message: This article survived not one, but two AFD votes, with no consensus on both ocassions (I believe). Many of the "facts" presented in the article seem to be assumptions, but there are some which seem to be valid. Also, I have seen (and heard) of a lot of cultural references in Pokémon, both in the Japanese and English version (see  for a few missed examples). The article also overly focuses on the English version, ignoring the Japanese version completely. We need someone to seperate the facts from assumptions, and to also highlight the cultural references in the Japanese version. A.K.R. 14:27, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

message: Template:Anime_characters
Take into account the name of the template, which doesn't really work. It also really occupies the use of any other Anime_characters usage, if anything. Hence why I feel it needs a renaming. But it's also unstandard to other Wikipedia articles, and may need a redesign, somewhere along the lines of this:
Main Characters in the Pokémon anime
 Ash Ketchum  |  
Misty  |  
Brock  |  
Gary Oak  |  
May  |  
Max  |   
Team Rocket  |   
Tracey Sketchit
Any thoughts?

message: I was trying to compile a nice biography of Ivysaur based on its Dex information from the games, and I went to one of my favorite pokemon resource sites, http://www.pokemondungeon.com. It has a lot of Dex information and stats.
Later I noticed the Pokerefs template, and I didn't see it on there. I did use information from that site, and wanted to credit it, but I wonder if it should go into the pokerefs. Take a look at the site, is it good enough to add on? Toastypk 02:15, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, that depends. I don't think there's enough pages that use information from that site, so unless you plan to use it for information in the biologies for other Pokémon, I wouldn't input anything into the template yet. If you'll be using it for a significant number of articles, I guess you can add it. But since you're doing it for Ivysaur right now, I don't think you should. Add it below the template link for now. --Anthony Jake La (Tetsuya-san; talk : contribs) 04:03, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

thread_title:  All Name Origins merged into introductions! 

message: So far, I’ve been through 2 glitch articles and 9 “real” Pokémon. Most of the work has gone into: synthesizing all known Pokédex entries into one or two prose paragraphs (all Pokédex entries, including Pokémon Stadium, are available in most Pokémon’s Bulbapedia entries and on Serebii.net); standardizing the sections; reducing TCG-cruft; formatting; fixing R/B/Y weights to the more specific weights given in the 3rd gen( though I haven’t adjusted the metric weights, does someone want to do so, if it’s necessary?); and adding better descriptions of shinies.
Most of these articles will probably still need to be further rewritten to be understood by those who haven’t read the main Pokémon article.
Per Celestianpower’s suggestion, I have been “subst”ing , to which I also added some parameters. While this has resulted in minor link breakage, the problem isn't serious, and is being corrected as I go along. This means that future additions will have to be done manually, but allows for greater customization and organization of resources in each article. And, as I understand it,  was primarily a stopgap solution to prevent unsourced stubs from being deleted.
I've just reached Caterpie, and decided to do a minor overhaul of WP:PAC/S and the infobox explanation - which I think provides a good opportunity for everyone to agree or object to the way I’ve been doing things( by viewing and responding to the changes I make).
Speaking of which, why were the references to the Guardian article and the computer virus, included on WP:PAC/S, removed from Bulbasaur?
A few points of discussion: Signature attacks. I think we should include signature attacks from the anime and manga. This is a very arbitrary statistic in any case, and I think the attacks from other media are more likely to be recognized by casual readers( laypersons). Locations. I think that we need not include more than basic location data in the video games section, and not specify which Pokémon appear where and how often except in the case of particularly notable or rare Pokémon like Absol. I'm going to try something in Caterpie, and tentatively set it as an example in PAC Style.
2 currently non-existant articles which I think would be immensely useful are Berries_(Pokémon)( so much more can be said than has been in the items article!) and Pokémon breeding. I have early stub drafts of each, but I am not likely to create them until the completion of my current focus.
Let’s discuss all these things here, though, rather than on the Style page’s talk. -- WikidSmaht (talk) 11:05, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

message: Can I suggest a new future focus article for the non-species focus? 
If so I feel that the PCP should turn it's attention to one of the gym leader groups, more specifically List of Hoenn Gym Leaders.
I've been focusing lots of work on it alone, adding character boxes, and beginning implementing infoboxes (the horror).
More or less, a few days ago, this was what the Roxanne section looked like - ]
Somewhat empty, this is it now: List of Hoenn Gym Leaders#Roxanne
This may be a draft version for what the PCP would like to implement for all gym leaders.
I have an awful feeling all the infoboxes are going to be deleted by someone, so I'll be professional and only say it once..
Please no! : P
Anyway, that's my suggestion for the other one -
SUGGESTION FOR FUTURE FOCUS ARTICLE (Non Species) - List of Hoenn Gym Leaders
SUGGESTION FOR FUTURE FOCUS ARTICLE (Species) - Combusken
- Did a lot of work tidying up Torchic (We need to teach people how to link to the actual pokémon type they're meaning, opposed to just the type page!)
Torchic, the Manga needs work, I have no clue about it, it's the only place left that needs a tremendous amount of work, besides the anime.
I also added a link about the Torchic Star phenomenon, to clear things up there.

It also has an old infobox, which is less of a crucial nature..

Just as a question, which do you think is a better version of List of Hoenn Gym Leaders#Roxanne - 
# List of Hoenn Gym Leaders#Roxanne
# Look at Roxanne
Obviously the newer gym leader box would need to be changed, but come on, at least a portion of the older version should remain, it did have much more information. User:A Man In Black also did half of the article, then left it in an complete shit heap. I haven't touched it because I don't want to change the boxes or anything, because I'll do it wrong.
I can see his point over deleting the extra information, but surely if we were to expand the articles like the Kanto gym leaders -
For example - Misty
Well frankly I don't care anymore. CelestianPower did say it was very good, and no offence but I do rank Celest over AMINB, I'm not sure why, oh well. I know personally that if you don't want your content cruelly editted you shouldn't post it, but fuck it I'm just mad now.

I understand there has been a bit of controversy at List of Hoenn Gym Leaders, and I've offered my opinion on that above, but someone (Celestianpower, was that you?) suggested that we get rid of the Gym Leader infobox. I'm pretty sure I'm the one who made Template:Gymleaderinfobox, and I don't think anyone ever really offered any opinion on whether we should use it or not.
I definitely think we should use it instead of made-by-hand tables, but I'm not convinced that we need an infobox for Gym Leaders.

thread_title: Wikipedia:WikiProject Nintendo

message: A user made a whole bunch of separate templates for the gym leaders; i.e. Template:Hoenn Gym Leaders, Template:Johto Gym Leaders, and Template:Kanto Gym Leaders.  I think this just screams REDUNDENCY and needs to be fixed.  So far I've created Template:Pokémon Gym Leaders, which rolls all three regions' gym leaders into one.  I think this should be implemented.  I think this needs to be extended to the Elite Four tempaltes, as well.  I need help, however, in implementing all of these templates, as well as categorizing the Gym Leaders into appropriate categoreis (seems to be nonexistent). 04:01, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Templates 

message: :Image:Pokébuck sign.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is  other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.  Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
