::::::::@Kogoro Those sellers are just uninformed and most probably aren't gamers. Actually a page I am suggesting would be helpful to buyers because most eBay listings I've seen take a picture of the game cart. Some use stock images so it's a gamble. Plus if you suspect if you have a counterfeit of an item, you can file a dispute to hopefully get your money back. Sure the page will be unpopular at first but through featuring on the main page, word will get around, maybe even be featured on the first page of a search engine like Google or something. Although ideal, that may not happen exactly like that but more exposure means more informed people. When you say "asking for trouble", what do you mean? Of course in writing there is always a "draft" form before it becomes "final" with more approprate wording. Maybe instead of saying "if it is from China", say "look for games for sale in your region and not from a foreign country" or "Japan, North America, and Europe are where authentic licensed copys of Nintendo games come from". --[[User:Wildgoosespeeder|Wildgoosespeeder]] 00:02, 17 October 2011 (UTC) | ::::::::@Kogoro Those sellers are just uninformed and most probably aren't gamers.

All bootleg GBA Pokémon games use the outdated battery back-up method to store game saves. Authentic Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald do have batteries in them but are for the clock functions only. Saves are stored as flash memory (works similar to USB flash drives). If copies of FireRed or LeafGreen have a battery in them, 100% irrefutable bootleg. --[[User:Wildgoosespeeder|Wildgoosespeeder]] 04:49, 29 April 2012 (UTC) | |||

== HTTPS == | |||
While it's not 100% effective or unbreakable, I believe we should add support for {{wp|HTTP Secure|HTTPS}} all over the Bulbawikis. Wikipedia and the rest of the Wikimedia wikis already support it, AFAIK. We could even have our wikis added to the list of [https://www.eff.org/https-everywhere HTTPS Everywhere]. My question is: what issues are there in relation to backend support from our infrastructure?

What does the recent changes mean by "anonymous users"? I clicked to hide them but the recent changes didn't change.{{tt|*|No pun intended}} The above [[Special:Contributions/Wildgoose|comment]] is [[User talk: Wildgoose|supported]] by [[User:Wildgoose|Wildgoose]]. 19:22, 22 April 2012 (UTC) | |||
:"Anonymous" means "without a name" so it's basically just users that haven't registered. But Bulbapedia doesn't allow unregistered users to edit, so they're not going to have any edits on the Recent Changes. That's why it makes no difference. <sup>[[Typhlosion (Pokémon)|<span style="color:#C00;">★</span>]]</sup>[[User:Jo The Marten|<span style="color:#C00;">Jo the Marten</span>]]<sup>[[Flygon (Pokémon)|<span style="color:#C00;">★</span>]]</sup> [[User_Talk:Jo The Marten|<span style="color:#C00;">ಠ_ಠ</span>]][[Cilan (anime)|<span style="color:#90C870;">♥</span>]] 19:27, 22 April 2012 (UTC) | |||

== Typo in "Gotta Catch 'em All!: Scizor" == | |||
In the "Gotta Catch 'em All!: Scizor" for wednesday, April 25, on the home page, there is a small typo. Fourth bullet point down; it reads: "Scizor its anime debut in". Someone should probably fix that, as I can't edit the home page :P. [[User:Eeyle|Eeyle]] 16:02, 25 April 2012 (UTC) | |||

== Anime Protection == | |||
Shouldn't all of the anime episodes that have not yet aired anywhere in the world be protected to avoid rumors that have been misrepresented as fact from being put on the article? ([[User:Charizard101|Charizard101]] 18:03, 1 May 2012 (UTC)) | |||
== No Darkrai News? == | |||
Shouldn't it be on the main page that theres an ongoing Darkrai mystery gift distribution? Cause its not at all obvious. On top is a pikachu distribution notice. Actually the page seems to imply that the darkrai distribution hasnt happened yet, but it is ongoing. I'd edit it myself but im not sure about rules on that and such. | |||

== Multiple entity Pokémon == | |||
Some time ago now I created the article [[User:Taromon777/Multiple entity Pokémon]] on my userspace, intending to get it mainspaced once complete. Other users have also been contributing to it, though some sections are still incomplete. Is it ready to be mainspaced, with an "incomplete" tag at the top, or would it be better to complete it first? Do you need to seek permission from an admin before mainspacing an article?

== Adverts == | |||
Really, is there no way you guys can implement an ad filter or something so that only legit ads are shown?

:If you are having issues with ads causing pop-ups or any other problem, you can report them in the {{bmgf|29680|bad ad reporting thread}} on the forums. Please be sure to give as much detailed information as you can, including an image of the advert and the referring URL.

== Collapsable == | |||
Should we do the show/hide thing for some of the battles, such as [[Cheren]]? The list makes the page very long, and it would be cleaner to put it with just the names of the battle showing. Otherwise we have a ''ton'' of code to go thru, which is really annoying and tedious.
