:We have a problem. [[Impenetrable Cookie/sale]] is different to what you put here. I'm guessing it's due to version differences (in which case I'll have to edit the template to include NTSC/PAL versions together where applicable).

What is PAL and NTSC stand for, and what's the difference?[[User:Pikdude|Pikdude]] 16:02, 28 December 2007 (UTC) | |||
Ah, a question I didn't know myself, but looked up about 3 years ago. | |||
:PAL, short for 'Phase Alternating Line', (Wahoo! I still remember the beginning of the Wikipedia article!) was invented in Germany. I'll keep it simple: NTSC was already invented, but didn't fit to European power layouts. | |||
:SECAM; 'Séquentiel couleur à mémoire' (rather irrelevant to us, as it's the same Pikmin data as PAL), was made in France. Again for the same reasons as PAL and due to some kind of "protection" of French companies. Well, my memory is kind of blurred to this, but I think there was some kind of odditie with it; saying that it also stood for "System Essentially Contrary to the American Method".... If you didn't understand that, scratch it. Junk. | |||
:Now, NTSC should be 'National Television System Committee', which is basically a company that gave this technology its name. To my surprise, it is also used in Japan (I always thought they used SECAM). | |||
::Long story short: You will find PAL in most of Europe and NTSC in North America and Japan. These two thingies have different data which can give us conficts in articles.--{{User:Prezintenden/sig}} | |||
Oh, then I have the NTSC version.[[User:Pikdude|Pikdude]] 17:22, 28 December 2007 (UTC) | |||
