== how can I upload images? ==

How can I upload images? [[User:Velvetstar|Velvetstar]] 19:06 17, January 2014 (UTC)
:You can upload images [[:a:Special:Upload|here]], but make sure you read [[:a:Archives:Image_use_policy|the rules]] before you upload anything. [[Typhlosion (Pokémon)|★]][[User:Jo The Marten|Jo the Marten]][[Flygon (Pokémon)|★]] [[User_Talk:Jo The Marten|ಠ_ಠ]][[Cilan (anime)|♥]] 02:35, 18 January 2014 (UTC)

Thank you! Here, contact me at acousticdreamer@yahoo.com [[User:Velvetstar|Velvetstar]] 22:24 17 January 2014 (UTC)

== Learnset table ==

For this {{DL|Gust_(move)|Learnset}} table, I changed the footer to be the same color as the header, but on this other {{DL|Sand_Attack_(move)|Learnset}} table, both are two different colors. Should the Learnset table's header and footer be the same color? — [[User:Reshi643|Reshi]][[User talk:Reshi643|643]] 03:50, 26 January 2014 (UTC)
:If it's always been the same type. Gust and Sand Attack used to be Normal type moves, so the learnset tables use both Ground and Normal-type colors.

::Ok, thanks. — [[User:Reshi643|Reshi]][[User talk:Reshi643|643]] 21:46, 26 January 2014 (UTC)

== Noting Clemont's eye color ==

On [[Iris]], there's no note for anime!{{an|Iris}}'s eyes; same between Misty's articles, despite having four different colors on her main page. Since his anime page notes his eyes in that incarnation are blue, I don't feel it's necessary to note it on his main page. For that same reason, I also didn't add Limone in his relatives' list, like is done on [[Brock]] and [[Misty]].

== Teensy question... ==

...Do you have any idea why (some, if not most of) Bulbapedia's images are going wonky? Or is it just me? Seeing floating black error messages all over is weirding me out, lol. --[[User:FireGambit|'''F'''ire'''G'''ambit]] ([[User talk:FireGambit|talk]]) 06:52, 2 February 2014 (UTC)

:I realized reading that that it didn't answer your question. The Archives just need a hardware upgrade. [[Typhlosion (Pokémon)|★]][[User:Jo The Marten|Jo the Marten]][[Flygon (Pokémon)|★]] [[User_Talk:Jo The Marten|ಠ_ಠ]][[Cilan (anime)|♥]] 06:58, 2 February 2014 (UTC)
::Haha, alright thanks. I shall wait patiently for a fix. --[[User:FireGambit|'''F'''ire'''G'''ambit]] ([[User talk:FireGambit|talk]]) 07:00, 2 February 2014 (UTC)
Bonus Question! If you're auto-confirmed here, will your account also be auto-confirmed on the Archives? I ask because earlier today, I attempted to upload a better Shauntal sprite, but apparently I can't unless I'm not auto-confirmed. --[[User:FireGambit|'''F'''ire'''G'''ambit]] ([[User talk:FireGambit|talk]]) 07:23, 2 February 2014 (UTC)
:Nope. The only thing that carries over to the other Bulbawiki sites would be your account. Not your user rights. [[Typhlosion (Pokémon)|★]][[User:Jo The Marten|Jo the Marten]][[Flygon (Pokémon)|★]] [[User_Talk:Jo The Marten|ಠ_ಠ]][[Cilan (anime)|♥]] 07:31, 2 February 2014 (UTC)
::So then what else would one do on the Archives, other than upload images? Forgive me if this is a stupid question; I'm prone to asking them. :) --[[User:FireGambit|'''F'''ire'''G'''ambit]] ([[User talk:FireGambit|talk]]) 07:40, 2 February 2014 (UTC)
:::Hmmmm, I'd say fixing templates, image summaries, and categories would be a good place to start. To a lesser degree, welcoming new users. [[Typhlosion (Pokémon)|★]][[User:Jo The Marten|Jo the Marten]][[Flygon (Pokémon)|★]] [[User_Talk:Jo The Marten|ಠ_ಠ]][[Cilan (anime)|♥]] 08:19, 2 February 2014 (UTC)
::::Alright then, thanks for the help. Speaking of welcoming users, when I see a new account is created, can I drop that generic Bulbapedia welcome template, or is that something only administrators can do? I promise it's the final question for tonight, hehe. --[[User:FireGambit|'''F'''ire'''G'''ambit]] ([[User talk:FireGambit|talk]]) 08:22, 2 February 2014 (UTC)
:::::Anyone can welcome new users. But while it's not a requirement, we do have a preference that experienced users welcome new ones, because chances are that new users will go to whoever welcomed them for guidance and advice, and if the person that welcomed them literally does nothing ''but'' welcome users they won't really know how to answer their questions. See what I mean? So we'd like it if people knew their way around the site first. [[Typhlosion (Pokémon)|★]][[User:Jo The Marten|Jo the Marten]][[Flygon (Pokémon)|★]] [[User_Talk:Jo The Marten|ಠ_ಠ]][[Cilan (anime)|♥]] 08:38, 2 February 2014 (UTC)

