Welcome
Welcome to Bulbapedia, Rocket Admin Hunter Blade!
As a new user, you may wish to learn a few things that will be useful in your editing:
- For a basic overview of wiki code, see this page.
- Read over the style primer before making your edits. It is a basic outline of Bulbapedia style. For a more in-depth set of rules, see the manual of style.
- Keep an eye on the Messages from the Editor on the main page, to stay informed on current events on Bulbapedia.
- The word Pokémon is spelled with a capital P and an accented é. The é can be accessed by holding Alt and typing either 130 or 0233 on a Windows computer, and by using Option + e, then e again on a Mac. Otherwise, you can easily click it in the character palette below the editbox.
- The word Poké Ball is spelled as two words. The "Poké" part is identical to the four beginning letters in "Pokémon"; "Ball" is spelled with a capital B. The spelling "Pokéball" arises frequently, but is incorrect.
- The word "you" and all forms of it should not be used on encyclopedic pages unless it is a quote from Pokémon or other media. Bulbapedia is an encyclopedia, not a walkthrough.
- On talk pages, please sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).
- The use of link templates is official policy.
- If you happen to spot a vandal in the recent changes that has not been dealt with, please see this page for how to deal with it.
- A list of pages that are linked to, but have not been created, can be found at this page. A list of short articles that may require more information can be found here, while a list of articles that need improvement can be found here.
- For a future capture, release, trade, or evolution of a Pokémon belonging to a main character of the anime, please do not create or move the page to reflect your suspicions, even if they are shared by many others. Policy here is to wait until the episode in which the event happens takes place is aired, unless there is substantial evidence for the suspicion (such as Brock's Happiny being held in his arms).
- Image uploading is done on Bulbagarden Archives, a separate wiki accessible through the toolbox in the sidebar. This is done so that both Bulbapedia and Bulbanews have access to the images uploaded. To activate your account at the Archives and Bulbanews, please login there using the same username and password you use here on Bulbapedia.
- If you want to make a page about a character you made up, please create it at User:Rocket Admin Hunter Blade/(name), not merely (name). Bulbapedia's main namespace is reserved for actual, official Pokémon, items, characters, and locations. Also, please try to make sure that subpages are not categorized by templates used within.
- Having said this, please make sure that you do contribute adequately to the main namespace. Bulbapedia is not MySpace or Facebook.
- A list of the admins that you can contact in case of a problem can be found here.
Thank you, and have a good time editing here! --Shiningpikablu252 15:02, 18 September 2008 (UTC)
Please
Slow down on editing the User:
namespace. Editing your userpage too much will lead to it being locked again. Instead of making multiple small edits, why not instead use the preview button (Alt + Shift + P) to check your edits before saving the page? Thank you. --PsychicRider☮ 20:59, 18 September 2008 (UTC)
Link templates
I don't know whether or not you've done this on any main pages, but on talk pages, you tend to link to Pokémon like [[Ho-Oh]] or [[Lugia]]. While that's technically OK on talk pages, you should get into the habit of {{p}}
to link to Pokémon like {{p|Ho-Oh}} or {{p|Lugia}}. For more information, see the list of link templates. --((Marton imos)) 00:18, 25 September 2008 (UTC)
Contest Tag
A usertag you have been using, {{User Five Masters Ribbons}}
, has been moved to a new location due to a split in the usertag between the Contests of Generation III and Super Contests of Generation IV. Your tag has been switched to that template's new location, {{User Contest Master}}
. If you have only mastered the Super Contests, please change the tag to {{User Super Contest Master}}
. If you hav emastered both, go ahead and add both. --tc26 14:52, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
No hard feelings
Hey, don't worry about it. No hard feelings. We have a difference of opinion, and we care about the work we put into this site. Emotions aren't a bad thing. -- evkl (need to talk?) 23:23, 19 January 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks. I just felt really bad about it after I got off last night. R.A. Hunter B. 23:25, 19 January 2009 (UTC)
Sorry
I tried to find a way to keep the nicknames, but I wasn't able to: unless you want a huge mess of coding on your page, then we can do it. MaverickNate 21:29, 17 April 2009 (UTC)
- Eh, that's fine. It's not really that important to me. I just actually named some Pokémon for once. Thanks though. R.A. Hunter B. 21:39, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

Your team Templates
Is there a way to remove the part showing their levels? Or could you put a link to the page? Thanks. Diachronos 17:32, 1 May 2009 (UTC)
- Link, meaning? R.A. Hunter B. 19:00, 1 May 2009 (UTC)
- Link to the page where you found them. Don't worry about it, I figured out how to work the template. Diachronos 15:57, 4 May 2009 (UTC)
- Oh. That. Ok. Glad you found it. R.A. Hunter B. 21:04, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

Is there any reason
why in the discussion page of Heart Gold and Soul Silver, my post got deleted? It is legitamite, and it's not even on the actual article. unsigned comment from Spongye west (Talk | contribs)
Hey
If you were right about the comment in your revert, then my 4th grade english teacher is a liar.

- They probably are. Although I knew what it meant already, I looked it up in a few places just to make sure. R.A. Hunter Blade 23:27, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
- I don't see how Beldum is based off of a dumbell. Do you have any pictures of odd-looking ones? I remember having to look up a sport just to find out what the heck that thing was that Kirby transformed into when he got stone and ice (actually I saw it on an episode of Family Matters lol), sooo... ☆X-Knight☆511♂ 23:32, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
