:::I've deleted the pages. As for the set names, I've ultimately gone with '''{{TCG|Awakened Heroes}}''' and '''{{TCG|Ultradimensional Beasts}}'''. As a general rule, set names don't contain any of the articles ''a, an'' or ''the'', unless they are linguistically forced to. Additionally, Pokémon has always officially treated the past tense of the word ''wake'' to be "awakened", and has literally never used "awoken" ({{TCG|Legends Awakened}}, [[M16|Pokémon the Movie: Genesect and the Legend Awakened]], etc.). As for the other half, although transdimensional may(?{{tt|*|I say may but I'm giving more credit than deserved}}) be more common in English, another accurate translation for the suffix 超- is Ultra- instead of Trans-, which as the set is introducing [[Ultra Beast]]s from [[Ultra Space]], '''Ultradimensional Beasts''' fits the brand more accurately. I know that a certain website has already hap-haphazardly translated the set names as the names you've presented, however, they are notorious for missing how the TCG connects to the Pokémon brand and franchise as a whole (that also goes for translations of individual cards in addition to set names and such). I appreciate you coming to me first before creating the pages, because we are able push forward with the best representation of the content instead of having to retrace our steps later.

:Can you be a little more specific with the concerns? I don't entirely think it will be a problem.

:Sorry should have said it sooner. Regarding the card number since it's different for English and Japanese.

::::Yeah, that's what we've done before. It had never been a problem yet. Any cards that have the same number are already the cards that belong there.

== Can you help? ==
So, I have a bunch of Pokemon stuff that would work well in Project Merchandise like this Pokemon Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon Official Alola Region Strategy Guide and I don't know where to put it's info in. (Actually a LOT of things!) How do I make pages and stuff like that?

== TCG Illustrator lists ==
This is probably not that important but thought I would ask anyways as you are the current head of the TCG. Why is it that some illustrators simply have Category lists linked for all the cards they have illustrated while others just have an in-page list? Would it not make sense to have artists who have far longer lists be given collapsible tables with lists for each card from each set they have made? I plan to expand some of the TCG illustrator lists later but I do not want to touch the pages of artists who have extensive lists before then. ''[[User:Frozen Fennec|<span style="color:teal">Frozen</span>]] [[User talk:Frozen Fennec|<span style="color:green">Fennec</span>]]'' 12:06, 10 June 2018 (UTC)
:It all came down to time and man-power. The pages that are only three sentences and then a massive list of pages were the old style, and we were in the middle of converting them into actually informative pages. Since we already had pages that were lists of illustrated cards (categories), we removed them from the information pages because there's no reason repeating such trivial bulk stats. [[Masakazu Fukuda]] and [[Atsuko Nishida]] are the style of illustrator pages we're looking for. Anything that currently still has the list of cards illustrated  are outdated compared to what we are currently looking for. We just didn't make it to update those ones yet.

::If you think about it, pages like [[Shizurow]] and [[Miki Tanaka]] literally say nothing about the illustrator at all. They should talk about their contribution to the card game, their personalized style, the types of times they get contracted to illustrate for not only the TCG but all promotional media, etc, etc. [https://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-news/shining-a-light-on-new-card-art/ Pokemon.com] and other official websites occasionally release content detailing the illustrators, and we should compile content like that instead a bunch of links and lists that say nothing about the person at all.

== Username Change ==
Hi there, was hoping I could get my username changed/updated to "danke", which is my most common translation username. Let me know if this is possible. Thanks. [[User:Mefredbob|Mefredbob]] ([[User talk:Mefredbob|talk]]) 20:17, 24 June 2018 (UTC)
== About List of Abilities ==
Sorry for any bother due by my changes on Pokémon Power article. The Outdated template on top of the page is confusing: it says that the article needs list of abilities. Also, Pokémon Power article, when it talk about Abilities, link to the Ability article, which states that Abilities are a renaming of Pokémon Powers. Should we delete that template and modify that statement maybe?
This template {{TCG|Ability}} redirect to {{TCG|Pokémon Power}} too.
Anyway, I have just noticed that the user {{User|Yuvira}}(previously RetroKitty) asked you about a possible List of Ability more than one year ago. Also just read a secion named "Lists (Again)" on your Talk page.
Given that Yuvira seems no longer active and given that we still need a list of Abilities on Bulbapedia, is there any chance of using what I've already written, for a new section which can be integrated in the Ability article? [[User:Laspandrea|Laspandrea]] ([[User talk:Laspandrea|talk]]) 11:30, 7 December 2018 (UTC)
:Absolutely! Sorry, I meant to get back to you about that. If you want to edit the content of [[Ability (TCG)]] to be a page about Abilities in the card game and use what you've already written, that would be the best course of action. Thematically, card affects that affect Pokémon Powers and card effects that affect Abilities are not interchangable, so we need to keep the two concepts separate from one another. Other editors who don't understand the difference probably added those "Ability content needed" tags to the Power page.

Hello, Maverick. How are you? I have been blocked from the Archieves for quite a long time. I wanted to talk about something there, but no luck. And I didn’t mean to have a problem there and I want to help there again. So, if there’s anyway I can get unblocked?

== Japanese cards only in latest expansions? ==
Hi,in the latest expansions,almost all the cards from the galleries are in their Japanese versions,is this intended? If not,I have many cards from these expansions,I could scan them and upload them. {{unsigned|Leonardo828}}
:If you could get the English prints, that will be nice. Only English versions, cards in other languages are not allowed.

== Pokemon Advanced Action Flipz 2003 ==
Hey Maverick,
Currently, there is no distinguishing between 2003/2006 Advanced Action Flipz,
2003 Flipz have different copyright and released in different booster packs,
I am requiring a setlist/ new page created for this set? Is this possible?
Also updated 2006 advanced action flip imagery would be great,
Happy to pay, reach out at [email protected]
thanks

== Reverting ==
Why'd you revert nearly all my recent edits?[[User:Huntress|Huntress]] ([[User talk:Huntress|talk]]) 22:59, 9 December 2019 (UTC)
:Long story short, the tag that you were adding wasn't value added. We do a lot of independent reporting and research for Project TCG here. A lot of the resources that are used are official print materials and/or the scans we have present on every card page, etc. Your edits involved a sweeping change to how things are done to tens of thousands of articles on the website, and with such a vast change, it needs to be approved by the proper channels to organize efforts to make all these changes, instead of just a random tag to a small random assortment of pages.

== Request to change, divide, remove and renew "List of Pokémon Trading Card Game expansions" ==
Throughout the history of this page there has been suggestions to divide the page into List of English Pokémon Trading Card Game expansions and List of Pokémon Japanese Trading Card Game expansions.
The English primary focus has meant that Japanese info is sometimes wrong eg set icons or missing eg set abbreviations many Japanese sets are also missing. This has also led to COMPLETELY ignoring sets released in other languages meaning it is extremely difficult to find what languages had which sets. The way the page is set also means that mini-sets and promos are also ignored.
I am requesting approval to remove the "List of Pokémon Trading Card Game expansions" page and replace it with the following pages;
-List of English Pokémon Trading Card Game Sets - where most of the info will be transferred but also include promo-sets and mini-sets without increasing the sets number.
-List of Japanese Pokémon Trading Card Game Sets - where most of the info will be transferred but also include promo-sets and mini-sets without increasing the sets number.
-List of German Pokémon Trading Card Game Sets
-List of French Pokémon Trading Card Game Sets
-List of Dutch Pokémon Trading Card Game Sets
-List of Spanish Pokémon Trading Card Game Sets
-List of Korean Pokémon Trading Card Game Sets
-List of Chinese Pokémon Trading Card Game Sets

== Sample Set Info ==
Hi there, I've signed up for BP just to ask you a question about Sample Set. It seems you've made some substantial contributions to articles about some cards from this set – my interest in Sample Set comes from the fact it used e-Card ID numbers in the format M-##; this is the same ID number format assigned to the 9 cards in EX Team Magma VS Team Aqua that supported the e-Card technology. In trying to figure out why these nine cards, which use ID numbers M-01, M-03, M-04, M-15, M-16, M-23, M-24, and M-70, have so many gaps in sequence, without any apparent cards from EX Team Magma VS Team Aqua, that would fill in the gaps, I stumbled on the fact Sample Set used M-## as well.
My first thought was a-ha, case closed. However, M-04 Sample is Koffing, and M-04 TMvTA is Psyduck. I've drafted a write-up about my interest in these cards [[https://medium.com/@INTERNETFRIEND_83649/an-unknown-and-unsolved-mystery-of-the-pokémon-e-tcg-ex-team-magma-vs-team-aqua-and-sample-set-e12608909f7f]]; I'm wondering if you have any more information about these cards or could point me in the direction of resources or individuals that might; if there's any info or interest, I'd love for you to reach out to me on Twitter at @NICOTINEFRIEND or by email at [email protected]
Thanks. {{unsigned|INTERNETFRIEND}}
== Question for Maverick Nate ==
Good evening!
I sent you a note on the E4 forum about potentially adding a page to BP for the 1997 Tomy Pokemon Scratch Card set.
For starters, here is a great intro guide to these cards here within E4 by majomaal:
efour.proboards.com/thread/12666/tomy-1997-pockemon-scratch-card
I also sent you scans of all of my cards in a Google drive, but I don't want to post that publicly here.
Can you please check your e4 mail for that link? Or else, please email me at [email protected]
Thanks!

== Hello and best wishes ==
Hey Nate, not sure if you'll see this (or if you remember me!) - hope you've been well! I noticed on the front page just now that you're no longer in charge of Bulbapedia's TCG and thought I'd drop you a message. Firstly, congratulations on steering the ship for so long - we both started on the project at roughly the same time, which must be ''at least ten flipping years ago'' at this point - some things change, but apparently our shared soft spot for the TCG hasn't, despite how much the game itself has. I think it's absolutely incredible and impressive beyond words that you've been involved in the project for so long and goes to show how valued you must be. On the (not so rare) occasion that I find myself reminiscing about classic TCG, I always find myself here - you and your team have built up an incredible resource over the years. Whatever you're up to these days, I hope you're keeping well. All the best, and take care!

== Poképhilia ==
I would like to make a page for Poképhilia. This is what I would write:
'''Poképhilia''' is a paraphilia where [[Humans]] possess a sexual and, or, romantic attraction towards [[Pokémon (species)|Pokémon]].
=== Overview ===
==== Ancient Times ====
The full history of Poképhilia in the franchise has largely been left ambiguous and open to interpretation for the most part, however, throughout the franchise, there have been notable clues and references about Humans in the distant past who had participated in romantic and possibly even sexual relationships with Pokémon.
This is arguably best shown in the ''[[Sinnoh_myths#Sinnoh_Folk_Tales|Sinnoh Folk Story 3]]'', in which there can be found an excerpt of a supposed myth or legend implying that Humans and Pokémon were once free to be married.
: ''"There once were Pokémon that''
: ''became very close to humans.''
: ''There once were humans and Pokémon''
: ''that ate together at the same table.''
: ''It was a time when there existed no''
: ''differences to distinguish the two."''
==== Modern Age ====
It's uncertain if Poképhilia still occurs in the modern world or if it is now largely seen as a taboo.
=== Trivia ===
*Some fans have theorized that one of the reasons why certain Humans in the franchise are capable of using strange powers such as [[aura]] or [[telepathy]] is because they may have been descended from a previous union between Humans and Pokémon though this remains unconfirmed.

I made a page move: Pokémon Trading Card Game 2: The Invasion of Team GR! to [[Pokémon Trading Card Game 2: The Invasion of Team GR! (game)]]

Can you also clarify whether [[Pokémon Trading Card Game 2: The Invasion of Team GR!]], now reverted by <small>Junior Admin</small> 4iamking, is a game like [[Pokémon Trading Card Game (video game)]] and qualifies to have the (game) appendix despite there being no disambiguous CG2 Card Game, as both are in <nowiki>[[Category:Pokémon Trading Card Game video games]]</nowiki> [[User:Finger|Finger]] ([[User talk:Finger|talk]]) 02:33, 16 August 2023 (UTC)
The reason I moved it in the first place was because it was helpful to be able to use the ga template, which I read are preferred over direct links, due to CPU overheads? or something like that.  [[User:Finger|Finger]] ([[User talk:Finger|talk]]) 02:41, 16 August 2023 (UTC)
:The <code><nowiki>{{ga}}</nowiki></code> template is preferred over <code><nowiki>[[____(game)|____]]</nowiki></code>a direct link when the disambiguation is used. But theres no need to force usage of that template when the page names dont work with it. When we add the (game) to a page name, the only reason for doing so would be if the name of the game conflicts with some other property and we need to disambiguate between the two, this isn't the case here so thats why I reverted your move.  '''[[User:4iamking|<span style="font-family:noteworthy;color:#FF1493">4iam</span><span style="font-family:papyrus;color:#8A2BE2">king</span>]]''' 09:42, 16 August 2023 (UTC)
Then what was the point of creating the ga template in the first place if it isn't to be utilised for the purposed it was designed?  [[User:Finger|Finger]] ([[User talk:Finger|talk]]) 13:11, 17 August 2023 (UTC)
:It is used for what it's designed to do, the purpose of link templates in general is to ease up on the code when linking to pages that have a disambiguation as exampled above, that we dont want to include in the articles text. That's games like {{OBP|Pokémon Ranger|video game}} or {{OBP|Pokémon Trading Card Game|video game}}. The template is designed for such situations, not to link to every game where a disambiguation isn't required, since you can just do that with a standard link, and making a template for that would be adding complexity, not removing it.  '''[[User:4iamking|<span style="font-family:noteworthy;color:#FF1493">4iam</span><span style="font-family:papyrus;color:#8A2BE2">king</span>]]''' 13:32, 17 August 2023 (UTC)

