== Japanese names, no english ==
Hi there! I have one little problem with some pages, because some of the pages that have the template <nowiki>{{Japanese name|rom}}</nowiki> ''do'' have the text ''''He/She is unnamed in the English dub, simply referred to as >Name<.'''' and some ''don't''. So I began editing those who are not from the anime, and there were quite a lot of both. So someone said I should contact a staff member before beginning to make all those edits. So now I'm contacting to you, what should we do? Remove those lines if they are there, or make them if the aren't? Thanks! [[User:Lokki|Lokki]] ([[User talk:Lokki|talk]]) 08:25, 3 September 2016 (UTC)
:I think stating that a character is unnamed when the template already says it is unnecessary, so I'd say remove those that do have that extra line.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 09:43, 3 September 2016 (UTC)
::All right, thanks [[User:Lokki|Lokki]] ([[User talk:Lokki|talk]]) 13:48, 4 September 2016 (UTC)
:::Done! Thank you very much. [[User:Lokki|Lokki]] ([[User talk:Lokki|talk]]) 14:26, 4 September 2016 (UTC)
== Pokémon with gender differences in the anime ==

How come some Pokémon that have gender differences are allowed to have their genders confirmed while others are not allowed? --[[User:PKMNAdventurer|PKMNAdventurer]] ([[User talk:PKMNAdventurer|talk]]) 04:13, 4 September 2016 (UTC)
:Both variants of the gender has to appear in order for us to use gender differences. A female Gyarados has not appeared in the anime yet, so for all we know, the animators could decide that all Gyarados (male and female) have skin colored whiskers Just because they've showed Pikachu's gender difference, does not mean all other gender differences are confirmed to exist. Games=/=anime. The animators can decide to change it up because they just can--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 04:33, 4 September 2016 (UTC)

== Playerking95 ==

Once again me and him are having disagreements over wording, specifically whether it should be "[[XY135]]/[[XY136]]" or "[[XY135]] or [[XY136]]". Now he's acting really disruptive and stuck-up with [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Diantha&diff=0&oldid=2500686 this edit summary]. He needs a lesson in manners. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 18:06, 8 September 2016 (UTC)
:But I don't. You need a big lesson in hypocrisy and you need to learn that you shouldn't be changing edits when they don't need to be changed. [[User:Playerking95|Playerking95]] ([[User talk:Playerking95|talk]]) 18:09, 8 September 2016 (UTC)
::And I would like to know what harm is being posed by my edits when the readers can't even see that part of the content? [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 18:10, 8 September 2016 (UTC)
::Seriously, hypocrisy. Do you at ALL know what it means, because if you do, then realise that if it doesn't matter, then why did you change it in the first place and why did you make something longer when you said shorter sentences were better? Please, answer me that, at the very least. [[User:Playerking95|Playerking95]] ([[User talk:Playerking95|talk]]) 18:14, 8 September 2016 (UTC)
:::I thought others agreed with me that it doesn't really matter? And did you ''really'' just undo my last post? [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 18:16, 8 September 2016 (UTC)
::::I don't care what the others think and I have said that it's stupid anyway. Edits should be made to make things better, not the same and it does matter to me, so just answer the questions. And yes, I did undo your post, but it was an accident, honestly. [[User:Playerking95|Playerking95]] ([[User talk:Playerking95|talk]]) 18:20, 8 September 2016 (UTC)
:::::Well, yes, there is no difference, but I don't care what anyone else thinks. Who uses / for "or" anyway? And like I said, it's clearly not harming anything. And I'm not convinced that you undid my post on accident. You've got an attitude and you show it when others challenge your work. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 18:24, 8 September 2016 (UTC)
:::::Well clearly you don't care what anyone else thinks, because you're getting your way, even though it's horribly unfair to me and many other editors here who posted things which were fine in the first place. The little guy never gets his side heard and I added an "/" as a placeholder because they might just appear in one episode, and then I or someone else can delete the "/" and the episode that it doesn't appear in or I or someone else could add brackets and the word and. Your way implies that there could be no "and". And about the deletion of the post, I used the history section and clicked undo to check your edit to the page, like I do with most pages and if you don't believe me, well, and I believe I'm in my right to say this, since it's not a big deal, I don't care. Believe me, don't believe, but I know that it was an accident, because we all make them. [[User:Playerking95|Playerking95]] ([[User talk:Playerking95|talk]]) 18:32, 8 September 2016 (UTC)
::::::You undid one of my edits here YET AGAIN. I'm ''really'' not convinced you're doing this on accident. If that's the way you edit articles then I'm not seeing it in your immediate edit history; you've only been doing this here ever since I reported you. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 18:36, 8 September 2016 (UTC)
:::::::Again, it was an accident, because I was too focused on responding to your posts after checking it and there's no point in reporting this, since I did nothing wrong, since it was only an accident. And you need to calm down, accidents happen, you can easily undo it and it's not the end of the world. But you're still going off topic, so please answer the questions about the hypocrisy. [[User:Playerking95|Playerking95]] ([[User talk:Playerking95|talk]]) 18:40, 8 September 2016 (UTC)
::::::::I DID answer your question, aren't you reading? And also, ''you'' need to calm down when someone makes harmless changes to your edits. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 18:42, 8 September 2016 (UTC)
:::::::::No you didn't and does it really matter isn't an answer, I want to know why you think your similar edits are fine, when they are basically the same thing, and why you've backflipped on your shorter is better rule, unless you're just trying to make sure that only you are editing here. Also, I am calm and from your second most previous post, you are not, so please calm down and I'm just talking about my edits, I'm talking about most of your edits in general, so please read what I'm saying. [[User:Playerking95|Playerking95]] ([[User talk:Playerking95|talk]]) 18:51, 8 September 2016 (UTC)
::::::::::THIS was my answer: "Well, yes, there is no difference, but I don't care what anyone else thinks. Who uses / for "or" anyway? And like I said, it's clearly not harming anything." And since WHEN did I have a "shorter is better" rule? [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 18:54, 8 September 2016 (UTC)
:::::::::::Okay, answer this simple question. If there's no harm and there's no difference, then why edit it in the first place? And you told me that it was better to have reappeared instead of appeared again, because it simpler and there is no way that the edit is simpler then it being shorter. Yet, you're making my edits longer, even though they are hidden and they'll be changed soon. [[User:Playerking95|Playerking95]] ([[User talk:Playerking95|talk]]) 19:00, 8 September 2016 (UTC)
::::::::::::Because why not? It's not hurting ANYTHING. And I said I understood the difference between "reappear" and "appear again". The / and or part, I DO NOT understand. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 19:09, 8 September 2016 (UTC)
:::::::::::::It is, because it hurts my feelings and other feelings when their edits are changed to something similar, just for no one to care about this and if it doesn't harm anything, which it does, then please don't do it in the first place. I'm fine with you fixing mistakes and adding original content, but please, please stop changing things like that and I explain the "/" thing. So, since it's hidden and there not much of a difference, please leave it in future and then we can put this all behind us and maybe even get along. I'm not a bad guy, I just get annoyed when I feel that there's an injustice taking place. It's not that big of a request really. [[User:Playerking95|Playerking95]] ([[User talk:Playerking95|talk]]) 19:14, 8 September 2016 (UTC)
::::::::::::::We'll let {{U|Force Fire}} be the judge of that. Force Fire, where are you? Take care of this. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 19:17, 8 September 2016 (UTC)
:::::::::::::::Great, I'm nice to you and then you ask someone to come here who is already on your side. This is something we can just settle between us. If you see an incorrectly spelled word, bad use of grammar, or other things like that, then you can edit them, and you made such edit son Meyer's page and I think also Steven Stone's page recently and I have no problems with those, so why can't you just make those kinds of edits and not change things so that they're basically the same edits, when they're fine and it does cause me and possibly others harm by doing this. I just don't see why we can't just be okay with this? [[User:Playerking95|Playerking95]] ([[User talk:Playerking95|talk]]) 19:23, 8 September 2016 (UTC)
::::::::::::::::No. If our previous interaction (and everyone else's contributions to said interaction) was anything to go by, you definitely have ''an attitude'' when things don't go your way, whatever that way may be. And I can tell we're definitely not going to see eye to eye with anything. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 19:28, 8 September 2016 (UTC)
:::::::::::::::::I don't have an attitude problem, even if others say so, because none of you know me, so you are definitely wrong about that, among other things and yes, we won't see eye to eye, when you are fine with treating people unfairly, and also, please post in the correct order next time and don't change previous posts, I have told you this before, but I honestly don't believe you actually pay attention to half of what I say and as I've said countless times, it isn't harmless and even if it was, then there's NO reason to do it in the first place. There's no use trying to talk to any of you, because you're obviously not listening, or you don't care about what's fair or both, but I guess that's what happens when the little guy never gets his voice heard. [[User:Playerking95|Playerking95]] ([[User talk:Playerking95|talk]]) 19:36, 8 September 2016 (UTC)
::::::::::::::::::"I don't have an attitude problem, even if others say so, because none of you know me..." [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/User_talk:Force_Fire/Archive_7#Request This discussion] seems to say otherwise. "...I honestly don't believe you actually pay attention to half of what I say and as I've said countless times, it isn't harmless and even if it was, then there's NO reason to do it in the first place." I DO pay attention to what you're saying; don't think I'm being ignorant about this issue. And yes, there IS A REASON to do it in the first place, because who in the world uses a / in the place of "or"?

:::Woah. Okay, first things first. Hidden notes don't really have to be edited, their hidden, not like anyone is going to see it and nitpick at it.

What else is unnecessary is [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Diantha&diff=0&oldid=2500686 this edit summary] Playerking, don't act like you know everything. You continual reverting clearly prove that. I thought I told you to go to a talk page before clicking the undo button? Don't just revert something you don't like, because knowing you, it'll just end up in a back and forth edit war.
:::Side note, why are you using the undo button to respond to others Playerking? It's clearly done you no favors , seeing as you accidentally removed some of GrammarFreak's comments.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 05:33, 9 September 2016 (UTC)

:::::Yeah, "/" should not be used when linking hidden things, as someone might miss the "/" when their unhiding the info. Nevertheless, it can get removed/updated when it is ready to be unhidden. Just don't worry too much about it or any hidden content, like I said, no one is going to see it and nitpick at it.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 07:47, 9 September 2016 (UTC)

Why did you remove the trivia I added on the M18 page? I am referring to this page: http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/M18 {{unsigned|Awesomevenustoise101}}
:Because things shown in trailers are either never actually shown in the movie or are different in the movie than the trailer. It's a common thing that is to be expected.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 16:38, 10 September 2016 (UTC)

It seems like information can only be from official sources or by playing, watching reading the specific Pokémon product but what if the information on the unofficial source is true? [[User:Awesomevenustoise101|Awesomevenustoise101]] ([[User talk:Awesomevenustoise101|talk]]) 19:05, 12 September 2016 (UTC)

== Contributions and edits and talking ==

I wasn't trying to make an edit war. I was just trying to contribute to the pages and the talk pages on here are very confusing. I am not sure why someone made a re-edit and didn't message me beforehand? I have been adding things I have noticed that while watching Pokémon and the errors they have made in the English dubbed version. Maybe there should be an easier way to message each other like a mail system or a chat box? I was only trying to help expand on things throughout the show that have happened. Please leave a message back. [[User:Raziel 5|Raziel 5]] ([[User talk:Raziel 5|talk]]) 18:14, 14 September 2016 (UTC)
:I said why I removed it in the edit summary, the errors are either too minor or not errors at all. If your edit has been removed, don't just add it right back, go to the talk page of the user that reverted you. And the talk page is the most effective way of sorting out discussions/problems about articles.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 05:16, 15 September 2016 (UTC)
::Well, I find it very confusing that you have to edit someone's page to talk to them unless there is another way to do so? Sorry and is there anyway for you to remove the edit warring thing off the page? I was just really confused on how the pages work. I noticed also when you go to the edit top page thing on my profile even if you go out it is no longer there and just says edit this page? Not sure if that is an error in the website or what. Also no one has addressed my question Azumarill vs. Wartortle. Bubble or Bubble Beam? on Talk:EP216. Hoping someone can clear up either what attack it was or whether or not it was an error on Misty's part? [[User:Raziel 5|Raziel 5]] ([[User talk:Raziel 5|talk]]) 14:46, 15 September 2016 (UTC)
:::How is going directly to the user's talk page to communicate with them confusing? This is something that should only be discussed on Bulbapedia, not elsewhere. I can delete revision history (if that's what you mean), but I don't see the need to. If you meant restore the edit that you made, then no, I'ce already given my reasons for their removal.
:::Someone will respond to your message on EP216's talk page when they do, have some patience. Also, sign your comments at the '''end''' of your comments, not at the beginning. And indent your comments by adding a colon, and more as the discussion progresses, so you would add four colons after my comment if you were to respond to me, and I would add five colons before my comment if I were to respond back, so on so forth.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 15:18, 15 September 2016 (UTC)
::::It's confusing because like on this page we are chatting on it doesn't notify me when you put something new even though it is watched. Not sure why it doesn't notify me of that? The history and contributions and editing on the pages kind of baffled me at first , too. I guess revision history is what I meant? I believe you meant to put I've not I'ce? Guessing keyboard or finger slipped? I have also watched Pokémon since 1997 in the USA when it was released on television by Pioneer Entertainment.[[User:Raziel 5|Raziel 5]] ([[User talk:Raziel 5|talk]]) 16:21, 15 September 2016 (UTC)
:::::Users are only notified if someone edits their talk page, you don't get notified if I edit my talk page. The only way to know if someone has responded to your message on a talk page that's not yours is to have it on your watchlist or lurk the recent changes.

== Branched evolutions ==

We explicitly treat Mega Evolutions the same way we do for alternate forms for purposes like infoboxes and {{DL|User talk:Kogoro|Request for the Editorial Board to consider|time switches}}, so why would we not treat Megas in the same way we treat Wormadam's alternate forms on [[List of Pokémon with branched evolutions]]? It seems like a no-brainer to me. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 05:50, 17 September 2016 (UTC)
:A part of Burmy's evolution into Wormadam relies on which form it is when it evolves. Whereas Mega Evolution is straightforward and is not dependent on the "pre-evolved" form--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 05:53, 17 September 2016 (UTC)

Hey, there. I have a question. Would it be alright if we make a page for the Megalith? [[User:Seabiscuit2020|Seabiscuit2020]] ([[User talk:Seabiscuit2020|talk]]) 19:47, 17 September 2016 (UTC)

== Fairy type ==

So does the fairy type exist or not? Because we have seen in that chapter that they exist from moves like misty terrain and Pokemon like diancie. It's really unprofessional to get rid of legit information because "they haven't discovered it yet", because they clearly exist. If they are not confirmed then the moves should be unconformed as well. Don't let the wiki fence ride.--[[User:Pikablu|Pikablu]] ([[User talk:Pikablu|talk]]) 17:57, 23 September 2016 (UTC)
:Using a Fairy type move in a Gen VI era manga doesn't make the move a fairy type? That rule only goes for Pokémon and moves that '''changed''' types and gained the new type. If a Pokémon used Bite and has been using Bite since Generation I, then the template will show the move as a Normal type unless specified as a Dark type move. If it learns Bite post Gen I instead, then the template will show it as a Dark type.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 03:29, 24 September 2016 (UTC)

I just fixed the video publicity, now everyone can view it. Sorry for that. I'm new to a wiki like this so I have alot to learn. {{unsigned|TheGreenBeetle}}
:That's okay, take your time with learning how the wiki works. I'll add the info in and fix the reference for you. Also, don't forget to sign with four tildes (~) after every comment, and don't re-sign an unsigned comment as it will give off the wrong timestamp.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 04:26, 26 September 2016 (UTC)

== "Intended for mainspace" pages ==

Do pages like [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/User:SnorlaxMonster/Sandbox/Machine_Part_Rocket_Grunt this one] follow the userspace policy on limited edits per day? [[User:Sumwun|sumwun]] ([[User talk:Sumwun|talk]]) 21:01, 2 October 2016 (UTC)
:The rules are a bit more lax for pages for mainspace, but the limit is still there. Your mainspace edits for the day still has to be over your userspace edits per day.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 04:09, 3 October 2016 (UTC)

==Serperior's Tackle==
Hi, I have a doubt. In [[Mako (M14)|this page]] it says that Serperior use Tackle, but in the move's page, in the anime section there isn't Serperior? Why? I ask for security--[[User:Naty|Naty]] ([[User talk:Naty|talk]]) 17:05, 4 October 2016 (UTC)

== Clemont's Magnemite ==

Notability rules say that Pokémon that are owned by Clemont are notable if they appeared in more than one episode and Magnemite has finally done that.

==Idea==
As I am putting in the numbers for the different Alola numbers in the number disambiguation pages I am thinking that it needs to be slightly redone, by listing the general number number first and placing in the other entries as subnotes like this:

* #008 {{p|Brionne}}, in the {{DL|List of Pokémon by Alola Pokédex number|Alola Pokédex}}
** #008 {{p|Brionne}}, in the {{DL|List of Pokémon by Alola Pokédex number|Melemele Alola Pokédex}}
** #008 {{p|Caterpie}}, in the {{DL|List of Pokémon by Alola Pokédex number|Akala Alola Pokédex}}
** #008 {{p|Ledyba}}, in the {{DL|List of Pokémon by Alola Pokédex number|Ula'ula Alola Pokédex}}
** #008 {{p|Happiny}}, in the {{DL|List of Pokémon by Alola Pokédex number|Poni Alola Pokédex}}

This is only because the Alola Pokedex takes a much different approach from the Kalos Pokedex where there is one part that is the number for all the Pokémon, and other for a specific area, instead of just listing one Pokémon in each area. Also despite the appearance of this draft I am sending to you I am willing to remove unneeded links (same Pokémon listed more than once and all DL links except the first one). What do you think? -[[User:Tyler53841|Tyler53841]] ([[User talk:Tyler53841|talk]]) 16:28, 1 December 2016 (UTC)
:Sorry to butt in, but if you consult your in-game dex, it's clear that the island dexes don't use different numbering systems for different Pokemon. Brionne is the only #008 in Alola. For example, the Akala Dex starts with #010 Pikipek, continues on through #019 Butterfree, then skips to #027 Grubbin, and so on. The islands just use the same numbers as the overall Alola Dex, even though they have only a subset of the Pokemon.

== Move pages ==

My question is rather trivial, but I will ask nonetheless. I notice, that on every move page, the column which displayed the Types of the Pokémon that learn a specified move has been replaced by Egg Groups. Is there a particular reason to it, as it seems rather odd to do so now, when the Types are what the move pages go by, since (maybe) the beginning of the site. [[User:Harryghost|Harryghost]] ([[User talk:Harryghost|talk]]) 16:40, 13 December 2016 (UTC)
:I'd like to second this question. It doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me to remove the types; why not list the egg groups alongside the types? To me, the types are a basic piece of information. They're usually listed anywhere Pokemon are listed, whereas egg groups aren't an often used piece of info. Is there a reason for the change? And was there even a discussion aside from one between admins? I feel like input from other users could have been beneficial.

::I don't think he's online ATM, but I can answer this question. If he wishes to add to it, he can do so.
::The reason behind the specific species being removed is more of an issue of space. The breeding tables, on Gen. I move pages especially, were starting to get extremely long. So it was decided, instead of listing 20-30 members of the Egg Group who are capable of passing the move via breeding, we instead just list the actual Egg Group. This leaves it to the user to do the research for each speccies within the Egg Group(s) who is capable of learning a breedable move. For instance, when you look at {{m|Ice Beam}}, you see {{p|Psyduck}} can learn it via breeding and is a Water 1/Field pair of Egg Groups; you find either ({{p|Seel}} and {{p|Dewgong}} each in fact satisfy both) and breed it. It's easier than putting a full species list.
::The second reason, which relates to this, is because at times there have been errors even within our information, or missing species. Listing just the Egg Group automatically includes everyone in the Egg Group with no errors (provided the Egg Group is correct in the first place).
::The question then becomes one of chain breeding identification; ATM, there are notes in the coding about which involve chain breeds, but right now there is no option within the table. Once you identify one that is a chain breed, breed THAT species to get the proper parent and then breed THAT to get the desired result. Even without checking the notes, it might be possible to look for matching Egg Groups in places and figure out the connection; for example, {{p|Skrelp}} (a Water 1/Dragon group) can learn {{m|Acid Armor}}, but needs one of its Egg Groups; this can be done via {{p|Shellos}}, a Water 1/Amphorous, which can directly breed with {{p|Grimer}} or {{p|Muk}}. Coincidentally, {{p|Goomy}} can then pick it up from Skrelp as the third link in the chain, and it's the only way Goomy can get the move. This is how you use the Egg Group informarion to find the parents.

Re [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Magic_Guard_%28Ability%29&type=revision&diff=2579647&oldid=2579646 this].

But ''why'' is something as redundant and pointless as that done like that on every page? And, if it is done like that on every page, why is that not written in the MOS? And why is it called a translation in the code when it's not a translation?

Seriously, if I am violating a convention that was decided on for some particular reason, could you explain it?

::Anyway, my understanding of the convention is that when the official English name is a literal translation of the Japanese, then we just repeat the official English name in italics within the parentheses.

== A question regarding animated PNGs ==

So, I've been trying to figure out what's going on here, but come up with nothing. I saw you are a fairly active administrator, and given that the main page says to ask staff if the faqs don't help....

Some, and only some, animated PNGs on this wiki are displaying wrong for me, and nothing I can do seems to fix it. It's mostly with the gen 5 animated sprites like [http://archives.bulbagarden.net/wiki/File:Spr_5b_570.png this one] (also see that file's [http://archives.bulbagarden.net/wiki/File_talk:Spr_5b_570.png talk page] for further information). The sprite appears very flickery, as though the apng's dispose method is set wrong, though it does display fine if I download it and view in Irfanview. See [http://i.imgur.com/s1T7jJJ.png here] for a screenshot of what I am seeing, in case you don't have the same problem. I am using Waterfox 50.1.0, which uses exactly the same rendering engine as Firefox (and the problem did occur when I was using Firefox as well!).

I don't get what's so irrelevant to the trivia point in Registeel's trivia where it talks about it's sprite. I'm just trying to point out the fact that everyone is wrong if they aren't highly educated enough. Anyone could just look at Registeel's DP sprite and be like, "yep. He's hailing Hitler," but a Nazi Salute is what one would do with their '''Right Arm,''' where Registeel's sprite is raising the '''Left Arm,''' which is a Roman Salute.

== How much edits until I can edit my userpage/make pages ==

Just asking. I want to know. {{unsigned|Bubblymice}}
:Hi Bubblymice. I believe Force Fire is offline at this time of day, so perhaps I can be of assistance to you.
:First of all, before even worrying about how to edit userspace, you need to know how to sign a comment on a talk page. This is done by typing <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>, the tilde sign. On my keyboard, it's to the left of the number keys on the top row, but other keyboards may have it in other locations. Typing that four tildes gives a signature much like the one at the end of this comment. Please use that when commenting on talk pages as it's easier to track who is saying what.
:In regards to your actual question, Force Fire most likely does not know how much you have to edit to gain the ability to edit your userspace. With that said, however, it's important to note that editing userspace is a privilege, not a right. You are required to continue to be helpful to Bulbapedia to even be allowed to edit your userspace. Notice my own personal userspace page; I have had the ability for a long time, and was notorious for always having a userpage redlink, but after a few years finally decided something should be there, so put up what's there. I don't believe I've edited it since, as it's not important and adding all sorts of userspace tags isn't going to help Bulbapedia. So I don't waste my time there. More importantly, however, is the actual {{bp|Userspace policy|userspace policy}}. I suggest you review it as it gives you this answer: "Your account is not {{bp|Autoconfirmed users|autoconfirmed}}: a special status is required before you can edit your userpage; this can be automatically earned by editing Bulbapedia's {{bp|mainspace}}". You can then head over to the "Autoconfirmed users" page (it's linked here, please follow it) for any questions related to obtaining that status.
:Should you have any further questions, please feel free to reply further here. If you do reply, make sure to use colons - that is, : - to indent your reply appropriately. For future concerns, note that it's advised to first contact a {{bp|Junior Administrator}} like myself as we are the starting point on the staff hierarchy, and able to answer the most general questions.

== Now that SS036 "The Legend of X, Y, and Z" has been released in English... ==

...Is it fair to say we can add Zygarde to the trio?

In the episode, Alexa and Sycamore tell the story of Xerneas, Yveltal, and Zygarde, which are written about in a legend called the Chapter of the Stone-Eyed Maiden.

A "Y" symbol on the Chapter of the Stone-Eyed Maiden references Yveltal.
An "X" symbol on the Chapter of the Stone-Eyed Maiden references Xerneas.
A "Z" symbol on the Chapter of the Stone-Eyed Maiden references Zygarde, which appeared after Xerneas was angered.

After telling the story, Sycamore says, "I believe both Xerneas and Yveltal are incarnations of nature that take care of the land, that is their task and their purpose. And when the natural order is undone, Zygarde appears in order to balance it. These three powerful Pokemon preside over the neverending cycle of life."

== Trivia ==

After reviewing your policies, I have a few questions.

* Why is the section called "Trivia" if it is not intended to contain obscure, minor details? If the concern is that the section would become cluttered with information or otherwsie become more difficult to read, perhaps consider dividing the section as clearly on the page as you've divided it in your policy.
* How is it possible for one person (or a small group of people) to remove information from a "trivia" section on the grounds that it "isn't interesting/notable"? Your policy acknowledges that different details are interesting to different people, so "notability" seems like a flimsy and ill-defined basis for considering what trivia is and is not allowed; this holds true in spite of your efforts to specify some parameters. Again, maybe "Trivia" is not an appropriate name for the section if this is how its content is determined.
* Inconsistency in notability. How is my trivia on legendary stat distribution less notable than {{p|Suicune}} being the only legendary beast that ''doesn't'' have a unique Effort Value yield? Being slightly less notable than two other Pokemon doesn't seem very notable to me. Or is it simply a submission that has fallen below the radar despite EpicDeino's open invitation to remove it if it isn't notable (13 August 2016)?

Anyway, this is the part where I explain why I think my trivia complies with your policy (aside from failing to submit it to the discussion section first, which won't happen again now that I've read the could-be-more-prominently-displayed policy).

* My trivia identify 2 stat combinations that are unique throughout the entire Pokedex and that are each applied exclusively to Legendary Pokemon across different gens (1-2 and 4-5). This makes it more notable than the fact that most sets of Legendaries do the same thing but only with their immediately-obvious counterparts from their own generation (it's also more notable than other forms of obviously-related Pokemon such as the Eeveelutions). The trivia is even more compelling in the case of gens 4-5, as the affected Pokemon are also all dual-typed Dragons that represent a fundamental force/trait/concept in the universe ''and'' all 5 of these dragons are featured on the cover of a main-series game. Altogether, I feel that this trivia is more closely related in nature to your "Flame Pokemon" example than to your understandable adherence to what makes a "unique/notable stat".
* Would you find this trivia more appropriate if I structured it and the other relationships I described above in the same way as the {{p|Noibat}}/Zubat relationship?

As a side note, I didn't add this trivia indiscriminately simply because it's something I noticed. The same process that revealed this relationship also revealed that Gloom and Porygon have the exact same stats except for swapped HP/Attack (as but one example), but I felt those didn't strike the right convergence of interesting, not-immediately-obvious and logical-in-hindsight. [[User:Areku|Areku]] ([[User talk:Areku|talk]]) 20:11, 1 March 2017 (UTC)

:(Not to start anything but personally I absolutely agree here and honestly - the exact Gloom/Porygon thing mentioned is what I would consider most Trivia worthy. Because it is an absolutely useless, absolutely obscure information unless you were looking for it and that's what a trivium should be. The Trivia category is definitely one I read most often here and facts like that are the reason I do it. Otherwise there's a lot of Trivia content that's not really interesting (the Suicune's EV yield is a great example) and there should be a better system for this. Also regarding the way the Trivia Policy is hidden, I can't even find it on your userpage.) [[User:KingisNitro|KingisNitro]] ([[User talk:KingisNitro|talk]]) 21:07, 1 March 2017 (UTC)
::*It's called the trivia section because it's what it is, a section for trivia. Not sure what you mean by splitting the trivia section up, if you're njot referring to the "origin"/"Name origin"/etc, I don't think it's necessary to split them up any further. And my trivia policy doesn't split up anything.
::*Notability is subjective. The policy is to boil down what is and isn't notable to get rid of any subjective opinions, i.e. a rule that everyone can agree on (like unique types being agreed as notable site wide). There are of course no wrong or right opinion, but anything on the notable or unnotable sections of that policy are generally things that are agreed to be notable site wide. Smaller things are just a case by case basis.
::*Your trivia was removed because it was a tie for a "normal" base stat and was too specific (I'll explain later when I get through the other part of this point). The Suicune trivia is not notable and should be removed, as one out of three is too small of a group to be notable. Simply put, the Suicune trivia wasn't notable and did not get removed because it was most likely overlooked.
::*The trivia you proposed was too specific, at least the way you worded it. Only ties for the ''highest''' or '''lowest''' base stat total are notable, everything in between is not. We do this so not to clutter the trivia section with other ties for non highest/lowest base stat totals. And the part about their individual base stat being different is too specific, it does not matter that their individual base stats are different. It's too minor and widespread to note, as every other Pokémon with shared base stat total have different base stat values.
::*As for the legendaries having the same base stat total as their counterpart or dragon legendaries having the same base stat total because their mascot Pokémon is just too obvious. Counterparts are clearly going to have similar stats.
::*Category trivia is a different thing, it's not restricted to a set of things, like how there are 18 types, so it's restricted to that number. CAtegory is not restricted to a set number of words and they (Nintendo) could use a whole range of words. The Zubat/Noibat trivia is a comparison trivia, again different. Although the mention of them having similar base stat total with different base stat values should be removed as per my reasoning earlier.
::*I initially thought you meant the Porygon/Gloom thing was on their pages. But again, it's too minor, specific, and widespread. ''Many'' Pokémon with the same base stat total have different individual base stat.
::*@KingIsNitro, it's on my userpage in the infobox, under subpages.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 05:35, 2 March 2017 (UTC)

*Your policy very clearly divides trivia into 7 different categories. You even have a template at the bottom of the page that leads to separate hyperlinks describing each in greater detail. One of my proposals is less restrictive "notability" criteria for trivia entries, and if any given trivia section becomes too large or otherwise difficult to read, split it up according to these categories rather than deleting things you personally don't find "notable".
*I understand that some measures must be taken to prevent utterly banal trivia from rendering the section unreadable, but I feel that a strictly literal interpretation of your current policy is too restrictive. Case in point: might as well delete {{p|Meganium}}'s entire trivia section.
*Some portions of your explanation convey a lack of understanding of my submission. I'm not saying it's notable that these Pokemon have the same base stat '''total''', I'm saying they have the same individual '''stats''' just in a different order. That they would have the same total is one obvious consequence and is not the focus of the trivia.
*I also think you are overestimating how common this type of relationship is. Currently, only 109 Pokemon have this type of relationship; just 48 after removing the very obvious cases where all Pokemon sharing a common stat spread are related through evolution (Eeveelutions, Gardevoir/Gallade etc) or are immediately adjacent in the Pokedex (the Pan/Simi monkeys, Legendary clusters made only from Pokemon of 1 gen etc). For comparison, 77 Pokemon have unique base stat totals. Of these remaining 48, the Gen 4-5 Box Dragons form the most noteworthy cluster, and many of the more-apparent ones (Meganium/Venusaur, Drampa/Turtonator etc) already contain this information in their trivia sections, and the relationship between Hoppip/Fomantis could give the latter its first trivia entry.
*I contend that this type of relationship is ''more'' worthy of an entry in a Pokemon's trivia section than "it has the highest HP of a Steel type"; the latter can quickly be identified by any curious party by exploring [[List of Pokémon by base stats (Generation VII-present)]]. What I'm describing is something that can't be revealed at a glance on such an already-noteworthy page.
*I'm honestly quite baffled that your approach was to delete that relationship from the Zubat/Noibat connection; now it's just "these are two Pokemon that resemble the same animal and have a common ability". You made the trivia ''less'' notable than before. Should I add similar "trivia" for all of the bird-like Pokemon with Keen Eye?
*You say that it's obvious that some counterparts would have stats in common. This is certainly true, but it only goes so far. Do you consider Mewtwo and Ho-Oh to be counterparts? Did you know that Giratina/Reshiram had the same stats before I brought it up? And if you find the latter unworthy because it's still "too obvious", this suggests that you feel Porygon/Gloom would be worthy ''because'' it's so random, but you reject that as well. Honestly, it sounds like you're contradicting yourself in an effort to have it both ways.
*I'm going to be frank: Your current rigid approach to trivia entries feels like it flies in the face of what makes a trivia section interesting. One of the most interesting things about the Pokemon franchise is the complex interrelationships between Pokemon species, and your current system of "notability" actively restrains the exploration of such relationships. Your trivia policy feels decidedly anti-trivia and needs either significant revision or less draconian application. [[User:Areku|Areku]] ([[User talk:Areku|talk]]) 19:23, 2 March 2017 (UTC)
:*Oh, those aren't what you think they are. Those split up the '''type''' of trivia. So "Species" are trivia that go on the individual species page, "anime" are trivia that go on the anime page, so on so forth. The trivia section on of itself does not need to be split off, we have (very) large trivia sections (Pikachu comes to my head). The length of trivia sections is a non issue, it's the unnotable content within the trivia the are an issue.
:*Most of the notable or unnotable things on that page were gathered from the trivia and opinions of the time (which was... 2010, I believe), I looked around to see what trivia was considered notable and unnotable by looking at disussions, history revisions, and what trivia was consistently present among pages - hence "agreed upon site-wide". Notability is ever-changing as new opinions come up, which is why it's still in the userspace - it's something that's going to be updated constantly until staff and users alike can come to an agreeable conclusion. As for the Meganium trivia, many pages have trivia that would be unnotable, they're never changed or removed because no one has gotten around to doing so.
:*48 is still quite a large number, and trying to specify specific grouping of Pokémon that are related in one way or another makes it too obvious. Again, notability is subjective and this is ''my'' opinion. Many Pokémon have similar stats but different individual values, 48 or 109 by your count, so it's nothing special and it doesn't mean much. It may be common, but it's '''too''' common, making it '''too''' obvious. Of the Pokémon that you've listed in the latter half of your argument, Turtonator/Drampa are the only one that should mention stat differences - only because it's not the point of the trivia. The point of their trivia is to explain '''how''' and '''why''' they can be considered counterparts. Meganium/Venusaur and Hoppip/Fomantis shouldn't have it as they're not counterparts.
:*"Highest HP of a Steel type" is basic, to the point, and not overtly specific. It is also a fact. Yes, one can see that by looking at another page, but that's one step too many when you can just go to the article of the Pokémon without having to surf through a list. Yes, the trivia you proposed is obscure, but it's too obscure and minor.
:*Eh, I'm okay with it being removed, but decided to keep it to see if someone else thought it had become unnotable.
:*Mewtwo/Ho-oh and Giratina/Reshiram are '''legendaries''', not counterparts. It's obvious that a specific grouping of Pokémon are going to have similar stats. Gloom/Porygon are just two random Pokémon that have similar stats and fall into the "many other Pokémon have similar stats" rule.
:*Sometimes, these complex relationships are just too obvious too identify because the parties of this complex relationship are part of a specific grouping, and as I've said before, it's obvious that legendaries are going to have similar stats.
:*As I mentioned earlier, the trivia policy is ever changing, it's going to be updated constantly until users and staff can come to an agreeable conclusion. So if you have a proposal for trivia notability, you can always bring it up and the staff will make a decision. Stat trivia have been discussed before, back in 2012, and I believe that the decision to make clear cut stat trivia (i.e. highest/lowest stat) the only thing notable. I may have to go back and look, or revisit stat trivia as a whole, as that decision was made five years ago and opinions can change.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 05:52, 3 March 2017 (UTC)

== Your reverted edit on my edit to necrozma's trivia ==

I think your given reason is invalid, as Necrozma is stated to resemble the Ultra Beasts and appears to have some kind of relationship with them. Necrozma also appears to have some kind of relationship with the Cosmog line, and furthermore, this common trait cannot be a simple coincidence, as there are not that many prime numbers and most Pokemon have base stats that are not prime, with many (particularly Pokemon with BSTs of 600 and 680) having only base stats in multiples of 5, and most Pokemon learning level-up moves at non-prime levels (Cosmog and Cosmoem even evolve at prime number levels, so that line is definitely associated with prime numbers). Why is a non-coincidental common trait with a group of Pokemon it resembles and is somehow related to not notable? (it's also an interesting trait) [[User:PartHunter|PartHunter]] ([[User talk:PartHunter|talk]]) 15:10, 7 May 2017 (UTC)
:It's not a matter of whether they share the trait or why (which is speculation), it's a matter of different standards of notability on group pages and species pages. The trivium exists on the Ultra Beast page because it is describing a trait that the whole group shares (and therefore, the standard of not unique=not notable does not apply, because notability on the group page isn't affected by whether other Pokemon outside the group also share the trait). On individual species pages, the standard of not unique=not notable does apply, so it does not belong on Necrozma, Solgaleo, or wherever else you want to put it.

