I am made of metal, My magnets gleam, I am perpetual, I keep this site clean.

BEFORE YOU COMMENT!!
There's been rumblings of too much non-pedia discussion around here, so in the best interest of on-topic discussion, if you want to tell me something personal, or just plain off-topic, send me a Personal Message (PM) on the Bulbagarden Forums.

BTW...tired of waiting for a new Pokémon game just to tackle some new gyms? Then bring it on.

Sockpuppet?

ROM Hack Tools

I saw that there's a page on ROM hacks and some of the more notable ones, but nothing about tools used. Would I be able to create some pages on ROM hack tools, or is that not allowed? Genericuser62637 23:58, 27 May 2010 (UTC)

i would say no. ROM hacks are illegal, so we technically dont want to encourage it. also, the hacks themselves are notable because theyre fanon, but the tools dont fall in that category. -- MAGNEDETH 03:40, 28 May 2010 (UTC)

Pokemon Saturday

Ok. I'm tired of USA not getting a Pokemon Sunday so I'm making a Pokemon Saturaday on Youtube. I was wondering if I could use information (pokemon stats, news, etc...) from the site? totoRulz 20:10, 28 May 2010 (UTC)

uh, i guess so. not sure how you plan to compete with Psun, but just give us proper credit. -- MAGNEDETH 21:23, 28 May 2010 (UTC)

Anatomy Vs. Physiology

I've been reading the Pokemon's physiology but I found it somewhat odd, I'm a medical student and I suggest that the Physiology term should be change in Anatomy because of the fact that when we define physiology, it means more on the function of the body while in anatomy, more on defining or explaining each part of the body...well try to define those.. just a suggestion but more on facts..thanks..--GASPER^shut... 03:30, 29 May 2010 (UTC)

sounds like a prime subject for a discussion. ill get back to you. -- MAGNEDETH 07:20, 29 May 2010 (UTC)

thanks, ahmm another if we will use physiology it should be partnered with anatomy, meaning... we should put Anatomy and Physiology but if we will put that we need to add more data for all Pokemon, --GASPER^shut... 07:06, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

Banned

I don't mean to wine, and hope this won't effect by time of user space recovery, but I have been banned for over two months now, have contributed to the mainspace, and belief i have learned by lesson. Can i get my editing privileges back? DoTheWave 01:40, 26 June 2010 (UTC)

Asking won't help. Just keep making good edits to the mainspace and you'll get them back before you know it!--Pokélova! 01:51, 26 June 2010 (UTC)

you have been doing a good job, but with the excessive server stress, we want to reduce userspace edits to as low as possible. so keep making mainspace edits and perhaps ill give them back to you fairly shortly, but you cant go edit crazy. -- MAGNEDETH 04:05, 26 June 2010 (UTC)

Anatomy Vs. Physiology

still not going to change about physiology?? quite disturbing, sorry, because as time pass by, the physiology is just becoming a mix type with anatomy, should we change all with Anatomy and Physiology in each pokemon??--GASPER^shut... 12:56, 27 June 2010 (UTC)

weve had more important issues to handle as of late. have to get back to you. -- MAGNEDETH 15:33, 27 June 2010 (UTC)

Need help shrinking picture

I am making a page on my userpage on the similiarities of Pokemon and Ben 10 but when I am making my chart I don't know how to shrink the pictures from the other website. can you show me how to? this is what I have so far:

*stuff removed*

DoTheWave 04:55, 2 August 2010 (UTC)

As far as I'm aware, you can't. The only way to do it would be to resize the image using GIMP or Photoshop, uploading to photobucket or imageshack, and then hotlinking that way. —darklordtrom 07:42, 2 August 2010 (UTC)

blegh. go away large crap. -- MAGNEDETH 21:49, 2 August 2010 (UTC)

Regardng Routes

File:Temp image.png

See Route 3 and Route 4.

