Pokémon G/S/C
Nice work on the guide pages, just to note, to make the pages, I've made a template so just add to the page, save it, then edit it again, it has most of the info needed to make a page. Happy Editing--Rocky http://media.strategywiki.org/images/thumb/7/78/Rally-X_Rock.png/25px-Rally-X_Rock.png (Talk - Contributions) 11:58, 3 April 2007 (CDT)

Hi, about the level ranges, can you please use text instead of text, it's pretty small really, also, is there a reason that you are putting the level ranges at the bottom. Thanks for the help on the guide--Rocky http://media.strategywiki.org/images/thumb/7/78/Rally-X_Rock.png/25px-Rally-X_Rock.png (Talk - Contributions) 14:02, 3 April 2007 (CDT)

Mushroom
Hi, I think it's the tinymushroom but I'm not 100 certain, all of the other items I put in I've got on my silver version. Do you know what the silver leaf does? Thanks for the help on the guide.--Rocky http://media.strategywiki.org/images/thumb/7/78/Rally-X_Rock.png/25px-Rally-X_Rock.png (Talk - Contributions) 01:49, 4 April 2007 (CDT)

Gyrados
Hi, the pic should be in Category:Pokémon artwork, if it's not post on my talk and I'll re-upload it.--Rocky http://media.strategywiki.org/images/thumb/7/78/Rally-X_Rock.png/25px-Rally-X_Rock.png (Talk - Contributions) 11:34, 4 April 2007 (CDT)

Sorry, how do you get nightmare in route 31, delivery's a bit vague?--Rocky http://media.strategywiki.org/images/thumb/7/78/Rally-X_Rock.png/25px-Rally-X_Rock.png (Talk - Contributions) 11:48, 4 April 2007 (CDT)

Dark Cave
Sorry, I'm adding the bit after rock smash but if you go North, it is considered Mt. Mortar, is this OK with you?--Rocky http://media.strategywiki.org/images/thumb/7/78/Rally-X_Rock.png/25px-Rally-X_Rock.png (Talk - Contributions) 12:14, 4 April 2007 (CDT)

Images
Sorry, I've been out, don't upload them because they're already here, thanks for the explanation for the TM, I think I remember now, thanks. Also can you sign your posts with ~ so it puts the time on the posts, you can customise your sig in preferences, if you want some code then you know where to find me.--Rocky http://media.strategywiki.org/images/thumb/7/78/Rally-X_Rock.png/25px-Rally-X_Rock.png (Talk - Contributions) 15:09, 4 April 2007 (CDT)


 * Sorry about the mixup with the images, next time can you upload them with the name of the game first, Grass.png would be hard to find and would need renaming so Pokemon_Type_Grass.png would be a better title, it actually became PkmnType_grass.gif, also when uploading, forget the é because it's annoying to get every time you need to put in an image.--Rocky http://media.strategywiki.org/images/thumb/7/78/Rally-X_Rock.png/25px-Rally-X_Rock.png (Talk - Contributions) 15:37, 4 April 2007 (CDT)

Attack List
BP:List of moves no.s 1-251 are all of the moves in GEN 1 and 2


 * Actually, don't try and copy it all over, I'll get an admin to transfer that and the histories together--Rocky http://media.strategywiki.org/images/thumb/7/78/Rally-X_Rock.png/25px-Rally-X_Rock.png (Talk - Contributions) 15:19, 4 April 2007 (CDT)

Userboxes
Hi, about the userboxes on your userpage, there is a nice template called Wpuserbox that mirrors a wikipedia-style userbox, like so (view code to see how its done):

Contributors
Sorry about butting in Prod, but we've already got one. For any page, you can click history and it will give you a full list of edits and contributions, look here and here to see what I mean, hope this helps.--Rocky http://media.strategywiki.org/images/thumb/7/78/Rally-X_Rock.png/25px-Rally-X_Rock.png (Talk - Contributions) 03:31, 5 April 2007 (CDT)
 * If your really feel that you want the contribution list in there, may I suggest a credits page? Put the names of contributors under a section entitled "Guide Credits" using bullet points and the User template, like so:


 * ==Guide credits==

Response on Rocky's page.
Hi Halosonic. I just wanted to inform you that I posted a response to your question to Rocky on Rocky's talk page. Thanks. Procyon (Talk) 14:46, 10 April 2007 (CDT)


