== Disassembly source == | |||
I recently decided to investigate some of the Gen II and III game mechanics (and contribute/discuss if it is relevant). I was immediately pulled into the disassembly / source code projects [https://github.com/pret/ here]. I have noticed that these projects are referenced/discussed a lot on BP, so I should assume that it is reliable, am I correct? I guess I am not entirely familiar with the background and origin of the project. | |||
Also, if I do contribute (either supervised or not), should I explicitly include a reference to the code (either in text or using "ref"? I have seen it a few times (searching for "disassembly" on BP), but it is clearly not the norm. I have seen other articles where "only the official media counts". How 'official' are the disassemblies then? Thank you. [[User:Rarecandybar|Rarecandybar]] ([[User talk:Rarecandybar|talk]]) 10:14, 15 May 2020 (UTC) | |||
:You should assume the disassembly projects are accurate, yes. They are the result of a lot of hard work of fans to work out the assembly code by using the game binaries. | |||
:We wouldn't normally add citations to the disassembly, but it is often a good idea to link to the relevant section in your edit summaries and on talk pages if you're using information from it. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 11:56, 15 May 2020 (UTC) |
