Item duplication with Missingno.

What I added in on the page on Missingno. is reliable, I did it and it worked.Scientific Alan (talk) 22:12, 20 January 2012 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification

Hi. When you recently edited List of Pokémon (202–251), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Phoenix (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Spyro the Dragon response

I only added the minor characters and bosses so that the people would know more about them. Though on the Skylanders part, I had to add the element info to the Skylander Army so people would know what each one is associated with. Rtkat3 (talk) 2:42, 16 February 2012 (UTC)

If you think the info about the minor characters should belong in the parent article of the game, it should be mentioned there like you said. Rtkat3 (talk) 2:52, 16 February 2012 (UTC)

New to Wikipedia

Hello, I'm new to Wikipedia and I was wondering if you could read over my article and see if I'm writing in the right format or if there is anything that I could possibly improve on. The article is for Pokemon Stadium 2 and here is the link to my sandbox http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Geneticrebel/sandbox. Geneticrebel (talk) 02:00, 31 March 2012 (UTC)

I was wondering why can't I include the levels of the cups and what the names of the cups are? I feel like I'm just stating facts about the game, and in the Pokemon Stadium article the cups and levels are listed. I'm just confused about what the rules dealing with these types of things are.Geneticrebel (talk) 20:25, 3 April 2012 (UTC)

You may be interested in reading WP:VGSCOPE / WP:GAMEGUIDE. :) Salvidrim! 02:15, 4 April 2012 (UTC)

Hello old amigo

I haven't talked with another user in months! I was wondering: is there anything that is simple yet important I could do to improve any of your projects? Finding good, relevant information is difficult when it comes to video games, so I'm not keen on doing any major research. However, I want something to do on WP other than edit the stupid "gazillion things not to write an article about" page and tell IPs that "poop" is not original or funny.

Any ideas? Finalius (gibberings) 02:22, 5 April 2012 (UTC)
BTW: Have you played Black or White? If so, what's your prized team?

Umm, I guess if you really want to help something, Pokémon Stadium looks like a really easy article to fix up as it is in a horrible state at the moment. Sources should be somewhat easy to find for it, so you won't have to do "major research", they will just pop up. Or you could grab content for the Black and White Pokemon lists. As for my team, Serperior, Gigalith, Carracosta, Sigilyph, Hydregigon, and Chandelure. _Blake ^{(Talk·Edits)} 02:49, 5 April 2012 (UTC)

I feel old. When I was a kid I could name all the Pokemons. Now I don't know a single damn one out of these six. Salvidrim! 02:56, 5 April 2012 (UTC)

No worries, Salvidrim. And my team is (usually) Seismitoad, Zoroark, Archeops, Chandelure, Galvantula, Vanilluxe. Darmanitan, Klinklang, and Conkeldurr make guest appearances. Thanks, Blake! Finalius (gibberings) 03:12, 5 April 2012 (UTC)

I miss the golden days. My team was Zapdos, Nidoking, Starmie, Arcanine, Machamp, Alakazam. :( Salvidrim! 03:15, 5 April 2012 (UTC)

Note: it may be too old of a game to find reviews for, but it should have legacy stuff like "man, this used to be the best game". Not actually sure if it would be easy or not, I am just guessing. lol _Blake ^{(Talk·Edits)} 03:50, 5 April 2012 (UTC)

Pokémon Stadium should have plenty of reviews, IMO. Salvidrim! 04:05, 5 April 2012 (UTC)

Hey

I started thinking about it, and although I don't believe that pokemon (like persian) belong on the list of cats, if there are enough cat-like fictional animals we could create a list cat-like fictional animals. For now though, if you feel up to it, please consider adding the list of "cat-like" and other "X-like" animals under the appropriate sub-sections under List of fictional animals (other) if we get enough, we could have a whole new genre of lists covering fictional animals that aren't from earth. What do you think? Ncboy2010 (talk) 11:21, 6 April 2012 (UTC)

I would rather just keep the subject dropped. Although, if you do get something set up, I would like to see it. _Blake ^{(Talk·Edits)} 13:43, 6 April 2012 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for April 28

Hi. When you recently edited List of Pokémon (52–101), you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Float and Seel (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

RE: The "rv v" problem

Hi, I believe the issue here is I have tried to explain to the IP that this is not notable. The problem is that the IP constantly changes and thus has to be re-blocked for block evasion and persistent vandalism. The problem originally started with the IP warring against Niemti and Kung Fu Man despite talks on the talkpage (which the IP never joined), messages on his/her talkpage (never replied) and others. Even warnings were given repeatedly. Now I think that it is pretty obvious the person is just a persistent vandal refusing the pages to be redirected...for some reason no-one knows.

Genesect

By the way I hope I did not overstep my boundaries but I merged Pokémon Platinum to Pokémon Diamond and Pearl based on what I saw on the Platinum's talk page. Swifty*^talk 04:04, 10 June 2012 (UTC)

Then revert it lol. Swifty*^talk 04:20, 10 June 2012 (UTC)

Thank you for your contribution to the Genesect conversation I know it has been discussed in length more then once but I thought that giving it a wider view and giving people the chance to say Ya or Na can make it okay and persuade editors to revert anyone who post 649 instead of 648.
