Mistakes on Serebii.net V2

I just noticed this when looking at the 5th gen Pokemon page: http://www.serebii.net/blackwhite/pokemon.shtml

The first one (ゾロア) is listed as having the romanization "Zorua", but it should be "Zoroa". If it was Zorua, it would have the kana ゾルア.
Indeed it does. However, with the reveal of them, CoroCoro included the official romanisations and it had Zoroa as Zorua as you can see in the screenshot

Serebii, there are a lot of wrong and or missing details on the HG/SS Gym Leader Rematches pages. Some of these have been mentioned but:

1. You have to have beaten Janine before you can get Falkner's number
2. You have to get all 16 badges before you can get Brock's, Misty's, and Blaine's numbers
3) Suicune does not appear until after you have defeated Misty, not the other way around.
4) You need to have all 16 badges before you can schedule rematches with the gym leaders.
5) When getting Lt. Surge's number, you have to capture Zapdos, only capture, not defeat.
6) Daisy will only give you Blue's number after seven massages, not five.

In addition to the above, there is one other error on the HGSS Gym Leader Rematch page, Erika's time away from the gym should be 14:00-17:00 instead of 15:00-17:00.

Also, the HGSS Mt. Silver encounter info in Pokearth needs fixed as it is all messed up.

The weird off-color Purugly sprite was never fixed. Here's a screenshot if you don't believe me.

Look at the non-shiny D/P sprite. The chin isn't supposed to be black like that. Also if you see my avatar the chin is green. My guess is that when you photoshopped the white background out of the sprite before uploading it to the site, you accidentally photoshopped out some of the white in Purugly's body. Anyway, instead of being white, the chin and other parts of the body seem to be erased completely so you see whatever the background color is. If you switch to the psychic-type style on the forums you can really see where the problem is in my avatar. It's also on Purugly's belly, its back, and a spot on its side too.

Small thing, the 4th Gen Dex entry on Aggron, according to the entry you have to evolve Aggron to obtain Aggron in Platinum

On that page, the SS Aqua is listed as going from Vermillion to Olivine on Wednesdays and Olivine to Vermillion on Fridays. It is apparent that Vermillion to Olivine also runs on Sundays, and that the Olivine to Vermillion trip also runs on Mondays.

Also I was wondering if the Goldenrod DAILY draw would be posted there, with the possible prizes seeing as they vary day-to-day like the Pokeathlon prizes. (the draw on the 6th floor of the department store)

On the Pokearth page for the Seafoam Islands, HG/SS, B4F, the list of Pokemon being found by a Super Rod is missing Kingler. I know you can find one, I just caught one and it says so in the Pokedex. Assuming the level range is only 40 since I found two at level 40 and all the rest of the Super Rod Pokemon can only be level 40. Not sure about rarity though. Anyway, I know this is somewhat minor, but Pokearth needs to be correct, otherwise it kind of defeats the purpose.

Ah I think I know why. Somehow Articuno overwrites its database value

Note: All of there are in HGSS

Pokefan Boone is a guy, not a girl. Just need to change the sprite please. Everything else about him is correct.

And Pokefan Eleanor is a girl. So basically just switch the sprites.
Also, she has a Lv 41 Illumise instead of a Tangela.

Understandable since the male Pokefan had a Volbeat.

Route 14- http://www.serebii.net/pokearth/kanto/route14.shtml#4th
You show a girl a Chansey to get the Lucky Punch, not a man.

Route 13- http://www.serebii.net/pokearth/kanto/route13.shtml#4th
Picnicker Ginger has a Lv 41 Whismur, not an Exploud

http://www.serebii.net/heartgoldsoulsilver/tmhm.shtml
TM 41 doesn't have Route 8 as a Location at which you can find it

http://www.serebii.net/pokearth/kanto/route9.shtml#4th
You find an Ether, not an Elixer with Dowsing Machine

http://www.serebii.net/pokearth/kanto/route1.shtml#4th
Ace Trainer Quinn has an Ivysaur, not a Venasaur. And her Starmie is Lv 47, not Lv 51

okay, but in fixing it, i noticed two more problems.

1. i dont know this for a fact, but i dont think the probability of finding a kingler is higher than 5%, i found a ton of them while looking for a seadra. i dont know for sure, im just guessing, but i think you should take a look at it.

2. you replaced krabby with kingler, but i think you can find both krabby and kingler.

Serebii, could please fix this? I'd orignally reported these mistakes like three weeks ago and I figured they'd have a high priority since they're HGSS related.

You can use Rock Smash to find Geodude and Graveler in this area, but there's no list for Rock Smash.

http://www.serebii.net/pokearth/kanto/mt.ember.shtml#frlg-summitpath1f

Ponyta is listed as appearing in this part of Mt. Ember, but it doesn't; that spot should contain Geodude, not Ponyta. Also, you can't use Rock Smash in this area, but there's a list for Rock Smash (the Rock Smash data listed here belongs in the first section I linked to).

http://www.serebii.net/pokearth/kanto/mt.ember.shtml#frlg-summitpath2f

In this area, Geodude has a 95% Rock Smash encounter rate, while Graveler has a 5% Rock Smash encounter rate.

http://www.serebii.net/pokearth/kanto/mt.ember.shtml#frlg-summitpath3f

Ponyta is listed as appearing in this part of Mt. Ember, but it doesn't; that spot should contain Geodude, not Ponyta. Also, you can't use Rock Smash in this area, but there's a list for Rock Smash.

http://www.serebii.net/pokearth/kanto/mt.ember.shtml#frlg-rubypath1f

In this area, Geodude has a 50% encounter rate, Machop has a 40% encounter rate, Machoke has a 10% encounter rate, and you can't find Slugma at all (the Rock Smash data is 100% accurate, though).

http://www.serebii.net/pokearth/kanto/mt.ember.shtml#frlg-rubypathb1f

In this area, Geodude has a 70% encounter rate and Slugma has a 30% encounter rate (the Rock Smash data is 100% accurate, though).

http://www.serebii.net/pokearth/kanto/mt.ember.shtml#frlg-rubypathb2f
http://www.serebii.net/pokearth/kanto/mt.ember.shtml#frlg-rubypathb3f

The encounter lists on these pages for walking around and using Rock Smash seem to have been swapped; that is, the encounters listed in the B2F section are the encounters I would expect to see in B3F, whereas the encounters listed in the B3F section are the encounters I would expect to see in B2F.

http://www.serebii.net/pokearth/kanto/mt.ember.shtml#frlg-rubypathb4f

There are no wild Pokemon in this area, and you can't use Rock Smash here.

http://www.serebii.net/pokearth/kanto/mt.ember.shtml

There's a B5F in the Ruby Path that was never mentioned (but there aren't any wild Pokemon in that section).

http://www.serebii.net/pokearth/kanto/icefallcave.shtml#frlg-b1f

That slot containing Piloswine should contain Swinub instead. The only Pokemon game to date that contains wild Piloswine is Platinum.

I will once I've tested it. Jeez

Just to let you know Serebii, with the additional details for the gym leader rematches that were mentioned match the gym leader rematch details given in the Official Kanto/National Pokedex guidebook that I just picked recently, so those details should be correct.

"Jessoe gets her fifth ribbon"

Right at the bottom of the list of events, you spelled Jessie as "Jessoe".
Also speaking of Jessie, you say that she got her fifth ribbon, but I don't remembr seeing a mention of ribbon 3 or 4. There are only 3 Ribbons listed on her Bio page as well.

Speaking of Jessie's bio page, her description says that she still hasn't won any Pokemon Contests. This needs to be updated.
