The goal of Encyclopaediae Pokémonis is to be just as international as Pokémon itself, and helping aspiring Pokémon wikis in languages we don't yet have is a great way to help achieve that goal. However, if we don't even know who the possible aspirers for Encyclopaediae Pokémonis's ninth language even are, there's no way any growth can take place. If you speak or understand a language that's currently not represented in Encyclopaediae Pokémonis and happen to find a wiki in that language with aspirations to join Encyclopaediae Pokémonis, then don't hesitate to drop me a line. Remember, an aspirier can't grow if they remain sheltered from the world!

If you understand Brazilian Portuguese, or know someone who does, then the Portuguese arm of Encyclopaediae Pokémonis is in desperate need of your assistance. Many, if not all, of that wiki's articles are in dire need of improvement, be it massive cleanup or even adding some real content to begin with. Their sysops are never around to handle things, and their interwiki bot has done nothing since late September--of 2008. The fact that a trusted member of Encyclopaediae Pokémonis has fallen into such disrepair is disturbing, to say the least. Brazilians do not deserve quality this low. If you can help improve the Portuguese end, then I highly recommend you do so. Today.

Conway's Slowking

If I may ask, what's "not notable" about it? Chocolate (Chat with Me) 15:34, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

Ask PAK Man. The article was created as PAK Man was reverting an edit the article's creator made to an episode article, where PAK Man's summary was how the Pokémon was not notable enough for its own article. Angie's Shinx is about to meet with the same fate, and I'd recommend the same advice in that case as well. --Shiningpikablu252 15:36, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

What do you mean the G in Glitch Pokémon shouldn't be capitalized?!

We capitalize the S in Shadow Pokémon, don't we? And Shadow's not usually a proper noun, is it? However, it is always capitalized in the phrase "Shadow Pokémon. Naturally, the same should occur with Glitch Pokémon. So it's a fanmade term. Big deal! It's still describing a specific type of Pokémon. Does its fan origin make it any less notable? No, because Nintendo's never made known what they call them (and given their attitude on the subject, they probably call them bugs, mistakes, errors, or scrambles anyway). Now, I suggested on Chocolate's talk page that we hold a vote on the subject, about whether or not the G should be capitalized. And on whether or not to move ALL Glitch Pokémon articles to [name] (Glitch Pokémon) to be consistant with PkMn. Now, personally, I am outraged on how my attempt failed the other night. Not only was I blocked and every single move reverted, but each page was protected against future moves (by you, if memory serves). And Chocolate was blocked as well, but unblocked because he was in the right?! NO! I was in the right, he was well in the wrong! I gave him a perfectly good reason for continuing to move the pages, and he still reverted them! And then I got blocked! Am I the only one here who agrees that I had a valid point?! *calms down* OK. Now then, my point is, how would I go about starting one of these polls, I mean in an official capacity? Missingno. Master.....IT IS TIME! 11:20, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

There's a difference between Shadow Pokémon and glitch Pokémon. The term "Shadow Pokémon" has been put into official use as a proper noun. The term "glitch Pokémon" has never been used as a proper noun, and very likely never will be, as Nintendo has never officially acknowledged the existence of any glitch Pokémon save Missingno., and even then only because the method to find one was easy to pull off resulting in Nintendo getting questions.

Trust me, if this issue is put to a vote, the consensus will be to leave "glitch" lowercased when used within the standard body of a sentence (trust me, the glitch Pokémon article's going nowhere since many words that would start lowercase in standard usage are capitalized in encyclopedias). --Shiningpikablu252 15:43, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

No offense, but I HIGHLY doubt you speak for the entire population of Bulbagarden (or even a majority). I still say we put this to a vote. Missingno. Master.....IT IS TIME! 17:23, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

While you're here...

Can you please remove that extremely inconvenient period between the words "Userspace" and "edits" in {{Userspace warning}}?--freezingCOLD _{(page, talk)} 22:40, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

Thanks.--freezingCOLD _{(page, talk)} 22:43, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

So, seriously....

When will we start this Glitch Pokémon vote? I'm Missingno. Master. See my new and improved user page, and comment on it! 16:20, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

If a vote's going to be extremely one-sided (in this case, heavily in favor of NOT treating "glitch Pokémon" as a proper phrase where "glitch" has the first letter capitalized), there's no real reason to start it. --Shiningpikablu252 16:23, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

Again, I highly doubt you speak for a majority of Bulbapedia on this subject. And even if you do, I'd like to know for sure. I'm Missingno. Master. See my new and improved user page, and comment on it! 16:28, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

You highly doubt it, but he actually does. ^Maverick _Nate 16:32, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

I say enough talk. I'm gonna start a poll in the forums right now, due to close in a month. The winning option becomes the rule. Anyone opposed to it is more than welcome to state their case there. I'm Missingno. Master. See my new and improved user page, and comment on it! 16:38, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

Administrator Status

In order to keep our Administrator list currently up-to-date, this is a generic "are you there" message.

