== Edit War (Signature Move) ==
Hey, can I ask you a question, what to do if there's an edit war between me and someone else (Luigifan)? [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Signature_move&action=history Here]--'''[[User:Team Rocket Grunt|<span style="color:#CC0000">Rocket</span> <span style="color:#666666">Grunt</span>]] ([[User talk:Team Rocket Grunt|<span style="color:#CCCCCC">Report To Me</span>]])''' 16:40, 19 March 2020 (UTC)
: Aside from grammar fix-ups, cases like this where it starts to be two or more users reverting or editing over each other, it should '''ALWAYS''' be discussed on the talk page of the article instead. Refusal to do so can lead to bans on here. Will be looking over the edits in question tomorrow morning, but in the future, rather than reverting each others' edits, please take it up on the talk page and discuss it from there. Thank you.

== Can't create my own user page ==
Hi Frozen Fennec! Thanks for letting me know about the guidelines concerning talk pages and user pages. However, I'm not able to edit my user page. Can you help at all with this? [[User:Samhildastud|Samhildastud]] ([[User talk:Samhildastud|talk]]) 00:13, 3 April 2020 (UTC)

== Fake Leaks ==
[https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Pok%C3%A9mon_Picross_(Game_Boy_Color)&diff=3240836&oldid=3240835 I saw you removed my edit revealing that Pokemon Picross is fake.] I think the whole internet is brainwashed into thinking some random people on 4chan are leaking all these files and actually hacked them from Nintendo. It makes me sick. It's very obvious that Pokemon Spaceworld was faked, Pokemon Picross was faked, and also that Tomato Adventure prototype was fake. Is there somewhere on the wiki we can expose these frauds or is that outside the scope of Bulbapedia? If it's not allowed here, I understand and I'll keep exposes off the wiki. Thanks. --[[User:Kulbasaur|Kulbasaur]] ([[User talk:Kulbasaur|talk]]) 00:22, 11 September 2020 (UTC)
:We don't add content from fake leaks and any new info that might come from leaks is handled carefully so as to prevent the wiki from getting into any potential legal hassles. We don't expose frauds on Bulbapedia as that is not something we do here. We try to make sure any information we do add is relevant and has some source regarding why info or articles might be added to Bulbapedia. Also, never heard of a Tomato Adventure game, so not sure what you are referring to there.

::Obviously, he's talking crap. What he does is regular vandalism. The leaks are genuine as they came straight from Nintendo (and have even been chased after, the hacker even got sentenced) and nobody would do this so accurately (definitely not some random 4chan trolls, also 4chan isn't even the primary source of these leaks). Nobody would go at such length to fake such an extensive material (which is not just Pokémon but various Nintendo stuff), including source files. People who say that leaked Spaceworld or Picross ROMs are fake are contrarian, conspiracy theorists or trolls. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] ([[User talk:Maxim|talk]]) 06:54, 11 September 2020 (UTC)
::Aside from what Maxim said, I don't think Bulbapedia has anything to worry about when it comes to possible legal issues. Posting images and info won't get anybody in trouble. So long as you don't mention or link to where the files can be found online, the site should be fine.
::Also, Fennec, regarding your comment of ''"We try to make sure any information we do add is relevant and has some source regarding why info or articles might be added to Bulbapedia."'' That's a good idea, but in that case why does [[:Category:Shipping]] exist? If anything, that has even less relevance to the franchise since it's little to nothing more than fan speculation. -[[User:WarioBarker|WarioBarker]] ([[User talk:WarioBarker|talk]]) 05:15, 20 September 2020 (UTC)
:::Those pages have existed far, far longer than I have ever been here. From what I understand, those were made around  the time that Bulbapedia started as ''just for fun'' type pages since shipping was a much bigger thing cira 2006 - 2008. You'll notice that over the years shipping has become less and less of a thing and I ended up cleaning up the shipping pages to remove the Pokémon x Human shipping names since we want to move far away from that type of weirdness. Any further questions regarding shipping should be sent towards {{u|Spriteit}} as they took over as the Head of Shipping around the time I got promoted to admin.

