Template talk:GlitchPkmn

as per a landslide "##-0" administrative board decision, glitch Pokemon aquaired through Gameshark hacking are NOT NOTABLE for the site as they are not genuine glitch Pokemon. a genuine glitch Pokemon constitutes any glitch that can be encountered in game WITHOUT the use of a cheating or hacking devise. -- MAG NE DETH 18:59, 31 October 2009 (UTC)

Then you're also trashing Five question marks, DP hybrids, and even Bad egg, right? (yes, you can't get that without cheating) If so, somebody should evacuate the GameShark glitch Pokémon articles into userspace or into another wiki, since I strongly oppose removing them. You should have told they don't belong here before people started working hard to find out information about them. UltimateSephiroth ^{(about me · chat · edits)} 19:24, 31 October 2009 (UTC)

right now we are focusing on Gen I only. some of the other Gen glitches are still notable despite being GS only, namely Bad Egg. i should have clarified. the main problem is that there are now a ton of articles containing little to no information on these things. as for asking everyone, if this were a serious issue, than yes, but given that 90% of the people that want to keep them are simply glitch Pokemon fanatics, then theres no real point in asking. im not overly opposed to keeping some information on them, they deserve to be mentioned, but we really, really dont need the boggling amount of pages for these things. we arent a glitch site, thats what those other sites are for. -- MAG NE DETH 19:29, 31 October 2009 (UTC)

Okay. Is it OK if I copy the Gen I articles on my own user page and then compress them into a single article? If yes, give me a moment or two to collect the articles before deleting them from the mainspace. UltimateSephiroth ^{(about me · chat · edits)} 19:34, 31 October 2009 (UTC)

I'm sure that would be an appropriate action. Go ahead. ^Maverick _Nate 19:38, 31 October 2009 (UTC)

sure, go for it. just remove links and categories. -- MAG NE DETH 19:38, 31 October 2009 (UTC)

Okay, I've got them copied over now at User:UltimateSephiroth/Evacuated glitch Pokémon articles and will start processing the article, so I'm not dependant on the mainspace versions anymore. However, please conserve the older version of the template here on the talk page as I made a little mistake which caused all small japanese U characters to turn into ?'s - I need the reference of the original names to fix them. UltimateSephiroth ^{(about me · chat · edits)} 21:52, 31 October 2009 (UTC)

rather annoyingly, i cant do that because it would create red links. lots of them. so fix your page quickly. remove links, official templates (notably evolution) categories, all of it. -- MAG NE DETH 21:58, 31 October 2009 (UTC)

After the two huge edits I made, I think I got everything out (I left the type efficiency templates intact because 1. they won't be deleted, 2. they don't categorize the page). I gotta go sleep now, but I don't need any references anymore. UltimateSephiroth ^{(about me · chat · edits)} 00:25, 1 November 2009 (UTC)

So does this mean that we remove anything to do with GameShark generation I glitch Pokémon? Such as M p'u learning TM28 on the List of glitch moves? Or some GameShark glitch Pokémon's unique types being listed on the List of glitch types? --Snorlax Monster 00:42, 1 November 2009 (UTC)

it does, and i already removed all of them. -- MAG NE DETH 00:52, 1 November 2009 (UTC)

OK, well you missed a few. I'll get them. --Snorlax Monster 00:57, 1 November 2009 (UTC)

blargh. oh well, go get 'em tiger. -- MAG NE DETH 01:03, 1 November 2009 (UTC)

I think we should restore the article ".g". The version I saved states that it can be found with the Mew cheat by using the special stat of 238 (someone please confirm this?). (No idea why it was in the bottom part of this template.) UltimateSephiroth ^{(about me · chat · edits)} 18:51, 2 November 2009 (UTC)

The same applies to Glitch (EC), though this time with the special stat of 236. Seems, though, that it can only be seen' that way. UltimateSephiroth ^{(about me · chat · edits)} 20:17, 3 November 2009 (UTC)

Now that the template is smaller...

...would it be a good idea to combine it with Template:GlitchPkmnNonObtainable? --Snorlax Monster 11:25, 2 November 2009 (UTC)

They were combined in the first place, and split when we started doing Glitch Pokémon that were only obtainable by GameShark. I'd say now we could easily re-combine the templates. Missingno. Master wants YOU! Join the Order of the Glitch! (my talk page) 11:56, 2 November 2009 (UTC)

Too bad its protected. Otherwise I'd edit it now. --Snorlax Monster 06:22, 3 November 2009 (UTC)

Evolution?

If 44hy evolves into Q under level 100, and PkMnaPkMnfPkMnk also evolves into another glitch Pokémon on the charts under level 100, should it be edited to say evolve PkMnaPkMnfPkMnk?--1ted59 glitches! ゥゥゥゥ!missingno! 01:12, 8 November 2009 (UTC)

I think simply 'Evolve' would suffice, rather than what specifically. --Snorlax Monster 03:42, 8 November 2009 (UTC)

Should 'Evolve' then be on yellow also? --1ted 59 01:18, 15 November 2009 (UTC)

"Evolve" should be on both. Now that it's unlocked again, I will change that. Also, should I put in the red links for these pages (glitches that can be found though legitimate methods) so that people know that they need to be made, or is making red links undesirable? --Snorlax Monster 01:37, 15 November 2009 (UTC)

After some thinking, is it really necessarily to include the method of obtaining them? --Snorlax Monster 08:12, 17 November 2009 (UTC)

Merge with other template

Here is a possibility. I'm not to great at editing templates, so it might need some tweaking:
