== Generation V Egg Group data ==

Seeing as how it's apparently incredibly difficult to trust new users with simple tasks here, I reckoned I'd just provide you with [[http://pastehtml.com/view/1bwfioy.txt the data]] and allow you to handle it as you see fit. —'''[[User:Hexagon Theory|hexagon]][[User_talk:Hexagon Theory|THEORY]]''' 08:49, 13 November 2010 (UTC)
:I was actually trying to get the opinions of a few other admins first, in particular for the ordering. I'll give you the honor of adding it to the page. Go ahead if you like. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 09:00, 13 November 2010 (UTC)
::Ah, I was under the impression that the template automatically padded the numbers to a length of three. Either way, thank you; I shall remember that in future. —'''[[User:Hexagon Theory|hexagon]][[User_talk:Hexagon Theory|THEORY]]''' 09:30, 13 November 2010 (UTC)

== PokéPark Pictures (cont.) ==

Hey Werdnae, [http://www.spriters-resource.com/other_systems/pokepark/sheet/32586 look what I found.] :D I asked the guy who ripped them if we could use them and he said we could. Maybe put them on the side games template or something. Like to the left of the Pad description. [[Typhlosion|★]][[User:Jo The Marten|Jo the Marten]][[Flygon|★]] [[User_talk:Jo The Marten|ಠ_ಠ]] 00:54, 14 November 2010 (UTC)
:Werdnae, I would like to make a suggestion: I think putting the cell directly to the left of the Pad entries would be perfect, but d'you reckon you could just display the image in the actual template, then I'll just upload each of the images as PokePark001.png, etc. It seems like that would make things move far smootherly. —'''[[User:Hexagon Theory|hexagon]][[User_talk:Hexagon Theory|THEORY]]''' 01:11, 14 November 2010 (UTC)
::...well at any rate, {{tt|Random Talking Bush|the guy who ripped the images}} sent all the individual images to me in PNG format to save us the trouble of cropping them all out of The Spriter's Resource. Let's decide on what we want the template to look like before deciding the file names perhaps. [[Typhlosion|★]][[User:Jo The Marten|Jo the Marten]][[Flygon|★]] [[User_talk:Jo The Marten|ಠ_ಠ]] 01:20, 14 November 2010 (UTC)
:::Haha. It positively tickles me that none of you seem to have ever heard of programmers. Nearly all popular programming languages today are perfectly suited for ripping sections of images, so that wouldn't have been a problem; still, that was quite nice of him. Regarding the template, what could possibly be more fitting than putting the image to the left of the Pad entry? —'''[[User:Hexagon Theory|hexagon]][[User_talk:Hexagon Theory|THEORY]]''' 01:25, 14 November 2010 (UTC)
::::For the file names we'll go with PPW###.png with the hashes being the ndex number. That has the added advantage of meaning that the image won't need to be added to each individual page. The images are 64px square right? I've made [[User:Werdnae/Sandbox/Sidegame|a quick mockup]] using one of the MD images stretched to 64x64 pixels to give an idea of size. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 02:47, 14 November 2010 (UTC)
:::::Alright. Yeah, they're 64x64. One final question and I'll start uploading them. The ###'s, do I use national dex or the Pokepark pad numbers? [[Typhlosion|★]][[User:Jo The Marten|Jo the Marten]][[Flygon|★]] [[User_talk:Jo The Marten|ಠ_ಠ]] 02:50, 14 November 2010 (UTC)
::::::Ndex numbers. That way it's more consistent and there's no need for an extra parameter on the template. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 02:51, 14 November 2010 (UTC)
:::::::Psst, we're all done uploading the PPW imagery; when d'you reckon they'll be displaying in the template? —'''[[User:Hexagon Theory|hexagon]][[User_talk:Hexagon Theory|THEORY]]''' 04:33, 14 November 2010 (UTC)
::::::::How about... now. You may need to purge the cache to get it to show up on a specific page. Don't worry about manually doing them all though, the cache updates often enough on its own. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 04:55, 14 November 2010 (UTC)
:::::::::Glorious. It really does look quite snazzy. I think Jo might hate me now, though... —'''[[User:Hexagon Theory|hexagon]][[User_talk:Hexagon Theory|THEORY]]''' 05:17, 14 November 2010 (UTC)
:::::::::Looks pretty good. =D In other news, I've been working on the Guardian Signs browser descriptions and I'm almost done with that as well. [[Typhlosion|★]][[User:Jo The Marten|Jo the Marten]][[Flygon|★]] [[User_talk:Jo The Marten|ಠ_ಠ]] 04:58, 14 November 2010 (UTC)
After getting all those icons uploaded, still think I should go ahead and upload those images I sent you via photobucket? (Sorry if it gets annoying always asking permission for everything[and for apologizing all the time], but I fear making a mistake will cost me. D:) [[Typhlosion|★]][[User:Jo The Marten|Jo the Marten]][[Flygon|★]] [[User_talk:Jo The Marten|ಠ_ಠ]] 08:47, 14 November 2010 (UTC)
:I'd say just hold on to them for now. We may want to use them at some point, but the icons will be enough for the moment. And don't worry too much about making mistakes - everyone makes them at some point. It's always okay for you to ask if you aren't sure though.

