Pokémon PC Master

Bulbapedia has this information about the game and Wikipedia has this information about the same game. Which one is correct? I'd assume Wikipedia is correct because I've seen the Japanese version of The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon and in the commercials before the episode started, there was one announcing Pokémon PC Master and it corresponds to what Wikipedia sintectically says about its purpose. It had a website but it no longer works -- here you can find the most recent copy of the website available on the Internet Archive. Please help me figure out so the article can be corrected. Pokemon lover 16:30, 15 March 2009 (UTC)

BTW, I've found this on Wikipedia. Pokemon lover 16:43, 15 March 2009 (UTC)

403 Error

Not sure where to post this, but usually, and on a daily basis, the first few times I try to load up this Wiki, I get an Access Forbidden & 403 error. Is this a server-related problem? Does the website not work at certain times during the day? QTR 23:48, 28 March 2009 (UTC)

That just means that the server is currently down, and is being repaired. Not to worry, it's not uncommon. --Theryguy512 23:50, 28 March 2009 (UTC)

Well it happened about 30 minutes ago or so, not sure exactly how long, that's just a guess-timate. About 5 minutes later, I was able to connect. QTR 23:50, 28 March 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, it's off and on as our webmaster tries to find a permanent fix to the problem. It's been down recently due to the large number of edits you guys have all been making. So, just wait it out. — THE TROM — 02:05, 29 March 2009 (UTC)

Wait...

Why are the tags visible on the second and bottom headers? -Jayc 14:53, 30 March 2009 (UTC)

Bulbawiki is glitchy at the moment, so you might really see something wrong, and that includes codes that are not working. ►Ҝəυzø8 14:55, 30 March 2009 (UTC)

Just for the record, the tags made visible by the glitch allow text to be displayed in small caps, allowing characters to be inputted in lowercase, but be displayed in uppercase at the same height as a typical lowercase character (i.e. "a" is a typical lowercase character, but "b" isn't due to its height). --Shiningpikablu252 14:59, 30 March 2009 (UTC)

Classification?

Something came to my mind a few days ago, how do we classify the Pokémon games? RPG, or JRPG? I mean, technically, they'd be JRPG's right, seeing as they're made in Japan, and not only that but are similar in many ways too other JRPG's. Like the battle systems, the only difference is in most JRPG's you play humans, but in Pokémon you play a human, and through them you command the Pokémon. What do you guys think? ~~Takoto - サソデイ 12:19, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

Either way, they're still RPGs; "JRPG" is sort of a sub-category within that. If you made a duplicate of Pokémon in the 'States, it would just be a RPG, not a JRPG (despite sharing all the styles and gameplay). So I think we can just avoid the confusion and/or debate on that topic right there by simply classifying it as an RPG. -- Jïörüjï Ðērākō.>.cнаt^ 13:18, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

Technically it's a console RPG, but that term is now archaic. Redstar 18:17, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

I had to cheat it to get me confirmed

Why do you have to be email-confirmed and a logged-in user to edit pages here? Other wikis let you edit anonymously or without being email-confirmed. --HideInTheDark 02:42, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

Because we don't want morons coming by and vandalizing. Makes it a lot harder to vandalize if you have to register sock emails, since then only the hardcore trolls go through with it. TTEchidna 02:46, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

Ditto what the Echidna-in-chief said about the socks, but also, because we don't want to be like other wikis and have hordes of badly maintained articles. This way, we know that anyone who wants to contribute is serious about it (or should be serious), and we can have the best information ever. It also lets us know who says what, and issue punishments and rewards occasionally and accordingly. What have you got to complain about though, you've got your account. Now, go edit the mainspace! *brushes you away with a broom* :P — THE TROM — 02:50, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

Firefox: problem?

