== Template ==
The template says it only lasts for 3 days, why is this? [[User:Gliscorguy54|Gliscorguy54]] 15:50, 5 December 2010 (UTC)
: Will someone please answer me? [[User:Gliscorguy54|Gliscorguy54]] 16:35, 5 December 2010 (UTC)
::You can only have the template up for 3 days. It wouldn't be fair to keep the page reserved for a whole month. So, choose wisely and only place the template when you are sure you have 3 days to complete your entry. —♥ [[User:Jello|Jello]][[User Talk:Jello|talk]] 18:35, 5 December 2010 (UTC)
:::A question, what happens if you finish in a day (or less)? does this mean we can't edit another until the days are up? [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] 03:31, 8 December 2010 (UTC)
::::The time is most just a frame at which you should finish, as to be courteous to other who may want to do the page. Feel free to do more if you have lready finished one. The time mostly gives a stronger personal deadline on how ling it should take you to finish your edit. ''[[User:Maverick Nate|'''Maverick''']][[User talk:Maverick Nate|'''Nate''']]'' 03:40, 8 December 2010 (UTC)

== Multiple entries ==

I read the page backwards and forwards, and I just wanted to make sure: ''can we have more than one entry?'' I'd like to get confirmation before I go off and work on all {{NUMBEROFARTICLES}} of the articles and submit every single one of the diffs. Thanks. '''chief[[User:Chiefboz|boz]]''' ''(my [[User talk:Chiefboz|talk]] and [[Special:Contributions/Chiefboz|contributions]])'' 23:37, 5 December 2010 (UTC)
:You are allowed to have multiple entries, but only one of them can actually win. This also means that you can only reserve one page at a time. —♥ [[User:Jello|Jello]][[User Talk:Jello|talk]] 23:42, 5 December 2010 (UTC)

== Different Country ==

Hi. Just wondering, can people from other countries enter? I live in Australia so I'm not sure what would happen if I, somehow, won. Sorry if this was mentioned on the page already! --[[User:Rankurusu|Rankurusu]] 05:25, 6 December 2010 (UTC)
:If you win then the prize will be shipped to Australia. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 05:34, 6 December 2010 (UTC)
::Wow! Sounds awesome! Thanks for giving me the answer! --[[User:Rankurusu|Rankurusu]] 06:49, 6 December 2010 (UTC)

== Creating pages ==

Does the contest apply to creating pages, or turning redirects into pages (specifically the status ailment pages)? --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 10:12, 6 December 2010 (UTC)
:It applies to any edit. If you wanted to turn the Paralysis redirect into a page (for example), then it would certainly be considered. Just a note for people reading this though, pages which redirect because they are considered not notable will be turned back into redirects. So don't bother trying to enter a page like [[Rudy's Starmie]]. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 18:10, 6 December 2010 (UTC)

==Size of Edit==

:Im still kinda new to the whole editing deal, although I have typed up some synopsis for episodes before I haven't really edited an entire page in order to make it complete. So I was wondering how much change would I have to make to a page in order to be considered. And also how would I go about submitting an edited page.--[[User:Terry08|Terry08]] 10:15, 6 December 2010 (UTC)
::Any entry will be considered, but the more you can improve the page, the more likely you are to win. To submit your page, go to the page and click on the history tab at the top. Click the radio button on the left for the last edit by someone else before you started, and the radio button on the right for your last edit. Then click the "Compare selected revisions" button. That will take you to what's called a "diff", showing you everything that has been changed on the page during those edits. Copy the URL and follow the instructions at the top of [[Bulbapedia:Christmas Improvement Drive/contestants|this page]]. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 17:59, 6 December 2010 (UTC)

== Walkthroughs ==

I'm considering revamping a walkthrough for my entry. How should I go about doing this? Should I submit just the main page or all of the section pages? --[[User:EricDLee|EricDLee]] 00:43, 8 December 2010 (UTC)
:You should be submitting a "diff". You can obtain a "diff" by going to the history of the article and choosing your revision and the previous revision, and then clicking "Compare revision". After that, you copy the URL of that "diff" and submit that. —♥ [[User:Jello|Jello]][[User Talk:Jello|talk]] 01:00, 8 December 2010 (UTC)
::I was wondering if a walkthrough diff counts as one sumbission, or if I should submit individual diffs for each section I edit. --[[User:EricDLee|EricDLee]] 01:10, 8 December 2010 (UTC)
:::If you're doing more than one page (I assume this is what you meant by each section), then you are welcome submit diffs of each individual page. —♥ [[User:Jello|Jello]][[User Talk:Jello|talk]] 01:13, 8 December 2010 (UTC)
::::For example, if I revamped the entire [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Appendix:FireRed_and_LeafGreen_walkthrough FRLG Walkthrough], would I submit one diff or seventeen diffs? {{unsigned|EricDLee}}
:::::You can submit all of the 17 diffs, but each entry/diff would get judged individually. Therefore, only one entry of yours can be eligible to win. —♥ [[User:Jello|Jello]][[User Talk:Jello|talk]] 01:32, 8 December 2010 (UTC)
::::::Got it, thanks so much! --[[User:EricDLee|EricDLee]] 01:34, 8 December 2010 (UTC)

