== Moveanime template images ==

I wrote on the Moveanime [[Template talk:Moveanime#I have a request|talk page]] about increasing the image count from 4 to 5 several months ago since Kenji-girl had a rule about showing the images per series (currently five) but there wasn't any response about it. I wasn't sure if it was being discussed or it was forgotten about since it is a template used in many pages. [[User:Pattyman|<span style="color:orange">Patty</span>]][[User talk:Pattyman|<span style="color:orange">Man</span>]] 17:16, 24 April 2014 (UTC)
:I'll have a talk with Kenji-girl about it, see what her ideas on it are. The biggest issue I see with trying to have an image from every series is that it will eventually result in far too many pictures in the template to fit. We'll look into what should be the best option. - [[User:Kogoro|'''<span class="sc" style="color:#DA70D6;">Kogoro</span>''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''<span class="sc" style="color:#FFB6C1;">Talk to me</span>''']] - 00:47, 28 April 2014 (UTC)
::We should be able to update the template to add up to two more images, at absolute maximum. I'll get working on an update in my userspace when I am finished with the spritebox upgrades.

== Concerning Glitchdex work ==

As SnorlaxMonster hasn't replied to my messages in a year, and I need an answer before I do anything, I figured I'd come and ask you, the new EiC. I left two messages on [[User_talk:SnorlaxMonster|SnorlaxMonster's talk page]]{{tt|.|Just Ctrl+F my name to find them}} Could you possibly answer my questions?

:The new [[Template talk:Availability/Header|availability templates]] should make your first question mostly obsolete. The new templates aren't all bunched together like the old ones, and should allow the freedom to only list the generations (and games) needed for glitches. As for the Missingno. sprites question, I'll have to take some time and look into the issue & get back to you on that one. - [[User:Kogoro|'''<span class="sc" style="color:#DA70D6;">Kogoro</span>''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''<span class="sc" style="color:#FFB6C1;">Talk to me</span>''']] - 07:33, 6 May 2014 (UTC)

== Username Change ==

First off I am sorry to bother you with this request and I hope it is not to hard. I would like to change my username to Cryptic Midnight. The reason why I want this username change is because I had a 11 year-old mentality when I first created my account. I was dumb and put my first initial and last name in my username. I now realize at the age of 16 that this was very dumb and I hope you can fix it. Sincerely, [[User:Dbeckelheimer6|Dbeckelheimer6]] ([[User talk:Dbeckelheimer6|talk]]) 03:27, 15 May 2014 (UTC)

== Just to clarify ==

So basically, anything located in the moves pages and moving pages are stuff that definitely require staff approval, as well as anything on a lot of pages? On another topic, I have been doing a good job with adding the appearances of moves in the manga, right? This wouldn't count that time with the Double-Edge incident which I got to admit that it was wrong of me to make those massive edits that led to the block. [[User:Pattyman|<span style="color:orange">Patty</span>]][[User talk:Pattyman|<span style="color:orange">Man</span>]] 20:59, 28 May 2014 (UTC)
:Anything regarding moving a large segment of information from one page to another (or to a subpage) should get staff approval, to be sure that it's a necessary action and that the best action is taken. What you've been doing with manga additions to the move articles seems fine to me, but I'd suggest checking with Ataro to see if there's any suggestions he may have. - [[User:Kogoro|'''<span class="sc" style="color:#DA70D6;">Kogoro</span>''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''<span class="sc" style="color:#FFB6C1;">Talk to me</span>''']] - 08:30, 29 May 2014 (UTC)

