== Bulbagarden glitching ==
Bulbagarden doesn't want to pull up in my browser.  When I tried pulling up the forums but, it comes up as:
Oops!  Your browser could not connect to bmgf.bulbagarden.com.
Does any one know what's going on?  Plz Reply.{{unsigned|Lugia Maniac}}

== Generic templates ==
Why is Bulbanews still using a lot of generic templates, unlike Bulbapedia and the Bulbagarden Archives? For example, the boxes on the left sidebar of the page and the tab-like buttons at the top of articles are using generic MediaWiki templates and not the Bulbagarden-style ones. The "Character palette:" template for editing posts is also inconsistent with Bulbapedia and the Archives. Can someone please fix that? It's because it looks inconsistent and out of place with the other Bulbawikis... [[User:Pokemon lover|Pokemon lover]] 11:33, 22 March 2012 (UTC)

:Basically, we don't want them, but it really isn't usually worth the time to fix them. They're old news articles that are very rarely read by anyone. And since only staff can edit Bulbanews articles, and staff are generally busy, they are likely to stay that way. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 15:31, 22 November 2012 (UTC)

== Pokémon X and Y in Korea before Japan ==
I won't normally do this but Bulbagarden forums doesn't seem to be working and I'm not sure how to make a new article here so I'll just post it here. The official Korean Pokémon website has announced that Korea will be able to play Pokémon X and Y (the same one as Japan) before Japan from the 17th of August. It will feature Mega Evolutions and Pokémon-amie. The exact times are
17/8/2013-18/8/2013 12:00 - 21:00
25/8/2013 12:00 ~ 21:00
31/8/2013 - 1/9/2013 12:00 ~ 21:00
It will be held at 서울특별시 강남구 삼성동 코엑스 몰 내 반디앤루니스 정문 앞 "Soeul City Gangnamgu Samseongdong Coex Hall in the front gate to Bandi & Luni's".--[[User:Wowy|Wowy]] ([[User talk:Wowy|talk]]) 11:42, 12 August 2013 (UTC)
:To be clear, the announcement says nothing about being same one as the Japanese one. That was my own thought--[[User:Wowy|Wowy]] ([[User talk:Wowy|talk]]) 11:46, 12 August 2013 (UTC)

== New glitch in Emerald allows any Pokémon to be obtained. ==
Twitch streamer Werster, known for his Pokémon speedruns, has found a glitch in Emerald that allows you to obtain ANY Pokémon.
The videos of his discovery, in order are:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zXGLIzPlOMQ
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1eT4LSacTr4
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nOEwPnv2TFM
Each video builds on the previous, by the last one he managed to figure out enough about the glitch to use it to get any Pokémon (namely a Deoxys)
Given the significance of this glitch (a gen3 equivalent of the Mew glitch/Celebi egg glitch), should it be reported on? [[User:1quacka1|1quacka1]] ([[User talk:1quacka1|talk]]) 10:12, 14 May 2014 (UTC)
== Newbie question ==
I've never submitted an article to Bulbanews and I don't think I have time to write, edit and submit one at this moment. Is there any way to submit news to be reported on to editors here so that a professional article can be written? I considered tweeting the news (specifically, the announcement of Pokémon: Symphonic Evolutions http://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-news/pokemon-orchestral-concert-tour-announced/ ) to the Bulbanews account but wasn't sure if that was the right way to get the news to someone who could write an article. --[[User:AndyPKMN|Andy<sup>P</sup><sub>K</sub><sup>M</sup><sub>N</sub>]] [[User talk:AndyPKMN|(talk)]] 18:37, 30 June 2014 (UTC)
:That's one method to get a story idea to us, but you can also directly leave a message on the talk page of an active editor and we'll try to get one writter or pass it a long to someone who can get one written. Additionally, you can post in the  [http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/forumdisplay.php?f=195 Bulbawiki General forum] on the Bulbagarden Forums, or send an e-mail to the editor at [mailto:[email protected] [email protected]].

== ...What happened here? ==
There hasn't been a new news article since November. It's been so long that there's no articles showing on the Bulbapedia main page. Someone started an article for the Totodile Community Day, but nothing ever happened with it, and someone on Bulbapedia said that Bulbanews has been discontinued??? I... I mean, if this is true, where was it ever announced? I don't see anything on here that says anything to that effect, and I would think that there'd be SOME kind of announcement if that was the case. What's going on here? [[User:Missingno. Master|Missingno. Master]] ([[User talk:Missingno. Master|talk]]) 16:17, 7 January 2019 (UTC)
