LOL Wut!?

I'm not trying to be mean and I'm sorry if I hurt someone feelings and I'm not yelling at him, but "Black" is the correct term NOT "African American", do you want to know why? Because not all African's are Americans. What would you call the Black people that live in France or Canada. My friends consider themselves Black over African American. Even high rank news stations such as CNN use the term, naming one of their special's "Black in America". The "N" word is the offensive word that was used in the 1930's. Not trying to yell at anyone I'm just simply explaining this to you. Crystal Power 19:37, 29 October 2010 (UTC)

Okay sorry I started yelling at you. And I do think that Iris might be black but we can't prove it right now. I was just upset about how you said it, but if you explain it like this it seems nicer. Sorry again and lets stop fighting? Pokemaster97 19:42, 29 October 2010 (UTC)

It's alright, I know it can't be proved directly that she is Black. I was just adding Trivia that points towards these things letting people learn these facts. Another thing is do you know that the Iris Flower is Native to Africa, Europe, and North America, While the Aloe plant is native to Africa. These things are trivia that Gamefreak had in mind that may point towards the characters race. I want Pokemon to have more Black characters too, There's been Americans, Asians, Latino's, Hawaiians. Not one Black person until the release of Pokemon Black and White. Also I don't wish to fight but make friends only. I'm very disappointed that people started such an uproar over me adding that. But you're cool, I'd like to stop arguing and be friends. Crystal Power 19:55, 29 October 2010 (UTC)

Okay friends! I didn't that about the Aloe flowers, anyway more black people in pokemon is good. I'm I'm happy there doing that! Pokemaster97 21:44, 29 October 2010 (UTC)

Thank You

Cool, And thanks for being kind to me on here.

Reminder

Rather than dragging the issue out, just get an admin in to help. I know it's over now, but that's for next time. Even if you're trying to stop someone from insulting others, insulting them isn't the way to go about it. *insert Code of Conduct warning here* :D —darklordtrom 07:45, 30 October 2010 (UTC)

Okay I'm sorry just got a little excited I'll do better next time. Pokemaster97 12:49, 30 October 2010 (UTC)

It is redundant

You see, the Battle Frontier (Generation IV) article doesn't have a "Related pages" (unlike the Battle Frontier (Generation III) article) as there is a nifty box at the bottom of the page that already has links to the other Battle Frontier.Tempest370 00:42, 17 November 2010 (UTC)

Oh I'm sorry then I just try to make sure there was support. I'll go revert my edit. No hard feelings? Pokemaster97 00:44, 17 November 2010 (UTC)

Of course not. :) Tempest370 00:50, 17 November 2010 (UTC)

About Serebii

Is Serebii is more of a fan site? Patty Man 03:07, 3 December 2010 (UTC)

Yes. Serebii is a fan site, not an official site. Serebii should not be used as a source. He doesn't like people stealing his information anyway. Werdnae (talk) 03:57, 3 December 2010 (UTC)

Realgar

About the name origin of Realgam Tower, if you notice, the names of places in Orre are named after rocks: Agate Village (Agate), Gateon Port (The Japanese name references iolite), Phenac City (phenakite), Pyrite Town (pyrite). Orre may also be derived from the word "ore". I think realgar would be a possible origin due to the rock theme. 神智の超龍「對話」 04:27, 22 December 2010 (UTC)

Oh, I see when I was looking at the wiki page about Realgar I was like "what does a pile of rocks have to do with a huge building". It does match though sorry! Feel free to revert it if you'd like. --Pokemaster 97 04:31, 22 December 2010 (UTC)

Shiny sprite

Just so you know, having a Shiny sprite does not mean that it can be Shiny (prime example: Spiky-eared Pichu). However, the trivia that you removed from Zekrom and Reshiram was inaccurate; they cannot be Shiny at N's Castle, but can be Shiny at Dragon Spiral Tower. I do not know whether or not Victini can. --SnorlaxMonster 03:33, 27 December 2010 (UTC)

