Viz Media update
Just to let you know VIZ Media has begun re-releasing the regular Pokemon Adventures volumes in digital format. They are releasing them by saga between July-December 2018. Here is the original source. Also the release dates for the digital versions and the eISBN codes can be confirmed through VIZ's website via the individual pages such as this sample. Also while Vol. 1-7 is out now, the digital release for Vol. 8-14 is confirmed for this upcoming Tuesday. -Adv193 (talk) 16:27, August 24, 2018 (UTC)


 * Thank you and just so you know the release date information can be sourced and the eISBN codes can be sourced through Viz's website from their individual pages. Also for the news I am only going to refer to other places that sell the digital copies as associates such as ComiXology or Amazon Kindle. Once the R/S digital releases come it, it will be time to check the site again for more release dates, especially since two sagas (FR/LG and Emerald) will be coming out in October and not determined yet if it will be on the same date. -Adv193 (talk) 17:38, September 1, 2018 (UTC)

What are you even referring to here? As for how I watch the episodes, I use my own legal method of watching the channel that the series is aired on, and I don't have knowledge of any Twitch streams under my purview anyway since I don't use Twitch or any online website stream to catch the new episodes as they air (although I know someone on here who I think does do that), and since the online streams on these video streaming websites are fanmade and illegal, they are minutes off from what's currently being broadcast (they're generally 3 minutes behind from my experience) and have been down in two instances when new episodes were airing (in early XY&Z). For example, an episode for the next 2 weeks airs at 6:55 PM JST on Thursdays - those online streams start at 6:58 PM as such. It wouldn't be useful anyway if you're watching it from Japanese television (TV Tokyo and its affiliates within the regions of the country [e.g., TV Osaka, TV Aichi, etc.] is among the basic set of channels) which is the actual intended way you're supposed to watch it anyway. Anyone else, as far as the law and official methods of watching the series goes, is supposed to wait for the local dub for their language to air in their own country.

(As you might not already be aware, this whole theme of western fans of the series watching the Japanese version began around 2002 during late Jouto when torrents began circulating online of the original versions and it had soon become common knowledge how to find them and they decided to just do it that way by illegally downloading Japanese episodes of the show from the other side of the world instead of waiting a whole year for the US or their own country to air it.)

It's true however that I am active on monitoring Japanese websites for news (which the general layman side of the English speaking fandom is full of users ), and the extreme minority of those in the English speaking fandom who do know Japanese know where to find this stuff. (On another topic, that "Serena comes back to Alola" rumor found online from a long time ago if you still remember that, is from a Spanish troll report on a blog post somewhere that was written before the cast of the series was announced and the earliest traces I've been able to dig up of it are from August 2016. Of course it's just fanmade nonsense, or else the writers would've hinted that it was going to happen somehow.)

Anyway, I know of only one user on Twitter and a few places elsewhere who knows how to stay up to date with the 2ch threads and to be honest, who doesn't know Japanese and openly admits to using Google Translate and noticeably uses literalist translations (he's the source of Bulbapedia's factually and grammatically nonsensical translation of XY098's title, which entirely misunderstood the meaning of "yume [w]o miru") so anything he says regarding what the news reports in Japanese should be taken with a grain of salt to be honest. Machine translators, like Google Translate which that Twitter user goes by, produce low quality results and are highly likely to be wrong to some degree most of the time, especially when there's puns or spelling corruptions [like the "tough fashionable old guy" fashion style referenced in some title of an episode aired earlier this year] used in the titles or when it translates Japanese language text written by native Japanese users online because they use a lot of slang netspeak sentence patterns, native level sentences, and when there's occasional spelling mistakes. Those like me with dual language proficiency catch that kind of stuff when translating almost all of the time, whereas computerized translators such as Google Translate almost always screw up with that kind of thing. (And of course, posts of Google Translated texts on the wiki's Discussions by users who don't know Japanese, and any misinformation that results from it, as far as I'm concerned, counts as a nonsense post and should be deleted as such whenever found, as it usually leads to tons of otherwise unnecessary and annoyingly stressful corrections by those who actually did understand the dialogue and know what the Japanese text or spoken dialogue actually says, in addition to endless corrections of the kind of misleading guesswork that results from it)

