    Bulbapedia Suggestions, ideas, and problems

    Also, I probably should've linked Selphy, since I mentioned her in my post.

    Bulbapedia Suggestions, ideas, and problems

    In Resort Gorgeous, Lady Gillian's Mareeps both have Stardust, and her Flaafy has a Nugget. Jack's Hoppip and Skiploom both have Stardust. Selphy's Persians both have Nuggets. Every single Black Belt, Crush Girl and Crush Kin in FireRed/LeafGreen has a Black Belt on every single one of their...

    Bulbapedia Suggestions, ideas, and problems

    I'm still getting really slow load times and frequent page load failures. I'll try to put together a list of examples when it gets better. It's an ability that Ampharos can have naturally, and using its ability allows it to surpass Deoxys. Let me repeat: It can have it naturally. That's...

    Bulbapedia Suggestions, ideas, and problems

    I also noted the article's talk page as an appropriate - you state it is unrealistic to expect those removing content to search for its contributor, and yet the same applies to finding which user has removed someone's contribution. Talk pages, as a rule, are generally barren of discussion, and...

    Bulbapedia Suggestions, ideas, and problems

    I don't agree that it is enough to simply provide an edit summary - to do so assumes that other users, especially the contributors, are looking over pages they have made edits to. This is not a reasonable expectation. It would be far more appropriate to bring up the matter, either on the talk...

    Bulbapedia Suggestions, ideas, and problems

    I have never seen any attempt to establish consensus. What does happen is that trivia is removed, and the opinions of those adding it are discarded. I have never seen trivia that has been removed be transplanted to the talk page for discussion, or for it to be brought up on the contributor's...

    Bulbapedia Suggestions, ideas, and problems

    So, I've been noticing a steadily growing anti-trivia movement on Bulbapedia - I keep seeing editors, especially admins, purging trivia left and right. What the hell? I know Wikipedia has a no trivia policy, but get this: Trivia is one of the things I like most about Bulbapedia, and is one of...

    On the Origin of Species: Woobat: Investigating the inspirations behind Pokémon

    One of the big design themes in Generation V is common descent, which is apparent from how many Pokémon parallel those of other generations, though most especially Generation I. Despite Unova being a long way away from Kanto and the other regions, many of its Pokémon show distinct similarities...

    Bulbapedia Suggestions, ideas, and problems

    The point about Manectric is notable only because it takes a place above Deoxys - otherwise, it's confusing to say something like "Deoxys has the third highest absolute Special Attack". I can agree with the comment about Marowak, and I don't contest that point (I did not add it, but...

    Bulbapedia Suggestions, ideas, and problems

    Pikiwyn removed my additions to Ampharos and Manectric without providing any reason for doing so. He also removed a long-standing note about Marowak from the Deoxys page stating items shouldn't be included, removing my edit regarding Ampharos and Manectric at the same time, but that doesn't...

    Ever think the games are too easy?

    A toddler? I can't even get an eight-year-old to use the move combinations I tell him to do. :P

    SS/HG easier than GS?

    Level 50s? Oh lord that is going to hurt when I fight her on my Nuzlocke Challenge Yellow save. ;_; On topic, I love the remakes. Absolutely love them. I think they are simply better than the originals because the originals were still very much broken as the series was still in its infancy. I...

    Ever think the games are too easy?

    I agree completely with Outrage - things like using the Poké Radar or the Masuda method to obtain shinies, or using Power items to control Pokémon IVs are methods that are placed in the game to provide a level of control over the RNG intended for by the developers; outright manipulation of the...

    The exploitation shot of female Swimmers in HGSS. Linky.

    Biggest fail moment so far?

    Wild Graveler appeared! *Cue shiny animation* "Holy crap, it's a shiny Graveler!" *I show my boyfriend* "Okay, let's use Crobat's Wing Attack, I don't want to kill it." Wild Graveler used Selfdestruct. :bawling:
