Wikipedia:Pokémon Adoption Center

Gotta destubbify 'em all!

Gotta destubbify 'em all!

The Pokémon Adoption Center (PAC for short) is an attempt to cut through all the bureaucracy here and do something we can all agree is useful: making the various Pokémon stubs better articles. The concept is this: instead of complaining about stubby Pokémon articles, let's improve them instead. We'll assign a poke-stub so you can research it and turn it into a real article, or at least a better stub.

The Pokémon Adoption Center is currently being run by Andrew Lenahan, with Pidgeot and Sinistro assisting with quotidian maintenance issues. If you have questions or comments, please direct them to this article's talk page.

You may also read the FAQ or browse the tutorial. You can also help us decide what to do next.

Applications

If you're willing to help improve an article, add your name to this list here. No previous Pokémon knowledge is necessary. If you get stuck, we can provide reference materials as needed, or assign a new Pokémon to you.

If you need suggestions for how to format an article, you can look at the list of successfully expanded articles, below, for ideas.

A Man In Black

I assigned myself Scizor, one of the last unclaimed Pokémon. I doubt anyone minds much. - A Man In Black (Talk | Contribs) 18:41, 15 August 2005 (UTC)

Finished with Scizor. Did I forget anything? - A Man In Black (Talk | Contribs) 22:37, 15 August 2005 (UTC)

Nope, looks good! Thanks. It's probably not going to be the last. I should imagine that more of the assigned people have forgotten or can't be bothered. --Celestianpower ^hab 23:01, 15 August 2005 (UTC)

Android79

Oh, what the hell. Hook me up. This might well be good practice for those of us who support the merge proposal. After doing one of these, I'll take a stab at doing its whole "evolutionary" chain in one article, like Radiant has done, to show the utility of such articles. (I'll instead put it in my user space, however.) Maybe it will help convince the No voters that this is a good idea; if not, a stub turns into an article, and everyone wins. android79 21:27, Jun 1, 2005 (UTC)

• Give Haunter a try. Should be easy to find info on, I get 21,600 Google hits for Haunter +pokemon. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 21:45, Jun 1, 2005 (UTC)
  • I've done about as much with this one as I can. I'm afraid I don't know enough about Pokemon to figure out what relevant info ought to go in the article. android79 21:09, August 10, 2005 (UTC)

Bliksem

Cyndaquil's done, I think. Tell me if that's how you wanted it, and I'll get started with Quilava right away! --Bliksem

• Great job! Cyndaquil is looking great now. I've removed the PAC notice on Cyndaquil for you, and Quilava and Typhlosion have both been assigned to you. --Pidgeot (t) (c) (e) 19:22, 24 July 2005 (UTC)

Celestianpower

When I need to find anime info, I google using the name of the pokemon plus the word episode. The first result is usually serebii, which has good edpisode guides. Here's what serebii has to say about Goldeen: [1] Hope this helps! Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 21:50, August 4, 2005 (UTC) Right, before Sonic Mew bags them all, I'll assign myself Paras (Pokémon) and Whiscash! --Celestianpower ^hab 21:49, 11 August 2005 (UTC)

Isn't that the whole point of Pokémon? :) Sonic Mew | talk to me 08:47, August 12, 2005 (UTC)

LOL! You're sharp today! --Celestianpower ^hab 09:04, 12 August 2005 (UTC)

Just Whiscash left for me to do now. --Celestianpower ^hab 14:26, 15 August 2005 (UTC)

ChercherEccles

I'll do what I can. I recently started playing Sapphire again, so my knowledge is concentrated there. I'll do what I can, as I said.

Unfortunately, Chercher, all of the articles have been signed up to people or already expanded however, many are still of poor quality. We have created the Poke-maunal of style and wish to enhance all articles to meet this standard. You have various options:

1. Go to The Pokémon Collaborative Project and see what the focus articles are there and try to enhance them. Currently, Bulbasaur needs a TCG section and an infobox template.
2. Seeing as you like Sapphire, You can help clean up the Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire article, which has been identified as being of poor quality (and hence has been given the {{poke-cleanup}} tag.
3. As I said earlier, there are many Pokémon creature articles left to bring up to the standard and picking one at random, Caterpie needs some work.

