Ok, isn't the same thing appeared in a brief cameo or made ? And the other section is created when there is a spotlight section. Read my discussion with MAGNEDETH on my talk page and you'll understand.----DJWolfy08:09, 17 March 2012 (UTC)
I changed the wording to "Made a brief cameo appearance" because it flowed better than what you wrote originally. Regarding the "Other" section I didn't see what you were doing at first so that's why I undid you. So I'll take responsibility for that part. --Pokemaster9713:41, 17 March 2012 (UTC)
No need to worry, just wanted to make sure you understand. I sure had a rough time trying to understand what magnedeth was trying to explain me.

You must use FireFox or a similar browser with .ogg support. IE will not work. Also the linkage doesn't really matter, only the browser. I'll put that on there then...--×Rsrdaman×07:42, 21 March 2012 (UTC)
Hmmm, well while it's not a problem for me (I have FireFox as well) it does kinda leave out users with Internet Explorer which could be inconvient for some users/readers. Not saying your idea is bad, but just consider those people stuck with IE. Keep up the good work though~ --Pokemaster9721:09, 21 March 2012 (UTC)

The last time we saw Pignite (BW049) it was a Pignite. When we saw it in BW071, it was an Emboar. She never stated when it evolved, therefore it evolved somewhere between BW050 and BW069. Considering its debut was BW013, that makes it somewhere between 22 and 58 episodes which we know it was a Pignite. It is like this on other pages as well.

The images shows Courtney saying that the Three Fires in Team Magma refer to the three Coordinators within the team, so Mack and Tabitha are also Coordinators.--Mikuri03:55, 7 April 2012 (UTC)
Hmmm, I don't think the type of Coordinator they are referring to are the kind that enter contests correct? If that's correct that means you are correct to say that they are coordinators, but the category link you used links to the wrong type of coordinator. --Pokemaster9704:21, 7 April 2012 (UTC)
Courtney tries to convince Ruby to join Team Magma telling him that the three admins of the team are Coordinators like him. See the following page. Well, that's how I interpreted. If I'm wrong, I apologize. --Mikuri04:28, 7 April 2012 (UTC)

There has been some disagreement that Juanita's Golurk actually used Fly. While I agree that the mere act of flying is not in and of itself a use of the move Fly, I would like to argue that Juanita's Golurk is a different case, because not only does Golurk fly, it uses flight to launch a direct attack on Damon's Reshiram/Zekrom repeatedly that cannot be recognized as any other move. In addition, just before Golurk attacks Reshiram/Zekrom for the first time, Juanita calls out "Golurk, stop <Reshiram/Zekrom>!" which is an attack order that doesn't actually name an attack, which we've seen before. --The Great Butler03:16, 10 April 2012 (UTC)
Yea, I wasn't really involved with that issue so I'll give you BotD. On the Samurai's talk page I was saying be careful not to assume that actions are moves all of the time. This is one of those cases where it would be fair to assume it was the move fly. However, with less appearent moves we can't be 100% sure. --Pokemaster9715:51, 10 April 2012 (UTC)

Moving the battle variations to being capitalized was done because they are officially capitalized. Piping the links to them so that it appears as the lowercase defeats the point of moving them in the first place. So [[Double Battle]] should be used over [[Double Battle|double battle]]. --SnorlaxMonster13:43, 8 May 2012 (UTC)
Some of the sentences had "double battle" with everything lowercase, so I thought that in situations like that we didn't need to capitalize it. So they should be capitalized no matter what? --Pokemaster9715:47, 8 May 2012 (UTC)
Yeah, the idea is that in articles we've had "double battle" etc. not capitalized for way too long, and this move is intended to fix that. Everything should follow this. --SnorlaxMonster11:40, 10 May 2012 (UTC)

Not to be mean or anything, but can you please tell me why you took off the trivia?
I can't find a logical reason for you to delete that I had many sources and it should be counted as a Mitake because,
In the movie they count them siblings but in the games they count them as a couple. - unsigned comment from GoldenSpoink (talk • contribs)
I removed your piece of trivia because it was very unclear what you were trying to say. It read This movie caused controversy if either, Latios or Latias are siblings or a couple. The "if" signifies uncertainty, which makes the trivia become a bit speculative. The trivia started off with a factual stance, but turned in to a more speculative one, which is why I removed it. --Pokemaster9715:46, 18 July 2012 (UTC)

