== Pokemon Adventures volume 43 ==

So...since it's confirmed that it'll start the {{chap|Black & White}}, what should we do [[ABW01|this page, plus any chapters put into volume format]]? Do we move them to their proper ordering...or make new articles altogether? [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] ([[User talk:Ataro|talk]]) 03:13, 15 November 2012 (UTC)
:Way back when we made those articles in the first place we decided that ABW was a temporary epicode only and that the epicode numbers would be replaced with PSXXX once the rest of the chapters were caught up. So basically it was only so we could start making articles for them right away. So, yes, I'd like the page titles moved to the round numbers in order after HGSS chapter's and the content integrated as with the rest of the rounds. ABW01 is still the English translation of PSXXX and ABW02 is still the English translation of PSYYY, and so on, so it should be easy. We can just add that it was collected in volume 43, and so on, instead of B&W volume 1, and add a footnote/trivia/whatever indicating which English volume it was included in. Hope that all makes sense, let me know if you have any questions :D [[Special:Contributions/Zesty Cactus|--]][[User:Zesty Cactus|<span style="color:#006400">'''Zesty'''</span>]][[User talk:Zesty Cactus|<span style="color:#3CB371">'''Cactus'''</span>]] 03:38, 15 November 2012 (UTC)
::Of course this is partly going on the assumption that they will be published in the same order once they reach graphic novel format in Japan. But we'll worry about that only if it ever happens for real haha. I don't see any point in making separate articles, just maybe redirects for now, since it is literally the same rounds anyway.

== OK, this has been bugging me for ages ==

But, I can't take it anymore. [[List of rounds in the tenth chapter of Pokémon Adventures|Are these even real?]] I'm asking this because they sound made up. First of all, I have you-know-whats of the magazine releases, yet there's no sign of VS anything in any of the chapters. You know the one called "VS Deino?" It's not called that. It's called the B2W2 Prologue chapter. And that's all. Coronis is the one who sends those posts to Serebii, who even admitted he doesn't know much about it. Since Coronis makes up crap all the time, I think he made these titles up just to give them a title. It wouldn't be the first time he made stuff. Like nicknames, English names for characters that didn't have any at the time, etc. [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] ([[User talk:Ataro|talk]]) 03:53, 17 November 2012 (UTC)
:Yeah, I don't really trust Coronis either considering he made up names for like a zillion characters and all that. I would 100% trust the documents you have over him, anyway. I'd be ready to revert the article on account of them being unconfirmed if you agree. At least until {{PAV|43}} comes out in which case we should have a reference for the first couple rounds. (also another strike against those dubious names is the fact that nobody put them in the articles, such as [[ABW01]]) we could also ask {{u|Pokeant}} where he got the info from, it looks to me like he was the one who added it.

::::At the time of your post, I didn't know. But yesterday, it was revealed to be coming out on the 25th of January. Also, I was wondering if you could upload the chapter covers for ABW26-8. It's the only English volume I don't have. I've been making pages for the chapters that have been released in France, but since they don't have titles in either Japanese of English, I'm not sure what to name them....[[User:Ataro|Ataro]] ([[User talk:Ataro|talk]]) 19:10, 23 November 2012 (UTC)
:::::So far what you've done with the new rounds articles is perfect. If you want to put titles in the opening paragraph, you can always follow my example from [[GDZ16]] and onward (since for volume 2 I don't have the Japanese titles, I just used the French ones). For linking (like on character's pages) I would just link with the epicode alone for now. As for the Volume 8 chapters, yeah, I have it, I can scan them, no problem :) let me know if you have any other questions :D [[Special:Contributions/Zesty Cactus|--]][[User:Zesty Cactus|<span style="color:#006400">'''Zesty'''</span>]][[User talk:Zesty Cactus|<span style="color:#3CB371">'''Cactus'''</span>]] 19:20, 23 November 2012 (UTC)

== Pokémon Pocket Monsters moves ==

This has been bugging me. In the Pokémon Pocket Monsters manga, only a few moves were seen in the manga so far. Do you know if any more have been discovered as it is hard to tell since most of the battles that happen end up containing the characters constantly performing punches and kicks? [[User:Pattyman|<span style="color:orange">Patty</span>]][[User talk:Pattyman|<span style="color:orange">Man</span>]] 05:01, 2 December 2012 (UTC)
:Sorry for the slow reply!! Yeah, I would only include moves that have been confirmed by name. I suppose it's a lot like [[Magical Pokémon Journey]] where there's a lot of Pokémon talking and hanging out, but not using a lot of confirmed moves. Hope that helps o_O [[Special:Contributions/Zesty Cactus|--]][[User:Zesty Cactus|<span style="color:#006400">'''Zesty'''</span>]][[User talk:Zesty Cactus|<span style="color:#3CB371">'''Cactus'''</span>]] 04:19, 11 December 2012 (UTC)

