}, and {{TCG ID|GB|Dragonite|1}} cards). Among the aforementioned four expansion sets is a fifth set, the {{GB|1|Promotional Card}} set. However these cards can only be attained by defeating players such as [[Ronald]], [[Tomoaki Imakuni|Imakuni?]], and the [[Grand Master]]s, defeating three [[Challenge Hall]] opponents in a row, trading with [[Ishihara]], and [[Card Pop!|Card Popping]].

==Regional differences==
[[File:TCG1 B37 Jynx.png|thumb|Dark purple Jynx]]
Booster pack images were changed between localizations to reflect the art style used for booster packs by region. The title screen was changed between the Japanese and international releases. The [[Super Game Boy]] border in international releases removes the writing of ''Pokémon • Trading • Card • Game •'' on the Poké Balls. The back of Pokémon cards was changed in international releases to the design used on the back of cards outside of Japan.

The artwork for [[Jynx (Base Set 31)|Jynx Lv. 23]]'s face was changed from black to purple in international releases to avoid further [[Jynx (Pokémon)#Controversy|controversy]]. The background of the card was also changed from dark purple to light purple in the [[Virtual Console]] release.

===Virtual Console differences===
This release is locked in [[Game Boy Color]] mode; it cannot be played in [[Game Boy]] monochrome mode or with the [[Super Game Boy]] borders.

Due to the [[Nintendo 3DS]] not emulating Game Link functionality ([[infrared]] and the [[Game Link Cable|Game Link cable]]), several features were disabled in the Virtual Console release.

[[Card Pop!]] is disabled, making the two [[Phantom Cards]] ([[Mew (GB 1)|Mew Lv.15]] and [[Venusaur (Wizards Promo 13)|Venusaur Lv.64]]) unobtainable and the {{TCG|Mysterious Pokémon Deck}} impossible to obtain normally. The Mysterious Pokémon Deck is still included in the Legendary Auto Deck Machine in certain versions of the Virtual Console release making the [[Auto Deck Machine|Legendary Auto Deck Machine]] the only possible way to see those cards. Due to Card Pop! being disabled, a bookshelf in [[Mr. Ishihara's House]] is disabled as the bookshelf refers to the Phantom Cards from Card Pop!.

Due to Game Link cable functions being disabled, clerks at [[Club]]s who would normally be spoken to for the Battle Center or Gift Center do not interact with the player.

Due to this release lacking compatibility with the [[Game Boy Printer]], the "Print" function, which is accessible from [[PC]]s, has been disabled.

==Staff==
{{main|Staff of Pokémon Trading Card Game}}

==Trivia==
* The promotional {{TCG ID|Wizards|Venusaur|Promo 13}} card that appears in the game (and can only be obtained by using [[Card Pop!]]) was included with the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game: Official Nintendo Player's Guide]] in North America and with the [[Pokémon Card GB Official Guidebook]] in Japan.
* The {{TCG ID|Wizards|Surfing Pikachu|Promo 28}} with artwork featuring Mt. Fuji and a bullet train was released in Japan but not in English. The card was printed in English, but never with that artwork.
* This game, along with its sequel, are the only spin-off games to share overworld sprites with the, at the time, [[core series]] games.
* {{p|Ninetales}}'s name is misspelled as ''Ninetails'' in this game.
* There is an inaccessible room behind the duel room in Challenge Hall, it has a basic layout but is otherwise empty.
* The internal files of the game contain two unused Super Game Boy borders, the second one was used for testing purposes.<ref>[https://tcrf.net/Pok%C3%A9mon_Trading_Card_Game#Unused_Super_Game_Boy_Borders Pokémon TCG article on The Cutting Room Floor]</ref>

== Question ==

Hey Kogoro, sorry if this the wrong area but I see that this talk is more active than the one on Bulbagarden Archives. When I try to upload new scans for new TCG cards, it will not allow me to do so stating that I must be an autoconfirmed user or a confirmed user. Please help! Thanks, [[User:SirFinkleBottom|Sir]][[Special:Contributions/SirFinkleBottom|Finkle]][[User talk:SirFinkleBottom|Bottom]] 16:15, 13 February 2016 (UTC)
:Confirmed is an Archives-exclusive usergroup that executive staff can apply to uploaders who have been approved to upload Generation VI game images, but don't meet the requirements for Autoconfirmed. Autoconfirmed, on the other hand, is applied automatically when an account has reached a specific number of edits & has existed for a specific number of days. If you want a file uploaded to the Archives and do not have the permissions to do so, you can make an upload request on an active [[a:Archives:Staff|Archives staff]] member's talk page. Keep in mind, that we will require access to the image(s) (and approval from the person who originally digitized the image(s)) to upload them for you. - [[User:Kogoro|'''Kogoro''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''Talk to me''']] - 07:08, 15 February 2016 (UTC)

Hello I have gathered three questions which I would be most thankfull if you could answer.

#Would it be possible to make it so that when editing and pressing 'Show preview' the Interwiki-links present can be displayed in the preview? Because this has annoyed me some times when edit a page and want to check if it links correcly before pressing save. And i know this can be done because that feature is present at Super Mario Wiki and Poképédia to name two.
#Is this [[User:Raltseye/List of Russian Pokémon names|list]] done or does it need all the names because all Pokémon have not been released as TCG cards? I only listed names from the official TCG.
#Since Pokéteca has more or less been removed from the Encyclopædiæ Pokémonis partnership should they not be removed from the main page? Also should we not mention something about it on the [[Encyclopædiæ Pokémonis]] page and delete [[Template:Pt|these]] [[Template:Es|two]] templates?

:#Depending on how they do it, it may be possible for us to do so as well. I'll have to look into it before giving a definitive answer as to whether we can or feel it's necessary, however.
:#It seems alright to me. However, since it is a TCG-based listing, I'll have a chat with Maverick Nate about it before we opt to mainspace it.
:#We'll try to handle the Encyclopædiæ Pokémonis in the next few days, since developments like these are best handled by staff. I'll update the main page shortly, and deal with the templates later.

== Idea about fandom ==

Hi, my name is Danny Williams, shortly Danny199, and I got up with an idea, and wanted to ask if it has a possibility of working. Also, I don't know if I contacted the right person, so forgive me if I misplace this.

I recently became more active on the fandom front, mostly fanfiction and nuzlockes, and what catched my eye is how less atention some of these get, while they are pretty good. Even the wikia's made for Nuzlocke's and Fanfiction writing, aren't that populair, people come there to advertise, but no-one comes there to look for a story, mainly because it isn't known. Now here comes the thing: Bulbagarden, or Bulbapedia, is extremely well-known, every Pokémon fan has at least once checked this site. The thing I thought of is: Isn't it an idea to make a variant on Bulbapedia on the Bulbagarden network, and this one specificant for all fandom things, including nuzlockes, fanfictions, Pokémon Youtube channels, cause there are a lot unknown, everything. Bring it all together in one big site for all fans to find something. You could even go as far as putting links in Bulbapedia, like: Putting on, for example, Charormander's page a link with 'Charmander's appearences in Fanfictions' or, to be more general, 'Charmander's appearences in the Fandom'. It seemed to be like a real good idea, I hope it can work out. I would love to put some work in it, and make it active as fast as possible, but I can't start without permission from the founder.

As I said in the beginning, I don't know if I put this request in the right place, but again, you'll need to forgive me for it.

Greetings, Danny199 {{Unsigned|Danny199}}

:Bulbagarden already has a place where fan-created content can be posted, it's called [http://forums.bulbagarden.net/index.php the Bulbagarden Forums]. As for your idea of putting links such as "_____'s appearances in fan fiction" or "_____'s appearances in the fandom", it's not going to happen. It's been suggested several times in the past, and there's simply not enough notable cases of such to be something that's reasonable. Keep in mind that the ''vast majority'' of fandom-created content just doesn't meet our notability guidelines, and we note the very few notable cases where it's appropriate to do so.

:Additionally, please understand that Bulbapedia ''isn't'' an advertisement source, nor should it be. We're not here to advertise people's self-created Pokémon stories, Nuzlocke runs, or anything like that. We're here to be a resource for significant Pokémon information. If people want their fan-creations to get noticed, it's up to them to figure out how to promote their stuff appropriately. - [[User:Kogoro|'''Kogoro''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''Talk to me''']] - 04:50, 19 March 2016 (UTC)
::Then why is shipping allowed on this site with impunity if it is just a fan concept like fanfictions and Lockes? If that is the case, shouldn't shipping be relegated to the forums? And marriage/crushes don't make it anymore than a form of fan fiction. One is a legal, social and/or religious commitment, while the other is not canon until it is announced by both parties and a commitment to adhere to such is made by the characters and the writers. Also, people see too many little insignificant things as signs that people are attracted to each other. I think it is both pedantic and hypocritical for a fact-based, anti-fanproject wiki to tolerate, since most shipping pages are filled with rampant and gross un-Bulbapedia-like speculation, questionable implications, and are poorly policed and maintained by reputable users. I personally believe Shipping deserves 1 page covering what shipping is in a neutral tone with no speech for or against the subject matter in question and no quantitative or qualitative lists of "common/notable" ships, if any, and a subsequent ban on speculation about shipping of any sort, no matter how "canon" it may be reasoned to be(because they are relative to the eye of the observer, because shipping is a matter best left to fanforums and lesser sites. And no, I am not "offended" by shipping, I just don't find it appropriate for Bulbapedia. I strongly recommend a takedown of all things shipping, and a ban on references and coverage of such except on the Shipping page, as to make a statement about speculation. Or allowing all fandom things to be accounted for, to show acceptance of the fandom and its ways. Which stance you want to take is up to you, but I think it is a win-win. --[[User:BlisseyandtheAquaJets|BlisseyandtheAquaJets]] ([[User talk:BlisseyandtheAquaJets|talk]]) 05:46, 19 March 2016 (UTC)
:::Than what are the guidelines for fandom? There is alot of fanfiction, nuzlocke and fandom creations like that, if someone takes some time and looks through them all, I think you'll find enough that follow the guidlines. Also, it isn't really advertising, it is informing the visitor about the best fanfiction and the best nuzlocke runs, both for example, on the internet, so they can have a look themselves. It isn't ment to advertise, although it might have been a major point in the text I wrote earlier but that was a small mis-writing, but to have the visitors being informed, the same as Bulbapedia does with all the official information, can this wikia do with all the fandom information [[User:Danny199|Danny199]] ([[User talk:Danny199|talk]]) 08:44, 19 March 2016 (UTC)

::::@Danny199: First off, "best" is ''always'' subjective when it comes to things like fan fiction, and subjective content like that does not belong on Bulbapedia. Secondly, the ''concept'' of the [[Nuzlocke Challenge]] is notable due to its major presence within the fandom, and that's why we already have an article about what Nuzlocke Challenges are. Individual people's challenges, however, are not notable and should not be listed. While it ''may'' be acceptable to have an article on the ''concept'' of fan fiction within the Pokémon fandom, we're not going to have articles or listings of individual fics. - [[User:Kogoro|'''Kogoro''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''Talk to me''']] - 03:55, 23 March 2016 (UTC)

== About the Template:DungeonPrevNext template ==

Hi, I was kinda wondering if you could make some adjustments to the [[Template:DungeonPrevNext|DungeonPrevNext]] template? You know how there is "DungeonPrevNext|Dungeon Name|Dungeon Name|1|Dungeon Name" made so that the colours from Explorers of Sky dungeons could mix in with the older dungeons from Explorers of Time/Darkness, right? I'd like to see the ability to do something like "DungeonPrevNext|Dungeon Name|Dungeon Name|1|Dungeon Name|1" so that it can be coloured in completely, say for instance if anyone wanted to navigate to Rock Path from Lapis Cave page. Whenever I try to use the template like this:

"DungeonPrevNext|Great Canyon|Mt. Blaze|Rock Path|Rock Path|1dab=(Red and Blue Rescue Team)|2dab=(Red and Blue Rescue Team)|1"

It just simply appears completely broken, and when I try it as this:

"DungeonPrevNext|Great Canyon|Mt. Blaze|1|Rock Path|Rock Path|3dab=(Red and Blue Rescue Team)|4dab=(Red and Blue Rescue Team)"

It shows up as everything red, except for "Rock Path" sections, which are coloured as green (Explorers of Sky colour).

Can you please fix this issue? I can't make any changes to it's code, since [[Template:DungeonPrevNext]] is protected indefinitely for unknown reasons.

Thanks!—[[User:Platinum Lucario|Platinum Lucario]] ([[User talk:Platinum Lucario|talk]]) 14:47, 22 March 2016 (UTC)
:First of all, {{template|DungeonPrevNext}} is protected because it's a high-use template that the general public shouldn't be making modifications to. Secondly, I really can't see any reason to modify the template to work in the way you seem to want it to.

Hello Kogoro, I don't know if you know about abuse filters, but can you explain to me why <nowiki> </nowiki> is considered as bad formatting, and why we have an abuse filter of it (I see that other wikis don't have this kind of abuse filter, only Bulbawikis)? Also, I think <nowiki> </nowiki> is not the only one that is non-wikitext formatting, there are others too (like <a>).

:Multi-use of <code><nowiki> </nowiki></code> tags is the most common non-wikitext formatting used on Bulbapedia, and is something we want to get away from doing. That is why there's an abuse filter for them, to note that such formatting happens to exist within the material being modified in any given edit. <code><nowiki> </nowiki></code> tags, in general, should only be used when used in the clearing style on templates, as we have templates for mainspace use: {{template|-}}, {{template|clear-left}}, and {{template|clear-right}}. - [[User:Kogoro|'''Kogoro''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''Talk to me''']] - 07:07, 9 April 2016 (UTC)

== New move template ==

I saw that you were testing new templates for moves. I had this idea a while ago, but I thought I'd tell you about it. So, admitting that a move will always have the same effect/heart/type etc no matter the Pokemon who uses it, I thought we could make it so that in the template entry you only add the move name and that on the template side there would be this well-made conditionning system with pre-assigned variables. I don't know if I was clear enough, so if that interests you or if you need more info on this, hit me up! I love doing templates :3 [[User:MannedTooth| MannedTooth ]] ([[User_Talk:MannedTooth|Talk]]) 06:58, 13 April 2016 (UTC)

== Move entries ==

Hey, I want to ask you about something that has been bothering me for over a year now. The Gen 6 column on move articles. [http://image.prntscr.com/image/a8b392dddae242cd84b3c689cef2beb4.png]

I've read one of the posts where it was said that dividing the Gen 6 column was not possible with the current template. I want to ask why is that? I looked up the source and while I don't fully understand it, it doesn't seem impossible to replicate the subcolumn feature. I understand that the problem here is not with laziness but I'm really curious why this hasn't been done yet.

[[User:Oneofthosedf|Oneofthosedf]] ([[User talk:Oneofthosedf|talk]]) 16:05, 10 July 2016 (UTC)
:It's not that it's impossible to do, it's that it's not reasonable to do. The current template features too many conditional statements for coloring, and is getting too wide for many displays due to the sub-column format. We have a replacement template in the works, and we'll be trying to have it out before the release of Sun & Moon. - [[User:Kogoro|'''Kogoro''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''Talk to me''']] - 04:19, 13 July 2016 (UTC)

::What do you mean by getting too wide and having conditional statements for coloring?

::[[User:Oneofthosedf|Oneofthosedf]] ([[User talk:Oneofthosedf|talk]]) 16:11, 13 July 2016 (UTC)
:::Depending on the resolution of your display, the existing template is starting to get dangerously close to overlapping the infobox on some articles, and it isn't exactly mobile friendly (and will only get worse with Sun and Moon). This means we need to rework the template to work effectively for varying display resolutions, including mobile resolutions.

:::As for conditional statements, every row is set up with code that makes the template behave differently if a move is learned at Lv 15 in one game of a generation and Lv 17 in another. Unfortunately, the abundance of this code on move articles has resulted in some moves with very large numbers of available Pokémon to load slowly, and others to simply not load at all without splitting content to a sub-article.

:::These are both very significant things we're needing to change, and we don't wish to expand the issues with Gen VI cells when we're trying to fix them with an updated set of templates. I hope this helps explain things. - [[User:Kogoro|'''Kogoro''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''Talk to me''']] - 05:48, 14 July 2016 (UTC)

== Request for the Editorial Board to consider ==

Hi. If you could share this request with the rest of the Editorial Board for consideration, I would much appreciate it.

I was recently alarmed to notice that we still have a great deal of antiquated switches on species pages for Pokémon that change types upon form-changing. To my knowledge, one of the major reasons Bulbapedia implemented the new infoboxes almost three years ago was to avoid the need for switches by making all form information visible at all times, so these remaining switches were highly surprising to me. To my awareness, at this point they only change colors and toggle the visibility of type effectiveness tables, so I don't believe they're necessary.

At first I noticed them only on {{p|Castform}}, so I removed them, thinking they had simply been forgotten on that page when the infoboxes were implemented three years ago. {{u|Force Fire}} reverted it (without explaining that these switches are still in use for all Pokémon with form changes, I might add — I had to find this out myself by investigating). So since this is a change that concerns several pages, I'm coming to you and the rest of the Editorial Board to ask for an opinion.

I believe these forms should be treated in the same way we treat Mega Evolutions that change type, such as {{p|Charizard}}: with no switches, nothing hidden, and changed type colors only on material that pertains specifically to the changed form and not the standard/base form. This method is the most clear and consistent for the readers who don't look at the source code. Additionally, the type-color switches use a large amount of bytes to accomplish very little, if anything, to functionally enhance our articles.

As far as I can tell, their only remaining value is aesthetic, and this aesthetic value comes at the sacrifice of clearly and consistently conveying a Pokémon's type in the way we do for all other species articles.

I think the switches should have been removed three years ago when we did away with switches on the main infobox artwork, and I think they certainly should be removed now.

Thank you for your consideration. I cordially await your response. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 19:03, 31 July 2016 (UTC)

Hi Kogoro! I have a question about the pokemon go bulbapedia handbook and was wondering if you could help! In particular it's a question for whoever created the page linked below, but also just for anyone who knows the answer:
http://handbooks.bulbagarden.net/pokemongo/pokemon-index
The maximum CP of each pokemon is listed on the page. It lists Dragonite's maximum CP as 3525, which can only happen if it hits level 40.5 (with perfect IVs). I have been looking for days now for a reliable source that shows whether the maximum pokemon level is 40 or 40.5 and haven't found anything.

== A couple of things (mostly Bulbanews) ==

Hello, I'd wish to talk about Bulbanews. Firstly, the new logo introduced a year ago has not yet been changed in the tabs and window color in my browser (I'm using Vivaldi) [http://imgur.com/JD7Supv image for reference]. Also, SnorlaxMonster created [[Bulbanews:User:SnorlaxMonster/Front page|a draft for a front page]] in that coloration, why has this not yet been implemented? The Bulba color template is still light green so a lot of things on Bulbanews in sill in that coloration. Also on a slight sidenote, the link from Bulbapedia and the Archives to Bulbanews when having set a different language translates it to current events (Aktuella händelser for me since my settings are in Swedish) for some reason, this is especialy strange since in English it just says Bulbanews, I don't think this is meant to be so if you could change that it would be nice.

Secondly, recently when unwatching a page the site asks me if I'm sure if I want to unwatch this page and I have to press yes before unwatching, this is annoying if I for some reason have to unwatch several pages at once which I sometimes do. This did not happen before some time ago so I'm wondering why and if it could be fixed. --[[User:Raltseye|Raltseye]] [[User talk:Raltseye|prata med mej]] 08:31, 5 September 2016 (UTC)

== The Message from the Editor and the inevitable site lockdown ==

I'm just wondering two things:

# When the site goes into lockdown because of the release of Pokémon Sun and Moon (It's happened at every release of a core series game for more than 5 years), is it possible to exclude individual pages from the lockdown, so that Pokémon Shuffle can continue to have its pages updated each week as it receives its weekly update, or will it simply have to wait until the lockdown ends or someone with the necessary user rights has time to edit the pages and add that week's new Pokémon and Special Stages?

== Forced preview ==

I've been on a forced preview for severs years now, and I've occasionally felt it to be a hindrance. It was originally placed on me in order to, well, force preview before saving any edits. I thought I'd ask if it was possible to undo this. I remember asking about this a couple years or so back, but it was denied back then. Now I happen to be in a mood and spot where I feel like I could make the request again. So I kindly ask: Would it be possible and/or acceptable for one of you higher-ups of Bulbapedia to remove my forced preview? Waiting for your answer, [[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 08:13, 9 October 2016 (UTC).
:You are no longer forced to preview. However, there is one condition to this: We don't want to see a return to old habits of making frequent multi-edits. If you get back into the habit of frequently making multiple edits to articles to fix typos & such, you will be back to having forced preview indefinitely. - [[User:Kogoro|'''Kogoro''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''Talk to me''']] - 09:49, 18 October 2016 (UTC)
::Okay, thanks for that.

== Copyright misunderstanding ==

So, sorry to bother you, but I got myself in the most unpleasant situation.

Recently I added some Origin to the Garchomp page, Bulette, a D&D original creature.

The user [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpking0192]] started a edit war claiming that "you" (I guess he thinks he's a staff member?) don't accept modern/copyrighted basis on the Origin section. All Right.

The "modern" sounded like a biased personal criteria to me since maaany Pokémon have modern inspirations, regardless, Dragon and Dungeons is almost half a century old and is really relevant to the RPG culture and could easily influence Pokémon, so I find hard to just ignore it. But the copyright could indeed be a problem; so, after some quick research I found the official list of their copyrighted creatures and Bulette wasn't one of them. So I added the Origin back and explained that it seemed like Bulette was not copyrighted.

Still, he removed it one more time with the same argument. I reverted it one more time and asked him to create a topic on the Talk Page if he wanted to debate about it properly and further, or to leave the Origin's viability analysis to some staff member. Then, the Administrator glik intervened and removed the changes, he went to my talk page and told me to find proof of Bulette's situation and to contact an Editorial member about it. So here I am. I guess he didn't believe me about it or misunderstood me, dunno.

I wasn't sure who I had to contact, but a friend of mine that works on the staff told me you would be the most adequate.

