Talk:Pokémon Gold and Silver

Split page
I am suggesting that this page be split back up into Pokémon Gold and Silver and Pokémon Crystal. Gold and Silver were released together as the same game. However, Crystal was released separately as a "More complete version". As we have done with the whole set of Street Fighter II games, they should each have their own pages. -- Prod (Talk) 12:34, 8 February 2007 (CST)


 * Hi Prod. While I understand your reasoning behind this decision, I have to object.  And I do so largely because I have been considering tackling these long neglected guides, so I have been thinking about how best to arrange them.  The reason things worked with Street Fighter II so well was because each version built on the other, so that there was one common page, and a set of addendum.  However, with P:GS and P:C, roughly 90% of the material is identical between all three versions.  Therefore, the walkthrough provided for GS would be 100% applicable to C, and something akin to the Heart Piece or Skulltella boxes in the LoZ:OoT guides in order to present material that is unique to C.  In fact, I am so convinced that this is the proper way to go, that I would even go so far as to recommend the same treatment be given to Red/Blue and Yellow (that is, they should be merged to one guide, with side bars informing players of any unique yellow features throughout the guide.)


 * At the very least, I can see having two separate front pages, one for P:GS and one for P:C, but the walkthrough that they both point to should be the same. Perhaps that is all that you intended Prod, but I wasn't certain so I figured I'd spell it out.  Let me know how you feel about this.  Procyon 13:32, 8 February 2007 (CST)
 * Heh, yea, that's actually what I meant :P. We have the |parent attribute already ready :D. So, I'm suggesting we keep all the info under Pokémon Gold and Silver, and use |parent=Pokémon Gold and Silver on the crystal main page.  This discussion kinda applies to Red and Blue/Yellow (Green?), Gold and Silver/Crystal, and Diamond and Pearl/Emerald. Also I guess they should also have the |onepage=true since those pages should only really have the list of changes.  The specific changes in the walkthroughs for each game can be put within the guides. -- Prod (Talk) 13:40, 8 February 2007 (CST)

Possible glitches showing up
Something is going wrang with the site. when i was completing the list of moves, i went to save it, and for some unknown reason, it logged me out, and as a result, all that was working on was deleted in the procees. that took me the whole day, and im not going to do it again(at least not for a while). so can somebody do it for me, please?(And watch out for that glitch!) thanx in advance. Goodbye, God Bless.Halosonic 13:47, 15 June 2007 (CDT)
 * The cookie that stores the login information probably got deleted for some reason. Also, we've decided to have a central list of moves (probably here, but a name hasn't been decided yet). As for the edit not going through, I have no idea. Try asking one of our server admins for an explanation. -- 14:11, 15 June 2007 (CDT)
 * It happens if you're inactive for a long time for me, have a page on your watchlist or recent changes stops it (I think) and you can always use the back button, I'll do the edit now.--Rocky http://media.strategywiki.org/images/thumb/7/78/Rally-X_Rock.png/25px-Rally-X_Rock.png (Talk - Contributions) 16:01, 15 June 2007 (CDT)
 * Done, thanks to notepad, whenever I do something big, I copy and paste it to notepad as a backup and the site was down for a bit.--Rocky http://media.strategywiki.org/images/thumb/7/78/Rally-X_Rock.png/25px-Rally-X_Rock.png (Talk - Contributions) 16:31, 15 June 2007 (CDT)
