Talk pages for Robot Chicken skit guides: Pokémon Bloopers Pikachu Secret
The goal of Encyclopaediae Pokémonis is to be just as international as Pokémon itself, and helping aspiring Pokémon wikis in languages we don't yet have is a great way to help achieve that goal. However, if we don't even know who the possible aspirers for Encyclopaediae Pokémonis's ninth language even are, there's no way any growth can take place. If you speak or understand a language that's currently not represented in Encyclopaediae Pokémonis and happen to find a wiki in that language with aspirations to join Encyclopaediae Pokémonis, then don't hesitate to drop me a line. Remember, an aspirier can't grow if they remain sheltered from the world!
If you understand Brazilian Portuguese, or know someone who does, then the Portuguese arm of Encyclopaediae Pokémonis is in desperate need of your assistance. Many, if not all, of that wiki's articles are in dire need of improvement, be it massive cleanup or even adding some real content to begin with. Their sysops are never around to handle things, and their interwiki bot has done nothing since late September--of 2008. The fact that a trusted member of Encyclopaediae Pokémonis has fallen into such disrepair is disturbing, to say the least. Brazilians do not deserve quality this low. If you can help improve the Portuguese end, then I highly recommend you do so. Today.

Conway's Slowking
If I may ask, what's "not notable" about it? Chocolate (Chat with Me) 15:34, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
- Ask PAK Man. The article was created as PAK Man was reverting an edit the article's creator made to an episode article, where PAK Man's summary was how the Pokémon was not notable enough for its own article. Angie's Shinx is about to meet with the same fate, and I'd recommend the same advice in that case as well. --Shiningpikablu252 15:36, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
What do you mean the G in Glitch Pokémon shouldn't be capitalized?!
We capitalize the S in Shadow Pokémon, don't we? And Shadow's not usually a proper noun, is it? However, it is always capitalized in the phrase "Shadow Pokémon. Naturally, the same should occur with Glitch Pokémon. So it's a fanmade term. Big deal! It's still describing a specific type of Pokémon. Does its fan origin make it any less notable? No, because Nintendo's never made known what they call them (and given their attitude on the subject, they probably call them bugs, mistakes, errors, or scrambles anyway). Now, I suggested on Chocolate's talk page that we hold a vote on the subject, about whether or not the G should be capitalized. And on whether or not to move ALL Glitch Pokémon articles to [name] (Glitch Pokémon) to be consistant with PkMn. Now, personally, I am outraged on how my attempt failed the other night. Not only was I blocked and every single move reverted, but each page was protected against future moves (by you, if memory serves). And Chocolate was blocked as well, but unblocked because he was in the right?! NO! I was in the right, he was well in the wrong! I gave him a perfectly good reason for continuing to move the pages, and he still reverted them! And then I got blocked! Am I the only one here who agrees that I had a valid point?! *calms down* OK. Now then, my point is, how would I go about starting one of these polls, I mean in an official capacity? Missingno. Master.....IT IS TIME! 11:20, 18 January 2009 (UTC)
- There's a difference between Shadow Pokémon and glitch Pokémon. The term "Shadow Pokémon" has been put into official use as a proper noun. The term "glitch Pokémon" has never been used as a proper noun, and very likely never will be, as Nintendo has never officially acknowledged the existence of any glitch Pokémon save Missingno., and even then only because the method to find one was easy to pull off resulting in Nintendo getting questions.
- Trust me, if this issue is put to a vote, the consensus will be to leave "glitch" lowercased when used within the standard body of a sentence (trust me, the glitch Pokémon article's going nowhere since many words that would start lowercase in standard usage are capitalized in encyclopedias). --Shiningpikablu252 15:43, 18 January 2009 (UTC)
- No offense, but I HIGHLY doubt you speak for the entire population of Bulbagarden (or even a majority). I still say we put this to a vote. Missingno. Master.....IT IS TIME! 17:23, 22 January 2009 (UTC)
While you're here...
Can you please remove that extremely inconvenient period between the words "Userspace" and "edits" in {{Userspace warning}}?--freezingCOLD (page, talk) 22:40, 20 January 2009 (UTC)
So, seriously....
When will we start this Glitch Pokémon vote? I'm Missingno. Master. See my new and improved user page, and comment on it! 16:20, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
- If a vote's going to be extremely one-sided (in this case, heavily in favor of NOT treating "glitch Pokémon" as a proper phrase where "glitch" has the first letter capitalized), there's no real reason to start it. --Shiningpikablu252 16:23, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
- Again, I highly doubt you speak for a majority of Bulbapedia on this subject. And even if you do, I'd like to know for sure. I'm Missingno. Master. See my new and improved user page, and comment on it! 16:28, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
- You highly doubt it, but he actually does. MaverickNate 16:32, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
- I say enough talk. I'm gonna start a poll in the forums right now, due to close in a month. The winning option becomes the rule. Anyone opposed to it is more than welcome to state their case there. I'm Missingno. Master. See my new and improved user page, and comment on it! 16:38, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

Administrator Status
In order to keep our Administrator list currently up-to-date, this is a generic "are you there" message.
You've been assumed as currently active and are already marked as such, but if you disagree with this, either edit the List of administrators to reflect your status (Active, Hiatus, Inactive), or reply here when you get the chance. -- Jïörüjï Ðērākō.>.cнаt^ 16:12, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
- Simply looking at my contributions should prove enough evidence of me still being active. Sure, I'm not quite as active as I once was, but everyone has their low points...--Shiningpikablu252 19:11, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
- Yeh, and thus you're already marked as active. I'm just making sure that everyone who I already marked gets the chance to see it, in case they have other ideas. -- Jïörüjï Ðērākō.>.cнаt^ 20:08, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
Psst.
Don't forget to change the episodeprevnext to epicodeprevnext and alter it accordingly... TTEchidna 03:34, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
Ash Ketchum's Heracross (Pokémon)
I must have overlooked the (Pokémon) part. Thanks for fixing that. I wonder where it came from? rockersk08 17:59, 10 February 2009 (UTC)
- Somebody put that link on Megahorn so that the coding read "[[Ash Ketchum]]'s {{p|Ash Ketchum's Heracross}}". I fixed the page so that everything both read and linked correctly. --Shiningpikablu252 18:01, 10 February 2009 (UTC)
Thanks!
Thanks for the help with the Charmander eggs on my User page. That was bugging me and I couldn't for the life of me figure it out. Plus, I think the box you created could help me with another problem... but that's another story! Thanks again!--GReimer 18:35, 11 February 2009 (UTC)
