MY SUBPAGE

When did I give permission to EDIT MY SUBPAGE?! That's right, NEVER!!! --CuboneKing 22:25, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

TTE has the authority to edit anything he wants. MaverickNate 22:36, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
Gee, you'd think that you'd be honored. TTEchidna 22:36, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
Sorry. I am honered, but a bit ticked off that you didn't ask me for permission. I'll go toy around with that fact a bit. --CuboneKing 22:39, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
Either way, you react far too harshly. TTEchidna 22:52, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
Sorry, I lose it sometimes. I've calmed down for now. --CuboneKing 22:54, 18 August 2009 (UTC)


Can

PLease can I edit my userpage...I just want to put in a team for SoulSilver totoRulz 15:06, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

There's enough time to do that before the English releases. TTEchidna 23:09, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

What are we to make of these?

351S351R351H Although rather well made, they're certainly unofficial. They would go well in certain tables though.--MisterE13 23:17, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

Whoa what the...
Officially we can't really use them, since firstly, it never goes into those sprites, and secondly... they're absolutely fanmade. Plus, what tables? TTEchidna 23:19, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

OK! :) Pedraito 23:26, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

They're gone.--MisterE13 15:49, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

New Images

It's Done!!! I finnaly finished with Images of Pokemon's infobox. Like I promised, I put New Images on 150 First Pokemons, Some Pokemons I didn't, Cause the images that already existed were good. Well... If you want find goods Pokemon's Artworks by Ken Sugimori, you should take look in this site: http://pokemon.supercheats.com/pokemon.php?id=25, There are a lot of them. Bye! I hope help this site. Pedraito 00:50, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

Oh man, some of those are even higher res than the ones on the Japanese dex. Are they okay with us using them? TTEchidna 01:31, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

I think that don't have problem, cause They allow images to be copied...If they not wanted they would block copy them. ;) Pedraito 02:35, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

Actually, they are taken from Pokemon.com, which has higher quality all the time than the Japanese one. You just need to extract it from the SWF.--Mew a.k.a. Immewnity was here at 15:26, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

You suck

I don't like you.

Also, did you seriously need the you-know-what sprite for anything on the Pedia, or was it just gonna be in a user template or something? --Darkeiya talk to me! 02:47, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

Are you joking? Don't be dissing the Echidna. He's cool.--Midnight Blue 03:05, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
You're looking for a block. --CuboneKing 03:07, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
He can't block me. I'M INVINCIBLE! --Darkeiya talk to me! 03:08, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
Uh, guys she's kidding. She's his friend. And CK, you can't threaten blocks. --ケンジのガール 03:09, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
I know I can't. I knew this was a joke all along, so I took this to la-la land and threatened a block. Crazy, huh? --CuboneKing 03:11, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
Uh, yeah. --ケンジのガール 03:12, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
This is pointless. --CuboneKing 03:14, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
Dang, I wish I can be like that with my friends. But I was just making sure.--Midnight Blue 03:21, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

Hey about the templates.

Sorry, I'm just not thinking straight right now. I need to stay away from Bulbagarden for a week. So see you in a week.--Midnight Blue 01:59, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

O...kay. That's about the worst reaction I've had to me reminding LT's yet... TTEchidna 02:35, 22 August 2009 (UTC)
Was just checking what you said. What is LT's?--Midnight Blue 02:45, 22 August 2009 (UTC)
Link templates. TTEchidna 03:09, 22 August 2009 (UTC)
Ok, I'm back, Forget everything I said. Hey where can I get an HP bar like yours? I like it.--Midnight Blue 04:09, 22 August 2009 (UTC)
Make it. Learn the code. Go experiment in your sandbox and lurk the MediaWiki metawiki. TTEchidna 04:18, 22 August 2009 (UTC)
Alright thanks.--Midnight Blue 04:19, 22 August 2009 (UTC)
Sorry to bother you, how do I create a Sandbox?--Midnight Blue 04:26, 22 August 2009 (UTC)
Make a new page in your user namespace, like this: User:Midnight Blue/Sandbox.--ForceFire 06:29, 22 August 2009 (UTC)
Thanks, I was thinking it was that way, I was just making sure.--Midnight Blue 06:34, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

Questions about stuff

Hi there. I got some questions about Bulbapedia itself.