== Regarding Generation V Experience Yields... ==

Nearly every single Pokémon had its Experience yield modified in some way in Generation V; any ideas regarding how to get this data into the system without having to hand-modify almost 500 Pokémon pages? The only thing I could think of was a massive switch case; while it would be stupid ugly, it would get the job done much more efficiently. What do you think about the matter? —'''[[User:Hexagon Theory|hexagon]][[User_talk:Hexagon Theory|THEORY]]''' 05:48, 14 November 2010 (UTC)
:The EV yield remains the same, right? If so the new Exp. yield could potentially replace the Battle Exp. part of the infobox - that number itself is just a formula of the Base, with the box taking up the whole width for Gen IV Pokémon (or it could have a -- like the dex numbers section). Unless the new yields are mathematically related to the old ones through a single formula then there's no way to get around adding it to the pages for all 493 Pokémon that need it unfortunately. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 09:27, 14 November 2010 (UTC)
::I do think that the Battle Exp. could be done away with. However, I still don't understand why it would have to be manually added; why couldn't a huge switch case be used in the template to provide the correct Exp. yield based on the National Dex number? —'''[[User:Hexagon Theory|hexagon]][[User_talk:Hexagon Theory|THEORY]]''' 20:15, 14 November 2010 (UTC)
:::Huge switches (i.e. those with many outcomes) require a lot of server resources and cause stability issues. That's why templates have parameters, rather than just a pagename switcher. It also means that if, say, someone makes a mistake putting it in, people who notice can just fix it. Since high-use templates get protected (again, mainly to reduce server stress) they wouldn't be able to if it was just a template with a giant switch. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 20:24, 14 November 2010 (UTC)
::::Erm, the switch case would only need to take into account the parameter passed as the National Dex and then display the correct Exp. yield accordingly; that's not server-intensive at all; it doesn't have to access any other data on the server. As for being protected, why would any other user ever need to modify the template? It would be static data, would it not? —'''[[User:Hexagon Theory|hexagon]][[User_talk:Hexagon Theory|THEORY]]''' 00:26, 15 November 2010 (UTC)
:::::People make mistakes in entering the data, and often it won't get noticed for a while. And it's still a very big switch, as it would need 493 possibilities. Switch size for the server load is mainly determined by the number of different outcomes available, not the size of the input itself. Putting it into that template as a permanent switch like that would cause massive load on the server, and could potentially cause them to crash. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 00:50, 15 November 2010 (UTC)
::::::I'm not sure you fully understand how the #switch functionality works on a wiki, but I'm nearly positive it doesn't require a call to the server. All it does is check a value given to it and display responses based on this value. To implement the new Exp. yields, all we would be doing is passing the '''ndex''' value, which it takes from having already been declared in the template, to a switch and displaying the corresponding number. As for people inputting incorrect data, you don't seem to have caught on to the fact that I already have this data; in fact, I've already updated the [[List of Pokémon by effort value yield]] to reflect the new numbers. I like the idea of having Bulbapedia be consistent and up-to-date with its information, and that's why I'm interested in having the new numbers put up; still, I'd like for it to be done in the most efficient way possible, and that certainly doesn't mean doing it manually. [[http://pastehtml.com/view/1bxak7s.txt Here]] is the switch case as it would need to go up somewhere in the PokémonInfobox template. Please, I implore you, drop it in (perhaps in the Battle Exp. area like you suggested, but maybe even in the actual Exp. field if you're as interested in having Bulbapedia be accurate as I am) and see if it causes any server issues. Assuming it does, I'd be happy to set something up to do it manually; if it doesn't mess anything up, however, it will be quite a joyous occasion to be able to say that Bulbapedia is striving ever closer to completion. —'''[[User:Hexagon Theory|hexagon]][[User_talk:Hexagon Theory|THEORY]]''' 01:15, 15 November 2010 (UTC)
:::::::I don't know the inner workings of the switch function, but what I do know is that we have been specifically told by none other than big boss [[Archaic]] that they have been determined to be problematic, and to avoid them where possible. I don't know if you were around for it, but the wiki was locked down in June as it was resulting in a 503 for about 9 out of every 10 page loads. That was largely because there used to be a switch in the roundy template, which was used everywhere. Once the switch was removed and the template broken into nine pieces as a result the issues pretty much went away. Theoretically, the switch should work fine. The servers unfortunately just aren't stable enough to have them everywhere. For the record, Bulbagarden has five servers, four of which are used for Bulbawiki (Bulbapedia, the Archives and Bulbanews). As a result I cannot and will not add that switch to the template. It will have to be a parameter. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 01:32, 15 November 2010 (UTC)

== BW015 ==

Hey werdnae, ok so for bw015 there was a character chart revealing all the pokemon and humans that would appear in this episode. This chart was revealed by sunnyshore and the source he got itt from is 100% confirmed real since he actually brought the artwork. He has also said that any one who is not on the character sheet will not be in the episode. Now I posted on the talkpage of this episode asking if it is ok for me to add these people and pokemon to the page yesterday. Since then there has beenn no response so I just put them in there but posted again on the talkpage stating why I did so. About an hour later I checked back and someone had reverted the changes but there was still no answers in the talkpage. I was wondering if you could take a look at it. The character chart is on bulbagarden and serebii forums and is in the bw015 thread. Thanks before hand :)[[User:1rkhachatryan|RBK]] 02:49, 8 December 2010 (UTC)
:I've added it back in. It's kind of a shaky ground area. We like to wait for it to air, but then we're normally going off previews, which are known to troll. I don't think we've ever managed to get a character sheet like that which has an actual episode on it before. I left most of the reasoning in the relevant section that ended up on your talk page anyway, so I'm sure you already know most of this.

:It should work now. The problem was that it was using the national dex number to determine whether there was a Pokémon there by determining whether it's value was greater than zero (which was also the default). It broke down when a letter was entered, as it can only do maths with numbers. I've removed the default from that bit and changed it so that it doesn't use a maths function. In other words, do exactly what you were doing before, and now it should work. (I hope). [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 01:26, 10 December 2010 (UTC)

:Is there like. . . a combined sprite for the tag battles, or are they just two separate sprites like in Gen IV? I haven't played BW.

:Images used in articles must be uploaded to the [[a:Main Page|Bulbagarden Archives]], rather than hotlinked from other sites. At the moment we have the English poster from Pokemon.com, which is a bit small to put in the infobox IMO, so I've just added it to the gallery. In general, an image can be added to an article by typing <nowiki>[[File:image name.extension|thumb|right|caption|200px]]</nowiki>, except when the image is smaller than 200px wide, in which case that bit should be left out.

Hi Werdnae! I helped edit [[PS025]], so when you have time, can you please check it for me to see if it sounds right? And also, when does an article becomes an actual article, not a stub? Are there requirements or something? I feel really stupid right now because I don't know anything about this! Please give me some tips as well! And when do you get a user page? How do sign a post? O.O I think I did it wrong... [[User:Eeveelutions!|Eeveelutions!]] 17:04, 23 December 2010 (UTC)
: Also how to you indent for new paragraphs? [[User:Eeveelutions!|Eeveelutions!]] 19:15, 23 December 2010 (UTC)
::PS025 looks good to me. As does PS052, for which you wrote the synopsis. Just remember to use the {{template|m}} template for moves and the preview button and you'll be sorted. There isn't really a specific list of requirements for the stub notice to be removed from an article, but generally for manga rounds/chapters and anime episodes it gets removed once the synopsis has been written. It's always okay to check if you aren't sure though. You've been signing your posts correctly, so I think you've got that sorted.

::I don't know the exact number of edits required for you to create a userpage, but you could give it a go now if you like, you may have enough edits. You've certainly passed the time requirement. If it still doesn't let you, just check occasionally.

::For new paragraphs in articles, standard practice is to leave a blank line (i.e. hit enter twice), which is the wikicode for a new paragraph. Indenting for replies on talk pages is done with a colon like you just did.

::As for tips... If you don't know something or aren't sure of something, just ask like you have been. There's nothing wrong with it, and it's easier for us to tell you how to do it than to correct the same mistake easily. If you see some code that you don't know what it does, try copying the section of code, preview, and then remove a bit and preview again. Whatever breaks is what the bit you just removed does. Other than that, just look at what was done on similar articles and copy the style/format.

== Pokémon XD obtainable Pokémon ==

To be honest, that was a rough solution as to not cover the 2/3 of the page with just the obtainable Pokémon. I personally believe the article looked better with the section moved into a new page, but I guess it looks okay this way too. That said, the list of the obtainable Pokémon would still be reasonable to be moved into a different page for not only convenience, but also the content's nature (too specific to fit into a mostly general information article about the game), albeit the rest of sections are yet to expanded. Either way, do as you please, I just wanted to explain myself! :P [[User:Ash Pokemaster|Ash_Pokemaster]] 00:43, 18 January 2011 (UTC)

[[[[User:Misdreavous525|Misdreavous525]] 00:41, 18 February 2011 (UTC)]]

It will display as a permission error on the Archives (which it looks like you may have seen already). There isn't anything I can do to change that, however I believe the system will change it automatically a couple of weeks after you first log in on the Archives. It's an anti-vandalism measure.

