Not sure if this is an error, but the 2 introduction movies have their pictures overlap. (pages 1 and 2)

There aren't two movies. There's one which had a scene removed for the first one, but reinserted on the DVD. I put the pics in the correct place

1 in 1365 becoming 1 in 1024 is an increase in chance, not a reduce.

Thanks for fixing the one in the dex completion page, but the one in the ItemDex page is not fixed yet

http://www.serebii.net/black2white2/joinavenue.shtml

a few of the stat-boosting Pinch berries have the wrong descriptions. Specifically, Liechi, Petaya, and Apicot.

That is also still not fixed yet, though I guess you'll fix it when you have more info to add about the Join Avenue?

[Serebii]

Yeah, working on full shop lists and that'd have that list removed

According to this video, the only requirements to battle N every season are to capture his dragon and Kyurem and ride with him on the ferris wheel (Fridays only).

Keiji's original Pokemon is Rhyhorn, not Rhydon.

In addition to that, Hanbei and Ina are still listed as starting with Pichu and Wooper instead of their actual starting Pokemon Mareep and Quagsire.

The ability ordering wasn't fixed yet.

Yeah, I'm trying to find out what is wrong in the database for the ability ordering since it was extracted. Please bear with me

I actually have a new one: Simisage's ability ordering should be Melee, Hero, Instinct.

Also, Lapras' ability ordering should be Shell Armor, Wave Rider, Water Absorb.

You misspelled Dewott's name in the B2W2 entry.

Error: The Paras and Parasect entries on the RBYGSC Pokedex list Paras' evolution into Parasect as taking place at 26 when it actually evolves at level 24:

Hanbee should be Hanbei.
c2Archenemies should be Archenemies.
"Way of the Warrior" should be "The Way of the Warrior".
"The Entertaining Battles" should be "The Joy of Battle".
What's "Proud Battler"? Is it supposed to be "Pride and Precociousness"?
What's "The Strongest Warlords"? Is it supposed to be "The Unparalleled Warrior"?
"Battling The Rival" should be "Archenemies".
I'm fairly certain that "I want to tbe the best!" should be "I want to be the best!".
What's "The Protector"? Is it supposed to be "That Which He Holds Dear"?

Finally, none of the episode names have a period at the end.

I take it you're still having trouble with fixing the ability ordering?

Thanks and yeah, I'm trying to work out what's causing the order shift and whether or not I can create a function to fix it

[CharizardFire6]

Well, I have a new one: Lairon's ability ordering should be Sturdy, Bodyguard, Run Up.

[LDEJRuff]

I noticed a mistake in the Forgotten item section. Mankey has Meowth's Japanese name, "Nyāsu" (ニャース). Can it be replaced with "Mankī" (マンキー), please? Thanks.

Not much is currently known about these games

Here's a new one: Aggron's ability ordering should be Sturdy, Bodyguard, Run Up.

I hope you find out what the problem is.

Error: The area sections for Pokémon Conquest have a lot of nonsensical sentences resulting from the poor find-and-replace job you did when the games came out in English, like this from the Illusio page:

Once you have defeated the Pugilis, the Illusio appears. First, they will invade one of your neighbouring areas, but afterwards you have to face them in an area filled with moving platforms and black holes which change destination constantly.You may not have to battle them yourself due to gaining both Gem & Terreras when you defeat just one

In addition to the extraneous definite articles in front of the kingdom names, the only possible way to understand what "gaining both Gem & Terreras" is supposed to mean is to reason backwards and figure out that this was done by find-and-replace and that Illusio's Japanese name is Gem Nation.

Also, the drop-down in the area sections says "The Ranse region", when it should be "Ransei".

Error: The Best Link page implies that Ginchiyo can't have a perfect link with Luxray, only Luxio; this is misleading and makes people think they shouldn't evolve her Luxio at all for fear of losing the ability to have a perfect link with it. As the warlords page shows, however, Ginchiyo can link perfectly with Luxray just fine once she's reached rank 2. This is definitely worth mentioning; I went through 80% of the storyline canceling her Luxio's evolution after every battle until I happened to look at her entry on the warlords page.

Error: The "Evolving Pokémon & Bushou" page, aside from using the Japanese name for warriors so that players who don't know Japanese will be thoroughly confused by the title, states that most Pokémon evolve through being raised to a certain link percentage, when actually (according to the Obtainable Pokémon page) most of them evolve when a particular stat reaches a particular value. Meanwhile, the page claims Pichu etc. evolve through "Tension" (what is that even supposed to be? Energy?) while the Obtainable Pokémon page states they evolve through reaching a certain link percentage.

Link: http://serebii.net/conquest/evolution.shtml


Error: The Conquest main page still claims it is "upcoming" and that "not much is known about these games".

Link: http://serebii.net/conquest/


...and so on. There's also the lack of clearly making the distinction between Warriors and Warlords on most of the Conquest pages, other outdated information, etc.

Also, since I'm here:


Error: There is still a mathematical error on the IV page that's been there since it was first put up in 2004/5. It has a rearranged version of the stat formula that's supposed to derive the IV from the stat and EV (which is actually conceptually flawed, since you can't just rearrange a formula that involves the floor function, but at least it acknowledges that it isn't quite accurate), and it uses this formula to find that one of two Forretress has the maximum possible HP IV, 31. However, then the author fumbles upon realizing that actually the other Forretress's HP is nine points higher than this one's, and he waves the whole thing off as being because the formula is inaccurate. If the formula actually were that inaccurate, it would be utterly useless. This leaves the reader with the impression that IVs are this nebulous thing that can't be calculated without huge margins of error.

In reality, the author just made an incorrect subtraction when calculating the Forretress's HP IV:

Hit Point IV = ((121 – 43 – 10) * 100 / 43) – 2 * 75 – Math.Floor(0 / 4)
Hit Point IV = ((78) * 100 / 43) – 150

121 - 43 - 10 is 68, not 78. Done correctly, the formula gives the Forretress's HP IV as 9, which (if plugged into an IV calculator) is indeed one of the possible values for the IV.

That page also erroneously implies that IVs are the most important factor in your Pokémon's stats (level, base stats and effort points are all at least twice as influential), is generally poorly written, and the whole idea of using this not-quite accurate formula to explain IVs instead of the actual accurate stat formula from the games that actual accurate IV calculators work from is terribly misleading, but the math error is probably the silliest thing on it.
