Talk:Darkest Lariat (move)

ShylokVakarian: /* TRIVIA: Darkest Lariat is not a Lariat (as animated in the Gen 7 games) */

== Does all defensive stat changes include negative ones? ==

Or does it also ignore the target's defense being lowered? --[[User:Shadowater|Shadowater]] ([[User talk:Shadowater|talk]]) 05:43, 29 April 2018 (UTC)

== TRIVIA: Darkest Lariat is not a Lariat (as animated in the Gen 7 games) ==

It's actually a clothesline. A very unconventional clothesline, but a clothesline nonetheless. The difference is a clothesline keeps the arm straight out your side, whereas a lariat usually involves swinging the arm around in the shoulder socket. Incineroar is practically T-posed when he performs the move. [[User:ShylokVakarian|ShylokVakarian]] ([[User talk:ShylokVakarian|talk]]) 22:51, 17 May 2019 (UTC)

:Ignore this, wrestling moves are too damn confusing to figure out. {{unsigned|ShylokVakarian}}

::Technically, it's probably neither, seeing how utterly devoid of spinning real clotheslines and lariats are. [[User:ShylokVakarian|ShylokVakarian]] ([[User talk:ShylokVakarian|talk]]) 23:00, 17 May 2019 (UTC)

==Question==
Hello, Carmen. My name is '''The Pokémon Master'''. I was wondering if it would it be alright with you if I made use of the coding from your user page, specifically the background colors. If not, I completely understand. Thank you for taking the time to read this message! I look forward to working with you in the future. - [[User:The Pokémon Master|The Pokémon Master]] ([[User talk:The Pokémon Master|talk]]) 21:58, 18 May 2016 (UTC)

== Edits on Spheal evolutionary line Egg cycles ==

Thank you for quickly fixing my edits to the Egg cycle numbers. I was just about to do that after noticing that I had used an incorrect Pokemon without Flame Body as my party lead (never happened to me before) when I was breeding for Spheals, which resulted in twice as high step count for hatching them.

== I'd like to request an additional "Switch leaders" for Allowances in the [[Template:Dungeon infobox]] ==

I apologize if I seem more impatient than usual.

Anyway, in the Red/Blue Rescue team games, some dungeons like Wish Cave and Buried Relic allow the players to switch leaders mid-dungeon, while others like Murky Cave and Uproar Forest don't. I was about to add that for the dungeons which do myself, but this page is protected so I can't add to the template.

I should mention that this would only be for the Rescue Team games, as the Explorers game don't allow switching leaders at all, while the 3DS games always do as long as you're not playing the story. So anyway, is there anything we can do about this? Thanks. [[User:Unowninator|Unowninator]] ([[User talk:Unowninator|talk]]) 00:53, 5 August 2016 (UTC)

== Looplet image linking ==

Hello Carmenstar. I noticed you're also Archives staff, so you might be the right person to make this offer you can't refuse:
:''Today, I've brought to you the brand new Move Archives Files technology. — The what? — The brand new Move Archives Files technology. You can move files on the Archives with it, in less than a blink of an eye. — On the Archives, you say? — Absolutely. Have you ever wondered why [[:Template:DungeonItem|certain templates]] sometimes [[Sheer Mountain Range|do not display]] the correct image although the image [[a:File:MDBag Looplet VI Sprite.png|is present]] on the Archives? — ...You're right. They don't show up! — Or how you need to have a dedicated <code>sprite</code> parameter to make them [[Glittering Mountain|show up]]? — I can see it; you need an extra param! How can we avoid all this? — Do you see that Glik [[a:Special:Diff/513655|proposed]] to move it to another location? — Absolutely. He sure did. — Now, listen: If I move it to the new location, the templates just begin to work. — They doooon't? — They do. And you also do not need an additional param. — I dooon't? Wow. — Also, have you noticed how {{tt|fellow wiki editors|actually that's mainly one weirdo by the name of "Nescientist", but the producers ordered me to not call him that publicly}} continuously [[Aurora's Edge|create new articles]] and add the current filename there? — Yes, they can really be suuuch a nuisance at times. — Absolutely. Now, if I move it now, these editors do not need to use the extra param for new articles... — ...And you do not need to correct them all as you would if you'd moved it in the future, right? — Exactly, now you got it! Isn't that great! — Absolutely. This Move Archives Files technology, it must be unaffordable. — Let me say you this: It's just some five minutes of work, that's all. Five minutes, then it's done. — Wow!''
So, I hope {{tt|that|apart from maybe making you smile a little}} I conveyed that moving it now might not only make the template work on a number of pages, but also save you some effort when doing so (and me from adding the <code>sprite</code> param for new articles/info). If you decide not to move it for whatever reason (or not anytime soon), just let me know, then I can add the correct <code>sprite</code> param to the other pages to make them work. Thanks!