1. What happened to Project Overgrow? Never heard of anything on Phase V. 2. Are Pokémon cries going to be implemented anytime soon? Or their implementation is dependent on the current state of Project Overgrow? 3. The prevnexts need to be correctly centered. They're a little moved to the right. 4. What about uploading the soundtracks to the server and make them play (after the visitor/user gives the command to)? Hearing the creepy music while reading the article about Lavender Town can be interesting... =D 5. Are you planning to implement interface changes at the navigation and editing levels like Wikipedia is currently working on? 6. Why are Gen IV Pokémon sprites static? Why aren't the animated versions being used when their respective Crystal and Emerald counterparts are? 6.1. Also, can the white background on Crystal's front sprites be fixed? This also happens with certain back sprites, which could be using the third version counterparts, anyway. 6.2. Since FRLG had different back sprites for some Pokémon like Alakazam and Gyarados, should they be added as well? At least, upload them to the Archive, if they aren't there already. 6.3. I think there should be a better identification of the male and female differences for Gen IV onwards sprites.

That is all for now. =P Pokemon lover 15:27, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

I'm not TTE, but I can answer some of your questions.
  • 3. That's probably a browser specific problem, and not so big deal anyway.
  • 4. That sounds quite impossible due to copyright concerns.
  • 6. Because no one has uploaded them yet. You can do it if you have the patience to copy each frame from the animation and put them together as an image file.
  • 6.1. (partial) Sprites can be transparentified on almost any image editor except MS Paint.
UltimateSephiroth (about me · chat · edits) 15:51, 22 August 2009 (UTC)
1: We don't currently have the software capabilities to implement stage 5.
2: We think that the Pokemon cries are what caused the server to go crazy for about a month, so we're taking it slowly with those.
6.2: Go ahead if you feel like it.
6.3: Such as...?--RexRacer 15:57, 22 August 2009 (UTC)
1. We're trying to get the software, like Rex said.
2. Whenever we get the chance and they don't cause a server explosion.
3. It looks kinda off center, but that's likely an issue with it being 100% of the page width and at least somewhat of an illusion caused by roundycorners.
4. Um, no, absolutely not. It'd be great to do but we kinda don't want Nintendo to kill us-- they do sell the soundtracks for the games, and those songs are on there, so no.
5. I'm not gonna go anywhere near that stuff... not yet at least. If Wikipedia calls it beta, then it's nowhere near ready to be used on Bulba. Wikipedia isn't just the big brother wiki for everyone in that, too... we wait for the stable release of new versions of MediaWiki as well, while Wikipedia goes on and uses new versions even in their alpha stages. If this new interface is part of a future iteration of MediaWiki, then it will come in time.
6. We're not making all the gamesprites gifs because they have crappy colorspace and can't be resized well, so if we were to have them animated, it'd be as pngs. And animated pngs are still somewhat new so there's not many ways to do it. Plus, all the Emerald animations were pretty much assembled by someone, rather than ripped from the game directly. So if you wanna try it... go ahead.
6.1. Get GIMP or Photoshop and get rid of it-- just make sure that you don't accidentally make parts of the Pokémon itself transparent, like what someone did on Mewtwo.
6.2. We're going to have to get a list of Pokémon whose backsprites differ between same-generation games so we can devise a system for those filenames. Then we'll figure out how to put them in the template.
6.3. I don't really know how we could do it... it's on the Pokémon's page under gender differences... if a person can't notice it on the sprites just by looking at them, they should open the two images in different tabs and scroll between. TTEchidna 20:32, 22 August 2009 (UTC)
I hope I'm not too late to this party. There's a whole article full of gender differences right here. All the sprites, of course, are used on the Pokémon's page and you can see them there too. —darklordtrom 04:58, 23 August 2009 (UTC)
Sorry for the late response but here it goes.
  • 1. OK, if it's due to issues with resources, then it's more than reasonable.
  • 2. So the cries are the cause of all those problems with the servers. But are those server-specific issues that could be solved by switching to a more capable server?
  • 3. But only Gecko-based browsers support roundy corners for now. So the others (including for crappy IE, but that one is to be ignored) will show straight corners and that still makes the prevnexts off-centered.
  • 4. Well, even though it's only NoJ who sells the soundtracks, they would likely found Bulbapedia and put a lawsuit on you. Anyway, it's still dangerous to do such risky implementation, especially since either NoA or NoE can put the hands here by themselves. Thus, you are right.
  • 5. Wikipedia uses alpha stuff? O_O Then don't put on here definitely, specially without knowing if it's part of MediaWiki.
  • 6. But is the reason for not implementing APNGs the fact it's still new or because of IE and its complete disrespect for web standards? If it's due to the latter, then stop supporting IE already. Don't make the site useless for its users but put the advanced features that any web standards compliant browser supports.
  • 6.1. I might try it so they may appear in the future.
  • 6.2. It's more complicated than it seems though. I don't know how to put them in the template without distorting it.
  • 6.3. What about a blue background for males and pink background for females? Or put the gender symbols in their respective places. Pokemon lover 15:00, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