== Forums? ==

Hi. I have a question. What are forums? Sometimes when I discuss something about a character or a Pokémon on their talk page, people delete what I write and always say "That goes on the forums." Can you explain to me why people are doing that to me? I don't want to cause any trouble. --[[User:PKMNAdventurer|PKMNAdventurer]] ([[User talk:PKMNAdventurer|talk]]) 05:30, 31 May 2014 (UTC)
:[http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/forum.php The Bulbagarden Forums], they're full of discussion regarding Pokémon. Including theories, speculation, people's opinions regarding all segments of the franchise, and a whole lot more. Anything that isn't about improving an article, or discussing edits, is very likely to be forums material rather than something to be posted on talk pages. The recent one about Serena was okay for a talk page, though it heavily read like a general complaint against the character rather than a question about trivia. I apologize for the revert there, and I've responded to the question at hand. (The timestamps got confused, however, making the reply seem like it didn't happen... Silly software.) - [[User:Kogoro|'''<span class="sc" style="color:#DA70D6;">Kogoro</span>''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''<span class="sc" style="color:#FFB6C1;">Talk to me</span>''']] - 05:38, 31 May 2014 (UTC)

== TPP article Edit Timer ==

Does the 6 hour rule apply to things like fixing minor table errors, or should that be left to someone else (i.e. EB) during that "do not edit" time period? For example, [[Twitch_Plays_Pokémon#Released|this]] is simply missing a <code><nowiki>|-</nowiki></code> in the table, and has a stray comment tail after it. (All in all that's probably a 0 byte change but doing it would reset the timer). [[User:Schiffy|<span style="color:DarkGreen">Schiffy (瀬藤健二)</span>]] ([[User talk:Schiffy|<span style="color:#FF6600">Talk</span>]] [[Special:Contributions/Schiffy|<span style="color:#FF0000">Contribs</span>]]) 15:48, 5/31/2014 (UTC)
:Small fixes are typically best done moments after the last update, so the timer doesn't get reset too massively, or done with the next major update. If you spot a problem, leave a note on the talk page and a staff member should handle it. - [[User:Kogoro|'''<span class="sc" style="color:#DA70D6;">Kogoro</span>''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''<span class="sc" style="color:#FFB6C1;">Talk to me</span>''']] - 19:28, 31 May 2014 (UTC)

== Thank you ==

Thanks for putting the Type Effectiveness chart up for Mega Sceptile.

I had just figured 99% of it out before I saw your edit. All I needed to left was to google the alt code for ¼ and I would have had it lol. It took me a while, and I cursed so bad in frustration, that a Grimmer would have put soap in my mouth, but at least I know what to do for the next time.

Anyways, thanks again for putting the chart up and cheers.[[User:Yamitora1|Yamitora1]] ([[User talk:Yamitora1|talk]]) 07:19, 13 June 2014 (UTC)

== Couple pages for mainspace ==

(As a preamble, I'd like to say it was nice when the [http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/f195/candidates-merging-moving-mainspacing-splitting-discussion-thread-114138/ Candidates for merging/moving/mainspacing/splitting] thread was in use, so people (I) at least had some idea that the staff was considering stuff at all. At the moment, I don't have the ''first clue'' what staff is or isn't up to...)

The pages:
*[[User:Tiddlywinks/Hotel hoppers]]
*[[User:Tiddlywinks/Juice Shoppe]]
I would appreciate if staff would consider approving these to move into the mainspace. In either case, if some modification is called for, that's fine, but these subjects definitely deserve pages in the mainspace.

Re:hotel hoppers:<br>Stuff like [[Camphrier Town#Pokémon]] really is not adequate: the hotels are not random, and users should not have to be searching about Kalos for the hotels these people appear in (or even searching the ones they've seen them appear in to find the hotel a specific person is in that day). There's really no good way to communicate this information except in a page more or less like the one I made. If that page is in the mainspace, [[Camphrier Town#Pokémon|this]] sort of thing (or [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Eevee_%28Pok%C3%A9mon%29&curid=2361&diff=2135118&oldid=2135113 this]) can easily contain a link to that page.

Re:Juice Shoppe:<br>The Juice Shoppe juices are basically Kalos's Pokeblocks or Poffins: you combine Berries to get something to feed to your Pokemon. In this case, instead of affecting Contest stats, they affect EVs, levels, and friendship. Though the Juice Shoppe may be confined to [[Lumiose City]], the juice mechanics are quite irrelevant to Lumiose; they deserve their own page. ...Thinking of it in the light of Pokeblocks and Poffins, I suppose the page could be named "Berry juice" and the Lumiose page could talk generally about the shop and link to that page for the mechanics (and that page would take out the stuff about the shop in general).  ...The problem is, "Berry Juice" conflicts with the {{DL|Drink|Berry Juice}} drink... Maybe "Berry Juice (Kalos)" or something? Well, under whatever name, the mechanics should be on a separate page rather than unnecessarily cluttering up the Lumiose City article. (A suggestion was previously made to include some pictures, but I don't know how I'm expected to get any, and the page should ''not'' languish indefinitely in the userspace just because there is no convenient means for the average user to get good pictures...)

