It appears many of those are copied, yes. They have most of the same names as Bulb, but there's one I checked I was unable to verify because the dimensions and file size are different. Although the name is the same as Bulb, so it could be a screenshot or the image size shrunken or posted elsewhere. For example:  Pokémon Gamer  * 20:50, October 6, 2017 (UTC)

Re:Edits
Alright. If you are still missing some information (aside from the image), just tag them with the TCG stub template and I will try to add the missing information to the article. I am not sure though if I can help much with japanese names for the trainers since that's something the site doesn't really cover. If there is something else you have questions about (like with two Goldeen), let me know as well. I might be able to help out.--Lordranged7 (talk) 21:14, October 6, 2017 (UTC)

Re:Bot
Just left a comment. I saw though that your here link is linked to ThePokémonGamer instead to yours.--Lordranged7 (talk) 21:19, October 6, 2017 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I realized it was linking to my page instead. Also, I'm thinking about just changing the epicodes on the image file names linked on the Chronicles episode pages first and renaming it afterward. Even though they'll leave broken links, it is temporary until they are moved to the proper names and unlike Bulb's cache update issues, it updates automatically here. I'm doing it this way because it is more quicker and it's less likely to make me more lazy since all the links will have already been changed beforehand.

I'll sort out the images I uploaded later into categories. Is that okay? Silent Songbird (talk) 15:29, October 7, 2017 (UTC)

Could you please clean up the mess that I just created? The first image that I uploaded for Ryu, delete it. The second one named Ryu Tendo-0 should be changed to Ryu Tendo only. Lastly, Could you remove the category that has Pokemon instead of 'Pokémon ' in Ryu's Chimchar's image?

Re:TCG
Ah yeah, there is still some left~ I will start with that set as soon as possible.--Lordranged7 (talk) 18:52, October 7, 2017 (UTC)

Should have that done quickly since it only has 59 cards (unlike the other big sets). Can't get the images since the site doesn't have any yet but should be able to fill up the pages with information.--Lordranged7 (talk) 19:42, October 7, 2017 (UTC)

The GXs from Shining Legends (and other sets with GXs and EXs (mostly from XY series on) have multiple cards with the same name, same move(s) but with different different set numbers and artwork. Do you want them on the same page or seperate pages? I am fine with either of two options, so I am asking your opinion.--Lordranged7 (talk) 13:33, October 8, 2017 (UTC)

Yeah, there are multiple. I believe it is the Black and White sets, XY sets and (upcoming) Sun and Moon sets, not sure about the previous sets.--Lordranged7 (talk) 13:50, October 8, 2017 (UTC)

Alright. Altough, the Sun and Moon sets have Pokémon with 3 cards with everything the same except artwork and number. Can that be fixed as well with the template?--Lordranged7 (talk) 13:59, October 8, 2017 (UTC)

Alright, thanks! It is beyond me as well, they might as well have increase them if this continues. I did mean that they have 3 the same cards in the same set (not sure if I emphasized that enough, not wanting to have a misunderstanding).--Lordranged7 (talk) 14:10, October 8, 2017 (UTC)

Link
Nectaria's comment here contains a red link. Can you correct the link to The Legend of Thunder! (Part 1)? Even though the user right I have enables the deletion of it, her comment was perfectly okay so I don't want to get rid of it, I just want the red link fixed so it doesn't show up in wanted pages.

I also don't think we should create redirects for obscure terms of old page names that no one will look up. It's true that people may have the old term bookmarked or it may be in search results for a temporary amount of time, but as time passes, it becomes highly out of date, and the people who actually had it bookmarked is a very small minority, and the deletion notice when visiting the page title lists the log including the page name it was moved to. Which is why, even though Wikia's list of common mistakes list that as a common mistake, I don't see it the same way. Gravity Falls Wiki does not make redirects for obscure moved page titles that no one will look up. In comparison, people are actually more likelier to look up and link to episode codes, such as SM005 for SM005: Yo, Ho, Ho! Go, Popplio!, but anything no one would look up or link to is essentially useless as a redirect, and the old page name becomes more obsolete and less conformed with users over the passage of time. Edit: although I think it's okay to use PC redirects since we're also adding those as template listings too.  Pokémon Gamer  * 01:39, October 8, 2017 (UTC)
 * ...and a problematic user (who's already been blocked before, I'll add) added a fake birth and death year to Nyarth's page. (Update: I've finished renaming every single image, which was the most tedious part of it. Updating the red links will be quick and easy.)  Pokémon Gamer  * 01:59, October 8, 2017 (UTC)
 * I see. And yes, that's what I'm referring to - those (like evolutions) are redirects that people are likely to search and therefore the ones that search engines are likelier to pick up on the fact that people are searching for it.  Pokémon Gamer  * 15:37, October 8, 2017 (UTC)

Re:Lists
RA is probably Rare Ace Spec (Those cards have a special foil pattern, making their rarity Ace Spec), UR is indeed Ultra Rare and RS is probably Rare Secret/Secret Rare (the official numbering of that set is 101 and every card that has a number beyond that number are Rare Secrets/Secret Rares).--Lordranged7 (talk) 18:23, October 8, 2017 (UTC)

Discussions image upload
Hey Energy X

I wanted to let you know that we're about to release image upload for Discussions, and Pokémon Wiki be one of the first communities to get it! This is an active Discussions community and so we're interested to see what you think and what both web and mobile app users do with image upload.

The community can tell us here what they like and dislike about the new feature.

All images uploaded to FANDOM are reviewed within 24 hours and so "bad" images won't last too long. Admins and moderators will be able to remove images from posts as well, and of course Annabeth and Percy will be keeping a watchful eye on things. JPG, PNG and GIF will be supported.

Let me know if you have any questions! The feature will come to iOS, Android and web over the coming days. -BertH (help forum | blog) 22:43, October 10, 2017 (UTC)


 * Image upload is now available for web Discussions as well. One of the mods has also set up a drawing contest which is great! I hope some web users and editors participate as well. I am sure there are lots of talented artists in the editing community. -BertH (help forum | blog) 12:17, October 11, 2017 (UTC)

Series
I was actually opposed to splitting the series into Kanto and Jouto until I found the fact that TPCi's official website has official English names for each series. The Kanto portion (from season 1, episode 1 Pokémon - I Choose You! up to 11th episode of season 3 A Rivalry Revival) is named Pokémon the Series: The Beginning and the Jouto portion (from season 3, episode 12 Don't Touch That 'dile to season 6, episode 12 Hoenn Alone!) is named Pokémon the Series: Gold and Silver.