== New Editor (and I want to be a helpful contributing editor) ==

Carmen:

I am Zottffss, but I would be very happy if you called me Zott. I am a new editor of Bulbapedia and I want to learn a few tips on being a great Bulbapedia contributor.

Best of luck,
Zottffss, aka Zott.

Also, what is a signature? I am very confused since I just joined this Bulbapedia and I don't want to make any mistakes on this.
[[User:Zottffss|Zottffss]] ([[User talk:Zottffss|talk]]) 21:54, 28 September 2016 (UTC)
:Hello, Zott, and welcome to Bulbapedia! Starting with the basics, it is a very good idea to read through all of the links in the welcome message located on your {{ut|Zottffss}}. Additionally, all of the links on {{bp|Welcome|this page}} are very helpful to understanding the general way we do things here on Bulbapedia. Familiarizing yourself with our policies and procedures is an excellent start to becoming a great contributor. After doing that, you should be all ready to edit! You can look through articles pertaining to topics of your interest and edit them if you find areas where they can be improved. If you ''really'' want to help us out, take a look at our {{cat|pages needing attention}} and improve those articles however you can. In particular, we have a lot of {{cat|articles needing more information}}. All help is much appreciated, so do whatever you can!
:A signature is what you use to sign your talk page comments so that anyone reading the talk page will know who is making a certain comment. You seem to have done this already, but anyways, we sign our talk page comments with four tildes <code><nowiki>~~~~</nowiki></code> at the end of each message. This produces our own personal signature with a time stamp immediately following it (the time is in {{wp|Coordinated Universal Time|UTC}}). By default, everyone's signature is just a link to their user page and user talk page. However, you can customize your signature in [[Special:Preferences|your preferences]], as long as it follows our {{bp|signature policy}}.

:If every other page is listing Clemont's Pokémon as first, then those pages are going to have to be changed (do note that Clemont's Dedenne is the only Pokémon of his that is supposed to precede Serena's Pokémon).

== Physical/special split ==

Hi there. I saw [[Special:Diff/2529656|this edit]] of yours, and my personal opinion is that we need not include any mention of a move changing category between Gen III and IV for move pages (note that we do have it at [[list of modified moves]]). Anyway, {{u|Lino49}} apparently thinks we should include it, and has done so at {{m|Fire Punch}}, {{m|Silver Wind}}, and {{m|Shadow Ball}} as well, where neither you nor other staff have removed that (same/similar for {{m|Bite}}, where it's been mentioned for longer). For me as an ordinary editor, I don't know what the right procedure would be — after all, it's well-intentioned edits and still some kind of subjective thing. I guess it should at least be consistent, so I'm coming to you hoping you would know what to do. Thanks. [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 13:28, 6 November 2016 (UTC)

== Learnset edits? ==

Hello, I've noticed you've been adding type information back into the wikicode for all the learnset sections on move pages. However, I am not seeing any change to the page itself when this happens, and I can't help but wonder--just what are you doing? Not meaning to criticize or anything, just genuinely curious. I don't know too much about how the wiki works, or how any of these templates are used. [[User:Xolroc|Xolroc]] ([[User talk:Xolroc|talk]]) 03:40, 23 December 2016 (UTC)
:I'm updating the move pages in order to prepare for a template update. Currently, you can't see the types displayed on the page because the relevant templates haven't been updated yet. Once all the pages are updated, the template will be updated. If the template were updated before the pages were updated, you would just see a bunch of "Unknown" types or something on the move pages, but if the pages are all prepared before a template update, then once the templates have been updated, the correct types will display instantly. --[[User:Carmenstar97|Carmen★]] ''[[User talk:Carmenstar97|(Talk |]] [[Special:Contributions/Carmenstar97|contribs)]]'' 03:44, 23 December 2016 (UTC)

== Z-Move templates ==

I didn't know that there was a staff decision about this subject, and I'm honestly surprised about this. I figured that improvised moves need a description, sure, since they naturally don't have pages of their own, but Z-Moves, on the other hand, DO have their own pages, where the anime description can be put into. My thought was to use a similar style as with the moves used via {{m|Metronome}}/{{m|Mimic}}/etc. in the anime, which also use regular move templates, but apparently that's not the case with Z-Moves. Can this be changed? --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 16:20, 2 January 2017 (UTC)
:The current setup was [[Special:Diff/2573950|decided]] by our Head of Anime and Kogoro. We haven't seen Z-Moves being used much in the anime yet, so what we're currently using is subject to change depending on how Z-Moves are treated as the Sun & Moon series moves along. If you have any suggestions for how we should display Z-Moves in the anime, please share them with {{u|Pokemaster97}}. --[[User:Carmenstar97|Carmen★]] ''[[User talk:Carmenstar97|(Talk |]] [[Special:Contributions/Carmenstar97|contribs)]]'' 16:39, 2 January 2017 (UTC)

:That's alright; as long as you're aware now. Just a tip for the future: if you notice that an edit of yours keeps getting reverted, don't just simply redo it; that is considered edit warring and is grounds for a short block.

