You can always ask for help by contacting a staff member. Please preview your edits before saving them; this helps you double-check your changes and reduces the need for repeated minor edits. Use talk pages to discuss changes and resolve editing disputes. Creating a userpage is allowed after you've added to the encyclopedia; for more details, see the userspace policy.

Thank you, and have a good time editing here!   GrammarFreak01 (talk) 00:24, 24 November 2020 (UTC)

Edit warring

Please do not continually revert other users, it falls under edit warring and is a blockable offense. If you've asked someone why they've reverted you, you should wait for their response rather than revert their edits anyway, as that shows impatience. Manga is not my area, but Ataro must have a reason for reverting you, so wait for his response rather than continually reverting anyone that undoes your edit. Thank you.--ForceFire 16:11, 31 December 2020 (UTC)

Excessive editing

You've been editing your post at Ataro's talk page for numerous times in a very short span of time.

1) You're not supposed to edit posted talk page posts, unless if it's to correct a typo or alike.

2) If you want to add something to a post you've already made, do not edit the earlier post but make a new one.

3) Most importantly, use the preview button. That way, you'll avoid making mistakes that need fixing.

Thank you. --FinnishPokéFan92 (talk) 01:18, 1 January 2021 (UTC)

Timeline for Pokémon Adventures

Hello! I was wondering what your source was for the time between the Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire and Diamond & Pearl chapters being at most two years. ^ht14 04:03, 2 January 2021 (UTC)

Dia and Pearl watched the comedy show live 8 years before the Diamond & Pearl chapter, when they were 4. In the Mt. Silver training chapter (which is immediately after the Gold, Silver & Crystal chapter), the exact same show is on TV, meaning DP is at most 8 years later. GSC is 3 years after the Red, Green & Blue chapter, so DP is at most 11 years after RGB. The Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire chapter is set 9 years after RGB.

Pocket Monsters Encyclopedia

Hi! You removed this line from Pocket Monsters Encyclopedia.

• The introduction states that Pokémon Red and Green take place in 1996, the same year the games were released.

I will be adding it back in, as it is listed on page 8 within the book's introduction. (Here is a link to a video that translated the text too, if you can't read Japanese). ^Maverick_Nate 14:14, 5 July 2023 (UTC)

That's misinformation, I checked the Japanese book (https://archive.org/details/pocket-monsters-encyclopedia-96) and it says 150 Pokémon haver been registered as of 1996, not that the games take place in 1996. Ultra Ray (talk) 14:50, 5 July 2023 (UTC)

An argument can be made that these 150 Pokemon were discovered by the player for Professor Oak. Moltres's entry says that there's uncertainty if it even exists, but later in Bill's lecture he claims to own one. Also, at the very end of this lecture the 151st Pokemon gets discovered, which is probably Mew that also gets to be discovered in the games (by Oak's team at least, Fuji knew about it before, but it was a secret, Mewtwo is said to be an urban legend).--Rocket Grunt 18:26, 5 July 2023 (UTC)

I don't think you can edit pages claiming it's a speculation without resolving this issue.--Rocket Grunt 14:04, 8 July 2023 (UTC)

It literally is speculation, what's left to resolve? By the way, an argument can be made that Looker's codename during his backstory with Anabel means that the gap between generations II/IV and V is no more than 6 years. Anyway, Bulbapedia's character profiles should stick to the facts. Ultra Ray (talk) 15:03, 8 July 2023 (UTC)

Why do you think the player collects Pokemon for Pokedex if Professor Oak have data for all Pokemon already? In case for Looker, he could just not use his codename with Sinnoh player. Secret agents can use different names for different mission to not get exposed.--Rocket Grunt 15:44, 8 July 2023 (UTC)

To collect data on the already discovered Pokémon, which fits with the mechanics of getting a National Pokédex (and with the lack of it). Again, character profiles should stick to the facts. Ultra Ray (talk) 22:02, 9 July 2023 (UTC)

When the player has 150 Pokemon in their Pokedex, Professor Oak says "Your Pokédex is entirely complete Congratulations!". In the book, 151st Pokemon is being discovered. That means the games can't be happening after 1996.--Rocket Grunt 22:51, 9 July 2023 (UTC)

Professors still say your Pokédex is complete without mythicals in the later generations, and the Bill part of that lecture clearly breaks the fourth wall. Ultra Ray (talk) 10:39, 13 July 2023 (UTC)
