Joshuamanimtim2: /* Generation V */

==Routes==

I'm not so sure that a Gen V game ''has'' to start its Route numbering system from 301 just because Hoenn and Sinnoh use a similar method. A Gen V or so game could actually link two previously known regions. There are still Routes 47-100 and Routes 135-200 still unaccounted for. ~[[User:SaturnYoshi|'''$aturn''']][[User:SaturnYoshi|'''¥oshi''']] [[User talk:SaturnYoshi|THE VOICES]] 15:19, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

:Indeed. Not only is there no precedent or fundamental reason to believe it will be the case, the contrary is more likely to occur. Hoenn and Sinnoh are based on Kyushu and Hokkaido, respectively, which are the only islands in Japan - other than Honshu - arguably big enough to be adapted as regions. By this I am suggesting that Generation V is more likely to revisit Honshu, of which there are plenty of as-yet unexplored territories. If that were to happen, the numbering system would no doubt pick up from Route 47, regardless of whether Kanto or Johto were included in the game.

:Some might also argue that Shikoku, which is another Japanese island, is not too small to serve as the basis of a new region. Supposing that they had a point, the numbering system would still be likely to pick up either from Route 47 or Route 135, due to Shikoku's proximity to both Honshu (in particular the area encompassed in Johto) and Kyushu.

:Those are really the only possibilities involving Japan, and the pattern does suggest that Generation V will be based there. It is important to remember that the transition to Hoenn and then to Sinnoh entailed exploring new territories far enough from previous regions. Now that both Hoenn and Sinnoh are familiar places, that can no longer be done within Japan. -[[User:Unown Lord|Unown Lord]] 13:01, 18 June 2008 (UTC)
::I think it's more to discourage people from being "LOL JOTOE IZ IN RUBBY N SAFIRE" and "LOL HOEN IZ IN DAIMIND N PERL". Though I do agree, they could go and hit whatever's north of Kanto and Johto next time around... the problem would be whether or not to link back to those two or not to.

:::If the Eeveelutions "pattern" continued in Gen V, then we would either see no new Eeveelutions (Gen II added 2, Gen III added none, Gen IV added 2) or only a Dragon-type Eeveelution (as all of Eevee's current evolved forms are types that were considered "Special" prior to Gen IV; technically, however, this would break the pattern, as only 1 new "Special"-type would be introduced, rather than the usual 2). Hopefully they will begin to create Eeveelutions based off of the types that were previously "Physical"; I'd really like to see a Steel, Fighting, or Ghost-type Eeveelution (Bug...not so much).

Man u have got to be kidding me Arceus catch rate should not be 3. I used my Action replay to get the item 4 arceus then i went and caought it on my 5th dusk ball. My friend caought it on him 1st ultra ball. Another friend i gave the item 2 caught it on his 2nd qiuck ball.
:Man, you have to be kidding me, you can't even spell the word "you" right. Arceus's catch rate is 3. If you'll notice, those balls multiply the catch rate formula by quite a bit, which greatly increases the chance to be caught. Plus, it's all on luck, I've had Magikarp break out of balls before. --'''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 22:36, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

==Is there a point...==
Is there a point of having a table for each of the plates when it is attached to Arceus?
We could just have Arceus without a plate, and then have each title with an image and a sentence saying what type Arceus changes to.
For Example:

==Type effectiveness==
===No plate equipped===
{{DP type effectiveness|
type1=normal|
Normal= 100 |
Fighting=200 |
Flying= 100 |
Poison= 100 |
Ground= 100 |
Rock= 100 |
Bug= 100 |
Ghost= 0 |
Steel= 100 |

Fire= 100 |
Water= 100 |
Grass= 100 |
Electric=100 |
Psychic= 100 |
Ice= 100 |
Dragon= 100 |
Dark= 100 }}

:::Since when was pokemon ever ethical? Think about it, the aim of the game is to run away from home at 10 years old (good parenting skills mom) and after having abuse a poor little starly to the brink of death by slashing it over and over again with false swipe you throw something at it, only adding to the poor creature's pain and torture only to trap it inside a small, cramped chamber for the rest of its unnatural life whilst using it to abuse other pokemon. But anyways I digress, the point is the piece of fanart looks nice, is accurate and fits in perfectly with all the official pokemon artwork. Hell when I first visited the page I thought it WAS a piece of official artwork. A PBR snapshot would not be at all as effective as the fanart. So no, we ain't havin a PBR shot.

:::::The artwork in question is drawn by Seyanni of Deviant Art. If no one has contacted him yet for permission, I could see if I can get a PM through, though I'm not sure if this would be the correct thing to do in this case. The fan art is, as mentioned above, not completely accurate, as Arceus has one more line running across its face, and the "wheel" on its body is also conflicting with what is shown not only on the sprite, but what is shown in PBR (a more pointed frame, with gems in the crosses, not green circles). If there's no permission (currently not proven) and because it's innaccurate, isn't the right thing to put the sprite up until the official art is revealed? However, if the quality of the sprite is the concern (many seem to be worried about the overall look of the page), perhaps I could offer you the rights to use my art on this page? It's 100% PBR and sprite accurate, and the quality is clear and it looks professional. I'm not trying to start another image battle here, but I do believe that if the overall look of the page is the concern, coupled with the accuracy of the fan art, then my work would fill the role. If you're willing to look into it, I'm Xous54 on deviant art, and the work I'm willing to allow use of is http://xous54.deviantart.com/art/Official-Pose-of-Arceus-100490528 .

My Mew used Judgement through Metronome. Should I include something like this under "Trivia":

Although Nintendo is attempting to keep Arceus secret, it is possible for Arceus's signature move, {{m|Judgment}}, to be used through {{m|Metronome}}, thus potentially revealing the existence of Arceus to otherwise unaware fans.

== Shishigami? ==

Should any mention of the Forest Spirit Shishigami from Miyazaki Hayao's Mononoke-Hime be mentioned in the article? Arceus seems to have a resemblance to Shishigami. In addition, on the illegal hacked Pokémon Diamond (Telefang Power), Shishigami appears on the front, despite not having anything to do with the game (that's the way those criminals work), and then in the real Pokémon Diamond, Arceus was added. Does anyone else think that some trivia should be added about this? ~Kumori Satosuke
:Outside of the whole quadrupedal thing, I don't think there's anything else that's official to suggest a connection.

Just a theory, but the programmers at Game Freak may have drawn and programmmed a ??? type Arceus to prevent game crashes. Anyone with a code patcher can figure out how to change a Pokémon's type. They might have figured that someone would tamper with Arceus's type, and if they changed it to a ??? type, and there was no sprite for it, the game would crash because it would try loading data that does not exist.

[[Image:Question-Type Arceus Before.jpg|thumb|left|Before]][[Image:Question-Type Arceus After.jpg|thumb|right|After]]How long has the sprite of ???-type Arceus been pulling that vanishing act?

Once the white backgrounds vanish, the rest of the sprite should still be there. However, on ???-type Arceus, the sprite vanishes along with the background, as seen in the After shot. Is there a way to fix this?

I think I figured out the vanishing act. It's due to the filename. Many operating systems don't allow question marks in filenames, and it's probably due to those that caused the image to vanish.

Every instance of the vanishing image has been changed to the one that doesn't vanish, so you won't be seeing vanishing ???-type Arceus again anytime soon. --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 16:37, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

Arceus is already in the game (I actually have it (with the help of an Action Replay of course)), so this page doesn't need to go anywhere. Little do people know, Arceus is probably watching the whole time the player is beating up Team Galactic and catching Dialga/Palkia, seeing as the platform Arceus is on is floating over the Spear Pillar.

First off, this kind of stuff didn't appear until Silver. Second off, it is ''very'' couched in uncertainty, and it is ''never'' said that its actually been shown to possess every type of DNA - ''only that its ability to perform any move has generated that rumor''.