tl;dr I don't use a Twitch stream or anything streamed on the web for any of the new episodes I watch, so I can only recommend users who do not know of a way to watch the new episodes to have the interest to seek their own way of doing it or wait for their own country to air it (such as to have a Japanese television set with the basic channels or to feel lucky if they actually live in Japan themselves). We don't need to link to a third party illegal stream of it and make an exception to the rule just to cater to the fact that the vast majority of the users on here do not know of a legal way to watch TV Tokyo. However, it would be notable if it was an official live stream (XY001 I remember was screened early in advance on a livestream on niconico video from an official website according to the Japanese wiki and they do cite a reliable source)  Pokémon Gamer  * 22:26, September 1, 2018 (UTC)

It's this one. And it's the English language version of the series, not the original.

I'm investing more of my time in producing 8K quality, 60-frames-per-second YouTube videos (4320p) and monitoring 2chan (2ch.net) for news regarding the original version which I know how to find (and I've never had any unawareness of where to find that type of news, unlike most users on this wiki like I've said before), so these days I spend little time finding information from anything relating to the English speaking fandom. 2chan users didn't report this because they focus on the original episodes without caring much about what's happening relating to the series in foreign western countries.  Pokémon Gamer  * 20:39, September 2, 2018 (UTC)
 * And it appears that Lordranged7 already posted the link.
 * Anyway, the title for the September 13th episode isn't revealed yet. I can see why this is the case if they're intentionally trying to avoid spoiling it, on Thursday at 12 AM JST a new cast list is posted on the TV Tokyo timetable website which may end up giving the title. Episodes without a known title, in addition (regardless of whether they have an air date and summary), are not notable to have an article of at this moment.
 *  Pokémon Gamer  * 20:47, September 2, 2018 (UTC)
 * The only reason why I haven't is because I avoid using torrents whenever possible these days (which have a higher risk of being traced and caught than most of you seem to think). Hulu introduced a DRM a long time ago so any screenshot from its video player shows as a black picture. The person I've been account sharing with on Watch Disney XD has also downgraded their TV subscription which would mean I can't access Pokemon content on there. Netflix Japan has episodes, however they remove older episodes of the series and it takes a long time to buffer for it to display high quality. I've been longing about getting Amazon Prime Japan, though I already have the American Amazon Prime (and I would need to use my gift card money on Instant Video episodes if I wanted to do that, which I'm not willing to waste just for this purpose) and I would have to manage costs. That's why I've been resorting to monitoring Japanese sources for news on the series. (or working on YouTube gameplay videos, which are much more effortful and time consuming than screenshotting episodes and I actually get paid for it if I partner with an MCN in the future...especially since I upload in 8K resolution and am focusing primarily on uploading Rock Man/Mega Man games in preparation for MM11's release on the Switch, which I can record with Elgato Game Capture HD, my capture card I use for modern home console games that don't have good emulators yet, which means I could do gen 8 though I'm unable to do gens 6 or 7 because I don't have a capture card).


 * The best way to get pics for those episodes, honestly, is to go to Amazon Prime co.jp, register for a subscription fee, go to their Pocket Monsters sections for HD episodes, and run it in fullscreen. Their HD quality is the best and they don't have any network logos, any on-screen text, nor do they remove segments that were removed in the first airings (except for the jikai otanoshimini [see you next time] five second clip tags that are shown on rerun broadcasts and Hulu.co.jp; most torrents of the series are based on the first airings anyway, the SM ones seem to be done by a guy who does logo removal). Prime is paid, but that's expected since it's a legal source and as far as legality goes, if anyone wants to watch it on demand, if they don't pay for a licensed VOD service or have the episodes taped or something, they shouldn't even be allowed to watch the episodes of the Japanese series via playback methods in the first place anyway as far as it is legally speaking. As far as movies and Planetarium specials go, the only way to watch their live screenings (other than waiting for foreign dubbed versions of the movies, or the movie reruns on TV Tokyo) is the painstakingly obvious "move to Japan" solution neither you or anyone else is willing to go through the complications of, though it's something I'd probably do someday (the easiest working visa is English teacher, however I doubt you'd be able to easily find that job hypothetically if I were you, since many of them do require being a native English speaker, but the "me wanting to live in Japan someday" part is rather a story for another time.)


 * As far as those segments go, the 30 second next episode preview (in western Pokémon YouTubing jargon, the "first preview") is an episode segment in Japanese animated cartoons including this one rather than a one time deal shown on the first broadcasts only, they are just uploaded and then advertised on the official YouTube channels because it contains tons of extra footage from the episode that isn't shown before. Same goes for any other OLM-animated broadcast-on-TV-Tokyo type animated show. The only versions that don't show the previews are Netflix and original airings in the rare case when there is a movie promotion. Amazon Prime puts up new episodes the day after the one after it airs (possibly because an episode shown in the next episode preview segment could end up getting postponed and the Amazon Prime versions show the Hiun City gym episode preview after the Fushide episode instead of the Rocket/Plasma part 1 episode preview, and they show the Shoyo Gym episode preview in XY for XY023's preview because the preview was retroactively changed for future releases to show the episode that actually followed in the long run.


 * (For the planetarium specials and movie screenings, the official companies who decide this stuff are simply concerned about broadcasting them for an audience, not about catering to fansites who are in desperate personal desire of a source for high quality images for a wiki or whatever, which actually works counter to this wiki wants. Oh well, I guess there will never be a way to get gallery images for planetarium eps then unless they officially re-release them or someone could get them leaked in the form of a playable video media file....)

 * Though I will note that the unsubbed raws are available on torrent sites. They're listed along the lines of Pocket Monsters Sun & Moon [number] and Kyurem147 uses those. I do use print-screen as well and save in Paint and I also photoshop them to sharpen them and apply contrast effects before uploading to make sure they look clearer. If they're too dark or too bright in the contrasting, I try to change the level of saturation on them slightly though I prefer accuracy and clearness of the image over cosmetically enhancing them so I only raise the sharpness and contrast slightly.
 * I did joke on 4chan as anonymous however that they've been inactive since March because Adamant is "too busy shipping Ash/Serena" (the post uses words along a particular topic that are actually unsuitable/NSFW for young children in terms of the language I used in the post however, since 4chan is only to be contributed to by those 18 and older anyway so I can't mention the specifics of what I posted here, though you never see me swearing uncensored outside of 4chan and occasionally on social media websites and I generally limit swearing when using it in places where it's allowed, e.g. the Bulbapedia forums site surprisingly (Serebii forum rules allow limited swearing as long as it's not the type of swearing that's censored by their cussing filter)).

Chain breeding
As I've been fixing the Pokémon move pages, I noticed that chain breeding was present on the pages (see Brave Bird as an example), but is missing on the actual templates. I just wanted to make sure if that's something that needs to be included or if I can just ignore that. 21:18, September 6, 2018 (UTC)
 * No need for apologies. As long as I get a reply, I'm happy. Also, I don't know if you understood my question (reading over it again, I wasn't specific enough). As an example, on Brave Bird, there is the code  * indicates a Pokémon that can only learn the move through chain breeding  , whereas on the movebreedlistend/1 (and subsequent end templates), that is not present. I was wondering if we had to indicate a Pokemon can only learn through chain breeding and add that to the current template, or if we could just forego that.  23:38, September 8, 2018 (UTC)
 * Alright, just wanted to make sure before I made that change. Thank you Energy! 18:28, September 9, 2018 (UTC)

It appears as though the reason why they became inactive in March is because of Adamant (someone I know who is also able to translate and is someone on their fansubbing group) has had a sickness for months and is pretty much recovered to the point where he can continue.

I could possibly go through those and try to get images if I remember tomorrow or something though I'll be in New York over the weekend and it's not my primary incentive because of the impending release of Mega Man 11 which releases October 4th (the 2nd in North America) and the fact that I want to get 8K videos of the games up to MM10 completed hopefully by then to prepare to bring out my Nintendo Switch and start making videos for MM11 when it releases. Just Dance 2019 also releases on October 23rd however I do that in my free time and it's not like something I plan on doing on YT when it releases so I won't be busy with that -- believe it or not, that game is the only upcoming Wii game at this moment to release and yes, they're still releasing those games for the original Wii even though it's 2018 and not 2009 when it would make sense for them to release exclusively for the Wii - I've been getting every new North America/Europe series main game of that franchise every year since it all began in November of 2009.  Pokémon Gamer  * 04:08, September 11, 2018 (UTC)
 * Got a good shot of SM085 though turns out I happened to be occupied with Mega Man 9, uploading of which will be more of a rush than anything to get it and MM10 done by MM11's release (which is obviously the more important thing to do for me at this moment).