Anyway, here's the list they wanted, third question:

* "http://5e.d20srd.org/faq.htm"

tl; dr. Pompous random user removing things around, staff tells me to prove landshark ain't copyrighted to someone above him, here I am, end.

What happens now? Can I re-add it since it's all good? I mean, it was all good from the very beginning, but whatever. Thanks~

:Just popping in to say please assume good faith, I certainly don't think I'm a staff member, and when I used "we" I was referring to Bulbapedia as a community, i.e. ''all'' of us, not just those with authority (of whom I certainly am not). Again, please assume good faith. Thanks. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 05:18, 6 January 2017 (UTC)
::@ExLight: I'm not seeing a significant case to include Bulette as inspiration behind Garchomp, or its evolutionary relatives. As it's been noted, we generally avoid things that originate from copyrighted media (regardless to whether the character itself is copyrighted or not), as it's a very tricky thing to conclusively prove if they were or weren't the origin. If an official source actually notes that it was inspiration for any of the Pokémon, then we would include it. Additionally, please take some time to read the {{bp|code of conduct}}. Calling someone "pompous" really isn't necessary, or appropriate.
::@Pumpkinking0192: As much as others should assume good faith, you might want to try being a little clearer in your edit summaries and other messages you post. Rather than using "we" use "Bulbapedia". Vague wording can easily be misread, so it's always good to take extra effort to make messages clear. - [[User:Kogoro|'''Kogoro''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''Talk to me''']] - 07:21, 7 January 2017 (UTC)

::: I see. Even though I disagree, I can see why that's how it is. It's not really important too, so I guess it doesn't really matter nor is worth such stress.

::: Well, thanks. [[User:ExLight|ExLight]] ([[User talk:ExLight|talk]]) 01:13, 8 January 2017 (UTC)
:::EDIT: I know you are probably busy, but I need to have a real talk with someone from the staff about the Origins sections. Sorry if you're not the one I'm looking for.

::: After thinking a lot over this matter, I decided I had to discuss about a few things that I noticed that are related to this section, mainly the process of selection of what goes in there and the "taboofication" of a few topics.

::: Firstly, I would like to point out that unlike most of the sections, Origins are impossible to be perfectly accurate since it requires the original creators to know the real inspirations, so it will always have speculations. Actually, most of the origins we have on the Bulbapedia are pure speculation. Avoiding this fact, as well as not mentioning possible origin, is silly and ends up damaging the real purpose of the Origin section.

::: This actually raises an issue since the selection of what goes in there is kind of unstable due to the subjectivity of the origins and, sometimes, biased. This results in a chaotic, non-homogenous section that often has some impossible/incomplete information. A few exemples that have/had been around for some time are: Vaporeon's design being compared to something that didn't even exist by the time it was designed, Floette's name being associated with the non-word "florette", Gabite being listed as a Land Shark from D&D for months despite all the ruckus related to Garchomp, many other pokémon compared to a few copyrighted media, some unlikely species in a few Pokémon's origins (especially in birds), etc.

::: As far as I can see, the Bulbapedia system seems to work fine most of the cases because they are mostly objective, but due to the Origin's section being so subjective and abstract the fact that just a few select what goes in and out is really repressive and can be flawed. So I feel like there should be a reform on this system, specifically for this part, since this actually tends to get stronger when reinforced by a large variety of points of view.

::: A project that would allow more freedom on this would be the creation of topics for discussion of each relevant theory and speculation, opening space for presenting the pros and cons of each claim, and then some process of popular approval. This way, these topics could be linked into the Origin's section similar to George Hutcheon's "On the Origin of Species" articles while still making clear that they're not official explanations and that its contents are not considered official in any way to the Bulbapedia or TPC. This would help to filter some absurd info and allow the Origin section be get more democratic or organized, maybe even separating it further on segments such as Concept, Design, Real World and Folkloric inspirations. A model like this would allow to include "taboofied" themes such as possible copyrighted media, polemic religious inspirations, and popular theories.

::: I know you might be thinking Talk Pages are enough, but unfortunately they don't seem to be the best place to discuss about origins since they often get lost amidst many other topics and/or ignored by indifference. Providing a particular space for those interested in origins would be refreshing and could fix some actual issues.

::: Since Bulbapedia is the role model for most of the Pokémon sites I believe it should try to be as organized and complete as it can. Pursuing this matter somehow would be an interesting way to improve the site's quality and organization.

::: I do understand that the Bulbapedia is huge, and it's hard for the staff, or the members, to take care of everything 24/7, but I do feel a little uncomfortable seeing some lost great potential and a few absurd things around one of the most important sections. So, please, at least consider my proposal; it's not as complicated as it might sound.

::: Have a nice day.

I stopped using the name Xolroc several months ago for personal reasons, and now go by the name Felthry; if I could have my username changed to that, it would be much appreciated. Is there any sort of application form or anything to get the username changed, or is just posting here enough? [[User:Xolroc|Xolroc]] ([[User talk:Xolroc|talk]]) 19:09, 13 January 2017 (UTC)

== A few questions ==

Hey, long time no see. I would like to ask just a few questions.

1. Is there any reason for this wiki not to use the [[mw:Extension:WikiEditor|WikiEditor extension]]? It provides a rather friendlier and more advanced editing interface, not to the mention the ever-so-welcome 'find and replace' function.

2. Would it be possible to combine my user talk archives? And to move the current four messages from my main user talk to the combined archives? The first archive has only one message while I am sure that I will not be receiving new messages (on my main talk) due to my bouts of inactivity. In a way, I am asking this more for the aesthetic part but also for keeping things in one place. I have read the talk page policy, but either it does not specify it, or it does but it's unclear or I find it unclear. [[User:DJWolfy|--'''DJ''']][[User talk:DJWolfy|'''Wolfy'''--]] 13:34, 4 March 2017 (UTC)
:#There's no specific reason that I am aware of, other than our tech crew disabled it. The Editorial Board will consider whether that interface is worthwhile.
:#It is not something that would be permitted via the talk page policy. We want talk page archives to retain the original edit history that it had when it was an active talk page.

== Suggestion for a new link template ==

Hi there! Sorry for skipping all the way to the top of the chain of command, but I'm not sure whose purview link templates fall under.

I wanted to ask whether it would be a good idea for us to have a link template called <code><nowiki>{{Mega Evolve}}</nowiki></code> that produces the text <code><nowiki>[[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]]</nowiki></code> so it's easier to link it in that way when the verb form is desired (such as the sentence I just added to the [[Z-Crystal]] article). Is this a good idea for a link template? Thanks. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 23:47, 22 March 2017 (UTC)

I'm prepared to semi-automatically run through all move pages to incorporate the new params (plus some other stuff). Note that, if you already moved/merged it now, the pages shouldn't break (neither visually nor semantically).

Also, are [[accuracy]] and/or [[damage category]] to be moved? If so, I suggest doing it in one swoop!? In addition to the move infobox, it "only" seems to be all learnlist headers, some minor unprotected templates I could do, and a few links spread across the wiki (many of which seem to be at move pages, so I could easily catch those, too).

== Marshtompert ==

I hope I'm not overstepping my boundaries, but I've been suspicious about Marshtompert ever since they started editing: they seemed to be far too familiar with Bulbapedia proceedings to be a truly new user, and seemed to be just abrasive enough about some of their edits that I wondered if they might be someone sockpuppeting to get around a ban. But I didn't have any real ''reason'' to suspect them, so I tried to ignore it.

Now they are habitually adding delete templates to the userpages of banned users, just like Spyspotter once did (and in at least one case, on [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=User:Aquagal444&curid=21462&action=history the same page] as one that Spyspotter targeted). I know it's not my place, but I feel obliged to alert the staff to this suspicion and ask whether y'all have checked whether Marshtompert may be another of Spyspotter's sockpuppets, which I know they made frequently in the past.

== Question ==

Hey Kogoro, sorry if this the wrong area but I see that this talk is more active than the one on Bulbagarden Archives. When I try to upload new scans for new TCG cards, it will not allow me to do so stating that I must be an autoconfirmed user or a confirmed user. Please help! Thanks, [[User:SirFinkleBottom|Sir]][[Special:Contributions/SirFinkleBottom|Finkle]][[User talk:SirFinkleBottom|Bottom]] 16:15, 13 February 2016 (UTC)
:Confirmed is an Archives-exclusive usergroup that executive staff can apply to uploaders who have been approved to upload Generation VI game images, but don't meet the requirements for Autoconfirmed. Autoconfirmed, on the other hand, is applied automatically when an account has reached a specific number of edits & has existed for a specific number of days. If you want a file uploaded to the Archives and do not have the permissions to do so, you can make an upload request on an active [[a:Archives:Staff|Archives staff]] member's talk page. Keep in mind, that we will require access to the image(s) (and approval from the person who originally digitized the image(s)) to upload them for you. - [[User:Kogoro|'''Kogoro''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''Talk to me''']] - 07:08, 15 February 2016 (UTC)

== 500 edits/day milestone! :D ==

Hey! I'm currently writing my 501th edit on the wiki today.

I've earned the [[Template:User_500_Day|template]], right? :3

My first edit was made on February 14 2016 17:58.

My last edit was made on February 15 2016 06:43.

Between these two edits, there was an elapsed time of 12:45.

<nowiki>:</nowiki>) [[User:MannedTooth| MannedTooth ]] ([[User_Talk:MannedTooth|Talk]]) 06:49, 15 February 2016 (UTC)
:Unfortunately, no, you have not earned it. The edits must take place between 00:00 and 23:59 (UTC) in the same calendar day, which is noted right on the template page. As your edits take place between two calendar days, they are not eligible for the user tag. - [[User:Kogoro|'''Kogoro''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''Talk to me''']] - 07:08, 15 February 2016 (UTC)

::Are you serious? What's the difference? It was under 24 hours, which is a day. I don't understand why such detail should be important. I'll let you know that not everyone has the same time, my day is alway split in half with the wiki's time because of the timezone, having a full day on the wiki would mean to do all my edits starting at 2am, which, not everyone can. With all due respect, this is plainly injust. We shouldn't be judged on our timezone, that's close to discrimination. [[User:MannedTooth| MannedTooth ]] ([[User_Talk:MannedTooth|Talk]]) 07:31, 15 February 2016 (UTC)
:::UTC is our server time, and all of our time-based institutions are measured on server time. Allowing users to base time-based institutions on their own time zones has caused far too many problems and arguments in the past, so we simply do not allow such anymore. - [[User:Kogoro|'''Kogoro''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''Talk to me''']] - 07:48, 15 February 2016 (UTC)

::::I understand that, but tell me, what would have been different if I started editing 2 hours later? The outcome would have been the same, I would have contributed and been rewarded, so it would have been a win-win for everyone, but for now, I feel robbed of harsh hours of work throughout a whole day... You don't need the website to see wheter I did enough edits or not, do you? Just go on my contributions page, click show 500 and you'll see that it has been done in less than 24hours, it's not like it was a tight 23h and some minutes, I did it in under 13hours, that's worth being noticed, nah? Devoted contributors are rare, so you shouldn't be too picky if you want to keep them... :/ [[User:MannedTooth| MannedTooth ]] ([[User_Talk:MannedTooth|Talk]]) 08:01, 15 February 2016 (UTC)
:::::There'd have been no difference, cause you still wouldn't have made it to 500 within a single calendar day if you had started editing two hours earlier. If your most important reason for editing this wiki is to get a fancy user tag, you may need to reconsider your reasons for being here. I'm going to quote something from a former staff member that really rings true:
::::::''"This is not a race or a competition, if you reach 500 edits a day that's good for you but it doesn't really mean anything, as quality is what's really needed here rather than some mere numbers. Editing a wiki is a thankless job, but we do it for the good of the community."''

Anyway, you are right, I never intended to do it for the achievement, I just happened to edit and realized I was at 350 ao I figured I would finish the job I was doing and get it at the same time, anyway... I'm just really dissapointed, that's all... [[User:MannedTooth| MannedTooth ]] ([[User_Talk:MannedTooth|Talk]]) 08:26, 15 February 2016 (UTC)

== 3 questions ==

Hello I have gathered three questions which I would be most thankfull if you could answer.

#Would it be possible to make it so that when editing and pressing 'Show preview' the Interwiki-links present can be displayed in the preview? Because this has annoyed me some times when edit a page and want to check if it links correcly before pressing save. And i know this can be done because that feature is present at Super Mario Wiki and Poképédia to name two.
#Is this [[User:Raltseye/List of Russian Pokémon names|list]] done or does it need all the names because all Pokémon have not been released as TCG cards? I only listed names from the official TCG.
#Since Pokéteca has more or less been removed from the Encyclopædiæ Pokémonis partnership should they not be removed from the main page? Also should we not mention something about it on the [[Encyclopædiæ Pokémonis]] page and delete [[Template:Pt|these]] [[Template:Es|two]] templates?
--[[User:Raltseye|Ralts]][[User talk:Raltseye|eye]] 17:39, 23 February 2016 (UTC)
:#Depending on how they do it, it may be possible for us to do so as well. I'll have to look into it before giving a definitive answer as to whether we can or feel it's necessary, however.
:#It seems alright to me. However, since it is a TCG-based listing, I'll have a chat with Maverick Nate about it before we opt to mainspace it.
:#We'll try to handle the Encyclopædiæ Pokémonis in the next few days, since developments like these are best handled by staff. I'll update the main page shortly, and deal with the templates later.

== Idea about fandom ==

Hi, my name is Danny Williams, shortly Danny199, and I got up with an idea, and wanted to ask if it has a possibility of working. Also, I don't know if I contacted the right person, so forgive me if I misplace this.

I recently became more active on the fandom front, mostly fanfiction and nuzlockes, and what catched my eye is how less atention some of these get, while they are pretty good. Even the wikia's made for Nuzlocke's and Fanfiction writing, aren't that populair, people come there to advertise, but no-one comes there to look for a story, mainly because it isn't known. Now here comes the thing: Bulbagarden, or Bulbapedia, is extremely well-known, every Pokémon fan has at least once checked this site. The thing I thought of is: Isn't it an idea to make a variant on Bulbapedia on the Bulbagarden network, and this one specificant for all fandom things, including nuzlockes, fanfictions, Pokémon Youtube channels, cause there are a lot unknown, everything. Bring it all together in one big site for all fans to find something. You could even go as far as putting links in Bulbapedia, like: Putting on, for example, Charormander's page a link with 'Charmander's appearences in Fanfictions' or, to be more general, 'Charmander's appearences in the Fandom'. It seemed to be like a real good idea, I hope it can work out. I would love to put some work in it, and make it active as fast as possible, but I can't start without permission from the founder.

As I said in the beginning, I don't know if I put this request in the right place, but again, you'll need to forgive me for it.

Greetings, Danny199 {{Unsigned|Danny199}}

:Bulbagarden already has a place where fan-created content can be posted, it's called [http://forums.bulbagarden.net/index.php the Bulbagarden Forums]. As for your idea of putting links such as "_____'s appearances in fan fiction" or "_____'s appearances in the fandom", it's not going to happen. It's been suggested several times in the past, and there's simply not enough notable cases of such to be something that's reasonable. Keep in mind that the ''vast majority'' of fandom-created content just doesn't meet our notability guidelines, and we note the very few notable cases where it's appropriate to do so.

:Additionally, please understand that Bulbapedia ''isn't'' an advertisement source, nor should it be. We're not here to advertise people's self-created Pokémon stories, Nuzlocke runs, or anything like that. We're here to be a resource for significant Pokémon information. If people want their fan-creations to get noticed, it's up to them to figure out how to promote their stuff appropriately. - [[User:Kogoro|'''Kogoro''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''Talk to me''']] - 04:50, 19 March 2016 (UTC)
::Then why is shipping allowed on this site with impunity if it is just a fan concept like fanfictions and Lockes? If that is the case, shouldn't shipping be relegated to the forums? And marriage/crushes don't make it anymore than a form of fan fiction. One is a legal, social and/or religious commitment, while the other is not canon until it is announced by both parties and a commitment to adhere to such is made by the characters and the writers. Also, people see too many little insignificant things as signs that people are attracted to each other. I think it is both pedantic and hypocritical for a fact-based, anti-fanproject wiki to tolerate, since most shipping pages are filled with rampant and gross un-Bulbapedia-like speculation, questionable implications, and are poorly policed and maintained by reputable users. I personally believe Shipping deserves 1 page covering what shipping is in a neutral tone with no speech for or against the subject matter in question and no quantitative or qualitative lists of "common/notable" ships, if any, and a subsequent ban on speculation about shipping of any sort, no matter how "canon" it may be reasoned to be(because they are relative to the eye of the observer, because shipping is a matter best left to fanforums and lesser sites. And no, I am not "offended" by shipping, I just don't find it appropriate for Bulbapedia. I strongly recommend a takedown of all things shipping, and a ban on references and coverage of such except on the Shipping page, as to make a statement about speculation. Or allowing all fandom things to be accounted for, to show acceptance of the fandom and its ways. Which stance you want to take is up to you, but I think it is a win-win. --[[User:BlisseyandtheAquaJets|BlisseyandtheAquaJets]] ([[User talk:BlisseyandtheAquaJets|talk]]) 05:46, 19 March 2016 (UTC)
:::Than what are the guidelines for fandom? There is alot of fanfiction, nuzlocke and fandom creations like that, if someone takes some time and looks through them all, I think you'll find enough that follow the guidlines. Also, it isn't really advertising, it is informing the visitor about the best fanfiction and the best nuzlocke runs, both for example, on the internet, so they can have a look themselves. It isn't ment to advertise, although it might have been a major point in the text I wrote earlier but that was a small mis-writing, but to have the visitors being informed, the same as Bulbapedia does with all the official information, can this wikia do with all the fandom information [[User:Danny199|Danny199]] ([[User talk:Danny199|talk]]) 08:44, 19 March 2016 (UTC)
::::@BlisseyandtheAquaJets: Shipping isn't going anywhere. While we do intend to do some significant work to the section, we're not going to remotely take your suggestion. Please try to not interject yourself into discussions that have nothing to do with you in the future. Thank you.
::::@Danny199: First off, "best" is ''always'' subjective when it comes to things like fan fiction, and subjective content like that does not belong on Bulbapedia.

== Pokémon World in relation to the real world ==

Hi Kogoro, I wad wondering if you could check whether the point about a Spearow nicknamed Kenya is suitable on that page.
ForceFire and I have been having a long discussion about it with neither of us "giving in". Please could you decide if it should remain.[[User:Ratchet and Clank 1995|Ratchet and Clank 1995]] ([[User talk:Ratchet and Clank 1995|talk]]) 11:59, 20 March 2016 (UTC)

== About the Template:DungeonPrevNext template ==

Hi, I was kinda wondering if you could make some adjustments to the [[Template:DungeonPrevNext|DungeonPrevNext]] template? You know how there is "DungeonPrevNext|Dungeon Name|Dungeon Name|1|Dungeon Name" made so that the colours from Explorers of Sky dungeons could mix in with the older dungeons from Explorers of Time/Darkness, right? I'd like to see the ability to do something like "DungeonPrevNext|Dungeon Name|Dungeon Name|1|Dungeon Name|1" so that it can be coloured in completely, say for instance if anyone wanted to navigate to Rock Path from Lapis Cave page. Whenever I try to use the template like this:

"DungeonPrevNext|Great Canyon|Mt. Blaze|Rock Path|Rock Path|1dab=(Red and Blue Rescue Team)|2dab=(Red and Blue Rescue Team)|1"

It just simply appears completely broken, and when I try it as this:

"DungeonPrevNext|Great Canyon|Mt. Blaze|1|Rock Path|Rock Path|3dab=(Red and Blue Rescue Team)|4dab=(Red and Blue Rescue Team)"

It shows up as everything red, except for "Rock Path" sections, which are coloured as green (Explorers of Sky colour).

Can you please fix this issue? I can't make any changes to it's code, since [[Template:DungeonPrevNext]] is protected indefinitely for unknown reasons.

Thanks!—[[User:Platinum Lucario|Platinum Lucario]] ([[User talk:Platinum Lucario|talk]]) 14:47, 22 March 2016 (UTC)
:First of all, {{template|DungeonPrevNext}} is protected because it's a high-use template that the general public shouldn't be making modifications to. Secondly, I really can't see any reason to modify the template to work in the way you seem to want it to. It's fine to just use two or more calls of the template as you already have on the [[Lapis Cave]] article.

Hello Kogoro, I don't know if you know about abuse filters, but can you explain to me why <nowiki> </nowiki> is considered as bad formatting, and why we have an abuse filter of it (I see that other wikis don't have this kind of abuse filter, only Bulbawikis)?

:Multi-use of <code><nowiki> </nowiki></code> tags is the most common non-wikitext formatting used on Bulbapedia, and is something we want to get away from doing. That is why there's an abuse filter for them, to note that such formatting happens to exist within the material being modified in any given edit. <code><nowiki> </nowiki></code> tags, in general, should only be used when used in the clearing style on templates, as we have templates for mainspace use: {{template|-}}, {{template|clear-left}}, and {{template|clear-right}}. - [[User:Kogoro|'''Kogoro''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''Talk to me''']] - 07:07, 9 April 2016 (UTC)

I saw that you were testing new templates for moves. I had this idea a while ago, but I thought I'd tell you about it.

I've read one of the posts where it was said that dividing the Gen 6 column was not possible with the current template. I want to ask why is that? I looked up the source and while I don't fully understand it, it doesn't seem impossible to replicate the subcolumn feature. I understand that the problem here is not with laziness but I'm really curious why this hasn't been done yet.

[[User:Oneofthosedf|Oneofthosedf]] ([[User talk:Oneofthosedf|talk]]) 16:05, 10 July 2016 (UTC)
:It's not that it's impossible to do, it's that it's not reasonable to do. The current template features too many conditional statements for coloring, and is getting too wide for many displays due to the sub-column format. We have a replacement template in the works, and we'll be trying to have it out before the release of Sun & Moon. - [[User:Kogoro|'''Kogoro''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''Talk to me''']] - 04:19, 13 July 2016 (UTC)

::What do you mean by getting too wide and having conditional statements for coloring?

