Thread: Suggestions, ideas, and problems

Thanks. Didn't see that.

I have a couple of ideas.

1) When you paste text into the post box to post on a thread, the text should stay in the same format as it was when first typed. This is a problem for typing fanfics, as when you type something in a different program, for me Microsoft Word 2010, it's very annoying when you paste the text into the post box and have to reformat everything from spacing to italics, bold and other things.

3)Also, I found that the tab button doesn't work in the post box. Maybe you could fix this to make it easier to indent paragraphs?

This thread is for Bulbapedia suggestions. As indicated by it having the prefix "BULBAPEDIA" and being in the bulbawiki forum.

Oh, sorry I didn't notice..

I realize that this is probably too much to ask for, but I really would like to see more work being put into the Pokemon Pocket Monsters articles, even if its just improving the current articles or sections. I've been doing some improvement work myself, as difficult as it is since I've never read the manga (but would love to) and am instead going by the current articles we have. In short, improving by what little I have.

I realize how hard it is though, since the older volumes of Pocket Monsters are probably really rare by now, and not everyone has access to them or to the Singapore releases. But yet, I see scans being uploaded, short summaries of events being added in character articles (the gym leader articles mostly), and so on, and even with those, the chapter articles are still quite lacking. It's a little disappointing, but still quite understandable why.

Edit: Also, shouldn't Isamu Akai's Pikachu be added to the character template since he too is also a regular? Clefairy is there.

And why hasn't anyone considered moving Mewtwo (Pocket Monsters) to Blue's Mewtwo yet? It does belong to Blue.

Alright, after noticing the Mr. Psychic page, I noticed that there had to be a better way to deal with TM givers/TM locations. As such, I propose 2 ways to deal with this:

1. We make a page just for locations of TMs, and/or people who give them. This way all of the information for TMs is one place, and there is a page just for it. Could be named "List of TMs by Location"?

2. All of this information is integrated into the TM page, perhaps in the TM list given in the collapsible list or in a section of its own. This one could make the article seem a bit lengthy, but it'd keep all of the convenient info in one page.

3. Keep it the way is now.

Those are what I can think of. If anyone can think of a better suggestion for this, please do.

List of TM and HM locations

In regards to the Mr. Psychic conflict,

Don't we have other NPC articles that could also be considered just as "not notable enough"?

i would say an article featuring all NPCs who give out specific TMs (like Mr. Psychic, the celeb lady who gives HM02, etc), or just integrate those people into the articles of the locations they exist at.

Is there really that many NPCs that give out TMs? I can barely name five.

I suggest an article naming all named NPCs and describe what they do/what they give out.

I meant that there are other minor NPC articles on the wiki, and not just those who give out TMs.

Webster comes to mind.

Oh no, there are many of those, from the person outside a flower shop in Emerald who gave out the TM Bullet Seed, to the person in the Musical who gives out the TM Echoed Voice, and the fighter in DP (maybe Platinum as well) who gives out the TM Payback. It's just collecting them all.

Wow, I never knew that existed. Thanks Force Fire.

I've noticed that there are far too many individual threads saying "Hey Pedia dudes I can has good idea." Let's make it simple for both the people who post the ideas and the people who look at them.

Hey, I don't know if this is a glitch, but I have caught a under leveled Arbok (it's at level 10) on route 3 in Soul silver. just letting you know.

i've caught a lvl 10 Arbok on route 4 in Soul Silver. I don't know if this is a glitch or what.

(I posted on here earlier, but now i can't find my reply! anyway, it's route 4, not 3, if you see my previous reply)
