Welcome

Welcome to Bulbapedia, DocDoak!

As a new user, you may wish to learn a few things that will be useful in your editing:

  • For a basic overview of wiki code, see this page.
  • The manual of style is very important. Make sure to read it. It outlines all official policies of Bulbapedia.
  • The word Pokémon is spelled with a capital P and an accented é. The P, of course, is accessed easily by holding Shift and pressing the P key, while the é can be accessed using Alt + 130 or Alt + 0233 on a Windows computer, and Option + e, then e again on a Mac. Otherwise, you can click it in the character palette below the editbox.
  • The word Poké Ball is spelled as two words. The "Poké" part is identical to the four beginning letters in "Pokémon"; "Ball" is spelled with a captial B (which is, again, accessed by holding Shift and pressing the B key). The spelling "Pokéball" arises frequently, but is incorrect.
  • The word "you" and all forms of it should not be used on encyclopedic pages unless it is a quote from Pokémon media. Bulbapedia is an encyclopedia, not a walkthrough.
  • On talk pages, please sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).
  • The use of link templates is official policy. For an explanation on their use, see the page on shortlinks.
  • If you happen to spot a vandal in the recent changes that has not been dealt with, please see this page for how to deal with it.
  • A list of pages that are linked to, but have not been created, can be found at this page. A list of short articles that may require more information can be found here, while a list of articles that need improvement can be found here.
  • If you want to make a page about a character you made up, please create it at User:DocDoak/(name), not merely (name). Bulbapedia's main namespace is reserved for actual, official Pokémon, items, characters, and locations. Also, please try to make sure that subpages are not categorized by templates used within.
  • A list of the admins that you can contact in case of a problem, can be found here.

Thank you, and have a good time editing here! TESHIGIGAS 16:33, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

DP069 Toxicroak

The Toxicroak in that episode is indeed the alternate-coloration. Check it against the game sprites. Please don't make threats to keep reverting the article until we agree that it is NOT alternate-colored, as there is no solid proof that the anime's treating that color of Toxicroak as the normal color. --Shiningpikablu252 18:11, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

I know how you feel and I also want to add that it's just speculation on the shiny Toxicroak but don't keep editing the pages again and again. It's going to get you nowhere. It's better to discuss it in the talk page. JmathTalk 19:20, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

Hey, I also saw the episode and I also have a feeling it's not shiny. I am just saying if you keep editing, it will just keep getting undone and no one is going to like you. This has happened to other users in the past. I am just bringing this to your information. I never told you not to edit at all. JmathTalk 19:44, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

Userpages

Please don't edit other people's userpages for no reason. Especially if you're trying to leave comments that are better off on user talk pages. --Shiningpikablu252 18:18, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

Time to leave, Dr. Doak.

You give me the Door Decoder, and I'll give you a helpful piece of advice; use the Preview button. It's right next to the Save page button. Not using the preview button may cause the alarm to activate. -- MAGNEDETH 21:45, 2 May 2011 (UTC)
