Archive 1 (discussions from my old account)

Welcome

Welcome to Bulbapedia, Chocolate!

As a new user, you may wish to learn a few things that will be useful in your editing:

• For a basic overview of wiki code, see this page.
• The manual of style is very important. Make sure to read it. It outlines all official policies of Bulbapedia.
• The word Pokémon is spelled with a capital P and an accented é. The P, of course, is accessed easily by holding Shift and pressing the P key, while the é can be accessed using Alt + 130 or Alt + 0233 on a Windows computer, and Option + e, then e again on a Mac. Otherwise, you can click it in the character palette below the editbox.
• The word Poké Ball is spelled as two words. The "Poké" part is identical to the four beginning letters in "Pokémon"; "Ball" is spelled with a captial B (which is, again, accessed by holding Shift and pressing the B key). The spelling "Pokéball" arises frequently, but is incorrect.
• The word "you" and all forms of it should not be used on encyclopedic pages unless it is a quote from Pokémon media. Bulbapedia is an encyclopedia, not a walkthrough.
• On talk pages, please sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).
• The use of link templates is official policy. For an explanation on their use, see the page on shortlinks.
• If you happen to spot a vandal in the recent changes that has not been dealt with, please see this page for how to deal with it.
• A list of pages that are linked to, but have not been created, can be found at this page. A list of short articles that may require more information can be found here, while a list of articles that need improvement can be found here.
• If you want to make a page about a character you made up, please create it at User:Chocolate/Archive 2/(name), not merely (name). Bulbapedia's main namespace is reserved for actual, official Pokémon, items, characters, and locations. Also, please try to make sure that subpages are not categorized by templates used within.
• A list of the admins that you can contact in case of a problem, can be found here.

Thank you, and have a good time editing here!^PokeManiac₁₀₂ 01:40, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

Tried

Have you tried emailing yourself your password? C Is for Cookie

I can't. It was stupid of me to not enter an e-mail address when I registered, but I can't change what happened. Baby G 21:01, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

Help

For absolutely NO reason, I'm not allowed to edit my user page when I try to. WTF is going on? Baby G 23:21, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Read the Message from the Editor on the main pagePokeManiac102 23:23, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

And click the Zhen Lin link there, after that, you will know everythingPokeManiac102 23:24, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

When will I be able to edit it again? Baby G 20:23, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

You forgot your password for babyg

Log out, Log Bak In, Type in babyg, and press recover lost password. Follow directions from there--KukiTalk 22:02, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

I can't. I didn't have an e-mail address registered on my old account. Baby G 01:50, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

How is that possible? You can't even make edits on Bulbapedia until you receive and respond to the confirmation e-mail. --Martonimos_{((Argh|Blargh))} 22:22, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

Well, I don't remember my e-mail address from my old account. That's what I meant to say. Baby G 22:30, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

Doesnt it say it in preferences? you lost me...DCM 02:53, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

Doesn't do much good if you can't log in to see the preferences, though. --Martonimos_{((Argh|Blargh))} 03:58, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

Cant an admin check it?DCM 12:55, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

Even if an admin can find it out for me, I don't remember my password for my e-mail either. My password on Bulbapedia is the same as my e-mail password, and I don't remember my e-mail password. But I've got a new e-mail address now. Baby G 13:25, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

Talk Page Comments

Please don't erase talk page comments for no reason. Trust me, you do NOT want to end up like Big Johnno, who got into an edit war with a sysop over comments the former had erased and was trying to keep erased. That user ended up blocked and subsequently had every erased comment restored. --Martonimos_{((Argh|Blargh))} 20:53, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

Please, try to refrain from editing talk pages for a little while. As you can see from that template I subst'd, deleting comments is against the rules. Like I keep saying, just chill out for a while. I can deal with Kuki. --Martonimos_{((Argh|Blargh))} 20:53, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

Can someone change my user name?

When an admin comes and has reviewed this discussion, he or she can remove the archive templates and this message.