Second off, several Pokémon are completely artificial, such as {{p|Grimer}}/{{p/Muk}}, {{p|Castform}}, or {{p|Porygon}}/{{p|Porygon2}}/{{p|Porygon-Z}}. So, how could Mew be considered their "ancestor", or have their DNA, if its supposed to be the "first Pokemon"? Wouldn't having the DNA of Pokemon who appeared completely separate from any genetic lineage instead imply Mew was their descendant?

Porygon is even said to be "A Pokémon that consists entirely of programming code." So, no DNA at all, and its upgrades are said to simply have had AI installed.

Even allowing for the monstrously egregious interpretations of genetics in the series, the idea that having all the DNA of a group makes you its ancestor is hogwash - its entirely the other way around.

Now, lets look at Arceus, and its info.
*It is told in mythology that this Pokémon was born before the universe even existed.
*It is described in mythology as the Pokémon that shaped the universe with its 1,000 arms.
* "Two beings of time and space set free from the Original One."
* "Three beings were born to bind time and space."
* "Two make matter and three make spirit, shaping the world."
* "The Original One breathed alone before the universe came."

Now, this is ''much'' more explicit than the Mew bit '''ever''' was. It makes it absolutely clear that Arceus came ''before even the universe itself, much less other Pokémon'', and that it in fact created the world and life itself. Once could claim that this is uncertain do to its status as "mythology", but that would be hilariously in denial of how the series has used mythology so far - as an origin story, not as something by definition uncertain or false.

How is there even a dispute about this? If it's a retcon at all, it's a fairly small one - it was clear from the beginning that the bit about Mew being the origin had a contradictory explanation.

Now, what could work is that Mew is supposed to be god-like like Arceus and other Legendaries - in this case, it would logically be some scion of life, which would in fact explain its design. If the bit about Mew containing all other DNA turned out to be "true", in the context of the franchise, then this would also make much more sense than the pseudo-scientific jargon used in Silver - Mew contains the DNA because it is the ultimate personification of life/birth, and the scientists are trying to force a contradictory explanation for the oddity in order to deny its true, supernatural origin.

So can we please stop claiming things like the D/P Pokedex "still stating that it's the ancestor of all pokémon", or that "it's no different than people believing Arceus is the creator"? [[User:KrytenKoro|KrytenKoro]] 06:14, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

::ummm... "Uncertain", If I recall correctly, it can learn "Transform", which, unless I'm mistaken, involves the recombination of it's own DNA to match said pokemon that transforms. And, since Ditto's Pokédex entry hints that how it transforms involves it recombining it's DNA to match the pokémon it's trying to match, the same can easily be said for Mew. So, really, considering how it knows transform, and it can transform into a lot of pokémon, even legendaries that were supposedly created before it, it still has merit in regards to having the DNA of all pokémon, and thus being the ancestor of all pokémon.

::As for the Porygon/2/z example, considering the mere fact that Mew can transform into these three pokémon DESPITE apparantly not having their DNA, I think that those Pokémon have a miniscule amount of Mew's DNA (otherwise, how can Ditto [Or mew, for that matter] transform into them?].). Besides, just because they are composed entirely of AI (whether it's the free will kind or not doesn't matter) doesn't mean it can't have DNA. Take the Mega Man series (specifically, the Mega Man X subseries through the Mega Man ZX series.), the Reploids were mentioned to be complete Machines (all derived from X's design), and yet the games also mentions that they have DNA (Reploid "DNA" was used to form the Nightmare Virus, and also revive Necromances III, Harumachine, Blizzard Staggoff, and Copy X. Plus, Axl's ability involves him mimicking his enemies (and in the case of Command Mission and [Technically] ZX advent, even bosses.).

::And anyways, Mew can also transform into Grimer, Muk, and Castform, which, if Mew didn't have their DNA, then how can Mew OR Ditto even transform into them?

::Also, about it's pokedex entries, both of them contradict themselves. I mean, one says that it was born before the universe existed, and yet, the other hints that it was born a little while AFTER the Universe was created, and that all IT did was merely "shape" the universe. Plus, it doesn't even HAVE 1,000 arms in its sprite, and not only that, but It also apparantly can't even learn any attacks involving arms, such as all of the punch variants.

::as for the origin book, that ALSO doesn't mention Giratina (yet, anyways, for all we know, Platinum could add it in.), and plus, that same thing hinted that Dialga and Palkia are two halves of Arceus, but then, why cant they merge together (I mean, Dragon Quest, and Mephiles the Dark could do it without much trouble from programming data, so why cant D/P)?

::and anyways, the legends also hinted that Legendaries can't be captured by mere mortals, yet most of the crime syndicates, the Pyramid King and even the protagonist has been wielding these pokemon as if they were nothing.

::That's my ruling as to how the thing isn't retconned (well, that, as well as the fact that, if it was, then wouldn't they have removed the entry from the Pokédex?) [[User:Weedle Mchairybug|Weedle Mchairybug]] 10:49, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

lets remember that game physics are different from animé physics. Dialga, Palkia and giratina symbolise physics of the Pokémon world: time, space and dimensions,so if Arceus is the master of them that wouldn't make sense:creationism and science don't go together. Mew can transform its appearance, but not the nature or unique functions of a Pokémon, and if we follow good sense we can also say that it can't copy Pokémon which evolved in a special way because their not ''original'' like trading its bioligical fusion of item and Pokémon DNA.--[[User:Nobody777|Nobody777]] 12:40, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

:I'm pretty sure that it can copy even those that evolved in a "special" way in even the Anime. Remember, Weavile evolves from Sneasel via the Sharp Claw item, which also fits under the special way, and despite that, Mew STILL transformed into that pokemon in the Lucario Movie. If it can evolve through something like that, I'm pretty certain that it is even ancestral to those pokemon who evolve via special means. [[User:Weedle Mchairybug|Weedle Mchairybug]] 13:50, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
:::Wait, '''''what?''''' You're saying that ''because it can do something that '''Ditto''' can do'', it must be the ancestor of all Pokemon? Wouldn't this also require Ditto to be the ancestor of all Pokemon?
:::'''Porygon''': Then you are making up things contradictory to the established in-game facts in order to force in your own fan-theory. Almost every Pokedex entry for the Porygon line reiterates that they have NOTHING but programming code.
:::'''MegaMan X''': It is never, ''ever'' stated that the robots are "completely mechanical" - that they have souls, DNA, and can merge with living things pretty much makes that theory impossible. DNA is a very specific thing - it's ''not'' a general concept about information derivation, it's a ''specific organic acid''.
:::'''Axl''': His ability has NOTHING to do with DNA, and is never claimed to. It's essentially analogous to what Transformers do.
:::'''Muk''': I didn't say that Mew didn't necessarily possess the DNA of all creatures, though that's not the only way to copy them. I said that claiming this meant it was the ancestor was so completely ignorant of evolution and genetics that it deserves ridicule.
:::However, Ditto is able to copy them because it is an amoeba, and can change the shape of its body at will. To be fair, it is ''once'' said to be able to copy the opponent's genetic code - which would only work AFTER seeing the opponent. As that is EXACTLY how Transform is described anyway, that theory is blown out of the water.
:::'''Arceus' Pokedex''': This is a bald-faced lie. The pokedex entries in no way claim that Arceus came to be after the Universe existed - at best, they claim he came before it, created it, and shaped it.
:::'''Arms''': Have you considered the fact that it could have lost them, or given them up? It is the only Arceus in existence, by the very necessity of its being, so its not going to be something like "They're all born without the arms". It "set free" all those legendaries from itself - maybe it made them from its arms, like so '''very''' many Creation Myths, ''especially the linked Pangu one''.
:::You could also consider that "1000" is often used in Japanese writing to mean "many", instead of a specific number, and as the trios of matter and spirit are considered extensions of Arceus, they could be its "appendages" in a spiritual sense. Seriously, that part of its Pokedex isn't contradictory ''at all''.
:::'''Merge''': What does this have to do with ''anything''? Why would Dragon Quest have any bearing on this?
:::'''Legends''': In the games? No, the legends don't claim that, so the fact that certain legendaries fight with trainers is not contradictory, regardless of your false assertion that it's "like nothing". In the anime, where the legends imply that messing with them is incredibly dangerous to the natural order...well, I'll just let you watch the movies, or something, and try to claim that it's "like nothing".
:::'''Remove''': Why would it be removed? It never claimed anything that was '''false''' - again, '''''it only claims that fictional scientists have a tenuous, uncertain belief based on one of its abilities'''''. The deliberate uncertainty of the Pokedex entries, in contrast to nearly every other Pokedex entry, even for Legendaries, has to be considered. If it's not simply a monstrous misunderstanding of genetics on the game designer's part, then it's almost certainly meant to be a reference to "Supernatural vs. Naturalist science".
::::''"If it can evolve through something like that, I'm pretty certain that it is even ancestral to those pokemon who evolve via special means."''
:::Again, this is inherently contradictory. If these are supposed to be new Pokemon, who only came into existence through a modern item, how could Mew possibly be said to already contain their DNA just because it can ''copy their form''? Remember, Porygon is said to be completely artificial, not an accident like Muk or Grimer.
::::''"lets remember that game physics are different from animé physics. Dialga, Palkia and giratina symbolise physics of the Pokémon world: time, space and dimensions,so if Arceus is the master of them that wouldn't make sense:creationism and science don't go together."'''
:::If Arceus is their master, then that would be in-game science. Science is the pursuit of ''truth'', not the pursuit of purely-materialistic explanations whether it's the truth or not.
:::Also, Giratina would symbolize the afterlife, or some other term for "The Other", not dimensions - "space", in the concept referred to by the triad, would necessarily contain dimensions already, parallel or measurable.[[User:KrytenKoro|KrytenKoro]] 05:46, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
::::I'm not SAYING that Ditto necessarily IS the ancestor, I only brought it into the picture since it's the only OTHER pokemon to know Transform. And besides which, the Pokédex entry for Ditto explicitly stated that it can transform by rearranging it's Genetic Structure (in other words, it's DNA) to that of it's target. It ALSO replicates their move set and, unless I'm mistaken, even their stats and natures.
::::actually, the Pokedex contradicted ITSELF in that case. I mean, if it doesn't have ANY DNA, then Ditto (not to mention Mew) couldn't transform into it OR it's family, and we all know that it can. Try and get a ditto, and try to face off against Porygon or it's family members in your games, and use transform against it if you don't believe me.
::::Ahem... when I said "Mega Man X" I mean from the Mega Man X saga ALL THE WAY to Mega Man ZX saga. In Mega Man Zero 4: ''Intro: The Reploids... They were robots designed to look like humans... these '''technical marvels''' were given unique personalities and were intended to be the perfect workers and the perfect partners of mankind...'' Later, Dr. Weil says something that would hint at Reploid being COMPLETELY mechanical. This is when Zero encounters him at the Ragnarōk core: Dr. Weil: ''Justice!? Freedom!? Worthless ideals! '''You Reploids are Just Machines, but you started a war a long time ago in the name of freedom!''' And Humans! Look what they did to me! Driving Me away while spurting the word "Justice!"'' And don't assume that he knows nothing about Reploid Physiology since he worked on reviving Reploids prior to his banishment from Neo Arcadia, and besides which, the reason why he was banished was because he created Dark Elf and augmented Zero's original body to become the horrific Omega, as well as instigated the Elf Wars. That shows that he knows quite a LOT about Reploids.
::::as for Axl, it was indeed DNA. in fact, Model A, whose personality (as well as his abilities and the form that Grey/Ashe take on when Megamerging with Model A) is clearly Based off of Axl, and would have easily been labeled as a reincarnation of Axl if Master Albert didn't say that it was actually "Model Albert". Heck, after beating Buckfire in the game, he explicitly mentions that he absorbed Buckfire's DNA, which would allow Grey/ashe to transform and utilize his abilities at will.
::::It also mentioned that Mew possessed the DNA of all Pokémon, though (and anyways, just saying that it "possesses the Genetic code for "pokémon" pretty much implies ALL Pokemon.). And that's what I was saying about Transform the whole time. I mean, Ancestors have to have the DNA of ALL Pokémon to actually be labeled as an Ancestor of all pokémon.
::::As for the Arceus entry, the way Pearl's Pokedex entry was worded made it seem as though it Shaped the universe as soon as it was born. And anyways, the Origin Myth implied that Arceus was the creator of the universe, whileas Pearl's Dex entry stated that it merely shaped it.
::::How can a god lose arms? I mean, Did Ares become one-armed? No, he didn't, and he has fought several wars where something like Decapitation or losing some part of limbs can be considered inevitable, esp. during his time.
::::Lets see, because the Origin thing mentioned that Dialga and Palkia are two halves of Arceus, and, if they were truly two halves of the same being, then having them both in your party would gain you a new arceus. but it doesn't.
::::Let's see, because only the Crime syndicates, the Hero/ine, and in one case, a BF leader, was able to capture legendaries. Also, in the Anime, the only time that the legendaries actually CAUSED a natural imbalance was in "Pokemon 2000", which even THEN, it was hinted that it was actually caused by territorial disputes rather than because it was captured in and of itself. most of the other movies and anime related things that featured legendaries didn't have the legendaries causing all Hades to break loose right when they were captured. Besides, as common in many mythos, A god simply cannot be captured by Mortals.
::::Because, if they didn't HAVE DNA, then Mew and Ditto CAN'T transform, since the move Transform requires the Genetic Code of a pokémon. Besides, that was directed at the guy who said that those who evolve via trades and items can't be related to Mew.
::::No, it's in game Mythology. The Origin story is nothing more than one big myth.
::::And yet it's constantly implied that Giratina is listed among Dialga and Palkia.
::::Anyways, that's all for now. [[User:Weedle Mchairybug|Weedle Mchairybug]] 11:25, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
::'''Ditto''': Your logic was that, because it can use Transform, it must be the ancestor. Either this implies that Ditto is also the ancestor (a contradiction), or you need to not make such claims. Its inherently self-contradictory.
::While Ditto's profile ''does'' sometimes say that it '''copies''' (not already possesses) the opponent's genetic code, it also says that it is "Capable of reorganizing its cells to transform into an exact duplicate of its enemy. It is usually a shapeless blob.", and that it can transform to resemble a rock. It is explicitly clear from the Pokedex entries, the description of Transform, and how Ditto is presented in the series, that it is merely ''reshaping it's '''own''' genetic code to '''resemble''' something else''. Because, as we all know, ROCK's DON'T HAVE DNA.
