Also, in the attackdex it says Meganium, Typhlosion and Feraligatr can learn the elemental beams (which is correct, through XD) but thier pre-evos can't (which is incorrect).

Actually, it doesn't list them as learning them, at least not in the AG attackdex, because thy don't learn them.
It lists Totodile, Chikorita and Cyndaquil because thay are the ones who 'learn' them on XD. So, it is correct to list the first stages as learning those moves, but incorrect to list their final evos as learning them.
So the problem on those 3 pages is still Bulbasaur, Ivysaur, Charmander, Charmeleon, Squirtle and Wartortle being listed.
I don't mean to be rude, but it would be nice if the errors pointed out were actually corrected Serebii.

The white parts on Dosidon are the same colour as the site's background. This 'problem' is also present in Bunyatto's sprite.

edit: The defense EV page lists Wartortle as giving out two defense points, when it only gives out one (the other is in sp. def).
http://www.serebii.net/pokedex-rs/defense.shtml

Mr. Mime's AG Pokédex page says it gives out 2 speed EVs (at the bottom of the page). That is incorrect, Mr. Mime gives out 2 Sp. Def EVs.

In the Spin-Off Dex, it states that Caterpie, Weedle and Wurmple learn String Shot from Level 1.In fact Caterpie, Weedle and Wurmple learn String Shot at level 2.

Also many attacks have different effects in MD from the other games but this is not shown in the Spin-Off Dex.

Minomadam's Pokédex page lists the TMs and HMs it learns.
http://www.serebii.net/pokedex-dp/413.shtml

However, the TMs and HMs listed are ONLY for the its Grass form! The ground and steel form's learnable TMs can be seen here: http://www.smogon.com/forums/showthread.php?t=13313&page=26

edit: Some of the DP Pokémon are still listed in the AG Pokédex when really, they shouldn't be.
e.g.: http://www.serebii.net/pokedex-rs/bug.shtml at the bottom of the page. Of course their AG Pokédex pages are now redundant too. You can access them by clicking on their names.

For the complete set of Pokemon needed for the Johto Starters (All 200) If you
click on Vulpix (It may be on others too) then it takes you to the G/S/C/R/B/Y/G Pokedex page for it. It's not really a mistake, but can you please update it?

The following pages are messed up. Completely:
http://www.serebii.net/attackdex-dp/beauty.shtml
http://www.serebii.net/attackdex-dp/cool.shtml
http://www.serebii.net/attackdex-dp/cute.shtml
http://www.serebii.net/attackdex-dp/smart.shtml
http://www.serebii.net/attackdex-dp/tough.shtml

And this page has no reason in existing:
http://www.serebii.net/attackdex-dp/shadow.shtml

A ??? move type page should be added over that^, even if its only for Curse.



And sorry, you're probably not even going to read this Serebii, but you have not bothered to fix any of the mistakes which have been pointed out since before SEPTEMBER. Why bother making this thread then? >>

edit: Its gonna be removed soon, but the preview pic for May, we Harley Drew'd Ya is of last week's Battling the Enemy within. Located on the right side bar of just about every page >>

Pippi! Pi!
On Pikachu's pokedex entry, you have him learning anticipate at Lv. 29 (for d/p). I leveled up my Pikachu today, and when she hit level 29, she didn't learn anticipate. She learned feint (FEINTO). I know it was feint because it has a base attack of 50, accuracy of 100, and the description translates to this: "Mamoruya mikiri wo shiteiru aite ni kougeki ga dekiru. Mamori no kouka wo kaijo saseru. (Makes the opponent abandon its protection to attack. Causes protection's effect to cancel.)" That sounds like Feint to me. :p

^He does.

For the list of Abilities in the Game Mechanics page, one of them is No Guard", but if you go into any of the Machamp's family's thing it calls it "No Armour" instead of "No Guard"

Is that why Feint and Anticipate have had swapped info right since you first posted the battle effects and they still haven't been fixed? Sure, you have the right battle effects but the incorrect PP, BP and categories for all of them not to mention there are plenty of Pokemon in the Pokedex listed as learning Anticipate when they indeed learn Feint (Trapinch, anyone?) which leads to widespread confusion.

All the Pokemon in bold are 1st, 2nd or 3rd Gen Pokemon who had an evolution or a pre-evolution introduced in the 4th Gen. When you load their R/S/C.FR/LG/E Pokedex entries on the main site they all show these new evolution chains even though in those games they didn’t exist

Also in Zugaidosu’s Pokedex page it says you can obtain it by reviving a Shield Fossil and in Tateopusu’s entry it says you can obtain it by reviving a Helmet Fossil. It should be the other way around

In Gligar/Glion's DP Dex page their evolution chain lacks a moon symbol to indicate the level up should be done at night.

Thats correct, but as O Fortuna has already mentioned, Serebii WILL NOT change Feint and Anticipate despite them being in each others places EVERYWHERE.

Ever think its because I am a very busy person? I'll get to it when I can but 99% of the errors possted here are incredibly minor so I let them slide. The major ones I fix immediately

Your view on minor errors seems to be different from other people's it seems.
I would say 99% of them aren't 'minor' Pokémon being listed as giving out incorrect evs is very bad for those who want to EV train and don't notice these errors. Why host a page if it has errors like that.
Surely its not too hard to add Charmeleon's egg moves to its DP Pokédex page and add it to those moves attackdex pages?
Venusaur, Charizard and Blastoise's pre-evos being listed as able to learn the elemental beams doesn't seem like a minor error to me. Or two of Minomadam's forms not having their learnable TMs listed? Does that not seem like a major error? Out of curiosity, what isn't a minor error to you?

I appreciate you have a busy life, but some non-minor errors were pointed out by me in September for example and you still haven't fixed them. You know you're site is arguably the best for Pokémon information, and you've done a truly commendable job with it, but seeing as there are some slip-up areas, why not fix those non-typo errors? Do you want to provide visitors with erronous information?

*Agrees 100 %* Serebii, does this seem minor to you?

Chimecho3000 said:
Anyway, why doesn't Charmeleon have an 'Egg moves' list?

Because, since I've already pointed it out and he still hasn't fixed, it must therefore be 'minor' :rolleyes:
