The goal of Encyclopaediae Pokémonis is to be just as international as Pokémon itself, and helping aspiring Pokémon wikis in languages we don't yet have is a great way to help achieve that goal. However, if we don't even know who the possible aspirers for Encyclopaediae Pokémonis's ninth language even are, there's no way any growth can take place. If you speak or understand a language that's currently not represented in Encyclopaediae Pokémonis and happen to find a wiki in that language with aspirations to join Encyclopaediae Pokémonis, then don't hesitate to drop me a line. Remember, an aspirier can't grow if they remain sheltered from the world!

If you understand Brazilian Portuguese, or know someone who does, then the Portuguese arm of Encyclopaediae Pokémonis is in desperate need of your assistance. Many, if not all, of that wiki's articles are in dire need of improvement, be it massive cleanup or even adding some real content to begin with. Their sysops are never around to handle things, and their interwiki bot has done nothing since late September--of 2008. The fact that a trusted member of Encyclopaediae Pokémonis has fallen into such disrepair is disturbing, to say the least. Brazilians do not deserve quality this low. If you can help improve the Portuguese end, then I highly recommend you do so. Today.

thank you

thank you for all the help where can i get thoese things that say i hate mudkip and I am male ect...

The usertags you're seeking can be found in subcategories of Category:User tags. I don't know of any "I hate Mudkip" user tag (the only special user tags involving Mudkip involve whether or not that person licks Mudkips, with "liek" being a corruption of "lick"), so you might want to use {{User Template}} and fill in the details. As for a male usertag, {{User Male}} is what you're looking for. --Shiningpikablu252 20:13, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

so i herd u liek Mudkipz

Man...what the hell are you talking about? First: the "liek" is a mispronunciation of "like". And, "composition of Mudkip scales"? "Narcotic"? "Drug-induced"? Man, "ecstasy"??? Are you getting mad or what?--Haruka uzumaki File:Ani038MS.gif 02:49, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

TCG Redirects

Why are you redirecting to the older articles? As a rule, the newer versions of cards have the correct text to suit their rulings. For instance, Steven's Advice reads that the card cannot be played if the player has MORE THAN SEVEN cards in their hand, while the Power Keepers version reads that the card cannot be played if the player has SEVEN OR MORE cards in their hand. -File:Spr 3e 186.gifPolitoed666File:Spr 3e 186.gif

Ask TTEchidna. --Shiningpikablu252 21:42, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

My opinion is that the card should redirect to the oldest release, but have both the original text as well as the newer texts. It'd be on the TCG main page that "cards are played according to the most recent version". TTEchidna 00:08, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

Typless Moves?

Are they really? I've beaten all of Mystery Dungeon and never noticed that. -File:Spr 3e 186.gifPolitoed666File:Spr 3e 186.gif

Yep, Mystery Dungeon's special attacks all lack a type. Be they the dummied out Excavate and Vertical Cut from PMD1, the PMD1-only Horizontal Cut, the PMD2-only Wide Slash, or Vacuum-Cut available in both PMD1 and PMD2, moves made specifically for a Mystery Dungeon game lack types. --Shiningpikablu252 23:41, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

Hey, um

You have an email or AIM or something? I need to contact you. TTEchidna 00:10, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, I don't do instant messenger, and I don't reveal my e-mail address to the public. --Shiningpikablu252 00:13, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

Well, I'm not exactly "the public"... I dunno, drop me a line if you can: [email protected]. TTEchidna 23:50, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

Deck

Since you know a lot about the TCG, please rate my Ampha-Gon δ Card Machine deck. --Shiny Noctowl^{Talk | Contribs}File:Ani164MS.gif 01:52, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, that's not my area of expertise. --Shiningpikablu252 16:31, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

Card Lists

Should we include EX cards in the lists? Blastoise EX is missing from Blastoise. -File:Spr 3e 186.gifPolitoed666File:Spr 3e 186.gif

No it's not. My bad. -File:Spr 3e 186.gifPolitoed666File:Spr 3e 186.gif

Don't worry. It wasn't exactly obvious right away. Such is the nature of that kind of pages. --Shiningpikablu252 02:01, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

re modified format

sorry sir i do not know much about what was before E-on (2003-2004) so yeh. ~jason 3.26am oct 21st 07.

Did I do this right?

Celebi. It's my first time. -File:Spr 3e 186.gifPolitoed666File:Spr 3e 186.gif

Not bad for a first try...--Shiningpikablu252 00:42, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

TCG Card Articles

The card text on the cards reads "Celebi," not "this Pokémon." Why should it read that way under "card text," when that isn't the actual card text? I'm not trying to give you a hard time, but I'm curious. -File:Spr 3e 186.gifPolitoed666File:Spr 3e 186.gif

It's something in the TCG called the self-referencing rule. Whenever an effect mentions itself and only itself, it's considered a self-refernece. Self-references are treated as if they read "this Pokémon" for purposes such as Clefable's Metronome and other effects that copy attacks/effects.

Note that not every occurence of a Pokémon's name is a self-reference--for example, Nidoran♀'s Call for Family attack would look awkward if the occurence of Nidoran♀ in the attack effect were to be treated as a self-reference. As you know, there is no card actually titled "this Pokémon", and as such, it's not treated as a self-reference. Stuff in this fashion does not even use the TT template.

Finally, you need two vertical pipes to use the TT template properly. The displayed text goes after the first pipe and before the second, while the hidden text shown by rolling over goes after the second pipe. For example, {{tt|Celebi|this Pokémon}} would display as Celebi. Leaving out the second pipe displays a {{{2}}} when rolling over it. --Shiningpikablu252 21:14, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

Ah. Have you corrected that on the Crobat page, yet? -File:Spr 3e 186.gifPolitoed666File:Spr 3e 186.gif