Hello I'm confused about entering. When i copy my link for the diff and when I paste it it looks different to the other links. How can I change this. WhenI paste mine it looks like a real link but the other entrants have names to the link. [[User:Pokeams|Pokeams]] 17:20, 11 December 2010 (UTC)
:After the link, put a space and then type the title of the page. For example for your last edit to this talk page, you would put "<nowiki>[http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Bulbapedia_talk:Christmas_Improvement_Drive&diff=1280934&oldid=1279546 Bulbapedia talk:Christmas Improvement Drive]</nowiki>", which would give you this: [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Bulbapedia_talk:Christmas_Improvement_Drive&diff=1280934&oldid=1279546 Bulbapedia talk:Christmas Improvement Drive] Also, please sign your comments by putting four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>) at the end, rather than manually putting a link at the start. Thanks, and I hope that helps. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 01:33, 10 December 2010 (UTC)

'''From Brags to Riches''' (Japanese: '''開幕！サイユウ大会！！''' ''Opening! {{tt|Saiyū|Ever Grande}} Tournament!!'') is the 127th episode of the {{series|Advanced Generation}}, and the 401st episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It was first broadcast in Japan on May 5, 2005 and in the United States on March 11, 2006.
{{spoilers}}

== Synopsis ==
{{synopsis cleanup}}
{{Ash}} and company are awaiting the matchups for the second round of the Ever Grande Hoenn League. [[Nurse Joy]] explains that this round's battles are [[double battles]] and that 3 wins are required to advance.

The schedule is then shown on a screen and Ash and [[Morrison]] are battling today. Both are bickering on who is stronger but Morrison leaves since his battle is earlier. Morrison's battle begins and he faces off against [[Gavin]]. He sends out {{p|Growlithe}} and {{p|Gligar}} and Gavin sends out {{p|Marowak}} and {{p|Machamp}}.

Morrison orders Growlithe to use {{m|Take Down}} on Marowak who evades and uses {{m|Headbutt}}. Gligar uses {{m|Guillotine}} on Machamp and Machamp uses {{m|Karate Chop}}. Growlithe suffers damage from Marowak's {{m|Headbutt}} but regains strength and uses {{m|Flamethrower}} but Marowak's {{m|Bone Club}} blocks it. Gligar is hit by a {{m|Dynamic Punch}} and then a {{m|Cross Chop}}. Machamp is badly struck by Gligar's {{m|Steel Wing}} and Growlithe takes damage from a {{m|Bonemerang}}. Marowak charges into a Flamethrower and slams a Headbutt on Growlithe. Marowak freezes Growlithe's legs with an {{m|Ice Beam}} and then smacks it with a Bone Club.

Machamp hits Gligar with a {{m|Vital Throw}} but Gligar counters with Guillotine. A weak Machamp is then struck several times by Gligar's {{m|Steel Wing}} who then defeats Machamp with another Guillotine. Gavin is left with his Marowak against Gligar and Growlithe. Marowak dodges Growlithe's flamethrower and slams a Bone Club on it knocking it out. The battle is now one-on-one. Gligar's Guillotine and Marowak's Headbutt collide sending both flying. marowak freezes one of Gligar's wings who slams into the ground. After struggling from a Bone Club Gligar hits Marowak with an {{m|Iron Tail}} sending it flying. Morrison is then declared the winner.

Later that day, Ash is seen runnig with {{p|Pikachu}}, but then he falls into a hole. He looks up and [[Team Rocket]] appear. As they are about to recite their motto, their employer bursts through the wall and runs them away. Ash is then seen in the battlefield with his opponent [[Dominick]]. Ash releases {{p|Torkoal}} and {{p|Corphish}} and DOminick send outs {{p|Tropius}} and {{p|Swalot}}. Tropius starts off by flying up in the air and whips a {{m|Razor Leaf}} at Ash. Torkoal's and Corphish's defence, block the attack. Tropius' {{m|Bullet Seed}} seems futile against Torkoal's {{m|Iron Defence}}. Swalot hits Corphish with a {{m|Sludge Bomb}} and Tropius' {{m|Gust}} send Torkoal flying, but Torkoal uses Flamethrower on Tropius. Tropius dodges {{m|Overheat}} and Corphish dodges Swalot's {{m|Body Slam}}. Swalot seems to be a tough opponent since most of the attacks slip or bounce off its body. This happens when Corphish launches a {{m|BubbleBeam}}.

Tropius defends against Torkoal's and Corphish's combined attacks. Torkoal and Tropius both faint after their {{m|SolarBeam}} and Overheat collide. Ash and Dominick are both down to one pokemon now. Corphish gets dazed after getting hit from Swalot's {{m|Shockwave}} and is sent flying. Corphish is then hit by a bodyslam and is then struck down by a {{m|Shadow Ball}}. Corphish gets up and charges through a shockwave and grabs Swalot and throughs it. Seeing this as a good attack Ash tells Corphish to release Bubblebeam in Swalot's mouth. The bubbles explode and after the dust settles Swalot faints. Ash wins and wualifies to the next round.

[[Jesse]], [[James]] and [[Meowth]] are tired of working, but their works soon pays off when their employer walks in and praises them for their hard work. He then gives them some food to eat. Ash and Morrison are then told that [[Tyson]] also his battle. The episode ends with Ash and Morrison bickering again about who is stronger.