::::::The prime number trivia is notable as it is shared by a very specific set of Pokémon rather than just a bunch of random Pokémon. That's why it's on the Ultra Beast page.
::::::Nescientist, you can't say something is an Ultra Beast because it looks... well, what is an Ultra meant to look like specifically? The current Ultra Beast look like standard Pokémon in my opinion. I see where you're going with the analogy... but it's weak, since the monstrous beings looks like all the other monstrous beings.

== Regarding the removal of my trivia edit ==

I'm aware that the act of flying doesn't count as the HM move but in [[EP131]], Ash tells his Charizard to use its "Fly attack" (which it never used due to circumstances) as well as the Ash's Charizard page listing Fly as one of it's official moves. Wouldn't that technically make Charizard the first of Ash's Pokemon to KNOW an HM move which I stated before? I also did specify that it KNEW the move but just simply didn't USE it which still makes Ash's Grotle the first of his Pokemon to use an HM move. {{unsigned|Nikuriku}}
:There's a possibility that Charizard doesn't actually know the move Fly. As ridiculous as it sounds, you have to consider that possibility.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 03:50, 12 May 2017 (UTC)

== Electabuzz/Magmar Moveset Thingy ==

I was trying to clarify the bit of Electabuzz trivia about learning moves at the same level as Magmar since Gen V, with Fire/Thunder Punch as an example. You then removed the "for example" part... It's just that now, to me anyway, it's saying that the extent of their "similar movesets" is the fact they both learn elemental punches... at some point... which is hardly "similar movesets." I wanted to convey the fact that, at every level one of them learns a move, the other also learns a move (usually a similar one: punches at 29, Discharge/Lava Plume at 36, both of which are moves that damage allies as well as opponents in multi battles, then a status move at 42...).
I'd like some discussion before I just go back and potentially start an edit war. [[User:Masternachos|Masternachos]] ([[User talk:Masternachos|talk]]) 16:55, 11 May 2017 (UTC)
:I've tried to create a compromise. I agree with Force Fire that the example was unnecessary, but you're right that his edit was confusing. I've changed it to just say they often learn similar moves at the same level, which I think most readers will be able to understand without an example.

I made a mistake in participating. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 06:02, 19 May 2017 (UTC)
:Pumpkinking, for my part, I have seen you in general being helpful around the Wiki and here trying to aid in enforcing the decision of a senior administrator. I would be willing to let that slide for you thus for reasons I won't get into here.
:GrammarFreak01, you need to understand something. We have not seen Serena since [[XY140|her arrival in Hoenn]]. While it's very likely she will appear in contests there, we have not seen anything confirming it, and until we do, we cannot say what she's up to. It's like when you go to court to sue someone for damages; you have to prove, in some way, that you have suffered such that damages ought to be awarded to you. This could be something like not receiving rent for an agreement with a rentor for your place, or something simpler like a car accident where the other party is at fault for damages to your vehicle. With no evidence of damages, you get no reward. Similarly here, with no proof that Serena has entered contests, she is not considered a coordinator. If there is later a side episode (as sometimes happens with retired cnaracters from the main anime) where she's seen competing, or if she appears in the main series now on an episode (this has happened in Sinnoh and Unova, in fact), then we may get some answer to this. Until then, she is not a coordinator in our eyes. Force Fire is absolutely correct in his choice here. [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 06:17, 19 May 2017 (UTC)

:::You're thinking too much into it GrammarFreak. Yes, she went to Hoenn to compete in contests. But that doesn't mean she's actually competing in contests at this moment. If a friend of mine said he was going to the US to meet the president and sends me a picture of him at JFK airport, I'll believe he's in the US but not that he has met the president, because he hasn't shown proof that he has met the president.

::::If the move has a '''unique animation''', then yes we can assume moves. Bite '''does not''' have a unique animation. Those are separate instances.

Because the writers and animators can just do that.

@Force Fire, it was my understanding that she said something like 'I was really impressed by your Bite' but I do not read or speak Japanesse nor was it I who originally added Bite to Gumshoos's page. I'm also not in any way in charge so if you've found that we cannot confirm the move was Bite- you know what you must do.

@PlayerKing, I knew I would regret even getting involved. I do not speak Japanesse, I don't know what they are saying. I did not add Bite to the page and I am only relaying the reason given by whoever it was that confirmed Bite. As you'd expect, there was dispute at the time of that episode and I thought it had been resolved when somone confirmed Jenny mentioned Bite. I do not decide these things and honestly, I don't care anymore because the amount of times I've come to blows with you specfically over this issue resembles quite a distastful relationship for two people who have no idea where the other lives, how old they are and even if they are a boy or a girl.

Though I would remind you that you DID start all this back around the time of XY071 regarding a Pangoro's Slash attack (Or whatever scratching move it could have been.) Since then, and let me stress that this has been going on for years, myself and a handful of other users have clashed with you ovcer the same issue. Only since then have Pokémon used moves in the anime and we've left them completely undocumented. Undocumented when litterally nobody else ever disputed that that Pangoro used Slash. I tried making a page so that these 'unidentifiable' moves could be at least listed somwhere; [[User:05308/Unidentifiable Moves in the Anime]], but you've never been intrested in solving the problem, just shouting about them. Now search the pages for Bite, Slash, Tackle etc, there are litterally hundreds of moves (before XY071) that were never explicitly confirmed but are documented anyway because people don't care as much about a Thunderbolt possibly being a Thundershock as they do when neither is listed.

== One of your pages ==
On your list of anime Pokemon by capture page, I saw that under Krokorok it says that it had lost "a duet against Pikachu". Is it meant to be duel or is it truly duet. Also another thing under Ash's Totodile of interest is that if one were to freeze frame the episode, it was Ash's Lure ball that hit but I'm not sure if that is significant to the writing of that page.
Also in SM012 it states that team rocket defeats Ash fairly "for the first time since the original series". Are there original series episodes that prove that? If not then could that lines be taken out please?[[User:Nikuriku|Nikuriku]] ([[User talk:Nikuriku|talk]]) 15:59, 25 May 2017 (UTC)

== Your page on moves with unique animations and uploading images ==
About the page you have made(and if you are still working on it as of today) you have put Counter there (I do know the question mark was there) but I would like to say that it may clash with the animation of Mirror Coat and may not be considered unique. I found another unique move animation of interest; Fire Blast as it always produces the kanji 大 when used.

I noticed there were blanks in the table, but I do know some examples where the attack has been specifically used (e.g. Sand Attack and Ember in the original series). However I'm not sure on how to get/take high quality images of a scene in the anime where the move is executed. Do you know if there is any way to take good screenshots?

Also is there a special method for images to be uploaded in Bulbapedia? Correct me if I'm wrong but I heard that one has to make a certain(precise number is hidden) amount of edits on an Archives page before being allowed to upload images.[[User:Nikuriku|Nikuriku]] ([[User talk:Nikuriku|talk]]) 06:50, 6 June 2017 (UTC)
:The page is still in the works, yes. I've only looked through the first 100 or so Gen I moves, so that's why Fire Blast isn't on there yet. As for Counter, I wasn't sure if Counter being mostly red in coloration, as opposed to Mirror Coat's white coloration, would make it unique, though I'd have to check other moves as well.
:You can take images by taking a screenshot of the episode, shop out any of the logo or text, and/or resize it to the wiki's standard (if it's not at that size).

Because to contribute requires one to upload but for those not confirmed cannot upload, so I view the contribution and confirmation as overlapping. So could you tell me on some specific things to do for one to contribute to the archives page before they can upload as I have little knowledge on how it works?
:: Also I added a small list on the discussion page on your unique animation page of some attacks to have a look at.

:::Yeah, it can be hard to find anything to edit on the archive since it's not its main purpose, but there are things you can do (like tagging untagged images, putting summaries for images that don't have them etc..).

==Screenshooting and your page on unique anime move animations==
Hi, I would like to express my thanks to you and Cyclone for helping me get autoconfirmed on the Archives.
But another question I would like to ask is how to be able to take screenshots on a 3DS along with recommended image size for uploads? Because I noticed a LOT of moves requiring their Gen VII move animation and whether to upload it as a GIF or general .png file? Note that some of my uploads were in 1280x720, not sure if that is appropriate
Also would I be allowed to add some table columns to your page on unique move animations in the future? Because I know a few notable moves which could be put down on the page.[[User:Nikuriku|Nikuriku]] ([[User talk:Nikuriku|talk]]) 13:18, 16 June 2017 (UTC)
:No problems. You can get screenshots from a 3DS with a capture device, which can be expensive. The images should be uploaded as .png, and (if I recall correctly) the reason the post Gen V move images aren't animated is because it'd make the images too heavy considering the frames and it'd most likely put stress on the server.
:The idea I had for the unique move animations page was to do it by generation first, i.e. pick out Gen I moves and discuss to weed out any questionable animations (like counter or hyper beam), and then move on to the next generation.

== Deleted Page ==

Alright so this is going to seem kind of random but could you possibly restore the page for my old account on here so I can view the history of it? I made an account on here when I was in like middle school and made a bunch of cringe edits and had a user page that was exactly what you'd expect from a 13 year old who just figured out how to use a wiki and then like years later i deleted it all because i thought it was really embarrassing and you deleted my account https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/User:The_Reverend_A_K

But now I have a super mildly popular youtube channel (which i'm not going to post so this doesn't seem like it's just the most elaborate way to promote my channel ever) and i think it would actually be super funny to make a video with my original competitive team that i had like an RMT for on my page. So yeah if you could let me see it i'd give you a big ole smooch but if you can't then that's fine too.

== Userspace articles ==

On your unique move animations page discussion page, I put up a list of moves of notability from Tri Attack onward to cover all Gen II moves of potential notability. Images I mentioned in a previous post will be coming soon once I have some more time to get move images from the Original Series DVD's for better quality.

Also I would like to ask advice for structuring an Underleveled Pokemon page is that should the tables be just one large table for all underleveled Pokemon in the core series or should I split the tables by doing one table for each generation on underleveled Pokemon?

Another thing would be for spin-off games like the Mystery Dungeon series, should I have a separate article for each Mystery Dungeon game or one whole article for all underleveled Pokemon in the Mystery Dungeon titles?
Thanks ahead[[User:Nikuriku|Nikuriku]] ([[User talk:Nikuriku|talk]]) 03:55, 25 June 2017 (UTC)
:I'll look through the moves at some point, thanks.
:I think it should be split between games, a long table can be very difficult to edit through.

==Pokedex entries==

About Gen VII Pokedex entries on Pokemon that don't appear in Sun and Moon, would it be advised to add entries to the page via transferring Pokemon over than adding the entry to the species articles or would something like the Bulbabot be doing it in one large swoop?

==Adding images for Gen VII moves==
Hi, I would like to ask on the number of images to display on an article about an attack? Because I noticed some moves (e.g. Parabolic Charge) has only one image and others (E.g. Seismic Toss) has two images displayed at the top. So I would like to ask on how many images I should have to update move images so it displays the Gen VII move instead of the Gen VI attack.

Another thing I would like to ask is how to replaces images on the page and move older images to the bottom of the page as I'm unfamiliar with that kind of editing

Also is it just me or is there a lot more GIFS on Bulbapedia? Not sure if it was always like that as my PC usually doesn't play GIFS but today it seems that what previously was GIFS that are now images suddenly work as GIFS again.

Thanks ahead[[User:Nikuriku|Nikuriku]] ([[User talk:Nikuriku|talk]]) 08:07, 1 July 2017 (UTC)
:I believe moves have two images if there are two phases for the animation. For example, Seismic Toss has the opponent thrown in the air before the impact animation. Moves that are just the basic impact animations just get one image.
:Save the current image as a separate file (preferable File:<move> Gen VI.png) and replace the current one, while reuploading the old image iunder the new filename.
:Browsers require an add on for GIFs to work, my browser doesn't have the add on, so GIFs don't work for me.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 05:43, 2 July 2017 (UTC)

2. On your unique animations page, when a time is convenient could you please check over the list of moves that cover up to Gen II?

3. For that same page would it be relevant to upload images of other Pokemon using such moves? Just asking in case they get removed for not being relevant enough as some spaces don't have images despite some Pokemon series having a Pokemon use such moves.
Thanks--[[User:Nikuriku|Nikuriku]] ([[User talk:Nikuriku|talk]]) 01:52, 23 July 2017 (UTC)
:1) Your edit was fine, just make sure to separate the "in other gen" templates as putting all the images in one template will stretch the template off screen for users with smaller screens.

== Contributions and edits and talking ==

I wasn't trying to make an edit war. I was just trying to contribute to the pages and the talk pages on here are very confusing. I am not sure why someone made a re-edit and didn't message me beforehand? I have been adding things I have noticed that while watching Pokémon and the errors they have made in the English dubbed version. Maybe there should be an easier way to message each other like a mail system or a chat box? I was only trying to help expand on things throughout the show that have happened. Please leave a message back. [[User:Raziel 5|Raziel 5]] ([[User talk:Raziel 5|talk]]) 18:14, 14 September 2016 (UTC)
:I said why I removed it in the edit summary, the errors are either too minor or not errors at all. If your edit has been removed, don't just add it right back, go to the talk page of the user that reverted you. And the talk page is the most effective way of sorting out discussions/problems about articles.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 05:16, 15 September 2016 (UTC)
::Well, I find it very confusing that you have to edit someone's page to talk to them unless there is another way to do so? Sorry and is there anyway for you to remove the edit warring thing off the page? I was just really confused on how the pages work. I noticed also when you go to the edit top page thing on my profile even if you go out it is no longer there and just says edit this page? Not sure if that is an error in the website or what. Also no one has addressed my question Azumarill vs. Wartortle. Bubble or Bubble Beam? on Talk:EP216. Hoping someone can clear up either what attack it was or whether or not it was an error on Misty's part? [[User:Raziel 5|Raziel 5]] ([[User talk:Raziel 5|talk]]) 14:46, 15 September 2016 (UTC)
:::How is going directly to the user's talk page to communicate with them confusing? This is something that should only be discussed on Bulbapedia, not elsewhere. I can delete revision history (if that's what you mean), but I don't see the need to. If you meant restore the edit that you made, then no, I'ce already given my reasons for their removal.
:::Someone will respond to your message on EP216's talk page when they do, have some patience. Also, sign your comments at the '''end''' of your comments, not at the beginning. And indent your comments by adding a colon, and more as the discussion progresses, so you would add four colons after my comment if you were to respond to me, and I would add five colons before my comment if I were to respond back, so on so forth.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 15:18, 15 September 2016 (UTC)
::::It's confusing because like on this page we are chatting on it doesn't notify me when you put something new even though it is watched. Not sure why it doesn't notify me of that?

== Branched evolutions ==

We explicitly treat Mega Evolutions the same way we do for alternate forms for purposes like infoboxes and {{DL|User talk:Kogoro|Request for the Editorial Board to consider|time switches}}, so why would we not treat Megas in the same way we treat Wormadam's alternate forms on [[List of Pokémon with branched evolutions]]?

== Fairy type ==

So does the fairy type exist or not? Because we have seen in that chapter that they exist from moves like misty terrain and Pokemon like diancie. It's really unprofessional to get rid of legit information because "they haven't discovered it yet", because they clearly exist. If they are not confirmed then the moves should be unconformed as well. Don't let the wiki fence ride.--[[User:Pikablu|Pikablu]] ([[User talk:Pikablu|talk]]) 17:57, 23 September 2016 (UTC)
:Using a Fairy type move in a Gen VI era manga doesn't make the move a fairy type? That rule only goes for Pokémon and moves that '''changed''' types and gained the new type. If a Pokémon used Bite and has been using Bite since Generation I, then the template will show the move as a Normal type unless specified as a Dark type move. If it learns Bite post Gen I instead, then the template will show it as a Dark type.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 03:29, 24 September 2016 (UTC)

==Idea==
As I am putting in the numbers for the different Alola numbers in the number disambiguation pages I am thinking that it needs to be slightly redone, by listing the general number number first and placing in the other entries as subnotes like this:

* #008 {{p|Brionne}}, in the {{DL|List of Pokémon by Alola Pokédex number|Alola Pokédex}}
** #008 {{p|Brionne}}, in the {{DL|List of Pokémon by Alola Pokédex number|Melemele Alola Pokédex}}
** #008 {{p|Caterpie}}, in the {{DL|List of Pokémon by Alola Pokédex number|Akala Alola Pokédex}}
** #008 {{p|Ledyba}}, in the {{DL|List of Pokémon by Alola Pokédex number|Ula'ula Alola Pokédex}}
** #008 {{p|Happiny}}, in the {{DL|List of Pokémon by Alola Pokédex number|Poni Alola Pokédex}}

This is only because the Alola Pokedex takes a much different approach from the Kalos Pokedex where there is one part that is the number for all the Pokémon, and other for a specific area, instead of just listing one Pokémon in each area. Also despite the appearance of this draft I am sending to you I am willing to remove unneeded links (same Pokémon listed more than once and all DL links except the first one). What do you think? -[[User:Tyler53841|Tyler53841]] ([[User talk:Tyler53841|talk]]) 16:28, 1 December 2016 (UTC)
:Sorry to butt in, but if you consult your in-game dex, it's clear that the island dexes don't use different numbering systems for different Pokemon. Brionne is the only #008 in Alola. For example, the Akala Dex starts with #010 Pikipek, continues on through #019 Butterfree, then skips to #027 Grubbin, and so on. The islands just use the same numbers as the overall Alola Dex, even though they have only a subset of the Pokemon.

== May's Venusaur ==

Why do you keep removing the <nowiki>{{fact}}</nowiki> tag without even giving a reason in your edit summary. It needs sourcing to verify that it's female.[[User:Ratchet and Clank 1995|Ratchet and Clank 1995]] ([[User talk:Ratchet and Clank 1995|talk]]) 16:21, 11 December 2016 (UTC)

== Move pages ==

My question is rather trivial, but I will ask nonetheless. I notice, that on every move page, the column which displayed the Types of the Pokémon that learn a specified move has been replaced by Egg Groups. Is there a particular reason to it, as it seems rather odd to do so now, when the Types are what the move pages go by, since (maybe) the beginning of the site. [[User:Harryghost|Harryghost]] ([[User talk:Harryghost|talk]]) 16:40, 13 December 2016 (UTC)
:I'd like to second this question. It doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me to remove the types; why not list the egg groups alongside the types? To me, the types are a basic piece of information. They're usually listed anywhere Pokemon are listed, whereas egg groups aren't an often used piece of info. Is there a reason for the change? And was there even a discussion aside from one between admins? I feel like input from other users could have been beneficial. '''[[User:Slimey01|slimey]][[User talk:Slimey01|01]]''' 17:10, 13 December 2016 (UTC)
::I don't think he's online ATM, but I can answer this question. If he wishes to add to it, he can do so.
::The reason behind the specific species being removed is more of an issue of space. The breeding tables, on Gen. I move pages especially, were starting to get extremely long. So it was decided, instead of listing 20-30 members of the Egg Group who are capable of passing the move via breeding, we instead just list the actual Egg Group. This leaves it to the user to do the research for each speccies within the Egg Group(s) who is capable of learning a breedable move. For instance, when you look at {{m|Ice Beam}}, you see {{p|Psyduck}} can learn it via breeding and is a Water 1/Field pair of Egg Groups; you find either ({{p|Seel}} and {{p|Dewgong}} each in fact satisfy both) and breed it. It's easier than putting a full species list.
::The second reason, which relates to this, is because at times there have been errors even within our information, or missing species. Listing just the Egg Group automatically includes everyone in the Egg Group with no errors (provided the Egg Group is correct in the first place).
::The question then becomes one of chain breeding identification; ATM, there are notes in the coding about which involve chain breeds, but right now there is no option within the table. Once you identify one that is a chain breed, breed THAT species to get the proper parent and then breed THAT to get the desired result. Even without checking the notes, it might be possible to look for matching Egg Groups in places and figure out the connection; for example, {{p|Skrelp}} (a Water 1/Dragon group) can learn {{m|Acid Armor}}, but needs one of its Egg Groups; this can be done via {{p|Shellos}}, a Water 1/Amphorous, which can directly breed with {{p|Grimer}} or {{p|Muk}}. Coincidentally, {{p|Goomy}} can then pick it up from Skrelp as the third link in the chain, and it's the only way Goomy can get the move. This is how you use the Egg Group informarion to find the parents.

But ''why'' is something as redundant and pointless as that done like that on every page? And, if it is done like that on every page, why is that not written in the MOS? And why is it called a translation in the code when it's not a translation?

Seriously, if I am violating a convention that was decided on for some particular reason, could you explain it?

::Anyway, my understanding of the convention is that when the official English name is a literal translation of the Japanese, then we just repeat the official English name in italics within the parentheses. Doing like you did on that page creates the false impression that the translation inside the parentheses is somehow more accurate/literal than the official English name The reason I don't want to replace the "translated name with a word-for-word repetition of the official English name is that that also [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Wela_Volcano_Park&diff=2572700&oldid=2563221 doesn't make much sense to me] (it's redundant) and I'd rather wait until [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Nuva-kal&diff=2577005&oldid=2572872 Nuva-kal] gets back to me (or indicates that they are not going to get back to me) before going over their head to the Editorial Board.

== A question regarding animated PNGs ==

So, I've been trying to figure out what's going on here, but come up with nothing. I saw you are a fairly active administrator, and given that the main page says to ask staff if the faqs don't help....

Some, and only some, animated PNGs on this wiki are displaying wrong for me, and nothing I can do seems to fix it. It's mostly with the gen 5 animated sprites like [http://archives.bulbagarden.net/wiki/File:Spr_5b_570.png this one] (also see that file's [http://archives.bulbagarden.net/wiki/File_talk:Spr_5b_570.png talk page] for further information). The sprite appears very flickery, as though the apng's dispose method is set wrong, though it does display fine if I download it and view in Irfanview. See [http://i.imgur.com/s1T7jJJ.png here] for a screenshot of what I am seeing, in case you don't have the same problem.

I'm just trying to point out the fact that everyone is wrong if they aren't highly educated enough. Anyone could just look at Registeel's DP sprite and be like, "yep.

Just asking. I want to know. {{unsigned|Bubblymice}}
:Hi Bubblymice. I believe Force Fire is offline at this time of day, so perhaps I can be of assistance to you.
:First of all, before even worrying about how to edit userspace, you need to know how to sign a comment on a talk page. This is done by typing <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>, the tilde sign. On my keyboard, it's to the left of the number keys on the top row, but other keyboards may have it in other locations. Typing that four tildes gives a signature much like the one at the end of this comment. Please use that when commenting on talk pages as it's easier to track who is saying what.
:In regards to your actual question, Force Fire most likely does not know how much you have to edit to gain the ability to edit your userspace. With that said, however, it's important to note that editing userspace is a privilege, not a right. You are required to continue to be helpful to Bulbapedia to even be allowed to edit your userspace. Notice my own personal userspace page; I have had the ability for a long time, and was notorious for always having a userpage redlink, but after a few years finally decided something should be there, so put up what's there. I don't believe I've edited it since, as it's not important and adding all sorts of userspace tags isn't going to help Bulbapedia. So I don't waste my time there. More importantly, however, is the actual {{bp|Userspace policy|userspace policy}}. I suggest you review it as it gives you this answer: "Your account is not {{bp|Autoconfirmed users|autoconfirmed}}: a special status is required before you can edit your userpage; this can be automatically earned by editing Bulbapedia's {{bp|mainspace}}". You can then head over to the "Autoconfirmed users" page (it's linked here, please follow it) for any questions related to obtaining that status.
:Should you have any further questions, please feel free to reply further here. If you do reply, make sure to use colons - that is, : - to indent your reply appropriately.

== Now that SS036 "The Legend of X, Y, and Z" has been released in English... ==

...Is it fair to say we can add Zygarde to the trio?

In the episode, Alexa and Sycamore tell the story of Xerneas, Yveltal, and Zygarde, which are written about in a legend called the Chapter of the Stone-Eyed Maiden.

A "Y" symbol on the Chapter of the Stone-Eyed Maiden references Yveltal.
An "X" symbol on the Chapter of the Stone-Eyed Maiden references Xerneas.
A "Z" symbol on the Chapter of the Stone-Eyed Maiden references Zygarde, which appeared after Xerneas was angered.

After telling the story, Sycamore says, "I believe both Xerneas and Yveltal are incarnations of nature that take care of the land, that is their task and their purpose. And when the natural order is undone, Zygarde appears in order to balance it. These three powerful Pokemon preside over the neverending cycle of life."

== Trivia ==

After reviewing your policies, I have a few questions.

* Why is the section called "Trivia" if it is not intended to contain obscure, minor details? If the concern is that the section would become cluttered with information or otherwsie become more difficult to read, perhaps consider dividing the section as clearly on the page as you've divided it in your policy.
* How is it possible for one person (or a small group of people) to remove information from a "trivia" section on the grounds that it "isn't interesting/notable"? Your policy acknowledges that different details are interesting to different people, so "notability" seems like a flimsy and ill-defined basis for considering what trivia is and is not allowed; this holds true in spite of your efforts to specify some parameters. Again, maybe "Trivia" is not an appropriate name for the section if this is how its content is determined.
* Inconsistency in notability. How is my trivia on legendary stat distribution less notable than {{p|Suicune}} being the only legendary beast that ''doesn't'' have a unique Effort Value yield? Being slightly less notable than two other Pokemon doesn't seem very notable to me. Or is it simply a submission that has fallen below the radar despite EpicDeino's open invitation to remove it if it isn't notable (13 August 2016)?

Anyway, this is the part where I explain why I think my trivia complies with your policy (aside from failing to submit it to the discussion section first, which won't happen again now that I've read the could-be-more-prominently-displayed policy).

* My trivia identify 2 stat combinations that are unique throughout the entire Pokedex and that are each applied exclusively to Legendary Pokemon across different gens (1-2 and 4-5). This makes it more notable than the fact that most sets of Legendaries do the same thing but only with their immediately-obvious counterparts from their own generation (it's also more notable than other forms of obviously-related Pokemon such as the Eeveelutions). The trivia is even more compelling in the case of gens 4-5, as the affected Pokemon are also all dual-typed Dragons that represent a fundamental force/trait/concept in the universe ''and'' all 5 of these dragons are featured on the cover of a main-series game. Altogether, I feel that this trivia is more closely related in nature to your "Flame Pokemon" example than to your understandable adherence to what makes a "unique/notable stat".
* Would you find this trivia more appropriate if I structured it and the other relationships I described above in the same way as the {{p|Noibat}}/Zubat relationship?

