Happy birthday to me!

Don't bug me unless it's really urgent okay?

Urgent! This just in! It's TTE's birthday, I just heard. Congrats. -- Jïörüjï Ðērākō.>.cнаt^ 17:15, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

I was asked to change my username

And Kogoro asked me to contact a bureaucrat to get it changed. I'd say it's urgent enough as she tells me to get it done within 48 hours.

(Funny that earlier, your talk page said "view source" but NOW it says "edit this page.")

I request that it gets changed to User:Tanaka Shimoya. Thanks. --Elohssa Naer'uoy 05:16, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

Was protected earlier since I just archived it. And I wanted to keep it from getting birthday bombed. No birthday wishes to me, please, I already get a clogged-enough talk. TTEchidna 08:07, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

MisterE13's griping corner

As long as it's on your current talk page. Also, I don't think you noticed my explanation of the Cherrim one. I noticed that Cherrim's template was calling for 2 minisprites and figured that while it needs re-coding, I could fix one up that displays the bud sprite before the bloomed one.--Mister E 13 02:21, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

There is no bloom minisprite. TTEchidna 04:44, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

That's why I made it and, like I said, since it was going to need re-coding, the regular sprites order should be changed to be more logical.--Mister E 13 21:02, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

Made it? What do you mean made it? TTEchidna 21:09, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

Template:Sprite/4/2formes/1mini. I just made it because we currently have Cherrim's page trying to display minisprites for both its forms (one of which doesn't exist). Knowing that this would entail some re-coding of the template, I figured I'd make a new one that shows both regular sprites in a more logical order which would also make said coding easier.--Mister E 13 01:11, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

That's due to the bottom part of the coding. Which I gotta fix. TTEchidna 03:28, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

And when you do that, you will have to set up a new option for the variable "gender" (ie. 2formes1mini) and since that is being done, you can also make it to display that new spritebox design (with the other order). If this is still a bad idea, feel free to remove that one from the list (which is still pretty hefty.)--Mister E 13 20:52, 15 March 2009 (UTC)

Gender? Minisprites don't vary on gender. TTEchidna 21:03, 15 March 2009 (UTC)

Gender is the variable in the sprite template which controls the number of forms (ie.: Arceus coding says "gender=18formes"). A new option for this variable (such as 2formes1mini) will have to be identified to display only one minisprite. While you're doing this, this very same variable could display my new template. Or, if its really a bad idea, just delete it.--Mister E 13 01:22, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

I'll see what I can do. Sprite template's always been the least of my worries, since we don't even have all the sprites yet... TTEchidna 01:38, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

Delete

I have just been informed that my little brother has an inactive account by the name of "Alec99", and since your "Mister Super in Charge Guy," I would be pleased if you should rid of it.--alec9 * - * 12:38, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

Wikis can't get rid of accounts. Just leave it be and don't log in and you're fine. TTEchidna 19:24, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

PalletShipping

Yeah that PalletShipping is a load of bullshitMr.Yellow 23:49, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

Uh... what does that have to do with...

a) this conversation b) anything that shouldn't be on the forums? The Dark Fiddler - Is teh Pedia laggin 4 u 2? 23:51, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

So what's "Shipping" exactly? Mr.Yellow 00:12, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

GEE I DUNNO. WE MIGHT HAVE AN ARTICLE. TTEchidna 00:16, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

Just a last question

Just a last question, did you find any hint?- unsigned comment from Mr.Yellow (talk • contribs)

Dude, I barely watched AG. I've got no idea. TTEchidna 01:20, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

Hi, long time no see. So how can I assist in Platinum updates both before and after release? --Bulbapedian - Talk 20:15, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

I am getting the game on the day it comes out, so it is possible for me to help out early on. --Bulbapedian - Talk 20:17, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

So am I, don't you worry. I'll be able to test new things ASAP. Like Giratina's Origin Forme... I plan to have that tested by that Saturday. TTEchidna 20:19, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

Thanks, be sure to have a thread for it. You can also message me here for more convenient responses. --Bulbapedian - Talk 20:21, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

Hey...

Due to the spading that occured, do we add damage categories for Shadow moves? ^ht 14 21:19, 15 March 2009 (UTC)

I've suggested that to Jioruji Derako (the creator of the new template) he was unsure, however, about the use of the same category names for them.--Mister E 13 21:50, 15 March 2009 (UTC)

Sure. TTEchidna 22:29, 15 March 2009 (UTC)

The template will need some fixing by an admin then.--Mister E 13 00:46, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

All done!--Mister E 13 02:26, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

Pluto...