== Spelling ==

What is your policy exactly? I already know the spelling of every Pokemon's name by heart so we shouldn't have redirects? They ''don't hurt anything''. They barely cause any overhead. There are over 40,000 google results for Roggenrolla and over 110,000 for Ratata + Pokemon. [[User:Thelonesoldier|Thelonesoldier]] 11:22, 20 May 2011 (UTC)
:Pretty much we don't redirect for misspellings. If you would like to discuss it with other admins that's fine, but I don't think we need them. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 11:48, 20 May 2011 (UTC)

== Romanization ==

I'm trying to romanize the Japanese name of [[Pretty Petal Flower Shop]]. The kana is フラワーショップサン・トウカ, with a direct (and translated) romanization being "Flower Shop San Touka". I've found that certain locations, like San Marino or San Francisco, are translated and spelled in kana like San Touka here. However, ''san'' can also mean "Sun" and ''touka'' "lamplight" or "transmission". Thus, I was wondering what would be the most fitting interpretation, in order to use a correct romanization, and would like to ask for your assistance. [[User:Pokemon lover|ポケモン]][[User talk:Pokemon lover|あいこうか]] 16:46, 22 August 2010 (UTC)
:To me it reads like "san" is supposed to be "saint," so the romanization that I personally would go with would be "St. Touka." I'm not so sure, though; we could probably do with more insight. [[User:Umeko|梅子]][[User talk:Umeko|❀]][[Special:Contributions/Umeko|✿]] 19:34, 22 August 2010 (UTC)
::Well, it makes sense, as Touka seems to be a given name of someone or something. I wasn't aware that "saint" was also a meaning for ''san'', though. Mind if I add the romanization you suggested? We can always change it later if greater insight proves it necessary but "St. Touka" seems reasonable to me. [[User:Pokemon lover|ポケモン]][[User talk:Pokemon lover|あいこうか]] 20:00, 22 August 2010 (UTC)
:::Yeah, "san" is a loanword from Spanish (I believe; either that or Italian, probably), so while we could just go with "San" a la San Marino and San Fransisco, I think it's clearer if we go the extra mile and make it "saint." :V I am definitely open to other opinions though, if anyone is watching this discussion. [[User:Umeko|梅子]][[User talk:Umeko|❀]][[Special:Contributions/Umeko|✿]] 20:39, 22 August 2010 (UTC)

==Transliteration/Romanisation==
Hello, Umeko.
Is it possible to have translations and transliterations on pages, rather than one or the other?
Recently, I attempted to add some transliterations to a few pages (i.e. Protect), which were removed, even though I did not delete the original translation, but instead added the transliteration too (in this case mamoru, in italics next to the Japanese equivalent "まもる".)

I thought that this would be perhaps helpful and perhaps a little more interesting for those Pokémon fans who wish to learn the Japanese names for Pokémon, places, characters, etc.

I would be more than happy to help in any way possible,
samscarb
:Considering they're in katakana or hiragana already, the stuff should be simple to read if you know that. Kanji should of course have a furigana {{template|tt}}'d over it, like ポケットモンスターＳＰＥＣＩＡＬ金・銀 with "きん" and　"ぎん" on the kanji for Gold and Silver.

In the [[Gym Leader]] page, why is it necessary to have Aloe's row duplicated? Or the 3rd leader's sprite using Aloe's name temporarily, for the matter? --[[User:Kaoz|Kaoz]] 19:42, 15 September 2010 (UTC)
:The third Gym Leader sprite is using Aloe's name temporarily because we don't know his/her name, so there's nothing to replace it with. Aloe's row is "duplicated" because the first one, which is visible now, has the bottom roundied, since it is currently the last one in the table. It will not be the last in the table once the others are made viewable, however, and when that happens it will have square corners on the bottom - which is that the "duplicate" is coded to do. So once the time comes to make all the leaders viewable, the first "duplicate" will simply be deleted.

Over all 191 episodes, Piplup never evolved, not even to Prinplup, even though it should have long been an Empoleon by the end of DP! And not only did it never evolve, but the animators ''completely'' alienated the fanbase by giving Piplup that Everstone.

== Like I said ==

The wording I revised, and there wasn't much if anything, was the things that, if you notice, give the reader the feeling that Isshu is New York. This, however, is not confirmed by anyone that actually have the authority to confirm it. The interview on Nintendo.co.jp and blog 177 on Game Freak's blog directly say : "New York is Isshu's motif". If you'll notice how many times I've pointed out that Motif does not mean Basis/Model/Stage, you would also notice how neutral I made the text while maintaining the statement "Isshu uses New York as it's motif". Please understand that I'm not saying it is not possible for Game Freak to come out later and outright say "New York is Isshu". I'm just saying it hasn't been said ''yet''. And frankly, I want Bulbapedia to be as accurate as possible. --[[User:Mackinz|Mackinz of SoulSilver]] 02:40, 5 October 2010 (UTC)

:Keep your bullshit off my talkpage. You're pushing the English nuances of the word "motif" when the meaning of the Japanese loanword isn't necessarily the same.

[[User:Umeko|梅子]][[User talk:Umeko|❀]][[Special:Contributions/Umeko|✿]] 02:45, 5 October 2010 (UTC)
::First of all, to PokeLova: ::The '''Isshu''' region (Japanese: '''イッシュ地方''' ''Isshu-chihō'') is a large area of the [[Pokémon world]] and the setting of the [[Generation V|fifth generation]] Pokémon games {{game|Black and White|s}}. It is far away from the four other large regions, and the Pokémon which inhabit Isshu are diverse and different from those of [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], [[Hoenn]], and [[Sinnoh]]. In his director's column, '''[[Junichi Masuda]] suggested that the geographical and social background for Isshu draws inspiration from {{wp|New York City}}''', although the region features rural locations as well as industrial.

::In this case, the bolded is something I checked up on. I did not see the things that were stated in this paragraph. Although, my Japanese is not perfect so maybe I did miss it.

::Although some of Isshu is '''geographically based on New York, the creators of the region took some liberties in regards to the surrounding areas.''' Clearly, the largest city in Isshu, [[Hiun City]], is based on {{wp|Lower Manhattan}}, but to the immediate north of Hiun is '''(as opposed to a continuing metropolis as in real life)''' a [[Resort Desert|vast desert]]. To the east and west of the region are large mountains. Isshu also contains many rural settlements.

::In this case, however, the bolded shows exactly the parts that '''aren't''' neutral and that I changed to neutral.

::Compare:

::Although Isshu's basis is not truly known, the creators of the region ensured us varying terrain. Clearly, the largest city in Isshu, [[Hiun City]], draws inspiration from {{wp|Lower Manhattan}}, but to the immediate north of Hiun is a [[Resort Desert|vast desert]]. To the east and west of the region are large mountains. Isshu also contains many rural settlements.