Why does Bulbapedia look curvy in Firefox? It appears fine in IE and Opera. Here's a screenshot that may be helpful to better understand the problem. Pokemon lover 13:59, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

You have it backwards, the problem is that it's NOT curvy in IE and Opera. The Dark Fiddler - You enter a poorly lit room... 13:56, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

That's right. The problem only seems to occur in Firefox. Pokemon lover 13:59, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

OOPS! Sorry, I misread what you said. So it's supposed to look that way (i.e., curvy)? Pokemon lover 14:03, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

Yes. IE and Opera lack the coding to form curved borders, so only Firefox can view it. Θρtιmαtum_Talk 14:01, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

OK, now I understand the reason for that behavior. Thanks! ^_^ Pokemon lover 14:03, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

Different people have different stances on how the corners are best rendered. Just because one browser curves the corners and another doesn't doesn't mean it looks outright horrible in either browser. --Shiningpikablu252 15:18, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

Actually, there is a nifty HTML trick for rounded edges that works in IE. Here's the article: http://www.alistapart.com/articles/customcorners Phoenix 21:18, 25 April 2009 (UTC)

We'll need to talk to the people who make MediaWiki for that. TTEchidna 22:52, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

Disambiguation

When I typed in Prinplup, I got a disambig page. Should I make that page Prinplup (disambiguation), make Prinplup a redirect, and put "for other uses, see Prinplup (disambiguation)" on Prinplup (Pokémon)? Theininen 15:45, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

No, this has been the system since the beginning, and it will not be changing. We've had polls, discussions, and arguements, and we have decided that the system we have now is the best and it won't ever be changing. ^Maverick_Nate 15:48, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

OK, thanks, I haven't been around for a while, so I wasn't sure what the policy was. Theininen 15:50, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

You should have still known, this has been the policy since the beginning. I even checked for proof for you to read why. Bulbapedia talk:Disambiguation poll and even the thread on the forums here. ^Maverick_Nate 15:56, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

No, I meant I forgot. Thanks though, I'll read those. Theininen 16:01, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

Extending the wiki for the Spanish language

Will it possible to create an extension of this wiki for the Spanish language at the international level?. The Spanish used to be that used in Hispanic America, and the names of characters, places and others are the same as used in United States. --Toonamimaniacolatino 16:59, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

There is already at least one Spanish Pokémon Wiki already running, pokéteca, so for us to create such an extension at this point would just be more work; it's much easier to simply contribute to one of the Spanish Wikis that's already active. -- Jïörüjï Ðērākō.>.cнаt^ 17:59, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

The Pokéteca wiki is a wiki in Spanish, but this is not edited by users in Latin America, is edited by users of Spain, so the names of characters (such as May, in Spain is called Aura), and other cities are not the same as used in Latin America. While in Spain they changed the names to the characters, not in Latin America because the Pokémon video games that come to this region come from the United States and remain unchanged. We want a wiki where Spanish is not using the nomenclature given in Spain if not the ones used in Latin America (which are the same as those used in United States). --Toonamimaniacolatino 18:34, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

Last I checked, Wikipedia had only one Spanish variation. Trust me, there is no way to completely satisfy Spanish speakers in all parts of the world with just one wiki.

Regardless of how Spanish-language affiliation for Encyclopaediae Pokémonis turns out (unless there's two Spanish wikis, and even then there'd need to be two different inter-wiki prefixes), there's still going to be focus problems. To avoid complete alienation of a group of Spanish-speakers, be it those in Latin America or those on the Iberian Peninsula, there should at least be redirects from other variations of the language as well as slight mentions of them on the pages, be they Latin America-based redirects on a Spain-focused wiki or Spain-based redirects on a Latin America-based wiki. --Shiningpikablu252 18:43, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

You know that Wikipedia in Spanish used only one classification, which is the United States? is being implemented policies titles convention and use common sense. The names used in the United States are better known than the names of any other country (including Spain) and why this is being implemented. To redirect and put other things besides just the people of Spain is foolish for them not only is Spain and Latin America. The main idea of a wiki is in Spanish that is targeted for the whole world (not just Latin America and Spain, although the latter always change the names) and nomenclature used is the same as used Bulbapedia, the United States. --Toonamimaniacolatino 19:03, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