I think you can do this, at least bring it up on the forums...

... I would, except what I want to bring up is the problem: Wrong username or password. You have used up your failed login quota! Please wait 15 minutes before trying again. Don't forget that the password is case sensitive. Forgotten your password? Click here!

... however, this was both my first login and was all correct. This is happening in all my browsers. I cleared my cookies, cache, and everything.--Mew a.k.a. Immewnity was here at 15:31, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

I got the exactly same thing when I tried to login earlier today to BMGf. Though you can get there if you have checked the "Remember Me?" box, as I had done on another computer. UltimateSephiroth (about me · chat · edits) 15:45, 22 August 2009 (UTC)
Still no.--Mew a.k.a. Immewnity was here at 15:57, 22 August 2009 (UTC)
Something probably broke. I'll see what I can do to get it addressed. TTEchidna 20:33, 22 August 2009 (UTC)
the forums got upgraded and there was a minor file that seemily escaped the clutches of the upgrade causing forum log-in problems. it has been fixed now and there shouldnt be anymore problems. -- MAGNEDETH 05:19, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

Hi again! ;)

Hello there I'm back! xD, well, first of all I wanted to tell you what I could do last time we talked, about that mails that never got to you! Anyway, I only wanted to ask you about how to import japanese pokemon games. You said you're going to have SoulSilver as soon as it is out in Japan! I want one too! LOL, so that's what I wanted to ask you, but you never got my mail, and I didn't want to bother you here, because this space isn't here like for chatting :D... so.. how? Could you tell me? I was on vacacion on California last month, so I wanted you to tell me before or while I was there, so I could do whatever I needed to do probably there, since I live in Mexico City and maybe I won't be able to ask for my game here, but you didn't tell me, because you didn't know I asked you! LOL. So, either way, if I can't get them here my cousins that live there, in Huntington Beach could help me out with this :). Please? How? Thanks!!... Sorry to bother you over here! :D YukitoOoO 03:15, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

Import sites, like Play-Asia, are the best place to import the game from. TTEchidna 04:45, 23 August 2009 (UTC)
I hope you don't get mad but, someone had juuuuuust told me about the Play-Asia site LOL I didn't know it existed! But thanks anyway :) Sorry agian ha (Ooops?)YukitoOoO 05:15, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

Bout Something thats Important....

TTE please help me... my Bulbawiki Forum was hacked and its IP address was: 75.126.149.175.. If you can find that guy... please notify me... i remembered opening it last night and then when i try to open it five times with the same Username and Password it didn't open, then back at my Yahoo Mail , Mukashi has sent me a mail that says that a user tried to open my account and it tried 5 times to open it .. another mail arrived saying that my Username and Password where GIO and uyar7xz9... but i realized that that's not my password .. i think it was hacked.... "☆AngelGuardian☆" 06:45, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

Calm down, TTE is not here ATM. Once TTE sees this, he'll get to it ASAP.--ForceFire 07:06, 23 August 2009 (UTC)
I love how everyone comes to me now. Anyway, don't freak out. It was a server error. That IP address is the IP address of Bulbagarden itself, "Mukashi" is better known as Mr. Bossman Archaic. We were updating the forum software and one file got hung up and blew everyone out of it... as you can see from everyone assuming that I was the best person to talk to about this... somehow.
So don't freak. Log in normally as you would. It's fine now. TTEchidna 07:26, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

Is there

Is there a way to remove the Bulba logo from the top of the page, and change it to something else. You can in Uncyclopedia, and I was wondering if you could on this wiki to. Also, theres a glitch in the Sig expand process. <span class="sigexpand"> . It wouldnt work like it suppose to. If I type in 

 
[[User:ShinyPikachu| <span class="sigexpand"><span style="color:Red;"><big>S</big><span class="sighidden">hiny </span></span>
<span style="color:Blue;"><small>P</small><span class="sighidden"><small>ikachu</small></span></span>]][[User talk:ShinyPikachu
|<span style="color:Black;"><big>'''h'''</big><span class="sighidden">'''ello'''</span>]]

the result is Shiny Pikachuhello

As you can see, it desplays the full signature, instead of making it expandable. If you could fix this glitch, it would be appreciated.