== User space editing ==
Hello, I am contacting you bc I was warned while editing my talk page that I was marked with a vandal 3 case of abuse, I just wanted to remove the welcome part and put this: Questions, criticism, feedback and advice are all welcomed here.
::[[User:Inferno Sam|Inferno Sam]] ([[User talk:Inferno Sam|talk]]) 15:56, 17 December 2020 (UTC)
: In the future, please follow my advice of using the '''+''' at the top to create a new section to ask questions. Adding comments to pre-existing or very old sections makes it difficult for us to find and respond to you quickly. That being said, the talk page s inot your user page. If you want to create a user page, you need to contribute more to the mainspace first. The Welcome template CAN NOT be removed unless you are archiving your talk page. If you want to add a section about saying Questions, critiques, feedback, and advice are welcome, you can always add it as a line at the top of the page. I recommend trying to edit your talk page one more time. Given your account is new, it should not be in the Usergroup: Abuse list currently. If it is still giving you that error, feel free to reach out to me again and I will see what I can do to help you.

== I got a welcome message telling me I could now upload images, but I can't. ==
Recently someone created a user talk page for me in the Bulbapedia Archives, saying something like "by creating your account you are now able to upload images". Yet I'm not. And I didn't even edit any images or anything like I was supposed to to get that privilege. I think the message was automated, but I'm not sure why it gave me inaccurate information. {{unsigned|Andre1070}}
:It seems you are able to upload images as I just checked and seen that you have on there. Also, in the future, if you forget to sign a talk page comment, do not edit the page just to add the signature as this can mess up the timing for when the comment was made. Thank you.

:: No, no, I got the permissions to upload images afterwards, after I received that message. As I mentioned before, I hadn't edited any images prior to that point. Obviously I can edit images ''now'', but not when I got the message. [[User:Andre1070|Andre1070]] ([[User talk:Andre1070|talk]]) 14:37, 22 December 2020 (UTC)
:: https://archives.bulbagarden.net/wiki/User_talk:Andre1070 Here is the message in question. It was sent after I made an edit in the talk page of the to-do list, so I believe that may be why I received it. As you can see, it claims I got permission to upload images by creating my account, which is inaccurate, as you need to edit a certain number of images to get that permission. After I got that message, I checked and saw that I was not, in fact, able to upload images. A few hours later I managed to get it by editing several different images, but not before. To clarify further, I was already aware of the limitations on uploading images for new users, so it's not like the message led me astray or made me think I ''could'' upload images when I could not. I'm just saying that it's probably time to update what that welcome message says. Oh jesus, I forgot to sign it again, I'm sorry. By the way, if I have done anything else wrong, don't be afraid to tell me, okay? I just want to make sure I haven't screwed up in my first few days in the wiki. [[User:Andre1070|Andre1070]] ([[User talk:Andre1070|talk]]) 15:00, 22 December 2020 (UTC)
:::The archive admins have been made aware of this. Also, please make sure to use the Preview Button rather than edit a page multiple times to reduce the chance of clogging up the Recent Changes pages. That ways you can also keep the conversation to one segment rather than making multiple segments for responses. Thank you.

== Why can't I edit my userpage? ==
I want to edit my userpage and add user tags for my favorite Pokémon and stuff, but I can't. I have not been blocked, I am not in the "abuse" usergroup, I have edited in the mainspace and I am pretty sure my userpage has not been protected. So why can't I edit my userpage? Do I need to make a certain number of edits in order to be able to edit my userpage? Or is it some sort of glitch? [[User:Buzzfan120|Buzzfan120]] ([[User talk:Buzzfan120|talk]]) 23:02, 23 April 2021 (UTC)

::You have not contributed enough to the mainspace yet to be able to create your userspace. The number of edits needed is unknown, just edit pages as you see them needing it and you will gradually unlock being able to create your userpage, just need to be patient.

== [[Poké Cup]]/[[Prime Cup]] ==
I believe that the lists of Pokémon Trainers in [[Poké Cup]] and [[Prime Cup]] should be arranged by round rather than by cup. I consider it far more intuitive to list them in the order they are actually fought. I feel so strongly about this that I've taken the liberty of knocking up what [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Pok%C3%A9_Cup&diff=prev&oldid=3377443 Poké Cup] and [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Prime_Cup&diff=prev&oldid=3377445 Prime Cup] look like with the amended lists.--[[User:Tmwps|Tmwps]] ([[User talk:Tmwps|talk]]) 23:18, 15 July 2021 (UTC)

::Admin approval, will be looking into the edits later today when I have time.

:::Sorry for the late response, finally had some time to check the pages and compare them for differences. Having everything condensed down to less pages is a nice change but checking with a couple of other mods first before allowing the change overall to happen.