Pokémon anime episodes, movies, and specials to be digitally restored in full 4K Ultra HD.
You know something? I was wondering if there were any plans for Viz Media or Manga Entertainment UK for a complete anime series of Pokémon TV episodes, movies, and specials to be made into 4K Ultra HD.

When the source is something like this, it's generally fake and the Japanese name and cry audio are also fake as well - I've searched every official and fanmade Japanese source that I am aware of, and no one is even mentioning it. The cry is not even very well done either, just sounds like a dude exclaiming "aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh!" in ecstasy for half a second or something - yeah, don't even feel like getting further into that either.

 *    And as i look over Paul the dragon trainers discussion profile Redmaster 3011 is right he has only been contributing 2 months outta of us via Annabeth and Percy, Artharv Methra, Billvee, You, Gary Oakkk, Me, ThePokemonGamer, and as you can see i thought for sure we had like 8 discussion moderators actively so yeah i'm questioning in if Paul the dragon trainer remains gone as you can see my message to him can we demote him and premote Redmaster 3011? as you can see i know they both know via:


 * 1 Rules and requirements 


 * 2 Paul the dragon trainer has been active two months while Redmaster 3011 has more then him so, and it's kinda reason why i want the swap to actually happen.. 


 * 3 And as i said to Paul the dragon trainer if he remains inactive til February then i recommend him a replacement he can apply for something else can't he? 


 * And if so and if i can apply him for something else i'm sure he'd do great as a administrator for discussion? 


 * Reason: Is they too have a somewhat similar ideal in discussion if he we're to apply for that but so you know on that and if he remains inactive til February then i recommend him a replacement alright? 


 * But so you know on that and i want to see what Redmaster 3011 can/will do alright but so you know if you said we have enough moderators i question why are we doing Paul the dragon trainer's work? Why is he not active and so on? You know and if it we're me i'd swap the two because it's been 7 months and i feel like why you know? especially if we're all doing our own thing everyday inactively you  know so yeah it kinda gets me that feeling in questioning like why am i hitting myself and so on not saying i am... 


 *  Why is he not active why am i doing his work why is he not attending discussion so you know on that as i question him myself so yeah.


 * I'll say i've returned from hiatus and wanted to chat and gave Paul the dragon trainers link and thought we'd discuss it on my talk and your talk page as we come up with a agreement maybe even talk with the others too so Redmaster 3011 and the moderators can attend discussion and we can all agree to Redmaster 3011 on being a discussion moderator for a permanent ideal if he said he'll remain active more than Paul then maybe he is has hit something on me outta what i noticed so yeah the question is what do you think? In approval of course. And you may want to check my talk page as well as his so you'll get an ideal alright?.


 * So you know as such as i'm back from hiatus and am returning to discussion for afew days sense i have afew things to do this weekend so you know on it. The link is below and yeah i'm back so i feel great knowing i got over my emotions and feelings from my uncles passing so yeah if needed i'll be around...Trainer Micah (talk) 06:57, October 16, 2018 (UTC)

Report.
There is a complaint against https://pokemon.wikia.com/wiki/User:RedMaster_3011?useskin=oasis telling every user to check and read the discussions guidelines, where he, himself is not familiar with many of the rules. Forcing my fellow moderator Gary Oakkk to read his talk page. I admit these reasons are pointless, but at a point, the points are annoying, too. I can, with peace handle such users. But can't handle the noises they make by stretching the argument.

About whatever has been said above, the user https://pokemon.wikia.com/wiki/User:RedMaster_3011?useskin=oasis is not at all suitable for the rights. I don't know what came in the mind of Micah and chose him for the moderation. But please. Choose them on the basis of contributions they perform, not only towards edits but towards wiki discussions too. If you get a free time, please look at the user's replies and posts. That's my humble request to you. As of yet, I was ignoring the whole matter. But before it gets serious, I'd want to put my views against it.