== Anime characters ==

Hello! As I was perusing Bulbapedia articles the other day, I noticed that several anime characters (such as [[Foster]] or [[Georgio]]) did not have a character box. Is this because they are minor characters? Or, if they ''do'' need boxes, could I add some? Thanks in advance. --[[User:FireGambit|'''F'''ire'''G'''ambit]] ([[User talk:FireGambit|talk]]) 00:51, 7 February 2014 (UTC)
:Characters of the day, aka one-time characters don't get infoboxes usually. Typically there's no info that could be added to them. [[Typhlosion (Pokémon)|★]][[User:Jo The Marten|Jo the Marten]][[Flygon (Pokémon)|★]] [[User_Talk:Jo The Marten|ಠ_ಠ]][[Cilan (anime)|♥]] 02:02, 7 February 2014 (UTC)
::Cool beans. --[[User:FireGambit|'''F'''ire'''G'''ambit]] ([[User talk:FireGambit|talk]]) 05:23, 7 February 2014 (UTC)
Bonus question, 'cause I have far too many of them: after reading plenty of articles here, I've noticed that they seem to follow a protocol of not repeat-linking a page? I'm not sure about this, but I was wondering if this is so. I've found plenty of inconsistencies, if my hypothesis is correct, and therefore was excited at the prospect of finding an editing niche. --[[User:FireGambit|'''F'''ire'''G'''ambit]] ([[User talk:FireGambit|talk]]) 05:42, 7 February 2014 (UTC)

== Template ==

Hello Jo! How goes it? Greetings aside, I was wondering if I could borrow your egg-archive-template-thing-a-ma-bob (sorry, I had to do it). I'll credit you as its creator, if you'd like. Thanks in advance. --[[User:FireGambit|'''FireGambit''']] ([[User talk:FireGambit|'''talk''']]) 22:47, 18 February 2014 (UTC)
:Sure, just make sure to change it up so it's unique to you. [[Typhlosion (Pokémon)|★]][[User:Jo The Marten|Jo the Marten]][[Flygon (Pokémon)|★]] [[User_Talk:Jo The Marten|ಠ_ಠ]][[Cilan (anime)|♥]] 05:00, 19 February 2014 (UTC)
::Thank you again. :) --[[User:FireGambit|'''FireGambit''']] ([[User talk:FireGambit|'''talk''']]) 05:20, 19 February 2014 (UTC)

== Suggested change to our type pages ==

I made a suggestion on {{DL|Talk:Fairy (type)|Offensive and Defensive Charactaristics|Talk:Fairy (type)}} that I think would be a better course of action for handling our type pages than what we do now. I brought it up with {{DL|User talk:Maverick Nate|Suggested forums discussion|Maverick Nate}}, since he normally runs the administrative discussion on the forums, and he directed me here. Do you mind giving your thoughts on the matter, please? [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 16:40, 20 February 2014 (UTC)
:I'll bring it up in a chat discussion cause even though I'm Head of Games I feel like all I'd do is delete all trances of competitive battling from the site. (hahaha...) But while I do agree that it's a bit too close to "strategies", it's also based on solid fact based on their stats. So if anything, it could probably just be dumbed down a bit at the very least. [[Typhlosion (Pokémon)|★]][[User:Jo The Marten|Jo the Marten]][[Flygon (Pokémon)|★]] [[User_Talk:Jo The Marten|ಠ_ಠ]][[Cilan (anime)|♥]] 18:00, 20 February 2014 (UTC)

==Battle Trozei==
Does somebody have a page for the new Trozei game started up on their userpage? [[User:Glik|Glik]] ([[User talk:Glik|talk]]) 18:49, 26 February 2014 (UTC)
:Not that I know of, but we do need a page for it asap. [[Typhlosion (Pokémon)|★]][[User:Jo The Marten|Jo the Marten]][[Flygon (Pokémon)|★]] [[User_Talk:Jo The Marten|ಠ_ಠ]][[Cilan (anime)|♥]] 02:22, 27 February 2014 (UTC)

==Emulator ROM Mods==
So I used to be a huge Pokemon fan, got every game from Red and Blue through to Platinum, but faded out of it through middle school. Now with i devises having emulators, my whole grade is on a huge Pokemon hit and I began playing ROM's and found out about mods. I was looking for some info on the Zhery league, but found out through extensive searching that bulbapedia doesn't have anything on Pokemon ROM mods. Would pages on modified games ever develop?{{unsigned|Modmasterfitzy}}
:I doubt it because we don't usually publish information regarding ROMs or emulators. We stick to official information. We only acknowledge ROMs in special cases. [[Typhlosion (Pokémon)|★]][[User:Jo The Marten|Jo the Marten]][[Flygon (Pokémon)|★]] [[User_Talk:Jo The Marten|ಠ_ಠ]][[Cilan (anime)|♥]] 03:13, 4 March 2014 (UTC)
::There is a page specifically for all [[ROM hacks]], and as far as I know there's no real restriction on adding a hack to the page so long as it's notable enough. Hell, there are even some reputable ones still missing. [[User:Schiffy|Schiffy (瀬藤健二)]] ([[User talk:Schiffy|Talk]] [[Special:Contributions/Schiffy|Contribs]]) 17:09, 3/4/2014 (UTC)

== Philosophical-Psychological Informist Togekiss ==

Jo, I report you that Philosophical-Psychological Informist Togekiss is editing the same page and I shouldn't give out warnings to other users, I just report you. --[[User:Cinday123|Cinday123]] ''([[User talk:Cinday123|Talk]])'' 07:09, 10 March 2014 (UTC)
:I don't really see the issue. They seem to clearly have an interest in Twitch Plays Pokémon, I can't fault them on that. They choose what they want to edit. Then, because a lot happens in a short time span, I personally feel like frequent editing is to be expected. They haven't caused any fuss, or created any vandalism. I don't see them as a problematic user.

