Okay everybody. ONE! If there's a vandal, don't talkpage it! IM it! You should know who the admins are. Get their AIM, MSN, ICQ, Yahoo!, whatever! TWO! Try to bring up discussions on template and other talk pages, don't come to me immediately. THREE! I'd like this to last at least three months... You notice the ever-growing list of archives up there, don't you? Let's make it grow slower. Please? Thanks. TTEchidna
HEY EVERYONE! I'm looking for anyone who can do a good Ash or Dawn voice. Details? AIM me. It's at the bottom of my userpage. Don't have AIM? Get it. Don't wanna? Too bad.
And yes, it may have something to do with what I put on YouTube recently... TTEchidna
About the Misty article...
Due to recent events (I.e. SteelBastille's vandalization) I think we may need to put it in protect mode for the time being. I mean, if you haven't noticed, he has been editing messages and implementing them with extremely inappropriate, leud pornographic sentences. And believe me, that's far more serious than the previous two times that we had to initiate protection mode for this article. ~~Weedle_McHairybug~~
A favor...?
Would you mind editing Template:Spr so it links directly to the games instead of the redirects? It's really bugging me... -ニョロトノ666 17:02, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
- Also, I recently reverted several edits that were based on speculation surrounding the titles of several upcoming episodes. One suggested that Ash's Pikachu may even evolve in DP074. I'm confident that it won't, and I believe such blatant fan speculation has no place here, but some users insist that it be kept. Your opinion? -ニョロトノ666 17:27, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
- Never mind, TTE. Fabu-Vinny took care of it. I'll ask him about Template:Spr, too. Thanks anyway! -ニョロトノ666 17:50, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
- Well, I dunno what they tried to do to take care of the problem with Template:Spr, but it didn't work. -ニョロトノ666 20:28, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
- Speaking of link templates, is it possible to get Template:V to link as "Pokémon {{{1}}} Version" instead of just "Pokémon {{{1}}}"? I created its variant templates based on such an assumtpion.
- And as for fixing up Template:Spr, I'm thinking we replace the instances of Template:pkmn in it with Template:v2 for singulars and Template:2v2 for plurals. --Shiningpikablu252 22:45, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
- Make sure the v template's not linked anywhere where it'd screw something up (like, say, make it Pokémon breeding version or something)... after that, I'll get right on it. TTEchidna 08:57, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
- Okay, I did. And it's fixed. I just hope they remake Gold and Silver Versions. TTEchidna 09:02, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

TCG Set Infobox (Updated)
Hi again, I've updated the infobox to include Energy symbols, see what you think. If you like those, I'd suggest a Template:ES for small versions of Energy symbols (otherwise I can add more code to the infobox, but that'd be more clutter than usefulness). Double Dash 19:22, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
Nag, nag, nag...
- Veekun has footprint sprites, but I've haven't asked for permission yet, but I'd thought I'd let you know
- Can we get somehow the names of the playable trainer classes for Pokémon Battrio? I thought I'd add them to the article
- And finally, has someone talked to Safari about using their trainer mugshots for XD and Colosseum yet? --Manga-in-a-bottle 02:45, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
- I do believe we're affiliated with Veekun. After all, we use Filb's MSes and animated MSes; we're affiliated with them. Plus, as quoted from the page: "The sprites are not mine in any way; Nintendo created them, not me. If you want to credit me for collecting or ripping them, that's cool; if not, that's cool too, since you can find these all over the Internet anyway."
- Don't have any clue how we'd go about that.
- No idea. Wanna?
- That's all. TTEchidna 03:13, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
- Yippie!!
- Well, Pokésho has some fan-made icons here (at the bottom). I just need someone to translate them.
- Uh... I don't speak Spanish... ^^; --Manga-in-a-bottle 10:24, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
TCG
Uh, I think there are too many TCG articles and many are stubs. Do you think we can have one article each about one Pokémon's TCG cards?PokeManiac102 03:15, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
- Good Nite. I expect feedback tomorrow. You never answer my questions nowadays. Btw, what is your Aim anyway?PokeManiac102 03:25, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
- One article for each individual card is necessary. We don't combine the articles for Caterpie and Metapod into Butterfree even if the first two are essentially useless. The only card articles that get combined are reprints or near-reprints. A wiki is constantly expanding. Why contract it? That'd be like saying "Screw Jupiter's moons, all can go under Jupiter". There are only so many TCG articles because there are so many cards. One could say the same about there being too many articles on Ash's Pokémon, too many articles on anime episodes. How often did we see Primeape, and how much is it seen anymore? Four episodes, ten years ago. Notable? You bet your ass it is. Individual cards get individual articles, just like individual Pokémon do. Especially since a card named Pikachu has been printed in nearly every set.
- I'm not an instant answerer, you know. I make edits other than my talk page, otherwise I'd never beat BulbaBot. And my AIM is on my page. Scroll it down, you'll find it. TTEchidna 03:33, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

Main Space
this may be a long shot, but, is there any way to make a rule about some users abusing the site? and by abusing, i mean little to no main space edits. im not really picking on anyone in particular, ive seen more than one user doing this, and with people getting rid of user pages and the like to help the server load, it sort of seems like a waste not to do somthing about users who take advantage of the site. im not against personal pages and stuff, but, some people seem to join the site for that sole purpose, and i think thats wrong. MAGNEDETH 15:31, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
- A rule, sure we could make one... I'd take it to the Bulbapedia forum, though, see what people think. TTEchidna 21:23, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

- but the forums and the pedia are not equals, as in, this is not a/the forum. i figured it would be an admin/Zhen Lin sort of thing. and it is to say that the majority of people to understand the problem would be pedians. granted, both of these ideas are hindered by the offenders waltzing in and making their arguments and vote the idea down.

Moves Used
I was starting to go around to make the "moves used" by trainer's Pokemon alphabetical (So far I only did Gligar and Piplup). For example:
- X-Scissor→Sand-Attack
- Steel Wing→Steel Wing
- Sand-Attack→X-Scissor
But I think I noticed something...are they in order of first move used to last move used? Porygon-Z 00:33, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
Conflicting Statements?

a:Image:Reverseworldclouds.png~View of the two along with the poisonous dark clouds that appeared after Movie 10.
Now, Many times in the video of the reverse world appeared bubbles. I think that these are like portals between the Pokémon and Reverse worlds. Do you know?

TTEchidna, I can't edit my Userpage. PM2 says that it could be a bug or I had my rights taken away by editing it too much. Should I start editing to the main space? AKgirl04:53, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
- Nononononononono. You didn't have any user rights taken away. It's a test we're conducting on the server... Should be resolved soon. Don't put anything you would otherwise put on your userpage in the main namespace. That'll just exacerbate the problem. TTEchidna 04:56, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

- May I ask when I became PM2? Glinn 05:07, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
- well, i asked how the test was going, and you told me to ask you tomorrow (yesterday) so im asking. if im not mistaken, you said the test was to test the stress that User page edits put on the server. that being said, and maybe its just me, but it seems like the server is running a bit better. i also cant help but feel the test was a deterrent from people making 100% User page edits, but, i support that. MAGNEDETH 23:28, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
- I've noticed that as well. Zhen's the final say, though. If possible we could restrict User: namespace edits to maybe ten per day per person. TTEchidna 00:08, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
- ironically, as soon as i posted that, it seems like the server slowed down considerably, leaving me to still lean twards my theroy of the server slowdown; ie: overuse. but regardless, i think a restriction to 10 (or so) namespace edits per day sounds like a good idea.

HOWEVER, id like to add that even with a legendaries breeding code, the code is only supposed to work with a ditto, so this could be over within the first minute of the experiment. in which case, i probibly wont bother taking any pics. if thats the case, youre going to have to take my word for it, which in the name of factoral evidence, i assure you, no bull.