As a side note, I didn't add this trivia indiscriminately simply because it's something I noticed. The same process that revealed this relationship also revealed that Gloom and Porygon have the exact same stats except for swapped HP/Attack (as but one example), but I felt those didn't strike the right convergence of interesting, not-immediately-obvious and logical-in-hindsight. [[User:Areku|Areku]] ([[User talk:Areku|talk]]) 20:11, 1 March 2017 (UTC)

:(Not to start anything but personally I absolutely agree here and honestly - the exact Gloom/Porygon thing mentioned is what I would consider most Trivia worthy. Because it is an absolutely useless, absolutely obscure information unless you were looking for it and that's what a trivium should be. The Trivia category is definitely one I read most often here and facts like that are the reason I do it. Otherwise there's a lot of Trivia content that's not really interesting (the Suicune's EV yield is a great example) and there should be a better system for this. Also regarding the way the Trivia Policy is hidden, I can't even find it on your userpage.) [[User:KingisNitro|KingisNitro]] ([[User talk:KingisNitro|talk]]) 21:07, 1 March 2017 (UTC)
::*It's called the trivia section because it's what it is, a section for trivia. Not sure what you mean by splitting the trivia section up, if you're njot referring to the "origin"/"Name origin"/etc, I don't think it's necessary to split them up any further. And my trivia policy doesn't split up anything.
::*Notability is subjective. The policy is to boil down what is and isn't notable to get rid of any subjective opinions, i.e. a rule that everyone can agree on (like unique types being agreed as notable site wide). There are of course no wrong or right opinion, but anything on the notable or unnotable sections of that policy are generally things that are agreed to be notable site wide. Smaller things are just a case by case basis.
::*Your trivia was removed because it was a tie for a "normal" base stat and was too specific (I'll explain later when I get through the other part of this point). The Suicune trivia is not notable and should be removed, as one out of three is too small of a group to be notable. Simply put, the Suicune trivia wasn't notable and did not get removed because it was most likely overlooked.
::*The trivia you proposed was too specific, at least the way you worded it. Only ties for the ''highest''' or '''lowest''' base stat total are notable, everything in between is not. We do this so not to clutter the trivia section with other ties for non highest/lowest base stat totals. And the part about their individual base stat being different is too specific, it does not matter that their individual base stats are different. It's too minor and widespread to note, as every other Pokémon with shared base stat total have different base stat values.
::*As for the legendaries having the same base stat total as their counterpart or dragon legendaries having the same base stat total because their mascot Pokémon is just too obvious. Counterparts are clearly going to have similar stats.
::*Category trivia is a different thing, it's not restricted to a set of things, like how there are 18 types, so it's restricted to that number. CAtegory is not restricted to a set number of words and they (Nintendo) could use a whole range of words. The Zubat/Noibat trivia is a comparison trivia, again different. Although the mention of them having similar base stat total with different base stat values should be removed as per my reasoning earlier.
::*I initially thought you meant the Porygon/Gloom thing was on their pages. But again, it's too minor, specific, and widespread. ''Many'' Pokémon with the same base stat total have different individual base stat.
::*@KingIsNitro, it's on my userpage in the infobox, under subpages.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 05:35, 2 March 2017 (UTC)

*Your policy very clearly divides trivia into 7 different categories. You even have a template at the bottom of the page that leads to separate hyperlinks describing each in greater detail. One of my proposals is less restrictive "notability" criteria for trivia entries, and if any given trivia section becomes too large or otherwise difficult to read, split it up according to these categories rather than deleting things you personally don't find "notable".
*I understand that some measures must be taken to prevent utterly banal trivia from rendering the section unreadable, but I feel that a strictly literal interpretation of your current policy is too restrictive. Case in point: might as well delete {{p|Meganium}}'s entire trivia section.
*Some portions of your explanation convey a lack of understanding of my submission. I'm not saying it's notable that these Pokemon have the same base stat '''total''', I'm saying they have the same individual '''stats''' just in a different order. That they would have the same total is one obvious consequence and is not the focus of the trivia.
*I also think you are overestimating how common this type of relationship is. Currently, only 109 Pokemon have this type of relationship; just 48 after removing the very obvious cases where all Pokemon sharing a common stat spread are related through evolution (Eeveelutions, Gardevoir/Gallade etc) or are immediately adjacent in the Pokedex (the Pan/Simi monkeys, Legendary clusters made only from Pokemon of 1 gen etc). For comparison, 77 Pokemon have unique base stat totals. Of these remaining 48, the Gen 4-5 Box Dragons form the most noteworthy cluster, and many of the more-apparent ones (Meganium/Venusaur, Drampa/Turtonator etc) already contain this information in their trivia sections, and the relationship between Hoppip/Fomantis could give the latter its first trivia entry.
*I contend that this type of relationship is ''more'' worthy of an entry in a Pokemon's trivia section than "it has the highest HP of a Steel type"; the latter can quickly be identified by any curious party by exploring [[List of Pokémon by base stats (Generation VII-present)]]. What I'm describing is something that can't be revealed at a glance on such an already-noteworthy page.
*I'm honestly quite baffled that your approach was to delete that relationship from the Zubat/Noibat connection; now it's just "these are two Pokemon that resemble the same animal and have a common ability". You made the trivia ''less'' notable than before. Should I add similar "trivia" for all of the bird-like Pokemon with Keen Eye?
*You say that it's obvious that some counterparts would have stats in common. This is certainly true, but it only goes so far. Do you consider Mewtwo and Ho-Oh to be counterparts? Did you know that Giratina/Reshiram had the same stats before I brought it up? And if you find the latter unworthy because it's still "too obvious", this suggests that you feel Porygon/Gloom would be worthy ''because'' it's so random, but you reject that as well. Honestly, it sounds like you're contradicting yourself in an effort to have it both ways.
*I'm going to be frank: Your current rigid approach to trivia entries feels like it flies in the face of what makes a trivia section interesting. One of the most interesting things about the Pokemon franchise is the complex interrelationships between Pokemon species, and your current system of "notability" actively restrains the exploration of such relationships. Your trivia policy feels decidedly anti-trivia and needs either significant revision or less draconian application. [[User:Areku|Areku]] ([[User talk:Areku|talk]]) 19:23, 2 March 2017 (UTC)
:*Oh, those aren't what you think they are. Those split up the '''type''' of trivia. So "Species" are trivia that go on the individual species page, "anime" are trivia that go on the anime page, so on so forth. The trivia section on of itself does not need to be split off, we have (very) large trivia sections (Pikachu comes to my head). The length of trivia sections is a non issue, it's the unnotable content within the trivia the are an issue.
:*Most of the notable or unnotable things on that page were gathered from the trivia and opinions of the time (which was... 2010, I believe), I looked around to see what trivia was considered notable and unnotable by looking at disussions, history revisions, and what trivia was consistently present among pages - hence "agreed upon site-wide". Notability is ever-changing as new opinions come up, which is why it's still in the userspace - it's something that's going to be updated constantly until staff and users alike can come to an agreeable conclusion. As for the Meganium trivia, many pages have trivia that would be unnotable, they're never changed or removed because no one has gotten around to doing so.
:*48 is still quite a large number, and trying to specify specific grouping of Pokémon that are related in one way or another makes it too obvious. Again, notability is subjective and this is ''my'' opinion. Many Pokémon have similar stats but different individual values, 48 or 109 by your count, so it's nothing special and it doesn't mean much. It may be common, but it's '''too''' common, making it '''too''' obvious. Of the Pokémon that you've listed in the latter half of your argument, Turtonator/Drampa are the only one that should mention stat differences - only because it's not the point of the trivia. The point of their trivia is to explain '''how''' and '''why''' they can be considered counterparts. Meganium/Venusaur and Hoppip/Fomantis shouldn't have it as they're not counterparts.
:*"Highest HP of a Steel type" is basic, to the point, and not overtly specific. It is also a fact. Yes, one can see that by looking at another page, but that's one step too many when you can just go to the article of the Pokémon without having to surf through a list. Yes, the trivia you proposed is obscure, but it's too obscure and minor.
:*Eh, I'm okay with it being removed, but decided to keep it to see if someone else thought it had become unnotable.
:*Mewtwo/Ho-oh and Giratina/Reshiram are '''legendaries''', not counterparts. It's obvious that a specific grouping of Pokémon are going to have similar stats. Gloom/Porygon are just two random Pokémon that have similar stats and fall into the "many other Pokémon have similar stats" rule.
:*Sometimes, these complex relationships are just too obvious too identify because the parties of this complex relationship are part of a specific grouping, and as I've said before, it's obvious that legendaries are going to have similar stats.
:*As I mentioned earlier, the trivia policy is ever changing, it's going to be updated constantly until users and staff can come to an agreeable conclusion. So if you have a proposal for trivia notability, you can always bring it up and the staff will make a decision. Stat trivia have been discussed before, back in 2012, and I believe that the decision to make clear cut stat trivia (i.e. highest/lowest stat) the only thing notable. I may have to go back and look, or revisit stat trivia as a whole, as that decision was made five years ago and opinions can change.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 05:52, 3 March 2017 (UTC)

== Sm025 moves ==

So explain to me why the totem Pokemon doesn't have Bite or Hyper Beam? I can see that you're following the "no one said anything despite it being obvious so we are just going to ignore it" logic but you have a page that even says Hyper Beam is not to be questioned. Do the rules just not exist for admins? We even saw Bite not even 5 episodes ago and it worked just the same as this time. Isn't the wiki to add and contribute information, not shun it because its not spoon feed to us?--[[User:Pikablu|Pikablu]] ([[User talk:Pikablu|talk]]) 12:24, 6 May 2017 (UTC)
:Bite could've been {{m|Crunch}}... it's not that hard. The "Hyper Beam" didn't look like Hyper Beam, yellow-ish beam rather than a red or orange beam, it could've been any other beam moves. Also, we send messages to the talk pages of the users that added the information, not on the talk page of the article in dispute. Sending the message directly to the user is more effective, even if there's a good chance that they're not going to read it.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 12:33, 6 May 2017 (UTC)

== Your reverted edit on my edit to necrozma's trivia ==

I think your given reason is invalid, as Necrozma is stated to resemble the Ultra Beasts and appears to have some kind of relationship with them. Necrozma also appears to have some kind of relationship with the Cosmog line, and furthermore, this common trait cannot be a simple coincidence, as there are not that many prime numbers and most Pokemon have base stats that are not prime, with many (particularly Pokemon with BSTs of 600 and 680) having only base stats in multiples of 5, and most Pokemon learning level-up moves at non-prime levels (Cosmog and Cosmoem even evolve at prime number levels, so that line is definitely associated with prime numbers). Why is a non-coincidental common trait with a group of Pokemon it resembles and is somehow related to not notable? (it's also an interesting trait) [[User:PartHunter|PartHunter]] ([[User talk:PartHunter|talk]]) 15:10, 7 May 2017 (UTC)
:It's not a matter of whether they share the trait or why (which is speculation), it's a matter of different standards of notability on group pages and species pages. The trivium exists on the Ultra Beast page because it is describing a trait that the whole group shares (and therefore, the standard of not unique=not notable does not apply, because notability on the group page isn't affected by whether other Pokemon outside the group also share the trait). On individual species pages, the standard of not unique=not notable does apply, so it does not belong on Necrozma, Solgaleo, or wherever else you want to put it.

{{indent}}Eh, I have a lot of counterarguments that I'm not even sure are worth bringing up, so let me just back up to before the UBs got involved and ask one thing: is this prime-number thing notable in and of itself? I don't think it is. Bringing the UBs into the debate turns it into an argument over what constitutes proof that they look enough like UBs, but does it even matter whether they look like them at all? To my knowledge, we don't note on any other Pokemon or group pages when they learn moves at a certain pattern of levels, like every 5th level or alternating between every 7th and 11th levels.

:Every 5 or 7 or 11 levels are easy patterns and don't deserve a name or anything. They don't deserve noting. If some group followed the Fibonacci sequence, ''that'd'' be notable too.

== Regarding the removal of my trivia edit ==

I'm aware that the act of flying doesn't count as the HM move but in [[EP131]], Ash tells his Charizard to use its "Fly attack" (which it never used due to circumstances) as well as the Ash's Charizard page listing Fly as one of it's official moves. Wouldn't that technically make Charizard the first of Ash's Pokemon to KNOW an HM move which I stated before? I also did specify that it KNEW the move but just simply didn't USE it which still makes Ash's Grotle the first of his Pokemon to use an HM move. {{unsigned|Nikuriku}}

== Electabuzz/Magmar Moveset Thingy ==

I was trying to clarify the bit of Electabuzz trivia about learning moves at the same level as Magmar since Gen V, with Fire/Thunder Punch as an example. You then removed the "for example" part... It's just that now, to me anyway, it's saying that the extent of their "similar movesets" is the fact they both learn elemental punches... at some point... which is hardly "similar movesets." I wanted to convey the fact that, at every level one of them learns a move, the other also learns a move (usually a similar one: punches at 29, Discharge/Lava Plume at 36, both of which are moves that damage allies as well as opponents in multi battles, then a status move at 42...).

:Pumpkinking, for my part, I have seen you in general being helpful around the Wiki and here trying to aid in enforcing the decision of a senior administrator. I would be willing to let that slide for you thus for reasons I won't get into here.
:GrammarFreak01, you need to understand something. We have not seen Serena since [[XY140|her arrival in Hoenn]]. While it's very likely she will appear in contests there, we have not seen anything confirming it, and until we do, we cannot say what she's up to. It's like when you go to court to sue someone for damages; you have to prove, in some way, that you have suffered such that damages ought to be awarded to you. This could be something like not receiving rent for an agreement with a rentor for your place, or something simpler like a car accident where the other party is at fault for damages to your vehicle. With no evidence of damages, you get no reward. Similarly here, with no proof that Serena has entered contests, she is not considered a coordinator. If there is later a side episode (as sometimes happens with retired cnaracters from the main anime) where she's seen competing, or if she appears in the main series now on an episode (this has happened in Sinnoh and Unova, in fact), then we may get some answer to this. Until then, she is not a coordinator in our eyes. Force Fire is absolutely correct in his choice here. [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 06:17, 19 May 2017 (UTC)

@Force Fire, it was my understanding that she said something like 'I was really impressed by your Bite' but I do not read or speak Japanesse nor was it I who originally added Bite to Gumshoos's page. I'm also not in any way in charge so if you've found that we cannot confirm the move was Bite- you know what you must do.

@PlayerKing, I knew I would regret even getting involved. I do not speak Japanesse, I don't know what they are saying. I did not add Bite to the page and I am only relaying the reason given by whoever it was that confirmed Bite. As you'd expect, there was dispute at the time of that episode and I thought it had been resolved when somone confirmed Jenny mentioned Bite. I do not decide these things and honestly, I don't care anymore because the amount of times I've come to blows with you specfically over this issue resembles quite a distastful relationship for two people who have no idea where the other lives, how old they are and even if they are a boy or a girl.

Though I would remind you that you DID start all this back around the time of XY071 regarding a Pangoro's Slash attack (Or whatever scratching move it could have been.) Since then, and let me stress that this has been going on for years, myself and a handful of other users have clashed with you ovcer the same issue. Only since then have Pokémon used moves in the anime and we've left them completely undocumented. Undocumented when litterally nobody else ever disputed that that Pangoro used Slash. I tried making a page so that these 'unidentifiable' moves could be at least listed somwhere; [[User:05308/Unidentifiable Moves in the Anime]], but you've never been intrested in solving the problem, just shouting about them. Now search the pages for Bite, Slash, Tackle etc, there are litterally hundreds of moves (before XY071) that were never explicitly confirmed but are documented anyway because people don't care as much about a Thunderbolt possibly being a Thundershock as they do when neither is listed.

== One of your pages ==
On your list of anime Pokemon by capture page, I saw that under Krokorok it says that it had lost "a duet against Pikachu". Is it meant to be duel or is it truly duet. Also another thing under Ash's Totodile of interest is that if one were to freeze frame the episode, it was Ash's Lure ball that hit but I'm not sure if that is significant to the writing of that page.
Also in SM012 it states that team rocket defeats Ash fairly "for the first time since the original series". Are there original series episodes that prove that? If not then could that lines be taken out please?[[User:Nikuriku|Nikuriku]] ([[User talk:Nikuriku|talk]]) 15:59, 25 May 2017 (UTC)

== Your page on moves with unique animations and uploading images ==
About the page you have made(and if you are still working on it as of today) you have put Counter there (I do know the question mark was there) but I would like to say that it may clash with the animation of Mirror Coat and may not be considered unique. I found another unique move animation of interest; Fire Blast as it always produces the kanji 大 when used.

I noticed there were blanks in the table, but I do know some examples where the attack has been specifically used (e.g. Sand Attack and Ember in the original series). However I'm not sure on how to get/take high quality images of a scene in the anime where the move is executed. Do you know if there is any way to take good screenshots?

Also is there a special method for images to be uploaded in Bulbapedia? Correct me if I'm wrong but I heard that one has to make a certain(precise number is hidden) amount of edits on an Archives page before being allowed to upload images.[[User:Nikuriku|Nikuriku]] ([[User talk:Nikuriku|talk]]) 06:50, 6 June 2017 (UTC)
:The page is still in the works, yes. I've only looked through the first 100 or so Gen I moves, so that's why Fire Blast isn't on there yet. As for Counter, I wasn't sure if Counter being mostly red in coloration, as opposed to Mirror Coat's white coloration, would make it unique, though I'd have to check other moves as well.
:You can take images by taking a screenshot of the episode, shop out any of the logo or text, and/or resize it to the wiki's standard (if it's not at that size).

:: Thank you for the information. But regarding the autoconfirmation on the archives page, I'm not sure on what to actually do on the archives page in terms of contributing in order to be autoconfirmed to upload images. Because to contribute requires one to upload but for those not confirmed cannot upload, so I view the contribution and confirmation as overlapping. So could you tell me on some specific things to do for one to contribute to the archives page before they can upload as I have little knowledge on how it works?
:: Also I added a small list on the discussion page on your unique animation page of some attacks to have a look at. If I don't get autoconfirmed in a while, I may just send the images over to you in some other way for you to judge whether they would be good enough for the page.[[User:Nikuriku|Nikuriku]] ([[User talk:Nikuriku|talk]]) 03:44, 7 June 2017 (UTC)
:::Yeah, it can be hard to find anything to edit on the archive since it's not its main purpose, but there are things you can do (like tagging untagged images, putting summaries for images that don't have them etc..). I don't exactly remember what edit I made to get autoconfirmed, but I think it was one of the two I mentioned.

::::Actually, when Force Fire started editing, there was no autoconfirmed on Archives. I know because I uploaded [https://archives.bulbagarden.net/wiki/File:Unova_Route_10_B2W2_closed.png this image] as my first edit there in 2012 (changed three years later), and later on I also got hit with the autoconfirmed flag. As noted, you may have to just edit tags. One possible method is that you can seek help uploading the image and then you can add the tags and info needed. Checking newly referenced images, such as in anime articles, is a good way to find images that you can verify are fully tagged and info properly noted. Alternatively, you can ask an Archives administrator (see [http://archives.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Archives:Staff Archives Staff] if there's anything you can work on and they can give you some direction.

==Screenshooting and your page on unique anime move animations==
Hi, I would like to express my thanks to you and Cyclone for helping me get autoconfirmed on the Archives.
But another question I would like to ask is how to be able to take screenshots on a 3DS along with recommended image size for uploads? Because I noticed a LOT of moves requiring their Gen VII move animation and whether to upload it as a GIF or general .png file? Note that some of my uploads were in 1280x720, not sure if that is appropriate
Also would I be allowed to add some table columns to your page on unique move animations in the future? Because I know a few notable moves which could be put down on the page.[[User:Nikuriku|Nikuriku]] ([[User talk:Nikuriku|talk]]) 13:18, 16 June 2017 (UTC)
:No problems. You can get screenshots from a 3DS with a capture device, which can be expensive. The images should be uploaded as .png, and (if I recall correctly) the reason the post Gen V move images aren't animated is because it'd make the images too heavy considering the frames and it'd most likely put stress on the server.
:The idea I had for the unique move animations page was to do it by generation first, i.e. pick out Gen I moves and discuss to weed out any questionable animations (like counter or hyper beam), and then move on to the next generation. I'm free this weekend, so I'll review the list you provided on the articles talk page.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 00:32, 17 June 2017 (UTC)

Alright so this is going to seem kind of random but could you possibly restore the page for my old account on here so I can view the history of it? I made an account on here when I was in like middle school and made a bunch of cringe edits and had a user page that was exactly what you'd expect from a 13 year old who just figured out how to use a wiki and then like years later i deleted it all because i thought it was really embarrassing and you deleted my account https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/User:The_Reverend_A_K

But now I have a super mildly popular youtube channel (which i'm not going to post so this doesn't seem like it's just the most elaborate way to promote my channel ever) and i think it would actually be super funny to make a video with my original competitive team that i had like an RMT for on my page. So yeah if you could let me see it i'd give you a big ole smooch but if you can't then that's fine too.

Images I mentioned in a previous post will be coming soon once I have some more time to get move images from the Original Series DVD's for better quality.

Also I would like to ask advice for structuring an Underleveled Pokemon page is that should the tables be just one large table for all underleveled Pokemon in the core series or should I split the tables by doing one table for each generation on underleveled Pokemon?

Another thing would be for spin-off games like the Mystery Dungeon series, should I have a separate article for each Mystery Dungeon game or one whole article for all underleveled Pokemon in the Mystery Dungeon titles?
Thanks ahead[[User:Nikuriku|Nikuriku]] ([[User talk:Nikuriku|talk]]) 03:55, 25 June 2017 (UTC)
:I'll look through the moves at some point, thanks.
:I think it should be split between games, a long table can be very difficult to edit through.

==Adding images for Gen VII moves==
Hi, I would like to ask on the number of images to display on an article about an attack? Because I noticed some moves (e.g. Parabolic Charge) has only one image and others (E.g. Seismic Toss) has two images displayed at the top. So I would like to ask on how many images I should have to update move images so it displays the Gen VII move instead of the Gen VI attack.

Another thing I would like to ask is how to replaces images on the page and move older images to the bottom of the page as I'm unfamiliar with that kind of editing

Also is it just me or is there a lot more GIFS on Bulbapedia? Not sure if it was always like that as my PC usually doesn't play GIFS but today it seems that what previously was GIFS that are now images suddenly work as GIFS again.

Thanks ahead[[User:Nikuriku|Nikuriku]] ([[User talk:Nikuriku|talk]]) 08:07, 1 July 2017 (UTC)
:I believe moves have two images if there are two phases for the animation. For example, Seismic Toss has the opponent thrown in the air before the impact animation. Moves that are just the basic impact animations just get one image.
:Save the current image as a separate file (preferable File:<move> Gen VI.png) and replace the current one, while reuploading the old image iunder the new filename.
:Browsers require an add on for GIFs to work, my browser doesn't have the add on, so GIFs don't work for me.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 05:43, 2 July 2017 (UTC)

2. On your unique animations page, when a time is convenient could you please check over the list of moves that cover up to Gen II?

3. For that same page would it be relevant to upload images of other Pokemon using such moves? Just asking in case they get removed for not being relevant enough as some spaces don't have images despite some Pokemon series having a Pokemon use such moves.
Thanks--[[User:Nikuriku|Nikuriku]] ([[User talk:Nikuriku|talk]]) 01:52, 23 July 2017 (UTC)
:1) Your edit was fine, just make sure to separate the "in other gen" templates as putting all the images in one template will stretch the template off screen for users with smaller screens.

== Fairy type ==

So does the fairy type exist or not? Because we have seen in that chapter that they exist from moves like misty terrain and Pokemon like diancie.

:Using a Fairy type move in a Gen VI era manga doesn't make the move a fairy type? That rule only goes for Pokémon and moves that '''changed''' types and gained the new type. If a Pokémon used Bite and has been using Bite since Generation I, then the template will show the move as a Normal type unless specified as a Dark type move.

==Idea==
As I am putting in the numbers for the different Alola numbers in the number disambiguation pages I am thinking that it needs to be slightly redone, by listing the general number number first and placing in the other entries as subnotes like this:

* #008 {{p|Brionne}}, in the {{DL|List of Pokémon by Alola Pokédex number|Alola Pokédex}}
** #008 {{p|Brionne}}, in the {{DL|List of Pokémon by Alola Pokédex number|Melemele Alola Pokédex}}
** #008 {{p|Caterpie}}, in the {{DL|List of Pokémon by Alola Pokédex number|Akala Alola Pokédex}}
** #008 {{p|Ledyba}}, in the {{DL|List of Pokémon by Alola Pokédex number|Ula'ula Alola Pokédex}}
** #008 {{p|Happiny}}, in the {{DL|List of Pokémon by Alola Pokédex number|Poni Alola Pokédex}}

This is only because the Alola Pokedex takes a much different approach from the Kalos Pokedex where there is one part that is the number for all the Pokémon, and other for a specific area, instead of just listing one Pokémon in each area. Also despite the appearance of this draft I am sending to you I am willing to remove unneeded links (same Pokémon listed more than once and all DL links except the first one). What do you think? -[[User:Tyler53841|Tyler53841]] ([[User talk:Tyler53841|talk]]) 16:28, 1 December 2016 (UTC)
:Sorry to butt in, but if you consult your in-game dex, it's clear that the island dexes don't use different numbering systems for different Pokemon. Brionne is the only #008 in Alola. For example, the Akala Dex starts with #010 Pikipek, continues on through #019 Butterfree, then skips to #027 Grubbin, and so on. The islands just use the same numbers as the overall Alola Dex, even though they have only a subset of the Pokemon.

== Move pages ==

My question is rather trivial, but I will ask nonetheless. I notice, that on every move page, the column which displayed the Types of the Pokémon that learn a specified move has been replaced by Egg Groups. Is there a particular reason to it, as it seems rather odd to do so now, when the Types are what the move pages go by, since (maybe) the beginning of the site. [[User:Harryghost|Harryghost]] ([[User talk:Harryghost|talk]]) 16:40, 13 December 2016 (UTC)
:I'd like to second this question. It doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me to remove the types; why not list the egg groups alongside the types? To me, the types are a basic piece of information. They're usually listed anywhere Pokemon are listed, whereas egg groups aren't an often used piece of info. Is there a reason for the change? And was there even a discussion aside from one between admins? I feel like input from other users could have been beneficial. '''[[User:Slimey01|slimey]][[User talk:Slimey01|01]]''' 17:10, 13 December 2016 (UTC)
::I don't think he's online ATM, but I can answer this question. If he wishes to add to it, he can do so.
::The reason behind the specific species being removed is more of an issue of space. The breeding tables, on Gen. I move pages especially, were starting to get extremely long. So it was decided, instead of listing 20-30 members of the Egg Group who are capable of passing the move via breeding, we instead just list the actual Egg Group. This leaves it to the user to do the research for each speccies within the Egg Group(s) who is capable of learning a breedable move. For instance, when you look at {{m|Ice Beam}}, you see {{p|Psyduck}} can learn it via breeding and is a Water 1/Field pair of Egg Groups; you find either ({{p|Seel}} and {{p|Dewgong}} each in fact satisfy both) and breed it. It's easier than putting a full species list.
::The second reason, which relates to this, is because at times there have been errors even within our information, or missing species. Listing just the Egg Group automatically includes everyone in the Egg Group with no errors (provided the Egg Group is correct in the first place).
::The question then becomes one of chain breeding identification; ATM, there are notes in the coding about which involve chain breeds, but right now there is no option within the table. Once you identify one that is a chain breed, breed THAT species to get the proper parent and then breed THAT to get the desired result. Even without checking the notes, it might be possible to look for matching Egg Groups in places and figure out the connection; for example, {{p|Skrelp}} (a Water 1/Dragon group) can learn {{m|Acid Armor}}, but needs one of its Egg Groups; this can be done via {{p|Shellos}}, a Water 1/Amphorous, which can directly breed with {{p|Grimer}} or {{p|Muk}}. Coincidentally, {{p|Goomy}} can then pick it up from Skrelp as the third link in the chain, and it's the only way Goomy can get the move. This is how you use the Egg Group informarion to find the parents.

:Hi Bubblymice. I believe Force Fire is offline at this time of day, so perhaps I can be of assistance to you.
:First of all, before even worrying about how to edit userspace, you need to know how to sign a comment on a talk page. This is done by typing <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>, the tilde sign. On my keyboard, it's to the left of the number keys on the top row, but other keyboards may have it in other locations. Typing that four tildes gives a signature much like the one at the end of this comment. Please use that when commenting on talk pages as it's easier to track who is saying what.
:In regards to your actual question, Force Fire most likely does not know how much you have to edit to gain the ability to edit your userspace. With that said, however, it's important to note that editing userspace is a privilege, not a right. You are required to continue to be helpful to Bulbapedia to even be allowed to edit your userspace. Notice my own personal userspace page; I have had the ability for a long time, and was notorious for always having a userpage redlink, but after a few years finally decided something should be there, so put up what's there. I don't believe I've edited it since, as it's not important and adding all sorts of userspace tags isn't going to help Bulbapedia. So I don't waste my time there. More importantly, however, is the actual {{bp|Userspace policy|userspace policy}}. I suggest you review it as it gives you this answer: "Your account is not {{bp|Autoconfirmed users|autoconfirmed}}: a special status is required before you can edit your userpage; this can be automatically earned by editing Bulbapedia's {{bp|mainspace}}". You can then head over to the "Autoconfirmed users" page (it's linked here, please follow it) for any questions related to obtaining that status.
:Should you have any further questions, please feel free to reply further here. If you do reply, make sure to use colons - that is, : - to indent your reply appropriately. For future concerns, note that it's advised to first contact a {{bp|Junior Administrator}} like myself as we are the starting point on the staff hierarchy, and able to answer the most general questions. Questions beyond our scope to answer can then be escalated beyond us to the {{bp|Administrator}} level, and so on. We also have direct contact with higher staff and may be able to get an answer for you regardless. Cheers! [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 18:01, 19 January 2017 (UTC)

== Now that SS036 "The Legend of X, Y, and Z" has been released in English... ==

...Is it fair to say we can add Zygarde to the trio?

In the episode, Alexa and Sycamore tell the story of Xerneas, Yveltal, and Zygarde, which are written about in a legend called the Chapter of the Stone-Eyed Maiden.

A "Y" symbol on the Chapter of the Stone-Eyed Maiden references Yveltal.
An "X" symbol on the Chapter of the Stone-Eyed Maiden references Xerneas.
A "Z" symbol on the Chapter of the Stone-Eyed Maiden references Zygarde, which appeared after Xerneas was angered.

After telling the story, Sycamore says, "I believe both Xerneas and Yveltal are incarnations of nature that take care of the land, that is their task and their purpose. And when the natural order is undone, Zygarde appears in order to balance it. These three powerful Pokemon preside over the neverending cycle of life."

== Re: Why did you remove the trivium I added about Ash's Original series outfit in the XY Series trivium? ==

Hi there, I asked on the [[Talk:XY series|XY series talk page]] and asked if I can add the trivium about Ash's original series outfit not being shown (including flashbacks). I've watched every single XY series episode and found Ash's original series outfit not shown at all in a single episode, not even including flashbacks. How come that trivium needed to be removed from the Trivia page in the XY series? I don't normally have any problems with anyone undoing my edits but I just don't understand why that part of the trivium needed to be removed and I was never trying to edit war. Can you please let me know why that part of the trivium I added needed to be removed even though it was true? Thank you.

== Trivia ==

After reviewing your policies, I have a few questions.

* Why is the section called "Trivia" if it is not intended to contain obscure, minor details? If the concern is that the section would become cluttered with information or otherwsie become more difficult to read, perhaps consider dividing the section as clearly on the page as you've divided it in your policy.
* How is it possible for one person (or a small group of people) to remove information from a "trivia" section on the grounds that it "isn't interesting/notable"? Your policy acknowledges that different details are interesting to different people, so "notability" seems like a flimsy and ill-defined basis for considering what trivia is and is not allowed; this holds true in spite of your efforts to specify some parameters. Again, maybe "Trivia" is not an appropriate name for the section if this is how its content is determined.
* Inconsistency in notability. How is my trivia on legendary stat distribution less notable than {{p|Suicune}} being the only legendary beast that ''doesn't'' have a unique Effort Value yield? Being slightly less notable than two other Pokemon doesn't seem very notable to me. Or is it simply a submission that has fallen below the radar despite EpicDeino's open invitation to remove it if it isn't notable (13 August 2016)?

Anyway, this is the part where I explain why I think my trivia complies with your policy (aside from failing to submit it to the discussion section first, which won't happen again now that I've read the could-be-more-prominently-displayed policy).

* My trivia identify 2 stat combinations that are unique throughout the entire Pokedex and that are each applied exclusively to Legendary Pokemon across different gens (1-2 and 4-5). This makes it more notable than the fact that most sets of Legendaries do the same thing but only with their immediately-obvious counterparts from their own generation (it's also more notable than other forms of obviously-related Pokemon such as the Eeveelutions). The trivia is even more compelling in the case of gens 4-5, as the affected Pokemon are also all dual-typed Dragons that represent a fundamental force/trait/concept in the universe ''and'' all 5 of these dragons are featured on the cover of a main-series game. Altogether, I feel that this trivia is more closely related in nature to your "Flame Pokemon" example than to your understandable adherence to what makes a "unique/notable stat".
* Would you find this trivia more appropriate if I structured it and the other relationships I described above in the same way as the {{p|Noibat}}/Zubat relationship?