== Why would you delete my n2num thing? ==

Well, technically it isn't deleted yet, but still, what's wrong with a lowercase one? [[User:Unowninator|Unowninator]] ([[User talk:Unowninator|talk]]) 18:51, 10 May 2017 (UTC)
:First of all...you don't just duplicate any page. There's absolutely no logical reason to do that. The reasoning "it was annoying me" isn't a valid one at all. Second...the {{template|N2Num}} template is in the template namespace. You created the new page in the mainspace, making it so that any casual reader can access just by clicking the [[Special:Random|Random page]] link in the sidebar. Third...a lowercase version isn't necessary. That is all. --[[User:Carmenstar97|Carmen★]] ''[[User talk:Carmenstar97|(Talk |]] [[Special:Contributions/Carmenstar97|contribs)]]'' 19:01, 10 May 2017 (UTC)

== About the template I made ==

My apologies for not following protocol. I was unaware of a specific policy concerning permission for creating templates, and I didn't think that this addition was particularly controversial. Anyway, to that end, I'd like to see to it that the template is moved back to my userspace while approval is pending. (And please let me know how I should go about obtaining that approval.) Thank you!

—[[User:WhosHaddady|'''Haddady''']] [[User talk:WhosHaddady|~Straight Outta the Bag~]] 18:33, 20 June 2017 (UTC)
:The template was indeed moved back to your userspace. In general, in order to obtain approval for mainspacing a template, you add <code><nowiki>{{mainspace|template|status=complete}}</nowiki></code> to the top of the template (inside noinclude brackets, of course). This will add it to {{cat|Templates for mainspacing}}. (If you're not quite done setting up the template, then add <code><nowiki>{{mainspace|template}}</nowiki></code> instead to place it in {{cat|Templates for mainspacing/Under construction}}.) You should also show examples of the template being used on the talk page of the template so that the staff can see how you plan to implement it and what it will look like when used. When you think you're all set, you can try contacting a {{bp|staff}} member on their talk page to let them know you want your template to be mainspaced.
:Now, as for this specific template, I'd say it would be better to just place the entire table hard-coded on the page itself instead of using a template for it. We rarely make templates that will only be used on one page, and when we do, it's because there's a lot of data involved. This is not a case that needs a template. --[[User:Carmenstar97|Carmen★]] ''[[User talk:Carmenstar97|(Talk |]] [[Special:Contributions/Carmenstar97|contribs)]]'' 19:02, 20 June 2017 (UTC)
::Thank you for responding. I'll be sure to follow those steps the next time I'm preparing a template for the mainspace, and I suppose I'll just code the table into the article like you suggested. Should I go ahead and delete the mainspace template page, or leave it to someone else?

== Moving of epicode numbers ==

Hi Carmenstar97, hope you are well! About a year ago you responded to my query on [[Talk:SS034]] saying "Many of the special episodes are in plans to be moved, but the Editorial Board is still finalizing their decisions. Whenever those decisions are finalized, we'll be moving all of the episodes that need to be moved, including this one." Since then, I haven't seen any updates on this. Can you give any insights about where the Editorial Board discussions got to, and what is going to be done about this situation?

Across so many moves pages, I see a header that their images should be updated to match how they look in Pokémon Sun & Moon.

== Substitute (move) ==

Hi Carmen,

I'm currently shiny hunting in Ultra Moon and, while hunting for Furfrou in Hau'oli City, have found out that the move Baby-Doll Eyes ignores my Hawlucha's substitute. Baby-Doll Eyes, however, is not listed as a move that ignores Substitute in the latter's article. The same happens with Sweet Scent, which I noted while hunting Fomantis.

I hope this is useful and someone can edit it. I was going to try and do it myself, but it wasn't as easy as I hoped, so I decided to touch nothing.

Have a nice day,

Raul. {{unsigned|Rmllavaneras}}
:I've been unable to replicate this, so I can't verify that your claims are true. When I had a wild Pokémon use Baby-Doll Eyes or Sweet Scent against my Pokémon's substitute, the game simply says that the move didn't affect my Pokémon.
:Also, please make sure you sign any future talk page comments you make with four tildes (<code><nowiki>~~~~</nowiki></code>). This creates a link to your user page and talk page after your comments, making it easier to see who's making the talk page comment. --[[User:Carmenstar97|Carmen★]] ''[[User talk:Carmenstar97|(Talk |]] [[Special:Contributions/Carmenstar97|contribs)]]'' 02:05, 4 April 2018 (UTC)

It's actually a clothesline. A very unconventional clothesline, but a clothesline nonetheless. The difference is a clothesline keeps the arm straight out your side, whereas a lariat usually involves swinging the arm around in the shoulder socket. Incineroar is practically T-posed when he performs the move. [[User:ShylokVakarian|ShylokVakarian]] ([[User talk:ShylokVakarian|talk]]) 22:51, 17 May 2019 (UTC)
