Suggestions for Pokemon RBY Getting Started
Hi Dinkus. I would suggest removing the entire description of the intro video of the game up until you actually press a button to do anything. Players don't need to be "walked through" cinematics, they can watch it for themselves. Players really want help with the actual game play. Your write up was very good, but it just isn't necessary in the guide. The links to bulbapedia are good, but try to limit them to things that are truly necessary, and things that we definitely don't cover in our own guide. We started a partnership with them because we didn't feel like reinventing the Pokedex when they had done such a great job already. But we do wish to host more guide-specific content, and don't want shuttle people off to another site too frequently. Thanks.  Pro cyon  00:42, 12 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Hi, I'm glad I could be of help. However, I think you might have gone too far the other way now.  I thought some of the information you removed was actually fairly helpful, like navigating the player through starting a new game.  Yeah, not too many readers really need to be walked through that, but you never know, there could be some reader who's never tried a Pokemon game before, and might appreciate the hand-holding.  If you would like to make an items list, then by all means, please write one up.  It's never a bad thing to have.  My only concern was that we try not to spell out things in the game which are passive, like cinematics.  There's no choices involved, so there's no need to help the player.  That's all.  An items list would be cool.   Pro  cyon  02:02, 14 September 2016 (UTC)
