Hey Blake,

I just wanted to apologize for my post overwriting yours. It wasn't intentional and I didn't notice it until you reposted. I'm not sure how it happened as I didn't get an edit conflict, but my browser did crash and reopen the editing page automatically when I restarted and I guess this caused it to ignore your post. I'm sorry for the inconvenience and any perceived rudeness. —Ost (talk) 15:54, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

Its alright. I see it was just a technical mistake. _Blake ^{(Talk·Edits)} 15:59, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for fixing that, I've had one helluva day and I was a bit off my game as a result there.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 02:44, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

You have been mentioned at WP:AN3#multiple users at Bulbasaur (Result: ).—Kww(talk) 18:45, 25 September 2009 (UTC)

I came here to give you a barnstar, but just noticed that Kung Fu Man beat me to it... Meh, I'll give you one anyway. :)

	The Working Wikipedian's Barnstar
	For your excellent contributions to the Pokémon WikiProject. Keep up the good work! Theleftorium 19:23, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

Thanks! :) _Blake ^{(Talk·Edits)} 19:24, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

Might be a good idea to combine the descriptions of its appearance together into one paragraph, since some constants do persist. Then we can cover their traits in three paragraphs following that with shared ones combined. It'd provide a smoother article as a result.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 21:23, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

Yah, that is what I was thinking as well, but got too busy to try it. Feel free to do it yourself. _Blake ^{(Talk·Edits)} 21:24, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

Alright, I won't be able to do too much tonight though, got a slew of job applications to send out. No rest for the wicked. @_@;--Kung Fu Man (talk) 21:28, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

I'm thinking once we get the Abra-Kadabra-Alakazam article out we focus on getting what we have to GA, then on the rest. From the looks of it, the following will probably be able to work as articles if more reception can be found: Jesse, James, Meowth, Pichu, Unown, Psyduck, Snorlax, and maybe even Lucario. I'll keep an eye out for Eevee too, I noticed you mentioned that one and I think it might work. But for the time being I think if we focus on getting the rest of these to GA's, we should have an easier time making a dent with the rest as time progresses.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 00:00, 1 October 2009 (UTC)

omg nice. You posted at exactly midnight the first day of October according to the server time. :D Anyways... I agree. I think all the articles out now at the moment can be Good Article with some tweaking. _Blake ^{(Talk·Edits)} 00:06, 1 October 2009 (UTC)

Accidentally gave Kung Fu one too since I thought he made the article, but ah well, he's done a lot of work anyway. x3 Congratulations! To paraphrase what I said, I literally said "what the Hell" when I saw this in a category! - The New Age Retro Hippie used Ruler! Now, he can figure out the length of things easily. 04:14, 1 October 2009 (UTC)

Thanks! It was quick too! It only took like 2 or 3 days. I will use the barnstar from his page. :P _Blake ^{(Talk·Edits)} 12:42, 1 October 2009 (UTC)

It's a bit of a roundabout way of finding it, but I can guarantee that the chapters with Jynx will be found in here somewhere (if you were referring to Adventures/Special anyways). Happy hunting. MelicansMatkin (talk, contributions) 00:16, 4 October 2009 (UTC)

Yah, I know. Thats where I read the manga. I probably know when/where it happened, but I couldn't pinpoint the chapter in Bulbapedia. _Blake ^{(Talk·Edits)} 00:18, 4 October 2009 (UTC)

I just did a quick check. I think the Jynx makes it's first appearance in Chapter 83, and if not then it wouldn't be too much earlier than that. MelicansMatkin (talk, contributions) 00:30, 4 October 2009 (UTC)

Oh, I was so far off. I thought it appeared when Lorelei attacked Yellow and Bill. I guess I was wrong. I just looked and she used Cloyster and Dewgong. _Blake ^{(Talk·Edits)} 00:38, 4 October 2009 (UTC)

I think I've tapped all I could (still got a few bits to add), and from the looks of it Magikarp, Gyarados, and Gengar might work down the line if more comes out, with Venonat, Scyther and Haunter on the sidelines as lesser possibilities. With that said I think we should be fine developing the ones I put up there at WT:POKE, the only one I'm worrying about in any way is Lucario but it shouldn't be too bad (anime reviews may help immensely there), though Anime News Network and Mania.com were already a bust in that regard.

Still, 13 articles back when we were pretty much on the ropes is shaping up to make this a good year for the project.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 01:33, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

Yep, this is working good. Bulbasaur got cut, but we have gained Charizard, Jynx, and Mr. Mime, plus more in the near future. I will try to get to writing their list sections so you can incorporate them into articles. _Blake ^{(Talk·Edits)} 01:36, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

An IGN staffer ended up continuing the "Pokemon of the Day" articles in 2002 and beyond, notably with less insanity than the previous one that had a ton of articles but very few usable. I haven't been through the entire archive but it should give some bulk. I disregarded it as just a regular user until Rayquaza popped up on the radar and I looked deeper into it.

Dig through there and see what you can utilized, I'm tied down with my job until Sunday (32 hours a week), but it should give some muscle to the articles.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 17:42, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

I will see what I can do. ;) _Blake ^{(Talk·Edits)} 18:10, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

Purplebackpack89 (talk) 18:29, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

Thanks. User:Kung Fu Man helped find the reception. I just built the article. _Blake ^{(Talk·Edits)} 18:36, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

Unfortunately, we cannot operate like that. They can't give permission like that, or rather, will not. You need a pretty strong fair use rationale for the Pikachu image to validate using it over this free alternative. - The New Age Retro Hippie used Ruler!

'tis May. Saw you at AFD, nice job finding source(s) for the Pokemon movie article. I miss seeing your sprites, Blake. Aahaha. Have a nice day. talkingbirds 01:47, 10 November 2009 (UTC)

Thanks! ;) My sprites aren't that good. lol. _Blake ^{(Talk·Edits)} 03:51, 10 November 2009 (UTC)

Nice job cleaning up--thanks. There's more to do, of course! Drmies (talk) 20:29, 18 November 2009 (UTC)

Thank you! It takes me a bit to do it, but it's always worth it in the end. :) The Flash ^{talk} 03:44, 25 November 2009 (UTC)

lol, Thank you. I was surprised how quick I finished this one; guess I was just able to find a lot of info easier than others. :) The Flash ^{talk} 15:55, 28 November 2009 (UTC)

There is more than one which inevitably will start edit wars, which I have seen occurring already. Anothet thing is that links to personal sites is not allowed which is what these clearly are. There is also a ton more ghost rules that apply, and if you really want to go into it, we can. --HMKJ (talk) 20:11, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

Nah, not yet. - The New Age Retro Hippie used Ruler! Now, he can figure out the length of things easily. 20:53, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

Well, I view it on the same level as we would reference the use of Navi in Powerpuff Girls; a webcomic is considered an "other media". - The New Age Retro Hippie used Ruler! Now, he can figure out the length of things easily. 18:53, 17 January 2010 (UTC)

I think because they're ugly, distracting, and not part of the English language.—Chowbok ☠ 21:37, 28 January 2010 (UTC)

Well, take it up at WT:MOSTM.—Chowbok ☠ 21:42, 28 January 2010 (UTC)

You, you're a good WikiSamaritan. Thanks for backing me and adding a reference, something I don't know how to do very well yet (despite being a semi-experienced user), and being a fan of semi-protection. Good man. 2J Bäkkvire Maestro ^{RQQ et al} _{favorite haunts} 02:42, 30 January 2010 (UTC)

P.S. What's it like being one of the 12 Florida teenagers?

P.P.S. Did you get to here through my userpage? If not, how?