--Thank-you for your time ShinyPika 18:11, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

First answer, that'd be in your CSS. You can change that at User:ShinyPikachu/monobook.css if you want. Second answer, that's because we don't have a span class of "sigexpand" defined. If you get the definition for it for me I can see about getting it put into the definitions of the classes, but currently, no. TTEchidna 19:06, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

2 small questions...

1: I'm interested in donating my spare time to adding party templates to the necessary articles. However, I have no freaking clue how to use them. Could you please help me with that? I have tried several things on the sandbox, but to no avail =/

2: How do I heal your Shaymin? =3 Sidnoea 07:05, 1 September 2009 (UTC)

Wait until we've upgraded them. Then I'll set up directions. Second off, you can't. It faints when I run out of talk space. TTEchidna 07:08, 1 September 2009 (UTC)


Okay then. Thanks. Sidnoea 19:19, 1 September 2009 (UTC)

Archives Cleanup Month ???

Hey TT, i have noticed (On Bulbagarden Archieves) that you have declared July as Archieve Cleanup month. I think it should be removed or edited now because July even august is over now and september has been started, so i think you should edit it now. I am just giving you a suggestion. --♫♪Adyniz♪♫ 12:11, 1 September 2009 (UTC)

No, it's still July. Archives aren't clean yet. TTEchidna 18:51, 1 September 2009 (UTC)
Okay.--♫♪Adyniz♪♫ 13:28, 2 September 2009 (UTC)

{{TMchart}}

Requestion: Template talk:TMchart#PBR. - unsigned comment from LaprasBoi (talk • contribs)

Proposed evobox edit

I find myself frequently trying to click on the sprite of the Pokémon, not the name... So I propose you change every line that reads like [[Image:{{{1|001}}}.png]] to instead read as such: [[Image:{{{1|001}}}.png|link={{{2|Bulbasaur}}}]]

So instead of:001.png

We would get:001.png


i.e. clicking the Bulbasaur sprite will lead us directly to the Bulbasaur page. Pages already including the evobox would not need to be changed, because '2' is defined as the name of the Pokémon, and, because I used 'link=2', that means the pages would already have the correct value defined for the image link to work.

What do you think of this? Marluxia.Kyoshu 15:14, 4 September 2009 (UTC) (Template talk:evobox/2 Marluxia.Kyoshu 15:18, 4 September 2009 (UTC))

I'll put it in next chance I get. By the way, the link would be to Bulbasaur (Pokémon). TTEchidna 23:57, 4 September 2009 (UTC)
So yeah you would need [[Image:{{{1|001}}}.png|link={{{2|Bulbasaur}}}_(Pokémon)]] I appreciate it :3 Marluxia.Kyoshu 23:26, 5 September 2009 (UTC)

Help

I want to change my page [1] from Sprites I've Uploaded to Images I've Uploaded. Is there any way I can change the title, or do I have to make a new page?--I'm Pokélova(Talk to me) 13:30, 5 September 2009 (UTC)

Click the "Move" tab to scoot the page to a new title. Just do us a favor and mark the old page for deletion when you do that (since moving will turn the old title into a needless redirect). -- Jïörüjï Ðērākō.>.cнаt^ 19:10, 5 September 2009 (UTC)
It was already moved earlier, so don't worry about it any more. R.A. Hunter Blade 19:51, 5 September 2009 (UTC)

Hey can I ask you a question?

