Thread: Suggestions, ideas, and problems

I've been thinking about what I just said. And upon reading the feedback here, I've realized that I've been thinking a little too far backwards with it.

Because of that, I ended up digging a hole for myself and I sincerely apologize for all the annoyance and offense it caused.

One way to confirm this would be to use an action replay to change the Rock Head Basculin's gender to female (since the traded one is always male) and breed it with another pokemon (barring Ditto) to see if the ability is passed on to the offspring (since you can do that with Hidden Abilities).

I'm pretty sure it's neither a normal Ability nor a Hidden Ability. I think it's just an 'event' Ability - one that has been specifically designated rather than determined by the personality value.

Hello. I was just wondering if it would be easy to hide the Pokemon/moves/TM/HM lists from each generation for each category. The way it is now involves a lot of scrolling through previous generations of lists, so it might be good to add some way to clear up screen space for the info you're looking for. Something already like this is in the show/hide tag in the Table of Contents on each page, so it shouldn't be too hard to copy over the same function. I hope this is a useful suggestion.

Someone is currently working on a way to greatly shrink down the move pages :)

I have a suggestion. Is it possible to put which DW abilities have been made available to the public? Because I had no idea that there were any that hadn't been released yet and, when I posted asking for some, it got moved to the hacked center because they hadn't been released. It would probably help with the confusion. I know I was confused. :P

Not sure where to put this so i'll just stick it here for now.

It was brought up that there seems to be some conflicting information between two pages. Roost, and Skarmory's moves through breeding section on Skarmory's page.

It stats on Skarmory's page that it learns Roost through breeding with the Pidgey line in both gen 4 and gen 5, while Roost's page stats that Skarmory may only learn Roost via TM in gen 4, and DW Skarmory, and not at all via breeding in gen 5.

A poster, named Emevk, here, stats that they tried breeding for a Skarmory with both Roost and Whirlwind, but that Skarmory was only coming out with Whirlwind despite their Pidgeot father having learned both moves prior to breeding. They did not state what gen they were breeding in but based on their results it would seem to be gen 5.

Would it be possible to have someone look into this?

Would a page on Andrew Hartpence be appropriate for Bulbapedia I wonder, or is this something we should just leave on NWiki? Here's the stub over there. Interested in others opinions.

Can the egg move template be updated to include a symbol (like a dagger/†) for moves that require TM use in a previous generation? This is really common in Black/White right now.

He's a TPCi staffie; why not?

The problem with I am having with the new forum system is that when I post a visitor message, it does not show up on my screen and only when I created a separate tab and look at it from there the message is there. Also another problem is that I could unintentionally post numerous copies of the same message multiple times unknowingly.

Wrong thread. You need to ask this in a BULBAGARDEN help forum, not a BULBAPEDIA help forum. Try the Garden Grotto.

I apoligize, I didn't know.

Chatot's page mentions a few times that parrots can't understand what they say, but this is patently untrue. Anyone who owns a talking parrot can tell you that, and there's research to back it up (look up the Alex experiments and you'll see what I mean).

me again..

I don't know if this is exactly needed, but i noticed that Castform's bulbapedia page is missing a Held Items section, and i know for sure that in Emerald (and in the wilds of D/P/Pt) it comes holding a Mystic Water. Could someone type up a chart thing for that? I know it's not high priority but it would add to the page's completion. And i also couldn't just add this lil tidbit to its talk page as i seem to not have enough permissions/be in the allotted user groups to edit it's discussion page.