1. Breed Uxie with a Beautifly (press L R before it hatches)
- not possible. FAILURE.
there is no code i could find to allow this. the only legendary breeding code i found was for Ditto only. i did try that code, but, obviously, nothing happened. i didnt take any pictures because thats pretty self-explanitory. that being said, unless somone can find me a code to allow legendaries to breed with anything BUT a Ditto, this myth is BUSTED.

How do you become an admin?
AKgirl23:49, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

- not just edits. theres also the fact that you must have tons of responsibility, maturity, and knoledge. theres also the fact that admins are generally well known among a community, like TTE and SPB252. theyve been here a while and they know how things work. think of it as a promotion to a job. youve worked hard as an employee, and over time, the boss sees you as a hard worker, and you get a promotion.

Pokemaniac102
This user is insistent on having a:Image:Pokemaniac102.png on Bulbapedia redirect to his user page on the basis that "another page does it" and that "I don't think anyone would like to view the specifics", even after I had deleted the redirect once before. I suggested that he use an imagelink template instead, but it appears he doesn't want to do it. I even asked for the identity of the "other page that does it" and he gave me nothing. On top of that, it appears he's using the 90×90 image in question in his signature, which I'm positive is beyond legal boundaries for signature images. Apparently I can't convince him alone, so I need help. Can you help? --Shiningpikablu252 23:02, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

Trade Possibility
Um, Hi, I just saw that you had a few shinies, and i was wondering if you would be interested in a trade? I have a shiny Carvahana Lv. 30ish (nonhacked) and a shiny Deoxys (unknown, I got it from a friend, the name goes funky when I transfer, so?...). Please respond on my talk, because I can't access yours from my normal computer. -Theininen 22:08, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
Question+Question
Alright, first one first. There's a lot of users with images in their signatures; short of leaving every one of them a personal message, I don't see a good way to inform users at the moment. Can you or Zhen Lin perhaps make a policy page for the signature policy, so there's something I can refer people to? I'd do it myself if I knew how you handle policy pages here a little better, but as it is, I wouldn't know where to put it (edicts? guidelines? and so on).
On that note, with a good policy page up, I know a bit of coding; I can set up the SiteNotice to display a mention of the policy to users, with your permission. I think I know a code that even lets users dismiss the notice, so they don't have to see it up there all the time.
Second question. You have a nifty little trades section up there at the top of your page... I've got TM71 (Stone Edge) I believe, and I'm in need of an Earthquake. Do you have MSN messenger or something of the sort? I'd love to get a trade going, if we can just sync up. I also need Ryperior (sp?) in my PokéDex, so if you can get it in my 'Dex, I'd happily trade over my Protector to assist with the process (I don't really have a use for the Pokémon itself, so long as it's in my 'Dex).
And as a bonus note: your Current Diamond Game infobox there is slightly too wide on my screen (my screen's at 1152x864 resolution, too), so it's not fitting next to your userboxes. The result? The contents of your userpage from that box onwards doesn't show up until after all the userboxes (which, as you already know, is a long way down). You might want to try to make the box a little smaller... the Pokédex box can be made smaller if you stick a linebreak in the "National Dex Completed" line, for one. Friend code could be fit underneath your Trainer too, perhaps, that would shave a nice chunk off the side. -- Jïörüjï Ðērākō.> 09:18, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
- Certainly... as soon as the server starts going faster. Augh the damn thing is so sloooow...
- Ooh. Well, I don't have MSN, but I have AIM. And if you need a Rhyperior, well, gimme the Rhydon with the Protector, I'll trade it back.
- Hm. I'll fix it. TTEchidna 00:43, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
- Alright, late response on my part (didn't see your reply for a bit there). I think I got you added in my MSN (it works with AIM as well, iirc)... it would be your AIM name, plus @aol.com? I've got my MSN listed off on my deviantART page as well ([1]), so try adding me if it doesn't work from my end. Either I'll trade you a Rhydon with the item, or you can trade me one and I'll send it back with the item (either way, so long as it ends up in my 'Dex, I'm happy). -- Jïörüjï Ðērākō.>.cнаt^ 21:24, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
Account Problem
Well yeah I asked this a long time ago but I just thought it wasn't worth it but I changed my mind. Anyway, I had an account before, [2], this one. Anyway I forgot to confirm that it was my account and I didn't notice this before. If you're wondering how I didn't notice before and why I couldn't edit I thought that users had to wait a certain amount of days or weeks until they could edit. Um I really rather have my old account again so is there anything I could do?--GIAFGC 03:15, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