== Template question ==

Hi. I've been going through and adding in the Japanese titles and translations where they are lacking (and when they are available), but there is an inconsistency in previously completed pages. In the template, there are title_en, title_ja, and title_ro... And in some of the pages, the title_ro contains the romanized Japanese (which makes sense), but in others, it simply contains the translated Japanese again. The translated Japanese title is already present in the article in the leading line, so which is it? If it is supposed to contain the romanized Japanese, then many pages need to be redone. I can do them, but people need to stop adding a second translation there. I figured I'd get your final word on it, since it's your project. [[User:Mefredbob|Mefredbob]] ([[User talk:Mefredbob|talk]]) 10:03, 15 December 2012 (UTC)
:My best guess is the inconsistencies are left over from when {{u|Transfinite}} did all the manga stuff, as they were particularly fond of using romanised Japanese all over the place. (for example, the actual article title for [[Walnut Tree]] was "Kurumi no Ki" until I moved it). Anyway, I would prefer the infoboxes translated, actually.. [[GDZ02]] and [[PPP24]] are good examples. Thanks for helping out with the translations :) let me know if you have any other questions/concerns/troubles/etc. [[Special:Contributions/Zesty Cactus|--]][[User:Zesty Cactus|<span style="color:#006400">'''Zesty'''</span>]][[User talk:Zesty Cactus|<span style="color:#3CB371">'''Cactus'''</span>]] 19:41, 15 December 2012 (UTC)

== New User ==

Hello, I'm a new editor on Bulbapedia, and while I have significant experience editing on Wikia, I have none whatsoever here. While many aspects are the same, there are significant differences between the two. As a result, I'd first off like to apologize in advance if I mess something up (I don't plan on doing so, but hey we all start off new at some point). Second of all, my current goal is to add HD (game running in 1080 pixels) screenshots of Pokemon Colosseum and XD Gale of Darkness. One example is [http://archives.bulbagarden.net/wiki/File:Cipher_peon_verde_front.png this screenshot of Verde.] I will refrain from actually adding images to pages until I confirm with you that my images are suitable for Bulbapedia. Should this image (and any further images, since I'm going to continue uploads after this message) be satisfactory, I'd be more than happy to take any needed screenshots from the games. Sorry if this seems a little long-winded (and it probably sounds kinda formal too). [[User:Nairbnroh|Nairbnroh]] ([[User talk:Nairbnroh|talk]]) 10:55, 19 December 2012 (UTC)

== Ash and Pikachu ==

Hi. I was filling in the missing info for the Ash and Pikachu manga chapters, and then ran into a snag. As far as I can tell, http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/SP04 doesn't exist in Japan. There are only 5 chapters in the first volume, according to my sources. Though there are 6 chapters in later volumes, so I'm not really sure what the deal is. So if you see SP04 flagged as missing info, that is why. The info isn't readily available, like most of the more obscure manga titles. [[User:Mefredbob|Mefredbob]] ([[User talk:Mefredbob|talk]]) 17:21, 20 December 2012 (UTC)
:That is so weird o_O i wonder how that ended up being, it seems weird that the creator would make one chapter exclusively for Singapore (I have the Singapore version of the first volume), so maybe it was a magazine chapter that got put in CY's volume? just wondering, does your source show numbers on the title pages (like how on my scan of [[SP04]] it says Chapter 4 at the top) that might give us some more details. anyway, thank you for helping with the manga so far :) [[Special:Contributions/Zesty Cactus|--]][[User:Zesty Cactus|<span style="color:#006400">'''Zesty'''</span>]][[User talk:Zesty Cactus|<span style="color:#3CB371">'''Cactus'''</span>]] 02:53, 22 December 2012 (UTC)
::My source is just a text listing of chapter titles, and it includes the chapter numbers. I never bothered hunting down scans because that sounds like a nightmare. It's possible it was an error, or maybe one chapter was split in half? I don't know.
And if you need translation help with the manga (or game or TCG) stuff, never hesitate to ask. I tend to lurk around daily, so I'd see it if you wrote on my talkpage. I'm fluent in both English and Japanese, so never hesitate to ask. I like to help where I can. [[User:Mefredbob|Mefredbob]] ([[User talk:Mefredbob|talk]]) 17:36, 22 December 2012 (UTC)
:::That is completely possible, maybe a chapter was split in half and we'll have no way of knowing (for now) since most of the information already on the wiki is based on the Singapore version (the person before me who started the articles also had the Singapore version). That kind of split has happened before with other manga, see ''[[PS045|Cloystered/Raging Rattata]]'' as an example. We'll leave it as is for now until we know for sure because moving everything now, then moving back later if it turns out it was originally split like that, could be a big hassle :S Anyway, thanks again for your help, I do have a few things on my list that could use translation, so I will be sure to let you know :) [[Special:Contributions/Zesty Cactus|--]][[User:Zesty Cactus|<span style="color:#006400">'''Zesty'''</span>]][[User talk:Zesty Cactus|<span style="color:#3CB371">'''Cactus'''</span>]] 18:14, 22 December 2012 (UTC)