If a user reaches 1,500 replies and has been active from like 4 months, he she can nominate himself for discussions moderator, right? With that fact, there are a lot of users daily active on discussions and has crossed like 6,000 replies.

More of the things, I'll let you know on discord. Thanks. Atharv Mehra! (talk) 10:49, October 17, 2018 (UTC)

Fantasizing my previous message
Hello Energy x sir, Under my previous message i sent you regarding Paul the dragon trainer and RedMaster 3011 i just wanted to let you know i only fantasized my message regarding RedMaster 3011 and Paul the dragon trainers demotion so you know as such.


 * I did however warn the user Oddish speaks of  above ^ But so you know as such i believe in what i believed in so i warned RedMaster 3011 about asking me on becoming discussion moderator so you know he knew we had alot so sometimes i fantasized up those messages so you know and yeah it was a prank hook line and sinker i fail for it,


 *  So yeah glad i got him back with a warning. So if you need something let me know i may do it tonight alright so you know as such thought i'd message you in regards. And hope you have a great day sir. Man i can't believe i almost got tricked the discussion moderator trick well won't happen again so yeah have a great day sir i'm off chat tonight later...-Trainer Micah (talk) 17:20, October 17, 2018 (UTC)

''I see so you don't remember Shashank making this then? it was back in January 31st this year so it's in link in the forums watercooler:''

[//pokemon.wikia.com/wiki/Forum:Discussion_Moderators https://pokemon.wikia.com/wiki/Forum:Discussion_Moderators]

  I remember him making something so i didn't recall these we're the actual requirement's a user needed but as you said i didn't/don't remember stating anything about requirements i didn't/don't know we had that/any til i looked around at everything so the question is are these the requirements needed for a user in link above?

''  Or are these made up by Shashank just to pull my leg? So you know as such. ''

I have to go inactive because i am on schedule so times kinda narrowing so i will chat tomorrow when i am on alright so you know as such Energy x sir i don't recall these til i looked around/through things so you as such do you recall these i wonder anyway i got to sleep so i am off good night and chat tomorrow when i am on alright...-Trainer Micah (talk) 23:48, October 17, 2018 (UTC) 




 * Also i forgot to add last night alrighty and yes i knew we had enough discussion moderators as it is so yes.


 * And in the old off topic post you dug up do you remember/recall the reason why exactly we postponed off topic post say stop making them before Artharv Methra and Gary Oakkk an so on become a discussion moderator's?


 * Well you remember Zyannn aka Jet user right whois haven't been seen sense? "Well i cought Billvee and Artharv Methra! cought replying each other" and are bringing the issue up again and to be fair enough as administrator of Pokemon neighboring the community wikis if they continue chatting/mentioning it from yesterday.


 * I request a message from you to see if i may postpone off topic post again if alright? 


 * It's in case they don't stop the issue mentioned from before if you recall/remember it ​​was ​via drama unfolding i brought up in message, fighting occurring, and annoyance the WWE list he made and breaking the guideline rules so you know and yes i recall/remember it don't you via him going against us four?


 * So you know and yes just a message i'm wanting to "hence the warning to them right now" If they don't stop sense Jet was going against us as in You, Me, Bill, and Annabeth and Percy at the time​​ i want to see if i may/can postpone off topic post "again"? If they we're to continue in replying each other?


 * Reason you know and two if they don't stop i ask if they continue i recommend a small kick ban for three day as it's unmoderator like to even mention all that chaos that happened sometime ago via March 14th, 2017 quite sometime ago yes that was a bad inappropriate behavior and, etc memory and was the reason why you demoted Zyannn aka Jet and kick banned him so yeah there mentioning his WWE list it's in March 14th 2017 post is old so glad we still have it around so you know and see it for yourself alright check Billvee's discussion profile under 7h's ago should show a picture of somesort in replies so yeah.


