== About the Leader ==

Will this project have a leader? --Alexsummer 03:18, 18 August 2012 (UTC)
:As Project Pokedex is central to the entire wiki, the project is too important for a leader. It is overseen by the Editorial Board.

== Sugimori Ken's Artwork ==

I think it was a good idea to replace the FireRed/LeafGreen artworks to the Red/Blue artworks (in the case of Generation I Pokémon). So I was thinking about you guys placing a section on every Pokémon to put Sugimori Ken's atwork of every game they appeared. Sorry if it looks too pushy XD.
PS¹: I call Sugimori Ken because it's the Japanese way to say his name.
PS²: I'm Brazilian, so sorry if my English is a little (or too) bad.--[[User:Deruffy|Deruffy]] ([[User talk:Deruffy|talk]]) 21:16, 1 September 2012 (UTC)

== PokémonInfobox - Artwork/Image size? ==

I'm new to Bulbapedia, so I apologize if this is addressed elsewhere, but anyway...

Someone in the [[Talk:Karrablast_(Pokémon)]] page pointed out that [[Karrablast]]'s image seems a bit big. Out of curiosity, I checked a few other pages and noticed some inconsistency in the size of the Sugimori art on the Pokémon pages; e.g., [[Karrablast]] (200x308), [[Shelmet]] (180x168), [[Accelgor]] (180x162), and [[Escavalier]] (200x244) -- Should the larger images be scaled down to 180px? Is there a standard already for this? Thanks. -- [[User:GranoblasticMan|GranoblasticMan]] ([[User talk:GranoblasticMan|talk]]) 17:02, 14 November 2012 (UTC)

== Xerneas and Yveatal ==
Is anyone going to create these pages? Just revealed at http://www.pokemon.com/pokemonxy/en-us/ {{unsigned|Plusleminun311312}}

== Game data location ==
Why is "Game data" below "In the anime/manga/TCG/TFG" sections? All of those are based on the games. Other articles always have their "In the games" section before their "In the anime/manga/TCG/TFG" sections. This is without commenting on the comparative usefulness of "Game data" sections to the users browsing this site. [[User:Yvnr|Yvnr]] ([[User talk:Yvnr|talk]]) 13:35, 13 April 2013 (UTC)

== Biology section problems ==
The Biology sections are all too free-form as of now. I think this can be changed by sourcing every line of information included in them, through the use of cite notes. This would rid the sections of baseless information, and make clear when information is exclusive to portrayals in the anime (or other non-main series game sources), which is appropriate given the large difference between the sources. [[User:Yvnr|Yvnr]] ([[User talk:Yvnr|talk]]) 13:35, 13 April 2013 (UTC)
:[http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Tynamo_(Pokémon)&diff=1887589&oldid=1887476 This Tynamo article edit] is an example of what I have in mind. Its implications on this particular article's previous/current content are small, but it will serve to prevent future additions of baseless information, while organizing where the information comes from. What can be achieved through such sourcing should be clear if you imagine its application to a Biology section like that of the Ivysaur article. Given the nature of Bulbapedia's Biology sections, which I'd argue differ significantly from other site content in terms of what gets past the radar, I think sourcing is in place. Thoughts? [[User:Yvnr|Yvnr]] ([[User talk:Yvnr|talk]]) 15:02, 15 April 2013 (UTC)
::Speaking as someone who has been repeatedly vexed by wondering whether new accounts are making things up or adding legitimate info from anime/manga/side games that I haven't seen/read/played, I think this is a fantastic idea, and fully endorse it. (As a side note -- and not to disrupt the main point of discussion or steal its spotlight -- it might also be nice to implement citations for cases in which a primary source such as a game or movie is not yet available to the public, especially when the info is not easily accessible in English; see, for example, my confusion about New Tork City on the talk page for Genesect Army. But that's a suggestion for somewhere else, not Project Pokedex.) [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 06:34, 19 April 2013 (UTC)

== External links to strategy pages ==

Every species article has an external link, or several, in its top infobox, to its web page(s) at smogon.com. Assuming that this is (A) desired, and (B) done for the game data information (Abilities, base stats, moves learned) included on those pages, and not for the strategic advice (this is an encyclopedia) it is linking directly to, I suggest adding a "/moves" at the end of the smogon.com URLs included in the templates named "Template:Links/<number of generation>". This would link to a page with all the game data information, and game data information only, instead of a page with only some of the game data and a whole lot of strategic advice. I do not have permission to edit these template pages myself. There's also the issue of the links to strategy pages awkwardly cluttering up the "External links" sections of articles such as Deoxys's and Rotom's - why have these? [[User:Yvnr|Yvnr]] ([[User talk:Yvnr|talk]]) 09:56, 25 June 2013 (UTC)
:I disagree here. The point of linking to Smogon is that as an encyclopedia we don't provide strategic advice, but Smogon does. As we are affiliated with Smogon to some extent, we're also supporting their site. I don't see the point in linking to the moves page on Smogon over the general strategy page, as we already provide the moves info; the purpose of the link is to provide additional information we don't and shouldn't as an encyclopedia. As for Deoxys and Rotom, I think it would be better to put all the external links in the infobox with the others. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 10:04, 25 June 2013 (UTC)
::Then assumption B was completely off. I didn't think this was the intention, nor was I aware of any affiliation - care to explain it? As for your reservation towards linking for the sake of (mirroring) game data information, I thought this was a plausible explanation (at least more than strategic advice) since that's essentially what Bulbapedia does with its external links to sites such as veekun.com and legendarypokemon.net. Maybe I'm misunderstanding some overall crediting process/affiliation due to being unaware of how Bulbapedia editors other than myself obtain the information they add to articles of species, moves, Abilities, etc. Anyway, the statement "''The point of linking to Smogon is that as an encyclopedia we don't provide strategic advice, but Smogon does.''" is empty without explaining why an encyclopedia needs anything to do with strategic advice in the first place. Sure, a reader may want strategic advice about the Pokémon whose article they're reading, but they may also wish to discuss/look at fan-made drawings of/read fiction about/eat cookies shaped like/etc. that Pokémon; all of which are services Bulbapedia doesn't link to sites that provide. As for Deoxys and Rotom (along with Wormadam, Giratina and Shaymin), I have now brought this up and can do little more than hope others will fix it. [[User:Yvnr|Yvnr]] ([[User talk:Yvnr|talk]]) 11:06, 25 June 2013 (UTC)
:::Well, recently the Bulbapedia Twitter put out a question asking people what they wanted from Bulbapedia, and one of the things they specified was that they wanted competitive information. As an encyclopedia we can't really provide that, but Smogon is considered the go-to site for that, and the link allows people to obtain competitive information without Bulbapedia having to worry about subjective content (Smogon does all the worrying about that). Veekun has information that Bulbapedia does not always necessarily have (particularly cries and the "Ridiculously detailed breakdown" of locations). As for the nature of our affiliation with Smogon... I'm not entirely sure about that myself; affiliation has always been messy, and there is currently an effort to clean it up. There were plans to remove LegendaryPokemon.net links altogether. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 13:17, 25 June 2013 (UTC)

== Mega Evolutions ==

As the games are knocking at our door already, we must think about the Mega Evolutions. If we're going to keep only the standard pokémon pages and add the Mega info at them, the infoboxes will be a little problem, easily solved by creating the templates "Mega Types" (typem) and "Mega Ability" (abilitym). But my opinion is that we create new pages for every new Mega Evolution and put the links in the first line of the Standard Pokémon, with some statement visible at far ("This pokémon goes Mega", with the link placed in the term "Mega", or "This pokémon goes Mega: Mega?????", with the link placed in the Mega??????, 'coz Mewtwo already have 2 Mega forms, so we could list the forms and put a link for each one). What do all of you think? --[[User:Subzerobrasil|Subzerobrasil]] 06:49, 29 September 2013 (UTC)
:First of all, new comments go on the bottom. Second, the staff are already working on this. Third, no. Mega-Evolved Pokemon will not be getting their own pages. They are not new Pokemon and as such, don't need them. [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] ([[User talk:Ataro|talk]]) 07:08, 29 September 2013 (UTC)