::Yes Jo, that's fine with this user, I don't see the issue about editing the same page, editing Twitch Plays Pokémon is fine, so there's no vandalism, and also, this user is not a problematic user at all. --[[User:Cinday123|Cinday123]] ''([[User talk:Cinday123|Talk]])'' 07:27, 10 March 2014 (UTC)

== Roaming Pokémon page, Generation VI section ==
Thanks for stating the reason for the edit in the summary, I appreciate that. Although I wanted to ask, would it be OK if we change the 10 to an 11? Because technically it's 11 times.

Also speaking of not being a strategy wiki, I seem to remember you guys having an awesome walkthrough for FireRed/LeafGreen (or was it Diamond/Pearl?). Is there plans to do that for X/Y? [[User:Karasuhebi|Karasuhebi]] ([[User talk:Karasuhebi|talk]]) 08:23, 10 March 2014 (UTC)
:Clarification is always welcome. Also, no. [[Typhlosion (Pokémon)|★]][[User:Jo The Marten|Jo the Marten]][[Flygon (Pokémon)|★]] [[User_Talk:Jo The Marten|ಠ_ಠ]][[Cilan (anime)|♥]] 08:27, 10 March 2014 (UTC)
:: Thanks for the quick reply. Also 'No, don't change from 10 to 11' or 'No, no planned walkthrough for X/Y'? [[User:Karasuhebi|Karasuhebi]] ([[User talk:Karasuhebi|talk]]) 08:31, 10 March 2014 (UTC)
:::We're not making a walkthrough for X/Y. You're welcome to make the information on the roaming Pokémon page more specific.[[Typhlosion (Pokémon)|★]][[User:Jo The Marten|Jo the Marten]][[Flygon (Pokémon)|★]] [[User_Talk:Jo The Marten|ಠ_ಠ]][[Cilan (anime)|♥]] 08:35, 10 March 2014 (UTC)

== Friend Safari locations for Pokemon pages ==

I understand we're "supposed" to be waiting on a new template to add Friend Safari locations to Pokemon pages. But I cannot fathom that it could be so great a change that Friend Safari location is only acceptably notable in that template, and not in the current template. If it is possible to acceptably note Friend Safari location for a Pokemon with the current template, people should be allowed to go around and add FS locations to Pokemon pages. It's been entirely too long, and unless you can tell me the new template will be ready in a day or two, we shouldn't have to ''keep'' waiting, ''keep'' the wiki out-of-date even longer. I know I'm willing to work on it, and I'm sure there are a few others around who would still be willing. Will you approve people adding Friend Safari locations in some acceptable format? [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 06:05, 14 March 2014 (UTC)
:You've been around. Perhaps you've missed this... Whatever the case, I'd very much like an answer, please. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 08:38, 20 March 2014 (UTC)

== Question about Effort Value Yield ==

Hello. I couldn't find anything on Bulbapedia along the lines of Wikipedia's Reference Desk, so I figured I might as well ask you (hope I'm not a bother)! So, here goes. I visited Bulba's page on [[List of Pokémon by effort value yield|EV Yield]], and in the intro, there's a note stating that the numbers there are only valid for gen V and up! So I Googled around, and there's conflicting sources. Psypokes claims that these values only differ from the first 2 gens, and that the only change between gen III and the present is the new Pokemon (by the way, for the purposes of this question, my main focus is gen III) Is this true?.

Bonus Question - What's a good 3 Pokemon core to build around Mudkip, using Pokemon available toward the beginning of Sapphire (even if only temporary)? I plan on EVing Mudkip to be a wall breaker/mixed tank, if that helps...

And one last thing, you might have been able to deduce from my questions that I'm a budding EV trainer. Can you point me in the direction of a good online community? Kay, thanks! --[[User:SillyWynaut96|SillyWynaut96]] ([[User talk:SillyWynaut96|talk]]) 17:52, 28 March 2014 (UTC)
:The {{bp|Staff}} page is kind of like a reference page. You can contact pretty much any active staff member you want with a question, and if they can't answer, someone who can will show up to help you out.

:I looked through the history, and it seems [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=List_of_Pok%C3%A9mon_by_effort_value_yield&diff=1633539&oldid=1633535 Jigglypuff, Meowth, and Geodude's base exp yield was changed in Gen V]. That's what the disclaimer is referring to, not the EV they yield.

:I'm probably not the person to ask for competitive advice. I'm generally terrible at team building because I prefer using Pokémon I like over Pokémon that would actually be useful. The only thing I can really imagine being good with Mudkip in Sapphire would be Ludicolo since it gets Rain Dance and its ability heals it during a downpour. Then Mudkip-Swampert can also benefit from the attack boost. But I would suggest asking {{u|MAGNEDETH}} cause he's more savvy in that field than I am.

:As for your last question, like I said, I'm not really into competitive play myself. You could always look around the [http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/f323/ video game board on Bulbagarden's forums]. [http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/f518/ There's even a board dedicated to competitive play]. I honestly don't know of any other ''good'' communities. I'm not trying to be self-promoting here. I'm just not much of a forum person so I don't really have much experience with which community is the best.

== User's response on [[Talk:High Jump Kick (move)]] ==

I understand that the comment is very old. However, isn't the policy that replies should not be added to conversations that have finished/resolved? The [[Bulbapedia:Talk page policy#Talk page etiquette|policy]] doesn't actually say that it is, unassailably, okay to respond if no response was ever made, of course... But Bbbbbbbbba did make a useful comment about something that was never answered in any form. I just think that warrants forbearance here and the comment should be kept. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 23:55, 28 March 2014 (UTC)
:I doubt Socob has been watching the talk page all these years waiting for a response. The discussion is dead. Rather than trying to revive a dead conversation, it would be a better decision to have added the information to the article. That's where most people look for information anyway. If we can get proof their theory is factual, it can be added to a Notes section. [[Typhlosion (Pokémon)|★]][[User:Jo The Marten|Jo the Marten]][[Flygon (Pokémon)|★]] [[User_Talk:Jo The Marten|ಠ_ಠ]][[Cilan (anime)|♥]] 00:23, 29 March 2014 (UTC)
::Or...leave it on the talk page until someone ''can'' provide proof for it. If that proof never comes, you'd be preventing people from finding the information at all (Socob isn't the only person to consider).
::...Unless someone just makes a new section on the talk page with that theory. Yeah, I think that'll be what I'll resort to. If it hasn't been put on the article by tomorrow or so, I'll just make a section recounting Bbbbbbbbba's theory and asking if anyone can confirm it and put it in the article. There shouldn't really be any cause for complaint about that.
::(I don't intend to be insubordinate, per se.

== Hi! <s>Billy Mays</s> SillyWynaut96 here, with another question. ==

Hope you laughed too! Anyway, I've got another (hopefully simpler) factual question (hate to single you out, but 'Head of Games' seems like the go-to for this). You're aware of the whole, grass beats water, water beats fire, fire beats grass thing. So, just how many of these rock-paper-scissor-style type-effectiveness triangles are there? Can you name them? And besides the obvious difference of the fairy type, would there be any other differences between gen III and gen VI in this respect? Thanks for putting up with me, [[User:SillyWynaut96|SillyWynaut96]] ([[User talk:SillyWynaut96|talk]]) 15:48, 2 April 2014 (UTC)
:After googling around, I think I should clarify. For my purposes, a type triangle strictly means that x is super effective to y, is super effective to z, is super effective to x. Also, x is resistant to (NOT immune to) z, is resistant to y, is resistant to x. [[User:SillyWynaut96|SillyWynaut96]] ([[User talk:SillyWynaut96|talk]]) 16:33, 2 April 2014 (UTC)

== [[Berry#In Generation VI]] Berry list and templates ==

I come to you, Head of Games, wondering about a new template(s) for the Gen VI Berries. I have two issues.

The first, a fairly minor concern: the Gen VI Berries have no numbers, so I'd like to create a new template (Berrylist/6 and Berrylist/h/6, I think) without that column.

Second, the Berry trees now have 7 stages of growth as opposed to 5.
*This is where you planted the [Berry] Berry!
*The [Berry] is sprouting!
*The [Berry]'s seedling is growing well!
*The [Berry]'s trunk is getting bigger!
*The [Berry] tree has buds!
*The [Berry] tree is in bloom!
*(When the Berries have fruited and the tree is harvestable.)
In addition, sprouts may be different now; Rawst and Oran sprouts look different, for example. Right now we don't have sprites for any of these stages, but I think these should get a new template as well, like Tree/6.

Of course, none of the above would be ''too'' difficult to do within current templates, I just kind of think it'd be better if they were their own, new templates. What do you think? [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 16:42, 4 April 2014 (UTC)
:Well, they are ''sorted'' by their numbers, AFAIK. You could theoretically collect all the berries and sort them by type to get the numbers. [[User:Pikachu Bros.|Pikachu Bros.]] ([[User talk:Pikachu Bros.|talk]]) 16:46, 4 April 2014 (UTC)
::I notice you were on long enough to make a couple of edits since my question above. I don't know if you're busy or discussing it with staff or what, but I'd really appreciate even the briefest acknowledgement when you have a bit of time.

== Image theft ==

I don't know if this is necessary seeing their repeated history of being told on but a user of Pokémon Wikia named DragonSpore18 has been stealing images from us such as the one of [http://pokemon.wikia.com/wiki/File:Katsuyuki_Konishi.jpg Katsuyuki Konishi] and [http://pokemon.wikia.com/wiki/File:Clemont_Chespin_Overgrow.png Chespin's Overgrow].

== Rosebr10 ==

Since you were the person in contact with the anonymous source who indicated "Unknown" was the best voice actor listing for [[Bianca (movie)]], I'm hoping it would be possible for you to have a word with [[User:Rosebr10]] about {{DL|Talk:Bianca (movie)|English voice actor|her hostility on the matter}} (which, as a side note, is a recurring problem with her, as you can see from warnings on her talk page and the tone of her user page and some of her other contributions).

== Some questions ==

Hi Jo, I just have a few questions, and I figured you'd be the best person to ask them as head of games here. A while back I made a few templates that I would assume are ready to be mainspaced, but I want to run it by you first. The first of these templates is [[User:Schiffy/Template:Warrior]] (or [[User:Schiffy/Template:Warrior/Full]]), which is intended for [[List of Pokémon Conquest characters|this page]]. I asked [[User:Berrenta|Berrenta]] to look over the first one, and she agreed it looks fine, but that someone higher up should decide (On a side note, in regards to that page, I noticed some Warriors using colors on their tables that don't match their type(s). It's only one or two, but it should probably be fixed). On a separate note, the other templates I set up a while back were [[User:Schiffy/Barry color]] and its light and dark equivalents. Just wondering of those could possibly be used. Thanks, [[User:Schiffy|Schiffy (瀬藤健二)]] ([[User talk:Schiffy|Talk]] [[Special:Contributions/Schiffy|Contribs]]) 02:21, 5/1/2014 (UTC)
:Essentially you're just taking the code already on the page and turning it into a template? Eh, I think [[Template:Warlord]] would be better. Then we could get rid of the gallery at the bottom, and fill in some of the information in the bullets. Also, we don't need a template for Barry colors.