Pokéteca besides, there is another wiki in spanish called Wikidex , but like the first, is a wiki Wikidex edited by users of Spain, so their contents only revolves around them (apparently they do not know that there Latin America). Bulbapedia that would be good to do a version of yourself in Spanish or even better make another wiki in Spanish but with the same format as the bulbapedia (with the same names of characters, places, etc.) and not use anything that has to do with Spain and forming part of Encyclopaediae Pokémonis. --Toonamimaniacolatino 21:49, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

Correction there are editors from around Central America (South to be exact) in PokeTeca. And WikiDex is Wikia we do not include Wikia part of EP. Anyways, stop complaining about it being Iberian Spanish if you have a problem make redirects over there or talk to one of their admins. And Wikipedia is not always the best resource for Pokémon infomation.--☆Coolピカチュウ! 23:58, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

Used vosotros y despues me habled. :D TTEchidna 22:48, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

Well, whatever, there is no use talking to them that for them there is only Spain and nothing more. If you intend to do a wiki Pokémon in Spanish, this should be neutral and use the international names, ie names used in USA. --Toonamimaniacolatino 17:40, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

I love the irony in that statement. As do the Germans and the French, I'm sure. If you think it's a problem, go and talk to their administrators. We can't do anything about what language they include. — THE TROM — 20:03, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

The same thing would have to been done to the Portuguese wiki, which is more focused on the Brazilian part than the Portuguese part. Pokemon lover 19:12, 9 May 2009 (UTC)

That isn't true, Toonamimaniacolatino, there're latinamerican administrators and pokétecarios in Pokéteca working in the wiki, so ... for us there isn't only Spain and nothing more but I think that if the wiki is in spanish we have to use the spanish names (like other wikis in other languages use their languages) because in Latinamerica the game arrives unfortunately from USA whitout translations. However, I understand the problem for LA with the names and we'll see what can we do. --Habieru 15:52, 16 May 2009 (UTC)

Habieru, that's not the point they have not also want to make changes that Pokéteca a wiki is managed by the Pkstation fansite, which is administered by Spanish Do you know what I mean? Better or try to make the effort to talk to the Spaniards is to waste time, plus they do not like the idea of using the names used in the U.S. Is there any objection by the fact that games come fully into English for the Latin American region? I do not see any further dubbing anime in Spanish which is done for the region Latin America Mexico, is based on the games that come in English and that there is any problem in creating a wiki in Spanish that is subject to Bulbapedia. --Toonamimaniacolatino 00:35, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

(reset indent) Just an FYI, Habieru is the administration on Pokéteca, more or less. -- Jïörüjï Ðērākō.>.cнаt^ 07:46, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

Pokémon that can learn TMs

I've seen on a few move pages, like Frustration, that "All Pokémon that can learn TMs can learn this move", so wouldn't it be a good idea to have a list or category of all pokémon that can learn TMs, and conversely a list or category of pokémon that can't learn TMs (like Magikarp). Jmvb 08:15, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

Eh, I dunno. Most people will get it when they try to use Frustration on something useless like the karp. TTEchidna 22:50, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

I believe a "Pokémon that cannot learn any TMs" category could be really nice, for the sake of trivia. It's not hard to put together. Mr. Charlie 02:21, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

I believe they are Caterpie, Metapod, Weedle, Kakuna, Magikarp, Ditto, Unown, Wobbuffet, Wurmple, Silcoon, Cascoon, Wynaut, Burmy, Combee and Kricketot. Correct me if I'm wrong. Mr. Charlie 02:32, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

There's also Beldum Jmvb 14:40, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

The White Rocks

I think we should have an article that explains the white rocks shown in different riegons. It could include the confusion over Kanto's white rock, and it could explain that Hoenn has a white rock, but it doesn't seem to be important, etc. Igglybuff63 00:36, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

There are two white rocks... one in Hoenn and one in Sinnoh... so what? That's not only on the GSDS page, but the one in Sinnoh is already explained in multiple articles pertaining to it's event. R.A. Hunter Blade 00:41, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