deletion
Can you delete these two pages for me, I am all done with my templates!
- User:Moldy orange/Signature
- User:Moldy orange/Sig
Only One.
should it be added to the respective pokemon's page about their signature move? (if they have one) i guess it would fit well in "special abilities". also, why im here, can i make a small suggestion on your sig? maybe its just me, but i like it better as this: TTEchidna, or this: TTEchidna. (i personally like the former/blue) please note that in order for you (the viewer) to see the changes, i had to link your "chidna" to your user page in order allow the colors to come through. (what with this being the talk page and all) --- MAGNEDETH 23:40, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
- Sure. Maybe something like "Lugia is the only known Pokémon that learns Aeroblast."
- And eh, I dunno. We'll see. TTEchidna 02:16, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
as for Sig moves, i was guessing we would put it under "Special abilities":
- Lugia is the only known Pokémon that learns Aeroblast.
or
- Lugia's signature move is Aeroblast.
-- MAGNEDETH 03:09, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

ok so are you guys planing to fix that or just leave it there because that still takes up bandwidth doesnt it?
Tee eMMz
well, i think ive crammed as much info into them as i can. that being said, i need the following templates protectored. this and this. sort of figured both would be protected long ago. in anycase, there are still two things that id like an answer for before i deem this personal project done. first off, how do i symbolize coins and poke coupons? both are too large for the template (not in a size sence, but in a summarize sence ie: BP, and $). i was thinking either nothing for coins, or a simple C, and the coupons either being PkCpn, PkCp, or just the PDollar. also, with the copius information each page holds, are they still considered disambigs? -- MAGNEDETH 00:01, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
- Okay. Pokémon Dollars is $, Battle Points are BP, coins C, Poké Coupons PCpn. Make sure to always link.
- And they technically are, since they disambiguate between moves. TTEchidna 00:06, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
im tired of having an edit war with myself. check out TM10, the PCpn just seems awfully large and protruding. on the flip side, i cant think of anything else to put. -- MAGNEDETH 02:28, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
- PC works I guess... TTEchidna 03:32, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
- yea..but people may confuse it with the Pokemon Center PC. might just have to take that risk. it would link to its respective page after all. -- MAGNEDETH 03:52, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

Spelling/Grammar
I am a good speller, and I am good with my grammar too. I was using my Wii when I was editing "Skateboards" [page], I will also make grammer and spelling errors when I type fast, and I might miss a few capitals at the begining of my sentences. I can't spell certian words ether, so I atempt to spell them. If someone makes a spelling/grammar error, don't make such a big deal out of it, just fix it and don't comment on the persons spelling or grammar. X3ni92 00:20, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

Edits
Twice now, I've been blamed for other people's edits (see the "Link Template" and "Raichu" sections of my talk page for details; the pages in question are Arceus and Raichu). The first time, it seemed like a simple mistake, but the second time was more serious. If someone mistook me for a vandal, I could be unjustly banned, while the vandal continued to get away with his edits. The fact that this has happened twice has set me to wondering if something's going on with the Recent Changes that makes it look like I'm responsible for the edits before the ones I actually make. So are these just honest mistakes, or is the Recent Changes page trying to get me blocked? --Martonimos 08:21, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
- This has been fixed. I dunno how you could be mistaken to have put the crap in there. The idiot who did it has been banned, and I told him to do something more constructive. TTEchidna 09:00, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

Just something odd I noticed
My preferences have set Recent Changes to 500 and all days, by the way.

