Hero of Legend

Advanced Missingno.
I cant add them yet as I've already got all the US Attack Names in the system waiting for the go ahead to reveal

I see, will you reveal them in a similar fashion to which you were revealing the new Pokemon names?

Whether you do or not, when can we expect to see the US names?

Also, I've been browsing the Pokemon Games website and I saw a pic of Manaphy that says it's 1ft and 3lbs, but you have it listed as 1ft and 3.1lbs, if you know that real US (lack of a better term) measurements of the new Pokemon, can you fix them?

Here's Manaphy's pic from the site:

Same thing goes for Turtwig, who's listed on the US Pokemon Diamond & Pearl website as 1'04 and 22.5lbs, while you have it listed as 1'03 and 22.5lbs.

Same for Chimchar, the official site has it as 1'08 and 13.7lbs, while you have it as 1'07 and 13.7lbs!

Here's that site:

Get my point?

Since you knew the names and know the attack names, you should know the true measurements, and it obviously won't hurt to add them to the site's Pokedex!
 
Australia are starting the Battle Frontier episodes on Saturday and America has finished the series but it still says in the Anime section America is still up to Viva La Pasta.

Not know if this counts but...

Misty also owned a Golduck in this episode:http://www.serebii.net/anime/epiguide/orange/093.shtml

But it doesn't show it in her bio...
Because she didn't own it. She used it in battle, but it was never hers.

Garchomp's name is still its mispelled japanese name.

http://www.serebii.net/diamondpearl/abilities.shtml
Pidgey, Pidgeotto and pidgeot are STILL missing as Pokémon with the Tangled Feet ability, which, is still listed as Unstable Gait.

As for these last errors, wasn't sure they should go here or in the Pokédex/ Attackedex error thread, since they regard the spin-off Pokédex.

http://www.serebii.net/spindex/
Shelgon is listed as Shellgon in the drop down list.

Espeon's spindex page
Eevee's spindex page
Umbreon's spindex page
In addition to their respective ribbon, Espeon and Umbreon also require IQ of 5 stars, or 'intelligence' as you put it on other Pokémon's pages, to evolve from Eevee. They are only listed as needing the ribbon.

http://www.serebii.net/spindex/172.shtml
Being level 50 is not enough for Pichu to learn Volt Tackle, it also needs 333 or more points in IQ, or 'intelligence'.

http://www.serebii.net/spindex/003.shtml
Being level 99 is not enough for Venusaur to learn Frenzy Plant, it also needs 333 or more points in IQ.

http://www.serebii.net/spindex/006.shtml
Being level 99 is not enough for Charizard to learn Blast Burn, it also needs 333 or more points in IQ.

http://www.serebii.net/spindex/009.shtml
Being level 99 is not enough for Blastoise to learn Hydro Cannon, it also needs 333 or more points in IQ.


One last error which is really, all over the site, and while being minor, I do care about, is the spelling of Ho-Oh's name. It is Ho-Oh, not Ho-oh.
example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mV89hXtTQrY In Mystery Dungeon, you can see this clearly, as the pokémon's names are not in all caps.
example2: http://www.serebii.net/picture.php?TCG/Unseen/027.jpg The cards also confirm this.

Just me
Serebii, you replied to this thread after my previous post. Please fix that blatant misinformation about individual values. This is not just about Serebii.net; it's about all the fresh Pokémon sites out there that look up to your site as a God of Information and will take anything for a fact if you say so and put it on their websites too. You are NOT the person who wants to be wrong about the significance of IVs.

If you don't fix this, I've been toying with the idea of making a public statement on my site to explain why you're wrong there just for the benefit of potential webmasters. =/

On the latest update, Serebii says that the clocks go an hour backward, but they go - at least in Holland, where I live - 1 hour forward
Just a little mistake =P

Mistakes on New Poke Names?

According to Pokexperto, who you co-released the names with, Vespiquen ;416; is actually Vespiqueen ;416;, and Porygon-Z ;474; is actually PorygonZ ;474; (without the hyphen). Are those the correct names, and if so, can you fix it on the site?

No, our names are correct. Pokexperto's arent

Game Mechanics Mistake

It still says in the Nintendo Events section in Game Mechanics that you get Manaphy through a Special Event, which we now know isn't the case because of the code. It also says "Below are...the the egg in."
 

DarkLatios

SHINE GET
This isnt a mistake or whatever, but Clairs anime bio is very confusing. On Clairs bio, you say that her Kingdra knocked out Pikachu, then lost to Snorlax. On Gyarados, it says that it knocked out Snorlax, but lost to Pikachu. 2 questions on this:
1: Who was send out first, Gyarados or Kingdra?
2: If Pika got ko-ed, how did it beat Gyarados? Likewise, if Snorlax got ko-ed, how did it beat Kingdra?

A few abilities have errors in them.

Synchronize: The opponent can't get frozen by this ability, at least according to Smogon.

Guts: The Pokemon's attack doesn't get raised each turn as far as I know.

Thick Fat: This ability lowers the damage received by Ice and Fire attacks, it doesn't prevent the Pokemon from being Frozen or Burned.

Flash Fire: Doesn't only the Pokemon Special Attack rise?

Run Away: You always run from wild battles.
 

Mini Minun

Twin Bolts of Light
No, Run Away doesn't alwasy run away from wild battles. you can, but you could choose not to do so.

Shieldon is mispelled as Sheildon.
Mismagius still has its japanese name.
Garchomp is mispelled as Gachomp.



http://www.serebii.net/mysteriousdungeon/bosses.shtml
"Massive Attack" isn't a boss, but just a normal random Monster House, so it should be removed from that page.

Mew is also not a boss, and considering this is a page on the bosses in MD, it shouldn't be on that page. "Not being a boss persay" isn't a justification to have them on the BOSS page. Especially the Monster House, which can pop up in almost all the dungeons, bar the majority accessible in main story mode.

The Mankey trio in Uproar Forest however, ARE a 'boss' so they should be listed on there.

The second paragraph on the page says all bosses after Zapdos have a save point before their mini dungeon, but this only applies to Zapdos, Moltres, Articuno, Groudon and Rayquaza (whose mini dungeon isn't even 2 or 3 floors, but 8 (minus the one its on).

The last paragraph on the page is also very misleading. Skarmory, "Blue Team" (which should be Team Meanies), Latios and the Mankey trio are all gone when you return to them, so they cannot be befriended (not that they could be in the first place. Kyogre, Regirock, Regice, Registeel, (Mew,) Jirachi, Lugia and Deoxys can all be befriended the first time you encounter them too.

And Zapdos doesn't know Thunder btw.