Thank you for joining! --Celestianpower ^hab 17:54, 19 August 2005 (UTC)

Well, both Caterpie and Metapod had minor typos. I'm a Grammar Nazi at heart, so I'll nitpick and polish anything. -- Chercher E. 18:09, 19 August 2005 (UTC)

That is good but more majorly, the pokedex definitions need to be incorporated into a biology section, the colours need to be removed and the strengths/weaknesses need to be incorporated into the "in the Video Games" section. The anime section could do with a bit of expansion too. --Celestianpower ^hab 18:31, 19 August 2005 (UTC)

And how about the card game? I've still got most of mine, and can write up small blurbs about what set, artist, and powers. Or is that too much?

Nope, it's all welcome. --Celestianpower ^hab 18:56, 19 August 2005 (UTC)

CNash

I'm supporting this project; I've made several attempts to rally support around the Project Pokédex in the past, and have a few completed Pokémon articles to my name already. If I get the time, I can usually get through three to six pokémon in one go. In any case, I'll usually pick a poorly-written or incomplete article to start with, and expand it from there with a "template" of sorts. CNash 10:39, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Deskana

It's understandable that anime information for Lairon is hard to find, as it's only appeared in two episodes and neither of them have been shown in English yet. For anime info I recommend serebii.net, as it has an excellent episode guide. Usually a Google search for lairon +serebii or lairon episode will find what you want. Some Pokemon are even featured as Pokemon of the Day, which lists all their episodes and lots of other info as well. Check out http://www.serebii.net/potw/305.shtml Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 21:06, July 25, 2005 (UTC)

I've finished Lunatone! DevilishlyGrape July 24, 2005 8:37 (UTC)

Great! How's Grumpig for next? Sinistro 09:57, 9 August 2005 (UTC)

ErezR

Done with Aerodactyl, Aggron, and Absol. I'm quite pleased with how they went out. Altaria is next, since I decided to expand them in an alphabetical order. Update: I chose Bagon, Blaziken and Cacnea instead. --ErezR 19:56, 15 July 2005 (UTC)

Jigglypuff_The_Strong

(This user was assigned Whiscash on 12:22 10 July 2005 (EST) but has not been heard of since).

Joizashmo

For a Pokémon's name in other languages, check out http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~psypoke/gsc/names.php for a big table of them. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 18:40, July 29, 2005 (UTC)

• A more complete page would be http://www.filb.de/names-pokemon.php, where it shows English, French, German, Japanese, Game Freak romanization and standard romanization. Alternatively, the respective Pokémon Forever Pokédex entry has the first five of those - if you use that source, you'd have to transliterate manually. --Pidgeot (t) (c) (e) 18:59, 29 July 2005 (UTC)

For new images, you can try http://www.pokemonelite2000.com/v2dex***.gif , replacing the asterisks with the Hoenn Pokédex number for the desired Pokémon. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 22:40, July 29, 2005 (UTC)

How do you feel about Delcatty? Sinistro 08:41, 1 August 2005 (UTC)

• Finito. Next in line, please? Joizashmo 21:30, August 2, 2005 (UTC)
  • Let's move to the other end of the cute/yucky spectrum...Your next assignment is Grimer!Sinistro 21:58, 2 August 2005 (UTC)

Ketsuban

Sign me up! I've already contributed to several Pokemon articles and am ready and willing to do more. Ketsuban (is 1337) 23:40, 6 August 2005 (UTC)

Welcome, it's good to have you with us! I see that your favourite Pokémon have already been expanded, but how about Shedinja's pre-evolved form Nincada to start with? Sinistro 00:19, 7 August 2005 (UTC)

