::<small>(edit conflict)</small>I somewhat expected ''someone'' to go nuts about this... The editorial board had apparently discussed and decided that 1) glitch types are not notable to have their own pages and 2) glitch Pokémon available only via use of GameShark are not notable to be mentioned at all (see [[User:UltimateSephiroth/Evacuated glitch Pokémon articles]] for the saved data, which I will process later into a single page). I agree that while I find glitches very interesting, this is a '''Pokémon''' wiki, not a '''glitch Pokémon''' wiki. Also, cool down. <font color="#3fff00">'''UltimateSephiroth'''</font> <sup>([[User:UltimateSephiroth|<font color="#3f7f00">about me</font>]] · [[User talk:UltimateSephiroth|<font color="#3f7f00">chat</font>]] · [[Special:Contributions/UltimateSephiroth|edits]])</sup> 12:51, 1 November 2009 (UTC)

:::Alright, I agree with the Gameshark-only Generation I Glitch Pokémon not being notable.  That was actually my stance from the start, really.  OK.  I'm sorry, I'll cool down.  [[User:Missingno.

::::The current direction of the encyclopedia, Missingno. Master, is to build higher quality articles about each topic. By putting all the glitch types on the same page we're getting a better article with a wider scope. Look at each section. There is one sentence, a box that says it takes normal damage and gives normal damage, and one or two glitch Pokémon with that type. I'm sure you'll agree that one full article is better than fifty tiny sucky articles that need cleanup and expansion and God knows what. And to be frank, the glitch section of the encyclopedia does suck at the moment. We're cleaning it up. If you can help, that'd be great. &mdash;'''<span style="font-family:Verdana"><span style="color:#000">darklord</span>[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|<span style="color:#0047AB">trom</span>]]</span>''' 05:57, 2 November 2009 (UTC)
