Sorry to bother you, but I'm having trouble with {{u|Force Fire}}, who refuses to listen to what I'm trying to say and instead is making counterarguments for something completely different. I've tried to remove a couple of blatantly out-of-date trivia points on [[Flying (type)]] that haven't been true for three to six years, but Force Fire's counterarguments are all about whether the outdatedness is visible in the tables or not.

== Articles like [[In-battle effect item]] ==
Now that all the information from those articles has been transcribed to each item's own page, should we reduce those articles to categories? If we want to keep them as articles, then I think we should at least change "Template:Item" to link to the item's main article. [[User:Sumwun|sumwun]] ([[User talk:Sumwun|talk]]) 04:01, 19 August 2017 (UTC)
:They already do link to the item main articles, although perhaps it would be better to have the link in the item's name rather than the lower right. As for what to do with them, some of them are worth keeping IMO ([[herbal medicine]]), but others (like [[In-battle effect item]]) are worth reviewing; however, I'd rather we deal with them once we have split all of the items. We still have a lot of items to split. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 06:03, 19 August 2017 (UTC)
== Guidance ==
Hey, so I found you via recent changes as a big time user, so you're probably my best bet to answer a question. I'm a long-time Pokemon fan, Bulbapedia reader, and Wiki contributor; but, with regards to that latter point, I've never edited on this particular wiki. I've noticed some things I can improve here, but I can't. My ideas require an additional MediaWiki extension. What I mostly need to know is the best possible place to post a fully fleshed-out proposal. I think my ideas will improve on every aspect of how things operate. My phrasing here was kind of vague, so if you require more info about my ideas, I'd be happy to elaborate a little.
As I said, I'm not new to wiki editing in general. I do know the difficulties of being in a new community though. I think my ideas are really good, but they're also really big, and I don't want to impose or act like a big shot. [[User:Somedumguy|Somedumguy]] ([[User talk:Somedumguy|talk]]) 14:31, 28 August 2017 (UTC)
:New MediaWiki extensions are very unlikely to be added. However, if you do want to make a suggestion, I would recommend [https://forums.bulbagarden.net/index.php?forums/bulbawiki-forum.195/ the Bulbawiki forum]. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 01:46, 29 August 2017 (UTC)
:::I started there before coming to you, but I wasn't able to post anywhere after making an account. Is there some automatic vetting time? Also, would I post on the suggestions thread, or can I start a new topic for an idea that's a bit larger than one suggestion?

== Staff member ==
I tried to make a change to the [[Normal (type)]] article. However, I was reverted and told to ask a staff member's approval [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Normal_(type)&diff=2683610&oldid=2683609]. If you examine the changes, you will know what I was trying to do. As a staff member, do approve of my change to the page?

== 3DS image uploads and Miiverse ==
I am interested in uploading images from Rumble World and Super Mystery Dungeon, mainly of moves and status conditions, but also anything else that might need an image from those games. However, since I lack 3DS capture capability, I would first have to upload the images to Miiverse, then save them from there and upload them to the archives. Images uploaded to Miiverse are initially .jpg, which I understand isn't ideal, so I was wondering if it was still fine to use them as long as I converted them to png before uploading to the archives. [[User:VioletPumpkin|VioletPumpkin]] ([[User talk:VioletPumpkin|talk]]) 23:25, 31 August 2017 (UTC)
:I've uploaded miiverse images myself (it's the only way I can). But don't procrastinate; the miiverse is shutting down in November. [[User:Unowninator|¿¡Unowninator?!]] ([[User talk:Unowninator|talk]]) 23:27, 31 August 2017 (UTC)
::Thanks for the information. And yeah, the announcement is what pushed me to finally move forward with this.

== Category update problem ==
As you're the first person I tend to think about when I encounter a problem in Bulbapedia (sorry about that, BTW), I decided to ask you if you know anything about this thing. For some reason, about a month ago, Bulbapedia started acting weird for me for a short time (like logging me out whenever I left the site etc.), after which 1) all links that I had used on Bulbapedia turned from "used" to "unused", and, more importantly, 2) categories started refusing to update. Now whenever a page is added to a category, or even when a category is created with a page already listed in that category, the page does not show up in that category. Sorry if this sounds like rambling, but do you know about anything that could've caused this? Oh, and in case this subject is talked about at the Bulbagarden forums, just a heads-up: I don't use that. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 11:34, 11 September 2017 (UTC)
:I don't know about your logging out frequently or used to unused problem (most likely it's your internet browser), but the category problem have already been discussed and they replied multiple times. This problem occurs when Bulbapedia switched to using https instead of http. Categories, what links here and some archives image linking have been showing problems since then. As well as that 404 errors/major blackout just last month. — '''[[User:Ruixiang95|<span style="color:#1E90FF;">Ruixiang</span>]][[User talk:Ruixiang95|<span style="color:#4B0082;">95</span>]]''' 12:00, 11 September 2017 (UTC)

== New Interface ==

== Template:BerryInfobox ==
Can you unprotect it, please? Also, are there (near-)future plans for Berry articles (or their templates) that you know of? [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 15:59, 20 September 2017 (UTC)
:Infoboxes are typically protected, and I think this one should remain as such. I've added Gen 7 descriptions as requested on the talk page though; let me know if anything else needs to be changed about it.
:IMO, Berry pages should be redesigned to have a consistent style to the new individual item pages (my example: [[User:SnorlaxMonster/ItemInfobox/Razz Berry]]). However, I haven't made any effort to push this design, because we're still working on splitting the other items right now. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 08:37, 21 September 2017 (UTC)
::Fair enough. Anyway, I guess you may want to remove the roundy classes from the Generation VI description. (Though you may want to wait for me to add the missing descriptions.) Also, the if for the Generation V description queries Generation IV's; luckily, it doesn't make a difference, but you may want to change it regardless.
::That's a good idea, I'll be waiting.
::While I'm here, what items are about to be split? Do you have a list of (core series) items that should not get an article? And if not, when editing, should I re-link only those items that happen to already have their article (like I currently do), all of them, or those I believe will/should be given their article? Thanks. [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 15:12, 21 September 2017 (UTC)
:::The goal is the ultimately split every item. I believe the Data Cards are not planned to have their own articles though, and items like Gram 1-3 would share a page. Wonder Launcher items are getting their own pages hasn't been discussed. There hasn't been a decision about how to deal with Poké Ball yet (due to the specific item and overall class sharing a name), so that's currently on hold. TMs and HMs are fine how they are for now and won't be getting the new item template.
:::Regarding relinking, I've been linking directly to the item names [[Special:Diff/2190548|for years]] ([[Special:Diff/1298372|originally even replacing section links with plain links]]), although another user would usually change them to section links after my edits. I don't see any point in not relinking pages that will need to be in the near future, so when I edit pages I have been turning all item links into plain links (except <code><nowiki>{{ball|Poké}}</nowiki></code>, <code><nowiki>{{DL|Potion|Potion}}</nowiki></code>, and <code><nowiki>{{DL|Revive|Revive}}</nowiki></code>) even when the items don't have individual pages yet. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 16:22, 21 September 2017 (UTC)
::::Thanks. That seems reasonable, I think I'll adopt that, then. I've very recently thought about a related issue, and with the items split, I think I might try to rid myself of the habit of ''always'' using direct links. (My thought experiment has me use direct links for things like <code><nowiki>[[super-effective]]</nowiki></code> and <code><nowiki>[[Masked Royal]]</nowiki></code>, even though they might never be non-redirects.)
::::Also, I think I'm done with Berries for now, btw. [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 17:16, 21 September 2017 (UTC)
:::::Wikipedia has {{wp|WP:NOTBROKEN|a policy}} about linking to redirects not being a problem, particularly when they indicate possible future articles. However, that policy doesn't apply here, and it shouldn't necessarily be applied. On Bulbapedia, the policy is typically to avoid redirects (although the [[List of items by index number]] pages have been violating that for years, and the Pokédex entry template does too for convenience).
:::::In the particular examples you give, I think they should just be left as they are for now. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 03:42, 22 September 2017 (UTC)
::::::Trying to avoid a misunderstanding: I didn't mean to say I'll go around and enforce some redirect links here and there. I meant to say I'd use them (i.e., not rule them out) when editing; for example, when moving the effectiveness stuff from [[damage]] to [[type]], I'd relink <code><nowiki>{{DL|Damage|super effective}}</nowiki></code> to <code><nowiki>[[super effective]]</nowiki></code> (rather than <code><nowiki>{{DL|Type|super effective}}</nowiki></code> or similar).

{{indent}}I understand there will be individual articles named "Helix Fossil", "Growth Mulch", "Rainbow Wing", "Dragon Gem", "Excite Scent" etc. (or that at least those would be proper link targets), is that correct? Will there be articles on all [[list of unobtainable items|unobtainable items]]? Should {{template|key}} be replaced, and/or will it eventually just be "updated" (to simply <code><nowiki>[[{{{2}}}|{{{3|{{{2}}}}}}]]</nowiki></code>) and called deprecated?

:Yes, those examples would be correct, although there hasn't really been any specific discussion on Colo/XD-exclusive items. Unobtainable items probably won't, although the [[Teru-sama]] is going to keep the page it already has. For key items, the plain page name is often a disambig and not a redirect (e.g. [[S.S. Ticket]]), so it's not really the best idea to link to them. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 12:23, 30 September 2017 (UTC)
::You're suggesting to wait with replacing {{template|key}}, in general, right? Okay.

:::Yeah, I would leave {{template|key}} alone unless the item already has its own page. And yeah, I was mostly thinking about the Gen I and II unobtainable items; I guess most of the Gen 3+ unobtainable items probably will eventually get pages (maybe not the Key Stone items), but they're low priority (although I would give Fairy Gem when doing the rest of the Gems). --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 15:28, 30 September 2017 (UTC)

== Game-exclusive Template ==
Hi. I have completed the Game-exclusive template (Template:Vex) for Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon (ready to press save). However, you want me to create in my own userspace first or don't create at all? Or are we going to update "Template:Vex7" to include USUM or a separate template under "Template:Vexusum"? If on a separate template, should I put in Regional variants first, since it's not confirmed these games will have them?

== A totally random thing that I need someone's help for ==
As I've noticed that Bulbapedia seems to have allowed adding the actual type of type-changing moves (like {{m|Hidden Power}} or {{m|Multi-Attack}}), as opposed to them just being listed as {{type|Normal}} moves, into in-game moveset templates, I've been in the process of adding those missing types wherever I can. Unfortunately, since Hidden Power is a rather common move in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], a game I do not own, I've been restricted into using YouTube videos while figuring them out, and those videos are a rather limited resource. They've only helped me in figuring out the type of a handful of them, but many still remain unsolved. Which brings me to my point: is there any way of figuring these out? Since you're my go-to guy when it comes to problems I face in Bulbapedia (an honest apology if that bothers you, BTW), I though about asking this from you.

:I imagine you could check the game data of Stadium 2 to find out, but I don't really have the ability to do that. The easier alternative would just be to get someone who does have the game to check, rather than relying on YouTube videos. I don't have the game, but you could check the category {{cat|Pokémon Stadium 2 players}} and ask an active user there. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 09:47, 28 September 2017 (UTC)
::I thought about that possibility, too. I agree that checking the game's code would be the easiest way of find this stuff out. However, I'm not sure which Stadium 2 players actually know how to dig into the game's coding, so I guess "manual checking" is the best alternative. I even remember all the Trainers whose Hidden Power types need to be checked in Stadium 2. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 10:14, 28 September 2017 (UTC)

::::Yeah, I understood that as well. I basically meant to say that checking the code can be a bit hard for your average player, so manual checking can be much easier. I've just noticed that some Pokémon seem really reluctant to use Hidden Power, either because the AI is being a bit dumb, or the type of the move is extremely situational. Either way, yeah. I'll ask someone to check them if they can. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 10:36, 28 September 2017 (UTC)
== Generation VI Glitches==
Hello. I put on the page [[List of glitches in Generation VI]] about opponents in the Battle Maison using Will-O-Wisp on one of their allies and you removed it because you said it  may be for intended behavior. I understand that it may be used for intended behavior but I have had many cases where they use it on their allies without any intention (e.g. the target doesn't have Guts or Facade). Someone else has encountered this on the talk page and has agreed with me. Have you encountered it? Do you want me to find evidence? Thanks.

== Photon Geyser ==
"Necrozma can learn this move when it’s in its Dusk Mane or Dawn Wings forms, as well". I taked this on the official USUM site, so, Photon Geyser is exclusive to Dusk Mane and Dawn Wings forms like Kyurem's Ice Burn or Freeze Shock. {{unsigned|Pika fanatic}}
:I believe [http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/ultra/en-us/gallery-detail-3.html the context] makes it clear that "as well" means "in addition to its regular form".

Hi, I've not been on for quite a time, and I remember making a page about the 30 question mark glitch ([[a:File: 30questionmarks.PNG|here's]] the picture I used), but now I can't find it, neither in the wiki itself nor in my contributions.

It has come to my attention [[User talk:Pumpkinking0192#Eruption|on my talk page]] that the moves Eruption and Water Spout consistently or semi-consistently have their power listed as — on learnset pages and as 150 on pages that list moves. Which of these is correct? [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 18:56, 19 January 2018 (UTC)
:In-game their power is listed as 150. I think the best option is to match the game on both the move and learnset pages.

== Ability Capsule and Category:Items ==
While I am not one to argue with Admins or otherwise authority, stating that Category:Items is used for only items in the Item pocket is 100% false. Category:Items currently (and as far as I am aware has always) contained subcategoried for Key Items, Berries, and Medicine, and contains unlistable number of items that are not just "Item Pouch" items. Category:Medicine itself is entirely part of Category:Items, and all items within it use the dual category classification that you just undid, which is why I was correcting it the Ability Capsule page.
No disrespect intended, but I feel this change to be both incorrect and counterproductive
--[[User:13akoors|13akoors]] ([[User talk:13akoors|talk]]) 05:45, 4 March 2018 (UTC)
EDIT: After re-looking, it seeks that only subcategories follow the system I was using. That said, Ability Capsules do not fit within any subcategory, so I would argue an exception should be made for it
:I think I might have been a bit unclear. Only items in the items pocket should be ''directly'' placed in Category:Items. The Medicine category is in Category:Items, but the items in Category:Medicine are not also placed directly in Category:Items.
:There was discussion about creating a new category specifically for the items pocket (so that no items would be placed directly in Category:Items), although we hadn't agreed on a name. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 05:50, 4 March 2018 (UTC)

== A bunch of things ==
Hi there. I've got several things:
#[[User talk:Kogoro#Template:MoveInfobox]]: Any idea what to do about it? I've really tried hard, and Kogoro is(/was) aware but continues to ignore me. (Also, do you know anything regarding BulbaBot? I'm not even sure it's intended to be fixed.)
#[[Talk:Pokémon outbreak#Generation III outbreaks]]: FYI.
#The fossil pages: I guess pages named "X and Y Fossils" are supposed to end up deleted? If so, I guess the procedure would be to first de-link them, then move them onto "X Fossil" (to preserve history) and split off "Y Fossil"? If that's right/reasonable, if ''someone'' went and took care of links, would you be able to do the rest (as Lanthanum has started to create individual pages in their userspace, I guess it'll require <code>delete</code> and <code>mergehistory</code>)?
#[[#New pages notability]]/[[User:Nescientist/Confusion (status condition)]]: Any progress there?
#[[Template talk:Sup/t#Link target]]: Could you have a look, please?
#[[Template:Movelist]]: I'd like to have movelists like those at {{m|Snatch}} be sortable. But the template creates and hides up to four columns, causing the Gen.VII column to order by Gen.III etc., which makes me wonder: what was wrong with [[Special:Diff/2656742|this edit]] that caused you to develop some workaround (that breaks the sorting)? (And also, why are there even optional generic columns at all?) You're more into it, plus you stated reasons in that workaround edit summary that I think I fail to understand thoroughly.
Thanks. [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 17:19, 6 March 2018 (UTC)
:Bumping, and expanding:
::7. Could you do the Bottle Caps Lanthanum started in their userspace?
::8. Can I do [[Potion]] in a similar way than [[Revive]] (and change <code><nowiki>{{DL|Potion|Potion}}</nowiki></code> be changed to <code><nowiki>[[Potion]]</nowiki></code> in the process?)
::9. What also came to my mind is [[legendary artifacts]]: Akurochan recently created articles on many of them, and when considering how to fix their introductions, I came to the conclusion that I think we shouldn't deliberately link there at all, but delete the page!? It's basically just a list of {{template|Item}} templates for largely unrelated items, and you said at its talk that it was just a title that describes that list. I don't know how much deleting pages with histories (and talk pages) is frowned upon (and I don't like it much), so maybe we just move the article onto the category?? (Should I address this on the articles talk page? Or else, if you give me a go, I guess I can do the rest even without admin powers!?)
:Sorry, but I don't really know better than to just drop anything here. If there's someone else who can (currently) assist (or accept assistance) better for any or all matters, please direct me. :) [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 16:05, 18 March 2018 (UTC)

::::That's more like a personal interpretation that something official, which should be kept out of articles. As far as the game is concerned, Revives have been classified under Status Restore, even though I personally think it belongs under HP Restore, and still sometimes look in the wrong pocket for the Revive. Just because I personally think a Revive better fits an HP Restore, I wouldn't put that in BP because that's just personal interpretation.

:::::The point I'm making is that it's confirmed that the "Status Restore" category isn't exclusively a category for items that restore status conditions, so it provides no indication of whether a given status is a status condition or not. FireRed and LeafGreen's help menu gives a fairly clear definition of "Status Problem" (what status conditions were called at the time).
<blockquote><ab>Status problems include:
Sleep: Can't use moves.
Poison: Causes steady HP loss.
Paralysis: May prevent moves.
Burn: HP loss and lowers ATTACK.
Freeze: Can't use moves.
These can be healed with items, etc.</ab></blockquote>

Hi, I'm Dove. I'm new here with an auto-confirmed email address, but for some reason, I cannot edit my user page. Could you create it for me? Plus, could you add a welcome to my talk page? Cheers! [[User:DoveSmith|DoveSmith]] ([[User talk:DoveSmith|talk]]) 14:39, 14 January 2019 (UTC)
:Hi Dove. Users cannot edit their user page until they are {{bp|autoconfirmed}}, which requires that you have an account for a few weeks and that you have made at least a certain (reasonably small) number of edits. However, we don't disclose the specific values, in order to make sure that users are actually contributing and not just trying to become autoconfirmed (and I don't remember what they are anyway). I recommend reading the {{bp|userspace policy}}, which has more information on this topic. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 08:29, 15 January 2019 (UTC)

:I definitely think that if we do keep them, they should be in a separate section to indicate that the player doesn't actually get to keep them, like Forage Bag items on the [[Lush Jungle]] page (or how we would handle items inside the Battle Pyramid proper vs items the player could obtain in the lobby, although I don't think that's actually a concern). --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 09:03, 15 January 2019 (UTC)

== School/College usertags ==
I made two generic usertags identifying the user as either a student or an alumnus of a user-specified school, college, or university (with a user-specified Pokémon image standing in for the school's mascot):
* [[User:SilSinn9801/User Student]]
* [[User:SilSinn9801/User Alumnus]]
The usertag policy states that a usertag template may only be moved to templatespace if at least five users transclude it into their userpages. But given that almost everybody in Bulbapedia either attends or has attended school, and given that most schools use animal-based mascots and many Pokémon resemble such animals, it might not be too long before these usertags become popular (perhaps as popular as political tags, if not more). &#x200b;‑‑[[User:SilSinn9801|''<b style="color:red">SilSinn</b>'']] ([[TID]]s: '''768426[[Pokémon Sun|<sup style="color:#F1912B">S</sup>]]''', '''123446[[Pokémon Ultra Moon|<sup style="color:#226DB5">UM</sup>]]''') ([[User talk:SilSinn9801|talk]]) 21:50, 28 January 2019 (UTC)
== Religion usertag ==
I also made a new [[:Category:Religion tags|religious usertag]] that you might like to check out:
* [[User:SilSinn9801/User Freemason]]
It is still subject to the usertag policy that requires at least five users before being moved to templatespace. But it's still a cool usertag (that doesn't mean I am a Freemason, however). &#x200b;‑‑[[User:SilSinn9801|''<b style="color:red">SilSinn</b>'']] ([[TID]]s: '''768426[[Pokémon Sun|<sup style="color:#F1912B">S</sup>]]''', '''123446[[Pokémon Ultra Moon|<sup style="color:#226DB5">UM</sup>]]''') ([[User talk:SilSinn9801|talk]]) 00:23, 29 January 2019 (UTC)
== Automatically updating GO stats on all the pages ==
Most of the stats for older-generation Pokémon are grossly outdated, and it doesn't seem like anyone wants to manually go through all the pages to update them, so I created a simple solution to kill hundreds of birds with one stone.
I left the information and test cases [[Template_talk:Spindata/GO#Automatic_way_to_update_all_stats|here]]. Basically a lookup template that, when placed into [[Template:Spindata/GO]], will instantly update all the stats.
[[User:TehPerson|TehPerson]] ([[User talk:TehPerson|talk]]) 00:01, 6 February 2019 (UTC)
== Move Reminder stuff ==
I see you reverted my edit to the Move Reminder page. I just want to say that there wasn't any breeding involved on my end. When I got my Numel to learn Double-Edge and it evolved into Camerupt, eventually I replaced Double-Edge with Earthquake and when I took it to the Move Reminder, Double-Edge was one of the moves that it could re-learn. The same thing happened with a Pikachu that I evolved into a Raichu. The Pikachu had known Agility, which Raichu cannot learn, but upon evolving the Raichu, Agility was available to be re-learned. I didn't undo your edit because I want you to perhaps see for yourself, and because I'm unsure of which generation this phenomenon began. It's very easy to do with Pikachu if you've got some Thunder Stones. <font face="Verdana">[[User:Blue Ninjakoopa|<span style="color:blue">BNK</span>]]</font><sup>[[User talk:Blue Ninjakoopa|Talk]]</sup> 02:11, 7 February 2019 (UTC)
== Update to Move template for Pokémon GO ==
I made a proposed update to [[Template:GoChargedAttack]]/[[Template:GoFastAttack]] templates, and left the information [[Template talk:GoChargedAttack|here]]. It basically combines the two templates into one, and can now display Trainer Battle info as well. [[User:TehPerson|TehPerson]] ([[User talk:TehPerson|talk]]) 14:08, 12 February 2019 (UTC)
== Contest stats move table ==
I see you're an administrator so I think I could get the answer from you. Do you see that humongous move table on [[Cool (condition)]]? All contest stats use it and I think it is unreasonably arranged. That's why I've made my own version which should be the best version possible which you can see on my page: [[User:Dominikololo]].  I am going to make same ones for remaining stats but often when I try to make such big change, administrators undo it. Is there any issue with my intentions?--[[User:Dominikololo|Dominikololo]] ([[User talk:Dominikololo|talk]]) 17:53, 12 February 2019 (UTC)
== Three additional usertag templates for your consideration ==
I recently made three new usertag templates: one generic political usertag (remember [[Template talk:User Vote#Generic political usertag?|what I had suggested weeks ago]]?) and two organization usertags:
* <nowiki>{{</nowiki>[[User:SilSinn9801/User Political]]<nowiki>}}</nowiki>
* <nowiki>{{</nowiki>[[User:SilSinn9801/User LionsClub]]<nowiki>}}</nowiki>
* <nowiki>{{</nowiki>[[User:SilSinn9801/User Rotary]]<nowiki>}}</nowiki>
If any of these three usertags meets or exceeds the five-userpage threshold specified by the [[Bulbapedia:Usertags|usertag policy]] for moving into templatespace, then please give it/them some consideration. Thankee! &#x200b;‑‑[[User:SilSinn9801|''<b style="color:red">SilSinn</b>'']] ([[TID]]s: '''768426[[Pokémon Sun|<sup style="color:#F1912B">S</sup>]]''', '''123446[[Pokémon Ultra Moon|<sup style="color:#226DB5">UM</sup>]]''') [[User talk:SilSinn9801|&#x1F4AC;]] 02:12, 16 February 2019 (UTC)
== The Avail templates ==
Can you add these 2 options to the Avail templates?
{| class="roundy" style="border:3px solid #88a; margin:auto"
|-
! style="background:#88a; {{roundytl|5px}}" | Symbol
! style="background:#88a; {{roundytr|5px}}" | Meaning
|-
| TC
| The Pokémon can be {{pkmn2|caught}} in-game after somehow interacting with another game.
|-
| TE
| The Pokémon cannot be caught in-game, but an earlier evolutionary stage can be obtained. It can be [[evolution|evolved]] into the Pokémon in this game by trading.
|}
Examples for the first row include DPPt Spiritomb and Regigigas and ORAS Giratina. Examples for the second row include RBY Golem and GSC Politoed. Many Pokemon players can't trade, so I think it's important to distinguish these Pokemon from regular C Pokemon and E Pokemon. Also, do you think the availability list can distinguish Pokemon that players can receive only if they give up another Pokemon (like Omanyte and Kabuto in the Kanto games)?

== Spindata/GO update (again) ==
Regarding your last comments on the Spindata/GO template, I made a v2 that addresses a better way to display moves. [[Template_talk:Spindata/GO#Another_update_suggestion|Check it out here]]. [[User:TehPerson|TehPerson]] ([[User talk:TehPerson|talk]]) 05:54, 23 February 2019 (UTC)
== An interesting usertag based on User Template ==
On my userpage, a few weeks ago I had placed a custom usertag based on the generic {{template|User Template}} usertag template:
<pre>{{User Template|This [http://community.wikia.com/wiki/User:SilSinn9801 user] has a '''{{wp|Wikia}}''' account, but refuses to contribute to '''[[The Pokémon Wiki]]''' because he/she insists that|Bulbapedia|Bulbapedia is the BEST English-language Pokémon wiki EVER!|201W.png|Black 2|Bulba|???|Black}}</pre>
I think those people who say that Wikia (ehem, FANDOM a.k.a. FANDOOM) sucks and those who have Wikia accounts but prefer to contribute here than there could make good use of this usertag of mine, even though it has not yet been developed into a template (not even in my userspace). If turned into a template, then effectively it could look somewhat like this:
<pre>{{User Template|This {{#if:{{{1|}}}|[http://{{{subdomain|community}}}.wikia.com/wiki/User:{{{1}}} user]|user}} has a '''{{wp|Wikia}}''' account, but refuses to contribute to '''[[The Pokémon Wiki]]''' because he/she insists that|Bulbapedia|Bulbapedia is the BEST English-language Pokémon wiki EVER!|201W.png|Black 2|Bulba|???|Black}}</pre>
With this, people could show their pride/loyalty towards Bulbapedia and maybe some disdain/derision towards Wikia/FANDOOM.

==Idea for Pokemon move pages==
Seeing as some pages are getting really long because of all the ways lots of Pokemon can learn certain moves, what if the TM/HM/Move tutor tables are combined into one? The tables could have a header on how the move is learned in that particular generation, and they all use check marks to signify compatibility anyways, so I think it's a simple change that can go a long way in presenting data. [[User:Lanthanum|Lanthanum]] ([[User talk:Lanthanum|talk]]) 13:45, 6 March 2019 (UTC)
:I think this would be a good idea. Often, the Pokemon in the 2 tables are mostly the same. [[User:Sumwun|sumwun]] ([[User talk:Sumwun|talk]]) 14:25, 7 April 2019 (UTC)
== Emmakazam again==
This is the fifth time I've asked about this to an admin and I haven't had a single response. Shouldn't admins respond to things like this? Could you undo Emmakazam22's edit to SM110, listing Jessie and Meowth as narrating the title, which isn't right, seeing as this isn't how it has been listed on other pages. Meowth and Jessie only talk about the next episode and its title and Emmakazam22 added that even though I undid someone else who added Meowth to the list. I put something else on that users talk page a couple of weeks ago, and they haven't responded, so I don't think the user it listening to other people.

== Spit Up's power ==
I see you reverted my edit in the list of modified moves about spit up's power. I'm ok with the reason, as long as we use that criteria on other pages as well. Right now, there is no mention to that in spit up's page, and every Pokémon's generation III learnset page I checked had "—" for the power as well.

== SM118 ==
Could you do something about Pikablu's recent edit to SM118, where they deleted a trivia point just because they didn't find it important enough. That user seems to have a problem with me every now and then and seeing as we add trivia points about the previews, I don't see what good reason there could have been for Pikablu to delete that trivia point.

== Mt. Coronet ==
Several of the wild Pokemon tables on [[Mt. Coronet]] have percentages that add up to more than 100% or seem to conflict with Serebii's tables. Can you verify them like you did for Route 204? [[User:Sumwun|sumwun]] ([[User talk:Sumwun|talk]]) 01:58, 24 April 2019 (UTC)
== Giratina's ability ==
When I was testing in generation IV what would happen with a Giratina holding a Griseous Orb if it had Klutz, I noticed that it was not possible to change Giratina's ability at all when holding the Griseous Orb. The ability can still be copied or suppressed, and in Altered forme can be changed freely. Pokémon other than Giratina holding the Griseous Orb can also have their abilities changed normaly. This effect only happens in generation IV.
The point is, I couldn't figure out where this effect should be noted here in bulbapedia, since it isn't conected to any specific move or ability (and so far, it may be conected to either Grisous Orb or the Origin Forme, there is no way to be sure without testing in the Distortion World). Maybe it could be in Giratina's page, but there doesn't seem to be an appropriate section. Anyway, I'd like your opinion on what to do about it. Thanks.

However, if say Totodile's Lure Ball appears in an anime opening/ending, that probably doesn't need to be mentioned as an appearance of the Lure Ball, in the same way that on the Lure Ball page we only list the episode in which Totodile was caught and not every subsequent time its Poké Ball has appeared. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 10:51, 15 May 2019 (UTC)

== A new template needed ==
For anime Pokédex entries, the footer template usually used is {{template|Animedexfooter/Pokémon}}. However, there is no footer template in case a Pokémon has had entries in different regions within the same series. Instead, what's used as the divider/footer looks like this:
<pre>|}
{| width="100%" style="background: #{{colorschemedark|Kanto}}"
|-
| class="roundybottom" width="100%" style="text-align:right; background: #{{colorschemelight|Kanto}}" | <small>'''Original series entries continue below.'''</small>
|}
|}</pre>

== Categorising redirects ==
Hey! I was wondering what Bulbapedia's policy—if it has one—on adding categories to redirects was. I know you've noticed that I've been making a lot of changes to the way that different types of locations are categorised, but there are several locations that I'm uncertain about. They don't have articles of their own, and I'm not entirely sure how to go about categorising them, if at all. I feel like I should do it somehow, but it feels weird adding [[:Category:Beaches]] to [[Vientown]] (for Nabiki Beach) or [[:Category:Hotels]] to [[Heahea City]] (for the Tide Song Hotel), for example. Would I be better off categorising the redirects, categorising the pages that they redirect to, or just categorising nothing at all?

::I just found the perfect task for someone looking for some busywork: Confirming the breakable rock items in Sun and Moon/Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon. See the [[breakable rock]] page for a list of locations. We need someone to go through each location and smash the rocks enough times in each game to confirm the item drops of each location. Some of the location pages currently only list drops for Sun and Moon, which I doubt is actually the case. Likewise, I suspect that the Star Piece and Comet Shard are available in more locations than we currently list. Furthermore, [[Iki Town]] and [[Wela Volcano Park]] had breakable rocks added in USUM, but we don't list any items as obtainable from them, but I suspect that's incorrect.

== Some suggestions regarding Template:Shop ==
First and foremost: apologies if you're currently in the process of refining your version of the template. I also wasn't entirely sure if I should make any edits to the template's talk page, so I decided to leave my comments here. Sorry if that's an issue. Anyway, is there any particular reason that you set the <code>align-items</code> property to <code>start</code> rather than leaving it as the default <code>stretch</code>? I personally think that it looks much nicer if every item stretches to fill its entire row (or is at least centred within its row). I also think that the columns should be widened. The superscripts in the examples that you give wrap even though there's plenty of available horizontal space. ~ [[User:Dannyboy601|Dannyboy601]] ([[User talk:Dannyboy601|talk]]) 19:30, 9 June 2019 (UTC)
:I was really just trying to make the template look exactly how it does now, but built using divs instead of tables.
:I felt like it looked nicer when it's like the [[Poké Mart#Generation IV|current template]], which only takes up as much space as it needs, rather than stretching and having large empty spaces inside the items. Stretching the [https://imgur.com/oTkIByC top] or the [https://imgur.com/a/1Dynd0P bottom] still looks bad IMO.
:Additionally, on my monitor (as you can see from those screenshots) and phone, the superscripts don't wrap, just like on the current template. Feel free to tweak the width slightly to avoid that if it's wrapping on your screen. (I know on mine, TM73 (Thunder Wave) just barely fits on one line.) --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 02:39, 10 June 2019 (UTC)
::That's fair. For some reason, it didn't occur to me to compare it to what the existing version of the template looks like. I agree that those two examples don't look great, but what I had in mind was either stretching both the top and bottom equally, or just using <code>align-items: center</code> to vertically centre the grey blocks within their rows.
::As for the width, I'd forgotten that not every screen displays things in quite the same way. For me, TM26 (Earthquake) just barely fits on one line. Is there some way of setting a minimum column width such that everything fits on one line regardless of screen properties? I also think that it might be better if, instead of using superscripts, any notes were just placed on a new line beneath the item name (like what's done for the Poké Ball in your example). ~ [[User:Dannyboy601|Dannyboy601]] ([[User talk:Dannyboy601|talk]]) 09:39, 10 June 2019 (UTC)

== Key Item questions ==
Just out of curiosity, why did you split the Orre versions of the Machine Part and Elevator Key into their own articles? The Card Key was also featured in Orre, but did you not split it because those first two items were in both games, while the Card Key was just in one of them?<br>
On a somewhat related subject, I don't know if you noticed or not, but I created a link template for Orre, like {{template|ka}} for example. Do you think it's worth of existing, mainly because of these two item pages you've created?<br>
PS. Did you notice my above template edit request? You only edited one of the in-game event Pokémon templates, as far as I know. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 13:26, 14 June 2019 (UTC)
:The main reason I decided to split those two was the difference in Japanese name. The Elevator Key in particular was a pretty obvious case, since the core series item didn't debut until after the Orre games. The Card Key I considered splitting, but since it has the same Japanese name, and it already has two uses in the core series, I figured it made the most sense to leave them on a single page.
:I've seen your requests, and the only one I haven't done is {{template|HeldItems}}. The reason for that is that that template requires more fundamental changes than simply changing some links for it to be fixed. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 13:32, 14 June 2019 (UTC)
::Okay. I must've just missed those edits. And of course editing a complicated template will take time.
::I should probably add "not to be confused with" notifications for those items on the Orre Key item list, but 1) should the same be done for the core series Key Item lists, and 2) in the labels on the Key Item lists, are we going to say the Orre Card Key, Elevator Key, and Machine Part are exclusive to the Orre games, or are we going to list the Generation they were introduced in?

When I created the category for locations that can only be accessed through events, I added only the locations that can ''never'' be accessed outside of events.

== GOChargedAttack template ==
I did some work on top of your draft for the GOChargedAttack template rework, and that for the GOLearnlist. Essentially I added fields to show opponent stat drops and a box to list historic patch updates to move stats. I've also aggregated all the needed info and recompiled all the templates ahead of time for if and when it gets mainspaced. Please let me know if there are any adjustments you'd like to see:
* [[User:TehPerson/Fast Attacks/1]]
* [[User:TehPerson/Charged Attacks/1]]
* [[User:TehPerson/Charged Attacks/2]]

:I fixed some minor display issues in Firefox, where the round corners at the bottom of a table wouldn't show up.
:I really like what you've done with it. I prefer your notes column to start and end dates, the GO type icons are a better choice, I really like greying out currently unobtainable moves, and I like the updates section. However, I do have some thoughts:
:*It might be worth adding a note to Smeargle. Not sure how to make it sufficiently concise to fit in that box though.
:*I don't see the point in the list of Pokémon being sortable if it's only sortable by Pokédex number, since the list is already sorted by Pokédex number anyway.
:*I think there's too much width being given to Pokémon sprites. I would suggest setting a width inside the entries themselves, since the columns being merged makes it difficult to control from the header template.
:*Is there any particular reason you chose the double arrow ⇒ over a a single arrow like → for the updates section? It looks off to me.
:*I'm not sold on color-coding the updates section. Damage window changes can't necessarily be classified as a nerf or buff, and adding stat boosts/drops would always be a buff but it's not colored as one. I think just leave everything as the default black.
:*I don't think you need the dates in the updates section as Level 1 bullets with the changes as Level 2. Instead, why not just have the dates unbulletted and the changes as Level 1 bullets? So for Steel Wing for example, you could use this instead
<pre>
; July 30, 2016
* Energy boost: {{color|{{green color}}|4 ⇒ 12}}
; February 16, 2017
* Power: {{color|{{red color}}|15 ⇒ 12}}
* Energy boost: {{color|{{red color}}|12 ⇒ 8}}
* Duration: {{color|{{green color}}|1.33 ⇒ 1.3 seconds}}
* Damage window: {{color|{{green color}}|1.13 - 1.33 ⇒ 0.5 - 0.8 seconds}}
; February 21, 2017
* Power: {{color|{{red color}}|12 ⇒ 11}}
* Energy boost: {{color|{{red color}}|8 ⇒ 6}}
* Duration: {{color|{{green color}}|1.3 ⇒ 0.8 seconds}}</pre>
:*I don't think it's clear enough which updates apply to Gyms & Raids and which apply to Trainer Battles. Most are going to be for the former, since Trainer Battles are fairly new, but I don't expect most readers to have the date Trainer Battles were added memorized. Perhaps you could split the Updates section into two columns, one for each type of battle? --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 12:39, 27 June 2019 (UTC)
::* I'll make some of the changes accordingly to your input. I'm experimenting with making the 2 updates columns, but imo it looks weird, and at best, still really annoying to add the conditional parsers. Another thing we can try is simply adding a header between each group (e.g. for Shadow Claw):
<pre>
;Gyms & Raids
* July 30, 2016
** Power: 16 → 11
** Energy boost: 7 → 8
* February 16, 2017
** Power: 11 → 12
** Energy boost: 8 → 6
** Duration: 0.95 → 1.2 seconds
** Damage window: 0.75 - 0.95 → 0.25 - 0.5 seconds
* February 21, 2017
** Power: 12 → 9
** Duration: 1.2 → 0.7 seconds
;Trainer Battles
* February 1, 2019
** Energy boost: 7 → 8</pre>
::: As for the color coding, I'll have it removed since it'll make it easier to maintain in the future anyways. But just to note, any increase to damageWindowStart would basically constitute a nerf, since it makes it easier to dodge (however, I'm honestly not currently sure what mechanics damageWindowEnd plays). [[User:TehPerson|TehPerson]] ([[User talk:TehPerson|talk]]) 17:27, 27 June 2019 (UTC)
== Spindata/GO ==
Another thing I was revisiting was reworking the Spindata/GO template to include more relevant information. This is a version I made that is basically the current template, but with fields to include more info and an optional "notes" section to add any footnotes (as opposed to the mess we have on the {{p|Eevee}} article, for example).
* [[User:TehPerson/Spindata/GO]]
I also have a much more aggressive rework to include stat bars, a move list table, and game sprites here:
* [[User:TehPerson/List of Pokémon (GO)/4]]
Please let me know if you have any input on either, and whichever you may think is a better direction. [[User:TehPerson|TehPerson]] ([[User talk:TehPerson|talk]]) 18:08, 28 June 2019 (UTC)

The evidence of him copying information from PokeBeach includes but not limited to, using <nowiki>’</nowiki> instead of <nowiki>'</nowiki>, and PokeBeach {{tt|purposely|it may be by mistake though}} put Psyduck & Slowpoke-GX instead of the correct Slowpoke & Psyduck-GX. The first few mistakes I know new users often make those mistakes, but they're causing confusions for editing and some mistakes are only rectifiable by admins. Is there anything to do about it?

Hello.
If you don't mind, please consider restoring the small SM/USUM table at [[Pickup (Ability)]].
It could be just me, but I find the large table too big and the percentages are a mess, compared to the small table with aligned percentages like the tables above from other games. I think the large version has poor readability compared to the small version.

Hello, SnorlaxMonster. How are you doing? I have a problem. See, when SM117 came out in the dub, I was able to watch it. Then when Team Rocket showed up and stolen Sandy, Meltan and Shaymin.

:::No, they are actually divided by 4. The division by 8 was an incorrect mathematical simplification someone had made by changing the main divisor from 100 to 50 and removing the factor of 2 from (Base + IV). While both formulas are equivalent without rounding, when you include rounding the two formulas can result in different results, so it's important to use the same divisor as the games themselves without simplifying the formula.

:While I would certainly recommend most people not undo BulbaBot's edits (for a number of reasons), please be assured that when a staff member does, it's for good reason and they know what they're doing.
:There are some pages where the interwiki links are more fragile than usual, because there's a topic that has one article on one language wiki, but multiple on different language wikis.
:The [[Secret Key]] is a great example of this (and one that I constantly have to monitor the interwiki links of): The Japanese and Chinese wikis have a single page for both the [[Secret Key (Kanto)|key to the Cinnabar Gym]] and the [[Secret Key (Sinnoh)|key to Rotom's Room]], while all of the other languages have separate pages for those two (or at least separate destinations, for cases where it's only a page section not a whole article). The Japanese and Chinese content pages are associated with the disambig page, while the other wikis' content pages are not associated with the Japanese or Chinese wiki pages at all.
:The problem is that the interwiki bots won't automate linking between content pages and disambig pages. If someone on any of the wikis happens to link one of the specific item pages to the shared item pages on the Japanese or Chinese wiki, the interwiki bots all quickly replace all of the links on the individual pages with links to the shared pages, and you end up with a many-to-one relationship across wikis (which causes issues for the interwiki bots, as well as just being conceptually bad). This has happened a few times recently: Most recently due to [[:fr:Special:Diff/1577175|an edit]] to the French wiki that added incorrect interwiki links, but not that long before that, when the [[:de:Geheimschlüssel (Kanto)|German page was split]].
:The reason I would recommend regular users not try to fix this is that it requires editing every page in the association network on each wiki; if you miss one, the interwiki bots will just reinsert the incorrect link when they update again at their regular time. This will also happen if you get reverted on one of the wikis, which as someone with some amount of clout, I'm normally not, although I do still get reverted sometimes (but not normally on Bulbapedia—fortunately, your revert was reverted before the interwiki bots had a chance to spread the incorrect link across all of the wikis again). --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 11:34, 7 October 2019 (UTC)
== Signature move in other languages ==
Hello! Regarding [[Special:Diff/3039599|this edit]], what do you mean by signature move not being a "proper term"? I originally added those names from other languages from the [https://youtu.be/dP_0oWjh9Jg?t=29s Volcanion event video from 2016] on the French, German, Italian, and European Spanish channels. The French and Spanish names match those currently used on [https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon-galar-region/morpeko/ Morpeko's page] for Pokémon Sword and Shield. The German and Italian names have since changed though, from "Paradeattacke" to "einzigartigen Attacke", and "mossa caratteristica" to "mossa esclusiva", respectively. Don't you think they are notable enough to warrant an "In other languages" section? --[[User:Mine4017|Mine4017]] ([[User talk:Mine4017|talk]]) 23:34, 16 October 2019 (UTC)
:"Signature move" isn't really an official term. It's typically a descriptive term, and the exact wording used will vary between uses. For example, as you have pointed out, the German and Italian names differ between those two sources. As a result, I don't think it's worth documenting names in other languages. However, if you can show me that there are specific names that are consistently used in many sources (so more than just the two you've presented so far), I could be convinced otherwise. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 11:24, 18 October 2019 (UTC)

[[User:TehPerson|TehPerson]] ([[User talk:TehPerson|talk]]) 16:43, 8 December 2019 (UTC)
:Since it's not a property of the Pokémon, but rather something the Trainer can apply, I don't think Dynamax should be noted in the template.

::If that's the case, would simply applying the "-Gigantamax" in the Pokemon's artwork form suffice?

Is there a specific wiki rule or policy regarding which ingame Trainers are notable/not notable enough to receive the detailed list of moves and abilities for their Pokemon?

However, upon attempting to add a move/ability list for a Trainer on the Pokemon HQ Lab page, my edit was reverted for not being notable enough - so I was wondering if there was a rule to this effect somewhere.

I've been thinking about testing the effects of some [[:Category:Moves in need of research|moves]] and [[:Category:Abilities in need of research|abilities]] in earlier generations (mostly gen III), but since I currently only have access to games from generation IV and later, I wanted to know if information about these effects taken from emulated games would be considered reliable enough to be included at the appropriate pages.

== 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.

In the same manner as the Card Key article, among other item articles, was split into separate item articles due to distinctive differences, should the S.S.

:For the other key items, they had different sprites or index numbers. For the S.S. Ticket, they all have the same sprite, and in Generation III and IV they had the same index number (within a generation). It wasn't until ORAS that the items started to be given separate index numbers.
:Maybe it makes sense to split them. I'm not sure, but it would certainly make it difficult to link to the page from the Gen III and IV list of items by index number pages (they'd probably need to link to the disambig). --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 14:02, 20 May 2020 (UTC)

I was wondering, we have quite a few items that don't have their effects very well understood, much like moves and abilities, but we don't have a good way to set their articles appart from other pages with incomplete notices.

== Re: Signatures ==
Apologies for the late response. I was busy trying to clear out my inbox and your messages to my talk page had been buried by other email notifications for a bit. A couple of things.
#Regarding [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?diff=3223205 this], I replaced it with the unsigned template because Gian's signature didn't have the required links to their userpage and talk page, which made me think they simply typed it all out by hand. Unless I'm mistaken about the links being required, which I'd call shenanigans on, then, because all other properly done signatures have links to the userpage and talk page. Even with your signature customized, it still includes links to your userpage and talk page.
#Regarding [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?diff=3224504 this], I don't understand why you're chewing me out for this one. [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Talk:Goh%27s_giant_Magikarp&oldid=3224186 Gian's signature] this time around only has a link to their userpage and no talk page link or timestamp.

== Templates in progress ==
Hello,
I've been working on several templates, namely an anime competition template, which are on my user page at the moment. The idea is to get rid of the listing approach and even the notable competitors table and replace it with my template which has a color code based on placing for First, Second, Third {Gold, SIlver and Bronze respectively) and a more neutral color for all other placings, plus the featured pictures would aim to have the competitor (Trainer and Pokémon} listed and featured as well. I haven't been able to get the templates to appear next to each other, and instead they appear vertically only. Could you help, only if you feel the idea has merit?
Also, I was thinking we should update the anime-exclusive and manga-exclusive location templates to simply be called "Anime Locations" and "Manga Locations", with direct links within the template to guide users directly to all anime and manga featured locations, many of which are game-based locations like [[Cerulean City]], which has appeared in all three mediums, game, manga and anime, or [[Ilex Forest]]. We already list the anime-exclusive and manga-exclusive locations on the respective region pages.

== Move Infobox ==
Hey, I would like to make another suggestion, but I am not sure who should I talk to. I discovered that in Move Infobox, like the one used on page [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Quash_(move)], there are flags of moves which haven't been really updated since generation III. I've also found these pages [https://essentialsdocs.fandom.com/wiki/Defining_a_move] [https://essentialsdocs.fandom.com/wiki/Function_codes] that show all flags there are in games now. I am not even sure if the flags are really necessary in the infobox and how staff would like to solve this.

While we are on the Move Infobox, I think contest combinations could be easily put in the infobox too, insteaf of being written in the "Effect" section of the move.
Contest combination:
* DragonBreath → '''Dragon Dance'''
* Dragon Rage → '''Dragon Dance'''
* '''Dragon Dance''' → DragonBreath
* '''Dragon Dance''' → Dragon Claw
* '''Dragon Dance''' → Dragon Rage

== Porygon's creation ==
Hi, I'm doing a little work with Pocket Monsters Encyclopedia and I found information about Porygon being created in 1995 [https://youtu.be/922IYUwF7NQ?t=82]. Adding the fact that at the beginning of the first video the book confirms that in universe it is year 1996 in generation 1 we can conclude the missing part of the timeline and all characters' ages. I'm asking before adding that because I'm not sure how such old part of lore should be treated.--'''[[User:Team Rocket Grunt|<span style="color:#CC0000">Rocket</span>]] [[User talk:Team Rocket Grunt|<span style="color:#666666">Grunt</span>]]''' 22:19, 1 December 2021 (UTC)
:I had this same discussion with Dr. Lava when he received that translation. While it certainly provides interesting information about Pokémon species that can be considered canon, I don't think we should use it to establish character ages, because I don't think we can say that it still applies given the lack of reference to this specific timeline since. I think it's still worth noting when discussing the timeline, but I would prefer to keep the uncertainty in whether it's actually still applicable.
:In fairness, my thoughts here are being influenced by the fact that that would establish character ages at the upper end rather than the more intuitive-feeling lower end of the 10-20 year range.

Hey! I appreciate the edits that you've made so far on the location articles for some of the [[Stat Trainers]], but… wouldn't it be better if each "Partner Trainer" section was placed before the "Pokémon" section on its article? The whole reason that I placed the partner Trainer details in the "Geography" sections in the first place was because I felt that they were relevant to wild battles as well as Trainer battles. (I would've given them a completely new section, but I didn't feel that I had the authority.) [[User:Pale Prism|Pale Prism]] ([[User talk:Pale Prism|talk]]) 00:47, 7 December 2021 (UTC)
:Yeah, I think moving the "Partner Trainer" section higher up makes sense.

== [[Game move errors]] reversion ==
I did [[special:diff/3441162|this edit]] for a reason. The function of the [[Move Reminder]] being able to reteach moves that can only be learned at later levels was removed in [[Generation VIII]], and so I wanted to assume that it's legitimate for the Pokémon to have the move at the correct level if the Pokémon came from Sword or Shield. For them, Linoone with Slash is obtainable at level 29, and Cryogonal is obtainable with Confuse Ray at level 40 on a Pokémon from Sword or Shield. Same goes for wild Purrloin knowing Growl at level 2 in the same game. --'''''[[User:Bfdifan2006|<font color="turquoise">Bfdifan2006</font>]]'''''<sub>[[User talk:Bfdifan2006|<font color="lime">something to say?</font>]] · [[Special:Contributions/Bfdifan2006|<font color="orange">My work documentation</font>]]</sub> 21:43, 15 December 2021 (UTC)

== Moves ==
Greetings! I have been editing the learnset section on the move pages for some now, and I think there is a lot that could be done to improve the readability of these sections. I think that what I do here is worthwhile (regardless of my set of skills not being unique), and my opinion carries some weight. I'd like to list my suggestions, from what I find most agreeable to the ones I think will be hard sells.
* 1: Make the height of each line 68 pixels. The smaller menusprites make the pages look atrocious. I originally thought that this was not implemented due to its difficulty, but after seeing that it works quite well on the [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl#Game-exclusive Pokémon]] page, I don't think there is any excuse to not implement this globally, in every single template that uses menusprites.
* 2: Come to a consensus as to when we should note the learnability of a move within a generation. Let's take {{m|Teleport}} as an example. Pokémon introduced after Gen 4 all have the {{sup/8|SwSh}} tag. Pokémon only available in BDSP have the {{sup/8|BDSP}} tag. Pokémon available in both SwSh and BDSP, but not in Legends, have the {{sup/8|SwSh}}{{sup/8|BDSP}} tags. The only ones that should have no tags are the ones available in all of these games and learn the given move at the same level, like the Abra line in my example. This means that Natu, Xatu and Claydol should have the {{sup/8|SwSh}}{{sup/8|BDSP}} tags next to the level number in the Gen VIII column. I noticed that my edits, following these principles, on {{m|Leaf Storm}} and {{m|Wood Hammer}} had been reverted. This makes it look like as if Alolan Exeggutor and Unovan Lilligant are available in all three games, which in my opinion is misleading and inconsistent with the guiding principles of style. If this is the style we go with, then there would be no distinction between Pokémon that are available in all Gen VIII games and the ones that are only available in SwSh. Please consider.
* 3: Now, if you agree that the former is the proper style in my previous suggestion, you might notice that the game tags make the page look unnecessarily busy. Gone are the days when every Pokémon is in every Generation and all have the same movesets in all the games. I suggest breaking up the Gen VIII column into three separate colums: SWSH, BDSP, and LA, not unlike the way we do with Tutor moves. I suggest we do the same with Gen VII, so we have SMUSUM and PE, or alternatively, SM, USUM, PE, though I think that is not needed just because of a few new Pokémon. I understand that having Generations and games be the headers of the columns might seem inconsistent, but I firmly believe it is the way to go forward. The implementation would be hellish, for sure, but trust me, it will pay off in the long run, as we are definitely getting more dex culling and games with limited move availability. Please, don't reject this idea, and discuss it with the administrative team and the community.
* 4: Let go of the menusprites. I love them, but it's clear that GameFreak is moving away from them, which is understandable, these were not made for the Switch. The only two art styles that are consistently being updated with the new Pokémon are the "Sugimori" artworks and the "Dream World/Global Link" artworks. I suggest using the Sugimori artworks, as they look good enough at 68px already (we might as well go up to 70px, it doesn't matter at that point). I have issues with the "Dream World" artworks' inconsistent coloring and the images not being squares (the latter alone disqualifies them from use in their current form, but the images can be edited). The "Sugimori" artworks are already used on pages like [[List of Pokémon with branched evolutions]], and I think they look good, even at 50px, the details of the Pokémon would be even clearer at 70px. Now, if using dozens of 1200x1200 images on every move page comes with significant loading times, then 70px versions should be uploaded separately. Let me demonstrate it on some Pokémon.
{| class="roundy" style="margin: auto; border: solid 3px #{{dragon color dark}}; background: #{{dragon color}}; padding: 4px; text-align: center;"
|-
| [[File:103AMS8.png]]
| [[File:103Exeggutor-Alola.png|70px]]

|-
| [[File:704MS8.png]]
| [[File:704Goomy.png|70px]]
| [[File:704Goomy_Dream.png|70px]]
|}
* 5: Finally, here comes my hardest sell. Merge the TM/TR and Tutor sections into one section with one template. Make every header the name of the individual games, ditch the generational headers completely. The headers should have two lines: one for the game, one for the availability of the move, eg. HGSS/TM67, SwSh/TR23, or LA/Tutor. As of now, moves that had been both TMs/TRs and tutor moves, have a lot of repeat information. The pages are unnecessarily long (requiring tons of scrolling now that we are closing in on 1000 Pokémon) and the learnsets are not different in most cases. This would make the pages more readable and would significantly decrease loading time, which is an issue. Look at {{m|Flamethrower}} as an example. Every single Pokémon that was able to learn the move through tutoring, could also learn it via TM/TR later.
In conclusion, it is time to adapt to the changes The Pokémon Company has made. Please do not dismiss these suggestions, because the current format is severely outdated and will require infinitely more work to keep up, then to just implement my suggestions (which will be a lot of work). I hope you recognize that this is all in good faith and well worth the consideration from the administrative team and the community.

:A few other things I only realized I missed while taking a shower. It's 2022, using sprites is no longer cool.  A lot of people now have monitors with such high resolution, that the pixels become blurred. I personally have to use Bulbapedia at 80% zoom to enjoy the details of the menusprites. Additionally, while we are at the sprites being obsolete, we should really stop using the type bars from Gen IV that don't even correspond to the type colors Bulbapedia use. It's time for the SwSh type icons to be used. Finally, if we merge the TM/TR and Tutor templates, we might as well make it so the games in which the move cannot be taught in these methods do not appear. This would improve readability, but it's a small thing.

::I would like to throw in few words myself into this discussion. A long time ago we did actually divide the cells for differences in movesets within a generation, instead of using the supscript; I believe we switched sometime during Generation VI, though I forgot what was the exact reason. Another thing of note is that, as far as we know, there's currently nothing to differentiate between "this Pokémon no longer learns this move in Generation VIII" and "this Pokémon is not present in any Generation VIII game". A good example is {{m|Mud-Slap}}; the {{p|Mudkip}} and {{p|Sandile}} lines do not have Mud-Slap in the levelup moveset anymore. Meanwhile, {{p|Yungoos}} line who did learn it in Generation VII via level-up, is not present in any Generation VIII game at all. [[User:Eridanus|Eridanus]] ([[User talk:Eridanus|talk]]) 10:15, 4 February 2022 (UTC)
:::I do think there should be a method in which we singal that the Pokémon is not coded into the game, the most obvious one would be the ✘ sign, but that is already used to mean "does not learn". I'd say we could give a different color to the respective cells, but if we were to use colors at all, we should do it to mark the games/generations. Currently, if you scroll down a few times on a page like {{m|Zen Headbutt}}, you could very quickly lose track of as to which column represents which game. Having different colors for the columns would be solve this issue as well. † could be a solution to mark absence.
:::It seems logical to not divide them pre-Gen 7, the differences between learnsets within generations were minimal. That is no longer a case (to put it mildly).
:::[[User:Oneofthosedf|Oneofthosedf]] ([[User talk:Oneofthosedf|talk]]) 10:53, 4 February 2022 (UTC)
::::You've given a lot to work with here, and perhaps it would make more sense if you isolated your specific examples to a separate user subpage rather than my talk page, so you could get better feedback on them (and so they won't be buried so quickly).
::::1. I don't really mind the varying heights that much, but I can understand your concern. I don't have a problem with it, but I don't really care if we do nothing.
::::2. and 3. I think what you've struck upon is a fundamental problem with the wiki's approach to the core series games that has been an issue since the release of Let's Go. All the way up to Gen 6, generations were all internally very similar, where different core series games in the same generation were basically the same mechanically—the key differences were the maps, story, and new features (but primarily as additions rather than replacements). Starting in Gen 7, with the release of Let's Go, this fundamental assumption about similarity has fallen apart, and it's only continued to get worse in Gen 8.
::::In terms of how to solve it in the specific case of learnsets, I think you're absolutely right that we need to have separate columns for each game. In fact, I proposed that exact concept myself at the most recent Editorial Board meeting. The problem with all of these kinds of solutions is that there are a lot of templates and structures on the wiki that make assumptions that no longer hold, but changing them is a lot of work and unlikely to be backwards compatible. I would love to change the templates to do that, but it would either require coding a bot to automatically update every page, or having people manually update every single move page (of which there are hundreds). The former requires someone technically skilled enough to do so, and trusted enough to run such a bot. I probably could write such a bot, but my time is limited and I feel like that still doesn't address the deeper problem.
::::The deeper problem is that all of Bulbapedia's page content is static. That the list of Pokémon that can learn Growl is maintained entirely separately from the Pokémon pages that list when Pokémon that learn Growl. If we could have some kind of database set up (be it Cargo, SMW, or even an external database) that could be queried to generate learnlists, so that the data wasn't stored directly on move pages, editing templates would allow changing all move pages at once, rather than just necessitating more cascading changes. However, while this kind of approach has been discussed before, I can't imagine it occurring anytime soon.
::::So to be clear, I completely support your proposal and have advocated for it myself. But with the current structure of the wiki, implementing it is a huge amount of work that it is going to be difficult to actually make happen.
::::4. I think you've missed the most obvious choice: Pokémon HOME sprites. Unlike official game artwork (what is often referred to as Sugimori artwork, despite Sugimori often not being the artist anymore), it is specifically designed to be displayed at smaller sizes, as it is in HOME itself. Given that each game is only going to have a subset of the full Pokédex from now on, and each game seems to have their own style of menu sprites, I think HOME artworks are going to be the way forward.
::::5. I completely understand the motivation of merging TM/TR/HM lists with Move Tutor lists, but your examples have convinced me it is a bad idea. They are messy, overly busy, and in my opinion just hard to read.
::::Re: Noting Pokémon/Moves that do not exist: I think what should be done here is that we display ✘ if both the Pokémon and move exist in a particular game, but the Pokémon cannot learn it; and use blanks where either the Pokémon or move does not exist. But again, this is something that I think would be a good design, but would be a lot of work to actually implement at the moment. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 08:42, 5 February 2022 (UTC)
:::::You are right, and since then I made a specific sandbox for my suggestions, you can check it out here: [[User:Oneofthosedf/Sandbox]]. The TM/TR/Tutor merge was an on-the-spot first draft, please don't write it off solely because of that. I had been asking for advice from other users, and I really think the merged template is coming along nicely. I'll add more outliers to my sandbox to prove that it is the right way going forward. A big motivation for me is that post-Gen VII, getting comprehensive learnset information has become difficult and in my opnion, Bulbapedia has the potential to solve the issue (other fansites are incredibly messy as well with a lot of scrolling required).
:::::I am really not a fan of the lighting, coloration and style of the HOME sprites, and the dead space and incosistent placement of the models (eg. Kantonian and Galarian Meowth are centered, Alolan Meowth is on the bottom, the Abra line is light brown, even though they are yellow in every mainline game). They are awkward and incosistent. I think the "Sugimori" artworks are infinitely more pleasing to look at, and are just as official as the HOME models. Check out my sandbox to see what I really mean.
:::::I thought about the massive work that would come with the implementation as well. I think that work just has to be done and better sooner than later, so delaying its implementation in fear of more work (or lack of people who'll do the work) is guaranteed to bring us even more work in the not too distant future. My solution would be creating new templates (so the old ones don't break), and with the help of the information we already have, implementing the new teamplates individually. For the level-up learnset templates, we'd only need to include extra | symbols. It honestly doesn't seem to be more work than what we had to do when SwSh dropped (where every level-up moveset was changed for 600+ Pokémon). It is guaranteed to be less work than adding new learn levels to dozens of Pokémon 900 times. Obviously, I would be front and center of implementing these changes, but I understand if you cannot trust a stranger's promises on the internet.
:::::I picked the ◯ smybol to signal that a Pokémon doesn't exist in a particular game. I don't really care about this one, since "not in game" and "can't learn in it game" could both go blank in my opinion.
:::::[[User:Oneofthosedf|Oneofthosedf]] ([[User talk:Oneofthosedf|talk]]) 11:11, 5 February 2022 (UTC)
::::::I take your point about the HOME sprites. Since they're all the same poses as the official artwork anyway (just rendered as glossy 3D models), I think the official artwork probably is the way to go. And the official artwork at least is guarenteed for the long term, whereas we have no idea how long HOME will last (given that Bank has already been superceded).

::I definitely prefer the dark-filled move mastery icon on a white background (and we should probably move the files to have similar filenames). But I also prefer your layout, where the move master icon does not offset the move name.
::Type icons instead of plaintext types are probably fine, although I'm always hesitant to use images when text would suffice.
::Gender icons don't seem to show up in your draft template. You're missing the gender parameter in the example, but even when I previewed on the talk page with <code>gender=female</code>, the female symbol did not show up. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 09:02, 10 February 2022 (UTC)

== Username change request ==
Hi,
I would like my username changed from Catbert45 to Metalynx. The reason for this change is that I was not thinking carefully back when I created my original username (which is the same username I used across many other sites.) While the username Catbert45 was innocent enough and I just named my account after my cat, everywhere I went people would assume I was a furry and harass me because I had 'cat' in my username. There was even a group of people a while ago who went hunting for any websites which had an account called 'Catbert45' on it just so they could post negative comments about me on as many websites as possible. Fortunately they did not find my account on this website. I have slowly been changing the usernames of all accounts I have where my username is Catbert45, and I now want to change my Bulbapedia username to Metalynx.
Thanks,
--[[User:Catbert45|Catbert45]] ([[User talk:Catbert45|talk]]) 09:23, 17 February 2022 (UTC)
:Sorry if I am not SnorlaxMonster (or any staff member), but I have to say that due to technical issues related to the user rename extension, Bulbapedia does not accept username change requests at the moment. It happened when {{u|Pokemaster97}} tried to rename my old account from ''TheICTLiker4'' to ''{{u|Keyacom}}'', it got stuck on Bulbanews (it renames on all 3 Bulbawiki sites separately, through a queue) and I permanently lost access to that account, so I use this one now. --'''''[[User:Bfdifan2006|<font color="turquoise">Bfdifan2006</font>]]'''''<sub>[[User talk:Bfdifan2006|<font color="lime">rozmowa</font>]] · [[Special:Contributions/Bfdifan2006|<font color="orange">sprawozdanie</font>]]</sub> 11:23, 17 February 2022 (UTC)
:But don't you think having "lynx" in your username kind of defeats the purpose of removing "cat" to not be mistaken for a furry? If everywhere you go people are so hostile towards (perceived) furries, wouldn't it be better to not have any animals in your username?

::Kikugi, please don't criticize other user's username choices. As long as the follow the {{bp|username policy}}, it really doesn't matter what users choose to call themselves.
::Catbert45, unfortunately it's just as Bfdifan2006 described. We currently cannot safely rename users, or else we risk locking the user out of their own account (as happened to them). This is a task that has been on our technician's to-do list for a while. But as you can imagine with a site this large, when we only have one technician, there are often a lot of issues to work on, and some issues have to be prioritized over others. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 01:38, 19 February 2022 (UTC)

::::Oh well, I guess I will just have to wait. But could you please change my username after renaming is fixed, and add me to a list of people whose usernames are to be changed if one exists?
::::Kikugi it's fine, I see why you might be a bit confused. Metalynx is the name of a Pokemon from Pokemon Uranium. I like that game and it's also a neat way to be named after a Pokemon without breaching the username policy since it's a fanmade Pokemon. I doubt people will perceive it as a furry username, especially on a Pokemon site. Also someone somewhere will find something to criticize you for based on your username, no matter what you change it to. Trolls will be trolls. The more important thing is just to ensure that I have a different username on every website. That way, if some troll (or the other word I have for them which I can't say here) with nothing better to do decides to come after me they can't follow me across the internet. --[[User:Catbert45|Catbert45]] ([[User talk:Catbert45|talk]]) 12:37, 19 February 2022 (UTC)

== Adding more detail to Pokemon: Unite item and Pokemon pages? ==
I have noticed that some of the held items and battle items on [[Pokémon UNITE|the Pokemon Unite page]] and the Pokemon on [[List of Pokémon (UNITE)|the Pokemon Unite List of Pokemon page]] are not written in as much detail as the corresponding pages on [https://unite-db.com/ UniteDB].
The information on Bulbapedia for some of these Pokemon and items does not use the exact numbers and details which tell people exactly what they do. I was wondering if we have permission to edit the Pokemon Unite articles on Bulbapedia in order to expand on the descriptions of Pokemon moves and items, given that the source of the exact numbers and more detailed statistics is UniteDB which isn't an official site.
I wrote about this a few days ago on [[Bulbapedia talk:Project Sidegames]] under a post with the same name as the title of this one (which is the post right at the bottom of the page at the time of writing), but there were no replies. I won't bother to copy the entire post over here, but there are more details on the Project Sidegames page and I'd prefer replies to be made to the post on that page rather than here.

Hey there. So, the Missingno page is blocked out from editing by regular users, yet it's got a major problem where its Defense stat made the entire page get heavily lengthened to the point of nonexistence: https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/MissingNo.

I used to edit here as [[User:Croconaw2000|Croconaw2000]], but I deleted the email for the account a long time ago and don’t remember the password, so I was completely unable to log back in.

== Memory (game mechanic) and Pokémon Tower (mechanic) ==
Should [[Memory (game mechanic)]] and [[Pokémon Tower (Mystery Dungeon)|Pokémon Tower (mechanic)]] be moved to '''Memory (mechanic)''' and '''Pokémon Tower (Mystery Dungeon)''', respectively? The former would make the article consistent with [[Season (mechanic)]] and the latter would make it consistent with other disambiguated Mystery Dungeon articles. Alternatively, Memory (game mechanic) could stay as it is and Season (mechanic) could be moved to '''Season (game mechanic)''', which would make both articles more consistent with [[Mystery Dungeon game mechanics]]. Thoughts?

==Move entry template overhaul==
Greetings!
I have made a couple of posts about revamping the move pages earlier this year. You can find them '''[[User talk:SnorlaxMonster#Moves|here]]''' and '''[[User talk:Force_Fire/Archive_12#Suggestions|here]]'''. Since then, [[User:Bfdifan2006|Bfdifan2006]] and I have been working on the implementation of these suggestions. To keep this short, I won't reiterate everything. I originally posted this on the Editor's Hub, even though I didn't need help with the editing stuff. I notified two admins about it, thinking it didn't matter where I post my suggestion, they would eventually respond (though I think the last paragraph meets the purposes of the page). But two weeks passed, and I got no response, the release of SV is coming closer and someone is adding even more game tags to the learnset templates. Considering you are on the Editorial Board, I thought I'd take my chances, and come to you again.
We propose two new templates: a new header and a new entry template for moves. You can see what their implementation would look like '''[[User:Bfdifan2006/Template:Moveentry/proposal|here]]'''. There is also a '''[[User:Bfdifan2006/Template:Movehead|tutorial page]]''' on how to use the new header.
Our goal with this measure is not only future-proofing, but also decluttering and the shortening of pages. That is why we also propose the merger of the TM/TR and the Tutor sections. Since a move can only be one of these three within a game, it's a perfect solution and the template accommodates all possible game combinations. Incredible help for mobile users, who would no longer have to scroll for ages to find out whether their Infernape could learn Drain Punch or not.
I am willing to do 100% of the manual implementation of myself (though coordinated help is appreciated). Since the new templates wouldn't be compatible with the old code, some editing is required. I would start with the level-up learnsets, then move on to merging the TM and Tutoring sections. The breeding sections would remain separate. Considering I helped with updating the learnsets during the release of SwSh and LA, I hope that my commitment is taken seriously. It is a big job, but I am confident it can be finished before the release of SV.
Please note: we'd like to implement an "All Forms" note for Pokémon like Wormadam (it would have all three artworks in the template), Shaymin, etc. Essentially for Pokémon whose forms have almost identical movesets. This would need separate approval, and I would like to hear the admins' opinion on it. This is not urgent and can be implemented after everything else.

