Trainer's Choice

The notes aren't saying that other Pokemon would be better choices, just that other Pokemon would also have a (type) advantage over whatever the Pokemon is in question. As for Nuzleaf, it's still a Grass type going up against a Fire type, so it is still in no way would be an effective choice against Camerupt.--ForceFire 07:17, 22 May 2022 (UTC)

(Replying here in case it’s bulbapedia’s policy to keep conversations in one place like SmashWiki) The Trainer’s Choice is asking for the best choice. Not which one is an effective choice. Therefore, it never really felt like Nuzleaf vs Camerupt is incorrect.

Pikmin3WiiU (talk)

Again, the notes aren't saying that the other effective choices would be better, just that there are other choices that would be an effective choice. And there's no question that Nuzleaf, a Grass type, is weak against Camerupt, a Fire type. And these questions are only taking types matchups to account, not stats or possible moves, because 4kids knew nothing.--ForceFire 10:10, 22 May 2022 (UTC)

Berries / past tense

(Regarding these kinds of edits.) You're right, I didn't realize that it was Generation V which only had the Dream World available to grow Berries. (In virtually all other cases in which the tense is being changed for older generations, my argument stands and makes sense, so I guess that was why, but here, it's truely a thing of the past, and I should've checked.) Thanks for being adamant, and thanks for pointing that out in the edit summaries. Nescientist (talk) 12:31, 19 February 2023 (UTC)

Blue's Vaporeon/Flareon in Yellow

According to this editor back in 2018, they did two separate playthroughs where they lost the first battle and won the second battle, with both playthroughs resulting in a Vaporeon. PokemonMasterJamal3 (talk) 03:25, 5 January 2024 (UTC)

Party template colors

When changing the main color of a party template with two rows of Pokémon (i.e. if the Trainer in question has at least four Pokémon), don't forget to also change the color of the divider template to match. Thank you. --FinnishPokéFan92 (talk) 13:39, 17 August 2024 (UTC)

This occurred again during your edit on Phenac Stadium. Personally, I support the older color scheme, so I feel it should be restored. --FinnishPokéFan92 (talk) 08:32, 20 August 2024 (UTC)

I prefer dark text on light backgrounds and vice versa instead of fark text on dark backgrounds and light text on light backgrounds which is why I like to change them Pikmin 3 Wii U 12:54, 20 August 2024 (UTC)

That is an understandable logic, but I feel that in the case of Cipher Admins, the core of their templates, where almost all of the text is, is colored in a different way that makes the text there easily readable. --FinnishPokéFan92 (talk) 13:36, 20 August 2024 (UTC)

BW022

The reason why I changed "revealed to own" back to "revealed to have obtained" is because we saw Trip starting his journey, so it's a Pokémon that was obtained since then. Trainers who debuted midway through their journeys can have owned the Pokémon they use in their later appearances since before their debut, hence why the wording "revealed to own" fits them better. --FinnishPokéFan92 (talk) 14:11, 29 August 2024 (UTC)

"Revealed to have obtained" implies to me the trainer caught the Pokémon AFTER their last physical appearance. In BW010, Trip is revealed to have caught five new Pokémon, but only Tranquill and Frillish are seen. In BW022, he is seen with a Lampent and in BW031, he is seen with a Timburr and a Vanillite. Maybe he caught them after BW010 but I always feel like he caught them before. Pikmin 3 Wii U 15:03, 29 August 2024 (UTC)

Whether he caught those Pokémon before his first rematch with Ash or after it, we cannot be sure of. Thank you for respecting my opinion though and restoring the older version. --FinnishPokéFan92 (talk) 17:37, 29 August 2024 (UTC)

Kukui's sixth Pokémon

• https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Professor_Kukui_(anime)&diff=4090922&oldid=4080654

There is a section for Kukui's sixth Pokémon because this type of information is on all pages with similar situations, from Professor Birch to Damian. It is not exclusive to Kukui's page, and it would be nice if you talked to someone before removing information that you are not sure why is there.--Hikaru Wazana (talk) 02:23, 18 September 2024 (UTC)

I removed the section on unknown Pokémon because unless a trainer was explictly seen using a Pokémon (or mentioning what they wanted to use like in Like a Meowth to a Flame when an Officer Jenny said she wanted to use her Blastoise before a Nurse Joy stopped her, we cannot tell which Pokémon was going to be used. For all we know, Professor Birch could've been intending to use a Hoenn starter vs Team Rocket in The Right Place and the Right Mime.

