::Yeah, I imagine that ripping the stuff out of 3D PMD games would be a nightmare, especially because unlike Gen IV they don't have a built-in orthographic camera that you can hack the game to use (I'm pretty sure that's how they got all of the views of the Gen IV places). I don't know very much about Rescue Team, but Explorers has quite a lot of these special floors (and even more in Sky, too...). Just curious: how did you get them? Did you take multiple screenshots and stitch them together, or go into the game files? Thanks anyway. -- ''[[User:Ben79487|<span style="color:#400000">Ben</span>]][[User talk:Ben79487|<span style="color:#000040">79487</span>]]'' 17:31, 4 December 2020 (UTC)

:::I don't think you even need the orthographic camera, I don't remember Rescue Team or Explorers using any form of pseudo 3D. The maps are from a certain romhacking project that is credited in the file description (at least in some files, will have to recheck everything and add where it's missing).

== Slumber Trap PSMD Redirect Issue ==
Hello, apologies for intruding. You seem to have been redirecting the PSMD trap images to have spaces between their different components. However, you made an error in redirecting the Slumber Trap image and then double-redirected it to the one you wanted. This has caused an issue, because now the original (SlumberTrapSMD.png) is broken on every page it was on, rather than actually redirecting. I am not able to fix it, so as the one who broke it, I wish to ask you to fix the redirect from File:SlumberTrapSMD.png to File:Slumber Trap SMD.png. Thank you. - [[User:MiraiMeowstic|MiraiMeowstic]] ([[User talk:MiraiMeowstic|talk]]) 07:39, 22 January 2021 (UTC)
== Anime series sections ==
Hey, I created a proposal of adding series sections in the articles for Pokémon species. For instance, adding "Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl", "Pokémon the Series: Black & White", etc. sections in {{p|Pikachu}}.
This is being discussed here: [[Bulbapedia talk:Editor's Hub#Pokémon pages with anime series sections]]. --[[User:Daniel Carrero|Daniel Carrero]] ([[User talk:Daniel Carrero|talk]]) 13:34, 9 March 2021 (UTC)
== Formula conversions ==
I noticed you've done a lot formula conversions, some of either lost or will soon lose the ability to be compared to the previous version(s). Just wanted to make you aware that arithmetics work a little differently when constrained by hardware. For example, the fourth root isn't necessarily the square root of the square root, and multiplication isn't ''quite'' commutative (such as due to operating on integers, or potential overflows). Whenever I edited formulae in the past, I very deliberately used the proper division sign when I did, rather than a fraction. I'd appreciate if you could (retroactively) make sure that you didn't unintentionally alter any formulae. Thanks.
And when I'm already here, I think I can also explain my OHKO edits. You can either think of move accuracies as "Tackle has 100% accuracy" (A) or "Tackle has 100 accuracy" (B); note that the percantage sign isn't actually being used in-game. That means that, if whatever the accuracy calculation yields is somewhere between 1 and 100, you can add a percantage sign (A) or omit it (B). However, in math a percentage sign reads as "over 100", so if the calculation is in the hundreths already, you need to "artificially" multiply by 100 (either way) to get accuracies in the expected range. (I remember seeing Tiddlywinks explain this way better somewhere a long time ago.) [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 17:46, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
:Fair enough, if you want to fix the formulas back you can do that. Though the % versus 100% is... the pages being inconsistent, because Sheer Cold didn't multiply it by 100%. [[User:Eridanus|Eridanus]] ([[User talk:Eridanus|talk]]) 18:11, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
::Ok then, as for where images haven't already been deleted, I can try.
::As for Sheer Cold, plug in some levels and you end up at around 50, as should be (same for the other moves' current formulas). Plug in some levels for the GenII thing (without multiplying by 100, that is) and you'll end up 0.50. You should multiply by 100, it's correct. (I mean, you can go ahead and suggest or change something for the better.. but it was correct before your edit, and not after, that's what I'm saying.)