== Add image to Ex Power Keepers article ==
Hello, I am currently working on adding information on the Ex Power Keepers article. I know I do not have enough days + contributions to upload an image but I would like to add the picture of my unlimited World Champions Pack to the article. Could you please add it ? Here is a link : https://imgur.com/a/BIErZMy

:Sorry for the late response, been busy with things lately but no, the image is not needed. We already have a higher quality image of the pack available on the page that was added in January 2021. As for the section you added, while we appreciate it being added since trivia like that is always nice, going to consolidate it slightly for better wording and to make the section slimmer. Also, when adding references to articles, you will need to add a reference section to the bottom of the page, right above where site templates and categories show up. When adding a Reference area, make sure to add the section header as <nowiki>==References==</nowiki> and the references list will show up by adding <nowiki><references /></nowiki>. I hope this helps, feel free to message me if you have any other questions, sorry again for the very late response.

:: hello, thanks for the answer.
Regarding the picture, I understand your answer but your picture shows a 1st edition WCP, mine is an unlimited one, which is the rarest one. So I thought it was interesting to add a picture of it. I might make a better quality one if you prefer.
Thanks for keeping what I added. And yes it is indeed extremely important in my opinion to add this kind of information so that every person who is seeking information can find it and does not have to spend several hours like I did to find these pieces of information.
Thanks for the info about references I will make everything better next time :)

::I will have to disagree on the card pack image. I am not seeing a need to have two similar images of the same package with minimal differences to them. We do add images for pack differences (usually between the JPN/ENG pack releases since they are almost always under different names and use different images for the pack display.) I slimmed the wording a little and moved it to a later section on the page. As someone who also likes looking at obscure trivia, I will agree on the obscurity of packs and other stuff being something I usually feel is worth adding to articles if info is hard to come by.

== 502 Bad Gateway Error ==
Hi Frozen Fennec, I'm hoping you can help me.
When I access Bulbapedia's mobile site on my phone, as soon as I move from my first page to another, I get an error (Error 502, Bad Gateway, Host Error). That error persists for a few days, then I can get to one page, then I error again.
If I block all cookies or go into Incognito Mode, the problem goes away. Just clearing the cache doesn't help. This started happening after I had opened a bunch of tabs one day, so it's possible Bulbapedia thinks I'm trying to DoS it or something.
Let me know if you have any thoughts, thanks! {{unsigned|Nicholastaylor101}}
:Hey, thanks for letting me know about the issue with the mobile version of Bulbapedia, had another user bring it up as an issue on discord recently.

:What mobile browser(s) are you using? How long have you been experiencing this issue for? Does it occur frequently or only from time to time? Are you in an area where you might have a bad internet connection? etc etc, any info like that would help us a lot in resolving this problem for you and others experiencing this problem, please and thank you.

    I'm using the Google Chrome browser. I just checked the Samsung one and that seems to work fine. As does incognito browsing Chrome. This has been happening for 2-3 months I'd say. Not sure exactly. My internet connection is solid. Does seem to be an issue with Chrome mobile I guess. The problem lasts for hours at least, maybe a day or two. Then I'll be able to access one Bulbapedia page, though trying to access another will cause the error again.

== Unblock request ==
It's been two weeks since I was permanently blocked from editing the [[Nintendo Switch|Nintendo]] [[Nintendo Switch (OLED model)|Switch]] pages. I humbly ask if there's a possibility to unblock me. I don't have much to say other than I, of course, have not done a single edit (edit warring) since. And it's gone two weeks. I'm not gonna say that I totally think that the Nintendo Switch and its OLED model are considered a home console, but I've matured a lot. In the end, if I'm unblocked, then I will try not to edit war. --[[User:SaturnMario|<font color="#034112">SaturnMario</font>]], [[User talk:SaturnMario|<font color="#078325">his talk</font>]] and [[Special:Contributions/SaturnMario|<font color="#83C192">his contributions</font>]] 01:04, 12 November 2021 (UTC)
:Your reply here demonstrates that you still ''do not understand what you did wrong.'' The specific content that you were adding is not the problem. There is no need for a hidden note, because ''adding that line is not against the rules.'' What is against the rules is ''adding back content that has been reverted'' without justifying why the revert was incorrect.
:You added content to a page, and someone reverted you because they believed the information you added was wrong. That is fine and normal, if you disagree; you need to '''discuss''' why you disagree on the talk page. Every single time you added the information to the page, you were reverted; and a detailed reason was provided in the reverting edit summary. A few months would pass, and you would add the information back, without even providing a token attempt to explain why you disagreed with the reason you were previously reverted.
:In July this year, [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Talk:Nintendo_Switch#Proposal|you posted on the talk page], "suggesting" that the exact edit you had been reverted for several times be done. Although in that talk page comment, all you did was request the content be added without explaining why you disagreed with the reasoning that had been provided every time you had previously been reverted. Then, a few minutes later, without waiting for anyone to respond to your talk page comment; you added it to the page anyways, rendering your talk page message pointless -- especially since you asked if you could add it, were told "No," and then subsequently went on to add it again.
:The same reasoning that had been provided to you every time you had been reverted was also provided to you on that talk page, only a day after you posted your original message. Once again, you completely ignored that explanation, and continued to add the '''exact same content''' to the talk page again without ever responding on the talk page, or even acknowledging that anyone disagreed with you.
:To be clear. What you did wrong was continuing to add the same information back to the page without attempting to discuss it first. Maybe you were right and the claim should be on the page you need to make an argument on the talk page to explain why you believe that. You cannot just ignore-everyone who disagrees with you and try to sneak it back onto the page by waiting for long periods between edits.

