If you update an answer on this thread, please flag the answer that reported it, so we can check that the problems are resolved and then remove the post from this list.

Please up-vote submissions containing questions that urgently need an update.

Comments contributing to a potential new answer are very welcome, but consider putting them on the actual thread for the question instead of here.

Questions must be at least one week old to be posted here.

Appropriate submissions

DO report:

• Questions whose answers are out of date. (For example, the question might ask for a certain list of moves, and hasn't been updated for recent generations.)
• Questions whose answers are incorrect, or do not contain good advice.
• Questions with incomplete answers, or answers that are too brief to resolve the question adequately.
• Questions with low quality answers (e.g. poor grammar, lack of explanation/detail, lack of referencing, only contains a link).

DON'T report:

• Unanswered questions. This thread is for questions that have answers which are unsatisfactory.
• Questions that break the rules. Please flag those questions instead.
• Questions that are not at least one week old.
• Questions with some up-to-date answers, and some out-of-date answers. There only needs to be one correct answer. If that answer is not selected as best, then you should put a flag on it or message staff.
• Meta suggestions or reports (which are Pokemaster's responsibility, not the community's).
• RMT threads, which are discussion-oriented and have lower importance to future viewers.

Comments

Wouldn't it be better if you condense your answers in a single answer ._.

No, I’ve explained this in the post. they’re to be flagged and hidden once someone updates them, and harder to answer ones are to be upvoted to be kept on top of the thread. This is to keep things organized and clean, and draw new eyes to each individual post. It’s easier to maintain than having to constantly edit posts.

If I had an answer with 100+ links, it’s harder on the eyes. It’ll discourage people from wanting to read it. Imagine a new user doing this with really poor formatting; it’ll be just awful. And then, someone will have to hide every single comment saying “I answered this”, and edit the post. The person stating they commented it would have to be more specific about which post. The amount of edits will clog the activity feed, and the excessive comments will slow down the site. If they’re individual answers, PM can eventually delete the old hidden ones (alongside the comments) to keep things functional. Having them be hidden prevents flood in activity stream. And the organization of it will encourage people to look and answer.

Are we also allowed to mention questions/answers (mainly answers) with broken images or images that no longer exist so someone with Expert+ can remove them?

---

You should just flag those.

I changed the age requirement from one month to one week. I think that's long enough to where the typical thread will drop out of recent activity and need advertising here to be revisited.

Answer 1

Title: Why do some Pokemon in X eat slower than others?
Date: Jun 2014

Description: This question I asked when I was like 11 about Pokémon eating in XY. I didn’t BA it because I felt like it was wrong. The more I think about it, the more I’m convinced it was wrong. The more I test it’s just…. No. Anyways if anyone could fact-check this that would be cool. I mean it’s not wrong wrong but I swear this is different still. It’s different just trust me

Priority: Question has low traffic and is only missing information per anecdotal evidence.

Comments

What are you trying to say? You seem more lost than Dora The Explorer without her map LMAO.

"The more I test this it's just... No."

"I mean it's not wrong wrong but I swear this is different still. It's different just trust me"

Edit: I read that answer and the Bulbapedia article and it seems perfectly fine. Your Eevee ate slowly cause it has a higher Fullness value than Pikachu.

---

Even when they have the same fullness, it’s different. Yes, the answer is correct in that what they meant wasn’t wrong, but even with same fullness they have different default speeds

---

How do you know they have different eating speeds even with the same fullness? Have you tested it before or have a source?

---

… yes, that’s why I said I’m not satisfied with the current answer

---

Oh so you want to know if pokémon with same fullness have different default eating speeds? It's highly unlikely that's the case, because if it was then it would've been discovered till now and mentioned on the Bulbapedia page. The game is 8 years old now, and I don't think such a thing would remain undiscovered. Waiting for someone to confirm this won't help tbh. So yeah, pokemon have the same default speed at same fullness as far as I can see.

---

I think you should ask a separate question that reads: "Do Pokemon eat at different speeds by default in Pokemon Amie?"
If what you describe can be proven then it can be added to the existing answer on the existing question.

Answer 2

Title: What Pokemon have remained in OU since the generation they released?
Date: November 2016

Description: The answer is only up to Gen 6, and many Pokemon were added or changed tiers since then.

Priority: Low

Comments

If a mon fell to UU but rose back to OU before the gen ended, should it be counted?  For example I think Gliscor fell to UU st some point,  but it ended every gen in OU.

---

According to the answer, Gliscor has always been OU, and the answerer only counted Pokemon that have never dropped from OU

---

I think Gliscor fell to UU in gen 6 or 7 for a month or two. It propably shouldn't count Gliscor if that's case.

Answer 3

Title: Gardevoir or Gallade for XY online battles?
Date: April 21/23

Description: OP would like a more detailed answer on which is better.

Priority: low.

Answer 4

Title: Could someone explain to me how to play the TCG in general?
Date: Nov 21, 2012

Description: The answer is a link that is broken.

Priority: low

Answer 5

Title: What are the guidlines for a moveset question?

Description: Pokemaster said in his answer that only experts and above can ask LC moveset questions, which I don't belive is true anymore. (Hehe... I caught Pokemaster himself for an outdated question).

Priority: High, very high view count (especially for meta) and it's an important question, even if the outdated part is very minor.

Comments

That's still true, but I think a better way is to have all of them go through movesetbot/fizzbot so I have made that change. Also that answer is 90% written by me.