hi i was wondering trip serperior personality of type said very little dealing those oppents he defeat them easily without getting a scratch on him it should said serpeior speed, agile, and strength shown can defeat pokemon with type advantage of being a high level pokemon makes trip serpeior a massive powerhouse like ash sceptial is proven to be strong enough to defeat tobis darkrai with two leaf blades attack. should ash krockrock should be a powerhouse as well being able to use dragon claw to dragonite to hit it hard enough to the wall proving to be stronger then iris dragonite.
Ash snivy should be powerhouse as well having high level moves since it was caught and defeated trip servine and frellfish attacks to defeat Sony took awhile that will make snivy endurance very high on her side with a dermentaion on her side will make her a taugh Pokemon as a powerhouse. Ash unfuzant is a powerhouse Pokemon to stay in in the Personality and characteristics. Also his unfuzant is stronger then skyla swoobat, and swanna as a tranquil it took many attacks to hold on her battle even had a battle against skyla unfuzant so when eloves it proven to better then swanna like her speed and power was even better then swanna to handle unfuzant stregth. Ash pignite is little the same as pignite to be a major powerhouse Pokemon to endure many attacks and defeated his old trainer with two fire attacks and taking hits from poision types moves of homika Pokemon.
Bolder should be ash tank Pokemon in his team taking alot of attacks of oppentents and with sturdy as a ability really prove to be a tank pokemon - unsigned comment from Gian9456 (talk • contribs)
I don't think any of that is needed. This is the anime, we don't use terms like "tank". Also, just because a Pokemon is powerful it doesn't mean that it is a powerhouse. Saying that for all of Ash's Pokemon is redundant and really unnecessary. So I'm going to say no. Also, please sign you comments. Thanks, --Pokemaster9717:07, 1 September 2012 (UTC)
but it makes sense of those pokemon of ash should be a powerhouse and trip serperior is the probably the strongest of his pokemon it will makes sense why he only use one pokemon then the others because trip knows he is a massive powerhouse in his team showing confidence and full dermentation on his side proving his power speed and agile there is full power inside serperior even defeated one or two attacks against his opponents like cilan crutle pignite and the other two trainers he defeated easily with no taking hits of any of his opponents at all. proving to be a massive powerhouse and ash sceptial should be a massive powerhouse defeated tobis darkrai and other popoents as well since caught as a trecko that was the most often use pokemon in the hoonen region to the battle frontier. - unsigned comment from Gian9456 (talk • contribs)

two things:
1. As stated somewhere on Kenji Girl's talk page, the "do not play by ear" thing refers to episodes done by TPCI under Duart (post dp053) and not the 4kids dub as there is no definate way to find out who did the voice. don't believe me? ask KG, she said it herself.
and 2. Annie read the credits and we saw Rebecca Honig in the credits. If i was playing it totally by ear, then I would have put Emily Robbison as the voice of Claire but i didn't as ods are she hasen't voiced too many characters in the series minus Max's Ralts (not the telepathy, but the RAAALTS!) either way though, the best chance you have of proving me wrong is not the fact that there's little data online about it, but rather your best chance would be to somehow contact Honig or Robison to find out either.
again, consult Kenji girl about the play by ear thing, or leave me alone regarding it please. thanks and have a good day.
Christian Woods Azu!10:31, 17 September 2012 (UTC)
If you provided a source in your edit summary, then maybe I wouldn't have reverted your edit. Your edit summary on Clare's article said quote: It's either Rebecca Honnig or Emily Robbison. That gave the impression that it was an assumption. It doesn't matter who did the dubbing work, we still don't assume VAs. I checked KG's page and saw what you were talking about, but it still doesn't change what I said above. Also, please don't tell me to "Leave me alone" about it. It's my job as an administrator to make sure all information being added to articles are correct. I hope you understand my point of view. --Pokemaster9720:19, 17 September 2012 (UTC)
Granted, but let's take a look at it before you do anything else to my edit: The advanced genoration episodes do not state who does what except for Pikachu, and Rebecca Honnig's name does appear in the credits for that episode (according to annie) also i believe she saw Emily Robison on that episode as well, so i came up with that not by mear assumtion but by careful voice analysis. data or no data, i do ask you to leave me alone in order to prevent edit waring. i knwo what i'm saying here, pluss i do have the right to ask you to leave me alone in order to prevent conflict. Christian Woods Azu!16:39, 18 September 2012 (UTC)
I'm not trying to prove that your edit is wrong, I'm trying to tell you how you need source VAs so something like this doesn't happen again. I know good and well not to edit war and one revert is far from an edit war. When someone disagrees with you, the solution isn't to say "leave me alone", you talk about the conflict until it's resolved. Note the 2nd bulled at the bottom of pages when your editing. Please note that all contributions to Bulbapedia may be edited, altered, or removed by other contributors. If you don't want to own up to an edit, don't make it. --Pokemaster9720:24, 18 September 2012 (UTC)
Ok, but how do i source it if it is a 4kids voice actor and no data online is there to prov eit, and the only source i have is Annie reading the credits to me? I mean my gf would never lie to me, i've know her for 14 years. Anyway, in the edit summary, can i put "could not find online data, my source is the credits for the episode, as read by annie." if i can't find online data?
Will do, we're going to look for more characters with unknown English voice actors in the 4kids dub, and then if annie finds the name, i'll put it in. thanks, we'll start on monday when i land bakc at home. Christian Woods Azu!19:23, 20 September 2012 (UTC)

