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.

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]]).

Thanks for the tips! I'll keep these things in mind the next time I edit the mainspace.

==ANN Article==
Here is a small article from Anime News Network (http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2013-06-22/pokemon/black-and-white-manga-ends-but-more-is-coming) which confirms the Black and White Chapter of Pokémon Adventures is ending in Japan soon along with some other useful information regarding of when they'll preview the following chapter for the Pokémon Adventures series that will succeed Black and White. -[[User:Tyler53841|Tyler53841]] ([[User talk:Tyler53841|talk]]) 02:54, 24 June 2013 (UTC)
:Excuse me, Zesty, but I need to clarify something. It isn't ending, it ended, and we've known it was going to end since last month. And they aren't previewing the following chapter, they're previewing the last chapter that just came out. [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] ([[User talk:Ataro|talk]]) 03:22, 24 June 2013 (UTC)
== Volume 44 ==
Since, unlike {{u|Arceus101|some people}}, you actually have the volume, would you mind adding the missing titles and subtitles for Pokemon Adventures volume 44 plus some chapter covers? [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] ([[User talk:Ataro|talk]]) 03:39, 28 June 2013 (UTC)
:Hi Ataro, I can confirm the titles no prob. The subtitles will be hard for me to add on my own since I don't know much Japanese (and they're in kanji. there is hiragana above the kanji which i can take a stab at but i am a n00b haha and we should probably have the kanji anyway, since that's how it was done for volume 43) ~alternatively~ i can scan the subtitles if we have someone else who can translate them better. I can do chapter cover scans, but what would you like compared to what we have from the magazine version? you've probably seen the volume title pages, it's just this silhouette of Zekrom and Reshiram and it's like "THE TENTH CHAPTER" and looks the same on every round. u_u i usually prefer the title pages (like in [[ET01]] and like every other manga page I ever did) but that's boooring if we use these ones haha. so would you like the VIZ magazine version scans replaced with idk the first page after the title page? or what. i dunno. i don't mind doing scans though :D [[Special:Contributions/Zesty Cactus|--]][[User:Zesty Cactus|<span style="color:#006400">'''Zesty'''</span>]][[User talk:Zesty Cactus|<span style="color:#3CB371">'''Cactus'''</span>]] 14:47, 28 June 2013 (UTC)
::Also when the VIZ Media volume 43 comes out next week. I think we should redo the opening sentence how the titles are laid out. it is messy as hell and confusing :S but since the book comes next week (I should be getting it next Wednesday) we'll wait til it's out to see if those titles are different again before we redo them, but just saying.

:::Yes, scanning the subtitles would be nice. I'm sort of good enough to be able to translate the kanji. That, or you could ask Chao for it. As for the chapter covers, yeah, a panel from the first page would be nice instead of the Reshiram/Zekrom thing. Next week? Wow, almost forgot.

::::Ok, great. I will just finish the titles for now since I will have to go to work soon. When I'm home tonight, I'll do the scans.

== 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)
::I never made a page for it because unlike the Mt. Silver chapters, there's no reason to assume that it won't be in a volume. I have a page for the two in the works, but I protected them from being made because I don't want people making them when we had little to no info. Now that we do have info, they're ready to go, but...since the likelihood of anyone in this franchise ever having the same name as them is very low...should they have (Adventures) suffix like all the other Pokedex holders? [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] ([[User talk:Ataro|talk]]) 22:33, 2 July 2013 (UTC)
:::Ah, that's what I figured, if it's likely to go in a volume then it'll get numbered once those other rounds are volume-ified and created then. I don't think that we need (Adventures) at the end if the name is so unlikely to be shared. Otherwise we'd have like "Blasty (Adventures)" instead of just "[[Blasty]]", right?

== 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.