::Well yes, that's exactly what I did for the template. Essentially, I figured since the same table is being used {{tt|163 times|I think}} on that page, it would make more sense to condense it. I suppose the Warlord template could work as well. The Barry thing just crossed my mind while I was helping with the Party -> Party/Single template switch, and I noticed nearly everything with Barry was using the same three hex color codes. If they're unnecessary, then fine. [[User:Schiffy|Schiffy (瀬藤健二)]] ([[User talk:Schiffy|Talk]] [[Special:Contributions/Schiffy|Contribs]]) 15:07, 5/1/2014 (UTC)

== 'Google Maps: Pokémon Challenge' article ==

Hey there! Apologies if you're not in charge of such matters, but I thought you're the most appropriate person to ask, being the Head of Games. I was wondering if an article on the Google Maps: Pokémon Challenge event would be warranted. It was motivated by the April Fools, but it took place for quite a while (in fact, it [http://kotaku.com/pokemon-google-maps-rewards-players-who-catch-em-all-1569856978 still] does) and was with The Pokémon Company's [https://twitter.com/Pokemon/status/450716715211427840 endorsement]. There's quite some content that can be documented, including the Pokémon on the Google Pokédex, with their index numbers and locations. I'd be interested in doing a head start if I can have the okay! :) --[[User:Ash Pokemaster|Ash Pokemaster]] ([[User talk:Ash Pokemaster|talk]]) 21:04, 6 May 2014 (UTC)
:One of our staff members, {{u|Berrenta}}, has [[User:Berrenta/GoogleDex|started an article in her userspace]]. We'll probably mainspace it soon so people can add to it.

== I'm wanting to create a Regional Pokedex walkthrough for Emerald. ==

I'm pretty new to Bulbapedia, so I'm not sure if you're the right person to ask, but after using some walkthroughs and editing some pages, I'm wanting to create a walkthrough for catching every single Pokemon in the Emerald regional Pokedex. How would I get around to doing that?

Thanks. [[User:KodakKid3|KodakKid3]] ([[User talk:KodakKid3|talk]]) 00:40, 28 May 2014 (UTC)

[[User talk:G50#Mainspace|G50 said]] you're the one I should ask about what to do with [[User:Ht14/IGEP/Slots|this]] (Or at least that's what I read...), considering I didn't start it (but I finished it).

:I don't like these at all, and while I don't find the information ''that'' particularly useful (because the moves are all essentially the last 4 moves it could learn up to its current level), if we really want to have the information on the article(s), we could do a lot better in terms of presentation.

== Your reversion on [[Iceberg Zone]] ==

You should not revert a whole edit that affects more than what you have issue with. I feel that since you have the problem, you should do the fixing up right, so I've reverted it (give or take a couple fixes/minor edits of my own) and you're free to add back in the colors (manually, instead of just reverting wholesale again, please). (Plus, I favor Lady Ariel's edit anyway: with the cells white, the table is brighter and more pleasant and it looks cleaner, as opposed to the dark colors for no needful reason.) [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 02:09, 1 July 2014 (UTC)
:...Okay, I'm half sorry. Upon double-checking it, it seems you didn't "just" revert Lady Ariel's edit. But you did still undo a whole lot of stuff that was completely unnecessary (the borders, the widths, the numbers, colspans, "color:"s). So I apologize for the mischaracterization. But still: please just add back/adjust the colors next time (/this time). [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 02:22, 1 July 2014 (UTC)

::Actually, I'm the highest authority on decisions regarding our gaming articles aside from the EiC and deputy so I actually ''can'' revert an entire edit if I disagree with it. That means neither you nor Lady Ariel have the power or the authority to make such a major change within my section without consulting me first, or at least discussing it. The white background looks bland and boring. The colors make it pop and it looks more appealing in my opinion. If you disagree, '''discuss it''', and we will put it up to a poll, but do not simply change it because it's what ''you'' want. That design has been there since the articles were written. You can't just suddenly up and decide to change it.

:::I respect your authority where it deserves respecting. To wit: if you insist, I'll bend regarding the color scheme (I won't even argue it, mostly because I don't know how to do so strongly enough). But your authority does not extend to useless code like [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Iceberg_Zone&curid=121555&diff=2138940&oldid=2138932 all this]. ''That'' is the main reason I undid your edit; the color scheme was entirely secondary. I thought you had merely reverted the whole edit without much thought, and I wanted you to be more discriminate in fixing your issue. Though I shortly realized that you hadn't actually reverted the whole edit, it was too late. Sadly, you still reverted practically the whole of my reversion as well, even after I tried to make my main issue clear to you. (You'll notice I only discussed the color scheme parenthetically.) That means you either didn't realize that the parts I re-edited afterwards were bloat/bad form or you didn't care. I hope the answer is that you didn't realize.
:::All I'm really saying is that I expected better of you and hoped you ''would'' do better. For whatever reason, though, my hopes were betrayed and you didn't or weren't able to. Perhaps we can both do better next time... [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 04:00, 1 July 2014 (UTC)

== Bianca ==

I see you are the one responsible for proposing this whole mystery situation. Your reason, however, is vague. Based on your edit history, you had believed prior to contact that she was voiced by Ortiz like the rest and particularly rejected the concept of Jayne as a candidate. The way you removed Ortiz and go to such lengths suggests that your contact was with a proxy or Ortiz rather than one from Jayne. Therefore I ask you this: What exactly did your contact say? More specifically, did it particularly state that Jayne was not the voice of Bianca despite the credit list (in other words, did it say that the credits themselves were incorrect)?