::[[User:Oneofthosedf|Oneofthosedf]] ([[User talk:Oneofthosedf|talk]]) 16:11, 13 July 2016 (UTC)
:::Depending on the resolution of your display, the existing template is starting to get dangerously close to overlapping the infobox on some articles, and it isn't exactly mobile friendly (and will only get worse with Sun and Moon). This means we need to rework the template to work effectively for varying display resolutions, including mobile resolutions.

:::As for conditional statements, every row is set up with code that makes the template behave differently if a move is learned at Lv 15 in one game of a generation and Lv 17 in another. Unfortunately, the abundance of this code on move articles has resulted in some moves with very large numbers of available Pokémon to load slowly, and others to simply not load at all without splitting content to a sub-article.

:::These are both very significant things we're needing to change, and we don't wish to expand the issues with Gen VI cells when we're trying to fix them with an updated set of templates.

== Request for the Editorial Board to consider ==

Hi. If you could share this request with the rest of the Editorial Board for consideration, I would much appreciate it.

I was recently alarmed to notice that we still have a great deal of antiquated switches on species pages for Pokémon that change types upon form-changing. To my knowledge, one of the major reasons Bulbapedia implemented the new infoboxes almost three years ago was to avoid the need for switches by making all form information visible at all times, so these remaining switches were highly surprising to me. To my awareness, at this point they only change colors and toggle the visibility of type effectiveness tables, so I don't believe they're necessary.

At first I noticed them only on {{p|Castform}}, so I removed them, thinking they had simply been forgotten on that page when the infoboxes were implemented three years ago. {{u|Force Fire}} reverted it (without explaining that these switches are still in use for all Pokémon with form changes, I might add — I had to find this out myself by investigating). So since this is a change that concerns several pages, I'm coming to you and the rest of the Editorial Board to ask for an opinion.

I believe these forms should be treated in the same way we treat Mega Evolutions that change type, such as {{p|Charizard}}: with no switches, nothing hidden, and changed type colors only on material that pertains specifically to the changed form and not the standard/base form. This method is the most clear and consistent for the readers who don't look at the source code. Additionally, the type-color switches use a large amount of bytes to accomplish very little, if anything, to functionally enhance our articles.

As far as I can tell, their only remaining value is aesthetic, and this aesthetic value comes at the sacrifice of clearly and consistently conveying a Pokémon's type in the way we do for all other species articles.

I think the switches should have been removed three years ago when we did away with switches on the main infobox artwork, and I think they certainly should be removed now.

Thank you for your consideration. I cordially await your response. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 19:03, 31 July 2016 (UTC)

== Pokemon Go Page - Question! ==

Hi Kogoro! I have a question about the pokemon go bulbapedia handbook and was wondering if you could help! In particular it's a question for whoever created the page linked below, but also just for anyone who knows the answer:
http://handbooks.bulbagarden.net/pokemongo/pokemon-index
The maximum CP of each pokemon is listed on the page. It lists Dragonite's maximum CP as 3525, which can only happen if it hits level 40.5 (with perfect IVs). I have been looking for days now for a reliable source that shows whether the maximum pokemon level is 40 or 40.5 and haven't found anything. Is there any way you could ask whoever created the page what their source was for having the maximum level be 40.5? Thank you so much!!!

== A couple of things (mostly Bulbanews) ==

Hello, I'd wish to talk about Bulbanews. Firstly, the new logo introduced a year ago has not yet been changed in the tabs and window color in my browser (I'm using Vivaldi) [http://imgur.com/JD7Supv image for reference]. Also, SnorlaxMonster created [[Bulbanews:User:SnorlaxMonster/Front page|a draft for a front page]] in that coloration, why has this not yet been implemented? The Bulba color template is still light green so a lot of things on Bulbanews in sill in that coloration. Also on a slight sidenote, the link from Bulbapedia and the Archives to Bulbanews when having set a different language translates it to current events (Aktuella händelser for me since my settings are in Swedish) for some reason, this is especialy strange since in English it just says Bulbanews, I don't think this is meant to be so if you could change that it would be nice.

Secondly, recently when unwatching a page the site asks me if I'm sure if I want to unwatch this page and I have to press yes before unwatching, this is annoying if I for some reason have to unwatch several pages at once which I sometimes do. This did not happen before some time ago so I'm wondering why and if it could be fixed. --[[User:Raltseye|Raltseye]] [[User talk:Raltseye|prata med mej]] 08:31, 5 September 2016 (UTC)

== The Message from the Editor and the inevitable site lockdown ==

I'm just wondering two things:

# When is the Message from the Editor on the main page going to change, since it has been 172-3 days since the message was last updated, back in March.
# When the site goes into lockdown because of the release of Pokémon Sun and Moon (It's happened at every release of a core series game for more than 5 years), is it possible to exclude individual pages from the lockdown, so that Pokémon Shuffle can continue to have its pages updated each week as it receives its weekly update, or will it simply have to wait until the lockdown ends or someone with the necessary user rights has time to edit the pages and add that week's new Pokémon and Special Stages?

[[User:PartHunter|PartHunter]] ([[User talk:PartHunter|talk]]) 14:04, 9 September 2016 (UTC)
:#The Message from the Editor is updated when there's an actual reason to update it, we don't post messages there just for the fun of it. There hasn't been a significant reason to make a new MftE since the last one, so there hasn't been one since then.
:#It hasn't yet been decided if we'll need to lock the wiki down for Sun & Moon release, though it is likely we will need to do so. We cannot pick & choose what pages are affected by the lockdown, it's all or nothing. There may be some trusted users allowed to continue editing through the lockdown, as we have done in the past, but that decision will be made much closer to the release of Sun & Moon. - [[User:Kogoro|'''Kogoro''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''Talk to me''']] - 05:49, 17 September 2016 (UTC)

== Forced preview ==

I've been on a forced preview for severs years now, and I've occasionally felt it to be a hindrance. It was originally placed on me in order to, well, force preview before saving any edits. I thought I'd ask if it was possible to undo this. I remember asking about this a couple years or so back, but it was denied back then. Now I happen to be in a mood and spot where I feel like I could make the request again. So I kindly ask: Would it be possible and/or acceptable for one of you higher-ups of Bulbapedia to remove my forced preview? Waiting for your answer, [[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 08:13, 9 October 2016 (UTC).
:You are no longer forced to preview. However, there is one condition to this: We don't want to see a return to old habits of making frequent multi-edits. If you get back into the habit of frequently making multiple edits to articles to fix typos & such, you will be back to having forced preview indefinitely. - [[User:Kogoro|'''Kogoro''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''Talk to me''']] - 09:49, 18 October 2016 (UTC)
::Okay, thanks for that.

== Copyright misunderstanding ==

So, sorry to bother you, but I got myself in the most unpleasant situation.

Recently I added some Origin to the Garchomp page, Bulette, a D&D original creature.

The user [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpking0192]] started a edit war claiming that "you" (I guess he thinks he's a staff member?) don't accept modern/copyrighted basis on the Origin section. All Right.

The "modern" sounded like a biased personal criteria to me since maaany Pokémon have modern inspirations, regardless, Dragon and Dungeons is almost half a century old and is really relevant to the RPG culture and could easily influence Pokémon, so I find hard to just ignore it. But the copyright could indeed be a problem; so, after some quick research I found the official list of their copyrighted creatures and Bulette wasn't one of them. So I added the Origin back and explained that it seemed like Bulette was not copyrighted.

Still, he removed it one more time with the same argument. I reverted it one more time and asked him to create a topic on the Talk Page if he wanted to debate about it properly and further, or to leave the Origin's viability analysis to some staff member. Then, the Administrator glik intervened and removed the changes, he went to my talk page and told me to find proof of Bulette's situation and to contact an Editorial member about it. So here I am. I guess he didn't believe me about it or misunderstood me, dunno.

I wasn't sure who I had to contact, but a friend of mine that works on the staff told me you would be the most adequate.

Anyway, here's the list they wanted, third question:

* "http://5e.d20srd.org/faq.htm"

tl; dr. Pompous random user removing things around, staff tells me to prove landshark ain't copyrighted to someone above him, here I am, end.

What happens now? Can I re-add it since it's all good? I mean, it was all good from the very beginning, but whatever. Thanks~

[[User:ExLight|ExLight]] ([[User talk:ExLight|talk]]) 21:42, 5 January 2017 (UTC)
:Just popping in to say please assume good faith, I certainly don't think I'm a staff member, and when I used "we" I was referring to Bulbapedia as a community, i.e. ''all'' of us, not just those with authority (of whom I certainly am not). Again, please assume good faith. Thanks. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 05:18, 6 January 2017 (UTC)
::@ExLight: I'm not seeing a significant case to include Bulette as inspiration behind Garchomp, or its evolutionary relatives. As it's been noted, we generally avoid things that originate from copyrighted media (regardless to whether the character itself is copyrighted or not), as it's a very tricky thing to conclusively prove if they were or weren't the origin. If an official source actually notes that it was inspiration for any of the Pokémon, then we would include it. Additionally, please take some time to read the {{bp|code of conduct}}. Calling someone "pompous" really isn't necessary, or appropriate.
::@Pumpkinking0192: As much as others should assume good faith, you might want to try being a little clearer in your edit summaries and other messages you post. Rather than using "we" use "Bulbapedia". Vague wording can easily be misread, so it's always good to take extra effort to make messages clear. - [[User:Kogoro|'''Kogoro''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''Talk to me''']] - 07:21, 7 January 2017 (UTC)

::: I see. Even though I disagree, I can see why that's how it is. It's not really important too, so I guess it doesn't really matter nor is worth such stress.

::: Well, thanks. [[User:ExLight|ExLight]] ([[User talk:ExLight|talk]]) 01:13, 8 January 2017 (UTC)
:::EDIT: I know you are probably busy, but I need to have a real talk with someone from the staff about the Origins sections. Sorry if you're not the one I'm looking for.

::: After thinking a lot over this matter, I decided I had to discuss about a few things that I noticed that are related to this section, mainly the process of selection of what goes in there and the "taboofication" of a few topics.

::: Firstly, I would like to point out that unlike most of the sections, Origins are impossible to be perfectly accurate since it requires the original creators to know the real inspirations, so it will always have speculations. Actually, most of the origins we have on the Bulbapedia are pure speculation. Avoiding this fact, as well as not mentioning possible origin, is silly and ends up damaging the real purpose of the Origin section.

::: This actually raises an issue since the selection of what goes in there is kind of unstable due to the subjectivity of the origins and, sometimes, biased. This results in a chaotic, non-homogenous section that often has some impossible/incomplete information. A few exemples that have/had been around for some time are: Vaporeon's design being compared to something that didn't even exist by the time it was designed, Floette's name being associated with the non-word "florette", Gabite being listed as a Land Shark from D&D for months despite all the ruckus related to Garchomp, many other pokémon compared to a few copyrighted media, some unlikely species in a few Pokémon's origins (especially in birds), etc.

::: As far as I can see, the Bulbapedia system seems to work fine most of the cases because they are mostly objective, but due to the Origin's section being so subjective and abstract the fact that just a few select what goes in and out is really repressive and can be flawed. So I feel like there should be a reform on this system, specifically for this part, since this actually tends to get stronger when reinforced by a large variety of points of view.

::: A project that would allow more freedom on this would be the creation of topics for discussion of each relevant theory and speculation, opening space for presenting the pros and cons of each claim, and then some process of popular approval. This way, these topics could be linked into the Origin's section similar to George Hutcheon's "On the Origin of Species" articles while still making clear that they're not official explanations and that its contents are not considered official in any way to the Bulbapedia or TPC. This would help to filter some absurd info and allow the Origin section be get more democratic or organized, maybe even separating it further on segments such as Concept, Design, Real World and Folkloric inspirations. A model like this would allow to include "taboofied" themes such as possible copyrighted media, polemic religious inspirations, and popular theories.

::: I know you might be thinking Talk Pages are enough, but unfortunately they don't seem to be the best place to discuss about origins since they often get lost amidst many other topics and/or ignored by indifference. Providing a particular space for those interested in origins would be refreshing and could fix some actual issues.

::: Since Bulbapedia is the role model for most of the Pokémon sites I believe it should try to be as organized and complete as it can. Pursuing this matter somehow would be an interesting way to improve the site's quality and organization.

::: I do understand that the Bulbapedia is huge, and it's hard for the staff, or the members, to take care of everything 24/7, but I do feel a little uncomfortable seeing some lost great potential and a few absurd things around one of the most important sections. So, please, at least consider my proposal; it's not as complicated as it might sound.

::: Have a nice day.

== A few questions ==

Hey, long time no see. I would like to ask just a few questions.

1. Is there any reason for this wiki not to use the [[mw:Extension:WikiEditor|WikiEditor extension]]? It provides a rather friendlier and more advanced editing interface, not to the mention the ever-so-welcome 'find and replace' function.

2. Would it be possible to combine my user talk archives? And to move the current four messages from my main user talk to the combined archives? The first archive has only one message while I am sure that I will not be receiving new messages (on my main talk) due to my bouts of inactivity. In a way, I am asking this more for the aesthetic part but also for keeping things in one place. I have read the talk page policy, but either it does not specify it, or it does but it's unclear or I find it unclear.

Hi there! Sorry for skipping all the way to the top of the chain of command, but I'm not sure whose purview link templates fall under.

I wanted to ask whether it would be a good idea for us to have a link template called <code><nowiki>{{Mega Evolve}}</nowiki></code> that produces the text <code><nowiki>[[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]]</nowiki></code> so it's easier to link it in that way when the verb form is desired (such as the sentence I just added to the [[Z-Crystal]] article).

== Template:MoveInfobox ==

Dear Madam EiC, hi Kogoro,

could you please approve [[User:Nescientist/Template:MoveInfobox|this template]]? Further infos/arguments are at its talk page, and in the edit history if you'd like. Please let me know if you feel anything needs changing, in particular relating to its inclusion of (cropped) Z-Crystal images.

I'm prepared to semi-automatically run through all move pages to incorporate the new params (plus some other stuff). Note that, if you already moved/merged it now, the pages shouldn't break (neither visually nor semantically).

Also, are [[accuracy]] and/or [[damage category]] to be moved? If so, I suggest doing it in one swoop!? In addition to the move infobox, it "only" seems to be all learnlist headers, some minor unprotected templates I could do, and a few links spread across the wiki (many of which seem to be at move pages, so I could easily catch those, too).

== Marshtompert ==

I hope I'm not overstepping my boundaries, but I've been suspicious about Marshtompert ever since they started editing: they seemed to be far too familiar with Bulbapedia proceedings to be a truly new user, and seemed to be just abrasive enough about some of their edits that I wondered if they might be someone sockpuppeting to get around a ban. But I didn't have any real ''reason'' to suspect them, so I tried to ignore it.

Now they are habitually adding delete templates to the userpages of banned users, just like Spyspotter once did (and in at least one case, on [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=User:Aquagal444&curid=21462&action=history the same page] as one that Spyspotter targeted). I know it's not my place, but I feel obliged to alert the staff to this suspicion and ask whether y'all have checked whether Marshtompert may be another of Spyspotter's sockpuppets, which I know they made frequently in the past.

Thanks for your time. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 18:20, 16 July 2017 (UTC)

== Images ==

I just wanted to make you aware that the staff here prefer .png images instead of .jpg. I'm telling you this cause the image you uploaded of the [[Poké Spot Monitor]] was a .jpg. Just thought I'd let you know so if the file was deleted, you'd know why. :D Also you can upload a new version of a file without uploading an entirely new file. At the bottom of an image page, it should say "Upload a new version of this image" or something of the sort. Using that will save you the hassle of putting in a new file name onto the pages. :3 [[Typhlosion|★]][[User:Jo The Marten|Jo the Marten]][[Flygon|★]] [[User_talk:Jo The Marten|ಠ_ಠ]] 21:36, 14 January 2011 (UTC)

== Manga birthdays in trivia ==

You can't remove something because "It is already in the infobox". The infobox is a supplement to the article. It helps summarize it in a way. It should NOT be a replacement for information in the article. An article with '''1 sentence''' and a '''full infobox''' would be worse then an article with a '''full paragraph''' of information that can all be found in the infobox and '''a picture'''. Hope you understand. Thanks, '''[[User:Blake|Blake]]''' [[User talk:Blake#top|Talk]]·[[Special:Contributions/Blake|Edits]] 17:54, 18 January 2011 (UTC)

== Page deletion ==

Removing the content from a page doesn't delete it. Only admins can delete pages. To let us know that a page needs deletion, please add <nowiki>{{delete}}</nowiki> to the top of it.

== Removing sections ==

Just because a large chunk of text is removed, that doesn't necessarily mean it is a bad thing.

== Notes about the TCG templates ==

Where to start. The links for the Trainer cards you were adding were incorrect. First off, they are fine the way they are. However, if you were to change them, you'd need to change the TCG Template to the TCG ID template, and also add the number to the end of the template. <nowiki>{{TCG ID|Rising Rivals|Bebe's Search|89}}</nowiki>. The link has to link to the redirect of the most appropriate release for that card. A deck from 2005 can't be using a 2011 release of Rare Candy, now can it? No. That's why the links are the way they are. Additionally, I think the reason your link to {{TCG|Stormfront}} wasn't working was because you were trying to spell it "StormFront"? None of the sets are CamelCase.

{{TCG|Mother Flygon}} has the outdated template for a separate reason. It's a deck archetype, which are outdated because of how the formats and set rotations work in the TCG. When you add the template to Theme Decks, you need to specify the [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Mind_Machine_%28TCG%29&action=historysubmit&diff=1605834&oldid=1605814 type of Trainer card the cards are]. Also, if you do the GB Decks, use the template used on {{TCG|Great Quake Deck}}, not the one for theme decks. They are different. ''[[User:Maverick Nate|'''Maverick''']][[User talk:Maverick Nate|'''Nate''']]'' 20:01, 18 February 2012 (UTC)
: Ah, that makes more sense to me. I saw them and didn't add a number as they were lacking them originally. As for Stormfront, I spelled it as Stormfront and still got a red link, not sure why it was doing so. Alright then, will be sure to do the decks from the Pokemon GBC game in that format. Thanks for showing me what went wrong with editing. [[User:Frozen Fennec|Frozen Fennec]] 20:05, 18 February 2012 (UTC)
::Thought I would ask before editing the pages. If I use the Great Quake Deck as a base template for the other decks in that game then the level part is no longer necessary is it? [[User:Frozen Fennec|Frozen Fennec]] 03:20, 19 February 2012 (UTC)
:::Correct. ''[[User:Maverick Nate|'''Maverick''']][[User talk:Maverick Nate|'''Nate''']]'' 07:27, 19 February 2012 (UTC)

:Paragraph writing is easy. Just make sure to try writing them like this.And not like this. When starting a new sentence, hit the space button then write so the words and all aren't scrunched together. As for paragraphing. I try to keep count of how many I've written so far.

== Obvious ==

That's pretty obvious,plus it's the same for almost all legendaries.
ex: normal and shiny [[legendary beasts|beasts]], Lugia and her baby, regis in M09 and brandon's regis etc. so I don't really see the point in keeping it. Plus the other "in the anime" section of other legendaries don't mention the game thing.--[[User:DJWolfy|--'''DJ''']][[User talk:DJWolfy|'''Wolfy''']] 15:39, 2 March 2012 (UTC)
: I left it since in the movie it was shown to be able to breed. The only other legendary Pokémon I've seen capable of breeding or more than one of is Lugia, Regis, Celebi, Mew, and Deoxys. Don't think I've seen any of the other legendaries having more than one of themselves especially Mewtwo who is a one of ak ind along with others. ''[[User:Frozen Fennec|Frozen]] [[User talk:Frozen Fennec|Fennec]]'' 15:42, 2 March 2012 (UTC)
::Yeah,that's why I said for almost all. Of course you won't see Arceus twice cause it's the original one or mewtwo since it is itself a human creation. But usually 580-600 stat legendaries are more than one. That's why I think it isn't necessary for "the game" thing to be on Latias' page. Also the same thing it is already mentioned on their page "In all but one of the games, there appears to only be one of each legendary Pokémon, but in the anime, there is more than one of most legendary Pokémon. This may just mean that the creators of the game intended the player to only ever happen to meet one of them canonically, and in fact there are others elsewhere which the player does not encounter." {{unsigned|DJWolfy}}

The Talk page policy states not to respond to messages older than 6 months UNLESS you have valid reason to do so. I had a valid reason to revive the discussion. [[User:Yamitora1|Yamitora1]] 18:07, 6 March 2012 (UTC)
:''Generally old comments over six months old should not be revived, however, if there is a legitimate reason to bring it up again, please do so. '' From the FAQ. Having watched the movie myself a couple of weeks back, he felt this his clones were much better and was going to clone all the Pokémon currently there and storm the world with the clones. You can disagree if you wish though, not saying I'm absolutely right but I feel that's what he was up to when he did what he did in the first movie.

::I have it stored on my pc in flv format and saw it today.

::After Ash's Charizard was defeated, Mewtwo materialized 3 of his clone balls saying "As the victor, I now claim my prize, your Pokémon!" He then captures Ash's Charizard, Shellshocker and Bruteroot in that order. Misty asks "What are you going to do with those Pokémon!?" Mewtwo responds "I will extract their DNA to make clones for myself! They will remain safe on this island with me, while my storm destroys the planet" This is before he materialized more clone balls and Psychic Ash into Brock. He then sends the swarm after everyone as ash and the others try to make a break for it.

::Although Mewtwo hadn't cloned Ash's Charizard, Shellshocker or Bruteroot in that instance, he made it clear he planned to later as far as the English dub is concerned. That is what I relayed in the revival comment. Plus I'm not the only one to post on it way after 6 months.

