Bulbapedia Suggestions, ideas, and problems

Why doesn't the table on this page have round edges, like most of the other tables?

It mostly likely isn't roundied yet or it may still be using the -moz code which doesn't display in all browsers (which was the case), I have fixed it now.

Thanks. I would've done it, but just looking at the code gave me a headache...

Ok, so Isshu and Hiun City articles were unlocked today. It says in the history that after they were unlocked "we (admins) will see how it goes". Are the article protected so that only established editors can edit? That would solve the problem until BW comes out right?

Re: Official Bulbapedia suggestion/idea/problem thread

Actually, the protection of those articles just ran out. They're re-protected for another month again, at least until the games come out.

We could have a page for the Pokémon fonts used...

Some of them were created (the Pokémon logo) but the ones that tell which version of the game is it were not.

For Diamond/Pearl/Platinum they used Futura SB-XBold

For HG/SS they used Athenaeum-Bold

With more research I'm sure we could find out which were used for RSE and FR/LG.

Huh.

Good find, good find.

I support the creation of an article for both fanmade and officially-used fonts. Userspace first, though.

Re: Official Bulbapedia suggestion/idea/problem thread

Ok I found another, the font used for "Version" on HGSS is Microgramma Bold Extended.. Interstingly enough both Athenaeum and Microgramma were designed by Aldo Novarese!

The font used for RSE seems to be the same that was used for DPPt but the low-res is the unique thing different.

I'm searching the one they used for FRLG now.

Also with those fonts we can make custom logos! Like...

*hand raise*

On the quiet need to cite some information: would it be too much to ask for, in the case of caught/party pokémon in the anime, that confirmed genders have links back to what Japanese episode confirmed them overtly, and once-and-for-all? Because I'm a little confused in which episode Bayleef's gender was oh-they-said-it-they-said-it!confirmed.

And by confused, I mean, I believe it's hogwash conjecture without verbally stated proof until shown otherwise. So, please show me otherwise.

It'd be useful, but a pain to implement.

...How? If you didn't just "assume" and there's episodic proof they confirmed it, someone's going to remember around which episode it was. Putting it on the page? Stick it at the top of the trivia list:

* [insert Pogey here]'s gender was confirmed in episode whatever.

It's helpful, and it shows you aren't just bullshitting...because I'm betting the Bayleef page is.

I'm saying it'd take a while to find the ep that each was stated in. I dunno about Ash's Bayleef, though; ask the person who added it.

Re: Official Bulbapedia suggestion/idea/problem thread

This again?

Re: *in the right place, nao*

Yes, again. =P ENCYCLOPEDIA. Facts. We like facts.

I'm saying it'd take a while to find the ep that each was stated in. I dunno about Ash's Bayleef, though; ask the person who added it.

Given that it was an on-off battle through '08 and '07...it's not worth finding who put it or who kept it. Episode that "apparently" confirms the gender is ep136, and is listed as part of the trivia. However, the English dub makes no mention of the word "she" in relation to Chikorita, and trivia makes no mention if it was in the English or Japanese version...it's unconfirmed until that's cleared.

Every other engendered pogey is either made engendered by two things: verbal confirmation (which is why Charizard's not officially listed as male) or gender differences (hi, Buizel). Where is the verbal proof for this one?

In Diamond/Pearl, Jogger Craig also has a level 20 Ponyta in the initial battle in addition to his level 19 Luxio and level 21 Staravia.

In Diamond/Pearl, Jogger Scott gives 736 Pokemon dollars as prize money.

Hope I helped.

You did, thank you very much. Although you could have just added it yourself...?

I wasn't sure how. Do I have to create an account for Bulbapedia to do that?

Update:
Cool! I registered an account, logged in, looked at those gibberish and decided to give it a go. Now it's done! =)

Glad I could help. Welcome to Bulbapedia.

BTW, now that payout of P640 makes sense... >_>

...then watch the Japanese episode? I dunno.

Re: Official Bulbapedia suggestion/idea/problem thread

Hey I noticed a mismatch of info for some Poison Pokemon. On the Poison type page (http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Poison_%28type%29), it says the move Poison fang has a 30% chance of badly poisoning. On Poison Fang's actual age (http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Poison_Fang_%28move%29), it claims to have a 20% chance of badly poisoning. I honestly have no clue as to which is correct, but a conundrum nonetheless.

 

[TTEchidna]

Re: Official Bulbapedia suggestion/idea/problem thread

Uhmmm. Probably 30%. Since it's always either 10, 30, 50, or 100%.