Bulbapedia is proposing all the series pages to be moved to their official English titles.

So yes, what you mentioned a long time ago could work and we can maybe name them by their official English titles. For example: Since the original version's numbering as a series has multiple subjective variants depending on the release - on the official Pokémon website, pokemon.co.jp, it's numbered 3 different series for Sekiei/Orange/Jouto leagues, on Amazon it's labeled as two "seasons", with the first season being everything Kanto and the second season being everything Johto. So I think we can have a main page titled Pokémon (Original Series) but split those into sub pages and rename all the other series to their official English titles (rather than fan-made estimates based on the Japanese titles).
 * Pokémon (Original Series)/The Beginning
 * Pokémon (Original Series)/Gold and Silver

I've also been thinking of listing episodes primarily by their series and not dub season, but the only opposition to that is that it would require a major revamp of several hundreds of episode articles to account for that. Since the original Japanese version is the primary original version of the series, it's rather unusual for us to be doing something based primarily on the dub. And saying things like "this season started/ended in Japan on [date]" or "an undubbed episode is in this season[...]" are actually inaccurate because the dubbed seasons do not exist in the original.

Doing this would get rid of speculation issues. For example, the iTunes description for Volume 4 (notice it doesn't mention the Satoshi/Hoshigumo meeting, though it mentions Alola however) and the volume number (which has only ever gone up to 4) and the episode number per that volume (which is likely 10, while the others were 11) is indicative that the 20th dub season ends on SM043, but we can't add that yet since it's not confirmed - still, it's highly unlikely it'll last to include SM049 so it's highly likely to be false, but there's too much unclear information about that - even if we're listing it under the latest announced season.

And yeah, even if we started doing this, we could still maybe list the dub seasons alternatively. Like "[episode title] is the [this number] episode of [this series], the [number] episode of season [number], [dub season title] in the English dub". But I think if we started listing it mainly on the series in the original (which is universally applied to every language of the show) rather than the dub (which is only applicable outside of the show's country of origin as well as Asia in general), then we could maybe list season episode lists and season episode numbers by the TV seasons endorsed by TPCi (for example, this) and listing the region 1 DVD seasons by Viz Media as well as the internet-based streaming seasons (used on iTunes, Amazon, Google Play, and Watch Disney XD), which mix between the TPCi and Viz Media seasons, as alternate seasons. We could maybe do "This character appeared in [state English series title]" and use bots to do a lot of the category work to mainly list series and list seasons solely as alternate dub-only episode divisions. Also, I've used AutoWikiBrowser before and it does allow editing of category pages.

For episode lists, it could maybe be named Pokémon (Original Series)/Episodes and follow that sub page format for other series.

It could maybe work like this, for Indigo League's example: "Pokémon: Indigo League is the first season of the English adaptation of the Pokémon anime and is the first season to cover episodes of the original series, and the first season to cover episodes of its first sub-divided The Beginning. It contains 52 episodes.

This season first aired in syndication, and as of The Problem with Paras, on Kids' WB! beginning with Pokémon - I Choose You! which originally aired on September 8, 1998 and ended with The Breeding Center Secret, which originally aired on May 1, 1999. It features the very beginning of the journey with Ash Ketchum and his Pikachu, accompanied by his friends Brock and Misty.

Viz Media alternatively divides this season into the a 79-episode arc, which begins with Pokémon - I Choose You! ends with Friends to the End. Internet-based digital home video versions of this season follow the same season numbering as that which is used by TPCi and region 4 DVDs, which is the production order used for the televised airing of the season."

And do others for "Pokémon the Series: XY (series)/Episodes", "Pokémon the Series: Black and White/Episodes", etc.

The seasons idea has actually been reflected in episode as well. Princess VS Princess, the first episode of season 2 as it aired on television and how it is endorsed by TPCi stopped using Pokérap and started using Pikachu's Jukebox, due to being a new season. The templates for characters and episodes can be made into series-by-series instead of dub season-by-dub season, but then refer to readers to links to the dub season pages (I think we can still use the Chronicles template, since it's a dub-exclusive series division). As opening themes have nothing to do with the produced seasons that are recognized by their television airing, production and by 4Kids/TPCi, nor does the arc/region 1 DVD seasons. Most of this would involve changing every page to expand the information to this, there's hardly any page moving involved. There's no need to worry about confusion, as anyone who is confused by the production format is someone who is confused by the official Pokémon format of English seasons - which have nothing to do with region 1 DVD seasons or opening song, as seasons 2, 4, and 6 had two opening themes officially as they aired on TV.

Notice that if sites like Serebii (which is taken as the Pokémon "bible" among several fans, which me and many others treat as just any other fan site on the internet) were to take steps to list the actual Pokémon seasons, those types of people would take it that way as Serebii has tons of influence on how some believe it as. Bulbapedia lists their episodes primarily by Japanese series but they only in recent years started listing episodes by their production formatted Pokémon seasons rather than the fan-made idea of "seasons".

Likewise, Beauty and the Beach was dubbed and aired twice, yes, but it is not apart of a season, it's only apart of the original series, there's a difference, TPCi does not recognize it as a season 1 episode because it did not air in season 1, it was only dubbed for a special TV airing that only aired twice. The episode pairs are only in the series they fall under (DP/BW/XY), not in a season except for XY141, as the 5 which are undubbed are not officially considered as such - the 5 undubbed ones are just standard episodes apart of the Japanese series run, not a season at all. Episodes that were dubbed for the original US run are the only episodes considered to be in a season, any episode that was not aired in an English-dubbed version (like IL035/IL038) is just apart of a Japanese series. Anything that's been officially revealed in Japanese could belong on the series page, including Japanese exclusive episodes, since the series episodes page could list it based on the Japanese division and the dub seasons pages can list it based on the dub division, and we can maybe wait until dub titles are revealed before adding the season for an episode.

Also, as for the red links on Chronicles, yes, I'm working on getting that dealt with, it's just that I've just gotten past the longest part of all, to rename all 26 episode images and fixing the image links. Fixing the red links scattered on many pages doesn't take nearly as long.  Pokémon Gamer  * 02:36, October 11, 2017 (UTC)
 * I know, it's just about there being an official English title for it, so I think that could be used if we use official English titles to name most things here that have been released in English. In Japanese, there's no official "series split" besides Amazon Prime's listings of "season 1" and "season 2", there's only separated arcs, making it unclear and generation could be different from series, however the English dub makes it clearer that it is still staying consistent with the generation. We go by amazon.co.jp Prime Video listings anyway so it shouldn't be a problem.
 * I won't do anything yet, the only reason I was hesitant to suggest that is because it would be something that would require updating several pages.
 * Amazon and other sites that sell them have images of the DVD's on their product listings - it's very easy to find them, although that page does require major expansion and it doesn't yet mention anything about the Japanese rental DVDs which will still need to add. I've actually added the discs 7-9 to the episode list of that old 2008/2009 or whenever it was released DVDs. I only own two box sets: Indigo League arc's season 2 portion and the whole Orange League arc. This is because of the time it takes to be shipped and I'd rather have legal access to every episode conveniently such as by purchasing on iTunes, having it on Hulu, or using Amazon to get them, using Pokémon TV's link trick to watch almost every episode legally for free, etc. (the only way to 'legally', I guess, have the Porygon episode is to find a VHS tape on the internet or just happen to find it from someone who taped it back then, though the quality would be best on a downloaded digital file, that's the only episode I'd rather get illegally, it's crazy that it's still banned by the companies [no, not the government...] to this day rather than modified and re-aired as controversies tend to narrow down over years and become obsolete issues, although I think it would still be possible for them to have dubbed and not released that one, given the details of Eric Stuart explaining it further than Meowth's voice actor did for the dub)
 * I guess we can also link to that DVD page on the dub seasons pages if we were to move the episodes to their series lists. In fact the region 1 DVDs are using an alternate format of seasons for seasons 1-6 that do not correspond to the definition of season on television in general at least in America: which refers to the amount of episodes produced for a year's batch for an airing on television - the arc, opening, and Viz Media season division has nothing to do with the main seasons used by TPCi, TV production, licensing, etc. and saying any undubbed episode or IL018 is in a season is inaccurate as well, as that's not officially the case. In American television usually, they can purchase a multi-year run for a certain amount of episodes, but in this case they are produced year-by-year. Yes, Viz Media considers full episode arcs as "seasons", yes streaming services such as TPCi's iTunes/Amazon uploads for seasons 1-6, or Watch Disney XD, vary between both formats - it has nothing to do with the ones that are produced for television, they are just modifications that are subjective as to how they are re-released. Therefore, the production format listed on TPCi's website is the standard version of a season that follows the definition of what a season is on television. Any claims made by TPCi such as "this season starts on [state date here] in Japan" are misnomers meant to pass off the show as an American or western cartoon (even though it is a Japanese animated cartoon), as that is TPCi's intended audience. The credits of an episode is the only place that recognizes that the show is originated from Japan in TPCi's viewpoint.
 * Australian DVD follows by the regular production seasons. Even though TPCi stopped listing the dubbed Jynx episodes (Holiday Hi-Jynx, Stage Fight, Mandarin Island), and they dropped the season from 52 episodes to 49, I think we can still list those with a note on the page saying that they stopped being listed later, because they still comply with the standard definition of a season as it was officially produced for the season, just that those 3 season two episodes are not recognized by TPCi anymore. I think if we do all this, we can list seasons on the pages by their produced episodes for the year, the primary format recognized on TPCi's website, Australian DVD, the television format, the format that is licensed out by TPCi, the format that is used commonly in other countries, etc., and add a note about their alternate DVD and internet digital video releases, the DVD always uses arc and internet-based digital releases swap between arc and season. 4Kids seasons were always 52 episodes each.
 * Of course, I'm not doing anything just yet - it's just about the mass amount of work that needs to be done to update the pages accordingly.
 * And yes, I'm pretty sure that worldwide there are DVD releases for seasons 1-19. I know in the US there are DVDs up to season 18. Not sure if there's any released for season 19 in the US yet.

 Pokémon Gamer  * 13:43, October 11, 2017 (UTC)
 * Oh, I see what you mean. Nah, I usually get my information from dub DVD releases I personally own by myself, I don't find this information from quick browsing on the internet. As of season 7, the episodes on DVD are exactly the same as episodes listed by TPCi - the previous seasons were all based on their arc on DVD, whereas TPCi lists seasons by the primary television format used by the production per year format. So we don't need to go into depth about the episodes available, unless there are any disc divisions but that's all. Likewise, pocketmonsters.net has a convenient listing of all the Japanese rental DVDs with their listing codes, so I can just check the code they list on a site that has a listing for them to see which episodes are on them.

Gotcha! I got really confused since most of the edits that your bot did, reverted Physiology to Anatomy while a few edits did the vice versa. Silent Songbird (talk) 22:04, October 14, 2017 (UTC)
 * Yes, but that would be more confusing because that would require trying to give a clear description of where on the page the text appears and which character says that line of dialogue, this way is actually easier (me typing out the text and listing the translation next to it) since it's easy to match them up by following the strokes of the kana/kanji characters and matching the ones I type with where it appears in the chapter. It's easier and takes less time than trying to provide a more thorough explanation that requires more attention to specific details to find what I'm talking about. Note that I am actually translating these without paying attention to context of the overall story of it, so doing it this way (typing the kana and kanji and listing a translation beside it) is easier.