The one in Hoenn isn't polished and shiny and crap. HGSS will show us what Oak meant... and likely give us the item Rowan's Letter. TTEchidna 04:09, 8 May 2009 (UTC)

Missing articles about the beta stage of games

Should articles about the beta of Pokémon Blue, Pokémon Yellow and Pokémon Crystal be made? Besides the beta article about HG/SS, since we only know that the games will be launched and with the first details to come in a few hours, these should be created. I made the question on the main article of the betas discussion page but haven't got an answer yet. I can help with research but first I'll need to know which tools to use. =P Pokemon lover 17:53, 9 May 2009 (UTC)

You didn't read it very well did you? R/G is practically the beta of Blue & Yellow, and G/S is basically the R/G for Crystal. R.A. Hunter Blade 18:19, 9 May 2009 (UTC)

So? Emerald got its beta article, hasn't it? Thus, it makes sense to have, at least, an article about the beta of Crystal. Pokemon lover 18:22, 9 May 2009 (UTC)

I realized that after I said that, but unless you know how to get the beta info for Crystal and Yellow, then the pages aren't gonna happen any time soon. R.A. Hunter Blade 18:26, 9 May 2009 (UTC)

That's the problem. I don't know how to get that information. But I'm interested in knowing, so if somebody can help me, I'll be very grateful. ;) Pokemon lover 18:29, 9 May 2009 (UTC)

I don't have a Gameshark or even the skills to hack everything out of Yellow. But I still don't think that we need one for them. Yellow was a special game, not really a third version, and Crystal is really not changed much from G/S, except for the storyline tweaks. R.A. Hunter Blade 18:32, 9 May 2009 (UTC)

You still got VBA for some reason. Even so, I'm curious to know that. I think people didn't look for it because they considered the games too similar but it's no less interesting to find something about the changes. And I know that Yellow was a special version instead of a third version (although this only counts for Japan; it's considered a third version elsewhere). Still, it'd be thoughtful to at least try to find beta tracks of the mechanics that Game Freak used to make Pikachu the only Pokémon availabe outside of its Poké Ball as well as the basic happiness system. Pokemon lover 18:45, 9 May 2009 (UTC)

VBA? And for the beta, somebody else here'll have to do it. R.A. Hunter Blade 18:50, 9 May 2009 (UTC)

Yes, the GBA emulator. And although it seems to be frustrating, I agree with you when it comes to who should make the research. :S Pokemon lover 18:54, 9 May 2009 (UTC)

Artwork

Should templates for the different artworks be created? I mean, throughout the years and generations, new artwork is made, so it should be good to have them all grouped, since it's more information that is present (and it's relevant, IMO). Pokemon lover 18:07, 9 May 2009 (UTC)

Project Overgrow - Final stage

So HG/SS is slowing down the admin team, huh? Just kidding. =P But when we'll know the final step to complete Project Overgrow? Pokemon lover 20:23, 9 May 2009 (UTC)

When they feel like it, of course. The Dark Fiddler - You enter a poorly lit room... 20:25, 9 May 2009 (UTC)

I imagine it'll be reopening the NFAs. --Alpha Totodile_RWAR!! 20:33, 9 May 2009 (UTC)

OK then. But since it's been a while since the article about it refers that phase V is going to be announced soon, I thought they should've announced it by now. Pokemon lover 20:36, 9 May 2009 (UTC)

Mainly it's server issues that've been messing things up. TTEchidna 09:01, 10 May 2009 (UTC)

User Page Disaster!!!

What's happened to my user page? It's completely gone! It took ages to put it together and now I've got to start it all over again :( Is it because I went on holiday and didn't edit it for a while? Taromon777 10:43, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

it's.... fine.... the stuff is still there....--ForceFire 10:45, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

Yep, true. It's completely fine. Try refreshing the page. Maybe it refused to load. Kevzo8 10:46, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

Wikis been going crazy for a while. Hit refresh and it will be fine.--Clarky13 10:50, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

Ah yes, it's back again now! Sorry to bother you! Taromon777 10:43, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

??