::The description of Transform, and how Ditto uses it, does ''not'' require that the opponent has DNA, only that Ditto does. ''Please keep this in mind''.
::The definition of "machine" does not require that something be purely inorganic in nature, and neither of the quotes you provided really even claims anything near that. Weil's quote, in that case, is emotional, and almost certainly pointing out his view that Reploid's are inferior and by nature servants of humans. This is the view used by ''all'' the villains in the Zero series, and is actually a ''huge'' part of the conflict. Play the games again.
::'''Axl''': No, it's not DNA. It's never said to be DNA. It's said to be a special ability of his, to transform his body. Model A, while designed to be a callback to Axl, is NOT Axl. However, I grant you that the Shittenou are said to have been derived from X's DNA. As Reploids are ''never'' said to be completely mechanical, and DNA is only mentioned as belonging to X and the Shittenou (notice that in ZX, Reploids and organics ''have been combined anyway'' - play the game again), it doesn't support your claim that something purely mechanical or programmed can still have DNA.
::'''Ancestor'': No, it says that some scientists ''claim'' that based on its abilities. '''You need to get that through your head''', and stop claiming that the Pokedex outright claims these things. You should also learn that your concept of "ancestry" is completely, utterly flawed, with no basis in any kind of genetics, and absolutely ridiculous. I'm sorry to be so harsh, but it's outright folly. That's NOT how an ancestor would be determined.
::'''Pearl''': You are again twisting or inserting things into the Pokedex that are not there in order to fit your views.
::'''Arms''': Hephaestus. Hercules. Pangu. Ymir. Odin. Please, think before spouting - gods are ''very'' prone to lose parts of their bodies.
::'''Halves''': First off, it doesn't. It claims they are two parts of Arceus. There is ''no basis'' in science ''or'' mythology for what you claim - Pangu and Ymir don't suddenly come back just because all the pieces are there. Two halves of an apple don't rejoin to a full apple just because they are there.
::'''Capture''': Pokemon 2000, in which the sea itself sprung forth, Pokemon the Movie, in which the world almost drowned, Pokemon 3, in which UNOWN nearly crystallized the earth, Pokemon 4Ever, in which messing with Celebi caused the forest to become a rampaging monster, Jirachi Wishmaker, in which messing with Jirachi caused the earth to come alive as a rampaging monster, Rise of Darkrai, in which Dialga and Palkia being disturbed nearly rent apart time and space...nearly every movie follows this format. Don't be so dense. Why would the world ''immediately'' come apart, anyway? If you removed the moon, it would still take some time for the seas to destabilize. As for your assertion that gods cannot be captured - you clearly have no knowledge of mythology. Such a thing is rife throughout Norse, Greek, Roman, Chinese, Japanese, Native American, African....nearly every mythology has such a thing happen. Only Abrahamic religions, where the ''sole'' God has absolute power and absolute perfection, has a deity invulnerable to human effort.
::'''New Pokemon''': First off, I didn't say all new Pokemon didn't have DNA, only that some of these included Pokemon who are explicitly said to be purely artificial. Second off, ''you really need to actually look stuff up before claiming things'' - your claims about, well, damn near everything in this discussion have almost no basis in what the game's have actually said. Transform requires the USER's DNA to be changed to cause the USER to resemble the opponent. There is no intake of DNA, and it would be ridiculous to claim that Ditto already has a databank of all DNA (remember, it can turn into Ash - is Ditto Ash's ancestor?)
::...it would be mythology (a story which explains the origin of the world) AND science (an experimentally fact-checked story which explains an empirical truth). Mythology is ''not'' equivalent to "lies and untruths".
::'''Giratina''': ...um, yeah. Which is why I explained that it can't represent something ruled by one of the others.[[User:KrytenKoro|KrytenKoro]] 22:37, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
:::As I said in my previous post, I wasn't implying that Ditto is the ANCESTOR (I only brought it into the picture because it's the only pokémon aside from Mew to learn Transform. Did I SAY that Ditto was the ancestor of all pokemon? no, I didn't.).
:::And that's why I differentiated between Mew and Ditto, see, Ditto needed to copy the DNA, yet it is hinted repeatedly even in DP that Mew's DNA contains all of Pokemon (more than just moves, also stats and typings to a certain extent [I.E. Transform]. Heck, it can even utilize Judgement if it wanted to (Not by move tutor's of course, but definitely via Metronome.). That's what makes Mew the ancestor. Besides, there's more to being an ancestor than just being there first. You must ALSO be genetically related. I'm not going into the DP thing since you're obviously missing the idea.
:::Ok, I'l agree with the Norse gods (though to be fair, it wasn't caused by Mortals), but Hercules was a half god, meaning, he can still be mutilated significantly by mortals with visible scarring.
:::Ok, I already covered Pokemon 2000, and the Unown weren't TRUE Legendary Pokemon. Also, The only thing caused by the capture of Celebi was the forest pokemon being POed, that Mecha didn't count since Iron Masked marauder made that mech. All Celebi did was just act as the core. Heck, Ask Blackjack Palazzo if you don't believe me, since she also mentioned that as well. I'll acknowledge Jirachi, though. As for the Rise of Darkrai, Humans weren't even responsible for Dialga and Palkia fighting, they just met when they ended up in a bad mood. Also, Mewtwo tried to do those actions to try and earn the right to exist (though most of that was eliminated from the Dub, sadly.). As for what you stated, if gods CAN be captured by mere mortals, EXPLAIN why Pirithous couldn't even capture Persephone without having his own butt stuck on a bench for all of eternity?! Heck, name one story where Zeus or any of the PURE gods were captured by mere mortals and forced to do their bidding by the Mortals command. Also, just FYI, I just mastered AP Latin, so DON'T say I'm not knowledgeable in Mythology in the Graeco-roman kind at least.
:::And for the last time, I didn't IMPLY nor state that Ditto even HAD a databank of DNA, that attribute belongs to Mew, and Mew alone.
:::Sheesh, sometimes you guys are impossible.[[User:Weedle Mchairybug|Weedle Mchairybug]] 23:00, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
::::It doesn't matter whether you explicitly say that Ditto is the ancestor - you're reasoning relies on claiming that the ability to use Transform is an indicator of having the DNA, and being the ancestor. Just by looking at Ditto, that's false. Being snarky about it doesn't change the fact that you're wrong.
::::Clefairy also has metronome, so Metronome cannot be an indicator of being the ancestor. To be the ancestor of all Pokemon, all Pokemon must be your descendants. Dialga and Palkia are clearly and explicitly descendants of Arceus only, unless Mew is Arceus' ancestor, which would be contradictory to what we are told. Again, you are confusing something the game frequently reiterates is a rumor, with what the game puts forth as exposition.
::::...what the hell do you mean "to be fair"? I never claimed that mortals caused the gods to lose body parts, and its completely irrelevant to discussion. As for Hercules, he became a full god after his original death.
::::....okay, I'm just going to post back your original post on this sub-topic, because you seem to have a bad memory:
:::''"and anyways, the legends also hinted that Legendaries can't be captured by mere mortals, yet most of the crime syndicates, the Pyramid King and even the protagonist has been wielding these pokemon '''as if they were nothing.'''"''
::::Mewtwo, the only Pokemon I can think of that was actually wielded by a "crime syndicate", caused those actions because it was PO'd about ''being used by humans''.
::::As far as I can tell, your implication with that passage was that Legendaries weren't the god-like beings that the legends indicated - ''yet their actions, even in The Rise of Darkrai, explicitly demonstrates that they are''. Whether a human actively screws with them or not, they ''can and will'' rip the world apart if they're in a bad mood. I'm also unaware of the legends implying that it's impossible to capture them - only that it's impossible to safely enslave them.
::::Wow...you pass high school latin, and you deem it logical to choose ''one'' example from ''one'' mythology to claim that ''all'' mortals in ''all'' mythology will never have the upper hand against ''any'' god? I'm definitely out of my league here!
::::Some other examples:
:::::''...Zeus then ordered Hades to chain Sisyphus in Tartarus. Sisyphus slyly asked Thanatos to try the chains to show how they worked. When Thanatos did so, Sisyphus secured them and threatened Hades. This caused an uproar, and no human could die until Ares (who was annoyed that his battles had lost their fun because his opponents would not die) intervened, freeing Thanatos and sending Sisyphus to Tartarus.''
:::::''Tantalus offered up his son, Pelops, as a sacrifice to the gods. He cut Pelops up, boiled him, and served him up as food for the gods. The gods were said to be aware of his plan for their feast, so they didn't touch the offering; only Demeter, distraught by the loss of her daughter, Persephone, "did not realize what it was" and ate part of the boy's shoulder.''
::::Yes, those who mess with the gods get it in the end - but isn't this ''exactly'' what happens to those who mess with the Legendary Pokemon? Even innocent play with pseudo-legendaries like Unown can endanger the world.
::::...I don't know how I can make this more plain:
:::::'''''You claimed that Mew's ability to use Transform meant it had to be the ancestor, and brought up Ditto as a "evidence" for your interpretation of how Transform worked.''''' Now, when confronted with this, you claim that the ability to use Transform does not imply something is the ancestor. '''''Make up your mind'''''.
:::::Actually, to be fair, you don't actually bring up this glaring inconsistency. You just try to avoid the contradiction, and try to "eat your cake and have it too."

