This article surely needs a lot of work.... I need more info on PAs in various games and I haven't used most of them. I hope others have got more information about them. TorrentTAM 08:40, February 14, 2011 (UTC)TorrentTAM

I have plenty of info on the PA's for the first 3 games, since I recently replayed them to a 100% completion. I will be filling out these sectiosn in due time. There are a few suggestions I would like to throw out there and see the feedback before I commit to severely changing anything. I hope someone can look over these and comment on them as they see fit.

Recommendations:

-separate the Zeta and Omega PA's from the first game into two distinct PA's;

-remove the "Appearences" tab from each table and arrange PA's based on games they appeared in;

-under the "Battle Chips" tab list all possible combinations of chips for that PA (as opposed to just saying 3 chips of the same code);

-decide whether to use a direct description from the game for each PA (in the case of MMBN2 and later), which is usuallly very vague, or whether to use a more explenative self made description that gives more information, such as how to use the PA or details of its mechanism. Or use both? such as, "Description" (from the game) and "Explanation" (personal details).

I think I'm going to make changes according to the recommendations. I will not do all of them (as my knowledge isn't that extensive), but it gives a cleaner start. This is what I'm going to do:

- Remove the "Appearances" tab from each table and arrange PA's based on games they appeared in (meaning that there will be repeats between games).

- I think it's good to keep both an official "Description" that comes from the game as well as an "Explanation" to elaborate more (making it more encyclopediac).

I'm also going to try to make them have uniform formatting (for the most part) between each other.
