:Well, I'm currently sitting on updates to all necessary Pokemon pages (except Darumaka/Darmanitan, whose status quo I'm not satisfied with). Whenever you can update Setup and Formes, I'll be able commit the changes to make them show artwork. (So long as it's within the next two or three hours, anyways...)

Now that we have that out of the way, have the Mega Pokémon sprites been uploaded yet? I notice a lot of the articles that feature Mega Pokémon are using the Pokémon's normal sprite. Or is this one of those template things that have yet to be figured out/put into effect?

:Thanks! :) unfortunately, the bad news is we don't have the files yet. Our source for the regular menu sprites didn't have the Mega Evolution ones. Due to this, we'll have to make due with the plain ones until we have a source that can offer them to us freely. Sorry bout that! As soon as we can get em, you'll see them :) [[Special:Contributions/Zesty Cactus|--]][[User:Zesty Cactus|<span style="color:#006400">'''Zesty'''</span>]][[User talk:Zesty Cactus|<span style="color:#3CB371">'''Cactus'''</span>]] 01:06, 6 March 2014 (UTC) | |||
::No worries, its not your guy's fault and I understand. I hope we get those files soon, I could help by maybe copying them in MS paint lol but I doubt that would be suitable. Plus getting the exact colors would be near impossible. Well cheers and good luck with your new position. [[User:Yamitora1|Yamitora1]] ([[User talk:Yamitora1|talk]]) 02:06, 6 March 2014 (UTC) | |||

==Legendary Pokémon: The Essential Guide - Sinnoh Edition== | |||
Hey! I was recently on [[Legendary Pokémon: The Essential Guide - Sinnoh Edition|this page]]. I don't have this book, but I found that the entries are sort of dodgy. I had a look around and found this http://www.amazon.co.uk/Legendary-Pokemon-Essential-Edition-Pok%C3%A9mon/dp/0545160235#reader_0545160235. The entries here in the preview are very different to the ones on the page. It's only a preview, but I'm doubtful that the entries on the page are entirely correct. --[[User:Wowy|<span style="color:#ED9121">'''Wowy'''</span>]][[User talk:Wowy|<sub style="color:#LL0000;">'''(Talk)'''</sub>]] 09:51, 18 March 2014 (UTC) | |||
:Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I'll be able to take a better look into it tomorrow then go from there :).

== Engllish versions == | |||
If an online version of a manga has English text but the covers are in Japanese, does it count as an official English version? [[User:Pattyman|<span style="color:orange">Patty</span>]][[User talk:Pattyman|<span style="color:orange">Man</span>]] 05:19, 2 April 2014 (UTC) | |||
:Unless it's from a bonafide official online source such as the Perfect Square app, I would err on the side of "not official" unless you can be 100% certain that it's real.

::Sites containing scans are not official? [[User:Pattyman|<span style="color:orange">Patty</span>]][[User talk:Pattyman|<span style="color:orange">Man</span>]] 23:54, 2 April 2014 (UTC) | |||
:::Well you're being really vague to be honest so I may have misunderstood your question. I am assuming that by "online versions of manga" you are referring to images hosted on blogs, fan sites and other third party sources, considering that I doubt VIZ Media's official app would show the Japanese cover artwork (and Chuang Yi didn't have Pokémon manga on their online service when they were still in business IIRC). In cases like this, with third party fan sites, the uploader may have scanned pages from the official translation...or they may have posted a fan translation, which seems likely if they used the Japanese cover (not guaranteed, but likely). When it's not an official source like Perfect Square/VIZ Media or Chuang Yi...how are you supposed to know? That's why I'd prefer to err on the side of caution. So, yes, non-official sites are generally not official...just like how we only report game/anime information when it's been confirmed by an official source, not another fan site. I take a lot of personal pride in the fact that Bulbapedia has one of the most comprehensive coverage of Pokémon manga on the internet and I'd hate to include potentially wrong information from a fan translation by mistake. So basically I would take anything with a grain of salt unless I have the actual volume in my hands (or viewing it through the official app) since those are the only official ways to get the manga.

== Questions == | |||
I've got two questions concerning the Adventures chapter pages. 1. The ''DP''-chapter page contains a note that the page lacks the rounds' names, but the other pages do not. Are the names to be used on the pages at some point? 2. Could the ''Important events''- sections (or some part of the pages) contain a link to the Adventures timeline page? It would be fitting. [[User: Ariano|Արիանո]] 19:42, 2 April 2014 (UTC) | |||
:Regarding the incomplete notice, I've removed it since none of the chapter articles use round names for lists like that, nor do similar lists for the anime. So the current state of the article is fine as it is consistent with others. As for your second point, sounds like a fine idea to me. I'm always up for linking to other pages more frequently and I believe the anime articles provide similar links to the anime timeline page.