My current user name is getting boring, so I'd like a new one, if it's possible on this site (I know it is on Wikipedia but I'm not sure about here). If it is possible, I'd like my user name to be changed to "Pokémon1994". Baby G 00:16, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

Please keep in mind that we discourage frequent username changing, especially ones that are unmotivated. (Tavisource was renamed since the original username had a typo; Optimatum was renamed to avoid a connection with a vandal; DCM's original username was unwieldy.) - 振霖_T 17:14, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

So it can't be changed? Baby G 17:16, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

Give us a good reason other than*because I felt like it*Your Friendly Neighborhood Cookie Monster

Because I hate my current user name. Baby G 18:55, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

Thats not really that bad....my last user name was HUGE!!!!!Your Friendly Neighborhood Cookie Monster

Well, my current user name has nothing to do with the articles I contribute to, while a user name like "Pokémon1994" does involve my contributions. Baby G 18:59, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

Why is it important that your name matches your contributions?DCM means nothing to any of my contributions....Your Friendly Neighborhood Cookie Monster

I'm just kinda picky with certain things. Baby G 19:08, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

Hmmmm, that might not be good enough.Are you sick of your name because when people see the word Baby they think of you as immature?Your Friendly Neighborhood Cookie Monster

No, I just think my name is too random. It has nothing to do with me in real life or on Bulbapedia. Baby G 19:24, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

Mine was random, but also easy to remember--KukiTalk 19:26, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

Well, I don't like having random names. Baby G 19:28, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

Although my name can b traced bak to Kingler's anime cry--KukiTalk 19:30, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

Well, my name can't really be traced to anything. Baby G 19:30, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

Well then thats too bad for you.Your not gonna change it because you no longer like it.Goo dayYour Friendly Neighborhood Cookie Monster

Can you please edit your comment so it sounds more civil? Saying "good day" makes it seem like you're yelling at me. Baby G 19:33, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

He's Darth Cookie Monster For Crying Out Loud!--KukiTalk 19:35, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

Now you're yelling too? How uncivil can you get? Baby G 19:36, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

You have no legitamat reason.Good Day Your Friendly Neighborhood Cookie Monster

I have several reasons that I have provided. Baby G 19:39, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

Because you hate your current user name.Congrats.Thats nothing.You just dont like this onw anymore.Thats not legitamate, thats just stupidity.Good day to you, sirYour Friendly Neighborhood Cookie Monster

That's it. You have crossed the line. I'm reporting you to an admin for being uncivil. Baby G 19:43, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

You can have fun with that.Your reasons for name change are unjust, compared to someone who didnt want to be compared to a vandalGood Day;DCM

Well hey, it's your own fault for being uncivil. Baby G 19:49, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

DCM, I am banning you from my talk page. Don't post here again or there will be consequences. Baby G 19:52, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

U can't do that--KukiTalk 19:56, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

Yes I can. If I do not wish to interact with a certain editor, I can ban them from my talk page. Baby G 19:54, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

how in the world is 'good day' uncivil? do you want him to wish you a bad day?Garrison12795 19:54, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

Because the way he said it made it seem uncivil. Baby G 19:55, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

He said 'Good Day'. He didn't add an exclimation mark or anything. Garrison12795 19:56, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

You cant ban people from posting on your talk page.Look here http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/User_talk:Darkrai_breederGood Day;DCM

own'd! Garrison12795 19:57, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

@Garrison12795: Do you really want me to report you too?
@DCM: I do not welcome people to my talk page if they insult me. Baby G 19:59, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

He's not insulting you, he's just saying that you can't block people from your talk page. you can refuse to talk to them, but not block them. Garrison12795 20:01, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

He did insult me. Baby G 20:01, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

He could have made a better choice of words, but I assure you, he didn't mean it.Garrison12795 20:04, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

He may have not meant it, but it still slipped out, and it's therefore still uncivil. Baby G 20:06, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

Go back and read it again.I didnt call you stupid, I called what you were doing stupid.Good Day;DCM

That may have sounded uncivil, but you still have to come up with a better reason. Garrison12795 20:08, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

DCM and Garrison12795, can you please both tell me why you even joined this discussion? I never had any interaction with either of you before, so what brought you here? Baby G 20:10, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

When Zhen Lin didn't respond, sum1 had to! Oh,and I've got another reason for u: BECAUSE WE FELT LIKE IT!!! HOW DOES THAT FEEL????--KukiTalk 20:15, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

DCM obviously knew you had no good reason, and informed you that you couldn't change it just because of that. Then after noticing that the conversation had gone for far too long, I decided to join in. Garrison12795 20:12, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

You claim that the discussion had gone on too long, so you joined in. That's just gonna make it go on longer. Baby G 20:13, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

If 3 users couldn't get you to find a better reason, I figured that 4 would.Garrison12795 20:15, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

Make it 5. lol jk. Haha! Dino-K1337

The original intention of this discussion was for me to get an answer if it was possible or not for names to be changed on this Website, and for my name to be changed if it was possible. I didn't intend for this discussion to turn into a huge discussion as it is now. Baby G 20:18, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

If you just accepted that that wasn't a good enough reason, then it wouldn't have been. Garrison12795 20:20, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

Take it easy, all of you. Let Baby G present his case to the admins, and they'll decide whether or not to allow it. You really can't say what they'll do.