As a side note, I didn't add this trivia indiscriminately simply because it's something I noticed. The same process that revealed this relationship also revealed that Gloom and Porygon have the exact same stats except for swapped HP/Attack (as but one example), but I felt those didn't strike the right convergence of interesting, not-immediately-obvious and logical-in-hindsight. [[User:Areku|Areku]] ([[User talk:Areku|talk]]) 20:11, 1 March 2017 (UTC)

:(Not to start anything but personally I absolutely agree here and honestly - the exact Gloom/Porygon thing mentioned is what I would consider most Trivia worthy. Because it is an absolutely useless, absolutely obscure information unless you were looking for it and that's what a trivium should be. The Trivia category is definitely one I read most often here and facts like that are the reason I do it. Otherwise there's a lot of Trivia content that's not really interesting (the Suicune's EV yield is a great example) and there should be a better system for this. Also regarding the way the Trivia Policy is hidden, I can't even find it on your userpage.) [[User:KingisNitro|KingisNitro]] ([[User talk:KingisNitro|talk]]) 21:07, 1 March 2017 (UTC)
::*It's called the trivia section because it's what it is, a section for trivia. Not sure what you mean by splitting the trivia section up, if you're njot referring to the "origin"/"Name origin"/etc, I don't think it's necessary to split them up any further. And my trivia policy doesn't split up anything.
::*Notability is subjective. The policy is to boil down what is and isn't notable to get rid of any subjective opinions, i.e. a rule that everyone can agree on (like unique types being agreed as notable site wide). There are of course no wrong or right opinion, but anything on the notable or unnotable sections of that policy are generally things that are agreed to be notable site wide. Smaller things are just a case by case basis.
::*Your trivia was removed because it was a tie for a "normal" base stat and was too specific (I'll explain later when I get through the other part of this point). The Suicune trivia is not notable and should be removed, as one out of three is too small of a group to be notable. Simply put, the Suicune trivia wasn't notable and did not get removed because it was most likely overlooked.
::*The trivia you proposed was too specific, at least the way you worded it. Only ties for the ''highest''' or '''lowest''' base stat total are notable, everything in between is not. We do this so not to clutter the trivia section with other ties for non highest/lowest base stat totals. And the part about their individual base stat being different is too specific, it does not matter that their individual base stats are different. It's too minor and widespread to note, as every other Pokémon with shared base stat total have different base stat values.
::*As for the legendaries having the same base stat total as their counterpart or dragon legendaries having the same base stat total because their mascot Pokémon is just too obvious. Counterparts are clearly going to have similar stats.
::*Category trivia is a different thing, it's not restricted to a set of things, like how there are 18 types, so it's restricted to that number. CAtegory is not restricted to a set number of words and they (Nintendo) could use a whole range of words. The Zubat/Noibat trivia is a comparison trivia, again different. Although the mention of them having similar base stat total with different base stat values should be removed as per my reasoning earlier.
::*I initially thought you meant the Porygon/Gloom thing was on their pages. But again, it's too minor, specific, and widespread. ''Many'' Pokémon with the same base stat total have different individual base stat.
::*@KingIsNitro, it's on my userpage in the infobox, under subpages.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 05:35, 2 March 2017 (UTC)

*Your policy very clearly divides trivia into 7 different categories. You even have a template at the bottom of the page that leads to separate hyperlinks describing each in greater detail. One of my proposals is less restrictive "notability" criteria for trivia entries, and if any given trivia section becomes too large or otherwise difficult to read, split it up according to these categories rather than deleting things you personally don't find "notable".
*I understand that some measures must be taken to prevent utterly banal trivia from rendering the section unreadable, but I feel that a strictly literal interpretation of your current policy is too restrictive. Case in point: might as well delete {{p|Meganium}}'s entire trivia section.
*Some portions of your explanation convey a lack of understanding of my submission. I'm not saying it's notable that these Pokemon have the same base stat '''total''', I'm saying they have the same individual '''stats''' just in a different order. That they would have the same total is one obvious consequence and is not the focus of the trivia.
*I also think you are overestimating how common this type of relationship is. Currently, only 109 Pokemon have this type of relationship; just 48 after removing the very obvious cases where all Pokemon sharing a common stat spread are related through evolution (Eeveelutions, Gardevoir/Gallade etc) or are immediately adjacent in the Pokedex (the Pan/Simi monkeys, Legendary clusters made only from Pokemon of 1 gen etc). For comparison, 77 Pokemon have unique base stat totals. Of these remaining 48, the Gen 4-5 Box Dragons form the most noteworthy cluster, and many of the more-apparent ones (Meganium/Venusaur, Drampa/Turtonator etc) already contain this information in their trivia sections, and the relationship between Hoppip/Fomantis could give the latter its first trivia entry.
*I contend that this type of relationship is ''more'' worthy of an entry in a Pokemon's trivia section than "it has the highest HP of a Steel type"; the latter can quickly be identified by any curious party by exploring [[List of Pokémon by base stats (Generation VII-present)]]. What I'm describing is something that can't be revealed at a glance on such an already-noteworthy page.
*I'm honestly quite baffled that your approach was to delete that relationship from the Zubat/Noibat connection; now it's just "these are two Pokemon that resemble the same animal and have a common ability". You made the trivia ''less'' notable than before. Should I add similar "trivia" for all of the bird-like Pokemon with Keen Eye?
*You say that it's obvious that some counterparts would have stats in common. This is certainly true, but it only goes so far. Do you consider Mewtwo and Ho-Oh to be counterparts? Did you know that Giratina/Reshiram had the same stats before I brought it up? And if you find the latter unworthy because it's still "too obvious", this suggests that you feel Porygon/Gloom would be worthy ''because'' it's so random, but you reject that as well. Honestly, it sounds like you're contradicting yourself in an effort to have it both ways.
*I'm going to be frank: Your current rigid approach to trivia entries feels like it flies in the face of what makes a trivia section interesting. One of the most interesting things about the Pokemon franchise is the complex interrelationships between Pokemon species, and your current system of "notability" actively restrains the exploration of such relationships. Your trivia policy feels decidedly anti-trivia and needs either significant revision or less draconian application. [[User:Areku|Areku]] ([[User talk:Areku|talk]]) 19:23, 2 March 2017 (UTC)
:*Oh, those aren't what you think they are. Those split up the '''type''' of trivia. So "Species" are trivia that go on the individual species page, "anime" are trivia that go on the anime page, so on so forth. The trivia section on of itself does not need to be split off, we have (very) large trivia sections (Pikachu comes to my head). The length of trivia sections is a non issue, it's the unnotable content within the trivia the are an issue.
:*Most of the notable or unnotable things on that page were gathered from the trivia and opinions of the time (which was... 2010, I believe), I looked around to see what trivia was considered notable and unnotable by looking at disussions, history revisions, and what trivia was consistently present among pages - hence "agreed upon site-wide". Notability is ever-changing as new opinions come up, which is why it's still in the userspace - it's something that's going to be updated constantly until staff and users alike can come to an agreeable conclusion. As for the Meganium trivia, many pages have trivia that would be unnotable, they're never changed or removed because no one has gotten around to doing so.
:*48 is still quite a large number, and trying to specify specific grouping of Pokémon that are related in one way or another makes it too obvious. Again, notability is subjective and this is ''my'' opinion. Many Pokémon have similar stats but different individual values, 48 or 109 by your count, so it's nothing special and it doesn't mean much. It may be common, but it's '''too''' common, making it '''too''' obvious. Of the Pokémon that you've listed in the latter half of your argument, Turtonator/Drampa are the only one that should mention stat differences - only because it's not the point of the trivia. The point of their trivia is to explain '''how''' and '''why''' they can be considered counterparts. Meganium/Venusaur and Hoppip/Fomantis shouldn't have it as they're not counterparts.
:*"Highest HP of a Steel type" is basic, to the point, and not overtly specific. It is also a fact. Yes, one can see that by looking at another page, but that's one step too many when you can just go to the article of the Pokémon without having to surf through a list. Yes, the trivia you proposed is obscure, but it's too obscure and minor.
:*Eh, I'm okay with it being removed, but decided to keep it to see if someone else thought it had become unnotable.
:*Mewtwo/Ho-oh and Giratina/Reshiram are '''legendaries''', not counterparts. It's obvious that a specific grouping of Pokémon are going to have similar stats. Gloom/Porygon are just two random Pokémon that have similar stats and fall into the "many other Pokémon have similar stats" rule.
:*Sometimes, these complex relationships are just too obvious too identify because the parties of this complex relationship are part of a specific grouping, and as I've said before, it's obvious that legendaries are going to have similar stats.
:*As I mentioned earlier, the trivia policy is ever changing, it's going to be updated constantly until users and staff can come to an agreeable conclusion. So if you have a proposal for trivia notability, you can always bring it up and the staff will make a decision. Stat trivia have been discussed before, back in 2012, and I believe that the decision to make clear cut stat trivia (i.e. highest/lowest stat) the only thing notable. I may have to go back and look, or revisit stat trivia as a whole, as that decision was made five years ago and opinions can change.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 05:52, 3 March 2017 (UTC)

So explain to me why the totem Pokemon doesn't have Bite or Hyper Beam? I can see that you're following the "no one said anything despite it being obvious so we are just going to ignore it" logic but you have a page that even says Hyper Beam is not to be questioned. Do the rules just not exist for admins? We even saw Bite not even 5 episodes ago and it worked just the same as this time.

:Bite could've been {{m|Crunch}}... it's not that hard. The "Hyper Beam" didn't look like Hyper Beam, yellow-ish beam rather than a red or orange beam, it could've been any other beam moves. Also, we send messages to the talk pages of the users that added the information, not on the talk page of the article in dispute.

== Your reverted edit on my edit to necrozma's trivia ==

I think your given reason is invalid, as Necrozma is stated to resemble the Ultra Beasts and appears to have some kind of relationship with them. Necrozma also appears to have some kind of relationship with the Cosmog line, and furthermore, this common trait cannot be a simple coincidence, as there are not that many prime numbers and most Pokemon have base stats that are not prime, with many (particularly Pokemon with BSTs of 600 and 680) having only base stats in multiples of 5, and most Pokemon learning level-up moves at non-prime levels (Cosmog and Cosmoem even evolve at prime number levels, so that line is definitely associated with prime numbers). Why is a non-coincidental common trait with a group of Pokemon it resembles and is somehow related to not notable? (it's also an interesting trait) [[User:PartHunter|PartHunter]] ([[User talk:PartHunter|talk]]) 15:10, 7 May 2017 (UTC)
:It's not a matter of whether they share the trait or why (which is speculation), it's a matter of different standards of notability on group pages and species pages. The trivium exists on the Ultra Beast page because it is describing a trait that the whole group shares (and therefore, the standard of not unique=not notable does not apply, because notability on the group page isn't affected by whether other Pokemon outside the group also share the trait). On individual species pages, the standard of not unique=not notable does apply, so it does not belong on Necrozma, Solgaleo, or wherever else you want to put it.

{{indent}}Eh, I have a lot of counterarguments that I'm not even sure are worth bringing up, so let me just back up to before the UBs got involved and ask one thing: is this prime-number thing notable in and of itself? I don't think it is. Bringing the UBs into the debate turns it into an argument over what constitutes proof that they look enough like UBs, but does it even matter whether they look like them at all? To my knowledge, we don't note on any other Pokemon or group pages when they learn moves at a certain pattern of levels, like every 5th level or alternating between every 7th and 11th levels.

:Every 5 or 7 or 11 levels are easy patterns and don't deserve a name or anything. They don't deserve noting. If some group followed the Fibonacci sequence, ''that'd'' be notable too.

== Regarding the removal of my trivia edit ==

I'm aware that the act of flying doesn't count as the HM move but in [[EP131]], Ash tells his Charizard to use its "Fly attack" (which it never used due to circumstances) as well as the Ash's Charizard page listing Fly as one of it's official moves. Wouldn't that technically make Charizard the first of Ash's Pokemon to KNOW an HM move which I stated before? I also did specify that it KNEW the move but just simply didn't USE it which still makes Ash's Grotle the first of his Pokemon to use an HM move. {{unsigned|Nikuriku}}

== Electabuzz/Magmar Moveset Thingy ==

I was trying to clarify the bit of Electabuzz trivia about learning moves at the same level as Magmar since Gen V, with Fire/Thunder Punch as an example. You then removed the "for example" part... It's just that now, to me anyway, it's saying that the extent of their "similar movesets" is the fact they both learn elemental punches... at some point... which is hardly "similar movesets." I wanted to convey the fact that, at every level one of them learns a move, the other also learns a move (usually a similar one: punches at 29, Discharge/Lava Plume at 36, both of which are moves that damage allies as well as opponents in multi battles, then a status move at 42...).

:Pumpkinking, for my part, I have seen you in general being helpful around the Wiki and here trying to aid in enforcing the decision of a senior administrator. I would be willing to let that slide for you thus for reasons I won't get into here.
:GrammarFreak01, you need to understand something. We have not seen Serena since [[XY140|her arrival in Hoenn]]. While it's very likely she will appear in contests there, we have not seen anything confirming it, and until we do, we cannot say what she's up to. It's like when you go to court to sue someone for damages; you have to prove, in some way, that you have suffered such that damages ought to be awarded to you. This could be something like not receiving rent for an agreement with a rentor for your place, or something simpler like a car accident where the other party is at fault for damages to your vehicle. With no evidence of damages, you get no reward. Similarly here, with no proof that Serena has entered contests, she is not considered a coordinator. If there is later a side episode (as sometimes happens with retired cnaracters from the main anime) where she's seen competing, or if she appears in the main series now on an episode (this has happened in Sinnoh and Unova, in fact), then we may get some answer to this. Until then, she is not a coordinator in our eyes. Force Fire is absolutely correct in his choice here. [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 06:17, 19 May 2017 (UTC)

::::If the move has a '''unique animation''', then yes we can assume moves. Bite '''does not''' have a unique animation. Those are separate instances. Just because one Pokémon used a move that was called out, it doesn't count for all of them. It's a case by case thing. "Oh, but why would it be separate moves if they all used the same animation?" Because the writers and animators can just do that. We can't guess what they're going to do, they might come up with one animation for Stone Edge for one episode and change the animation in the next episode. We cannot assume. We cannot guess. Doing so is prone for error.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 09:26, 20 May 2017 (UTC)

@Force Fire, it was my understanding that she said something like 'I was really impressed by your Bite' but I do not read or speak Japanesse nor was it I who originally added Bite to Gumshoos's page. I'm also not in any way in charge so if you've found that we cannot confirm the move was Bite- you know what you must do.

@PlayerKing, I knew I would regret even getting involved. I do not speak Japanesse, I don't know what they are saying. I did not add Bite to the page and I am only relaying the reason given by whoever it was that confirmed Bite. As you'd expect, there was dispute at the time of that episode and I thought it had been resolved when somone confirmed Jenny mentioned Bite. I do not decide these things and honestly, I don't care anymore because the amount of times I've come to blows with you specfically over this issue resembles quite a distastful relationship for two people who have no idea where the other lives, how old they are and even if they are a boy or a girl.

Though I would remind you that you DID start all this back around the time of XY071 regarding a Pangoro's Slash attack (Or whatever scratching move it could have been.) Since then, and let me stress that this has been going on for years, myself and a handful of other users have clashed with you ovcer the same issue. Only since then have Pokémon used moves in the anime and we've left them completely undocumented. Undocumented when litterally nobody else ever disputed that that Pangoro used Slash. I tried making a page so that these 'unidentifiable' moves could be at least listed somwhere; [[User:05308/Unidentifiable Moves in the Anime]], but you've never been intrested in solving the problem, just shouting about them. Now search the pages for Bite, Slash, Tackle etc, there are litterally hundreds of moves (before XY071) that were never explicitly confirmed but are documented anyway because people don't care as much about a Thunderbolt possibly being a Thundershock as they do when neither is listed.

== One of your pages ==
On your list of anime Pokemon by capture page, I saw that under Krokorok it says that it had lost "a duet against Pikachu". Is it meant to be duel or is it truly duet. Also another thing under Ash's Totodile of interest is that if one were to freeze frame the episode, it was Ash's Lure ball that hit but I'm not sure if that is significant to the writing of that page.
Also in SM012 it states that team rocket defeats Ash fairly "for the first time since the original series". Are there original series episodes that prove that? If not then could that lines be taken out please?[[User:Nikuriku|Nikuriku]] ([[User talk:Nikuriku|talk]]) 15:59, 25 May 2017 (UTC)

== Your page on moves with unique animations and uploading images ==
About the page you have made(and if you are still working on it as of today) you have put Counter there (I do know the question mark was there) but I would like to say that it may clash with the animation of Mirror Coat and may not be considered unique. I found another unique move animation of interest; Fire Blast as it always produces the kanji 大 when used.

I noticed there were blanks in the table, but I do know some examples where the attack has been specifically used (e.g. Sand Attack and Ember in the original series). However I'm not sure on how to get/take high quality images of a scene in the anime where the move is executed. Do you know if there is any way to take good screenshots?

Also is there a special method for images to be uploaded in Bulbapedia? Correct me if I'm wrong but I heard that one has to make a certain(precise number is hidden) amount of edits on an Archives page before being allowed to upload images.[[User:Nikuriku|Nikuriku]] ([[User talk:Nikuriku|talk]]) 06:50, 6 June 2017 (UTC)
:The page is still in the works, yes. I've only looked through the first 100 or so Gen I moves, so that's why Fire Blast isn't on there yet. As for Counter, I wasn't sure if Counter being mostly red in coloration, as opposed to Mirror Coat's white coloration, would make it unique, though I'd have to check other moves as well.
:You can take images by taking a screenshot of the episode, shop out any of the logo or text, and/or resize it to the wiki's standard (if it's not at that size).
:The autoconfirmed requirements are the same on the archives as they are on the wiki. You have to be autoconfirmed on the archives first before you can start uploading images.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 11:57, 6 June 2017 (UTC)
:: Thank you for the information. But regarding the autoconfirmation on the archives page, I'm not sure on what to actually do on the archives page in terms of contributing in order to be autoconfirmed to upload images. Because to contribute requires one to upload but for those not confirmed cannot upload, so I view the contribution and confirmation as overlapping. So could you tell me on some specific things to do for one to contribute to the archives page before they can upload as I have little knowledge on how it works?
:: Also I added a small list on the discussion page on your unique animation page of some attacks to have a look at. If I don't get autoconfirmed in a while, I may just send the images over to you in some other way for you to judge whether they would be good enough for the page.[[User:Nikuriku|Nikuriku]] ([[User talk:Nikuriku|talk]]) 03:44, 7 June 2017 (UTC)
:::Yeah, it can be hard to find anything to edit on the archive since it's not its main purpose, but there are things you can do (like tagging untagged images, putting summaries for images that don't have them etc..). I don't exactly remember what edit I made to get autoconfirmed, but I think it was one of the two I mentioned.
:::As for the page, I'll look through the remainder of the Gen I moves when I'm not super busy.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 03:56, 9 June 2017 (UTC)
::::Actually, when Force Fire started editing, there was no autoconfirmed on Archives. I know because I uploaded [https://archives.bulbagarden.net/wiki/File:Unova_Route_10_B2W2_closed.png this image] as my first edit there in 2012 (changed three years later), and later on I also got hit with the autoconfirmed flag. As noted, you may have to just edit tags. One possible method is that you can seek help uploading the image and then you can add the tags and info needed. Checking newly referenced images, such as in anime articles, is a good way to find images that you can verify are fully tagged and info properly noted. Alternatively, you can ask an Archives administrator (see [http://archives.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Archives:Staff Archives Staff] if there's anything you can work on and they can give you some direction.

==Screenshooting and your page on unique anime move animations==
Hi, I would like to express my thanks to you and Cyclone for helping me get autoconfirmed on the Archives.
But another question I would like to ask is how to be able to take screenshots on a 3DS along with recommended image size for uploads? Because I noticed a LOT of moves requiring their Gen VII move animation and whether to upload it as a GIF or general .png file? Note that some of my uploads were in 1280x720, not sure if that is appropriate
Also would I be allowed to add some table columns to your page on unique move animations in the future? Because I know a few notable moves which could be put down on the page.[[User:Nikuriku|Nikuriku]] ([[User talk:Nikuriku|talk]]) 13:18, 16 June 2017 (UTC)
:No problems. You can get screenshots from a 3DS with a capture device, which can be expensive. The images should be uploaded as .png, and (if I recall correctly) the reason the post Gen V move images aren't animated is because it'd make the images too heavy considering the frames and it'd most likely put stress on the server.
:The idea I had for the unique move animations page was to do it by generation first, i.e. pick out Gen I moves and discuss to weed out any questionable animations (like counter or hyper beam), and then move on to the next generation. I'm free this weekend, so I'll review the list you provided on the articles talk page.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 00:32, 17 June 2017 (UTC)

I made an account on here when I was in like middle school and made a bunch of cringe edits and had a user page that was exactly what you'd expect from a 13 year old who just figured out how to use a wiki and then like years later i deleted it all because i thought it was really embarrassing and you deleted my account https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/User:The_Reverend_A_K

But now I have a super mildly popular youtube channel (which i'm not going to post so this doesn't seem like it's just the most elaborate way to promote my channel ever) and i think it would actually be super funny to make a video with my original competitive team that i had like an RMT for on my page.

Also I would like to ask advice for structuring an Underleveled Pokemon page is that should the tables be just one large table for all underleveled Pokemon in the core series or should I split the tables by doing one table for each generation on underleveled Pokemon?

Another thing would be for spin-off games like the Mystery Dungeon series, should I have a separate article for each Mystery Dungeon game or one whole article for all underleveled Pokemon in the Mystery Dungeon titles?

==Adding images for Gen VII moves==
Hi, I would like to ask on the number of images to display on an article about an attack? Because I noticed some moves (e.g. Parabolic Charge) has only one image and others (E.g. Seismic Toss) has two images displayed at the top. So I would like to ask on how many images I should have to update move images so it displays the Gen VII move instead of the Gen VI attack.

Another thing I would like to ask is how to replaces images on the page and move older images to the bottom of the page as I'm unfamiliar with that kind of editing

Also is it just me or is there a lot more GIFS on Bulbapedia? Not sure if it was always like that as my PC usually doesn't play GIFS but today it seems that what previously was GIFS that are now images suddenly work as GIFS again.

Thanks ahead[[User:Nikuriku|Nikuriku]] ([[User talk:Nikuriku|talk]]) 08:07, 1 July 2017 (UTC)
:I believe moves have two images if there are two phases for the animation. For example, Seismic Toss has the opponent thrown in the air before the impact animation. Moves that are just the basic impact animations just get one image.
:Save the current image as a separate file (preferable File:<move> Gen VI.png) and replace the current one, while reuploading the old image iunder the new filename.

2. On your unique animations page, when a time is convenient could you please check over the list of moves that cover up to Gen II?

3. For that same page would it be relevant to upload images of other Pokemon using such moves? Just asking in case they get removed for not being relevant enough as some spaces don't have images despite some Pokemon series having a Pokemon use such moves.

By creating your account you are now able to edit pages, join discussions, and expand the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia. Before you jump in, here are some ground rules:
* Be nice to everyone. It's in the {{bp|code of conduct}}.
* Make good edits. Preview them before you save to make sure they're perfect the first time around.
* Use {{bp|wikicode}} and {{bp|link templates}} when adding content to a page.
* Use proper grammar and spelling, and read the {{bp|manual of style}}.
* You can't create a userpage until you've added to the encyclopedia. It's a privilege. See the {{bp|userspace policy}}.
* Use {{bp|Talk page policy|talk pages}} to resolve editing disputes. Don't "edit war," or constantly re-edit/undo the same thing on a page.
* If you have a question about something, be proactive. Take a look at our {{bp|FAQ}}. If you're still stuck, ask for help. The {{bp|staff}} won't bite.
* Sign all talk page posts with four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>). This will turn into your name and the time you wrote the comment.
* For more handy links, see the {{bp|welcome|welcome portal}}.

== Signature ==

Thank you for attempting to sign your talk page messages, but please remember that you must use four tildes (<code><nowiki>~~~~</nowiki></code>), not just <code><nowiki>{{u|your username}}</nowiki></code>. The tildes not only provide your username but also a link to your talk page and a timestamp, which are also important components of your signature. Thanks! [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 14:09, 6 July 2017 (UTC)
:Did you get this message? You're still using [[Template:U]] instead of the tildes. I'm afraid our {{bp|signature policy}} ''requires'' that you use the tildes, not just Template:U. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 16:32, 6 July 2017 (UTC)

== Edit Warring ==

Please do not continually revert other users, especially {{bp|staff}} members, it falls under edit warring and is a blockable offense. If you disagree with an edit, please take it to the talk page of the user that reverted you or to the talk page of the conflicting articles, do not go running for the revert button. Thank you.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 16:36, 6 July 2017 (UTC)

== Protecting templates ==

Do '''not''' edit high-use templates meerely to put {{template|protect}} on them, bring them to an admin's attention or leave a message on the template's talk page. Additionally, do not edit pages in other user's userspaces without permission. --[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 19:13, 10 July 2017 (UTC)
:Also, please note that if you're going to put any kind of notice on a template, you need to put it within <code><nowiki><noinclude></nowiki></code> and <code><nowiki></noinclude></nowiki></code>. Otherwise, the notice (such as "this page needs to be protected") will appear on ''every page the template is used on''.

== Userspace limits ==

Please keep in mind for the future that per the {{bp|userspace policy}} you must make at least one more mainspace edit than userspace edit per day. Yesterday, you made only two mainspace edits (both to the same page), but made three userspace edits. Thanks! --[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 01:17, 12 July 2017 (UTC)

== Blocked users ==

Why are you going around finding and adding the delete tag to the userpages of blocked users? It's unnecessary, we aren't expecting users to find them in the first place. --[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 05:04, 14 July 2017 (UTC)

== Blocked, once more ==

Hello, due to your continuous decision to outright ignore other user's warnings, you have been blocked. Though I have given you the ability to edit your talk page so you can '''explain''' your actions, rather than trying to play mind games with us. Users are expected to cooperate with staff members when asked a question.
:Firstly, why are you going around adding the delete tag to blocked users? It is highly suspicious behavior and it does not need to be done, regular user's are not expected to find these pages. Why are you seeking them out?
:Secondly, why do you insist on adding the cleanup tag (or anything similar) without explanation and expecting us to know the reason. We can not read your mind, you '''HAVE''' to explain why you think an article needs fixing.
Please explain your actions, if this goes unnoticed for the duration of your block and you return to do the same edits, a harsher penalty '''will''' be dealt. Also, please do not edit war, if you disagree with an edit, '''discuss''' it on a talk page. Thank you.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 02:01, 17 July 2017 (UTC)

== 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."''
:::::Please try to keep that in mind. - [[User:Kogoro|'''Kogoro''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''Talk to me''']] - 08:13, 15 February 2016 (UTC)

::::::I said later... 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)

Second, can I take the pictures on here [http://toys.qee.jp/menu.htm] and upload them on [[Pokémon Kids|here]]?

:As for the site you've liked to, it appears to be a collector's personal page.

:#[[User:Kogoro/Template/Partybox]] - The box that surrounds the parties. Instructions are on the template itself.

== 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.

:Creating redirects, minor edits, and reverted edits aren't counted (along with edits already mentioned in the TCM page). And honestly, who cares? You've made over 600 edits and got top spot in the TCM ladder, good for you? The number of edits you make don't, and never will, matter. It's the quality of those edits.

== 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. It's fine to just use two or more calls of the template as you already have on the [[Lapis Cave]] article.

== [[Special:AbuseFilter/3]] ==

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)

:As for using names from the Russian Pokémon Handbook, that would be fine for species that have yet to receive a 100% official name from the Russian TCG.

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'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)
:We agree that such switches on species articles is a thing of the past, so we have made efforts to remove and/or replace them on the articles that were using them.

== Unofficial 2004 World Championships Standings ==

I've found an unofficial forum thread that has all standings for the 2004 world championship. And more importantly, it has all the full names of the contestants.

== 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.

== 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).

::@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".

:::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.

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. If you were to merge your talk archives together, you would be breaking the edit histories. - [[User:Kogoro|'''Kogoro''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''Talk to me''']] - 02:50, 10 April 2017 (UTC)

== Tabs ==

Is it possible to do tabs for infoboxes (such as on some Wikia pages, like [http://theamazingworldofgumball.wikia.com/wiki/Gumball_Watterson]) without MediaWiki extensions? I had an idea that I'd test out in my userspace. --[[User:Celadonkey|Celad]][[User_talk:Celadonkey|onkey]] 20:38, 12 March 2017 (UTC)
:As far as I am aware, tabs like that require specific Javascript coding installed in the wiki's [[MediaWiki:Common.js|common.js]] page. Since the staff considered, and decided against, using such tabs several years back, we do not have the needed Javascript on site. - [[User:Kogoro|'''Kogoro''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''Talk to me''']] - 02:50, 10 April 2017 (UTC)
::Ok, cool. I don't think I need them anymore anyway. Thanks. --[[User:Celadonkey|Celad]][[User_talk:Celadonkey|onkey]] 11:59, 10 April 2017 (UTC)

== 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)

== Top contributors ==

Hi I'm sorry to bother you about something so trivial but I'm confused about the page [[Bulbapedia:Top contributors]]. I keep track of how many edits I do and I know that I had about 15,000 edits by the start of April. I thought that I would be on the list this time but do not see my username there, despite being higher than the 20th spot. Is there something I'm missing with this process?--[[User:Rahl|Rahl]] ([[User talk:Rahl|talk]]) 00:56, 10 April 2017 (UTC)
:The top contributors & top contributors of the month pages only count mainspace edits that are made to actual articles.

Cause I have moved it back every time I have seen it happen. --[[User:Raltseye|Raltseye]] [[User talk:Raltseye|prata med mej]] 16:40, 25 May 2017 (UTC)

==Underleveled page==

Hi Kogoro,
Can you please clarify why you deleted the Underleveled Pokemon page? The user page User:Nikuriku/Underleveled Pokemon cannot be used collaboratively, and the content is currently not compiled anywhere else. Could the page please be reinstated, and the redirect to the user page removed instead? Alternatively, could you please provide me with the source code I made, so I can continue to bring it up to standard?

== 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).

Thanks. [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 22:00, 2 July 2017 (UTC)

== 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)

Hello, due to your continuous decision to outright ignore other user's warnings, you have been blocked. Though I have given you the ability to edit your talk page so you can '''explain''' your actions, rather than trying to play mind games with us. Users are expected to cooperate with staff members when asked a question.
:Firstly, why are you going around adding the delete tag to blocked users? It is highly suspicious behavior and it does not need to be done, regular user's are not expected to find these pages. Why are you seeking them out?
:Secondly, why do you insist on adding the cleanup tag (or anything similar) without explanation and expecting us to know the reason. We can not read your mind, you '''HAVE''' to explain why you think an article needs fixing.
Please explain your actions, if this goes unnoticed for the duration of your block and you return to do the same edits, a harsher penalty '''will''' be dealt. Also, please do not edit war, if you disagree with an edit, '''discuss''' it on a talk page. Thank you.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 02:01, 17 July 2017 (UTC)

== Brute Force ==

Just to confirm, I was in a Shuffle Discord chat where they were talking about Brute Force being bugged and take advantage of it as long as you can before checking in, because the extra data fixed it. So yes, the increase to Brute Force was a glitch, and it was restored in v1.4.7. Coincidentally, it was around that point I finally started playing again, so I missed a lot of events. RIP me. [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 19:55, 18 May 2017 (UTC)
:So what you're saying is that it was only x3 during the glitch period? [[User:Unowninator|Unowninator?!]] ([[User talk:Unowninator|talk]]) 00:48, 19 May 2017 (UTC)
::Yes, I remember reading that something was overpowered but never paid attention. I do remember the version, though, and when Boblers said the version number I realized that's what it had to be. Since he tested it in the current build, I trust that what he has is accurate, and from my memory and that Shuffle chat trust that it was Brute Force, as that was the only thing I believe was fixed the very next day. Unless there's one I'm forgetting. [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 01:08, 19 May 2017 (UTC)
:::This may be a technicality, but I don't think the increase to Brute Force's multiplier was itself the glitch, though the two did coincide. From what I've read on [https://www.reddit.com/r/PokemonShuffle/comments/63jwz2/a_new_bug_found_on_mobile_new_updated_version/ these] [https://www.reddit.com/r/PokemonShuffle/comments/63k36i/pokemon_shuffle_update_110_compiled_info/ reddit] [https://www.reddit.com/r/PokemonShuffle/comments/63zast/brute_force_bug_fixed/ posts], the actual glitch was that Brute Force boosted the attack of all types instead of only those Not Very Effective against the enemy Pokemon. The official japanese site even announced the x2 -> x3 buff to Brute Force, although they have since deleted it (see the third reddit post for more info on that). The combo multiplier buff just happened to be at the same time as the glitch appeared, and was then removed at the same time as the glitch was fixed. It seems to me that they messed up while attempting to add the buff, and then had to rollback the skill entirely because a fix couldn't be found fast enough.
:::With this in mind, how should mention this in the Skill article, if at all? Unowninator's edit earlier today that removed the hover-over note on Brute Force got me thinking about this. Would it be more appropriate to put this as a point in the trivia, or as a statement on the skill like "in 3DS v1.4.6 and mobile v1.10-1.10.1, the skill erroneously activated for all types" with the hover-over note on the multiplier restored? [[User:Boblers|Boblers]] ([[User talk:Boblers|talk]]) 03:55, 19 May 2017 (UTC)
::::THAT is what I was missing. Now I wholly remember that the buff was being applied to everything matched in chain with Brute Force, and that was the glitch I read about. I guess I never knew about the 3x buff because I never played it, and didn't know it was added and then removed with the glitch. Thanks for clarifying the sequence of events for me there, Boblers.

::::::::::Oh, that was ages ago and I had forgotten about it by now.

== Skill ==

Please do not just blindly revert something you don't agree with, like you did [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Skill&diff=next&oldid=2642947 here]. Discuss it on the talk page to come to a solution. My reasoning behind removing Pokémon icons was sound in that we have a sortable list at the other page already, and it's pointless to have to bounce around updating data in multiple locations. I don't even understand what you were comparing it to. I personally find icons in the Skill table extremely clunky when we can already sort in the list every single Pokémon that has the skill at quick glance.

I do see as I was typing this that you did post on the talk page there, so I'll discuss it further there. [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 03:47, 19 May 2017 (UTC)

But I would like to talk to you about this, so like you said, I'll talk to you on the other talk page. [[User:Unowninator|Unowninator?!]] ([[User talk:Unowninator|talk]]) 03:52, 19 May 2017 (UTC)

== Edit wars ==

Hi! Just to give you a heads up, if there's a plain edit war going on, we ask that users refrain from contributing to the edit war. (It is part of our {{bp|blocking policy|policy}} that we ''can'' block anyone who participates in an edit war.) Instead, please just let a staff member know and wait for us to handle it. If it's basically anything short of simple vandalism, it'll be alright for that long.