- You don't need to worry. Nobody can edit the User namespace except admins right now. It started as an experiment to see if it'd take a load off the server and encourage more edits to the main namespace, and now that it's worked fairly well, they're continuing it until they can figure out what to do to prevent people from editing their userpages too much in the future.

One or the Other
Darkrai breeder added a comment to my userpage. normally, no big deal. however, he input it as if to make it look like somone else said it. i asked him on his talk page if he did it on purpose, or if it was an accident, but he has yet to respond. idk if hes hiding the fact that he did, or if he simply went offline. now, idk if this qualifies as a big deal or not, but, i feel putting words in someone elses mouth is wrong (theres always the occasional exception of course, but this does not follow). i just wanted your opinion on this. -- MAGNEDETH 00:22, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
I think he just was adding a comment and forgot to sign, not realizing that one return line really does nothing for the replies. I mean I could do this and it'll come out without the ridiculous spacing. Which is why I wish people would put
- freaking
- colons
- before
- their
- replies
- their
- before
- colons
and make everything work better. But alas, if people can't get that the userspace is not a game show, it'll be hard to tell them how to reply. TTEchidna 00:25, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
- oops, i looked at it too quickly. what with his lack of punctuation, it makes it look like he did it deliberately. what are they teaching kids in English class these days?? on any given day though, if its clear someone did put words one someone elses comment, thats bad right? -- MAGNEDETH 00:30, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
- What are they teaching kids in English? Nothing. Just essay-writing. Not grammar. Not spelling. That's what MS Word is for. When you're writing your essays the computer is supposed to check your grammar. Thats why theirs so much wrong here.
- Yes, it is bad to put words in someone else's comment. Depending on how severe and intentional it is, as well as how many times it is done, it might lead to a temporary block for being an idiot. TTEchidna 00:44, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
- holy hell, that makes so much sense. maybe they added spell-check in Firefox2 for just such a generation. that being said, whats your opinion on the fact that all i did in English class was read a book and answer questions about it? 1984 may be a literary masterpiece, but i found it boring and making no sense. though, it does support my belief that more books should be made into video games. -- MAGNEDETH 00:56, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
- Well, I find spellcheck in Firefox just a handy little reminder most times. My opinion on reading a book and answering questions on it... well, it's that it sucks. I mean, honestly, you're advertising an English class, why not teach ENGLISH in it, not READING. If you go to Spanish class, are you reading Spanish novels? No. You're reading about Spanish grammar and reading short stories. Reading would be much more interesting and liked by people if they weren't forced to do it for most of their school career, or if they picked more interesting books. Like fantasy novels. Screw Dante's Inferno, pretty much no one wants to read the Bible, much less a Bible fanfic.
- And books to games? Most would have to be reworked more than books are to be made into movies. So that'd be a prablem. And 1984 was meant to be confusing with the newspeak. Let's just hope it doesn't happen, though... especially with Scientology's goals. TTEchidna 01:12, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
- you seem to have all the answers. hows about the meaning of life? back when i was younger, my mother got me a book (something about aliens playing baseball) and i enjoyed it. with that, my mother naturally wanted to encourage my reading and got me a couple more books. over time, i grew to hate reading books. i guess i know why now. i also came to the conclusion, "if i learn french grammar in french class, then why am i reading books and writing an essay on what college im going to in english class?"
- also, i was talking to someone the other day (about something, i cant remember) and they asked me something about my opinions on religion. i told them that "while i am Christian, i respect everyones beliefs." i paused, and then added, "except Scientology, thats a crock of shit." i should probibly go to one of those rallies... -- MAGNEDETH 01:25, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
- Well of course I have all the answers. According to David Miscavidge, I'm the second coming of Christ. No. Seriously. Hubbard said that he was the antichrist, and that after he died would be the second coming of Christ, said by him to be actually the fourth (or fifth) Marcabian fleet invading Earth to try to stop Scientology. Then Miscavidge labeled us the fourth (or fifth) Marcabian fleet that was funded by German psychiatrists. Therefore, Anonymous = Jesus.
- Funny. They label their opponents as the second coming of Christ. TTEchidna 01:47, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
- holy hell, that makes so much sense. maybe they added spell-check in Firefox2 for just such a generation. that being said, whats your opinion on the fact that all i did in English class was read a book and answer questions about it? 1984 may be a literary masterpiece, but i found it boring and making no sense. though, it does support my belief that more books should be made into video games. -- MAGNEDETH 00:56, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
Two things.
1. If you didn't know, May's Eevee evolved into Glaceon in yesterday's episode, DP075, according to Serebii.net. Pokémon Lover King Mario 18 April 2008 12:52 (GMT +01)
2. When are you sysops/buerocrats/whatever going to shoe conclusive results for the lack of editing in pages in the User: namespace? It's very long after the scheduled time now, and we haven't got to know anything new. Pokémon Lover King Mario 18 April 2008 12:52 (GMT +01)
- Bulbapedia need *CoughproofCough* to confirm it. Although I do support the fact eevee has evolved (after looking at serebii) into Glaceon though.[7]
- I agree...... (Yes that's all I have to say!) Force Fire