== Poké Special Tournaments ==
Hi, please, I would like to know if you are against creating pages about the Kanto's Pokémon League(from Red and Blue) and current Unova League(from Black e White) and Gym Leaders Tournament all showed in Pokémon Adventures?--[[User:Hikaru Wazana|Hikaru Wazana]]  20:21, 21 December 2012 (UTC)
:I am not totally against the idea...perhaps you could create the potential articles in your userspace first (like at {{Red link|User:Hikaru Wazana/Article name}} so I can review them before putting in the mainspace. I vaguely recall the details from the Kanto Pokémon League from the {{chap|Red, Green & Blue}}, you could probably flesh out an article from that, maybe about like what kind of competitions are in it, what rounds it was featured in, how many battles are supposed to take place, what known past winners there were, including how any of the main/supporting characters that were featured placed (like, I think Green came in third or fourth place, right? It's been a long time since I read that chapter). I am not as familiar with the Gym Leaders Tournament since I've only read as far as like [[ABW13]] (I have all the VIZ Media volumes but didn't read them all yet XD) but again if you created an article in the userspace we could see from there.

Ok, I'm working on it on my PC for now, so you're more prepared I'll put. And the first Pokémon League in Kanto was small (two editions covered the league :P ), and yes you are right, Green (the girl) was fourth (actually, the only ones known competitors were Oak, Red, Blue and Green girl). About the Competition of the leaders was more elaborate and covered more issues (about ten if I'm not mistaken). The League of Unova is still early for work, but considering I'll take some time with the first two may be that she already has more information on it when everything is in order (if only because the only information we have so far are who 'll be in competition).--[[User:Hikaru Wazana|Hikaru Wazana]]  01:51, 24 December 2012 (UTC)

== Images ==

A question: what's your opinion on stuff like [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/File:Elesa_PMBW.png this?] Personally, I think it's hideous and unless a bad quality image can be made even '''''slightly''''' presentable with editing, an image of that quality shouldn't be used at all. It just makes the article look bad. (I am about to replace it with a non-bad version, though. There are similar examples from the Zensho scans). [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] ([[User talk:Ataro|talk]]) 20:19, 22 December 2012 (UTC)
:Ew, that one was bad XD especially compared to your image, it looks kind of stretched? Like those weird mirrors lol? Anyway, I agree that if an image is so bad, it shouldn't be used at all. I'd rather have no image then a really bad one, it looks sloppy. For example, on CY's website there are cover images for EToP, but they are like 80x100px and soooo grainy that i refuse to use them on the wiki :P (I'll take a look at the Zensho scans then, I do have the manga so maybe I can replace them.)

== BW Volume Question  ==

Hey Zesty. Do BW volumes, (like [[Pokémon Black and White volume 10]]) get move protected or not? Most of them are unprotected, but like two of them are, so I was just wondering what the standard was. Thanks.