My cousin that lives with me created a account on here, is that ok b/c someone told me that two accounts with the same I.P. address is not allowed.--Midnight Blue 22:51, 6 September 2009 (UTC)

That's fine. Two different people with two different accounts is ok. Thanks for letting us know about it. (TTE; account in question is Blue Fire). —darklordtrom 23:17, 6 September 2009 (UTC)

Need some help

A new source came in on the talk page for the new Johto numbering and I would like your opinion on the source, I already put down details where the source of the information can be located but it does contain some new numbering details which can be truly verified such as the new dex # for Sentret. -Tyler53841 05:01, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

Oh really? Pix? TTEchidna 05:01, 7 September 2009 (UTC)
A video link that is posted on the Johto Dex talk page. I also posted a comment there that has the details of where in the video to look since I am usually very through about this stuff in terms of sourcing. -Tyler53841 05:14, 7 September 2009 (UTC)
Do they fall at the same place they did in the original Johto Dex, being that their numbers are all lower than Yanma's? TTEchidna 05:18, 7 September 2009 (UTC)
Let's see here after going over the video link at [2] again which starts after 7:00 despite having trouble dealing with the small pictures

17 and 19 or Rattatta and Sentret no change from original numbering

24 Caterpie no change either (though picture takes some work to make out)

34 and 37 Geodude and Zubat no change

so it looks like there are no new changes to their original dex numbers and it also confirms Mareep as #53 -Tyler53841 05:37, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

Good. As predicted. It's good then. TTEchidna 05:40, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

GSC beta Safari Zone

Hope ya don't mind but I uploaded a new pic of the map. The new one's here. As for the source, see this post on the Serebii forums. Pokemon lover 18:06, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

Considering that it's the map itself and anyone could rip it, sure. But there's a better way to link images without displaying them on pages. TTEchidna 20:53, 7 September 2009 (UTC)
I know that but I intentionally linked the image to its page so you could verify if everything was uploaded correctly. ;-) Pokemon lover 21:51, 7 September 2009 (UTC)
Always could use a:File:BetaSafariZoneGSC.png... TTEchidna 22:18, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

This

Do you think its possible? Like to have Spinda sprites change to a random, yet specific PV when the page is loaded?--MisterE13 00:54, 8 September 2009 (UTC)

More clearly, could we set it to load a random, though defined, PV then generate R/S/FR/LG, E and DP/Pt Spinda sprites?--MisterE13 22:35, 10 September 2009 (UTC)

About Japanese Crystal

375087_20177_front.jpg

It does say version on the cover. バージョン means version. The Japanese article does not have that. Sorry I just wanted to make a point. And I don't recall seeing that word on any other covers. Except in English on the back of Japanese Gold and Silver.--Midnight Blue 02:39, 8 September 2009 (UTC)

I was doubtful about this as well but actually concluded that "Version" is there. They say it in the commercial too, which can be watched here. And you say that the term is in English on the back cover of the Japanese GS? Sorry to ask but can you prove it or cite a reference that contains a picture of the games' back cover? Pokemon lover 14:38, 8 September 2009 (UTC)
Hrm. I point mostly to the fact that Crystal was the first game to use katakana, rather than kanji, for its version name, not counting Yellow (赤/緑/青 and 金/銀, vs ピカチュウ and クリスタル). After Crystal Japan moved to the logo style they have now (and still use as of HGSS). That's the issue.
However, if it is ポケットモンスタークリスタルバージョン on the box... it's hard to argue. TTEchidna 21:44, 8 September 2009 (UTC)
Thank you. I actually find it interesting.--Midnight Blue 23:35, 8 September 2009 (UTC)

Hey TTE

See {{Side game}}, the talk page anyway. I need someone to fix the curved edges for this template. ht14 19:53, 8 September 2009 (UTC)

Also {{HeldItems}} regarding the Frontier parser which I recently added. The star (*) isn't working out for me, since I have to add it to re1, rse1, and se1... is this something you could help me with? - unsigned comment from ht14 (talk • contribs)
I don't touch side game. I barely play those. TTEchidna 22:54, 8 September 2009 (UTC)

Movie 12 name

Please tell me that Arceus and the Jewel of Life has not been confirmed as the actual title name, as I saw that some links are being changed. D: –MasterKenobi 00:27, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

It is confirmed see the Pokemon.com website --☆Coolピカチュウ! 00:29, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

Template:Availability

You didn't seem to get around to amending the gen4ex parameter. In case you're more out of it than I feel right now, required fields will be "hgss" (for hgss only), "dppt" (for dppt only; not that I've used this one yet so feel free to just call dpp if you want), "heartgold" (for, um, heartgold only), and "soulsilver" (for that other game only). You may also want to consider adjusting the pal park one ("pal") as to "unshade" the HGSS things. It could, potentially, become deprecated as all legends can now be caught within Generation IV. Up to you, O Bossman. Cheers. —darklordtrom 10:55, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