Nickname
In SM047, Glazio referred to Type: Null as "Silvady", which is why the title says "Glazio and Silvady". But yes, this could be a type of nickname that refers to the potential evolution of it. As for the translations, yes I'm doing that but I'm currently focusing on getting images up for episode galleries. I'm rewriting all the SM034 image descriptions because I forgot to save the whole block of coding that I was intending to use but the images are all prepared.  Pokémon Gamer  * 23:30, October 27, 2017 (UTC)
 * Yes, it is too early to consider it a nickname, and I forgot to say this: Glazio refers to the Pokémon in the episode as "このシルヴァディ" (this Silvady). In the TV Tokyo summary, 『グラジオが「シルヴァディ」とよぶそのポケモンと、サトシはルガルガンでバトルすることに. 』 means "With that Pokémon that Glazio calls "Silvady", Satoshi does battling with it by using Lugarugan." So it's likely that it isn't even known within the canon of the show about what a Type: Null even is at this point, rather than intentionally nicknaming it, and the SM037 summary listed a voice credit for "Type: Null" (タイプ：ヌル＝櫻井トオル). With all this implicit evidence and speculation aside, it's obvious that the "Silvady" terminology used by Glazio and even in the title is knowingly intentional.
 * Therefore, would it be better to just mention every instance of Type: Null in the SM047 plot summary as "Silvally" with scare quotes? Because it is highly likely that the reason it's being called that is because the name Type: Null for the species hasn't even been properly introduced in the show, and the usage in the title and in the episode is clearly open and intentional given the Type: Null credit in SM037 yet the open reference to it as "Silvady" in SM047, so it's highly unlikely to be an animation mistake, and it is clearly how it is meant to be viewed in the canon for now, regardless of whether the episode's concept is a confusing mess about that. I think the whole Type: Null/"Silvady" thing will be addressed in a future episode. So while it is clearly a Type: Null and not a "Silvady", referring to it as that in scare quotes in the summary to equally and neutrally get the gist across that: a.) it's clearly not the Silvady species, and b.) that's how the episode is viewing it as nonetheless, is better. I'm fine with it being stated as "Gladion's Type: Null" in the template, however the full plot summary is more representative of the whole episode and referring to it as a "Silvally" (with "scare quotes" around it) rather than a Type: Null is this episode's equivalent of calling Kasumi in IL001 the girl because her name isn't properly introduced in that episode.
 * And yes, the only reason why Type: Null's Spanish and Italian names are different because they are translated into their respective languages though that is simply because "type" and "null" are standalone English words and it is awkward to call it that in Spanish and Italian, the reason why the Spanish and Italian names being the same as the English names rule doesn't apply here is because this name is more of a "description" rather than a language-neutral name with an English origin used in those languages and referring to it the same as the English name is awkward in that context. Every single other Pokémon has their Spanish and Italian names the same as the English one.

Pokedex Entries #2
hello there i have pokemon red and pokemon green entries but i seem absurd put pokemon green entries because thi is not in english ¿you consider neccesairy put pokemon green like others? ¿what is your opinion sir?

Episodes
Should we maybe have a section for "Titles in other languages"? Like how it's done on Pokémon pages, under the Trivia section? That's something Bulbapedia has that we don't, and there's no reason not to. I can search the official sites and international TV guides online for titles in those languages. And while I don't really have that much proficiency to the point of being able to manually do accurate translations for long texts like summaries from languages other than Japanese, there are titles that are very easy to just look up their words in dictionaries online and ones that are very easy to spot that it is a word in a different language like the Norwegian title for SM026 according to the official Norwegian Pokémon website: "Farvel, Sophocles!", and titles are generally short and easy to translate either way.  Pokémon Gamer  * 16:19, November 24, 2017 (UTC)
 * In which case, it's probably best to go to the Pokémon pages that are lacking the other languages and do those now.
 * And no, it didn't take me long to move the Chronicles pages and separate them differently, it was only the images since I had to go to those pages and change the name in the URL and then went back and changed all the links - the link-changing wasn't the issue, it was the image renaming that took up most of my time, which I probably could've done in one day if that's all I was focused on given that more work had to be done when naming the two Christmas episodes to the normal count [because that's what they are officially; not based on Bulbapedia's silly "specials" count merely based on the first Japanese airing which is the only instance in which it was a special, whereas all the reruns, international dubs, home video releases, etc. consider a completely standard episode with an official number in the series], and moving XY024 to its official number of XY050 because as long as both the dub and the original aired it in a same or similar order, which they did (and all official episode lists reflect), then as far as I am concerned that is the official number regardless of if it was "originally supposed to be there", so it wouldn't really make sense to stray from the official count and confuse people with mixed episode numbers, given that both episodes were officially renumbered.
 * As Bulbapedia does this, from my experience the way they take it is "there's nothing wrong with not having a complete list of titles as people can just add them in if they find any to make the list more complete and as more get officially revealed, but the more titles the better" and there's not many pages with quotes either but adding names in different languages for things is more fun to do than episode quotes.

Really annoying!
To be honest, if you ask me, moderating discussions is easy, until we have a lock and a delete option! But, To bear users grudges for moderators, isn't really easy... I'm understanding everything now, i was a local user on fandom once, and i too did insult moderators for a reason called -spam- that i knew, i have to take patience and Mods will do their works, whenever they get free time... Yesterday, i got angry on that guy... He never follow rules, that's why, i went off from everyplace. I checked out Shashanks' reply on someone's post, all i can say is, moderators aren't robots, who works 24*7, i have school as well, we are humans as well... Why don't users just report and move on other post whenever they see any useless/spammed/off-topic post? But, no... And for newbies, -they don't even know, how to check guidelines and continues their spam- nothing else! Thanks! Alain Sycamore (talk) 02:40, December 2, 2017 (UTC)

Energy, many things need to be clarified and talked about here. Here are those: 1) The Role of the executive: I believe that there should be more reforms in the rules section. Just telling them that x is prohibited would not work. I believe we should have a list of punishment being posted. The users also need to be told to contribute, as many socalled popular ones do not. 2)MOD REQUEST: As you have told, it seems as if I still have time before i become a mod, but at least would you please adjudge me as an enforcer?(Unofficially the enforcer of the rules. I will be active. Plus something has happened to Alain. What?) I believe that what I had posted on the post which might have irritated Saksham, was not any personal attack. It is obvious that the mods will be held responsible for whatever goes wrong. I myself became aggravated by seeing so many useless posts. So this is an apology. Please do convey.Shashank Singh 13:11, December 2, 2017 (UTC)professorshashank

Hello, I am Aile de Rose, and I would like to ask you some questions about the CSS, because I work in this field : -How did you put the discussion bar, ie Profile, Discussions, Blog, ect ... in blue and with a rounded shape? -And also, how do you put on the home page the "Featured"Pokémon "right? I have already tried, it does not work :(Did you know how to do it? With a code? Thank you for your answers.

The enforcer, as you pointed out,is not a right. But i want an offficial non-real right that grants me to remind people about the rules, which many people should do, but they do not. I would remind them, give "warnings" and try to enforce the laws. Plus,could you tell me how much chance is there of me joining the mods?

