Thread: Suggestions, ideas, and problems

However, I think about like this: Pokémon are similar to the animals of our world. Many of them are similar because they may share a common ancestor, like the animals of our world, causing some of them to be similar to others.

Then again, it is just an idea and I do not feel like "campaigning" or debating in detail over it.

Those are already detailed in the Pokemon's Origin section in their own articles.

Plus it'd be cool to see a blurb about, say, the Ice Path in Johto being based on the Narusawa Ice Cave near Mt. Fuji.

You mean like this page?

That makes sense.

I suggest that we have question section on this forum.
Cause I have question what defines what a trainer specializes in? I knew Steven Stone was steel specialist but he had just as many rock types(well his first emerald team changed that). I assumed that was defined by show/games/mangas calling them a specialist of that type. But forgot when he was called a steel specialist(i just found the trainers eyes part proved it but it was a bit irritating) What defines the Striaton Bros as specialists (I'm sure they will have more grass fire and water types in gray but what about now). sorry to bother you.

*moved to Bulbapedia thread from Bulbanews thread*

Steven Stone was a Steel Specialist because the Trainer's Eyes in Emerald said he was a Steel Specialist, as you noted.

The Striaton Bros are classified by the type of their monkey, their design, and their dialogue.

Did I really put it bulbanews. (facepalm) thanks.

Growth (move) - Bulbapedia, the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia The "Variations of the move Bulk Up" is shown at the bottom of the page, but Growth itself is not included.

Because it also lists Pokemon designs (and characters) who have been alerted, and therefore technically still 'released'. Prototype would be a better name for the article, as it can easily refer to both.

Quoting myself because I don't think anyone noticed...

That is not a bad idea. Any objections?

no but who am I to object (Conway laugh). I like it

Changed. Now that Growth raises two stats it is indeed a variation.

Is there a certain process I have to do when marking an article "It's been suggested that this article be renamed to... so on, so on."? Of course, I'd also have to mention about it in the talk page too, that's a given.

Simply place {{move|}} on top of the page. This automatically places it in the category "Candidates for moving". So for what I anticipate you are planning to do, add {{move|Prototype Pokémon and characters}} to the top of the page.

Look again, Munchlax is listed. They're listed in numerical order, not in evolution order.