To summarize:
#Mythology, as portrayed in the series, is quite reliable.
#Arceus' mythology is neither self-contradictory, nor unique among real-world mythology.
#The claim about Mew having the DNA of all Pokemon is not only contradictory to the explicit facts about artificial Pokemon such as Porygon, but never even claimed as fact, only as a rumor.
#Transform, as described in-game and as demonstrated by Ditto, does ''not'' require a databank of all DNA. It merely requires the ability to change shape, or to replicate another's DNA.
#Metronome, as described in-game and as demonstrated by Clefairy, also does not require a databank of all DNA.
#Claiming that Mew is the ancestor of all Pokemon is inherently contradictory to the stated claims about Arceus, Dialga, Palkia, Mesprit, Axelf, Uxie, and Heatran.
#Even before considering the contradictions in the total mythology, '''''The idea that having a copy of all of a group's DNA implies you are their ancestor is inherently ridiculous and contradictory. It is the opposite of how genetics and inheritance actually works, even on the most basic level. It can be immediately refuted by a thought-examination of a child and his two, un-related parents.'''''

::Yeah, and besides, if we were to mention that we should eliminate the Mew dex thing as proof that it may not be retconned just because scientists believed that it was the ancestor of all pokemon, then by that same token, we should eliminate Arceus's Dex entry as proof that it is retconned since it says that it's believed to be the creator of the universe in MYTHOLOGY, in other words, it's believed to be the creator of the universe by a LIE!

Here is how I belive it is done It just like the Greek Mythology

Mew created Arceus
Then Arceus created the Universe
Then he created Time and Space (D and P)
it just like how Chaos created Gaia and Gaia created Ornoas and they had the Titans

Its the same thing here all over

Remember in the 2000 Movei the Titan of Fire Ice and Lighting

And I Belive they have called some other Pokemom Titans before also

It all the same thing its Pokemon version of Greek Mythology

I think it's kind of wierd to have the rock sprite in the evolution section when it starts out in normal forme without any items on it.

== Japanese name ==

How can there be a romanization if the Pokémon hasn't been revealed? Where did this romanization come from? And don't try to tell me it's just what the kana says, because it hardly ever is. And you can't even write "rs" in kana. Which means this comes from somewhere. So ''where''? [[User:Flicky|Fli]][[User talk:Flicky|cky]][[User:Flicky/Latin|1991]] 19:06, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

*Not directly, but the u in ル isn't always vocalized (ス　often does this as well, and occasionally シ　and a few others also do). It's impossible to write in kana, but it's not impossible use in roumaji, because roumaji is intended to be written the way it's pronounced (this is also why the official romanization methods collapse (o)(-), (o)(o), and (o)(u) into ō). Strictly speaking the kana are (A)(ru)(se)(u)(su), but it's pronounced 'Arseus.'[[User:Sailorleo|Sailorleo]] 03:13, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

::That's not the point - it's still not official. I only added the Japanese phonology bit in so no-one would argue about that.
::...so, basically, that was a major fail.

Should we note that Arceus is the Alpha Pokemon, and not the Omega Pokemon? This seems to imply that there is still another Pokemon that is stronger than Arceus. [[User:Master Lucario|Master Lucario]]

:Well, its classification as the "Alpha" Pokémon only applies to the English games, as it was classified as the "Creator" Pokémon in the Japanese games. (Right?)

d) Learnset sections are I) Using Ghost-Type borders, II) Using Ghost-Type rather than Normal-type STAB, III) Using Judgement as Ghost-type rather than Normal-Type, to make STAB (but makes sense)

History of the Pokémon world

2008-10-13T04:37:09Z

Joshuamanimtim2: /* Games */

{{incomplete}}
{{cleanup}}
'''The history of the [[Pokémon world]]''' is known to us today, because the histories have been passed down as legends from generation to generation. Nobody knows if it is real or not, but there are some symbols that proofs that these legends are real.

Below here is a timeline of events in the history of the Pokémon world, primarily those established in the [[canon]] of the [[Pokémon games]], since these apply most to other forms of canon. There is also a separate [[Timeline of events in the anime|timeline of events]] for the [[Pokémon anime]].

==Timeline==
===Beginning of the {{pkmn|universe}}===
This information is based primarily on [[Sinnoh myths|the mythology]] of both the [[Sinnoh]] and [[Hoenn]] regions.

* Beginning of universe
** {{p|Arceus}} comes into being.
** Arceus creates the [[dragon trio]] and the [[lake trio]].
** {{p|Giratina}} disappears into the [[Ruined World]].
** {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}} create matter, space, and time.
** {{p|Azelf}}, {{p|Uxie}}, and {{p|Mesprit}} create spirit.
** Arceus falls into a deep sleep.

* Creation of [[Pokémon world]]
**{{p|Groudon}} is formed from magma, {{p|Kyogre}} is formed by the pressure in the deep sea trenches, {{p|Rayquaza}} is formed by the minerals of the ozone layer.
** {{p|Groudon}} brings the land, {{p|Kyogre}} expands the sea.
**{{p|Mew}} is born.
** Groudon and Kyogre [[Pokémon battle|battle]], destroying nearly all the [[Hoenn]] region.
** {{p|Rayquaza}} stopped the battle between Groudon and Kyogre. Both Pokémon had fallen into deep sleep: Kyogre was sealed into the Deep-Sea Seafloor cavern, and Groudon was sealed on the Mystic caves of [[Mt. Chimney]]. Red and Blue Orbs were created and guarded in the high peaks of [[Mt. Pyre]] to prevent the awakening of Kyogre and Groudon which will start into a battle.
**{{p|Rayquaza}} had fallen into a deep sleep and sealed away into the ancient [[Sky Pillar]].
**[[Mt. Coronet]] is created.
**{{p|Regigigas}} moves the continents.
** The Sinnoh [[region]] is created around [[Mt. Coronet]]
**[[Stark Mountain]] is created, {{p|Heatran}} is formed from lava.

===Prehistory===
This information is based primarily on the study of [[Fossil|fossils]] and archaeological remains.

*Millions of years before [[Generation I]]
**Earliest known [[Fossil|prehistoric Pokémon]] exist.
* 10000 years before [[Generation I]]
** The [[legendary golems]] are created.
***Stone Age: {{p|Regirock}}

**{{p|Regigigas}} becomes sealed away in [[Snowpoint Temple]].
**{{p|Mamoswine}} population decreases after ice age.
** A mysterious mutation causes the anscestors of {{p|Doduo}} to have two heads.
* 1500 years before [[Generation I]]
** The earliest known system for writing is developed and used at the [[Ruins of Alph]], [[Tanoby Ruins]], and [[Solaceon Ruins]]. Archaeologists are currently unsure whether the nearly identical {{p|Unown}} preceded or succeeded the writing system, but it is assumed they share some sort of connection.
**{{p|Shaymin}}, {{p|Celebi}}, {{p|Jirachi}} are born, {{p|Shaymin}} brings an abundance of plant life, {{p|Celebi}} travels through time, and {{p|Jirachi}} begins its 1000 year sleep for a 7 day wish.
**{{p|Darkrai}} is born on [[New Moon Island]] and {{p|Cresselia}} is born on [[Fullmoon Island]], {{p|Darkrai}} summons nightmares on [[Pokémon]] and people, and {{p|Cresselia}} cures the trail of nightmares Darkrai left on them.
**{{p|Kyogre}}, with the help of {{p|Manaphy}} and {{p|Lugia}}, expand the sea.
**Herds of {{p|Latias}} and {{p|Latios}} are born.
**Swarms of {{p|Lunatone}} and {{p|Solrock}} fall into Earth from space.
**Farfetch'd population decreased by hunting.

===Recent history===
This information is based on historic records.

