Welcome to Bulbapedia, Matsamota4510!

By creating your account you are now able to edit pages, join discussions, and expand the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia. Before you jump in, here are some ground rules:

  • Be nice to everyone. It's in the code of conduct.
  • Make good edits. Preview them before you save to make sure they're perfect the first time around.
  • Use wikicode and link templates when adding content to a page.
  • Use proper grammar and spelling, and read the manual of style.
  • You can't create a userpage until you've added to the encyclopedia. It's a privilege. See the userspace policy.
  • Use talk pages to resolve editing disputes. Don't "edit war," or constantly re-edit/undo the same thing on a page.
  • If you have a question about something, be proactive. Take a look at our FAQ. If you're still stuck, ask for help. The staff won't bite.
  • Sign all talk page posts with four tildes (~~~~). This will turn into your name and the time you wrote the comment.
  • For more handy links, see the welcome portal.
Thank you, and have a good time editing here!

The Preview Button

Instead of editing a page several times in a row, try using the preview button to make sure your edit looks the way you want it to. It's right next to the Save Page button. Please try it out, so as not to clog up the Recent Changes. Also, if you want to edit multiple sections of the page, make sure that you click "edit this page" at the top of the page rather than editing it by section. Thanks! --Charlietalk | edits』 22:24, 7 August 2014 (UTC)

Gender Pronouns

When writing about anime characters's Pokémon, please don't use the words he or she unless the gender for that species is confirmed. Yes, Hawlucha might seem to be male, but it has not been confirmed, so please don't put "he" until confirmed. And please make all of your changes at once instead of making multiple edits. Thanks! --リック EO (Open for discussion) 08:03, 8 August 2014 (UTC)

Link Templates

Be sure to use link templates whenever necessary. For example, you would type {{p|Bulbasaur}} instead of [[Bulbasaur]]. The difference being that the former links directly to the Pokémon's article whilst the latter links to a redirect. To find out more about link templates, go here. One more thing, you only need to italicize dub titles. So XY038 should not be italicized as there is no dub title.--ForceFire 09:40, 8 August 2014 (UTC)