I'm sorry when I saw the shiny sprite I thought it was logical to think that they were shiny because that's how they got it. --Pokemaster 97 05:56, 27 December 2010 (UTC)

It seems that even when encountered at Dragon Spiral Tower they cannot be Shiny. And that Victini also cannot be Shiny. --SnorlaxMonster 15:29, 27 December 2010 (UTC)

In case you did not see my reply on my own talk page

Gladly

At the top of your edit box there are some boxs, click on the one directly in the middle
fill in the name of the pic you want (from the Archives) and presto
You can direct it to the left or the right with |left or |right

try that out :) Diamond Lanturn CodeName: 05308 02:15, 2 January 2011 (UTC)

I did and once again thanks! --Pokemaster 97 02:18, 2 January 2011 (UTC)

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

YOU TOUCHED IT! You linked to an image before it was moved! It will be screwed up for DAYS! WHYYYYYYYYY?????? I was doing fine with the TCG on my own... ^Maverick _Nate 22:09, 9 January 2011 (UTC)

GAAAA I'm sorry I thought I was doing good. *sob* anyway I can help you fix it? --Pokemaster 97 22:12, 9 January 2011 (UTC)

About Mirage Island

It needs to show the island in the info box. if you want to talk more please go to talk page

It also should show how the place looks like without the Island.

The switch function will ensure that both versions of the place will appear, so what's the problem? I didn't see any complaints about the Shoal Cave, which had a similar function in the infobox. Nor do I hear any complaints about the Arceus article which constantly shifts its type. And until today, no one complained about the Mirage Island Article. Tempest370 18:44, 18 January 2011 (UTC)

The switch button will be good if it changes every time --Pokemaster 97 18:45, 18 January 2011 (UTC)

Well, the current one changes the picture every hour. Tempest370 18:50, 18 January 2011 (UTC)

The only problem is some people come here and if they come at the right hour they won't be able to see what it looks like and they don't know the switch scedule. --Pokemaster 97 18:53, 18 January 2011 (UTC)

In that case we can change the switch so that it shows the Island 90% of time. Or we can do it like the Arceus article, which switches every time you refresh the pageTempest370 19:05, 18 January 2011 (UTC).

The refresh thing may probably work as long as the island picture has top priority. Or maybe the non island picture can be posted somewhere else in the article. --Pokemaster 97 19:10, 18 January 2011 (UTC)

Just going to butt in here. The infobox picture for Mirage island must show Mirage Island. Not an empty square of water tiles. Water tiles tell the visitors to the page nothing, unless they can also see the picture of the island. That's why it's okay for Arceus—the picture may switch, but it is always Arceus. If you want to add the other picture to the article, I'd suggest adding it to the section where it explains Mirage Island's appearance (or more often lack of it). Also, when pages with switchers get stored in the server cache, resulting in them getting stuck on one result for a period of time, even if it is reloaded. Werdnae (talk) 19:33, 18 January 2011 (UTC)

How about this? The HG/SS eyecatches are done this way.Tempest370 19:52, 18 January 2011 (UTC)

The gallery section is fine, but the infobox still must show Mirage Island. That isn't a problem with the HGSS eyecatches, because they all show the location. Werdnae (talk) 20:04, 18 January 2011 (UTC)

because they all show the location.

The same applies here. Most of the time the place looks like that. The gallery fixes the problem of people being unable to view the island at certain hours. Tempest370 20:10, 18 January 2011 (UTC)

The empty patch of Route 130 does not show Mirage Island. Yes, sure most of the time Mirage Island isn't there. But the article isn't about the lack of Mirage Island. It is about Mirage Island when it does appear. Therefore the picture in the infobox should reflect that. Werdnae (talk) 20:27, 18 January 2011 (UTC)

The infobox should reflect the way the Island behaves. The gallery shows both situations.Tempest370 20:32, 18 January 2011 (UTC)

[1] --Bye 00:03, 27 January 2011 (UTC)

...uhh I can't think of a subject that wouldn't give away what I'm about to say below but it doesn't matter so...