 * I'll give you a link tomorrow or you can check his replies alright so you know i am off chat tomorrow night and good night sir...-Trainer Micah (talk) 03:34, October 19, 2018 (UTC)

Yeah, true that. We don't need anymore moderator. The spam rate is also decreased than before. We can't follow any old post in fandom. Why's that happening? Is that a permanent fault or something? Could you please check out the issue? It would be a big help. Thanks! Atharv Mehra! (talk) 16:20, October 18, 2018 (UTC)

Pokémon GO Nominated in Google Play People's Choice Awards
Hi Energy X, long time no see, hope you've been doing well!

I wanted to let you know that Pokémon GO is a nominee for Google Play’s Fan Favorite Game of 2018! This award puts the power in the communities’ hands, allowing fans like you and your community members to vote for and support their favorite game. The voting for the Fan Favorite Game takes place between November 12 and November 26.

We're partnering with Google Play this year to help get out the vote, which is why we're reaching out to you. We want to help you make sure Pokemon GO has a chance of taking home the prize, we were interested in spreading the word of the voting once things kick off, here were a few ideas we had.


 * A discussion post on your community on November 12 announcing that voting is live.
 * A blog post on the same day announcing the same.
 * A small image asset in the right rail on desktop that will announce the game as a nominee and take fans to the voting page. (For an example of how that asset will look in terms of size and location, check out the Buy Now asset on the right side of [//pathfinderkingmaker.wikia.com/wiki/Pathfinder_Kingmaker_Wiki https://pathfinderkingmaker.wikia.com/wiki/Pathfinder_Kingmaker_Wiki].)
 * A "smart" banner that will display for wiki viewers on mobile (similar to the smart banner that currently displays on mobile pages for the FANDOM app).

We're also happy to help support getting out the vote for your game in any other way you'd like -- just let us know how we can help. I've already reached out to the Pokemon GO specific wiki but having any outreach here would certainly help chip in! Let me know which of these ideas you fancy.,

Let me know if you have any questions or concerns, I'll try to jump in and assist here once Let's Go Pikachu/Eevee comes out!

 * Hey Energy X, last stop in for me in relation to this!


 * With the Google Play's Fan Favorite game awards are still underway, and we would love to help promote Pokemon GO success on your wiki (It's currently in second place behind PUBG Mobile!) Would you like some some assets to promote the game? We would be happy to create your suggestions! Would you like to host a poll or giveaway? We would love to provide you with Google Play gift cards to give! We also have created a compilation image of the nominees if you would like to retweet/share on your wiki's social channels: Twitter Facebook! Let us know if you have any other requests and we will try to assist.


 * Best regards,

Bot question
Hello Energy X sir, I have a question

''How did you make this? [//pokemon.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Contributions/Energy_0 https://pokemon.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Contributions/Energy_0]?''

Reason i ask is becouse i may make one for myself as a moderator whois thinking about making a bot.

And as you know i thought i make one this year say for my birthday to help with editoring and rollbacking in case some user or users do make reather mistakes or error or whatever in editoring.

''But so you know i thought i'd ask about it and "If" i were to make one can you make it as a bot muskhead? or musthead? or whatever you call them''

So you know as such thought i'd ask and make one for here in/on the fandom or discussion if needed to clean any spams or whatever that needs to be deleted or undone or rollbacked if you can let me know and share your thoughts okay?

So you know as such have a nice day i know you have alot of work and i'm interested into making one sometime soon okay so you know and chat later..-Trainer Micah (talk) 21:44, November 2, 2018 (UTC)

I got your message and i see i'll contact the staff to see if they can make a bot out of the account i created called Trainer Mike Bot so you know as such quite catchy.

So yeah after i see i just downloaded the link you gave so hopefully it work's if not i'll retry it so you know can't wait to have my own bot...-Trainer Micah (talk) 23:33, November 2, 2018 (UTC)

Also is it okay if i have premission form you to make a bot? it's before i do all of this and as you know thought i'd ask for premission before doing such a thing..Trainer Micah (talk) 23:41, November 2, 2018 (UTC)


 * Alright everything is completed now all i need to do is wait for a response within two or three days hopefully it gets improved and hoping i get my own bot soon...-Trainer Micah (talk) 01:05, November 3, 2018 (UTC)   

Permission for my Bot
Hi Energy X, It's Trainer Micah i was wondering if i can have Consent from you into making this a bot here's my bot's link...Trainer Mike (talk) 19:20, November 3, 2018 (UTC) 


 * As you know this is my bot whois will be helping out here in the wikia helping out cleaning the community and the staff are asking me as well. So can i have consent from you into making a bot out of  that? 