You've been assumed as currently active and are already marked as such, but if you disagree with this, either edit the List of administrators to reflect your status (Active, Hiatus, Inactive), or reply here when you get the chance. -- Jïörüjï Ðērākō.>.cнаt^ 16:12, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

Simply looking at my contributions should prove enough evidence of me still being active. Sure, I'm not quite as active as I once was, but everyone has their low points...--Shiningpikablu252 19:11, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

Yeh, and thus you're already marked as active. I'm just making sure that everyone who I already marked gets the chance to see it, in case they have other ideas. -- Jïörüjï Ðērākō.>.cнаt^ 20:08, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

Psst.

Don't forget to change the episodeprevnext to epicodeprevnext and alter it accordingly... TTEchidna 03:34, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

Ash Ketchum's Heracross (Pokémon)

I must have overlooked the (Pokémon) part. Thanks for fixing that. I wonder where it came from? rockersk08 17:59, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

Somebody put that link on Megahorn so that the coding read "[[Ash Ketchum]]'s {{p|Ash Ketchum's Heracross}}". I fixed the page so that everything both read and linked correctly. --Shiningpikablu252 18:01, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

Thanks!

Thanks for the help with the Charmander eggs on my User page. That was bugging me and I couldn't for the life of me figure it out. Plus, I think the box you created could help me with another problem... but that's another story! Thanks again!--GReimer 18:35, 11 February 2009 (UTC)

You're welcome. You can come back to me if another issue arises with your userpage. --Shiningpikablu252 03:25, 12 February 2009 (UTC)

Moose

Was Moose's name the same? I watched the movie, but he appeared once and I didn't catch it. --^Psychic _Rider^☮ 02:25, 14 February 2009 (UTC)

He, as far as we know, went unnamed in the dub. No name showed up in the CC. Barring a script leak or mailbag revelations (like what happened with The Rise of Darkrai, looks like we'll forever know him as "Moose". --Shiningpikablu252 02:27, 14 February 2009 (UTC)

Ok, thanks anyway. --^Psychic _Rider^☮ 04:27, 14 February 2009 (UTC)

I suggest flooding Pokemon.com's Mailbag. Just don't mention his Japanese name, they don't like it. Just say "Layla's Husband". --Maxim 07:59, 14 February 2009 (UTC)

Since You Protected a TALK PAGE. .

I'll say it here: For the Notched Ear Pichu page, is this piece of trivia honestly necessary? - "Normally, Pichu does not have gender differences, while its evolutions Pikachu and Raichu do." How do we even know that the ear indicates she's a female? She may just a have a screwed up ear. シンジ_ShinjiLover,Edits 15:35, 14 February 2009 (UTC)

What are you talking about? --Shiningpikablu252 16:50, 14 February 2009 (UTC)

Notched Ear Pichu page. That piece of trivia. . It's not THAT hard to figure out. I was suggesting we remove that piece of trivia because it's unnecessary and gives people the idea that the Notched Ear Pichu is bringing gender differences to Pichu and creating a Generation V. シンジ_ShinjiLover,Edits 02:29, 15 February 2009 (UTC)

I didn't protect the Notched-ear Pikachu page in its current state. Take up protection issues with TTEchidna; he protected the page in its current state.

Personally, I feel the page shouldn't have been created until the 12th movie was released, primarily because it's a featured movie Pokémon from the 12th movie and no other featured movie Pokémon from previous movies got their pages before the movie was released. --Shiningpikablu252 03:06, 15 February 2009 (UTC)

When I tried to go to the talk page, it said that you protected it. "This title has been protected from creation by Shiningpikablu252. The reason given is Yes, I'm protecting a TALK PAGE until the movie....". シンジ_ShinjiLover,Edits 18:52, 15 February 2009 (UTC)

I made that protection on the at-the-time assumption that the main article would not be recreated or restored until the movie was released. It wasn't my idea to restore the article; if I were asked if it was a good idea to restore that article, I would have given a flat-out no. --Shiningpikablu252 18:56, 15 February 2009 (UTC)

It was made, so I figured, "eh, leave it." Same with Jun. Someone would've found a way to make it (notice how Jun was originally made at Jun (Anime), with a capital A) so I decided just to let it go, put the best of my knowledge in there, and protect it until the movie. TTEchidna 04:27, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

Bowyer

Really? Where? Whatd he say? -- MAG NE DETH 03:19, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

Clint Bowyer (from Emporia, Kansas) said it after the Camping World 300 Nationwide Series race in response to a remark by Carl Edwards (from Columbia, Missouri) concerning the Daytona pavement. The quote, as presented in The Kansas City Star on February 15:

Edwards: I was kind of sad to hear they were going to repave it. I wish they would just kind of patch it up or do whatever they've got to do.