Seeing as you've been fairly active and I haven't heard from Zewis in a week, do you suppose you could give me your email, too? By the way, mine is [email protected] (like the Pokémon). Bee § Bwakka 03:14, 28 January 2011 (UTC)

Okay my email is [email protected] --Pokemaster 97 00:15, 29 January 2011 (UTC)

Whoa!!! Thanks!!!

Hey, thanks for putting those tags on the Ranger pages! I was trying to do some, but I was busy. That was a great help! Pokabu 82 00:38, 31 January 2011 (UTC)

Happy to help! --Pokemaster 97 01:22, 31 January 2011 (UTC)

hey

I'm trying to figure out how we can follow policy but stay here. Do you have any ideas? I might have one. Pokabu 82 23:32, 31 January 2011 (UTC)

Cheers

Thanks for going through those other episodes that I never checked, adding the {{animeevents}} template to them, saved me some time :) Diamond Lanturn CodeName: 05308 23:40, 4 February 2011 (UTC)

No problem! Happy to help. --Pokemaster 97 23:59, 4 February 2011 (UTC)

Linking to users

Hey man, in accordance to this, I just thought I'd point out that when you link to users using the u template (or any template for that matter) that you use {{ }} these brackets and not [[ ]] these ones. :) It'll help prevent wanted pages from showing up. Thanks! ^★Jo the Marten ^★ ಠ_ಠ 22:22, 10 February 2011 (UTC)

Crap I was in such a rush I forgot to press the shift key. Sorry! --Pokemaster 97 22:23, 10 February 2011 (UTC)

It's not a big deal. I just thought I'd let you know for future reference. :) ^★Jo the Marten ^★ ಠ_ಠ 22:24, 10 February 2011 (UTC)

This is painful to say...

...but I would like to leave Team Budew. This is just what I feel I should do. Please just respect my feelings. I still think you guys rock, though. Please, just do this for me. Pokabu 82 02:31, 13 February 2011 (UTC)

Okay Thank you for your time on team Budew and you will be missed. You should tell the president about your decision as well. --Pokemaster 97 14:38, 13 February 2011 (UTC)

Pokabu82's back on, and we're moving to the forums

Get set up of the forums. Team Budew is already up on the forums as a group. After 10 posts I think you can join. Pokabu82 is back on the team too, he just didn't wanna break any rules that the staff made so he quit, but now he's rejoined. I don't wanna have to do this without Zewis's permission but he tends to spend time on Bulbapedia on and off so it could take a while before he responds. --Bee § Bwakka 22:20, 13 February 2011 (UTC)

I don't understand these 10 posts to join thing. And is the group already made? --Pokemaster 97 22:26, 13 February 2011 (UTC)

You join the forums. You must then post on 10 different threads to join Social groups (don't ask why, I honestly don't know). And yes, the group is already made, it is called "Team Budew". --Bee § Bwakka 22:51, 13 February 2011 (UTC)

Just a little something

That user hadn't edited since you added the first message, plus by the time you added the second one, I doubt they had even read it. Next time there, another warning should be given if they continue or reply. Also the tone of your messages were kind of rude, so could you make it a little nicer next time? New users who do that aren't automatically vandals, they make mistakes, we don't need to jump on them Just a heads up. --P S Y_ライダー☮ 00:04, 15 February 2011 (UTC)

I'm sorry if it came off as rude. It just doesn't seem fair that people are working hard editing and getting ready for generation V and people come and just pourposly mess up articles for fun. I'll make sure to get another warning and make it nice next time. --Pokemaster 97 00:07, 15 February 2011 (UTC)

You don't know that he came here just for kicks and giggles to mess up articles. He's a new user. They make mistakes, they don't know our rules and such. --P S Y_ライダー☮ 00:16, 15 February 2011 (UTC)