...is a plutoid. New heading. ^ht 14 06:26, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

Dwarf planet first, plutoid second. TTEchidna 15:28, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

It should be stated then that both are in the article... ^ht 14 20:50, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

On Wikipedia? Well screw that. That'd be like saying that Mars isn't a planet, but a terrestrial planet. Jupiter and Saturn are gas giant planets rather than just planets. It's just a far more specific term, and most people are more familiar with the planet thing. "Plutoid, what the heck is that?" As much as I love astronomy, we're supposed to be the authority on Pokémon... TTEchidna 22:14, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

No. I didn't get it from Wiki. I'm not referring to that...talking about THIS article...but, Pluto is. Plutoid is a new generalization... ^ht 14 01:20, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

Don't make me get out my planet flag. TTEchidna 02:15, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

I won't. There was an official article though that was talking about it. I learned of the demotion about 2 years ago...then last year, they came up with a new name... ^ht 14 02:19, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

They demoted it immediately to dwarf planet, alongside Eris. TTEchidna 02:32, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

Really? That's news. ^ht 14 03:12, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

Yep. Then Ceres and Makemake joined them. Then Haumea came along. TTEchidna 03:17, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

So what happened to the name plutoid? Did it just...disappear? ^ht 14 03:18, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

Specific type of body that's like Pluto in orbit and other characteristics. Like terrestrial planet. Similar to the Earth in characteristics. TTEchidna 03:25, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

Got it. So now the term can't be used on Pluto, but only on those that are Pluto-like, correct? Or is the word obsolete now? ^ht 14 03:28, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

Pluto's as much a plutoid as Earth is a terrestrial planet. It's just that the supercategories of planet and dwarf planet mean more. TTEchidna 03:31, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

Question...

Pages...can only the user know which ones are watched, or can admins see that? ^ht 14 04:23, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

Well there's likely some way we could by going into the database, but from what I can see, it's not accessible from outside sources via strict wikicode. TTEchidna 04:36, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

TCG (game)

I haven't noticed any standards set in place for the TCG video game, yet. I'm curious to know what jurisdiction it falls under seeing as it's a video game of the card game (just to avoid conflict and confusion). Personally, I think it should be primarily considered a video game, and the TCG part should be secondary and merely referential. TCGdex has it's own section, and direct intervention of the actual TCG ruins the cohesion and integrity of the articles specific to the video game.

Also, I recently uploaded a complete collection of the TCG1 card sprites, and I'm slowly updating the info relevant info little by little. How do I go about making templates for the sprites so I only have to put in a compressed code? Thanks. Kusanagi87 13:50, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

Spotless Gen III Spinda?

Here, for Spinda's Gen IV sprites, we use the ones that were programmed into the game (for an impossible personnality value of 0) and serve as placeholders. I thought it might be interesting to manually remove the spots from a Gen III Spinda's face. Although I know that it is technically fan-made, we could perhaps use this as Spinda's Gen III sprite. File:Spinda.png--Mister E 13 18:41, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

I'm always against any fan-mades. If it was an anime Pokémon, we could use a fan-made sprite, but in the case of games, we use only official sprites. I think TTEchidna will agree with me. --Maxim 19:06, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

I'm sure it'd be possible to just rip it straight out a rom.. if there's one anywhere around.. Gywall Talk 19:24, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

I don't think spotless here was programmed into Gen III (although it is in Gen IV) which is why I made it.--Mister E 13 19:26, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

Going through the ROM for Emerald, I uncovered the sprite.. Un-animated, but it contains no spots: File:Spindaraw.png Gywall Talk 19:35, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

That's what we should have. Heck, if you took the current one we've got and took off the spots, it'd be good. Just make the background transparent, please. Also, a PV of 0 isn't impossible, it's just as unlikely as a PV of 69,248,298. TTEchidna 20:38, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

Emerald animated might be tricky.--Mister E 13 01:35, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

Not really. It just bounces around. Doesn't even have two frames that I can see. TTEchidna 01:39, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

Hey...

Is this ok? Besides the spacing thing anyway... ^ht 14 23:12, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

Aside from you not changing the type on the footer to Fighting, yes. TTEchidna 23:13, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

Pluto/Charon

Since the page is locked, a few changes need to be made. The first sentence doesn't list his Japanese name like all other character articles. Also, the trivia you added today, should that be a little more specific? Pluto is now called a dwarf planet (as stupid as that it). --Hoenn Master 01:46, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

Blahhhh. People will be making a billion edits come the 22nd. Gimme a freaking sec. TTEchidna 01:48, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

LOL, thanks. --Hoenn Master 10:37, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

Disney sucks. TTEchidna 17:09, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

True. It's too bad, I like the name Pluto. At least they didn't name him Nix or Hydra. :)

His pets. TTEchidna 02:14, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

Block me

Lol, I forgot all about this old account. Good times, good times. -- ░ Ph34r(The Real Deal) ░ 00:32, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

The News

Sorry to disturb you but in the lastest update to the Bulbanews section it is mentioned that Piplup uses an everstone to stay in its base forn. Shouldn't it be mentioned in Piplup's page. Otherwise we caqnt list it in the Bulbanews. --Prongs 10:16, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