Shouldn't we use the | pipe to keep consistency? Unless the moves are permanent... ^ht14 02:33, 7 August 2010 (UTC)

the moves are permanent with the inclusion of the forthcoming Isshu Route #. -- MAGNEDETH 02:35, 7 August 2010 (UTC)

I know that, but I'm guessing we're fixing up the template, right? The bolded says Route X, whereas the sides say Kanto/Johto/Hoenn/Sinnoh Route X... so it's inconsistent... ^ht14 02:41, 7 August 2010 (UTC)

youre losing me. are you referring to Kanto Route 1 vs Route 1? -- MAGNEDETH 02:43, 7 August 2010 (UTC)

Ne'er mind, seems fine now... psych... if you want, I could do a print screen... because if you look at Route 3, that's what's going on. Bolded says Route 3. The right side says Kanto Route 4. Inconsistency... ^ht14 02:48, 7 August 2010

ive been having some weird issues occasionally. id like to see the screen if you can. -- MAGNEDETH 02:50, 7 August 2010 (UTC)

Done. ^ht14 03:03, 7 August 2010 (UTC)

ah, yea, i gotta fix that. btw, get Firefox. -- MAGNEDETH 03:04, 7 August 2010 (UTC)

:b I heard of viruses on it, but I use it occasionally on the Apple that we also have. ^ht14 03:06, 7 August 2010 (UTC)

i think you mean the opposite. FF is one of the safest browsers to use. its IE that has security holes out the wazoo and is highly UN-recommended. -- MAGNEDETH 03:08, 7 August 2010 (UTC)

Fair enough, but...

...they're all on Natu's page as well as the rest of the Pokémon who had different sprites (Meowth, Oddish, Hitmonlee, Ninetales, Primeape, Krabby, and Registeel, but oddly not on Muk's page), so I just thought it would be appropriate to fill that in on those 4 pages as well. But meh, I'm psychotic anyway. XD —βetA ZerØ 22:34, 7 August 2010 (UTC)

Wait, nevermind - they're only listed on Registeel. Also, only Muk's and Oddish's pages include Krabby in the other list. Strange. —βetA ZerØ 22:35, 7 August 2010 (UTC)

i understand where your coming from, but i was just discussing this with evkl yesterday about this, and being that both of us like trivia, but not excessive bits of it, we figured it would be easier to set a cap of 5 Pokemon. if 5 Pokemon have some commonalities, then its not super notable. some trivia may be 'grandfathered' in, but that may also be removed at some point. we gotta crack down on a lot of trivia, some sections are pretty out of hand, this is just one step. -- MAGNEDETH 22:37, 7 August 2010 (UTC)

Good point...so would it be worth it to eliminate the entire list from everyone's pages? —βetA ZerØ 22:38, 7 August 2010 (UTC)

yea, id say so. -- MAGNEDETH 22:39, 7 August 2010 (UTC)

You can do that then, I'd rather stay out of the whole thing now. XD

Although is there a single "master" place we could put it, just to keep it, but in one spot? —βetA ZerØ 22:42, 7 August 2010 (UTC)

well, if you want me to handle it, then ill just think about it and do it later. also, yea, preview button. -- MAGNEDETH 22:43, 7 August 2010 (UTC)

Meh, it was your idea and I only messed it up. And don't worry, I'm definitely more careful most of the time. I just tend to get lazy on talk pages XP —βetA ZerØ 22:48, 7 August 2010 (UTC)

Sockpuppet?

Michealdsuarez seems like a sockpuppet for Michaeldsuarez. ~~ Scyther Be Awesome! _{Need something?} 00:41, 10 August 2010 (UTC)

Name Table

Hey DETH, sorry to bother you*, but I'll just ask a minor question. Which is more preferable for the name table for places? "マサラタウン" or "マサラタウン Masara Town"? 神奇超龍 07:03, 23 August 2010 (UTC)

"マサラタウン Masara Town" would be preferred, since that's how most other pages have it. —♥ Jello^talk 07:34, 23 August 2010 (UTC)

K, Thank you*.神奇超龍 08:06, 23 August 2010 (UTC)

Generation IV Mystery Gifts

How come on the Generation IV mystery gift items it doesn't have event dates and for the azure flute it says they haven't even had that event. - unsigned comment from Tinytim415 (talk • contribs)

not sure. ive never dealt with the Mystery Gift stuff. -- MAGNEDETH 17:36, 28 August 2010 (UTC)

I'm am 99% positive they have not given out the azure flute in any events so far. Though they have given out a Lv. 100 Arceus before.--Dbeckelheimer6 10:48, 7 September 2010 (UTC)

Swampert

Why'd you get rid of the disambig? Is it because it's Zuzu, not "Ruby's Swampert"? ^ht14 17:59, 6 September 2010 (UTC)

yes. you want Ruby's Swap, you search that. its named Ruru, not Swampert. -- MAGNEDETH 18:00, 6 September 2010 (UTC)