Leptictidium

Gloom finished. Assign me another one please. Leptictidium

• Next, you'll be expanding Lotad! Sinistro 10:59, 10 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Finished Lotad. I won't be doing any more, nevertheless, as it seems that some people prefer to delete rather than complete. Leptictidium 20:37, 26 August 2005 (UTC)

Luigi2

Doduo's done. Looks like there isn't anyone left to adopt, but I'll keep an eye on this page and the other eye on my watchlist to help out however I can. -Luigi2 | Talk 17:32, August 21, 2005 (UTC)

Nall

I assigned myself Stantler. I don't think anyone will mind much.Nall 10:21, 28 August 2005 (UTC)

Stantler, and all articles, have currently been assigned... please feel free to improve the page though! Deskana 20:49, 28 August 2005 (UTC)

Nick_C

Finished Wynaut. Assign me another Pokémon! - Nick_C 10:21, 28 July 2005 (UTC)

• Here, have a Golem. --Pidgeot (t) (c) (e) 10:46, 28 July 2005 (UTC)

nonsun_blob_a

here to adopt hope i did this right

• You sure did! Your assigned Pokemon is Geodude, feel free to ask if you need help with anything! Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 03:14, August 3, 2005 (UTC)

Pidgeot

I'll do Nidorina. --Pidgeot (t) (c) (e) 23:50, 28 July 2005 (UTC)

• Done. --Pidgeot (t) (c) (e) 00:23, 29 July 2005 (UTC)

• Talking to yourself? Funny! Deskana 22:34, 4 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Yeah, I'm weird like that ^.^; --Pidgeot (t) (c) (e) 00:53, 5 August 2005 (UTC)

RealWingus WindFish

• I choose to do Remoraid, Quagsire, Pinsir, Shellder and Granbull. --RealWingus 08:09, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Done Pinsir. --RealWingus 06:35, 13 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Done Shellder, except for animé section. --RealWingus 06:43, 13 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Done Granbull. Lacks animé info. Could use more info... Granbull is such a neglected Pokémon, so little is known about it. --RealWingus 06:50, 13 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Done Quagsire. --RealWingus 07:03, 13 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Done Remoraid. No animé info, sorry. --RealWingus 07:14, 13 August 2005 (UTC)
• I went through the Pokémon from Treecko to Deoxys (in National Pokedex order) and removed all the text-colours from the infoboxes. --RealWingus 04:54, 13 August 2005 (UTC)
• I've taken the last 6 Pokémon. :) --RealWingus 07:21, 13 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Aron, Huntail, Beldum, Crawdaunt, Seaking (Pokémon), Sunflora.
    • All done. Some need anime info, sorry. --RealWingus 06:55, 14 August 2005 (UTC)
      • I'll work on it later, no problem. Sinistro 13:36, 15 August 2005 (UTC)

Shadow Rayquaza

I'm finished with the Larvitar evolution line. But if you've noticed, for all three I have no Pokedex data. This is because I dont know where to find original Pokedex data from the games. Can anyone help? Thanks. What should I do next?--Shadow Rayquaza 19:24, 27 July 2005 (UTC)

• Sure, Shadow. You'll find that the PAC is always willing to help. I found Pokedex info here: http://pkmn.co.uk/?pokedex=246 (though as usual I can't guarantee its completeness or accuracy. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 19:40, July 27, 2005 (UTC)
  • Every single Pokedex entry for every game can be found at http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~psypoke/dex/index.php -Tessa7338
    • Thanks! I needed that. What should I do next?
      • Vibrava is yours! Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 12:31, July 29, 2005 (UTC)

Sinistro

And with Slowking, the research-undertaking Pokémon, I have completed 100 article expansions, something that started 1,5 months ago with Dodrio!

