== Your reversion on [[Iceberg Zone]] ==
You should not revert a whole edit that affects more than what you have issue with. I feel that since you have the problem, you should do the fixing up right, so I've reverted it (give or take a couple fixes/minor edits of my own) and you're free to add back in the colors (manually, instead of just reverting wholesale again, please). (Plus, I favor Lady Ariel's edit anyway: with the cells white, the table is brighter and more pleasant and it looks cleaner, as opposed to the dark colors for no needful reason.) [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 02:09, 1 July 2014 (UTC)
:...Okay, I'm half sorry. Upon double-checking it, it seems you didn't "just" revert Lady Ariel's edit. But you did still undo a whole lot of stuff that was completely unnecessary (the borders, the widths, the numbers, colspans, "color:"s). So I apologize for the mischaracterization. But still: please just add back/adjust the colors next time (/this time). [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 02:22, 1 July 2014 (UTC)

::Actually, I'm the highest authority on decisions regarding our gaming articles aside from the EiC and deputy so I actually ''can'' revert an entire edit if I disagree with it. That means neither you nor Lady Ariel have the power or the authority to make such a major change within my section without consulting me first, or at least discussing it. The white background looks bland and boring. The colors make it pop and it looks more appealing in my opinion. If you disagree, '''discuss it''', and we will put it up to a poll, but do not simply change it because it's what ''you'' want. That design has been there since the articles were written. You can't just suddenly up and decide to change it. <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>]] 02:57, 1 July 2014 (UTC)
:::I respect your authority where it deserves respecting. To wit: if you insist, I'll bend regarding the color scheme (I won't even argue it, mostly because I don't know how to do so strongly enough). But your authority does not extend to useless code like [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Iceberg_Zone&curid=121555&diff=2138940&oldid=2138932 all this]. ''That'' is the main reason I undid your edit; the color scheme was entirely secondary. I thought you had merely reverted the whole edit without much thought, and I wanted you to be more discriminate in fixing your issue. Though I shortly realized that you hadn't actually reverted the whole edit, it was too late. Sadly, you still reverted practically the whole of my reversion as well, even after I tried to make my main issue clear to you. (You'll notice I only discussed the color scheme parenthetically.) That means you either didn't realize that the parts I re-edited afterwards were bloat/bad form or you didn't care. I hope the answer is that you didn't realize.
:::All I'm really saying is that I expected better of you and hoped you ''would'' do better. For whatever reason, though, my hopes were betrayed and you didn't or weren't able to. Perhaps we can both do better next time... [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 04:00, 1 July 2014 (UTC)
== Bianca ==
I see you are the one responsible for proposing this whole mystery situation. Your reason, however, is vague. Based on your edit history, you had believed prior to contact that she was voiced by Ortiz like the rest and particularly rejected the concept of Jayne as a candidate. The way you removed Ortiz and go to such lengths suggests that your contact was with a proxy or Ortiz rather than one from Jayne. Therefore I ask you this: What exactly did your contact say?  More specifically, did it particularly state that Jayne was not the voice of Bianca despite the credit list (in other words, did it say that the credits themselves were incorrect)?
Do not think ill of me; I want only what's best. And what I'd like is to see is this triviality that has somehow inflated to this mass taken care of once and for all. [[User:Rosebr10|Rosebr10]] ([[User talk:Rosebr10|talk]]) 23:43, 5 July 2014 (UTC)
:I don't know about Jayne at all.

::I knew it. So then did you choose the "Unknown" label as an absolute defense rather than an indication of sheer ambiguity?

== The new spriteboxes and the previous generations ==
I really like the new sprite boxes! However, after looking through, I saw that many of them have the wrong Generation in the part where it says, 'This Pokémon was unavailable prior to Generation '. For example: [[Wingull (Pokémon)#Sprites|Wingull]] (Which has 'Gen' as the parameter name instead of 'gen'), [[Metagross (Pokémon)#Sprites|Metagross]], [[Oshawott (Pokémon)#Sprites|Oshawott]], [[Tepig (Pokémon)#Sprites|Tepig]], [[Chandelure (Pokémon)#Sprites|Chandelure]], and many, many more. I would edit it myself, but this seems to me like it needs some sort of bot or something, because they are so many and so random. - [[User:Mr. Flix|Mr. Flix]] | [[User_talk:Mr. Flix|Talk to me^^]] 08:45, 7 August 2014 (UTC)

