Welcome
Welcome to Bulbapedia, Dragoness!
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.
- Read over the style primer before making your edits. It is a basic outline of Bulbapedia style. For a more in-depth set of rules, see the manual of style.
- 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.
- 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:Dragoness/(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.
- There are certain restrictions on the content and amount of userspace content a user is allowed. For details, see the Userspace policy.
- Unless prior permission is given, no user is permitted to edit another user's page. Furthermore, edits to other users' pages are permitted only if there are problems that spread to other parts of Bulbapedia, such as broken links that appear on the wanted pages, switching out duplicate images that appear on the Archives, etc.
- Fan fictions, missions, riddles, games, and anything else deemed not suitable for the wiki will not be allowed. If you would like to add something, but do not know if it is acceptable, ask an administrator.
- A list of administrators that you can contact in case of a problem can be found here.
Thank you, and have a good time editing here! --- Kogoro | Talk to me - 07:52, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
Deketing
If you want to a page to be deleted, put {{delete}} on it.--KK llnn 01:34, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
- Oh thanks ^^; Looks like someone fixed it already. Dragoness 01:35, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
Movesets
The "Previous" means that the move was acquired from its pre-evolution. So please, undo your edit. --☆Kevzo8 13:14, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
- I know what "Previous" means, I'm just saying that the many of the other pages don't seem to use them. I left them intact anyway, so I don't see what the problem is... Dragoness 13:16, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
- In Metapod and Kakuna's page, you deleted the "Previous" there, isn't it?--☆Kevzo8 13:22, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
- On Metapod's page, Tackle and String Shot were incorrectly labelled as "Start". I'm fixing it now. Didn't know about the "Previous" until I saw Kakuna's page. Dragoness 13:23, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

Blaziken
How can a Blaziken from Gen III have the move Brave Bird? In your Sapphire, It says your Blaziken knows it.:P--Si6x12 17:44, 2 October 2010 (UTC)
- Lol, he does know it. He's sitting in my Pearl game right now. Doesn't mean he's not from Sapphire though. ;) Dragoness 18:00, 2 October 2010 (UTC)
Reasons why Audino is possibly based on a Leporid
These are the reasons it is a possibility:
1. It's abilities are based on sound and hearing, which leporids excel in.
2. Radar abilities via ears, which rabbits also use.
2. The cotton tail, which can be found on leporids.
The only qualities it shares with a koala is BARELY the ear shape, which I would say would just be a coincidence. - 050294 04:16, 15 February 2011 (UTC)