Hi Pokemaster. I'm coming to you regarding the edit I made to the disambiguation page "Unknown" within the past few minutes. I added info regarding Gen. VI's unreleased region name, and I intended to remove it from the page willingly once its name was officially revealed, when the time comes. I just thought that since clicking on the region's name brought me to that disambiguation page, I thought that it would be a lot better if it was even mentioned there, if only temporarily. I know the summary of your edit said "Unnecessary," but I, for one, believe it is necessary until the official name is introduced. Once it becomes outdated, it becomes unnecessary on that disambiguation page, which would then justify itself for being removed from the disambiguation page. I hope you understand my concerns. Have a great day! 〜Pikachu900001:42, 9 January 2013 (UTC)
Hi, I removed your edit because "Unknown" is just a placeholder until the actual name is released. That template is built to automatically link what ever word is put in the field, this time it happened to be unknown. I don't think people would search "Unknown" to try to get to Gen VI's region page. Also, it creates a circle, people will click on the link, get to the disambiguation page, and be linked back to the page they came from. It's not really practical. --Pokemaster9701:54, 9 January 2013 (UTC)

Do you think that there would be someway to make a Template Preview so that when editing a usermade template it doesn't take five edits just to make it work correctly with the #switch{{}} type stuff. -EVsAndIVsaurs(Talk)14:49, 17 February 2013 (UTC)
Other than using the preview button I'm not sure there is a way to test it without editing it several times. You could try the Sandbox, a place specifically designed for testing things of that nature. --Pokemaster9720:11, 17 February 2013 (UTC)
I really don't understand how you're supposed to use that for testing templates, since unless you can make a sandbox/template test/EXAMPLE you would have to delete the rest of the stuff there to actually test a template there. -EVsAndIVsaurs(Talk)01:02, 18 February 2013 (UTC)
I'm having a hard time understanding what you're trying to do here. If you want to see how a template works, you can either use the sandbox (just add a new section at bottom of the page), or you can test it in your userspace. For example if you have a template at "User:IVsaur/TEMPLATE", you can test it on its respective talk page "User talk:IVsaur/TEMPLATE". The staff is a bit more lenient if your editing a template that will be put to use in the mainspace later on, just don't get to excessive with it. --Pokemaster9701:15, 18 February 2013 (UTC)
Basically when I had been editing the User:IVsaur/User Starters I had to edit it multiple times because the #switch{{}} function hadn't been working how I wanted it to and I couldn't see anything except for the default until saving it, so I had to save it see how it looked and then edit again.* -EVsAndIVsaurs(Talk)02:22, 18 February 2013 (UTC)

It was just a place that seemed like a place meant for this kind of stuff...I joined only a few days ago...I wanted to make sure I'd get a userpage. Why? Because Pokémon has been my life since 2008. I even have a Pikachu from Barnes & Noble that I've used as a teddy bear lately. He comforts me. He has been my comfort item. Like a blanket you see cartoon kids snuggling with. It matters. This place...it means a lot. I want to show that I'm not here to be a @$$hole and crush the s**t outta' this place.Half the stuff I've put up with is something most adults don't even come across. And I have been in moments where I question if I should kill myself.But their are too many reasons to not do this. Pokémon is one of them...and it is my love of Pokémon that has made me willing to work my butt off to make this place a place where people can leave their worries behind...at least for a few minutes. And that is what matters.
I'm trying to be specific on what I'm NOT supposed to do [along the lines of editing...not obvious rules like "no swearing", but exactly what I need to avoid when editing. This is what the message I got said...
*First in National Dex Order to/of/that x
Only type in a color group
Can learn x without x/Has x but can't learn x
Pokedex =/= game mechanics
Move learnability across generations
It is not very specific, it is not making a whole lot of sense...and it is very, very basic. In fact, it barely tells me what is to be avoided. And it is not specific. I like being specific [obviously]...also, I want specific info because I dislike breaking rules...so I usually want it to be so specific that there are no loopholes for either side whatsoever. So that is the reason I'm being picky on precision.
Thanks...Needs more Pikachu...and some Mudkipz too... (talk) 23:11, 1 April 2013 (UTC)
I think you are misunderstanding the message. Those guidelines only apply for trivia, not editing in general. For links to all the rules on Bulbapedia, look at the welcome box on your talk page which was provided for you for your convenience. Try reading over the Manual of Style and FAQ for more info. --Pokemaster9723:30, 1 April 2013 (UTC)