== New articles ==
I've noticed that Bulbapedia is missing some articles on a few of the new locations in ORAS, so I created [[User:Aggron989/Nameless Cavern|two]] [[User:Aggron989/Pathless Plain|articles]] in my userspace as a draft. I haven't created a lot of new articles before, so I was wondering if you could tell me what is considered acceptable to put into the mainspace and what needs to get revised before it can go into the mainspace.

== Ability Variations ==
Hello. I'm wondering if Strong Jaw and Mega Launcher would count as variant abilities, like Snow Warning and Sand Stream, etc. They both have the same effect - increase the power of moves in a certain category by 50%, Strong Jaw for biting moves, Mega Launcher for aura and pulse moves. [[User:Drake Clawfang|Drake Clawfang]] ([[User talk:Drake Clawfang|talk]]) 22:37, 14 December 2014 (UTC)
:Yup, the two abilities definitely share similar effects! But for right now it looks like we're going to be focusing on cleaning up variant abilities. So don't do anything for now. But yes, we definitely agree with you that the two abilities are one and the same, just for two different types of moves. <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>]] 01:21, 15 December 2014 (UTC)

==Split for list of Mystery Dungeon characters==
I'm sorry if you aren't the person to bother on this, but since you're the Head of Games, I figured you'd be a good person to bring it up to.
The [[list of Mystery Dungeon characters]] currently covers four different sets of games. It makes more sense to me to split the page up into four different pages--one for each set of games. It'd also be easier to navigate since there wouldn't be so many different sections on one page. I brought it up on the talk page for the article, but no one has responded. I wouldn't be in such a rush, except I plan on doing quite a few edits to some Mystery Dungeon articles, and it would involve linking to this list. So if the page ''is'' going to be split, I'd rather it be before I make all of the edits so that I won't have to go back and fix all the links.
If you could get back to me, or direct me to someone else I should talk to, I'd appreciate it. [[User:Slimey01|<span style="color:#111111">'''slimey'''</span>]][[User talk:Slimey01|<span style="color:#AAAAAA">'''01'''</span>]] 02:37, 15 December 2014 (UTC)
== Pokémon Yellow PEGI Rating ==
I earlier interrupted what might have become an edit war to try to help figure out a solution to what was being edited.  After a [[User_talk:SatoMew2#The_comment_regarding_PEGI|friendly chat]], I made the call on how to mark Yellow for PEGI: unrated (I used N/A since it didn't exist at the time), and included a tooltip with the conflicting source listed as Pokémon UK, who claims it's rated.  I know nothing about PEGI other than being told it was created in 2003, which was after Generation II.
As the Head of Games (this article, obviously, is a game), can you please review the discussion and [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Pok%C3%A9mon_Yellow_Version&diff=2222389&oldid=2222196 my edit] and determine if anything further should be done in regards to this?  Other than contacting PEGI and getting official word from them, we have to go by the facts, I think.  Feel free to outdent the discussion if you choose to comment.  [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 05:06, 24 December 2014 (UTC)
:Just saw [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Pok%C3%A9mon_Yellow_Version&curid=1013&diff=2224303&oldid=2223679 this].  Thank you for making the call, appreciated. =)  [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 05:49, 28 December 2014 (UTC)
::Hello, I was actually the one who started the discussion. As you probably saw, those of us who were involved in the discussion came to a slightly different conclusion. Although I'll respect your final decision, I request that you read [[User_talk:SatoMew2#The_comment_regarding_PEGI|our discussion]] in order to see why we came to the conclusion we did.