:The answer is still no, as shown in this reply, the previous reply, and your talk page segments, you have shown no progress in learning or trying to improve your editing or using talk pages to discuss edits. It has also only been roughly 2 months, the permaban is because you kept doing the same edits over the course of three years. As I was getting ready to respond to this, I saw your most recent edit to the Wii U page was also undone for pretty much the same reasons noted above. Do NOT ask to be unblocked from editing those pages again. If your edits improve in the future, we will evaluate if it is acceptable to unblock you from editing those pages.

why are we including information from spin off games in lead of the article? if you have to include pokemon xd then why is mystery dungeon and conquest not on that page as well?? and then there's like, pokemon GO where pokemon like roserade evolve with a sinnoh stone.[[User:Roserade57|Roserade57]] ([[User talk:Roserade57|talk]]) 22:40, 22 March 2022 (UTC)
:Apoligies for the late response but that stuff is already covered on pages for species that do evolve, under the Side Game data sections. The evolution methods noted at the the top of the page are usually reserved for main game evolutions although some spinoff games are included from time to time.

== Editing Issue ==
Hello Frozen Fennec. I'm a fairly new user to editing Bulbapedia, but I have been making a few contributions here and there. I've been trying to edit the page [[Moves not in the Pokémon games/In the TCG/Sword & Shield Series]]. So far it's been going well, and I've added some things, but when I tried deleting the moves that were already existent in previous series/expansions (as every other page excludes previously introduced moves from older expansions), my edit was automatically blocked on account of Vandal Filter 2. I was told to contact an administrator to explain myself, which is why I am here. I also corrected the names of several moves. Could you allow my edit to go through please? I'm not trying to do anything harmful. [[User:Dougbro1|Dougbro1]] ([[User talk:Dougbro1|talk]]) 20:41, 20 May 2022 (UTC)
:Sorry for a belated response, it seems you are not blocked. Vandal Filter 2 only appears when a new user is attempting to remove a large quantity of content from a page. Once you are auto-confirmed, the error should stop occurring. I can remove the excess content you were trying to remove if you need me to.

::Oh yeah, I can understand why that's in place. There are a lot of entries that I was trying to remove from the page (duplicates from previous expansions). I'd explain which ones, but that could take a while. I can take it slow, making an edit or two per day, or waiting until I get autoconfirmed. Thanks for informing me!

== Move images ==
Hello, I was told, that we can add move images from different games of same generation in case they are different enough. I wanted to add some from BDSP, but I'm not sure what consitutes a "different enough"; the game itself is different stylistically, so most moves look different, but I don't know if it's enough difference. Is there a way to judge (dis)similarity with someone in the staff without adding them to archives prematurely? [[User:Kikugi|Kikugi]] ([[User talk:Kikugi|talk]]) 11:08, 27 November 2022 (UTC)
:Usually if the move's animation is different or updated: ie, Sonicboom in Gen II went from a small tornado to 3 blades being thrown at the opponent; in some games, move animations are slown down to prevent epilepsy. If the moves look similar from game to game or exactly the same, then there is no need for a new image for that generation.

