I wanted to edit some Pokémon pages to have information on Pokémon Go because some gen. II Pokémon were added to the game. I know how to use the template, but the problem is there are no images for them. How do I upload these images?

:Sorry for taking so long to answer, as I have not been feeling particularly well lately.
:I guess I'm a bit confused here. Are you saying that you have the images for Pokémon GO Gen. II additions, or are you asking whether it's possible to get them? I did ask and it seems we might not have the images ourselves yet, so while you could technically do the template work, it would obviously look weird without the image. If you are saying you have the images and need help uploading, I can help with that.  [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 19:57, 1 February 2017 (UTC)
::Yeah, I have the images and figured out how to upload them, but it seems I can't do it myself cause I don't have an account in the archives (and even if I had one I'd have to do some other stuff first 'cause rules). So I need help uploading them. [[User:TepiGreninja|TepiGreninja]] ([[User talk:TepiGreninja|talk]]) 01:24, 2 February 2017 (UTC)
:::I would be happy to help. Do you have Discord? It might be best to connect there. You'll find my name (it's exactly the same, can't miss me) in the list of people in pretty much any of the rooms you'll have access to in the Bulbagarden set of channels, so send me a message there.
:::Alternatively, we'll have to try to communicate here, but in that case I can provide further instructions.  [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 06:21, 2 February 2017 (UTC)
::::Alright, I created a Discord account and joined the Bulbagarden server (my username is Peridorito). So now I have to wait for you to log in so I can send you a message? [[User:TepiGreninja|TepiGreninja]] ([[User talk:TepiGreninja|talk]]) 16:44, 2 February 2017 (UTC)
:::::Nah, you could have right-clicked my name and selected "Message" and just start typing. =)  I could do it myself (a name search brought you up), but you seem to be offline so I will wait.  [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 18:46, 2 February 2017 (UTC)
== Shuffle Mega page ==
In case you don't notice it in your watchlist, I wanted to alert you that I finished the draft of a Shuffle Mega page and posted the link on [[Talk:List of Pokémon by Pokémon Shuffle list number‎]]. Let me know what you think! :) [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 17:13, 26 April 2017 (UTC)
:Yes, I do have the page watchlisted. I noticed it right away. I have yet to look at the page, however.  [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 17:14, 26 April 2017 (UTC)
== Shuffle/Version history ==
I have a fairly radical proposal to suggest: [[User:Pumpkinking0192/Shuffle history proposal]]. Basically, for all updates that 3DS and Mobile share (which is almost all of them, nowadays), it makes more sense to me to just list them once instead of duplicating them. This will require a fairly heavy amount of work that I'm willing to do, but I wanted to get a yes or no first before I go to that effort.
While I'm going through making those changes, I would also aim to standardize the formatting of entries better, correct spelling and grammar, and (shudder) attempt to link every event to the proper sections on, for example, [[Special Stages]] or [[Escalation Battle]]. (Now that I think about it, are you planning to split off Daily Pokemon, Safari, or Great Challenge into their own articles like Escalation Battle and Competitive Stage? If so, I'll wait on this until after that's done, so I don't have to go back and re-link things.) [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 05:34, 19 May 2017 (UTC)
:I've recently been thinking about this as well. The only problem is that some updates do add unique things on the Mobile version (not sure about 3DS), and there might still be enough different between them to warrant keeping them separated. An idea that came to my mind was putting tables next to each other (see for instance places with TCG decklists next to each other, such as some of the battle decks or in-game NPC decks I've listed next to each other on the NPC pages), but with the amount of prose inside individual cells, I wonder if converting to complete text makes more sense, too.
:I'll bring this up with staff and see what they think. Give me a little time to get back to you on this. I'll poke you on your talk page.  [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 05:38, 19 May 2017 (UTC)