== Kalos secondary type "triangle" ==

I would like staff to weigh in on whether the Kalos secondary types (Dark/Psychic/Fighting) form a "triangle" analogous to the primary types (Water/Fire/Grass). (This stems mostly from [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Starter_Pok%C3%A9mon&curid=1162&diff=2134311&oldid=2134310 here] and [[User talk:Force Fire#Your Starter Pokémon edit|here]].) I don't know where I should ask this so I bring the request directly to you.

The short of it is, Dark/Psychic/Fighting come so close to the exact same relationship as Water/Fire/Grass that I cannot see it as anything but intentional. I.e., that the designers intended it as a parallel to the "triangle" of the primary types. In five whole generations, there has basically been only one single data point for the starters' "type triangle". However, a definition based only on one example is inherently and massively flawed. Considering Water/Fire/Grass and Dark/Psychic/Fighting together, though, it's easy to see a triangular pattern/definition that fits both: "Type X has an offensive and defensive advantage against Type Y".

It is apparent to me that the designers made this choice deliberately. Our definition of a "triangle" (if "we" have one) is effectively artificial in the first place; I see no good reason to not accept a definition that actually fits the pattern that the designers were by all appearances aiming for with the Kalos starters' final forms.

:It's not our place to assume what Game Freak's intentions were.

== Curious Query ==

[[User:Force Fire|Force Fire]] sent me your way with this question.

I think I've proven by now, even with my sporadic editing, that I'm not a troublesome editor.  Meanwhile, I predict that the site will go on lockdown on or just before November 21.  Since I edit sporadically, and I like doing my own edits (since I am a grammar Nazi and somesuch), I'd like to know how I can avoid being slammed by a lockdown.  I've also done some updating on Gen. VI moves after the lockdown was lifted from X/Y, but could have done a lot more had I not been stopped for a while (I could have confirmed a lot of learned moves throughout my play).  Further, I sometimes edit little bits or edit for grammar on episode articles, which have nothing to do with the games and are still hit by a lockdown.  Finally, I've tried requesting edits before, but I never got any response from anyone; basically, staff were too busy with new games to answer anything else.

So my question is this: how can I avoid being barred from editing pages during any brief lockdown in the event I have an insightful edit to make?  I can even help with requested edits during any such lockdown if I'm not busy with something else at the time.  [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 01:42, 6 July 2014 (UTC)
:There is no guaranteed way to get on the list of users that are given the ability to edit while editing is locked.

::Darn.  I hate being locked out by such a thing.  I still can't understand why they need to lock the entire site for an extended period of time; I think it would make more sense to have people monitor the Recent Changes page and quickly reverse anything that's wrong.

:::It's a necessary evil in order to get work done in timely and efficient manner. In the past, we weren't able to lock editing and the mass of false information, rumors, and blatant vandalism was so great that the staff had to near-exclusively focus on reverting these issues.

The fans want information as soon as possible, and our aim is to have accurate information up to best meet with these demands.

::::Yeah, that's why I'm trying to see if I can get past that before it hits.  When it does hit, I never hear from anyone, even if I'm trying to make an edit that never gets made.  That turns out as a bad experience.  Ya know what I mean? =)
::::That said, there is less information to do this time, so I can't see why the entire site would need locking this time.  There might be a few changes to movesets (hey, FR/LG did it, I think HG/SS did it), but those should be quick to verify if someone posts one.  I could even test them if I have the Pokémon. LOL  Unless that's where Move Tutors get added, and then updating pages with Secret Power (for instance) would be a mess; that I can understand.

== New [[Template:Sign]] ==

There are two problems with the Sign template.