And let's say Kukui is seen using a Blastoise, Weavile, Ferrothorn and Exploud in a battle. How do you determine which Pokémon was going to be his sixth in the full battle vs Ash and therefore gets the debut of SM143? Pikmin 3 Wii U 03:38, 18 September 2024 (UTC)

Professor Kukui is in possession of a sixth Pokémon, as its Poké Ball was seen in Fiery Surprises!. However, Tapu Koko slapped its Poké Ball away before it could be sent out, making Kukui's sixth Pokémon unknown.

The text makes no mention of which Pokémon Kukui was going to use, but it serves to make it clear that he had a sixth Pokémon. That's the point of the section. You yourself already gave the answer to why this section is there. The Poke Ball of the respective Pokémon appeared and it was intended to be used in the battle against Ash. POINT. Regardless of whether it appeared or not, Kukui's sixth Pokémon had a bit of a story within the episode.--Hikaru Wazana (talk) 13:34, 18 September 2024 (UTC)

I agree with Hikaru, it was never stated what Pokemon Birch or Kukui were going to use, we only saw their Poke Ball, Jenny specifically stated Blastoise so there is no question about that.--BigDocFan, Junior Admin Bulbapedia (talk) 14:06, 18 September 2024 (UTC)

It feels wrong for me to say the Pokémon "debuted" in the episode when it was never confirmed it was about to debut in the episode. If Kukui or Birch was seen sending out say a Blastoise in a future episode, are you suddenly going to say their Blastoise was about to be used in a battle but they couldn't call it out of its Poké Ball?

Abandoned Ship and Sea Mauville

Under the unreleased materials policy, we at Bulbapedia have decided that we are staying away from covering the Teraleak for the time being. As such, your edits to Abandoned Ship and Sea Mauville have been reverted and hidden. C.Ezra.M (talk | contribs) 17:40, 16 April 2025 (UTC)

Minor edit on Swampert

Hi, I noticed that you marked an edit on the Swampert page as minor despite your edit changing the meaning of the article. Per H:MINOR, please do not mark edits as minor if you have added or removed the content in the page (which you did, as you completely rewrote the second trivia point). --Abkwreu (talk) 23:08, 2 June 2026 (UTC)

Hi. I treat minor edits as ones that don’t really change the bytes of the page much but I have been marking other edits as ones that changed lots of bytes and therefore shouldn’t be marked as minor in the first place so I’llkeep that in mind. Pikmin 3 Wii U 01:22, 3 June 2026 (UTC)

"to own" vs. "to have obtained"

Regarding your edits on BW022 and BW031, I feel the previous wording of "revealed to have obtained" is more accurate in Trip's case than "revealed to own", since we've seen the beginning of Trip's journey, so he's revealed to have obtained those new Pokémon following the beginning his journey. In other words, we know he didn't have them at the beginning of his journey in BW001, which means that he has obtained those Pokémon since then (aka, he's "revealed to have obtained" then since then), not having owned them since before his introduction, which is what the "revealed to own" wording is usually for. I hope I wasn't too confusion with this. Did you understand what I was trying to say? Sorry if I was overly wordy or anything. -- FinnishPokéFan92 (talk) 23:06, 10 June 2026 (UTC)

In BW010 he was known to have caught 5 new Pokèmon so it just sounds like he already had them in his possession and I thought the same applies to Robert's Claydol but "revealed to have obtained" probably makes more sense. Pikmin 3 Wii U 23:56, 10 June 2026 (UTC)

With Robert, you are correct, since we do not know when his Claydol was obtained or whether he already had it before his earlier appearances or not. It's also impossible to tell which five Pokémon Trip had in his possession as of BW010 (aside from the ones seen in the episode, of course), so I'm happy you agree with me. Glad to work with someone as pleasantly understanding and cooperative as you. --FinnishPokéFan92 (talk) 00:21, 11 June 2026 (UTC)