 * And i have download the Autowikiabrowser i'll keep reading that incase i have to download anything else.


 * And so you know as such i'm ready after that and i can't wait to do abit of bots work to helping you all out. So you know as such i await your message thanks.. Trainer Micah

Infobox templates
Hello! I’m Ursuul from Vanguard, & I was told you were the best person to talk to about template practices here. Vanguard isn’t here about converting Infoboxes right now as far as I know, but there is a bit of an unideal practice occurring that we’d like to work with you to resolve. You can see examples of this with Template:Rotom, which is basically just a tabbed configuration of Template:PokéBox that is transcluded in the Rotom article. Ideally, Template:Rotom need not exist at all; you could simply  that entire template’s contents into the Rotom article directly, & have the code simply reside within the article itself. Using the current method is erroneously flagging the Pokémon Wiki for portability attention & cleanup that it does not, currently, need, as well as not being ideal as a practice generally, because this hides away the content from prospective editors. This practice has been used, from what I can tell, throughout the Wiki as well. It’s even in the case on Blaziken & on many other Pokémon articles; mostly articles beginning with A & B at a glance, but also on a seemingly random assortment of other articles. Is there a particular reason why this practice has become widespread, & might we work together to move back to a more ideal method of template usage? If you’d like you can contact me on Discord as Ursuul#1776, or I can join your Wiki’s own Discord if that’d be preferable (I would’ve joined already, except that Template:Welcome does not have an actual invite link, & I couldn’t find one). Otherwise, I’m happy to communicate via talk page. Thanks in advance!


 * No, it isn’t related to template type. Reclassifying those templates as something like Design might make some of them vanish from Special:Insights/nonportableinfoboxes, but this has less to do with the portability of the Infoboxes as the practice of having single-use templates, in general, & so reclassification wouldn’t make the problem go away. It’s also simply a bad practice for your editors, as you noted.


 * That is more functional automation than portability, & though I know parser functions well & would like to help you, this project is already looking pretty scary:


 * Even that much will only cover two generations. Inserted in the parameter as  the result is this: I, II  For each new generation you wanted this automated parameter to be able to handle, you’d have to nest that function again, & again, & again. The end result (accounting for all seven generations) would be pretty horrid, & though it might work, I cannot advise against it enough. There may be another, more efficient method  of automating that parameter via wikitext which I don’t know about (I tried #replace but that failed) or perhaps a method of accomplishing it with Lua, & if you’d like I’d be more than happy to ask around for such an alternative method, but even with Lua templating I’m fairly certain you’d have to account for each individual phrase for replacement; not very efficient. I’d recommend either simply writing out the full links in the parameter, to be maintained across the site with bots, or simply keep using the method you already have. However you want to proceed, I’ll be happy to assist however I can. If you need assistance taking care of the single-use templates also, then that too can be provided (bots, etc). Just say the word.


 * You are in luck! My patron showed me how to use the Arrays Extension to pull off what you want, without having to worry about 800 lines of nested parser functions. See User:Ursuul/Sandbox, which now uses the new functionality (difference from original), & check this diff to see how the template would work. The output is the same, but now in the article’s code you can use  just like you asked.

Japanese Translations
So, I was editing some of the etymology for the Pokémon in their Japanese names, and I noticed that most of the wikia's translations are completely wrong inside the PokéBoxes. For instance, Serebyi is not the Japanese name of Celebi, Celebi is the same in both English and Japanese. Most of the translated names feel like someone just heard the name with an accent and wrote down what they thought they heard. Mind if I change them? I asked you first because the PokéBoxes are REALLY sensitive information for a page and I wanted to know if I can edit them. Anyway, reply when you can and Have A Nice Day!

Hello may i please inquire why you deleted the Apocalocke page?

I beg your pardon
That page thing between Green (game) and Leaf (game), that was a different story from what I saw, and inserting blanks part is not my fault I had seen other pages in this wiki that hade done the same thing before me. I assumed that was done in the hopes that someone in the future would fill in the details in case others forget things like appearances, personalities, etc. an optional thought one might say.