Do not think ill of me; I want only what's best. And what I'd like is to see is this triviality that has somehow inflated to this mass taken care of once and for all. [[User:Rosebr10|Rosebr10]] ([[User talk:Rosebr10|talk]]) 23:43, 5 July 2014 (UTC)

::I knew it. So then did you choose the "Unknown" label as an absolute defense rather than an indication of sheer ambiguity?

== The new spriteboxes and the previous generations ==

I really like the new sprite boxes! However, after looking through, I saw that many of them have the wrong Generation in the part where it says, 'This Pokémon was unavailable prior to Generation '. For example: [[Wingull (Pokémon)#Sprites|Wingull]] (Which has 'Gen' as the parameter name instead of 'gen'), [[Metagross (Pokémon)#Sprites|Metagross]], [[Oshawott (Pokémon)#Sprites|Oshawott]], [[Tepig (Pokémon)#Sprites|Tepig]], [[Chandelure (Pokémon)#Sprites|Chandelure]], and many, many more. I would edit it myself, but this seems to me like it needs some sort of bot or something, because they are so many and so random. - [[User:Mr. Flix|Mr. Flix]] | [[User_talk:Mr. Flix|Talk to me^^]] 08:45, 7 August 2014 (UTC)

I've noticed that Bulbapedia is missing some articles on a few of the new locations in ORAS, so I created [[User:Aggron989/Nameless Cavern|two]] [[User:Aggron989/Pathless Plain|articles]] in my userspace as a draft.

== Ability Variations ==

Hello. I'm wondering if Strong Jaw and Mega Launcher would count as variant abilities, like Snow Warning and Sand Stream, etc. They both have the same effect - increase the power of moves in a certain category by 50%, Strong Jaw for biting moves, Mega Launcher for aura and pulse moves. [[User:Drake Clawfang|Drake Clawfang]] ([[User talk:Drake Clawfang|talk]]) 22:37, 14 December 2014 (UTC)
:Yup, the two abilities definitely share similar effects! But for right now it looks like we're going to be focusing on cleaning up variant abilities. So don't do anything for now. But yes, we definitely agree with you that the two abilities are one and the same, just for two different types of moves.

==Split for list of Mystery Dungeon characters==

I'm sorry if you aren't the person to bother on this, but since you're the Head of Games, I figured you'd be a good person to bring it up to.

The [[list of Mystery Dungeon characters]] currently covers four different sets of games. It makes more sense to me to split the page up into four different pages--one for each set of games. It'd also be easier to navigate since there wouldn't be so many different sections on one page. I brought it up on the talk page for the article, but no one has responded. I wouldn't be in such a rush, except I plan on doing quite a few edits to some Mystery Dungeon articles, and it would involve linking to this list. So if the page ''is'' going to be split, I'd rather it be before I make all of the edits so that I won't have to go back and fix all the links.

If you could get back to me, or direct me to someone else I should talk to, I'd appreciate it. [[User:Slimey01|'''slimey''']][[User talk:Slimey01|'''01''']] 02:37, 15 December 2014 (UTC)

== Pokémon Yellow PEGI Rating ==

I earlier interrupted what might have become an edit war to try to help figure out a solution to what was being edited. After a [[User_talk:SatoMew2#The_comment_regarding_PEGI|friendly chat]], I made the call on how to mark Yellow for PEGI: unrated (I used N/A since it didn't exist at the time), and included a tooltip with the conflicting source listed as Pokémon UK, who claims it's rated. I know nothing about PEGI other than being told it was created in 2003, which was after Generation II.

As the Head of Games (this article, obviously, is a game), can you please review the discussion and [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Pok%C3%A9mon_Yellow_Version&diff=2222389&oldid=2222196 my edit] and determine if anything further should be done in regards to this? Other than contacting PEGI and getting official word from them, we have to go by the facts, I think. Feel free to outdent the discussion if you choose to comment.

Hello. I was actually the one who started [[User_talk:SatoMew2#The_comment_regarding_PEGI|the discussion you dealt with regarding Pokémon Yellow's PEGI rating]]. Those of us who were involved in the discussion came to a slightly different conclusion than you did; we thought that since PEGI's actual website—the "more official" source—lables it unrated, we should make that the default choice while also noting (e.g., by tooltip) the other source's "3" rating. Although I'll respect your final decision, I request that you read our discussion in order to see why we came to the conclusion we did (unless you did read it already). Thanks!

I'm a bit confused as to why Swords Dance and Barrier are considered variations to a lot of moves on [[Template:Amnesia]] but much less on [[Template:Agility]], which is the template used on their pages.

Pokemon Omega Ruby will be my first game, and the Saving article is a little unclear. Let's say the only pokemon I had was my starter and I made it to Petalburg Woods. Then I saved my game. The next day I caught 2 more pokemon and I wanted to save. Correct me if I am wrong, but since the game only allows one save file, then if I delete my first save file, what will happen?