 * Hi, about that, link to Bulbapedia if you want the combos for contests but if it's like rain dance and thunder then go into a 2nd gen game (silver, crystal etc.), remove everyone from your phone list and go to the national park, find and add Schoolboy Jack to your phone list, go to your house and talk to your mum and repeatedly switch betwwen DST and non-DST, you'll get a lot of tips faster this way. Hope this helps!--Rocky http://media.strategywiki.org/images/thumb/7/78/Rally-X_Rock.png/25px-Rally-X_Rock.png (Talk - Contributions) 15:23, 10 April 2007 (CDT)

Credits
I've done a test of the page here and here, what do you think, feel free to improve them.
 * I did say feel free to improve them for a reason :-P, I'll put it up now, thanks for the feedback.
 * Done--Rocky http://media.strategywiki.org/images/thumb/7/78/Rally-X_Rock.png/25px-Rally-X_Rock.png (Talk - Contributions) 13:50, 12 April 2007 (CDT)

Other Starter
Sorry about reverting your edit on Ilex Forest but I was palnning to leave it like that because after I finish the guide, I'll restart my version and get the info for the other 2 starters. Sorry again.--Rocky http://media.strategywiki.org/images/thumb/7/78/Rally-X_Rock.png/25px-Rally-X_Rock.png (Talk - Contributions) 15:15, 12 April 2007 (CDT)

Pokémon G/S/C
Yeah, I'm still working on it it's just that a few sysop tasks are slowing me down a bit. I'm trying to work on it a bit more cuz it's on the main page. I'm training for the league in my version at the moment so any routes after Kanto would be helpful as I can't access those yet but anything at all will be helpful.--Rocky http://media.strategywiki.org/images/thumb/7/78/Rally-X_Rock.png/25px-Rally-X_Rock.png (Talk - Contributions) 09:30, 7 May 2007 (CDT)

Pokemon Red and Blue
Hi Halosonic. I noticed the question you had for Rocky about G/S/C. I wanted to invite you to look over and review all of the content that I've contributed for R/B/Y so far, and verify the accuracy of it. I've been trying to push myself to finish the guide, and will do so shortly, but I would appreciate anyone's help in reviewing the content that I am currently finished with. Thank you. Procyon (Talk) 09:35, 7 May 2007 (CDT)
 * Hi Halosonic. Congrats on getting past your exams, I'm sure that's a relief.  You have perfect timing actually.  Here's the situation with Pokemon R/B/Y.  I am hell bent on completing the entire Walkthrough by the end of the month.  There's only a few pages left for me to do (including the last two pages which were not written by me and need to be redone.)  Now, what you see on the existing pages is pretty much all that I know, or all that I can think of to report.  I imagine that on more than one page, I may have:


 * misreported something
 * forgot to mention something
 * neglected to mention something cuz I didn't know about it.
 * Forgot to link named Pokémon to Bulbapedia (in fact, I never did that with items or skills, and that could be done too.)
 * misspelled things (I'm notorious for that, but I've gotten better since I started using Firefox 2.0)
 * Also, there are two red links in the ToC, Items and Skills, which I really did not have much intention of doing. If at the very least, they contained a list of links to the equivalent item and skill pages in Bulbapedia, that would be awesome.  And last but not least is general formatting issues.  I was very ambitious with this guide, and I know that the pages have some layout problems in IE, but not Firefox.  Rocky has been taking care of most of those problems.  But I trust you, and if you feel that things would look better if rearranged, then go for it.  All in all, I just want to feel that someone besides me is ensuring that the information contained in the walkthrough is correct, clear, and concise.  After all, it's not my guide, it's everyone's.  Thanks so much! Procyon (Talk) 12:35, 15 June 2007 (CDT)
 * What, no, I'm using FireFox now, it's so much better, I wouldn't think of going back to the Dark side, the spellchecker and tabs are priceless, now if only it had a find and replace... But I do check the pages from time to time. Route 16-18 has the map problem still and silph company has problems with the text (It's to the right of the pics) also Celadon City, I'll try and change them in a bit, the silph and celadon were a pain first time--Rocky http://media.strategywiki.org/images/thumb/7/78/Rally-X_Rock.png/25px-Rally-X_Rock.png (Talk - Contributions) 12:41, 15 June 2007 (CDT)