== Type Effectiveness ==

==Pronunciations==

I have discussed the topic of adding pronunciations to the Bulbapedia Pokedex, and have received negative(not mean just not fond of the idea) feedback from the 
Administrator [[User:Force Fire]]. I understand that it seems almost impossible to do this, considering that there are many conflicting Pokemon name pronunciations 
within the anime, but by using official licensed Nintendo Pokedex books with pronunciations like: "The Official Pokemon Handbook" from 1998 concerning the original 
151+Togepi, '''and''' by acknowledging the most common pronunciations(that word is in here a lot...) from the multiple anime series, I believe that it could be accomplished 
from joint efforts from Bulbapedia members. If any Admins or members don't like this idea or love it, please respond in this post. -[[User:WilliWonka.|<span style="color:#00FF00">WilliWonka.</span>]] 03:54, 27 February 2014 (UTC)

== Hongkongian names ==

There are two things I really hope to point out.
# The Hongkongian names are supposed to be accurate. But the Romanization is not standardized. Sometimes it is using diacritics and sometimes completely non-notated with any accent. I really want to know if I am allowed to join up and fix them with consistent standards. There are at least 4 standards: Yale Diacritic, IPA Diacritic, Jyutping with numbers and plain letters. If we take Bulbasaur as an example, the 4 different notations are respectively:
## Yale: Kèijizúngzí
## IPA: K̖eijìzǔngzĭ
## Numberings: Kei4 Ji6 Zung2 Zi2
## Plain letters: Keijizungzi
## In Bulbapedia now: Gēiyihjungjí
# When the first generation of the Pokémon was out, Hong Kong was still under the British rule (year of handover: 1997). Instead of the red flag with a strange ventilating fan, we used the Blue flag with Union Jack and the Coat of Arms for Hong Kong. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Flag_of_Hong_Kong_1959.svg] I think if we change all the flags pertaining to Hong Kong back to this blue flag, it will be more correct historically. It should apply to the First Generation only.

== Trainer ownership ==

Can we list the opponent trainers that have the Pokémon? For example, Rattata was used by Youngster Joey on {{rt|30|Johto}} in Gold, Silver, Crystal, HeartGold and SoulSilver. Can we have some trainer table listing the trainers that used the Pokémon? I'll make a [[User:SeanWheeler/Trainer use]] in my userspace.

== Out of date... ==

I'm not sure if I should edit this project page, or how much, but the Pokemon infobox and availability examples in the [[Bulbapedia:Project Pokédex#Infoboxes|infoboxes section]] appear to be out of date.

== Sprite Sections ==

I want to help with the sprite sections on new Pokémon. How do I find sprite pictures to add to the chart and how do I add them in? At this point I'm just practicing using the preview button (without saving), but I'd like to eventually add a full section. Can anyone offer me some advice?

==Serebii's Info==
[http://www.serebii.net Serebii] has info about the new 6th gen. legendaries (Volcanion, Hoopa) that we don't have. Are we legally, or by Bulbapedia's rules, allowed to add it here? I would gladly create new pages for the Pokémon and their moves.

== Pokémon Cries ==

While browsing about the Web, I noticed that PokéWiki (the German equivalent of Bulbapedia), which is a part of "Encyclopædiæ Pokémonis", has Pokemon cries in their Pokédex.  I thought it was a great feature and an important part of each Pokémon species.  My question is: Can something like that be done here?  And if so: Can we use the cries from PokéWiki?

[[User:FoggyMoor|FoggyMoor]] ([[User talk:FoggyMoor|talk]]) 02:01, 13 August 2014 (UTC)
:[http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Bulbapedia_talk:Project_Pok%C3%A9dex/Archive_3#Sound This has been brought up before], the main reason why we don't have the cries is because it kinda screwed with the server. Though that was then, not sure if the server can handle it today. It's just something that was just put off and consequently forgotten.--[[User:Force Fire|<span style="color:#025DA6">'''F'''</span><span style="color:#5A96C5">orce</span>]][[User talk:Force Fire|<span style="color:#EA1A3E">'''F'''</span><span style="color:#F16A81">ire</span>]] 03:19, 13 August 2014 (UTC)

:I would be very much in support of that. I think it would be convenient and remove the need for cross-referencing pages when transferring Pokemon to later generations.

