== Small thing == | |||
I love that you are adding translations and kanji, but I like to make sure everything is translated the same on here. For instance, we have {{m|Tackle}} translated as Body Blow, and I like everything being the same. If you could do that, it would be helpful.

::::Hmmm. The thing is, the English translates so many things differently from the games... I don't know. But, another thing. I need to know when certain games moves appear in the tcg and are mistranslated as their game counterpart. There is a way we have to put that information on, and I need to know if you encountered any like that?

On your VS page, your link and image for Will's Espeon (76) is actually Sabrina's Espeon. I just thought you might want to change it.

== Annoying symbols == | |||
These two characters have popped up in a few attack names: '''だま'''. It is very similar to the pronounciation for "ball", but I keep getting stupid or no results. What do you think? <span style="color:#0066FF">'''[[Surf (move)|~~]]'''</span>'''[[User:nuva-kal|<span style="color:#00CCFF">nuva</span>]]'''<span style="color:#0066FF">'''-'''</span>[[User_talk:nuva-kal|<span style="color:#0099FF">'''kal'''</span>]] 20:25, 25 February 2009 (UTC) | |||
:Ball, sphere, or coin are normal translations for だま, and I can't think of any other instances where it be different, but context can change things weirdly. Going through your user history, I'm guessing the problem lies with the Delcattys? In Japanese folklore (or whatever), cats are thought of as hoarders of round objects, particularly coins, but for the Delcattys something plain like "(Double) Energy Ball MAX" is probably the best translation. Were there any other instances? --''[[User:Alamedyang|Alamedyang]] <small>([[User talk:Alamedyang|talk]])</small>'' 05:04, 26 February 2009 (UTC) | |||
::The only other instance I came across was with Raikou from Skyridge, I think. I had a feeling it would be the same, I just wanted to make sure.

There's also this too '''ピッカリ'''. I assume it is onomatopoeia for something electrical. <span style="color:#0066FF">'''[[Surf (move)|~~]]'''</span>'''[[User:nuva-kal|<span style="color:#00CCFF">nuva</span>]]'''<span style="color:#0066FF">'''-'''</span>[[User_talk:nuva-kal|<span style="color:#0099FF">'''kal'''</span>]] 16:37, 27 February 2009 (UTC) | |||
:I think that's a combination of ビックリ (surprise/astonishment) and the usual ピカピカ (glitter/sparkle). Since it's a conglomeration of the two words, I'm not sure how that would translate, but some variation of "shocking" might work. --''[[User:Alamedyang|Alamedyang]] <small>([[User talk:Alamedyang|talk]])</small>'' 03:07, 28 February 2009 (UTC) | |||

:I scanned it from the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game 2: Great Rocket Visits|TCG for GB2]] Official Guidebook, and erased the background manually (although it was on a white background, so I made it easy for myself by juggling channels in PhotoShop.) There are many more images I want to do this to, both from that book and a [[CoroCoro]] Strategy Guide for [[Pokémon Trading Card Game (video game)|the first TCG for GB game]], but many of them are not on a white background, have other images or text overlapping them, or have other problems that will take a long while to clean up. I'm currently working on an image of {{GB|2|Mint}}, and it should be up whenever I can find time to finish.

Hello again. I was searching your site and came across an [http://alamedyang.tejat.net/cards/scans/jap/p3/neo_gerbles.jpg awesome pic] of the legendary dogs from the Neo Premium file #3.

::We want to use it [[Legendary beasts|here]]. We are just looking for cool artwork of each of the trios.

If you could look at the remaining cards that still need Japanese names or translations, it would really help us out.
