A group of friends and I have been doing intense work on a tabletop pokemon game. It is going to be a complete game with a bestiary (pokedex), class options and paragon paths (trainer classes/advanced classes), a completely translated Move list, Ability list and well it's taking a very long time to do this project. About 9 months so far and we aren't stopping till we're done. Here's the thing that tangentially relates to you and your position at bulbapedia. The bestiary contains 493 entries. It's probably the hardest part of this entire endeavor. The entires include Move lists, evolution methods, pics, habitats, capabilities and biology. We NEED to do biology entries for each pokemon, but we'd rather not. I am humbly and bluntly asking you for permission to plagiarize bulbapedia's biology entries. It won't be word-for-word since that'd make the book to large, but it'd basically be the same sentences simplified. For more information, see [http://1d4chan.org/wiki/Pokemon_Tabletop_Adventures]. It will eventually be released as a bunch of free pdfs all over the internet and if we are allowed to use bulbapedia's entries here and there, you'll be sure we'll include our thanks and bulbapedia itself as a major contributor and source. {{u|DrMrStark}} 2 PM, SEP 21 2009 | A group of friends and I have been doing intense work on a tabletop pokemon game.

::License? HA! We're putting this game on the internet. FOR FREE. We aren't attaching anything but our screen names/handles to the project. Licensing isn't even a thing we were considering. The only reason I'm asking for permission at all is that I don't want a s***storm later from Bulbapedia, even though we won't be making a penny off it, because I respect you folks and your finely put together pokemon wiki. As fans of pokemon, we wouldn't want to erroneously irritate the pokecommunity. Sorry for not being more clear earlier. {{u|DrMrStark}} 10 PM, SEP 22 2009 | |||