- Seems to be some confuse here. Serebbi, at Serebii.net, was clumsy and made it sound like it was the most recent episode. But after doubblechecking Serebbi.net and Bulbapedia, don't it seems like it has aired yet. - unsigned comment from Pokémon Lover King Mario (talk • contribs)
- Also, Serebii shows the pictures of what happened in the episode, And it doesn' show Glaceon, So Bulbapedia can't confirm if it is May's or not, So I guess we wait 'till DP076 Which air in japan next week (24th april) - unsigned comment from Force Fire (talk • contribs)
- See what I wrote Force Fire. Pokémon Lover King Mario 18:38 (GMT +01) 18 April 2008
OKAY a few things.
- May's Eevee did not evolve into Glaceon last episode. All we saw of May was her sitting in the Snowpoint Pokémon Center, heavily implying that she evolved Eevee up there on Route 217, but no evolution was shown. Period. We didn't move Aipom, and that even began to glow, so we're not moving Eevee. Sure the preview of DP076 shows Glaceon, and afterwards May commanding something, but that doesn't imply anything, unlike if May were in the background while Glaceon was doing something. Heck, I could edit DP074 just enough so that at the end it looks like Ash is commanding Raichu.
- The userspace editing will come back when we find a way to automate the process of checking how many times a user edits in that namespace. We're not in too much of a hurry to do that though, since someone will likely find a way to edit it more.
So in closing, wait until next week. TTEchidna 21:20, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
- The average active user edits his/her userpage five times a day. And talk pages ten or twenty. OptimatumTalk|Links19 Apr 2008
G. (temp)
shouldnt the G template have "versions" on the end? -- MAGNEDETH 03:40, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
- It's used for other things, so it's not just for games... And templates can be linked the same as other things. the G template, you see. Pokémon Breeders, Pokémon Trainers, Pokémon Coordinators... TTEchidna 03:42, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
- so, it just puts "Pokemon" in front of whatever's in the box? like, "Poodle Factory"? -- MAGNEDETH 03:46, 19 April 2008
- wow, sure enough... -- MAGNEDETH 03:47, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
- Yeah. TTEchidna 03:47, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
- Yeah. Plus, if you linked to Yellow, Emerald, or Crystal with that template, you'd wind up at a non-existent page. I think we should use the v template when linking to Pokémon games instead of the g template, which lists them as "x Version" instead of "Pokémon x", but goes straight to the version name instead. If you want to keep the "Pokémon x", then maybe we should consider creating yet another template, or else just replace them with standard links. I'm just giving my input, though. I'll leave it up to the important guys to decide. --Martonimos((Talk)) 03:51, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
- ok, that in mind, shouldnt we have a template for the games? that has {{v|Gold and Silver}} which would make it > Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions. then maybe {{v2| could be the appearence of Gold and Silver, but would link to the full title. like thus: Gold and Silver. -- MAGNEDETH 03:53, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
- We do, see the shortlinks list. TTEchidna 03:54, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
- me good ideas taken before i even fathomed them.... -- MAGNEDETH 03:57, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
- So should we replace all the {{g|game name}} with {{v2|game name}}, and will nobody care that what once said "Pokémon game name" now simply reads "game name"? I hate to be so nitpicky, but in my experience, it's better to be safe than sorry. --Martonimos((Talk)) 08:02, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
- Crisis averted. Forgot to close the nowiki tab. One of the dumber mistakes I've made. Hey, you know what's great? NOT sleep deprivation. --Martonimos((Talk)) 08:04, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
- Eh, I dunno. Pokémon (game name) is fine... we start saying things are found in Red, Green, Blue, and Yellow, people might start looking in their digestive systems. TTEchidna 08:23, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
- Discussion revival. I want to make a template to solve this problem. You'd input {{rpg|GameName}} and get [[Pokémon GameName Version|Pokémon GameName]], or else input {{2rpg|OneName|OtherName}} and get [[Pokémon OneName and OtherName Versions|Pokémon OneName and OtherName]]. It'd make things a little easier on people trying to relink everything (I'm looking at you, Politoed666), and will make sure links go to actual pages instead of redirects without changing the appearance of the page, which is, of course, the point of relinking in the first place. Anyway, the reason I bring this up is that, while I'm pretty sure I can make this template, I want to make sure it's OK. I have no idea whether or not you guys have a policy concerning the creation of link templates.
- That said, if you have any better ideas for names than {{rpg}} and {{2rpg}}, I'm open to them. I mostly just pulled those out of my ass to help make my point. --Martonimos((Talk)) 07:11, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
- That's perfect. If you want, you can make the templates, I'll protect them afterward. TTEchidna 18:49, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
- A name like {{game}} is simple enough, in my opinion. And I don't think it's taken yet. And you could simply add a variable to the template to adjust it to "Version" or "Versions", depending on the number (instead of needing to make two templates for it). -- Jïörüjï Ðērākō.>.cнаt^ 18:55, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
- Check out what I did on one of the LTs for an example of that. I think it's the
{{v}}
... TTEchidna 18:56, 28 April 2008 (UTC)- Template's been created. Give me a moment to test it. --Martonimos((Talk)) 23:19, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
- All right. It works. I did find that thing in Template:v and used that, so I'll only need to make this one. As long as users remember to put an s in the second slot when they're linking to paired versions, this should be fine. Here's hoping it catches on. --Martonimos((Talk)) 23:24, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