Shadow King23: /* Joining */

==Wondering==

Just wondering...shouldn't some other projecs be this project's subprojects?--'''[[User:Maria-williams|Maria]][[User_talk:Maria-williams|♥♪♫δ]]''' 07:04, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

== Game Stub Template ==

Is there anyway to use gamestub without categorizing the article as a game stub? Other than copying the code from the template itself onto this article. - [[User talk:SpontaneousCombusken|s.]][[User:SpontaneousCombusken|'''Combusken''']] 06:51, 4 January 2009 (UTC)
:Unfortunately no. For that, you would have to copy the code from the template page.--''[[User:Sher-e-Bengal|Sher]]-e-[[User_talk:Sher-e-Bengal|Bengal]]''- 05:25, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

==Joining==
I added myself to the participants list. Hope thats ok --[[User:FLAMER|FLAMER!]] 12:49, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

Im pretty new but I joined and will be helping as soon as possible--{{u|Munchy Lax}} 23:25, 24 June 2010 (UTC)

I'd like to join! I noticed you don't have anyone specifically working on the GC Pokémon games, and that's sort of my area of expertise. I'm actually replaying Pokémon Colosseum right now so a lot of it is pretty fresh in my mind.--[[User:Phantomjunkie|Phantomjunkie]] 21:15, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

Osu. I suppose I'm going to have to join here. My area of expertise is Black and White. I know all the places to get the info, and the pictures. Plus, I know what a lot of the fan-made names are, and the concept art for Mijumaru and Tsutaja's evolutions. [[User:Tailzoxy96|Tailzoxy96]] 04:20, 20 July 2010 (UTC)

Hey Ah I'm kinda new here, I'm wondering where I go to offer to submit pics of the Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire Diplomas as I just got the Regional and National Diploma's last night... I've got fairly good pics of both. Shadow_King23

== Jurisdiction of GB Sets ==

Does the set in [[List of Pokémon Card GB sets]] fall under the jurisdiction of the TCG Project or the Game Project? - [[User:Plau|plau]] 00:20, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
:It falls under {{bp|Project TCG}}.--''[[User:Sher-e-Bengal|Sher]]-e-[[User_talk:Sher-e-Bengal|Bengal]]''- 09:41, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

== User tag update ==

Should the user tag image be updated to show the most recent gaming system?[[User:DCM]] 21:49, 20 April 2009 (UTC)

== Pokemon Scramble ==

Shouldn't Pokemon Scramble have a article? [[User:AlienX2008|AlienX2008]] 01:43, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
:[[Melee! Pokémon Scramble|It does]]. — [[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|THE TROM]] — 01:59, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

== Spin off games ==

Hola! I have a guidebook for Pokémon Stadium 2, complete with all opponents, their Pokémon, moves, items, etc. I'd like to put all this party info in.. but where? For the gym leader castle, would I put these parties on the Pokémon Stadium 2 page, where each opponent is already listed? Or on the individual gym pages? And for the cup opponents, would I list them on each cup page? I would just go ahead and make the changes, but I don't want people getting mad. Wanna make sure first!

I also have the guidebook for Pokémon Snap. I know this one's a bit less important, but there's official pictures of each area (Beach, Cave, River). Would it be good to upload those and put them on the Snap page, or just forget them?
Thanks! --[[User:Snowrunt|'''ℓaℓa''']] [[Special:Contributions/Snowrunt|ℓe]] [[User talk:Snowrunt|'''snoωrunt''']] 23:31, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

== Pokémon Ranger characters ==

Should there really be articles on every Pokémon Ranger character? Some just aren't notable like "Boy", which is about a Pokémon Ranger character which isn't created (the name can also be misleading as boy can refer to almost half of the people in the Pokémon World). If there needs to be an article on them, shouldn't there be an article called "List of NPCs in Pokémon Ranger" or something like that? [[User:Turtwig A|Turt]][[wig]] [[Turtwig (Pokémon)|A]] '''''[[Special:Contributions/Turtwig_A|Contributions]]''''' '''''[[User talk:Turtwig A|Talk]]''''' 12:48, 3 November 2009 (UTC)

== Template Pic ==

Please, somebody fix the "Project Games notice" template. The Image is missing. Thanks in advance --[[User:SaitoFX|Saito]][[User_talk:SaitoFX|FX]] 27 May 2010, 19:37 (UTC)

== Subproject ==

I listed you as a parent project on [[Bulbapedia:Project Sidegames|my project]], so you should list it as a subproject. [[User:Flyingtypefan|Flyingtypefan]] 02:02, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

== Scope ==

This project page makes it appear that the project only covers the games themselves, but I have seen the Project Games notice pop up on game mechanic pages too. So should these notices be removed, or are they correct and this page should be rephrased? --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 12:51, 7 November 2010 (UTC)

== Pokemon Type Wild ==

There is a fan-made Pokémon game called Type Wild which I think is quite popular... Should we make the page for it? [[User:Milkgila|Milkgila]] 06:16, 26 December 2010 (UTC)
:[[Hack games]]. Take it up on the talk page first. If a few other people have actually heard of it, it might be added to the page. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 06:36, 26 December 2010 (UTC)

== Adding links to credits on game pages ==

I find it odd how the only way you can view the list of credits for the games is by searching directly for them. I think we should implement a link to them in the actual game pages, but I'm not sure whether to edit the Infobox template, or go Mario Wiki and add a section to each game page that links to the credits. [[User:Soincfunt|Soincfunt]] 17:00, 11 March 2012 (UTC)

== To-do of what I found ==

#The trainers from Jubilife TV in DP - they move around in Platinum and get stronger over time. By over time, I mean reaching certain points in the game. First time I fought the [[Roxy and Oli|Interviewers]], they had Lv. 23 team instead of Lv. 6 team, had two Badges. Someone may wanna check when they upgrade team.
#[[Royal Unova]]'s pre-Champion Easy and Challenge modes info
#[[Big Stadium and Small Court]] - it hardly has any Easy and Challenge modes info.