Thanks! [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 11:01, 19 May 2017 (UTC)
:Are you talking about the Serena thing? [[User:Unowninator|Unowninator?!]] ([[User talk:Unowninator|talk]]) 15:23, 19 May 2017 (UTC)
:Also, are you saying that vandalism should be edit warred with? Or am I misunderstanding? [[User:Unowninator|Unowninator?!]] ([[User talk:Unowninator|talk]]) 15:35, 19 May 2017 (UTC)
::1) Yes.
::2) It may depend on the severity of the vandalism. If a user replaces whole pages with a wall of vulgar language or images and tries to keep it that way, we certainly don't want that staying up. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 15:49, 19 May 2017 (UTC)
:::Got it. Thanks. [[User:Unowninator|¿¡Unowninator?!]] ([[User talk:Unowninator|talk]]) 16:00, 19 May 2017 (UTC)

== Entei (Super Mystery Dungeon) ==

It would be good if you could discuss why you removed the delete tag on the Entei (SMD) page before removing it. As I already mentioned on the discussion page, the page adds nothing new from the [[Legendary beasts (Super Mystery Dungeon)]] page. While I understand that Entei is the most important out of the three, the page is essentially a copy-paste (with a bit less info) of the Legendary beasts (SMD) page. --[[User:Wowy|'''Wowy''']][[User talk:Wowy|'''(토크)''']] 07:30, 6 June 2017 (UTC)
:Point taken, TBH, I didn't think of checking the talk page, so it just looked like it was there for no reason. Sorry. [[User:Unowninator|¿¡Unowninator?!]] ([[User talk:Unowninator|talk]]) 15:33, 6 June 2017 (UTC)

== Revelation Dance and Protean ==

Hey, regarding [[Special:Diff/2654937|this edit of yours]], I wanted to ask: Did you test it with a typeless user, and it regained its primary type? Or did you test/confirm it with some dual-typed Pokémon, and it lost its secondary type (like [[Special:Diff/2654946|this]] suggests)? (And if it's the latter, would you be able to test the former?) [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 16:00, 15 June 2017 (UTC)
:Oh yeah, that's right; I forgot about Burn Up. All I did was Skill Swap it to my Oricorio. Now you've gotten me curious. [[User:Unowninator|¿¡Unowninator?!]] ([[User talk:Unowninator|talk]]) 16:29, 15 June 2017 (UTC)
::Okay, if the user is typeless, so is the move. I've tested it with Protean and Color Change. [[User:Unowninator|¿¡Unowninator?!]] ([[User talk:Unowninator|talk]]) 03:22, 16 June 2017 (UTC)

== Trivia Ban ==

Hey there,
After review, the Editorial Board has decided that your trivia ban will be lifted. Please keep our policies in mind while editing the trivia section and be sure to use talk pages to settle any disputes that may arise. Happy editing! '''''[[User:Pokemaster97|--Pokemaster]][[User talk:Pokemaster97|97]]''''' 21:28, 27 June 2017 (UTC)
:Ah, thank you so much. Say, just because I don't want to repeat history, I thought I should ask: are any of [[User:Unowninator#My personal trivia|these]] good trivia? And is there anything I should know? [[User:Unowninator|¿¡Unowninator?!]] ([[User talk:Unowninator|talk]]) 22:04, 27 June 2017 (UTC)

== Virtual Console ==

As far as I know, we have no evidence yet to suggest whether the VC releases will maintain interconnectivity between Generations I and II, so I feel like your edit relies on an assumption (that they will do so). But I recognize that this is an extremely minor, nitty-gritty complaint, so until we have confirmation for or against interconnectivity, I suppose the page could go either way, and I'll leave it for now. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 01:57, 17 July 2017 (UTC)
:I could've sworn the trailer showed a trade between the games. But I guess I could delete the hidden part if you'd like. Unless you really feel the need to remove the whole thing, I understand and will comply. [[User:Unowninator|¿¡Unowninator?!]] ([[User talk:Unowninator|talk]]) 02:00, 17 July 2017 (UTC)
::(...I'm not a staff member, there's no need to "comply" with me...) I thought about it some more and it occurred to me: what if we just say it's the only way to get an unnicknamed Mr. Mime ''originating from'' Generation I? That future-proofs it so that it'll be a moot point whether or not the interconnectivity is maintained. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 02:03, 17 July 2017 (UTC)
:::I know you're not, but you've been here longer & know the site better than I do, which is why I trust your judgment. As for your idea, I think it's a good idea, originating from gen 1. ^_^ [[User:Unowninator|¿¡Unowninator?!]] ([[User talk:Unowninator|talk]]) 02:05, 17 July 2017 (UTC)

==Blurb==

Our heroes stop to visit their old friends Professor Juniper and Dr. Fennel on their way to Nimbasa City, just in time to witness an amazing event: Dr. Fennel uses a special Pokémon restoration machine to restore an Archen from a Plume Fossil!

The ancient Pokémon has some trouble adjusting to its modern environment, rejecting Cilan’s specially prepared food and complaining in an ear-splitting voice. Flying also proves difficult for Archen, even though it’s the ancestor of all Flying-type Pokémon. This gives our heroes and the researchers a monumental opportunity to witness the historic birth of Pokémon flight! At first Archen struggles to get off the ground, even with help from Ash’s Tranquill—but after it evolves into Archeops, it takes off easily!

Meanwhile, Dr. Fennel’s machine has drawn the attention of Team Rocket, who hack into it to steal the data. They also try to catch Archeops, but after losing a heated battle, they withdraw to celebrate their data-stealing success with Doctor Zager.

Worried about how Archeops will survive in the modern world, Dr. Fennel and Professor Juniper start making plans to create a proper environment for it...and then they discover the purpose of its persistent cries when three other Archeops appear! And so, united with others of its own kind, Archeops happily goes off with its new friends, and our heroes bid them a fond farewell.

==Plot==
The episode starts off with {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} in a building somewhere on the way to [[Nimbasa City]]. [[Professor Juniper]] is showing {{Ash}}, {{an|Iris}}, and {{an|Cilan}} a [[Cover and Plume Fossils|Plume Fossil]] and tells them that the ancient {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} {{p|Archen}} came from this Fossil, immediately interesting the group--that is, everyone except Iris, who thinks it looks like a rock. Ash recalls [[Nacrene City]]'s Gym Leader [[Lenora]] and her fascination with Fossils as well. Professor Juniper slips slightly and tells her everyone has their own opinions. She shows Ash, Iris, and Cilan a picture of Archen, and Iris comments that if Archen is the "First Bird Pokémon" then it must be {{AP|Tranquill}}'s great-great relative. The group continues to read the manual as Professor Juniper looks over at [[Fennel]], who is on the computer. The Fossil is placed in a machine that is powered by {{p|Musharna}}'s Dream Smoke. The machine is then activated, scanning the Fossil and then creating Archen. After the machine stops, they open up the machine and find Archen. A seed seems to fall off of Archen's plumage. Initially, Archen tries to fight off Ash and friends, confused and using {{m|Peck}} on everyone. Ash attempts to calm down the Archen but instead they run right into each other. Archen wears herself out and falls asleep. Professor Juniper brings out her camera and starts filming the Archen. Meanwhile in another location, {{TRT}} is listening in on the action while planning how they are going to try and capture the Archen. Archen wakes up and starts crying, as the seeds that appeared when Archen was revived started growing and sprouting. Archen's cries shatter windows. Ash grabs Archen trying to calm her down, after of which she does. Ash attempts to feed Archen, but she spits it out and escapes through the broken window and into the trees outside. Archen spits out the tree's fruit as well.

Ash brings out Tranquill to help teach Archen to fly while Iris brings out {{TP|Iris|Emolga}} to help but she uses {{m|Attract}}, which fails indicating that Archen is indeed a [[Gender|female]]. Instead of helping Archen, Emolga uses {{m|Volt Switch}} to force {{TP|Cilan|Stunfisk}}, and due to curiosity, Archen uses Peck on Stunfisk, causing it to become surprised and use {{m|ThunderShock}}. Archen uses her cries again while the sprouting seeds start growing even more, turning into a tree. While learning to fly, Archen starts to fly for short distances. Archen cries out in happiness causing the growing tree to grow even larger breaking the machines, and going right out of the window. Archen climbs up the new tree to eat the new fruit, and ends up loving that fruit. Archen cries out in delight and evolves into {{p|Archeops}}. Archeops shows that she can fly to everyone, then all of a sudden, Team Rocket strikes. Team Rocket has {{TP|James|Yamask}} use {{m|Night Shade}} and set the tree on fire while they try to get away. Ash brings out {{AP|Roggenrola}} and {{AP|Oshawott}} to put out the fire. Team Rocket uses an electric net to capture the Archeops, which enrages her, using {{m|DragonBreath}} to break free and attack them.

After Team Rocket gets away, everyone looks at the tree which was now completely destroyed. Archeops begins crying out and a flock of Archeops hear her cries and come to her. Everyone says their goodbyes to her and the flock flies away. [[Dr. Zager]] informs Team Rocket that even though they failed to capture Archeops, they were able to obtain all of the data that was needed.

By creating your account you are now able to edit pages, join discussions, and expand the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia. Before you jump in, here are some ground rules:
* Be nice to everyone. It's in the {{bp|code of conduct}}.
* Make good edits. Preview them before you save to make sure they're perfect the first time around.
* Use {{bp|wikicode}} and {{bp|link templates}} when adding content to a page.
* Use proper grammar and spelling, and read the {{bp|manual of style}}.
* You can't create a userpage until you've added to the encyclopedia. It's a privilege. See the {{bp|userspace policy}}.
* Use {{bp|Talk page policy|talk pages}} to resolve editing disputes. Don't "edit war," or constantly re-edit/undo the same thing on a page.
* If you have a question about something, be proactive. Take a look at our {{bp|FAQ}}. If you're still stuck, ask for help. The {{bp|staff}} won't bite.
* Sign all talk page posts with four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>). This will turn into your name and the time you wrote the comment.
* For more handy links, see the {{bp|welcome|welcome portal}}.

== Signature ==

Thank you for attempting to sign your talk page messages, but please remember that you must use four tildes (<code><nowiki>~~~~</nowiki></code>), not just <code><nowiki>{{u|your username}}</nowiki></code>. The tildes not only provide your username but also a link to your talk page and a timestamp, which are also important components of your signature. Thanks! [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 14:09, 6 July 2017 (UTC)
:Did you get this message? You're still using [[Template:U]] instead of the tildes. I'm afraid our {{bp|signature policy}} ''requires'' that you use the tildes, not just Template:U. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 16:32, 6 July 2017 (UTC)

== Edit Warring ==

Please do not continually revert other users, especially {{bp|staff}} members, it falls under edit warring and is a blockable offense. If you disagree with an edit, please take it to the talk page of the user that reverted you or to the talk page of the conflicting articles, do not go running for the revert button. Thank you.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 16:36, 6 July 2017 (UTC)
:What is causing you to think this is OK even after you were warned for it? [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 17:57, 6 July 2017 (UTC)
::Due to not adhering to the warning above, you have been blocked for 3 days. When you return, please communicate disagreements through the use of talk pages. Thank you. '''''[[User:Pokemaster97|--Pokemaster]][[User talk:Pokemaster97|97]]''''' 19:20, 6 July 2017 (UTC)

== Protecting templates ==

Do '''not''' edit high-use templates meerely to put {{template|protect}} on them, bring them to an admin's attention or leave a message on the template's talk page. Additionally, do not edit pages in other user's userspaces without permission. --[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 19:13, 10 July 2017 (UTC)
:Also, please note that if you're going to put any kind of notice on a template, you need to put it within <code><nowiki><noinclude></nowiki></code> and <code><nowiki></noinclude></nowiki></code>. Otherwise, the notice (such as "this page needs to be protected") will appear on ''every page the template is used on''. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 19:46, 10 July 2017 (UTC)
::Oops, sorry. I didn't realise that. [[User:Marshtompert|Marshtompert]] ([[User talk:Marshtompert|talk]]) 19:54, 10 July 2017 (UTC)

== Userspace limits ==

Please keep in mind for the future that per the {{bp|userspace policy}} you must make at least one more mainspace edit than userspace edit per day. Yesterday, you made only two mainspace edits (both to the same page), but made three userspace edits. Thanks! --[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 01:17, 12 July 2017 (UTC)

== Blocked users ==

Why are you going around finding and adding the delete tag to the userpages of blocked users? It's unnecessary, we aren't expecting users to find them in the first place. --[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 05:04, 14 July 2017 (UTC)
:Again, don't just go around finding userpages of permanently blocked user pages and adding the delete tag, it's unnecessary and a waste of time. No one if expected to find them.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 14:22, 16 July 2017 (UTC)

== Blocked, once more ==

Hello, due to your continuous decision to outright ignore other user's warnings, you have been blocked. Though I have given you the ability to edit your talk page so you can '''explain''' your actions, rather than trying to play mind games with us. Users are expected to cooperate with staff members when asked a question.
:Firstly, why are you going around adding the delete tag to blocked users? It is highly suspicious behavior and it does not need to be done, regular user's are not expected to find these pages. Why are you seeking them out?
:Secondly, why do you insist on adding the cleanup tag (or anything similar) without explanation and expecting us to know the reason. We can not read your mind, you '''HAVE''' to explain why you think an article needs fixing.
Please explain your actions, if this goes unnoticed for the duration of your block and you return to do the same edits, a harsher penalty '''will''' be dealt. Also, please do not edit war, if you disagree with an edit, '''discuss''' it on a talk page. Thank you.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 02:01, 17 July 2017 (UTC)

By creating your account you are now able to edit pages, join discussions, and expand the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia. Before you jump in, here are some ground rules:
* Be nice to everyone. It's in the {{bp|code of conduct}}.
* Make good edits. Preview them before you save to make sure they're perfect the first time around.
* Use {{bp|wikicode}} and {{bp|link templates}} when adding content to a page.
* Use proper grammar and spelling, and read the {{bp|manual of style}}.
* You can't create a userpage until you've added to the encyclopedia. It's a privilege. See the {{bp|userspace policy}}.
* Use {{bp|Talk page policy|talk pages}} to resolve editing disputes. Don't "edit war," or constantly re-edit/undo the same thing on a page.
* If you have a question about something, be proactive. Take a look at our {{bp|FAQ}}. If you're still stuck, ask for help. The {{bp|staff}} won't bite.
* Sign all talk page posts with four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>). This will turn into your name and the time you wrote the comment.
* For more handy links, see the {{bp|welcome|welcome portal}}.

== Signature ==

Thank you for attempting to sign your talk page messages, but please remember that you must use four tildes (<code><nowiki>~~~~</nowiki></code>), not just <code><nowiki>{{u|your username}}</nowiki></code>. The tildes not only provide your username but also a link to your talk page and a timestamp, which are also important components of your signature. Thanks! [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 14:09, 6 July 2017 (UTC)
:Did you get this message? You're still using [[Template:U]] instead of the tildes. I'm afraid our {{bp|signature policy}} ''requires'' that you use the tildes, not just Template:U. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 16:32, 6 July 2017 (UTC)

== Edit Warring ==

Please do not continually revert other users, especially {{bp|staff}} members, it falls under edit warring and is a blockable offense. If you disagree with an edit, please take it to the talk page of the user that reverted you or to the talk page of the conflicting articles, do not go running for the revert button. Thank you.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 16:36, 6 July 2017 (UTC)
:What is causing you to think this is OK even after you were warned for it? [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 17:57, 6 July 2017 (UTC)
::Due to not adhering to the warning above, you have been blocked for 3 days. When you return, please communicate disagreements through the use of talk pages. Thank you. '''''[[User:Pokemaster97|--Pokemaster]][[User talk:Pokemaster97|97]]''''' 19:20, 6 July 2017 (UTC)

== Protecting templates ==

Do '''not''' edit high-use templates meerely to put {{template|protect}} on them, bring them to an admin's attention or leave a message on the template's talk page. Additionally, do not edit pages in other user's userspaces without permission. --[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 19:13, 10 July 2017 (UTC)
:Also, please note that if you're going to put any kind of notice on a template, you need to put it within <code><nowiki><noinclude></nowiki></code> and <code><nowiki></noinclude></nowiki></code>. Otherwise, the notice (such as "this page needs to be protected") will appear on ''every page the template is used on''. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 19:46, 10 July 2017 (UTC)
::Oops, sorry. I didn't realise that. [[User:Marshtompert|Marshtompert]] ([[User talk:Marshtompert|talk]]) 19:54, 10 July 2017 (UTC)

== Userspace limits ==

Please keep in mind for the future that per the {{bp|userspace policy}} you must make at least one more mainspace edit than userspace edit per day. Yesterday, you made only two mainspace edits (both to the same page), but made three userspace edits. Thanks! --[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 01:17, 12 July 2017 (UTC)

== Blocked users ==

Why are you going around finding and adding the delete tag to the userpages of blocked users? It's unnecessary, we aren't expecting users to find them in the first place. --[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 05:04, 14 July 2017 (UTC)
:Again, don't just go around finding userpages of permanently blocked user pages and adding the delete tag, it's unnecessary and a waste of time. No one if expected to find them.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 14:22, 16 July 2017 (UTC)

== Blocked, once more ==

Hello, due to your continuous decision to outright ignore other user's warnings, you have been blocked. Though I have given you the ability to edit your talk page so you can '''explain''' your actions, rather than trying to play mind games with us. Users are expected to cooperate with staff members when asked a question.
:Firstly, why are you going around adding the delete tag to blocked users? It is highly suspicious behavior and it does not need to be done, regular user's are not expected to find these pages. Why are you seeking them out?
:Secondly, why do you insist on adding the cleanup tag (or anything similar) without explanation and expecting us to know the reason. We can not read your mind, you '''HAVE''' to explain why you think an article needs fixing.
Please explain your actions, if this goes unnoticed for the duration of your block and you return to do the same edits, a harsher penalty '''will''' be dealt. Also, please do not edit war, if you disagree with an edit, '''discuss''' it on a talk page. Thank you.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 02:01, 17 July 2017 (UTC)
:I'm still expecting a response here.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 10:16, 26 July 2017 (UTC)

'''Chimchar''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ヒコザル''' ''Hikozaru'') is a {{type|Fire}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IV]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Monferno}} starting at [[level]] 14, which evolves into {{p|Infernape}} starting at [[level]] 36.

Along with {{p|Turtwig}} and {{p|Piplup}}, Chimchar is one of three [[starter Pokémon]] of [[Sinnoh]] available at the beginning of {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}.

==Biology==
[[File:Chimchar flameless.png|thumb|left|200px|A sleeping Chimchar - note the lack of a flame]]
Chimchar is a bipedal Pokémon resembling a chimpanzee. Its fur is primarily a shade of orange, though its face, outer ears, underbelly, hands, and feet are light yellow. Its rear has a small, round, red patch that is usually obscured by flames produced by burning gas in its stomach. These flames go out when it goes to sleep, and burn weakly when it feels ill. Its ears are large in comparison to its head size and red inside. It has two pointed teeth in its upper jaw. Chimchar has red markings nearly surrounding its eyes, a swirl-like symbol on its chest, and five fingers on its hands with three toes on its feet. It has a swirly crest of hair on its head. Being very agile, it is able to climb the rocky ledges of tall mountains, where it lives.

==Trivia==
* Chimchar is the only starter Pokémon that is a member of the {{egg3|Human-Like}}.

===Origin===
Chimchar appears to be based on a young {{wp|chimpanzee}}. However, the markings on its rear without the flame, (plus facial markings on its evolutions) seem to indicate that it is more a cross between a chimpanzee and a young {{wp|baboon}}.

====Name origin====
Chimchar is a combination of ''{{wp|chimp}}'' and ''{{wp|charcoal}}'' or ''char'' (to burn).

Hikozaru is a combination of 火 ''hi'' (fire), 子 ''ko'' (child), and 猿 ''saru'' ({{wp|monkey}}). ''Zaru'' is also used to describe an {{wp|ape}}.

'''Glaceon''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''グレイシア''' ''Glacia'') is an {{type|Ice}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IV]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Eevee}} when it is [[level]]ed up near an [[Ice Rock]]. It is one of Eevee's [[Eeveelution|final forms]], the others being {{p|Vaporeon}}, {{p|Jolteon}}, {{p|Flareon}}, {{p|Espeon}}, {{p|Umbreon}}, {{p|Leafeon}}, and {{p|Sylveon}}.

==Biology==
Glaceon is a quadruped, mammalian creature covered in light-blue fur that can be frozen into sharp quills. It has long, pointed ears, dark eyes, and a small nose. Glaceon has two dark blue, rhombus-shaped markings on its back, and the tip of its tail and feet are the same shade of blue. With the crest on its forehead and the two teal dangles hanging from its ears, it appears to be wearing a teal {{wp|ushanka}} or trapper's hat. This Pokémon is able to create small ice crystals around it by controlling its body temperature. Glaceon is usually found in urban areas under the care of humans. It is rarely found in the wild.

==Trivia==
* Glaceon's Japanese name is the same as the English name of a [[Glacia|member]] of the {{DL|Glacia|Hoenn Elite Four}}.
* According to the {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}} Pokédex, Glaceon, {{p|Leafeon}}, and {{p|Umbreon}} have identical footprints.
* As there is no [[Ice Rock]] in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, it is impossible to evolve Eevee into a Glaceon in these games. The same applies for {{p|Magnezone}}, {{p|Probopass}}, and {{p|Leafeon}}. All have to be traded from {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} to be obtained.
* Despite Eevee being obtainable before the [[Pokémon League]] in [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2]], it cannot evolve into Glaceon until after the Elite Four is defeated. The same applies with Leafeon.
* Glaceon shares its {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Vanillite}}. They are both known as the Fresh Snow Pokémon.
* Glaceon was designed by [[Atsuko Nishida]].<ref>https://twitter.com/atsuko_nishida/status/783643367523557376</ref>

===Origin===
Like many of the [[Eeveelution]]s, Glaceon shares characteristics of foxes, dogs and cats. It is more closely based on an {{wp|arctic fox}}, due to their habitat. However, its large ears are similar to a {{wp|fennec fox}}.

====Name origin====
Glaceon is a combination of ''glace'' (French for ''ice'') or ''glacier'' (a large, slow moving mass of ice on land) and ''eon'' (an immeasurably long period of time, possibly referring to how long evolution takes naturally). ''Eon'' is a suffix all {{p|Eevee}} [[evolution]]s share and was Eevee's English prototype name. Its name may also be an anagram of the English word ''congeal'' (meaning ''to freeze'')

Glacia may derive from ''glace'' (French for ''ice''), ''glacier'' (a large, slow moving mass of ice on land), or ''grace'' (as in ''graceful'').

==In other languages==

'''Rest''' (Japanese: '''ねむる''' ''Sleep'') is a non-damaging {{type|Psychic}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation I]]. It has been [[TM44]] in all generations so far.

==Effect==
===Generation I===
Rest causes the user to fall {{status|Sleep|asleep}}, restoring its HP to its maximum amount and replacing any existing non-volatile [[status condition]]. The user will then be asleep for two turns, waking up on the second. Rest will fail if the user has full HP.

A glitch causes the stat reductions associated with {{status|paralysis}} and {{status|burn}} to remain despite the fact that the Pokémon no longer has that status. If a Pokémon that has been {{status|bad poison|badly poisoned}} by {{m|Toxic}} successfully uses Rest, it will be cured of poison, but Toxic's '''N''' parameter is not reset; if it then suffers {{status|burn}}, {{m|Leech Seed}} or poison damage, that damage will be calculated with the formula for bad poison, still being calculated as '''N''' * x, and the '''N''' value will still increase by 1 each time (however, if the Pokémon is poisoned with Toxic, the '''N''' value will be reset to 1).

Rest will also fail if the user's maximum HP is 256 or 511 and its current HP is one less than that amount.

===Generation II===
The user will now awaken from Rest three turns after it is used and can attack on the third. If Rest is used through {{m|Sleep Talk}}, it will restore the user's HP and reset the number of turns the user will remain asleep to two.

Any major status conditions the user is affected by will now be cured. {{m|Safeguard}} will not prevent usage of Rest, and the user of Safeguard will still sleep the full two turns.

===Generations III to IV===
Rest now fails if it is used via Sleep Talk, regardless of the user's HP.

If a Pokémon with the {{a|Early Bird}} [[Ability]] uses Rest, its Ability still applies and the Pokémon's turns asleep will be rounded down from three to one.

Rest will automatically fail if used by a Pokémon with {{a|Insomnia}} or {{a|Vital Spirit}}, as these Abilities prevent them from falling asleep. Rest will also fail when used while {{m|Uproar}} is in effect.

Rest can be used as part of a [[Contest combination|Pokémon Contest combination]], with the user gaining two extra appeal points if any of the moves {{m|Belly Drum}}, {{m|Charm}} or {{m|Yawn}} was used in the prior turn. It can also be used to start a combination, causing {{m|Sleep Talk}} and {{m|Snore}}'s base appeal points to be doubled if used in the next turn.

===Generation V onwards===
Rest will now fail if it is used by a Pokémon with {{a|Leaf Guard}} during [[harsh sunlight]].

Rest will fail if {{m|Electric Terrain}} or {{m|Misty Terrain}} is in effect and the user is [[grounded]]. Rest will also fail if the user is affected by {{a|Sweet Veil}}.

Rest can be used as part of a [[Contest combination|Contest Spectacular combination]], causing {{m|Sleep Talk}} and {{m|Snore}} to give an extra three appeal points if used in the next turn.

If powered up by a {{DL|Z-Crystal|Psychium Z}} into Z-Rest, all of the user's lowered stats are reset.

==In other games==
===[[Super Smash Bros.]] series===
Jigglypuff uses {{sbw|Rest}} as its down B attack in the [[Super Smash Bros.]] series. Its effect is vastly different than its Pokémon game counterpart, as rather than healing the player, it launches the opponent into the air and plants a damage-inflicting flower on their head (in Brawl and SSB4) or sets them on fire (in Melee and the original SSB). This is a close-range attack with the hitbox placed at the center of Jigglypuff's body; using it even right next to the target will fail. If the attack misses, Jigglypuff will fall asleep doing no damage and leaving itself open to attacks.

===[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series]]===
When used, the user becomes [[Status ailments in Mystery Dungeon#Sleep-related conditions|napping]]. When it wakes up, its HP is restored and all of its status ailments are cured.

==Trivia==
* Although Rest does not deal any damage in the normal games, in the [[Super Smash Bros.]] series, {{SSB|Jigglypuff}}'s Rest attack unleashes an internal explosion that sends any opponent it touches flying, almost always ending in a KO.
* According to {{jo|Webster}}'s friend in Johto, ''Rest'' is a contraction of '''''Re'''cover fa'''st'''''.
* This move is often combined with a [[Chesto Berry]] or a [[Lum Berry]] so that it acts like a {{DL|Potion|Full Restore}}. The combination is widely featured in the games.
* The English manual for {{game|Yellow}} mentions that "<sc>Rest</sc>'s number of turns is changed to between 1 and 3" when used in [[Pokémon Yellow Version#Connectivity|Colosseum 2]]. This is not the case.

'''Mimikyu''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ミミッキュ''' ''Mimikkyu'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ghost|Fairy}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VII]].

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, it {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Mimikyu|changes appearance}} when hit by an attack.

==Biology==
Mimikyu is a small Pokémon whose body is almost entirely hidden under a rag. Its beady black eyes are visible through holes in the body of its disguise, and the fringe of an amorphous foot or lower body appears to be visible under the hem of its rag. Occasionally, it will also extend a black appendage from under its rag. The veil itself resembles a {{p|Pikachu}}. The cloth is yellow with black tipped ears. The Pikachu face appears to be drawn with crayons, consisting of black eyes, red cheeks, and a squiggly black mouth. Mimikyu also carries a small stick resembling a lightning bolt to create a tail for its costume. When its disguise is damaged, the costume's head droops limply backwards, revealing Mimikyu's ruse.

Mimikyu is always covered by its disguise. Since this Pokémon is weakened by sunlight, it is rumored that the veil is used for protection. It is believed that seeing its true form will cause a mysterious illness. Mimikyu's disguise is modeled after Pikachu because of the popularity of Pikachu-styled merchandise. This lonely Pokémon thought that this disguise would allow it to make friends with people.<ref>http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/mimikyu/</ref>

'''Sandshrew''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''サンド''' ''Sand'') is a {{type|Ground}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Sandslash}} starting at [[level]] 22.

In [[Alola]], Sandshrew has a [[regional variant]] that is {{2t|Ice|Steel}}. It evolves into Alolan Sandslash when exposed to an [[Ice Stone]].

==Biology==
[[File:Sandshrew Camouflage.png|thumb|200px|left|Sandshrew blending in with its surroundings]]
Sandshrew is a bipedal mammalian Pokémon, but runs on all fours [[EP008|in the anime]]. Its yellow hide is dry, tough, blends in with desert sand, and has a brick pattern, but its underbelly and muzzle are white. Sandshrew has blue, almond-shaped eyes, a pointed snout, and triangular ears with white insides. Its tail is thick and conical. It has two long claws on each foot and three sharp claws on its forepaws, which are used to burrow.

Sandshrew spends much of its time hidden underground in deep burrows. It only emerges to hunt, which it does by waiting within its burrow to instantly lunge out and drag in passing prey. Sandshrew can quickly curl into a tight ball to protect itself from great falls and opponents, but may also throw sand at attackers. While its body can efficiently absorb water to facilitate life in the {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rough-terrain Pokémon|desert}}, Sandshrew [[EP006|has been found]] in caves as well.

In the Alola region, Sandshrew migrated to snowy mountains due to the volcanic activity near the desert areas. Its body is a light, icy blue and with a cream-colored belly and muzzle. Its head now resembles an {{wp|igloo}}. Thicker plates form a dome around its head and its ears resemble an igloo's entrances. In adapting to this cold climate, its body became larger and heavier with a shell of ice covering its hide. The steel-like covering grants it extra defense, but it is unable to curl into a ball like its desert counterpart. Alolan Sandshrew's claws allow it to move without slipping on icy surfaces, but it slides on its stomach when it needs to move quickly.<ref>[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/alolan-sandshrew/ Pokémon Sun and Moon]</ref>

==Trivia==
* No other Pokémon has the same [[type]] [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|combination]] as Alolan Sandshrew and its Alolan {{p|Sandslash|evolution}}.
* Sandshrew and its {{p|Sandslash|evolution}} share their {{pkmn|category}} name with {{p|Rattata}}, {{p|Raticate}}, {{p|Pikachu}}, and {{p|Raichu}}. They are all known as the Mouse Pokémon, though Rattata and Raticate have also been called the Rat Pokémon.
* Alolan Sandshrew has the lowest base {{stat|Special Attack}} stat of any Pokémon, tied with {{p|Shuckle}}, {{p|Feebas}} and {{p|Bonsly}}.
* Both Sandshrew and Alolan Sandshrew have Abilities that boost evasion in certain weather ({{weather|Sandstorm}} for Sandshrew and {{weather|Hail}} for Alolan Sandshrew) and Hidden Abilities that boost Speed in those same weather conditions.
* Alolan Sandshrew can be seen as a parallel to {{p|Vulpix|Alolan Vulpix}}. Both were initially introduced in [[Generation I]] and got [[Alola Form]]s in {{g|Sun and Moon}}. Both Pokemon are {{type|Ice}} with Vulpix being exclusive to Sun and Sandshrew being exclusive to Moon. Furthermore, both Pokemon evolve when exposed to an [[Ice Stone]].
* Alolan Sandshrew, {{p|Clefable}}, {{p|Latias}}, {{p|Gurdurr}}, {{p|Greninja}}, Ash-Greninja, and {{p|Minior|Minior (Meteor Form)}} are all the same weight as {{ga|Ethan}}.

===Origin===
{{bulbanews|On the Origin of Species: Sandshrew and Sandslash}}
Sandshrew may be based on the {{wp|armadillo}}, a mammal that curls up into a ball, has sharp claws, and lives in desert regions. Both Sandshrew and {{p|Sandslash}} are mentioned to have poisonous claws, similar to how some species of the {{wp|shrew}} are poisonous. Sandshrew also closely resembles an {{wp|pangolin}}.

Alolan Sandshrew seems to also be based on an {{wp|igloo}}.

====Name origin====
Sandshrew is a combination of ''sand'' and ''{{wp|shrew}}''.

Sand is simply ''sand''.

User talk:Sui

Marshtompert: /* Deleted GIFs on your user page */ new section

==Welcome==
Welcome to [[Bulbapedia]], Sui!

As a new user, you may wish to learn a few things that will be useful in your editing:
*For a basic overview of wiki code, see [[Help:Editing|this page]].
*Read over the {{bp|style primer}} before making your edits. It is a basic outline of Bulbapedia style. For a more in-depth set of rules, see the {{bp|manual of style}}.
*Keep an eye on the {{bp|Messages from the Editor}} on the main page, to stay informed on current events on Bulbapedia.
*The word [[Pokémon]] is spelled with a capital '''P''' and an accented '''é'''. The é can be accessed by holding Alt and typing either '''130''' or '''0233''' on a Windows computer, and by using Option + e, then e again on a Mac. Otherwise, you can easily click it in the character palette below the editbox.
*The word [[Poké Ball]] is spelled as two words. The "Poké" part is identical to the four beginning letters in "Pokémon"; "Ball" is spelled with a capital '''B'''. The spelling "Pokéball" arises frequently, but is incorrect.
*The word "you" and all forms of it should not be used on encyclopedic pages unless it is a quote from Pokémon or other media. Bulbapedia is an encyclopedia, not a walkthrough.
*On {{bp|talk page}}s, please {{bp|Signature policy|sign your comments}} with four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>).
*The use of {{bp|link templates}} is official policy.
*If you happen to spot a vandal in the [[Special:Recentchanges|recent changes]] that has not been dealt with, please see {{bp|dealing with vandalism|this page}} for how to deal with it.
*A list of pages that are linked to, but have not been created, can be found at [[Special:Wantedpages|this page]]. A list of short articles that may require more information can be found {{cat|stubs|here}}, while a list of articles that need improvement can be found {{cat|articles needing improvement|here}}.
*For a future capture, release, trade, or evolution of a Pokémon belonging to a main character of the {{pkmn|anime}}, please do not create or move the page to reflect your suspicions, even if they are shared by many others. Policy here is to wait until the episode in which the event happens takes place is aired, unless there is substantial evidence for the suspicion (such as [[Brock's Happiny]] being held in his arms).
*Image uploading is done on [[Bulbagarden Archives]], a separate wiki accessible through the toolbox in the sidebar. This is done so that both Bulbapedia and [[Bulbanews]] have access to the images uploaded. To activate your account at the Archives and Bulbanews, please login there using the same username and password you use here on Bulbapedia.
*If you want to make a page about a character you made up, please create it at User:Sui/(name), not merely (name). Bulbapedia's main namespace is reserved for ''actual, official Pokémon, items, characters, and locations''. Also, please try to make sure that subpages are not categorized by templates used within.
*Having said this, please make sure that you do contribute adequately to the main namespace. Bulbapedia is not MySpace or Facebook.
*A list of the admins that you can contact in case of a problem can be found [[Special:Listusers/sysop|here]].