:Hmmmmmm I don't usually move-protect them unless there's a dispute with the title (and therefore it's move-protected to prevent vandalism, etc) like for example [[Electric Tale of Pikachu volume 1]] and so on I believe are move-protected because we had some problems with people moving them. However it probably wouldn't hurt to move-protect them. It's just not really a big deal if they are or not, like I wouldn't spend hours going through and move-protecting them one by one just because xD (however episode/chapter/round epicodes always get move protected) so in short it doesn't really matter i think :P [[Special:Contributions/Zesty Cactus|--]][[User:Zesty Cactus|<span style="color:#006400">'''Zesty'''</span>]][[User talk:Zesty Cactus|<span style="color:#3CB371">'''Cactus'''</span>]] 03:52, 31 December 2012 (UTC)

== Question ==

When the manga HGSS saga ends, will the ABWXX Articles be moved to PSXXX? I've read somewhere that Black and White manga was released as a different series, so that's what generated my doubt.--[[User:Igor Castro Chucre|Igor ]] ([[User talk:Igor Castro Chucre|talk]]) 21:08, 10 January 2013 (UTC)
:It's currently being published by VIZ Media, who is taking the rounds directly from the magazine publication rather than wait for a collected volume to be released. Since we did not yet know the round numbering for all the HGSS rounds, we started the articles with placeholder titles as ABWXX. My intention is to move them once the Japanese release has caught up to these rounds (but maintaining the current information on VIZ Media's licensed release... and Kurokawa's French release.. a bit of a challenge but for me it's fun XD) hope that answers your question!

== Project Manga - ISBN Numbers ==

I'm going to start filling in the info for the Korean releases of Pokémon Special... however, I'm not sure what ISBN number I should use, and I can't seem to find an answer anywhere.

Can I use ANY ISBN number, so long as it's for that particular title and volume (regardless of what copy/printing it is), or should I use the FIRST ISBN number under that title?

For example, of all the printings of Pokémon Special volume 3 in Korean, there's the one that's on my copy (978-89-252-8625-9), and then there's the one which apparently is the first ISBN number used (978-89-252-3433-5). There's also at least one other (978-89-844-2538-5) as well. All three can be found on Korean book stores (like Kyobo).

Now I looked at where the ISBN links on Bulbapedia go, so I assume that ANY ISBN number would work, so long as the user can find *A* copy of it online, right? Thank you for your time! -- [[User:Nick15|Nick15]] ([[User talk:Nick15|talk]]) 01:37, 15 January 2013 (UTC)
:As long as it's a legitimate ISBN number for a licensed release, it's fine. Doesn't seem like it's something I need to be fussy about. I wasn't even aware the exact same edition in a different printing might have multiple ISBNs o__O probably even just whatever is on your own copy is fine - I always prefer first-hand information.

== Pokemon Special lead inconsistencies ==

I was just curious as to why the leads for the RBY chapters, the DPPt chapters, and the BW chapters were all different.  I'm assuming the Chuang Yi titles for RBY are the same as the Japanese one, but it doesn't show the titles.  The DPPt chapters (that are out) have it set up like "Viz title/Chuang Yi title", and the BW chapters are set up as "Chuang Yi title" or "Viz title (in the ViZ Media translation)".  Is this just an inconsistency that needs to be fixed, or is like that for a reason?  --[[User:Funktastic~!|<span style="color:#009900">'''It's'''</span> <span style="color:#CC66FF">'''Funktastic~!'''</span>]][[User talk:Funktastic~!|<sub><small><span style="color:#99CCFF">''話してください''</span></small></sub>]] 22:39, 25 January 2013 (UTC)
:It's because the release of Pokémon Adventures in English has been complicated as hell. For the {{chap|Red, Green & Blue}} and the {{chap|Yellow}}, Chuang Yi's edition is actually a reprint of VIZ Media's first edition, so they share the same English titles. However, since VIZ Media stopped after volume 7 at first, volumes 8+ have been translated by Chuang Yi all by themselves. Beginning in August 2010, VIZ Media started doing volumes 8+, which is an original translation separate from Chuang Yi's. That's why you see the split in the title opening sentence for {{chap|Gold, Silver & Crystal}} and {{chap|Diamond & Pearl}}. {{chap|Black & White}} is really complicated since it hasn't been released in volume format in Japan yet, (coming soon though) so we don't know all the titles for the rounds since the information we have is limited to what is known by those who can access the magazine version. However, since VIZ Media is publishing them in mini-volumes, often we have the VIZ Media title but not the Japanese title yet. (Chuang Yi is only as far as the {{chap|Platinum}} and isn't doing BW chapter yet AFAIK). Considering that weird release schedule I find the formatting pretty consistent (or at least as good as it gets), I hope that explanation made any sense lol, let me know if you have any questions or concerns still ^^' [[Special:Contributions/Zesty Cactus|--]][[User:Zesty Cactus|<span style="color:#006400">'''Zesty'''</span>]][[User talk:Zesty Cactus|<span style="color:#3CB371">'''Cactus'''</span>]] 05:45, 26 January 2013 (UTC)

== Giovanni's Hitmonlee and Hitmonchan ==

I noticed that {{OBP|Giovanni|Pocket Monsters}}'s {{p|Hitmonlee}} and {{p|Hitmonchan}} have played major roles throughout the Kanto arc in Pokémon Pocket Monsters, even their infoboxes are gigantic. Do you think it is time to give them articles? If yes, they should be merged to the page called Giovanni's Hitmons since every appearance minus their debut featured them together. Oh, and I believe they haven't used any moves confirmed by name so far, unless I'm mistaken.