Pokémon G/S/C
Is this OK? BTW sorry about the slow response, there was absolutely huge vandalism on a Wikipedia page and it took ages to fix.--Rocky http://media.strategywiki.org/images/thumb/7/78/Rally-X_Rock.png/25px-Rally-X_Rock.png (Talk - Contributions) 11:20, 7 May 2007 (CDT)
 * Ok, Is it OK now?Rocky http://media.strategywiki.org/images/thumb/7/78/Rally-X_Rock.png/25px-Rally-X_Rock.png (Talk - Contributions) 11:55, 7 May 2007 (CDT)
 * That will be a bit harder, It will require a Special:Import and a Special:Export, I'll do it but it may take a bit longer (I don't know).Rocky http://media.strategywiki.org/images/thumb/7/78/Rally-X_Rock.png/25px-Rally-X_Rock.png (Talk - Contributions) 13:42, 7 May 2007 (CDT)
 * Actually, I have to ask in the staff lounge, it may take a long time.Rocky http://media.strategywiki.org/images/thumb/7/78/Rally-X_Rock.png/25px-Rally-X_Rock.png (Talk - Contributions) 13:52, 7 May 2007 (CDT)

Pokémon G/S/C Route
Hi again, what route do you suggest that I take, I'm at route 14 (I've just beaten Fuchsia Gym and I'm not sure if I should take the path up to Lavender or round to Cinibar, Cerulean Gym is closed for some reason as well. What is the right path to take? Thanks.--Rocky http://media.strategywiki.org/images/thumb/7/78/Rally-X_Rock.png/25px-Rally-X_Rock.png (Talk - Contributions) 12:33, 25 May 2007 (CDT)

Your Questions
1)At the moment I have in my Crystal:
 * Pidgeot Lv.54,
 * Weepinbell (Used for cut & Flash etc.) Lv.24,
 * Typhlosion Lv.54,
 * Gyarados Lv.52,
 * Scyther (Originally used for Roaming Pokemon but makes a gr8 party member) Lv.56
 * Suicune Lv.56,
 * Snorlax Lv.50 (In my box)

At the moment, I'm in Mount Silver, training to beat Red, when I win, I'll start Mt. Mortar, ROA Crystal Quest, Ho-Oh's tower (get 3 beasts), Lugia's cave and put that b4 the elite 4 and finish off all the routes that I couldn't be bothered filling in :P.

2)Yeah, I won't merge the routes but I'll start making them look a bit nicer, I'm going to put Sprites for trainers on ever page (like here), also an encounter rate box and rates for the games, I'll ask proc to e-mail me the rates or something. I'll start sidebars for Crstal stuff as well.

3)You can do whatever you want, when I'm done I might trade all my Pokémon from my prized silver version (I've got Pokérus, Mew, 6+ Lv100s and 251 Pokédex, no celebi though) to my crystal and redo the silver :(, TM locations and Pokémon found would be good if you can (Do you have a guide or anything because all of Your Pokémon founds are really good?). So do anything you want.--Rocky http://media.strategywiki.org/images/thumb/7/78/Rally-X_Rock.png/25px-Rally-X_Rock.png (Talk - Contributions) 10:49, 11 June 2007 (CDT)


 * P.S I moved the Credits to Crystal.--Rocky http://media.strategywiki.org/images/thumb/7/78/Rally-X_Rock.png/25px-Rally-X_Rock.png (Talk - Contributions) 11:03, 11 June 2007 (CDT)

Temp page
Feel free to edit this, I've started it but feel free to improve it. Just put, feel free to move it to your user page with the move tool.--10:20, 12 June 2007 (CDT)
 * It works for me, silly question but did you have two of those squiggly brackets either side, it also won't work if you copy the nowikis. Can you describe what you get on the page when you subst the "template" on a page, try it out on the Sandbox, the links are User:Rocky/Temp Page RSE and to put it onto the page. Hope this helps if not gimmie a shout. --Rocky http://media.strategywiki.org/images/thumb/7/78/Rally-X_Rock.png/25px-Rally-X_Rock.png (Talk - Contributions) 13:35, 14 June 2007 (CDT)
 * If you really want another link then add " &preload=User:Rocky/Temp_Page_RSE " to the bar when creating a new page (The page needs to be blank).--Rocky http://media.strategywiki.org/images/thumb/7/78/Rally-X_Rock.png/25px-Rally-X_Rock.png (Talk - Contributions) 14:33, 14 June 2007 (CDT)

Losing your work
Hi Halosonic. Sorry to hear about the work that you lost. What browser do you use? I use Firefox, and it tends to be really great about caching the text that I write in the edit boxes, so even if I leave the page, it's always there when I come back. Not sure if it would have helped in your particular situation (sounds like you timed your login out), but I imagine it would have. I haven't lost work for a long time because no matter what happens, Firefox hangs on to what you type in memory. Procyon (Talk) 13:51, 15 June 2007 (CDT)