::::Theoretically, Mewtwo would also need the extra DNA from Ash's Charizard, Shellshocker and Bruteroot to sustain a healthy population of his clones. While where he obtained the genetics for the first Charizardtwo, Blastoisetwo and Venusaurtwo is speculation, most agree it was somehow from Charmandertwo, Squirtletwo and Bulbasaurtwo, despite them dying & Mewtwo destroying the lab and any possible surviving genetic samples directly or indirectly. In any case, while he successfully cloned them, even somehow evolved them, it was indicated that there were many problems during the first cloning procedures/processes because the kept dying. This leads the viewer to believe there is some kind of genetic defect to cause this deterioration. Plus out of all the clones, these three had the most drastically different markings which are also speculated to be from defects in the genetics. So no mater what, its a good bet Mewtwo needed and would use the DNA sooner if not later. [[User:Yamitora1|Yamitora1]] 19:23, 6 March 2012 (UTC)
:::::I see what you are saying there. However did it look like he was using the stuff right away and the clones looked close to perfect so maybe he made a near perfected system from the rubble he left on the island after destroying it. That and they were shown to be able to breed in the second movie that he was in, albeit they were in final forms or current stage of their evolution line rather than starter/baby forms. ''[[User:Frozen Fennec|Frozen]] [[User talk:Frozen Fennec|Fennec]]'' 19:30, 6 March 2012 (UTC)
::::::Unfortunately Ash destroyed the machine before anything else was crested. The last clones were just barely out of incubation before everything blew up. We have to go by Mewtwo's actions of capturing Ash's Charizard, Shellshocker and Bruteroot in the first place to indicate his future plans for them and their genetics. Mewtwo is theatrical, but I doubt he'd just capture three Pokémon for their genetics for no reason. [[User:Yamitora1|Yamitora1]] 20:02, 6 March 2012 (UTC)

:Saying all the gym leaders have a type disadvantage to the next one. By this I would assume that the next gym leader has a type that is super-effective to the previous gym leader except Brock as there is no gym leader battled before him.

Sorry, but how is [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Registeel_(Pokémon)&curid=2649&diff=1700623&oldid=1700622 the previous revision "better worded"]? Contractions are informal and shouldn't be used in formal writing such as the Bulbapedia mainspace. I can understand the repetition of "the legendary golems" not being quite optimal (although something other than the super-informal "Regis" still needs to be used), but there was no need to revert the contractions back in, was there? [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 23:52, 11 June 2012 (UTC)
:Actually, as I was taught, informal language is text speaking or how one would talk to another on a cell phone usually spelling things incorrectly. Regis is also formal since the Regis are called, legendary golems, Regi trio, or simply Regis. If the contraction was something like ''they'll'' or ''ain't'' I could understand since those would be informal. As it is, ''it's'' is quite common to use and very formal. Hope that helps you understand a little bit. ''[[User:Frozen Fennec|Frozen]] [[User talk:Frozen Fennec|Fennec]]'' 23:58, 11 June 2012 (UTC)
::If you insist, I'll let it go your way, but I'm afraid I have to respectfully disagree for the moment. I've always been taught that no contractions are ''ever'' considered formal - I've even seen "it's" -> "it is" used in examples in textbooks [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:CONTRACTIONS and even Wikipedia]. (As for "Regis", as fanon-y as that term sounds, our own article apparently uses it, so I guess I have to grin and bear it. I won't mention it again.)

== TCG move errors. ==

It's rather not good idea listing moves that didn't exist yet. For example, few {{p|Ampharos}} cards had Bolt Strike if I remember (but under different English name) on them. Didn't add that, the move wasn't in games until three generations and almost eleven years later{{tt|*|Confusion translated as Psyshock is another story, though.}} - I also fixed table (there was redundant |- everywhere). [[User:Marked +-+-+|Marked +-+-+]] ([[User talk:Marked +-+-+|talk]]) 15:37, 22 March 2013 (UTC)
:I [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Whitney%27s_Lickitung_%28VS_17%29&diff=1867653&oldid=1867375 had just removed this trivia] not more than six hours before you added it again.
:Furthermore, our database is not ready to be doing [[TCG move errors|this page]], and I'm rather disappointed and annoyed that no one decided to contact the {{u|Maverick Nate|Head of TCG}} before attempting this page to make sure we were ready, or if plans weren't already being done. Any work on it right now is futile, because not all the card pages even exist, let alone have correct information regarding the cards' moves. There are several things that needed to happen before this page could have been started correctly. 1) A more appropriate table needed to be created. 2) All the origin sections needed to be double checked to remove speculation and false information. 3) TCG sections for all moves, abilities, Warrior skills, etc needed to be created (which can't even be completed until Bulbapedia's search gets repaired). 4) [[Error cards]] need to be researched and a system for classifying errors needs to be developed. After these four things are finished, then we would have been able to start work on [[TCG move errors]]. This page is not going to exist in the end. It is going to be an extremely condensed sub section of the Error cards page. Next time you try to work on such an extremely large TCG undertaking, please ''talk'' to me so that we can at least develop a system for 100% completion and accuracy, because I don't like having to undo someone's work everytime you decided to add an inappropriate trivia: like [[Whitney's Lickitung (VS 17)|this Pokémon]] knowing {{m|Lick}} (したでなめる) when it actually knows Lick (なめる), or {{TCG ID|Vending|Pidgeotto|S3}} knowing {{m|Twister}} (たつまき) when it actually knows Twister (ツイスター), OR {{TCG ID|Gym Heroes|Brock's Golbat|39}} knowing {{m|Dive}} (ダイビング) when it actually knows "Dive" (スピードひこう) (later translated as Speed Dive). The inappropriate trivias will only exist simply because there is a rift between accuracy, what needs to be said, and what exactly is going on with the cards
:There are a lot of things that needed to happen first, specifically with finalizing what needs to be said in each card's origin section. Talk to me first next time, so that we can work on things ''together''. It's hard for me to keep track of 8000 cards when tons of people decide to do their own thing without talking to me at all. I apologize if I sound a bit harsh: I'm just highly disappointed, and want everything to be as great as possible, which I just don't think is possible with this page at this moment based on the state in which the rest of our TCG database is.

::Did not realize it was that big of an error on my part creating the page.
::First, the only reason I had |- in between card entries was to make it easier to see where one card began and ended at. Aside from that, they served no other purpose.

::As for the TCG Error page being created. I started that one upon noticing that the Error moves template {{template|Move errors}} had a red link for the TCG link. I didn't think there was any harm in adding the page at the time. As for fixing up the template being used on that page as a whole, I would be more than happy to wait on that to happen before working on the page again. Also if it is only meant to be a sub section of the [[Error cards|error cards]] page then I have no problem with going through and removing the images themselves so they consume less space on the page. As for taking it up with you (Head of TCG) next time, I will be more than happy to do so.

::Lastly,
::1. What kind of table would be appropriate in this case?
::2. Removing false information and speculation, I will do my best in regards to both of those.
::3. I can understand the first part. My question, how is the search broken at the moment? Not doubting you, just curious as to how it's broken.

== Redlinks ==

Do NOT. I repeat, do NOT remove redlinks to pages that should actually exist, no matter what space they are linked from.

== TCG Template ==

The TCG Template (aka [[Template:TCG]]) is in all caps. You should never be using the redirect for the link template, it should always, without exception, be <nowiki>{{TCG|}}</nowiki> ''[[User:Maverick Nate|'''Maverick''']][[User talk:Maverick Nate|'''Nate''']]'' 02:11, 23 July 2017 (UTC)

== Minor edit tag ==

Hello, the minor edit tag (m) only applies when edits don't add significant information to an article (examples would be spelling and punctuation corrections; removing vandalism; correcting or adding links). I'm referring to [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Pok%C3%A9mon_Stadium_(Japanese)&curid=14856&diff=2673663&oldid=2625367 this edit]. --[[User:Froggy25|Froggy25]] ([[User talk:Froggy25|talk]]) 18:08, 1 August 2017 (UTC)
:Minor edit tags can also apply to when the edits are small (under +500.) ''[[User:Frozen Fennec|Frozen]] [[User talk:Frozen Fennec|Fennec]]'' 18:11, 1 August 2017 (UTC)
::From where are you quoting that? Quoting Editorial Board member Zesty Cactus [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/User_talk:Thatguywiththecodes/Archive_1 "Minor edits are grammar, spelling, and otherwise minute changes."] Not adding actual information to an article. m tags are there so people following pages can skip the actual minor edits. For reference (as Bulbapedia doesn't have a page detailing the use of the minor edit tag), here are [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Minor_edit Wikipedia's guidelines], which are more or less used in every major wiki. --[[User:Froggy25|Froggy25]] ([[User talk:Froggy25|talk]]) 18:21, 1 August 2017 (UTC)
:::That was 8 years ago, policies can change over time. I have also spoken with an admin of Bulbapedia who states there is no current policy on how to use the minor edit tag as long as it is not used when making a new page (which is pretty much impossible.) Have a nice day~ ''[[User:Frozen Fennec|Frozen]] [[User talk:Frozen Fennec|Fennec]]'' 18:26, 1 August 2017 (UTC)

== Welcoming ==

I noticed that you had copy pasted the welcome template to welcome someone. Yeah, that's not how you're supposed to do it... you have to use this <nowiki>{{subst:welcome}}</nowiki> to welcome someone. Please use this next time ok? [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] 18:12, 12 January 2011 (UTC)

== Images ==

I just wanted to make you aware that the staff here prefer .png images instead of .jpg. I'm telling you this cause the image you uploaded of the [[Poké Spot Monitor]] was a .jpg. Just thought I'd let you know so if the file was deleted, you'd know why. :D Also you can upload a new version of a file without uploading an entirely new file. At the bottom of an image page, it should say "Upload a new version of this image" or something of the sort. Using that will save you the hassle of putting in a new file name onto the pages. :3 [[Typhlosion|★]][[User:Jo The Marten|Jo the Marten]][[Flygon|★]] [[User_talk:Jo The Marten|ಠ_ಠ]] 21:36, 14 January 2011 (UTC)

== Manga birthdays in trivia ==

You can't remove something because "It is already in the infobox". The infobox is a supplement to the article. It helps summarize it in a way. It should NOT be a replacement for information in the article. An article with '''1 sentence''' and a '''full infobox''' would be worse then an article with a '''full paragraph''' of information that can all be found in the infobox and '''a picture'''. Hope you understand. Thanks, '''[[User:Blake|Blake]]''' [[User talk:Blake#top|Talk]]·[[Special:Contributions/Blake|Edits]] 17:54, 18 January 2011 (UTC)
:Well that helps a bit. Still alright to go through articles and change the "Name" part at bottom to "In other languages" correct?[[User:Frozen Fennec|Frozen Fennec]] 22:40, 18 January 2011 (UTC)
::Only if the section doesn't include the English and Japanese names. Those two don't count as "other" languages. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 22:44, 18 January 2011 (UTC)
:::Will do then, can't wait to hopefully be autoconfirmed soon as well. :-) [[User:Frozen Fennec|Frozen Fennec]] 22:45, 18 January 2011 (UTC)

== Page deletion ==

Removing the content from a page doesn't delete it. Only admins can delete pages. To let us know that a page needs deletion, please add <nowiki>{{delete}}</nowiki> to the top of it. This automatically adds it to [[:Category:Pages to be deleted]], while still allowing us to view the content of the page without having to search through the history. Thanks. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 03:56, 18 July 2011 (UTC)
:Thanks for informing me of this. Will keep it in mind for future pages. [[User:Frozen Fennec|Frozen Fennec]]

== The Preview Button ==
Instead of editing a page several times in a row, try using the preview button to make sure your edit looks the way you want it to. It's right next to the Save Changes button... Please try it out, so as not to clog up the Recent Changes. Thanks! --[[User:Pokemaster97|--Pokemaster]][[User talk:Pokemaster97|97]] 16:14, 18 July 2011 (UTC)
: Yea, I know. Right when I think it's correct it turns out the link is still incorrect. I still preview things for most part. Thanks for telling me this though. [[User:Frozen Fennec|Frozen Fennec]]

== Removing sections ==

Just because a large chunk of text is removed, that doesn't necessarily mean it is a bad thing. Please do not revert i back without a rebuttal to the information that was provided for the initial removal. It was already explained that those weren't mistakes because the animators used more specific source material than normal--[[User:SandmanDP|SandmanDP]] 23:57, 12 February 2012 (UTC)

== Link templates ==

Hey, please make a habit of using the [[LLT|Link templates]]. They're there to make linking to specific pages easier. [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=The_Art_Of_Pok%C3%A9mon_The_First_Movie&diff=1603387&oldid=1603193 I'd prefer not to have to do this again.] Also, make sure you're spelling a Pokémon's name correctly.

== Trivia Question ==

Hello there fellow Bulbapedian.
I see you haven't answered my e-mail so I'm just going to write you here.
Well why do you say that the trivia I wrote on [[AG159]] isn't trivia material ?
It isn't common for Team Rocket to blast such different,is it?
--'''DJWolfy'''. 13:57, 16 February 2012 (UTC)
: As far as trivia gos, I don't really see how it is important enough to go there. Then again I'm mostly collecting the cards, some books, and just playing the games. I really should consider watching the show more often though. If you feel it is important then feel free to add it again. If a sysop/admin removes it though, don't re-add it as that just results in edit wars clogging up recent changes. Have a great day. [[User:Frozen Fennec|Frozen Fennec]] 21:04, 16 February 2012 (UTC)

== Notes about the TCG templates ==

Where to start. The links for the Trainer cards you were adding were incorrect. First off, they are fine the way they are. However, if you were to change them, you'd need to change the TCG Template to the TCG ID template, and also add the number to the end of the template. <nowiki>{{TCG ID|Rising Rivals|Bebe's Search|89}}</nowiki>. The link has to link to the redirect of the most appropriate release for that card. A deck from 2005 can't be using a 2011 release of Rare Candy, now can it? No. That's why the links are the way they are. Additionally, I think the reason your link to {{TCG|Stormfront}} wasn't working was because you were trying to spell it "StormFront"? None of the sets are CamelCase.

{{TCG|Mother Flygon}} has the outdated template for a separate reason. It's a deck archetype, which are outdated because of how the formats and set rotations work in the TCG. When you add the template to Theme Decks, you need to specify the [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Mind_Machine_%28TCG%29&action=historysubmit&diff=1605834&oldid=1605814 type of Trainer card the cards are]. Also, if you do the GB Decks, use the template used on {{TCG|Great Quake Deck}}, not the one for theme decks. They are different. ''[[User:Maverick Nate|'''Maverick''']][[User talk:Maverick Nate|'''Nate''']]'' 20:01, 18 February 2012 (UTC)
: Ah, that makes more sense to me. I saw them and didn't add a number as they were lacking them originally. As for Stormfront, I spelled it as Stormfront and still got a red link, not sure why it was doing so. Alright then, will be sure to do the decks from the Pokemon GBC game in that format. Thanks for showing me what went wrong with editing. [[User:Frozen Fennec|Frozen Fennec]] 20:05, 18 February 2012 (UTC)
::Thought I would ask before editing the pages. If I use the Great Quake Deck as a base template for the other decks in that game then the level part is no longer necessary is it? [[User:Frozen Fennec|Frozen Fennec]] 03:20, 19 February 2012 (UTC)
:::Correct. ''[[User:Maverick Nate|'''Maverick''']][[User talk:Maverick Nate|'''Nate''']]'' 07:27, 19 February 2012 (UTC)

== Thanks! ==

:Paragraph writing is easy. Just make sure to try writing them like this.And not like this. When starting a new sentence, hit the space button then write so the words and all aren't scrunched together. As for paragraphing. I try to keep count of how many I've written so far. When I get 6-7 written. I hit enter twice and start a new paragraph so it won't end up as a wall of text. Lastly, yea, Pokémon is always capitalized. Hope that helps. :-) [[User:Frozen Fennec|Frozen Fennec]] 15:32, 20 February 2012 (UTC)

== Obvious ==

That's pretty obvious,plus it's the same for almost all legendaries.
ex: normal and shiny [[legendary beasts|beasts]], Lugia and her baby, regis in M09 and brandon's regis etc. so I don't really see the point in keeping it. Plus the other "in the anime" section of other legendaries don't mention the game thing.--[[User:DJWolfy|--'''DJ''']][[User talk:DJWolfy|'''Wolfy''']] 15:39, 2 March 2012 (UTC)
: I left it since in the movie it was shown to be able to breed. The only other legendary Pokémon I've seen capable of breeding or more than one of is Lugia, Regis, Celebi, Mew, and Deoxys. Don't think I've seen any of the other legendaries having more than one of themselves especially Mewtwo who is a one of ak ind along with others. ''[[User:Frozen Fennec|Frozen]] [[User talk:Frozen Fennec|Fennec]]'' 15:42, 2 March 2012 (UTC)
::Yeah,that's why I said for almost all. Of course you won't see Arceus twice cause it's the original one or mewtwo since it is itself a human creation. But usually 580-600 stat legendaries are more than one. That's why I think it isn't necessary for "the game" thing to be on Latias' page. Also the same thing it is already mentioned on their page "In all but one of the games, there appears to only be one of each legendary Pokémon, but in the anime, there is more than one of most legendary Pokémon. This may just mean that the creators of the game intended the player to only ever happen to meet one of them canonically, and in fact there are others elsewhere which the player does not encounter." {{unsigned|DJWolfy}}

You can disagree if you wish though, not saying I'm absolutely right but I feel that's what he was up to when he did what he did in the first movie.

::I have it stored on my pc in flv format and saw it today.

::After Ash's Charizard was defeated, Mewtwo materialized 3 of his clone balls saying "As the victor, I now claim my prize, your Pokémon!" He then captures Ash's Charizard, Shellshocker and Bruteroot in that order. Misty asks "What are you going to do with those Pokémon!?" Mewtwo responds "I will extract their DNA to make clones for myself! They will remain safe on this island with me, while my storm destroys the planet" This is before he materialized more clone balls and Psychic Ash into Brock. He then sends the swarm after everyone as ash and the others try to make a break for it.

::::Theoretically, Mewtwo would also need the extra DNA from Ash's Charizard, Shellshocker and Bruteroot to sustain a healthy population of his clones. While where he obtained the genetics for the first Charizardtwo, Blastoisetwo and Venusaurtwo is speculation, most agree it was somehow from Charmandertwo, Squirtletwo and Bulbasaurtwo, despite them dying & Mewtwo destroying the lab and any possible surviving genetic samples directly or indirectly. In any case, while he successfully cloned them, even somehow evolved them, it was indicated that there were many problems during the first cloning procedures/processes because the kept dying. This leads the viewer to believe there is some kind of genetic defect to cause this deterioration. Plus out of all the clones, these three had the most drastically different markings which are also speculated to be from defects in the genetics. So no mater what, its a good bet Mewtwo needed and would use the DNA sooner if not later. [[User:Yamitora1|Yamitora1]] 19:23, 6 March 2012 (UTC)
:::::I see what you are saying there. However did it look like he was using the stuff right away and the clones looked close to perfect so maybe he made a near perfected system from the rubble he left on the island after destroying it. That and they were shown to be able to breed in the second movie that he was in, albeit they were in final forms or current stage of their evolution line rather than starter/baby forms.

::::::Unfortunately Ash destroyed the machine before anything else was crested. The last clones were just barely out of incubation before everything blew up. We have to go by Mewtwo's actions of capturing Ash's Charizard, Shellshocker and Bruteroot in the first place to indicate his future plans for them and their genetics. Mewtwo is theatrical, but I doubt he'd just capture three Pokémon for their genetics for no reason. [[User:Yamitora1|Yamitora1]] 20:02, 6 March 2012 (UTC)

== Edit on Indigo League page ==

I found a similar piece of work on the Johto League trivia section and I saw that the opposite applied to the Kanto League gym leaders so I thought I'd edit the Kanto League page as well. Was there a problem? [[User:Arceus101|Arceus101]] 22:19, 13 March 2012 (UTC)
:Saying all the gym leaders have a type disadvantage to the next one. By this I would assume that the next gym leader has a type that is super-effective to the previous gym leader except Brock as there is no gym leader battled before him.

I noticed you adjusted the formatting on the Rival's Pokémon boxes on [[Appendix:Emerald_walkthrough/Section_4#Route_110|Emerald Walkthrough (Section 4)]] a few days ago. According to the [[Bulbapedia:Project_Walkthroughs#The_rival|Project Walkthroughs]] page, formatting on Rivals' Pokémon should be ''horizontal'', not ''vertical'', even though it extends out beyond the screen.

Sorry, but how is [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Registeel_(Pokémon)&curid=2649&diff=1700623&oldid=1700622 the previous revision "better worded"]? Contractions are informal and shouldn't be used in formal writing such as the Bulbapedia mainspace. I can understand the repetition of "the legendary golems" not being quite optimal (although something other than the super-informal "Regis" still needs to be used), but there was no need to revert the contractions back in, was there? [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 23:52, 11 June 2012 (UTC)
:Actually, as I was taught, informal language is text speaking or how one would talk to another on a cell phone usually spelling things incorrectly. Regis is also formal since the Regis are called, legendary golems, Regi trio, or simply Regis. If the contraction was something like ''they'll'' or ''ain't'' I could understand since those would be informal. As it is, ''it's'' is quite common to use and very formal. Hope that helps you understand a little bit. ''[[User:Frozen Fennec|Frozen]] [[User talk:Frozen Fennec|Fennec]]'' 23:58, 11 June 2012 (UTC)
::If you insist, I'll let it go your way, but I'm afraid I have to respectfully disagree for the moment. I've always been taught that no contractions are ''ever'' considered formal - I've even seen "it's" -> "it is" used in examples in textbooks [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:CONTRACTIONS and even Wikipedia]. (As for "Regis", as fanon-y as that term sounds, our own article apparently uses it, so I guess I have to grin and bear it. I won't mention it again.) [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 00:55, 12 June 2012 (UTC)
:::Well, nice to see differences are put aside on the Regi part, as for the "it is" and "it's" thing. I suppose we were simply taught about them differently.

