I don't understand why the titles of games (among other things) aren't italicized on Bulbapedia. According to the Chicago Manual of Style (which is roughly what is used on most Wikis), like movies, the name or title of a game should be italicized, eg. "''[[Pokémon Yellow]]''" (See: [http://www.chicagomanualofstyle.org/qanda/data/faq/topics/InternetWebandOtherPost-WatergateConcerns/faq0008.html The Chicago Manual of Style Online: Internet, Web, and Other Post-Watergate Concerns]). This also extends to the titles as displayed in Heading 1 of their articles. [[User:DKqwerty|DKqwerty]] ([[User talk:DKqwerty|talk]]) 16:15, 18 March 2016 (UTC)

== Edits in advance ==
Is there any rule as to how far beforehand certain info can be added? For instance, with the newly announced Pokémon Generations series, would one be free to go ahead and update character articles with "[CHARACTER] will make an appearance in Pokémon Generations, they are seen in the trailer doing this..."?