Actually, now that I think about it the existing "pal" parameter works just as the intended "hgss". Although that would be terribly, terribly lazy, wouldn't it... —darklordtrom 11:00, 9 September 2009 (UTC)
Like with FRLG, if it can only be found in one of the games...
gen4ex=hgss|
hgssex=heartgold|
for example. Same was done with Slowpoke:
gen3ex=frlg|
frlgex=leafgreen|
TTEchidna 21:26, 9 September 2009 (UTC)
Fantastic. Didn't see that frlgex part. —darklordtrom 21:29, 9 September 2009 (UTC)
Besides. The gen3ex and gen4ex only work on the original pair. Emerald and Platinum control their own things. TTEchidna 21:33, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

Japanese GS back cover

Midnight Blue showed me the back cover of the Japanese Silver and "Silver Version" can be read there in plain English. ;-)

I want to add it to the GS article but I don't know if there's something else that relates to this, other than the katakana for バージョン ba-jyon (version) being there. Pokemon lover 12:43, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

Huh. Interesting. I guess they took a page from our book. TTEchidna 15:46, 9 September 2009 (UTC)
OK, if it's only that, I'll just add it to the GS article. Of course, if there's something relevant missing, it should be put in to complete the info. Pokemon lover 09:52, 10 September 2009 (UTC)

Johto gym leaders

Can you please protect their pages so people aren't adding the skeletons of party templates like with Falkner? I think it's great that people are learning the new templates, but it looks kinda crappy with a template that only has Falkner's old sprite, and the names on it. It'd be best if they could be protected until we have all of the sprites, both Pokémon and Leaders, and at least the moves. Abilities can wait for a bit, since those aren't as easy to find out. R.A. Hunter Blade 13:24, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

Done. Every Gym Leader is protected. -Sketch 13:34, 9 September 2009 (UTC)
Thanks. I probably shoulda asked a few days ago, but oh well. R.A. Hunter Blade 13:36, 9 September 2009 (UTC)
Just Johto, or Kanto too? TTEchidna 15:45, 9 September 2009 (UTC)
Hmmm.... sure. All of their templates have already been upgraded to the new standard, so it shouldn't be a problem right now. R.A. Hunter Blade 20:43, 9 September 2009 (UTC)
Good. TTEchidna 20:58, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

...to add moveset info to info Serebii provided regarding movesets of various Pokémon... ht14 21:19, 10 September 2009 (UTC)

Once we get it verified. What "info" is this anyway? TTEchidna 21:22, 10 September 2009 (UTC)
See here. ht14 21:57, 10 September 2009 (UTC)
It appears confirmed. Go ahead, begin adding it. If it's an HGSS-only move, or a different level, remember the parameters. TTEchidna 22:00, 10 September 2009 (UTC)
I don't think the DPPt parameter is made though... ht14 22:06, 10 September 2009 (UTC)
The DP and Pt parameters are... TTEchidna 22:12, 10 September 2009 (UTC)
I still think we need both, unless you're saying we can combine both... see Cyndaquil. ht14 22:14, 10 September 2009 (UTC)
I'll handle it. Ready to go. TTEchidna 22:18, 10 September 2009 (UTC)
Cool. Also needed in {{Moveentry}}... ht14 23:37, 10 September 2009 (UTC)
Finally, we need a PTHGSS one. Sorry... ht14 21:40, 11 September 2009 (UTC)
Fixed, everything is fixed. Yay. TTEchidna 22:25, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

I have (I think) all of HGSS trainer sprites.Can I upload them? Kingofun 00:35, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

Just a qucik question

If I can find nice clear pictures of the back cove of the boxes in Japanese can I upload them into the archives or I was also thinking that maybe not be that important.--Midnight Blue 00:37, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

Would they have a specific use? MaverickNate 00:38, 11 September 2009 (UTC)
I was about to say never mind about it. Just thought it over.--Midnight Blue 00:40, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

HG/SS Sprites

Hi, TTEchidna, please watch this video it reveals all the sprites for the important characters such as the Gold, Katone, the Kanto and Johto Gym Leaders, Elite Four, Lance, Rocket Executives, and Giovanni. Here's the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7xC21_vYJgg This video gives the source that they got ripped from. The user forgot Brock's sprite but he added it another video as a video response. The video of which can be found here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xl0UGRlv2Fg I just wanted to let you know about this in case you didn't. :) --Dialgafan1 01:30, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

we are so far ahead of you youre about to go a lap down. all the Pokemon sprites will uploaded shortly along with the corresponding trainer sprites (if they havnt already been uploaded). we got it covered. -- MAGNEDETH 01:39, 11 September 2009 (UTC)
Yeah. We got 'em all. Don't worry. TTEchidna 03:00, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

Just a question...

