Welcome

Welcome to Bulbapedia, SuperiorPimpachu!

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:SuperiorPimpachu/(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! --Tavisource 04:54, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

Episode articles

Do not create them without any confirmation of the episode. --ケンジガール 05:33, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

Also, Misty is rumored to appear? By whom? Overzealous Misty fantards who rumor her to appear in every episode not yet announced? TTEchidna 05:51, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

Dude..

Don't edit other peoples pages!--David Aipom (Speaks To Me):] 18:22, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

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. --RexRacer -talk 18:31, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

you remove those comments one more time, and you will be blocked for a period of time. -- MAGNEDETH 18:36, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

Why?

Why are you being mean to me? Plz explain.- unsigned comment from SuperiorPimpachu (talkcontribs)

1. Because it's not right to erase Talkpage comments. 2. Your name isn't appropriate.--KukiTalk 18:39, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

How is my name inappropriate?.- unsigned comment from SuperiorPimpachu (talkcontribs)

it is true. your name be viable for review, but your name alone is not why people are being mean to you. removing talk page comments is against the rules. also, please sign your comments. -- MAGNEDETH 18:43, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

PIMPachu? U kidding me??--KukiTalk 18:42, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

and you shouldnt edit others userpages, maybe weedle wanted no page--David Aipom (Speaks To Me):] 18:42, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

I guess because it has the word 'Pimp' in it. I don't think that Kuki was right to say that. If your name was innapropriate then you would have been immediately blocked. We aren't passive aggressive like that.--RexRacer -talk 18:43, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

Ok can we plz forget about this? Let's just start over.- unsigned comment from SuperiorPimpachu (talkcontribs)

Sign your comments with~~~~--David Aipom (Speaks To Me):] 18:47, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

Ok. Sry. But plz can we plz just start over with all this?SuperiorPimpachu 18:48, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

sure. but i would suggest reading the Manual of Style before editing further. -- MAGNEDETH 18:48, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

As it says in the welcome section--KukiTalk 18:51, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

Thank you. SuperiorPimpachu 18:50, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

Enjoy editing here!David Aipom (Speaks To Me):] 18:51, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

Correction Thomas, It's have a good time editing here (quoting the welcome template)--KukiTalk 18:52, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

Thanks Sandler, almost put sandle XD--David Aipom (Speaks To Me):] 18:59, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

To clear the name thing entirely; Pimp IS NOT an offensive or inappropriate word. If his name was something like "Fuckachu" or something. Then yes, it would blocked or changed. -Sketch 19:18, 25 October 2008 (UTC)


News

Episode DP104 (Cresselia VS Darkrai!) confirmed via PokeAni. It is scheduled to air in Japan on November 27, 2008. This will be Cresselia's first anime appearence, and Darkrai's first appearence in an episode, not a movie. It is also said it may be a one-hour special with DP105, but that is unconfirmed. SuperiorPimpachu 21:03, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

NOTE I ERASED DARKRAI FROM THE DEBUTS SECTION ON DP104 BECAUSE DARKRAI IS NOT MAKING A DEBUT. IT IS MAKING A SECOND APPEARENCE. SuperiorPimpachu 21:03, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

  • It's its first appearance in the anime series. We know it was in a movie but this is the first time it was in the anime series. --ケンジガール 21:00, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

Oh, ok I didn't know that the movies didn't count as the anime. SuperiorPimpachu 21:03, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

They count as the anime, we just consider openings, endings, the anime, and the movies as separate debuts for some reason. TTEchidna 00:38, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

NEWS AS OF NOV.4. Even though Bulbapedia already realeased this news, I have checked my second main source (Pokebeach) for Anime updates. Byron will appear in the Anime. After the other five gym leaders already appeared, this upcoming episode might have Ash battling Byron.

DP109 Title Realeased. NEW CHARACTER: PLUTO. (Main Scientist in Pokemon Platinum).

NEWS AS OF NOV.15. New TCG Set confirmed. Bonds to the end of time. It is a Gym Leader/Elite Four set, possibly a 10 year anniversary set of the Gym Heroes/Gym Challege sets. It will feature the 30-Card theme decks Infernape VS Gallade. They might be Lv.X and it might be Internape E4 and Gallade E4. SuperiorPimpachu 22:09, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

User tags

Alright, it says on your userpage that you don't know how to make the special things such as "This user is a player of Pokemon Red", right? They're called user tags, and you gotta look for them, there's a ton of them. What you do is, say you want to do the Pokemon Red thing. Simply place {{User Red}} on your user page, and it'll come out as User Red Hope I helped! - unsigned comment from Missingno. Master (talkcontribs) 21:05, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

Thanks Missingno. SuperiorPimpachu 21:07, 1 November 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 Dark Fiddler - Smarter than the average bear! 21:22, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

Ok sorry I didn't know you could do that :( SuperiorPimpachu 21:25, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, limit's 3 per day. The Dark Fiddler - Smarter than the average bear! 21:26, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
I blame myself for this somewhat. I feel that when I told him about user tags above this section, that I should've mentioned the 3-edit-per-day rule... - unsigned comment from Missingno. Master (talkcontribs) 00:09, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

No no no It's my fault I didn't know. btw you should sign your comments with four tildes. (~). SuperiorPimpachu

I do. I just edited my sig to look like the unsigned comment message. - unsigned comment from Missingno. Master (talkcontribs) 01:08, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
