Denji (Electric-type) - Beacon Badge
Makishi has been confirmed on seribii.net to be a Water-type gym leader, not a Flying-type.
Merissa has been confirmed too to be a Ghost-type gym leader, not Posion-type.
Tougan is a Steel-type gym leader, not Ground-type.
I think that with Makishi being a water type gym leader, his badge name is supposed to be the Fin badge.

thread_title: New Rivals in DP

message: Though I was the one to introduce it, I believe it is time for it to be removed. It's hard to explain, but I'm sure it's understandable already. It's just not very relevant to list when each and every Pokémon was revealed. In our other Pokémon game articles, such history is not denoted because it isn't very important. Even though Diamond and Pearl are new games, when will there be too many introduced Pokémon to list in the article. That's why I'm going to instead summarize it.

replies: text: It's sadly because people don't read and really don't understand what constitutes relevancy or not. I've reverted it and made it very clear that one should check the Talk Page...

replies: text: I suppose with the Japanese release date mere days away now, it makes sense to delete it, but I do feel it was a comprehensive list of the Pokemon that had been revealed already. Now there is no such list. Michaelritchie200 06:14, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: My reasoning for removing the New Pokémon section

message: I feel like they really shouldn't be part of the article... When will it be decided that there are so many Pokémon, techniques etc. that there won't be sections for it. Instead of giving a detailed list of attacks and types that these new Pokémon can learn, I think that a paragraph or two should be written... --Coltonblue 18:26, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: New Pokémon, techniques, and abilites

message: So I finally managed to get around to attempting to synthesize this rather bloated page into a slightly less bloated one ha... The essential problem is that I'd rather not have the continuity issues ("In the anime", etc) discussed on the page dedicated to the games, but I was reticent to remove them because that's more of a decision to be made by the masses. On that front, I'd like to know how people feel about that particular issue.
Also, it will be noticed that I removed the table describing the newest Pokemon in great detail as this is a matter more aptly suited to personal Pokemon pages. I, however, did not destroy the data completely and it is currently sitting on my hard drive. If need be, I'll put it back up here. (Or I suppose someone could copy it from an old revert... whatever ha.) Unless I'm mistaken, each of the new Pokemon has a page, and I'm on the way to add the contents of the table into said encyclopedic entry.
I can't actually think of anything else that may be an issue of the top of my head, but please, 'don't sit around and revert the article just because it looks differently.' In other words, act like you're not mentally handicapped. (I mention this last point because as I type this, someone has already reverted due to "vandalism"... funny. I guess this person has never)
Charles M. Reed 06:14, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I didn't revert it due to absolute vandalism. I reverted your edit because it was amateurish and created new mistakes that didn't exist in the previous version like capitalization of sub-titles and mispronunciations. So if you want to change an article for whatever arguable reason of yours at least try to maintain the quality of the previous edit instead of lowering it, which totally negates the purpose of an edit. Also, that's why I said "vandalism of several segments", rather than "total vandalism". Funny how your "healthy mind" works. Lividore 07:33, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Page Streamline

message: First of all, it is purely speculation that 16 trainers will meet in a "union room". Second, it is obvious that there will be new moves. Stop putting these back in. And as for the features of the DS that will be used, we have no idea about ANY, so don't write "whether or not the clock ... yadda yadda".Coltonblue 01:50, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: New topics go at the bottom of the page. It may be “obvious” to you, but that doesn’t mean it will be to everyone. Not everyone who reads the article will be intimately familiar with Pokémon. The 16 figure and Union Room were mentioned when the Wireless support was, and the mic and touchscreen were mentioned when that quote was released. The clock is relevant( because it’s been important to prior installments), but not among the obvious “feature set” and was not mentioned. I’ll look for the citation links. -- WikidSmaht (talk) 02:30, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Regarding List of Features

message: As I explained in this edit, the sentence “CoroCoro recently gave Pokémon fans their first glimpse of Diamond and Pearl’s graphical style when it published a few screenshots, showcasing the game’s battle system, which uses more complex and detailed sprites; and the overworld, which mixes 2D and 3D elements, sporting a bright array of colors, all while maintaining the chibi style seen in previous editions.” does need a semicolon in the middle. Why? Because( aside from it being a massive run-on sentence) a semicolon is acceptable, and even preferred, for seperating list items when the list items contain descriptive clauses using commas, i.e.: [a, b, and c] but [a, which x; b, which y; and c]. At the moment, this is not an issue, since a helpful anon has broken it up into two sentences, a much better solution. But if it should ever be reverted for any reason, a semicolon is the appropriate break. -- WikidSmaht (talk) 22:38, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Well... it doesn't really matter any more, because the sentence has been split, however my sentence was perfectly correct without the semicolon. Though the sentence is, I admit, wordy, it isn't a run-on.Coltonblue 22:47, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Semicolon