== TCG move errors. ==

It's rather not good idea listing moves that didn't exist yet. For example, few {{p|Ampharos}} cards had Bolt Strike if I remember (but under different English name) on them. Didn't add that, the move wasn't in games until three generations and almost eleven years later{{tt|*|Confusion translated as Psyshock is another story, though.}} - I also fixed table (there was redundant |- everywhere). [[User:Marked +-+-+|Marked +-+-+]] ([[User talk:Marked +-+-+|talk]]) 15:37, 22 March 2013 (UTC)
:I [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Whitney%27s_Lickitung_%28VS_17%29&diff=1867653&oldid=1867375 had just removed this trivia] not more than six hours before you added it again.
:Furthermore, our database is not ready to be doing [[TCG move errors|this page]], and I'm rather disappointed and annoyed that no one decided to contact the {{u|Maverick Nate|Head of TCG}} before attempting this page to make sure we were ready, or if plans weren't already being done. Any work on it right now is futile, because not all the card pages even exist, let alone have correct information regarding the cards' moves. There are several things that needed to happen before this page could have been started correctly. 1) A more appropriate table needed to be created. 2) All the origin sections needed to be double checked to remove speculation and false information. 3) TCG sections for all moves, abilities, Warrior skills, etc needed to be created (which can't even be completed until Bulbapedia's search gets repaired). 4) [[Error cards]] need to be researched and a system for classifying errors needs to be developed. After these four things are finished, then we would have been able to start work on [[TCG move errors]]. This page is not going to exist in the end. It is going to be an extremely condensed sub section of the Error cards page. Next time you try to work on such an extremely large TCG undertaking, please ''talk'' to me so that we can at least develop a system for 100% completion and accuracy, because I don't like having to undo someone's work everytime you decided to add an inappropriate trivia: like [[Whitney's Lickitung (VS 17)|this Pokémon]] knowing {{m|Lick}} (したでなめる) when it actually knows Lick (なめる), or {{TCG ID|Vending|Pidgeotto|S3}} knowing {{m|Twister}} (たつまき) when it actually knows Twister (ツイスター), OR {{TCG ID|Gym Heroes|Brock's Golbat|39}} knowing {{m|Dive}} (ダイビング) when it actually knows "Dive" (スピードひこう) (later translated as Speed Dive). The inappropriate trivias will only exist simply because there is a rift between accuracy, what needs to be said, and what exactly is going on with the cards
:There are a lot of things that needed to happen first, specifically with finalizing what needs to be said in each card's origin section. Talk to me first next time, so that we can work on things ''together''. It's hard for me to keep track of 8000 cards when tons of people decide to do their own thing without talking to me at all. I apologize if I sound a bit harsh: I'm just highly disappointed, and want everything to be as great as possible, which I just don't think is possible with this page at this moment based on the state in which the rest of our TCG database is.

::Did not realize it was that big of an error on my part creating the page.
::First, the only reason I had |- in between card entries was to make it easier to see where one card began and ended at. Aside from that, they served no other purpose.

::As for the TCG Error page being created. I started that one upon noticing that the Error moves template {{template|Move errors}} had a red link for the TCG link. I didn't think there was any harm in adding the page at the time. As for fixing up the template being used on that page as a whole, I would be more than happy to wait on that to happen before working on the page again. Also if it is only meant to be a sub section of the [[Error cards|error cards]] page then I have no problem with going through and removing the images themselves so they consume less space on the page. As for taking it up with you (Head of TCG) next time, I will be more than happy to do so.

::Lastly,
::1. What kind of table would be appropriate in this case?
::2. Removing false information and speculation, I will do my best in regards to both of those.
::3. I can understand the first part. My question, how is the search broken at the moment? Not doubting you, just curious as to how it's broken.
::4. Understood.

== Redlinks ==

Do NOT. I repeat, do NOT remove redlinks to pages that should actually exist, no matter what space they are linked from. Just because a page is linked to from a talk page does not mean it is suddenly not notable enough to be put on the wanted pages. There are multiple times that users are discussing pages that should be created and link to them appropriately. Assess what the subject actually is before blindly removing links based on where they are coming from. Redlinks should exist due to '''content''', not '''location'''.

== Welcoming ==

I noticed that you had copy pasted the welcome template to welcome someone. Yeah, that's not how you're supposed to do it... you have to use this <nowiki>{{subst:welcome}}</nowiki> to welcome someone. Please use this next time ok? [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] 18:12, 12 January 2011 (UTC)

== Images ==

I just wanted to make you aware that the staff here prefer .png images instead of .jpg. I'm telling you this cause the image you uploaded of the [[Poké Spot Monitor]] was a .jpg. Just thought I'd let you know so if the file was deleted, you'd know why. :D Also you can upload a new version of a file without uploading an entirely new file. At the bottom of an image page, it should say "Upload a new version of this image" or something of the sort. Using that will save you the hassle of putting in a new file name onto the pages. :3 [[Typhlosion|★]][[User:Jo The Marten|Jo the Marten]][[Flygon|★]] [[User_talk:Jo The Marten|ಠ_ಠ]] 21:36, 14 January 2011 (UTC)
:Thanks for letting me know. I couldn't figure that one out and the original version was also a jpg as well. [[User:Frozen Fennec|Frozen Fennec]] 21:38, 14 January 2011 (UTC)

== Manga birthdays in trivia ==

You can't remove something because "It is already in the infobox". The infobox is a supplement to the article. It helps summarize it in a way. It should NOT be a replacement for information in the article. An article with '''1 sentence''' and a '''full infobox''' would be worse then an article with a '''full paragraph''' of information that can all be found in the infobox and '''a picture'''. Hope you understand. Thanks, '''[[User:Blake|Blake]]''' [[User talk:Blake#top|Talk]]·[[Special:Contributions/Blake|Edits]] 17:54, 18 January 2011 (UTC)
:Well that helps a bit. Still alright to go through articles and change the "Name" part at bottom to "In other languages" correct?[[User:Frozen Fennec|Frozen Fennec]] 22:40, 18 January 2011 (UTC)
::Only if the section doesn't include the English and Japanese names. Those two don't count as "other" languages. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 22:44, 18 January 2011 (UTC)
:::Will do then, can't wait to hopefully be autoconfirmed soon as well. :-) [[User:Frozen Fennec|Frozen Fennec]] 22:45, 18 January 2011 (UTC)

== Page deletion ==

Removing the content from a page doesn't delete it. Only admins can delete pages. To let us know that a page needs deletion, please add <nowiki>{{delete}}</nowiki> to the top of it. This automatically adds it to [[:Category:Pages to be deleted]], while still allowing us to view the content of the page without having to search through the history. Thanks. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 03:56, 18 July 2011 (UTC)
:Thanks for informing me of this. Will keep it in mind for future pages. [[User:Frozen Fennec|Frozen Fennec]]

== The Preview Button ==
Instead of editing a page several times in a row, try using the preview button to make sure your edit looks the way you want it to. It's right next to the Save Changes button... Please try it out, so as not to clog up the Recent Changes. Thanks! --[[User:Pokemaster97|--Pokemaster]][[User talk:Pokemaster97|97]] 16:14, 18 July 2011 (UTC)
: Yea, I know. Right when I think it's correct it turns out the link is still incorrect. I still preview things for most part. Thanks for telling me this though. [[User:Frozen Fennec|Frozen Fennec]]

== Removing sections ==

Just because a large chunk of text is removed, that doesn't necessarily mean it is a bad thing. Please do not revert i back without a rebuttal to the information that was provided for the initial removal. It was already explained that those weren't mistakes because the animators used more specific source material than normal--[[User:SandmanDP|SandmanDP]] 23:57, 12 February 2012 (UTC)

== Link templates ==

Hey, please make a habit of using the [[LLT|Link templates]]. They're there to make linking to specific pages easier. [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=The_Art_Of_Pok%C3%A9mon_The_First_Movie&diff=1603387&oldid=1603193 I'd prefer not to have to do this again.] Also, make sure you're spelling a Pokémon's name correctly. You misspelled Marill throughout that entire article.

:Alright then. I shall make sure to do that in the future. Sorry about doing that. Also sorry about misspelling Marill's name constantly too. [[User:Frozen Fennec|Frozen Fennec]] 13:04, 14 February 2012 (UTC)

== Trivia Question ==

Hello there fellow Bulbapedian.
I see you haven't answered my e-mail so I'm just going to write you here.
Well why do you say that the trivia I wrote on [[AG159]] isn't trivia material ?
It isn't common for Team Rocket to blast such different,is it?
--'''DJWolfy'''. 13:57, 16 February 2012 (UTC)
: As far as trivia gos, I don't really see how it is important enough to go there. Then again I'm mostly collecting the cards, some books, and just playing the games. I really should consider watching the show more often though. If you feel it is important then feel free to add it again. If a sysop/admin removes it though, don't re-add it as that just results in edit wars clogging up recent changes. Have a great day. [[User:Frozen Fennec|Frozen Fennec]] 21:04, 16 February 2012 (UTC)

:::No problem. Feel free to ask stuff if you have more questions. [[User:Frozen Fennec|Frozen Fennec]] 15:21, 17 February 2012 (UTC)

::::Btw,I like that Pokébox at the bottom of your userpage.I don't know if it is or not your personal creation so I am asking you if I could use a modified version of it on my userpage ? --[[User:DJWolfy|--'''DJ''']][[User talk:DJWolfy|'''Wolfy''']] 22:50, 17 February 2012 (UTC)
::::: I didn't make it personally but I remember seeing someone else at the time when I put it on my page using it. The row sizes were a little smaller though. Instead of my current size for each row, they had it at 8. I liked it so I put it on my page. Feel free to put it on your page and modify it if you wish.

== Notes about the TCG templates ==

Where to start. The links for the Trainer cards you were adding were incorrect. First off, they are fine the way they are. However, if you were to change them, you'd need to change the TCG Template to the TCG ID template, and also add the number to the end of the template. <nowiki>{{TCG ID|Rising Rivals|Bebe's Search|89}}</nowiki>. The link has to link to the redirect of the most appropriate release for that card. A deck from 2005 can't be using a 2011 release of Rare Candy, now can it? No. That's why the links are the way they are. Additionally, I think the reason your link to {{TCG|Stormfront}} wasn't working was because you were trying to spell it "StormFront"? None of the sets are CamelCase.

{{TCG|Mother Flygon}} has the outdated template for a separate reason. It's a deck archetype, which are outdated because of how the formats and set rotations work in the TCG. When you add the template to Theme Decks, you need to specify the [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Mind_Machine_%28TCG%29&action=historysubmit&diff=1605834&oldid=1605814 type of Trainer card the cards are]. Also, if you do the GB Decks, use the template used on {{TCG|Great Quake Deck}}, not the one for theme decks. They are different. ''[[User:Maverick Nate|'''Maverick''']][[User talk:Maverick Nate|'''Nate''']]'' 20:01, 18 February 2012 (UTC)
: Ah, that makes more sense to me. I saw them and didn't add a number as they were lacking them originally. As for Stormfront, I spelled it as Stormfront and still got a red link, not sure why it was doing so. Alright then, will be sure to do the decks from the Pokemon GBC game in that format. Thanks for showing me what went wrong with editing. [[User:Frozen Fennec|Frozen Fennec]] 20:05, 18 February 2012 (UTC)
::Thought I would ask before editing the pages. If I use the Great Quake Deck as a base template for the other decks in that game then the level part is no longer necessary is it? [[User:Frozen Fennec|Frozen Fennec]] 03:20, 19 February 2012 (UTC)
:::Correct. ''[[User:Maverick Nate|'''Maverick''']][[User talk:Maverick Nate|'''Nate''']]'' 07:27, 19 February 2012 (UTC)

== Thanks! ==

Thanks!I'm not good at making paragraphs.Btw,Pokémon must always start with capital letter?--[[User:DJWolfy|--'''DJ''']][[User talk:DJWolfy|'''Wolfy''']] 15:25, 20 February 2012 (UTC)
:Paragraph writing is easy. Just make sure to try writing them like this.And not like this. When starting a new sentence, hit the space button then write so the words and all aren't scrunched together. As for paragraphing. I try to keep count of how many I've written so far. When I get 6-7 written. I hit enter twice and start a new paragraph so it won't end up as a wall of text. Lastly, yea, Pokémon is always capitalized. Hope that helps. :-) [[User:Frozen Fennec|Frozen Fennec]] 15:32, 20 February 2012 (UTC)

::It sure does,thanks!--[[User:DJWolfy|--'''DJ''']][[User talk:DJWolfy|'''Wolfy''']] 20:06, 20 February 2012 (UTC)

:::Gee,we should make a team :p. I complete synopsis while you correct and paragraph them. Anyways thanks for the minor correction. Although I found the original word was in this context "then they are mistaken for".--[[User:DJWolfy|--'''DJ''']][[User talk:DJWolfy|'''Wolfy''']] 21:38, 20 February 2012 (UTC)
::::Haha, maybe but I have better things to do than trying to fix mistakes all day. Going to go back to updating TCG deck pages now. Fun time. :-) Nice signature too, might try to make my own sometime when I give my user page a new look or something. [[User:Frozen Fennec|Frozen Fennec]] 21:40, 20 February 2012 (UTC)

== Obvious ==

That's pretty obvious,plus it's the same for almost all legendaries.
ex: normal and shiny [[legendary beasts|beasts]], Lugia and her baby, regis in M09 and brandon's regis etc. so I don't really see the point in keeping it. Plus the other "in the anime" section of other legendaries don't mention the game thing.--[[User:DJWolfy|--'''DJ''']][[User talk:DJWolfy|'''Wolfy''']] 15:39, 2 March 2012 (UTC)
: I left it since in the movie it was shown to be able to breed. The only other legendary Pokémon I've seen capable of breeding or more than one of is Lugia, Regis, Celebi, Mew, and Deoxys. Don't think I've seen any of the other legendaries having more than one of themselves especially Mewtwo who is a one of ak ind along with others. ''[[User:Frozen Fennec|Frozen]] [[User talk:Frozen Fennec|Fennec]]'' 15:42, 2 March 2012 (UTC)
::Yeah,that's why I said for almost all. Of course you won't see Arceus twice cause it's the original one or mewtwo since it is itself a human creation. But usually 580-600 stat legendaries are more than one. That's why I think it isn't necessary for "the game" thing to be on Latias' page. Also the same thing it is already mentioned on their page "In all but one of the games, there appears to only be one of each legendary Pokémon, but in the anime, there is more than one of most legendary Pokémon. This may just mean that the creators of the game intended the player to only ever happen to meet one of them canonically, and in fact there are others elsewhere which the player does not encounter." {{unsigned|DJWolfy}}
:::I see now, kind of strayed away from what you were saying. I'll fix that up on that page then real quickly. :) ''[[User:Frozen Fennec|Frozen]] [[User talk:Frozen Fennec|Fennec]]'' 15:51, 2 March 2012 (UTC)

== M1 talk page undo ==

The Talk page policy states not to respond to messages older than 6 months UNLESS you have valid reason to do so. I had a valid reason to revive the discussion. [[User:Yamitora1|Yamitora1]] 18:07, 6 March 2012 (UTC)
:''Generally old comments over six months old should not be revived, however, if there is a legitimate reason to bring it up again, please do so. '' From the FAQ. Having watched the movie myself a couple of weeks back, he felt this his clones were much better and was going to clone all the Pokémon currently there and storm the world with the clones. You can disagree if you wish though, not saying I'm absolutely right but I feel that's what he was up to when he did what he did in the first movie. ''[[User:Frozen Fennec|Frozen]] [[User talk:Frozen Fennec|Fennec]]'' 18:19, 6 March 2012 (UTC)
::I have it stored on my pc in flv format and saw it today.

::After Ash's Charizard was defeated, Mewtwo materialized 3 of his clone balls saying "As the victor, I now claim my prize, your Pokémon!" He then captures Ash's Charizard, Shellshocker and Bruteroot in that order. Misty asks "What are you going to do with those Pokémon!?" Mewtwo responds "I will extract their DNA to make clones for myself! They will remain safe on this island with me, while my storm destroys the planet" This is before he materialized more clone balls and Psychic Ash into Brock. He then sends the swarm after everyone as ash and the others try to make a break for it.

::Although Mewtwo hadn't cloned Ash's Charizard, Shellshocker or Bruteroot in that instance, he made it clear he planned to later as far as the English dub is concerned. That is what I relayed in the revival comment. Plus I'm not the only one to post on it way after 6 months.

::::Theoretically, Mewtwo would also need the extra DNA from Ash's Charizard, Shellshocker and Bruteroot to sustain a healthy population of his clones. While where he obtained the genetics for the first Charizardtwo, Blastoisetwo and Venusaurtwo is speculation, most agree it was somehow from Charmandertwo, Squirtletwo and Bulbasaurtwo, despite them dying & Mewtwo destroying the lab and any possible surviving genetic samples directly or indirectly. In any case, while he successfully cloned them, even somehow evolved them, it was indicated that there were many problems during the first cloning procedures/processes because the kept dying. This leads the viewer to believe there is some kind of genetic defect to cause this deterioration. Plus out of all the clones, these three had the most drastically different markings which are also speculated to be from defects in the genetics. So no mater what, its a good bet Mewtwo needed and would use the DNA sooner if not later. [[User:Yamitora1|Yamitora1]] 19:23, 6 March 2012 (UTC)
:::::I see what you are saying there. However did it look like he was using the stuff right away and the clones looked close to perfect so maybe he made a near perfected system from the rubble he left on the island after destroying it. That and they were shown to be able to breed in the second movie that he was in, albeit they were in final forms or current stage of their evolution line rather than starter/baby forms. ''[[User:Frozen Fennec|Frozen]] [[User talk:Frozen Fennec|Fennec]]'' 19:30, 6 March 2012 (UTC)
::::::Unfortunately Ash destroyed the machine before anything else was crested. The last clones were just barely out of incubation before everything blew up. We have to go by Mewtwo's actions of capturing Ash's Charizard, Shellshocker and Bruteroot in the first place to indicate his future plans for them and their genetics. Mewtwo is theatrical, but I doubt he'd just capture three Pokémon for their genetics for no reason. [[User:Yamitora1|Yamitora1]] 20:02, 6 March 2012 (UTC)

I found a similar piece of work on the Johto League trivia section and I saw that the opposite applied to the Kanto League gym leaders so I thought I'd edit the Kanto League page as well. Was there a problem? [[User:Arceus101|Arceus101]] 22:19, 13 March 2012 (UTC)
:Saying all the gym leaders have a type disadvantage to the next one. By this I would assume that the next gym leader has a type that is super-effective to the previous gym leader except Brock as there is no gym leader battled before him. A couple of them said resistant, not really the same sound to me as the previous gym leader being weak to the next one.

== Move descriptions ==

Hi, I realize you're not really part of any Bulbapedia project, but since you seem to be working the descriptions for the 3D games, could you also point me to moves that are missing descriptions from the main series games (specifically GSC, RSE, and DPPt)? I'll be able to work on retrieving them if I need to. Thanks. Cheers, [[User:Haxorus|'''Hax''']][[User talk:Haxorus|'''or''']][[Special:MyContributions|'''us''']] 08:35, 14 March 2012 (UTC)

== Walkthrough Rival Boxes ==

I noticed you adjusted the formatting on the Rival's Pokémon boxes on [[Appendix:Emerald_walkthrough/Section_4#Route_110|Emerald Walkthrough (Section 4)]] a few days ago. According to the [[Bulbapedia:Project_Walkthroughs#The_rival|Project Walkthroughs]] page, formatting on Rivals' Pokémon should be ''horizontal'', not ''vertical'', even though it extends out beyond the screen. I like it the other way, but that's the policy. - [[User:Poikins|poikins]] 00:28, 16 March 2012 (UTC)

==Question==
Heya, where else would I put that question? I wanted to sort the pokes into columns by EV, but everything I try ends up a mess. The whole template thing is so confusing. would there have to be a seperate template for rows where there was empty spots before the pokes? {{unsigned|Saiph charon}}
:Feel free to add it down on a new section but don't add it to some other section on a talk page unless having something to add to it.

== Registeel ==

Sorry, but how is [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Registeel_(Pokémon)&curid=2649&diff=1700623&oldid=1700622 the previous revision "better worded"]? Contractions are informal and shouldn't be used in formal writing such as the Bulbapedia mainspace. I can understand the repetition of "the legendary golems" not being quite optimal (although something other than the super-informal "Regis" still needs to be used), but there was no need to revert the contractions back in, was there? [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 23:52, 11 June 2012 (UTC)
:Actually, as I was taught, informal language is text speaking or how one would talk to another on a cell phone usually spelling things incorrectly. Regis is also formal since the Regis are called, legendary golems, Regi trio, or simply Regis. If the contraction was something like ''they'll'' or ''ain't'' I could understand since those would be informal. As it is, ''it's'' is quite common to use and very formal. Hope that helps you understand a little bit. ''[[User:Frozen Fennec|Frozen]] [[User talk:Frozen Fennec|Fennec]]'' 23:58, 11 June 2012 (UTC)
::If you insist, I'll let it go your way, but I'm afraid I have to respectfully disagree for the moment. I've always been taught that no contractions are ''ever'' considered formal - I've even seen "it's" -> "it is" used in examples in textbooks [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:CONTRACTIONS and even Wikipedia]. (As for "Regis", as fanon-y as that term sounds, our own article apparently uses it, so I guess I have to grin and bear it. I won't mention it again.) [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 00:55, 12 June 2012 (UTC)
:::Well, nice to see differences are put aside on the Regi part, as for the "it is" and "it's" thing. I suppose we were simply taught about them differently.