Since all remaining stubs have been assigned (though Growlithe would've been nice) and 100 is a nice round number, now I intend to go over the Pokémon articles and convert the Pokédex entries that have been copied verbatim into "Biology" sections, fixing anything I notice along the way. I'll start with the Kanto Pokémon! Sinistro 13:36, 15 August 2005 (UTC)

SmeagolSquid

Donphan done. Next? - SmeagolSquid 17:03, 10 August 2005 (UTC)

• Try your hand at Metang next! Sinistro 18:13, 10 August 2005 (UTC)

Sonic Mew

Does Shiftry have a signature attack? If so, where would I find it? Other than that, Shiftry is done. Sonic Mew | talk to me 15:58, August 9, 2005 (UTC)

It's not something written in stone, but usually a Pokémon's signature attack is one that either the anime, Pokedex entries, games, Pokémon's overall "flavour" etc. makes you think of that Pokémon when you think of that attack, or vice versa (like Metronome with Clefairy, or Fire Spin with Vulpix because of that one episode). Signature attacks are almost always attacks the Pokemon learns naturally. Unique attacks (like Bonemerang, Conversion or Sketch) are definitely signature attacks. Some Pokemon admittedly do not have any attacks that can be convicningly be called "signature" (by me, anyway). Now in Shiftry's case, the Pokedex entries refer to it whipping up strong gusts with its fan-like arms, which sounds like Razor Wind. Luckily, it can learn it as a Nuzleaf, so I think that makes it Shiftry's signature attack. Sinistro 21:00, 9 August 2005 (UTC)

To be honest, I'd have to disagree and say that it's Fake Out. I guess this just proves that it's all a matter of opinion, eh? Deskana 21:25, 18 August 2005 (UTC)

Nothing prevents a Pokémon from having more than one signature attacks ;-) Are you referring to the Pokedex entry about Shiftry reading its opponent's minds and taking pre-emptive action (hence Fake Out, which always goes first and causes flinching?) I suppose that makes sense. Sinistro 23:45, 18 August 2005 (UTC)

Infact, it was because in the games I always see Shiftry using Fake Out but never Razor Wind... you assume too much intelligence of me. :-P -- Deskana 21:07, 19 August 2005 (UTC)

Tavris

I am satisfied that the Articuno article is complete. I'm going to remove it from the to-do list. If anyone feels otherwise, feel free to re-list it and submit your commentary. Tavris 17:22, 15 July 2005 (UTC)

• Holy cow! If anything, you gave too much info! Good work. Almafeta 17:24, 15 July 2005 (UTC)
  • In all truthfullness, there is one thing the article is missing. There are actually four Articuno cards rather than three, but I was unable to find the text for the fourth one. >> I'll keep looking, but I'm at the moment working on giving the Zapdos and Moltres articles the same treatment as Articuno. Tavris 19:07, 15 July 2005 (UTC)

Team Rocket

Weezing complete. As Scyther is my favorite Pokemon, it bothers me to see its evolution wait on improvement any longer. I'd love to work on Scizor next. -Team Rocket

• Sounds good, go ahead. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 14:49, July 25, 2005 (UTC)

Tessa7338

Hey, I've got a lot of free time, so I'd like to take this on. -Tessa7338, 8.30pm, Singapore/HK time

• Great! How about Vileplume? Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 12:51, July 27, 2005 (UTC)

Vileplume is somewhat done, although for the life of me I can't find any good "Anime Appearences" info. But I added some stuff like movesets and availability. Man, I love this job already... Mind if I go and have a shot at Chansey? -Tessa7338