Baby G, keep in mind that Zhen said above that you need a good reason to change your name. Present that reason to the admins, let them decide, and then stick with that decision. All you're doing right now is escalating the problem. --Martonimos_{((Argh|Blargh))} 20:20, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

This is y we all joined the convo: When Zhen Lin didn't respond, sum1 had to! Oh,and I've got another reason for u: BECAUSE WE FELT LIKE IT!!! HOW DOES THAT FEEL????--Kuki<spanstyle="color:#2c40a4;">Talk 20:24, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

Again with the uncivilness, Kuki? Baby G 20:22, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

Seriously, stop posting. All of you. This is pointless and spamming up the RCs. --Martonimos_{((Argh|Blargh))} 20:25, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

Please...

You've been making too many edits to the User talk: namespace lately. Please take your conversations to the forums, a chatroom, e-mail, an IM service, or something similar, as that many edits will slow down the server. --KukiTalk 20:40, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

Well, it's not my fault that people keep posting on my page and that I'm forced to respond. Baby G 20:41, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

U FORCED US TO RESPOND--KukiTalk 20:45, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

Let's talk

I'm sorry about yesterday--KukiTalk 20:23, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

Draco Meteor

It's been proven time and time again that Mew cannot learn Draco Meteor. If it could learn Draco Meteor from the tutor, then it would also be able to learn Frenzy Plant, Blast Burn, and Hydro Cannon from move tutors both at Cape Brink and on Route 228, tutors Mew are incompatible with. All four of those moves never corresponded to TMs, which Mew has universal compatability with, hence why Mew can be and are incompatible with those tutors.

Please don't change the Draco Meteor, Frenzy Plant, Blast Burn, or Hydro Cannon pages to add false information again. Adding false information is frowned upon here, and it's a blockable offense. --Shiningpikablu252 02:40, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

Have you actually tried to make it learn Draco Meteor? It can learn it. Baby G 20:19, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

I jsut tried.it cannot learn itDCM

Wait!

The moves shouldn't be in alphebetical order, they are in order of first time used! Please don't change anymore. ^Moldy_Orange 01:51, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

Is there a quote in the Manual of Style that says that? Baby G 01:55, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

I thought it was in the Mos, but I looked (it wasn't there, but I think TTE said this sometime) it is easier to add attacks to the list and tell how the Pokémon has developed overtime, that is not as easy when the moves are in a different order.^Moldy_Orange 01:56, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

Why I removed Scyther's back sprite trivia

Because I found out that most of the Pokémon from FRLG have different back sprites from their RSE counterparts. Scyther isn't special at all. Bulbapedia just didn't post the FRLG back sprites. --ケンジのガール 21:36, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

If that was the reason, you should've said that in your edit summary so people wouldn't have to ask you why. Baby G 21:37, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

Move Compatability

Each facet of a Pokémon's move compatability list is an entirely separate entity. The fact that a Pokémon learns a TM move by levelling up does NOT guarantee that it can learn it through the TM. Please don't go inserting how Burmy can learn Protect through TM17 and Hidden Power through TM10 on the sole basis that it gets them by level. Burmy can't learn ANY moves through TMs, and the fact that it gets two TM moves by level does not change that.

By your reasoning, Wynaut and Wobbuffet are compatible with TM20 (Safeguard) in Generation III and Generation IV. They're not. By your reasoning, Dratini and Dragonair are compatible with TM15 (Hyper Beam) in all four generations. They're not in Generations I and II.

Please accept the fact that Burmy can't learn Protect and Hidden Power through TM. You're already on thin ice as it is, please stop inserting false information! --Shiningpikablu252 14:44, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

Especially bcuz u can't have the same move twice w/o cheating--KukiTalk 14:46, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

Actually, once Burmy gets Tackle by level, it's possible to get the Move Deleter to remove Protect. That's the only way you can get the Move Deleter to erase Protect; it's not compatible with the Hidden Power TM, so you'll have to wait until it gets Tackle.

