== Aloe, Lillipup ==
Wow 17th talk page. I know speculation is agaist the rules but saying ''it was never explicitly stater that Lillipup evolved'' is like saying that it was never stated the Drew's Roserade, Paul's Tortera and May's Venasaur evolved from their respective pre-evloved forms that belonged to the character, just because Aloe is a more miour character dose not mean we should make exceptions, consider how Herdirer knew the same attacks as Lillipup, bar Giga Impact which synbolised its power gain upon evolution, Just somthing for you to ponder.

==Protection request==
Falk recently made an edit to Ash's Pikachu after I reset the text back to the neutral context, before he started the debate. It won't affect me if the debate is resolved or not, but could you please put a temporary protection, at least for autoconfirmed, on Ash's Pikachu?

== Half-confimed genders ==

When an anime Pokémon has gender that is only confirmed in the dub or via a Nintendo event, should all "it"s be changed to "he"s or "she"s? Specifically, I'm referring to [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Zorua_%28Pok%C3%A9mon%29&action=historysubmit&diff=1346269&oldid=1343133 this edit]. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 06:56, 6 February 2011 (UTC)
:If it is only half-confirmed, yes. It should remain "it". Only when fully confirmed by the Japanese dub is it allowed to be converted to gender specific. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 07:37, 6 February 2011 (UTC)
::In cases where it is confirmed only by the dub, should the gender in the infobox be listed as "unknown" (with a note on the gender in Trivia) or the half-confirmed gender with an asterisk? --[[User:Jda95|'''jda''']][[User talk:Jda95|'''95''']] 10:46, 18 February 2011 (UTC)
:::Yeah. That does sound like a better idea. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 19:24, 18 February 2011 (UTC)

==Need some help==
Since they are protected could you help with updating the name change for Darumaka on the [[List of Japanese Pokémon names]] and [[Chaoboo (Pokémon)]] which are the only ones left. If you want me to do it I will keep an eye out, though right now given the massive amount of new announcements it is less than likely due to the unconfirmed names on other sites. -[[User:Tyler53841|Tyler53841]] 20:44, 6 February 2011 (UTC)

== Abilities (and also Celebi) ==

Hey there KG. :D I was sorta wondering what the verdict is on anime Pokémon that only have one ability in-game. Well more specifically [[Celebi (movie 13)|Celebi]]. It can only have Natural Cure in the games and I was thinking that might be what it used on Zoroark as she "died". What do you think? Or do we need to keep it "until a character flat out says its ability"? [[Typhlosion|★]][[User:Jo The Marten|Jo the Marten]][[Flygon|★]] [[User_talk:Jo The Marten|ಠ_ಠ]] 02:05, 8 February 2011 (UTC)
:Policy is we can't do anything until it has been confirmed in some way. Even if it has only one ability. As seen in M04, Celebi has the ability to revive which is what this Celebi could have done. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 02:09, 8 February 2011 (UTC)

== Moves ==

Hey Kenji...I was wondering something. I remember in an earlier edit of Dawn's Togekiss that the Sky Attack Peck combo image was removed due to it taking up too much space. But I was just wondering...why not put it in the move box? Improvised or not, it's still an attack right? And it takes up less space if it's with the other move images [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] 20:09, 8 February 2011 (UTC)
:If it is not a in-game move, even if combined from two in-game moves, it doesn't go in the box. We don't need that "Togekiss being motherly" or "Togekiss much larger in its debut" pictures. You can get rid of one of those to make space, preferably the "large Togekiss" one as it is better suited for [[DP170]]. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 20:14, 8 February 2011 (UTC)

==Scald==
Nice work on dealing with Scald even though I would edit those bad edits myself. Anyway I was think about putting an invisible note around the trivia section to help so no one who isn't aware of the consensus and is thinking of the term scalding hot for water would write down that trivia note so quickly. -[[User:Tyler53841|Tyler53841]] 02:32, 9 February 2011 (UTC)

Guys, I ''really'' didn't mean to do that. And you guys talking behind my back doesn't help. If you saw my talk page, you would see that I took 30 minutes of my time to kindly respond to this issue, and you guys haven't responded back since. That little trivia about it being a Poison-type move or a Water-type move was there for at least 7 hours (I kept track), and then I saw that it was removed. My first instinct was to add it back, but it kept getting deleted over and over. I thought some random troll was doing all this until I noticed I got a message. It said that I shouldn't be adding something again and again and got a warning. So how does that happen if that trivia was there for more than 7 hours? Why wait on me to do that? Its like you guys were ''luring'' me to do that. And I only joined this Wiki a month ago to help tribue a little.

I can't tell if you're mad at me or not, but please don't assume I did that on purpose. The way you guys typed those responces to me and deleted one of my posts on Scald's talk page made me feel like you guys want to ban me. After all, the good must die young, right? [/scarcasm]

I'm very sorry for all that I done. I didn't mean to vandalize that page. I feel really, really bad now, and I promise not to do that again. I didn't even know that stuff wasn't allowed for triva on moves, abilities, etc.

Thanks for reading. I hope to hear back soon. :(

Would like to see you intervene before anything to serious happens. Have you watch the 13th movie yet?

Hi Kenji-Girl. Can you look at the picture of Prima's Dewgong and tell me if it's using Aurora Beam or Ice Beam? A user keeps insisting it's Ice beam. [[User:Littlmiget123|Littlmiget123]] 20:07, 11 February 2011 (UTC)
:That's a definite Aurora Beam. Ice Beam always forms a ball and then shoots out what looks like lightning bolts in the anime. This is just a straight line, and I think I can see colors in it. Maybe it knows Ice Beam as well, but that's not what it is using in that picture. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 21:39, 11 February 2011 (UTC)

I saw you mention it on a page, but have you been able to see the credits for BW001 and BW002 yet? Everyone is saying Khristine Hvam for Juniper but she sounds like Emily Jenness too me.

:No, I have not seen the credits. Usually the only way to see the credits is when CN streams the episodes online because they flash them really fast during broadcast and only list the main voice actors. But right now, CN.com is still on ''The Brockster Is In!'' so it may be a while before we see these episodes. Truthfully, I don't hear Emily Jenness at all with Professor Juniper.

== My Trivia ==

"[Your trivia has] been less than satisfactory, I hate to tell you. Much of it is unnotable or incorrect and I had to revert most of your edits."

Would you care to tell me specifically what I've said that's incorrect and an explanation of how it is? And you're violating Bulbapedia's policy by removing what I've written on a page without contacting me first.

"The Pink Butterfree is no way shape or form an error. It existed way before gender differences and shiny Pokémon were created. They animators can't foretell the future."

Yes, the Pink Butterfree is an error. Wild-type Butterfree are not pink--just check out the article on Butterfree here on Bulbapedia. The Pink Butterfree is an aberration from the wild-type; therefore, it is an error. Do you not agree?

What do you mean the Pink Butterfree existed way before gender differences and shiny Pokemon? In Episode 21 (Bye Bye Butterfree), Ash's Butterfree was male, and the Pink Butterfree was female. That's a gender difference, is it not? You're the one who's writing incorrect information.

"They animators?" Put whatever you type into a spellcheck before you post it on the site. Once again, you're violating Bulbapedia's rule about having good spelling and grammar.

"And when you see a piece of trivia or an error that is incorrect and is stated in the article, just remove it. Don't put "Actually the first piece of trivia is incorrect" directly in the article as that is very unprofessional. If you want so say something is incorrect, please go to the talk page of the article."

What's unprofessional is removing something that's incorrect rather than writing a correction for it, especially when you haven't checked to see whether what you're removing is really correct or not. That would be what you're doing. And I never said, "Actually the first piece of trivia is incorrect." Don't quote my saying something I never said.

"If you want so say something is incorrect, please go to the talk page of the article."

You should learn to revise what you write if you make mistakes in English so often. This is another violation of Bulbapedia's "Good English" rule.

"One more thing, please be sure you put trivia in the correct article. Duplica and Lt. Surge's nicknames for Ash belong in their articles, not the episode articles."

Who are you to say where trivia belongs. The nicknames I've mentioned were only brought up in the particular episodes that Lt. Surge and Duplica were in. Therefore, the trivia deserves to stay in the articles pertaining to the episodes. If you want to put it in Lt. Surge and Duplica's articles, then go ahead. Actually, it would be a good idea to put it in both the personal articles and the episode articles.

You should really treat your new members better. {{unsigned|ShalashaskaADV}}

::''And you're violating Bulbapedia's policy by removing what I've written on a page without contacting me first.''

:See, when you edit, there's this notice near the "Save page" button that says "'''Please note that all contributions to Bulbapedia may be edited, altered, or removed by other contributors.'''" So no, I do not have to "get your permission" to remove it first. And just so you know, I am the head of Project Anime and it is my duty to have quality control over all articles that are covered by it. That includes episode articles.

::''Yes, the Pink Butterfree is an error. Wild-type Butterfree are not pink--just check out the article on Butterfree here on Bulbapedia. The Pink Butterfree is an aberration from the wild-type; therefore, it is an error. Do you not agree?''

:Games =/= Anime. I'm really not sure what you mean by "Wild-type" but I know that normal Butterfree are white. But everyone in the episode '''specifically''' noted that this Butterfree was different. An error is when they color Ash's hat wrong or something. When it is being used as a plot device, it is far from being an error.

:When I said "gender differences", I meant [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|this]]''. I am fully aware that genders existed in the anime since the beginning. But genders in games did not exist until Generation II and differences did not exist until Generation IV.

::''"They animators?" Put whatever you type into a spellcheck before you post it on the site. Once again, you're violating Bulbapedia's rule about having good spelling and grammar.''

:That really applies only to the articles. Not talk pages. I try to watch what I say but I do have learning disabilities and can sometimes miss minor errors like those. I apologize. But hey, thanks for reminding me.

::''What's unprofessional is removing something that's incorrect rather than writing a correction for it, especially when you haven't checked to see whether what you're removing is really correct or not. That would be what you're doing. And I never said, "Actually the first piece of trivia is incorrect." Don't quote my saying something I never said.''

:I think you really misunderstood me. I was only giving an example, not quoting you. [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=EP026&diff=prev&oldid=1358385 Please look here]. You wrote that the first error is not really an error. It would have been better if you just (A. Removed it or (B. Consulted the talk page.

::''You should learn to revise what you write if you make mistakes in English so often. This is another violation of Bulbapedia's "Good English" rule.''

:lol Okay, cheap shot there. Especially since I was just trying to help you become a better user. No need to point out my grammar mistakes twice.

::''Who are you to say where trivia belongs. The nicknames I've mentioned were only brought up in the particular episodes that Lt. Surge and Duplica were in.

:Ahem, Project Anime leader again. That's who I am. Those would look much better on Lt. Surge's and Duplica's pages. It's more about their character than about the episode. It doesn't need to be on both.

::''You should really treat your new members better.''

:Ditto to you too, pal ;) Except with out the "new" part. It works both ways, ya know. You are reacting '''''way''''' too defensively towards someone trying to help you understand how Bulbapedia works. Please don't take it so personally. I use to submit not so great trivia too when I first started. Without the admins correcting me, I might still be doing it. It's called '''constructive criticism'''. Please learn from it, not bash the one that gave it to you. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 02:22, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

I'm sorry if I did take it too personally, but how do you expect me to react when someone out of the blue tells me that what I've said is not true and calls me unprofessional and deletes what I've written without giving an explanation? Perhaps both of us are at fault here. So, you're the Project Anime leader? It would have been nice if you introduced yourself first before saying all that. Now, as for what you've written, here's my reply:

"So no, I do not have to 'get your permission' to remove it first. And just so you know, I am the head of Project Anime and it is my duty to have quality control over all articles that are covered by it. That includes episode articles."

I never said you needed to get my permission. One of the rules that Carmen posted on my page (a "ground rule") says that instead of having an edit-war, we should talk about what's wrong first before you make any changes. Now, you said most of the trivia facts I wrote were wrong, but you weren't specific on which ones. I'm still awaiting your reply on this. One more thing, if you quote someone inside a quote, you use ' instead of ". I'm not taking cheap shots here; I'm just trying to help you be better at writing.

"But genders in games did not exist until Generation II and differences did not exist until Generation IV."

This is most certainly not true. Nidoran existed in Generation I, and it had different evolution paths, depending whether it was male or female.

"I'm really not sure what you mean by 'Wild-type' but I know that normal Butterfree are white. But everyone in the episode '''specifically''' noted that this Butterfree was different. An error is when they color Ash's hat wrong or something. When it is being used as a plot device, it is far from being an error."

Sorry about the jargon. "Wild-type" is what biologists call a specimen that's natural (i.e. what you find in the wild) as opposed to one that's mutated into something else (one that's unnatural). Anyway, I understand now what you mean by error. I'll keep it in mind the next time I make an edit. That being said, I stand by what I said that the Pink Butterfree being pink is an error because it was irrelevant to the plot. What was relevant was that the Pink Butterfree was a female that Ash's Butterfree was interested in. Consequently, it became a reason for Ash to let his Butterfree go. The fact that the Pink Butterfree was pink had nothing to do with the plot--it was just a tool the storywriters used to help the viewers (us) distinguish the Butterfrees of interest between all the others that were in the episode. I've explained my reasoning, so feel free to delete my edit now if you'd like.

"See, when you edit, there's this notice near the 'Save page' button that says ''''Please note that all contributions to Bulbapedia may be edited, altered, or removed by other contributors.'''' So no, I do not have to 'get your permission' to remove it first. And just so you know, I am the head of Project Anime and it is my duty to have quality control over all articles that are covered by it. That includes episode articles."

Just because you are someone of high status here on Bulbapedia doesn't give you the right to act like a jerk and be discourteous to people who are trying to add more information to the site. Like I said before, you should've messaged me before you made revisions to what I wrote. I didn't say you had to, but the ground rules did (see the top of my discussion page). It's in this way you have acted unprofessionally.

"I use to submit not so great trivia too when I first started. Without the admins correcting me, I might still be doing it. It's called '''constructive criticism'''"

Again I'm coming back to this: What trivia have I written that isn't correct? Constructive critism is not what you gave; you made revisions/deletions to my posts without saying what was wrong. So far, you've only brought up the Pink Butterfree, which is one edit I've made. It's not "most" of what I've written.

"You wrote that the first error is not really an error. It would have been better if you just (A. Removed it or (B. Consulted the talk page"

I'll leave it to you to make the revisions. If what you said was true, and I'm wrong about almost everything I've said, it would be a bad thing if I deleted something that was possibly correct, right?

"Those would look much better on Lt. Surge's and Duplica's pages. It's more about their character than about the episode. It doesn't need to be on both."

I think the nicknames impact the episodes a great deal because they help define the relationship Ash has with the character calling him that. Seeing as how Duplica and Lt. Surge don't appear in any other episodes (as far as I know), then the nicknames are unique to the episodes as well as the characters using them. Thus, it should be on both the personal articles and the episode articles.

To wrap it up, I'd just like to ask that anyone who isn't on the administration or involved with this conversation not get involved? I would appreciate it. --[[User:ShalashaskaADV|ShalashaskaADV]] 03:52, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

This is another violation of Bulbapedia's "Good English" rule." when you were responding to a comment that had nothing to do with grammar.

::''This is most certainly not true. Nidoran existed in Generation I, and it had different evolution paths, depending whether it was male or female.''

:That is pretty much the '''only''' excpetion. I was going to mention that but forgot to. Gender difference did not exist for Butterfree at the time and it also didn't have a gender in Gen I games.

::''That being said, I stand by what I said that the Pink Butterfree being pink is an error because it was irrelevant to the plot.''

:It cannot be an error if it was made purposely by the editors and noted by the characters. And it was part of the plot as that's how they were able to pick it out of the swarm. Otherwise they would have been looking aimlessly for it.

:Now I am finding it hard to believe that you are sincere about your apology. My personal belief, I was never being discourteous to you. All I did was tell you I removed your trivia and to try and improve it. If anything, you were the one that was discourteous to me.

::''Like I said before, you should've messaged me before you made revisions to what I wrote. I didn't say you had to, but the ground rules did (see the top of my discussion page). It's in this way you have acted unprofessionally.''

:I don't have to message you about anything. Read what is stated near the "Save page" button again. And again, you are contradicting yourself. "Oh you don't have to but it's the rules" What? Either I have to or I don't.

:I explained in some of my edit summaries. What I gave you on your page was constructive critism. It just wasn't that detailed. If you wanted more detail, you should have simply asked me.

::''I'll leave it to you to make the revisions. If what you said was true, and I'm wrong about almost everything I've said, it would be a bad thing if I deleted something that was possibly correct, right?''

:But you don't make a note of it on the page itself. I explained that to you already. You go to the talk page. Every page has a talk page. Mentioning on the page itself is just unappealing to look at.

::''I think the nicknames impact the episodes a great deal because they help define the relationship Ash has with the character calling him that. Seeing as how Duplica and Lt.

:Well I don't think it impacts it in the least. And FYI, Duplica does appear in another episode. Duplica isn't the only character who calls Ash "Ashy-boy" anyway. Gary calls him that too.

:So yeah, I don't believe you are truly sorry. You are still under the impression that this is mostly my fault for not explaining every little thing you did wrong when you clearly overreacted. And it isn't just me who is saying it. CoolPikachu! and Carmenstar97 also agree. But I will say that I am sorry for not giving you all the details on what was wrong. At the time, I was busy performing multiple tasks both online and off. I'm going to leave a message on your talk about what was wrong as I don't want to clog up my talk anymore. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 05:20, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

"What you could have done was ask me politely what you did wrong and what my status is instead of saying how wrong I am for not using proper grammar."

What you could have done was to tell me politely that the edits I wrote were incorrect and explained to me in what way they were. The reason I pointed out your bad grammar was to emphasize that you were not following your own guidelines. As a leader in administration, this is something you should do to set a good example for the other users here on Bulbapedia.

"'I never said you needed to get my permission.' This is what you said in your first comment: "And you're violating Bulbapedia's policy by removing what I've written on a page without contacting me first." So... you never said that, huh?"

That's right, I never said you needed my permission. When I said, "... without contacting me first," I was referring to the ground rule that you should message me instead of deleting what I've written without doing so. Again, you should follow the guidelines you set for the rest of the community to set a good example.

"One revert is far from being an edit war. Some of them I explained why I reverted in the edit summary."

You're right, one revert is far from being an edit war. However, it wasn't just one revert; you made revisions on most of the edits I posted, as you've said. In addition, it would've become an edit war had I not known someone was deleting or revising my edits. I looked at some of your other discussion topics, and I saw a similar situation happened with RedLuigi. To prevent pointless edit wars like this in the future, I believe you should take the necessary precautions; that is, politely say who you are and what's wrong with the posts, and let the user take the incorrect posts down himself or herself.

"It cannot be an error if it was made purposely by the editors and noted by the characters. And it was part of the plot as that's how they were able to pick it out of the swarm. Otherwise they would have been looking aimlessly for it."

I see your reasoning, and I agree with you now. It's just a problem with semantics that this little debate with Pink Butterfree happened: I noted the Pink Butterfree as an error because it's inconsistent with what we know what color Butterfree should be. I'm glad we cleared this up.

"Now I am finding it hard to believe that you are sincere about your apology. My personal belief, I was never being discourteous to you. All I did was tell you I removed your trivia and to try and improve it. If anything, you were the one that was discourteous to me."

I really am sorry I overreacted and was discourteous. On the Internet it's very difficult to convey emotions, since we only have text. You'll just have to take my word for it. But you were discourteous, as I said before, since you took action without telling me who you were and why you made the changes you made. If you weren't being discourteous, I wouldn't be making a big deal about it now.

"'One more thing, if you quote someone inside a quote, you use ' instead of ". I'm not taking cheap shots here; I'm just trying to help you be better at writing.' is not the same as ". I was using '' to italicize your comment so that it is easier to see. And yeah, you kind a were when you said "You should learn to revise what you write if you make mistakes in English so often. This is another violation of Bulbapedia's "Good English" rule." when you were responding to a comment that had nothing to do with grammar."

Fine, I was taking a cheap shot when I was noting your bad grammar in my first post because I was upset, but I wasn't the second time. The fact that I'm not pointing out mistakes in your grammar anymore should prove I'm not upset anymore.

"That is pretty much the only excpetion. I was going to mention that but forgot to. Gender difference did not exist for Butterfree at the time and it also didn't have a gender in Gen I games."

Yes, Nidoran is an exception, but it's obviously irrelevant to what we're talking about now. No worries. But the article I edited was on the episode which did feature Butterfree with different genders. The whole plot was building up to the point where Butterfree left Ash in order to mate with the Pink Butterfree. It wouldn't make any sense to think they had the same gender. If this were an article on the game, then yes, I agree you would be absolutely right in saying there's no sexual difference between Butterfree in Generation I.

"I don't have to message you about anything. Read what is stated near the "Save page" button again. And again, you are contradicting yourself. "Oh you don't have to but it's the rules" What? Either I have to or I don't."

No, I'm not contradicting myself. I said you should follow the rules because you're a leader, and you should set a good example for the rest of the community to follow. There are things you have to do, don't have to do, should do, and shouldn't do. What you should or shouldn't do falls under a category called "ethics," and as a leader, I expect you to act according to the guidelines you set for everyone else (I'm referring to the ground rules) and not be "above the law." Erasing things without acting properly will just lead to edit wars as it did with RedLuigi and as it could have with me. You should take precautions in handling these situations as I explained before.

"But you don't make a note of it on the page itself. I explained that to you already. You go to the talk page. Every page has a talk page. Mentioning on the page itself is just unappealing to look at."

I didn't know every page had a talk page. So, when should I make a correction on the main page?

"So yeah, I don't believe you are truly sorry. You are still under the impression that this is mostly my fault for not explaining every little thing you did wrong when you clearly overreacted."

I'm not under the impression that this is mostly your fault. I said at the beginning of my last post on your discussion that I believe we're both at fault, and I wanted to imply by saying that that we both have something to learn from this on how we should act on Bulbapedia. Not to be rude, but I don't care who other people believe to be wrong or right in a situation that concerns only you and me. For all I know, they're siding with you because you're the senior administrator and I'm just a random user, and they're not considering my point of view as well as yours in making their choice.

I understand this is clogging up your discussion page, but please leave it up until we're done talking so we can refer back to what we've said. I'll go look at your comments on my page and reply now on my page. I'm pretty busy during the week with college work, so I won't be able to write so much during that time.

== Half-confimed genders ==

When an anime Pokémon has gender that is only confirmed in the dub or via a Nintendo event, should all "it"s be changed to "he"s or "she"s? Specifically, I'm referring to [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Zorua_%28Pok%C3%A9mon%29&action=historysubmit&diff=1346269&oldid=1343133 this edit]. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 06:56, 6 February 2011 (UTC)
:If it is only half-confirmed, yes. It should remain "it". Only when fully confirmed by the Japanese dub is it allowed to be converted to gender specific. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 07:37, 6 February 2011 (UTC)
::In cases where it is confirmed only by the dub, should the gender in the infobox be listed as "unknown" (with a note on the gender in Trivia) or the half-confirmed gender with an asterisk? --[[User:Jda95|'''jda''']][[User talk:Jda95|'''95''']] 10:46, 18 February 2011 (UTC)

== Abilities (and also Celebi) ==

Hey there KG. :D I was sorta wondering what the verdict is on anime Pokémon that only have one ability in-game. Well more specifically [[Celebi (movie 13)|Celebi]]. It can only have Natural Cure in the games and I was thinking that might be what it used on Zoroark as she "died". What do you think? Or do we need to keep it "until a character flat out says its ability"? [[Typhlosion|★]][[User:Jo The Marten|Jo the Marten]][[Flygon|★]] [[User_talk:Jo The Marten|ಠ_ಠ]] 02:05, 8 February 2011 (UTC)
:Policy is we can't do anything until it has been confirmed in some way. Even if it has only one ability.

== Moves ==

Hey Kenji...I was wondering something. I remember in an earlier edit of Dawn's Togekiss that the Sky Attack Peck combo image was removed due to it taking up too much space. But I was just wondering...why not put it in the move box? Improvised or not, it's still an attack right? And it takes up less space if it's with the other move images [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] 20:09, 8 February 2011 (UTC)
:If it is not a in-game move, even if combined from two in-game moves, it doesn't go in the box. We don't need that "Togekiss being motherly" or "Togekiss much larger in its debut" pictures. You can get rid of one of those to make space, preferably the "large Togekiss" one as it is better suited for [[DP170]]. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 20:14, 8 February 2011 (UTC)

Guys, I ''really'' didn't mean to do that. And you guys talking behind my back doesn't help. If you saw my talk page, you would see that I took 30 minutes of my time to kindly respond to this issue, and you guys haven't responded back since. That little trivia about it being a Poison-type move or a Water-type move was there for at least 7 hours (I kept track), and then I saw that it was removed. My first instinct was to add it back, but it kept getting deleted over and over. I thought some random troll was doing all this until I noticed I got a message. It said that I shouldn't be adding something again and again and got a warning. So how does that happen if that trivia was there for more than 7 hours? Why wait on me to do that? Its like you guys were ''luring'' me to do that. And I only joined this Wiki a month ago to help tribue a little.

I can't tell if you're mad at me or not, but please don't assume I did that on purpose. The way you guys typed those responces to me and deleted one of my posts on Scald's talk page made me feel like you guys want to ban me. After all, the good must die young, right? [/scarcasm]

I'm very sorry for all that I done. I didn't mean to vandalize that page. I feel really, really bad now, and I promise not to do that again. I didn't even know that stuff wasn't allowed for triva on moves, abilities, etc.