Thank you, and have a good time editing here! ----[[User:PAK Man|PAK Man]] [[User talk:PAK Man|Talk]] 07:22, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

==Please==
Slow down on editing the <code>User:</code> namespace. There are only three userspace edits allowed per day, and you have gone over the limit. Editing your userpage too much will lead to it being locked again. Instead of making multiple small edits, why not instead use the preview button (Alt + Shift + P) to check your edits before saving the page? Thank you. --''[[User:Moldy orange|'''Moldy''']][[User talk:Moldy orange|'''Orange''']]'' 16:37, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

== Tai Chi template ==

Per the [[Bulbapedia:Usertag policy|our Usertag policy]], you cannot make a Usertag unless it has meet the criteria listed on the page. But it has been moved to your UserSpace in the meantime. --[[User:CoolPikachu!|'''☆Cool''']][[User talk:CoolPikachu!|'''ピカチ''']][[Special:Contributions/CoolPikachu!|'''ュウ!''']] 23:10, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

==Hi==
I noticed you have been editing the <code>User:</code> namespace a lot recently. You may not be aware of this, but Bulbapedia has a {{bp|Userspace policy}} that asks users to try and minimize the number of userspace edits they make in a short period of time. Instead of making multiple edits, why not use the Preview button (Alt + Shift + P) located right next to the edit button to look at your page and see how it is coming? That way, your page can look great while staying within the required amount of edits. Instead of editing the userspace, as a wiki, we encourage users to edit the mainspace. So, if you edit the mainspace more often, you will be allowed to edit the userspace more. Thanks! --[[User:Tc26/Anime Predictions|tc]][[User:Tc26|²₆]][[User talk:Tc26|tc]][[User:Tc26/Sandbox|26]] 06:46, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

== Question ==

Got AIM? ''[[User:Maverick Nate|'''Maverick''']][[User talk:Maverick Nate|'''Nate''']]'' 03:30, 12 September 2009 (UTC)

::::I have it. So do other people I know. Come on... {{tt|you know you want to|and I'm not talking about getting a perm}}. —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 03:41, 12 September 2009 (UTC)

==Stop.==
Do not edit the <code>User:</code> namespace any more. In the past, we were not allowed to edit our pages ''at all'' because of users over-editing their pages. If you edit your page any more without making some edits to the mainspace, then the privilege for you to edit the userspace will be removed. This has been your final warning. ---- '''[[User:MAGNEDETH|MAG]][[User:MAGNEDETH#Interesting Stuff|NE]][[User talk:MAGNEDETH|DETH]]''' 01:22, 13 November 2009 (UTC)

::: So http://archives.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Special:Contributions/SuiScorpio doesn't count for stuff here? Not meaning to sound rude, genuine question.

::::in most cases, it doesnt count. but even if it did, its not enough. your ratio is roughly 3 archives to 1 userspace. we want our users to obviously edit the mainspace much more, something closer to about 10/1, more ideally, 20/1. -- '''[[User:MAGNEDETH|MAG]][[User:MAGNEDETH#Interesting Stuff|NE]][[User talk:MAGNEDETH|DETH]]''' 01:39, 13 November 2009 (UTC)

==Oh darn==
Stuffed one of the two rules, sorry. ''[[User:Sui|'''Sui''']][[User talk:Sui|'''Scorpio''']]'' 00:42, 15 April 2011 (UTC)

== 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:Masatoshi|Masatoshi]][[User_talk:Masatoshi|''talk'']] 08:14, 22 June 2011 (UTC)

== Excadrill ==

That's just bad lighting, not a deliberate change. The video quality is to be blamed for that. It was a very low-quality version of the video, recorded from God-knows-where by some fan. Look, Haxorus's colors are too bright too! And the clean video on the official website had all correct colors. You're really trying too hard. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 14:22, 28 June 2011 (UTC)

:It's a fair point. I figured if it was considered relevant enough to have on the [[Pokémon Black and White beta]] page then it should be on the 'unreleased and altered' page as well. I've taken it to the discussion page. haha you make it sound like that's a bad thing. ''[[User:Sui|'''Sui''']][[User talk:Sui|'''Scorpio''']]'' 20:38, 28 June 2011 (UTC)

== Trivia ==

Please follow the note at the top of every page. Particularly Note #1: "Do not add any trivia". We already have enough as it is.. In the meantime, contribute to something other than trivial information. [[User:Han Ji-Wan|Han Ji-Wan]] 00:40, 15 August 2011 (UTC)

:::Just making sure you saw :) ''[[User:Sui|'''Sui''']][[User talk:Sui|'''Scorpio''']]'' 11:53, 15 August 2011 (UTC)

== Categorizing ==

Remember to check that every new article you make has at least one category. For example, merchandise pages should have <code><nowiki>[[Category:Merchandise]]</nowiki></code> below the project template.--'''[[User:Dennou Zenshi|電禅]][[User talk:Dennou Zenshi|Den Zen]]''' 14:49, 29 September 2011 (UTC)

:Thanks I'll remember that ''[[User:Sui|'''Sui''']][[User talk:Sui|'''Scorpio''']]'' 01:07, 30 September 2011 (UTC)

== Article titles ==

Hey, long time no see :) Just a reminder that article titles generally shouldn't be written in Camel Case; we generally prefer for just the first word to be capitalized (except for proper nouns, etc.). —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 01:02, 30 September 2011 (UTC)

: Hey hey, yessir duly noted :) ''[[User:Sui|'''Sui''']][[User talk:Sui|'''Scorpio''']]'' 01:08, 30 September 2011 (UTC)

== Trademarks ==

All of those trademarks that you have used on articles (e.g. [[THINKChip Interactive System]] and [[Bean-filled plush figures]]) are rather unnecessary. As a wiki specifically about Pokémon, the vast majority of terms will be trademarked and really don't need to be specifically marked as such. It also gets rather excessive, and messy when next to every word on a page is followed by a ™ marker. Anyway, please don't use all those ™s anymore. Thanks, - [[User:Kogoro|'''Kogoro''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''Talk to me''']] - 07:23, 9 October 2011 (UTC)
:Hi there, I am aware that the use of the trademark sign is unnecessary when citing Pokémon names etc., but as they are a part of the official title of these products I thought it would be appropriate to include them, you don't agree?''[[User:Sui|'''Sui''']][[User talk:Sui|'''Scorpio''']]'' 07:27, 9 October 2011 (UTC)
::No, I don't agree. As I said before, the vast majority of terms will be trademarked. We don't have ™s every time when we mention {{game|Black and White|s}}, despite those being trademarked product names, no? - [[User:Kogoro|'''Kogoro''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''Talk to me''']] - 07:33, 9 October 2011 (UTC)
:::I wasn't including the TM symbol because those names were trademarked (even though they are) I was including them because they were a part of the official name of that product. For example if you look at [[a:File:BFP1 Jigglypuff.jpg]], the official title of this product is <nowiki>#39</nowiki> JigglypuffTM ''[[User:Sui|'''Sui''']][[User talk:Sui|'''Scorpio''']]'' 07:44, 9 October 2011 (UTC)
::::The ™ is there on the product's tag because the name {{p|Jigglypuff}} is a trademark not owned by the creator of that product, but by The Pokémon Company. That doesn't make the product's title "#39 Jigglypuff™" otherwise, Pokémon would be officially "Pokémon™" as well. Also, please see our policy page regarding {{bp|copyrights}}. - [[User:Kogoro|'''Kogoro''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''Talk to me''']] - 07:50, 9 October 2011 (UTC)
:::::Oh yup, that makes sense, thanks for making sure we get that right :) ''[[User:Sui|'''Sui''']][[User talk:Sui|'''Scorpio''']]'' 07:52, 9 October 2011 (UTC)

== Stub template ==

Just a reminder that the stub template goes at the bottom of the page. Also, you don't need to specify "Template:" when transcluding a template. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 05:44, 17 October 2011 (UTC)
:Good to know, cheers. Also what's the defference between stub and incomplete? ''[[User:Sui|'''Sui''']][[User talk:Sui|'''Scorpio''']]'' 05:48, 17 October 2011 (UTC)
::Stub means that the whole article in short and lacking information. Incomplete should really only be called with the "needs=" parameter set to specify exactly what is missing. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 05:49, 17 October 2011 (UTC)

== Scholastic ==

== 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."''

::::::I said later... 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)

::::@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)

== 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.

== 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.

== [[Special:AbuseFilter/3]] ==

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>). Thanks, [[Cyndaquil|'''★''']][[User:Pokéfan95|'''Poké''']][[User talk:Pokéfan95|'''95''']] 01:59, 3 April 2016 (UTC)
: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)

:As for using names from the Russian Pokémon Handbook, that would be fine for species that have yet to receive a 100% official name from the Russian TCG.

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'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.

::[[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.

== 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)

== Unofficial 2004 World Championships Standings ==

I've found an unofficial forum thread that has all standings for the 2004 world championship. And more importantly, it has all the full names of the contestants.

== 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.

== 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.

:#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)

== 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.

'''The Water Flowers of Cerulean City''' (Japanese: ''' ハナダシティのすいちゅうか''' ''The {{tt|Suichūka|water flowers}} of {{tt|Hanada|Cerulean}} City'') is the seventh episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It first aired in Japan on May 13, 1997 and in United States on September 16, 1998.

{{spoilers}}

==Blurb==

Ash seeks the Cascade badge in Cerulean City—but for some reason, Misty doesn't want to join them. When Ash and Brock show up, the city is buzzing about a break-in that just took place—and are initially accused of the crime! (We see Team Rocket commit the robbery, but no one else knows about their involvement yet.)

Ash and Pikachu arrive at the Cerulean City gym, which resembles an aquarium with an Olympic-sized swimming pool. They see a water show performed by the Sensational Cerulean City Synchronized Swimming Sisters. Later on, Ash learns that the sisters are actually the Gym Leaders. He challenges them, but they don't feel like battling and instead offer him the Cascade Badge without a fight.

It looks like Ash will have his Cascade Badge without breaking a sweat...but then a fourth Gym Leader step up! Who is this mysterious Gym Leader? What does Team Rocket plan to do with the stuff they stole? And where's Misty?

==Plot==
Excited about winning his {{Badge|Boulder}}, {{Ash}} is extremely excited to get to [[Cerulean City]] to battle for his {{Badge|Cascade}}. For some reason, though, {{an|Misty}} seems to be trying to avoid entering Cerulean, and tries, unsuccessfully, to convince the others to go to [[Vermilion City]] instead. She leaves Ash and {{an|Brock}} as they enter the city.

When Ash and Brock enter Cerulean City, they see a big crowd of people in a circle surrounding a building. When they get to the front, they see [[Officer Jenny]], and she accuses Ash and Brock of being criminals. When they prove their innocence, she lets them go, and sends the rest of the crowd away. After that, they sit on a bench and Ash asks Brock for inside information on the [[Gym Leader]]. Brock tells him that as a Gym Leader, he cannot give out that information. Then Brock decides to check something out that he has been meaning to look at. They split up, and Ash heads to the [[Cerulean Gym]] alone.

When Ash reaches the Gym, he finds three sisters performing an underwater show for a crowd of people. Ash meets the girls backstage, finds out that they are the Gym Leaders, and challenges them to a battle. The girls, {{ka|Lily}}, {{an|Daisy}}, and [[Violet]], explain that their Pokémon are too tired to battle, and offer to give Ash the Cascade Badge without a proper match. Misty, who has been spying on the entire scene, interferes at the last minute and challenges Ash to a battle.

As it turns out, Misty is herself a Cerulean Gym Leader as well, and also the youngest of [[The Sensational Sisters]], but because she is so much younger than her three sisters, they call her a runt and refuse to acknowledge her as being just as good as they are. After Misty argues with her sisters, she challenges Ash to an official Cerulean Gym battle, two Pokémon per side. Ash tries to send out {{AP|Pikachu}}, but Pikachu refuses to go into battle because he does not want to hurt Misty or her Pokémon. Instead, Ash sends out {{AP|Butterfree}} to battle [[Misty's Staryu]]. After a quick battle, Butterfree gets knocked into the water, causing him to lose the battle. After that, Misty sends out {{TP|Misty|Starmie}} and Ash sends out {{AP|Pidgeotto}}. Pidgeotto uses {{m|Whirlwind}} on Starmie, but it jumps into the water and attacks Pidgeotto. Pidgeotto uses {{m|Gust}}, causing Starmie to hit the wall. Just as Ash is about to win the battle, {{TRT}} interrupts and tries to steal all of the {{type|Water}} Pokémon and the water from the Gym using a giant vacuum machine.

While Team Rocket's vacuum is sucking up the Water Pokémon, it sucks in Pikachu as well. He releases a {{m|Thunderbolt}} attack, which explodes the machine, sending Team Rocket flying. After Team Rocket is gone, Daisy gives Ash the {{Badge|Cascade}}. Misty tries to argue, but her sisters convince her that if Ash had used Pikachu from the start, he would have easily beaten all of her Water-type Pokémon. Misty agrees with her sisters and claims that when she comes back from her journey with Ash, she will be a great Trainer. Brock then meets Ash outside of the Gym, and together they all head for Vermilion City.

==Trivia==
* This is [[Ted Lewis]]'s last full episode voicing James. He will be replaced by [[Eric Stuart]] towards the end of the next episode.
* This episode has led many fans to believe that {{an|Misty}}'s last name is Waterflower. In actuality, the words "water flowers" used in the title are merely a {{wp|metaphor}} used to describe the three sisters' grace and beauty, and their own names come from flower species.
* It's implied in this episode that a Gym Badge serves as a secondary ID for a Trainer, or a primary ID for a Gym Leader, as Brock used his Boulder Badge to clear his name in regards to accusations of being a criminal, whereas Ash used his Pokédex as his method of clearing his name.
* This episode begins the gag where Brock becomes immediately infatuated by almost every girl he sees, as he asks Officer Jenny out.
** This episode is also the first episode where Brock is turned down by a girl.
* {{an|Brock}}'s absence during the episode is never explained, fueling much fan speculation.
* This is the second time [[Animals in the Pokémon world|real animals]] are shown. Fish are seen behind the glass when Ash walks into the aquarium.
* During this episode, the [[Cerulean Gym]] initially offers Ash a {{Badge|Cascade}} without a fight. This is the first time the [[Cerulean Gym]] was shown surrendering a Badge without a fight, the second being when {{OBP|Jimmy|AG092}} challenges the Cerulean Gym in ''[[AG092|Judgment Day!]]''. Instead of a battle, his Badge was awarded by {{an|Daisy}} for cleaning the pool. The sisters imply situations like these were very common when the Gym was under their leadership in ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later!]]''.
** This was the only Gym which had ever offered Ash a Badge without a fight until ''[[DP165|Flint Sparks the Fire!]]''.
* The book ''[[Splashdown in Cerulean City]]'' is partially based on this episode.
* This episode is tied for the shortest time ever between two episodes where Ash has obtained a Badge, having earned his previous Badge only two episodes earlier. The next time this happens is between ''[[EP024|Haunter versus Kadabra]]'' and ''[[EP026|Pokémon Scent-sation!]]''
* This is the first Gym where Ash doesn't use a [[starter Pokémon]]. The second time wouldn't occur until ''[[XY074|Fairy-Type Trickery!]]'', 866 episodes later.

===Errors===
* In the Spanish dub, when Misty's sister calls for Seel, she said "See-al".
* In one scene, a part of Pikachu's right ear is missing, making his left ear look longer than his right.
* When Team Rocket is coming out of their tank, the front part of Ash's hat is white.
* When Pikachu electrocutes Team Rocket the edge of Meowth's ears are shown to be white when in fact they should be black.
* When the recap of the last episode is shown, in the dub, the sign is shown to be written in Japanese.
* When [[Team Rocket]] is coming out of their tank, [[James]] is holding a light blue rose instead of red.

===Dub edits===
* [[PokéRap]]: Day 2
* The outside of the store Team Rocket looted simply says "マシーン" (machine) in the Japanese version, while it says "MACHINE SHOP INDUSTRIAL SUPPLIES ALL MAKES AND MODELS" in the dub. The next shot replaces "ルーム" (room) with "LS".
* Like the Pewter Gym, the "Hanada Gym" sign is changed to "Cerulean Gym".
* When Ash's Pokédex reads Staryu, it classifies the Pokémon as a hermaphrodite. Ash calls this strange, and Misty tells him it shouldn't matter who someone falls in love with. In the English dub, the Pokédex makes no mention of Staryu's gender and instead comments on its shining core, which is sold as a type of jewelry. Ash now remarks that it's typical of a girl to "show off her jewelry", to which Misty responds by telling him to "quit stalling".

'''Bite''' (Japanese: '''かみつく''' ''Bite'') is a damage-dealing {{type|Dark}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation I]]. Prior to [[Generation II]], it was a {{type|Normal}} move.

==Effect==
===Generation I===
Bite is a {{type|Normal}} move in this generation.

Bite inflicts damage and has a 10% chance of causing the target to {{status|flinch}}.

===Generation II onward===
Bite is now a {{type|Dark}} move and has a 30% chance of causing the target to flinch.

Bite can also be used as part of a [[Contest combination|Pokémon Contest combination]], with the user gaining an extra appeal point if either the move {{m|Leer}} or {{m|Scary Face}} was used in the prior turn.

==Trivia==
* Bite is one of the four moves to have its type changed in [[Generation II]], the others being {{m|Gust}}, {{m|Karate Chop}}, and {{m|Sand Attack|Sand-Attack}}. They were all {{type|Normal}} moves in [[Generation I]].
** Bite is the only of these moves that changed to a type introduced in Generation II.
* Bite is the only move to have its [[damage category]] change from [[physical move|physical]] to [[special move|special]], then back to physical again. This is due to the move being {{type|Normal}} in [[Generation I]], {{type|Dark}} in [[Generation II]] and {{Gen|III}}, and classified as a physical move in [[Generation IV]].
* If {{m|Secret Power}} is used in a cave in Generation III, it will have the same animation as Bite.

This episode was originally scheduled to air in Japan on April 7, 2011, as the 26th episode of the Best Wishes series, but it was postponed, along with the original {{OBP|BW023|unaired}} and {{OBP|BW024|unaired}}, because of the {{wp|2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami|Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami}}. Unlike the Team Plasma episodes, this one was eventually aired.

==Blurb==

Before Ash can get to his next Gym Battle challenge in Nimbasa City, our heroes run into their friend Bianca once again! She’s in a hurry to get to a fishing competition nearby. She’s never fished before, but we learn that Cilan certainly has...he calls himself a Fishing Connoisseur! He decides to compete, and all of our heroes join him.

Meanwhile, it’s revealed that the competition has been secretly taken over by none other than Team Rocket! They plan to steal all the Water-type Pokémon the competitors catch and give the best of them to the Boss.

As Cilan wrestles in a huge Basculin and Bianca frantically attempts to catch an even bigger Frillish, Team Rocket changes the plan: they decide to make their escape with all the Fishing Poké Balls while the competitors are distracted! Our heroes catch on to their plot and a serious battle ensues. Jessie, James, and Meowth make their escape after discovering that the Pokémon they planned to steal have been rescued, thanks to Bianca’s new Frillish!

And so, with the competition canceled due to Team Rocket’s tomfoolery, our heroes bid Bianca a warm farewell, and their journey to Nimbasa City continues!

==Plot==
The episode starts off with {{Ash}}, {{an|Cilan}}, and {{an|Iris}} continuing on their journey to [[Nimbasa City]]. They notice everyone crowding around a certain area--naturally, all of them get curious. Ash was just about to go in and see what was going on, when he is suddenly knocked into a wall-enclosed river by {{an|Bianca}}, who apologizes, halting his attempts. Meanwhile after Ash was knocked into the water, a female {{p|Frillish}} notices him. While trying to dry his clothes with a fire, Ash asks her why she was in such a hurry. She tells him that she was going to enter a fishing competition. This convinces Ash, Iris, and Cilan to enter as well. Cilan becomes very ecstatic, exclaiming that he is a Fishing Connoisseur. During his Connoisseur lecture, he was picturing that he was fishing on a boat.

When they get there, {{TRT}} (in disguise) is handing out the fishing rods and fishing {{ball|Poké}}s. They say that the grand prize is a golden fishing rod, causing Cilan to get extremely excited. Bianca tries to choose a certain fishing rod, but Cilan explains that there is a better one more suited for the beginner fisherman. Cilan brings out what looks like a pen, and opens it up to show off his own personal Fishing Rod.

While everyone begins to fish, Bianca winds up her fishing rod but hooks onto Ash's jacket. Cilan had to unhook the rod after it got caught. Cilan begins to demonstrate the proper way to use the fishing rod. He explains to everyone that they must be patient waiting for the Pokémon to grab onto the line. When the Pokémon does grab onto the line, he explains that they must wait patiently for the Pokémon to full tug on the line and then reel it in. Cilan reels in a blue-striped {{p|Basculin}} which flops around in the water after being reeled in. Ash looks up Basculin in his Pokédex. Cilan reels Basculin to the surface ready for battle. He brings out {{p|Pansage}} for battle. Basculin uses {{m|Water Gun}} to knock Pansage into the water. Basculin uses {{m|Bite}} while Pansage tries to swim to the surface. Pansage tries to swim away while Basculin uses {{m|Aqua Tail}}. Pansage jumps out to use {{m|Bullet Seed}} and then {{m|SolarBeam}} to knock out Basculin. Cilan throws a {{Ball|Poké}} to capture Basculin. Red-striped Basculin, Alomomola, and Blue-striped Basculin were battled and caught by other Trainers. Iris tries to fish but becomes bored with it taking so long for a Pokémon to bite the line that she went into the water to grab a Pokémon herself. Iris grabs a Blue-striped Basculin and is both whistled and yellow carded by James.

Cilan hands in his Poké Ball containing the Basculin that he caught and asks Jessie about when they get the results of the contest and what they will do with the Poké Balls handed in. Jessie explains that they will let everyone know the results later on. Bianca attempts to toss her fishing line into the water, this time a Pokémon grabs onto the line. Everyone tries to help her reel in the Pokémon, but Cilan had to step in and reel it out of the water. A female Frillish comes out of the water and uses {{m|Constrict}} on Ash and won't let go. Everyone tries to force the Frillish to let go, but they had no choice but to have {{p|Pikachu}} use {{m|Thunderbolt}} to send Frillish away back into the water.

Team Rocket grabs the Poké Balls and heads out to the boat to make their getaway, but notice that the boat is getting away. A female Frillish moves the boat away from them. Everyone finds Team Rocket and realizes that the whole competition was fake and they were trying to steal all of the Poké Balls. Team Rocket calls out {{p|Woobat}} and {{p|Yamask}}, while Ash scans Yamask with his Pokédex. Pikachu uses Thunderbolt and Pansage uses Bullet Seed which Yamask blocks to protect Woobat. Pikachu uses {{m|Iron Tail}} on Yamask, and Pansage uses {{m|Bite}} on Woobat to defeat them. Everyone begins to notice that all of the Poké Balls are empty and that the female Frillish released them. Team Rocket gets away on their jet packs after Yamask uses {{m|Haze}}. Cilan searches for the golden fishing rod and discovers that it was only painted gold and was destroyed in Team Rocket's escape. Bianca tells them that she is going to the Desert Resort to train hard and leaves them.

* {{an|Cilan}} catches a [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Basculin|Blue-Striped]] {{p|Basculin}}. However, it is later released.

==Trivia==
* [[Professor Oak's Pokémon Live Caster]]: {{p|Scraggy}}
* This episode was originally supposed to be the 26th episode of the {{series|Best Wishes}} and was supposed to fall in between ''[[BW023|Battling For The Love of Bug-Types!]]'' and ''[[BW024|Emolga the Irresistible!]]'', formerly the 25th and 27th episodes, respectively. It was also originally titled '''ヒウンシティのつり大会！釣りソムリエ・デント登場！！''' ''Fishing Conference of {{tt|Hiun City|Castelia City}}! Fisher {{tt|Sommelier|Connoisseur}} - {{tt|Dent|Cilan}} Appears!!'' in Japan before it was postponed.
* Clips from this episode were first shown in the [[Professor Oak's Pokémon Live Caster]] following ''[[BW033|Iris and Excadrill Against the Dragon Buster!]]''.
* This episode, in order to better place it between ''[[BW036|Archeops In The Modern World!]]'' and ''[[BW038|Movie Time! Zorua in "The Legend of the Pokémon Knight"!]]'', went through a couple of minor {{wp|retcon}}s:
** All references to the gang being in [[Castelia City]] have been removed.
** The ending has been altered to show {{an|Bianca}} leaving the group, contradicting the two episodes following where it was intended to air, in which she is traveling with them.
* A Trainer who looks very similar to {{ga|Hilbert}} appears as a contestant in one wide-angle shot of the competition.

===Errors===
[[File:BW037 error.png|thumb|200px|The Scraggy error]]
* Despite the edits listed above, a couple of indications that this was an earlier episode have been left in:
** {{Ash}} was surprised when Cilan revealed his personal fishing rod, despite having seen it in ''[[BW032|Facing Fear with Eyes Wide Open!]]'', five episodes before.
** In the original, Ash was also surprised about seeing James's Yamask, and even scanned it with his [[Pokédex]], despite first seeing it in ''[[BW026|Scare at the Litwick Mansion!]]'', eleven episodes before. In the dub, it was corrected by implying he was scanning it for Bianca.
** Team Rocket's jet packs are shown more closely than during their previous uses, indicating that they were being used for the first time, although they were already shown in the same aforementioned episode.
* The profile of the Scraggy appearing in Professor Oak's Pokémon Live Caster has a yellow colored scale on its head instead of red.

===Dub edits===
* When James's Yamask appeared, Ash did not sound as surprised about it as he did in the original. It was made to look like he was scanning it so Bianca, who was unfamiliar with the Pokémon, would know about it.
* In the [[Pokémon in Latin America|Latin American dub]], James's line ''"Everything seems in order to me!"'' is changed to ''"{{tt|Pues no veo nada porque tengo el ojo cerrado...|Well, I can't see anything because my eye is closed...}}"''. This is for comical purposes, as during the scene he actually doesn't open his eyes at all. Jessie then states that it doesn't matter and that they can have the fishing Poké Balls anyway.

==Blurb==

On their way to the Castelia City Gym for Ash’s next Gym Battle, our heroes encounter Gym Leader Burgh, who says he can’t answer Ash’s challenge until he figures out what’s been bothering his Bug-type Pokémon. Ash and friends pitch in to help him investigate. Together, they discover a Venipede in distress, and of course Ash wants to help it!

Upon further investigation, the gang learns that the whole city is being overrun by a gigantic colony of angry Venipede! The townspeople are in a panic, and the mayor of Castelia City declares that something must be done at once. Ash’s rival Trip is also in town, and he suggests that battling the raging Venipede is the only way to stop them. Burgh counters with a plan to round them up and herd them into the city’s Central Plaza until Professor Juniper can figure out what’s going on.

Working together, the three Trainers find every last Venipede and bring them all to the plaza. Soon, Professor Juniper discovers an unusual energy emanating from the Desert Resort, just outside Castelia City! She concludes that the underground energy flow must be what disturbed the Venipede. The professor and Officer Jenny take off to find out exactly what’s happening in the desert, while Burgh stays behind to look after the Venipede—and Ash’s thoughts turn to his next Gym Battle!

==Plot==
The episode starts off with {{Ash}} and {{Ashfr}} admiring the scenery of [[Castelia City]] as Ash is pumped up with the {{ci|Castelia}} [[Castelia Gym|Gym]] battle. They then bump into [[Burgh]] and he explains something is not right... until {{AP|Pikachu}} hears weird sounds coming from [[Castelia Sewers|the sewers]]. They go down to investigate when they find a {{p|Venipede}} stuck in a pipe. Ash pulls it out and the scared Venipede immediately {{m|Screech}}es to harm everyone, but stops because of injury it has on its head. Ash then notices the injury and explains that he wants to help the Venipede, but it attacks Ash instead. Ash holds the confused creature and tells it he still wants to help with its injury. Venipede finally seems convinced as Ash falls to the floor not feeling so well. Ash wakes up when {{an|Cilan}} feeds him some antidote and Venipede is bandaged by {{an|Iris}} and Burgh. Iris then sprays Venipede with a [[Super Potion]] and feeds it an [[Oran Berry]] which it happily sucks the juices from. They then notice a huge swarm of Venipede marching through the sewers.

The Venipede use Screech to harm everyone to which they then assault them with {{m|Sludge Bomb}}s that Ash and his friends narrowly avoid. The swarm of Venipede start chasing after them as the bandaged Venipede decides to stay behind in the sewers. When everyone gets out, they realize the Venipede are invading the city. [[Officer Jenny]] appears and explains that the Venipede came out from the sewers. They suddenly hear an explosion coming from downtown to which they immediately run to. They see a group of Trainers attacking the Venipede with their {{type|Fire}} Pokémon. One of the Trainers is [[Trip]], who is using his {{p|Lampent}} to take on the Venipede. Ash tries to tell the Trainers to stop attacking the Venipede, but the [[Mayor of Castelia City]] comes and tells Ash that the Venipede need to get cleared out, and that battling them is the only way. But, Burgh suggests that they somehow get all the Venipede into the central part of the city so that they can find out why the Venipede are in the city. Ash, Cilan, and Iris all insist on this idea and Burgh says that they could find the Venipede leader and have it follow them. The Mayor agrees to this idea, and Burgh has Cilan stay at the Pokémon Center to go get Nurse Joy and her Audino. Burgh, Ash and Iris head off to find the Venipede leader as Trip ponders about the Venipede's leader. Back at [[Professor Juniper]]'s lab, the data from the EXA Satellite is received, as one of Juniper's assistants asks why they need it to diagnose the Venipede's actions. Professor Juniper hypothesizes that since Venipede usually nest underground, a reaction within the ground has caused the Venipede to move into Castelia City.

Back in Castelia, Burgh, Ash, and Iris run through the streets as Ash asks how they'll find the leader of the Venipede. Burgh replies that since wild Pokémon stand side by side in times of danger, they will find a lot of Venipede crowded around one Venipede that's the leader. He also says that the leader will be at a certain place where they can monitor their way with the swarm. Iris spots a larger Venipede on top of a building, which has a bunch of other Venipede around it, making itself the leader, and it jumps down onto the street to challenge them. Burgh advises the leader that lingering in the city will place them in danger, and says to follow him. The leader responds with a Sludge Bomb which Burgh dodges. Suddenly, Trip appears on the scene and tells his Lampent to attack the Venipede leader with Flamethrower. Ash tells Trip to stop, but Trip says that if the leader were to be defeated, the swarm would fall apart. Trip has his Lampent use {{m|Shadow Ball}} on the leader, but Ash jumps in the way and takes the hit instead. Then, the Venipede that was stuck in the sewer pipe from before appears and crawls towards Ash. Ash tells Trip that the Venipede can be gentle Pokémon if they don't attack them. Burgh supports Ash's statement by saying that their hearts have yet to reach them. Cilan then returns along with Nurse Joy and her Audino. Trip recalls his Lampent and agrees to stay out of their way in their plan and walks off. Burgh tells Nurse Joy's Audino to use Heal Pulse on the Venipede, and Burgh pulls out a Bug Flute. He plays it, and all the Venipede start to follow him. Ash and friends are awed by this and Burgh tells them to go round up the remaining separated Venipede.

Ash runs towards an alley and calls out {{AP|Pidove|Tranquill}} and has her use Gust to get the individual Venipede with the others. Iris heads towards some Venipede on the roof of a building and tells Axew to use Dragon Rage. Axew fails at Dragon Rage yet again, but it scares the Venipede into joining the herd. Cilan has Pansage help with Bullet Seed as well. However, one of the Venipede uses Sludge Bomb on Ash's Pidove! However, Trip has his Tranquill save Ash's Pidove from the attack as he decides to help the Venipede as well. Through these series of events, Ash's Pidove starts to evolve! Ash's newly evolved {{p|Tranquill}} works with Trip's Tranquill to get the last of the Venipede reunited with the swarm. Back at Professor Juniper's lab, a strange energy signal is received, and she traces it to the Desert Resort, as two unknown energies begin to fuse. Meanwhile on a plane, Giovanni is informed by a Team Rocket Grunt that they'll be arriving shortly in the Unova Region. {{an|Giovanni}} exclaims that with the [[Meteonite]]'s power, Team Rocket will achieve power and glory. Night has now fallen on Castelia City, as all the Venipede have gathered in the central plaza. The Mayor of Castelia City thanks Burgh, Ash, and the others for their help. Trip starts to walk off saying that his Gym challenge probably won't come any time soon, and that he's headed to the next city for his Badge. Professor Juniper then arrives and tells Ash and friends that she's discovered a strange energy flow that leads to the Desert Resort. Burgh says that the energy disturbed the Venipede, and caused them to flee towards Castelia in fear. Officer Jenny volunteers to come with Professor Juniper to investigate the Desert Resort. Ash, Cilan, and Iris want to come too, much to Juniper's surprise. Burgh has to stay in Castelia City in order to keep the Venipede swarm in safe condition. With that, everyone gets inside a helicopter and journeys to the [[Desert Resort]].

==Trivia==
* [[Professor Oak's Pokémon Live Caster]]: {{p|Yamask}}
* This episode references the story of the {{wp|Pied Piper of Hamelin}} when Burgh uses his bug flute to lead the Venipede out the city at the request of the mayor.
* [[DP106|Another episode]] had a similar episode title to this one. Coincidentally, both episodes [[Dawn's Mamoswine|featured]] an [[Ash's Tranquill|evolution]].
* Burgh's bug-flute closely resembles an ocarina.
* This is the first episode where [[Iris's Axew]] appears to be hit with recoil from its unmastered Dragon Rage.
* Because of the postponing and later retconning of the next two episodes, this episode marks the final appearance of [[Pierce]]. It is also the first and — due to the skipping of the next two episodes, only — time his unique Team Rocket uniform is seen in the series, albeit only from the back.