==Evolution Moves and other questions==
Hey! I saw that you removed the repetition of Evolution moves when editing reminder moves. Should we no longer list these moves as "1, Evo." or is this just a Gen IX (and PLA) thing because of the move reminder?
Another thing, since it's easier to just list my requests in once. We need a version of the [[Template:Learnlist/MoveNA|MoveNA]] template for Gen IX. I didn't create it myself, because I have no idea what the new one should be called.
The "alldex" templates need to have Paldea added. I already added the syntax to the page, "padex" since that's what I saw on the Paldea Dex page.
And lastly, for now, should I create redirects for the menu sprites so that the move pages don't have a bunch of question marks? Eg. "File:Menu SV Quaquaval.png" -> "File:???Quaquaval.png". Would that even work or the questions marks override it? Or just wait it out until the numbers are confirmed?

:To my knowledge, we only ever listed both 1 and Evo when the Pokémon was actually listed as learning the same move in both ways. For example, in BDSP, Charizard learns Air Slash as both an evolution move and at Level 1. They seemed to always list evolution moves twice in previous games, but not in SV. Evolution moves do still appear in the Move Reminder in SV, so my guess is they figured out how to make them show up there without having to define them twice in learnsets.
:Regarding {{Template|Learnlist/MoveNA}}, the staff are still discussing whether that's something we should continue going forward.
:I've updated {{template|alldex}} and {{template|alldexh}} to add Paldea.
:For Paldean Pokémon, whereever their Pokédex numbers would be listed, just use nulls.

==PLA menusprites==
Hey! For the sake of consistency could we replace the scaled down (duplicate) images we use for the Pokémon introduced in PLA? I uploaded their menu sprites from SV, so we can now use those as the "???MS.png" files. The current ones would probably need to be deleted to be able to function as redirects. I already have the content of redirects ready, just need someone to delete these 28 files.

==Evoboxes==
Hey! Going through the evoboxes I have noticed a few a inconsistencies. I did my best to correct the obvious oversights, but these could go either way, so I must ask a few questions:
* Level up + friendship vs. Level up after learning a move. The former sometimes has both the rare candy and the soothe bell icons, while the latter only ever has a TM icon. The [[friendship]] and the [[time]] pages both have the rare candies. Do we need the rare candy there? (I lean towards no)
* Time of day. What is the proper way of describing and formatting that? Most of the time I saw <small>during the {{color2|000|time|day}}/at {{color2|000|time|night}}</small>, but the time page says during the daytime/during the nighttime. Also should this be in parentheses, should it be small, etc.?
* Pokémon that can evolve into regional variants (eg. Pikachu, Petilil). Should the regular form have the "outside [region]" part, and if so, how should that be formatted? Should be consistent with the "in [region]" part.
* Do we need the gender symbols next to the rare candies? They are too small. (I lean towards no)
* Also, Eevee's, Tyrogue's and Nincada's evoboxes are locked and cannot be updated.
I hope it's OK that I started to add the new item sprites. I really saw no reason not to. It's the standard going forward and we have almost completely done away with pixel art.

== Pocket Monsters Film Comic ==
Hello. I see that you started adding some information from the "Pocket Monsters Film Comic" series. Have you got any access to those books? If yes, then how far does your collection go? I'm asking because I believe that these books may reveal some names for characters that we don't have any article on. In this case, I think being featured in the character section of those books should be notable enough to create a page for such a character. Don't worry, I can take care of it, as long as I'm able to identify the character. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] ([[User talk:Maxim|talk]]) 09:35, 12 February 2023 (UTC)
:Yes, I have all the Kanto and Orange Islands books. I'm currently going through them to add the list of characters featured in the character profile of each book to the [[Pocket Monsters Film Comic]] page. As you may have noticed, I've been creating a few redirects while doing that, because when typing up the lists I'm just searching for the romaji version of the character's Japanese name (since I don't necessarily remember their dub names at a glance) and creating redirects when they don't already exist.
:Unfortunately for what you may have been hoping for, in most cases characters whose names aren't already listed on Bulbapedia are just named generic things. For example, [[Ash's Raticate]]'s former owner and the man from the [[Pokémon Lover's Club]] are both just 紳士 (Gentleman). There's also a character entry for 少女たち (Group of teenage girls), who are the girls in the Celadon Gym. The [[Ghost of Maiden's Peak]] does at least have a Japanese name that wasn't already listed: 謎の美女 (mysterious beautiful woman), although it's very generic-sounding, and similar to the name used for [[Sabrina's father]]: 謎の男 (mysterious man). --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 09:47, 12 February 2023 (UTC)
== Poke Transporter from Japanese Virtual Console questions ==
[https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Pok%C3%A9_Transporter&diff=2593431&oldid=2593043 This edit] says that when transferring from Virtual Console through Poke Transporter, the profanity filter does not apply at all in Japanese. This would be very surprising; do you have more info or more proof?
[https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Pok%C3%A9_Transporter&diff=2693256&oldid=2693250 This other edit] also predates VC GS being compatible with Transporter, and says that an exclamation point/question mark in a Japanese Pokemon's nickname will be changed to a space on transfer, which sort of made sense at the time. But the wording now implies that this still happens when transferring from VC GSC through Transporter. Do you know if this behavior still exists?

Is the Surfing page notable for the mainspace after its updates? All the other HM obstacles have their own articles, so it makes sense to have this one too. → [[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>]] 00:54, 6 November 2023 (UTC)
:For other field moves, we create an article for the obstacle itself, not the action of removing that obstacle. So [[breakable rock]] instead of "smashing rocks", etc. For {{m|Surf}}, the obstacle is [[water tile|water]], which already has a page. [[Flight]] is the one exception, because there is no obstacle to create a page about, so we have to make it about the action instead.
:I don't really see why Surfing needs to be a separate page from [[water tile]]. That page could probably be expanded to detail the action of surfing in more detail, but I haven't seen a compelling case for why Surfing needs to be the only field move to have an article about both the obstacle and the action. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 04:45, 6 November 2023 (UTC)
::Currently, the water tile page only covers the types of water tiles, the mechanics of the tile itself (such as the effects of moves) and what happens when you step on it, similar to the pages for [[snow tile]], [[sand tile]], and others in [[:Category:Special tiles]]. It has no coverage about water as an obstacle. A Surfing page would cover all the mechanics of travelling on water, similar to pages in [[:Category:Obstacles]]. I do your point about merging both articles, but neither of the current titles would fit the merged page, in my opinion. (All the tile pages are currently suggested to be moved to the element, so that's one consideration).
::My main reason for a separate page is to separate the 'outside of battle info' from the in-battle move mechanics on the main move page. I also think Diving should have a separate page for the move and the obstacle, since the [[underwater]] page works mostly as a location info page, not about the mechanics. → [[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>]] 20:06, 8 November 2023 (UTC)
== Ultra Aura or Z-Power? ==
Hello, i just wanted to inform you that i found the term, Ultra Aura from the "Aura" page, Lucario's ability, it is described as the natural power of all living things in Alola and the key to understanding, Z-Moves, which makes it the same as the Z-Power.

== What other bonus discs are there? ==
The Colosseum Bonus Disc isn't the only bonus disc in the franchise. Redirecting is too presumptuous.
I can't think of any other bonus disc. Also, with your permission, I could make it a disambig instead of a redirect. Would that be okay? [[User:Unowninator|¿¡Unowninator?!]] ([[User talk:Unowninator|talk]]) 12:57, 5 November 2023 (UTC)
:I searched "bonus disc" and found various results for DVDs (such as [[Super Wallet]]s, {{DL|List of English language Pokémon movie home video releases (Region 2)|Pokémon the Movie: I Choose You!}}, {{DL|List of English language Diamond and Pearl home video releases (Region 4)|Pokémon Diamond and Pearl - Collection 2}}, etc.) and music CDs ([[Totally Pokémon#Instrumental Bonus Disc|Totally Pokémon]], [[Pokémon in France#Music|Pokémon - Bande originale de la série TV]], etc.), as well as [[List of localization changes in the Pokémon games#Pokémon Colosseum|a European bundle]] in which Pokémon Box Ruby & Sapphire is a bonus disc for Colosseum.
:A "bonus disc" is a broad concept, so even if these other bonus discs did not exist, I don't think it would make sense to redirect it to that page. IMO, making a "bonus disc" disambig makes about as much sense as making a "disc" disambig. Sure, you ''could'' try to list every single instance of a Pokémon product that included a disc that could be described as a "bonus disc", but I don't think that's actually helpful to readers. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 13:23, 5 November 2023 (UTC)
== Userpage links in the mainspace ==
Hello. Regarding the list of dubbed episodes in the Arabic dub section. Honestly I wasn't aware that it was against the rules to link userpage articles in the mainspace, but I was hoping you can make an exception in this case, because I feel like it's important to demonstrate which episodes were dubbed to Arabic, as I have noticed alot of confusion among fans about which episodes and which seasons were dubbed to Arabic, and that's why I created that page and linked it on top of the section. Thanks [[User:SpanskaFlugan|SpanskaFlugan]] ([[User talk:SpanskaFlugan|talk]]) 13:59, 20 November 2023 (UTC)
:If it's important for the page to be linked, then that page should be in the mainspace.

== Documenting status move failure ==
Hi SnorlaxMonster,
I was looking to document a mechanic in Gens I/II by which certain non-damaging moves used by in-game opponents have a 25% chance to fail ([https://youtu.be/4P7Oi83qv2E&t=351 example]) and got some assistance from the Glitch City Research Discord in identifying its implementation within the disassembly ([https://github.com/pret/pokegold/blob/master/engine/battle/effect_commands.asm commented as "25% chance AI fails"]). Since I know you're often involved with this area, I was looking to get some guidance on which pages it would be relevant and how it ought to be described. I was thinking it would be relevant on the individual move pages as well as the pages for status move, stat modifier, and status condition, but I'd appreciate your input. Thanks --[[User:Apopheniac|Apopheniac]] ([[User talk:Apopheniac|talk]]) 01:54, 17 January 2024 (UTC)

Hi, the Project TFG page said you were the contact person, so I thought I’d reach out.

I am willing to help with all the files on Bulbapedia for these, as well as take pics of any figure in my possession.

「」The [[Template:Spin-off series]] has some issues regarding the Mystery Dungeon games' spacing.
