Hisui Pokémon Dream World Art
Alright. I would like to make better verisons of the Global Link Art for most of the Hisuian Pokémon. The main ones I want to improve are https://archives.bulbagarden.net/wiki/File:903Sneasler_Dream.png, https://archives.bulbagarden.net/wiki/File:904Overqwil_Dream.png, https://archives.bulbagarden.net/wiki/File:724Decidueye-Hisui_Dream.png, https://archives.bulbagarden.net/wiki/File:215Sneasel-Hisui_Dream.png, https://archives.bulbagarden.net/wiki/File:211Qwilfish-Hisui_Dream.png, https://archives.bulbagarden.net/wiki/File:628Braviary-Hisui_Dream.png, and https://archives.bulbagarden.net/wiki/File:549Lilligant-Hisui_Drea.png. The problem is that I can't find any higher quality version of these images to crop out anywhere. --AnotherGhostlyFolk (talk) 23:51, 31 July 2024 (UTC)(AnotherGhostlyFolk) 23:12:30 July 31, 2024 (UTC)
Nebby (anime)
Do you think we should move the User:Maverick Nate/Nebby (anime) into a separate page? Now that I gave it the information it needed, and I think it deserves a mainspace. Seabiscuit2020 (talk) 20:05, 31 August 2024 (UTC)(Seabiscuit2020) 20:05:45 August 31, 2024 (UTC)
Megumi Hayashibara voicing Iono's Bellibolt
Hi, my source for Megumi Hayashibara voicing Iono's Bellibolt are the credits from HZ050 (precisely at 23:25). --Netto-kun Talk • Contribs 21:05, 14 September 2024 (UTC)
- Having checked the credits myself for around the time you've given, I can confirm that this is correct so can accept it. For future reference when providing a VA for a character or Pokemon, could you provide a source.--BigDocFan, Junior Admin Bulbapedia (talk) 21:35, 14 September 2024 (UTC)
VA Sourcing
Hello, this is my first time editing and I am probably replying wrong. Concerning my revoked edit for Professor Cozmo, for voice actors we have to get direct confirmation from them directly? I see on the Works Cited page for a respective voice actor it lists sites such as his (Kyle Hebert's) official giving a link to IMDB on the roles he's been part of? Thank you for clarifying. Remotecat25 (talk) 18:46, 2 October 2024 (UTC)
- IMDB is a site that anyone can edit so its reliability isn't 100%, what Bulbapedia requires is a reliable source which can be the VA themselves or the voice director, might be worth having a look at our Voice actor sourcing policy about this.--BigDocFan, Junior Admin Bulbapedia (talk) 18:50, 2 October 2024 (UTC)

Ludlow's Quagsire
Hi if you have the time can you look over and see if Ludlow's Quagsire is ready for the main page because it had an important role in the current episode.BlueSparkles (talk) 15:59, 13 Decemeber 2024 (UTC)
Reply
I'll be happy to help with Coral's Scream Tail. Also, I want to ask you did you look over Ludlow's Quagsire to see if it's ready for main space. BlueSparkles (talk) 12:12, 17 January 2025 (UTC)
RE:Onipurin
Sure thing. Also, didn't even know she got a Scream Tail until reading that. But hey, I called it on the Discord page! lol HygorBH (talk) 15:13, 17 January 2025 (UTC)
- Turns out CuteSylveon already created a page so feel free to focus on their page, I believe in the saying first come, first serve and Sylveon got there first.--BigDocFan, Junior Admin Bulbapedia (talk) 15:38, 17 January 2025 (UTC)
Regarding SM064
Hey there. I noticed you removed the English title for SM064 on the list of SM episodes. Though it’s true that it never aired in English, the English title is in fact official and comes from Netflix in South Korea. On the episode article’s page I sourced it with this website, which includes a screenshot of the English name and description on Netflix Korea. Is there another reason this title would be unsuitable to list alongside the others? The release date would still say it's unaired so people know there's no English version. Thanks. -Bandee of the Stars (talk) 21:30, 19 January 2025 (UTC)
- This is currently being discussed among the admin team, I might have acted a bit fast in reverting your edit I'll admit. Think I'll wait and see what is agreed, I'll happily re-revert it if they agree it can be added.--BigDocFan, Junior Admin Bulbapedia (talk) 21:31, 19 January 2025 (UTC)
Blizzard and Heavy Slam
Hello! I'm just curious about your edits regarding Blizzard and Heavy Slam, as you added in their respective pages usage by Coral's Scream Tail and a wild Sandy Shocks in HZ080. Were they confirmed anywhere via closed captions or something like that? Or did you add them based on animation? Honestly, I (and it seems that many others too) disagree about Blizzard, since the animation doesn't match every other recent Blizzard (a strong wind with snowballs that may freeze), but I wanted to ask you first before taking any actions. Shinka (talk) 02:39, 28 January 2025 (UTC)
- I might be wrong about Blizzard, I'll admit I'm not 100% confident with that one but if we look at the SV game image for Heavy Slam, it does look like the move Sandy Shocks used.--BigDocFan, Junior Admin Bulbapedia (talk) 11:28, 28 January 2025 (UTC)
- Thanks for your input! In my opinion, I think it's better to remove the Blizzard use, since it doesn't look like Glalie's Blizzard from moments before and Coral refers to it as a scream. If they call it out as Blizzard in future episodes, it can be readded Shinka (talk) 21:01, 28 January 2025 (UTC)
Heath (XY045) va revert
Hi, sorry first time replying so sorry if I'm not doing this right. About the VA credit revert: I found the credits on Pocketmonsters.net and crosschecked on myanimelist.net but understandably both are crowdsourced resources (which I should have thought about before going ahead with the edit - my bad). Is getting direct confirmation from the VA the only way to have reliable information? Teutonic (talk) 17:22, 15 June 2025 (UTC)
- Sadly those sites are edited by fans so aren't considered reliable by Bulbapedia, direct confirmation is the best source, either from the actor themselves or the voice or assistant voice director, in the case of Heath, Tom Wayland or Lisa Ortiz, sorry to be a pain but this is the policy Bulbapedia goes by.--BigDocFan, Junior Admin Bulbapedia (talk) 17:33, 15 June 2025 (UTC)
You say you know it aired. How do you know? You saying you know is not a reliable source. The sources that were provided are a reliable source. That is why I feel it is necessary to cite sources. Money12123 (talk) 01:35, 7 July 2025 (UTC)