::Now to Umeko:

:::Keep your bullshit off my talkpage. You're pushing the English nuances of the word "motif" when the meaning of the Japanese loanword isn't necessarily the same. Furthermore, you aren't doing this out of respect for Bulbapedia's accuracy, but for your own personal grudge. Now drop it and kindly get your head out of your ass. [[User:Umeko|梅子]][[User talk:Umeko|❀]][[Special:Contributions/Umeko|✿]] 02:45, 5 October 2010 (UTC)

::Please note, I'm not trying to start an argument with you here. You are unnecessarily angry with me. However, you are wrong. The nuances of the word motif come with the word no matter the context. The fact that motif was used proves it was meant to be used in the way it is defined. If it wasn't meant to be used the way it is defined, why would he even bother using it? Would a native Japanese speaker feel inclined to use a loanword if there's a native Japanese word that essentially means the same in his eyes? No, he would not. Junichi Masuda did not use the Japanese word "stage" like he did for Hoenn when he made the statement on the interview. He used the English loanword Motif.

::Now, my own personal grudge? Frankly, I'm keeping all of my personal beliefs about Isshu out of this discussion. There was that one time where someone asked me where I think Isshu is based off and I said it then, but I did not mention it before that or after that question ever again.

::Now please, if there are any official sources that have confirmed something beyond the level of "motif" for Isshu, post them, let me read them, and I will stop my crusade. If not, the neutral version is the one that should be used as it is more accurate to my knowledge.

== "Honor" Shrine ==

HoennMaster suggested that I confer with you about the mistranslation on the Fertility Shrine page since you are apparently knowledgeable about Japanese as well. As you presumably know, ほうじょう is clearly "fertility," and yet someone has arbitrarily changed the name of the page to "Honor Shrine." Do you know of the reasoning behind this? [[User:Kamen no Otoko|Kamen no Otoko]] 06:31, 27 October 2010 (UTC)
:We're working on it. I don't actually agree with the translation "fertility," but it doesn't belong at "Honor Shrine." [[User:Umeko|梅子]][[User talk:Umeko|❀]][[Special:Contributions/Umeko|✿]] 07:10, 27 October 2010 (UTC)
::Wait, I'm confused: I know that the game doesn't use kanji for the name, and there may technically be other homonymous compounds (albeit highly uncommon or strictly literary in nature). But--given Landlos' classification and Pokédex entries--isn't "fertility" the only logical translation? Moreover, these games are essentially aimed at kids. I've seen what 10-year-olds learn, and I can just about guarantee that no 10-year-old is going to be able to read 豊穣 unless written with furigana or simply sans kanji altogether. I'm likewise doubtful that many kids will recognize the word ほうじょう at that age; so when a kid asks his or her parent「ほうじょうって何？」do you really think that the first thing that comes to the adult's mind will be something like 芳情? I guess I'm just curious as to what makes you disagree with the translation. 教えて頂ければありがたいですが。 [[User:Kamen no Otoko|Kamen no Otoko]] 12:26, 27 October 2010 (UTC)
:::I only said that I disagree with "fertility." I specifically said that I also ''disagree'' with "honor," so please don't be putting words in my mouth. 豊穣 refers more to the abundance of resulting crops, not to the state of the land/soil which the crops have been harvested on, so I don't feel that "fertility" is the appropriate translation here. (Also, at times like these I tend to ask myself "what would NoA do?" when considering translations - please don't lash out at me for this anyone, I do believe my reasoning for doing so is sound - and I highly, ''highly'' doubt that they'd go for "fertility.") Like I said, ''we are working on deciding on the best option'', just give us time to consider the options and come to an agreement. [[User:Umeko|梅子]][[User talk:Umeko|❀]][[Special:Contributions/Umeko|✿]] 18:38, 27 October 2010 (UTC)
::::Perhaps I misunderstood what you meant by "it doesn't belong at 'Honor Shrine.'" To be fair, the homonymous 豊饒 (not the difference in the second kanji) has precisely the nuance for which you seem to be looking. And I'm not "lashing out": I acknowledge your thought process behind "translations," but doesn't that bleed more into the realm of ''localization''? In that sense, wouldn't it be more appropriate to render the Japanese faithfully and leave the "official" localization to NoA, seeing as it will be changed once the English games are released, anyhow? Personally, I don't see an issue with the use of the word "fertility" as it is the most accurate, linguistically speaking.
::::Also, who, precisely, is in charge of making these sorts of decisions? I'm just curious as to what kind of discourse occurs regarding issues of translation and the like. [[User:Kamen no Otoko|Kamen no Otoko]] 18:51, 27 October 2010 (UTC)

== Project Battrio ==

Hi Umeko. Just to let you know, as I am sure you are aware from conversations with Nate, that I am planning to join in with Project Battrio. My contributions with regards to individual pucks will be limited to the info actually on the puck, as I don't have any of the perfect guides, save for a few scans. If you want to advise where the best place to start would be, as I don't want to step on anyone's toes. 
I also had a thought with regards to the latest expansion - not sure how you might approach it. To save adding more parameters to the BattrioInfobox for pucks with two movesets, just keeping the types relevant to the types on the art would be simpler, as I believe the Def type for all dual pucks is the same for both options. So for example, Mewtwo would have Psychic Def and Fighting Atk, but would have separate attack and puck data boxes for each option. Sound decent?

Hey Umeko —

Do we have some kind of Battrio navigation template like <code>[[Template:PokémonPrevNextHead|<nowiki>{{PokémonPrevNextHead}}</nowiki>]]</code> or any of the templates in {{cat|PrevNext templates|here}}? If not, I would be happy to make one and run it by you. '''chief[[User:Chiefboz|boz]]''' • [[User talk:Chiefboz|talk]] 22:43, 26 May 2011 (UTC)
:What would such templates be used for? We don't have them, but I'm not understanding why we would need them. XD [[User:Umeko|梅子]][[User talk:Umeko|❄]][[Special:Contributions/Umeko|❅]] 23:24, 26 May 2011 (UTC)
::Navigation between pucks, similar to how we do it on the Pokémon pages. '''chief[[User:Chiefboz|boz]]''' • [[User talk:Chiefboz|talk]] 23:32, 26 May 2011 (UTC)
::Elaborating on that: In the Pokémon navbars you click left and right to go backwards and forwards through the National Pokédex. In these it would be similar, going backwards and forwards through the Battrio series. (so if you're on [[Dialga (01-001)]], you can click the right arrow to go to [[Palkia (01-002)]] and the left arrow brings you to the end of the set, [[Pichu (01-036)]].) Again, mostly for navigation between adjacent pucks for viewers to browse through a set, and for editors to quickly jump between without having to reload five pages. '''chief[[User:Chiefboz|boz]]''' • [[User talk:Chiefboz|talk]] 23:39, 26 May 2011 (UTC)
:::Hmm, I dunno. There's no equivalent for card pages, so I don't see why pucks should be treated any differently. I'll think about it; for now you can make the template in your userspace. We'll see where it goes from there. [[User:Umeko|梅子]][[User talk:Umeko|❀]][[Special:Contributions/Umeko|✿]] 00:21, 27 May 2011 (UTC)

:::::I think it is a bad idea. Just weighing in. It was always unnecessary in my opinion. You could go to the set page for navigation, or the category.