==Reshiram==

Also, that stuff I added about Reshiram is nessisary. It talks about why it is called "Fusion" in the first place, so you can mix it up with another attack. Matt D. A smart man 22:07, 16 June 2012 (UTC)

== TCG move errors. ==

It's rather not good idea listing moves that didn't exist yet. For example, few {{p|Ampharos}} cards had Bolt Strike if I remember (but under different English name) on them. Didn't add that, the move wasn't in games until three generations and almost eleven years later{{tt|*|Confusion translated as Psyshock is another story, though.}} - I also fixed table (there was redundant |- everywhere). [[User:Marked +-+-+|Marked +-+-+]] ([[User talk:Marked +-+-+|talk]]) 15:37, 22 March 2013 (UTC)
:I [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Whitney%27s_Lickitung_%28VS_17%29&diff=1867653&oldid=1867375 had just removed this trivia] not more than six hours before you added it again.
:Furthermore, our database is not ready to be doing [[TCG move errors|this page]], and I'm rather disappointed and annoyed that no one decided to contact the {{u|Maverick Nate|Head of TCG}} before attempting this page to make sure we were ready, or if plans weren't already being done. Any work on it right now is futile, because not all the card pages even exist, let alone have correct information regarding the cards' moves. There are several things that needed to happen before this page could have been started correctly. 1) A more appropriate table needed to be created. 2) All the origin sections needed to be double checked to remove speculation and false information. 3) TCG sections for all moves, abilities, Warrior skills, etc needed to be created (which can't even be completed until Bulbapedia's search gets repaired). 4) [[Error cards]] need to be researched and a system for classifying errors needs to be developed. After these four things are finished, then we would have been able to start work on [[TCG move errors]]. This page is not going to exist in the end. It is going to be an extremely condensed sub section of the Error cards page. Next time you try to work on such an extremely large TCG undertaking, please ''talk'' to me so that we can at least develop a system for 100% completion and accuracy, because I don't like having to undo someone's work everytime you decided to add an inappropriate trivia: like [[Whitney's Lickitung (VS 17)|this Pokémon]] knowing {{m|Lick}} (したでなめる) when it actually knows Lick (なめる), or {{TCG ID|Vending|Pidgeotto|S3}} knowing {{m|Twister}} (たつまき) when it actually knows Twister (ツイスター), OR {{TCG ID|Gym Heroes|Brock's Golbat|39}} knowing {{m|Dive}} (ダイビング) when it actually knows "Dive" (スピードひこう) (later translated as Speed Dive). The inappropriate trivias will only exist simply because there is a rift between accuracy, what needs to be said, and what exactly is going on with the cards
:There are a lot of things that needed to happen first, specifically with finalizing what needs to be said in each card's origin section. Talk to me first next time, so that we can work on things ''together''. It's hard for me to keep track of 8000 cards when tons of people decide to do their own thing without talking to me at all. I apologize if I sound a bit harsh: I'm just highly disappointed, and want everything to be as great as possible, which I just don't think is possible with this page at this moment based on the state in which the rest of our TCG database is.

::Did not realize it was that big of an error on my part creating the page.
::First, the only reason I had |- in between card entries was to make it easier to see where one card began and ended at. Aside from that, they served no other purpose.

::As for the TCG Error page being created. I started that one upon noticing that the Error moves template {{template|Move errors}} had a red link for the TCG link. I didn't think there was any harm in adding the page at the time. As for fixing up the template being used on that page as a whole, I would be more than happy to wait on that to happen before working on the page again. Also if it is only meant to be a sub section of the [[Error cards|error cards]] page then I have no problem with going through and removing the images themselves so they consume less space on the page. As for taking it up with you (Head of TCG) next time, I will be more than happy to do so.

::Lastly,
::1. What kind of table would be appropriate in this case?
::2. Removing false information and speculation, I will do my best in regards to both of those.
::3. I can understand the first part. My question, how is the search broken at the moment? Not doubting you, just curious as to how it's broken.
::4. Understood.

::I don't mind it sounding harsh, I'd rather be alerted I am doing something wrong than not being told at you. Thanks for letting me know about this.

== Redlinks ==

Do NOT. I repeat, do NOT remove redlinks to pages that should actually exist, no matter what space they are linked from. Just because a page is linked to from a talk page does not mean it is suddenly not notable enough to be put on the wanted pages. There are multiple times that users are discussing pages that should be created and link to them appropriately. Assess what the subject actually is before blindly removing links based on where they are coming from. Redlinks should exist due to '''content''', not '''location'''.

I just wanted to make you aware that the staff here prefer .png images instead of .jpg. I'm telling you this cause the image you uploaded of the [[Poké Spot Monitor]] was a .jpg. Just thought I'd let you know so if the file was deleted, you'd know why. :D Also you can upload a new version of a file without uploading an entirely new file. At the bottom of an image page, it should say "Upload a new version of this image" or something of the sort.

You can't remove something because "It is already in the infobox". The infobox is a supplement to the article. It helps summarize it in a way.

[http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=The_Art_Of_Pok%C3%A9mon_The_First_Movie&diff=1603387&oldid=1603193 I'd prefer not to have to do this again.] Also, make sure you're spelling a Pokémon's name correctly. You misspelled Marill throughout that entire article.

== Trivia Question ==

Hello there fellow Bulbapedian.
I see you haven't answered my e-mail so I'm just going to write you here.
Well why do you say that the trivia I wrote on [[AG159]] isn't trivia material ?
It isn't common for Team Rocket to blast such different,is it?
--'''DJWolfy'''. 13:57, 16 February 2012 (UTC)
: As far as trivia gos, I don't really see how it is important enough to go there. Then again I'm mostly collecting the cards, some books, and just playing the games. I really should consider watching the show more often though. If you feel it is important then feel free to add it again. If a sysop/admin removes it though, don't re-add it as that just results in edit wars clogging up recent changes. Have a great day. [[User:Frozen Fennec|Frozen Fennec]] 21:04, 16 February 2012 (UTC)

== Notes about the TCG templates ==

Where to start. The links for the Trainer cards you were adding were incorrect. First off, they are fine the way they are. However, if you were to change them, you'd need to change the TCG Template to the TCG ID template, and also add the number to the end of the template. <nowiki>{{TCG ID|Rising Rivals|Bebe's Search|89}}</nowiki>. The link has to link to the redirect of the most appropriate release for that card. A deck from 2005 can't be using a 2011 release of Rare Candy, now can it? No. That's why the links are the way they are. Additionally, I think the reason your link to {{TCG|Stormfront}} wasn't working was because you were trying to spell it "StormFront"? None of the sets are CamelCase.

{{TCG|Mother Flygon}} has the outdated template for a separate reason. It's a deck archetype, which are outdated because of how the formats and set rotations work in the TCG. When you add the template to Theme Decks, you need to specify the [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Mind_Machine_%28TCG%29&action=historysubmit&diff=1605834&oldid=1605814 type of Trainer card the cards are]. Also, if you do the GB Decks, use the template used on {{TCG|Great Quake Deck}}, not the one for theme decks. They are different. ''[[User:Maverick Nate|'''Maverick''']][[User talk:Maverick Nate|'''Nate''']]'' 20:01, 18 February 2012 (UTC)
: Ah, that makes more sense to me. I saw them and didn't add a number as they were lacking them originally. As for Stormfront, I spelled it as Stormfront and still got a red link, not sure why it was doing so. Alright then, will be sure to do the decks from the Pokemon GBC game in that format. Thanks for showing me what went wrong with editing. [[User:Frozen Fennec|Frozen Fennec]] 20:05, 18 February 2012 (UTC)
::Thought I would ask before editing the pages. If I use the Great Quake Deck as a base template for the other decks in that game then the level part is no longer necessary is it? [[User:Frozen Fennec|Frozen Fennec]] 03:20, 19 February 2012 (UTC)
:::Correct. ''[[User:Maverick Nate|'''Maverick''']][[User talk:Maverick Nate|'''Nate''']]'' 07:27, 19 February 2012 (UTC)

== Thanks! ==

:Paragraph writing is easy. Just make sure to try writing them like this.And not like this. When starting a new sentence, hit the space button then write so the words and all aren't scrunched together. As for paragraphing. I try to keep count of how many I've written so far. When I get 6-7 written. I hit enter twice and start a new paragraph so it won't end up as a wall of text. Lastly, yea, Pokémon is always capitalized. Hope that helps. :-) [[User:Frozen Fennec|Frozen Fennec]] 15:32, 20 February 2012 (UTC)

== Obvious ==

That's pretty obvious,plus it's the same for almost all legendaries.
ex: normal and shiny [[legendary beasts|beasts]], Lugia and her baby, regis in M09 and brandon's regis etc. so I don't really see the point in keeping it. Plus the other "in the anime" section of other legendaries don't mention the game thing.--[[User:DJWolfy|--'''DJ''']][[User talk:DJWolfy|'''Wolfy''']] 15:39, 2 March 2012 (UTC)
: I left it since in the movie it was shown to be able to breed. The only other legendary Pokémon I've seen capable of breeding or more than one of is Lugia, Regis, Celebi, Mew, and Deoxys. Don't think I've seen any of the other legendaries having more than one of themselves especially Mewtwo who is a one of ak ind along with others. ''[[User:Frozen Fennec|Frozen]] [[User talk:Frozen Fennec|Fennec]]'' 15:42, 2 March 2012 (UTC)
::Yeah,that's why I said for almost all. Of course you won't see Arceus twice cause it's the original one or mewtwo since it is itself a human creation. But usually 580-600 stat legendaries are more than one. That's why I think it isn't necessary for "the game" thing to be on Latias' page. Also the same thing it is already mentioned on their page "In all but one of the games, there appears to only be one of each legendary Pokémon, but in the anime, there is more than one of most legendary Pokémon. This may just mean that the creators of the game intended the player to only ever happen to meet one of them canonically, and in fact there are others elsewhere which the player does not encounter." {{unsigned|DJWolfy}}

Having watched the movie myself a couple of weeks back, he felt this his clones were much better and was going to clone all the Pokémon currently there and storm the world with the clones. You can disagree if you wish though, not saying I'm absolutely right but I feel that's what he was up to when he did what he did in the first movie.

::I have it stored on my pc in flv format and saw it today.

::After Ash's Charizard was defeated, Mewtwo materialized 3 of his clone balls saying "As the victor, I now claim my prize, your Pokémon!" He then captures Ash's Charizard, Shellshocker and Bruteroot in that order. Misty asks "What are you going to do with those Pokémon!?" Mewtwo responds "I will extract their DNA to make clones for myself! They will remain safe on this island with me, while my storm destroys the planet" This is before he materialized more clone balls and Psychic Ash into Brock. He then sends the swarm after everyone as ash and the others try to make a break for it.

::Although Mewtwo hadn't cloned Ash's Charizard, Shellshocker or Bruteroot in that instance, he made it clear he planned to later as far as the English dub is concerned. That is what I relayed in the revival comment. Plus I'm not the only one to post on it way after 6 months.

::::Theoretically, Mewtwo would also need the extra DNA from Ash's Charizard, Shellshocker and Bruteroot to sustain a healthy population of his clones. While where he obtained the genetics for the first Charizardtwo, Blastoisetwo and Venusaurtwo is speculation, most agree it was somehow from Charmandertwo, Squirtletwo and Bulbasaurtwo, despite them dying & Mewtwo destroying the lab and any possible surviving genetic samples directly or indirectly. In any case, while he successfully cloned them, even somehow evolved them, it was indicated that there were many problems during the first cloning procedures/processes because the kept dying. This leads the viewer to believe there is some kind of genetic defect to cause this deterioration. Plus out of all the clones, these three had the most drastically different markings which are also speculated to be from defects in the genetics. So no mater what, its a good bet Mewtwo needed and would use the DNA sooner if not later. [[User:Yamitora1|Yamitora1]] 19:23, 6 March 2012 (UTC)
:::::I see what you are saying there. However did it look like he was using the stuff right away and the clones looked close to perfect so maybe he made a near perfected system from the rubble he left on the island after destroying it. That and they were shown to be able to breed in the second movie that he was in, albeit they were in final forms or current stage of their evolution line rather than starter/baby forms. ''[[User:Frozen Fennec|Frozen]] [[User talk:Frozen Fennec|Fennec]]'' 19:30, 6 March 2012 (UTC)
::::::Unfortunately Ash destroyed the machine before anything else was crested. The last clones were just barely out of incubation before everything blew up. We have to go by Mewtwo's actions of capturing Ash's Charizard, Shellshocker and Bruteroot in the first place to indicate his future plans for them and their genetics. Mewtwo is theatrical, but I doubt he'd just capture three Pokémon for their genetics for no reason. [[User:Yamitora1|Yamitora1]] 20:02, 6 March 2012 (UTC)

Contractions are informal and shouldn't be used in formal writing such as the Bulbapedia mainspace. I can understand the repetition of "the legendary golems" not being quite optimal (although something other than the super-informal "Regis" still needs to be used), but there was no need to revert the contractions back in, was there? [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 23:52, 11 June 2012 (UTC)
:Actually, as I was taught, informal language is text speaking or how one would talk to another on a cell phone usually spelling things incorrectly. Regis is also formal since the Regis are called, legendary golems, Regi trio, or simply Regis. If the contraction was something like ''they'll'' or ''ain't'' I could understand since those would be informal. As it is, ''it's'' is quite common to use and very formal. Hope that helps you understand a little bit. ''[[User:Frozen Fennec|Frozen]] [[User talk:Frozen Fennec|Fennec]]'' 23:58, 11 June 2012 (UTC)
::If you insist, I'll let it go your way, but I'm afraid I have to respectfully disagree for the moment.

==User Page Template==

Hi there! You were the one who welcomed me to Bulbapedia. :-) Remember me?

Anyways, I recently got the privilege to edit my user space. I was wondering if I could use the template you used for your user page. I don't want to take it without permission.

== TCG move errors. ==

It's rather not good idea listing moves that didn't exist yet. For example, few {{p|Ampharos}} cards had Bolt Strike if I remember (but under different English name) on them. Didn't add that, the move wasn't in games until three generations and almost eleven years later{{tt|*|Confusion translated as Psyshock is another story, though.}} - I also fixed table (there was redundant |- everywhere). [[User:Marked +-+-+|Marked +-+-+]] ([[User talk:Marked +-+-+|talk]]) 15:37, 22 March 2013 (UTC)
:I [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Whitney%27s_Lickitung_%28VS_17%29&diff=1867653&oldid=1867375 had just removed this trivia] not more than six hours before you added it again.
:Furthermore, our database is not ready to be doing [[TCG move errors|this page]], and I'm rather disappointed and annoyed that no one decided to contact the {{u|Maverick Nate|Head of TCG}} before attempting this page to make sure we were ready, or if plans weren't already being done. Any work on it right now is futile, because not all the card pages even exist, let alone have correct information regarding the cards' moves. There are several things that needed to happen before this page could have been started correctly. 1) A more appropriate table needed to be created. 2) All the origin sections needed to be double checked to remove speculation and false information. 3) TCG sections for all moves, abilities, Warrior skills, etc needed to be created (which can't even be completed until Bulbapedia's search gets repaired). 4) [[Error cards]] need to be researched and a system for classifying errors needs to be developed. After these four things are finished, then we would have been able to start work on [[TCG move errors]]. This page is not going to exist in the end. It is going to be an extremely condensed sub section of the Error cards page. Next time you try to work on such an extremely large TCG undertaking, please ''talk'' to me so that we can at least develop a system for 100% completion and accuracy, because I don't like having to undo someone's work everytime you decided to add an inappropriate trivia: like [[Whitney's Lickitung (VS 17)|this Pokémon]] knowing {{m|Lick}} (したでなめる) when it actually knows Lick (なめる), or {{TCG ID|Vending|Pidgeotto|S3}} knowing {{m|Twister}} (たつまき) when it actually knows Twister (ツイスター), OR {{TCG ID|Gym Heroes|Brock's Golbat|39}} knowing {{m|Dive}} (ダイビング) when it actually knows "Dive" (スピードひこう) (later translated as Speed Dive). The inappropriate trivias will only exist simply because there is a rift between accuracy, what needs to be said, and what exactly is going on with the cards
:There are a lot of things that needed to happen first, specifically with finalizing what needs to be said in each card's origin section. Talk to me first next time, so that we can work on things ''together''. It's hard for me to keep track of 8000 cards when tons of people decide to do their own thing without talking to me at all. I apologize if I sound a bit harsh: I'm just highly disappointed, and want everything to be as great as possible, which I just don't think is possible with this page at this moment based on the state in which the rest of our TCG database is.

::Did not realize it was that big of an error on my part creating the page.
::First, the only reason I had |- in between card entries was to make it easier to see where one card began and ended at. Aside from that, they served no other purpose.

::As for the TCG Error page being created. I started that one upon noticing that the Error moves template {{template|Move errors}} had a red link for the TCG link. I didn't think there was any harm in adding the page at the time. As for fixing up the template being used on that page as a whole, I would be more than happy to wait on that to happen before working on the page again. Also if it is only meant to be a sub section of the [[Error cards|error cards]] page then I have no problem with going through and removing the images themselves so they consume less space on the page. As for taking it up with you (Head of TCG) next time, I will be more than happy to do so.

::Lastly,
::1. What kind of table would be appropriate in this case?
::2. Removing false information and speculation, I will do my best in regards to both of those.
::3. I can understand the first part. My question, how is the search broken at the moment? Not doubting you, just curious as to how it's broken.
::4. Understood.

== Redlinks ==

Do NOT. I repeat, do NOT remove redlinks to pages that should actually exist, no matter what space they are linked from. Just because a page is linked to from a talk page does not mean it is suddenly not notable enough to be put on the wanted pages. There are multiple times that users are discussing pages that should be created and link to them appropriately. Assess what the subject actually is before blindly removing links based on where they are coming from. Redlinks should exist due to '''content''', not '''location'''.

== Notes about the TCG templates ==

Where to start. The links for the Trainer cards you were adding were incorrect. First off, they are fine the way they are. However, if you were to change them, you'd need to change the TCG Template to the TCG ID template, and also add the number to the end of the template. <nowiki>{{TCG ID|Rising Rivals|Bebe's Search|89}}</nowiki>. The link has to link to the redirect of the most appropriate release for that card. A deck from 2005 can't be using a 2011 release of Rare Candy, now can it? No. That's why the links are the way they are. Additionally, I think the reason your link to {{TCG|Stormfront}} wasn't working was because you were trying to spell it "StormFront"? None of the sets are CamelCase.

{{TCG|Mother Flygon}} has the outdated template for a separate reason. It's a deck archetype, which are outdated because of how the formats and set rotations work in the TCG. When you add the template to Theme Decks, you need to specify the [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Mind_Machine_%28TCG%29&action=historysubmit&diff=1605834&oldid=1605814 type of Trainer card the cards are]. Also, if you do the GB Decks, use the template used on {{TCG|Great Quake Deck}}, not the one for theme decks. They are different. ''[[User:Maverick Nate|'''Maverick''']][[User talk:Maverick Nate|'''Nate''']]'' 20:01, 18 February 2012 (UTC)
: Ah, that makes more sense to me. I saw them and didn't add a number as they were lacking them originally. As for Stormfront, I spelled it as Stormfront and still got a red link, not sure why it was doing so. Alright then, will be sure to do the decks from the Pokemon GBC game in that format. Thanks for showing me what went wrong with editing. [[User:Frozen Fennec|Frozen Fennec]] 20:05, 18 February 2012 (UTC)
::Thought I would ask before editing the pages. If I use the Great Quake Deck as a base template for the other decks in that game then the level part is no longer necessary is it? [[User:Frozen Fennec|Frozen Fennec]] 03:20, 19 February 2012 (UTC)
:::Correct. ''[[User:Maverick Nate|'''Maverick''']][[User talk:Maverick Nate|'''Nate''']]'' 07:27, 19 February 2012 (UTC)

== Obvious ==

That's pretty obvious,plus it's the same for almost all legendaries.
ex: normal and shiny [[legendary beasts|beasts]], Lugia and her baby, regis in M09 and brandon's regis etc. so I don't really see the point in keeping it. Plus the other "in the anime" section of other legendaries don't mention the game thing.--[[User:DJWolfy|--'''DJ''']][[User talk:DJWolfy|'''Wolfy''']] 15:39, 2 March 2012 (UTC)
: I left it since in the movie it was shown to be able to breed. The only other legendary Pokémon I've seen capable of breeding or more than one of is Lugia, Regis, Celebi, Mew, and Deoxys. Don't think I've seen any of the other legendaries having more than one of themselves especially Mewtwo who is a one of ak ind along with others. ''[[User:Frozen Fennec|Frozen]] [[User talk:Frozen Fennec|Fennec]]'' 15:42, 2 March 2012 (UTC)
::Yeah,that's why I said for almost all. Of course you won't see Arceus twice cause it's the original one or mewtwo since it is itself a human creation. But usually 580-600 stat legendaries are more than one. That's why I think it isn't necessary for "the game" thing to be on Latias' page. Also the same thing it is already mentioned on their page "In all but one of the games, there appears to only be one of each legendary Pokémon, but in the anime, there is more than one of most legendary Pokémon. This may just mean that the creators of the game intended the player to only ever happen to meet one of them canonically, and in fact there are others elsewhere which the player does not encounter." {{unsigned|DJWolfy}}

::I have it stored on my pc in flv format and saw it today.

::After Ash's Charizard was defeated, Mewtwo materialized 3 of his clone balls saying "As the victor, I now claim my prize, your Pokémon!" He then captures Ash's Charizard, Shellshocker and Bruteroot in that order. Misty asks "What are you going to do with those Pokémon!?" Mewtwo responds "I will extract their DNA to make clones for myself! They will remain safe on this island with me, while my storm destroys the planet" This is before he materialized more clone balls and Psychic Ash into Brock. He then sends the swarm after everyone as ash and the others try to make a break for it.

::Although Mewtwo hadn't cloned Ash's Charizard, Shellshocker or Bruteroot in that instance, he made it clear he planned to later as far as the English dub is concerned. That is what I relayed in the revival comment. Plus I'm not the only one to post on it way after 6 months.

::::Theoretically, Mewtwo would also need the extra DNA from Ash's Charizard, Shellshocker and Bruteroot to sustain a healthy population of his clones. While where he obtained the genetics for the first Charizardtwo, Blastoisetwo and Venusaurtwo is speculation, most agree it was somehow from Charmandertwo, Squirtletwo and Bulbasaurtwo, despite them dying & Mewtwo destroying the lab and any possible surviving genetic samples directly or indirectly. In any case, while he successfully cloned them, even somehow evolved them, it was indicated that there were many problems during the first cloning procedures/processes because the kept dying. This leads the viewer to believe there is some kind of genetic defect to cause this deterioration. Plus out of all the clones, these three had the most drastically different markings which are also speculated to be from defects in the genetics. So no mater what, its a good bet Mewtwo needed and would use the DNA sooner if not later. [[User:Yamitora1|Yamitora1]] 19:23, 6 March 2012 (UTC)
:::::I see what you are saying there. However did it look like he was using the stuff right away and the clones looked close to perfect so maybe he made a near perfected system from the rubble he left on the island after destroying it. That and they were shown to be able to breed in the second movie that he was in, albeit they were in final forms or current stage of their evolution line rather than starter/baby forms.