===Errors===
* Right after Burgh puts the bandage on Venipede, the gold buckles on Cilan's shoes are missing.
* While {{an|Cilan}} and [[Nurse Joy]] are running to Burgh, one of the Venipede climbing the lamp post in the background falls off. As it does, the shadow beneath its feet is shown while mid air.
* Burgh's white undershirt in the scene where they confront the Venipede leader is missing.
* When Trip commands his Tranquill to use {{m|Air Cutter}}, he is shown with six fingers on his right hand. (This error was fixed on Japanese DVD releases.)
* When Ash and friends leave the sewer, Cilan's eyes have sclera.

===Dub edits===
* To maintain consistency of the planned {{OBP|BW023|unaired}} and {{OBP|BW024|unaired}} being skipped, the scene where {{Ash}}, {{an|Iris}}, and {{an|Cilan}} insist to accompany [[Professor Juniper]] to the [[Desert Resort]] has been removed. The [[narrator]]'s lines are also changed to say that Ash looked forward to his next Gym battle rather than saying that he and his friends would accompany Professor Juniper to the Desert Resort.
**As of ''[[BW112|Team Plasma's Pokémon Power Plot!]]'', it appears that the dubbed edit is true as the skipped episodes are retconned out of continuity, although it creates a plot hole in the dub of what happened to Professor Juniper's research for what caused the strange energy signals that angered the Venipede, what happened to the Meteonite, what happened to Pierce, why {{TRT}} went back to their white uniforms, and why Giovanni was suddenly away and busy after being seen arriving in Unova with the intent of claiming the Meteonite.
** However, since the original ending is still kept in re-broadcasts of this episode in Japan and the [[BW023 (unaired)|following episode]] preview is retained, it's possible that the events of the deleted scene and the removed episodes that followed are still to be viewed as canon despite being retconned later on.
** In the first edition of the rental DVD containing this episode, the preview for the postponed episode was replaced with the preview for [[BW023|the actual following episode.]] However, subsequent printings of the DVD have restored the original preview for some reason. The original ending to the episode itself remains unaltered in all printings.

'''Cilan''' (Japanese: '''デント''' ''Dent'') is one of the three [[Gym Leader]]s of [[Striaton City]]'s Gym, known officially as the [[Striaton Gym]]. He [[Type expert|specializes]] in {{type|Grass}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} and will battle the player if they chose {{p|Oshawott}} as their [[starter Pokémon]]. He gives the {{Badge|Trio}} to Trainers who defeat him.

==In the games==
Cilan appears in {{game|Black and White|s}} as the [[Gym Leader]] of Striaton City's Gym, alongside [[Chili]] and [[Cress]]. This Gym is the first to be challenged by the player. Cilan battles the player if {{p|Oshawott}} is the chosen starter Pokémon. Trainers who defeat Cilan will receive the Trio Badge, along with {{TM|83|Work Up}}.

During the two years between {{game|Black and White|s}} and {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}}, Cilan, along with his brothers, retired from being Gym Leaders to train.

===Quotes===
===={{game|Black and White|s}}====
'''Outside of the Gym'''
:''"Yes? Yes, I am a [[Gym Leader]] of this town. You are...? Right. You want to challenge the Gym. In that case... What was the [[starter Pokémon|first Pokémon]] you chose? <Starter>... I see. It's weak against <[[type]]>-type Pokémon. I think you need to prepare to face that type. I'll be waiting for you inside."''

'''[[Striaton Gym]]'''
* Entering the Gym
:Cilan: ''"Welcome to the [[Striaton City]] Pokémon Gym."''
:[[Chili]]: ''"I'm Chili! I light things up with {{type|Fire}} Pokémon!"''
:[[Cress]]: ''"I'm a {{type|Water}} specialist, and my name is Cress. Pleased to make your acquaintance."''
:Cilan: ''"And my name is Cilan. I like {{type|Grass}} Pokémon."''

:Cilan: ''"Um, you see... As for why the three of us, um, are all here is, well, er..."''
:Chili: ''"Oh,enough! Listen up! The three of us will decide whom you'll battle! It'll be based on the type of the first Pokémon you chose!"''
:Cress: ''"That is indeed the case. And the partner you first chose was <type> type, it seems."''

* If the player's [[starter Pokémon]] is {{p|Snivy}} or {{p|Tepig}}
:''"...Uh hm. I always seem to lose the timing of... of the dance. Like that. True enough, I did want to... want to have a Pokémon battle with you."''

* If the player's [[starter Pokémon]] is {{p|Oshawott}}
:''"Nothing personal... No hard feelings... Me and my Grass-type Pokémon will...um... We're gonna battle come what may."''

* Before battle
:''"So, um, if you're OK with me, I'll, um, put everything I've got into being, er, you know, your opponent."''

* During battle (the first non-KO HP loss)
:''"Ah! My Pokémon!"''

* After sending his last Pokémon
:''"Huh? Could it be? Could I have only one Pokémon left?"''

* Being defeated
:''"Er... Is it over now?"''

* After being defeated
:''"...What a surprise You...are very strong. Seems like not even Chili or Cress could beat you.."''

* After the battle (regardless of starter Pokémon)
:''"Gym [[Badge]]s are a proof of a Trainer's abilities. If you have one Badge, Pokémon, including traded Pokémon up to Lv. 20, will obey you without question. We also want you to have this. [[TM83]] contains {{m|Work Up}}. If you use Work Up, the Pokémon's {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Sp. Atk}} go up! By the way, [[TM]]s can be used as many times as you want."''
:''"In the [[Unova]] region, we are still novice Gym Leaders. Which means the other Gym Leaders are much stronger than we are. We'll need to work hard and improve."''

* Post-game
:''"In the Unova region, um, we are still novice Gym Leaders. Which means, well, that other Gym Leaders are much stronger than we are. Going...slow...and steady...is OK, so... we compete with one and get, um, stronger and stronger."''

'''Badge Case'''
:''The fundamentals of Pokémon battling are type matchups! They're important!''

===={{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}}====
'''[[Memory Link]] - A Triple Team'''
* Striaton Restaurant - Present
: (''to {{player}}'') "''Welcome to Striaton Restaurant! This place used to be a Pokémon Gym, but a lot has happened...''"
: (''After speaking to the other brothers'') "''Well, why don't I tell you what happened...''"

* Striaton Trainers' School - Flashback
:''"Chili, are you listening to me? We have to study hard and become full-fledged Gym Leaders as soon as possible..."''
:''"You think so? But it isn't that big of a deal. We may not have made it in time, but [[Team Plasma]] is still gone."''
:''"Come on, you two... Don't you think it's a bit strange to get recognition and respect as Gym Leaders just for beating bad guys?"''
:''"I mean... [[Shadow Triad|They]] were overwhelmingly strong."''
: (''to Cress'') ''"You're right. Chili. Cress. I think as long as the three of us act like the Gym Leaders we are now, nothing will ever change.'"''
:''"All right. Let's resign as Gym Leaders and start our training over from the ground up. Then, I'm sure one of us will become a Trainer everyone recognizes as great."''

* End of flashback (if initiated by Cilan)
:''"Because of that day, we can truly aim for the top!"''

'''[[Pokémon World Tournament]]'''
* Before battle (first round)
:''"Nothing personal... No hard feelings... Me and my Grass-type Pokémon, um... We're gonna battle, come what may."''

* Before battle (second round)
:''"So, um, if you're OK with me, I'll, um, put everything I've got into being, er, you know, your opponent."''

* Before battle (final round)
:''"Nothing personal... No hard feelings... Me and my Grass-type Pokémon, um... We're gonna battle, come what may. I'm looking forward to battling with you."''

* Being defeated
:''"Huh? Is it over?"''

* If the player is defeated
:''"Huh? Did I win?"''

* After being defeated
:''"What a surprise... You are very strong, aren't you? I guess my brothers wouldn't have been able to defeat you either..."''

* After winning
:''"I guess...I suppose I won, because I've been competing with my brothers Chili and Cress, and we all were able to get tougher."''

* In the lobby, after the tournament
:''"Well...I'm just glad I was able to bring out the delectable charm of Grass-type Pokémon. I lost, though... Well, more importantly, congratulations!"''

'''Striaton City - Striaton Restaurant'''
*Asking to team up
:(first visit)''"Um. My name is Cilan. I like Grass-type Pokémon. We were Gym Leaders, but in order to improve ourselves further, we are working at this Restaurant and spending every day with Pokémon. How about it? Would you team up with me and take part in a Double Battle?"''
:(subsequent visits)''"How about it? Would you like to team up with me and take part in a Double Battle?"''
::'''No:''' ''"…Ah, hmm. I must've timed… my invitation poorly… True enough, I did want to… to have a Pokémon battle with you."''
::'''Yes:''' ''"OK. If you're fine with me, I will put everything I have into being your partner in battle!"''

*Before battle
:''"OK… So, um, I'm Cilan, I like {{type|Grass}} Pokémon, and this is my partner here!"''

*After battle (victorious)
:(on stage)''"OK… So, um, I'm Cilan, I like Grass-type Pokémon, and this is my partner here!"''
:(main area)''"…What a surprise. You…are very strong. Would you team up with me again sometime? There's still much I want to learn."''

*If loses to the player
:''"…Huh. Looks like my timing was, um, off?"''

*After battle (loses to the player)
:''"During the battle I was so taken with your fighting style, I almost lost the timing for giving my Pokémon directions! Next time, I would like to team up with you."''

===National Gymquirer===
:Jingle: ''"Woo hoo! All right! It's 'The National Gymquirer'!"''
:Page: ''"That's right! We collect the hottest gossip about Gym Leaders seen around town! Here is today's letter. From someone going by the name Cafélover! Thank yooou! 'Recently, I saw Striaton Gym's three Gym Leaders, and they were all out of order! Like, Chili was Cilan, and Cilan was Cress!' Hmmm. Well, I'm not saying you're crazy, but...are you sure they weren't just standing in front of a mirror? 'The National Gymquirer'! We eagerly await your letters!"''

==In the anime==
[[File:Cilan anime.png|thumb|250px|Cilan in the anime]]
{{main|Cilan (anime)}}
Cilan is [[Ash Ketchum]]'s former {{ashfr|traveling partner}} in the anime. He was one of the Gym Leaders of the [[Striaton Gym]], as well as a [[Pokémon Connoisseur]], but he decided to travel with Ash and {{an|Iris}} so that he could experience different people, places, and Pokémon to increase his skill as a Connoisseur, instead of being confined to Striaton City. He navigates the group to their various locations, as well as cooks the meals.

==In the manga==
===In the Pocket Monsters BW manga===
In the {{OBP|Pocket Monsters BW|Kosaku Anakubo}} manga, Cilan appears along with his brothers Chili and Cress. They are seen in [[PMBW02]], where {{OBP|Red|Pocket Monsters}} and his Pokémon visit a restaurant owned by the three brothers. {{TP|Red|Clefairy}} tries to instigate a fight between the brothers, but fails on many occasions.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===

[[File:Cilan Cress Chili Adventures.png|right|thumb|260px|Cilan in Pokémon Adventures]]
Cilan, along with brothers Chili and Cress, are the triplet Gym Leaders of the Striaton Gym. Although they each got their Gym Leader job individually, they were assigned to one Gym. It is later revealed that they were given the shared job to help teach newer Trainers about type advantages. Due to the type they each specialize in, it was the perfect job for them.

Cilan and his brothers are first seen in {{adv|Black}}'s imagination as he sets out on his journey to beat the Pokémon League. Cilan later appears in person at the Striaton Gym with his brothers. With the help of his Pansage, Cilan serves tea to Black to signal the start of their Gym battle against the challenger. Although only Black challenged the Gym, the brothers allow his friends, {{adv|Cheren}} and {{adv|Bianca}} to challenge it as well. After Black, Cheren, and Bianca clear the Gym challenge, they face the Striaton triplets in a battle. Due to the type advantage their Pokémon have over their opponents, Cilan and his brothers prove to be powerful Trainers. Despite the clear advantage they had over their opponents, Cilan and his brothers are defeated when Black has his [[Tep]] use Pansage's fallen leaves to revive his teammates, allowing them to win the battle 3 to 2. Having lost the battle, Cilan presents the challengers with the {{Badge|Trio}}. Sometime later, Cilan and his brothers prepare to head out to an unknown location.

The brothers later confront the [[Shadow Triad]] near the [[P2 Laboratory]]. They reveal that even though they weren't at Nacrene City during the Dark Stone incident, they were assigned to follow their enemies if the other Gym Leaders were defeated. The Shadow Triad prove to be very powerful foes, and even after evolving their Pokémon, Cilan and his brothers still weren't strong enough to defeat them. Suddenly, the Gym Leaders are saved by {{adv|Keldeo}}, who had been watching the battle with its mentors. Believing that the Striaton Gym Leaders to be the better humans, Keldeo attacks the Shadow Triad. Before it can continue, the Shadow Triad attack Keldeo and trap it. Keldeo's mentors, {{adv|Cobalion}}, {{adv|Virizion}}, and {{adv|Terrakion}} jump down to save it by attacking the Shadow Triad along with Cilan, Cress and Chili.

He, like his brothers, tends to move his arms in a certain position. In Cilan's case, they are kept held behind his back.

Along with being his main Pokémon, Simisage assists Cilan and his brothers in the kitchen by mixing herbs for tea. It, as a Pansage, was used in the battle against Black, Cheren, and Bianca and defeats [[Bianca's Oshawott]] by shattering its [[Scalchop and seamitar|scalchop]] and smashing it into a wall. Despite being powerful, Pansage was defeated when [[Tep]] uses its previously dropped leaves to revive itself, Oshawott, and Snivy, which allowed them to win the battle.

Later, it was used to battle the [[Shadow Triad]] in a Triple Battle. Although the battle was tough, Pansage was given a Leaf Stone, enabling it to evolve into a Simisage to become stronger.}}

[[File:CilanNextDestinies86.jpg|200px|Right|thumb|Cilan]]
'''Cilan''' was introduced as a {{TCG|Supporter card}} in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] during the Black & White Series (the Japanese BW Era). First released in the Japanese {{TCG|Hail Blizzard}} expansion, it was later reprinted as a {{TCG|BW-P Promotional cards|BW-P Promotional card}} before debuting in English in the {{TCG|Next Destinies}} expansion, with all three prints featuring an illustration based on the [[Yusuke Ohmura]] artwork of the character. Cilan allows the player to take three basic {{TCG|Energy card}}s from their Deck and add them to their hand, after showing them to their opponent.

==Trivia==
* His Japanese Leader title, shared with Chili and Cress, is {{tt|トライアル　トライアングル|Trial triangle}}.

==Blurb==

Our heroes stop to visit their old friends Professor Juniper and Dr. Fennel on their way to Nimbasa City, just in time to witness an amazing event: Dr. Fennel uses a special Pokémon restoration machine to restore an Archen from a Plume Fossil!

The ancient Pokémon has some trouble adjusting to its modern environment, rejecting Cilan’s specially prepared food and complaining in an ear-splitting voice. Flying also proves difficult for Archen, even though it’s the ancestor of all Flying-type Pokémon. This gives our heroes and the researchers a monumental opportunity to witness the historic birth of Pokémon flight! At first Archen struggles to get off the ground, even with help from Ash’s Tranquill—but after it evolves into Archeops, it takes off easily!

Meanwhile, Dr. Fennel’s machine has drawn the attention of Team Rocket, who hack into it to steal the data. They also try to catch Archeops, but after losing a heated battle, they withdraw to celebrate their data-stealing success with Doctor Zager.

Worried about how Archeops will survive in the modern world, Dr. Fennel and Professor Juniper start making plans to create a proper environment for it...and then they discover the purpose of its persistent cries when three other Archeops appear! And so, united with others of its own kind, Archeops happily goes off with its new friends, and our heroes bid them a fond farewell.

==Plot==
The episode starts off with {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} in a building somewhere on the way to [[Nimbasa City]]. [[Professor Juniper]] is showing {{Ash}}, {{an|Iris}}, and {{an|Cilan}} a [[Cover and Plume Fossils|Plume Fossil]] and tells them that the ancient {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} {{p|Archen}} came from this Fossil, immediately interesting the group--that is, everyone except Iris, who thinks it looks like a rock. Ash recalls [[Nacrene City]]'s Gym Leader [[Lenora]] and her fascination with Fossils as well. Professor Juniper slips slightly and tells her everyone has their own opinions. She shows Ash, Iris, and Cilan a picture of Archen, and Iris comments that if Archen is the "First Bird Pokémon" then it must be {{AP|Tranquill}}'s great-great relative. The group continues to read the manual as Professor Juniper looks over at [[Fennel]], who is on the computer. The Fossil is placed in a machine that is powered by {{p|Musharna}}'s Dream Smoke. The machine is then activated, scanning the Fossil and then creating Archen. After the machine stops, they open up the machine and find Archen. A seed seems to fall off of Archen's plumage. Initially, Archen tries to fight off Ash and friends, confused and using {{m|Peck}} on everyone. Ash attempts to calm down the Archen but instead they run right into each other. Archen wears herself out and falls asleep. Professor Juniper brings out her camera and starts filming the Archen. Meanwhile in another location, {{TRT}} is listening in on the action while planning how they are going to try and capture the Archen. Archen wakes up and starts crying, as the seeds that appeared when Archen was revived started growing and sprouting. Archen's cries shatter windows. Ash grabs Archen trying to calm her down, after of which she does. Ash attempts to feed Archen, but she spits it out and escapes through the broken window and into the trees outside. Archen spits out the tree's fruit as well.

Ash brings out Tranquill to help teach Archen to fly while Iris brings out {{TP|Iris|Emolga}} to help but she uses {{m|Attract}}, which fails indicating that Archen is indeed a [[Gender|female]]. Instead of helping Archen, Emolga uses {{m|Volt Switch}} to force {{TP|Cilan|Stunfisk}}, and due to curiosity, Archen uses Peck on Stunfisk, causing it to become surprised and use {{m|ThunderShock}}. Archen uses her cries again while the sprouting seeds start growing even more, turning into a tree. While learning to fly, Archen starts to fly for short distances. Archen cries out in happiness causing the growing tree to grow even larger breaking the machines, and going right out of the window. Archen climbs up the new tree to eat the new fruit, and ends up loving that fruit. Archen cries out in delight and evolves into {{p|Archeops}}. Archeops shows that she can fly to everyone, then all of a sudden, Team Rocket strikes. Team Rocket has {{TP|James|Yamask}} use {{m|Night Shade}} and set the tree on fire while they try to get away. Ash brings out {{AP|Roggenrola}} and {{AP|Oshawott}} to put out the fire. Team Rocket uses an electric net to capture the Archeops, which enrages her, using {{m|DragonBreath}} to break free and attack them.

After Team Rocket gets away, everyone looks at the tree which was now completely destroyed. Archeops begins crying out and a flock of Archeops hear her cries and come to her. Everyone says their goodbyes to her and the flock flies away. [[Dr. Zager]] informs Team Rocket that even though they failed to capture Archeops, they were able to obtain all of the data that was needed.

Talk:Gender unknown

2017-07-16T21:59:29Z

Marshtompert: /* Well... */

The question, is this programmed into the games? Far as I knew, the egg groups are taken from the actual game programming, and the Pokémon that are genderless can't breed with anything but Ditto. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 02:08, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
:Well? '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 05:18, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
::<nowiki>*taps foot*</nowiki> I'm waaaaaaiting. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 00:04, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

Dunno?--[[User:Kuki|Kuki]][[User talk:Kuki|Talk]] 00:09, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
::He,he, nevermind, I found it (stupid me). So, TTEchidna, how's my sprites?[[User:Taviource|Taviource]] 00:17, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
:::What now? '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 00:37, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

== Anyway... ==

Seriously, is this programmed into the games, or is it more of a subcategory for genderless Pokémon that can breed? '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 03:45, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
:i dont think this is programed into the games, but, it should probably be mentioned. after all, a Magnemite and Geodude are in the same group (mineral) but they cant breed together. -- '''[[User:MAGNEDETH|MAG]][[User:MAGNEDETH#Interesting Stuff|NE]][[User talk:MAGNEDETH|DETH]]''' 03:49, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

==Remove genderless Pokemon from other egg group pages?==
Yes or no? [[User:MathijsP|MathijsP]] 09:35, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
:No. They're in those egg groups according to the game programming. This page exists because Nintendo knew there'd be a bunch of people writing letters and saying "Y CANT MY MAGENMIT BRED W/ MY STELIX?!", and so listed the genderless breeders separately in Stadium 2. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 14:10, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

== Trivia ==

The trivia section states that all members belong only to this group, yet they are still listed among the other egg groups as well. ~[[User:SaturnYoshi|'''$aturn''']][[User:SaturnYoshi|'''¥oshi''']] [[User talk:SaturnYoshi|THE VOICES]] 14:29, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
:That's because they ''are'' in the other groups. This comes from stupid Stadium 2's stupid classification because Pokémon fans have demonstrated [[the truck|time]] and [[Form differences#Shaymin|again]] that there's nothing dumber than we are. They likely made up that listing because they didn't want people to be whining about not being able to breed their Onix with a Magneton. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 22:37, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
::...why, exactly, are you fixating on that combination? --[[User:Martonimos|Martonimos]][[User talk:Martonimos|((Argh]]|[[Special:Contributions/Martonimos|Blargh))]] 22:40, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
:::Because it's a convenient one? I'm not gonna go say "Y KANT MI GARDEVOUR BRED W/ MY ROTTOM" because Garde and Rotom get enough questions about their egg groups...
:::Specifically why Garde's not in Humanshape and if Rotom's a legendary. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 22:48, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

:::I'm not saying that they ''shouldn't'' be listed in other groups, just that the trivia says they are ''not''. ~[[User:SaturnYoshi|'''$aturn''']][[User:SaturnYoshi|'''¥oshi''']] [[User talk:SaturnYoshi|THE VOICES]] 22:47, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

:::Correction. You sure work faster than I can get my point across... ~[[User:SaturnYoshi|'''$aturn''']][[User:SaturnYoshi|'''¥oshi''']] [[User talk:SaturnYoshi|THE VOICES]] 22:49, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

== Rotom, Manaphy/Phione ==

According to the pages, Manaphy/Phione is also in the Water1/Fairy groups, and Rotom is in the Indeterminate group. If these truly belong as part of this egg group, they need to be put in a separate table for "also in other groups".[[User:KrytenKoro|KrytenKoro]] 19:03, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
:Here's the thing. The "Gender unknown" egg group is simply a listing of the breedable Pokémon which lack genders, because Nintendo thought people were stupid and would attempt to breed Onix and Magnemite. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 22:35, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
::<s>Well then, the header shouldn't say "Only in this egg group".</s> Nevermind.[[User:KrytenKoro|KrytenKoro]] 18:47, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

== ? ==
Shouldn't this article be called Gender unknown Pokémon rather than than Gender unknown (egg group)?? why is it an egg group from the first place?--[[User:Wowy|Wowy]] 08:33, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

:Stadium 2 listed genderless Pokémon who were able to breed (only with Ditto) as a distinct egg group. This article is a reflection and extension of that. --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 15:13, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

== Hey guys. ==

Why is this listed as part of the total of egg groups (16), if {{type|???}} isn't listed as part of the total of types (17)?

Could it be that... a der, the ???-type is just like this egg group: a side note. So. I'm saying in the other articles, only count 15 egg groups, mention, like the ???-type, that this is a "special" grouping, but ''not count it''. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 09:45, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

== Deletion ==

This does not appear to have been discussed in more than half a decade, so I think our standards have tightened enough since then that it's worth a second look at this page.

(1) First and foremost, since this does not actually exist in any game except Stadium 2, I think this should be deleted and simply mentioned in the Stadium 2 article. At the very least, even if this page isn't deleted, we need to demote it so it isn't mentioned as if it was a normal Egg Group and so it doesn't appear in the Egg Group navigation box. It isn't a real group, and it doesn't appear in the games' programming, so I really feel it's even less canonical than the {{t|Bird}} type, which at least ''was'' actually programmed in even if it was scrapped before release.

(2) On a separate note, since this seems to have only existed in Stadium 2, why have we been adding all the genderless breedable Pokémon that have been introduced in Generation III and beyond??? If it's true that this group only existed in Stadium 2, then ''all those Pokémon have never belonged to this group'' and should in no conceivable way be on this list. This is a ridiculous fanonical overexpansion, and if this page remains I really feel like it should cover ''only'' what is official — the Pokémon that Stadium 2 listed in it.

That's my soapbox. Sorry if it was a bit of a rant. Please discuss. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 06:41, 5 June 2016 (UTC)

:While I fully understand where you're coming from, I think that genderless breedable Pokémon need to be differentiated in some way. While we're on this topic, I don't like how they're mixed in among other members of their own egg group (such as Mineral), giving them the illusion that they can breed with other members of that group, when they can't.

:What I think would be a fair solution is to delete this page (but perhaps create a "list" page that contains all the Pokémon seen here), and on the individual egg group pages that contain genderless Pokémon, sort them out into a separate table at the bottom. — [[User:Kianglo|KiANGLO]] [[User talk:Kianglo|TALK]] 07:11, 5 June 2016 (UTC)

::I have no reason to not delete this page as long as a "list" page replaces it (as already stated). I think it's important to make a distinction between Undiscovered and Gender Unknown.
::Also, I didn't notice that the liked of Magnemite were listed in their technical egg groups. I'd say that gender unknown Pokemon ought to have an annotation on their egg group page clarifying that they are unable to breed with the rest of the group. [[User:FoggyMoor|FoggyMoor]] ([[User talk:FoggyMoor|talk]]) 18:10, 9 June 2016 (UTC)
:::{{cat|Genderless Pokémon|List}}.
:::My biggest problem with this is that it adds a ''third'' "Egg Group" to some Pokemon. I mostly think this classification from Stadium 2 could be mentioned on [[Egg Group]] and maybe [[Pokémon Stadium 2]] and that'd be fine.
:::Alternatively, however, I think it'd also be alright to just remove the "Other" column on this page and that'd address part of my own unease. After all, the point of these Pokemon is that they can only breed with Ditto anyway, it's not really important what their formal Egg Groups are. On other pages, that column makes plenty of sense; but not here. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 18:30, 9 June 2016 (UTC)
::::I agree one thousand percent on adding a note to Pokémon who are genderless on their own Egg Group pages. Like a little asterisk after their names stating that they cannot breed (I'd personally prefer genderless Pokémon to have their own separate table on those pages, but whatever). I think it's IMPERATIVE that such a distinction be made, because of how many times I go to one of those pages to look up potential "fathers" for my breeding and have to sift through Pokémon that cannot breed based on nothing but my memory. And sometimes it's not easy to remember that Golem has a gender and Cryogonal doesn't, and things like that. — [[User:Kianglo|KiANGLO]] [[User talk:Kianglo|TALK]] 05:30, 10 June 2016 (UTC)

== Well... ==

Even tho this is not ingame I would say this to be deleted due to its being unnecessary, because of the existance of the Undiscovered egg group, however this might be useful for people that want to know if the pokemon that they are about to breed is genderless and requires a ditoo. I dont see any harm in keeping the link {{unsigned|‎RolandoCM}}

I definitely think this should be deleted.--[[User:Marshtompert|Marshtompert]] ([[User talk:Marshtompert|talk]]) 21:59, 16 July 2017 (UTC)

Hello
I am an aspiring voice actor who hopes to do several voices in the future for Pokemon.
I am totally blind.
My favorite pokemon are Azumarill, entei, Mew, Mewtwo, Celebi, Zorua, Axew, Marill, and Treecko.
I as of late have seen movies 1 through 7, 11, and 13.
I have never and will never watch the Japanese versions, as i am terrible at understanding other languages, but I do admire the work they have done. Great job.
I hate it when people correct me due to my pronunciations of the words status (stay tuhs), data (day tah), and missile (miss ile)
I love hearing music from the first 3 English pokemon movies and the first two Pikachu shorts in episodes, and pray that I hear them in future episodes again.
My favorite pokemon movies are Pokemon the First Movie and Pokemon 3, Spell of the Unown.
My favorite episodes are Address Unown and A Poached Ego.
My favorite Pokemon Chronicles episodes are Celebi and Joy, Training Days and Trouble in Big Town.
My favorite voice actors are Veronica Taylor, Kayzie Rogers, Mike Pollock, Rachael Lillis, Megan Hollingshead and Eileen Stevens.
Favorite PIkachu short: Obviously Pikachu's vacation.
Favorite dub: 4kids , PUSA/TPCI s all right, but nothing can beat 4kids to me anyway.
Goal:
Create 2 Pokemon specials as a thank you to the series, I'm only writing the story idea, and am open to suggestions.
I am inventing 4 pokemon:
Golgotha, the pre-evolve form of mew
Alion, the pre-evolve form of Deoxys
Iciclea, the freezing pokemon
and Glacies, the evolve form of Iciclea
Golgotha comes from the fact that it is a mysterious pokemon
Alion is a play on the word alien
Iciclea is a play on the word icicle and the fact that it like Jynx appears to be a female and Glacies, a play on the word Glacier. Glacia would sound too much like Glacion.
Please, be open to my ideas, and I will happily be open to yours.
Happy editing

== 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."''
:::::Please try to keep that in mind. - [[User:Kogoro|'''Kogoro''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''Talk to me''']] - 08:13, 15 February 2016 (UTC)

::::::I said later... 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)

:::::::Here, I achieved to take what I've done starting from 0:00 and edit until I've reached about 530 edits today. [[User:MannedTooth| MannedTooth ]] ([[User_Talk:MannedTooth|Talk]]) 21:11, 15 February 2016 (UTC)
::::::::I apologize, the use of "earlier" was a typo from being distracted. Anyway, I can confirm that you have qualified to use the user tag. Congrats. - [[User:Kogoro|'''Kogoro''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''Talk to me''']] - 02:07, 16 February 2016 (UTC)
== Help me identify these ==

Can you ?

[http://www.pokebeach.com/forums/attachments/img_2887-jpg.7215/]

I think the Pikachu comes from [[XY-P_Black_Star_Promos_(KTCG)]], but I am uncertain.

Is the mewtwo exclusive to the Korean sets? Thanks ! [[User:MannedTooth| MannedTooth ]] ([[User_Talk:MannedTooth|Talk]]) 01:03, 16 February 2016 (UTC)
:First off, We do not use content from PokéBeach for our articles under any circumstances. Secondly, that file cannot be accessed without having an account on their site, which I do not have, nor will I ever. - [[User:Kogoro|'''Kogoro''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''Talk to me''']] - 02:07, 16 February 2016 (UTC)

Excuse me Kogoro. Can you change my user name to CoolPokeGuy?--[[User:JasonL|JasonL]] ([[User talk:JasonL|Talk]]) 03:00, 16 February 2016 (UTC)
:Done. - [[User:Kogoro|'''Kogoro''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''Talk to me''']] - 03:27, 16 February 2016 (UTC)

== Great headline and images ==

First of all, your message on the main page is so powerful, you really achieve to awaken the team spirit in me! :P

Second, can I take the pictures on here [http://toys.qee.jp/menu.htm] and upload them on [[Pokémon Kids|here]]? Knowing that the images already there come from there as well, I'm not too familiar with the copyrights and such, so I preferred asking first! :P [[User:MannedTooth| MannedTooth ]] ([[User_Talk:MannedTooth|Talk]]) 06:32, 17 February 2016 (UTC)
:Glad you enjoyed it. I hope it inspires others as well.
:As for the site you've liked to, it appears to be a collector's personal page. In order to use the images from their website, you would need to obtain permission from the website owner to use their images on Bulbapedia and provide the permission to me to confirm its authenticity. Without the site owner's permission, they may not be used. - [[User:Kogoro|'''Kogoro''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''Talk to me''']] - 06:11, 20 February 2016 (UTC)
::The problem is that, it's in japanese, and all I can really do is use google translate so.. But for the other pictures already used? They come from the same source. [[User:MannedTooth| MannedTooth ]] ([[User_Talk:MannedTooth|Talk]]) 06:31, 20 February 2016 (UTC)
:::You can always ask the individual who added those images as to whether they are the original owner of the images, or if they got permission from the original owner. - [[User:Kogoro|'''Kogoro''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''Talk to me''']] - 06:39, 20 February 2016 (UTC)

== Your Template (2) ==

My apologies for the late reply- [http://i.imgur.com/1VuTPRk.png |I mean these]. It won't be the same gif of course, I'd like to get or make a Pokemon gif for that.

Also about the pink boarder around, is it possible to make one with an image (e.g. --> [[File:Trainer Customization artwork.png|thumb|250px|this one]])? Just a question.-- --[[User:Handmaiden 101|Handmaiden 101]] ''([[User talk:Handmaiden 101|tAlk]])'' 23:38, 17 February 2016 (UTC)
:Sure, you're more than welcome to use the templates. I'll give you a list of the templates for easy use:
:#[[User:Kogoro/Template/TOC]] - The box that contains the Espeon gif and table of contents on this talk page. Yes, other images can be used in it. (You can see how it's used by viewing the source code of this talk page.)
:#[[User:Kogoro/Template/TrainerCard]] - As the name suggests, is the Trainer Card. It will work for Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh, and Unova titles. It has not been updated for Kalos yet. (You can see how to use it by checking the source code of my {{u|Kogoro/Party|parties page}}.)
:#[[User:Kogoro/Template/Partybox]] - The box that surrounds the parties. Instructions are on the template itself.
:#[[User:Kogoro/Template/Pokébox2]] - The individual small Pokémon boxes. Instructions are linked to on the template itself.
:The infobox that is present on my user page isn't a template, but you're welcome to use the code by copying it off the source code of my user page. Please be sure to credit back to me, with a link to my user page, either in the edit summary or on your user page, and follow the {{bp|userspace policy}}. - [[User:Kogoro|'''Kogoro''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''Talk to me''']] - 06:11, 20 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?