Got it. ^ht14 18:01, 6 September 2010 (UTC)

well, not so much if you wanted to find it, but, the general populous. you know what i mean. -- MAGNEDETH 18:02, 6 September 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, though, for some, they may not know the nickname off the top of the head and recall it only as Swampert. Still, I get the point: go to the Swampert page and look at the "See also" section or something of that sort. ^ht14 18:04, 6 September 2010 (UTC)

one of the largest complaints, as you may know, is redirects, so for a case like this, i think its better to play it very literally. unless it is named the page name, no redirect. -- MAGNEDETH 18:07, 6 September 2010 (UTC)

Alright then; just clarifying. ^ht14 18:22, 6 September 2010 (UTC)

New Project

I think we should add another project. It should be called project translations. It will focus on translating all of the bulbapedia pages into different languages using a online translator, starting with japanese. One problem might be of server stress. Just asking you for admission before starting it.--Dbeckelheimer6 00:03, 7 September 2010 (UTC)

Encyclopædiæ Pokémonis--Cold (talk) 00:08, 7 September 2010 (UTC)

Also, using a machine translation would be really crappy because it comes out pretty garbled. :P We want speakers of the other languages to actually understand it comprehensively XD (such as with Encyclopædiæ Pokémonis, where the articles are written by people who speak those languages) --ZestyCactus 01:36, 7 September 2010 (UTC)

I didn't notice that they already had thranslationson another website.--Dbeckelheimer6 10:46, 7 September 2010 (UTC)

Lampfizz

You remember that user with the Covy crap, right? The user's back as Lampfizzrocket. Please block him. CuboneKing 22:50, 10 September 2010 (UTC)

Never mind, Nate got it. CuboneKing 22:55, 10 September 2010 (UTC)

Help Closing Box

I mad this box for my subpage but I'm having trouble closing it so after it I can write more under it without it being in the box. CAN YOU HELP ME? DoTheWave 22:02, 13 September 2010 (UTC)

You opened three tables and only closed two of them. It also works better if you align it to the right rather than center aligning and setting the margin on the right. Werdnae (talk) 22:17, 13 September 2010 (UTC)

people always forget to close the tables... -- MAGNEDETH 22:25, 13 September 2010 (UTC)

Edit Help

Alright I guess your right I have been lazy towards the manispace, I'll start editing again. But before I do I was wondering when I use the TrainerPoké Template vs. InactivePoké/ActivePoké Template when I'm editing the Pokémon section of the character of the days? DoTheWave 21:54, 14 September 2010 (UTC)

i dont know. i dont usually deal with the CotDs. -- MAGNEDETH 23:19, 14 September 2010 (UTC)

@DoTheWave, generally, you should use the ActivePoké template so long as you have information on it. InactivePoké shows that the article itself is incomplete unless the said Pokémon is actually important enough to have an article of its own. ^ht14 23:48, 14 September 2010 (UTC)

V Generation Pokemon Explosion

Due to me not being able to edit my userspace I am not able to make pre-articles on new Pokemon. what should I due? DoTheWave 21:26, 16 September 2010 (UTC)

you should 'do' nothing. we will handle it. no offense, but this is a pretty hairy time and its best left to some veteran users for the time being. -- MAGNEDETH 21:42, 16 September 2010 (UTC)

Upload Pictures

I'm trying to upload pictures form the recent episodes but for some reason i'm not able too and all the explanation says is your username. Can you help me? DoTheWave 00:39, 29 September 2010 (UTC)

my username? huh. well i know the Archives are locked to non-admins, so, thats the reason. why its just my name im sure is a glitch. i can fix it. -- MAGNEDETH 00:43, 29 September 2010 (UTC)

Well what i wanted to add were pictures of Professor Araragi's starter Pokémon because the ones under her Pokemon section in the mainspace are pictures of the Isshu Starters in the anime, and i wanted the files to be more specific. like i did with Shooti's Tsutarja DoTheWave 00:52, 29 September 2010 (UTC)

i would just hold off on them for now. im sure Nate will unlock the Archives tomorrow now that BP is unlocked. -- MAGNEDETH 00:54, 29 September 2010 (UTC)

Thanks to you and the other admins!

For adding the apparently 155 new species of pokemon for generation 5! --☯ *Ɣℯ№ӎօṫհ* ☯ 19:12, 29 September 2010 (UTC)
