Welcome

Welcome to Bulbapedia, ArceusEX!

As a new user, you may wish to learn a few things that will be useful in your editing:

  • For a basic overview of wiki code, see this page.
  • Read over the style primer before making your edits. It is a basic outline of Bulbapedia style. For a more in-depth set of rules, see the manual of style.
  • Keep an eye on the Messages from the Editor on the main page, to stay informed on current events on Bulbapedia.
  • The word Pokémon is spelled with a capital P and an accented é. The é can be accessed by holding Alt and typing either 130 or 0233 on a Windows computer, and by using Option + e, then e again on a Mac. Otherwise, you can easily click it in the character palette below the editbox.
  • The word Poké Ball is spelled as two words. The "Poké" part is identical to the four beginning letters in "Pokémon"; "Ball" is spelled with a capital B. The spelling "Pokéball" arises frequently, but is incorrect.
  • The word "you" and all forms of it should not be used on encyclopedic pages unless it is a quote from Pokémon or other media. Bulbapedia is an encyclopedia, not a walkthrough.
  • On talk pages, please sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).
  • The use of link templates is official policy.
  • If you happen to spot a vandal in the recent changes that has not been dealt with, please see this page for how to deal with it.
  • A list of pages that are linked to, but have not been created, can be found at this page. A list of short articles that may require more information can be found here, while a list of articles that need improvement can be found here.
  • For a future capture, release, trade, or evolution of a Pokémon belonging to a main character of the anime, please do not create or move the page to reflect your suspicions, even if they are shared by many others. Policy here is to wait until the episode in which the event happens takes place is aired, unless there is substantial evidence for the suspicion (such as Brock's Happiny being held in his arms).
  • Image uploading is done on Bulbagarden Archives, a separate wiki accessible through the toolbox in the sidebar. This is done so that both Bulbapedia and Bulbanews have access to the images uploaded. To activate your account at the Archives and Bulbanews, please login there using the same username and password you use here on Bulbapedia.
  • If you want to make a page about a character you made up, please create it at User:ArceusEX/(name), not merely (name). Bulbapedia's main namespace is reserved for actual, official Pokémon, items, characters, and locations. Also, please try to make sure that subpages are not categorized by templates used within.
  • Having said this, please make sure that you do contribute adequately to the main namespace. Bulbapedia is not MySpace or Facebook.
  • There are certain restrictions on the content and amount of userspace content a user is allowed. For details, see the Userspace policy
  • Unless prior permission is given, no user is permitted to edit another user's page. Furthermore, edits to other users' pages are permitted only if there are problems that spread to other parts of Bulbapedia, such as broken links that appear on the wanted pages, switching out duplicate images that appear on the Archives, etc.
  • Fan fictions, missions, riddles, games, and anything else deemed not suitable for the wiki will not be allowed. If you would like to add something, but do not know if it is acceptable, ask an administrator.
  • A list of administrators that you can contact in case of a problem can be found here.

Thank you, and have a good time editing here! --Shiningpikablu252 20:41, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

thank you---ArceusEX

Rotom

The stuff u r putting is better suited for a Userspace subpage--KukiTalk 21:30, 23 October 2008 (UTC]

please let it be on there---User:ArceusEX

No! It takes up too much. Take TTEchidna for example--KukiTalk 21:32, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

then where can i put it---User:ArceusEX

I told U Then go here User:ArceusEX/Rotom's Status. Start ur page there--KukiTalk 21:34, 23 October 2008 (UTC)


thank you.Will you sign it User:ArceusEX/Rotom's Status please ---User:ArceusEX

thank you.ArceusEX 19:45, 24 October 2008 (UTC)User:ArceusEX

Talk Page Comments

Please don't erase talk page comments for no reason. Trust me, you do NOT want to end up like Big Johnno, who got into an edit war with a sysop over comments the former had erased and was trying to keep erased. That user ended up blocked and subsequently had every erased comment restored.
The comment you erased is Shiningpikablu252's comment here. --Chocolate 21:57, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

then do comments on the comment section.ArceusEX[User:ArceusEX]]

...Hell, don't edit other's comments either. It's basically the same as erasing them, as both remove the original user's intention when posting their comment. Θρtιmαtum♏Talk|Links 05:45, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

Signing

Hey, sign your name with four tides: ~~~~. That's the proper way.--Tavisource 23:59, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

Please

Slow down on editing the User: namespace. Editing your userpage too much will lead to it being locked again. Instead of making multiple small edits, why not instead use the preview button (Alt + Shift + P) to check your edits before saving the page? Thank you. Gligar 19:51, 24 October 2008 (UTC)

Why have you gotten this? The limit of editing userpages and subpages is 3 a day, and you have surpassed that limit. Gligar 19:52, 24 October 2008 (UTC)

Page Recreation

Please don't go recreating pages that were deleted as being outright pointless. You don't need to create polls for absoultely everything, and asking people whether a new type should be created for Arceus is a stupid question. I do not want to see the page "User:ArceusEX/Arceus's Status" in blue again, or else you'll be on the outside looking in quite fast. --Shiningpikablu252 19:52, 24 October 2008 (UTC)

Tone of Voice

It's never a good idea to tell a sysop to "shut up", be it once or repeatedly, nor is it a good idea to change your userpage to be primarily hate messages targeted at a sysop. Such behavior leads to a block every time. Please learn to control your temper and learn to say stuff in a positive fashion, lest you want to find yourself on the outside looking in forever...--Shiningpikablu252 20:04, 24 October 2008 (UTC)

Hate Messages lead to Hate Pages, Hate Projects, Love, Lust, Loss, Anger, and then the DArkside.Dont do it.--DCM((Nag at Me!Edits))

HEY!

WTF is this??!!!! - unsigned comment from Pokemaniac102 (talkcontribs)

He's Banned.And he just made the assumption from the Rotom talk page--DCM((Nag at Me!Edits))


oh why are you banned. i was your friend- unsigned comment from Timer (talkcontribs)

Excuse me

  The Golden Slowpoke Award

Congratulations! For making some of the best contributions to Bulbapedia you have been awarded the Golden Slowpoke Award for February, 2024 by BulbaBot!

Slowpoke, the Dopey Pokémon, are known for being slow, and having an extremely dim intellect.


Please be aware that this award is a joke and in no way reflects your actual mental capacity, but try and make better contributions in the future.

BulbaBot 06:44, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

it. I wanted that award!DCM((曲奇饼妖怪Spy on My Edits))
Just go and try to create the needed pages if you really want that award.-Billy4b2004 11:44, 2 December 2008 (UTC)


yay a award- unsigned comment from ArceusEX (talkcontribs)

...You do realize that the Golden Slowpoke Award is a bad thing, right?--The Kkllnnator サンタクロース 20:53, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

go to here

when im in trouble tell me here - unsigned comment from ArceusEX (talkcontribs)

Your talk page is where people will talk to you. You have no reason to make subpages for such trivial things. Also, there is no need to make announcements such as that on your talk page. -Sketch 20:55, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

Please

Slow down on editing the User: namespace. There are only three userspace edits allowed per day, and you have gone over the limit. Editing your userpage too much will lead to it being locked again. Instead of making multiple small edits, why not instead use the preview button (Alt + Shift + P) to check your edits before saving the page? Thank you. ----The Kkllnnator サンタクロース 21:13, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

yes 3 people said that ArceusEX 21:14, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
Well, just make sure to only make 3 edits per day. Also, indent your comments, please. Chocolate (Merry Christmas!) 21:15 12/16/2008
okay ArceusEX 21:19, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
Okay, here's a brief explanation
  1. When indenting comments, you don't have to press Enter. The computer automatically puts it on a new line.
  2. When indenting, put one more indent than the person who commented before. However, you may reset the indent if there are a crazy high amount of them, or if you are going to stray away from the topic.--The Kkllnnator サンタクロース 21:24, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

Excuse me...

May I know what you were attempting to achieve with your edits on Talk:Arceus (Pokémon)?--The Kkllnnator サンタクロース 20:59, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

no you wont know rotom non legendary believer ArceusEX 21:00, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

Then what about the even more meaningless ones on Talk:Rotom (Pokémon)?--The Kkllnnator サンタクロース 21:14, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

Knock it off

Stop putting that thing at the top of Rotom's talk page. It's consider vandalism. Do it again, and you'll be blocked. --ケンジガール 21:14, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, nice that you both directly copied that from my userpage (I divided the "messages" word yesterday, but it was before that the way you used it) AND use it as a tool for vandalism. Not that I'd be the first to use a div with usermessage class, but the links and the tt template you used are exactly the same ones I made up. You can use it, but stop putting it to places it doesn't belong to. UltimateSephiroth (about me · chat · edits) 21:16, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

Pssssssst

Why am I a noob? Does it have to do with your sockpuppet?DCM((曲奇饼妖怪Spy on My Edits))

You know...

You should be blocked for personally attacking DCM, calling him a "noob". For some reason, you haven't been blocked yet. Even though you've been a douchébag ever since you clicked that "Sign up" button. Θρtιmαtum♏Talk|Links 01:58, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

You can be banned for that? And I was once banned by I think Geo for calling Max a DoucheDCM((曲奇饼妖怪Spy on My Edits))
Hello? I GOT BLOCKED FOR THAT. Θρtιmαtum♏Talk|Links 11:39, 18 December 2008 (UTC)
*virtual high five*DCM((曲奇饼妖怪Spy on My Edits)) 21:47, 18 December 2008 (UTC)
Naw, checked your block log. It was PTD666. Plus, you were banned like eleventy billion^infinite other times.--The Kkllnnator サンタクロース 21:54, 18 December 2008 (UTC)
Yeah but i had myself banned those times. To kill Oakleaf KNightDCM((曲奇饼妖怪Spy on My Edits))

Please stop

  1. The trivia you are adding has already been noted on Dratini's page.
  2. It doesn't even apply to Dragonair, so it doesn't belong on that page at all.

Please stop adding it to the pages. Thanks.  — Laoris (Blah) 21:10, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

were it it putArceusEX 21:10, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

Press ctrl+f, then type this:
Also, In its Generation III sprites its body is incorrectly colored purple, this was later corrected in its Diamond and Pearl sprites.
K?--The Kkllnnator サンタクロース 21:14, 18 December 2008 (UTC)
the evelouton dragonair is not purple im not TALKING aBOUT DP.ArceusEX 21:15, 18 December 2008 (UTC)
If Dratini has an error in Gen III and Dragonair didn't have it in Gen III, who cares? UltimateSephiroth (about me · chat · edits) 21:17, 18 December 2008 (UTC)
If Dragonair isn't purple, then it's not worth noting and/or putting it on its page.--The Kkllnnator サンタクロース 21:18, 18 December 2008 (UTC)
