Can I join it? I don't like the anime very much, I love the games though!. (I'm usually glued to the computer or my DS Lite) --- unsigned comment from Stinkoman (talk • contribs)

I think I'm able to allow you in. If I can allow you, you're in. Netto-kun 14:02, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

Yellow Trainer Sprites

There is an extremely lack of Yellow non-species sprites both in the archives and in usage throughout the Internet. As I searched google, I could not find one site with the unique Yellow Trainer sprites. That being said, I have whipped back out my Yellow ROM and am capturing Trainer sprites, removing backgrounds with Pixen, and saving them as PNGs to upload onto Archives so that we can have the Yellow Trainers. For example, Brock looks different in Yellow than in RGB, GSC, or FRLG (though the second two sets are a bit obvious). The GSC Red and GSC Blue sprites are based upon the Yellow sprites, but the colours are different. Jessie and James are ONLY in Yellow. These sprites should be here, but they're not. So I'm taking the liberty of joining Project CharacterDex to sprite out Yellow's trainers. Satosuke 19:00, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

Guide for Character Articles

I suggest there should be some sort of guide on the project page on how to write, order and format Character articles to keep them all looking neat and consistent. I've noticed a lot of the articles I've edited, that the Headings are often not all in the same order: sometimes "In the animes" is before "In the games", otherwise after; or Names is put subheading under Trivia... I can never tell what is correct. However, if there already is an existing guide somewhere, please tell me where.

Can I join

I would like to join your project,Please.(dumdum king 19:44, 23 December 2008 (UTC))

Um...

You can't really have this template on a talk page for reasons shown below--Pokemonguy1 Pikachu! 05:54, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

• anyone who adds a new section will add it onto empty space
• Templates are hard to maintain on talk pages

Two questions: content order and missing character

So I was browsing Team Magma and Aqua character articles, and I see that Maxie's headers go Game, then Anime, and Archie's go Anime, then Game. Maxie's seemed far more appeasing with that order, so I wound up switching Archie's headers, and I think it's better for it. So why /isn't/ the default that Games come before Anime?

Sure, the old argument is "people are looking for the anime sections first" but I don't think that's true. Nor calculable. In some cases, where the templates for the game characters get incredibly out of hand (rivals), it's easier to put the anime section on top; otherwise, it would get lost among the tables and load-time. Except load-time won't make a difference: either you're stuck waiting for it to load so you can scroll twice/thrice, or hit END and scroll up a few times, so it's also not about lag.

I do think game characters (for those that can) should have their game biographies before their anime one. It's the natural order, in most cases. Games precede anime, and both precede manga.

Also, didn't we have an article for the "tip giver" guy found in every gym? I swore we did. Was it deleted? Luna Tiger * the Arc Toraph 03:29, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

I've always wondered that. For game characters who appear in the anime, they appeared in the game first, so we should put it that way in the article. And that guy is called the caretaker. He has an article. It's not quite orphaned, but not many pages link to it. — THE TROM — 03:35, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

For the headers, it doesn't really matter what order. Just that they're all the same. But Psy has the last say in this, not me. R.A. Hunter Blade 03:38, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for taking over MY job for this guys. --^Psychic_Rider^☮ 03:39, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

You're very welcome. That's why I said you have the last say. :D R.A. Hunter Blade 03:42, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

After two edit conflicts, my say. Personally, it honestly doesn't matter to me. But if it has to be consistent with all other pages, I'd go with anime, games, and manga like it is already. But for cases of rivals or anything with long sections, I'd put anime before the games. However, they'd also have to be consistent, so rivals or other pages with long sections get that treatment only. All other pages, I'd say anime, games and manga if applicable. If someone complains about it, I'll try to compromise. Plus there's a navigation bar for sections long sections like that so if they're not happy they can use that. They'd be better and more helpful for that. --^Psychic_Rider^☮ 03:54, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

Can I join? I think my brother started this project... --DragonMaster 13:04, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

No one needs to ask to join any Bulbapedia project. Go right ahead. —darklordtrom 19:54, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

Appearances

Should we add a list of apearances for anime, manga and games? Just to know when they appeared. We could do it in a box. And at the top of the box we could do a category (anime, pokespe, games ETC). So what do you think? Lunick v sonela 11:41, 20 September 2009 (UTC)

About some of the Gym Leader's Pokemon . . .

It has been bugging me that some of the abilities of Gym Leader's are "Unknown". Well this is just a suggestion. For people who can, their is an Action Replay code that can make it so you can steal other people's Pokémon (I can't do it because mine doesn't work). What someone can do is steal a Gym Leader's Pokémon that doesn't have a known ability on Bulbapedia and figure it out that way.

WARNING: SOME GLITCHES MAY OCCUR AND IF YOUR DS, GAME, OR ACTION REPLAY BREAKS I CANNOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR I HAVE GIVEN YOU THIS WARNING. IF NOBODY CAN DO THIS IT IS ONLY A SUGGESTION ON HOW TO FIGURE OUT THE ABILTIES. THANK YOU

-- Landfish⁷ 23:28, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

Yep. I already do that. But if you could tell me the ones that are still missing other than HGSS, that'd be nice. --Psy_ライダー☮ 23:52, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

Oh, please. Why resort to stealing? An easier way to do this would be to hack a Master Ball into your pocket, then set a wild encounter code for Porygon and a level modifier code for something high, then catch the first Porygon you see that has Trace. Catch yourself a few low-level sacrificial lambs you can use to repeat Trace with every Pokémon. Do this with each and every one of the gym leaders. --Shiningpikablu252 02:09, 27 October 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, but that's the less fun way to do things. And even so using your strategy which still involves cheating, I'd like to know what set of them are still not known. --Psy_ライダー☮ 20:00, 27 October 2009 (UTC)

Instead of me finding out which one's are uknown, YOU can. Go to each Gym Leader's page and see which one has an ability that says Unknown. Then if you don't know how to enter the abilty's name into the coding just make a subpage on your userpsace called "User:PsychicRider/MissingAbilties" or something similar and we'll check it out and put it in ourselves. :) -- Landfish⁷ 22:19, 27 October 2009 (UTC)

Why did you come here to tell us this, if you you weren't going to at least tell us where you saw them which made you come to us, to help us out. I got it, Lazyfish. Don't worry about it. I'll find it for you, so I can make your life easier. --Psy_ライダー☮ 19:42, 28 October 2009 (UTC)

o_O . . . I . . . I didn't mean to sound offending. My Action Replay currently won't function so I couldn't do this. So I decided to get help from other people in the Bulbapedia community. I understand now that you wanted ME to do find which ones are missing so it could be a team job. For your convenience I'll make a subpage called User:Landfish7/MissingAbilities and make a checklist for what needs to be figured out. Again sorry for offending you in any way, shape, or form. :( -- Landfish⁷ 19:41, 29 October 2009 (UTC)

Awkward~ Mostly cause I noticed this like 17 days after you made the post, it's fine. I just figured you had seen one and it remind you of this so you came here to tell me us so we could fix it, that's all. And I found the ones that were missing. Trainer's Abra and evos always have Synchronize, and Rhyhorn wasn't that hard. --Psy_ライダー☮ 00:11, 17 November 2009 (UTC)

== Trainer Classes in General ==

OK, this might be a stupid question, but on some pages I'm always seeing that the only trainer list are on FireRed/LeafGreen. Why not the other games?--The Bulb's Master 00:49, 20 April 2010 (UTC)