Bowyer: Has anybody ever driven through Missouri? If you've ever seen the highways in Missouri, that's why he likes it that way.

Afterward, Edwards changed the subject:

Edwards: Hey, did you catch that MU-KU game the other night, guys?

Fittingly, construction zones are in place in various parts of Missouri seemingly year-round.

Just so you know, the color scheme of the tag I made was taken from the primary color scheme of Carl Edwards's Sprint Cup car. Honestly, it would be a little more difficult to grab a color scheme of his Nationwide car...--Shiningpikablu252 04:21, 18 February 2009

as a Carl Edwards fan myself (and that reminds me, i need to change my tag colors on my profile to suit his new car), do i laugh, or get angry at Bowyer? i was also unaware they were going to repave Daytona, if so, i think maybe just smoothing the bumps would work better. -- MAG NE DETH 05:52, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

I don't think Carl got angry, so you probably shouldn't. --Shiningpikablu252 16:36, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

given that youre from MO, are you automatically a Carl fan? -- MAG NE DETH 03:52, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

Not necessarily. I live in the Kansas City area, hence I could just as easily be a Clint Bowyer fan--it's about as easy distancewise to make it from Kansas City to Emporia as it would from Kansas City to Columbia. I don't actually have a favorite driver right now, actually...

Additionally, many NASCAR fans in southwest Missouri probably aren't following Cousin Carl. They'd probably be more liable to follow Jamie McMurray of Joplin. (Keep in mind that there's probably at least one Carl Edwards fan in Joplin, similar to how there's probably at least one Carl Edwards fan in, say, Kyle Busch's turf of Las Vegas.) --Shiningpikablu252 04:03, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

true. i just figured if you were bringing it up in its own template. im from PA, so, the only person of note (that i know of) would be Jimmy Spencer.....yea....i actually met him (back when he was driving, not a TV person) and he was a jerk. on a side note, my father met Dale Sr. and says he was a jerk too. -- MAG NE DETH 04:14, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

Regarding your revision...

I don't see the 50... ^ht 14 21:16, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

The 50 is the card's level. The "Lv. 50" text is on the top row, next to the misspelled descriptor that should read "Attack Form".

Given how you edited it to make it appear that it was level 80, I think you may have mistaken the card's HP for its level. The card in question does have an 80 on it, but the 80 is its HP, not its level...--Shiningpikablu252 21:20, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

Sorry about that... ^ht 14 21:28, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

Well, how about this card's level? ^ht 14 22:02, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

Mankey Edits

Though I am aware that Ash's did not catch his Primeape until AFTER it evolved, it WAS still originally seen as a Mankey in the beginning of the episode. Due to this, TTEchidna gave me full permission to create the page. --Theryguy 512 16:06, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

Still doesn't change the fact that listing the Mankey as "a Pokémon that belonged to Ash before evolving" is false information. That would imply that, in EP029, Ash caught the Pokémon as a Mankey and then it evolved into Primeape where, in reality, the Mankey evolved first and then Ash later caught it. I can restore Sol's version of the disambig if TTEchidna insists on it, though, since that wording was far more accurate even if it didn't make much sense to put onto a disambig...--Shiningpikablu252 16:09, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

Okay, well how about this. Why don't we say "a Pokémon that, after evolving, belonged to Ash"??? --Theryguy 512 16:11, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

Basically what Sol's version of the disambig was implying. I'll try to get this matter of "permission to insert false information" sorted out with TTEchidna before making any reversions, though...--Shiningpikablu252 16:14, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

Okey Dokey. --Theryguy 512 16:17, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

You've GOT to be kidding me.

Please delete Boppadeebop, Wertsaggle, Fastop and Ghogho. And please also talk some sense into Nathan96 Thank you. --Theryguy 512 16:38, 21 February 2009 (UTC)

While your at it, you can also delete Prukt. Thanks. --Theryguy 512 16:46, 21 February 2009 (UTC)

Now he can offically be classified as a vandal. He deleted User:Pachirisulover12. Please ban him. --Theryguy 512 16:51, 21 February 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for blocking him. --Theryguy 512 16:52, 21 February 2009 (UTC)

Sorry

I am very sorry, but I read the page on Ash's Fearow and I saw that in this Section, it had a picture of Fearow "As a Spearow" and I thought that that meant that he caught it and then evolved it. I do believe that every pokémon should have a disambig page and was just trying to make that a reality, and since that page was reverted, how will people be able to go to the TCG of Spearow? And same thing for Rattata, if there is no disambig page then how will they reach the TCG?--Pokemonguy1 18:55, 21 February 2009 (UTC)