== Romanization ==

I'm trying to romanize the Japanese name of [[Pretty Petal Flower Shop]]. The kana is フラワーショップサン・トウカ, with a direct (and translated) romanization being "Flower Shop San Touka". I've found that certain locations, like San Marino or San Francisco, are translated and spelled in kana like San Touka here. However, ''san'' can also mean "Sun" and ''touka'' "lamplight" or "transmission". Thus, I was wondering what would be the most fitting interpretation, in order to use a correct romanization, and would like to ask for your assistance. [[User:Pokemon lover|ポケモン]][[User talk:Pokemon lover|あいこうか]] 16:46, 22 August 2010 (UTC)
:To me it reads like "san" is supposed to be "saint," so the romanization that I personally would go with would be "St. Touka." I'm not so sure, though; we could probably do with more insight. [[User:Umeko|梅子]][[User talk:Umeko|❀]][[Special:Contributions/Umeko|✿]] 19:34, 22 August 2010 (UTC)
::Well, it makes sense, as Touka seems to be a given name of someone or something. I wasn't aware that "saint" was also a meaning for ''san'', though. Mind if I add the romanization you suggested? We can always change it later if greater insight proves it necessary but "St. Touka" seems reasonable to me. [[User:Pokemon lover|ポケモン]][[User talk:Pokemon lover|あいこうか]] 20:00, 22 August 2010 (UTC)
:::Yeah, "san" is a loanword from Spanish (I believe; either that or Italian, probably), so while we could just go with "San" a la San Marino and San Fransisco, I think it's clearer if we go the extra mile and make it "saint." :V I am definitely open to other opinions though, if anyone is watching this discussion.

==Transliteration/Romanisation==
Hello, Umeko.
Is it possible to have translations and transliterations on pages, rather than one or the other?
Recently, I attempted to add some transliterations to a few pages (i.e. Protect), which were removed, even though I did not delete the original translation, but instead added the transliteration too (in this case mamoru, in italics next to the Japanese equivalent "まもる".)

I thought that this would be perhaps helpful and perhaps a little more interesting for those Pokémon fans who wish to learn the Japanese names for Pokémon, places, characters, etc.

I would be more than happy to help in any way possible,
samscarb

JAPという言葉を使用する人がいたんだけど、誰も注意しないんだよね。権限持ってる人にアクセス禁止とか制裁してもらえないでしょうか？それともJAPという言葉はアメリカの掲示板であるBULBAPEDIAでは大した言葉ではないんですかね？英語できてポケモン好きな日系人の子供とかが、ふとしたきっかけてああいう差別語見たら心が傷つくと思うんだよね。[[User:Sawamular101|Sawamular101]] 13:16, 2 September 2010 (UTC)

== Explain please ==

In the [[Gym Leader]] page, why is it necessary to have Aloe's row duplicated? Or the 3rd leader's sprite using Aloe's name temporarily, for the matter? --[[User:Kaoz|Kaoz]] 19:42, 15 September 2010 (UTC)
:The third Gym Leader sprite is using Aloe's name temporarily because we don't know his/her name, so there's nothing to replace it with. Aloe's row is "duplicated" because the first one, which is visible now, has the bottom roundied, since it is currently the last one in the table. It will not be the last in the table once the others are made viewable, however, and when that happens it will have square corners on the bottom - which is that the "duplicate" is coded to do. So once the time comes to make all the leaders viewable, the first "duplicate" will simply be deleted.

You really seem to know all the olgliarchs in Bulbapedia...[[User:TheRevived|TheRevived]] 04:16, 29 September 2010 (UTC)
:Basically, Bulbapedia talkpages, even user talkpages, aren't for irrelevant chatting such as that. Such discussions can be brought to the forums or email. And even if such discussion were allowed on talkpages, speculating about old trolls revolting on us really isn't productive.
:Honestly, you shouldn't have kept reverting us when we removed your message to TTE. Just because you really want something doesn't mean it's going to happen. Think about it, pretty much the entire fanbase wanted Dawn's Piplup to evolve, but did it ever happen? No! Over all 191 episodes, Piplup never evolved, not even to Prinplup, even though it should have long been an Empoleon by the end of DP! And not only did it never evolve, but the animators ''completely'' alienated the fanbase by giving Piplup that Everstone. They did this even though every single fan, without exception, wanted Piplup to evolve. They just don't care about the fans at all.

== Like I said ==

The wording I revised, and there wasn't much if anything, was the things that, if you notice, give the reader the feeling that Isshu is New York. This, however, is not confirmed by anyone that actually have the authority to confirm it. The interview on Nintendo.co.jp and blog 177 on Game Freak's blog directly say : "New York is Isshu's motif". If you'll notice how many times I've pointed out that Motif does not mean Basis/Model/Stage, you would also notice how neutral I made the text while maintaining the statement "Isshu uses New York as it's motif". Please understand that I'm not saying it is not possible for Game Freak to come out later and outright say "New York is Isshu". I'm just saying it hasn't been said ''yet''. And frankly, I want Bulbapedia to be as accurate as possible. --[[User:Mackinz|Mackinz of SoulSilver]] 02:40, 5 October 2010 (UTC)

:Keep your bullshit off my talkpage. You're pushing the English nuances of the word "motif" when the meaning of the Japanese loanword isn't necessarily the same. Furthermore, you aren't doing this out of respect for Bulbapedia's accuracy, but for your own personal grudge. Now drop it and kindly get your head out of your ass. [[User:Umeko|梅子]][[User talk:Umeko|❀]][[Special:Contributions/Umeko|✿]] 02:45, 5 October 2010 (UTC)
::First of all, to PokeLova: ::The '''Isshu''' region (Japanese: '''イッシュ地方''' ''Isshu-chihō'') is a large area of the [[Pokémon world]] and the setting of the [[Generation V|fifth generation]] Pokémon games {{game|Black and White|s}}. It is far away from the four other large regions, and the Pokémon which inhabit Isshu are diverse and different from those of [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], [[Hoenn]], and [[Sinnoh]]. In his director's column, '''[[Junichi Masuda]] suggested that the geographical and social background for Isshu draws inspiration from {{wp|New York City}}''', although the region features rural locations as well as industrial.

::In this case, the bolded is something I checked up on. I did not see the things that were stated in this paragraph. Although, my Japanese is not perfect so maybe I did miss it.

::Although some of Isshu is '''geographically based on New York, the creators of the region took some liberties in regards to the surrounding areas.''' Clearly, the largest city in Isshu, [[Hiun City]], is based on {{wp|Lower Manhattan}}, but to the immediate north of Hiun is '''(as opposed to a continuing metropolis as in real life)''' a [[Resort Desert|vast desert]]. To the east and west of the region are large mountains. Isshu also contains many rural settlements.

::In this case, however, the bolded shows exactly the parts that '''aren't''' neutral and that I changed to neutral.

::Compare:

::Although Isshu's basis is not truly known, the creators of the region ensured us varying terrain. Clearly, the largest city in Isshu, [[Hiun City]], draws inspiration from {{wp|Lower Manhattan}}, but to the immediate north of Hiun is a [[Resort Desert|vast desert]]. To the east and west of the region are large mountains. Isshu also contains many rural settlements.