::::::Unfortunately Ash destroyed the machine before anything else was crested. The last clones were just barely out of incubation before everything blew up. We have to go by Mewtwo's actions of capturing Ash's Charizard, Shellshocker and Bruteroot in the first place to indicate his future plans for them and their genetics. Mewtwo is theatrical, but I doubt he'd just capture three Pokémon for their genetics for no reason. [[User:Yamitora1|Yamitora1]] 20:02, 6 March 2012 (UTC)

Contractions are informal and shouldn't be used in formal writing such as the Bulbapedia mainspace. I can understand the repetition of "the legendary golems" not being quite optimal (although something other than the super-informal "Regis" still needs to be used), but there was no need to revert the contractions back in, was there? [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 23:52, 11 June 2012 (UTC)
:Actually, as I was taught, informal language is text speaking or how one would talk to another on a cell phone usually spelling things incorrectly. Regis is also formal since the Regis are called, legendary golems, Regi trio, or simply Regis. If the contraction was something like ''they'll'' or ''ain't'' I could understand since those would be informal. As it is, ''it's'' is quite common to use and very formal.

::If you insist, I'll let it go your way, but I'm afraid I have to respectfully disagree for the moment.

:I [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Whitney%27s_Lickitung_%28VS_17%29&diff=1867653&oldid=1867375 had just removed this trivia] not more than six hours before you added it again.
:Furthermore, our database is not ready to be doing [[TCG move errors|this page]], and I'm rather disappointed and annoyed that no one decided to contact the {{u|Maverick Nate|Head of TCG}} before attempting this page to make sure we were ready, or if plans weren't already being done. Any work on it right now is futile, because not all the card pages even exist, let alone have correct information regarding the cards' moves. There are several things that needed to happen before this page could have been started correctly. 1) A more appropriate table needed to be created. 2) All the origin sections needed to be double checked to remove speculation and false information. 3) TCG sections for all moves, abilities, Warrior skills, etc needed to be created (which can't even be completed until Bulbapedia's search gets repaired). 4) [[Error cards]] need to be researched and a system for classifying errors needs to be developed. After these four things are finished, then we would have been able to start work on [[TCG move errors]]. This page is not going to exist in the end. It is going to be an extremely condensed sub section of the Error cards page. Next time you try to work on such an extremely large TCG undertaking, please ''talk'' to me so that we can at least develop a system for 100% completion and accuracy, because I don't like having to undo someone's work everytime you decided to add an inappropriate trivia: like [[Whitney's Lickitung (VS 17)|this Pokémon]] knowing {{m|Lick}} (したでなめる) when it actually knows Lick (なめる), or {{TCG ID|Vending|Pidgeotto|S3}} knowing {{m|Twister}} (たつまき) when it actually knows Twister (ツイスター), OR {{TCG ID|Gym Heroes|Brock's Golbat|39}} knowing {{m|Dive}} (ダイビング) when it actually knows "Dive" (スピードひこう) (later translated as Speed Dive). The inappropriate trivias will only exist simply because there is a rift between accuracy, what needs to be said, and what exactly is going on with the cards
:There are a lot of things that needed to happen first, specifically with finalizing what needs to be said in each card's origin section. Talk to me first next time, so that we can work on things ''together''. It's hard for me to keep track of 8000 cards when tons of people decide to do their own thing without talking to me at all. I apologize if I sound a bit harsh: I'm just highly disappointed, and want everything to be as great as possible, which I just don't think is possible with this page at this moment based on the state in which the rest of our TCG database is.

::Did not realize it was that big of an error on my part creating the page.
::First, the only reason I had |- in between card entries was to make it easier to see where one card began and ended at. Aside from that, they served no other purpose.

::As for the TCG Error page being created. I started that one upon noticing that the Error moves template {{template|Move errors}} had a red link for the TCG link. I didn't think there was any harm in adding the page at the time. As for fixing up the template being used on that page as a whole, I would be more than happy to wait on that to happen before working on the page again. Also if it is only meant to be a sub section of the [[Error cards|error cards]] page then I have no problem with going through and removing the images themselves so they consume less space on the page. As for taking it up with you (Head of TCG) next time, I will be more than happy to do so.

::Lastly,
::1. What kind of table would be appropriate in this case?
::2. Removing false information and speculation, I will do my best in regards to both of those.
::3. I can understand the first part. My question, how is the search broken at the moment? Not doubting you, just curious as to how it's broken.
::4. Understood.

::I don't mind it sounding harsh, I'd rather be alerted I am doing something wrong than not being told at you. Thanks for letting me know about this.

== Redlinks ==

Do NOT. I repeat, do NOT remove redlinks to pages that should actually exist, no matter what space they are linked from. Just because a page is linked to from a talk page does not mean it is suddenly not notable enough to be put on the wanted pages. There are multiple times that users are discussing pages that should be created and link to them appropriately. Assess what the subject actually is before blindly removing links based on where they are coming from. Redlinks should exist due to '''content''', not '''location'''.

== What ==

How is that against the rules. How is it hurting the site??? Its not. I am the only one who needs to read them. Its not against the rules on other wikis. Its not against my rules and its my page. If I want to read and erase, then I can. [[User:Black60Dragon|'''Black''''''Dragon''']] 03:20, 19 June 2013 (UTC)

== Link capitalization ==

I've noticed a couple of puzzling edits you've made lately (like writing <code><nowiki>[[Move|move]]</nowiki></code>), so I just wanted to make you aware that, when linking with <code><nowiki>[[ ]]</nowiki></code>, the capitalization of the first letter doesn't affect where the link goes.

== Images ==

I just wanted to make you aware that the staff here prefer .png images instead of .jpg. I'm telling you this cause the image you uploaded of the [[Poké Spot Monitor]] was a .jpg. Just thought I'd let you know so if the file was deleted, you'd know why. :D Also you can upload a new version of a file without uploading an entirely new file. At the bottom of an image page, it should say "Upload a new version of this image" or something of the sort. Using that will save you the hassle of putting in a new file name onto the pages. :3 [[Typhlosion|★]][[User:Jo The Marten|Jo the Marten]][[Flygon|★]] [[User_talk:Jo The Marten|ಠ_ಠ]] 21:36, 14 January 2011 (UTC)

== Manga birthdays in trivia ==

You can't remove something because "It is already in the infobox". The infobox is a supplement to the article. It helps summarize it in a way. It should NOT be a replacement for information in the article. An article with '''1 sentence''' and a '''full infobox''' would be worse then an article with a '''full paragraph''' of information that can all be found in the infobox and '''a picture'''.

== Page deletion ==

Removing the content from a page doesn't delete it. Only admins can delete pages. To let us know that a page needs deletion, please add <nowiki>{{delete}}</nowiki> to the top of it. This automatically adds it to [[:Category:Pages to be deleted]], while still allowing us to view the content of the page without having to search through the history. Thanks. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 03:56, 18 July 2011 (UTC)
:Thanks for informing me of this. Will keep it in mind for future pages. [[User:Frozen Fennec|Frozen Fennec]]

== The Preview Button ==
Instead of editing a page several times in a row, try using the preview button to make sure your edit looks the way you want it to. It's right next to the Save Changes button... Please try it out, so as not to clog up the Recent Changes. Thanks! --[[User:Pokemaster97|--Pokemaster]][[User talk:Pokemaster97|97]] 16:14, 18 July 2011 (UTC)
: Yea, I know. Right when I think it's correct it turns out the link is still incorrect. I still preview things for most part. Thanks for telling me this though. [[User:Frozen Fennec|Frozen Fennec]]

== Removing sections ==

Just because a large chunk of text is removed, that doesn't necessarily mean it is a bad thing. Please do not revert i back without a rebuttal to the information that was provided for the initial removal. It was already explained that those weren't mistakes because the animators used more specific source material than normal--[[User:SandmanDP|SandmanDP]] 23:57, 12 February 2012 (UTC)

== Link templates ==

Hey, please make a habit of using the [[LLT|Link templates]]. They're there to make linking to specific pages easier.

== Trivia Question ==

Hello there fellow Bulbapedian.
I see you haven't answered my e-mail so I'm just going to write you here.
Well why do you say that the trivia I wrote on [[AG159]] isn't trivia material ?
It isn't common for Team Rocket to blast such different,is it?
--'''DJWolfy'''. 13:57, 16 February 2012 (UTC)
: As far as trivia gos, I don't really see how it is important enough to go there. Then again I'm mostly collecting the cards, some books, and just playing the games. I really should consider watching the show more often though. If you feel it is important then feel free to add it again. If a sysop/admin removes it though, don't re-add it as that just results in edit wars clogging up recent changes. Have a great day. [[User:Frozen Fennec|Frozen Fennec]] 21:04, 16 February 2012 (UTC)

== Notes about the TCG templates ==

Where to start. The links for the Trainer cards you were adding were incorrect. First off, they are fine the way they are. However, if you were to change them, you'd need to change the TCG Template to the TCG ID template, and also add the number to the end of the template. <nowiki>{{TCG ID|Rising Rivals|Bebe's Search|89}}</nowiki>. The link has to link to the redirect of the most appropriate release for that card. A deck from 2005 can't be using a 2011 release of Rare Candy, now can it? No. That's why the links are the way they are. Additionally, I think the reason your link to {{TCG|Stormfront}} wasn't working was because you were trying to spell it "StormFront"? None of the sets are CamelCase.

{{TCG|Mother Flygon}} has the outdated template for a separate reason. It's a deck archetype, which are outdated because of how the formats and set rotations work in the TCG. When you add the template to Theme Decks, you need to specify the [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Mind_Machine_%28TCG%29&action=historysubmit&diff=1605834&oldid=1605814 type of Trainer card the cards are]. Also, if you do the GB Decks, use the template used on {{TCG|Great Quake Deck}}, not the one for theme decks. They are different. ''[[User:Maverick Nate|'''Maverick''']][[User talk:Maverick Nate|'''Nate''']]'' 20:01, 18 February 2012 (UTC)
: Ah, that makes more sense to me. I saw them and didn't add a number as they were lacking them originally. As for Stormfront, I spelled it as Stormfront and still got a red link, not sure why it was doing so. Alright then, will be sure to do the decks from the Pokemon GBC game in that format. Thanks for showing me what went wrong with editing. [[User:Frozen Fennec|Frozen Fennec]] 20:05, 18 February 2012 (UTC)
::Thought I would ask before editing the pages. If I use the Great Quake Deck as a base template for the other decks in that game then the level part is no longer necessary is it? [[User:Frozen Fennec|Frozen Fennec]] 03:20, 19 February 2012 (UTC)
:::Correct. ''[[User:Maverick Nate|'''Maverick''']][[User talk:Maverick Nate|'''Nate''']]'' 07:27, 19 February 2012 (UTC)

:Paragraph writing is easy. Just make sure to try writing them like this.And not like this. When starting a new sentence, hit the space button then write so the words and all aren't scrunched together. As for paragraphing. I try to keep count of how many I've written so far. When I get 6-7 written. I hit enter twice and start a new paragraph so it won't end up as a wall of text. Lastly, yea, Pokémon is always capitalized. Hope that helps. :-) [[User:Frozen Fennec|Frozen Fennec]] 15:32, 20 February 2012 (UTC)

== Obvious ==

That's pretty obvious,plus it's the same for almost all legendaries.
ex: normal and shiny [[legendary beasts|beasts]], Lugia and her baby, regis in M09 and brandon's regis etc. so I don't really see the point in keeping it. Plus the other "in the anime" section of other legendaries don't mention the game thing.--[[User:DJWolfy|--'''DJ''']][[User talk:DJWolfy|'''Wolfy''']] 15:39, 2 March 2012 (UTC)
: I left it since in the movie it was shown to be able to breed. The only other legendary Pokémon I've seen capable of breeding or more than one of is Lugia, Regis, Celebi, Mew, and Deoxys. Don't think I've seen any of the other legendaries having more than one of themselves especially Mewtwo who is a one of ak ind along with others. ''[[User:Frozen Fennec|Frozen]] [[User talk:Frozen Fennec|Fennec]]'' 15:42, 2 March 2012 (UTC)
::Yeah,that's why I said for almost all. Of course you won't see Arceus twice cause it's the original one or mewtwo since it is itself a human creation. But usually 580-600 stat legendaries are more than one. That's why I think it isn't necessary for "the game" thing to be on Latias' page. Also the same thing it is already mentioned on their page "In all but one of the games, there appears to only be one of each legendary Pokémon, but in the anime, there is more than one of most legendary Pokémon. This may just mean that the creators of the game intended the player to only ever happen to meet one of them canonically, and in fact there are others elsewhere which the player does not encounter." {{unsigned|DJWolfy}}

== M1 talk page undo ==

The Talk page policy states not to respond to messages older than 6 months UNLESS you have valid reason to do so. I had a valid reason to revive the discussion. [[User:Yamitora1|Yamitora1]] 18:07, 6 March 2012 (UTC)
:''Generally old comments over six months old should not be revived, however, if there is a legitimate reason to bring it up again, please do so. '' From the FAQ. Having watched the movie myself a couple of weeks back, he felt this his clones were much better and was going to clone all the Pokémon currently there and storm the world with the clones. You can disagree if you wish though, not saying I'm absolutely right but I feel that's what he was up to when he did what he did in the first movie.

::I have it stored on my pc in flv format and saw it today.

::After Ash's Charizard was defeated, Mewtwo materialized 3 of his clone balls saying "As the victor, I now claim my prize, your Pokémon!" He then captures Ash's Charizard, Shellshocker and Bruteroot in that order. Misty asks "What are you going to do with those Pokémon!?" Mewtwo responds "I will extract their DNA to make clones for myself! They will remain safe on this island with me, while my storm destroys the planet" This is before he materialized more clone balls and Psychic Ash into Brock. He then sends the swarm after everyone as ash and the others try to make a break for it.

::Although Mewtwo hadn't cloned Ash's Charizard, Shellshocker or Bruteroot in that instance, he made it clear he planned to later as far as the English dub is concerned. That is what I relayed in the revival comment. Plus I'm not the only one to post on it way after 6 months.

::::Theoretically, Mewtwo would also need the extra DNA from Ash's Charizard, Shellshocker and Bruteroot to sustain a healthy population of his clones. While where he obtained the genetics for the first Charizardtwo, Blastoisetwo and Venusaurtwo is speculation, most agree it was somehow from Charmandertwo, Squirtletwo and Bulbasaurtwo, despite them dying & Mewtwo destroying the lab and any possible surviving genetic samples directly or indirectly. In any case, while he successfully cloned them, even somehow evolved them, it was indicated that there were many problems during the first cloning procedures/processes because the kept dying. This leads the viewer to believe there is some kind of genetic defect to cause this deterioration. Plus out of all the clones, these three had the most drastically different markings which are also speculated to be from defects in the genetics. So no mater what, its a good bet Mewtwo needed and would use the DNA sooner if not later. [[User:Yamitora1|Yamitora1]] 19:23, 6 March 2012 (UTC)
:::::I see what you are saying there. However did it look like he was using the stuff right away and the clones looked close to perfect so maybe he made a near perfected system from the rubble he left on the island after destroying it. That and they were shown to be able to breed in the second movie that he was in, albeit they were in final forms or current stage of their evolution line rather than starter/baby forms. ''[[User:Frozen Fennec|Frozen]] [[User talk:Frozen Fennec|Fennec]]'' 19:30, 6 March 2012 (UTC)
::::::Unfortunately Ash destroyed the machine before anything else was crested. The last clones were just barely out of incubation before everything blew up. We have to go by Mewtwo's actions of capturing Ash's Charizard, Shellshocker and Bruteroot in the first place to indicate his future plans for them and their genetics. Mewtwo is theatrical, but I doubt he'd just capture three Pokémon for their genetics for no reason. [[User:Yamitora1|Yamitora1]] 20:02, 6 March 2012 (UTC)

:Saying all the gym leaders have a type disadvantage to the next one. By this I would assume that the next gym leader has a type that is super-effective to the previous gym leader except Brock as there is no gym leader battled before him.

Sorry, but how is [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Registeel_(Pokémon)&curid=2649&diff=1700623&oldid=1700622 the previous revision "better worded"]? Contractions are informal and shouldn't be used in formal writing such as the Bulbapedia mainspace. I can understand the repetition of "the legendary golems" not being quite optimal (although something other than the super-informal "Regis" still needs to be used), but there was no need to revert the contractions back in, was there? [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 23:52, 11 June 2012 (UTC)
:Actually, as I was taught, informal language is text speaking or how one would talk to another on a cell phone usually spelling things incorrectly. Regis is also formal since the Regis are called, legendary golems, Regi trio, or simply Regis. If the contraction was something like ''they'll'' or ''ain't'' I could understand since those would be informal. As it is, ''it's'' is quite common to use and very formal. Hope that helps you understand a little bit. ''[[User:Frozen Fennec|Frozen]] [[User talk:Frozen Fennec|Fennec]]'' 23:58, 11 June 2012 (UTC)
::If you insist, I'll let it go your way, but I'm afraid I have to respectfully disagree for the moment. I've always been taught that no contractions are ''ever'' considered formal - I've even seen "it's" -> "it is" used in examples in textbooks [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:CONTRACTIONS and even Wikipedia]. (As for "Regis", as fanon-y as that term sounds, our own article apparently uses it, so I guess I have to grin and bear it. I won't mention it again.)

== TCG move errors. ==

It's rather not good idea listing moves that didn't exist yet. For example, few {{p|Ampharos}} cards had Bolt Strike if I remember (but under different English name) on them. Didn't add that, the move wasn't in games until three generations and almost eleven years later{{tt|*|Confusion translated as Psyshock is another story, though.}} - I also fixed table (there was redundant |- everywhere). [[User:Marked +-+-+|Marked +-+-+]] ([[User talk:Marked +-+-+|talk]]) 15:37, 22 March 2013 (UTC)
:I [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Whitney%27s_Lickitung_%28VS_17%29&diff=1867653&oldid=1867375 had just removed this trivia] not more than six hours before you added it again.
:Furthermore, our database is not ready to be doing [[TCG move errors|this page]], and I'm rather disappointed and annoyed that no one decided to contact the {{u|Maverick Nate|Head of TCG}} before attempting this page to make sure we were ready, or if plans weren't already being done. Any work on it right now is futile, because not all the card pages even exist, let alone have correct information regarding the cards' moves. There are several things that needed to happen before this page could have been started correctly. 1) A more appropriate table needed to be created. 2) All the origin sections needed to be double checked to remove speculation and false information. 3) TCG sections for all moves, abilities, Warrior skills, etc needed to be created (which can't even be completed until Bulbapedia's search gets repaired). 4) [[Error cards]] need to be researched and a system for classifying errors needs to be developed. After these four things are finished, then we would have been able to start work on [[TCG move errors]]. This page is not going to exist in the end. It is going to be an extremely condensed sub section of the Error cards page. Next time you try to work on such an extremely large TCG undertaking, please ''talk'' to me so that we can at least develop a system for 100% completion and accuracy, because I don't like having to undo someone's work everytime you decided to add an inappropriate trivia: like [[Whitney's Lickitung (VS 17)|this Pokémon]] knowing {{m|Lick}} (したでなめる) when it actually knows Lick (なめる), or {{TCG ID|Vending|Pidgeotto|S3}} knowing {{m|Twister}} (たつまき) when it actually knows Twister (ツイスター), OR {{TCG ID|Gym Heroes|Brock's Golbat|39}} knowing {{m|Dive}} (ダイビング) when it actually knows "Dive" (スピードひこう) (later translated as Speed Dive). The inappropriate trivias will only exist simply because there is a rift between accuracy, what needs to be said, and what exactly is going on with the cards
:There are a lot of things that needed to happen first, specifically with finalizing what needs to be said in each card's origin section. Talk to me first next time, so that we can work on things ''together''. It's hard for me to keep track of 8000 cards when tons of people decide to do their own thing without talking to me at all. I apologize if I sound a bit harsh: I'm just highly disappointed, and want everything to be as great as possible, which I just don't think is possible with this page at this moment based on the state in which the rest of our TCG database is.

::Did not realize it was that big of an error on my part creating the page.
::First, the only reason I had |- in between card entries was to make it easier to see where one card began and ended at. Aside from that, they served no other purpose.

::As for the TCG Error page being created. I started that one upon noticing that the Error moves template {{template|Move errors}} had a red link for the TCG link. I didn't think there was any harm in adding the page at the time. As for fixing up the template being used on that page as a whole, I would be more than happy to wait on that to happen before working on the page again. Also if it is only meant to be a sub section of the [[Error cards|error cards]] page then I have no problem with going through and removing the images themselves so they consume less space on the page. As for taking it up with you (Head of TCG) next time, I will be more than happy to do so.

::Lastly,
::1. What kind of table would be appropriate in this case?
::2. Removing false information and speculation, I will do my best in regards to both of those.
::3. I can understand the first part. My question, how is the search broken at the moment? Not doubting you, just curious as to how it's broken.

== Redlinks ==

Do NOT. I repeat, do NOT remove redlinks to pages that should actually exist, no matter what space they are linked from.

I've noticed a couple of puzzling edits you've made lately (like writing <code><nowiki>[[Move|move]]</nowiki></code>), so I just wanted to make you aware that, when linking with <code><nowiki>[[ ]]</nowiki></code>, the capitalization of the first letter doesn't affect where the link goes. (The rest of the link is case-sensitive, but not the first letter.) Thanks! [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 18:45, 20 June 2017 (UTC)

'''Pokémon Stadium''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンスタジアム''' ''Pokémon Stadium'', subtitled in English as ''Pocket Monsters' Stadium'') is the first game of the [[Pokémon Stadium series]]. It was released exclusively in Japan on August 1, 1998.

==Gameplay==
The game starts with a keyboard, and it asks if the player or players would like to use their Game Boy Pokémon. If not, the player can only access the Battle Mode.<ref>[http://www.nintendo.co.jp/n01/n64/software/nus_p_npsj/qa/qa.html Pokémon Stadium Q&A, Question 3 (Japanese)]</ref>
* '''Battle''' ('''バトル'''): Players can battle against other humans or computer-controlled opponents.
* '''Organize''' ('''せいとん'''): Players can transfer Pokémon and items between their [[party]], [[Pokémon Storage System|PC boxes]], and storage boxes in the game.
* '''List''' ('''いちらん'''): A list of a player's Pokémon and their stats can be examined.
* '''Pokédex''' ('''ずかん''', or '''[[Pokédex|Encyclopedia]]'''): Players can view their Pokédex in 3D.
* '''Register''' ('''とうろく'''): A team can be registered.
* '''Party''' ('''てもち'''): The player can examine their current party.
* '''GB''' ('''[[Game Boy Tower]]''' in international versions): A [[Generation I]] game can be played on the Nintendo 64.

