The goal of Encyclopaediae Pokémonis is to be just as international as Pokémon itself, and helping aspiring Pokémon wikis in languages we don't yet have is a great way to help achieve that goal. However, if we don't even know who the possible aspirers for Encyclopaediae Pokémonis's ninth language even are, there's no way any growth can take place. If you speak or understand a language that's currently not represented in Encyclopaediae Pokémonis and happen to find a wiki in that language with aspirations to join Encyclopaediae Pokémonis, then don't hesitate to drop me a line. Remember, an aspirier can't grow if they remain sheltered from the world!

If you understand Brazilian Portuguese, or know someone who does, then the Portuguese arm of Encyclopaediae Pokémonis is in desperate need of your assistance. Many, if not all, of that wiki's articles are in dire need of improvement, be it massive cleanup or even adding some real content to begin with. Their sysops are never around to handle things, and their interwiki bot has done nothing since late September--of 2008. The fact that a trusted member of Encyclopaediae Pokémonis has fallen into such disrepair is disturbing, to say the least. Brazilians do not deserve quality this low. If you can help improve the Portuguese end, then I highly recommend you do so. Today.

I know that was the wrong way to move a page but the move failed since there already existed a page named "Barry". Is there any way to move a page despite that? J-J-M 16:31, 11 April 2009 (UTC)

Yeah. Whenever a page needs moved that can't be done directly by a normal user, such as the case of what needed to be done this morning, ask a sysop. Sysops can do whatever it takes to make the move successfully.
Don't worry about Barry, though. The steps necessary in his case have already been done. --Shiningpikablu252 16:40, 11 April 2009 (UTC)

A categorizing problem

Well a certain User called Capibara have due to someone's mistake landed his/her Userpage in the Other Tags category. I guess the mistake was copy-pasting something.I know you are one of the greatest contributer here and you will be able to handle this problem.Thank You --Prongs (TalkContributions) 15:43, 14 April 2009 (UTC)

GW

Um... I don't see how George washington is unnacceptable. I mean, who says he was gonna say he was GW? Say someone had the username "Elvis Lives." Would you ban HIM?--Totodilesentret!Talk to me. 16:15, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

Funny you should mention Elvis, since there was someone who used the handle "Elvis Presley" blocked under the circumstances of impersonating a celebrity. As far as I can tell, impersonating historical figures is along those same lines.
In any event, the option for the user to create a real username was left open. That's standard procedure for one blocked for unacceptable username not known to commit vandalism or show intent to. --Shiningpikablu252 16:19, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

Maybe you should unblock him for now. Who knows? He might end up one of Bulbapedia's most valued contributors!--Totodilesentret!Talk to me. 16:24, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

Gen I games with color

You know how originally the main ones before Yellow were black and white? The Game Boy Color gave them color, kinda made them look like Yellow. I can play Pokémon games on my computer with an emulator called visual boy advance. I saw that some videos of Red or Blue are obviously on the vba emulator... and some are in black and white and some look like how the Game Boy Color made them. I tried everything to make my Red Version in color when I got it but it remained black and white... so I wondered how those people got color on those Red and Blue versions they played on the vba emulator... so that's it, to make it clear 'cause your answer wasn't really what I was looking for... here: "When playing Red Version on the vba, how do you get color?" If you know the answer, please help.--X, PEACE TOTHE DRAGONS ANDTHE BEASTS 21:05, 19 April 2009 (UTC)

You don't. VBA emulates a normal Game Boy when playing RB, which gives the games no color. Yellow has a color variance depending on where you are, being lavender in Lavender Town, red on Cinnabar Island... and so on. But not Red and Blue. TTEchidna 21:25, 19 April 2009 (UTC)
But come on... For sure this is vba... How did he get color? I'm sorry this guy swear so much... I've seen quite a few others...--X, PEACE TOTHE DRAGONS ANDTHE BEASTS 21:35, 19 April 2009 (UTC)
Last I checked, VirtualBoyAdvance was able to emulate Super Game Boy features. Try Options→Gameboy→SGB. --Shiningpikablu252 22:42, 19 April 2009 (UTC)
I guess I'll try that and hope that it works... I'll tell you how it goes...--X, PEACE TOTHE DRAGONS ANDTHE BEASTS 22:54, 19 April 2009 (UTC)
Wow... it worked... thanks.--X, PEACE TOTHE DRAGONS ANDTHE BEASTS 23:13, 19 April 2009 (UTC)

Thought I'd like to bring to your attention his wonderful edit to Morty's page... ←{Berrymaster|Talk|Contrib}→ 21:08, 20 April 2009 (UTC)

Main Page

I have no idea who to talk to about this so I chose you because you're obviously a sysop (that protect you just did). So, could we try to do the FireRed and LeafGreen chapters in special for the "currently needed article" part?--Pokemonguy1 Pikachu! Do you think that this page is good (please answer on its talk page)? 02:40, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