::::::::At the moment, do you think it's safe to presume that DP takes place three years after HGSS and that BW takes place three years after Platinum? There is evidence suggesting that the DP trio were four when GSC was taking place and if one assumes that Looker got the Plasma sages mission approximately the same time as the B2W2 prologue where Ghetsis was getting the Plasma sages started on their deeds, which was five years prior to the current setting of B2W2, then that places Platinum three years before BW. I know that these are just assumptions (albeit backed up by evidence), even the History of the Pokemon World page is mostly based on assumptions and there is the template above the page that states it. I doubt that the Pokemon Adventures timeline can be 100% completed with all 100% certain facts so should we add strongly suggested presumptions to the page? What do you think, Zesty? [[User:Arceus101|Arceus101]] ([[User talk:Arceus101|talk]]) 20:18, 15 July 2013 (UTC)
(resetting indent) Additional notes... a couple of questions now that it has been mainspaced... how/where should I place [[PSs1]] and [[PSs2]]? Also, considering we have [[Timeline of Ruby and Sapphire's 80-day challenge|this article]] already, would it be redundant if I were to have all that information again or should I instead use the {{template|main}} template?

:I would double-check with {{u|Ataro}} for the special rounds since he is more familiar with them... as far as I know they take place sometime after the {{chap|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}. Ah, I forgot about that 80-day timeline article! It's pretty big on its own and seems to be fairly complete including other storyline events (rather than just listing Badges and Ribbons) so I would use {{template|Main}}. Any other significant events can be added to either article. I think those assumptions are fine considering they are backed by evidence, though when adding them I would be sure to state "this chapter takes place approximately [years] after other!chapter, supported by the evidence of blahblahblah" and make sure that it's known it's approximate, rather than explicitly stated. Other than that everything seems good I think.

::Alright thanks Zesty. And sorry but one more question. This may or may not be for future reference but at the beginning of the timeline page, it lists how many years prior to the series the main characters (among others) were born. But what should we do about the characters that were born either at or after the series started? If BW indeed takes place three years after Platinum, then do the math and that places Blacks birthdate (and White's too, most likely) at the same time the series started. And assuming that Rakutsu and Faitsu are 14 in B2W2 and also assuming that the chapter is two years after BW just like in the games, that means that Rakutsu and Faitsu were born two years AFTER the start of the series. And if future chapters aren't prequels and if the main characters of those chapters are kids, then that will pose an even bigger problem. So what should we do about that? Should we add a template right before the chapter where the character is assumed to be born and add it there? For example, Black was born around the same time as the RGB chapter so right before the timeline of the first chapter? And for Rakutsu and Faitsu, since they were born at around the Yellow chapter, we list their births right before the Yellow chapter timeline?

== That stupid template. ==
[http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Template:AdvChapterInfobox OK, I don't know who made this thing, but it doesn't seem to work.] Ever. I can't add Black 2 & White to the Black & White chapter page without it doing nothing by still saying that it's "unannounced". I also still can't get it to display the first and last chapters of HeartGold & SoulSilver. It was the same with Platinum, until Werd tinkered with the stupid thing and got it to work...for that. Also, are there even colors for Black 2 & White 2? All I get is the base green color. [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] ([[User talk:Ataro|talk]]) 18:20, 3 July 2013 (UTC)
:There is {{template|Black 2 color}} and {{Template|White 2 color}} - I would've made them without a space if it was me, but eh, there they are. That template is a pain in the butt. u_u I can try to figure it out later tonight or maybe ask Werd if he can help again.

