I was wondering why even the talk pages on Bulbapedia are locked from editing. I read the message (the one that displays when clicking "view source") and I understand that pages are protected because of Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, but I don't understand why talk pages need to be protected as well. I haven't seen a message about the protection anywhere--I've checked the main page, twitter, Bulbanews, anything I could think of--but maybe I'm just missing it. I also have been checking the recent changes to make sure it wasn't just a fluke for me, but I've only been seeing admins making edits. That also made me notice that a lot of the edits that are being made aren't even about the new games, so I was kinda wondering if the protection was even necessary this early (but I'd understand if it is. I just maybe thought I could bring that to attention. I'm sure the admins know what they're doing). Even so, I thought that in the past (though I may be mistaken) even when a new game was about to come out, the talk pages were still open to editing so users could post edit requests for admins. I just wondered if there was a reason for the site-wide protection on the talk pages.

@slimey01; Editing of Bulbapedia is currently restricted due to the hacking of the Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire demo. Only members of staff and approved editors are able to edit at this time. Edit requests can be posted in the edit requests sticky.
