 :Images are uploaded over on the Bulbagarden Archives (link on the left of the page). Unfortunately, you'll need to become autoconfirmed over there as well, separate from your autocfirmation here. <small>[[User:Glik|glik]]</small><sup>[[User talk:Glik|glak]]</sup> 21:48, 6 January 2017 (UTC)
 ::How does that even work, though? Bulbagarden Archives is solely for uploading images, but if you can't upload images without being autoconfirmed and you can't become autoconfirmed without uploading images, it would seem to be simply impossible to do anything. [[User:Xolroc|Xolroc]] ([[User talk:Xolroc|talk]]) 21:51, 6 January 2017 (UTC)
+:::You get autoconfirmed for editing, just like here (plus the "had an account long enough" wait time). I can point you to some things there that need done, if you'd like. <small>[[User:Glik|glik]]</small><sup>[[User talk:Glik|glak]]</sup> 21:56, 6 January 2017 (UTC)
+::::Sure, I suppose. I wasn't aware there was anything to edit other than by uploading images though--I thought the archives was just an image repository. [[User:Xolroc|Xolroc]] ([[User talk:Xolroc|talk]]) 21:58, 6 January 2017 (UTC)
+== Move Relearner ==
+I noticed in {{sup/7}} when you give the [[Move Relearner]] a [[Heart Scale]] you can teach a Pokemon a move it cannot have learned yet due to being a too low level. For example, I can teach my Level 1 [[Dhelmise]] [[Power Whip]] even though it learns it at level 59. I have edited the relevant pages as best I can, but I think I've been a little clunky and unclear. Would someone take a look and try and smooth it out? Thanks :)

+== Moving pages ==
+I've noticed a few incidents in the last month or so relating to pages being moved, and just wanted to ask: why is moving pages not restricted to administrators? Do we have a good reason for that? Because it seems like page moves should be something that gets discussed rather than just being done. [[User:Xolroc|Xolroc]] ([[User talk:Xolroc|talk]]) 18:40, 14 January 2017 (UTC)
+:I think just because you're not allowed to do things in some (or even in the majority of) cases, everyone shouldn't be restricted from doing things generally at all. I think TCG cards, for example, are meant to be qualified with the English expansion they first appeared in (such as [[Ninetales (Evolutions 15)]]), and that requires rather frequent page moves from their original Japanese that don't require that sort of discussion. (And, in general, I think there should be good reasons to restrict things, not to ''not'' restrict them.) [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 09:53, 15 January 2017 (UTC)
+::Didn't think about the TCG cards. I was just thinking of it as something with high abuse potential--which is good reason to restrict something, I think, if there isn't equally good reason to not restrict it. [[User:Xolroc|Xolroc]] ([[User talk:Xolroc|talk]]) 14:31, 15 January 2017 (UTC)
+== Category proposal ==
+I feel like <nowiki>[[Category:Pokémon whose base stats decrease on evolution]]</nowiki> might be a worthwhile category to have. As an example of Pokémon who it would include, [[Caterpie (Pokémon)#Base stats|Caterpie]] would be in the category because [[Metapod (Pokémon)#Base stats|Metapod]] has lower Attack and Speed stats, despite being one evolution up. --[[User:Xolroc|Felthry]] (F.K.A.

+==Phione dead link==
+Hi a month or so ago I was looking through the Phione(Pokemon)page and in the trivia there was a link and right next to it a notice the link was dead I clicked on it to confirm and I thought "Whats the point of having a link if its dead?" so i figured it was pointlessly taking bytes and I removed it an hour later someone put it up again can you please tell me why? thanks :)

+== Where's the page for which articles need images? ==
+All I can find are <nowiki>[[Category:Articles needing better pictures]]</nowiki>. [[User:Unowninator|Unowninator]] ([[User talk:Unowninator|talk]]) 21:49, 11 May 2017 (UTC)
+:I don't know that we have a specific one, but [[:Category:Articles needing improvement]] is the parent category, under which some of the potentially relevant subcategories are the one you found, [[:Category:Anime locations in need of images]], and [[:Category:Moves in need of a screenshot]]. It's likely that many of the pages in [[:Category:Stubs]] need images.
+:Additionally, I believe most of the time, people note that an article needs an image by simply noting it in the input text for the <code><nowiki>{{incomplete}}</nowiki></code> template. That template puts the page in [[:Category:Articles needing more information]], so that's another place that's likely to have a lot of pages needing images.

+::Damn, I was hoping it'd be more organized. Okay, well thanks Pumpkinking. [[User:Unowninator|Unowninator]] ([[User talk:Unowninator|talk]]) 22:13, 11 May 2017 (UTC)
+== Tables ==
+This site seems to be lacking the option to create tables. Which would come in handy in formatting soundtrack pages. I wanted to work on the ''[[Pocket Monster Sound Anime Collection]]'' page, but couldn't do it for that very reason. [[User:Sarujo|Sarujo]] ([[User talk:Sarujo|talk]]) 00:35, 19 May 2017 (UTC)
+== Can't log in! ==
+I've been using my iPad to brows bulbapedia, but when I want to edit I can't log in! The login option is blocked by the MASSIVE search bar. I thought the app would be better but it's not. I somehow got it to work by going through the archives, but I'm not doing that each time. Any ideas?--[[User:Grass4Lyfe|Grass4Lyfe]] ([[User talk:Grass4Lyfe|talk]]) 02:04, 19 June 2017 (UTC)
+: I got the same issue when I'm on moblie. I always just change to desktop view, which makes the login option visible again. When logging in, make sure to check the "keep me logged in" box, so you won't have to log in each time. [[User:Satsjoe|Satsjoe]] ([[User talk:Satsjoe|talk]]) 15:01, 19 June 2017 (UTC)
+::: I understand that but how do I actually enter desktop mode? Also, my iPad logs me out automatically after some time.--[[User:Grass4Lyfe|Grass4Lyfe]] ([[User talk:Grass4Lyfe|talk]]) 21:47, 20 June 2017 (UTC)
+:::: I'm not really familiar with iPads, but there should be an option to request the desktop version in your browser. I don't know where that option is, but Google's your best friend. Also, checking the "keep me logged in" box should prevent you from logging out, so I'm not sure why you get logged out. The only reason I can think of right now is that your cookies get deleted upon exiting your browser. If this is the case, you should be fine if you disable this. I don't know how to do this on an iPad, so you'd have to look that up as well. Hope this helped. [[User:Satsjoe|Satsjoe]] ([[User talk:Satsjoe|talk]]) 12:26, 21 June 2017 (UTC)
+== Mr. Hyper ==
+This page is no longer a needed article, yet it is still listed under Needed Articles. That needs to be updated. [[User:APokemonTrainer|APokemonTrainer]] ([[User talk:APokemonTrainer|talk]]) 14:10, 21 September 2017 (UTC)
+== Arceus base stats ==
+I noticed while looking at Arceus' base stats that because "defense" is a longer word than the other stats the bar next to it makes it look bigger than the number says. It's not a huge deal but I thought I should point it out.

+:Hm, I'm not seeing that issue on any web browser I have convenient access to (Chrome and Edge on desktop; Safari on mobile; all the most recent versions afaik). Could you elaborate on what browser you're using that might be causing this problem? [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 20:37, 21 October 2017 (UTC)
