This may be the wrong place to ask, but would any of you TCG people care to join [[Bulbapedia:Project Decks|Project Decks]]?  You can read about it on the link, and for a couple of good examples of our deck pages, check out [[Raieggs (TCG)|Raieggs]] and [[Haymaker (TCG)|Haymaker]].  It would be great to have some new members, and you don't even need to know about decks that are currently tournament legal:)  Just ask on the talk page or add your name to the participants list here:  [[Bulbapedia:Project Decks|Project Decks]].

Anyone think it'd be nice to have a template that links to both set name and card name? For example, instead of having to do <code><nowiki>{{TCG|Base Set}} {{TCG ID|Base Set|Charizard|4}}</nowiki></code> to get {{TCG|Base Set}} {{TCG ID|Base Set|Charizard|4}}, it'd link to the Base Set with just one template, kind of like how we have {{template|type2}} and so on...

::First, to address the problems you have. This is intended primarily intended for general release sets that have both English and Japanese releases. For sets like EX Emerald, it was designed as an English exclusive set anyways. For Promotional cards, since many of them are only promos in their area of release, so like EX Emerald it would not be have the same treatment. My main problem with what we're doing now has a huge repeat of information. Everything except for the order and the different cards would be a repeat. In what way is it confusing? If it is, it's something I'd like to rectify. As for the note explaining, let's take {{TCG|Secret Wonders}} for example.

== Need help? ==
I'm not sure if anything is left of my reputation in the Pokemon (TCG) community... but my name is Philippe Van Lieu, aka Nick15. I laid the foundation for a good portion of Bulbapedia's TCG articles, starting many of them. Most of the info in those articles actually originally came from my TCG-based site, ''Pokemon Aaah!''. It's been a long while since I did anything at Bulbapedia and so I haven't kept up to date with all the changes made since I edited my last article. In fact someone also deleted the article about me... so perhaps people have forgotten about me.
Anyways, I figure this is the best place to ask this: how do I get back involved with Bulbapedia's TCG sections? Who do I need to talk to, where can I discuss TCG article matters and all that jazz? Heck maybe you guys could use a new manager? I appreciate any info you guys can send my way! - [[User:Nick15|Nick15]] 07:56, 25 September 2009 (UTC)
* I should say that I will just start combing through articles and rewrite things I find in error; I still have a pretty clear memory of the past and of past sets and cards, and I would love to see Bulbapedia provide the most accurate information available. - 08:17, 25 September 2009 (UTC)
::Wow, you completely missed the giant template on the main page saying "Maverick Nate is the leader of this project. Please direct any questions about Project TCGDex or its actions to this user. " Just talk to me if you ever come up with ideas, but there are small things to do with the cards right now. Most of what we need done lies in the decks, Just start somewhere, and work on things. I currently am running a check through every card article, to make sure they are up to my standards, to make sure all the info is right, and whether or not they include the new features, like the images switching daily for {{TCG ID|Diamond & Pearl|Dialga|1}}. Just fix any mistakes you see, and come to me if you have any new ideas you'd like to see. Th trainer card lists need updated, and the Goods card page needs created. To answer your questions, I'm the one to talk to, and no, I'm the manager. No one's replacing me. The unreleased Wizards sets' pages need a lot of improvement, and a page for the Wizards Pokémon TCG chats needs created. Just start somewhere and ask me whenever you need something. I'll watch anything you do to make sure it's done right too, so don't worry.

== I'd love to help you guys!!! ==
I've been collecting Pokémon cards since I was 2 years old!!!
I have a binder 4 inches thick full to the brim with over 3,500 Pokémon cards!
I own most of the "old-school" cards, too!
I have two SERIES ONE 1st Edition Mew cards, And 1 Mewtwo from the 1st Movie also!!!
Please let me know if I can join your Club!!!
It looks AWESOME!!!

== QUESTION ==
Has anyone seen any Old-school TCG cards when the whole card is shiny and holographic?  Because i have a Jolteon and a Magikarp that are like that...
They look so weird!!!
Anybody seen these cards?
If you have answers, please tell me!!!
From-

:Do they have this set symbol on it?  [[File:SetSymbolLegendary Collection.png|thumb]]
:If they do, then there's one simple explaination as to what your cards are:  They're reverse-holographic cards from {{TCG|Legendary Collection}}, an expansion that reprinted cards from the first four standalone English expansions along with one promo card.  Legendary Collection was also the first set to have reverse-holographic cards, a trend that continues in the TCG to this day.  --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 18:36, 2 December 2009 (UTC)

I added my [[Metanite (TCG)|Metanite]] article as part of this project.  After all, I think it was the first article on a player-made deck article on Bulbapedia (correct me if I'm wrong).  Nobody minds, do they?  [[User:Politoed666|Politoed666]] 15:59, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
:Of course not. However, try to improve it... I've got little to no knowledge of any metagame stuff after Neo Destiny. If you can tell exactly which Metagross and Dragonite are used in the deck, as well as the types and such, I think it'd be better.

::Sure!  I'll try to get around to it, but would it be good to just write specific articles on the cards themselves and link to them, rather than adding that information to the [[Metanite]] article? [[User:Politoed666|Politoed666]] 00:14, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
Also, should I add my [[Holon Engine]] article to [[Bulbapedia:Project TCG|Project Decks]]?  It's not technically a deck, but it is such a big part of so many decks right now that I think it should be a part of this project.  Both my [[Raieggs (TCG)|Raieggs]] deck and my [[Metanite (TCG)|Metanite]] deck articles link to it, too.  [[User:Politoed666|Politoed666]] 00:59, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
:Hmm... Holon Engine... Well, that's one of those iffy things. I suppose it'd be about as much part of Project Decks as Haymaker is.

Today you can expect me to write {{TCG|Queendom}} and one of the Worlds '07 decks. If I get some more stategy information, I might do the archytypes Flygon δ and Rayquaza δ.

== T/S/S cards ==
From this point on, since I'd like to get a lot of articles done quickly, instead of using the traditional TCG ID template to link to cards, I'm going to do <nowiki>{{TCG|(card)}}</nowiki> but '''only''' if the card is a Trainer, Supporter, or Stadium.  TBH, that's what we should have been doing all along, since using that template vs the TCG ID template results in the same link.  That will allow me to write articles vastly more quickly.  --[[User:Politoed666|<span style="color:#30D5C8">ニョロトノ</span>]][[User talk:Politoed666|<span style="color:#FF69B4">''666''</span>]] 20:41, 25 January 2010 (UTC)
