Look in here before asking a question!

Lots of questions here, which is good, but some are repeats and kind of annoying, so I've taken the time to compile this list of threads that have been solved. Please realize there are over 900 threads in this subforum. Not everything is listed yet. I've gone through 2 of 19 pages so far.

Also, please please please take a quick look at the wiki if you're trying to do something that should be simple enough to do. There's plenty of information there for you to look at. Including formats and explanations for them. The forum is not a place to dump your questions for others to answer! It should be your last resort!

Nice job, although this is probably impracticable to maintain updated.

I always save useful information in my PC since the Poccil era in his huge thread..

I like answers/procedures that can be reused for people that have the same questions, some sites that follow this way became very successful like stackoverflow. I believe that the best way of done this here is to make a tutorial for the more detailed answers/procedures and link the answer on the thread to the tutorial. I does this several times and believe that is the best way to help more people.

Certain content of some threads that you listed can be converted to useful tutorials and will help more people like:

-How Can I add 8-way Movement?
-Force pokemon to PC Box (silently)
-Randomized Map Music
-Uncatchable Pokemon
-Non-Removable Pokemon

And I agree and support your wiki tip.

Thank you. I will probably write some tutorials when I have more time, but I think this is a good start. I agree that the more common questions should have tutorials made, but from what I've seen many just come here to dump a question the second they get an error. (I know, because I used to do it lol)