1) It's implemented rather horribly, asking you to use the template repeatedly for rather trivial reasons. If we would just let the user format the lines for the sign manually, the whole thing can easily be handled in one call. ...Fixing the current template to work like this either means temporarily breaking all current uses of it or creating a new template.

2) The BW sign that someone created is hugely complicated by its constant use of {{template|!}}. ...To solve this, it'd be nice to just create a separate template for this sign where it can build a table properly/legibly.

So: can I split the Sign template into templates for each Gen like Sign/1, Sign/2 (redirect to 1 for now maybe), and so on? That way I can write the new templates correctly without breaking everything, and BW can build its table cleanly (and they'll just generally be less crowded). Then I can go and update all the current usages of Sign to these new templates. (...All the mainspace uses at least shouldn't be ''too'' bad.)

::It's not a real top-priority template to change, but it's not a bad idea to clean it up and make it more manageable. You're welcome to build up split versions in your userspace & make sure they're working correctly. Let me know when you've got them working, then we'll look into getting them live. - [[User:Kogoro|'''<span class="sc" style="color:#DA70D6;">Kogoro</span>''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''<span class="sc" style="color:#FFB6C1;">Talk to me</span>''']] - 06:39, 30 July 2014 (UTC)
:::I have created the templates: [[User:Tiddlywinks/Sign/1]], [[User:Tiddlywinks/Sign/3]], [[User:Tiddlywinks/Sign/4]], and [[User:Tiddlywinks/Sign/5]]. I have also created some [[User:Tiddlywinks/Sign#Template use examples|usage examples]] based off of current uses of [[Template:Sign]] around the wiki. They should all look exactly the same (or nearly so) as the current template produces. I haven't done exhaustive testing, but I believe these templates all work fine, so I now present them for your inspection.

== Rayquaza ex δ Card Picture ==

The page [[Rayquaza ex δ (EX Dragon Frontiers 97)]] has a message at the top stating that the picture is not of good quality. Therefore, here is a better scan: [http://i58.tinypic.com/72u809.png]. [[User:Moaz786|Moaz786]] ([[User talk:Moaz786|talk]]) 00:07, 14 July 2014 (UTC)
:While we appreciate the attention and time you spent getting the image and changing the file extension, card images of poor quality should be replaced with actual card scans, and not from the non holofoil images from the official site. It eliminates extra temporary files that, in the end, will need to be replaced with higher quality images anyway.

== City population counts ==

Do you know how they are supposed to be counted, or does every person who adds them decide whether to include or exclude certain people? For example, should Pokémon Center nurses or Poké Mart employees be counted? --[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 15:21, 4 August 2014 (UTC)

On very old comments over a year, would it be okay to add the {{Template|Dead link}} template to external links that no longer work? I wasn't sure about doing that so I'm asking you.

== Bulbapedia API or JSON Bulbapedia Library ==

Does there happen to be an API or a Library in JSON format available for this site and its Pokémon data? I would like to create a Pokémon RP bot that would make use of commands to keep track of XP, Evolution, Learned Moves, TMs, Health, and some battle stats. If I could somehow acquire a link or a download page for a library that would be a great starting point. [[User:SomePerson|SomePerson]] ([[User talk:SomePerson|talk]]) 01:16, 13 August 2014 (UTC)

== Adding to trivia ==

Hi, Kogoro. I want to add to the trivia on Professor Sycamore: to date, he has given out the most starter Pokémon to date, with a grand total of 8. Blazingfist recommended me going here. Does it seem like it's notable or suitable enough? [[User:WATERWARRIOR67|WATERWARRIOR67]] ([[User talk:WATERWARRIOR67|talk]]) 12:43, 7 September 2014 (UTC)
:Since it's an anime fact, it would need to be noted that it's specific to the anime. Otherwise, it's an interesting enough little factoid to include. - [[User:Kogoro|'''<span class="sc" style="color:#DA70D6;">Kogoro</span>''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''<span class="sc" style="color:#FFB6C1;">Talk to me</span>''']] - 23:30, 7 September 2014 (UTC)