May (anime)
I wasn't sure how to ask, but since it's protected, I obviously can't change it. May (anime) states the may will return from DP076 until DP079. However, we don't know if May is leaving the group at 79, all that's been released is that it's going to be Dawn vs May in the Wallace Cup. Shouldn't it be changed May returns to the group from DP076 on, until more info is revealed about if she stays? ^^; Myzou 07:49, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
You know...
There's one crappy thing I've noticed so far. Every active user has edited your talkpage at least once. Weird? OptimatumTalk|Links19 Apr 2008
- Once... in the last week? Year? Month? TTEchidna 08:44, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
- It's not that weird... TTE definitely comes across as the most accessible of the admins. He acts just like another user, mostly. Of course, I don't mean to offend anyone; all the active admins are working hard on this site. --Martonimos((Talk)) 08:46, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
Thanks
Thanks for the compliment. I think I will work on finishing the rest of the egg groups. It's a very useful series of articles. Trainer-c 08:55, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
Foreigner
me and Glinn were talking about the differences of English UK/US and much to Glinns dismay, the pedia uses US English. however, he made a note that its not in the welcome template, so, i was wondering if that would be useful in there or not? -- MAGNEDETH 23:14, 22 April 2008
- Hmmm... I dunno. Pretty much it just gets standardized in and then people get it. I don't suppose the stats over there are named Defence and Special Defence, are they? TTEchidna 23:29, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
Egg Group
You left a message on my usertalk page; this is a response to that.
Um, I didn't know I was messing anything up. I was just copy/pasting everything from the No Eggs egg group page, only changing the info on the page. I'm not sure what I did wrong. Could you give me some specifics? I'm still pretty new to making articles. --LynnCreed 21:25, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
- You put the secondary egg group of the dual-group Pokémon as a centered/bolded cell, instead of keeping it as non-centered, non-bolded, and linked. For example, in Water 2 you had:
# | Name | Type | Other | ||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
129 | Magikarp | Dragon | |||
130 | Gyarados | Dragon |
- When it should be...
# | Name | Type | Other | ||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
129 | Magikarp | Dragon | |||
130 | Gyarados | Dragon |
- And you spelled Qwilfish wrong.
- Additionally, all Pokémon minisprites that are 401-493 have to be called as a png, meaning they need to be
{{MS|###|png}}
instead of just{{MS|###}}
. As you can see, is Bulbasaur, but breaks the template because the minisprite of Kricketot is a png, . - All in all, though, it's fine. Just remember, preview things. If something doesn't look right, try to figure out why. TTEchidna 21:20, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
- Ah, thanks. I'll be more careful next time. my apologies. --LynnCreed 21:25, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
- Good good. Besides, no eggs isn't the best thing to copy from, since it didn't have the stuff automatically there... Base everything off of the Ground group. I just wish it were easier to link to it before having all the articles ready, since I'm not changing the three templates until they're all done... and not working on any egg groups until later on. TTEchidna 21:28, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