Giovanni’s Kingler
What made it impossible that Giovanni had one Kingler if only one was onscreen? What stopped the one he used vs Gary from being the same one in the cage? Pikmin 3 Wii U 03:09, 22 February 2026 (UTC)
- Before Kingler was shown in a cage, Giovanni had given Team Rocket three Poke Balls, one of which was a Kingler they used to battle Ash with, so he must have had two Kingler, one in the cage, one with Team Rocket.--BigDocFan, Junior Admin Bulbapedia (talk) 03:11, 22 February 2026 (UTC)
Mechanical Zapdos
Hi there! Regarding the mechanical Zapdos in EP017, despite it not being a genuine Pokémon, I'd argue it should still be referenced on the page. All of the other Pokémon that are featured as robots in the episode mention that fact on their pages. You could split hairs about if it counts as Zapdos' "debut," of course, but that's a different question IMO. RattsT (talk) 21:23, 12 March 2026 (UTC)
- Hi, chiming in again because I see that you've removed the examples found on the other Pokémon's pages because you're "not counting a robot as a real one." My issue with this is that none of the pages claimed that the mechs were literal living Pokémon; all of them noted that they were robotic replicas. Should this information not be included anywhere on these pages? If including fantasies where no actual living Pokémon appear is on the table, then I feel these are notable enough for a quick mention on their respective pages. RattsT (talk) 05:21, 13 March 2026 (UTC)
- Per the manual of style: Posters, statues, and other man-made objects depicting Pokémon do not count as appearances. They can get mention on the episode article, but not the individual Pokémon articles as they aren't the actual living Pokémon. Boss fantasies are at least imaginations of living Pokémon, and they tend to involve Pokémon relevant to the plot of the episode.--ForceFire (talk) 06:25, 13 March 2026 (UTC)
- I appreciate the reply! I was unaware of that policy. I can see the rationale behind it, though personally I feel that the role the robots play is grounds for an exception. Regardless, I can move on. Thank you! RattsT (talk) 13:38, 13 March 2026 (UTC)

"Eevee Quest"
In the major events sections of Journeys episodes where Chloe meets an Eeveelution, such encounters are listed as part of an "Eevee Quest", a term that's never seen official use. In addition, Bulbapedia classifies Chloe as a supporting character, not a main character, so should these meetings be removed from the major events? -- FinnishPokéFan92 (talk) 13:55, 31 March 2026 (UTC)
- Thanks for getting in touch Finnish, after talking to my fellow admins, we feel that this is something that is better discussed on Chloe's talk page as her status as a main or major supporting character isn't entirely clear at present.--BigDocFan, Junior Admin Bulbapedia (talk) 15:12, 31 March 2026 (UTC)
- Sounds reasonable. I'll bring it up there. --FinnishPokéFan92 (talk) 15:15, 31 March 2026 (UTC)
