Items required to activate events in the event database are incorrect, they seem to be drawing information from the BW items not their correct generation. Example: http://www.serebii.net/events/dex/151.shtml Second to bottom, it states that you need a Water Jewel to activate the Mew event.
Error: All the TCG Pokemon LEGEND cards that feature two Pokemon are supposed to have the opponent pick up 2 Prize cards upon knocking them out. This is not shown on the website text, only on the scan of the card, which causes problems if the card is in Japanese or people don't notice it.
Obviously, one of the two pages is wrong. Was it a mistake to list Wingull as having Twister as a Dream World move, or was it a mistake to say that Wingull doesn't appear in any of the current Dream World areas?
The drop-down list mistakes in the quote above and the romanization mistakes above are also present in the Event Database drop-down list, along with a few other errors:
^Are those really that necessary/important? They're eventually going to be changed again anyway.
Anyways regarding the new 'Statistics' page, there are some errors I noticed:
- Quick Powder raises Ditto's speed by x2, not x1.5.
- Breakable Armour lowers Defence, not Attack.
- Flower Gift boosts Sp.Def, not Sp.Atk.
- No mention of Pigeon Heart preventing Defence drops.
- V-Generate lowers user's stats, not opponent's.
- It should be stated that Sandstorm boosts Sp.Def of Rock type Pokemon by x1.5. Saying that the ability Sandstream boosts the user's and opponent's Sp.Def is incorrect and misleading.
- Lax Incense raises Evasion not Accuracy.
Also, on all Dex pages of Pokemon that aren't wild in HGSS, but are wild in DPPt, it says Trade From DPt. Isn't that a bit confusing for pokemon that are wild in Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, for example Rotom, but some may think aren't wild in Pearl because you're missing a P.