Wanted to tell...
Well, Sir, you clearly can see the difference in condition of Fandom, that was before and that is now. In the present of Harsh, Micah and me. Spams are limitless, we can't really stop "Spams" but yeah, we can delete such things, that spams. And it is really easy to clean such trash stuffs from discussions area. But, all what I see is, people still aren't getting anything... They will rarely show themselves and at the time, whenever someone spams, they thinks that mods will delete such post at exact time... And when a mod isn't available... "No, why? No mod was present there at the time" comments. Replies. Grudges on our work... Please, teach them, if they have a report option, then why wasting time/reply? They simply can report such post and can move on? Alain Sycamore (talk) 13:44, December 3, 2017 (UTC)

 * I gotta say the teaser is awesome, I looked at the date and can i say it's a common error  for them to make in Japan July 13th 2018. Should you tell them to switch the date around  to next year 2019? I mean here we are in December the 11th and they post that date wrong  sir laughing so you notice that i'm amazed while laughing anyway yeah nice teaser but wrong date So you notice that.Trainer Micah (talk) 00:27, December 11, 2017 (UTC)


 * The year's correct. The announcement at the end of movie 20 back in July told us we'll be getting another movie in 2018, with no trailer footage or anything until now. It's not "an error producers just routinely make in Japan". It goes consistently year by year. In July 2011 we got a movie, in July 2012 we got a movie, in July 2013 we got a movie, in July 2014 we got a movie, in July 2015 we got a movie, in July 2016 we got a movie, and in July 2017 we got a movie, and so on before that as well. This is every year now, and around this time of year MS019 was confirmed as well. There is no evidence pointing to MS021's release date being at any time in 2019.
 * (I've actually done galleries we're missing, just need to insert the captions in there and upload them).
 * As TPCi's official Twitter has announced that SM043 is the final episode of season 20 I think we should correct our season lists and have alternate lists based on the whole series altogether and have the episodes listed this way like Bulbapedia does. The reason is because not every episode is in a season - officially, the safari zone, Porygon, beach contest, ice cave, etc. such episodes are not apart of any season. And season 1 ends off at The Breeding Center Secret and season 2 begins with Princess VS Princess. Season 3 begins with Pokémon Water War and season 4 begins with Goldenrod Opportunity, season 5 with Around the Whirlpool, season 6 with Address Unown, season 7 with What You Seed is What You Get, and so on. Seasons when 4Kids produced the dub were 52 episodes exactly each, ignoring intro theme and plot.
 * It's just that Kids WB did not actually have season breaks which is why many of you assume season 2 begins with OI #1 when it actually began with IL052 and IL053, followed by IL057 and so on. This is why many channels around the world aired it this way, and the seasons are set in stone as the show is distributed this way - and the companies who purchase the show and the channels around the world air season by season, the seasons are set in stone and other countries will generally have breaks that separate the seasons making it very easy to remember where seasons actually began and ended.
 * And it isn't just the fandom - when Cartoon Network in early 2010 said they'll air Johto region episodes, someone in their headquarters likely believed the fanmade "opening = season" fan trash and aired season 3 - and as you know season 3 begins with OI026 so they ended up airing Orange Islands episodes as "Johto". Assuming CN actually knew what they were doing, they would've aired from season 3, episode 12 which is the first Johto episode of season 3.
 * Pokémon.com lists it differently for a reason - they list season 1 the same and season 2 beginning with Princess VS Princess, but because of how digital and streaming releases have to label each sub-series and have them consistently going season-by-season with all of a season's episodes fitting in only one series, they distribute the show this way to digital providers and streaming providers (such as Watch Disney XD and Netflix) and Pokémon TV does it as such. But to Viz Media and many television networks, they'll provide the standard seasons in the original format - still though where season 1 ends and season 2 begins is no different on the digital and standard releases. Viz Media released a Blu-Ray set of the standard season 1, so they included the 1998 syndication masters. These alternate digital release season packs only started to exist earlier this year when they started releasing remastered cuts of episodes such as season 1 being in HD, etc.
 * Viz Media releases most of their DVDs by arcs, so Orange Islands' DVD features 36/34 (depending on if the two banned eps are included) episodes regardless of which season they belong in, so it features eps from seasons 2 and 3 (I'm not talking about the digital seasons, since Viz releases the standard masters so they go by the standard seasons, whereas Pokémon TV, which goes by the standard masters, though they're a streaming service that labels the seasons by series so they do it the alternate way, the Australian DVDs and Disney XD India have released and aired according to the standard seasons throughout this year even recently too and only the digital releases use modified divisions that end off the series by ending off a season, they aren't the main standard ones, but they're still official)
 * See here - Viz Media released it as "Season 1: Indigo League" and includes exactly how many episodes I said were in season one - I Choose You to the Breeding Center ep, and not all the IL eps that take place in Kanto - like I said. While many English-speaking fans can make their own silly season divisions, they are neither correct nor official. The digital releases and the televised airings are official since they are both how the show is divided into season packs. Opening themes had nothing to do with seasons except for on seasons 4 and every season from 7 and later. Even then, many of our season lists are inaccurate - clip shows are not apart of seasons, and every company purchasing season 19 gets every episode from XY094 to XY141, not up until XY140 or XY142. There's no such thing as distinctions between "seasons in the original" and "seasons in the dub" - seasons are created by the dub and are meant for the distribution of dub episodes. I remember you told me this might not be a good idea - but people seriously need to know that seasons actually work this way and not the completely wrong way used by sites like Serebii and any site within the mainstream fandom.
 * Seasons 1-6 work like this:


 * Season 1 - Kanto OP 1
 * Season 2 - Kanto OP 1 + Orange OP 2
 * Season 3 - Orange OP 2 (depending on standard or digital release) + Johto OP 3
 * Season 4 - Johto OP 4
 * Season 5 - Johto OP 5
 * Season 6 - Johto OP 5 (depending on standard or digital release) + Hoenn OP 6
 * As of season 7, seasons and opening theme actually match making it easier to remember where seasons begin and end.
 * Lordranged7 agrees with listing the main standard season packs (which have been used even lately this year on several DVD releases, and channels around the world) and listing the digital and streaming releases' season packs in the opening paragraphs mainly because no digital release season pack includes the three banned eps which were pulled from distributions of season 2 in 2014. Lordranged7 finds it easier to list the 52 episode standard season and mention that 3 eps were banned in 2014, that way it's easier to manage. On the digital and streaming releases, seasons 3-6 share unique openings whereas season 1 is 52 episodes with season 2 having two opening themes. On the standard definition, seasons 3 and 6 also share two opening themes. Seasons are based on how the episodes are produced, aired, and distributed off to companies and those factors to determining a season's begin and end point trump opening theme, saga, whatever - just that opening theme and story arc only match the episodes distributed in a season as of season 7 and as of season 3 on digital and streaming releases. On the digital and streaming releases, WTP segments are omitted from episodes as well for seasons 1-8 and these digital and streaming release formats have only started existing recently and handle the series differently - it's best to note them in the opening paragraph and list the episodes consistently under the way 4Kids produced it, so as to keep the same pattern throughout. Bulbapedia's season pages use the television definition, as their page about the season concept says that the lists do not use the Pokémon TV/Watch Disney XD definition as their main definition.
 * Remember: Opening/journey/arc/saga/whatever =/= season. Only as of season 7 did 4Kids make a rule out of OP = season, and only as of season 9 did they stop trying to stick to exactly 52 episodes and TPCi ends off seasons at points that actually make sense rather than 4Kids' blind 52 cuts. If they ever run to a shortage of episodes at the end of a region, TPCi can do what 4Kids did and end off a region with the current opening theme and then change the opening theme during the season when we get to the next region's episode batch. Japanese order =/= season order therefore DP120/AG101/so on are simply not apart of any season.
 * Just from looking at this back when Bulbapedia was using these silly fanmade "seasons" based on openings, I can see many things wrong with it (https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=S01&oldid=1711297)


 * "Ash comes in the top 16 in the Indigo League, one bracket above his rival, Gary. (EP079)" - listing season two events as season 1
 * "The Indigo League season has seen release on VHS and DVD in the United States and Canada. " - again, the arcs were released; the seasons are 52 episode packs (or most of the time less than that as of season 7) that are distributed around the world and every network airs them; the official sources use the title of the arc that has most of its episodes; so that's why the official sources label season 1 as Indigo League but if you check the release you'll see it has 52 episodes from IL001 to IL057 excluding 2 episodes that were skipped over until season 2 and 3 banned ones that were not produced for any season
 * They also made a section about "how the Australian DVDs handled it" even though it is precisely the same as every channel around the world managing with distributed copies of the show for the past two decades and how those channels handled it, including in Croatia where season 1 began in 2000 and season 6 began in 2005 on a year-by-year basis, the German and Hebrew dubs in Germany and Israel actually had breaks in between seasons making them easier to remember where they began and ended
 * "With 80 episodes, this is the longest season of the dub yet." - despite the fact that there never was and never will be an 80 episode season, and the season is actually 52 eps just like many other seasons that use this number or one that is similar to it
 * "Holiday Hi-Jynx and Snow Way Out! are considered episodes of the season but are considered special episodes in Japan." - hilarious, those are season 2 episodes (the former is a banned season 2 episode), and the very first time they aired in Japan, they aired together as a separate special - yet the Japanese reruns, dubs, home video releases, and the like treat them as two completely standard episodes and the only reason they were given that special treatment aired on a Monday in the first place is because they were aired way overdue because of the Porygon incident. So in both the original and the dub they are completely standard episodes as opposed to specials. We corrected Bulb's mistake a few months ago by moving them to IL065 and IL066 on this wiki, as they are official episodes of the series, and it was originally aired as a special for a specific reason while having plans to re-release it as a standard episode everywhere else. Which is why the DVDs, and streaming/digital releases have them as completely standard episodes for everyone watching the dub throughout (rather than a special DVD release), and why Hulu and Netflix in Japan have them as apart of the series as episodes 65 and 66.
 * And yeah, it took Bulbapedia until April 2015 to get their season lists correct although they list region 1 DVD arcs as a season definition - those are story arcs, not seasons. The older Viz Media Indigo League box set erroneously labeled the volume 3 season 2 episodes of Indigo League as "season 1" on the packaging and this was fixed on later box set releases - simply put, the Indigo League VHS and DVD sets that don't release the season release arcs, which are official. The arc of Indigo League is IL001 to IL082, but season 1 is 52 episodes long, and our pages say season, not arc so they should reflect seasons, not arcs that fans conflate with seasons.
 * Yes it requires editing tons of pages but it is worth it given that many of our season lists are clearly wrong as I have thoroughly explained. I also have lists in my sandbox pages giving accurate lists of the seasons rather than what fans merely wished seasons were. The users who created the lists years ago like in 2011 didn't really care what seasons are (and that season 1 always has been and always will be a 52 eps season that begins with I Choose You and ends with the Breeding Center ep), and I am the first user on the wiki to join the wiki and know what seasons were. At least a user on this talk page knows it's a season 2 episode and not season 1. I'm not hateful, I'm just telling the truth about how seasons work (every other show you'll see they have seasons that have consistent numbers of episodes, on or around 12, 26, 38, 52, 60, or any other consistent number so the network has an average number of episodes to air every year) - it's just that seasons actually have a meaning in particular and anyone referring to every episode from IL001-IL082 should use a term like "arc" or "saga" which is more accurate towards what those episode groups encompass, rather than cause confusion for other fans because when networks announced season 3 and they started with OI026, they didn't know that what the network was advertising and airing was indeed correct (only digital and streaming releases begin the season with JE001, but the digital and streaming releases begin season 2 with Princess VS Princess just like the TV airings do, both the television airings and the modified digital/streaming releases are correct, official definitions but Lordranged7 and I find it easier to use the main television airings and mention in the opening paragraphs about the non-main modified alternate season divisions distributed to streaming and digital providers (because both are distributed as season packs depending on the release, just like release-dependent versions of episodes such as two versions using a ?/! marks on XY114's title card - so officially both definitions are seasons (before recently this year, both types of releases would use the same season definition, i.e. the television definition that's always existed since the very beginning of the show's adaption in the US), just that me and Lordranged7 feel that it would be easier to use the main syndicated definition (i.e., the definition Thingamajig lists here: https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/User:Thingamajig257/List_of_anime_episodes_by_syndicated_dub_season) in the list to stay consistent with the begin and end dates and to mention Holiday Hi-Jynx, Stage Fight and Mandarin Island in the season as well and I have my own lists on here like Thingamajig has in the aforementioned link)).
 * (edit; additional note) I found this and this bumper on Kids WB that advertised season 2 and it aired back when the Indigo League title episodes still aired; the clips were mainly episodes of season 2 that are apart of the Indigo League OP theme title. So yes, seasons and titles are two different concepts. Since TPCi has already confirmed that When Regions Collide! airing two days ago was the final episode of the 20th season, so I think we should correct our season lists to fit what season means officially and not the fanmade opening = season nonsense and make different lists for the full series to list episodes conveniently like how Bulbapedia does it - this has nothing to do with copying Bulbapedia's idea, just that there's no point in listing wrong information such as season 2 beginning with the OI001 (despite the fact that officially season 1 does not mean every ep under the IL code) and this is the only way I can find to list it correctly.