== Pokédex Number for certain Generation IV evolutions ==

This goes for any Generation IV evolution of a Pokémon in the Generation III Hoenn Pokédex: is there a way to remove the "000 in Generation III" from its Regional Pokédex Numbers? [[Froslass (Pokémon)|Here's an example.]] It's technically incorrect, as no data equating to any individual Generation IV evolution appears in the code of a Generation III game, and while potentially confusing, the biggest issue, to me, is that it is annoying. Of course, it won't be to everyone, so this should, by no means, be a priority, I was just wondering if it is possible to change this for these Generation IV evolutions. Surprisingly, at least to me, this is not an issue for [[Yanmega (Pokémon)|the]] [[Ambipom (Pokémon)|five]] [[Lickilicky (Pokémon)|Generation]] [[Tangrowth (Pokémon)|IV]] [[Mamoswine (Pokémon)|evolutions]] in the Johto Pokédex of HeartGold and SoulSilver.

== Alola Pokedex (USM) ==

A lot of (or all) Pokemon pages are missing their USM Alola Pokedex numbers. [[User:Sumwun|sumwun]] ([[User talk:Sumwun|talk]]) 03:00, 18 July 2018 (UTC)

== gen 3 learnset template ==

Gen 3 is the only gen that do not have separate row for pokemon with moveset changes (compare [[Charmander (Pokémon)/Generation III learnset|this]] with [[Cyndaquil (Pokémon)/Generation IV learnset|this]]). Therefore i had created the template for gen 3, and [[Bulbapedia:Sandbox#Testing for Gen 3 learnset template|it seems to be working fine]]. Would appreciate if an admin can review and mainspace the template if it is okay. thank you. -[[User:Pokeant|Pokeant]] ([[User talk:Pokeant|talk]]) 10:19, 27 February 2019 (UTC)
:The spacing is off due to the "move to mainspace" template, but everything else is okay before i add that template. -[[User:Pokeant|Pokeant]] ([[User talk:Pokeant|talk]]) 10:24, 27 February 2019 (UTC)
::Is there some way make the 2 columns not both red? [[User:Sumwun|sumwun]] ([[User talk:Sumwun|talk]]) 21:54, 27 February 2019 (UTC)
:::All the template uses the first version of the pair, such as the gen VII template which uses both the Sun and Ultra Sun color. So i just use Ruby and FireRed color. -[[User:Pokeant|Pokeant]] ([[User talk:Pokeant|talk]]) 04:18, 28 February 2019 (UTC)
:<small>(Response to initial talk)</small> Actually, there doesn't seem to be one for G2 either. It's far less noticeable though, there's maybe four or five Pokemon who got changes.

::didn't know someone already made the templates. But for deoxys, i don't think it is necessary, we can just stick to the current one where it is separated by forms, like the rest of the pokemon with forms -[[User:Pokeant|Pokeant]] ([[User talk:Pokeant|talk]]) 16:08, 4 March 2019 (UTC)

== Pokedex Entries from Pokemon GO ==

Should the Pokemon articles also include the Dex entries from Pokemon GO? The pages already include other side games such as for Stadium. [[User:TehPerson|TehPerson]] ([[User talk:TehPerson|talk]]) 17:39, 30 March 2019 (UTC)
: Unless I'm mistaken, thye're the same entries as in ORAS, so it's unlikely. --[[User:Spriteit|Spriteit]] ([[User talk:Spriteit|talk]]) 22:35, 30 March 2019 (UTC)

