Welcome
Welcome to Bulbapedia, Bye!
As a new user, you may wish to learn a few things that will be useful in your editing:
- For a basic overview of wiki code, see this page.
- The manual of style is very important. Make sure to read it. It outlines all official policies of Bulbapedia.
- Keep an eye on the Messages from the Editor on the main page, to stay informed on current events on Bulbapedia.
- The word Pokémon is spelled with a capital P and an accented é. The é can be accessed by holding Alt and typing either 130 or 0233 on a Windows computer, and by using Option + e, then e again on a Mac. Otherwise, you can easily click it in the character palette below the editbox.
- The word Poké Ball is spelled as two words. The "Poké" part is identical to the four beginning letters in "Pokémon"; "Ball" is spelled with a capital B. The spelling "Pokéball" arises frequently, but is incorrect.
- The word "you" and all forms of it should not be used on encyclopedic pages unless it is a quote from Pokémon or other media. Bulbapedia is an encyclopedia, not a walkthrough.
- On talk pages, please sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).
- The use of link templates is official policy. For an explanation on their use, see the page on shortlinks.
- If you happen to spot a vandal in the recent changes that has not been dealt with, please see this page for how to deal with it.
- A list of pages that are linked to, but have not been created, can be found at this page. A list of short articles that may require more information can be found here, while a list of articles that need improvement can be found here.
- For a future capture, release, trade, or evolution of a Pokémon belonging to a main character of the anime, please do not create or move the page to reflect your suspicions, even if they are shared by many others. Policy here is to wait until the episode in which the event happens takes place is aired, unless there is substantial evidence for the suspicion (such as Brock's Happiny being held in his arms).
- Image uploading is done on Bulbagarden Archives, a separate wiki accessible through the toolbox in the sidebar. This is done so that both Bulbapedia and Bulbanews have access to the images uploaded. To activate your account at the Archives and Bulbanews, please login there using the same username and password you use here on Bulbapedia.
- If you want to make a page about a character you made up, please create it at User:Bye/(name), not merely (name). Bulbapedia's main namespace is reserved for actual, official Pokémon, items, characters, and locations. Also, please try to make sure that subpages are not categorized by templates used within.
- Having said this, please make sure that you do contribute adequately to the main namespace. Bulbapedia is not MySpace or Facebook.
- A list of the admins that you can contact in case of a problem can be found here.
Thank you, and have a good time editing here! --CoolPikachu! 00:30, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

Serebii is not official
Saying "No It's Ash's Couse I Read on Serbii it said That Ash's Cyndaquill Is Gonna Evolve into Quliva" is definitely not going to win an argument. Serebii is not and never was official. He has been wrong about the anime on several occasions, so don't claim that his word is right without completely official proof. Also, put your comment before your signature, not in the middle of it.--Pokélova! 07:02, 1 June 2010 (UTC)
The Preview Button
It loves you. It wants your love. But you are not giving it love. It is very lonely. Please give it love.
tl;dr - use the preview button instead of saving ten gazillion times. 梅子❀✿ 03:12, 25 June 2010 (UTC)
hey Thanks But Suzuran Conference Is Protected Now - unsigned comment from Bye (talk • contribs)
Hi
I noticed you have been editing the User: namespace a lot recently. Please don't do it any more, though. Bulbapedia's Userspace policy restricts the amount you can edit your userpage. This policy was instated to prevent strain on our server, and also to promote people helping out in the mainspace. Bulbapedia is an encyclopedia, after all, so help us out by contributing to some articles before coming back to your personal userpage. The more often you edit in the mainspace, the more you will be allowed to edit your userpage. Thanks! ----rockersk08 17:05, 25 June 2010 (UTC)
Regarding your recent page of "Triple Battles"
The reason Darkeiya protected those pages was to prevent speculation...hence the edit summary of "speculation crackdown". What that means is that we are protecting them to prevent users from making them at all...Next time you see a bunch of links protected, don't create the page at a different name. Thanks...--Psyライダー☮ 00:57, 28 June 2010 (UTC)
Yanappu
In future search the userspace before adding your own pages to the mainspace, the name Dent's Yanappu should of been protected so its not really your fault Diamond Lanturn CodeName: 05308 11:33, 14 October 2010 (UTC)
Flint
He is not a new member in the trio. When they escaped Jenny in BW010, he flew to different direction.----無限の知性 ◎ ＤＥＮＮＯＵ◆ＺＥＮＳＨＩ 12:32, 24 November 2010 (UTC)
Signature
As per the signature policy, your signature must reflect your actual username, in whole or part. --SnorlaxMonster 13:15, 11 January 2011 (UTC)
DP Specials
Kenji has been working on the episodes since 4 or 5 days and she already made the articles in her userspace as well. In fact, it was her decision to make the DP special articles in the userspace first. At least, you should have asked her before creating them. ♫♪AdyNiz♪♫ 14:45, 11 January 2011 (UTC)
Iris's Picture
Can you please link me to the page you found that picture on? I would like to look at it. --Pokemaster97 23:46, 26 January 2011 (UTC)