Thanks for reading. I hope to hear back soon. :(

== My Trivia ==

"[Your trivia has] been less than satisfactory, I hate to tell you. Much of it is unnotable or incorrect and I had to revert most of your edits."

Would you care to tell me specifically what I've said that's incorrect and an explanation of how it is? And you're violating Bulbapedia's policy by removing what I've written on a page without contacting me first.

"The Pink Butterfree is no way shape or form an error. It existed way before gender differences and shiny Pokémon were created. They animators can't foretell the future."

Yes, the Pink Butterfree is an error. Wild-type Butterfree are not pink--just check out the article on Butterfree here on Bulbapedia. The Pink Butterfree is an aberration from the wild-type; therefore, it is an error. Do you not agree?

What do you mean the Pink Butterfree existed way before gender differences and shiny Pokemon? In Episode 21 (Bye Bye Butterfree), Ash's Butterfree was male, and the Pink Butterfree was female. That's a gender difference, is it not? You're the one who's writing incorrect information.

"They animators?" Put whatever you type into a spellcheck before you post it on the site. Once again, you're violating Bulbapedia's rule about having good spelling and grammar.

"And when you see a piece of trivia or an error that is incorrect and is stated in the article, just remove it. Don't put "Actually the first piece of trivia is incorrect" directly in the article as that is very unprofessional. If you want so say something is incorrect, please go to the talk page of the article."

What's unprofessional is removing something that's incorrect rather than writing a correction for it, especially when you haven't checked to see whether what you're removing is really correct or not. That would be what you're doing. And I never said, "Actually the first piece of trivia is incorrect." Don't quote my saying something I never said.

"If you want so say something is incorrect, please go to the talk page of the article."

You should learn to revise what you write if you make mistakes in English so often. This is another violation of Bulbapedia's "Good English" rule.

"One more thing, please be sure you put trivia in the correct article. Duplica and Lt. Surge's nicknames for Ash belong in their articles, not the episode articles."

Who are you to say where trivia belongs. The nicknames I've mentioned were only brought up in the particular episodes that Lt. Surge and Duplica were in. Therefore, the trivia deserves to stay in the articles pertaining to the episodes. If you want to put it in Lt. Surge and Duplica's articles, then go ahead. Actually, it would be a good idea to put it in both the personal articles and the episode articles.

You should really treat your new members better. {{unsigned|ShalashaskaADV}}

:Games =/= Anime. I'm really not sure what you mean by "Wild-type" but I know that normal Butterfree are white.

I'm sorry if I did take it too personally, but how do you expect me to react when someone out of the blue tells me that what I've said is not true and calls me unprofessional and deletes what I've written without giving an explanation? Perhaps both of us are at fault here. So, you're the Project Anime leader? It would have been nice if you introduced yourself first before saying all that. Now, as for what you've written, here's my reply:

"So no, I do not have to 'get your permission' to remove it first. And just so you know, I am the head of Project Anime and it is my duty to have quality control over all articles that are covered by it. That includes episode articles."

I never said you needed to get my permission. One of the rules that Carmen posted on my page (a "ground rule") says that instead of having an edit-war, we should talk about what's wrong first before you make any changes. Now, you said most of the trivia facts I wrote were wrong, but you weren't specific on which ones. I'm still awaiting your reply on this. One more thing, if you quote someone inside a quote, you use ' instead of ". I'm not taking cheap shots here; I'm just trying to help you be better at writing.

"But genders in games did not exist until Generation II and differences did not exist until Generation IV."

This is most certainly not true. Nidoran existed in Generation I, and it had different evolution paths, depending whether it was male or female.

"I'm really not sure what you mean by 'Wild-type' but I know that normal Butterfree are white. But everyone in the episode '''specifically''' noted that this Butterfree was different. An error is when they color Ash's hat wrong or something. When it is being used as a plot device, it is far from being an error."

Sorry about the jargon. "Wild-type" is what biologists call a specimen that's natural (i.e. what you find in the wild) as opposed to one that's mutated into something else (one that's unnatural). Anyway, I understand now what you mean by error. I'll keep it in mind the next time I make an edit. That being said, I stand by what I said that the Pink Butterfree being pink is an error because it was irrelevant to the plot. What was relevant was that the Pink Butterfree was a female that Ash's Butterfree was interested in. Consequently, it became a reason for Ash to let his Butterfree go. The fact that the Pink Butterfree was pink had nothing to do with the plot--it was just a tool the storywriters used to help the viewers (us) distinguish the Butterfrees of interest between all the others that were in the episode. I've explained my reasoning, so feel free to delete my edit now if you'd like.

"See, when you edit, there's this notice near the 'Save page' button that says ''''Please note that all contributions to Bulbapedia may be edited, altered, or removed by other contributors.'''' So no, I do not have to 'get your permission' to remove it first. And just so you know, I am the head of Project Anime and it is my duty to have quality control over all articles that are covered by it. That includes episode articles."

Just because you are someone of high status here on Bulbapedia doesn't give you the right to act like a jerk and be discourteous to people who are trying to add more information to the site. Like I said before, you should've messaged me before you made revisions to what I wrote. I didn't say you had to, but the ground rules did (see the top of my discussion page). It's in this way you have acted unprofessionally.

"I use to submit not so great trivia too when I first started. Without the admins correcting me, I might still be doing it. It's called '''constructive criticism'''"

Again I'm coming back to this: What trivia have I written that isn't correct? Constructive critism is not what you gave; you made revisions/deletions to my posts without saying what was wrong. So far, you've only brought up the Pink Butterfree, which is one edit I've made. It's not "most" of what I've written.

"You wrote that the first error is not really an error. It would have been better if you just (A. Removed it or (B. Consulted the talk page"

I'll leave it to you to make the revisions. If what you said was true, and I'm wrong about almost everything I've said, it would be a bad thing if I deleted something that was possibly correct, right?

"Those would look much better on Lt. Surge's and Duplica's pages. It's more about their character than about the episode. It doesn't need to be on both."

I think the nicknames impact the episodes a great deal because they help define the relationship Ash has with the character calling him that. Seeing as how Duplica and Lt. Surge don't appear in any other episodes (as far as I know), then the nicknames are unique to the episodes as well as the characters using them. Thus, it should be on both the personal articles and the episode articles.

To wrap it up, I'd just like to ask that anyone who isn't on the administration or involved with this conversation not get involved? I would appreciate it. --[[User:ShalashaskaADV|ShalashaskaADV]] 03:52, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

:I really don't have the time to explain everything. But I'll try to do it in the future. But you really flipped about a simple word of advice. What you could have done was ask me politely what you did wrong and what my status is instead of saying how wrong I am for not using proper grammar.

This is another violation of Bulbapedia's "Good English" rule." when you were responding to a comment that had nothing to do with grammar.

::''This is most certainly not true. Nidoran existed in Generation I, and it had different evolution paths, depending whether it was male or female.''

:That is pretty much the '''only''' excpetion. I was going to mention that but forgot to. Gender difference did not exist for Butterfree at the time and it also didn't have a gender in Gen I games.

::''That being said, I stand by what I said that the Pink Butterfree being pink is an error because it was irrelevant to the plot.''

:It cannot be an error if it was made purposely by the editors and noted by the characters. And it was part of the plot as that's how they were able to pick it out of the swarm. Otherwise they would have been looking aimlessly for it.

::''Just because you are someone of high status here on Bulbapedia doesn't give you the right to act like a jerk and be discourteous to people who are trying to add more information to the site.''

:Now I am finding it hard to believe that you are sincere about your apology. My personal belief, I was never being discourteous to you. All I did was tell you I removed your trivia and to try and improve it. If anything, you were the one that was discourteous to me.

::''Like I said before, you should've messaged me before you made revisions to what I wrote. I didn't say you had to, but the ground rules did (see the top of my discussion page). It's in this way you have acted unprofessionally.''

:I don't have to message you about anything. Read what is stated near the "Save page" button again. And again, you are contradicting yourself. "Oh you don't have to but it's the rules" What? Either I have to or I don't.

::''Again I'm coming back to this: What trivia have I written that isn't correct? Constructive critism is not what you gave; you made revisions/deletions to my posts without saying what was wrong. So far, you've only brought up the Pink Butterfree, which is one edit I've made. It's not "most" of what I've written.''

:I explained in some of my edit summaries. What I gave you on your page was constructive critism. It just wasn't that detailed. If you wanted more detail, you should have simply asked me.

::''I'll leave it to you to make the revisions. If what you said was true, and I'm wrong about almost everything I've said, it would be a bad thing if I deleted something that was possibly correct, right?''

:But you don't make a note of it on the page itself. I explained that to you already. You go to the talk page. Every page has a talk page. Mentioning on the page itself is just unappealing to look at.

::''I think the nicknames impact the episodes a great deal because they help define the relationship Ash has with the character calling him that. Seeing as how Duplica and Lt. Surge don't appear in any other episodes (as far as I know), then the nicknames are unique to the episodes as well as the characters using them. Thus, it should be on both the personal articles and the episode articles.''

:Well I don't think it impacts it in the least. And FYI, Duplica does appear in another episode. Duplica isn't the only character who calls Ash "Ashy-boy" anyway. Gary calls him that too.

:So yeah, I don't believe you are truly sorry. You are still under the impression that this is mostly my fault for not explaining every little thing you did wrong when you clearly overreacted. And it isn't just me who is saying it. CoolPikachu! and Carmenstar97 also agree. But I will say that I am sorry for not giving you all the details on what was wrong. At the time, I was busy performing multiple tasks both online and off. I'm going to leave a message on your talk about what was wrong as I don't want to clog up my talk anymore. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 05:20, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

"What you could have done was ask me politely what you did wrong and what my status is instead of saying how wrong I am for not using proper grammar."

What you could have done was to tell me politely that the edits I wrote were incorrect and explained to me in what way they were. The reason I pointed out your bad grammar was to emphasize that you were not following your own guidelines. As a leader in administration, this is something you should do to set a good example for the other users here on Bulbapedia.

"'I never said you needed to get my permission.' This is what you said in your first comment: "And you're violating Bulbapedia's policy by removing what I've written on a page without contacting me first." So... you never said that, huh?"

That's right, I never said you needed my permission. When I said, "... without contacting me first," I was referring to the ground rule that you should message me instead of deleting what I've written without doing so. Again, you should follow the guidelines you set for the rest of the community to set a good example.

"One revert is far from being an edit war. Some of them I explained why I reverted in the edit summary."

You're right, one revert is far from being an edit war. However, it wasn't just one revert; you made revisions on most of the edits I posted, as you've said. In addition, it would've become an edit war had I not known someone was deleting or revising my edits. I looked at some of your other discussion topics, and I saw a similar situation happened with RedLuigi. To prevent pointless edit wars like this in the future, I believe you should take the necessary precautions; that is, politely say who you are and what's wrong with the posts, and let the user take the incorrect posts down himself or herself.

"It cannot be an error if it was made purposely by the editors and noted by the characters. And it was part of the plot as that's how they were able to pick it out of the swarm. Otherwise they would have been looking aimlessly for it."

I see your reasoning, and I agree with you now. It's just a problem with semantics that this little debate with Pink Butterfree happened: I noted the Pink Butterfree as an error because it's inconsistent with what we know what color Butterfree should be. I'm glad we cleared this up.

"Now I am finding it hard to believe that you are sincere about your apology. My personal belief, I was never being discourteous to you. All I did was tell you I removed your trivia and to try and improve it. If anything, you were the one that was discourteous to me."

I really am sorry I overreacted and was discourteous. On the Internet it's very difficult to convey emotions, since we only have text. You'll just have to take my word for it. But you were discourteous, as I said before, since you took action without telling me who you were and why you made the changes you made. If you weren't being discourteous, I wouldn't be making a big deal about it now.

"'One more thing, if you quote someone inside a quote, you use ' instead of ". I'm not taking cheap shots here; I'm just trying to help you be better at writing.' is not the same as ". I was using '' to italicize your comment so that it is easier to see. And yeah, you kind a were when you said "You should learn to revise what you write if you make mistakes in English so often. This is another violation of Bulbapedia's "Good English" rule." when you were responding to a comment that had nothing to do with grammar."

Fine, I was taking a cheap shot when I was noting your bad grammar in my first post because I was upset, but I wasn't the second time. The fact that I'm not pointing out mistakes in your grammar anymore should prove I'm not upset anymore.

"That is pretty much the only excpetion. I was going to mention that but forgot to. Gender difference did not exist for Butterfree at the time and it also didn't have a gender in Gen I games."

Yes, Nidoran is an exception, but it's obviously irrelevant to what we're talking about now. No worries. But the article I edited was on the episode which did feature Butterfree with different genders. The whole plot was building up to the point where Butterfree left Ash in order to mate with the Pink Butterfree. It wouldn't make any sense to think they had the same gender. If this were an article on the game, then yes, I agree you would be absolutely right in saying there's no sexual difference between Butterfree in Generation I.

"I don't have to message you about anything. Read what is stated near the "Save page" button again. And again, you are contradicting yourself. "Oh you don't have to but it's the rules" What? Either I have to or I don't."

No, I'm not contradicting myself. I said you should follow the rules because you're a leader, and you should set a good example for the rest of the community to follow. There are things you have to do, don't have to do, should do, and shouldn't do. What you should or shouldn't do falls under a category called "ethics," and as a leader, I expect you to act according to the guidelines you set for everyone else (I'm referring to the ground rules) and not be "above the law." Erasing things without acting properly will just lead to edit wars as it did with RedLuigi and as it could have with me. You should take precautions in handling these situations as I explained before.

"But you don't make a note of it on the page itself. I explained that to you already. You go to the talk page. Every page has a talk page. Mentioning on the page itself is just unappealing to look at."

I didn't know every page had a talk page. So, when should I make a correction on the main page?

"So yeah, I don't believe you are truly sorry. You are still under the impression that this is mostly my fault for not explaining every little thing you did wrong when you clearly overreacted."

I'm not under the impression that this is mostly your fault. I said at the beginning of my last post on your discussion that I believe we're both at fault, and I wanted to imply by saying that that we both have something to learn from this on how we should act on Bulbapedia. Not to be rude, but I don't care who other people believe to be wrong or right in a situation that concerns only you and me. For all I know, they're siding with you because you're the senior administrator and I'm just a random user, and they're not considering my point of view as well as yours in making their choice.

I understand this is clogging up your discussion page, but please leave it up until we're done talking so we can refer back to what we've said. I'll go look at your comments on my page and reply now on my page. I'm pretty busy during the week with college work, so I won't be able to write so much during that time.

When an anime Pokémon has gender that is only confirmed in the dub or via a Nintendo event, should all "it"s be changed to "he"s or "she"s?

And it takes up less space if it's with the other move images [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] 20:09, 8 February 2011 (UTC)
:If it is not a in-game move, even if combined from two in-game moves, it doesn't go in the box. We don't need that "Togekiss being motherly" or "Togekiss much larger in its debut" pictures. You can get rid of one of those to make space, preferably the "large Togekiss" one as it is better suited for [[DP170]]. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 20:14, 8 February 2011 (UTC)

==Scald==
Nice work on dealing with Scald even though I would edit those bad edits myself.

Guys, I ''really'' didn't mean to do that. And you guys talking behind my back doesn't help. If you saw my talk page, you would see that I took 30 minutes of my time to kindly respond to this issue, and you guys haven't responded back since. That little trivia about it being a Poison-type move or a Water-type move was there for at least 7 hours (I kept track), and then I saw that it was removed. My first instinct was to add it back, but it kept getting deleted over and over. I thought some random troll was doing all this until I noticed I got a message. It said that I shouldn't be adding something again and again and got a warning. So how does that happen if that trivia was there for more than 7 hours? Why wait on me to do that? Its like you guys were ''luring'' me to do that. And I only joined this Wiki a month ago to help tribue a little.

I can't tell if you're mad at me or not, but please don't assume I did that on purpose. The way you guys typed those responces to me and deleted one of my posts on Scald's talk page made me feel like you guys want to ban me. After all, the good must die young, right? [/scarcasm]

I'm very sorry for all that I done. I didn't mean to vandalize that page. I feel really, really bad now, and I promise not to do that again. I didn't even know that stuff wasn't allowed for triva on moves, abilities, etc.

Thanks for reading. I hope to hear back soon. :(

Hi Kenji-Girl. Can you look at the picture of Prima's Dewgong and tell me if it's using Aurora Beam or Ice Beam? A user keeps insisting it's Ice beam. [[User:Littlmiget123|Littlmiget123]] 20:07, 11 February 2011 (UTC)
:That's a definite Aurora Beam. Ice Beam always forms a ball and then shoots out what looks like lightning bolts in the anime. This is just a straight line, and I think I can see colors in it.

I saw you mention it on a page, but have you been able to see the credits for BW001 and BW002 yet? Everyone is saying Khristine Hvam for Juniper but she sounds like Emily Jenness too me.

:No, I have not seen the credits. Usually the only way to see the credits is when CN streams the episodes online because they flash them really fast during broadcast and only list the main voice actors. But right now, CN.com is still on ''The Brockster Is In!'' so it may be a while before we see these episodes. Truthfully, I don't hear Emily Jenness at all with Professor Juniper.

== My Trivia ==

"[Your trivia has] been less than satisfactory, I hate to tell you. Much of it is unnotable or incorrect and I had to revert most of your edits."

Would you care to tell me specifically what I've said that's incorrect and an explanation of how it is? And you're violating Bulbapedia's policy by removing what I've written on a page without contacting me first.

"The Pink Butterfree is no way shape or form an error. It existed way before gender differences and shiny Pokémon were created. They animators can't foretell the future."

Yes, the Pink Butterfree is an error. Wild-type Butterfree are not pink--just check out the article on Butterfree here on Bulbapedia. The Pink Butterfree is an aberration from the wild-type; therefore, it is an error. Do you not agree?

What do you mean the Pink Butterfree existed way before gender differences and shiny Pokemon? In Episode 21 (Bye Bye Butterfree), Ash's Butterfree was male, and the Pink Butterfree was female. That's a gender difference, is it not? You're the one who's writing incorrect information.

"They animators?" Put whatever you type into a spellcheck before you post it on the site. Once again, you're violating Bulbapedia's rule about having good spelling and grammar.

"And when you see a piece of trivia or an error that is incorrect and is stated in the article, just remove it. Don't put "Actually the first piece of trivia is incorrect" directly in the article as that is very unprofessional. If you want so say something is incorrect, please go to the talk page of the article."

What's unprofessional is removing something that's incorrect rather than writing a correction for it, especially when you haven't checked to see whether what you're removing is really correct or not. That would be what you're doing. And I never said, "Actually the first piece of trivia is incorrect." Don't quote my saying something I never said.

"If you want so say something is incorrect, please go to the talk page of the article."

You should learn to revise what you write if you make mistakes in English so often. This is another violation of Bulbapedia's "Good English" rule.

"One more thing, please be sure you put trivia in the correct article. Duplica and Lt. Surge's nicknames for Ash belong in their articles, not the episode articles."

Who are you to say where trivia belongs. The nicknames I've mentioned were only brought up in the particular episodes that Lt. Surge and Duplica were in. Therefore, the trivia deserves to stay in the articles pertaining to the episodes. If you want to put it in Lt. Surge and Duplica's articles, then go ahead. Actually, it would be a good idea to put it in both the personal articles and the episode articles.

You should really treat your new members better. {{unsigned|ShalashaskaADV}}

::''And you're violating Bulbapedia's policy by removing what I've written on a page without contacting me first.''

:See, when you edit, there's this notice near the "Save page" button that says "'''Please note that all contributions to Bulbapedia may be edited, altered, or removed by other contributors.'''" So no, I do not have to "get your permission" to remove it first. And just so you know, I am the head of Project Anime and it is my duty to have quality control over all articles that are covered by it. That includes episode articles.

::''Yes, the Pink Butterfree is an error. Wild-type Butterfree are not pink--just check out the article on Butterfree here on Bulbapedia. The Pink Butterfree is an aberration from the wild-type; therefore, it is an error. Do you not agree?''

:Games =/= Anime. I'm really not sure what you mean by "Wild-type" but I know that normal Butterfree are white. But everyone in the episode '''specifically''' noted that this Butterfree was different. An error is when they color Ash's hat wrong or something. When it is being used as a plot device, it is far from being an error.

:When I said "gender differences", I meant [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|this]]''. I am fully aware that genders existed in the anime since the beginning. But genders in games did not exist until Generation II and differences did not exist until Generation IV.

::''"They animators?" Put whatever you type into a spellcheck before you post it on the site. Once again, you're violating Bulbapedia's rule about having good spelling and grammar.''

:That really applies only to the articles. Not talk pages. I try to watch what I say but I do have learning disabilities and can sometimes miss minor errors like those. I apologize. But hey, thanks for reminding me.

::''What's unprofessional is removing something that's incorrect rather than writing a correction for it, especially when you haven't checked to see whether what you're removing is really correct or not. That would be what you're doing. And I never said, "Actually the first piece of trivia is incorrect." Don't quote my saying something I never said.''

:I think you really misunderstood me. I was only giving an example, not quoting you. [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=EP026&diff=prev&oldid=1358385 Please look here].

::''You should learn to revise what you write if you make mistakes in English so often. This is another violation of Bulbapedia's "Good English" rule.''

:lol Okay, cheap shot there. Especially since I was just trying to help you become a better user. No need to point out my grammar mistakes twice.

::''Who are you to say where trivia belongs. The nicknames I've mentioned were only brought up in the particular episodes that Lt. Surge and Duplica were in.

:Ahem, Project Anime leader again. That's who I am. Those would look much better on Lt. Surge's and Duplica's pages. It's more about their character than about the episode. It doesn't need to be on both.

::''You should really treat your new members better.''

:Ditto to you too, pal ;) Except with out the "new" part. It works both ways, ya know. You are reacting '''''way''''' too defensively towards someone trying to help you understand how Bulbapedia works. Please don't take it so personally. I use to submit not so great trivia too when I first started. Without the admins correcting me, I might still be doing it. It's called '''constructive criticism'''. Please learn from it, not bash the one that gave it to you. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 02:22, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

I'm sorry if I did take it too personally, but how do you expect me to react when someone out of the blue tells me that what I've said is not true and calls me unprofessional and deletes what I've written without giving an explanation? Perhaps both of us are at fault here. So, you're the Project Anime leader? It would have been nice if you introduced yourself first before saying all that. Now, as for what you've written, here's my reply:

"So no, I do not have to 'get your permission' to remove it first. And just so you know, I am the head of Project Anime and it is my duty to have quality control over all articles that are covered by it. That includes episode articles."

I never said you needed to get my permission. One of the rules that Carmen posted on my page (a "ground rule") says that instead of having an edit-war, we should talk about what's wrong first before you make any changes. Now, you said most of the trivia facts I wrote were wrong, but you weren't specific on which ones. I'm still awaiting your reply on this. One more thing, if you quote someone inside a quote, you use ' instead of ". I'm not taking cheap shots here; I'm just trying to help you be better at writing.

"But genders in games did not exist until Generation II and differences did not exist until Generation IV."

This is most certainly not true. Nidoran existed in Generation I, and it had different evolution paths, depending whether it was male or female.

"I'm really not sure what you mean by 'Wild-type' but I know that normal Butterfree are white. But everyone in the episode '''specifically''' noted that this Butterfree was different. An error is when they color Ash's hat wrong or something. When it is being used as a plot device, it is far from being an error."

Sorry about the jargon. "Wild-type" is what biologists call a specimen that's natural (i.e. what you find in the wild) as opposed to one that's mutated into something else (one that's unnatural). Anyway, I understand now what you mean by error. I'll keep it in mind the next time I make an edit. That being said, I stand by what I said that the Pink Butterfree being pink is an error because it was irrelevant to the plot. What was relevant was that the Pink Butterfree was a female that Ash's Butterfree was interested in. Consequently, it became a reason for Ash to let his Butterfree go. The fact that the Pink Butterfree was pink had nothing to do with the plot--it was just a tool the storywriters used to help the viewers (us) distinguish the Butterfrees of interest between all the others that were in the episode. I've explained my reasoning, so feel free to delete my edit now if you'd like.

"See, when you edit, there's this notice near the 'Save page' button that says ''''Please note that all contributions to Bulbapedia may be edited, altered, or removed by other contributors.'''' So no, I do not have to 'get your permission' to remove it first. And just so you know, I am the head of Project Anime and it is my duty to have quality control over all articles that are covered by it. That includes episode articles."

Just because you are someone of high status here on Bulbapedia doesn't give you the right to act like a jerk and be discourteous to people who are trying to add more information to the site. Like I said before, you should've messaged me before you made revisions to what I wrote. I didn't say you had to, but the ground rules did (see the top of my discussion page). It's in this way you have acted unprofessionally.

"I use to submit not so great trivia too when I first started. Without the admins correcting me, I might still be doing it. It's called '''constructive criticism'''"

Again I'm coming back to this: What trivia have I written that isn't correct? Constructive critism is not what you gave; you made revisions/deletions to my posts without saying what was wrong. So far, you've only brought up the Pink Butterfree, which is one edit I've made. It's not "most" of what I've written.

