As you know what is a "Poke-Dex", this description is similar to it. It's where you talk about a Pokemon like for Example Darkrai.
You can just Copy/Paste the Poke-Dex into the Pokemon's Profile.
It gives a better view for people who lack knowledge of Pokemon.

Let's try Rayquaza, For new people, it looks like a huge Dragon-Snake thing that can burst flames and it looks like a Robot by it's design.
But for experienced and knowledgable people, it is an enemy of Deoxys. It lives in the Ozone Layer and it's appearance is indistinguishable from that of a Meteor. it is also part of the weather trio.

This description of a Pokemon would really help new users understand a specific Pokemon quickly. And by new users I mean people who lack knowledge of Pokemon.

I don't care though if this is not implemented, because it will be hard. There are a lot of Pokemon right now on PokeHeroes, so this will probably get No Supports.

I have now seen people say "There is a Wiki", The Wiki's purpose is to give EXTRA information about the Pokemon, like attacks, stats, starting level, No. of Evolutions, etc.

What I am talking about is BASIC information, like The Biology of the Pokemon.
Also, people would waste time searching for the Wiki Answers.

Ugh, I'm so stupid. There is already something called as a Pokedex to tell you information about a Pokemon. Sorry for the disturbance.

There's a thing that already does this called a wiki.

No support.

Well basically this is a really nice idea. But well, it's the purpose of the PokeDex to provide information of Pokemon. When I started playing Pokemon with Pokemon Red, I only had the information from the Pokedex, no Internet, nothing. (This sounds like I'm super-old, lol)\r\nBut nowadays with access to Internet, everyone can easily get those background information via Google, Bulbapedia etc. It's not the purpose of PokeHeroes to teach those information, but to breed and collect Pokemon.\r\n\r\nSorry, no support.

I am talking about Basic Information, not everything about that Pokemon.
Wiki's take some time, especially laggy computers. People don't want to open another tab just to search for 1 Pokemon. Maybe some Tags like Scary, Peaceful, Aggressive, etc?

It's really not hard to search for a Pokemon's in Google though .-. If people don't want to do that, then they are beyond lazy, and wouldn't even care if this was to be implemented or not. Wiki's don't lag computers because from what I know, Bulbapedia has no flash on it whatsoever.

This is a clicking game, not a research/information finder game, so this is not necessary. It won't benefit us users if we can easily search for a Pokemon History via Bulbapedia.

Have you used a wiki? You're saying wikis purpose is to provide extra info. Pokemon Wikis provide all info. If people care enough about the Pokemon they'll look it up. If people have such a laggy computer that they can't open a tab to wiki search then please speak up. Let's not speak for those people saying they want this if they don't.

And like you said it'd take a long time to give "basic descriptions" to every Pokemon. And if that basic info came from the wiki then the people might as well go to that wiki. That alone is more reason for no support.

Book, you didn't even read what I said :/
Why on earth should we add all this to the PH wiki when there is already a wiki for EVERY Pokemon. If you would look in the PH wiki, then you could easily look in the original Pokemon wiki.

First of all, that sounded quite rude, since we Wiki Helpers work very hard on the wiki.
The PH Wiki is there to provide users with Event Pokemon's Dex Entries, and information about the PH features.

And since I'm assuming you didn't read my previous post properly, I will post it again.

I only agree with Toothless. Our PH Wiki is a PH-exclusive wiki, providing information on stuff that only appears on PH. Every other wiki, like Bulbapedia, are general Pokemon wiki. So there is no need to unnecessarily fill our wiki with information that can be very easily found in existing wikis.