Manual of Style
I see that it's protected. You might wanna edit it under the "May's Pokémon" section so it links to May's Glaceon instead of May's Eevee. --ニョロトノ666 17:14, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
- By the way, sorry if I seem kind of...uh...pushy. You'd probably get to it without "prodding," as Fabu-Vinny put it. --ニョロトノ666 17:24, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
One more thing. Bulbapedia:Site support should probably be protected. --ニョロトノ666 20:04, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
Big Problem Brewing
Cassius335 DOES NOT KNOW what initial means. He's counting Misty's 3 episde BF return as her initial guest appearance! He keeps reverting my edit, and he's saying they don't count because I say so! Could u resolve this, for both mine and Cassius's sakes?--KukiTalk 18:37, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
- Oy. It seems fine as-is now. Mentioning that Misty did in fact make five total guest appearance episodes doesn't hurt anything. If May reappears for another seven after she kicks GF ass, we'll see about it. TTEchidna 18:42, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
- Article's been protected. The protection expires at the DP077 airing, which should stop any Wartortle gun-jumper problems as well.
- However, as far as I'm concerned, Cassius335 isn't saying Misty's appearances in the Battle Frontier saga count as the "initial appearance". In fact, if you even bothered to read his edit (as it stands now), you would have read that it was a "second guest appearance". --Shiningpikablu252 18:44, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
But the word 'INITIAL' was still in in all of his edits!!--KukiTalk 18:48, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

Pokémon Card Game DP changes
Hiya, I need an opinion on something: should Cry from the Mysterious/Temple of Anger and Moonlit Pursuit/Dawn Dash be changed to Pokémon Card Game DPX (with X being 5 and 4 respectively)? Two reasons I'm suggesting this:
- 1. There's confusion about the Japanese names for the sets, which isn't gonna clear up easily.
- 2. DP5 stretches the page here and, eh, I'm a neat freak. ^_^
Your thoughts? Cheers, Cipher 16:54, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
- I dunno, I think it'd be better off brought up on the talk pages of both of those. I'd be wary of calling them "Pokémon Card Game DP#", since someone might think "OH LET'S MOVE DIAMOND & PEARL TO POKÉMON CARD GAME DP1 :D". Plus, Pokémon Card Game anything (TCG) is redundant...
- And it doesn't stretch my page... Anyway, bring it up on those talk pages, since I'm not Mr. "Let's figure out titles for it all", especially since I'm not too much of a TCG guy. TTEchidna 23:54, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