"You wrote that the first error is not really an error. It would have been better if you just (A. Removed it or (B. Consulted the talk page"

I'll leave it to you to make the revisions. If what you said was true, and I'm wrong about almost everything I've said, it would be a bad thing if I deleted something that was possibly correct, right?

"Those would look much better on Lt. Surge's and Duplica's pages. It's more about their character than about the episode. It doesn't need to be on both."

I think the nicknames impact the episodes a great deal because they help define the relationship Ash has with the character calling him that. Seeing as how Duplica and Lt. Surge don't appear in any other episodes (as far as I know), then the nicknames are unique to the episodes as well as the characters using them. Thus, it should be on both the personal articles and the episode articles.

To wrap it up, I'd just like to ask that anyone who isn't on the administration or involved with this conversation not get involved? I would appreciate it. --[[User:ShalashaskaADV|ShalashaskaADV]] 03:52, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

::''This is most certainly not true. Nidoran existed in Generation I, and it had different evolution paths, depending whether it was male or female.''

:That is pretty much the '''only''' excpetion. I was going to mention that but forgot to. Gender difference did not exist for Butterfree at the time and it also didn't have a gender in Gen I games.

::''That being said, I stand by what I said that the Pink Butterfree being pink is an error because it was irrelevant to the plot.''

::''Just because you are someone of high status here on Bulbapedia doesn't give you the right to act like a jerk and be discourteous to people who are trying to add more information to the site.''

:Now I am finding it hard to believe that you are sincere about your apology. My personal belief, I was never being discourteous to you. All I did was tell you I removed your trivia and to try and improve it. If anything, you were the one that was discourteous to me.

::''Like I said before, you should've messaged me before you made revisions to what I wrote. I didn't say you had to, but the ground rules did (see the top of my discussion page). It's in this way you have acted unprofessionally.''

::''I'll leave it to you to make the revisions. If what you said was true, and I'm wrong about almost everything I've said, it would be a bad thing if I deleted something that was possibly correct, right?''

:But you don't make a note of it on the page itself. I explained that to you already. You go to the talk page. Every page has a talk page. Mentioning on the page itself is just unappealing to look at.

::''I think the nicknames impact the episodes a great deal because they help define the relationship Ash has with the character calling him that. Seeing as how Duplica and Lt.

:Well I don't think it impacts it in the least. And FYI, Duplica does appear in another episode. Duplica isn't the only character who calls Ash "Ashy-boy" anyway. Gary calls him that too.

"What you could have done was ask me politely what you did wrong and what my status is instead of saying how wrong I am for not using proper grammar."

What you could have done was to tell me politely that the edits I wrote were incorrect and explained to me in what way they were. The reason I pointed out your bad grammar was to emphasize that you were not following your own guidelines. As a leader in administration, this is something you should do to set a good example for the other users here on Bulbapedia.

"'I never said you needed to get my permission.' This is what you said in your first comment: "And you're violating Bulbapedia's policy by removing what I've written on a page without contacting me first." So... you never said that, huh?"

That's right, I never said you needed my permission. When I said, "... without contacting me first," I was referring to the ground rule that you should message me instead of deleting what I've written without doing so. Again, you should follow the guidelines you set for the rest of the community to set a good example.

"One revert is far from being an edit war. Some of them I explained why I reverted in the edit summary."

You're right, one revert is far from being an edit war. However, it wasn't just one revert; you made revisions on most of the edits I posted, as you've said. In addition, it would've become an edit war had I not known someone was deleting or revising my edits. I looked at some of your other discussion topics, and I saw a similar situation happened with RedLuigi. To prevent pointless edit wars like this in the future, I believe you should take the necessary precautions; that is, politely say who you are and what's wrong with the posts, and let the user take the incorrect posts down himself or herself.

"It cannot be an error if it was made purposely by the editors and noted by the characters. And it was part of the plot as that's how they were able to pick it out of the swarm. Otherwise they would have been looking aimlessly for it."

I see your reasoning, and I agree with you now. It's just a problem with semantics that this little debate with Pink Butterfree happened: I noted the Pink Butterfree as an error because it's inconsistent with what we know what color Butterfree should be. I'm glad we cleared this up.

"Now I am finding it hard to believe that you are sincere about your apology. My personal belief, I was never being discourteous to you. All I did was tell you I removed your trivia and to try and improve it. If anything, you were the one that was discourteous to me."

I really am sorry I overreacted and was discourteous. On the Internet it's very difficult to convey emotions, since we only have text. You'll just have to take my word for it. But you were discourteous, as I said before, since you took action without telling me who you were and why you made the changes you made. If you weren't being discourteous, I wouldn't be making a big deal about it now.

"'One more thing, if you quote someone inside a quote, you use ' instead of ". I'm not taking cheap shots here; I'm just trying to help you be better at writing.' is not the same as ". I was using '' to italicize your comment so that it is easier to see. And yeah, you kind a were when you said "You should learn to revise what you write if you make mistakes in English so often.

Fine, I was taking a cheap shot when I was noting your bad grammar in my first post because I was upset, but I wasn't the second time. The fact that I'm not pointing out mistakes in your grammar anymore should prove I'm not upset anymore.

"That is pretty much the only excpetion. I was going to mention that but forgot to. Gender difference did not exist for Butterfree at the time and it also didn't have a gender in Gen I games."

Yes, Nidoran is an exception, but it's obviously irrelevant to what we're talking about now. No worries. But the article I edited was on the episode which did feature Butterfree with different genders. The whole plot was building up to the point where Butterfree left Ash in order to mate with the Pink Butterfree. It wouldn't make any sense to think they had the same gender. If this were an article on the game, then yes, I agree you would be absolutely right in saying there's no sexual difference between Butterfree in Generation I.

"I don't have to message you about anything. Read what is stated near the "Save page" button again. And again, you are contradicting yourself. "Oh you don't have to but it's the rules" What? Either I have to or I don't."

No, I'm not contradicting myself. I said you should follow the rules because you're a leader, and you should set a good example for the rest of the community to follow. There are things you have to do, don't have to do, should do, and shouldn't do. What you should or shouldn't do falls under a category called "ethics," and as a leader, I expect you to act according to the guidelines you set for everyone else (I'm referring to the ground rules) and not be "above the law." Erasing things without acting properly will just lead to edit wars as it did with RedLuigi and as it could have with me. You should take precautions in handling these situations as I explained before.

"But you don't make a note of it on the page itself. I explained that to you already. You go to the talk page. Every page has a talk page. Mentioning on the page itself is just unappealing to look at."

I didn't know every page had a talk page. So, when should I make a correction on the main page?

"So yeah, I don't believe you are truly sorry. You are still under the impression that this is mostly my fault for not explaining every little thing you did wrong when you clearly overreacted."

I'm not under the impression that this is mostly your fault. I said at the beginning of my last post on your discussion that I believe we're both at fault, and I wanted to imply by saying that that we both have something to learn from this on how we should act on Bulbapedia. Not to be rude, but I don't care who other people believe to be wrong or right in a situation that concerns only you and me. For all I know, they're siding with you because you're the senior administrator and I'm just a random user, and they're not considering my point of view as well as yours in making their choice.

I understand this is clogging up your discussion page, but please leave it up until we're done talking so we can refer back to what we've said. I'll go look at your comments on my page and reply now on my page. I'm pretty busy during the week with college work, so I won't be able to write so much during that time.

== Half-confimed genders ==

When an anime Pokémon has gender that is only confirmed in the dub or via a Nintendo event, should all "it"s be changed to "he"s or "she"s? Specifically, I'm referring to [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Zorua_%28Pok%C3%A9mon%29&action=historysubmit&diff=1346269&oldid=1343133 this edit]. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 06:56, 6 February 2011 (UTC)

Hey Kenji...I was wondering something. I remember in an earlier edit of Dawn's Togekiss that the Sky Attack Peck combo image was removed due to it taking up too much space.

And it takes up less space if it's with the other move images [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] 20:09, 8 February 2011 (UTC)
:If it is not a in-game move, even if combined from two in-game moves, it doesn't go in the box. We don't need that "Togekiss being motherly" or "Togekiss much larger in its debut" pictures.

Guys, I ''really'' didn't mean to do that. And you guys talking behind my back doesn't help. If you saw my talk page, you would see that I took 30 minutes of my time to kindly respond to this issue, and you guys haven't responded back since. That little trivia about it being a Poison-type move or a Water-type move was there for at least 7 hours (I kept track), and then I saw that it was removed. My first instinct was to add it back, but it kept getting deleted over and over. I thought some random troll was doing all this until I noticed I got a message. It said that I shouldn't be adding something again and again and got a warning. So how does that happen if that trivia was there for more than 7 hours? Why wait on me to do that? Its like you guys were ''luring'' me to do that. And I only joined this Wiki a month ago to help tribue a little.

I can't tell if you're mad at me or not, but please don't assume I did that on purpose. The way you guys typed those responces to me and deleted one of my posts on Scald's talk page made me feel like you guys want to ban me. After all, the good must die young, right? [/scarcasm]

I'm very sorry for all that I done. I didn't mean to vandalize that page. I feel really, really bad now, and I promise not to do that again. I didn't even know that stuff wasn't allowed for triva on moves, abilities, etc.

Thanks for reading. I hope to hear back soon. :(

== My Trivia ==

"[Your trivia has] been less than satisfactory, I hate to tell you. Much of it is unnotable or incorrect and I had to revert most of your edits."

Would you care to tell me specifically what I've said that's incorrect and an explanation of how it is? And you're violating Bulbapedia's policy by removing what I've written on a page without contacting me first.

"The Pink Butterfree is no way shape or form an error. It existed way before gender differences and shiny Pokémon were created. They animators can't foretell the future."

Yes, the Pink Butterfree is an error. Wild-type Butterfree are not pink--just check out the article on Butterfree here on Bulbapedia. The Pink Butterfree is an aberration from the wild-type; therefore, it is an error. Do you not agree?

What do you mean the Pink Butterfree existed way before gender differences and shiny Pokemon? In Episode 21 (Bye Bye Butterfree), Ash's Butterfree was male, and the Pink Butterfree was female. That's a gender difference, is it not? You're the one who's writing incorrect information.

"They animators?" Put whatever you type into a spellcheck before you post it on the site. Once again, you're violating Bulbapedia's rule about having good spelling and grammar.

"And when you see a piece of trivia or an error that is incorrect and is stated in the article, just remove it. Don't put "Actually the first piece of trivia is incorrect" directly in the article as that is very unprofessional. If you want so say something is incorrect, please go to the talk page of the article."

What's unprofessional is removing something that's incorrect rather than writing a correction for it, especially when you haven't checked to see whether what you're removing is really correct or not. That would be what you're doing. And I never said, "Actually the first piece of trivia is incorrect." Don't quote my saying something I never said.

"If you want so say something is incorrect, please go to the talk page of the article."

You should learn to revise what you write if you make mistakes in English so often. This is another violation of Bulbapedia's "Good English" rule.

"One more thing, please be sure you put trivia in the correct article. Duplica and Lt. Surge's nicknames for Ash belong in their articles, not the episode articles."

Who are you to say where trivia belongs. The nicknames I've mentioned were only brought up in the particular episodes that Lt. Surge and Duplica were in. Therefore, the trivia deserves to stay in the articles pertaining to the episodes. If you want to put it in Lt. Surge and Duplica's articles, then go ahead. Actually, it would be a good idea to put it in both the personal articles and the episode articles.

You should really treat your new members better. {{unsigned|ShalashaskaADV}}

::''And you're violating Bulbapedia's policy by removing what I've written on a page without contacting me first.''

:See, when you edit, there's this notice near the "Save page" button that says "'''Please note that all contributions to Bulbapedia may be edited, altered, or removed by other contributors.'''" So no, I do not have to "get your permission" to remove it first. And just so you know, I am the head of Project Anime and it is my duty to have quality control over all articles that are covered by it. That includes episode articles.

::''Yes, the Pink Butterfree is an error. Wild-type Butterfree are not pink--just check out the article on Butterfree here on Bulbapedia. The Pink Butterfree is an aberration from the wild-type; therefore, it is an error. Do you not agree?''

:Games =/= Anime. I'm really not sure what you mean by "Wild-type" but I know that normal Butterfree are white. But everyone in the episode '''specifically''' noted that this Butterfree was different. An error is when they color Ash's hat wrong or something. When it is being used as a plot device, it is far from being an error.

:When I said "gender differences", I meant [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|this]]''. I am fully aware that genders existed in the anime since the beginning. But genders in games did not exist until Generation II and differences did not exist until Generation IV.

::''"They animators?" Put whatever you type into a spellcheck before you post it on the site. Once again, you're violating Bulbapedia's rule about having good spelling and grammar.''

:That really applies only to the articles. Not talk pages. I try to watch what I say but I do have learning disabilities and can sometimes miss minor errors like those. I apologize. But hey, thanks for reminding me.

::''What's unprofessional is removing something that's incorrect rather than writing a correction for it, especially when you haven't checked to see whether what you're removing is really correct or not. That would be what you're doing. And I never said, "Actually the first piece of trivia is incorrect." Don't quote my saying something I never said.''

:I think you really misunderstood me. I was only giving an example, not quoting you. [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=EP026&diff=prev&oldid=1358385 Please look here]. You wrote that the first error is not really an error. It would have been better if you just (A. Removed it or (B. Consulted the talk page.

::''You should learn to revise what you write if you make mistakes in English so often. This is another violation of Bulbapedia's "Good English" rule.''

:lol Okay, cheap shot there. Especially since I was just trying to help you become a better user. No need to point out my grammar mistakes twice.

::''Who are you to say where trivia belongs. The nicknames I've mentioned were only brought up in the particular episodes that Lt. Surge and Duplica were in.

:Ahem, Project Anime leader again. That's who I am. Those would look much better on Lt. Surge's and Duplica's pages. It's more about their character than about the episode. It doesn't need to be on both.

::''You should really treat your new members better.''

:Ditto to you too, pal ;) Except with out the "new" part. It works both ways, ya know. You are reacting '''''way''''' too defensively towards someone trying to help you understand how Bulbapedia works. Please don't take it so personally. I use to submit not so great trivia too when I first started. Without the admins correcting me, I might still be doing it. It's called '''constructive criticism'''. Please learn from it, not bash the one that gave it to you. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 02:22, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

I'm sorry if I did take it too personally, but how do you expect me to react when someone out of the blue tells me that what I've said is not true and calls me unprofessional and deletes what I've written without giving an explanation? Perhaps both of us are at fault here. So, you're the Project Anime leader? It would have been nice if you introduced yourself first before saying all that. Now, as for what you've written, here's my reply:

"So no, I do not have to 'get your permission' to remove it first. And just so you know, I am the head of Project Anime and it is my duty to have quality control over all articles that are covered by it. That includes episode articles."

I never said you needed to get my permission. One of the rules that Carmen posted on my page (a "ground rule") says that instead of having an edit-war, we should talk about what's wrong first before you make any changes. Now, you said most of the trivia facts I wrote were wrong, but you weren't specific on which ones. I'm still awaiting your reply on this. One more thing, if you quote someone inside a quote, you use ' instead of ". I'm not taking cheap shots here; I'm just trying to help you be better at writing.

"But genders in games did not exist until Generation II and differences did not exist until Generation IV."

This is most certainly not true. Nidoran existed in Generation I, and it had different evolution paths, depending whether it was male or female.

"I'm really not sure what you mean by 'Wild-type' but I know that normal Butterfree are white. But everyone in the episode '''specifically''' noted that this Butterfree was different. An error is when they color Ash's hat wrong or something. When it is being used as a plot device, it is far from being an error."

Sorry about the jargon. "Wild-type" is what biologists call a specimen that's natural (i.e. what you find in the wild) as opposed to one that's mutated into something else (one that's unnatural). Anyway, I understand now what you mean by error. I'll keep it in mind the next time I make an edit. That being said, I stand by what I said that the Pink Butterfree being pink is an error because it was irrelevant to the plot. What was relevant was that the Pink Butterfree was a female that Ash's Butterfree was interested in. Consequently, it became a reason for Ash to let his Butterfree go. The fact that the Pink Butterfree was pink had nothing to do with the plot--it was just a tool the storywriters used to help the viewers (us) distinguish the Butterfrees of interest between all the others that were in the episode. I've explained my reasoning, so feel free to delete my edit now if you'd like.

"See, when you edit, there's this notice near the 'Save page' button that says ''''Please note that all contributions to Bulbapedia may be edited, altered, or removed by other contributors.'''' So no, I do not have to 'get your permission' to remove it first. And just so you know, I am the head of Project Anime and it is my duty to have quality control over all articles that are covered by it. That includes episode articles."

Just because you are someone of high status here on Bulbapedia doesn't give you the right to act like a jerk and be discourteous to people who are trying to add more information to the site. Like I said before, you should've messaged me before you made revisions to what I wrote. I didn't say you had to, but the ground rules did (see the top of my discussion page). It's in this way you have acted unprofessionally.

"I use to submit not so great trivia too when I first started. Without the admins correcting me, I might still be doing it. It's called '''constructive criticism'''"

Again I'm coming back to this: What trivia have I written that isn't correct? Constructive critism is not what you gave; you made revisions/deletions to my posts without saying what was wrong. So far, you've only brought up the Pink Butterfree, which is one edit I've made. It's not "most" of what I've written.

"You wrote that the first error is not really an error. It would have been better if you just (A. Removed it or (B. Consulted the talk page"

I'll leave it to you to make the revisions. If what you said was true, and I'm wrong about almost everything I've said, it would be a bad thing if I deleted something that was possibly correct, right?

"Those would look much better on Lt. Surge's and Duplica's pages. It's more about their character than about the episode. It doesn't need to be on both."

I think the nicknames impact the episodes a great deal because they help define the relationship Ash has with the character calling him that. Seeing as how Duplica and Lt. Surge don't appear in any other episodes (as far as I know), then the nicknames are unique to the episodes as well as the characters using them. Thus, it should be on both the personal articles and the episode articles.

To wrap it up, I'd just like to ask that anyone who isn't on the administration or involved with this conversation not get involved? I would appreciate it. --[[User:ShalashaskaADV|ShalashaskaADV]] 03:52, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

:I really don't have the time to explain everything. But I'll try to do it in the future. But you really flipped about a simple word of advice. What you could have done was ask me politely what you did wrong and what my status is instead of saying how wrong I am for not using proper grammar.

And yeah, you kind a were when you said "You should learn to revise what you write if you make mistakes in English so often. This is another violation of Bulbapedia's "Good English" rule." when you were responding to a comment that had nothing to do with grammar.

::''This is most certainly not true. Nidoran existed in Generation I, and it had different evolution paths, depending whether it was male or female.''

:That is pretty much the '''only''' excpetion. I was going to mention that but forgot to. Gender difference did not exist for Butterfree at the time and it also didn't have a gender in Gen I games.

::''That being said, I stand by what I said that the Pink Butterfree being pink is an error because it was irrelevant to the plot.''

:It cannot be an error if it was made purposely by the editors and noted by the characters. And it was part of the plot as that's how they were able to pick it out of the swarm. Otherwise they would have been looking aimlessly for it.

::''Just because you are someone of high status here on Bulbapedia doesn't give you the right to act like a jerk and be discourteous to people who are trying to add more information to the site.''

:Now I am finding it hard to believe that you are sincere about your apology. My personal belief, I was never being discourteous to you. All I did was tell you I removed your trivia and to try and improve it. If anything, you were the one that was discourteous to me.

::''Like I said before, you should've messaged me before you made revisions to what I wrote. I didn't say you had to, but the ground rules did (see the top of my discussion page). It's in this way you have acted unprofessionally.''

:I don't have to message you about anything. Read what is stated near the "Save page" button again. And again, you are contradicting yourself. "Oh you don't have to but it's the rules" What? Either I have to or I don't.

::''Again I'm coming back to this: What trivia have I written that isn't correct? Constructive critism is not what you gave; you made revisions/deletions to my posts without saying what was wrong. So far, you've only brought up the Pink Butterfree, which is one edit I've made. It's not "most" of what I've written.''

:I explained in some of my edit summaries. What I gave you on your page was constructive critism. It just wasn't that detailed. If you wanted more detail, you should have simply asked me.

::''I'll leave it to you to make the revisions. If what you said was true, and I'm wrong about almost everything I've said, it would be a bad thing if I deleted something that was possibly correct, right?''

:But you don't make a note of it on the page itself. I explained that to you already. You go to the talk page. Every page has a talk page. Mentioning on the page itself is just unappealing to look at.

::''I think the nicknames impact the episodes a great deal because they help define the relationship Ash has with the character calling him that. Seeing as how Duplica and Lt. Surge don't appear in any other episodes (as far as I know), then the nicknames are unique to the episodes as well as the characters using them.

:Well I don't think it impacts it in the least. And FYI, Duplica does appear in another episode. Duplica isn't the only character who calls Ash "Ashy-boy" anyway. Gary calls him that too.

:So yeah, I don't believe you are truly sorry. You are still under the impression that this is mostly my fault for not explaining every little thing you did wrong when you clearly overreacted. And it isn't just me who is saying it. CoolPikachu! and Carmenstar97 also agree. But I will say that I am sorry for not giving you all the details on what was wrong. At the time, I was busy performing multiple tasks both online and off. I'm going to leave a message on your talk about what was wrong as I don't want to clog up my talk anymore. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 05:20, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

"What you could have done was ask me politely what you did wrong and what my status is instead of saying how wrong I am for not using proper grammar."

What you could have done was to tell me politely that the edits I wrote were incorrect and explained to me in what way they were. The reason I pointed out your bad grammar was to emphasize that you were not following your own guidelines. As a leader in administration, this is something you should do to set a good example for the other users here on Bulbapedia.

"'I never said you needed to get my permission.' This is what you said in your first comment: "And you're violating Bulbapedia's policy by removing what I've written on a page without contacting me first." So... you never said that, huh?"

That's right, I never said you needed my permission. When I said, "... without contacting me first," I was referring to the ground rule that you should message me instead of deleting what I've written without doing so. Again, you should follow the guidelines you set for the rest of the community to set a good example.

"One revert is far from being an edit war. Some of them I explained why I reverted in the edit summary."

You're right, one revert is far from being an edit war. However, it wasn't just one revert; you made revisions on most of the edits I posted, as you've said. In addition, it would've become an edit war had I not known someone was deleting or revising my edits. I looked at some of your other discussion topics, and I saw a similar situation happened with RedLuigi. To prevent pointless edit wars like this in the future, I believe you should take the necessary precautions; that is, politely say who you are and what's wrong with the posts, and let the user take the incorrect posts down himself or herself.

"It cannot be an error if it was made purposely by the editors and noted by the characters. And it was part of the plot as that's how they were able to pick it out of the swarm. Otherwise they would have been looking aimlessly for it."

I see your reasoning, and I agree with you now. It's just a problem with semantics that this little debate with Pink Butterfree happened: I noted the Pink Butterfree as an error because it's inconsistent with what we know what color Butterfree should be. I'm glad we cleared this up.

"Now I am finding it hard to believe that you are sincere about your apology. My personal belief, I was never being discourteous to you. All I did was tell you I removed your trivia and to try and improve it. If anything, you were the one that was discourteous to me."

I really am sorry I overreacted and was discourteous. On the Internet it's very difficult to convey emotions, since we only have text. You'll just have to take my word for it. But you were discourteous, as I said before, since you took action without telling me who you were and why you made the changes you made. If you weren't being discourteous, I wouldn't be making a big deal about it now.

"'One more thing, if you quote someone inside a quote, you use ' instead of ". I'm not taking cheap shots here; I'm just trying to help you be better at writing.' is not the same as ". I was using '' to italicize your comment so that it is easier to see. And yeah, you kind a were when you said "You should learn to revise what you write if you make mistakes in English so often. This is another violation of Bulbapedia's "Good English" rule." when you were responding to a comment that had nothing to do with grammar."

Fine, I was taking a cheap shot when I was noting your bad grammar in my first post because I was upset, but I wasn't the second time. The fact that I'm not pointing out mistakes in your grammar anymore should prove I'm not upset anymore.

"That is pretty much the only excpetion. I was going to mention that but forgot to. Gender difference did not exist for Butterfree at the time and it also didn't have a gender in Gen I games."

Yes, Nidoran is an exception, but it's obviously irrelevant to what we're talking about now. No worries. But the article I edited was on the episode which did feature Butterfree with different genders. The whole plot was building up to the point where Butterfree left Ash in order to mate with the Pink Butterfree. It wouldn't make any sense to think they had the same gender. If this were an article on the game, then yes, I agree you would be absolutely right in saying there's no sexual difference between Butterfree in Generation I.

"I don't have to message you about anything. Read what is stated near the "Save page" button again. And again, you are contradicting yourself. "Oh you don't have to but it's the rules" What? Either I have to or I don't."

No, I'm not contradicting myself. I said you should follow the rules because you're a leader, and you should set a good example for the rest of the community to follow. There are things you have to do, don't have to do, should do, and shouldn't do. What you should or shouldn't do falls under a category called "ethics," and as a leader, I expect you to act according to the guidelines you set for everyone else (I'm referring to the ground rules) and not be "above the law." Erasing things without acting properly will just lead to edit wars as it did with RedLuigi and as it could have with me. You should take precautions in handling these situations as I explained before.

"But you don't make a note of it on the page itself. I explained that to you already. You go to the talk page. Every page has a talk page. Mentioning on the page itself is just unappealing to look at."

I didn't know every page had a talk page. So, when should I make a correction on the main page?

"So yeah, I don't believe you are truly sorry. You are still under the impression that this is mostly my fault for not explaining every little thing you did wrong when you clearly overreacted."

I'm not under the impression that this is mostly your fault. I said at the beginning of my last post on your discussion that I believe we're both at fault, and I wanted to imply by saying that that we both have something to learn from this on how we should act on Bulbapedia. Not to be rude, but I don't care who other people believe to be wrong or right in a situation that concerns only you and me. For all I know, they're siding with you because you're the senior administrator and I'm just a random user, and they're not considering my point of view as well as yours in making their choice.

I understand this is clogging up your discussion page, but please leave it up until we're done talking so we can refer back to what we've said. I'll go look at your comments on my page and reply now on my page. I'm pretty busy during the week with college work, so I won't be able to write so much during that time.

== Peace ==

Hi there, Kenji-Girl. I hope in spite of everything that's happened, we can move past it and be friends instead of keeping any hard feelings. Even though I was disappointed that some of my trivia was wrong, I was impressed that you pointed out to me what was wrong and why. I relearned some things about Pokémon that I'd forgotten since it's been ages since I last watched all of season 1. Would it be all right if I asked you some questions about it if I think of any?

You can call me Edward, by the way. Peace ^^\/ --[[User:ShalashaskaADV|Shalashaska]][[User talk:ShalashaskaADV|ADV]] 07:50, 19 February 2011 (UTC)

Hi, I'm not sure where to type but its regarding the "Nintendo branding the 3DS as dangerous" article.

== Re:IAPL ==

Hello, I'm one of the guys in charge of the IAPL wiki (known as Anonymousse); and I have to say; I'm terribly sorry over the copyright deal. To be honest, I dislike using other's work and usually try to make my own. And I know I might sound like trying to put the shame on another; but I feel the need to say this. We used to have another webhost in 000webhost.com, and we had a wiki set up in there as well; [http://wiki.iapl.co.cc/index.php?title=Template:Party&oldid=881 This] edit over here was made by a user named Ketsuban (we are still unsure about whether he used to be part of this community or not). I'm not sure if you've heard of him. Anyways, when he brought up the Party template, I started asking him about bringing that template in, but he said he asked and he got a 'yes'. So I went on and edited it. Regarding the RegionInfobox template, it's heavily based upon Bulbapedia's; but I can say it's a work entirely made by me. With that said, I must say that the Party template is only a placeholder, since I still was uneasy about using it; once I can learn about wiki markup better, I'll replace it with my own work (lots of people can prove that). But in the meantime, we'll put attribution to your work, how do you want it? Tell me and we'll change what's needed. Once again, I'm sorry over that. Mind if I ask something? How did you come across to the Project site? I look forward to your response. [[User:Masatoshi|Masatoshi]] [[User_talk:Masatoshi|talk]] [[Special:Contributions/Masatoshi|contribs]] 03:34, 6 January 2011 (UTC)

tl;dr by bigplrbear (2nd admin): Sorry about using your stuff; we were under the impression (thanks to a user named Ketsuban, whom we were under the impression that he came from Bulbapedia) that we could use the templates freely. We'll start replacing your templates with our own, but in the meantime, would it be okay if we gave credit to those who made it? If so, how would you like the credit to be displayed? Also, how'd you find out about our project, if you don't mind us asking?

If you have any further concerns and you want to reach us directly, you're more than welcome to get on the IRC at [irc://irc.rizon.net#iapl irc.rizon.net #iapl] and send Anonymousse or I a PM. :)
[[User:Bigplrbear|Bigplrbear]] 03:47, 6 January 2011 (UTC)

:Thanks, guys. Just provide some documentation saying that the templates are taken from Bulbapedia and will be replaced as soon as possible. I think the Ketsuban user you refer to may be [[User:Missingno000]]; he recently filed a request to change his username here to Ketsuban. A friend and colleague of mine saw you guys on /vp/ and noticed you'd copied a few templates; as I'm the go-to copyrights guy around here, she asked me to say something to you. Again, thanks for your cooperation. —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 06:45, 6 January 2011 (UTC)
::There's absolutely no way we can know about that. All I can say is that the guy used proper grammar and was a power-hungry guy; he was in charge of one of the Leagues; until he was removed because of his vandalic actions and some stuff in the game script. And regarding the templates, I know that the Party template will have that; as well as with the color2 one; but there's a thing I'm not sure about. The roundy template, since it uses CSS attributes that are global; should we rename the template or what? And what about the Hex colours? I'm not sure about that, since they are present in the games. And, are you okay with the style we're using? Since Bulbapedia's work is actually something inspiring to work on, and plus, I kinda hate square corners. I think I know who told you about the project :P. Anyways, thank you for being comprehensive; I'd hate being hated by Bulbagarden/pedia. I'll get to work on a Documentation, can I use Bulbapedia's logo for that, by the way? [[User:Masatoshi|Masatoshi]] [[User_talk:Masatoshi|talk]] [[Special:Contributions/Masatoshi|contribs]] 07:15, 6 January 2011 (UTC)
:::We could confirm by checking IP addresses, I guess, but it isn't a big deal and shouldn't be handled in public. The roundy template, or versions thereof, is being used on many wikis. Although I think our incarnation was coded up by Bulbagarden staff, we can't really hold claim to rounded corners (despite what TTE may think). The hex colors were taken out of the game by Bulbapedia users, but I don't think we can justifiably hold claim to them either. I'll leave the rest to your judgment: if you've taken it directly from BP, then add attribution. If it's original work, it's original work. You are welcome to use Bulbapedia's logo in a link-back documentation message. —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 08:31, 6 January 2011 (UTC)
::::Possibly; gotta check Ketsuban's IP in the forum. The documentation has been made into a template (BulbaDoc), and it's put into the Party template and the Pokémon/5 (transcluded to only Pokémon); not sure if that's okay. And, as soon as I get to figure out how to use some parser functions correctly, I'll start to make the Party template for us. ''*sigh*'' I'm still sorry over this stuff.

Thanks for hearing us out. Like anonymousse said, we'll get on documenting anything used from Bulbapedia, and we'll give credit where credit's due. Anon's just a bit scared of copyright stuff (I, for one am not, since (thankfully) Nintendo has a well documented history for not caring, unless you make money and/or use their ROMs/Code), so this whole deal freaked him out a bit.

== User deletion request. ==

Hello. I'm leaving this comment on your talkpage because you were the last person to leave a comment on mine. If you are not responsible for what I am about to talk about, please ignore this and send my note to the correct person.

After two hilarious discussions about me doing to many edits in my namespace (BTW, when I want to talk with a robot, I visit Cleverbot), I realized that I am unable to edit my own pages. I truly appreciate your imagination and creativity in modifying terms like "democracy" and "my own possession". Hey, at last we're on wiki, where anyone can change anything! (insert laugh) Back to the point. You see, after that I found out that I cannot simply remove my account and I have to beg someone to do it. So here I am. Please, please, destroy my user account and all pages that has violated this precious, given by Arceus himslef "3 times per day" law. Destroy all my edits that were - what I thought - a mere and humble addition to the Bulbapedia, but - in fact - were "horrible, horrible crimes". I understand what have I done and decided to leave this place and never contribute to any online community ever (just in case they have developed as stupid laws as the ones here). I hope my dose of irony wasn't too big for your servers. And if it was - I will laugh even more. Yes. Sincerely, [[User:Piotr mil|Piotr mil]] 15:37, 21 January 2011 (UTC)
:Don't be so pretentious. I'm not deleting your pages. That's not how I roll.
:Bulbapedia has rules for a reason. We discourage over-editing of userspace pages because we are, first and foremost, an encyclopedia. Your edits looked like they might have eventually benefited the wiki; however, you still have to stick to the rules. If you're making helpful userspace edits, we get more lenient with the limits, but you aren't immune. If you make a few mainspace edits for every userspace edit, you'll be sweet. If you choose to disregard this message and leave the wiki, that's fine too. Just don't be an ass about everything. I learned the hard way when I joined Bulbapedia - if you act like a dick, you'll get treated like one. —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 10:51, 22 January 2011 (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 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. 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}}.

== Your trivia ==

Has been less than satisfactory, I hate to tell you. Much of it is unnotable or incorrect and I had to revert most of your edits. Also, Please understand the difference between game mechanics and anime mechanics before you write down something as an error. The Pink Butterfree is no way shape or form an error. It existed way before gender differences and shiny Pokémon were created. They animators can't foretell the future.

And when you see a piece of trivia or an error that is incorrect and is stated in the article, just remove it. Don't put "Actually the first piece of trivia is incorrect" directly in the article as that is very unprofessional. If you want so say something is incorrect, please go to the talk page of the article.

One more thing, please be sure you put trivia in the correct article. Duplica and Lt. Surge's nicknames for Ash belong in '''their articles''', not the episode articles.

Okay, I'll go through your criticisms in order.

My edit to EP021 and Snow Way Out!

"This is false. Ash first cried in the very first episode and then again in Here Comes the Squirtle Squad," and "Unnotable as Ash cries a lot. So it isn't 'one of the rare instances'."

I'm assuming this a problem with semantics once again. By "shedding tears," I don't mean getting watery eyes (like what happens when Ash is lying on the ground with Pikachu or when Pikachu licks Ash's face in the first episode). This obviously happens a lot, I agree. By "shedding tears," I mean tears that actually fall down your cheeks or out of your eyes, such as what happens to Ash during really emotional moments like in "Bye Bye Butterfree," "Pikachu's Goodbye," and "Snow Way Out!". Do you see what I mean now?

My edit to EP056

"Nurse Joy's cross changes color in each city. It isn't always red."

Does it really change color with each city? In EP078, where Brock's going crazy with all the Nurse Joy's and Officer Jenny's running around, the Celadon City and Saffron City Nurse Joys have red crosses. I just checked EP002, and the Viridian City Joy has a red cross. Oh, the Joy from Pewter city has a bluish cross in EP005--I didn't notice that before. Perhaps that would be good trivia for EP005; that is, if you still disagree that most of the Joys have red crosses. What do you think?

"And the reason that Todd is called "Snap" is mentioned on Todd's page. As I said, it doesn't need to be pointed out in the article."

Oh, I see. You're right, it doesn't.

My edit to EP037

"Duplica's nickname for Ash belongs on Duplica's page, not the episode article."

All right, fine.

"You were making a reference to RocketShipping. RocketShipping is not canon in the anime and should not be mentioned on the main pages."

Yes, I did make a reference to Rocketshipping in my second sentence, "Apparently, It's not James." Could we just remove the second sentence and leave the first?

"Again, you are pointing out incorrect trivia on the page itself when you should have consulted the talkpage. And the trivia isn't wrong anyway. It's says "This is the first time that Ash and his friends mock Team Rocket's motto completely." They only said the beginning in EP021."

I see. It's another problem with semantics: I thought the person meant Ash, Misty, and Brock completely mocked the motto instead of mocked the whole motto. I think this trivia fact should be rewritten more clearly to avoid this confusion. How does "This is the first time that Ash and his friends mock the whole Team Rocket motto" sound?

"Maybe that could have stayed, but I think it is already mentioned on Duplica's Ditto's article."

I just checked the article, and there wasn't anything about it.

My edit to EP012

"That didn't seem notable to me, personally. And I think it is in the episode summary somewhere."

I checked the episode summary, and it says Team Rocket were carrying ice guns. While it's true Jessie's bazooka fired off an ice bomb, there wasn't any proof that James' weapon was similar. In fact, what's interesting is that you see James holding the automatic weapon when he's robbing the store, but as Team Rocket is leaving and Jessie fires her weapon, James' weapon is missing; he's carrying the robbed goods instead. I think this is very notable, since it makes you wonder why the whole episode wasn't censored due to all the guns, explosions, and crime. Wouldn't you say?

My edit to EP020

"You don't need to point out when a Pokémon shares the same voice actor with a human. That's what the voice actors articles are for."

All right, fine.

"Games =/= Anime, therefor it is not an error. Ghost Pokémon possess unique powers that are non existent in the games."

I agree: the games are different from the anime. However, even in the anime it is an error because other Gastly don't share the same abilities; that is, they can't talk or do those transformations, which makes the Gastly in that episode very special. But like we agreed on before, this is just a semantics problem like with the Pink Butterfree. Everyone (Ash, the others in the episode, and the storywriters) was aware of this, so it isn't an error.

My edit to EP014

"I explained about the nickname and Brock never flirts with Nurse Joy during an emergency situation. He's done this multiple times in future episodes."

I agree with you now about the nickname. But even before the emergency happens (i.e. before the Rattata and its trainer came rushing in), Brock isn't blushing or flirting with Nurse Joy like he usually does. Also, when she said she thought she was the prettiest Nurse Joy, Brock didn't seem all that eager to convince her that she was. He just replied with a "Yeah."

Thanks for explaining your reasons. Next time please talk to me first before you do any revisions, since some of my edits might actually be worthy trivia facts. --[[User:ShalashaskaADV|ShalashaskaADV]] 08:51, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

:One thing I might add is that when post your response please try to make it as short as possible and avoid using unnecessary words considering it is too time consuming and difficult to read through all those minature paragraphs and it clutters up talk pages. Also if when I write longer messages I make sure to use the preview button to help carefully read and monitor my words and links carefully to reduce grammar errors as much as possible. That's the friendly advice I can give you. -[[User:Tyler53841|Tyler53841]] 09:03, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

::Thank you for the advice. Could I please ask where you see a grammar error in what I've written? --[[User:ShalashaskaADV|ShalashaskaADV]] 09:07, 14 February 2011 (UTC)
:::What I meant by that is re-reading over your work since there is sometimes bound an error when writing longer and more complex messages, kinda like how I wrote episode summaries (on different sites) and then checked my work to reduce the amount of mistakes. -[[User:Tyler53841|Tyler53841]] 09:10, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

== Talk page editing ==

You aren't allowed to alter messages on your talk page. It is against the {{bp|talk page policy}}. Morover, editing your own talk page that much also abuses the talk page policy as it is considered abuse of the rules, so be aware of that. Also, I've seen your attitude has been less than acceptable at times, so I advise you to calm down. -- '''[[User:MAGNEDETH|MAG]][[Special:Contributions/MAGNEDETH|NE]][[User talk:MAGNEDETH|DETH]]''' 01:28, 17 February 2011 (UTC)

:I was replying to Kenji-Girl's post on my talk page. How is there anything wrong with that if this is supposed to be a discussion?

:Regarding my attitude, everyone gets upset sometimes, so just forget about it. It's not like I was using bad language or saying anything offensive. Why do you concern yourself with that anyway? --[[User:ShalashaskaADV|Shalashaska]][[User talk:ShalashaskaADV|ADV]] 17:48, 17 February 2011 (UTC)

:::::::Under the talk page policy (which i linked in my initial message above) under the "Talk page etiquette" sub-section, it states that you may not remove comments, which you did (over the span of 12 edits, which is also against the rules) starting on [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=User_talk:ShalashaskaADV&oldid=1358720 Feb 14th at 09:14 UTC] to [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=User_talk:ShalashaskaADV&oldid=1361331 Feb 17th 01:07 UTC].
:::::::As for your attitude? Well, it goes without saying that you should be nice, and I know that sometimes people just get upset, but you don't have to use profane language to break the {{bp|code of conduct}}. There's just numerous cases where you could use a chill pill. Again, not saying you're exploding on everyone, but you should still relax.

::::::::Okay, first of all I did not remove any of the comments I posted. I responded to Kenji-Girl's message on my page a few days ago, read it again later, and found out it could have been written better. I just revised my own message to make it more understandable and readable. As a chief editor, I expect you to understand this. I noticed that the revisions I made were cancelled, and I believe this is your doing from the emails I received. I spent more than half an hour making those corrections, so I have to say I'm most ungrateful.

::::::::Secondly, I've admitted to overreacting and apologized for it twice to Kenji-Girl, so I don't believe I'm not making an effort to abide by the code of conduct and be nice. I did read through the rules and policies; I just didn't bother to take note of and memorize who you were since I didn't think it would be important (I don't mean offense).

::::::::Lastly, I would like to point out that I'm not the only one at fault here. Kenji-Girl has not followed the code of conduct in her interactions with me. In what follows, I'll quote the code of conduct (in blue) and explain how she hasn't abided to it.

:::::::::"On regular pages, if you think somebody's wrong about a fact, and they don't think they're wrong, an edit war can ensue. While that is going on, do try to talk it out politely on the talk pages. Outline why you think they're wrong—factually, not stylistically—and expect them to do the same for you."

::::::::If you read the first topic on my discussion page, "Your Trivia," you'll see that Kenji-Girl made no attempt to talk with me and discuss what she thought was wrong with my edits before she revised/deleted my posts. Additionally, she misquoted me and called me "unprofessional" for stating proof why someone else's trivia was incorrect instead of deleting the incorrect trivia in an article.

::::::::I spent half my day on Sunday last weekend making edits I believed to be correct, and I got her message saying what I wrote was incorrect and unnotable and that I was unprofessional. She deleted most of what I wrote without explaining anything. It's for this reason I became upset. I tried to keep my cool, but every other administrator who got involved in the conversation (CoolPikachu!, Tyler53841, and Carmen97) thought I was the "irrational" one (quoted from Tyler53841) and person at fault, not Kenji-Girl. I hope you understand now my frustration wasn't wholly unjustified. I'd like to ask you to remind Kenji-Girl to follow the code of conduct so that she'll set a good example to other new users on this site like myself. Thank you for taking the time to read this, MAGNEDETH. --[[User:ShalashaskaADV|Shalashaska]][[User talk:ShalashaskaADV|ADV]] 04:38, 18 February 2011 (UTC)

:::::::::Ahem. I never said '''you''' were unprofessional. Do not put words in my mouth. I said what you did looked unprofessional. BIG DIFFERENCE. I thought you didn't like misquoting.

:::::::::I took the time out of my day to list what you did wrong and you still are not satisfied and are saying that I should learn the code of conduct. I didn't have to do that. I did it in hopes that we can put this behind us. But no, it's not good enough. You still want to keep bringing it up instead of moving on.

::::::::::If several different people are saying that you are overreacting, chances are that you are indeed overreacting. Please just let it go and move on. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 06:19, 18 February 2011 (UTC)

:::::::::::"[...] directly in the article as that is very unprofessional."

:::::::::::I only quoted the word, "unprofessional," which you did say. You did not say what I did "looked unprofessional." I interpreted the above quote as you calling me unprofessional, since you didn't say explicitly what you meant. Thus, I'm not misquoting you. You're putting in words that weren't in your original message.

:::::::::::And yes, you didn't follow the code of conduct. I explained above how you didn't follow it. It's true you explained your reasons for revising/deleting my posts on my discussion page, but you only did so after I posted two long emails on your discussion page asking for it. In addition, I've replied to some of the reasons you gave on my discussion page, but you haven't replied back yet. I'm sorry my responses aren't written as well as they should be; MAGNEDETH erased the revisions I made, so let me know if anything's unclear.

:::::::::::I would like to move on from this debate, too, but people still won't stop bothering me about how I overreacted. I don't deny that I did, and I explained above my reasons for doing so. The problem I have is that people like CoolPikachu! say you didn't break the code of conduct when you did, and they're saying I'm the only one who's done wrong. --[[User:ShalashaskaADV|Shalashaska]][[User talk:ShalashaskaADV|ADV]] 07:22, 18 February 2011 (UTC)

== Your trivia ==

Has been less than satisfactory, I hate to tell you. Much of it is unnotable or incorrect and I had to revert most of your edits. Also, Please understand the difference between game mechanics and anime mechanics before you write down something as an error. The Pink Butterfree is no way shape or form an error. It existed way before gender differences and shiny Pokémon were created. They animators can't foretell the future.

And when you see a piece of trivia or an error that is incorrect and is stated in the article, just remove it. Don't put "Actually the first piece of trivia is incorrect" directly in the article as that is very unprofessional. If you want so say something is incorrect, please go to the talk page of the article.

One more thing, please be sure you put trivia in the correct article. Duplica and Lt. Surge's nicknames for Ash belong in '''their articles''', not the episode articles.

I checked the episode summary, and it says Team Rocket were carrying ice guns. While it's true Jessie's bazooka fired off an ice bomb, there wasn't any proof that James' weapon was similar. In fact, what's interesting is that you see James holding the automatic weapon when he's robbing the store, but as Team Rocket is leaving and Jessie fires her weapon, James' weapon is missing; he's carrying the robbed goods instead. I think this is very notable, since it makes you wonder why the whole episode wasn't censored due to all the guns, explosions, and crime. Wouldn't you say?

My edit to EP020

"You don't need to point out when a Pokémon shares the same voice actor with a human. That's what the voice actors articles are for."

All right, fine.

"Games =/= Anime, therefor it is not an error. Ghost Pokémon possess unique powers that are non existent in the games."

I agree: the games are different from the anime. However, even in the anime it is an error because other Gastly don't share the same abilities; that is, they can't talk or do those transformations, which makes the Gastly in that episode very special. But like we agreed on before, this is just a semantics problem like with the Pink Butterfree. Everyone (Ash, the others in the episode, and the storywriters) was aware of this, so it isn't an error.

My edit to EP014

"I explained about the nickname and Brock never flirts with Nurse Joy during an emergency situation. He's done this multiple times in future episodes."

I agree with you now about the nickname. But even before the emergency happens (i.e. before the Rattata and its trainer came rushing in), Brock isn't blushing or flirting with Nurse Joy like he usually does. Also, when she said she thought she was the prettiest Nurse Joy, Brock didn't seem all that eager to convince her that she was. He just replied with a "Yeah."

Thanks for explaining your reasons. Next time please talk to me first before you do any revisions, since some of my edits might actually be worthy trivia facts. --[[User:ShalashaskaADV|ShalashaskaADV]] 08:51, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

::::::::Okay, first of all I did not remove any of the comments I posted. I responded to Kenji-Girl's message on my page a few days ago, read it again later, and found out it could have been written better. I just revised my own message to make it more understandable and readable. As a chief editor, I expect you to understand this. I noticed that the revisions I made were cancelled, and I believe this is your doing from the emails I received. I spent more than half an hour making those corrections, so I have to say I'm most ungrateful.

::::::::Secondly, I've admitted to overreacting and apologized for it twice to Kenji-Girl, so I don't believe I'm not making an effort to abide by the code of conduct and be nice. I did read through the rules and policies; I just didn't bother to take note of and memorize who you were since I didn't think it would be important (I don't mean offense).

::::::::Lastly, I would like to point out that I'm not the only one at fault here. Kenji-Girl has not followed the code of conduct in her interactions with me. In what follows, I'll quote the code of conduct (in blue) and explain how she hasn't abided to it.

:::::::::"On regular pages, if you think somebody's wrong about a fact, and they don't think they're wrong, an edit war can ensue. While that is going on, do try to talk it out politely on the talk pages. Outline why you think they're wrong—factually, not stylistically—and expect them to do the same for you."

::::::::If you read the first topic on my discussion page, "Your Trivia," you'll see that Kenji-Girl made no attempt to talk with me and discuss what she thought was wrong with my edits before she revised/deleted my posts. Additionally, she misquoted me and called me "unprofessional" for stating proof why someone else's trivia was incorrect instead of deleting the incorrect trivia in an article.

::::::::I spent half my day on Sunday last weekend making edits I believed to be correct, and I got her message saying what I wrote was incorrect and unnotable and that I was unprofessional. She deleted most of what I wrote without explaining anything. It's for this reason I became upset. I tried to keep my cool, but every other administrator who got involved in the conversation (CoolPikachu!, Tyler53841, and Carmen97) thought I was the "irrational" one (quoted from Tyler53841) and person at fault, not Kenji-Girl. I hope you understand now my frustration wasn't wholly unjustified. I'd like to ask you to remind Kenji-Girl to follow the code of conduct so that she'll set a good example to other new users on this site like me. Thank you for taking the time to read this, MAGNEDETH. --[[User:ShalashaskaADV|Shalashaska]][[User talk:ShalashaskaADV|ADV]] 04:38, 18 February 2011 (UTC)

== Your trivia ==

Has been less than satisfactory, I hate to tell you. Much of it is unnotable or incorrect and I had to revert most of your edits. Also, Please understand the difference between game mechanics and anime mechanics before you write down something as an error. The Pink Butterfree is no way shape or form an error. It existed way before gender differences and shiny Pokémon were created. They animators can't foretell the future.

And when you see a piece of trivia or an error that is incorrect and is stated in the article, just remove it. Don't put "Actually the first piece of trivia is incorrect" directly in the article as that is very unprofessional. If you want so say something is incorrect, please go to the talk page of the article.

One more thing, please be sure you put trivia in the correct article. Duplica and Lt. Surge's nicknames for Ash belong in '''their articles''', not the episode articles.

ShalashaskaADV, user and senior administrator Kenji-Girl was not in any way breaking the code of conduct. In fact quite the opposite.

Okay, I'll go through your criticisms in order.

My edit to EP021 and Snow Way Out!

"This is false. Ash first cried in the very first episode and then again in Here Comes the Squirtle Squad," and "Unnotable as Ash cries a lot. So it isn't 'one of the rare instances'."