:I looked sooo hard to find an example to show you of another article that features two Pokémon together and I couldn't find one XD but I swear on my life that Bulbapedia has had such articles before, and anyway, splitting off Hitmonlee and Hitmonchan to a separate shared article should be fine. Their infoboxes ''are'' huge haha.

== Can I add this unofficial external link? ==

I've been told to only add official sites to the external link section of articles, but I found a summary of the ''Mewtwo Strikes Back!'' manga adaption [http://www.geocities.ws/kdmewtwo/dengeki.html here] and I've seen unofficial external links in articles that have little info, so I was wondering if this is an acceptable exception? --[[User:PokeAwesome94|PokeAwesome94]] ([[User talk:PokeAwesome94|talk]]) 19:55, 8 February 2013 (UTC)

== Ground rules ==

OK, we need to set some ground rules for Project manga stuff. Why? Because I am '''''furious''''', and it's driving me crazy how many people are ignoring what I say. I am literally going to scream in rage if these keeps going on. Alright, here they are: 
:1) "If a Pokémon uses a move but it isn't called out or revealed later on, it shouldn't be added to the Move Manga template or anywhere else that involves the specific Pokémon. Under any circumstances." It '''really''' goes against our title as an "encyclopedia" if we just guess what a move is called. This isn't the anime, which has moves that are easily identifiable and repeatedly states what the moves are anyway. Manga? Still, non-moving, frozen black and white images. 
:2) "If you can't read Japanese, it'd be best to not touch anything from manga that haven't been released outside of Japan." I mean, if you don't can't even understand what's going on, why touch story-related stuff? I guess you can add stuff like Pokemon pictures or appearances, but if you can't understand, it shouldn't be touched. Potentially false information is no different than no information at all.
:3) "No scanlation text." I think this speaks for itself. Not really something new, but should be said. [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] ([[User talk:Ataro|talk]]) 22:04, 17 February 2013 (UTC)
::My thoughts..
::# Fully back you up on this one. I have been asked about this before and I believe that under no circumstances should moves be added to a Pokémon or move's page unless it has been specifically named as such in the pages of the manga. I was asked this due to in [[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]] most of the moves not being called out. Too bad, I think unless it gets called out, it doesn't count, for the same logic you just mentioned.
::# I'm fine with this as long as it's clear that the meaning behind the rule is to avoid adding false or misleading information. I personally understand very little Japanese but I still contribute by adding, as you mentioned, scans of title pages and Pokémon appearances. However, that's all I'll really do since I can't really understand the story - this is only for adding pictures to facts that are already on the wiki or to add images to chapter summary pages. I wouldn't add any synopsis or story summaries unless I was reading it in English or French, since otherwise, like you said, could potentially be false or mixed up since I don't understand the story. :P so yeah i would be okay with this rule as long as it was specific, since there are still limited contributions that can be made, as long as they're not attempting full story summaries or something like that. 
::# No complaints here. Makes total sense.
::So yeah if you're good with this I'll go ahead and add it to the [[Bulbapedia:Manual of style/Manga|manga manual of style]] since as far as i'm concerned that's where all the manga rules should go.

::::Ahem. Another suggestion I've been thinking of for a while. {{u|Arceus101|This guy}} has been annoying me for a few things. When volume 44 of Pokemon Adventures came out, he added the titles to the page without reading it. This can't be good. Info should only be added by someone if they actually saw the info themselves, right? While I don't think that the source he got them from isn't trustworthy (far from it), I don't like people touching things they haven't read. Maybe get a pic of the book's title as proof if you don't have it. The thing that really annoys me is that two of the titles he added were wrong (because they came from the titles Coronis made up), and he didn't even bother correcting this when he reverted my revert. So, I was suggesting "If you haven't read something, don't add info to it." Of course, if it's something minor, like English names or chapter titles, they can be added if the info is from a very trustworthy source, like Coronis or Dogasu. This is sort of similar to my "if you can't understand, don't touch it" suggestion from before. The reason I ask this is because of the Black and White releases and how complicated it's gonna be to move these chapters. [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] ([[User talk:Ataro|talk]]) 06:07, 17 April 2013 (UTC)

Sorry for bothering again but I've got a question regarding rounds too (or rather, their naming): [[PS469|This]] page says that the name of the round is "VS Pansage & Pansear & Panpour I" but {{PAV|44|this}} page says it's "VS Audino". If possible, could you clarify which one it is and fix the naming problem. It would help with the disambiguation pages.