Many of these features were integrated into {{DL|Pokémon Stadium (English)|Oak's Lab}} in future Pokémon Stadium games.

[[File:JP Pokemon Stadium Game Pak Check.png|thumb|right|240px|Transfer Pak compatibility.]]
==Battle Mode==
Battle Mode features two modes: '''Free Battle''' ('''フリーバトル''') and '''Tournament''' ('''トーナメント''').

===Free Battle===
In Free Battle, a player can battle against another human or a computer-controlled player under one of three rulesets: the L1-30 Division, the L50-55 Division, or Free Battle, where Pokémon of any level may be used.

Aside from battling with their own Game Boy Pokémon, there are eight pre-configured Trainers that players may use, with Pokémon ranging from [[level]] 20 to 100.

===Tournament===
This mode features two tournaments based upon [[Rule variants#In tournaments|official Pokémon tournaments]].
* L1-30 Division: This tournament is based on the {{DL|Rule variants|Nintendo Cup '98}}. There are four divisions: the {{tt|Monster Ball|Poké Ball}}, {{tt|Super Ball|Great Ball}}, {{tt|Hyper Ball|Ultra Ball}}, and Master Ball.
* L50-55 Division: This tournament is based on the {{DL|Rule variants|Nintendo Cup '97}}. The total levels of the three Pokémon selected cannot exceed 155. The opponents in this mode are based on actual competitors in the 1997 tournament.

Unlike future Pokémon Stadium games, there are no Continues.

The credits roll after a tournament is cleared.

After one of the tournaments is cleared, the player obtains a Doduo Game Boy [[Game Boy Tower#Upgrades|upgrade]] that allows the Game Boy games to be played with frame skip at double speed. When both tournaments are cleared, the Dodrio Game Boy is obtained, allowing the games to be played with frame skip at triple speed.

==Pokémon==
Pocket Monsters Stadium only featured 42 Pokémon available for play. Most of these Pokémon were used in official tournaments, with a few Pokémon added for type balance.<ref>[http://www.nintendo.co.jp/n01/n64/software/nus_p_npsj/qa/qa.html Pokémon Stadium Q&A, Question 1 (Japanese)]</ref> Below is a list of the Pokémon that were included in the game.

While the other 109 Pokémon cannot be used in battle, their 3D models can still be viewed in the other modes.

==Move Tutor==
If the player clears the Master Ball division of the L1-30 Division with a {{p|Pikachu}} in his or her party, that Pikachu can learn {{m|Surf}}.

Since this game was only released in Japan, Pikachu can be taught Surf in the [[Pokémon Stadium (English)|international Pokémon Stadium]], whereas it cannot in the Japanese version of that same game.

==Trivia==
[[File:B retail flyer back.jpg|thumb|x146px|Nintendo's flyer for the retail release of Pokémon Blue]]
* [[Nintendo]] advertised {{game|Blue| (Japanese)}}'s compatibility with Pokémon Stadium in a September 1999 flyer for the game's retail release in October 1999. Oddly enough, it does not mention {{eng|Pokémon Stadium|Pokémon Stadium 2}}, which had already been released in April 1999.
* According to the ''Iwata Asks'' for {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, [[Satoru Iwata]] studied the battle logic of {{game|Red and Green|s}} for the development of Pokémon Stadium without having the appropriate specification document from [[Game Freak]].<ref>[http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ds/interview/ipkj/vol1/index3.html 社長が訊く『ポケットモンスターハートゴールド・ソウルシルバー』]</ref><ref>[https://www.nintendo.co.uk/Iwata-Asks/Iwata-Asks-Pokemon-HeartGold-Version-SoulSilver-Version/Iwata-Asks-Pokemon-HeartGold-Version-SoulSilver-Version/3-Just-Being-President-Was-A-Waste-/3-Just-Being-President-Was-A-Waste--225951.html Iwata Asks : Pokémon HeartGold Version & SoulSilver Version : Just Being President Was A Waste!]</ref> [[Shigeki Morimoto]] from Game Freak also commented on how it took him a long time to create the original battle program for Pokémon Red and Green, which was then ported to Pokémon Stadium by Satoru Iwata in a week.
* This is the only [[Pokémon Stadium series]] game released in Japan in which {{p|Pikachu}} can learn {{m|Surf}}. Additionally, Pikachu is the only {{cat|Generation I Pokémon}} the player can battle with that can also [[Evolution|evolve]].
* During the credits, {{p|Caterpie}}, {{p|Weedle}}, {{p|Hitmonchan}}, {{p|Hitmonlee}}, {{p|Clefairy}}, and {{p|Jigglypuff}} are shown battling, even though these Pokémon cannot be used in the game.
* The game's name may be a reference to {{jwp|64マリオスタジアム|64 Mario Stadium}}, a Nintendo-centric Japanese variety show that featured televised coverage of Pokémon tournaments.
* The game was going to have support for the Nintendo 64DD but the programming was never completed.
* The game was going to have team battle support like the English release and sequel but programming for the function was never completed.

{{StrategyWiki|Pokémon Trading Card Game}}
{{bulbanews|game}}
'''Pokémon Trading Card Game''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンカードＧＢ''' ''Pokémon Card GB'') is the first Pokémon game in the Trading Card Game series to be released in Japan, in 1998. The English version was later released in North America in 2000. It was released on [[Nintendo 3DS]] Virtual Console in 2014, making it the first Pokémon game to be released for the Nintendo 3DS Virtual Console.

Pokémon Trading Card Game was followed, only in Japan, a year later by a sequel, titled [[Pokémon Card GB2: Here Comes Team GR!]]. It takes place on the [[TCG Island|Trading Card Game Island]] and the player's starting area is the [[Mason Laboratory]].

A [[Meowth (Wizards Promo 10)|promotional Meowth card]] was included with the English release of the Game Boy Color game. The Japanese version of the game included the special Legendary {{TCG ID|GB|Dragonite|1}}, only to be released in Japan.

==Plot==
The player begins his or her adventure at [[Mason Laboratory]], where [[Dr. Mason]] gives him or her the choice of taking along one of three different Pokémon Trading Card Game decks: {{TCG|Charmander & Friends Deck|Charmander & Friends}}, {{TCG|Squirtle & Friends Deck|Squirtle & Friends}} or {{TCG|Bulbasaur & Friends Deck|Bulbasaur & Friends}}. The player, known by default as [[Mark]], has an ambition of becoming the world's greatest Pokémon Trading Card Game player; however, Mark's rival, [[Ronald]], has a similar goal. Ronald will duel the player at certain points in the game to test the player's cards; being defeated is an indication for the player to improve his or her deck. Victory, however, results in receiving a {{GB|1|Promotional Card}}.

==Blurb==
Based on the hit [[Wizards of the Coast]] card game... The greatest [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] players of all time – the [[Grand Master]]s – are looking for one player worthy of inheriting the four rare, [[Legendary Cards|Legendary Pokémon Cards]]! Build new decks with the Auto Deck Machine, hone your skills on the Challenge Machine and test your ability in [[Challenge Hall]]. Expand your card collection, duel your way through 8 [[Club Master]]s and earn the right to challenge the Grand Masters in the [[Pokémon Dome]]! Shadowy figures, wise instructors and powerful opponents await in the ultimate trading card game adventure!

* Includes over 200 of your favorite Pokémon Trading Cards, plus new cards exclusive to the Game Boy game!
* Learn how to play the card game, build and manage decks and duel with other card players in step-by-step tutorials.
* Duel a friend using the Game Link cable (sold separately) or generate new cards using the Infra-Red Card Pop! feature (available with Game Boy Color only).
* Basic reading skills are needed to fully enjoy the story.

==Connectivity==
Pokémon Trading Card Game allows players to send and receive cards and deck configurations or perform a [[Card Pop!]] between two cartridges via [[infrared]], using an infrared communicator built into the cartridge.

Pokémon Trading Card Game allows players to duel each other using their own decks via the [[Game Boy]] [[Game Link Cable]].

Pokémon Trading Card Game cannot communicate with [[Pokémon Card GB2: Here Comes Team GR!]]. All multiplayer features are disabled in the [[Nintendo 3DS]] [[Virtual Console]] release.

===Card Pop!===
{{main|Card Pop!}}
Card Pop! is a 2-player feature that randomly generates a card for each player. When the infrared ports of two Pokémon Trading Card Game cartridges are connected, each player will receive a random card. A player cannot Card Pop! with the same game again until both players have used the feature with so many others that their partner's ID is overwritten in both games.

This feature is the only way of obtaining the [[Phantom Cards]] ({{TCG ID|GB|Mew|1}} and {{TCG ID|Wizards Promo|Venusaur|13}}).

Card Pop! cannot be performed between Pokémon Trading Card Game and Pokémon Card GB2: Here Comes Team GR!. Attempting to do so can result in [[glitch]]es such as a [[game freeze]] or a loss of save data in Pokémon Trading Card Game.

==Features==
===Similarities to the core series===
[[File:Pokemon Trading Card Game.jpg|thumb|200px|The Pokémon TCG [[ROM cartridge|game cartridge]]]]
The object of the game is very similar to the object of the games in the [[core series]]: Players can start off with one of the three [[starter deck]]s, titled after (and built around) the [[starter Pokémon]] of [[Generation I]] (excluding [[Pokémon Yellow Version|Pokémon Yellow]]), {{p|Squirtle}}, {{p|Charmander}} and {{p|Bulbasaur}}. The goal of players is also to defeat eight specialized leaders, the [[Club Master]]s (comparable to [[Gym Leader]]s), and four Elite challengers, the [[Grand Master]]s (comparable to the [[Elite Four]]). However, while Club Masters' decks correspond approximately to the {{TCG|type}}s of the Trading Card Game cards, since there are eight Club Masters and at the time only seven distinct Pokémon card types, two of the types are repeated: {{TCG|Fighting}} and {{TCG|Grass}}, split in the form of a "Rock" and a "Poison" user, respectively.

Similar to the [[Gym]] [[Badge]]s earned by players after defeating Gym Leaders in the core series, players of Trading Card Game earn [[Master Medal]]s after defeating Club Masters. Certain Master Medals allow players to unlock corresponding [[Auto Deck Machine]]s in [[Mason Laboratory]].

Like the concept of the core series to store Pokémon in a [[PC]], Trading Card Game also allows players to manage their cards via computer. Players can also check their mail for messages from Dr. Mason; Mason will send fifteen e-mails in all over the adventure, each containing at least one booster pack.

An almost exact reception center is also featured in Club lounges in the game, with a Battle Center and a Gift Center; the former which allows players to duel against each other's decks and the latter which allows players to send or receive cards or deck configurations.

Pokémon Trading Card Game also features the ability to run while holding the B button, an element that was not seen in the core series until {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}. It also displays the player's location in the main menu before they choose to continue. On a similar note, from the Ruby and Sapphire versions onward, the save prompt can also display the player's location.

===Clubs===
There are eight Pokémon Clubs on Trading Card Game Island, each with their own type affiliation. The Club Masters are [[Nikki]] ({{TCG|Grass}}), [[Rick]] ([[Grass (TCG)|Poison]]), [[Club Master Ken|Ken]] ({{TCG|Fire}}), {{FB|Club Master|Amy}} ({{TCG|Water}}), [[Club Master Isaac|Isaac]] ({{TCG|Lightning}}), [[Murray]] ({{TCG|Psychic}}), [[Gene]] ([[Fighting (TCG)|Rock]]) and [[Club Master Mitch|Mitch]] ({{TCG|Fighting}}).

===Grand Masters===
There are four [[Grand Master]]s located at the [[Pokémon Dome]]. The Grand Masters are [[Grand Master Courtney|Courtney]] ({{TCG|Fire}}), [[Steve]] ({{TCG|Lightning}}), [[Grand Master Jack|Jack]] ([[Water (TCG)|Ice]]) and [[Rod]] ([[Colorless (TCG)|Dragon]]); the {{pkmn|Champion}} is [[Ronald]], who has a deck of mixed types.

===Pokémon cards===
The game contains every card released in the real Trading Card Game's {{TCG|Base Set}}, {{TCG|Jungle}}, and {{TCG|Fossil}} expansions, except for the Base Set's {{TCG ID|Base Set|Electrode|21}} and Fossil's {{TCG ID|Fossil|Ditto|3}}. (This only includes cards released in the Japanese expansions, so no normal counterparts of holographic cards are included.) Additionally, the first 14 tournament-legal [[Unnumbered Promotional cards (TCG)|unnumbered promotional cards]] are included (not counting glossy/non-glossy reprints). The game also features 18 game-exclusive cards which weren't produced for normal play, though some were released later on. The game emulated the experience of the actual Trading Card Game very closely.

The game contains pre-recorded data on all 228 cards featured (including Lv15 {{TCG ID|GB|Mew|1}} and Lv64 {{TCG ID|Wizards Promo|Venusaur|13}}). Despite this, not all Pokémon are available to the player through normal gameplay; [[Card Pop!]] must occur between players in order to complete their album without the use of cheats, as this is the only way to obtain the aforementioned Mew and Venusaur cards.

Cards can be obtained through booster packs from four expansion sets including {{GB|1|Colosseum}}, {{GB|1|Evolution}}, {{GB|1|Mystery}}, and {{GB|1|Laboratory}}, or by defeating specific challengers (for example, each defeat of the Grand Masters will award the player with a set of legendary {{TCG ID|GB|Moltres|1}}, {{TCG ID|GB|Zapdos|1}}, {{TCG ID|GB|Articuno|1}}, and {{TCG ID|GB|Dragonite|1}} cards). Among the aforementioned four expansion sets is a fifth set, the {{GB|1|Promotional Card}} set. However these cards can only be attained by defeating players such as [[Ronald]], [[Tomoaki Imakuni|Imakuni?]], and the [[Grand Master]]s, defeating three [[Challenge Hall]] opponents in a row, trading with [[Ishihara]], and [[Card Pop!|Card Popping]].

==Regional Differences==
Booster pack images were changed between localizations to reflect the art style used for booster packs by region. The title screen was changed between the Japanese and international releases. The Super Game Boy border in international releases removes the writing of ''Pokémon • Trading • Card • Game •'' on the Poké Balls. The back of Pokémon cards was changed in international releases to the design used on the back of cards outside of Japan. The artwork for [[Jynx (Base Set 31)|Jynx Lv. 23]]'s face was changed from black to purple in international releases to avoid further [[Jynx (Pokémon)#Controversy|controversy]]. The background of the card was also changed from dark purple to light purple in the [[Virtual Console]] release.

===Virtual Console Differences===
Due to the [[Nintendo 3DS]] being unable to emulate the [[Game Boy Color]] infrared hardware, several changes were made to the Virtual Console release. [[Mew (GB 1)|Mew Lv.15]] and [[Venusaur (Wizards Promo 13)|Venusaur Lv.64]] became unobtainable due to [[Card Pop!]] being disabled, making these two cards [[Phantom Cards]] and making [[Mysterious Pokémon Deck (TCG)]] impossible to obtain normally. The deck is still included in the Legendary Auto Deck Machine in certain versions of the Virtual Console release making the Legendary Auto Deck Machine the only possible way to see those cards. Due to Card Pop! being disabled, a bookshelf in Ishihara's House is disabled as the bookshelf refers to the ''Phantom Cards'' from Card Pop!. Clerks at all Clubs who would normally be spoken to for the Battle Center or Gift Center have all been disabled by default as the Game Link Cable functions cannot be emulated. The Game Boy Printer '''Print''' function has been disabled from PCs. Due to the game being locked in Game Boy Color mode, the game cannot be played in Game Boy monochrome mode or with the Super Game Boy borders.

==Staff==
{{main|Staff of Pokémon Trading Card Game}}

==Trivia==
* The promotional {{TCG ID|Wizards|Venusaur|Promo 13}} card that appears in the game (and can only be obtained by using [[Card Pop!]]) was included with the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game: Official Nintendo Player's Guide]] in North America and with the [[Pokémon Card GB Official Guidebook]] in Japan.
* The {{TCG ID|Wizards|Surfing Pikachu|Promo 28}} with artwork featuring Mt. Fuji and a bullet train was released in Japan but not in English. The card was printed in English, but never with that artwork.
* This game, along with its sequel, are the only spin-off games to share overworld sprites with the, at the time, [[core series]] games.
* {{p|Ninetales}}'s name is misspelled as ''Ninetails'' in this game.
* There is an inaccessible room behind the duel room in Challenge Hall, it has a basic layout but is otherwise empty.
* The internal files of the game contain two unused Super Game Boy borders, the second one was used for testing purposes.

'''Guillotine''' (Japanese: '''ハサミギロチン''' ''Pincer Guillotine'') is a {{type|Normal}} [[one-hit knockout move]] introduced in [[Generation I]].

==Effect==
===Generation I===
Guillotine has 30% [[accuracy]] and inflicts damage equal to the target's current {{stat|HP}}. Guillotine will break a {{m|substitute}} if it hits.

Guillotine will not affect an opponent whose current {{stat|Speed}} stat is greater than the user's current Speed stat.

===Generation II ===
Unlike in Generation I, Guillotine can affect a Pokémon whose Speed stat is greater than the user's current Speed stat. However, it cannot affect a Pokémon of a higher level. The accuracy of Guillotine depends on the level of the user and the level of the target and is worked out with the formula
Accuracy = ((level of user - level of target)*0.78 + 30)%.

Guillotine cannot be {{m|counter}}ed for infinite damage if it misses in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]].

===Generations III to VI===
Guillotine's chance of hitting is now independent of {{stat|accuracy}} and {{stat|evasion}} stats; instead, it depends on the level of the user and the level of the target and is worked out with the formula
Accuracy = ((level of user - level of target) + 30)%.

Guillotine can no longer be {{m|counter}}ed for infinite damage if it misses.

Guillotine can be used as part of a [[Contest combination|Pokémon Contest combination]], with the user gaining two extra appeal points if the move {{m|Vice Grip}} was used in the prior turn. It is also part of a Contest Spectacular combination and will give three extra appeal points if one of the moves {{m|Lock-On}}, {{m|Mind Reader}}, or {{m|Miracle Eye}} was used in the prior turn.

===Generation VII===
Guillotine's accuracy is now displayed as 30%; however, its accuracy calculation remains unchanged.

'''Fissure''' (Japanese: '''じわれ''' ''Fissure'') is a {{type|Ground}} [[one-hit knockout move]] introduced in [[Generation I]]. It was [[TM27]] in Generation I. In [[Generation II]], it was the [[signature move]] of {{p|Diglett}} and {{p|Dugtrio}}.

==Effect==
===Generation I===
Fissure has 30% [[accuracy]] and inflicts damage equal to the target's current {{stat|HP}}. Fissure will break a {{m|substitute}} if it hits.

Fissure will not affect an opponent whose current {{stat|Speed}} stat is greater than the user's current Speed stat.

===Generation II ===
Unlike in Generation I, Fissure can affect a Pokémon whose Speed stat is greater than the user's current Speed stat. However, it cannot affect a Pokémon of a higher level. The accuracy of Fissure depends on the level of the user and the level of the target and is worked out with the formula
Accuracy = ((level of user - level of target)*0.78 + 30)%.

Fissure can also now affect Pokémon during the semi-invulnerable turn of {{m|Dig}}.

Fissure cannot be {{m|counter}}ed for infinite damage if it misses in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]].

===Generations III to VI===
Fissure's chance of hitting is now independent of {{stat|accuracy}} and {{stat|evasion}} stats; instead, it depends on the level of the user and the level of the target and is worked out with the formula
Accuracy = ((level of user - level of target) + 30)%.

Fissure can no longer be {{m|counter}}ed for infinite damage if it misses.

Fissure can be used as part of a [[Contest combination|Pokémon Contest combination]], with the user gaining extra two appeal points if the move {{m|Earthquake}} was used in the prior turn. It is also part of a Contest Spectacular combination and will give an extra three appeal points if any of the moves {{m|Lock-On}}, {{m|Mind Reader}} and {{m|Miracle Eye}} was used in the prior turn.

===Generation VII===
Fissure's accuracy is now displayed as 30%; however, its accuracy calculation remains unchanged.

'''Horn Drill''' (Japanese: '''つのドリル''' ''Horn Drill'') is a {{type|Normal}} [[one-hit knockout move]] introduced in [[Generation I]]. It was [[TM07]] in Generation I.

==Effect==
===Generation I===
Horn Drill has 30% accuracy and inflicts damage equal to the target's current {{stat|HP}}. Horn Drill will break a {{m|substitute}} if it hits.

Horn Drill will not affect a target whose current {{stat|Speed}} stat is greater than the user's current Speed stat.

===Generation II===
Unlike in Generation I, Horn Drill can affect a Pokémon whose Speed stat is greater than the user's current Speed stat. However, it cannot affect a Pokémon of a higher level. The accuracy of Horn Drill depends on the level of the user and the level of the target and is worked out with the formula
Accuracy = ((level of user - level of target)*0.78 + 30)%.

Horn Drill cannot be {{m|counter}}ed for infinite damage if it misses in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]].

===Generations III to VI===
Horn Drill's chance of hitting is now independent of {{stat|accuracy}} and {{stat|evasion}} stats; instead, it depends on the level of the user and the level of the target and is worked out with the formula
Accuracy = ((level of user - level of target) + 30)%.

Horn Drill can no longer be {{m|counter}}ed for infinite damage if it misses.

Horn Drill can be used as part of a [[Contest combination|Pokémon Contest combination]], with the user gaining an extra two appeal points if the move {{m|Horn Attack}} was used in the prior turn. It is also part of a Contest Spectacular combination and will give an extra three appeal points if any of the moves {{m|Lock-On}}, {{m|Mind Reader}} and {{m|Miracle Eye}} was used in the prior turn.

===Generation VII===
Horn Drill's accuracy is now displayed as 30%; however, its accuracy calculation remains unchanged.
