:If you haven't "captured" signs, they'll be displayed in the PKMN Report. (I haven't got any of the six signs at the moment) Presumably it's Oak's hints, since Mt. Dugtrio mentions going to valley. Oak tells you about signs once you meet him there, and then as far as I remember he tells you that he went to Valley to search for one of them.

::I've actually had plans on redesigning Snap pages. Unfortunately I've neglected to update the articles. I'll possibly get to it soon since it seems people are getting into it. I just don't really want any edits going to waste, cause I've had these new designs in the works for a long while now. <sup>[[Typhlosion (Pokémon)|<span style="color:#C00;">★</span>]]</sup>[[User:Jo The Marten|<span style="color:#C00;">Jo the Marten</span>]]<sup>[[Flygon (Pokémon)|<span style="color:#C00;">★</span>]]</sup> [[User_Talk:Jo The Marten|<span style="color:#C00;">ಠ_ಠ</span>]][[Cilan (anime)|<span style="color:#90C870;">♥</span>]] 07:19, 25 June 2013 (UTC)

::@Marked If I didn't have unbelievable pictures of some of the Pokémon, and top scores for almost all the courses, I would have restarted the games just so I could have a more fresh, real time knowledge of the game. Its hard since I have a save file that is almost as old as the game. In fact, after 15 years of trying, I finally beaned speed Pikachu in the head just before he re-entered the log. I wasn't even trying, and man did it feel good to accomplish that goal finally.
::@Jo Yeah, I recently hooked up my N64 just so I could play it and help the articles which were horribly lacking in info. The Pokémon sections are in such bad shape, that I almost want to vote to do away with them until a new more informative and comprehensive version can be made. They're so 2-dimensional, flat and most of the entries are flawed with incomplete, false or half-truth info.
::The goal of the articles are also a little all over the place. I'm not sure if we're suppose to write them like we're describing them from the outside, looking in, or if we're trying to instruct people on game mechanics and howtos. Its like half the info is encyclopedic and could be on Wikipedia (not dishing BP), while the other half is ripped from a walk-through/player's guide. The Pokémon section in particular is bad about this sort of thing. I'm also confused on how to address Todd/the player as well. I know several insistence of Todd has been removed, but I think it should still be noted that the player plays as todd or a character based on him.
::I've tried my best to remain neutral and keep the article as encyclopedic as I possibly can, but without a clear direction of where the article is meant to go...I'm kinda steering blind here. I am not the best writer; I speak English as my native tongue, but I can barely do that right, and hell if I can write it. The rules on grammar and all the different words that look, sound and mean the same are like a Pester Ball smacking me upside the head. I think we need to seriously pool together resources, and figure out how to best relay the info that needs to be relayed, how and where. The biggest problem is there are about a dozen or more articles all tied to this game, so organizing a effort to fix it is going be challenging. We should use the main Snap article's talk page as a command center. [[User:Yamitora1|Yamitora1]] ([[User talk:Yamitora1|talk]]) 20:42, 25 June 2013 (UTC)