:You mean something like this, right? <code>The following Pokémon are obtained: Red's {{p|Nidorino}} in [[PS001]].</code> as seen on {{PAV|1}} article.
:That I think is following the original epicode linking style of {{bp|Project Anime}}. Personally, I prefer chapters/rounds to be linked by title, ''[[PS001|A Glimpse of the Glow]]'' for example. So yeah, while it's not urgent to go through every volume's page and change it, it would conform to the overall style of other manga articles, so it would be okay to change.

== Akari ==
Where did you get [[Akari]]'s actual gender from? I changed his gender from male to unknown because he was referred to as both a male and female in the actual manga, and I found it to be debatable. That also explains why the male pronouns were changed to it. [[User:Pattyman|<span style="color:orange">Patty</span>]][[User talk:Pattyman|<span style="color:orange">Man</span>]] 04:35, 13 April 2013 (UTC)
:Apart from the fact that it was decided forever ago to only refer to Akari with male pronouns, I think Wikipedia explains it best:

:''The precise definition for transgender remains in flux, but includes:''
:: ''"Of, relating to, or designating a person whose identity does not conform unambiguously to conventional notions of male or female gender roles, but combines or moves between these."''
:: ''"People who were assigned a sex, usually at birth and based on their genitals, but who feel that this is a false or incomplete description of themselves."''
::''"Non-identification with, or non-presentation as, the sex (and assumed gender) one was assigned at birth."''

:In the How I Became a Pokémon Card manga, Akari was born female but self-identifies as male. He was presenting as male exclusively at school to all his friends until middle school when he was forced to wear a uniform with a skirt. Therefore, Akari is female-to-male transgender. Since he identifies as male in the manga, the article reflects that by using male pronouns. Also, "it" pronouns are offensive to the transgender community.

:Worst case scenario, we do something like [[Pokémon Black and White volume 1 (France)]], but I'd like to avoid that if we can.

== I'd like to just bring something to your attention for a moment ==

Okay, so there has been a {{u|From Beyond the Stars|new user}} going through the list of all redirects and "fixing" every single one alphabetically. The fix hasn't actually been looking at why the redirect may be used instead of the actual page name, and instead just replacing every single redirect simply because it is being used. I've already been hit with this situation because I have a few card pages beginning with punctuation marks, but this user has just made it to the pages beginning with A, which for your purposes are [[ABW01]], [[ABW02]], and so on. (You can see their contributions [[Special:Contributions/From_Beyond_the_Stars|here]].) I was just concerned about all of the ABW epicode changes to PS, because I honestly thought that if you wanted it done, it would have been done in February when the pages started getting moved. It also just seemed inappropriate to me for pages on [[Pokémon Black and White volume 2|the English]] releases of the manga using the Japanese epicode in favor over the English epicodes. (And especially awkward, as now [[Pokémon Black and White volume 4|this page]] says "Rounds included [[PS471]] - [[ABW13]]", which makes absolutely zero sense.) If you would prefer all the links everywhere to be the Japanese PS links, then ignore my message here. I just wanted to bring this to your attention because it does seem like an issue to me.

:Hi Nate, thanks for your message. The ABWXX epicode was only intended for use on a temporary basis, as the rounds had not yet been published in volume format in Japan yet we wanted to create articles for them. Due to the complexity of Adventures's current release in Japan, we didn't know how many rounds the {{chap|HeartGold & SoulSilver}} would be since it was stopped in magazines and that story was finished only in volume format. So we couldn't start {{chap|Black & White}} articles at PSXXX since we didn't know what number HGSS would stop at until the volumes came out. As the volumes are released, my goal is to transition all the ABWXX epicodes to PSXXX epicodes once we can confirm their sequence in Japan. I don't want to move the rest yet as we don't yet know if they will be compiled in a different sequence in the Japanese volumes (remember, Adventures is serialised in two or three different magazines, so it's confusing as all hell) so while pages like {{Vol|Pokémon Black and White|4}} look a little odd now it will eventually straighten itself out. So for articles like {{Vol|Pokémon Black and White|1}} and the respective rounds, which have all been moved, I'd like them linked to the Japanese round number but they'll still be listed on the volume page in the order they appeared as "Adventure 1" "Adventure 2" etc. Like how [[Electric Tale of Pikachu issue 2]] is really [[ET03]], it's still shown like that as it was the way it was released. Or like [[The Best of Pokémon Adventures: Red]] or [[Mysterious Mew]] and the like. Anyway, thanks for your concern, I'll keep an eye out for this and try to make it as least confusing as possible ^^' [[Special:Contributions/Zesty Cactus|--]][[User:Zesty Cactus|<span style="color:#006400">'''Zesty'''</span>]][[User talk:Zesty Cactus|<span style="color:#3CB371">'''Cactus'''</span>]] 20:43, 28 April 2013 (UTC)