== Treecko's Double Kick ==
Woops, I forgot females cannot pass down moves by breeding to other species outside their evolutionary families. --'''''[[User:Bfdifan2006|<font color="turquoise">Bfdifan2006</font>]]'''''<sub>[[User talk:Bfdifan2006|<font color="lime">something to say?</font>]] · [[Special:Contributions/Bfdifan2006|<font color="orange">My work documentation</font>]]</sub> 11:31, 20 August 2021 (UTC)
:Well at least Treecko gets the move in the end. I believe {{p|Murkrow}} has an unused Egg Move in USUM, because the only compatible species that learns the move is {{p|Vullaby}}, which is female-only. [[User:Eridanus|Eridanus]] ([[User talk:Eridanus|talk]]) 11:34, 20 August 2021 (UTC)
== Link templates ==
It's good that you're adding additional info on the FireRed and LeafGreen rematches, but please be aware that you can use link templates to make the links easier to write and not be redirect. For example, {{template|pkmn}} and {{template|i}} could useful. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 12:29, 8 January 2022 (UTC)

== Events ==
Just wanted to say, the reason the ranger Manaphy Egg counts as an event is because Ranger Net itself is a pseudo-mystery gift function used in the ranger series. Also the Pokémon ranger game card itself is physically limited to 1 Manaphy Egg per Pokémon ranger game cart, to get more than that you physically need a second copy of the game or you have to physically modify the internal game files with illegal 3rd party tools. Lugia/Ho-oh on gamecube are Pokémon that you catch during the story of their respective games and you can just farm more of by starting a new save file, they are no different from any other in-game legendary.

== Wally and Super Potions ==
Does Wally really have 2 Super Potions in Mauville City in Pokemon Emerald? I tested this, and for no reason did he use Super Potions, or is there any special way he uses them?. [[User:NeoCrimson|NeoCrimson]] ([[User talk:NeoCrimson|talk]]) 17:05, 13 March 2022 (UTC)

==Edit Attempt==
Hello, I was trying to edit a page, [[Moves not in the Pokémon games/In the TCG/Sword & Shield Series]], and in my edit I was trying to remove moves that were already in previous expansions, as is the norm with all the other pages of other TCG Series, but the page blocked my edit with something called "Vandal Filter 2." The notification told me to tell an active administrator of what I'm trying to do with the page. I'm not trying to vandalize the page, and I've already made several contibutions to it. I tried reaching out to another administrator, but I only realized later that the user hasn't been on for a while. Do you know how to allow my edit to go through? Thanks.

== Gen IX Egg moves ==
Hi Eridanus,
I've noticed you adding onto the breeding tables for Gen IX, thanks, and thanks to everyone else also helping out in that area (it's quite time consuming), I made a section [[Talk:Egg Move#Gen IX Egg Moves|here]] a while ago regarding parents passing on moves in Scarlet and Violet. I was wondering if you have an opinion?

==Need help for editing permission==
Good morning (or evening) Eridanus, I was wondering if I would edit [[List of Pokémon Journeys: The Series episodes]] and other pages in the near future. This is because of [https://twitter.com/Blast_Chance/status/1712203507682410769 my Twitter confession with another user that made me create how I wanted Journeys titles to be]. If you would help me out, it would be much appreciated. Remember that I'm doing these edits for just Twitter purposes and I think these dub titles would be much better than the original dub titles that were announced. Thanks.

== Ingo & Emmet Multi Train 21st battle ==
Hi Eridanus,
You edited the pages for [[Ingo]] and [[Emmet]] a while ago to add Nature and EV info to their teams. In doing so, you changed their team for the 21st consecutive battle on the Multi Train to use Crustle instead of Garbodor, which {{u|Storm Aurora}} found as an error. I'm guessing you meant to copy/paste the info for Ingo's Garbodor instead of his Crustle from his Single Train battle? Can you confirm if that's correct?
Thanks  --[[User:Apopheniac|Apopheniac]] ([[User talk:Apopheniac|talk]]) 18:03, 2 December 2023 (UTC)
== Crispin Freeman ==
I think the English voice actor for [[Friede]], [[Crispin Freeman]], deserves his own Bulbapedia page (especially since he was one of the adapters for the English dub of the first few seasons of the 4Kids run). [[User:MrWii000|MrWii000]] ([[User talk:MrWii000|talk]]) 03:42, 17 December 2023 (UTC)