::Now to Umeko:

:::Keep your bullshit off my talkpage. You're pushing the English nuances of the word "motif" when the meaning of the Japanese loanword isn't necessarily the same. Furthermore, you aren't doing this out of respect for Bulbapedia's accuracy, but for your own personal grudge. Now drop it and kindly get your head out of your ass. [[User:Umeko|梅子]][[User talk:Umeko|❀]][[Special:Contributions/Umeko|✿]] 02:45, 5 October 2010 (UTC)

::Please note, I'm not trying to start an argument with you here. You are unnecessarily angry with me. However, you are wrong. The nuances of the word motif come with the word no matter the context. The fact that motif was used proves it was meant to be used in the way it is defined. If it wasn't meant to be used the way it is defined, why would he even bother using it? Would a native Japanese speaker feel inclined to use a loanword if there's a native Japanese word that essentially means the same in his eyes? No, he would not. Junichi Masuda did not use the Japanese word "stage" like he did for Hoenn when he made the statement on the interview. He used the English loanword Motif.

::Now, my own personal grudge? Frankly, I'm keeping all of my personal beliefs about Isshu out of this discussion. There was that one time where someone asked me where I think Isshu is based off and I said it then, but I did not mention it before that or after that question ever again.

::Now please, if there are any official sources that have confirmed something beyond the level of "motif" for Isshu, post them, let me read them, and I will stop my crusade. If not, the neutral version is the one that should be used as it is more accurate to my knowledge.

== "Honor" Shrine ==

HoennMaster suggested that I confer with you about the mistranslation on the Fertility Shrine page since you are apparently knowledgeable about Japanese as well. As you presumably know, ほうじょう is clearly "fertility," and yet someone has arbitrarily changed the name of the page to "Honor Shrine." Do you know of the reasoning behind this? [[User:Kamen no Otoko|Kamen no Otoko]] 06:31, 27 October 2010 (UTC)
:We're working on it. I don't actually agree with the translation "fertility," but it doesn't belong at "Honor Shrine." [[User:Umeko|梅子]][[User talk:Umeko|❀]][[Special:Contributions/Umeko|✿]] 07:10, 27 October 2010 (UTC)
::Wait, I'm confused: I know that the game doesn't use kanji for the name, and there may technically be other homonymous compounds (albeit highly uncommon or strictly literary in nature). But--given Landlos' classification and Pokédex entries--isn't "fertility" the only logical translation? Moreover, these games are essentially aimed at kids. I've seen what 10-year-olds learn, and I can just about guarantee that no 10-year-old is going to be able to read 豊穣 unless written with furigana or simply sans kanji altogether. I'm likewise doubtful that many kids will recognize the word ほうじょう at that age; so when a kid asks his or her parent「ほうじょうって何？」do you really think that the first thing that comes to the adult's mind will be something like 芳情? I guess I'm just curious as to what makes you disagree with the translation. 教えて頂ければありがたいですが。 [[User:Kamen no Otoko|Kamen no Otoko]] 12:26, 27 October 2010 (UTC)
:::I only said that I disagree with "fertility." I specifically said that I also ''disagree'' with "honor," so please don't be putting words in my mouth. 豊穣 refers more to the abundance of resulting crops, not to the state of the land/soil which the crops have been harvested on, so I don't feel that "fertility" is the appropriate translation here. (Also, at times like these I tend to ask myself "what would NoA do?" when considering translations - please don't lash out at me for this anyone, I do believe my reasoning for doing so is sound - and I highly, ''highly'' doubt that they'd go for "fertility.") Like I said, ''we are working on deciding on the best option'', just give us time to consider the options and come to an agreement. [[User:Umeko|梅子]][[User talk:Umeko|❀]][[Special:Contributions/Umeko|✿]] 18:38, 27 October 2010 (UTC)
::::Perhaps I misunderstood what you meant by "it doesn't belong at 'Honor Shrine.'" To be fair, the homonymous 豊饒 (not the difference in the second kanji) has precisely the nuance for which you seem to be looking. And I'm not "lashing out": I acknowledge your thought process behind "translations," but doesn't that bleed more into the realm of ''localization''? In that sense, wouldn't it be more appropriate to render the Japanese faithfully and leave the "official" localization to NoA, seeing as it will be changed once the English games are released, anyhow? Personally, I don't see an issue with the use of the word "fertility" as it is the most accurate, linguistically speaking.
::::Also, who, precisely, is in charge of making these sorts of decisions? I'm just curious as to what kind of discourse occurs regarding issues of translation and the like. [[User:Kamen no Otoko|Kamen no Otoko]] 18:51, 27 October 2010 (UTC)
:::::I wasn't saying that you would lash out at me, I simply placed that there for anyone else who might read this and think that it's absolutely horrendous that I do such a thing. (These people do exist.)
:::::I realize that that homophonous term does exist; however, it is indeed 豊穣 that Japanese fans have been using, and I have not once seen them use 豊饒, thus why I still disagree with "fertility."

== Project Battrio ==

Hi Umeko. Just to let you know, as I am sure you are aware from conversations with Nate, that I am planning to join in with Project Battrio. My contributions with regards to individual pucks will be limited to the info actually on the puck, as I don't have any of the perfect guides, save for a few scans. If you want to advise where the best place to start would be, as I don't want to step on anyone's toes. 
I also had a thought with regards to the latest expansion - not sure how you might approach it. To save adding more parameters to the BattrioInfobox for pucks with two movesets, just keeping the types relevant to the types on the art would be simpler, as I believe the Def type for all dual pucks is the same for both options. So for example, Mewtwo would have Psychic Def and Fighting Atk, but would have separate attack and puck data boxes for each option. Sound decent?

Do we have some kind of Battrio navigation template like <code>[[Template:PokémonPrevNextHead|<nowiki>{{PokémonPrevNextHead}}</nowiki>]]</code> or any of the templates in {{cat|PrevNext templates|here}}? If not, I would be happy to make one and run it by you. '''chief[[User:Chiefboz|boz]]''' • [[User talk:Chiefboz|talk]] 22:43, 26 May 2011 (UTC)

::Navigation between pucks, similar to how we do it on the Pokémon pages. '''chief[[User:Chiefboz|boz]]''' • [[User talk:Chiefboz|talk]] 23:32, 26 May 2011 (UTC)
::Elaborating on that: In the Pokémon navbars you click left and right to go backwards and forwards through the National Pokédex. In these it would be similar, going backwards and forwards through the Battrio series. (so if you're on [[Dialga (01-001)]], you can click the right arrow to go to [[Palkia (01-002)]] and the left arrow brings you to the end of the set, [[Pichu (01-036)]].)

