:::::::::Ah. Okay. I hadn't checked those pages in a while. As for the episodic major events, I personally see that the move's confirmation should be listed under the major events of "Drawn with the Wind!", even if the confirmation happened by subtitles. Could that be made acceptable? --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 16:56, 20 October 2019 (UTC)

:::::::::::::I personally would still count it as a major event. For example, Lana's Primarina being revealed to have learned Icy Wind off-screen was something that even the main characters noticed as important. But okay.

I just created two new link templates: "BP" linking to "Battle Point" and "Alola Form" linking to "Regional variant". "BP", though, was a redirect to the "Bp" template. Could I ask you to make BulbaBot help in editing all the necessary links into these link templates, possibly also checking that the "Bp" redirect isn't in use anywhere?<br>

:On EB review, we've shortened Pumpkinking's block to three weeks (two weeks for the edit warring after a past warning, and the third week for ignoring Force Fire after the protection expired). The EB will be talking to Force Fire in the near future, though I will note that there is still an imperative on Pumpkinking's part to ask for another staff member's input if he is having a conflict with a staff member.
:For future reference, having just got a clarification on the spirit of the blocking policy, another user cannot appeal someone's block through the appeals process, though as in this situation you're still free to bring complaints about said blocks up to higher-level staff.
:The hidden note has been removed, and a re-worded version of the trivia point has been put back in. --[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 04:34, 3 November 2019 (UTC)
::I understand, thanks.
::Also, not sure if intentional (or if it'll actually make a difference), but I'd like to point out that you seem to have shortened their block by exactly a week, rather than reduce it to exactly three weeks.

I'm aware of how the merging process works - in consultation with other users. Though I would like to bring it to your attention that the pages for [[Zipp]], [[Tupp]] and [[Rapp]] are startlingly similar, particularly their history sections, namely because the trio have always appeared together. I believe there is merit in merging these three pages into a new page entirely titled "Team Skull trio" much like the [[Eevee brothers]] or [[Kimono Girl]] pages.

== Champion appears ==
Since Ash is now the Alola League Champion, all episodes featuring him from now on can technically be placed under the "Episodes in which a Champion appears" category. But that could make things get a little cluttered in the future, so what should be done? I personally think that we should limit that category's usage in regards to Ash for just the SM episodes. What's your opinion? What would be a good solution in your opinion? --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 20:19, 3 November 2019 (UTC)
:The intent of the category is to exclude Ash (or else every episode after the Orange League would already have him), but the staff are still discussing the best course of action. --[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 20:35, 3 November 2019 (UTC)

== Giravoltorb ==
I found the [[:es:Giravoltorb|Giravoltorb]] article on WikiDex, but it doesn't have any interwikis and the corresponding articles on [[Voltorb Flip|Bulbapedia]], [[:fr:Voltorbataille|Poképédia]] and [[:it:Gira Voltorb|Pokémon Central Wiki]] have no interwiki link to the article on WikiDex. Please make sure BulbaBot/WikiBot corrects that (on the WikiDex article, add the link to [[:de:Dukatia City Spielhalle#Voltofalle|German article]] as well). --[[User:TheICTLiker4|<span style="color:#7b7">'''TheICT'''</span>]][[Special:Contributions/TheICTLiker4|<span style="color:#585">'''Liker4'''</span>]]<sup>[[User talk:TheICTLiker4|<span style="color:#363">'''piszże do mnie'''</span>]]</sup> 09:13, 9 November 2019 (UTC)
:You don't have to notify me of these, you can just add the link to the Voltorb Flip page and wait for it to propagate. If it doesn't get added to the other wikis within 24 hours or so, then poke me. --[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 15:28, 9 November 2019 (UTC)