==Pokémon Adventures Vol. 15==
I had an earlier idea that right next to that information I added about the cover art being different in the VIZ release that the picture of Pryce from the original back cover should be added just to show people what the original design of the back cover from Volume 15 looked like. Do you think this should be added? -[[User:Tyler53841|Tyler53841]] ([[User talk:Tyler53841|talk]]) 03:40, 15 May 2013 (UTC)
:Hmm considering the differences between the two covers, normally back cover artwork isn't needed, but that would be cool to aid understanding of the trivia.

== *Ahem* ==

So, what are we going to do about [http://archives.bulbagarden.net/wiki/File:Pok%C3%A9mon_the_Comic_cover.png this?] We can't assume it'll be put in volumes because [[PS268|there was a chapter that almost didn't make it]]. Since it's apparently a flashback to Red's training on Mt. Silver, it can take place anywhere. We can always move it to PSWhatever if it does get put into the volumes, but what kind of Epicode should I use? PSs? (You know, like [[PMRSs1|this]]). [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] ([[User talk:Ataro|talk]]) 00:20, 2 June 2013 (UTC)
:Yeah I would create it at {{red link|PSs1}} for now. I definitely don't think it should be at PSXXX unless it gets released as part of a volume, in which case we can move it then. The "side story" epicode works well as any future rounds like this can fall under the same epicode, like [[SS01]] and on for the anime.

== Character articles ==

If a character who appeared in every chapter of a long running manga, for example {{OBP|Red|Pocket Monsters}}, should the important stuff only get listed in their articles as content? I think Pokémon Pocket Monsters is the only long running manga to feature a character or two in every chapter.

== Name changes ==

I'm thinking of adding the two Unown Diamond and Pearl befriended with in Adventures to their pages. But there is a problem and so the question I need someone to answer to is this: What is the site's policy when a name changes in the middle of translation? The two Unown were named '''Mr. Relaxed''' (D) and '''Mr. Hasty''' (P) in the second VIZ volume but in the newest volume they're called '''Flaky''' and '''Grumpy''', respectively. Both should be mentioned but which names are the main ones? [[User: Ariano|Արիանո]] 11:57, 6 June 2013 (UTC)
:Generally when an official name is changed, the policy leans toward the most recent appearance: see [[Bell Tower]], {{ga|Ethan}} and [[Vincent]], for example. Considering they are minor characters, it could be confusing, but go with Flaky/Grumpy for now I suppose. (Be sure to mention the Relaxed/Hasty names in the description though) I haven't got the new volume yet ;__; if they make any future appearance or mention, we'll go with that for the sake of consistency, but for now we'll go with the most recent.

:::But what do we do with [[PS355|this page's]] "major events" section?

== Manga Pokemon debuts ==

Just making sure, but when a Pokemon should be listed under debuts when the Pokemon physically appears in a chapter, even if it isn't owned by a character or it's not the main focus of a chapter (for example, Gold runs through a forest, and there are a bunch of Pokemon shown that haven't been shown in chapters before).  Just wondering because I wanted to fix up debuts on manga pages, but I wanted to make sure I had it right. --[[User:Funktastic~!|<span style="color:#009900">'''It's'''</span> <span style="color:#CC66FF">'''Funktastic~!'''</span>]][[User talk:Funktastic~!|<sub><small><span style="color:#99CCFF">''話してください''</span></small></sub>]] 04:10, 8 June 2013 (UTC)