I'm assuming this a problem with semantics once again. By "shedding tears," I don't mean getting watery eyes (like what happens when Ash is lying on the ground with Pikachu or when Pikachu licks Ash's face in the first episode). This obviously happens a lot, I agree. By "shedding tears," I mean tears that actually fall down your cheeks or out of your eyes, such as what happens to Ash during really emotional moments like in "Bye Bye Butterfree," "Pikachu's Goodbye," and "Snow Way Out!". Do you see what I mean now?

My edit to EP056

"Nurse Joy's cross changes color in each city. It isn't always red."

Does it really change color with each city? In EP078, where Brock's going crazy with all the Nurse Joy's and Officer Jenny's running around, the Celadon City and Saffron City Nurse Joys have red crosses. I just checked EP002, and the Viridian City Joy has a red cross. Oh, the Joy from Pewter city has a bluish cross in EP005--I didn't notice that before. Perhaps that would be good trivia for EP005; that is, if you still disagree that most of the Joys have red crosses. What do you think?

"And the reason that Todd is called "Snap" is mentioned on Todd's page. As I said, it doesn't need to be pointed out in the article."

Oh, I see. You're right, it doesn't.

My edit to EP037

"Duplica's nickname for Ash belongs on Duplica's page, not the episode article."

All right, fine.

"You were making a reference to RocketShipping. RocketShipping is not canon in the anime and should not be mentioned on the main pages."

Yes, I did make a reference to Rocketshipping in my second sentence, "Apparently, It's not James." Could we just remove the second sentence and leave the first?

"Again, you are pointing out incorrect trivia on the page itself when you should have consulted the talkpage. And the trivia isn't wrong anyway. It's says "This is the first time that Ash and his friends mock Team Rocket's motto completely." They only said the beginning in EP021."

I see. It's another problem with semantics: I thought the person meant Ash, Misty, and Brock completely mocked the motto instead of mocked the whole motto. I think this trivia fact should be rewritten more clearly to avoid this confusion. How does "This is the first time that Ash and his friends mock the whole Team Rocket motto" sound?

"Maybe that could have stayed, but I think it is already mentioned on Duplica's Ditto's article."

I just checked the article, and there wasn't anything about it.

My edit to EP012

"That didn't seem notable to me, personally. And I think it is in the episode summary somewhere."

I checked the episode summary, and it says Team Rocket were carrying ice guns. While it's true Jessie's bazooka fired off an ice bomb, there wasn't any proof that James' weapon was similar. In fact, what's interesting is that you see James holding the automatic weapon when he's robbing the store, but as Team Rocket is leaving and Jessie fires her weapon, James' weapon is missing; he's carrying the robbed goods instead. I think this is very notable, since it makes you wonder why the whole episode wasn't censored due to all the guns, explosions, and crime. Wouldn't you say?

My edit to EP020

"You don't need to point out when a Pokémon shares the same voice actor with a human. That's what the voice actors articles are for."

All right, fine.

"Games =/= Anime, therefor it is not an error. Ghost Pokémon possess unique powers that are non existent in the games."

I agree: the games are different from the anime. However, even in the anime it is an error because other Gastly don't share the same abilities; that is, they can't talk or do those transformations, which makes the Gastly in that episode very special. But like we agreed on before, this is just a semantics problem like with the Pink Butterfree. Everyone (Ash, the others in the episode, and the storywriters) was aware of this, so it isn't an error.

But even before the emergency happens (i.e. before the Rattata and its trainer came rushing in), Brock isn't blushing or flirting with Nurse Joy like he usually does.

== Dead or Alive? ==

This article refers both to Ash and Pikachu being dead and to having an out-of-body experience. Out-of-body experiences mostly happen to people who are still alive, but in an unconscious or coma state. This needs to be cleared up, especially since other articles (in particular the article on [[Mewtwo Strikes Back]])refer to the number of times Ash has or almost has died. Personally, I feel that Ash has NOT died in this instance. [[User:Legionaireb|Legionaireb]] 03:49, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

== Literal Ghost ==

Where is the [[literal ghost]] in this episode (the appearances sections of both this page and the ghost's list it as appearing)? I've watched the episode several times and can't find it. I'd really like to see it, and it might make an interesting note of whether it matches its in-game model. --[[User:DarkfireTaimatsu|DarkfireTaimatsu]] 13:26, 8 December 2010 (UTC)

== Ghost Pokémon Mystery ==

"In the scene where Ash pulls out his Pokédex to check out the ghost Pokémon (which turns out to be Team Rocket), it says, "Ghost Pokémon are shrouded in mystery," and yet when the real ghost Pokémon actually come out, Ash's Pokédex doesn't have any trouble recognizing them."

This is written as one of the errors on the article, but I don't think it should be there because even though the Pokédex could recognize Gastly, Haunter, and Gengar, it couldn't give any information about them. This is what's meant by them being "shrouded in mystery." --[[User:ShalashaskaADV|ShalashaskaADV]] 19:26, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

{{spoilers}}
== Synopsis ==
After the events of [[EP022|the previous episode]], {{Ash}} and {{ashfr|his friends}} are heading to [[Lavender Town]] so Ash can capture a {{t|Ghost}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} to use against [[Sabrina]]. As they are hiking, the fog intensifies and {{an|Brock}} suggests that everyone should hold hands. Ash and {{an|Misty}} link up but Brock cannot find them. Brock reaches towards Ash’s hand, but mistakes it for {{AP|Pikachu}}'s tail, resulting in Pikachu {{m|ThunderShock|shocking}} Brock. Ash scares everyone by wearing a skull mask. He wants to help them get over fear, but it makes everyone angry, Pikachu shocking him.

The group arrives in Lavender Town and reach the [[Pokémon Tower]] by dark. Misty and Brock want to let Ash go in alone, scared off by the tower. Ash still wants to go in, but Pikachu does not, wanting to sleep. Ash pulls out his sleeping bag and wants to hold until the morning, but Misty wakes them up by smacking a gong. Meanwhile, [[Team Rocket]] watches them from one of the windows inside the tower. [[James]] runs off, but he falls through a hole in the floor. [[Jessie]] and {{MTR}} look down and see James, but Meowth notices a closet opening nearby, a {{p|Gastly}} coming out and scaring Meowth. Meowth points to it, but it disappears before Jessie sees it. Gastly goes over Jessie's face, mimicking Jessie’s speech, and Meowth attacks, {{m|scratch}}ing Jessie. Jessie angrily uses a pan to knock Meowth around and down into the hole with James. Jessie looks at herself in a mirror and sees Gastly, scaring her enough to send her falling down the hole with the others. The three of them open another hole and fall down, the scream audible to Ash and the others. Team Rocket gets back up, but Gastly scares them again, knocking them out.

Outside, Ash and his friends decide to go in, but Misty and Brock push Ash forward first. They enter the tower, and the door closes on its own, putting them into a pitch-black room. Ash sends out {{AP|Charmander}} to light the room with a {{m|Flamethrower}}, but it exhausts the Pokémon. Brock finds a candle and Charmander uses Flamethrower to light the candle, but it unintentionally torches Brock. Ash and his friends find the hole in the floor as they explore, hearing strange noises echoing. In another portion of the tower, a {{p|Haunter}} and {{p|Gengar}} are watching TV, laughing at the comedy show broadcast. Gastly comes into the room and they all laugh.

Ash and co. continue exploring, entering a larger room. The room suddenly lights up as they make it out as a dining room, the table fully set. There is a rope above the table that has a note saying, “Pull this.” Ash pulls it and it releases confetti and a sign saying, “Welcome.” Suddenly, the glassware and chairs begin to levitate. Brock gets thrown around in a chair while Pikachu and Charmander get thrown around on platters. Ash and Misty run out of the room as Brock and the Pokémon jump off and run out. The tableware and chairs reset as the Ghost Pokémon show up, laughing at the mischief.

Outside, everyone is exhausted from running, Misty and Brock fully convinced not to go back in. Ash still wants to go in, but his Pokémon are not as willing. Ash tries to convince them as Pikachu remembers losing to Kadabra. Ash and his Pokémon are willing to take another shot, but Misty and Brock still want to stay behind. They go back inside and face the hole Team Rocket created earlier. Ash checks his [[Pokédex]] about Ghost Pokémon as they approach the hole. They hear commotion and think the Pokémon are down there. Pikachu attacks with ThunderShock, hitting Team Rocket. Charmander uses Flamethrower to burn Team Rocket, creating a fire. Ash throws a [[Poké Ball]], but it hits Jessie in the face. Jessie gets angry as her hair catches fire. She runs around, creating a fireball from Ash's view. Haunter gets behind Ash as Pikachu spots it and freaks out, but Ash misses it. Haunter appears in front of Ash and spooks him as he checks his Pokédex. There is no data, so Ash sends Charmander, but the Pokémon disappears. It appears behind Ash and taps his shoulder. He thinks its Pikachu, but he sees the hand and spooks out. Ash sends Charmander to use {{m|Leer}}. They both pull off fierce looks, but Charmander suddenly makes a funny face, making Haunter laugh. Ash scolds it as Haunter uses {{m|Lick}} to {{Status|Paralysis|paralyze}} Charmander.

Ash recalls Charmander, Haunter still laughing. Gengar materializes through the floor right in front of Ash before smacking him with a fan. Both ghosts are laughing as Ash checks his Pokédex, but there is still no information. Gengar smacks Haunter with the fan and laugh, but Ash does not find it funny. They try to make Ash laugh, but it does not work. The Pokémon are clearly upset as they sink into the floor. Ash and Pikachu jump after them to stop them, but they miss, Ash crashing into the floor. The rattle drops a chandelier on top of them, knocking them out. Pikachu lights the chandelier with electricity. The Ghost Pokémon applaud at the show, but when the chandelier loses electricity, Gengar taps them as Haunter goes up to them and pulls ghost forms of Ash and Pikachu out. They wake up and are shocked at seeing their bodies on the ground. The Ghost Pokémon takes Ash and Pikachu to the top of the tower. Outside, they admire the view as Ash sees Misty and Brock waiting. Ash listens in on the conversation as Misty mentions that he is taking too long, wanting to go in and check on him. Ash speaks as Misty looks behind her, hearing Ash’s voice. Ash pulls Misty into the air before dropping her, Brock catching her. Misty gets up and runs into the tower, Brock following, while Ash and Pikachu fly with the Ghost Pokémon. Haunter gets in front of Ash as he goes through Haunter’s mouth. Everyone laughs, having fun.

The Pokémon take Ash and Pikachu to a room holding several toys. The Ghost Pokémon were not trying to scare people, as they just wanted new playmates. Ash has to turn down the playtime in order to continue his quest, upsetting the Ghost. Meanwhile, Misty and Brock find Ash and Pikachu’s bodies, pulling them out from under the chandelier and trying to wake them. Both are clearly worried, but Misty voices more concern for Ash. Ash and Pikachu return to their bodies and wake up. Misty and Brock are relieved that they are okay, Misty on the verge of crying.

They leave the tower the next day, Ash deciding not to capture the Ghost Pokémon. He wants to use humor as Pikachu points. Haunter is behind them and scares Misty and Brock away. {{AP|Haunter}} decides to join Ash. Meanwhile, the Ghost Pokémon tie Team Rocket onto the carousel and send them spinning.

== Trivia ==
* The episode was temporarily banned from re-airing on [[Kids' WB!]] after the {{wp|September 11, 2001 attacks|September 11 attacks}}. It was later put back into circulation.
** Due to this, [[Kids' WB!]] refused to give the tape to [[Cartoon Network]] for them to air this episode back in 2002. They have since conceded the rights to air it.
* This episode's English title is a reference to the {{wp|Tower of Terror}} theme park ride.
* Gastly is shown to be able to create hands out of its purple surroundings.
* In this episode, Ash and Pikachu share an {{wp|out of body experience}}; a real-world phenomena.
* The book ''[[Night in the Haunted Tower]]'' is based on this episode.
* This episode is featured on the ''Volume 9: Ghost'' copy of [[Pokémon Elements]].

=== Errors ===
* When Pikachu shocks Ash in the beginning, Ash's Japanese voice, done by [[Rica Matsumoto]], is heard in the dub.
* In the last scene with Team Rocket on the merry-go-round, Gengar's eyes are white instead of the normal red.
* In the scene where Ash pulls out his Pokédex to check out the ghost Pokémon (which turns out to be Team Rocket), it says, "Ghost Pokémon are shrouded in mystery," and yet when the real ghost Pokémon actually come out, Ash's Pokédex doesn't have any trouble recognizing them.
* After Haunter scares off Misty and Brock towards the end and Ash starts to laugh, Pikachu says, "Pika Pi Pika Pi Pikachu Pika," even though its mouth is closed and not moving.

=== Dub edits ===
* The scene where {{an|Brock}} mentions that the voices sound like they are coming from a torture chamber was actually a reference to Hell in the Japanese version.
* When Misty asks {{Ash}} to listen to her, her dialog was "You can't die on us" in the original version.
* The scene where [[Team Rocket]] falls down the hole in the floor for the second time some Japanese katakana can be seen briefly: ニャ ''nya'', which is a part of the Japanese name for {{p|Meowth}}.

:Woah, one year late well better late than never. The reason rounds are still rounds is because of that reason. If we started using ADVENTURE, which I wouldn't mind, we'd have to pull a Special > Adventure thing without the locking down and make the other series such as ''Mezase!! Card Master'' and ''Pocket Monsters Platinum: Aim to Be Battle King!!'' that use BATTLE 1 and GET 1, respectively. I wouldn't oppose it. That's are my 2<s>samishouldreallygotosleepnow</s>cents.

Is there anything you are planning to do to that page before it gets mainspaced? I think that it would be better off there, since very few people would know about it, and it makes it even harder for people to find out about it when it's in the userspace. It is of a high enough quality level to be in the mainspace, even if it is a bit stubby. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 11:40, 19 January 2011 (UTC)

Hey I just wanted to thank you for posting that last news! Knowing about that Celebi made me very very happy, but to know that there are some people interested in international stuff that they don't ignore it is just gold n_n.

And BW's official spanish mini website all info is in English, so my guess is no :'(. Yeah I know, Bulbanews is international, but it isn't always like that, did you know that "PokéMex" does a big tournament every year during December and that Bulbanews has never posted anything about it? :/ Well this year they couldn't make it, so there wasn't any.

== Hello ==

Have you read what Kenji-Girl wrote to me?

She's not using proper grammar and spelling. She said she reverted most of my edits, which is completely against the "Use talk pages to resolve editing disputes. Don't 'edit war,' or constantly re-edit/undo..." rule. Also, she's not being nice. In fact, her actions constitute harassment if you ask me.

Do you still disagree? How is she helping me?

Thank you for your input, CoolPikachu!. --[[User:ShalashaskaADV|ShalashaskaADV]] 02:24, 14 February 2011 (UTC)
:Yes I did read what she said. Not everyone can excel in a language, take me for example. I suggest talking to her because she did give you her reason why she reverted you. She is being nice in her way, she is still trying to help you out. Harassing you? I do not think so, if she was it would have been on the lines of something threating and harassing. --[[Special:Contributions/CoolPikachu!|'''☆''']][[User:CoolPikachu!|'''Cool''']][[User talk:CoolPikachu!|'''Pikachu!''']] 02:36, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

::Sorry, I didn't see you replied until now. I don't mean to push the issue with Kenji-Girl any further since she has given me the reasons I was looking for. I would just like you to realize your definition of harassment is inadequate for the sake of the community. Threats of physical abuse and assault are not the only forms of harassment; cyberbullying and trolling are forms of harassment you should especially be on the lookout for here on Bulbapedia. If I were monitoring every edit or post you were making and deleting it, do you really think that wouldn't be harrassment since I'm not making any physical threats? No, it isn't. It's another form of harrassment. Till next time, get Pokémon. --[[User:ShalashaskaADV|ShalashaskaADV]] 13:12, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

== Aloe, Lillipup ==
Wow 17th talk page. I know speculation is agaist the rules but saying ''it was never explicitly stater that Lillipup evolved'' is like saying that it was never stated the Drew's Roserade, Paul's Tortera and May's Venasaur evolved from their respective pre-evloved forms that belonged to the character, just because Aloe is a more miour character dose not mean we should make exceptions, consider how Herdirer knew the same attacks as Lillipup, bar Giga Impact which synbolised its power gain upon evolution, Just somthing for you to ponder.

== Half-confimed genders ==

When an anime Pokémon has gender that is only confirmed in the dub or via a Nintendo event, should all "it"s be changed to "he"s or "she"s?

== Abilities (and also Celebi) ==

Hey there KG. :D I was sorta wondering what the verdict is on anime Pokémon that only have one ability in-game. Well more specifically [[Celebi (movie 13)|Celebi]]. It can only have Natural Cure in the games and I was thinking that might be what it used on Zoroark as she "died". What do you think? Or do we need to keep it "until a character flat out says its ability"? [[Typhlosion|★]][[User:Jo The Marten|Jo the Marten]][[Flygon|★]] [[User_talk:Jo The Marten|ಠ_ಠ]] 02:05, 8 February 2011 (UTC)

== Moves ==

Hey Kenji...I was wondering something. I remember in an earlier edit of Dawn's Togekiss that the Sky Attack Peck combo image was removed due to it taking up too much space. But I was just wondering...why not put it in the move box? Improvised or not, it's still an attack right? And it takes up less space if it's with the other move images [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] 20:09, 8 February 2011 (UTC)
:If it is not a in-game move, even if combined from two in-game moves, it doesn't go in the box. We don't need that "Togekiss being motherly" or "Togekiss much larger in its debut" pictures. You can get rid of one of those to make space, preferably the "large Togekiss" one as it is better suited for [[DP170]]. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 20:14, 8 February 2011 (UTC)

Guys, I ''really'' didn't mean to do that. And you guys talking behind my back doesn't help. If you saw my talk page, you would see that I took 30 minutes of my time to kindly respond to this issue, and you guys haven't responded back since. That little trivia about it being a Poison-type move or a Water-type move was there for at least 7 hours (I kept track), and then I saw that it was removed. My first instinct was to add it back, but it kept getting deleted over and over. I thought some random troll was doing all this until I noticed I got a message. It said that I shouldn't be adding something again and again and got a warning. So how does that happen if that trivia was there for more than 7 hours? Why wait on me to do that? Its like you guys were ''luring'' me to do that. And I only joined this Wiki a month ago to help tribue a little.

I can't tell if you're mad at me or not, but please don't assume I did that on purpose. The way you guys typed those responces to me and deleted one of my posts on Scald's talk page made me feel like you guys want to ban me. After all, the good must die young, right? [/scarcasm]

I'm very sorry for all that I done. I didn't mean to vandalize that page. I feel really, really bad now, and I promise not to do that again. I didn't even know that stuff wasn't allowed for triva on moves, abilities, etc.

Thanks for reading. I hope to hear back soon. :(

Hi Kenji-Girl. Can you look at the picture of Prima's Dewgong and tell me if it's using Aurora Beam or Ice Beam? A user keeps insisting it's Ice beam. [[User:Littlmiget123|Littlmiget123]] 20:07, 11 February 2011 (UTC)
:That's a definite Aurora Beam. Ice Beam always forms a ball and then shoots out what looks like lightning bolts in the anime. This is just a straight line, and I think I can see colors in it. Maybe it knows Ice Beam as well, but that's not what it is using in that picture. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 21:39, 11 February 2011 (UTC)

I saw you mention it on a page, but have you been able to see the credits for BW001 and BW002 yet? Everyone is saying Khristine Hvam for Juniper but she sounds like Emily Jenness too me.

:No, I have not seen the credits. Usually the only way to see the credits is when CN streams the episodes online because they flash them really fast during broadcast and only list the main voice actors. But right now, CN.com is still on ''The Brockster Is In!'' so it may be a while before we see these episodes. Truthfully, I don't hear Emily Jenness at all with Professor Juniper.

== My Trivia ==

"[Your trivia has] been less than satisfactory, I hate to tell you. Much of it is unnotable or incorrect and I had to revert most of your edits."

Would you care to tell me specifically what I've said that's incorrect and an explanation of how it is? And you're violating Bulbapedia's policy by removing what I've written on a page without contacting me first.

"The Pink Butterfree is no way shape or form an error. It existed way before gender differences and shiny Pokémon were created. They animators can't foretell the future."

Yes, the Pink Butterfree is an error. Wild-type Butterfree are not pink--just check out the article on Butterfree here on Bulbapedia. The Pink Butterfree is an aberration from the wild-type; therefore, it is an error. Do you not agree?

What do you mean the Pink Butterfree existed way before gender differences and shiny Pokemon? In Episode 21 (Bye Bye Butterfree), Ash's Butterfree was male, and the Pink Butterfree was female. That's a gender difference, is it not? You're the one who's writing incorrect information.

"They animators?" Put whatever you type into a spellcheck before you post it on the site. Once again, you're violating Bulbapedia's rule about having good spelling and grammar.

"And when you see a piece of trivia or an error that is incorrect and is stated in the article, just remove it. Don't put "Actually the first piece of trivia is incorrect" directly in the article as that is very unprofessional. If you want so say something is incorrect, please go to the talk page of the article."

What's unprofessional is removing something that's incorrect rather than writing a correction for it, especially when you haven't checked to see whether what you're removing is really correct or not. That would be what you're doing. And I never said, "Actually the first piece of trivia is incorrect." Don't quote my saying something I never said.

"If you want so say something is incorrect, please go to the talk page of the article."

You should learn to revise what you write if you make mistakes in English so often. This is another violation of Bulbapedia's "Good English" rule.

"One more thing, please be sure you put trivia in the correct article. Duplica and Lt. Surge's nicknames for Ash belong in their articles, not the episode articles."

Who are you to say where trivia belongs. The nicknames I've mentioned were only brought up in the particular episodes that Lt. Surge and Duplica were in. Therefore, the trivia deserves to stay in the articles pertaining to the episodes. If you want to put it in Lt. Surge and Duplica's articles, then go ahead. Actually, it would be a good idea to put it in both the personal articles and the episode articles.

You should really treat your new members better. {{unsigned|ShalashaskaADV}}

::''And you're violating Bulbapedia's policy by removing what I've written on a page without contacting me first.''

:See, when you edit, there's this notice near the "Save page" button that says "'''Please note that all contributions to Bulbapedia may be edited, altered, or removed by other contributors.'''" So no, I do not have to "get your permission" to remove it first. And just so you know, I am the head of Project Anime and it is my duty to have quality control over all articles that are covered by it. That includes episode articles.

::''Yes, the Pink Butterfree is an error. Wild-type Butterfree are not pink--just check out the article on Butterfree here on Bulbapedia. The Pink Butterfree is an aberration from the wild-type; therefore, it is an error. Do you not agree?''

:Games =/= Anime. I'm really not sure what you mean by "Wild-type" but I know that normal Butterfree are white. But everyone in the episode '''specifically''' noted that this Butterfree was different. An error is when they color Ash's hat wrong or something. When it is being used as a plot device, it is far from being an error.

:When I said "gender differences", I meant [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|this]]''. I am fully aware that genders existed in the anime since the beginning. But genders in games did not exist until Generation II and differences did not exist until Generation IV.

::''"They animators?" Put whatever you type into a spellcheck before you post it on the site. Once again, you're violating Bulbapedia's rule about having good spelling and grammar.''

:That really applies only to the articles. Not talk pages. I try to watch what I say but I do have learning disabilities and can sometimes miss minor errors like those. I apologize. But hey, thanks for reminding me.

::''What's unprofessional is removing something that's incorrect rather than writing a correction for it, especially when you haven't checked to see whether what you're removing is really correct or not. That would be what you're doing. And I never said, "Actually the first piece of trivia is incorrect." Don't quote my saying something I never said.''

:I think you really misunderstood me. I was only giving an example, not quoting you. [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=EP026&diff=prev&oldid=1358385 Please look here].

::''You should learn to revise what you write if you make mistakes in English so often. This is another violation of Bulbapedia's "Good English" rule.''

:lol Okay, cheap shot there. Especially since I was just trying to help you become a better user. No need to point out my grammar mistakes twice.

::''Who are you to say where trivia belongs. The nicknames I've mentioned were only brought up in the particular episodes that Lt. Surge and Duplica were in.

:Ahem, Project Anime leader again. That's who I am. Those would look much better on Lt. Surge's and Duplica's pages. It's more about their character than about the episode. It doesn't need to be on both.

::''You should really treat your new members better.''

:Ditto to you too, pal ;) Except with out the "new" part. It works both ways, ya know. You are reacting '''''way''''' too defensively towards someone trying to help you understand how Bulbapedia works. Please don't take it so personally. I use to submit not so great trivia too when I first started. Without the admins correcting me, I might still be doing it. It's called '''constructive criticism'''. Please learn from it, not bash the one that gave it to you. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 02:22, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

I'm sorry if I did take it too personally, but how do you expect me to react when someone out of the blue tells me that what I've said is not true and calls me unprofessional and deletes what I've written without giving an explanation? Perhaps both of us are at fault here. So, you're the Project Anime leader? It would have been nice if you introduced yourself first before saying all that. Now, as for what you've written, here's my reply:

"So no, I do not have to 'get your permission' to remove it first. And just so you know, I am the head of Project Anime and it is my duty to have quality control over all articles that are covered by it. That includes episode articles."

I never said you needed to get my permission. One of the rules that Carmen posted on my page (a "ground rule") says that instead of having an edit-war, we should talk about what's wrong first before you make any changes. Now, you said most of the trivia facts I wrote were wrong, but you weren't specific on which ones. I'm still awaiting your reply on this. One more thing, if you quote someone inside a quote, you use ' instead of ". I'm not taking cheap shots here; I'm just trying to help you be better at writing.

