'''Bulbanews senior writers''' are users who have been granted powers to write articles by the {{bn|board of editors}}. They sit directly above the writers in the Bulbanews staff hierarchy, and are seasoned reporters who understand Bulbanews style and policy.<br />
<br />
Senior writers generally have their own particular areas of interest, which are denoted below. If you have a query about a specific news article or news subject, it may be best to ask a writer who understands the section of the franchise to which your question pertains.<br />

<br />
==Powers==<br />
The senior writer group may be compared to the senior administrator group on Bulbapedia. Senior writers are able to:<br />
* Write articles without going through the draft process<br />
* Publish other contributors' articles<br />
* Edit all protected pages<br />
* Protect pages from editing<br />
* Delete articles<br />
* Block troublemaking users<br />
* Check user IP addresses<br />
* Suppress redirects when moving pages<br />
<br />
==Becoming a senior writer==<br />
Writers may be promoted to senior writers after a period of service to Bulbanews in which they have shown that they understand both Bulbanews style and policy. Senior writers may have to interact with the userbase more than writers do, so good people skills are important.<br />

Released early to Targets via the [[bp:XY_TCG_Series_merchandise#Hoenn_Collector's_Album|Hoenn Collector's Album]], packs of Primal Clash are available for $4.99 over a month before the sets official release date. The Primal Clash expansion will be available February 4, 2015.<br />
<br />

The expansion pulls the 160 cards from the Japanese [[Gaia Volcano, Tidal Storm leaks online|Gaia Volcano and Tidal Storm expansions]], and adds in a currently English exclusive Kyogre and Groudon pair, and two reprints. The two reprints are an alternate artwork of {{TCG|Flashfire}} {{TCG ID|Flashfire|Spheal|24}} and a new artwork of {{TCG|Energy Retrieval}}. The Ancient Trait Full Art cards come as both regular cards, and they come in Reverse Foil. Further updates will be posted to [https://twitter.com/BulbaNewsNOW BulbaNewsNOW on Twitter] and Bulbapedia's pages on the {{TCG|Primal Clash}} cards.<br />

The Twitter accounts of Nintendo of Europe and Nintendo UK have announced the release of two new Pokémon themes featuring Primal Groudon and Pikachu. These new themes will hit the European 3DS Theme Shop this Friday, November 21st.<br />

These themes were announced alongside three new Super Mario themes and a free Sonic Boom theme, which are all being released on the same date. <br />

The price for the Pokémon themes was not revealed, but they most likely will not be free because the tweet only mentioned that the Sonic Boom theme will be free.</div>Funktastic~!https://bulbanews.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Category:November_17,_2014&diff=53564Category:November 17, 20142014-11-17T23:11:42Z<p>Funktastic~!: Created page with "{{DayCategory|11|17|2014}}"</p>

The Twitter accounts of Nintendo of Europe and Nintendo UK have announced the release of two new Pokémon themes featuring Primal Groudon and Pikachu. These new themes will hit the European 3DS Theme Shop this Friday, November 21st.<br />
<br />
These themes were announced alongside three new Super Mario themes and a free Sonic Boom theme, which are all being released on the same date. <br />
<br />
The price for the Pokémon themes was not revealed, but they most likely will not be free because the tweet only mentioned that the Sonic Boom theme will be free.</div>Funktastic~!https://bulbanews.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Crystal_Red_and_Blue_Nintendo_2DS_announced_for_American_release&diff=53486Crystal Red and Blue Nintendo 2DS announced for American release2014-11-13T06:37:45Z<p>Funktastic~!: </p>

Images from the latest issue of CoroCoro Comic have surfaced. They include information about a new key character in {{bp|Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}} called Higana, as well as the {{bp|Legendary Pokémon}} to be available in the {{bp|Hoenn}} region. Images are currently low quality, so information is difficult to gleam.<br />
<br />
Higana is described as a mysterious woman and a special person who holds the key to the story, on a trip to accomplish her objectives. She uses a {{p|Whismur}} and {{bp|Mega Evolution|Mega}} {{p|Salamence}}, and has what appears to be a {{bp|Key Stone}} around her ankle.<br />
<br />
{{p|Deoxys}} and Mega {{p|Rayquaza}} will do battle in a part of the game's story called "Episode Delta".<br />
<br />
The pages also mention 18 {{bp|Legendary Pokémon}} that can be encountered in the {{bp|Hoenn}} region: {{p|Regigigas}}, {{p|Regice}}, {{p|Regirock}}, {{p|Registeel}}, {{p|Cresselia}}, {{p|Heatran}}, {{p|Tornadus}}, {{p|Landorus}}, {{p|Thundurus}}, {{p|Terrakion}}, {{p|Virizion}}, {{p|Cobalion}}, {{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Mespirit}}, {{p|Azelf}}, {{p|Suicune}}, {{p|Raikou}}, {{p|Entei}}.<br />