Seeing as you stated on another user's talk page a bit ago some trivia is no longer needed, will be alright if I go through and remove those bits of trivia from pages with that kind of trivia (only type in a color group, pokedex and game mechanics seperation, etc.)? FrozenFennec00:31, 1 April 2013 (UTC)
If you'd like to help, that would be great. The only exception to the guidelines you mentioned are the "first" Steel-type (Magnemite) and first Dark-type because they were added later on. --Pokemaster9700:39, 1 April 2013 (UTC)
It's supposed to represent the HP status of my talkpage, it gets lower as the page gets longer. I'm pretty sure I coded it wrong though, but meh. --Pokemaster9716:18, 1 April 2013 (UTC)
Note that not all projects have the same guidelines, so it's always a good idea to check the Manual of style and the other guideline pages to gain a good grasp on all of the policies and rules. --Pokemaster9719:59, 6 April 2013 (UTC)
Oh I didn't mean that I meant that it is actually really hard to add anything useful since Bulbapedia often the hard stuff is left to complete which I don't know. Next to that talkpages I edit are often not answered which is rather frustrating.Minor Notes (talk) 20:04, 6 April 2013 (UTC)

Do you keep up with the Japanese anime? If you do, there is a post on N's anime talk page that was somewhat responded to and I'm not sure if it was the actual response to my topic. Other than that, both topics on the page haven't been responded to in a while. PattyMan20:55, 14 April 2013 (UTC)
Oh, sorry, did that come off as explosive? My intent was to comically preempt any notes on my talk page for editing a page multiple times in a row. Sorry about that. I'll keep my caps to a minimum in the future. Dragonhat (talk) 03:49, 19 April 2013 (UTC)

Regarding Musashi's "on hiatus" status
Latest comment: 10 May 20132 comments2 people in discussion
First, I think it's important to note it, because it indicates that she's still part of staff (as opposed to being former staff), while just saying she's retired would lead to confusion. Secondly, she will be taking up a new role when the hiatus ends, so we would need to edit her part of the page anyway, so removing the "on hiatus" to make her entry more permanent doesn't actually help that much. --Evil Figment (talk) 00:01, 10 May 2013 (UTC)
Oh, I thought because she was in the "Other Noteworthy Staff" section, it was implied that she was still on staff, but I see your points. I can put it back if you would like. --Pokemaster9703:02, 10 May 2013 (UTC)

I am aware of what Jo told me. This one was exceptional since someone decided to make the userpage, unless that too fell into the category. PattyMan01:14, 13 May 2013 (UTC)
Even so, it was still less than than 20 minutes since the account was created, one the administrators would have picked it up. It's really not urgent unless the spambots are vandalizing pages or etc. but all they're really doing is creating talk pages and doing nothing else after that. --Pokemaster9701:29, 13 May 2013 (UTC)

I'm kind off suspicious about the edit warring that happened on the Lass and Braviary pages. The user who did it was kind of similar to a past user that did it. Might want to check them out. PattyMan02:57, 16 May 2013 (UTC)
We looked into it and there wasn't enough evidence to conclude that the two users are connected in anyway. Thanks for the tip though. --Pokemaster9703:08, 16 May 2013 (UTC)

