I archive this every 6 months, unless it gets too lengthy before then.

Let me be...

the first to comment you with your message thing. I have to admit, it's very nice. Very nice indeed. But anyway, could you help convert the Rain Dance page to Platinum standard? I started to, but my computer went all fritzy and its not fixed completely. I asked Politoed, but he asked TTE, and they didn't, and my computer is psycho. Can you help? --^Psychic_Rider^☮ 21:03, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

Okay, I'll do it right now. --Baby G (talk to me) (see my edits) 21:04, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

Let me say thanks...THANKS!. lol. --^Psychic_Rider^☮ 21:06, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

It's gonna take me a while to update it, so I'm gonna save a draft of it in a Word document and update it every day. --Baby G (talk to me) (see my edits) 21:25, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

Ok, thanks again. I hope to have my computer fully fixed tomorrow. It was bad last week too. --^Psychic_Rider^☮ 21:28, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

LTs

This may have just been a slip, but you forgot to use {{m}} when linking to Mega Punch on Roman's page. Remember the link templates; they are useful the way turkey is delicious. ((Marton imos)) 00:45, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

Whoops, I was kinda in a hurry when I did that. But I fixed it now. --Baby G (talk to me) (see my edits) 00:47, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

Don't forget to use the preview button to see how things will look before you save them. Also, when you have a problem like that, you can use <br clear="all">(or "left", or "right") to solve it. <br clear="all"> can be called up easily with {{-}}. --((Marton imos)) 01:22, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

I did use the preview button each time, and it looked correct each time, but that was because I was just editing sections. Next time I should click the edit tab at the top of the page if I want to make a change that could require the preview button. --Baby G (talk to me) (see my edits) 01:24, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

Capitals

You don't want to argue too heavily about grammar in a franchise where species names get capitalized. It's not like my Dog just got on my bed while Birds are singing outside and there's an annoying Squirrel trying to bore into the side of my house. --((Marton imos)) 21:34, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

The types

If you're going to do that to the Fighting and Normal types, are you going to do it for the other 15 types? --^Psychic_Rider^☮ 23:32, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

I'm in the process of doing it to the other types right now. --Baby G (talk to me) (see my edits) 23:34, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

Types

i believe you have been told before not to do that, so, why are you doing it? -- MAGNEDETH 23:43, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

You don't get how I'm doing it, do you?

It's redundant to list Normal as one of their types on the Normal-type page, because we already know that they're Normal-type. All we need to do is put "Type 2" and the appropriate type.

I'd appreciate if you revert your edits, thanks. --Baby G (talk to me) (see my edits) 23:45, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

And I said that that's not how we do things. Everyone knows the starters are Grass/Fire/Water, doesn't mean we don't put their types. If we were all about removing redundancy, we'd take out all of the infoboxes. TTEchidna 23:51, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

But this is referring to dual types, not pure types. --Baby G (talk to me) (see my edits) 23:53, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

yea, and by removing their dual-type, it makes them look like pure whatever the other type is. remove the ground part of Torterra, and look, its a pure Grass-type. -- MAGNEDETH 23:54, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

You can clearly see at the top of the table thingy it says "Type 1" and "Type 2". --Baby G (talk to me) (see my edits) 23:55, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

Two admins, longstanding, knowing what they are doing are telling you you ar wrong.

Take the hint--DCM_{((TalkContributions))}

Seriously. Haven't we had this discussion with other people? Yami something or other? Darkrai breeder? MidnightCeltic 23:58, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

Like I said before, I've got a plan for the type pages, but leave them for now. We had them without the type the page was on before and that just confused people on pages like Gallade's, saying it was Fighting/Psychic and not Psychic/Fighting. It matters which way it goes. We don't list the single-type Pokémon because there's nothing to differentiate; their primary AND secondary types are the same. But Gallade and Medicham are very different. When you see Medicham is it more like Hitmonlee or more like Alakazam? Same for Gallade. That's where the primary comes in.

Besides. There's plenty of other things to do than fuss over this when you've been told before this that we should keep them as-is. Do the PtMTs. The data's out there now. TTEchidna 23:59, 22 September 2008 (UTC)