• LATER... EDIT: I added a lot of stuff to Chansey, doubling the length of the page. Like I said, I love this job already. -Tessa7338
  • Sorry, but I'm going to have to ask you to remove the moveset sections from the two articles. Not only are movesets an inherently POV thing, but Wikipedia isn't a strategy guide.
  • You could replace it with a minor discussion on the moves the POKéMON learns naturally, and possibly through TM (assuming there are any special things, like the Chansey family being the only one that can learn Softboiled, apart from Mew). For Vileplume, consider adding POKéDEX descriptions [2] and/or summarize them into a couple of sentences that explain a little about the POKéMON.
  • And for the record, though you're free to expand other articles as well, you should consider focusing on destubbing one at a time, at least for now. Currently, Vileplume is still a stub, and although Chansey isn't in its current form, the moveset will have to go, and it will return to being at stub length - although it shouldn't need much work to de-stub it. --Pidgeot (t) (c) (e) 02:58, 28 July 2005 (UTC)
    • Not wanting to cause offense or anything, but I included two sample movesets in my Lairon article and I think that Starblind was alright with it considering he seems to have read it.... just curious. Deskana 13:04, 28 July 2005 (UTC)
      • Well, it might just be me, but the way I see it, POKéMON movesets are highly POV, and thus not fit for Wikipedia. Additionally, a good moveset for a POKéMON is very dependent on the rest of the team, as it should be able to counter weaknesses by some of your other POKéMON, as well as provide a good matchup against your opponents (if possible). This makes it impossible to concoct a good moveset for any purpose, since *everything* depends on the situation the player is in. --Pidgeot (t) (c) (e) 14:55, 28 July 2005 (UTC)
• Hey, Tessa. I didn't notice you had expanded the Chansey article, so I expanded it myself and 'claimed' it at the bottom... *blush* Go ahead and add yourself to the bottom too, you deserve at least equal credit. Almafeta 22:05, 5 August 2005 (UTC)

Uncke Herb

Sorry for taking so long, but done Numel. Anymore or that's it? Uncke Herb 03:30, August 15, 2005 (UTC)

• Currently all remaining articles have been assigned, but there is a possibility that some of them will be reassigned, like with Whiscash and Jigglypuff_The_Strong who was assigned it, but never came back since. There are also other things to do apart from expanding species stubs - have a look at the talk page! Sinistro 09:05, 15 August 2005 (UTC)

Unfocused

Gimme something to hate! (I can't promise it won't take a week or two, though.) --Unfocused 17:20, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• Have a Kingler. No rush, this is an open-ended project. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 17:50, Jun 20, 2005 (UTC)
  • Please feel free to double or even triple assign Kingler. I know very little background information about Pokémon, and would probably benefit from cooperating with someone who already knows a bit about it. This will take someone like me much longer than I expected. I still hate the little guy, though.  ;) Unfocused 15:00, 13 July 2005 (UTC)

Assign me a Pokémon please! --Tornado Kid 00:46, 21 August 2005 (UTC)

Unfortunately, WikiPediaAid, all of the articles have been signed up to people or already expanded however, many are still of poor quality. We have created the Poke-maunal of style and wish to enhance all articles to meet this standard. You have various options:

1. Go to The Pokémon Collaborative Project and see what the focus articles are there and try to enhance them. Currently, Bulbasaur is the focus of our creature efforts.
2. As I said earlier, there are many Pokémon creature articles left to bring up to the standard and picking one at random, Metapod needs some work.

Thank you for joining! --Celestianpower ^hab 17:54, 19 August 2005 (UTC)

ViperSnake151

I'm going to do the rest of the 3 birds of Kanto (yep, Thunder and Fire!)

I was invited to do this via a message I got on my IP for my contributations to the Pokemon pages, and I'm good at it too!

Leaves of absence

If you're an active participant in the PAC project and will be away for a considerable length of time, feel free to use this space to notify us. This is not required!

Just thought I'd be courteous to say that I'll be leaving town until early-mid August 2005 on Friday. --Bliksem

I'll step out of expanding Pokémon species articles, and look through pokéstubs (and already finished pokéarticles) to find what we can do to make Wikipedia's Pokécoverage better. Almafeta 18:01, 8 August 2005 (UTC)

I'm having huge problems with my laptop... and due to technical support not being helpful at all, it may be neccessary to reassign my stubs... I've got Aron and Staryu. Sorry. :-( -- Deskana 18:45, 11 August 2005 (UTC)

Strike that, am back! I shall resume my duties... Deskana 21:10, 19 August 2005 (UTC)

I'll be taking a break until Sunday, August 21. I will read my watchlist and do minor edits, such as reverting vandalism, but I will probably not have the energy to engage on any discussion...see you Monday! Sinistro 09:33, 18 August 2005 (UTC)

I'm going to be out of the country on personal business for a few weeks, so I probably won't be on Wikipedia much at all until mid-September. Then again, you never know. - A Man In Black (Talk | Contribs) 16:36, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

Important notice: Pokémon Forever

As of today, 19 July, it appears that Pokémon Forever is closing down - Meowth346 has already removed most of the files, only leaving the dex.