Hey I am editing the page a lot simply to get it set up. Once its set up then It wont be editing a lot. I like to make sure it looks nice. Besides I have only made 2 edits to the page and have added 14 edits today. It shouldnt matter anyways as I am adding to other pages too, not just mine. Im just setting it up to get it started BlackDragon23:01, 16 June 2013 (UTC)
Actually, the user space limits count for all of your pages in the user namespace, so your sandbox and talk template count as well. Counting those, you have a 5 edits. I know you want to have a nice looking userpage, but that doesn't mean you get to ignore the userpace policy. --Pokemaster9723:10, 16 June 2013 (UTC)
Even when I am talking to a senior administrator? And Yeah 5 edits, so what. Most of those I simply created the page and left. Im aloud to do that. What about that hurts the site or anything else? I can set my page up. I have done at least 4 times as many edits to pages yesterday. BlackDragon17:12, 17 June 2013 (UTC)
Talk pages are not the user space (that's the user talk space), so that doesn't count. I don't care if it's creating the page and leaving, it still counts as edits. We have limits because people abused the privilege of editing the userspace in the past. Letting you edit as many times as you want just because you're setting your page up while others obey the 3 edits a day limits is not going to happen. If everyone else can follow the rule, you can as well. If you decide not to, you'll find your userspace privileges revoked. --Pokemaster9717:27, 17 June 2013 (UTC)
abuse
Latest comment: 25 June 20132 comments2 people in discussion
The user TheBlazikenMaster has just used the edit summary to verbally abuse someone.
Spearow (Pokémon); 16:20 . . (-123) . . TheBlazikenMaster (Talk | contribs) (By no means does the Spearow count as an "antagonist". Do you even know what an antagonist is? I doubt it.)
The conflict seems to have arisen when the user Perseus54321 added trivia to the Spearow article about Spearow technically being the first antagonist of the series in Team Rocket's absence.
I thought it was best I contact you over the matter, since you have prior experience in dealing with TheBlazikenMasterYamitora1 (talk) 20:54, 25 June 2013 (UTC)

Let's say a sockpuppet got caught/blocked, does putting a delete tag on the sockpuppet's talk page fall under the same category as in putting one on a spambot's talk page? PattyMan05:56, 3 July 2013 (UTC)
It really depends on the situation. If a sockpuppet has a lot of messages on it, it really should be kept for historical purposes unless an Administrator decides otherwise. Socks that have little to no edits and talk page messages, then we're more likely to delete their pages. If it's a sock from long ago though, it's really no use to go back and delete their pages. --Pokemaster9716:55, 3 July 2013 (UTC)

Explain to me why I can't remove comments off my page. This is really ticking me off. - unsigned comment from Abdullahi456 (talk • contribs)
This is for historical purposes and so Bulbapedia staff don't give repeated warnings about the same thing. Also, if you click on the history tab of your talk page, you can see I haven't been the one reverting your edits recently. --Pokemaster9703:55, 8 July 2013 (UTC)
Man, you are working my last nerve.
I never said you reverted them, I know it was another user. I only asked you because you told me it wasn't allowed. Does archiving it work like you said? - unsigned comment from Abdullahi456 (talk • contribs)
Yes, archiving your page would work, just move your current talk page to User talk:Abdullahi456/Archive 1, that would make your page clear of the messages. --Pokemaster9716:16, 8 July 2013 (UTC)

I was reading the episode guides on here and noticed that EP220 - EP222's guides matched the ones on serebii (only a few words were changed around). PattyMan05:30, 18 July 2013 (UTC)
Not to be rude, but I might be able to explain what seems to have happened. I looked at Serebii's synopsis of episode 220 to compare the two. After seeing what looked like massive copying, I noticed a few details. Serebii credits a user named "Xeno Lugia" for the guide, however there is no user named Xeno Lugia on Bulbapedia. Looking closer, the edits to the Bulbapedia article were made in 2006 and by a inactive staff member, which seemed funny as they should have been noticed sooner. In addition, the edit summary is just "Synopsis by Altomare Latios" Looking at the Serebii guide, you will find a link is placed at Xeno Lugia to "[email protected]" and there is a user named Altomare Latios. Looking at their userspace, it appears that the two users are one and it seems we have consent to use their synopsis as long as credit is given.
Granted, there are severalpotentialissues that this could bring up. Though, it is important to note that Serebii seems to only have permission to have the guide as long as credit is given, much like our situation. Not to mention, it doesn't seem like Altomare has had a problem with us using it over the past seven year. --Super goku (talk) 07:05, 18 July 2013 (UTC)

The logo image from Cartoon Network lists it as "pok16_beyond", which means it's part of season 16. Also, the episode guide lists the first episode using the "and Beyond" title (as it can be seen in the synopsis section) as part of season 16 as well. --Gabo 2oo (talk) 19:22, 24 July 2013 (UTC)
Ah, I see, I just wanted to make sure ^-^. I noticed your message about allowing the seasoninfobox template to have more than one region.

I went with unsigned, thanks. One more thing, for the staff page, Webmasters is a wanted page that anyone can create. Can I ask for it to be changed to Executive Policymakers, or the Webmasters page to be protected? — Reshi64303:27, 25 July 2013 (UTC)
The Executive Policymakers actually underwent a recent name change to "Webmasters" and we haven't had a chance to fix everything. We will be doing that shortly. --Pokemaster9703:41, 25 July 2013 (UTC)

For the userspace, is only putting a delete tag on a page count towards the three edits a day limit, because I would like to put it on two pages that I want to be deleted? — Reshi64303:56, 27 July 2013 (UTC)