Is anybody else having a problem with saving pages? I've had to save new users' talk pages to get the welcome on two or three times each, and I can't use preview, or else it goes to the "Editing Page" thing, for when you edit the whole page instead of a section. Just like what it did now, except I used save page... R.A. Hunter Blade 22:02, 17 May 2009 (UTC)

Yep. And pages with é in the title won't let you edit sometimes either. Obviously someone's playing with the server right now. Nothing major to worry about; it should hopefully be back soon. — THE TROM — 22:04, 17 May 2009 (UTC)

Alright. My computer has been acting crappy lately, but I didn't think it would do this, so just asking. R.A. Hunter Blade 22:07, 17 May 2009 (UTC)

Whenever I load a page in Chrome, it alerts me that the page has an infinite redirect. PhoenixGraphix™ 22:08, 17 May 2009 (UTC)

I've been having these problems too. I'm starting to think the system hates us. First the system rejects any notion of allowing any number of question marks in page titles (although it can be tricked into producing results on certain pages that end with question marks), and now making it so we might have to try multiple times to complete any given action? (I myself had to try twice just to get this comment in!) It's as if the server's trying to revolt against Archaic! --Shiningpikablu252 03:44, 18 May 2009 (UTC)

At times it's rejecting non-alphanumeric characters, too. Like if I try to search something like "User:Sol", it turns to User%235Sol or something of the sort. And at other times, editing pages with é in them will result in a "bad title" thing. It's really annoying. ~ solaris 03:48, 18 May 2009 (UTC)

I noticed that when I had to get to somebody's page yesterday... and yeah. All of the stuff you guys said is exactly what I was asking about. Crap... I just remembered I have to type the tildes now too... R.A. Hunter Blade 12:51, 18 May 2009 (UTC)

If anyone's wondering about the GS color scheme

I'm not planning on changing it back anytime soon. In fact, I'll likely leave it until July, at which time it'll be replaced by the Crystal one to celebrate its anniversary. TTEchidna 07:42, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

IE8

I think that after all this server issues are solved and after Project Overgrow is complete, you guys should make Bulbagarden completely IE8-compatible because with the exception of the forums, all the other websites show me the Compatibility View option, meaning that they weren't updated in order to become fully compatible with IE's 8th version yet. Pokemon lover 15:19, 23 May 2009 (UTC)

Do you have any problems? Please, specify them. — Tenno Seremel 15:47, 23 May 2009 (UTC)

Considering IE8 was just released recently, I'd expect not everyone or everything has taken advantage of it yet. Also, keep in mind, we're running off of MediaWiki 1.14 software, and that any IE8 issues likely will be taken care of in 1.15. TTEchidna 19:44, 23 May 2009 (UTC)

Moreover, considering IE8 is more advanced in terms of CSS than it's previous incarnations I'd say there shouldn't be many problems at all. — Tenno Seremel 22:54, 23 May 2009 (UTC)

How come all the pages are protected?

Doesn't it make more sense to require users to log in to edit? EDIT: Whoops, double post. Sorry. - unsigned comment from Magikarp123193 (talk • contribs)

It's already required for users to log in to edit, but there will still be some users who will do something stupid even when logged in, so pages are protected so not even logged-in users will mess it up. ~ solaris 18:28, 23 May 2009 (UTC)

It's also because of the server problems, users are sometimes logged off randomly, they hope to have it fixed shortly. --^Psychic_Rider^☮ 18:30, 23 May 2009 (UTC)

Oh, I didn't know he meant all the pages. ~ solaris 18:32, 23 May 2009 (UTC)

lol Sol, it's in the title..."How come all the pages are protected?". I'm pretty sure that's what he meant... --^Psychic_Rider^☮ 18:35, 23 May 2009 (UTC)

I know that, but all can be used as a hyperbole, so that's why I italicized all, to put more emphasis on it so it actually meant all. *going smartical on you* ~ solaris 18:38, 23 May 2009 (UTC)