* c. 700 years before [[Generation I]]

**The first Pokémon created by scientific engineering, {{p|Porygon}} and {{p|Castform}}, are created.

===Contemporary history===
====Games====
* Years prior to [[Generation I]]
** {{p|Mewtwo}} is cloned from {{p|Mew}}, and later escapes and destroys [[Cinnabar Island]]'s [[Pokémon Mansion]].
** Sabrina's gym is declared the offical gym of Saffron City after a deciding match between her and the leader of the Fighting Dojo.

* [[Generation I]]/[[Generation III]]: The events of [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Red, Blue]], [[Pokémon Yellow Version|Yellow]], [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed, LeafGreen]], [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Ruby, Sapphire]] and [[Pokémon Emerald Version|Emerald]].
** {{ga|Red}}/{{ga|Leaf}} leaves [[Pallet Town]] on his/her Pokémon journey after their rival, [[Professor Oak]]'s grandson, {{ga|Blue}}. After getting the eight [[badge]]s of [[Kanto]], defeating [[Team Rocket]] along the way, he/she challenges Kanto's [[Elite Four]], then its current champion, none other than Blue himself. After defeating Blue, Red/Leaf becomes the [[Pokémon champion|champion]], then ventures to the [[Sevii Islands]] to eradicate Team Rocket and help [[Celio]] to connect his [[Pokémon Net Center]] to the [[Hoenn]] region. Eventually, Red ends up at [[Mt. Silver]], training day and night, and [[Lance]] ends up as champion. Blue, dejected, takes the empty gym in [[Viridian City]].
** {{ga|Brendan}}/{{ga|May}} leaves [[Littleroot Town]] on a Pokémon journey shortly after moving to the Hoenn region from [[Johto]] by saving the local [[Pokémon professor]] from an attacking [[wild Pokémon]]. At first, there is a deep-seated rivalry with [[Professor Birch]]'s son/daughter, however, later on, the rivalry is with [[Wally]] instead. After defeating Hoenn's eight [[Gym Leader]]s and, with the help of {{p|Rayquaza}}, calming both {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}}, released from their banishment by [[Team Magma]] and [[Team Aqua]], respectively, he/she challenges and defeats Hoenn's Elite Four and current champion, becoming the champion him/herself, much to the astonishment of Birch's child.

** {{ga|Gold}}/{{ga|Kris}} leaves [[New Bark Town]] on an errand for [[Professor Elm]], bonding with his/her [[starter Pokémon]] on the way. A {{ga|Silver|red-haired boy}} steals one of Elm's three Pokémon, and challenges him/her as Gold/Kris's journey across Johto continues. A revived Team Rocket, using plans formulated three years prior, enrages many {{p|Gyarados}}, including a [[Red Gyarados|red one]], at the [[Lake of Rage]] and as well takes over the [[Johto Radio Tower]] in a desperate attempt to contact [[Giovanni]]. As they are defeated, the leader vows to never again re-form Team Rocket, and Gold/Kris continues to gather Johto's badges, eventually gaining all eight and traveling to the [[Pokémon League]] at the [[Indigo Plateau]] in Kanto. After championing it, over a new Elite Four and its previous champion, Lance, Gold/Kris then heads to the Kanto region to challenge its eight gyms, which have changed from three years prior. After gaining all eight of their badges, for a total of sixteen, [[Professor Oak]] declares him/her ready to travel to Mt. Silver, deep in the caves of where he/she meets and defeats {{ga|Red}}.
** {{ga|Lucas}}/{{ga|Dawn}} and {{ga|Pearl}} leave [[Twinleaf Town]] in an attempt to see a Pokémon like the recently-reported red Gyarados in the nearest of [[Sinnoh]]'s lakes, [[Lake Verity]]. After being attacked by a wild {{p|Starly}} at the lake, and using one of [[Professor Rowan]]'s Pokémon to fend off the attacker, the journey begins in earnest, where both Lucas/Dawn and Pearl challenge the Sinnoh region's eight gyms to gain the badges necessary to challenge the {{si|Pokémon League}}. Along the way, however, Lucas/Dawn is brought into many conflicts with [[Team Galactic]], whose leader, [[Cyrus]], wishes to re-make the entire universe in his image with the powers of the [[legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}. Defeating the team and calming {{p|Dialga}}/{{p|Palkia}}, Lucas/Dawn challenges Sinnoh's Elite Four and champion, [[Cynthia]], and becomes champion him/herself.

{{incomplete}}
[[Image:PokemonWorldAnime.jpg|thumb|An orbital view of the Pokémon world with a meteor containing {{p|Deoxys}} heading towards it, as seen in the {{pkmn|anime}}.]]
The '''Pokémon world''' is the main planet for the [[Pokémon]] [[Canon|franchise]], set in the {{g|universe}}. It bears some striking similarities with the [[Pokémon world in relation to the real world|real world]], certainly deriving inspiration from it, but many factors set it apart as a different place from our own world.

==Culture==
Culturally, the many depictions of the world all reflect a popular fascination with Pokémon and their interactions with humans, including [[Captured Pokémon|catching]] them, {{pkmn|training}} them, [[Pokémon battle|battling]] them, [[Pokémon breeding|raising]] them, keeping them as pets, studying them, and utilizing their varied skills. Several [[Sinnoh myths|myths]] discuss the relationship between humans and Pokémon as a very close one, and one folk tale even says that there was a time when humans and Pokémon were considered one and the same.

The [[history of the Pokémon world]] is notably different from our own, and seems to be dictated primarily between the interactions between humans and Pokémon. There does not seem to be a major world religion, but some believe in the ancient myths based around [[Legendary Pokémon]], so it plausible that the population believes in ''Pokémon'' as their religion. Backing this up, most people are generally kind and respect Pokémon. Shinto shrines and crosses have both been seen, however. Also, Brock made reference to the story of Noah featured in the Old Testament of the Bible in ''[[EP016|Pokémon Shipwreck]]''.

==Pokémon==
Pokémon have been seen within this world as being both supplements and replacements for animals that exist within the real world. Regular animals have been seen only very rarely and then only in some of the oldest media. Most people respect Pokémon and treat them kindly, yet there exist people who take advantage of them and exploit their abilities. Recreations of natural ecosystems are done with Pokémon. It is presumed that some Pokémon eat others, and humans have made references to occasionally eating Pokémon as well. This is encountered mostly with fish Pokémon and cattle based Pokémon such as {{p|Miltank}}. While some Pokémon have abilities that are normal or only slightly distorted from reality, many more Pokémon have abilities that are completely original and have no counterparts within the real world.

==Geography and timeframe==
[[Image:RegionsMoviesMap.jpg|thumb|300px|A map of the known world in the {{pkmn|anime}}, as of [[The Rise of Darkrai|the tenth movie]]]]
Geographically, the world is split into a few large political [[region]]s, such as [[Kanto]] and [[Hoenn]]. The regions are generally thought to be part of a larger country because of the term [[National Dex]], but they are all perhaps part of a {{wp|world nation}}. The geography of the regions are strikingly [[Pokémon world in relation to the real world|similar]] to {{wp|Japan}}, but in a much larger scale, as seen in [[Pokémon Heroes|the fifth movie]] (the only time when the entire planet is clearly shown). There are only four offical regions, yet others such as [[Orre]] and [[Fiore]] have been introduced in other games.

Regardless, the {{pkmn|games}} have referenced real places on Earth, such as {{wp|South America}}, {{wp|Australia}}, {{wp|China}}, {{wp|Antarctic}}, the {{wp|United States}}, and the {{wp|Pacific Ocean}} and the anime and related products have referenced places such as {{wp|Hollywood, California}}, {{wp|Minnesota}}, {{wp|England}}, and {{wp|Paris, France}}.

However, if the Pokémon world is ''not'' Earth, it must be similar, having a similar {{wp|moon}}, similar climates, and so on. Many different theories exist as to exactly how the Pokémon world relates to our own.