 * And additionally, there are official names of series too such as Pokémon the Series: Black and White and Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire. The gen 1 and 2 series are called Pokémon the Series: The Beginning and Pokémon the Series: Gold and Silver. These official names did not exist until XY - but then there's a series called Pokémon the Series: XY and Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon, and seasons called that as well - (series) and (season) can maybe be used to distinguish those.
 * How we can maybe do the split Ash Ketchum pages:


 * Ash Ketchum/Advanced Generation --> Ash Ketchum/Ruby and Sapphire
 * Ash Ketchum/Original series (Kanto and Orange Islands) --> Ash Ketchum/The Beginning
 * Ash Ketchum/Original series (Johto) --> Ash Ketchum/Gold and Silver
 * As for defining what is what, it's actually official:


 * Viz Media's normal releases - based on arc, regardless of season (thus Indigo League box set contains eps from seasons 1 and 2), and arc =/= season
 * Season - how many episodes they distribute in a pack
 * I believe it's best to use standard seasons as the main season definition (such as season 3 beginning with OI026) rather than the remastered release definition as it complies with the start and end date and are still officially used - for example Viz Media's BluRay release of season 1 is a release of season 1, not arc #1 Indigo League, so it contains the first season's 52 episodes and not the arc's 79 (or 78 if the banned IL065 one isn't counted) episodes, since they use the standard definition, the eps are not in HD though instead in BluRay formatted quality with the original 4Kids cuts of the episodes. In 2014, it was decided to cease distributing IL065, OI010, and OI019 (they distributed it regularly before, just that the official site left out any pics of Rougela/Jynx, and Pokémon TV's rotations ignored those eps long before they banned them completely) - although they distributed the episodes regularly before without any problems. Any country that had the episodes dubbed before they were banned still airs the episodes in those languages, but the local Pokémon.com websites there don't mention those eps. So DVD releases use the standard masters which means they use the standard seasons. (Even the remastered copies of season 1 still have it end at The Breeding Center Secret and season 2 beginning with Princess VS Princess, so opening does not always equal season on those seasons). And yeah, the Watch Disney XD header now lists SM043 as "SEASON 20 FINALE!" so that's another official source confirming it.
 * In other words I think we should do this based on syndicated seasons rather than digital release seasons, as there are official distinctions between this (DVD and TV airings appear to use the standard seasons as seen by releases that have occurred this year, and the only reason why Watch Disney XD, Netflix, and Pokémon TV use the digital release seasons is because they use the HD masters which are available for purchase on Google Play, iTunes, and Amazon Video, which is why for example they don't have the WTP segment, however where season 1 ends and season 2 begins is the same on both types of releases so either way it is wrong to say season 2 begins with OI001)
 * These are the syndicated television seasons for the 4Kids ones, which are 52 episodes exactly each (for the purpose of listing which episodes are in which season on the pages, it would be easier to list this definition):


 * Season 1 (IL001-IL017, IL019-IL034, IL036-IL037, IL039-IL051, IL054-IL057)
 * Season 2 (IL052-IL053, IL058-IL082, OI001-OI025)
 * Season 3 (OI026-OI036, JE001-JE041)
 * Season 4 (JE042-JE093)
 * Season 5 (JE094-JE133, JE135-JE146)
 * Season 6 (JE147-JE158, AG001-AG040)
 * So as for strictly defining what a season is as for what to use on the pages, it would be easier to use the 4Kids definition, the one used on the standard original 4Kids masters as the main definition to comply with the begin and end dates of the season (and note that the digital release definition is only modified in the sense of which episodes belong in seasons 3, 5, and 6, so it is still wrong to say that season 2 begins with OI001) - when we got season 2 in 1999, it began with Princess VS Princess and ended with Charizard Chills, not OI001-OI036 which is why Kids' WB ran a bumper saying IL052 was the "season premiere" of the next season at the time, not OI001. For listing the seasons on the series page for Gold and Silver it wouldn't be difficult:


 * Pokémon: The Johto Journeys (Season 3)
 * Pokémon: Johto League Champions (Season 4)
 * Pokémon: Master Quest (Season 5)
 * Pokémon: Advanced (Season 6; until JE158)
 * You'll see that Kids WB aired the first episode of every season on a date in either August or September, because of the summer break reruns that would wrap up on the conclusion of a season and the beginning of the next one, so for example:


 * IL001 - September
 * IL052 - September
 * OI026 - August
 * JE042 - August
 * JE094 - September
 * JE147 - September
 * AG041 - September
 * AG093 - September
 * And yes, these are according to the official seasons, not the fanmade "opening = season" nonsense. You can see that since 4Kids created consistently numbered seasons, Kids WB aired in August or September, and used a consistent number of episodes throughout that year. They didn't do season breaks, but they did summer breaks where another season would begin in autumn (August or September). So season 2 did not begin in the December month of winter nor the new year during the January month (contrary to what misleading unofficial fansites claim), but it began in the fall. The digital releases which define seasons differently apart from the main definition (which is also correct and official) also consist of episodes from months near fall (between August and November 1st) and contain consistent episodes between around 40-60.
 * As for naming conventions and the history of the arcs and seasons:


 * 4Kids created opening and arc names as names of arcs; seasons are 52 episode divisions and are a completely different concept. Just that later releases added the names of the arcs to seasons, but that doesn't change how seasons are divided episode-wise. So Pokémon: Adventures in the Orange Islands first appeared on Viz Media releases to indicate OI001-OI036, which includes episodes from seasons 2 and 3. This name was later added to refer to season 2 so the name "Pokémon: Adventures in the Orange Islands" is also used to refer to IL052/IL053 and IL058-OI025 (season 2) but if you check that release you'll see it begins with IL052 and not OI001 - I think it's just to give every season a name, even if the season doesn't fully match those titles - for example, the first 12 episodes of "Season 6: Pokémon Advanced" say Master Quest (as in the arc) in the episodes themselves, but they're still season 6 episodes.
 * Likewise, the names "Pokémon: Indigo League" and "Pokémon: Adventures in the Orange Islands" did not exist until DVD releases that gave the arcs those names. As I've said, officially season names and arc names are the same, but seasons and arcs themselves are different.
 * As for DVDs, those are strictly defined as arcs officially (per Dogasu's comment at the bottom of this thread page and the only reason why iTunes has season 6's pack begin with AG001 is because it is a release for Ruby and Sapphire. The first 12 episodes of season 6 are episodes of the Gold and Silver series as seen on releases that label the series, and it is not a release of the Gold and Silver series. You can see it has 3 volumes (where as the first 12 episodes of the season apart of a different series make up the missing volume) whereas seasons 7-9 use 4 volumes because all episodes of those seasons are apart of Ruby and Sapphire.
 * That said, I think if we're going to use accurate season lists rather than the fanmade "arc/theme song = season" nonsense, we should list the syndicated television seasons (which for season 1 and the first 49/52 depending on if the banned ones are counted is the same on digital releases) and list all the pages by the television syndicated seasons, and mention on the opening paragraph that digital releases use a different definition (which didn't exist officially until digital releases of the show even existed). The lists we're using are not only wrong, they're wrong and inconsistent - seasons 1 and 2 are divided based on when the original version changed the opening theme, but the others are based on when the dub changed the opening theme. And yeah, digital releases use the remasters for their season pack releases, but they use the standard season masters for the Pokémon Collections releases that contain a few episodes, such as this one from I believe 2016 and this one released back in February.
 * When listing seasons on the episode pages and the season page's episode list (such as in the infobox and on the page that counts which number in that season it is), I think we should use for 4Kids seasons the "52 episodes as presented on TV" definition and list differences in the seasons licensed out to digital and streaming release providers (such as Watch Disney XD) in the opening paragraph of the season pages only, if we have to strictly define with that is. Digital releases of the full seasons have only existed as of this year, which is why the digital and streaming releases use the HD masters with different seasons, but I think those can be mentioned in the opening paragraph (the season 1/season 2 split is still the same on digital releases).
 * So the "multiple official definitions" thing isn't that much of a problem. The Viz Media DVDs use arcs and not seasons except for their BluRay release of season 1, so the "Orange Islands" box set includes OI001-OI036, even if it includes season 2 and 3 episodes as they use the standard masters, so Viz Media has to purchase seasons 2 and 3 to make an Orange Islands box set. The Australian sets including the seasons 1-19 set that costs a few hundred in USD that was released in November 2017 uses the standard seasons and not the digital seasons that were introduced earlier in the year on Watch Disney XD, and so do the other Australian DVD collections. This is why season 2 on the Australian DVDs starts with Princess VS Princess, season 3 with Water War, season 5 ends on You're a Star, Larvitar and season 6 begins with Address Unown. Because not all seasons share a unique opening theme to that season. As another user has pointed out back in 2009 when this was discussed on another forum's thread, that user said, "it tends to matter more to the general fan where the episodes are licensed outside Japan and the US" - any channel airing season 2 around the world began with IL052, and that's where the season begins - a season does not always begin with the first episode to change to a different opening theme, which is what many fan sites are horrible at taking account of. On digital releases which use the alternate non-main definition, this applies to season 2. On the standard television releases (which are the main definition distributed by the Pokémon Company international to TV companies and DVD providers, and the one I suggest using as this wiki's definition of seasons), this applies to seasons 2, 3, and 6. A season begins with the first episode distributed in a season pack (which is how the show is aired on TV), not with the first episode to change an opening theme of a particular show. The first episode distributed in the season 3 pack only to digital and streaming providers is JE001 and they remove the WTP segments from those releases because they don't show up on digital or streaming releases. Likewise, when the wiki refers to season, I think we should use whatever networks around the world air it by (i.e., season 3 beginning with OI026), and that doesn't change the fact that digital and streaming releases still begin season 2 with IL052, so saying season 2 begins with Pallet Party Panic, A Scare in the Air, or any other episode that is not Princess VS Princess is silly and clearly wrong, because all of the two definitions begin season 2 with IL052.
 * So overall I think the TV airings how it should be defined when it comes to these seasons to comply with begin and end dates of season and not have to swap things around with the dates of airing and the episode listings being inconsistent - the TV airings is the only definition to include IL065, OI010, and OI019 since as seen by Pokémon TV ignoring those episodes before they were banned, streaming and digital releases such as Pokémon TV, iTunes, and Watch Disney XD do not include those episodes, only the TV airings (except for those in India, which were distributed after those were retroactively banned from licensing out as of 2014, but Disney XD India did reruns of season 1-5 this year and used the standard television definition, so this definition is still used on TV and DVD releases).
 * It's also easy to tell where the television airing seasons begin and end because the opening theme's usage in the end credits was shortened when 4Kids came back from a season break to produce another season so they shortened the opening theme and got to the next arc when producing the season. For example, You're a Star Larvitar used the Master Quest OP and is the final ep of the 5th season and Address Unown, the first season 6 ep used a shortened version of the Master Quest OP in the credits. Same goes for the Orange Islands opening theme being played normally until OI025, the final ep of season 2, and then being shortened in the credits for OI026, the first ep of season 3, and all other instances of this happening.
 * Thus, it's best to use the original 4Kids definition (the version aired on Kids WB that aired during the first run of the seasons and how channels around the world do it), that definition of seasons to specifically define season on the wiki's lists otherwise if we used TPCi's digital release definition, it won't match the begin and end dates of the season. And on both official definitions, season 1 has 52 episodes anyway.

 * (In addition to what I wrote above, sorry if I already mentioned the official English titles in the comment before that and am just merely repeating myself. There's also an official count of the overall episodes in the whole show from 1997 until now that we could use instead of blindly judging such overall episode numbers by ourselves, though I'll explain more about that when I have time. Our episode numbers are just one off the official count and I think there's something we can do so it balances perfectly with that official count revealed in the TV Tokyo 1,000th episode event.)