"But genders in games did not exist until Generation II and differences did not exist until Generation IV."

This is most certainly not true. Nidoran existed in Generation I, and it had different evolution paths, depending whether it was male or female.

"I'm really not sure what you mean by 'Wild-type' but I know that normal Butterfree are white. But everyone in the episode '''specifically''' noted that this Butterfree was different. An error is when they color Ash's hat wrong or something. When it is being used as a plot device, it is far from being an error."

Sorry about the jargon. "Wild-type" is what biologists call a specimen that's natural (i.e. what you find in the wild) as opposed to one that's mutated into something else (one that's unnatural). Anyway, I understand now what you mean by error. I'll keep it in mind the next time I make an edit. That being said, I stand by what I said that the Pink Butterfree being pink is an error because it was irrelevant to the plot. What was relevant was that the Pink Butterfree was a female that Ash's Butterfree was interested in. Consequently, it became a reason for Ash to let his Butterfree go. The fact that the Pink Butterfree was pink had nothing to do with the plot--it was just a tool the storywriters used to help the viewers (us) distinguish the Butterfrees of interest between all the others that were in the episode. I've explained my reasoning, so feel free to delete my edit now if you'd like.

"See, when you edit, there's this notice near the 'Save page' button that says ''''Please note that all contributions to Bulbapedia may be edited, altered, or removed by other contributors.'''' So no, I do not have to 'get your permission' to remove it first. And just so you know, I am the head of Project Anime and it is my duty to have quality control over all articles that are covered by it. That includes episode articles."

Just because you are someone of high status here on Bulbapedia doesn't give you the right to act like a jerk and be discourteous to people who are trying to add more information to the site. Like I said before, you should've messaged me before you made revisions to what I wrote. I didn't say you had to, but the ground rules did (see the top of my discussion page). It's in this way you have acted unprofessionally.

"I use to submit not so great trivia too when I first started. Without the admins correcting me, I might still be doing it. It's called '''constructive criticism'''"

Again I'm coming back to this: What trivia have I written that isn't correct? Constructive critism is not what you gave; you made revisions/deletions to my posts without saying what was wrong. So far, you've only brought up the Pink Butterfree, which is one edit I've made. It's not "most" of what I've written.

"You wrote that the first error is not really an error. It would have been better if you just (A. Removed it or (B. Consulted the talk page"

I'll leave it to you to make the revisions. If what you said was true, and I'm wrong about almost everything I've said, it would be a bad thing if I deleted something that was possibly correct, right?

"Those would look much better on Lt. Surge's and Duplica's pages. It's more about their character than about the episode. It doesn't need to be on both."

I think the nicknames impact the episodes a great deal because they help define the relationship Ash has with the character calling him that. Seeing as how Duplica and Lt. Surge don't appear in any other episodes (as far as I know), then the nicknames are unique to the episodes as well as the characters using them. Thus, it should be on both the personal articles and the episode articles.

To wrap it up, I'd just like to ask that anyone who isn't on the administration or involved with this conversation not get involved? I would appreciate it. --[[User:ShalashaskaADV|ShalashaskaADV]] 03:52, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

::''This is most certainly not true. Nidoran existed in Generation I, and it had different evolution paths, depending whether it was male or female.''

:That is pretty much the '''only''' excpetion. I was going to mention that but forgot to. Gender difference did not exist for Butterfree at the time and it also didn't have a gender in Gen I games.

::''That being said, I stand by what I said that the Pink Butterfree being pink is an error because it was irrelevant to the plot.''

:It cannot be an error if it was made purposely by the editors and noted by the characters. And it was part of the plot as that's how they were able to pick it out of the swarm. Otherwise they would have been looking aimlessly for it.

::''Just because you are someone of high status here on Bulbapedia doesn't give you the right to act like a jerk and be discourteous to people who are trying to add more information to the site.''

:Now I am finding it hard to believe that you are sincere about your apology. My personal belief, I was never being discourteous to you. All I did was tell you I removed your trivia and to try and improve it. If anything, you were the one that was discourteous to me.

::''Like I said before, you should've messaged me before you made revisions to what I wrote. I didn't say you had to, but the ground rules did (see the top of my discussion page). It's in this way you have acted unprofessionally.''

:I don't have to message you about anything. Read what is stated near the "Save page" button again. And again, you are contradicting yourself. "Oh you don't have to but it's the rules" What? Either I have to or I don't.

:I explained in some of my edit summaries. What I gave you on your page was constructive critism. It just wasn't that detailed. If you wanted more detail, you should have simply asked me.

::''I'll leave it to you to make the revisions. If what you said was true, and I'm wrong about almost everything I've said, it would be a bad thing if I deleted something that was possibly correct, right?''

:But you don't make a note of it on the page itself. I explained that to you already. You go to the talk page. Every page has a talk page. Mentioning on the page itself is just unappealing to look at.

::''I think the nicknames impact the episodes a great deal because they help define the relationship Ash has with the character calling him that. Seeing as how Duplica and Lt.

:Well I don't think it impacts it in the least. And FYI, Duplica does appear in another episode. Duplica isn't the only character who calls Ash "Ashy-boy" anyway. Gary calls him that too.

"What you could have done was ask me politely what you did wrong and what my status is instead of saying how wrong I am for not using proper grammar."

What you could have done was to tell me politely that the edits I wrote were incorrect and explained to me in what way they were. The reason I pointed out your bad grammar was to emphasize that you were not following your own guidelines. As a leader in administration, this is something you should do to set a good example for the other users here on Bulbapedia.

"'I never said you needed to get my permission.' This is what you said in your first comment: "And you're violating Bulbapedia's policy by removing what I've written on a page without contacting me first." So... you never said that, huh?"

That's right, I never said you needed my permission. When I said, "... without contacting me first," I was referring to the ground rule that you should message me instead of deleting what I've written without doing so. Again, you should follow the guidelines you set for the rest of the community to set a good example.

"One revert is far from being an edit war. Some of them I explained why I reverted in the edit summary."

You're right, one revert is far from being an edit war. However, it wasn't just one revert; you made revisions on most of the edits I posted, as you've said. In addition, it would've become an edit war had I not known someone was deleting or revising my edits. I looked at some of your other discussion topics, and I saw a similar situation happened with RedLuigi. To prevent pointless edit wars like this in the future, I believe you should take the necessary precautions; that is, politely say who you are and what's wrong with the posts, and let the user take the incorrect posts down himself or herself.

"It cannot be an error if it was made purposely by the editors and noted by the characters. And it was part of the plot as that's how they were able to pick it out of the swarm. Otherwise they would have been looking aimlessly for it."

I see your reasoning, and I agree with you now. It's just a problem with semantics that this little debate with Pink Butterfree happened: I noted the Pink Butterfree as an error because it's inconsistent with what we know what color Butterfree should be. I'm glad we cleared this up.

"Now I am finding it hard to believe that you are sincere about your apology. My personal belief, I was never being discourteous to you. All I did was tell you I removed your trivia and to try and improve it. If anything, you were the one that was discourteous to me."

I really am sorry I overreacted and was discourteous. On the Internet it's very difficult to convey emotions, since we only have text. You'll just have to take my word for it. But you were discourteous, as I said before, since you took action without telling me who you were and why you made the changes you made. If you weren't being discourteous, I wouldn't be making a big deal about it now.

"'One more thing, if you quote someone inside a quote, you use ' instead of ". I'm not taking cheap shots here; I'm just trying to help you be better at writing.' is not the same as ". I was using '' to italicize your comment so that it is easier to see. And yeah, you kind a were when you said "You should learn to revise what you write if you make mistakes in English so often. This is another violation of Bulbapedia's "Good English" rule." when you were responding to a comment that had nothing to do with grammar."

Fine, I was taking a cheap shot when I was noting your bad grammar in my first post because I was upset, but I wasn't the second time. The fact that I'm not pointing out mistakes in your grammar anymore should prove I'm not upset anymore.

"That is pretty much the only excpetion. I was going to mention that but forgot to. Gender difference did not exist for Butterfree at the time and it also didn't have a gender in Gen I games."

Yes, Nidoran is an exception, but it's obviously irrelevant to what we're talking about now. No worries. But the article I edited was on the episode which did feature Butterfree with different genders. The whole plot was building up to the point where Butterfree left Ash in order to mate with the Pink Butterfree. It wouldn't make any sense to think they had the same gender. If this were an article on the game, then yes, I agree you would be absolutely right in saying there's no sexual difference between Butterfree in Generation I.

"I don't have to message you about anything. Read what is stated near the "Save page" button again. And again, you are contradicting yourself. "Oh you don't have to but it's the rules" What? Either I have to or I don't."

No, I'm not contradicting myself. I said you should follow the rules because you're a leader, and you should set a good example for the rest of the community to follow. There are things you have to do, don't have to do, should do, and shouldn't do. What you should or shouldn't do falls under a category called "ethics," and as a leader, I expect you to act according to the guidelines you set for everyone else (I'm referring to the ground rules) and not be "above the law." Erasing things without acting properly will just lead to edit wars as it did with RedLuigi and as it could have with me. You should take precautions in handling these situations as I explained before.

"But you don't make a note of it on the page itself. I explained that to you already. You go to the talk page. Every page has a talk page. Mentioning on the page itself is just unappealing to look at."

I didn't know every page had a talk page. So, when should I make a correction on the main page?

"So yeah, I don't believe you are truly sorry. You are still under the impression that this is mostly my fault for not explaining every little thing you did wrong when you clearly overreacted."

I'm not under the impression that this is mostly your fault. I said at the beginning of my last post on your discussion that I believe we're both at fault, and I wanted to imply by saying that that we both have something to learn from this on how we should act on Bulbapedia. Not to be rude, but I don't care who other people believe to be wrong or right in a situation that concerns only you and me. For all I know, they're siding with you because you're the senior administrator and I'm just a random user, and they're not considering my point of view as well as yours in making their choice.

I understand this is clogging up your discussion page, but please leave it up until we're done talking so we can refer back to what we've said. I'll go look at your comments on my page and reply now on my page. I'm pretty busy during the week with college work, so I won't be able to write so much during that time. I will on weekends, though. --[[User:ShalashaskaADV|ShalashaskaADV]] 08:22, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

I know speculation is agaist the rules but saying ''it was never explicitly stater that Lillipup evolved'' is like saying that it was never stated the Drew's Roserade, Paul's Tortera and May's Venasaur evolved from their respective pre-evloved forms that belonged to the character, just because Aloe is a more miour character dose not mean we should make exceptions, consider how Herdirer knew the same attacks as Lillipup, bar Giga Impact which synbolised its power gain upon evolution, Just somthing for you to ponder.

== Half-confimed genders ==

When an anime Pokémon has gender that is only confirmed in the dub or via a Nintendo event, should all "it"s be changed to "he"s or "she"s? Specifically, I'm referring to [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Zorua_%28Pok%C3%A9mon%29&action=historysubmit&diff=1346269&oldid=1343133 this edit]. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 06:56, 6 February 2011 (UTC)

== Abilities (and also Celebi) ==

Hey there KG. :D I was sorta wondering what the verdict is on anime Pokémon that only have one ability in-game. Well more specifically [[Celebi (movie 13)|Celebi]]. It can only have Natural Cure in the games and I was thinking that might be what it used on Zoroark as she "died". What do you think? Or do we need to keep it "until a character flat out says its ability"? [[Typhlosion|★]][[User:Jo The Marten|Jo the Marten]][[Flygon|★]] [[User_talk:Jo The Marten|ಠ_ಠ]] 02:05, 8 February 2011 (UTC)

== Moves ==

Hey Kenji...I was wondering something. I remember in an earlier edit of Dawn's Togekiss that the Sky Attack Peck combo image was removed due to it taking up too much space. But I was just wondering...why not put it in the move box? Improvised or not, it's still an attack right? And it takes up less space if it's with the other move images [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] 20:09, 8 February 2011 (UTC)
:If it is not a in-game move, even if combined from two in-game moves, it doesn't go in the box. We don't need that "Togekiss being motherly" or "Togekiss much larger in its debut" pictures. You can get rid of one of those to make space, preferably the "large Togekiss" one as it is better suited for [[DP170]]. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 20:14, 8 February 2011 (UTC)

Guys, I ''really'' didn't mean to do that. And you guys talking behind my back doesn't help. If you saw my talk page, you would see that I took 30 minutes of my time to kindly respond to this issue, and you guys haven't responded back since. That little trivia about it being a Poison-type move or a Water-type move was there for at least 7 hours (I kept track), and then I saw that it was removed. My first instinct was to add it back, but it kept getting deleted over and over. I thought some random troll was doing all this until I noticed I got a message. It said that I shouldn't be adding something again and again and got a warning. So how does that happen if that trivia was there for more than 7 hours? Why wait on me to do that? Its like you guys were ''luring'' me to do that. And I only joined this Wiki a month ago to help tribue a little.

I can't tell if you're mad at me or not, but please don't assume I did that on purpose. The way you guys typed those responces to me and deleted one of my posts on Scald's talk page made me feel like you guys want to ban me. After all, the good must die young, right? [/scarcasm]

I'm very sorry for all that I done. I didn't mean to vandalize that page. I feel really, really bad now, and I promise not to do that again. I didn't even know that stuff wasn't allowed for triva on moves, abilities, etc.

Thanks for reading. I hope to hear back soon. :(

== My Trivia ==

"[Your trivia has] been less than satisfactory, I hate to tell you. Much of it is unnotable or incorrect and I had to revert most of your edits."

Would you care to tell me specifically what I've said that's incorrect and an explanation of how it is? And you're violating Bulbapedia's policy by removing what I've written on a page without contacting me first.

"The Pink Butterfree is no way shape or form an error. It existed way before gender differences and shiny Pokémon were created. They animators can't foretell the future."

Yes, the Pink Butterfree is an error. Wild-type Butterfree are not pink--just check out the article on Butterfree here on Bulbapedia. The Pink Butterfree is an aberration from the wild-type; therefore, it is an error. Do you not agree?

What do you mean the Pink Butterfree existed way before gender differences and shiny Pokemon? In Episode 21 (Bye Bye Butterfree), Ash's Butterfree was male, and the Pink Butterfree was female. That's a gender difference, is it not? You're the one who's writing incorrect information.

"They animators?" Put whatever you type into a spellcheck before you post it on the site. Once again, you're violating Bulbapedia's rule about having good spelling and grammar.

"And when you see a piece of trivia or an error that is incorrect and is stated in the article, just remove it. Don't put "Actually the first piece of trivia is incorrect" directly in the article as that is very unprofessional. If you want so say something is incorrect, please go to the talk page of the article."

What's unprofessional is removing something that's incorrect rather than writing a correction for it, especially when you haven't checked to see whether what you're removing is really correct or not. That would be what you're doing. And I never said, "Actually the first piece of trivia is incorrect." Don't quote my saying something I never said.

"If you want so say something is incorrect, please go to the talk page of the article."

You should learn to revise what you write if you make mistakes in English so often. This is another violation of Bulbapedia's "Good English" rule.

"One more thing, please be sure you put trivia in the correct article. Duplica and Lt. Surge's nicknames for Ash belong in their articles, not the episode articles."

Who are you to say where trivia belongs. The nicknames I've mentioned were only brought up in the particular episodes that Lt. Surge and Duplica were in. Therefore, the trivia deserves to stay in the articles pertaining to the episodes. If you want to put it in Lt. Surge and Duplica's articles, then go ahead. Actually, it would be a good idea to put it in both the personal articles and the episode articles.

You should really treat your new members better. {{unsigned|ShalashaskaADV}}

::''And you're violating Bulbapedia's policy by removing what I've written on a page without contacting me first.''

:See, when you edit, there's this notice near the "Save page" button that says "'''Please note that all contributions to Bulbapedia may be edited, altered, or removed by other contributors.'''"

:Games =/= Anime. I'm really not sure what you mean by "Wild-type" but I know that normal Butterfree are white. But everyone in the episode '''specifically''' noted that this Butterfree was different. An error is when they color Ash's hat wrong or something. When it is being used as a plot device, it is far from being an error.

:When I said "gender differences", I meant [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|this]]''. I am fully aware that genders existed in the anime since the beginning. But genders in games did not exist until Generation II and differences did not exist until Generation IV.

::''"They animators?" Put whatever you type into a spellcheck before you post it on the site. Once again, you're violating Bulbapedia's rule about having good spelling and grammar.''

:That really applies only to the articles. Not talk pages. I try to watch what I say but I do have learning disabilities and can sometimes miss minor errors like those. I apologize. But hey, thanks for reminding me.

::''What's unprofessional is removing something that's incorrect rather than writing a correction for it, especially when you haven't checked to see whether what you're removing is really correct or not.

::''You should learn to revise what you write if you make mistakes in English so often. This is another violation of Bulbapedia's "Good English" rule.''

::''You should really treat your new members better.''

You are reacting '''''way''''' too defensively towards someone trying to help you understand how Bulbapedia works. Please don't take it so personally. I use to submit not so great trivia too when I first started. Without the admins correcting me, I might still be doing it. It's called '''constructive criticism'''. Please learn from it, not bash the one that gave it to you. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 02:22, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

I'm sorry if I did take it too personally, but how do you expect me to react when someone out of the blue tells me that what I've said is not true and calls me unprofessional and deletes what I've written without giving an explanation? Perhaps both of us are at fault here. So, you're the Project Anime leader? It would have been nice if you introduced yourself first before saying all that. Now, as for what you've written, here's my reply:

"So no, I do not have to 'get your permission' to remove it first. And just so you know, I am the head of Project Anime and it is my duty to have quality control over all articles that are covered by it. That includes episode articles."

I never said you needed to get my permission. One of the rules that Carmen posted on my page (a "ground rule") says that instead of having an edit-war, we should talk about what's wrong first before you make any changes. Now, you said most of the trivia facts I wrote were wrong, but you weren't specific on which ones. I'm still awaiting your reply on this. One more thing, if you quote someone inside a quote, you use ' instead of ". I'm not taking cheap shots here; I'm just trying to help you be better at writing.

"But genders in games did not exist until Generation II and differences did not exist until Generation IV."

This is most certainly not true. Nidoran existed in Generation I, and it had different evolution paths, depending whether it was male or female.

"I'm really not sure what you mean by 'Wild-type' but I know that normal Butterfree are white. But everyone in the episode '''specifically''' noted that this Butterfree was different. An error is when they color Ash's hat wrong or something. When it is being used as a plot device, it is far from being an error."

Sorry about the jargon. "Wild-type" is what biologists call a specimen that's natural (i.e. what you find in the wild) as opposed to one that's mutated into something else (one that's unnatural). Anyway, I understand now what you mean by error. I'll keep it in mind the next time I make an edit. That being said, I stand by what I said that the Pink Butterfree being pink is an error because it was irrelevant to the plot. What was relevant was that the Pink Butterfree was a female that Ash's Butterfree was interested in. Consequently, it became a reason for Ash to let his Butterfree go. The fact that the Pink Butterfree was pink had nothing to do with the plot--it was just a tool the storywriters used to help the viewers (us) distinguish the Butterfrees of interest between all the others that were in the episode. I've explained my reasoning, so feel free to delete my edit now if you'd like.

"See, when you edit, there's this notice near the 'Save page' button that says ''''Please note that all contributions to Bulbapedia may be edited, altered, or removed by other contributors.'''' So no, I do not have to 'get your permission' to remove it first. And just so you know, I am the head of Project Anime and it is my duty to have quality control over all articles that are covered by it. That includes episode articles."

Just because you are someone of high status here on Bulbapedia doesn't give you the right to act like a jerk and be discourteous to people who are trying to add more information to the site. Like I said before, you should've messaged me before you made revisions to what I wrote. I didn't say you had to, but the ground rules did (see the top of my discussion page). It's in this way you have acted unprofessionally.

"I use to submit not so great trivia too when I first started. Without the admins correcting me, I might still be doing it. It's called '''constructive criticism'''"

Again I'm coming back to this: What trivia have I written that isn't correct? Constructive critism is not what you gave; you made revisions/deletions to my posts without saying what was wrong. So far, you've only brought up the Pink Butterfree, which is one edit I've made. It's not "most" of what I've written.

"You wrote that the first error is not really an error. It would have been better if you just (A. Removed it or (B. Consulted the talk page"

I'll leave it to you to make the revisions. If what you said was true, and I'm wrong about almost everything I've said, it would be a bad thing if I deleted something that was possibly correct, right?

"Those would look much better on Lt. Surge's and Duplica's pages. It's more about their character than about the episode. It doesn't need to be on both."

I think the nicknames impact the episodes a great deal because they help define the relationship Ash has with the character calling him that. Seeing as how Duplica and Lt. Surge don't appear in any other episodes (as far as I know), then the nicknames are unique to the episodes as well as the characters using them. Thus, it should be on both the personal articles and the episode articles.

To wrap it up, I'd just like to ask that anyone who isn't on the administration or involved with this conversation not get involved? I would appreciate it. --[[User:ShalashaskaADV|ShalashaskaADV]] 03:52, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

::''I'm sorry if I did take it too personally, but how do you expect me to react when someone out of the blue tells me that what I've said is not true and calls me unprofessional and deletes what I've written without giving an explanation? Perhaps both of us are at fault here. So, you're the Project Anime leader? It would have been nice if you introduced yourself first before saying all that.''

:I really don't have the time to explain everything. But I'll try to do it in the future. But you really flipped about a simple word of advice. What you could have done was ask me politely what you did wrong and what my status is instead of saying how wrong I am for not using proper grammar.

::''I never said you needed to get my permission.''
:This is what you said in your first comment: "And you're violating Bulbapedia's policy by removing what I've written on a page without contacting me first." So... you never said that, huh?

::"One of the rules that Carmen posted on my page (a "ground rule") says that instead of having an edit-war, we should talk about what's wrong first before you make any changes.''

:One revert is far from being an edit war. Some of them I explained why I reverted in the edit summary.

::''Now, you said most of the trivia facts I wrote were wrong, but you weren't specific on which ones. I'm still awaiting your reply on this.''

:See your talk page about this.

::''One more thing, if you quote someone inside a quote, you use ' instead of ". I'm not taking cheap shots here; I'm just trying to help you be better at writing.''

:<nowiki>''</nowiki> is not the same as ". I was using <nowiki>''</nowiki> to italicize your comment so that it is easier to see. And yeah, you kind a were when you said "You should learn to revise what you write if you make mistakes in English so often. This is another violation of Bulbapedia's "Good English" rule." when you were responding to a comment that had nothing to do with grammar.

::''This is most certainly not true. Nidoran existed in Generation I, and it had different evolution paths, depending whether it was male or female.''

:That is pretty much the '''only''' excpetion. I was going to mention that but forgot to. Gender difference did not exist for Butterfree at the time and it also didn't have a gender in Gen I games.

::''That being said, I stand by what I said that the Pink Butterfree being pink is an error because it was irrelevant to the plot.''

:It cannot be an error if it was made purposely by the editors and noted by the characters. And it was part of the plot as that's how they were able to pick it out of the swarm. Otherwise they would have been looking aimlessly for it.

::''Just because you are someone of high status here on Bulbapedia doesn't give you the right to act like a jerk and be discourteous to people who are trying to add more information to the site.''

:Now I am finding it hard to believe that you are sincere about your apology. My personal belief, I was never being discourteous to you. All I did was tell you I removed your trivia and to try and improve it. If anything, you were the one that was discourteous to me.

::''Like I said before, you should've messaged me before you made revisions to what I wrote. I didn't say you had to, but the ground rules did (see the top of my discussion page). It's in this way you have acted unprofessionally.''

:I don't have to message you about anything. Read what is stated near the "Save page" button again. And again, you are contradicting yourself. "Oh you don't have to but it's the rules" What? Either I have to or I don't.

::''Again I'm coming back to this: What trivia have I written that isn't correct? Constructive critism is not what you gave; you made revisions/deletions to my posts without saying what was wrong. So far, you've only brought up the Pink Butterfree, which is one edit I've made. It's not "most" of what I've written.''

:I explained in some of my edit summaries. What I gave you on your page was constructive critism. It just wasn't that detailed. If you wanted more detail, you should have simply asked me.

::''I'll leave it to you to make the revisions. If what you said was true, and I'm wrong about almost everything I've said, it would be a bad thing if I deleted something that was possibly correct, right?''

:But you don't make a note of it on the page itself. I explained that to you already. You go to the talk page. Every page has a talk page. Mentioning on the page itself is just unappealing to look at.

::''I think the nicknames impact the episodes a great deal because they help define the relationship Ash has with the character calling him that. Seeing as how Duplica and Lt. Surge don't appear in any other episodes (as far as I know), then the nicknames are unique to the episodes as well as the characters using them. Thus, it should be on both the personal articles and the episode articles.''

:Well I don't think it impacts it in the least. And FYI, Duplica does appear in another episode. Duplica isn't the only character who calls Ash "Ashy-boy" anyway. Gary calls him that too.

:So yeah, I don't believe you are truly sorry. You are still under the impression that this is mostly my fault for not explaining every little thing you did wrong when you clearly overreacted. And it isn't just me who is saying it. CoolPikachu! and Carmenstar97 also agree. But I will say that I am sorry for not giving you all the details on what was wrong. At the time, I was busy performing multiple tasks both online and off. I'm going to leave a message on your talk about what was wrong as I don't want to clog up my talk anymore. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 05:20, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

"What you could have done was ask me politely what you did wrong and what my status is instead of saying how wrong I am for not using proper grammar."

What you could have done was to tell me politely that the edits I wrote were incorrect and explained to me in what way they were. The reason I pointed out your bad grammar was to emphasize that you were not following your own guidelines. As a leader in administration, this is something you should do to set a good example for the other users here on Bulbapedia.

"'I never said you needed to get my permission.' This is what you said in your first comment: "And you're violating Bulbapedia's policy by removing what I've written on a page without contacting me first." So... you never said that, huh?"

That's right, I never said you needed my permission. When I said, "... without contacting me first," I was referring to the ground rule that you should message me instead of deleting what I've written without doing so. Again, you should follow the guidelines you set for the rest of the community to set a good example.

"One revert is far from being an edit war. Some of them I explained why I reverted in the edit summary."

You're right, one revert is far from being an edit war. However, it wasn't just one revert; you made revisions on most of the edits I posted, as you've said. In addition, it would've become an edit war had I not known someone was deleting or revising my edits. I looked at some of your other discussion topics, and I saw a similar situation happened with RedLuigi. To prevent pointless edit wars like this in the future, I believe you should take the necessary precautions; that is, politely say who you are and what's wrong with the posts, and let the user take the incorrect posts down himself or herself.

"It cannot be an error if it was made purposely by the editors and noted by the characters. And it was part of the plot as that's how they were able to pick it out of the swarm. Otherwise they would have been looking aimlessly for it."

I see your reasoning, and I agree with you now. It's just a problem with semantics that this little debate with Pink Butterfree happened: I noted the Pink Butterfree as an error because it's inconsistent with what we know what color Butterfree should be. I'm glad we cleared this up.

"Now I am finding it hard to believe that you are sincere about your apology. My personal belief, I was never being discourteous to you. All I did was tell you I removed your trivia and to try and improve it. If anything, you were the one that was discourteous to me."

I really am sorry I overreacted and was discourteous. On the Internet it's very difficult to convey emotions, since we only have text. You'll just have to take my word for it. But you were discourteous, as I said before, since you took action without telling me who you were and why you made the changes you made. If you weren't being discourteous, I wouldn't be making a big deal about it now.

"'One more thing, if you quote someone inside a quote, you use ' instead of ". I'm not taking cheap shots here; I'm just trying to help you be better at writing.' is not the same as ". I was using '' to italicize your comment so that it is easier to see. And yeah, you kind a were when you said "You should learn to revise what you write if you make mistakes in English so often. This is another violation of Bulbapedia's "Good English" rule." when you were responding to a comment that had nothing to do with grammar."

Fine, I was taking a cheap shot when I was noting your bad grammar in my first post because I was upset, but I wasn't the second time. The fact that I'm not pointing out mistakes in your grammar anymore should prove I'm not upset anymore.

"That is pretty much the only excpetion. I was going to mention that but forgot to. Gender difference did not exist for Butterfree at the time and it also didn't have a gender in Gen I games."

Yes, Nidoran is an exception, but it's obviously irrelevant to what we're talking about now. No worries. But the article I edited was on the episode which did feature Butterfree with different genders. The whole plot was building up to the point where Butterfree left Ash in order to mate with the Pink Butterfree. It wouldn't make any sense to think they had the same gender. If this were an article on the game, then yes, I agree you would be absolutely right in saying there's no sexual difference between Butterfree in Generation I.

"I don't have to message you about anything. Read what is stated near the "Save page" button again. And again, you are contradicting yourself. "Oh you don't have to but it's the rules" What? Either I have to or I don't."

No, I'm not contradicting myself. I said you should follow the rules because you're a leader, and you should set a good example for the rest of the community to follow. There are things you have to do, don't have to do, should do, and shouldn't do. What you should or shouldn't do falls under a category called "ethics," and as a leader, I expect you to act according to the guidelines you set for everyone else (I'm referring to the ground rules) and not be "above the law." Erasing things without acting properly will just lead to edit wars as it did with RedLuigi and as it could have with me. You should take precautions in handling these situations as I explained before.

"But you don't make a note of it on the page itself. I explained that to you already. You go to the talk page. Every page has a talk page. Mentioning on the page itself is just unappealing to look at."

I didn't know every page had a talk page. So, when should I make a correction on the main page?

"So yeah, I don't believe you are truly sorry. You are still under the impression that this is mostly my fault for not explaining every little thing you did wrong when you clearly overreacted."

I'm not under the impression that this is mostly your fault. I said at the beginning of my last post on your discussion that I believe we're both at fault, and I wanted to imply by saying that that we both have something to learn from this on how we should act on Bulbapedia. Not to be rude, but I don't care who other people believe to be wrong or right in a situation that concerns only you and me. For all I know, they're siding with you because you're the senior administrator and I'm just a random user and they're not considering my point of view as well as yours in making their choice.

I understand this is clogging up your discussion page, but please leave it up until we're done talking so we can refer back to what we've said. I'll go look at your comments on my page and reply now on my page. I'm pretty busy during the week with college work, so I won't be able to write so much during that time. I will on weekends, though.

She's not using proper grammar and spelling. She said she reverted most of my edits, which is completely against the "Use talk pages to resolve editing disputes.

== Thank you man !! ==

Hey I just wanted to thank you for posting that last news! Knowing about that Celebi made me very very happy, but to know that there are some people interested in international stuff that they don't ignore it is just gold n_n. Really thank you, I'll be sure to go and get one for you if you wanted me to, I have two pre-order tickets! Btw I didn't know you were 16, I'm 17 xD.. Cool haha. See you around. [[User:YukitoOoO|YukitoOoO]] 06:56, 7 February 2011 (UTC)
:Hahah no problem, Bulbanews does news about international events and we can't forget them :D. I'd like a Celebi from the event /pushy. Yeah, I'm 16 xD. Oh, are BW going to be released in Spanish this time around in Latin America :S? --[[Special:Contributions/CoolPikachu!|'''☆''']][[User:CoolPikachu!|'''Cool''']][[User talk:CoolPikachu!|'''Pikachu!''']] 07:03, 7 February 2011 (UTC)
::No, they won't :(. They said in pokemon.com, in some random questiom-replying, that HG/SS might (or that they'd think about) releasing them in Spanish, but of course they didn't. And BW's official spanish mini website all info is in English, so my guess is no :'(. Yeah I know, Bulbanews is international, but it isn't always like that, did you know that "PokéMex" does a big tournament every year during December and that Bulbanews has never posted anything about it? :/ Well this year they couldn't make it, so there wasn't any. But they've made like ten (or more) in the last 10 or more years! And... Bulbanews knew nothing.[[User:YukitoOoO|YukitoOoO]] 07:15, 7 February 2011 (UTC)
:::Yeah, Bulbanews needs the help of the community in order to have things reported haha. Well, that sucks I was thinking of getting that versions as I saw the site had both English and Spanish screenshots. --[[Special:Contributions/CoolPikachu!|'''☆''']][[User:CoolPikachu!|'''Cool''']][[User talk:CoolPikachu!|'''Pikachu!''']] 07:18, 7 February 2011 (UTC)
::::I know! Yeah, but the Spanish parts are only for explanation, moves, places and people/pokémon, all are in English, and so will the games be. I'll try to help a little bit more about these kind of news. I didn't do it before because I kept thinking "This is an English site! They don't give a!" hahah, but now I guess they did all this time! So I'll have my head up!![[User:YukitoOoO|YukitoOoO]] 07:24, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

== Hello ==

Have you read what Kenji-Girl wrote to me?

She's not using proper grammar and spelling. She said she reverted most of my edits, which is completely against the "Use talk pages to resolve editing disputes. Don't 'edit war,' or constantly re-edit/undo..." rule. Also, she's not being nice. In fact, her actions constitute harassment if you ask me.

Do you still disagree? How is she helping me?

Thank you for your input, CoolPikachu!. --[[User:ShalashaskaADV|ShalashaskaADV]] 02:24, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

Hello Carmen,

There's a user here on Bulbapedia that's breaking the code of conduct you gave to me on my discussion page. The user is Kenji-Girl, although it's in Japanese lettering. I would appreciate it if you could help out or forward this message to someone on the administration who can. --[[User:ShalashaskaADV|ShalashaskaADV]] 02:03, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

'''Bye Bye Butterfree''' (Japanese: '''バイバイバタフリー''' ''Bye-Bye Butterfree'') is the 21st episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It was first broadcast in Japan on August 19, 1997 and in the United States on October 5, 1998.

{{spoilers}}
==Synopsis==
On the way to [[Saffron City]], {{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}} arrive at a high cliff. Brock informs the others that the ridge of the cliff should lead right to Saffron City. Then Ash notices a large group of {{p|Butterfree}} in the horizon. Brock states that the Butterfree are celebrating their season of love to find a mate.

The group rents a hot-air balloon and are soon in the air following the Butterfree. Ash sends his {{AP|Butterfree}} to find a mate but it struggles to get any interest from the other Butterfree. Brock states that none of the Butterfree may be "its type", pointing out the unique differences among all Butterfree. They then notice that other trainers brought their Butterfree, especially a girl Brock falls in love with. Ash's Butterfree flies back to Ash and friends, and after they cheer up the Butterfree it returns to seeking a lifetime mate. Very soon Butterfree falls in love with a [[pink Butterfree]]. The pink Butterfree, however, rejects Ash's Butterfree's proposal. Ash's Butterfree keeps on trying, but the pink one eventually slaps it across the face with its wing. Being shot down, Ash's teary-eyed Butterfree then flies away into a forest.

Eventually Ash, Misty, {{AP|Pikachu}} and Brock find Butterfree in the forest. Totally surprised, they discuss about how they could help Butterfree. Ash decides to check if the [[Pokédex]] could help, but Misty notes that "Dexter's never been in love," so they instead decide to go with a show-off strategy. Ash tells his Butterfree to show its strength to win the love of the pink Butterfree. In order to make Butterfree also look better, Brock puts a scarf around its neck.

They return to the air with Butterfree. After failing to impress the pink Butterfree with {{m|Whirlwind}} and {{m|Tackle}}, [[Team Rocket]] arrives in a helicopter. They sing their [[Team Rocket's motto|motto]] as usual and then go after the Butterfree using a net to gather them. Ash and friends try to make Team Rocket change their mind, but it fails. Soon all the Butterfree are captured by Team Rocket, save Ash's Butterfree. Butterfree then tries to break into the helicopter by using its Tackle attack on the glass, but it fails. It also tries to stop them with {{m|Stun Spore}}, but it fails as well. Ash is about to recall Butterfree and use {{AP|Pidgeotto}} instead, but Misty prevents this because Ash could hurt Butterfree's feelings. Team Rocket leaves the scene and Ash's Butterfree rushes after them. Ash and friends follow it to a warehouse in the middle of a bare canyon.

Ash and friends break in through a window while Team Rocket reviews their catch. They improvise a mock-up version of their motto. Team Rocket tries to prevent them from winning, but Ash's Butterfree dashes through them. Misty calls her {{TP|Misty|Starmie}} out of its [[Poké Ball]] and commands it to chase Team Rocket with a Tackle attack. Meanwhile, Butterfree begins to Tackle the net bag holding the other Butterfree. After repeated attempts, Butterfree manages to break open the bag. [[Jessie]] hits Starmie with a hammer, but Misty revives it by spraying water on it. Brock opens the doors and the Butterfree fly out of the warehouse. Team Rocket tries desperately to catch the fleeing Butterfree with small nets, though they fail. Ash's Butterfree, exhausted from breaking the net, is still inside, the pink Butterfree approaching it, impressed by its determination. [[James]] tries to catch it, but Ash's Butterfree knocks James away, also making the pink Butterfree to blush.

Team Rocket attempts to steal the Butterfree again by getting back in the air with their helicopter. Ash and his friends follow them with their rented balloon and they soon find them. As the pink Butterfree watches, Ash's Butterfree flies towards Team Rocket's helicopter with Pikachu on his back. Pikachu jumps on the helicopter and destroys the helicopter with an electric attack, sending Team Rocket down into the darkness. Having witnessed the determination of Ash's Butterfree, the pink Butterfree shows its new love by making its own proposal dance. Naturally, Ash's Butterfree joins the dance.

Back at the cliff, Ash, filled with emotions, farewells the Butterfree couple. As they fly into the sunset, a flashback of Ash's memories is shown. Ash remembers first capturing {{AP|Caterpie}}, then it evolving into a {{AP|Metapod}} and finally into Butterfree. He remembers times with Butterfree such as battling [[Misty's Staryu]] for the {{Badge|Cascade}}. As Misty tells Ash Butterfree is nearly out of sight, he wishes Butterfree good luck. Everyone watches the sun set as another adventure ends.

==Trivia==
* In this episode the [[Team Rocket's motto]] is ripped off for the first time.
* This is the first episode in which a main character releases a Pokémon.
* This episode marks the debut of [[Team Rocket]]'s [[Boss fantasy|boss fantasies]].
* This is one of the few episode titles to be exactly the same, in spoken words, in English and Japanese.
* A common and popular misconception was that Ash's Butterfree was to die after mating with the Pink Butterfree in the Japanese Version. However, SPPf's Murgatroyd was the first to debunk the rumors, and Dogasu [http://dogasu.bulbagarden.net/comparisons/kanto/ep021.html officially debunked] the rumor once and for all.
* This is the first episode where Ash sheds tears.

===Errors===
===Dub edits===
*At the end of the episode, the song that plays during the scene of Ash and friends saying goodbye to Butterfree is different in both versions: the Japanese version uses ''[[Aim to Be a Pokémon Master]]'', while the English version uses ''[[Pokémon Theme]]''. However, they are both the first theme songs for their respective versions (Japanese and English).
*A shot of Ash giving commands to Butterfree was replaced with Butterfree doing a skydive.
*The banner that had Team Rocket's motto had the text edited out.
*Meowth's mention of becoming the top cat again was him saying "when we tell the boss..." and trailing off.
*During the scene in which Ash and his friends pursue Team Rocket and then Pikachu uses ThunderShock, an instrumental version of [[Kanto Pokérap]] is played in the European Portuguese dub.

* This is one of the few episode titles to be exactly the same, in spoken words, in English and Japanese.
* A common and popular misconception was that Ash's Butterfree was to die after mating with the Pink Butterfree in the Japanese Version. However, SPPf's Murgatroyd was the first to debunk the rumors, and Dogasu [http://dogasu.bulbagarden.net/comparisons/kanto/ep021.html officially debunked] the rumor once and for all.

===Errors===
* Normally all Butterfree are the same color whether they're male or female; however, the pink Butterfree is one of the only wild-type Pokémon in the series with a color anomaly. (Another instance of a color anomaly was the red Gyarados in the Johto region, but it's uncertain whether the red color was natural or if it was due to its evolution being forced)

===Dub edits===
*At the end of the episode, the song that plays during the scene of Ash and friends saying goodbye to Butterfree is different in both versions: the Japanese version uses ''[[Aim to Be a Pokémon Master]]'', while the English version uses ''[[Pokémon Theme]]''. However, they are both the first theme songs for their respective versions (Japanese and English).
*A shot of Ash giving commands to Butterfree was replaced with Butterfree doing a skydive.
*The banner that had Team Rocket's motto had the text edited out.
*Meowth's mention of becoming the top cat again was him saying "when we tell the boss..." and trailing off.
*During the scene in which Ash and his friends pursue Team Rocket and then Pikachu uses ThunderShock, an instrumental version of [[Kanto Pokérap]] is played in the European Portuguese dub.

'''Snow Way Out!''' (Japanese: '''イワークでビバーク''' ''{{tt|Iwark|Onix}} as a {{tt|Bivouac|A military encampment, usually a tent}}'') is a special episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It was first broadcast in Japan on October 5, 1998, following ''[[Holiday Hi-Jynx]]'', and in the United States on December 18, 1999. It was initially intended to be EP040, airing on January 6, 1998, but was rescheduled following the [[EP038]] incident.

{{spoilers}}
==Synopsis==
As Ash, Misty, Brock and Pikachu continue on their journey, they come across a fork in the road. The trail to the right leads into a huge mountain. Ash's dense self decides to take the trail that goes into the mountain, and the others follow him. They then come across a very steep, snowy path that Misty claims they will need a ski-lift to get them to the top. Misty and Brock both want to turn around and go the other way, but Ash is different, and he claims that a Pokémon Master always stays on course, no matter what the conditions, and that he won't let a little pile of snow stop him. The simple mountain they have stumbled upon turns out to be a huge mountain range.

As the gang head up the trail through the mountain, with Misty and Brock wearing blankets (and are still freezing) because they are so cold, and Brock's compass is going crazy. He then figures out that the mountain has so much iron, it's throwing the needle off. They then realize that if the compass doesn't work, it will be difficult to find their way. But Brock says that if the sun is up in the position it's in at 3:00, and according to his calculations... they're lost. Misty shouts at Ash to get them off the mountain, and he sends out his Pidgeotto to find a trail that will lead them off the mountain. Pidgeotto flies around and eventually finds one, and it flies back to Ash and his friends, and points them in the direction of the trail. They then follow Pidgeotto while it guides them.

The camera pans over to a wide shot of Team Rocket, and the scene has transitioned. James and Meowth hug each other because they are both freezing, but not Jessie- as it turns out she loves the snow. James can't believe it, and Jessie says that it brings back memories. She then can't believe that James and Meowth haven't ever had a "snowgasboard" (a reference to "Smorgasboard"). She says that it was one of the few memories of her wretched and poverty-stricken childhood. The scene cuts to a flashback of Jessie as a little girl, and her mother, Miyamoto, calls her inside for her Snowgasboard. It contains: snow onigiri with snow sauce, a sampler of sushi-snow rolls, snow potatoes with sour cream and for dessert: a bowl of her favorite snow pudding. Jessie reminisces about her happy experiences, as James and Meowth think she is joking. Jessie says that snow food is low and fat and it helped her maintain her self-proclaimed fabulous figure. She then reminisces further about snow potatoes mixed with soy sauce, and that only fresh snow will do. James and Meowth are grossed out. James then says that they can head off Ash and his friends using the Meowth balloon. They then recite their motto. While reciting it, the balloon has drifted off and is now way up in the air. They chase after it without any luck.

The scene transitions to black clouds which could only mean one thing on a snowy mountain: a potential blizzard. The scene transitions again to our heroes as it starts to snow. They realize that the sky was clear just a little while ago and that the weather is totally unpredictable on this mountain. They know they have to get moving fast before a snow storm hits.

The scene transitions to Team Rocket again as the balloon is almost out of sight. All of their food and supplies are on that balloon. Jessie starts to look at the snow and then tells them she can make snow rolls. James and Meowth don't want them, and Jessie wants to walk further to where the balloon is so she can get some soy sauce. Meowth says that he would rather have ketchup on his snow rolls.

The scene cuts to Ash, Misty and Brock braving what used to be light snow has now turned into a full-on snowstorm. They start to contemplate setting up camp, but Ash, as diligent as ever, argues that the trail leading them out of the mountain is probably close by. Brock reminds him that the sun is going to set soon, and not even the bravest Pokémon trainer would wander around in a snowstorm in the dark. Ash agrees, and as Brock says they should start to dig a cave, the snowstorm starts to intensify and the intense wind knocks Ash down, and he lets go of Pikachu and the Mouse Pokémon is blown away, completely out of sight. Ash chases after Pikachu and Misty wants to stop Ash, but Brock stops her and the storm starts to intensify even more.

As Ash walks through deep snow while repeatedly calling for Pikachu in the brutal snowstorm, he collapses. Then he hears something: Pikachu's voice. Ash calls back to Pikachu, Pikachu responds, and Ash follows the direction of Pikachu's voice. As he walks, he falls down a small cliff. He then hears Pikachu's voice close by. He then sees the small yellow Pokémon and it is hanging by one arm from a wedge on a very high cliff. Ash tries to grab Pikachu, but it falls down the cliff, yet manages to grab onto another wedge. Ash thinks and comes up with a solution: Bulbasaur. He sends it out and it uses Vine Whip to grab Pikachu. But Pikachu cannot hold on and it falls down the cliff again. Bulbasaur acts fast and grabs Pikachu with its vines just in the nick of time. They pull Pikachu up to their level and Pikachu and Ash embrace. Pikachu does a facial expression of Brock and in doing so, he reminds Ash that they need to get up the small cliff Ash fell down before and get back to Misty and Brock. He tries climbing up the cliff, but to no avail. He tries calling their names, but this doesn't work either. Ash then comes up with an idea to dig a snow cave. He then sends out Charmander and it uses Flamethrower to blast through the snow. It does a good job of building the cave and then, Ash sends out Bulbasaur and Squirtle to help seal the cave off from the ferocious snowstorm. It takes them a while, but they do it. Ash then tries to figure out how to heat up the cave. Bulbasaur suggests to Charmander to make its tail flame more intense, and it does so.

''Most of the next scene was cut for the dub, so there are some parts that only appear in the original Japanese version. The sections in bold are the Japanese version only.''

The scene transitions to Team Rocket inside an igloo. James wonders how they are going to survive, while '''Meowth holds a match''' (a candle in the dub) that blows out. Jessie has 2 snow rolls in hand, and she proclaims it is dinner time. '''While Meowth lights another match, James asks if she has anything else to eat other than snow rolls. Jessie says it is the only thing, and she says it is good for them. Then she asks James to eat them. He declines her offer. Meowth's match blows out, and it lights another one. They ask Jessie if she has any more food. She says she does, she has more snow rolls.''' James then says he is not in the mood for frozen food. Meowth then tells them that all they have left are burnt-out matches, and James says that if they use their imagination, they can pretend they are heating lamps and that will be enough to keep them warm. '''Meowth then lights another match, and the camera moves in on him and the scene transitions.''' Meowth imagines himself in bathing in a hot spring. James imagines himself sitting in beach chair on the beach tanning. Jessie then imagines herself in thick clothing, sitting in a desert with heaters around her. The scene transitions back to the igloo '''and Jessie is holding another lit match, which goes out''', and she sees that James and Meowth have fallen asleep. She slaps them around and they wake up. They then fall asleep again and she shouts at them to wake up, of they will freeze to death. She slaps them around some more.

As the brutal snowstorm rages on, the scene transitions back to Ash's cave where he and 4 of his Pokémon are staying. Ash wonders where Misty and Brock are and how they are doing. But there is a new problem: After a long time of keeping the others warm, Charmander's tail flame starts to weaken. Charmander is exhausted after it used up all of its flame. Ash tells Charmander to get back into its Poké Ball, but it refuses, but Ash calls it back anyway, much to Charmander's shock. Ash then figures that the Pokémon should be warm inside their Poké Balls. So, he tells Bulbasaur and Squirtle back into their Poké Balls, and like Charmander, they refuse too. Ash calls them back anyway, much to their shock. Ash then attempts to call Pikachu back into its Poké Ball, but Pikachu refuses, and it clings onto Ash. Ash is touched by Pikachu's gesture of trying to keep its trainer warm and he accepts its decision.

As the time passes, Ash and Pikachu are freezing cold, and Ash wonders if his other Pokémon are warm enough inside their Poké Balls. But now, the snowstorm has gotten so bad that a part of the snow wall has broken through. Ash runs over to the hole and sits in front of it, blocking the snow coming in, and Ash is already struggling to cope with the extremely intense cold weather. Now that the situation has become this bad, Ash tells Pikachu to get inside its Poké Ball. Pikachu again refuses, worrying for Ash's safety and Ash assures Pikachu he will be okay, as long as he knows Pikachu will be safe. Finally, Ash ''orders'' Pikachu to get inside the Poké Ball. Pikachu refuses once more. Then, the rest of Ash's Pokémon- Bulbasaur, Charmander, Squirtle and Pidgeotto- all free themselves from their Poké Balls and hold on to Ash. Ash is so taken aback by his Pokémon's commitment to him that he is reduced to tears. He then says "you win. guess we will be cold... all together. that's right...we'll be cold all together."

It is now morning and the harsh snowstorm has completely subsided. Charmander demolishes the snow wall with Flamethrower, and Ash looks upon the amazing view with his beloved Pokémon. He hears a voice calling him, he turns around, and it is Misty, Brock and his Onix. He is very happy to see his friends again. Onix lifts Ash and his Pokémon up to his friends' level. They ask Ash how he survived the storm and he tells them about the cave he dug. Brock and Misty then reveal that Onix dug into an underground hot spring, and they were very comfortable there, much to Ash's extreme surprise. They then discover that the blizzard blew over Team Rocket's balloon, which is right next to them. Brock says it is out of fuel, but he sends out his Vulpix, and has it use Flamethrower, and the balloon is now flyable. They then fly off over the mountain range.

The scene cuts to Team Rocket pinching each other's cheeks, and they then see Ash and his friends in the Meowth balloon, and they chase after them. They then fall into a hot spring and are declined to move, they are very comfortable. Ash thinks he heard Team Rocket while the balloon files above them, and then, they see a town ahead and are overjoyed.

Meanwhile, Team Rocket discover that the hot spring is too hot for them to sit in, but the weather is too cold for them to get out. "We're all washed up!" they say on a final note that ends the episode.