I wanted to let you know I added my name in the Participants.--[[User:Ethan7|Ethan7]] ([[User talk:Ethan7|talk]]) 01:41, 9 December 2013 (UTC)
: I resigned. That's okay, right? And could I start project trivia? If it is okay.----[[User:Ethan7|Ethan]] ''([[User talk:Ethan|Talk]])'' 20:07, 12 December 2013 (UTC)

== About game development info ==

How about we divide the leftover/unused data found in the code of games and general development info? The articles for the games themselves would contain information on the latter, such as info from comments and interviews with the developers, how long it took to develop the games, etc. Meanwhile the former part would remain as is in either "Development leftovers of <game>" or "Data mining of <game>" (since data mining is actually used by fans and this doesn't have an official title anyway). What do you guys think? [[User:SatoMew2|Sato]][[User talk:SatoMew2|Mew]] 15:38, 26 December 2014 (UTC)

== Titles of core series game articles ==

<ab>I think that for the sake of consistency and simplicity, the titles of core series game articles should all drop the "Version" moniker. First, not having it doesn't make it less official since both official and third-party reliable sources often don't use it. Second, it would help editors since they wouldn't have to add alternative text without the moniker all the time just so that the links are direct to the game articles, not to mention that it would also deprecate a few templates we use for that purpose alone.
For example, the article about the Generation V sequels is titled "Pokémon Black and White Versions 2" instead of simply "Pokémon Black 2 and White 2". An editor that uses templates to directly link to the article as well as alternative text to not include the "Version" moniker has to type in <nowiki>{{game|Black and White|s 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2}}</nowiki> as opposed to <nowiki>{{g|Black 2 and White 2}}</nowiki>, <nowiki>{{pkmn|Black 2 and White 2}}</nowiki>, or the standard Wikilink-style <nowiki>[[Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]]</nowiki>. This shouldn't have to be like this.</ab> [[User:SatoMew2|Sato]][[User talk:SatoMew2|Mew]] 16:00, 26 December 2014 (UTC)
:The official titles of the core series games prior to Pokémon X and Y (Yellow is a special case I'm not going to discuss here) all include "Version" in their official titles. While there are informal situations where it is dropped (even in official circumstances), the correct titles always include "Version". It may be more convenient for that not to be the case, but it unfortunately is. We should not rename articles to less proper titles simply for linking convenience. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 16:08, 26 December 2014 (UTC)
::I wouldn't be suggesting it if it were purely for the sake of convenience. Not using "Version" is not being less official, and even the older Japanese games use "<name> Version" in plain English on certain occasions. It'd still remain official and it'd be consistent with the common official and fan usage. The lead section of articles doesn't have to be changed. [[User:SatoMew2|Sato]][[User talk:SatoMew2|Mew]] 16:13, 26 December 2014 (UTC)
:::Is this worth discussing at this point? I see the move template was added to all the pages, but this discussion is from last December. I think if anyone wants to propose moving all the pages, a new discussion should be started rather than continuing this one, especially considering that SnorlaxMonster already said that the articles shouldn't be moved. [[User:Slimey01|'''slimey''']][[User talk:Slimey01|'''01''']] 21:56, 26 September 2015 (UTC)
::::Yes, it is. Having "Version" just makes things complex, especially when it's not any more official than the titles without the moniker. [[User talk:SatoMew2|サトミュウ (SatoMew)]] 22:55, 26 September 2015 (UTC)
:::::What about something like '''Pokémon Red Version and Blue Version''' and '''Pokémon Black Version 2 and White Version 2'''? It makes the article titles a little longer, but it sounds better than "Pokémon Red and Blue Versions" and ''way'' better than "Black and White Versions 2"{{tt|*|this article title has always been a terrible decision in my opinion}}. We call the PMD1 article "[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]]" and not "Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red and Blue Rescue Teams", so why not keep it consistent?

:::::::It isn't enough. '''Pokémon <name>''' has the same official status as '''Pokémon <name> Version''' so there is no valid reason to not move it. Like Reshii and I said, it would improve consistency. We're not talking about conjectural titles, these are 100% official. Emotional responses like "no because no" don't cut it as justification against the move. [[User talk:SatoMew2|サトミュウ (SatoMew)]] 18:04, 27 September 2015 (UTC)
::::::::Yes, '''Pokémon <name>''' is just as official as '''Pokémon <name> Version''', but if the boxart and a majority of official sources have "VErsion" in the title, then we're going to use what a majority of sources use. We're not going to change it because it makes things easier. Consistency is not valid in this situation, if an official sources uses one thing over the other, we use that.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 03:38, 28 September 2015 (UTC)
:::::::::I still think having "Verions" sounds silly, especially with "Black and White Versions 2" and that "Pokémon Black Version 2 and White Version 2" not only sounds better but more accurately reflects the games' titles. I have both games, and if I were to tell someone that, I would say I own "Black Version 2 and White Version 2, not "Black and White Versions 2"...