Hi, I am trying to update this article but I do not know where to find the list of border and background colours, e.g. snoozing color dark, and what criteria is used when deciding what to choose for each entry.  [[User:Finger|Finger]] ([[User talk:Finger|talk]]) 01:13, 18 September 2023 (UTC)
:I'm not generally the one who updates the page as new ones come out, but I believe the color templates are simply added based on whatever the contributor thinks fits the theme the best. The list of all possible choices should be viewable here: [[:Category:Color templates]] ''[[User:Maverick Nate|<sup style="color:#00008B;">'''Maverick'''</sup>]][[User talk:Maverick Nate|<sub style="color:#00008B;">'''Nate'''</sub>]]'' 04:31, 18 September 2023 (UTC)
== Hello ==
Hello I saw you did something to Force Fire's profile. Can you create one of his articles which was a sandbox for a very long time? This one [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=User:Force_Fire/Team_Rocket%27s_arsenal&action=edit&redlink=1] I added lots of arsenal to it. It is a list the excludes mechas. Thanks.

:Hi! I did you one better and moved it to the mainspace [[Team Rocket's arsenal|here]]. Thanks for putting effort into it over the years.

== Mainspaced page history ==
Hello, I saw that you were able to merge history for two different userspace pages when mainspacing them into [[Terapagos (anime)]]. Would you also be able to do the same for [[Kitakami Ogre Clan]]? [[User:Minibug/Kitakami Ogre Clan]] had been around for a while, with a very decent amount of content, when someone else directly made a mainspace page (with far less content, I might add). The content from the userspace page was eventually copy pasted into the mainspace article, but it'd be great if the article history could be restored too, to give the original authors' hard work credit. Thanks, → [[User:PikaTepig999|<span style="color:#000;">Pika</span>]][[User talk:PikaTepig999|<span style="color:#000;">Tepig</span>]][[Special:Contribs/PikaTepig999|<span style="color:#000;">999</span>]] 06:25, 27 September 2023 (UTC)
:I looked into it and checked with minibug. While it is possible to do after the fact, merging page histories is best done in the moment when there are no overlapping times. Trying to do that now, in an attempt to preserve two edits, will just make the history bounce back and forth between the at-the-moment two separate pages. I don't think this is the right move, but I appreciate you looking out!

== How to format articles for books only featured as one half of a flip book ==
Hello. You are listed as a contact for Project Merchandise, so I figured you could answer my question. I contacted nuva-kal, the other Project Merchandise contact, a couple days ago about this, but he hasn't responded yet. So I figured it may be good to ask you as well.
I recently found a collection of 4 Pokémon flip books published by Scholastic in 2021, and they appear to be totally undocumented on Bulbapedia. The collection as a whole is called the "Pokémon Super Special Chapter Book Collection", and each of the flip books is labelled as "Super Special Flip Book #x". With the exception of the two stories in Super Special Flip Book #4, [[I Choose You! (book)|I Choose You!]] and [[Ash Ketchum, Pokémon Detective]], all of the stories in the collection appear to have been adapted specifically for this collection, and do not exist outside of it. For instance, Super Special Flip Book #1 contains "Gigantamax Clash" and "Battle for the Z-Ring", and neither of these exist as standalone books, at least as far as I could find.
So my question is this. Should separate articles be created for each individual story? For instance, Gigantamax Clash would get its own page, Battle for the Z-Ring would get its own page, etc.? Or should both of those be folded into a single article on Super Special Flip Book #1? If each story gets its own page, should separate pages also be made for the flip books themselves? For instance, should there be articles on Gigantamax Clash, Battle for the Z-Ring, and Super Special Flip Book #1? And should the collection as a whole have its own page?
Thank you.

I have found a standalone version of another of the flip books featured in this collection: Helena Mayer's "The Power of Three," featured in Super Special Flip Book #3. It may yet be possible that all of these books exist in standalone form, just not documented on Bulbapedia. If that does turn out to be the case, then that at least resolves the question posed by the section title. However, I am still curious about how articles about the flip books or collections of flip books should be handled.

:I think it really depends on how much we can say about each one. For now, I would say write out a draft in your userspace somewhere of what an ideal page would look like. I'm inclined to say each story deserves its own page, with a page on the series of items as a whole, but I'm not really familiar with the topic so it's hard to for me to envision what those articles look like.

:If you would like to provide a unique experience to the wiki when you are logged in, you can code your own style by writing a personal monobook.css page.
