Despite the timing, I’m less interested in the argument caused by my recent rash and unfortunate actions( although it would disingenuous to suggest that I haven’t considered the relationship between that and my question) and more curious about the use of in-article terminology. Specifically, I’m wondering about the use in prose, headers, and {{tt|article titles|list titles, particularly}} of the term “Round” for the smaller subdivisions of ''PA'' Chapters. It makes sense in Japanese where most of them are named “{{tt|VS[Pokémon]|e.g. Round 1 VSミュウ, Round 34 VSミュウツー(前編)}}”, but those are not the names in the Viz translations, nor( most of) the Chuang Yi volumes. Accordingly, CY and the Viz 1st editions call them Chapters( which admittedly could be confusing), while the Viz reprints call them {{tt|Adventures|e.g., ADVENTURE 001: A Glimpse of the Glow, ADVENTURE 34: And Mewtwo Too!?}}. I don’t think it makes sense to keep calling them rounds, especially in light of the shift towards English.<br>

Is there any opinion or consensus from the aforementioned discussion that would have a bearing on that? I intend to bring it up in the Project discussion soon but I would like to know the hard facts about the staff’s recent decision going in. I’m asking you specifically because you gave the most helpful answer to my question there about the reasons for the sudden policy reversal. Thanks! --[[User:LaprasBoi|LaprasBoi]] 13:57, 6 December 2009 (UTC)

:Well, that's a good question... But I'll have to discuss it with CoolPikachu and our Editorial Board. Generally - yes, we're an English wiki, and we prefer English names, with the sole exception of epicodes (PS001 will not be changes to PA001. And yes, there's a reason for that, but I won't go into it now). We can't use chapters, because the story arcs are referred to as chapters in Adventures. We for ADVENTURE 001... Well, a lot of manga series use names like that for their chapters (I can think of [[Mezase!! Card Master]] and [[Pocket Monsters Platinum: Aim to Be Battle King!!]] which use "BATTLE 1", [[Pokémon Get da ze!]] which uses "GET 1"). We still prefer chapters for consistency, but again, we can't use chapters in Adventures. I'll talk to the others about it. --[[User:ElectAbuzzzz|'''<span style="color:#ED9121">electAbuzz</span>''']][[User talk:ElectAbuzzzz|'''<span style="color:#ED9121">z</span>''']][[Special:Contributions/ElectAbuzzzz|'''<span style="color:#ED9121">z</span>''']] 14:10, 6 December 2009 (UTC)

Now as [[Ash's Torterra]] has evolved, I wonder if protection of [[Template:Ash's Pokémon]] is necessary anymore? --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] 12:29, 6 March 2010 (UTC)

== Seeing how you're the first admin I saw.... ==
There needs to be three new articles protected; [[Rioka]], Kuroto, and [[Crown City]]. I got Echy to protected variations of Rioko and Kuroto's names along with Kodai's. --[[User:Gizamimi Pichu|<font color="#FFD800">'''ギザみみピチュー'''</font>]]<sup>[[User talk:Gizamimi Pichu|<font color="#000000">''' 話して'''</font>]]</sup> 13:06, 6 March 2010 (UTC)
:Erm, why? I mean, we have some information on these things now, why not create the articles? Or at least make them protected redirects to [[M13]]? [[User:Kidburla|Kidburla]] 11:57, 7 March 2010 (UTC)
::We do not have enough information about them. Creating the articles now would be very premature.

What do you mean by it messes with the borders?

:That's because I added the missing Japanese ISBNs. Try viewing one with, say, a North American ISBN entered but no Japanese one, and you'll see what I mean. Now, I can fix that of course with more coding. The question is: do I ''need'' to? I mean, it's not possible for any volume to be released ''only'' outside of Japan. --[[User:ElectAbuzzzz|'''<span style="color:#ED9121">electAbuzz</span>''']][[User talk:ElectAbuzzzz|'''<span style="color:#ED9121">z</span>''']][[Special:Contributions/ElectAbuzzzz|'''<span style="color:#ED9121">z</span>''']] 21:03, 6 March 2010 (UTC)
::That's true but I just wanted it there because some of them don't have ISBN put yet on the Wiki and it looks ugly without the ISBN, no?

== M01 screenshots ==
Here are the screenshots you requested of me yesterday.  (I do also have episodes with some of those other custom-sprited Pokemon that I could screencap for you, but I'll have to check if I'll be able to screencap those DVDs without having to change my DVD drive's region settings again...)
Anyway.

If its not to much trouble i would like them all: the mewtwo colnes, the egg sprites, and other. But if thats too much trouble the egg sprites would do. [[User:Spritester|Spritester]] 03:27, 9 April 2010 (UTC)
== Killable usertags ==
I was thinking we could kill off just about all of the {{cat|Time zone tags}} except perhaps the first two (athough the second could probably be included into the first).  If this is OK-ed I can do it myself if necessary, I was just asking permission.--[[User:MisterE13|<span style="color:#0000FF">Mister</span>]][[User talk:MisterE13|<span style="color:#008000">'''E'''</span>]][[Special:Contributions/MisterE13|<span style="color:#800080">13</span>]] 13:58, 10 April 2010 (UTC)