== PokéDex entries/Game Locations ==
I would just like to ask for the PokéDex entries and Game Locations section in each individual "Species (Pokémon)" pages, for which games are supposed to be written in white or black texts. Some articles feature Omega Ruby with black text, while some others feature Omega Ruby in white text, same as for Alpha Sapphire, and maybe previous generations. Or either black or white text is acceptable? --[[User:Ruixiang95|Ruixiang95]] ([[User talk:Ruixiang95|talk]]) 14:49, 5 January 2015 (UTC)
:Hi, hopefully I can take this one, Jo.
:I'm already working on correcting this.  I asked [[User:ht14|ht14]] about this yesterday, who checked with [[User:Kogoro|the editor-in-chief]] and confirmed they are all to be white text.  I have gone ahead just yesterday and updated all Hoenn Pokémon pages - which as you note were all mixed up even there - to now all have white text.  This is the standard from what Kogoro says.  [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 14:52, 5 January 2015 (UTC)

== Making Pokémon Yellow's PEGI rating be "3" by default and mentioning where it is from. ==
Hello. I was actually the one who started [[User_talk:SatoMew2#The_comment_regarding_PEGI|the discussion you dealt with regarding Pokémon Yellow's PEGI rating]]. Those of us who were involved in the discussion came to a slightly different conclusion than you did; we thought that since PEGI's actual website—the "more official" source—lables it unrated, we should make that the default choice while also noting (e.g., by tooltip) the other source's "3" rating. Although I'll respect your final decision, I request that you read our discussion in order to see why we came to the conclusion we did (unless you did read it already). Thanks! (As you may notice, I basically already posted this in the [[User talk:Jo The Marten#Pokémon Yellow PEGI Rating|Pokémon Yellow PEGI Rating]] section above. I'm just re-posting this to make sure you got it.) —[[User:The Sackinator|The Sackinator]] ([[User talk:The Sackinator|talk]]) 17:14, 5 January 2015 (UTC)
== DexNav or hidden Pokémon ==
Need a consensus on whether is it DexNav or Hidden Pokémon on the Pokémon pages. --[[User:Ruixiang95|Ruixiang95]] ([[User talk:Ruixiang95|talk]]) 08:20, 11 January 2015 (UTC)

:::Just to tack on if this is OK, here's a [[User_talk:SnorlaxMonster#.22DexNav_Exclusive.22|related discussion]].  I would suggest that you never saw one until you received the DexNav, making them DexNav exclusive, but the arguments regarding not needing to actually load up DexNav to approach them carries weight here.  This would be a case where I have to agree to disagree.  [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 15:20, 11 January 2015 (UTC)
== Probably a dumb question ==
I'm a bit confused as to why Swords Dance and Barrier are considered variations to a lot of moves on [[Template:Amnesia]] but much less on [[Template:Agility]], which is the template used on their pages. It seems contradictory to me. Should those two be removed from the Acid Armor (template named Amnesia for some reason) variations? Or am I missing something obvious <small>again</small>? [[User:Nairbnroh|Nairbnroh]] ([[User talk:Nairbnroh|talk]]) 10:43, 23 January 2015 (UTC)
:I'm not sure to be honest, but I can say we're planning on completely reworking move variations and the like at some point.

== Morty's Gengar ==
I created the Morty's Gengar page on my [[User:Pattyman/Morty's Gengar|userspace]] not too long ago. Do you think it would be worthy enough for Gengar to have its own article because it appeared in the games, anime, manga (except for Pokémon Adventures but three manga appears to be enough), and TCG, and is Morty's signature Pokémon?

Because you are the Project Games leader, I want to show you my [[User:Pokéfan95/SpotPass|SpotPass]] article. I think it meets the notability requirements, and if [[StreetPass]] has its own article, so shouldn't [[SpotPass]] have one too? So, can it be mainspaced?

== Saving a Game ==
Pokemon Omega Ruby will be my first game, and the Saving article is a little unclear. Let's say the only pokemon I had was my starter and I made it to Petalburg Woods. Then I saved my game. The next day I caught 2 more pokemon and I wanted to save. Correct me if I am wrong, but since the game only allows one save file, then if I delete my first save file, what will happen? Will I lose my starter?  Or did I misread and you only have to delete a save file if you want to start over? Please help! I think we should add this info to make the article more clear.

==Addition to Data structure template==
A user [[Template_talk:Data_structure|suggested]] adding [[Character encoding in Generation III]] to [[Template:Data_structure|the data structure template]], but the suggestion seems to have gone unnoticed.