==Physics and technology==
Scientific achievements such as {{wp|cloning}} and [[Poké Ball|energy conversion]] mingle with magical elements such as spontaneous [[evolution]] and [[Time flower|flowers]] that can replay a short time sequence, giving one the sense that the Pokémon world is very different from our own. The state of technology conceivably places the timeframe we see in either the present day, or perhaps in the future, but this is merely speculative.

Despite the amount of advanced technology available, comparatively few [[Transportation in Pokémon|modes of transportation]] are seen. This may be because the world is often shown through the eyes of a {{g|Trainer}}, who usually travel on foot for a variety of practical reasons such as cost and finding [[wild Pokémon]].

There are moments where the physics of the Pokémon world are stretched to [[anime physics|unrealistic degrees]], but this is usually for dramatic or comedic purposes.
==Trivia==
*The existence of foreign Pokédex entries might lead to the fact that there are other languages in the Pokémon world.

'''Oddish''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ナゾノクサ''' ''Nazonokusa'') is a dual-type {{2t|Grass|Poison}} Pokémon.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Oddish looks like a blue plant bulb with feet, eyes, and five small leaves sprouting from its head.
====Gender differences====
None.

====Special abilities====
They scatter poisonous spores as they walk.

===Behavior===
They stay underground during the day, only to come out at night.
===Habitat===
[[Image:Grassland.gif|left|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Grassland Pokémon|Grassland Pokémon]]]]
Oddish live in grassy plains, and can also be found in tropical areas such as jungles and swamps, where the ground is rich in nutrients. They are very common.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

Oddish most likely {{m2|Ingrain|absorb some nutrients}} from the ground when they are buried.

==In the anime==
Oddish are commonly found in the anime. Most of the time they play the victim and are usually being chased or attacked.

[[Image:Oddishanime.JPG|thumb|right|250px|An Oddish in the anime.]]

[[Misty]] attempts to catch an Oddish in ''[[EP010|Bulbasaur and the Hidden Village]]'', thinking that it is a {{type2|Water}} because she saw it drinking water from a pond. She is prevented from doing so by a {{AP|Bulbasaur}}. Misty later apologized to it for trying to catch it while in the Hidden Village.

[[James]]'s fiancée, [[Jessiebelle]], has had an Oddish when she was a little girl, before it evolved into a Gloom and soon after, into a Vileplume.

Oddish is one of Pokémon in the [[Pichu Brothers]]' Possé.

An Oddish owned by {{jo|Mariah}} wanted to fly with its {{p|Hoppip}} friends in ''[[EP137|Foul Weather Friends]]''.

An Oddish appeared in [[DP088]].

==In the manga==
Oddish was one of the Pokémon seen in [[Pokémon Special]] during the mass migration of Pokémon at the [[Seafoam Islands]]. Also one was caught by {{Ash}}.

==In the TCG==

==Trivia==
*In [[Generation II]], [[Bill]]'s grandfather asks the player to bring him a ''round, '''green''' Pokémon that has leaves growing on its head'', which is obviously Oddish. However, in those games, and in subsequent generations, Oddish's body (unless it is {{shiny2}}) is blue.
*Oddish's shiny sprite dramatically changed from Generation II to [[Generation III]]. Before the leaves were bright yellow but now they are a light green.
*Oddish is the only Pokémon so far to be revealed to have a scientific name.
===Origin===
Oddish is most likely based on a [[wp:mandrake (plant)|mandrake]].

====Name origin====
Oddish's name is a combination of the words ''odd'' and the vegetable known as ''[[wp:radish|radish]]'', although ''oddish'' is a word in itself, meaning somewhat odd. ''Nazonokusa'' may be taken to mean 謎の草, enigmatic grass.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Myrapla
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Mystherbe - ''Mystère'' means mystery, ''herbe'' means grass or weed. The whole word sounds very similar to just ''mystère''.
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 뚜벅쵸 ''Ttubakchyo''
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan)]]: 走路草 (Zou Lu Cao) - walking grass
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Hong Kong)]]: 行路草 (Xing Lu Cao) - walking grass (cantonese)

'''Lilycove City''' (Japanese: '''ミナモシティ''' ''Minamo City'') is one of the the sixteen cities of [[Hoenn]], the land in which the games [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire|Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire]], and [[Pokémon Emerald]] take place. Lilycove is located southeast of [[Fortree City|Fortree]], near the sea. The city's motto is "Where the land ends and the sea begins".

A major feature in Lilycove include the [[Rank#Main series|Master Rank]] [[Contest Hall]]. In Pokémon Emerald, all of the [[Pokémon Contest]]s take place in Lilycove. Prizewinning trainers and Pokémon flock to Lilycove from all over the country.

The [[Cove Lily Motel]] is a motel in Lilycove where the staff of [[Game Freak]] stays.

The [[Pokémon Trainer Fan Club]] is located in Lilycove. Fans there discuss popular [[Pokémon Trainer]]s and [[Gym Leader]]s.

North in Lilycove is the [[Lilycove Museum]], where fine art and paintings are on display.

Also in the north section of the town is [[Lilycove Department Store]], the largest store in Hoenn.

The [[S.S. Tidal]], which runs from Lilycove to [[Slateport City|Slateport]] or the [[Battle Tower (Hoenn)|Battle Tower]] and [[Battle Frontier]], is located in the Lilycove City Harbor.

There is a [[Move Deleter]] next to the Lilycove Department Store.

West of the town is [[Route 121]], leading to [[Mt. Pyre]] and the [[Hoenn Safari Zone|Safari Zone]]. East is [[Route 124]], the open sea, and either [[Team Aqua]] or [[Team Magma]]'s base.

In the [[Pokémon Special]] manga, the headquarters for [[Hoenn TV]] is located here, which is the station [[Gabby & Ty]] work for, and that [[Archie]] secretly controls.

A man in the northeast corner of Lilycove hands out a Berry daily.

==Demographics==
The population of Lilycove City is 71, making it by far the largest city in Hoenn, and the second biggest in the Pokémon world. This number is only 6 behind [[Johto]]'s [[Goldenrod City]], which is the biggest in the franchise.

==Name origin==
Lilycove is a combination of [[wp:lily|lily]], a type of water plant, and [[wp:cove|cove]], a type of coastal landmark which seems to appear in the far northeast corner of the city.

==Trivia==

**A remastered version of the background music of Lilycove City can be found on Pokémon Platinum.

==Hair==

Since all the other commanders of team galactic have their hair based on a Pokémon in their party what Pokémon is Plutos hair based off?
From:[[User:Ultamatecharizard]]
:Only [[Jupiter|one member]] is truly based on a Pokémon. The others are just speculation. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 22:13, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
== Old Chateau? ==
Do you know how the Old Chateau is a abandoned Mansion in the forest and where {{p|Rotom}} can be caught, does anyone think that when the Old Chateau was new and people lived in it if Pluto could of been living there? Because he befriended Rotom and how the Chateau's description says 'The mansion is falling into deep disrepair after being abandoned by its Owner' could be linked to Pluto? I was always thinking [[Mr. Backlot]] was linked to the Old Chateau but after reading Pluto's history I thought Pluto could of originally been in the Chateau. Possibly the mansion was abandoned after the Butler and the Girl died in some kind of accident(Possibly a fire?) --[[User:Zooky|Zooky]] 19:43, 19 September 2008

:makes sense ,but does that mean that the girl could be related to Pluto?

'''Darkrai''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ダークライ''' ''Darkrai'') is a {{type2|Dark}} [[Legendary Pokémon]]. It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Darkrai is a black, ghostly creature. It has a small black head with a white substance erupting from its head covering one of its bright blue eyes, and also has a red growth around its neck. It has skinny arms and long black tatters hang from its shoulders. It has an hourglass figure and appears to be wearing an old, ripped cloak. It normally doesn't have any sort of legs, but it is able to extend stilt-like appendages in their place.
[[Image:DarkraiMovie DarkVoid.JPG|thumb|left|200px|{{an|Darkrai}} preparing a Dark Void attack]]
====Gender differences====
Darkrai is genderless.