Ah, I see. But being a user of Roserade, I am right in this matter... I think it is referring to the server issues as it says all though as not all pages are protected and this user is a registered user. --^Psychic_Rider^☮ 18:41, 23 May 2009 (UTC)

He means when you get logged off while trying to edit the page, yes. R.A. Hunter Blade 19:18, 23 May 2009 (UTC)

503

So I know that everyone was hoping that the 503s were fixed, but when I first got on a little bit ago, one of the first pages I went to I got 503'd on. Just throwing that out there if it hasn't been noted already. R.A. Hunter Blade 20:04, 24 May 2009 (UTC)

Which one's the 503 error? The one that loses your changes when you try to edit?--☆AT♂ 20:05, 24 May 2009 (UTC)

No. The one where it says that a server is unavailable to recieve your data or something like that. R.A. Hunter Blade 20:08, 24 May 2009 (UTC)

whoops, I meant "the one that says the server lost your session data after an edit". Is that the one? --☆AT♂ 20:11, 24 May 2009 (UTC)

Vandalism?

I have noticed random acounts being made and vandalising the site. Anyone might have an idea when this will stop? -- Vhayes1992 18:33, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

Look at the Message From the Editor. Also look at this. --ニョロトノ666 18:35, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

It's obvious that the guy will not get anywhere with the vandilism, but is there any guesses on when the person will give up?-- Vhayes1992 18:46, 25 May 2009

The fact that there's been about 300 blocked accounts in May alone is kind of... Almost unsettling in a way. Why would someone go to all that trouble to annoy and vandalize us? Seriously! But it does seem to be picking up at some times so it probably won't stop soon, but I hope it does. --Hey1031 23:35, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

A question about a "rule"?

Alright, I was wondering why do we have the "No Multiple Accounts" rule? I mean, I can understand if a User uses another account to get around a ban or something but... Seriously? Why do we ban someone for having two accounts? Hardly any other websites do it, and I mean heck, Facepunch don't ban you for having alt/multiple accounts unless you're using them to spam or something, and Facepunch has always been a really strict forum. So yeah, why do we have this rule? Is there any good reason? ~~Takoto - サソデイ 23:39, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

If someone wants to contribute, then one account surely is enough. If multiple accounts are made and left, then in an instance when the first account is blocked, the second account can be used to get around that block. They can be used in instances of voting; users can try and show a majority opinion for a majority point of view. This has been done before. Now, when they do have multiple accounts, we don't block them both - just one. They can still edit. Just because other sites do it doesn't mean we should too. — THE TROM — 23:55, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

About Pictures

I'm a poster for pictures, I love to post for Shippings, Items, all of that. But, for some reason, I can't see my pictures after I put them in an article. I checked everything to make sure it works and it does, so what's the problem? P.S. Sometimes when I log off, I'm able to see the pictures.Tandra88 01:17, 27 May 2009 (UTC)tandra88

We're having problems with the server the site is hosted on atm. As a result, some images aren't showing up. There are techs working on this problem; there shouldn't be anything major to worry about. — THE TROM — 01:44, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

Ok thank you so much. I acually thought it was my computer but now I know. Thanks! :) Tandra88 14:42, 27 May 2009 (UTC)tandra88

Log In

I have a problem. Sometimes when I edit an article, I try to save it, but I can't because I get logged out. Also, when I click the log in button to sign back in, I look at the top and it's logged in. Is something wrong?Tandra88 19:28, 27 May 2009 (UTC)tandra88

New comments to the bottom of the page. And technically 98% of these questions should be directed at the Bulbawiki forum.... but the logout problem is yet another server flaw. We're hoping it won't hang around for too much longer. (Incidentally, I've never been logged out...) — THE TROM — 19:39, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

I've been seeing that too. I just keep telling it to save until it does. Sometimes it takes ten tries, sometimes it goes on the first try. --Galladeon 19:41, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

A few days ago, I kept getting logged out every 5 minutes, but when I click again, I was logged in again. This hasn't really been a problem since then but it was really frustrating trying to edit articles. --Hey1031 22:07, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