== Important events, evolutions, badges obtained, etc. etc. for recent volumes ==
Like the title implies, someone should probably add those in for the recent volumes. I would do it myself but I kinda only know the general info for Pokemon Adventures and I'm too busy to go through all the volumes again so I'm probably not the guy. Since you're the leader of Project Manga, are you able to do it? If you're too busy, then I understand. I can try to make time to go through the volumes again to locate the key points if you want me to. [[User:Arceus101|Arceus101]] ([[User talk:Arceus101|talk]]) 20:36, 3 July 2013 (UTC)
:I will do it eventually. It really needs to be done. It's a little low on my priorities list but I'll get to it eventually if nobody else does XD [[Special:Contributions/Zesty Cactus|--]][[User:Zesty Cactus|<span style="color:#006400">'''Zesty'''</span>]][[User talk:Zesty Cactus|<span style="color:#3CB371">'''Cactus'''</span>]] 01:51, 5 July 2013 (UTC)
== The owner of the Amoonguss ==
About the Amoonguss that knocked out Bianca, can we be sure that that Pokemon belonged to a Team Plasma grunt? When I read the chapter, it sure looked like Bronius was controlling it. Also, in the chapter where the regular trainers were battling the Plasma sages, one of them were controlling an Amoonguss. Can't it be assumed that Bronius was controlling that Amoonguss so therefore in the earlier chapter where the Plasma grunts were kidnapping the Pokemon in Celestia City, that one belonged to him? Idk who got the assumption that the Amoonguss belonged to a Team Plasma grunt but I'm pretty sure that it's wrong. What do you think? [[User:Arceus101|Arceus101]] ([[User talk:Arceus101|talk]]) 19:54, 7 July 2013 (UTC)
:Hmm. I reviewed that round and it really looks to me that the Amoonguss belongs to Bronius... I suppose the assumption came from the fact that Bronius tells the Plasma grunt that he blew his chance to steal Litwick, insinuating that he originally controlled Amoonguss when they attacked Bianca. However that is just an assumption and the Amoonguss seems more clearly associated with Bronius, especially since Black calls for Amoonguss's Trainer to reveal themself and Brav leads Black to Bronius first. In addition to the evidence you mentioned from later it seems more likely to assume it is in Bronius's ownership rather than the Plasma grunt's. Unless the Plasma grunt was shown in the flashback with Amoonguss (which didn't happen) then there's no reason to assume they are together. Bronius seems a lot more likely to me.

== [[Lucy's Seviper]] ==
This anime Pokémon page clearly does not meet the requirments to be given its own page, however reading the Manga section of the page and assuming you use simaliur guildlines, I think the page could be kept but as a part of progect manga. As the head of Progect Manga, this is completely up to you.

:This is a tricky article as the character appears across several media (games, anime, manga). The Adventures section alone seems to qualify it as notable, plus it's backed by the [[Pokémon Battle Frontier]], anime, and game information. As far as the governing project I would honestly have no idea, other cross-canon characters like [[Whitney's Miltank]] seem to be under Project Anime... honestly, I'd rather put it under {{bp|Project CharacterDex}} if anything, since there's an idea floating around with the other staff to make CharacterDex cover characters as a whole, not just game characters (and Seviper is a game character anyway so yeah).

== Pokémon Infobox ==
Would articles for any of these be suitable: Emerald's Dusclops, Sudowoodo, Black's Brav, Costa{{tt|*|to be fair, I'm not sure if this will qualify since I haven't fully read the BW arc yet}}, Platinum's Lopunny, the legendary beasts (at the very least Suicune and Raikou), and Silver's Rhyperior? I do have arguments for each{{tt|*|again, besides Black's Pokémon}} Pokémon listed if you're curious.

:Brav should get an article for sure I think. Dusclops and Sudowoodo is your call since I'm not too familiar with the Emerald arc. Costa I'm leaning towards "no" for now. I'd say no to Lopunny cause it wasn't in many battles... Rhyperior I'm leaning towards yes though. For the legendary beasts, I'd say it's probably notable for a combination article (something like {{red link|Legendary beasts (Adventures)}}).

== Xerneas Sprite ==
Hello there. I came across a few websites and found an official Xerneas sprite for X and Y: http://images.wikia.com/pokemon/images/b/b9/Xerneas_Sprite.png However, I'm not sure if it is the '''actual''' sprite, and also not sure how to upload it onto this website. Should we consider adding it to [[Xerneas (Pokémon)|Xerneas]]' page? Thanks! --[[User:HJ13|HJ13]] ([[User talk:HJ13|talk]]) 20:04, 21 July 2013 (UTC)
:If you want to upload a picture, here is the [http://archives.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Special:Upload link] to do so, though I would get the picture from a better source than Wikia. — [[User:Reshi643|<span style="color:#7038F8">Reshi</span>]][[User talk:Reshi643|<span style="color:#F08030">643</span>]] 20:29, 21 July 2013 (UTC)
::I would recommend confirming that it is indeed the official sprite before uploading it - I don't personally know yet, sorry!