Since there's no telling if or when that will be gone as well, I've salvaged as much as possible by downloading everything with Wget. That way, I'll be able to provide a copy of the pages in case they are removed from his site.

If you find yourself needing information from that site, but are unable to get to it, PLEASE let me know by sending an e-mail. I'll get back to you as soon as possible.

If you need artwork, I can extract it from NoA's POKéDEX (not the same as what was on Pokefor, but it's fully in Flash, so it's easily resizable) - I just need to know what size you want it to be. You can also do this manually by going to http://pokemon.com/Pokedex/characterswfs/1.swf, replacing 1 with the Kanto number of the POKéMON you need. I've taken a copy of these in case NoA change their POKéDEX.

If you need sprites, I've already prepared these (R/S sprites, normal, shiny and small). They are available as a ZIP archive from [3] and as a self-extracting NSIS installer from [4]. The latter is about 200KB smaller, but only usable under Windows. --Pidgeot (t) (c) (e) 21:34, 20 July 2005 (UTC)

I salvaged all the artwork from Pokémon Forever (the Sugimori ones) including the shiny ones that were made by Meowth346. If you need any of those, tell me. --ErezR 03:42, 27 July 2005 (UTC)

Even better! This will let us create some uniformity with the current articles - most of them use the Sugimori artwork. --Pidgeot (t) (c) (e) 22:52, 27 July 2005 (UTC)

I've found images of all Pokemon in a more... "artistic" style at http://www.pokemonelite2000.com/picsanime386.html. Not sure about the copyright on these though. - SmeagolSquid 16:05, 27 July 2005 (UTC)

At least some of them (possibly all the Kanto POKéMON) appear to be from the REALLY old Pokémon.com POKéDEX - from before GSC came out. The rest seem to be the Sugimori artwork seen on Pokéfor (at least, looks like that at a glance), though it looks like they've been compressed badly at some point. At any rate, they should all be able to go under {{pokeimage}}. --Pidgeot (t) (c) (e) 22:52, 27 July 2005 (UTC)

The Ken Sugimori and sprite images are back on Pokefor.. example: [5]. -RealWingus 10:07, 2 August 2005 (UTC)

Card info

I've noticed some of you are including info on the trading cards. If there's any card text you can't find, you can use my card database to find the cards. Let me know which cards you've found, and I'll look them up. I have access to the text of nearly all cards released in English, with the exception of Nintendo's own promo cards (though I could probably find these if needed). --Pidgeot (t) (c) (e) 13:59, 21 July 2005 (UTC)

• This database is excellent. Thanks! --RealWingus 05:04, 13 August 2005 (UTC)

Goals

PAC's current goal is to finish at least 50 stubs a month. Our ultimate goal is to expand every Pokémon stub article. Our current statistics are:

As of December 11, 2005...

We have completed 50 of 65 articles. This month's goal is 76.9% complete. To complete our monthly goal, we would need to expand another 15 articles in 6 days, an average of 2.5 articles per day.

When we set the goal on August 10^th, we had 65 stubs needing expansion. Once we reach it, we will have no Pokémon species stubs left to expand!

Our next task is to go over them all with a critical eye, looking out for grammar, information that is too technical and spelling.

Also: Team Rocket at Wikiquote needs our attention. I have cleaned up the article, removing many non-notable "quotes", but we still need someone who can identify the episodes these quotes originate from. Additional quotes would not go amiss either. I'll try and find some through the internet, but don't count on me only. Sinistro 23:16, 8 August 2005 (UTC)