== Hex Maniac Trivia ==
I was reading the [[Hex_Maniac_(Trainer_class)|Hex Maniac article]], and I noticed this piece of trivia: ''"On the second floor of the Lumiose City's Fighting Dojo building, a Hex Maniac will appear, say 'No, you're not the one,' and float away. It is most likely a hologram for a marketing stunt to drive business to the location."'' I looked at the [https://www.pokemon.jp/special/kowapoke/horrorspot/horrorspot002/ webpage] which was cited as a source, and I couldn't find anything mentioning a hologram or marketing stunt. As you were the one who made this edit, I'm curious as to where you found this information. I don't speak Japanese, and could only read the page with machine translation, so it's possible it actually was mentioned and was just mistranslated (or I simply didn't notice it). --[[User:Zygarbodor|Zygarbodor]] ([[User talk:Zygarbodor|talk]]) 07:00, 8 November 2023 (UTC)
:Sorry for the very late response. When looking into this, saw this floating around as a potential thing that may have occurred but I am likely wrong on it at this point.

You are welcome to create a subpage on your userpage for him and work on it, once it has everything you feel should be on the page, feel free to reach out again and we will see if it looks good enough to mainspace. Also, in the future, please do not spam the same message on multiple staff member pages, thank you. You can create an mainspace candidate page by going to your userpage (currently not created) and adding /Crispin Freeman to the end of it.

== Re:Userspace policy block ==
First, the monsters I use(d) my new template for are not Fakemon. I made that template to be able to use Bulbapedia templates with monsters and trainers from my own monster-catching RPG that I'm making with my school friend. The Attribute colors I made were for the 7 attributes (<span style="background: #{{day color}}">{{color|FFF| Air }}</span>, <span style="background: #{{fire color}}">{{color|FFF| Fire }}</span>, <span style="background: #{{rock color}}">{{color|FFF| Earth }}</span>, <span style="background: #{{water color}}">{{color|FFF| Water }}</span>, <span style="background: #{{electric color}}">{{color|FFF| Lightning }}</span>, <span style="background: #{{tcg metal color}}">{{color|FFF| Iron }}</span>, and <span style="background: #{{poison color}}">{{color|FFF| Toxic }}</span>) and are meant to be used with my monster template. I didn't know that creating those templates violated the userspace policy, and if you know another way I can use those templates on my Bulbapedia userpage or a completely new wiki that would be greatly appreciated. :) --[[User:Thwackeyrabootdrizzile|<span style="color:#78C850;">Thwackey</span>]][[User talk:Thwackeyrabootdrizzile|<span style="color:#F08030;">raboot</span>]][[Special:Random|<span style="color:#6890F0;">drizzile</span>]] 01:28, 21 January 2024 (UTC)

== Pokkén Infobox ==
Wanted to get your take on this after you gassed me up over it and also because you're in charge of colors chat.
I did the classic thing where I double-checked everything and mainspaced it and celebrated and then came back and realized that I kinda hate what I did with it. I used the type colors like the anime infobox did because that's what these had before and I didn't want to mess with it too badly, but it's hard to read on [[Shadow Mewtwo]] and {{OBP|Darkrai|Pokkén}}. It also has the issue where the type colors aren't actually relevant to Pokkén because the game doesn't have elemental types.
I was thinking I'd change the main color to the Silver color, which is what the templates on the [[Pokkén Tournament]] page use, and then do a border color based on the Battle Style (white/red/blue/green for Standard/Power/Speed/Technical). The main issue there would be figuring out which color templates would match the battle styles, which I assume aren't getting a template, though I guess the game colors would work well enough. The other aspect would be potential confusion about why eg Sceptile uses blue and Blastoise uses red, particularly since we don't have the symbols for the styles on-site. I put a mockup on my userpage.
The other thing I was considering was adding links to [http://wiki.supercombo.gg/w/Pokken_Tournament_DX SuperCombo Wiki] like the species infoboxes have for Smogon. Right now we have the bare minimum on how to actually play the game outside of the movelists, and we're not on track to have anything like that, so this would be the next best thing. I am planning to do the missing pages for the DX Pokémon and round out the existing pages more, but I'm not prepared to write up anything on competitive jargon.
Appreciate your reading this, I would value your input. --[[User:Apopheniac|Apopheniac]] ([[User talk:Apopheniac|talk]]) 02:37, 4 April 2024 (UTC)
:If readability is an issue, I would suggest modifying the template to use lighter color for types since sometimes depending on the text color, it could make it harder to read. Alternatively, could also modify the text for those two specific pages to use white font in the Infobox. If it only affects those two pages, easier to swap the text color to a white text rather than modifying all the templates due to just two characters.