== Regarding Generation V Experience Yields... ==

Nearly every single Pokémon had its Experience yield modified in some way in Generation V; any ideas regarding how to get this data into the system without having to hand-modify almost 500 Pokémon pages? The only thing I could think of was a massive switch case; while it would be stupid ugly, it would get the job done much more efficiently. What do you think about the matter? —'''[[User:Hexagon Theory|hexagon]][[User_talk:Hexagon Theory|THEORY]]''' 05:48, 14 November 2010 (UTC)
:The EV yield remains the same, right? If so the new Exp. yield could potentially replace the Battle Exp. part of the infobox - that number itself is just a formula of the Base, with the box taking up the whole width for Gen IV Pokémon (or it could have a -- like the dex numbers section). Unless the new yields are mathematically related to the old ones through a single formula then there's no way to get around adding it to the pages for all 493 Pokémon that need it unfortunately. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 09:27, 14 November 2010 (UTC)
::I do think that the Battle Exp. could be done away with. However, I still don't understand why it would have to be manually added; why couldn't a huge switch case be used in the template to provide the correct Exp. yield based on the National Dex number? —'''[[User:Hexagon Theory|hexagon]][[User_talk:Hexagon Theory|THEORY]]''' 20:15, 14 November 2010 (UTC)
:::Huge switches (i.e. those with many outcomes) require a lot of server resources and cause stability issues. That's why templates have parameters, rather than just a pagename switcher. It also means that if, say, someone makes a mistake putting it in, people who notice can just fix it. Since high-use templates get protected (again, mainly to reduce server stress) they wouldn't be able to if it was just a template with a giant switch. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 20:24, 14 November 2010 (UTC)
::::Erm, the switch case would only need to take into account the parameter passed as the National Dex and then display the correct Exp. yield accordingly; that's not server-intensive at all; it doesn't have to access any other data on the server. As for being protected, why would any other user ever need to modify the template? It would be static data, would it not? —'''[[User:Hexagon Theory|hexagon]][[User_talk:Hexagon Theory|THEORY]]''' 00:26, 15 November 2010 (UTC)
:::::People make mistakes in entering the data, and often it won't get noticed for a while. And it's still a very big switch, as it would need 493 possibilities. Switch size for the server load is mainly determined by the number of different outcomes available, not the size of the input itself. Putting it into that template as a permanent switch like that would cause massive load on the server, and could potentially cause them to crash. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 00:50, 15 November 2010 (UTC)
::::::I'm not sure you fully understand how the #switch functionality works on a wiki, but I'm nearly positive it doesn't require a call to the server. All it does is check a value given to it and display responses based on this value. To implement the new Exp. yields, all we would be doing is passing the '''ndex''' value, which it takes from having already been declared in the template, to a switch and displaying the corresponding number. As for people inputting incorrect data, you don't seem to have caught on to the fact that I already have this data; in fact, I've already updated the [[List of Pokémon by effort value yield]] to reflect the new numbers. I like the idea of having Bulbapedia be consistent and up-to-date with its information, and that's why I'm interested in having the new numbers put up; still, I'd like for it to be done in the most efficient way possible, and that certainly doesn't mean doing it manually. [[http://pastehtml.com/view/1bxak7s.txt Here]] is the switch case as it would need to go up somewhere in the PokémonInfobox template. Please, I implore you, drop it in (perhaps in the Battle Exp. area like you suggested, but maybe even in the actual Exp. field if you're as interested in having Bulbapedia be accurate as I am) and see if it causes any server issues. Assuming it does, I'd be happy to set something up to do it manually; if it doesn't mess anything up, however, it will be quite a joyous occasion to be able to say that Bulbapedia is striving ever closer to completion. —'''[[User:Hexagon Theory|hexagon]][[User_talk:Hexagon Theory|THEORY]]''' 01:15, 15 November 2010 (UTC)
:::::::I don't know the inner workings of the switch function, but what I do know is that we have been specifically told by none other than big boss [[Archaic]] that they have been determined to be problematic, and to avoid them where possible. I don't know if you were around for it, but the wiki was locked down in June as it was resulting in a 503 for about 9 out of every 10 page loads. That was largely because there used to be a switch in the roundy template, which was used everywhere. Once the switch was removed and the template broken into nine pieces as a result the issues pretty much went away. Theoretically, the switch should work fine.

== BW015 ==

Hey werdnae, ok so for bw015 there was a character chart revealing all the pokemon and humans that would appear in this episode. This chart was revealed by sunnyshore and the source he got itt from is 100% confirmed real since he actually brought the artwork. He has also said that any one who is not on the character sheet will not be in the episode. Now I posted on the talkpage of this episode asking if it is ok for me to add these people and pokemon to the page yesterday. Since then there has beenn no response so I just put them in there but posted again on the talkpage stating why I did so. About an hour later I checked back and someone had reverted the changes but there was still no answers in the talkpage. I was wondering if you could take a look at it. The character chart is on bulbagarden and serebii forums and is in the bw015 thread. Thanks before hand :)[[User:1rkhachatryan|RBK]] 02:49, 8 December 2010 (UTC)
:I've added it back in. It's kind of a shaky ground area. We like to wait for it to air, but then we're normally going off previews, which are known to troll. I don't think we've ever managed to get a character sheet like that which has an actual episode on it before. I left most of the reasoning in the relevant section that ended up on your talk page anyway, so I'm sure you already know most of this.

:It should work now. The problem was that it was using the national dex number to determine whether there was a Pokémon there by determining whether it's value was greater than zero (which was also the default). It broke down when a letter was entered, as it can only do maths with numbers. I've removed the default from that bit and changed it so that it doesn't use a maths function. In other words, do exactly what you were doing before, and now it should work. (I hope). [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 01:26, 10 December 2010 (UTC)

Are there requirements or something? I feel really stupid right now because I don't know anything about this! Please give me some tips as well! And when do you get a user page? How do sign a post? O.O I think I did it wrong... [[User:Eeveelutions!|Eeveelutions!]] 17:04, 23 December 2010 (UTC)
: Also how to you indent for new paragraphs? [[User:Eeveelutions!|Eeveelutions!]] 19:15, 23 December 2010 (UTC)
::PS025 looks good to me. As does PS052, for which you wrote the synopsis. Just remember to use the {{template|m}} template for moves and the preview button and you'll be sorted. There isn't really a specific list of requirements for the stub notice to be removed from an article, but generally for manga rounds/chapters and anime episodes it gets removed once the synopsis has been written. It's always okay to check if you aren't sure though. You've been signing your posts correctly, so I think you've got that sorted.

::I don't know the exact number of edits required for you to create a userpage, but you could give it a go now if you like, you may have enough edits. You've certainly passed the time requirement. If it still doesn't let you, just check occasionally.

::For new paragraphs in articles, standard practice is to leave a blank line (i.e. hit enter twice), which is the wikicode for a new paragraph. Indenting for replies on talk pages is done with a colon like you just did.

::As for tips... If you don't know something or aren't sure of something, just ask like you have been. There's nothing wrong with it, and it's easier for us to tell you how to do it than to correct the same mistake easily. If you see some code that you don't know what it does, try copying the section of code, preview, and then remove a bit and preview again. Whatever breaks is what the bit you just removed does. Other than that, just look at what was done on similar articles and copy the style/format.

::Well, according to trom the (Trainer class) must stay but we haven't had a response on whether to add it to the end of Team Rocket/Plasma Grunt. I am unable to move Literal ghost because, for me, the "move" function isn't at the top of the page, I'm not sure if the page is protected from being moved or what else it could be. So for the grunts we need a bit more clarification maybe from someone higher up like deth, and as for Literal ghost, someone needs to rather unblock it from being moved or, whoever has the ability to move it should move it.