== Possibility of Pokémon Anime, Manga, and Games being banned in Japan ==<br />
<br />
Okay, Here's the rundown: Recently, a law was passed in Japan that banned Anime, Manga, and Games for virtual depictions of crime and other stuff. However, it didn't ban real-life depictions of crime and other stuff.<br />
<br />
Here's the link to the article revealing this:<br />
<br />
http://www.sankakucomplex.com/2010/12/13/tokyo-anime-manga-ban-passes/<br />
<br />
This might need to be noted in the article, since there is a possibility that Pokémon might be affected. [[User:Weedle Mchairybug|Weedle Mchairybug]] 13:24, 17 December 2010 (UTC)<br />
:Go ahead and write a draft one. If it's deemed important enough (which it probably will), it will be published. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 00:28, 18 December 2010 (UTC)<br />
::First off, don't plagiarize. Second, how is Pokémon a virtual crime? What was banned pertains to video game depictions of real-life crimes, i.e. Grand Theft Auto, Call of Duty, etc. Pokémon, on the other hand, is in a fully alternate universe wherein the action is not a crime - plus, last I checked, no kid has been arrested for having a tadpole squirt water at a plant.--'''[[User:Immewnity|<span style="color:#88AADD">''immewnity''</span>]][[User talk:Immewnity|the]][[Special:Contributions/Immewnity|mew]]''' 22:10, 18 December 2010 (UTC)<br />
:First of all, I didn't plagiarize, I actually cited my sources. Logic would dictate that if I cited my sources, I would not have been plagiarizing, as I gave credit to the person who wrote the article in the first place. Second of all, the point of the article was about how anime was going to be banned for not only things relating to virtual depictions of crime and other things, but also for stuff like sex and all that, trying to eliminate pornography. Heck this is an ongoing controversy in even the Anime Forums of PokéFriends. Plus, it is overall similar to animal fighting, anyways, which is a crime.<br />

== Gamerbase Tournament Removal? ==<br />
Heya, I was just wondering why my submitted article about the fifth PokémonWorld-PokéCharms-Gamerbase tournament was removed when it was still a developing story? Considering how the articles for the last few tournaments have been allowed on, and the other developing story "Unconfirmed: Pokémon Black and White Europen release date confirmed!" is still up there; despite the title being a contradiction, the article containing no text and having no reliable sources. If it's an advertising issue, I would have understand if not for the earlier tournaments having their articles published. Besides, they're not Wi-Fi Tournaments - their RL, and although they're unofficial tournaments, the last two have received prize support from Nintendo (the point in the article about the main prize not being 100% confirmed is because although Gamerbase have stated it as a prize, the webmaster of PokémonWorld can't remember getting any confirmation from Nintendo about getting a DSi XL for this tournament).

Why is Bulbanews still using a lot of generic templates, unlike Bulbapedia and the Bulbagarden Archives?

And since only staff can edit Bulbanews articles, and staff are generally busy, they are likely to stay that way. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 15:31, 22 November 2012 (UTC)<br />

== Pokémon X and Y in Korea before Japan ==<br />
I won't normally do this but Bulbagarden forums doesn't seem to be working and I'm not sure how to make a new article here so I'll just post it here. The official Korean Pokémon website has announced that Korea will be able to play Pokémon X and Y (the same one as Japan) before Japan from the 17th of August. It will feature Mega Evolutions and Pokémon-amie. The exact times are <br />
17/8/2013-18/8/2013 12:00 - 21:00<br />
25/8/2013 12:00 ~ 21:00<br />
31/8/2013 - 1/9/2013 12:00 ~ 21:00<br />
It will be held at 서울특별시 강남구 삼성동 코엑스 몰 내 반디앤루니스 정문 앞 "Soeul City Gangnamgu Samseongdong Coex Hall in the front gate to Bandi & Luni's".--[[User:Wowy|Wowy]] ([[User talk:Wowy|talk]]) 11:42, 12 August 2013 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:To be clear, the announcement says nothing about being same one as the Japanese one. That was my own thought--[[User:Wowy|Wowy]] ([[User talk:Wowy|talk]]) 11:46, 12 August 2013 (UTC)<br />

<br />
Hi, thank you for helping out here! However, deleting unneeded redirects isn't anywhere near as important here as it is on BP, especially since there is a smaller amount of staff able to delete pages, it clogs up the recent changes which can make it hard to find articles that need to be fixed, and it will likely take a long time to get done. Please slow down on tagging pages.

The official Japanese Pokémon website has revealed that a special called "Strongest Mega Evolution - Act I" to be aired on April 3. The special will focus on Mega Evolutions and will star an original main character named Alan:<br />
<br />
"This tale centres on the development of one young trainer, Alan, and his partner {{p|Charizard}}. The goal of Alan's Journey is to challenge every Mega Pokémon to stand as the strongest on top. Their journey unfolds with them battling many Mega Evolved Pokémon. And then battling the Elite Four's {{bp|Siebold|Zumi}}. Zumi's Mega Evolved Pokémon is? What's Alan's reason for being so obsessed about Mega Evolution? The outcome of this journey will be?<br />
<br />
Points of Note:<br />
*1. The entrance of a completely original main character<br />
*2. Charizard mega evolves into Mega Charizard X<br />
*3. Alan has the Mega Ring like in the games. He has a hero like catchphrase to introduce mega evolution<br />
*4. Big battles with Mega {{p|Absol}} and Mega {{p|Garchomp}}!<br />
*5. Zumi appears in the anime! Transcendent battle between Mega Charizard X and Mega {{p|Blastoise}}."<br />
<br />
This is one of two specials to air this spring. <br />