message: Who, may I ask put that in the Abilities section? What Pokemon learns this ability?
According to the article history, Lividore made that particular edit. (See the June 15th edit, rv)Charles M. Reed 19:43, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Sorry? Could you possibly refer to this edit? Well, I did make it, but, as I hope you can see, it certainly doesn't have the word "cacophony" in it. The edit was in fact made by an anon who added the whole "New Abilities" section in "15:23, 16 June 2006". But I wonder, putting the blame on me so quickly, perhaps you are still mad at me for previously reverting your edit. If so, then I assure you, I had no interest in hurting your feelings. My concerns for editing it back were totally pedantic, and I did so for the reasons I mentioned above. I might have acted rashly (almost as rashly as you did), but frankly, I just didn't find your changes to be greatly meritorious. I also made a mistake using the word "vandalism". I might have found your edit to be slightly detrimental, but you obviously made it out of good intentions. I apologize. Please bear no grudge, and happy editing. --Lividore 22:56, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

message: Where are the sources on that? First of all, Soundproof is already an ability in RSE, so it shouldn't be listed. The fact that they did list it makes me wonder about their sources for Moist Body (Which may be an ability in RSE too, but I haven't finished that yet >_> ). Someone please fix that or cite sources. I'm removing Soundproof from it until then. DarthLuigi36 23:41, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Pointless 

message: In the body, there was some confusing references to the new pokemon using translated versions of the new pokémon names instead of the offical ones we now have, so I changed it. Also, there were two different versions of Weavile's name, so I changed them all to the one from the table/ I doubt this will be an issue but just thought I'd explain myself.Craig Sniffen 00:01, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Base Stats 

message: I'm confused as to whether it is Freeze or Seize for Weavile. http://serebii.net/diamondpearl/attacks.shtml.
If I remember correctly user Shaojian changed it from Freeze to Sieze. It is a Normal-type attack, as opposed to what "Freeze" may suggest, and "Seize" suits better the move's effect. Besides, Shaojian seems to possess extensive knowledge of the Japanese language so I trust his changes. --Lividore 20:09, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I never said it was a normal, attack but I did disagree with it being Ice. A lot of that came from the fact that it was translated as "freeze" when the Japanese word gives the name more of a sense of taking something from someone and preventing them from using it. For example, "seizing" it or "robbing" it from them. The translation of its attack is more along those lines. Though I was told to stay away from original research, I felt some mistranslations needed to be fixed.Shaojian 05:02, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

text: The problem is, not everyone will listen to the warning.  Furthermore, some people actually believe that the fake Pokémon are real and that's why they get added in the first place.  --SaturnYoshi 21:41, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

text: I hardly doubt that Pokémon is going down the drain.  It is still one of Nintendo's big money-makers.  Also, Mewthree is one of the oldest Fakémon out there.  It was created back when people first learned about Mew and Mewtwo.  --SaturnYoshi 04:01, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

Doubt it. It's not like people knew that the release date was going to be announced... -Amarkov babble 14:51, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Seeing as there are no longer any 2006 sources... 

message: Now that the games are out in Japan. We need People who have played the JP version (And could read it and also use english correctly) to start adding verified info. Much of the info we have is still all speculation even though the game is out in JP expecialy on the pages on the pokemon.  I'd do this myself but.. I can't read japanese. Nor do i have a Japanse DS(if you need one) or the game for that matter.Lego3400: The Sage of Time 00:20, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: We do. All I could do is remove the reference to new natures, as it would appear that is false, since nobody's seen them. And it has to be someone who can really read Japanese, as mechanical translation never works. -Amarkov babble 00:22, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

text: I could do that but it'd be considered "original research", no? Shaojian 04:08, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't think so. Besides, someone's going to do it eventually. -Amarkov babble 03:53, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  I'd be able to justify the inclusion of the Natures and such (and confirm it), but I have no method of making it a source. - Tetsuya-san (talk : contribs) 12:04, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Correct information 

message: Since there seems to be a large page move war in regards to the romanized names of some D/P Pokemon, I say we should protect those articles which seem to be affected the most (Hydoran, for example). Also, we should come up with a general consensus: either use the trademarked names as the article name, or use the direct translations. Not both. Blue Mirage | Comment 22:38, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I admit that I participated in this this morning, and had moved Shyem to Sheimi.  As far as I am aware - and I've looked - there are ony a handful of Pokemon whos "official" romanizations are known.  For those, I'm fine with using those names, but otherwise, we should follow the Hepburn standard for the naming.  Magaroja 00:57, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Direct transliteration/trademarked romaji move war 

message: Should we add something about how people use cheating devices to unlock event-only pokemon and using the Wi-Fi to trade them all over the world? I see this kind of thing happening on Gamefaqs.com often. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.16.8.148 (talk • contribs) .
Exactly how would this be encyclopedic? People cheat/hack in every game, and it should only be mentioned if it's notable (Pokémon Red and Blue, for instance). Diamond and Pearl just aren't noticeable enough when it comes to cheating. Blue Mirage | Comment 14:25, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm not entirely sure I believe that it works. Either way, we can't use forums as a secondary source. -Amarkov babble 13:30, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