== 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.

== [[Special:AbuseFilter/3]] ==

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)

:As for using names from the Russian Pokémon Handbook, that would be fine for species that have yet to receive a 100% official name from the Russian TCG.

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.

== 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.

Hey, Kogoro. I see that you have taken a bit of interest in my edits to the list.

I was wondering if you would double-check to see if there was anything you felt should be added, removed, or altered. Additionally, would you be willing to check the glitches with more than three videos and determine if any or all of them should be removed?

== 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)

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?

== 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~

::@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.

:::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 need help in editing==

sorry kogoro but i had to use this comment to get your connection because i'm not very good at editing. how do you get a bullet point inside a paragraph so that it contains a sentence but does not begin another. if you want to know i used (or tried) to do it at the page Bill of bulbapedia thank you eeveelutionred 6:11pm AEST 7/01/2017 [[User:Eeveelutionred|Eeveelutionred]] ([[User talk:Eeveelutionred|talk]]) 07:11, 7 January 2017 (UTC)
:To indent a bullet point, add an additional asterisk ( <code>*</code> ) at the beginning of the point. Each additional asterisk will add another layer of indentation:
* Point 1
** Sub-Point 1
* Point 2
:I hope that helps. Additionally, please remember to put new sections at the bottom of talk pages, rather than injecting them somewhere in the middle. - [[User:Kogoro|'''Kogoro''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''Talk to me''']] - 07:21, 7 January 2017 (UTC)

== Username change request? ==

I was informed that the thing to do to change a username is to ask a member of the Editorial Board, so, here is that inquiry. 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)
:I noticed you changed it. Thanks a ton! --[[User:Xolroc|Felthry]] (F.K.A. Xolroc) ([[User talk:Xolroc|talk]]) 04:16, 24 January 2017 (UTC)

== Mobile display error ==

Hello, just wanted to tell you about a problem happening when viewing Bulbapedia on my phone, and that is when a table is wider then my screen it just cuts off the far right part instead of letting me scroll further right like it used to. Here's an image for visual reference [http://imgur.com/gallery/WuOOJKi]. I have a Samsung Galaxy S7, using chrome. --[[User:Raltseye|Raltseye]] [[User talk:Raltseye|prata med mej]] 08:26, 14 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. If you were to merge your talk archives together, you would be breaking the edit histories. - [[User:Kogoro|'''Kogoro''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''Talk to me''']] - 02:50, 10 April 2017 (UTC)

== Tabs ==

Is it possible to do tabs for infoboxes (such as on some Wikia pages, like [http://theamazingworldofgumball.wikia.com/wiki/Gumball_Watterson]) without MediaWiki extensions? I had an idea that I'd test out in my userspace. --[[User:Celadonkey|Celad]][[User_talk:Celadonkey|onkey]] 20:38, 12 March 2017 (UTC)
:As far as I am aware, tabs like that require specific Javascript coding installed in the wiki's [[MediaWiki:Common.js|common.js]] page. Since the staff considered, and decided against, using such tabs several years back, we do not have the needed Javascript on site. - [[User:Kogoro|'''Kogoro''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''Talk to me''']] - 02:50, 10 April 2017 (UTC)
::Ok, cool. I don't think I need them anymore anyway. Thanks. --[[User:Celadonkey|Celad]][[User_talk:Celadonkey|onkey]] 11:59, 10 April 2017 (UTC)

== 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)
:We're looking into whether this idea would be ultimately useful. I'll let you know when we have a decision. - [[User:Kogoro|'''Kogoro''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''Talk to me''']] - 02:50, 10 April 2017 (UTC)

== Top contributors ==

Hi I'm sorry to bother you about something so trivial but I'm confused about the page [[Bulbapedia:Top contributors]]. I keep track of how many edits I do and I know that I had about 15,000 edits by the start of April. I thought that I would be on the list this time but do not see my username there, despite being higher than the 20th spot. Is there something I'm missing with this process?--[[User:Rahl|Rahl]] ([[User talk:Rahl|talk]]) 00:56, 10 April 2017 (UTC)
:The top contributors & top contributors of the month pages only count mainspace edits that are made to actual articles.

==Underleveled page==

Hi Kogoro,
Can you please clarify why you deleted the Underleveled Pokemon page? The user page User:Nikuriku/Underleveled Pokemon cannot be used collaboratively, and the content is currently not compiled anywhere else.

== 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).

Thanks. [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 22:00, 2 July 2017 (UTC)

:So what? [[User:Unowninator|¿¡Unowninator?!]] ([[User talk:Unowninator|talk]]) 20:59, 11 July 2017 (UTC)

== Another user page to be deleted ==

[[https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/User:Pool%27s_Closed]]

Can you delete the above userpage? Apart from the {{User Mudkip}} template, it is just gobbledygook. --[[User:Marshtompert|Marshtompert]] ([[User talk:Marshtompert|talk]]) 16:15, 16 July 2017 (UTC)

== 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)

I'm not a sockpuppet. Just someone who's read Bulbapedia a lot. I don't even know who {{u|Spyspotter}} is.

[[File:Old woman Alola.png|thumb|250px|The old lady]]
An '''old lady''' from [[Melemele Island]] is a minor recurring character. She is a friend of [[Ash's Litten]] and runs a stall in the [[Hau'oli City]] marketplace.

She first appeared in ''[[SM004|First Catch in Alola, Ketchum-Style!]]'' where she provided {{p|Litten}} some [[Berry|Berries]]. After spotting a flock of {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Pikipek}}, {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Trumbeak}} and {{AP|Rowlet}} fly overhead, she explained to Litten that this happens every year where they come to collect food which they willingly give.

She reappeared in ''[[SM007|That's Why the Litten is a Scamp!‬]]'' where she provided Litten with some more berries and explained to {{Ash}} and [[Professor Kukui]] that Litten does this every day.

She reappeared in ''[[SM021|One Journey Ends, Another Begins...]]'' where she picked up a doughnut that had fallen out of Ash's bag. She went to give it back to Ash only for Litten to grab it and run off.

She appeared again in ''[[SM024|Alolan Open House!]]'', where she attended the Visitors Day at the [[Pokémon School]] where she was reunited with Litten.

She appeared again in [[SM030]], where she gave Litten some [[Sitrus Berry|Sitrus Berries]] along with {{AP|Rockruff}}, Rowlet, and [[Snowy]].

'''Ash's Litten''' (Japanese: '''サトシのニャビー''' ''Satoshi's Nyabby'') is the third {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that {{Ash}} {{pkmn2|caught}} in the [[Alola]] [[region]].

==History==
===As a wild Pokémon===
In the past, Litten was rescued by an aging {{pkmn2|wild}} {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Stoutland}}, and the two began to live together. However, the Stoutland soon became too old to search for food by itself, leaving Litten to do the gathering.
[[File:Stoutland and Litten.png|thumb|left|250px|Litten and Stoutland]]
Litten first appeared in ''[[SM001|Alola to New Adventure!]]'', relaxing on the beaches of [[Melemele Island]] before it was accidentally stepped on by {{Ash}} when he was racing with {{AP|Pikachu}}. Litten, in anger, attacked Ash with {{m|Ember}} and walked off.
Litten briefly appeared in ''[[SM003|Loading the Dex!]]'' in which it approached the [[Pokémon School]] and watched {{DL|Samson Oak|Komala}}. Litten was later seen in ''[[SM004|First Catch in Alola, Ketchum-Style!]]'', being fed by an {{al|old lady}} in a marketplace on the beach, where it saw a wild {{AP|Rowlet}} carrying off a wind chime.

In ''[[SM007|That's Why the Litten is a Scamp!]]'', Litten approached Ash and Pikachu in an attempt to get something to eat. When Ash offered it a piece of the sandwich, it stole the larger portion and ran off, only to be stopped and foiled by an {{alo|Persian}}. Annoyed by Litten's trickery, Ash promised to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} it. The next day, Ash and Pikachu saw Litten being attacked by the previous Alolan Persian and stopped it. Litten, despite being on the verge of collapse, protested against being brought to the [[Pokémon Center]], biting and scratching Ash all the way there. After being treated, Ash brought it to [[Professor Kukui]]'s house, but it managed to escape in the middle of the night. Ash, Pikachu, and [[Rotom Pokédex|Rotom]] followed Litten to an abandoned house, where they discovered that Litten had been gathering food for an old Stoutland. Having learned this, Ash decided to give up on capturing Litten, leaving it to care for its caretaker. Suddenly, the group was attacked by the Alolan Persian from earlier. Ash had everyone leave the house, where Pikachu and Litten then started battling the Persian. Litten eventually defeated Persian, and successfully protected Stoutland. The next day, Ash discovered that Litten and Stoutland had relocated. After being assured by the old lady of the marketplace that Litten was doing fine, Litten appeared from behind her to grab the fruit she had prepared and ran off into the distance.

Litten reappeared in ''[[SM016|They Might Not Be Giants!]]'' when Ash's Rowlet and [[Lana's Popplio]] got separated from their {{pkmn|Trainer}}s and fought {{MTR}} off when he tried to catch them. It took them to Stoutland, who told Litten to go and help Rowlet and Popplio get back to their Trainers. During their search, the trio got caught by {{TRT}}. However, they managed to escape thanks to Litten and blasted Team Rocket off with their combined attacks. After Rowlet and Popplio were reunited with their Trainers, Litten ran off again.
[[File:Ash and Litten.png|thumb|250px|Litten and Ash]]
In ''[[SM021|One Journey Ends, Another Begins...]]'', Litten stole a donut Ash dropped and was chased back to its home by him. Ash witnessed how Stoutland helped it learn {{m|Fire Fang}}, but Litten was unsuccessful to master the move. Later on, Litten ran up to Ash, desperate for help with a collapsed Stoutland. After escaping Team Rocket, Ash was brought to its home and carried Stoutland to the Pokémon Center. Litten ran into the emergency room to be its friend while [[Nurse Joy]] informed Ash of Stoutland's condition. When Ash returned to the center the next day to check on Litten and Stoutland, he was shocked to see they had left. At its home, Litten practised its Fire Fang again, but failed once more. Displeased with having the same results as its previous attempt, Litten curled up into Stoutland and fell asleep, proceeding to have a dream where it chased after Stoutland and was unable to catch up. Litten soon woke up alone and immediately flew into panic again, searching over various parts of Melemele Island for Stoutland.

Upon returning home, one of the supports of the sofa the two Pokémon had been sleeping on broke as a tree shed its last leaf and a massive storm whipped up over Melemele. Wracked with grief, Litten looked up to the sky and started yowling. Ash and his Pokémon later found Litten asleep on the sofa, curled up next to the tree's leaf, and kept visiting it to comfort the Fire Cat Pokémon. While the others were still sleeping next to the sofa, Litten woke up as the rain stopped saw a cloud formation shaped like Stoutland behind a rainbow, seemingly smiling in approval. Gathered with resolve, Litten offered Ash a [[Sitrus Berry]]. Afterwards, Litten agreed to battle Ash and Pikachu, and was able to successfully execute Fire Fang. After the battle, Litten allowed Ash to catch it, the Trainer having finally gained its trust. When sent out again, Litten happily joined in with the rest of Ash's Pokémon when he poured out the rest of the berries in his shopping bag.

===With Ash===
In ''[[SM022|A Shivering Shovel Search!]]'', Litten was seen training with [[Kiawe's Turtonator]] to master Fire Fang, but was still unsuccessful to master the move. Later, when Ash was stuck inside of an enraged {{p|Palossand}}'s body, Litten got caught in its body as well when protecting {{AP|Rockruff}}. Palossand then began absorbing Litten's life force, causing it to be unable to leave Palossand's body. Thanks to everyone's combined effort, [[Snowy]] was able to {{status|freeze}} Palossand with {{m|Powder Snow}}, stopping it from absorbing life force. Litten then managed to master Fire Fang and used it to break free from Palossand's body. Afterwards, Litten and Ash returned Palossand's lost shovel, calming the Sand Castle Pokémon down.

In ''[[SM024|Alolan Open House!]]'', {{Delia}} visited her son and took a liking to Litten. At first, her sudden approach made Litten freak out, but once she started petting it, Litten got more comfortable. Delia later used Litten in a battle against [[Tupper]], [[Zip]], and {{al|Wrap}} of [[Team Skull]], who were attacking the Pokémon School.

==Personality and characteristics==
[[File:Litten fiery disposition.png|thumb|left|250px|Litten showing off its fiery disposition]]
Before being [[Caught Pokémon|captured]] by Ash, Litten was a stubborn Pokémon that tended to keep its emotions and motives hidden. Its closest friend was an old {{p|Stoutland}} that once helped it when it had lost consciousness. Litten was seen training itself with Stoutland's guidance, and protected and cared for Stoutland in its ailing state. Litten had a very close relationship with Stoutland, and deeply cared for it, as evidenced by Litten's dreams about it. Litten had difficulty getting close to humans, but seemed to get along well with the {{Al|old lady}} of the marketplace. When Litten was wild, it would often visit her when it needed food.

Its first encounter with Ash did not go over so well. When he accidentally stepped on Litten's tail while running along the beach, it responded by burning his face with {{m|Ember}}. Encounters with Litten after that were unpleasant for Ash as well, as Litten had a tendency to attack him or steal his food, showing off cunning and slick characteristics to its enigmatic personality. When Stoutland thought it would be a good idea for Litten to join Ash, Litten wasn't keen on the idea. When Stoutland collapsed due to ill health, Litten's demeanor toward Ash began to change, and it was desperate for him to help it. After Litten accepted Stoutland's absence, it began trying to offer its food to Ash like it had done with Stoutland. Despite their growing relationship and mutual trust, Litten still shows a tendency to burn Ash in the face even after befriending him; though now it seems to be done mostly as a sign of affection toward him, much like {{AP|Charizard}} before it.

Since its capture, it has shown to be reflecting its solicitous nature over Stoutland on its new teammates. This was showcased in ''[[SM022|A Shivering Shovel Search!]]'', when it protected {{AP|Rockruff}} from being eaten by an angry {{p|Palossand}} and has even shown to be fine with Rockruff sleeping next to itself, despite putting the fact that it did not want to play with it earlier. This shows Litten is willing to open up to its new family despite its innately frisky nature. Litten is cold and apathetic towards strangers, as shown in ''[[SM024|Alolan Open House!]]'' when it was introduced to its Trainer's {{Delia|mother}}, but can't resist being stroked gently under its chin.

Since its capture, Litten has grown to its trainer and helps fellow Pokémon as shown in [[SM030]], where it helped [[Snowy]] warm up towards Ash and even offered Snowy a [[Sitrus Berry]].

When Ash offered it a piece of the sandwich, it stole the larger portion and ran off, only to be stopped and foiled by an {{alo|Persian}}. Annoyed by Litten's trickery, Ash promised to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} it. The next day, Ash and Pikachu saw Litten being attacked by the previous Alolan Persian and stopped it. Litten, despite being on the verge of collapse, protested against being brought to the [[Pokémon Center]], biting and scratching Ash all the way there. After being treated, Ash brought it to [[Professor Kukui]]'s house, but it managed to escape in the middle of the night. Ash, Pikachu, and [[Rotom Pokédex|Rotom]] followed Litten to an abandoned house, where they discovered that Litten had been gathering food for an old Stoutland. Having learned this, Ash decided to give up on capturing Litten, leaving it to care for its caretaker. Suddenly, the group was attacked by the Alolan Persian from earlier. Ash had everyone leave the house, where Pikachu and Litten then started battling the Persian. Litten eventually defeated Persian, and successfully protected Stoutland. The next day, Ash discovered that Litten and Stoutland had relocated. After being assured by the old lady of the marketplace that Litten was doing fine, Litten appeared from behind her to grab the fruit she had prepared and ran off into the distance.

Litten reappeared in ''[[SM016|They Might Not Be Giants!]]'' when Ash's Rowlet and [[Lana's Popplio]] got separated from their {{pkmn|Trainer}}s and fought {{MTR}} off when he tried to catch them. It took them to Stoutland, who told Litten to go and help Rowlet and Popplio get back to their Trainers. During their search, the trio got caught by {{TRT}}. However, they managed to escape thanks to Litten and blasted Team Rocket off with their combined attacks. After Rowlet and Popplio were reunited with their Trainers, Litten ran off again.
[[File:Ash and Litten.png|thumb|250px|Litten and Ash]]
In ''[[SM021|One Journey Ends, Another Begins...]]'', Litten stole a donut Ash dropped and was chased back to its home by him. Ash witnessed how Stoutland helped it learn {{m|Fire Fang}}, but Litten was unsuccessful to master the move. Later on, Litten ran up to Ash, desperate for help with a collapsed Stoutland. After escaping Team Rocket, Ash was brought to its home and carried Stoutland to the Pokémon Center. Litten ran into the emergency room to be its friend while [[Nurse Joy]] informed Ash of Stoutland's condition. When Ash returned to the center the next day to check on Litten and Stoutland, he was shocked to see they had left. At its home, Litten practised its Fire Fang again, but failed once more. Displeased with having the same results as its previous attempt, Litten curled up into Stoutland and fell asleep, proceeding to have a dream where it chased after Stoutland and was unable to catch up. Litten soon woke up alone and immediately flew into panic again, searching over various parts of Melemele Island for Stoutland.

Upon returning home, one of the supports of the sofa the two Pokémon had been sleeping on broke as a tree shed its last leaf and a massive storm whipped up over Melemele. Wracked with grief, Litten looked up to the sky and started yowling. Ash and his Pokémon later found Litten asleep on the sofa, curled up next to the tree's leaf, and kept visiting it to comfort the Fire Cat Pokémon. While the others were still sleeping next to the sofa, Litten woke up as the rain stopped saw a cloud formation shaped like Stoutland behind a rainbow, seemingly smiling in approval. Gathered with resolve, Litten offered Ash a [[Sitrus Berry]]. Afterwards, Litten agreed to battle Ash and Pikachu, and was able to successfully execute Fire Fang. After the battle, Litten allowed Ash to catch it, the Trainer having finally gained its trust. When sent out again, Litten happily joined in with the rest of Ash's Pokémon when he poured out the rest of the berries in his shopping bag.

===With Ash===
In ''[[SM022|A Shivering Shovel Search!]]'', Litten was seen training with [[Kiawe's Turtonator]] to master Fire Fang, but was still unsuccessful to master the move. Later, when Ash was stuck inside of an enraged {{p|Palossand}}'s body, Litten got caught in its body as well when protecting {{AP|Rockruff}}. Palossand then began absorbing Litten's life force, causing it to be unable to leave Palossand's body. Thanks to everyone's combined effort, [[Snowy]] was able to {{status|freeze}} Palossand with {{m|Powder Snow}}, stopping it from absorbing life force. Litten then managed to master Fire Fang and used it to break free from Palossand's body. Afterwards, Litten and Ash returned Palossand's lost shovel, calming the Sand Castle Pokémon down.

In ''[[SM024|Alolan Open House!]]'', {{Delia}} visited her son and took a liking to Litten. At first, her sudden approach made Litten freak out, but once she started petting it, Litten got more comfortable. Delia later used Litten in a battle against [[Tupper]], [[Zip]], and {{al|Wrap}} of [[Team Skull]], who were attacking the Pokémon School.

==Personality and characteristics==
[[File:Litten fiery disposition.png|thumb|left|250px|Litten showing off its fiery disposition]]
Before being [[Caught Pokémon|captured]] by Ash, Litten was a stubborn Pokémon that tended to keep its emotions and motives hidden. Its closest friend was an old {{p|Stoutland}} that once helped it when it had lost consciousness. Litten was seen training itself with Stoutland's guidance, and protected and cared for Stoutland in its ailing state. Litten had a very close relationship with Stoutland, and deeply cared for it, as evidenced by Litten's dreams about it. Litten had difficulty getting close to humans, but seemed to get along well with the {{Al|old woman}} of the marketplace. When Litten was wild, it would often visit her when it needed food.

Its first encounter with Ash did not go over so well. When he accidentally stepped on Litten's tail while running along the beach, it responded by burning his face with {{m|Ember}}. Encounters with Litten after that were unpleasant for Ash as well, as Litten had a tendency to attack him or steal his food, showing off cunning and slick characteristics to its enigmatic personality. When Stoutland thought it would be a good idea for Litten to join Ash, Litten wasn't keen on the idea. When Stoutland collapsed due to ill health, Litten's demeanor toward Ash began to change, and it was desperate for him to help it. After Litten accepted Stoutland's absence, it began trying to offer its food to Ash like it had done with Stoutland. Despite their growing relationship and mutual trust, Litten still shows a tendency to burn Ash in the face even after befriending him; though now it seems to be done mostly as a sign of affection toward him, much like {{AP|Charizard}} before it.

Since its capture, it has shown to be reflecting its solicitous nature over Stoutland on its new teammates. This was showcased in ''[[SM022|A Shivering Shovel Search!]]'', when it protected {{AP|Rockruff}} from being eaten by an angry {{p|Palossand}} and has even shown to be fine with Rockruff sleeping next to itself, despite putting the fact that it did not want to play with it earlier. This shows Litten is willing to open up to its new family despite its innately frisky nature. Litten is cold and apathetic towards strangers, as shown in ''[[SM024|Alolan Open House!]]'' when it was introduced to its Trainer's {{Delia|mother}}, but can't resist being stroked gently under its chin.

Since its capture, Litten has grown to its trainer and helps fellow Pokémon as shown in [[SM030]], where it helped [[Snowy]] warm up towards Ash and even offered Snowy a [[Sitrus Berry]].

==Blurb==

On the road following Ash’s victorious Gym Battle against Gym Leader Skyla, our heroes run into their old friend Stephan, who tells them about the Wishing Bell Festival, a competition where teams of Trainers and Pokémon compete for the opportunity to climb Mistralton Tower and ring the Wishing Bell. The story goes that whoever rings the bell will have all their wishes come true.

Our heroes happily discover that Skyla’s grandfather, their friend Miles, runs the festival. Many Trainers and their Pokémon are competing in the challenge, but the field is eventually narrowed down to Ash and Pikachu versus Stephan and Sawk. With one final heroic push, Stephan and Sawk are declared the winners!

After Stephan rings the bell and makes his wish, Iris asks him what he wished for. His reply? “I wished everyone would pronounce my name right....” But he also wished he could win the upcoming Clubsplosion Battle Competition, sponsored by the Pokémon Battle Club and Don George!

==Plot==
On their way to [[Icirrus City]], {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} notice the [[Mistralton Tower]] and [[Stephan]] runs into them. {{an|Cilan}} asks Stephan whether he was heading to {{ci|Mistralton}} City for a Gym battle and Stephan says that he has come for the Wishing Bell Festival that is held at the Mistralton Tower. Stephan explains that during the festival they have to clear various obstacles and the first person to reach the top of the tower wins. By winning the competition, the winner rings the Wishing Bell to make a wish that is guaranteed to come true. Cilan has doubts that just ringing a bell guarantees that a wish will come true. Everyone decides to enter the competition.

Stephan explains that they have to choose a partner Pokémon to help them in the competition. Cilan chooses {{TP|Cilan|Pansage}}, {{an|Iris}} chooses {{TP|Iris|Axew}}, and Stephan chooses {{TP|Stephan|Sawk}} to be their partners. Ash mentions that it has been awhile since he has last seen Sawk and scans him with his Pokédex. {{an|Miles}} arrives and asks everyone whether they are participating in the competition. Stephan mentions that Miles is the host of the festival. Iris and Cilan explain to Stephan that Miles is the former {{gy|Mistralton}} Gym Leader, and the grandfather of the current Gym Leader [[Skyla]]. Miles explains to all of the competitors what the goal is of the competition. He explains that the first contest is a true/false quiz, where the competitors who think the answer is true move to the sign with the circle on it, and the competitors who think the answer is false move to the sign with a cross on it. The first question is whether a {{type|Fire}}, {{type|Grass}}, and {{type|Rock}} are the types of the starter Pokémon that beginning Trainers may choose to start their journey. Cilan believes the question is very easy, but Stephan on the other hand believes that the answer is true and must be corrected by Cilan and Iris. The correct answer is false and only a few competitors get the answer wrong. Miles explains that {{t|Water}}, Fire, and Grass are the types to choose from for beginning Trainers. Stephan brags that nobody would get the question wrong, but Iris corrects him and says that he almost got the question wrong. The second question is whether you may eat {{ci|Castelia}} Ice Cream on Tuesdays. Ash recalls that they tried to get Castelia Ice Cream but the shop was closed the day they went. Stephan guesses that the answer is Wednesdays, but he was only guessing and doesn't really know. Cilan in a long explanation states that as a connoisseur he always remember and that the answer is Tuesdays. Iris tells Cilan that the long explanation was not necessary. They decide that the answer is true and move to the sign with a circle on it. Only half of the remaining competitors get the answer correct. The final question is whether Miles prefers [[Officer Jenny]] over [[Nurse Joy]]. Ash and his friends are stumped as to what the answer could be. [[Ricky]], who claims to be a {{tc|Psychic}} tells everyone that he knows the answer because he is a psychic. Ash scans {{p|Elgyem}} with his Pokédex. Ricky demonstrates his psychic powers by guessing that Ash is a Pokémon Trainer which Iris is skeptical that it demonstrates his powers because anyone could figure out that Ash is a Pokémon Trainer. Miles announces that there is only ten seconds left to answer, so everyone decides to let Ricky tell them the answer. Ricky uses his psychic powers and determines that Officer Jenny is the answer which would mean that the answer is true. Before Miles could reveal the answer, Elgyem uses its powers to change Miles's mind about what the answer is while Cilan notices what happened. Miles tells everyone that the answer is true, and only a few competitors answer the question correctly. Ricky again claims that it proves he is a psychic, but Iris says that it was probably a coincidence since it was a 50 percent chance of being correct.

Miles explains to everyone that the next contest is a scavenger hunt where the competitors must choose a random piece of paper that is on the ground, locate the item listed, and deliver it to the staff members at the goal within five minutes. Ash must find a [[Thunder Stone|Thunderstone]], Iris a [[Super Rod]], Cilan a [[Wonder Launcher]], Stephan a [[Black Belt]], and Ricky a [[TwistedSpoon]]. Iris asks Cilan for his Super Rod and Cilan gives a long speech about the rod before handing it to Iris. Stephan attempts to borrow Sawk's Black Belt, but Sawk runs away from him. Ricky was able to obtain a spoon easily and bends it with Elgyem's help even though he says that he is using psychic powers to do so. While asking people if they have a Thunderstone, someone says to Ash that he has one and tosses it at Pikachu. Ash catches the Thunderstone before it can make contact and [[evolution|evolve]] Pikachu. With one minute left, Ash and his friends make it to the staff members prior to the time expiring. A few other competitors made it in time as well with a [[Fire Gem]], a [[Repel]], and a melting ice which was supposed to be a [[NeverMeltIce]] instead.

Miles explains that the next contest is for competitors and their Pokémon to get into a tub in the lake, and make their way to the goal with the help of their Pokémon. He explains that only the first five competitors may make it to the next contest. Cilan has Pansage paddle like he is using {{m|Dig}} to help them keep moving. Ash has Pikachu use his tail like a paddle and propel them forward. Iris has Axew use {{m|Dragon Rage}} to help them keep moving. Elgyem uses {{m|Psychic}} while Ricky uses his psychic powers to move them to the goal in first place. Cilan reaches the goal in second place, Ash in third place, and Iris in fourth place. With only one spot remaining, Stephan and Sawk jump out of the tub to use {{m|Low Sweep}} and propel all the way to the goal in fifth place.

Miles explains that the next contest is the imitation competition where the competitors must use wigs and costumes to dress up and disguise themselves as the well-known person they are given within ten minutes. Ash and Pikachu must dress up as [[Alder]] and {{p|Bouffalant}}, Iris and Axew must dress up as [[Professor Juniper]] and {{p|Darumaka}}, Cilan and Pansage must dress up as [[Elesa]] and {{p|Emolga}}, Stephan and Sawk must dress up as Nurse Joy and {{p|Audino}}, and Ricky and Elgyem must dress up as Officer Jenny and {{p|Herdier}}. Everyone has no trouble finding the wigs and costumes that they need to dress up. In their disguises, Ash and Pikachu look very close to Alder and Bouffalant. Ash recites that one must enjoy life, laughs, and Pikachu imitates a Bouffalant. Miles lets them pass on to the next contest. Iris and Darumaka look very close to Professor Juniper and Darumaka. Iris says "oh my oh my" in her Juniper voice, while Axew imitates Darumaka in its immovable position. Miles lets them pass on to the next contest. Stephan and Sawk look very scary in their Nurse Joy and Audino costumes. Stephan says "welcome to the Pokémon Center", while Sawk imitates Audino. Miles tells them that they narrowly pass to the next contest. Ricky and Elgyem don't dress up at all and use Psychic powers to make Miles think they are dressed up as Officer Jenny and Herdier. Miles lets them pass on to the next contest. Cilan and Pansage look good dressed up as Elesa and Emolga. Cilan recites one of Elesa's lines, and Pansage floats around to act like Emolga. They have to try again two more times because Miles says that they are doing it wrong. Time runs out and Miles refuses to let them pass on to the next contest, explaining that he is really picky about Elesa since he is a big fan of hers.

Miles explains that the next contest is a race through a forest that is full of different trials, with Pokémon that are ready to attack invaders and that only three competitors may move on to the next contest. A {{p|Lampent}} attacks everyone with {{m|Inferno}}. A female {{p|Frillish}} then attacks Ricky with {{m|Hydro Pump}} after coming out of a lake. Elgyem uses {{m|Psybeam}} to deflect the attack. {{p|Chandelure}} attacks Iris with Inferno to knock her off of a swinging vine. Iris tries to run away but Chandelure uses {{m|Confuse Ray}} to {{status|confuse}} her. Iris thinks that she won the race and begins to celebrate. Ricky arrives at the goal in first place, and Ash and Stephan arrive at the same time for second and third place. They look over to see that Iris is still celebrating a win while surrounded by Chandelure, a few {{p|Patrat}}, and a few {{p|Watchog}} when she really failed to make it to the next contest.

Miles explains that the final contest of the festival is a race to the top of the Mistralton Tower. Competitors must bring lit candles that look like {{p|Litwick}} with them to the top without the flame going out while avoiding attacks by various Pokémon in the tower, and the first competitor to reach the top wins. Miles advises them to hurry while being slow and careful. A few male Frillish attack everyone with Water Gun and miss their flames. As they are going further up the stairs, they start to become very tired. Some female and male Frillish use {{m|Ice Beam}} to freeze the stairs to make it more difficult for the competitors to keep going. Elgyem uses Psychic to help Ricky avoid the slippery stairs to reach the top. Everyone else slowly and carefully moves up the slippery stairs.

Once they reach the roof, Miles explains {{p|Pidove}} are the last obstacle to reach the finish line. The Pidove use {{m|Gust}} to try to blow away their candles. Ash covers up the flame, Stephan uses Sawk to protect the flame, and Ricky has Elgyem use {{m|Light Screen}} to block the Pidove's attacks. The Pidove use {{m|Air Slash}} and eventually break through the Light Screen and extinguish the flame on Ricky's candle. Ash and Stephan race to the finish line while Pikachu and Sawk block the Pidove's attacks. The candle that Stephan is holding extinguishes Ash's flame which allows Stephan to win the race. Stephan is announced as the winner, but Miles calls him "Sherman". A real Litwick is revealed to be what Stephan was racing with the whole time. Stephan rings the bell to make a wish.

Ash and his friends congratulate Stephan on his win and ask what he wished for. Stephan tells them that his wishes were for everyone to say his name the right way and to win the [[Clubsplosion]], and explains that the Clubsplosion is a battle tournament hosted by [[Don George]] of the [[Battle Club]].

* [[Professor Oak's Pokémon Live Caster]]: {{p|Chandelure}}
* Before the characters dressed up, in the clothes box, {{an|Brock}}'s green vest from his original appearance, {{an|Dawn}}'s hat (along with a Dawn wig), a [[Nurse Joy]] wig, [[James]]'s pants, an R-less Team Rocket shirt that [[Jessie]] owns, and Team Rocket gloves can be seen.

* After the first question was solved, Patrat's stripe near its right eye is colored the same way as its mouth. This error repeats again, but this time is colored the same way like its ears.
* When everyone is on the start line, Watchog's paw is completely brown.
* Right when Pansage starts to paddle his and Cilan's boat, the inside of his ears are the same color as his skin rather than being green.
* When Cilan is once again thinking about Elesa's imitation, the scene from ''[[BW050|Dazzling the Nimbasa Gym!]]'', Elesa's headphone on her head is colored the same way as her blonde hair.
* After {{p|Litwick}} blows out {{Ash}}'s candle, it faces forward and closes its eyes. However, in the next scene when Ash realizes his candle was blown out, Litwick is still facing towards Ash and doesn't face forward until after Stephan crosses the finish line.
