message: I archived the talk page, which was getting long. I kept FFA. Feel free to re-add any important topics. Glad to see new faces, and I hope I can get back into this. Alvin6226  talk  03:54, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

message: We're having a bit of a situation going on at Kirlia. User:Luigifan insists on adding a trivia section stating that Cosmo and Kirlia look similar in appearance. It's been removed per WP:TRIVIA but yet he continues to add it. I don't think protection is necessary, but still...help please? -Sukecchi 11:57, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

message: Okay... rather than working on the species merger, I made a few userboxes.

replies: text: I think the numbers in the sideboxes are too big.  It's usually about 12.  Also, is the number "670" (base stat totals of the most powerful Pokémon) too obscure?  I would think the word "Uber" would better convey the message.  While we're on the topic of userboxes, I want to point out one I made a while ago: .  You plug in how many Pokémon you've caught.  However, the Pokédex in Diamond and Pearl instead display how many you've seen instead.  If I liked they way they redid the Pokédex, I'd probably add another parameter, but I don't want to.  --Brandon Dilbeck 20:01, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Alright, I altered them. I still think that 12 looked a bit too small for Mew's and Arceus' numbers, so I lowered them to 16 rather than to 12. You Can't See Me!
I think these kinds of userboxes are the epitomy of what's wrong with userboxes.  Language ones, likes and dislikes of general and broad categories...cool.  But I think that it's a heck of a lot better to simply write out "I don't like ubers in competiive play" or what-not.  On an unrelated note, I'm getting pissed off because I just spent a half-hour soft resetting for a Modest Kyogre in Sapphire and still haven't gotten one. hbdragon88 23:07, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

message: I've changed some stuff in the style guide, trying to remove our current absurdly rigid "you will use this format" approach. I would have liked discussion, but the thread I started on it got archived after nobody commented. -Amarkov moo! 03:59, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

message: Now that the discussion on template for deletion is finished we need someone that hsa AWB, because it will take too much time to replace all the text. Subst'ing is too late now. But we can replace the dead templates by something though. Let's all replace it by something like "In Pokémon Anime", or something like that. Yeah, so who is with me?

replies: text: Well, it's empty.  I would say a speedy delete is in order.  --Brandon Dilbeck 02:18, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It's gone now.  That was fast.  It looks as though the creator of the category intended to group items in the category together—something that isn't really possible with categories—so he gave up and left it to die.  --Brandon Dilbeck 02:23, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

message: I've noticed that many of the first, second, and third generation guys don't have information on their locations in Diamond and Pearl. Since most have their location written down in the article under "In the video games" for the other generations, I was wondering if we should add the fourth-gen information, or if it would be too game-guidish. I personally think it would be a good idea.Leprechaun Gamer 23:51, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't think that locations in any games should be included unless their location is particularly notable (i.e. Snorlaxen who block off the path to somewhere). -23:58, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed. Maybe a general habitat can be given if those are consistent (Gastly almost always appearing in old buildings, for instance), but otherwise locations are filler content. Snorlax/Soodowoodo/Kecleon are good examples of otherwise notable locations. You Can't See Me! 01:56, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

text: Remove the Caterpie-like ones (WP:NOT#IINFO); add the Porygon one because D/P is the first time Porygon is found wild (in every other game, Porygon is either unavailable or can only be bought from the Game Corner). -Jeske (v^_^v) 13:12, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Ok, but I wanna give some examples of nonnotable ones. Rattata/Raticate in the Johto and Kanto games shouldn't have all their locations listed as they are almost anywhere. Same goes to Zigzagoon/Linoone in Ruby/Sapphire (though they aren't that common in Emerald), maybe we should just list the most notable locations. For example, Wurmples should be listed to Petalburg Woods as it's the most ntoable location, even though it still can be found elsewhere in the games. TheBlazikenMaster 23:06, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  For the sake of accuracy and continuity... 

message: Hello there, members of the Anglophone WikiProject Pokémon. I'm a member of the project, but also one of the administrators of the Wikiprojeto Pokémon, the Lusophone project for Pokémon related articles. We're passing through reformulations on the Lusophone Wikipedia and thus I had an idea for the four languages projects Pokémon: why not create like international relations between the projects, where the members could discuss about how to help each project in other languages (like create an universal template, style and others)? This idea is still basic, but I think it'd be a great step on the development of all Pokémon projects. Think about this and contact me here or in Portuguese and Japanese Wikipedias. Thank you for the atention.

message: I just looked at the Ash Ketchum article, and it said that he accidentally caught an Arceus, but decided he didn't like it and sent it to Professor Oak. Naturally, I had trouble believing it, but when I checked again, it didn't say anything about any Arceus. Could someone clear this up for me? Is it true, or was it just vandalism?Leprechaun Gamer 02:23, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

message: I notice that the archives before number 15 still have the Collaborative Project's name on it (e.g. Wikipedia talk:Pokémon Collaborative Project/Archive 14#We're in trouble.).  Is there any way to fix this so that if we have to link to some archive earlier than no. 15? -Jeske (v^_^v) 01:53, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: Let's say, we create Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Pokémon/Archive 14, which redirects to Wikipedia talk:Pokémon Collaborative Project/Archive 14. Linking to sections would still require PCP, though. You Can't See Me! 03:26, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: I suppose, but I thought that archives are supposed to be as historically accurate as possible. Perhaps I am mistaken, though. You Can't See Me! 04:35, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
