(# getting conflicting info from different sources, will look into further. Edit: Can't get the sources to agree, Serebii, Bulbapedia and Smogon's GS page all disagree with eachother and none of the other decent itemdexes I can find have it. I think from the other item info bulba is probably the most reliable, and it's values are very close to Serebii's. Since its a very minor point (and only matters against Pokemon it should never be used against).. either this can go up and be edited when we have confirmation, or you can just put a note saying something like "The exact figures need research.". I posted in the research thread in case anyone else can get confirmation.)

Please tell me if I'm doing something horribly wrong.
 
I will get these on-site once the list is fully finished. At a quick first glance, most of the issues are just standardization or capitalization errors which can be changed during upload. For example, use DPP instead of DPPt as the abbreviation for Diamond/Pearl/Platinum, and status (eg. frozen) is not capitalized.

Otherwise it looks fine.

Great, and thanks for the fixes. I will do a more careful check over this once all the items are in to avoid more things like those.

Is now a key item. It can be traded in the Cerulean/Vermillion Underground for TM64 (Explosion).
ah, silly mistake. looked at the wrong generation/assumed no difference. Thanks for catching it.

Also, should I add something like "Only in the game data of HeartGold and SouldSilver.", "Not in the game data of Diamond, Pearl, or Platinum." or "Only obtainable in HeartGold and SouldSilver." to the end of all items it applies to? Or leave it since most items don't have info about which games they are found in?

Edit: Added in the fixes, added a bit more to other things.

Edit 2: Added more, almost done.

Other than the two items that there is incomplete/conflicting information available on (Heavy Ball and Rock Capsule, I posted in the research thread asking), I think this is done. If it could be checked over it would be great.

Now being able to see the SCMS database, it seems that most of these have actually already been written but not added to the big list, I'm going through to see if any of mine will be useful.

Edit: I think that many of my descriptions should still be added, for example the Ball descriptions I give have the catch rate bonus, and there seem to be a few errors (e.g. "Net Balls cannot be used during Trainer Battles." on the Heavy Ball page). If the two are pretty even may as well keep the old ones, but if it's ok I'll still go ahead with much of this. A few are still missing, and my edits at the bottom still apply. Spoke to Ashley and he's fine with me putting them on SCMS, I will be doing an extra check as they are added to be sure of stuff. Also worked out a temporary solution for the two items that good info can't be found for.

(sorry for the triple post)

Edit 2:
Added everything that needs to be from the big list (making many fixes/changes as I went), mingot helped check/cache them. Would like to do a consistency/content check on the rest of the dp items before Colin runs his script to add everything properly.