It's also possible to get the Move Deleter to erase Safeguard from a wild-captured Wobbuffet or to not even teach it to a Wynaut. --Shiningpikablu252 14:53, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

here is the problem with the template

1, you didn't categorize it; 2, the lack of edits from the user is enough of a clue that they don't come here anymore; 3, what if they come back, then they would have to edit it off; 4, you aren't allowed to edit other people's pages; 5, the user would have to put the template on their page themselves, thus causing them not to be retired. Must I go on? ^Moldy_Orange 02:26, 31 August 2008 (UTC)

1. I didn't know what to categorize it as.
2. If they put the template on their page, people will know beforehand.
3. True, but that wouldn't be a problem.
4. The user could put it on themself.
5. They could put it on before retiring. Baby G 02:29, 31 August 2008 (UTC)

Please

Slow down on editing the User: namespace. Editing your userpage too much will lead to it being locked again. Instead of making multiple small edits, why not instead use the preview button (Alt + Shift + P) to check your edits before saving the page? Thank you. --^Psychic_Rider^☮ 01:34, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

But I've been updating my Pokémon Diamond team a lot lately, and I need to keep putting the updates on my page. Baby G 01:35, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

So...you can use the preview button. And if your Internet allows it, use tabs to go to another part of the site if you need to find like a picture or something.--^Psychic_Rider^☮ 01:38, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

The preview button allows me to see how I've edited my page. How does it prevent me from editing my page a lot? Also, I already knew about the tab thing. Baby G 01:39, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

So you don't make too many edits. If you see something you don't like, you can change it on the spot, not 2 minutes later after you've saved it.--^Psychic_Rider^☮ 01:42, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

But that won't work in some cases. If I edit my page at 10 AM on one day, and get a new team member later that same day at 1 PM, that's a huge time difference. Baby G 01:43, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

Ugh...OK, the point is that you don't need to edit your userspace a lot. Wait until you get like... a new team to edit. But don't edit it a lot, it'll lead to another userspace block, then you don't have to worry about editing it.--^Psychic_Rider^☮ 01:47, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

What do you mean userspace "block"? Baby G 01:48, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

As in you won't be able to edit it...EVER!...or as long as the block is in effect. The block go for every user here. We had a previous one from like March or something until June/July. Look, I really don't know how much simpler I can make this--^Psychic_Rider^☮ 01:51, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

Why would we have to have a block like that? I don't see what's so bad about editing userpages a lot. Baby G 01:53, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

OK...This is going nowhere. Look, I can say this very simply, but at the same time, make you look stupid when people read it. DON'T EDIT IT A LOT. IT'S A POKÉCENTRIC ENCYCLOPEDIA, NOT MYSPACE OR FACEBOOK!! It's simple. And to answer your previous question, because people didn't edit the mainspace enough, or weren't using the preview button to make 1 edit instead of 15 or so. Get it, or do you need me to explain it more?--^Psychic_Rider^☮ 01:57, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

Okay...I get it...no need to shout... Baby G 01:58, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

Thank you. And that shouting, that was what I promised would make you feel stupid. If you were offended, my bad. I was making it simpler.--^Psychic_Rider^☮ 02:01, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

Just to clarify something... it wouldn't exactly be a block for everyone... we have ways of singling out offenders now. TTEchidna 19:18, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

Trade

Don't you want my shiny dialga?--Diamaster 03:22, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

Oh...

Why do you think people hate you? I think you're great! And by the way, on your user page, you're missing the "r" in "User tags"--☆Tavisource 01:48, 3 September 2008 (UTC)

Again

This is your second warning. Please refrain from editing the User: namespace too rapidly, or you will lose privileges. --Porygon-Z 02:02, 3 September 2008 (UTC)

How many edits can I make per day? Baby G 20:10, 3 September 2008 (UTC)

3 a dayDCM

Ugh.

Sorry about that, chief. --Martonimos_{((Argh|Blargh))} 21:08, 3 September 2008 (UTC)

whoops

I'm sorry, I guess I really wasn't paying attention to what I should have been doing. But, in order to make things clearer and to explain that both of your accounts are the same person, I suggest turning your old account's talk page from before into an archive of your new account, and making the old account's talk page a redirect to your current talk page. I think that would clear up some issues, sorry for the inconvenience. ^Moldy_Orange 22:40, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

Actually, you did it correctly, everything is where it needs to be and it has it's history. No need to worry about it. ^Moldy_Orange 00:18, 7 September 2008 (UTC)

Magma Storm

Why do you think it is not like Blizzard? The Placebo Effect 15:59, 7 September 2008 (UTC)

It doesn't cause a status condition or lower an opponent's stat. Baby G 16:00, 7 September 2008 (UTC)

But it does cause a trapping effect.