In response to trom, yeah I think all of them should have the (Trainer class) part in order for the grunts to match the other articles, really there is no reason to NOT have the (Trainer class) part so if it's okay with everyone that means that "Team Plasma/Rocket Grunt" should have the (Tc) added; "Aqua/Magma Grunt" should be moved to "Team Aqua/Magma Grunt (Trainer class)"; And "Team Galactic (Trainer class)" can stay as is, am I correct? --[[User:Landfish7|'''Land''']][[User talk:Landfish7|'''fish7''']]''' 19:51, 30 December 2010 (UTC)

:I've had a look in the system, and it says that that account isn't currently blocked. If I try unblock it it says that there isn't a corresponding block that can be undone. The IP address isn't blocked either (and any IP block would have expired by now anyway.) Has the account been logged in the whole time? If it has it may not have registered the unblocking. Try logging out and logging back into that account again? Alternatively, if you know how to, clear your cookies and log back in. One of those should fix it. Also, what pages is your brother trying to edit that it doesn't let you? It may be that your brother is trying to edit a protected page.

Can you tell me how to make it or how many edits I need to do?

:You need to be a user for a certain time (which I don't know) and make a certain number of edits (which I also don't know). Keep going and you'll be able to edit it. When you can, just remember that your mainspace edits must always outnumber your userspace edits, as well as keeping your userspace edits to less than three a day or you will lost the ability again.

== Pokémon XD obtainable Pokémon ==

To be honest, that was a rough solution as to not cover the 2/3 of the page with just the obtainable Pokémon. I personally believe the article looked better with the section moved into a new page, but I guess it looks okay this way too. That said, the list of the obtainable Pokémon would still be reasonable to be moved into a different page for not only convenience, but also the content's nature (too specific to fit into a mostly general information article about the game), albeit the rest of sections are yet to expanded. Either way, do as you please, I just wanted to explain myself! :P [[User:Ash Pokemaster|Ash_Pokemaster]] 00:43, 18 January 2011 (UTC)
:Yeah, I realise that list is long, and I see where you're coming from. I didn't think that it was so long that it needed to be a completely separate page. To be completely honest, I'm not sure a list like that is needed in the mainspace at all. We don't do it for any other games, and it seems a bit. . . walkthrough/strategy guidey to me.

== Trivia for Pokemon Released Prior to their Game Release Date ==

Would it be possible to add when the Pokemon was revealed before any games (Like R/S, D/P and B/W)? Wailmer, Cacnea, Buizel, Drapion, Doryuzu are all examples of Pokemon released prior to their game release date.--Han Ji-Wan 07:23, 18 January 2011 (UTC)

::Yeah. It'd definitely have to be a page somewhere rather than trivia on the individual pages. There are just way too many for it to be noted on individual pages. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 07:34, 18 January 2011 (UTC)
:::So, do I have permission to create a page for it? Or should we discuss it first with the other staff members and editors?--Han Ji-Wan 16:05, 18 January 2011 (UTC)
::::Create it in your userspace (i.e. User:Han Ji-Wan/Pokémon released before their generation started or whatever you want the page to be called.) Once you have I'll put it [[User:Adyniz/Mainspace|here]] so that people know it's a potential mainspace page, and edits to it won't count towards your daily limit. (We do still require you to excercise restraint though. Something like 10 edits over the 24 hours is okay, more like 50 is not.) You can also add that as a navigation template by putting <nowiki>{{User:Adyniz/Mainspace}}</nowiki> on the bottom of the page. Once it's finished I can discuss with other admins about moving it to an appropriate mainspace location. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 18:51, 18 January 2011 (UTC)

::::::Yeah, go ahead and just put it in your userspace. The way SnorlaxMonster has it set up is a table. Wikicode for table parts can be found [[Bulbapedia:Wikicode#Tables|here]].

Hey Werdnae, I was wondering if I could have permission to overwrite the current regular sprites for B and W with the animated ones. Plz let me know

[[[[User:Misdreavous525|Misdreavous525]] 00:41, 18 February 2011 (UTC)]]
:Do you have an example? Since you just joined, you probably won't be able to upload over existing sprites yet. It will display as a permission error on the Archives (which it looks like you may have seen already). There isn't anything I can do to change that, however I believe the system will change it automatically a couple of weeks after you first log in on the Archives. It's an anti-vandalism measure. So if you give it a couple of weeks you should be able to. Sorry I can't do more and thanks for trying to help. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 04:10, 19 February 2011 (UTC)

==Prevo moves==
I'm now just about ready to go on this: I have a complete set of data now, and I can start adding it to the pages as soon as is convenient.

Aside from the remaining Gen I table, there's just one modification that I've found that I need: Just as the tables denote event moves with * and tutored moves with †, I've discovered that I'll also need to denote Dream World-exclusive moves... perhaps using ‡. I hope this isn't too complicated an addition to the code.

Thanks again for your help! [[User:Bikini Miltank|Bikini Miltank]] 07:35, 18 February 2011 (UTC)
:Okay, I'll get to moving the templates. Denoting Dream World exclusivity isn't too complicated. I'll add that when I move them to the templatespace.

:It's because of the number of sprites on the page. It wasn't a problem before BW, and I find it's only a problem now if you're trying to load a diff. You may need to go into your preferences and choose not to show the page beneath the diff. Hopefully it won't be too long before most of the remaining backsprites are uploaded/redrected, and it can get put into use.

== Bellsprout & Hoppip ==
Hello. I'm new to this wiki, and want to know if it's okay to post something. On the [[Bellsprout]] Pokédex page, it states that Bellsprout can be seen as a parallel to [[Oddish]]. I believe that Bellsprout can also be seen as a parallel to [[Hoppip]]. They are both part of a three stage evolutionary line, have grass as their primary type, and have a secondary type that is super effective against grass. I would like to contribute to this wiki as much as i can, so please tell me if it is necessary to do it.
[[User:Furretman111|Furretman111]] 21:22, 19 April 2011 (UTC)
:New comments to the bottom please. Hoppip and Bellsprout don't have as much in common as Oddish and Bellsprout. With the conditions you're proposing, you'd also have to add the {{p|Bulbasaur}} and {{p|Budew}} lines, and would only avoid adding the {{p|Sewaddle}} line by the strict mention of primary and secondary types. Sorry, I just don't think there are enough similarities between Hoppip and Bellsprout for it to be notable. If you'd like to help out, there's always the [[:Category:Stubs|stubs]] to be expanded.

It been like this since 26 March. I wonder if there's any problem with these articles. -- [[User:Ruixiang95|Ruixiang95]] 03:18, 22 April 2011 (UTC)
:It's because of the server load. It happens for any page if you are trying to view both the diff and the page content, where combined they become large enough to time out. The tech people are trying to see if there's anything they can do, but in the meantime, you can load the diff by going to your preferences and selecting the option to not show page content below the diff. For the move pages, we're also looking at a way to condense the lists of Pokemon that can learn it, as some pages, especially Sunny Day and Rain Dance, get occasional errors even when not viewing a diff.

== 94 gone? ==

um you just deleted a whole article on the glitch pokemon 94 that took me a hour to write, dont get what "''Gameshark only Gen I Pokemon don't get articles''" means. --[[User:Rsrdaman|Rsrdaman]] 02:59, 3 May 2011 (UTC)
:It means that if you can't encounter it without the use of a cheating device (any third-party device that must be plugged into the Game Boy), then it isn't notable enough for an article. This is because Gen I was so glitchy that there are too many glitches without cheating devices. Also, I suggest that in future when creating articles, check that there isn't a note above the editing pane that the article has previously been deleted. 94 had been deleted previously as it was not notable.