== New ==

Hello,
I am new to Bulbapedia (well, I've been using Bulbapedia for years, but I'm new to editing and the like), so sorry if this is the wrong place.
I saw that you made a discussion page for me, so thanks! But I would like to get a user page. Now, I read in the FAQ that I need to edit the mainspace enough to get a user page, but do you know around how much I need to edit it? Also, it says you can get banned from editing your user page if you edit it too much, but does it count if you make an edit, and then you just make a little edit to fix a spelling mistake or rephrase a sentence? And finally, I know this seems like a dumb question, but do you know how to make tildes on a British English keyboard? I tried looking it up in the past but with no luck. I'll just use copy and paste for now.
Thanks,
[[User:Amitai|Amitai]] ([[User talk:Amitai|talk]]) 17:17, 11 June 2013 (UTC)
:Dear Amitai, to create your userpage you must first become autoconfirmed. Becoming autoconfirmed is an automatic process by Bulbapedia's software based on a minimum number of edits to the mainspace (any page that doesn't begin in <code>User:</code>, <code>User talk:</code>, <code>Talk:</code> and other such prefixes) as well as a minimum tenure (length of time since you created your account). The specific requirements are a secret I cannot share with anyone, sorry. If you are looking for pages that need help, check out the {{bp|Editor's Hub}} as well as {{cat|Stubs}}, {{cat|Articles needing improvement}} and {{cat|Articles needing more information}}. There's lots of stuff to do here so I'm sure you'll find something! As for userspace limits, as you may have seen in the {{bp|Userspace policy}}, the limit to the number of user page edits you make per day is somewhat proportionate to the number of mainspace edits per day (check that link for more details). As a general idea, though, it's wise to preview your edits before saving to try and catch any mistakes beforehand, as multiple edits to any page causes extra stresses to our servers. You can do this by the "show preview" button right next to "Save page" or doing Alt+Shift+P on a Windows computer. Finally, unfortunately I don't know how to do tildes on a UK keyboard, as I live in Canada and I think ours are the same as in the US. :( what I recommend rather than copying and paste is you may notice above the editing window (where you add text in a page) there is a button "http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/skins/common/images/button_sig.png", clicking this will automatically add four tildes to the page. Hope this helps!

== Black 2 & White 2 page ==
Hey, sorry for the double-post (actually I'm not even sure if I should be apologizing for that since this isn't a forum) but do you think it's a good idea to create a Black 2 & White 2 page at this point? Imo, I think it should have been created months ago when the prologue came out (wait, why isn't there a page for that round, there's a page for the Red chapter rounds) since there was the B2W2 logo on there. At this point it's pretty much confirmed that the B2W2 chapter is real with the preview of the first non-prologue round but idk I don't feel comfortable creating a new page for B2W2 by myself and without your approval. Someone added a B2W2 section on the chapter listings section on the main page of Pokémon Adventures which I think should belong there and should stay at this point. Also, on the Black & White chapter page, I've been trying to edit the "followed by" section since a while ago but even on preview it just says "Unannounced". Does someone need to create a page for the follow-up chapter before it can be edited?

Oh and one more thing. Someone should probably create a page for the manga versions of Nate and Rosa (their names are Rakutsu and Fites which pretty much means Black2 and White2 with some reversions) and create a separate page for manga Hugh. I would but I'm not even sure what to call the article since no one "official" confirmed the English translations of their names and {{u|Ataro|I don't want to get my head chopped off}}. Just thought I'd run this by you. Thanks! [[User:Arceus101|Arceus101]] ([[User talk:Arceus101|talk]]) 01:36, 30 June 2013 (UTC)
:I have no idea why the prologue round wasn't made an article. It should be. Maybe because it's undecided what the round numbering will be? It'll probably be put in a volume once the BW chapter catches up do you think? For B2W2 and the new characters, you could create articles in the userspace for now (doesn't count against usual userspace limits) and we can move it when ready. I'll give you a more proper answer on those within a few days, I've been busy with work and I can barely think straight @_@ [[Special:Contributions/Zesty Cactus|--]][[User:Zesty Cactus|<span style="color:#006400">'''Zesty'''</span>]][[User talk:Zesty Cactus|<span style="color:#3CB371">'''Cactus'''</span>]] 23:34, 30 June 2013 (UTC)

== Timeline of events ==

Hey Zesty, I was wondering if it would be reasonable to create an article of a timeline of events in Pokémon Adventures (and possibly other long-running manga like Pokémon REBURST) especially since there's a lot to look through and it might be easier for readers to see everything in one whole page.

:Like [[Timeline of events in the anime]]? Seems perfectly reasonable to me. Some other longer series like [[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]] and [[Magical Pokémon Journey]] would be good too.