When a user (in this case,me)creates a romanization template, is it a minor edit?--シェイミヒカリ58 09:09, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

Minor edits are whatever you mark. Really no one cares either way. TTEchidna 09:12, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

Mariowie 12:19, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

Silver in HGSS = new name(s)

Hey TTE. I was playing HeartGold (on an emulator) and when I got to Prof. Elm's lab after defeating the rival, the policeman from GSC was there once again, asking for the name of the thief (rival). I gave a blank name for him and this is what I got:

silver_hgss.png

So his name is not シルバー Silver anymore but guess what, it's ンウル Soul. So in SS, it must be ハート Heart.

Let's sum it up:

  • the girl is definitely Kotone;
  • Gold seems to be Hibiki now;
  • Silver is Soul (HG)/Heart (SS), which means we have to hack through the games to find his real name. Pokemon lover 12:12, 11 September 2009 (UTC)
And... so? We didn't start calling Blue Green yet. GS still matters. The rival is Silver (game) because Soul (game) is Kotone (game), and the fandom doesn't wanna search for Soul to get Silver. They want Kotone.
Think of it this way. Pearl is fine as he is (though I do somewhat want a revote to possibly change him to Barry (game)) because it matches up with Special, where the character based on him is named Pearl! Silver's Special counterpart? Silver! Gold's? Gold!
In closing we're not moving it. If anything his name's Kamon. TTEchidna 22:16, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

Template:Moveentry

You could remove for Burmy?, Shellos/Gastrodon, and Cherrim as well. No difference besides sprite. ht14 22:10, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

That's the thing, though. They have separate sprites. Except Cherrim. But sprite difference matters. Freakin' Castform doesn't change. TTEchidna 22:17, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

TCG template edits

  1. Great Pokémon (when class=Great): Needs an awesome border like the ones on the cards.
  2. Pokémon LEGEND (when class=Legend): Awesome border, also, evostage needs to be Pokémon LEGEND, not Basic
  3. Trainer cards no longer exists. Now called Goods cards. Infobox needs to reflect that. Goods cards colors are blue, like how stadium are green. Also, we need the image switch from the pokecard infobox to be on the trainer cards too. MaverickNate 03:24, 12 September 2009 (UTC)
TRAINERS!? ARE GONE?! TTEchidna 05:20, 12 September 2009 (UTC)

Apricorn

Hello TTE, I was looking at the Apricorn page and saw that the Poké Ball sprites had been uploaded. I do not know if that is what you want or not so I left it. I did fix the Apricorn Sprite link again, as someone decided to try and put the art up instead of the sprite. –MasterKenobi 05:32, 12 September 2009 (UTC) Good good. TTEchidna 06:12, 12 September 2009 (UTC)

Gym Leader Templates

Next, I was creating some Gym Leader Template with all the correct teams for the new game and their levels. I was wondering if I should just automatically assume that Pokémon with one ability can only have that ability. (ie. Bugsy's Metapod would only have Shed Skin as shed skin is the only ability for metapod) Also, what colours would you prefer for the Blue template: the crystal, gold, and silver colours OR the blue, red, and green colours (current)? (I prefer the latter) We could also go with something else... Thanks!–MasterKenobi 05:32, 12 September 2009 (UTC)

Yes, assume the lone ability. They haven't screwed up abilities to give them illegitimate ones, and moves have been legit since Gen III. Also, for Blue, use... Green color, green color light, and green color dark where you'd use the respective typecolors. If he stays Blue in the US, we'll make it the respective Blue colors. TTEchidna 06:13, 12 September 2009 (UTC)
Fixed Blue's template to green colour, they actually look pretty good, nice choice. Do we still want to change the name to Green for the time being or just keep it simple and leave it Blue? I will work on the Pokémon with the single abilities later today, and start on the Elite Four as I have there Pokémon and levels confirmed. I will make sure to keep you updated. Thanks again TTE.–MasterKenobi 07:12, 12 September 2009 (UTC)
