I know there's a separate thread, but I doubt everyone will answer all my questions.

Most of my questions are on this page, but I'll be specific to those who don't go on BP here:

1) Was there not a footage of the Hoenn Pokérap during one of the live Pokémon tournaments?
2) Do rebattling trainers give out gifts after a certain limit in GSCHGSS? If so, we should mention it in the article.
3) Does the Big Root have any effect on Liquid Ooze?
4) What is the actual title of AG125? There are two titles... minor, they are, but still... see the article for details.
5) acid rain (you have to see the actual talk page, I don't want to put it here...)
6) What are the Battle Tower prizes in C, RS? I recall getting a Mental Herb in RS. Is there an order to it as well?
7) Who is Webster's friend in GSCHGSS? It is mentioned by Webster himself after handing the mail, but I missed it.
8) The characters listed are not even in the picture of PS171 and vise-versa. Anyone want to clarify this?
9) Trivia noticed in Ranger Sign (reference to Zelda). Is it accurate to say so?
12) Is the move Defog capable of being deleted w/o a move deleter in HGSS? In other words, is Defog treated as an HM or TM in these games?
14) Is there any significance to the Fluffy Tail article?
16) Any suggestions on the elemental types? See the talk page for details on how it should be fixed up, coding-wise.
17) Regarding Template:Moveentryjp. Is it needed, as in, can we merge it with Template:Moveentry?
18) Is there a certain set of Pokémon in GSC that flee in battle? If so, we need an article for that.
19) We need a standard for Trainer tips, and talking NPCs. Do we use <sc> or not?
20) Can we get an image for the footprint of ten questions marks? The RS entry shows it to have one.
21) What is the significance of Special:Tags and the Related changes in the sidebar?
22) Wi-Fi Plaza: trainer sprites to be uploaded or not?

1. Dunno. I hate Hoenn.
2. Depends on the Trainer. Some do, some don't. If it's a rematch, if they do, they will, if they don't, they won't.
3. Gotta test that.
4. What do you mean by that?
5. I think that got answered.
6. Battle items, mostly, I think.
7. I don't think he has a name. The fat guy on Route 31 by the Apricorn tree.
8. What?
9. What trivia?
10. Both have a 1x catch rate. Luxury Ball makes a Pokémon more happy for each positive event than a Pokémon in another ball. Friend Ball sets the Pokémon's happiness to 200 when it is caught but afterward it gains happiness normally. Thus, in the short run, Friend Ball is better. In the long run, Luxury Ball is better. Depends on if you're grabbing a Pokémon for its happiness evolution for its Pokédex entry or if you're gonna give it Return.
11. Colo/XD are not part of the Stadium series. They, like Stadium 0, Stadium 1, Stadium 2, and PBR, are classified as battle arena games, so as to be more general.
12. Can't check, battling Suicune. I'd assume so, since apparently Dive can be forgotten normally in FRLG.
13. Can Shedinja learn Endure? If it can, then yes, since Endure works no matter what your starting HP, as long as it's successful. If it can't, well, then you have to hack, but it should work anyway.
14. Poké Doll has its own article, so Fluffy Tail would need one as well. Possibly it, Poké Doll, Smoke Ball, and Shed Shell could be lumped together in one article under "battle escaping items", but I dunno.

It can, via TM, but since it has 1 HP, you're saying it works, right? If any Pokémon can use Endure at 1 HP, then this is a silly question...
 
Any Pokémon can use Endure successfully at 1HP. Whether it works or not is independent of current HP.

15) It's a recurrent plot theme in the anime. Like most articles, it can and should be expanded to include information from the games (Amphy, Psyduck) and manga (and I'm sure there are examples for this.
16) No idea what you're talking about.
17) It might work. Would it make things easier?
18) Yes, the ones that can get caught with the Fast Ball.
19) What do you mean... for their dialogue? Trainer Tips go in the {{sign}} template.
20) Ask SnorlaxMonster or someone else that plays with glitches.
21) Tags are a Mediawiki function that Bulbapedia does not utilise, and probably doesn't need to. Wikipedia uses them to automatically draw attention that large changes such as removing a whole section. The only practical use I can think of would be someone writing "Pokemon" rather than "Pokémon"; basically the edit gets tagged in the recent changes and the 50,000 people that spend their time monitoring the RC rather than editing can deal with it.
21a) Related changes is a subset of the recent changes that only shows changed pages that are linked to on the certain page.

It was not implied when you asked it in this thread.

I think the separation was a throw-back to the days of Generation III. In a way, it explicitly separates the moves into damaging and non-damaging although the "Status" column is somewhat redundant. I don't think it's a bad thing to keep it as it is.

Well, I don't use cheating devices to get so called "glitches" in Gen III and IV (which is what ten question marks is) but looking at that picture, it seems to have just defaulted back to Bulbasaur's footprint, so we could just link to that (when we fix the server problems we are having). But I've based that entirely off that Pokédex entry that we have, and it seems to have many different index numbers (possibly with many different footprints). I believe Missingno. Master knows an amount about them, as do many members of Glitch City Labs. The problem is that there are 65,536 variants. Personally, I think only true glitches should be included - if they require an external device, they should not be considered notable nor included on Bulbapedia outside of grouped page about "Filler data".

Basically, I say we should include that footprint (Bulbasaur's) on the page, but should remember that there could be more.
 
With ?????????? and ?????, yeah, they probably should be in filler data, maybe titled "filler data glitch Pokémon". On their own they don't do much. I dunno. Maybe keep the pages, too.

Actually, ????? can be accessed without a cheating device. You just need to perform the Celebi Egg Trick with different moves (no move in the 3rd slot and you get a Hex 00 ?????). ? on the other hand...