== Username change ==
Hi, abcboy. Can you change my username to '''Keyacom'''? I want to change it because my new username will be easier to remember. Well, with changing my username, some things must be done by BulbaBot:
* Change interwikis on my userpages on all other EP members (except 52Poké Wiki, which I don't have an account on).
:* The userpages: [[:de:Benutzer:TrikephaloFan635|PokéWiki]], [[:fr:Utilisateur:4RayquazaDress.|Poképédia]], [[:es:Usuario:Toxtricity28|WikiDex]], [[:it:Utente:Infernape4All.|Pokémon Central Wiki]], [[:ja:User:ボイタさん|ポケモンWiki]].
:* On the PokéWiki page, add the interwiki to my WikiDex userpage (I am currently <span class="plainlinks">[{{fullurl:de:Spezial:Logbuch|type=block&user=&page=TrikephaloFan635&wpdate=&tagfilter=&subtype=}} blocked]</span> on PokéWiki).
:* The links to ''Special:Contributions/TheICTLiker4'' should be replaced by ''Special:Contributions/Keyacom'' on talk pages.
And the thing you should do:
* Move all subpages with the prefix ''User:TheICTLiker4/'' (if they won't move automatically).
And that's it for the username change request. --[[User:TheICTLiker4|<span style="color:#7b7">'''TheICT'''</span>]][[Special:Contributions/TheICTLiker4|<span style="color:#585">'''Liker4'''</span>]]<sup>[[User talk:TheICTLiker4|<span style="color:#363">'''piszże do mnie'''</span>]]</sup> 13:44, 7 December 2019 (UTC)

::I think I will stay under my current username until summer 2020. This is the time Kogoro is active the most. I don't know why Kogoro is inactive in autumn/fall and winter. Also, the {{bp|FAQ}} page states that usernames can be changed by any [[EB]] member, but right now, you have notified me that only Kogoro (or any other user, as long as they are the {{bp|EiC}}) can do this. --[[User:TheICTLiker4|<span style="color:#7b7">'''TheICT'''</span>]][[Special:Contributions/TheICTLiker4|<span style="color:#585">'''Liker4'''</span>]]<sup>[[User talk:TheICTLiker4|<span style="color:#363">'''piszże do mnie'''</span>]]</sup> 16:32, 7 December 2019 (UTC)
==Template removed==
I don't wanna be upset, but why do you removed my Template about Ruins? --[[User:Modikisha|Modikisha]] ([[User talk:Modikisha|talk]]) 18:46, 7 December 2019 (UTC)
:[[:Category:Ruins]] already serves that purpose. In addition, the ruins aren't very similar to each other beyond their names; most of them don't serve the same function as each other. --[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 18:53, 7 December 2019 (UTC)
::Okay, thanks. Och, and another case. It's about Ability Infobox. I'm really interested that Abilities have a type color. One of my friends say Abilities shouldn't have type. So I wanted to ask why Ability Infobox have a type color command. --[[User:Modikisha|Modikisha]] ([[User talk:Modikisha|talk]]) 19:50, 7 December 2019 (UTC)

== Requests again ==
I tried asking this at the forums, but you didn't reply there, so I'll repeat it here: why did you edit the trainerentry template to make only the "Macro Cosmos" part of the "Macro Cosmos's" Trainer class be a link? And the same with "GAME FREAK" and "GAME FREAK's"? Could you edit the template to include the "'s" parts in the links for those Trainer classes?<br>
Also, [[Talk:Energy Plant|I'm not the only one]] who thinks the Energy Plant only includes the bottom floor, not the Tower Summit. After all, both of them are technically part of Hammerlocke Stadium: the stadium is on the ground floor, the Energy Plant is underground, and the Tower Summit is at the highest point of the stadium. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 20:29, 7 December 2019 (UTC)
:There wasn't a consensus among the staff that 's is actually part of the Trainer class name (since for GAME FREAK, it's still "GAME FREAK" in every other language except English).
:There wasn't a consensus among the staff either way on the Energy Plant/Tower Summit. --[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 20:56, 7 December 2019 (UTC)

== Clean-Up Section Removal Request ==
So I am sure if your the admin I am suppose to talk to, but can me and more likely others have permission to remove the clean parts that were added recently to some of the  Pokémon from Generation VIII and those who has Gigantamax and regional forms if this is alright? The reason I feel like they are really helping out and some that have already been cleaned up to meet the standards have not been removed yet. I am concern that is going to start causing confusion and won't know if the Pokémon pages have been fully cleaned up or still need more. I get some need more updating like describing appearance of  Pokémon like Eternatus for example but lately it hasn't been very effective and causing more harm than good.  Plus some of the clean-up have unfortunately deleted some of hard of work of great edits who help make the biology fun to enjoy and met the standards. If approved, I or someone else will start removing those that don't need it anymore, if not thant it will be left alone and let the heads decide on it. I hope this is alright that I mention this.--[[User:Jacob9594|Jacob Kogan]] ([[User talk:Jacob9594|talk]]) 02:21, 22 December 2019 (UTC)
== New Facebook Games ==
Two new Pokémon games were announced, [[Pokémon Tower Battle]], and [[Pokémon Medallion Battle]]. I have already edited the [[Template:Spin-off Pokémon games|Spin-off Pokémon games]] template. Can you work on this and see if the template needs a new section for Facebook games? Also, the pages should be created, I'm not interested to create a fully fledged page right now. [[User:Tag365|Tag365]] ([[User talk:Tag365|talk]]) 03:27, 24 December 2019 (UTC)
:I've created the bare structure of the page, they'll still need to be expanded. --[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 00:59, 28 December 2019 (UTC)
== Ability Template ==
Hey, I've asked this question SnorlaxMonster a few days ago, but he didn't answer yet so I am asking you. Could you add in Pokemon templates on Abilities' pages possibility to add information since when the Pokemon can have this particular ability. As it is now, it's really misleading for example in case of Pelliper which can have Drizzle as one of its abilities but only since generation 7, but both Pokemon and ability were theoretically available in generation 3. You just could make possible to add template like "Sup/8" to the name of ability, but with symbol of generation instead of game.--'''[[User:Team Rocket Grunt|<span style="color:#CC0000">Rocket</span> <span style="color:#666666">Grunt</span>]] ([[User talk:Team Rocket Grunt|<span style="color:#CCCCCC">Report To Me</span>]])''' 23:24, 25 December 2019 (UTC)
== Bot request ==
I have a small request for you: Galar's Battle Tower article was just moved from "Battle Tower (Galar)" to "Battle Tower (Generation VIII)" to keep up the pattern with the other Battle Tower articles. But we still have a ton of redirect links which were created before the page was moved, so could I request that you make Bulbabot change every <nowiki>{{gal|Battle Tower}}</nowiki> to <nowiki>{{gdis|Battle Tower|VIII}}</nowiki>?<br>PS. How's my suggestion for the BP template coming along? Can it be put to use yet? --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 10:06, 27 December 2019 (UTC)
:Done. As for the BP template, the staff have not come to any decision on it. --[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 00:59, 28 December 2019 (UTC)

== Max Raid Battle Listings ==
As you know, literally all the [[Wild Area]] location pages are missing their respective Max Raid listings. I've managed to compile the full listings, but am still unsure how you guys want to approach it. The information is all here:
* [[User:TehPerson/Max Raid Battle]]
Not mainspacing the info yet because 1) it's incredibly tedious and 2) if there's any mistake in how it's done, it'll just have to be redone. Wondering if you or one of the staff can take a crack at doing one page so that we can set the precedent for how the rest should be done.
Also, just a note: the naming of "Den 1, 2, 3..." are actually lazy misnomers. More accurately they're pools that belong to each of the 99 Dens in the Wild Area. So when mainspaced, the pools shouldn't be synonymously referred to as "Dens".
[[User:TehPerson|TehPerson]] ([[User talk:TehPerson|talk]]) 00:33, 28 December 2019 (UTC)
:I'll pass it on to the rest of the staff. --[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 00:59, 28 December 2019 (UTC)
::Just an update on this, I figured that the simplest way would just arbitrarily name each Den "Den A, B, C..." and have it formatted as such:
::* [[User:TehPerson/Max Raid Battle/A]]
::Unless any of the staff already has different ideas, I already have all the info ready to copy-paste onto their respective location pages. (If there's any objection to the redundant listings for version-exclusive den spawns, that can easily be fixed upon mainspacing.)
