OK. So this is Teh Purple One's lamoid user page. Teh Purple One has only posted Teh Purple One's Diamond Friend Code, since his Pearl is sukish, and has no chance of beating the [[Elite 4]] which it is on. Teh Purple's Diamond has every legendary that he has EVER captured in Generations 3 and 4. He also has an evolution of every starter in the Pokémon World! He will also post Platinum newz! +

== Teh Purple One ==

OK. So I am Teh Purple One, and this is my page. When it comes to Pokémon, I still have a lot to learn, however I am a seasoned pro, having played since 2001. I have every main series Pokémon game from each generation, however my [[Pokémon Gold Version]] recently broke, so I need to get a new one. I love participating in contests in my [[Generation 3]] and [[Generation 4]] games, but I know that beating the gym challenge and [[Elite 4]] is more important. I am currently taking a break from my video gaming to write a book. I would tell about it, but I am paranoid, and won't tell anything until it is published, to avoid anyone stealing it. Also, I will play [[Platinum]] when it comes out.
==Welcome==
Welcome to [[Bulbapedia]], {{BASEPAGENAME}}!

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]].
*The {{bp|manual of style}} is very important. Make sure to read it. It outlines all official policies of Bulbapedia.
*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 P, of course, is accessed easily by holding Shift and pressing the P key, while the é can be accessed using Alt + 130 or Alt + 0233 on a Windows computer, and Option + e, then e again on a Mac. Otherwise, you can 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''' (which is, again, accessed by holding Shift and pressing the B key). 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 {{cat|link templates}} is official policy. For an explanation on their use, see the page on {{bp|shortlinks}}.
*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. You will have to register separately for it, as well. This is done so that both Bulbapedia and [[Bulbanews]] have access to the images uploaded.
*If you want to make a page about a character you made up, please create it at User:{{PAGENAME}}/(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:Kuki|Kuki]][[User talk:Kuki|Talk]] 02:57, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, they're disabled. For everyone. Server load was too much and we don't yet have something that can automatically limit the amount of edits. We're getting to it. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 03:27, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
:Also, we're not adding the Volkner leaving in Platinum thing because as far as we know, that's just a rumor. Until we get official confirmation about anything, we don't add it to the pages.
:And you didn't need to ask Unown Lord to add that to the page, anyway. Anyone can go and do it themselves; that's the beauty of this being a wiki. Both a gift and a curse, sometimes. --[[User:Martonimos|Martonimos]][[User talk:Martonimos|((Talk))]] 03:31, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

Purpleknowitall:

In contrast, perhaps, in PokéSpe, Birch does seem to recognise Ruby after a while. Though the running shoes were a big hint, he later recalls that he has met Ruby before as a younger boy. This is, of course, later expanded upon in the backstory of Ruby and Sapphire... - [[User:Zhen Lin|振霖]][[User talk:Zhen Lin|T]] 04:00, 9 January 2006 (CST)
:For the record, Prof. Birch does recognize May after she chases the attacking Zigzagoon away. It can be inferred that her battle style reminded him of Norman's spirit, although Norman made it appear she was not that strong a character. At any rate, Prof. Birch only makes the connection after the battle, suggesting he has never seen her before. In early Pokémon Special, it is Ruby who would rather seem as a less than spectacular trainer (while Norman disapproves of that), thus refusing to battle Mightyena. Prof. Birch identifies Ruby judging by a combination of seeing the running shoes (which, in the games, are acquired later on) and a memory of his visage as a younger boy.

:If to be clear, the point is that the conversation does not take place, or at least not in the same way as any other piece of dialogue in the games. In the two game series, the professor begins with a presentation of himself, moving onto explaining just what Pokémon are. He then asks for the player's gender and name, going as far as to refer to a certain fact about the character (Red's rivalry with Green; May's moving to Littleroot Town). In both cases, though for different reasons, the latter part of the conversation does not logically flow with the former. I am proposing what most may find to be tautological--the conversation begins with the player, and by the time it ends, the player has essentially "merged" with the canon character. This makes way to a "player perspective" throughout the entirety of the games.

:Interestingly, this notion has not been completely ignored in Pokémon Special. Included in Vol. 15, where the aforementioned chapter with Ruby is found, is the final scene to the Gold/Silver/Crystal saga. It remarkably depicts the introduction of the respective game series: Prof. Oak's being woken up by Crys; his speech on his radio show and asking for the name of an unseen boy asking to receive a Pokédex. As much as I appreciate this attempt at being true to the games, I find it to be a mere plot device whose sole purpose was to elegantly wrap up the storyline. By being reserved for the end, as opposed to the beginning, the meaningful concept is reduced in my eyes.

:As a last note, the speech from the Generation II games is not brought here as I feel it is different in nature. It will be provided once comparisons to Diamond and Pearl can be made, presumably after the Japanese release.

==Flower Paradise==
I meant that Shaymin will probably be involved, but you removed that too, so I undid your edit to add back the part about Shaymin. --[[User:Shiny Noctowl|Shiny Noctowl]][[User talk:Shiny Noctowl|Talk]]|[[User:Shiny Noctowl/Trivia|Trivia quiz]][[Image:224MS.gif]] 20:58, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

But now the paragraph is not even relevant to the article, is it? Feel free to add the part about Shaymin to the Pokémon page, but you would clearly not have thought of putting it on the other page had you not had Flower Paradise in mind for the movie, as well. --Unown Lord

== A favor? ==

[[Template:Welcome]] is apparently protected. I've noticed that a lot of users spell "Poké Ball" incorrectly, so I'd appreciate it if you'd add something about that to the template. --[[User:Politoed666|ニョロトノ]][[User talk:Politoed666|''666'']] 19:40, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
:I have made the necessary changes. Thanks for pointing that out, and feel free to contact me regarding other protected pages as the case may be. --[[User:Unown Lord|Unown Lord]] 13:09, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

::I've got another admin job for you relating to another protected page. Could you please edit the links so as to reflect my recent moves of all game-boy titles (i.e. changing [[Pokémon Blue (Japanese)]] to [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)]])? Thanks. --[[User:Politoed666|ニョロトノ]][[User talk:Politoed666|''666'']] 01:57, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

:::Silly me. The page I need edited is [[Version-exclusive Pokémon]]. Thanks again! --[[User:Politoed666|ニョロトノ]][[User talk:Politoed666|''666'']] 02:00, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

Dear Unown Lord,
I just registered on Bulbapedia, and so far, I am happy I did. There is just one problem. I have tried to make my user page about 10 times, and it always says that,"You do not have permission to do that, for the following reason:

You do not have permission to edit pages in the User namespace."

How do I get permission? Thanks!