== Ability changes ==

The Pokemon infobox template needs some way to say that Pelipper can't have drizzle before Generation 7. Also last year, I said that Pokemon infobox templates are missing USUM Pokedex numbers, and nobody responded. Does nobody care about that problem? [[User:Sumwun|sumwun]] ([[User talk:Sumwun|talk]]) 18:21, 30 March 2019 (UTC)
: I'm not sure personally how to note that in Pelipper's infobox, however, regardings numbers. Sorry I didn't see your question last year but if you read the talk page on PokemonInfobox when you commented there with the same question that year, you'd find I had already answered the question twice on that page. USUM numbers won't be getting added to the infobox and in the (hopeful near) future, will be getting removed entirely, that's why we've been adding them to the Pokdex entry template. --[[User:Spriteit|Spriteit]] ([[User talk:Spriteit|talk]]) 22:35, 30 March 2019 (UTC)
::I can see two ways to solve Pelipper's Ability problem without much trouble, but maybe they will still need some work in the template's code. The first would be adding one of those "mouse scroll notes" (or whatever they are called), like this: [[Keen Eye (Ability)|{{color|000|Keen Eye}}]] or [[Drizzle (Ability)|{{color|000|Drizzle}}]]{{tt|*|Generation VII only}}. The other would be with the game's note: [[Keen Eye (Ability)|{{color|000|Keen Eye}}]] or [[Drizzle (Ability)|{{color|000|Drizzle}}]]{{sup/7|SM}}{{sup/7|USUM}}. Even though they are both a bit different from the usual setting we have for the Abilities in the infobox template, I think it wouldn't be a big issue, since this is an exceptional case. [[User:Suic12-|Suic12-]] ([[User talk:Suic12-|talk]]) 02:24, 31 March 2019 (UTC)
:::I think the first idea can work, but the second one would cause slightly ugly clutter. For example, Seadra's abilities would be listed as "Poison Point or Sniper{{sup/4|DPPtHGSS}}{{sup/5|BWB2W2}}{{sup/6|XYORAS}}{{sup/7|SMUSUM}}". A third possibility is putting changes under a horizontal line (segment) like what we already did on {{p|Gengar}} and {{p|Scolipede}}. [[User:Sumwun|sumwun]] ([[User talk:Sumwun|talk]]) 16:17, 31 March 2019 (UTC)
::::Well, I wasn't considering the abilities changed between generations III and IV, but if you take them into account, I agree that my second idea wouldn't work so well. The way it is done in Gengar's page could also work, but might cause some confusion since it would repeat one of the abilities but give no further explanation about the other, which is the one that was actually changed.

== Two things ==

# I would want to reword the sentence about unique base stat totals. Example (with {{p|Morpeko}}):
#* “Morpeko is the [[List of Pokémon with unique base stat totals|only Pokémon]] with a base stat total of 436”. - before rewording
#* “Morpeko's base stat total of 436 is [[List of Pokémon with unique base stat totals|unique]]”. - after rewording
# The staff icon for {{u|Jo The Marten}} wasn't updated on the page about this project.

== Transfer-only moves ==

I've drafted a template and compiled together info to begin displaying transfer-exclusive moves for each Pokémon in each generation. Eventually, I'd like the editorial board to have this available on the mainspace in each Pokémon's learset section, after any adjustments are made if necessary.
* [[User:TehPerson/Transfer-only moves (Generation VIII)|Transfer-only moves (Generation VIII)]]
* [[User:TehPerson/Transfer-only moves (Generation VII)|Transfer-only moves (Generation VII)]]

The template entries are generated via script, so creating accurate listings for all other generations can be done quickly. In the meantime, I can only say for certain the information I have is 99% complete. A few edge cases (mainly event-exclusive moves and cross-generational evolution) have not been accounted for, but should be few enough to edit into manually- if anyone spots anything missing or out of place, feel free to add these in.

== Adding Pokémon GO to side-series Game Locations ==

Since a lot of Pokémon in GO have special availability (e.g. raids only, Special Research, etc.), I think PoGO should have its own cell in the Game Locations section. [[User:TehPerson|TehPerson]] ([[User talk:TehPerson|talk]]) 20:54, 11 June 2020 (UTC)