==Trivia==
* After the hiatus caused by [[EP038]], the timeslot changed from Tuesday to Thursday. The original schedule was as follows:
{{Rescheduled episodes‎}}
* When episodes of the dub are aired in order, this episode and ''[[Holiday Hi-Jynx]]'' are placed between ''[[EP064|It's Mr. Mime Time]]'' and ''[[EP065|Showdown at the Poké Corral]]'', as this is the point at which the episodes aired raw. This causes confusion from viewers due to Ash using Charmander instead of Charizard and Misty still having her Starmie. Canonically, these episodes go either directly before or directly after ''[[EP039|Pikachu's Goodbye]]''. Due to not airing when initially intended, it will be considered by Bulbapedia to be a [[List of anime specials|special episode]].
* {{smw|Snow Way Out}} is also the name of a {{smw|Mario Party 8}} minigame.
* This is one of the few episodes where Ash orders Pikachu into a Poké Ball. Though he doesn't succeed as usual, the fact that he tried is unusual.
* This is also the first episode where a previously captured Pokémon, other than Psyduck, forces its way out of a Poké Ball. Charmander, Squirtle, Bulbasaur, and Pidgeotto all exit their Poké Balls to keep Ash warm throughout the night.
* This special is featured on the ''Volume 9: Charmander'' copy of [[Pokémon All-Stars]].
* The [[Pokémon Junior]] book, "[[A Pokémon Snow-Down]]" was based on this episode.
* Along with Episodes 21 (Bye Bye Butterfree) and 39 (Pikachu's Goodbye), this is one of the few episodes where Ash sheds tears.

===Errors===
*When James is holding Meowth and they are shivering, Meowth's feet don't have the orange tips.


===Dub edits===
* The igloo scene was heavily edited. There is a scene cut of Meowth lighting candles with a match while Jessie explains how good the snow-rolls were, and all the shots of Meowth and Jessie holding matches in the igloo scene were painted out and replaced with candles. Altogether, 24 seconds were cut from this scene.

'''The Ultimate Test''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンけんていしけん！？''' ''Pokémon Certification Test!?'') is the 56th episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It was first broadcast in Japan on July 30, 1998 and in the United States on April 24, 1999.

{{spoilers}}
== Synopsis ==
{{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}}, {{an|Brock}}, [[Todd Snap|Todd]], {{AP|Pikachu}}, and {{TP|Misty|Togepi|Togetic}} are enjoying a nice lunch until Misty points out that Ash has not won a [[Gym]] [[Badge]] in a while. After nearly choking on his food and washing it down with a glass of water, Ash claims he wins all his battles with skill, and then challenges Misty to a [[Pokémon battle]]. Todd steps in, takes pictures of Pikachu, then tells Ash that he should take the Pokémon League Admissions Exam.

The group arrives at the Pokémon League Admissions Exam building so Ash signs up and gets the testing number 7. Nearby, [[Jessie]], disguised as a schoolgirl, complains that she didn't get number 7, causing Ash to briefly suspect her. Then, [[Nurse Joy]] enters and Brock follows her. Ash then is told by the head instructor to leave all his [[Poké Ball]]s at the counter, as well as temporarily leave Pikachu in Misty's care. Shortly, Nurse Joy tells Ash, Misty, and Brock that she signed up for the exam to become a [[Pokémon Master]]. Soon after, [[James]] walks in, disguised as a schoolboy with glasses, but quickly heads for the counter once Ash sees him. When the head instructor reads James's registration form and calls out his name, James tells him to keep quiet. But unfortunately, Jessie hears this and takes James outside. Once outside, Jessie takes off her glasses and asks James what he is doing there. James confidently says that he too wants to become a Pokémon Master, as well as ask Jessie what ''she's'' doing here. Jessie explains that she wants to add another talent to her collection. Suddenly, {{MTR}} shows up and scratches both their faces. James quickly throws Meowth a ball of yarn, then runs off with Jessie back inside for the exam.

The first exam tests a person's knowledge of {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, where they answer true or false questions. Ash does his best to answer each of the questions correctly. At the {{p|Magikarp}} question, James becomes angry because of [[EP016|the time]] he had that {{DL|List of Pokémon temporarily owned by Team Rocket|Gyarados}}, as well as notice Jessie giving each question a "true" answer, hoping that she gets half of them right.

The second exam tests a person's ability to recognize Pokémon. The Pokémon to recognize on the screen looks like a ball. Ash think it's a {{p|Voltorb}}, James thinks it's a Poké Ball, and Jessie thinks it's an {{p|Electrode}}. The head instructor reveals the answer: a {{p|Jigglypuff}} seen from above. The next Pokémon to recognize looks like a swirl. Ash guesses it's a {{p|Poliwhirl}}, James believes it's a {{p|Omanyte}}, and Jessie guesses it's an {{p|Arbok}} when it's all coiled up. Unfortunately, the correct answer is a {{p|Poliwag}}. The next Pokémon for all the students to guess has a fiery tail, and Ash guesses it's a {{p|Charmander}}, but the right answer was {{p|Ponyta}}. A furious Jessie demands that she be asked easier questions, and the head instructor expels her. Once outside, Jessie wakes up Meowth and says that they're going to get revenge.

When the scoreboard comes down, Ash wonders where his score is. Misty points out that Ash's score is on the scoreboard for all the students who got the lowest scores, as Todd takes a picture, much to Ash's chagrin. Meanwhile, James stands alone in a corner, vowing that he will try extra hard for Jessie.

The third exam involves Pokémon battles, as Nurse Joy uses a {{p|Squirtle}} against a fellow instructor's Charmander. Next, the head instructor tells Ash and James that they each have to select a belt of three Poké Balls, even though they don't know what Pokémon are inside them. They choose their belts, and James is up first against the head instructor. The first Pokémon James sends out is a Pikachu, much to his delight. James believes that he can't lose with Pikachu and claims that he's been destroyed by {{AP|Pikachu}}'s {{m|ThunderShock|att}}{{m|Thunderbolt|acks}} so many times that he knew them all by heart. The head instructor then sends out a {{p|Graveler}}. James immediately commands Pikachu to use {{m|Thunderbolt}}, but the attack doesn't work on Graveler. Then, Graveler sends Pikachu flying with a {{m|Tackle}}. Angry at this, James then sends out an {{p|Ivysaur}} and a {{p|Charizard}} at the same time. But unfortunately, the head instructor expels James for bringing out two Pokémon at once.

It is Ash's turn to face the head instructor, who sends out a {{p|Flareon}}. Ash pulls out his first Poké Ball, which reveals a {{p|Weezing}}, much to Ash's shock and displeasure (made only worse when Todd starts taking pictures of his face looking like Weezing's. The instructor has Flareon use {{m|Flamethrower}}, which Weezing proceeds to dodge. Coming up with an idea, Ash tells Weezing to counter with {{m|Smog}}, which explodes upon being hit by the Flamethrower, throwing Flareon backwards. Flareon then uses {{m|Leer}}, but Ash has Weezing use {{m|SmokeScreen}} to hide, then follow up with a Tackle, knocking Flareon out. As Misty comments on Ash being good at battling after all, Brock comments that even Team Rocket could win if they battled like that. Meanwhile, Team Rocket is taking notes of Ash's fighting strategy. Next, the head instructor sends out a {{p|Jolteon}}, and Ash sends out an Arbok. Jolteon uses {{m|Agility}}, but Arbok stops it with {{m|Glare}}. Then, Arbok uses {{m|Wrap}} but gets hurt by Jolteon's spikes. At this point, while Arbok is wincing in pain, Jolteon shakes off the Glare attack and finishes it off with {{m|Thunder}}. For the final round, Ash opens his last Poké Ball to reveal a {{p|Meowth}}, while the head instructor sends out a {{p|Vaporeon}}. Meowth tries to use {{m|Fury Swipes}}, but gets {{status|Freeze|frozen}} in its tracks when Vaporeon uses {{m|Ice Beam}}, giving the victory to the head instructor. Team Rocket's Meowth scratches Ash's face and frees his fellow Meowth. The head instructor is impressed by the talking Meowth, so he goes to capture him. However, [[Team Rocket]] returns with James's Pikachu, Ivysaur, and Charizard. The head instructor demands that they return those Pokémon immediately. Jessie and James then say their {{TP|Team Rocket|motto}}s and remove their disguises. Then, Team Rocket orders Ivysaur to use {{m|Vine Whip}}, Charizard to use Flamethrower, and Pikachu to use {{m|Thunder}}. Before the Pokémon attack, the head instructor quickly orders them to about-face, causing Pikachu, Ivysaur, and Charizard to attack Team Rocket. Ash realizes that those Pokémon listened to the head instructor because he {{pkmn|training|raised}} them. Then, Ash orders his Meowth, Weezing, and Arbok to also stop Team Rocket. Weezing uses {{m|Explosion}}, sending Team Rocket blasting off again.

Back inside the PLAE building, the head instructor tells the whole class that due to Team Rocket's interference, they have to do the entire exam all over again. The head instructor then offers Ash another chance to pass the test, but Ash refuses, saying that he's better off winning Gym Badges from [[Gym Leader]]s. Misty is now convinced that Ash ''has'' got skill. A short time later, as Ash, Misty, and Brock say goodbye to the head instructor and Nurse Joy before heading off for [[Cinnabar Island]], Todd comes up to Nurse Joy with one of the two Meowth that got hurt in the Explosion. The Meowth then talks, revealing that it is Team Rocket's Meowth. Meanwhile, as Jessie and James vow revenge on Ash and his friends, they quickly discover that they ended up with the wrong Meowth.

== Trivia ==
* The Pokémon Ash uses in the exam are the same species as those that [[Team Rocket]] uses to battle him outside of it: {{p|Arbok}}, {{p|Weezing}}, and {{p|Meowth}}. James does almost the same, in reverse: he gets a {{p|Pikachu}}, {{p|Ivysaur}}, and {{p|Charizard}} to use; it would have been an exact correlation had [[Ash's Bulbasaur]] not refused to evolve [[EP051|five episodes prior]].
* This is one episode where Charizard does not keep its Japanese voice and its voice is provided by [[Eric Stuart]].
* James receives a team similar to the one that [[Red (game)#In the Super Smash Bros. series|Pokémon Trainer]] has in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]], except with a Pikachu instead of a Squirtle.
* This marks the only appearance in the series (so far) of a {{p|Weezing}} other than the one [[James's Weezing|belonging to James]].
* This marks one of the few occasions where Meowth is seen in battle.
* Ash has trouble initially remembering what attacks Arbok can learn, despite battling {{OP|Jessie|Arbok}} in almost every episode prior to this one. He also had trouble remembering Meowth's attacks, but this is understandable seeing as Team Rocket's {{MTR}} hardly ever battles. Curiously, he has battled [[James's Weezing]] an equal amount of times to Arbok and had very little, if any, trouble remembering what moves a Weezing could learn.
* The Nurse Joy in this episode has a purple medical cross on her hat instead of a red one like all the other Nurse Joys.
* When this episode first aired on KidsWB, Ash said, "Hey Todd, make sure you get lots of great shots!" but in later airings of the episode Todd's name is changed to Snap.

=== Errors ===
[[Image:EP056error_ShinyWeedle.png|right|thumb|Shiny Weedle? (bottom)]]
* When Ash hands over his Pokéballs to the Pokémon League entrance exam instructor, there are 5. When the instructor closes his hand, there are 6.
* When Meowth scratches both Jessie and James, there is four lines of light. But Jessie and James faces have three marks.
* The instructor shows an image of a {{p|Poliwrath}} and {{p|Poliwag}} but calls them {{p|Poliwhirl}} and Poliwag.
* The instructor says {{type2|Electric}} moves do not work on {{t|Rock}} Pokémon, in reference to Pikachu's Thunderbolt failing to affect his {{p|Graveler}}. Actually, {{type2|Electric}} moves don't work on {{type2|Ground}}s, which Graveler is also, but have normal effectiveness on Rock-types.
* In one scene where the gang talks to [[Nurse Joy]] and [[Todd Snap|Todd]] takes pictures of Pokémon, there is a Trainer with a green-colored {{p|Weedle}}. Though it may merely be a coloring error, Weedle is green when {{Shiny}} in {{2v2|Gold|Silver}} sprites, but in a different shade.
* The computer's image of a {{p|Caterpie}} leaves a section of its body colored the purple on the screen.
* When Ash is returning Arbok to its Poké Ball, the number seven on his jacket has vanished.

=== Dub edits ===
*Two of the slides were different in the original Japanese version. The question of Vulpix evolving into Ninetales via use of the Fire Stone was concocted by the 4Kids staff. The original question was whether or not a {{p|Wartortle}} was a good use against a {{p|Ninetales}}. The Poliwag slide with Poliwrath on it originally had the correct Pokémon (Poliwhirl) next to Poliwag.

'''The Ultimate Test''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンけんていしけん！？''' ''Pokémon Certification Test!?'') is the 56th episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It was first broadcast in Japan on July 30, 1998 and in the United States on April 24, 1999.

{{spoilers}}
== Synopsis ==
{{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}}, {{an|Brock}}, [[Todd Snap|Todd]], {{AP|Pikachu}}, and {{TP|Misty|Togepi|Togetic}} are enjoying a nice lunch until Misty points out that Ash has not won a [[Gym]] [[Badge]] in a while. After nearly choking on his food and washing it down with a glass of water, Ash claims he wins all his battles with skill, and then challenges Misty to a [[Pokémon battle]]. Todd steps in, takes pictures of Pikachu, then tells Ash that he should take the Pokémon League Admissions Exam.

The group arrives at the Pokémon League Admissions Exam building so Ash signs up and gets the testing number 7. Nearby, [[Jessie]], disguised as a schoolgirl, complains that she didn't get number 7, causing Ash to briefly suspect her. Then, [[Nurse Joy]] enters and Brock follows her. Ash then is told by the head instructor to leave all his [[Poké Ball]]s at the counter, as well as temporarily leave Pikachu in Misty's care. Shortly, Nurse Joy tells Ash, Misty, and Brock that she signed up for the exam to become a [[Pokémon Master]]. Soon after, [[James]] walks in, disguised as a schoolboy with glasses, but quickly heads for the counter once Ash sees him. When the head instructor reads James's registration form and calls out his name, James tells him to keep quiet. But unfortunately, Jessie hears this and takes James outside. Once outside, Jessie takes off her glasses and asks James what he is doing there. James confidently says that he too wants to become a Pokémon Master, as well as ask Jessie what ''she's'' doing here. Jessie explains that she wants to add another talent to her collection. Suddenly, {{MTR}} shows up and scratches both their faces. James quickly throws Meowth a ball of yarn, then runs off with Jessie back inside for the exam.

The first exam tests a person's knowledge of {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, where they answer true or false questions. Ash does his best to answer each of the questions correctly. At the {{p|Magikarp}} question, James becomes angry because of [[EP016|the time]] he had that {{DL|List of Pokémon temporarily owned by Team Rocket|Gyarados}}, as well as notice Jessie giving each question a "true" answer, hoping that she gets half of them right.

The second exam tests a person's ability to recognize Pokémon. The Pokémon to recognize on the screen looks like a ball. Ash think it's a {{p|Voltorb}}, James thinks it's a Poké Ball, and Jessie thinks it's an {{p|Electrode}}. The head instructor reveals the answer: a {{p|Jigglypuff}} seen from above. The next Pokémon to recognize looks like a swirl. Ash guesses it's a {{p|Poliwhirl}}, James believes it's a {{p|Omanyte}}, and Jessie guesses it's an {{p|Arbok}} when it's all coiled up. Unfortunately, the correct answer is a {{p|Poliwag}}. The next Pokémon for all the students to guess has a fiery tail, and Ash guesses it's a {{p|Charmander}}, but the right answer was {{p|Ponyta}}. A furious Jessie demands that she be asked easier questions, and the head instructor expels her. Once outside, Jessie wakes up Meowth and says that they're going to get revenge.

When the scoreboard comes down, Ash wonders where his score is. Misty points out that Ash's score is on the scoreboard for all the students who got the lowest scores, as Todd takes a picture, much to Ash's chagrin. Meanwhile, James stands alone in a corner, vowing that he will try extra hard for Jessie.

The third exam involves Pokémon battles, as Nurse Joy uses a {{p|Squirtle}} against a fellow instructor's Charmander. Next, the head instructor tells Ash and James that they each have to select a belt of three Poké Balls, even though they don't know what Pokémon are inside them. They choose their belts, and James is up first against the head instructor. The first Pokémon James sends out is a Pikachu, much to his delight. James believes that he can't lose with Pikachu and claims that he's been destroyed by {{AP|Pikachu}}'s {{m|ThunderShock|att}}{{m|Thunderbolt|acks}} so many times that he knew them all by heart. The head instructor then sends out a {{p|Graveler}}. James immediately commands Pikachu to use {{m|Thunderbolt}}, but the attack doesn't work on Graveler. Then, Graveler sends Pikachu flying with a {{m|Tackle}}. Angry at this, James then sends out an {{p|Ivysaur}} and a {{p|Charizard}} at the same time. But unfortunately, the head instructor expels James for bringing out two Pokémon at once.

It is Ash's turn to face the head instructor, who sends out a {{p|Flareon}}. Ash pulls out his first Poké Ball, which reveals a {{p|Weezing}}, much to Ash's shock and displeasure (made only worse when Todd starts taking pictures of his face looking like Weezing's. The instructor has Flareon use {{m|Flamethrower}}, which Weezing proceeds to dodge. Coming up with an idea, Ash tells Weezing to counter with {{m|Smog}}, which explodes upon being hit by the Flamethrower, throwing Flareon backwards. Flareon then uses {{m|Leer}}, but Ash has Weezing use {{m|SmokeScreen}} to hide, then follow up with a Tackle, knocking Flareon out. As Misty comments on Ash being good at battling after all, Brock comments that even Team Rocket could win if they battled like that. Meanwhile, Team Rocket is taking notes of Ash's fighting strategy. Next, the head instructor sends out a {{p|Jolteon}}, and Ash sends out an Arbok. Jolteon uses {{m|Agility}}, but Arbok stops it with {{m|Glare}}. Then, Arbok uses {{m|Wrap}} but gets hurt by Jolteon's spikes. At this point, while Arbok is wincing in pain, Jolteon shakes off the Glare attack and finishes it off with {{m|Thunder}}. For the final round, Ash opens his last Poké Ball to reveal a {{p|Meowth}}, while the head instructor sends out a {{p|Vaporeon}}. Meowth tries to use {{m|Fury Swipes}}, but gets {{status|Freeze|frozen}} in its tracks when Vaporeon uses {{m|Ice Beam}}, giving the victory to the head instructor. Team Rocket's Meowth scratches Ash's face and frees his fellow Meowth. The head instructor is impressed by the talking Meowth, so he goes to capture him. However, [[Team Rocket]] returns with James's Pikachu, Ivysaur, and Charizard. The head instructor demands that they return those Pokémon immediately. Jessie and James then say their {{TP|Team Rocket|motto}}s and remove their disguises. Then, Team Rocket orders Ivysaur to use {{m|Vine Whip}}, Charizard to use Flamethrower, and Pikachu to use {{m|Thunder}}. Before the Pokémon attack, the head instructor quickly orders them to about-face, causing Pikachu, Ivysaur, and Charizard to attack Team Rocket. Ash realizes that those Pokémon listened to the head instructor because he {{pkmn|training|raised}} them. Then, Ash orders his Meowth, Weezing, and Arbok to also stop Team Rocket. Weezing uses {{m|Explosion}}, sending Team Rocket blasting off again.

Back inside the PLAE building, the head instructor tells the whole class that due to Team Rocket's interference, they have to do the entire exam all over again. The head instructor then offers Ash another chance to pass the test, but Ash refuses, saying that he's better off winning Gym Badges from [[Gym Leader]]s. Misty is now convinced that Ash ''has'' got skill. A short time later, as Ash, Misty, and Brock say goodbye to the head instructor and Nurse Joy before heading off for [[Cinnabar Island]], Todd comes up to Nurse Joy with one of the two Meowth that got hurt in the Explosion. The Meowth then talks, revealing that it is Team Rocket's Meowth. Meanwhile, as Jessie and James vow revenge on Ash and his friends, they quickly discover that they ended up with the wrong Meowth.

{{spoilers}}

== Synopsis ==
{{Ash}} and {{ashfr|the group}} are continuing their journey when it begins to [[Weather conditions|rain]]. While looking for shelter, they stumble across an old house in the middle of nowhere. Believing it to be deserted, they go inside. To their surprise, [[Ash's Pikachu]] is found playing with what seems to be another Pikachu. However, this Pikachu's face is weird,which leads to {{an|Brock}} thinking it is a new kind of Pikachu. Ash tries to {{pkmn2|Caught|capture}} it, but a girl dressed as Ash appears and stops him. The girl introduces herself as [[Duplica]] and reveals that the Pikachu is actually her {{TP|Duplica|Ditto}}. Upon reading Ditto's entry in the Pokédex and hearing that it can't learn any other attacks besides Transform, Ash becomes unconvinced of it's usefulness in a {{pkmn|battle}}, so Duplica challenges him to a battle. Ash chooses {{AP|Bulbasaur}} and tries to attack using {{m|Razor Leaf}}, but Duplica's Ditto {{m|Transform}}s and wins using a {{m|Vine Whip}} attack.

Later, Duplica explains that she wants to be a Ditto Master and a star, but she cannot because her Ditto is unable to mirror the other [[Pokémon]]'s faces. Whenever it transforms it still has the face a of a Ditto, much to the disappointment of her audiences. Then [[Team Rocket]] appear and try to steal Ditto, in the hope that they can get it to transform into {{p|Dratini}} and present it to [[Giovanni]] as a [[Legendary Pokémon]]. Using {{TP|James|Weezing}}'s {{m|SmokeScreen}}, they are able to escape with Ditto.

Once they are away from the house, Jessie and James try to test Ditto's power by having it turn into a Dratini from a picture in a book that they have, at first. But then, Jessie stops James and says that they should have a little bit of fun before handing Ditto over to the boss. She asks Ditto to transform into what a certain boy would look like if he were an adult, and pulls out a photo frame. James and Meowth then try to get Jessie to show the picture to them, but she refuses. Ditto agrees, and then a picture of a man with blue hair shows up with a Ditto's face. Now angry, Jessie commands Ditto to once again become a Dratini. Instead, Ditto transforms into a book.

Meanwhile, back at the mansion, Misty, Brock, and Ash are trying to cheer Duplica up. Ash then states about how a trainer decides how a Ditto would transforms. Pidgeotto and Zubat, who were on guard, return with news that they saw Ditto. Ash and freinds then go decide to save Ditto.

Later, they try to get it to look like Meowth, only to be yelled at, because Meowth's face was replaced with Ditto's. They are angered when it is unable to change its face. Eventually they are able to threaten it into transforming correctly.

Then Ash, Brock, Misty and Duplica appear dressed in Team Rocket uniforms and say their {{TP|Team Rocket|motto|mottos}}, much to the irritation of the real Team Rocket. They demand Ditto back, and are surprised when they see two identical Meowths. Team Rocket try to trick them by giving them the real {{MTR}} and escaping in their balloon with Ditto. But Duplica says she can tell that this isn't her Ditto, even though it looks identical to the other Meowth. She throws Meowth at the balloon, causing Team Rocket to drop Ditto. Duplica tells it to transform into a cannon and fire Pikachu at the balloon. After being hit by Pikachu's {{m|ThunderShock}}, the balloon bursts and Team Rocket are blasted off again.

Now that Ditto can transform perfectly, Duplica reopens her theater for performances. She thanks Ash and his friends and they leave, with Ash hoping to catch his own Ditto someday.

The episode ends with Team Rocket attempting to put a Dratini suit onto Meowth, who {{m|Scratch|scratches}} them.

Ironically, both battles had to deal with a Pokémon that technically isn't real (Mewtwo's Venusaur was created through cloning, where as Duplica's Ditto transformed into Bulbasaur for the fight).
*Duplica claims that Ditto is the only Pokémon that can use Transform, but {{p|Mew}} shares this ability. However, since Mew was at this point a secret Pokémon, the writers probably made Duplica not know about Mew's existence.
*When Duplica imitates Officer Jenny, she says "You're under arrest for Pokémon poaching." This is what the Officer Jenny from ''[[EP034|The Kangaskhan Kid]]'' said.
*As James furiously points out, when Ash and his friends imitate Team Rocket, Duplica incorrectly says "To '''ignite''' all peoples within our nation."
* "Ashy-boy" is Duplica's nickname for Ash.
* Jessie reveals that the boy in the photo she asked Ditto to show her was her first true love. Apparently, it's not James.
* The first trivia fact listed is incorrect: The first time Ash, Misty, and Brock mocked Team Rocket's motto was in Episode 21, "Bye Bye Butterfree."
* Ditto's Transform ability allows it to become any nonliving object, such as a cannon in this episode, in addition to any Pokémon it sees.
=== Errors ===
[[Image:EP037 error.png|thumb|right|Ash with no gloves]]
* Ash's gloves disappear briefly at the beginning.
* When Duplica imitates Ash, she is wearing his hat however, it is highly unlikely that she would own one as there were only 100 given away (refer to EP025)
* After both of the {{p|Meowth}} say "No way", Jessie's lipstick disappears.
* In the Swedish dub, James say "Drantini" instead of "Dratini" when imaging himself giving it to the boss.

=== Dub edits ===
* Ditto keeps its Japanese voice when it's transformed into Pikachu in the English version.
* The scenes of Team Rocket getting irritated by the imitation motto is removed from the Dutch version.