====Special abilities====
Darkrai can trap people in nightmares. It can become a shadow to move quickly, but it is still susceptible to damage in this state. It is also capable of human speech.

Darkrai is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that learns {{m|Dark Void}}.
 

===Behavior===
This Pokémon "inhabits" people's dreams and causes them to have unending nightmares. However, in the [[The Rise of Darkrai|10th movie]], Darkrai sacrificed itself to save the city, meaning that perhaps Darkrai has some good in it after all.

{{spoilers}}
[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2]], however, portrays a Darkrai with a much more evil character, who wants a world enshrouded in darkness, going to the edge of almost destroying time and space to accomplish that. However, after it is recruited, it shows surprising loyalty, even going as far as to say that he will never leave the player, no matter the danger.

===Habitat===
Whilst Darkrai isn't nesting in the dreams of humans, it lingers around a lost island called [[Newmoon Island]].

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

Possibly dreams, characterized by its association with never-ending nightmares and the ability to learn the move {{M|Dream Eater}}.

==In the anime==
{{an|Darkrai}} co-starred in ''[[The Rise of Darkrai]]'' as one of the protagonists, taking the task of ceasing the fighting between {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}} upon itself. In the movie, Darkrai feels that [[Alice]] is trustworthy, whose grandmother [[Alicia]] assisted Darkrai when it was injured. Darkrai even went so far as to save Alice after she fell off a crumbling cliff.

==In the manga==
*Darkrai likewise appeared in the manga adaptation of ''The Rise of Darkrai''.

==In the TCG==
{{main|Darkrai (TCG)}}

==Other appearances==
====[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]====
Darkrai was rumored to be featured as one of the Poké Ball Pokémon in the [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]] demo at Whobby 2008. However, it was later confirmed to not be in the final version, appearing as a [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl#Pokémon Trophies|trophy]] instead.

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
{{spoilers}}
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2]]: Darkrai is revealed to be the main antagonist of the game in the post-game story. He wants to cover the world in darkness, and was behind the collapse of the Temporal Tower in the main storyline of the game. His interference is also the reason the player was separated from {{p|Grovyle}} and turned into a Pokémon. In the post-game story, he turns his attention to distorting the fabric of space to cover the world in darkness.

==Trivia==
[[Image:Movie 10 NA Darkrai.JPG|thumb|190px|Darkrai appears on Pokemon.com]]
* Darkrai was officially revealed to Japan in the March 2007 edition of [[Coro Coro]] and to America on January 25th 2008, on [[Pokémon.com]].
* Darkrai is the first Dark-type legendary Pokémon. This is also the first event legendary Pokémon of Generation IV, which can only be received during a Pokémon event or a Nintendo event. However in the Japanese version of Diamond and Pearl, it can be caught through the [[Surf glitch]].
* Darkrai is the only pure {{t|Dark}}-type Pokémon from [[Generation IV]].
* Despite being classified as a pure Dark-type, Darkrai displays a lot of Ghost-like traits.
* While in the [[The Rise of Darkrai|tenth movie]] and [[Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia]] Darkrai is portrayed as a hero, in the games it's the only Pokémon truly portrayed as evil, in a sense (though the nightmare inducing effects could have just as easily been a self-defense mechanism, like how the Nightmares induced by [[Darkrai (anime)|Darkrai in the 10th movie]] was actually a self-defense mechanism.).
* [[Cheating|Cheaters]] can reach Darkrai by using the infamous walk anywhere cheat. If they start at [[Fullmoon Island]] and walk across the water to the right, they will reach [[Newmoon Island]]. Between these islands is the [[Mystery Zone]]. From the island, they can simply take a boat back to [[Canalave City]].
* The boy of the sailor who owns the boat that normally goes to [[Iron Island]] says ''"<sc>Dar... Dark...</sc> Is watching me..."'' He probably means Darkrai, as it is known to give its victims horrific nightmares.
** If Darkrai ''was'' the cause of the sailor's son's nightmares, it can be assumed Darkrai is aware that the player cured the boy using {{p|Cresselia}}'s [[Lunar Wing]]: When the player takes the [[Member's Card]] to the Canalave Inn, the innkeeper (presumably a shade of Darkrai) states that he has been waiting for the player's arrival. The player then falls asleep at the inn, only to 'awaken' at an abandoned Newmoon Island, where Darkrai must be caught or defeated in order for the player to awaken from their nightmare and 'return' to the inn.
* There were [[event]]s giving away Darkrai through [[Mystery Gift]] that were held at participating theaters in Japan when Movie 10 was first released and also in some Toys "R" Us Stores in the United States from May 31 to June 1, 2008. These special edition Darkrai were contained in a [[Poké Ball#Generation IV Poké Balls|Cherish Ball]], with the [[Original Trainer|OT]] of '''えいがかん''' ''Movie Theatre'' and an [[Trainer ID number|ID No.]] of '''07147''' for the Japanese version and with the OT of [[Alamos Town|ALAMOS]] and an ID No. of 05318 for the American version. They were also holding an {{b|Enigma}} and had the normally unobtainable moves, {{m|Roar of Time}} and {{m|Spacial Rend}}.
* Late 2008 in the UK, a Rise of Darkrai Event was held at participating Woolworths stores to promote the movie. The movie was played on the screens, and a Darkrai was given out. The original trainer is ALAMOS, it is level 50, and holds an Enigma Berry and is stored in a Cherish Ball. The moves are Roar of Time, Spacial Rend, Nightmare and Hypnosis.
* Darkrai can also be obtained from {{g|Ranger: Shadows of Almia}}. It has {{m|Dark Void}} at level 50.
* As of yet, Darkrai is one of five Pokémon who were available on video games before having a set location, the others being {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Farfetch'd}}, {{p|Latias}} and {{p|Latios}}.
* In {{g|Mystery Dungeon 2}}, it is rumored that Darkrai lost all of its memory when {{p|Palkia}} used a "Spatial Hyper Beam" in [[Dark Crater]], thus turning it into a better Pokémon and is referred to as being male, despite not actually having a gender in the games.
* Darkrai bears a resemblance to the monster that {{p|Celebi}} created from leaves and twigs in [[Pokémon 4Ever]].
* On, [http://www.pokemon.com/drkgift www.pokemon.com/drkgift] typing <nowiki>"orasion"</nowiki> into the text box provided, a The Rise of Darkrai wallpaper is obtainable.
* When Darkrai is captured in Pokémon Platinum, a voce will come up saying a reason that Darkrai causes nightmares to everyone and why it was put on New Moon Island with Cresselia close-by. A speculation (started by [[Serebii]]) says it could be the voice of [[Arceus]].

===Origin===
Darkrai's appearance suggests it is based on the concept of {{wp|nightmares}}. It also resembles a {{wp|shadow}}. It may possibly be based on the {{wp|Boogie Man}}.
====Name origin====
Darkrai's name is a combination of the word ''dark'' and the Japanese word for "dark" (暗い''kurai'').

Bulbapedia needs MUCH more info on this game. At the very least, articles on [[Poké Assist]] and [[Field moves]].

Sadly, not a lot of people in the bulbagarden community bought the game. Myself included. --[[User:Zeta|Zeta]] 03:38, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

== Elita as part of the original team? ==

I can't remember Elita being mentioned as part of the same ranger team as Spenser, Joel, and Cameron. When do they say this? I thought it was only the three guys together. --[[User:Johans|Johans]] 16:33, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

== Salamence ==
I got the game yesterday and I'm at the part where you have to fight salamence. I realy need help defeating it.
:If you're having trouble with Salamence, you're gonna REALLY hate Charizard. --[[User:DarkfireTaimatsu|DarkfireTaimatsu]] 03:34, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
Circle Salamence once, then, while it is in the air, circle it very quickly 22 times. Oh, and I HATE Charizard. It took me 28 times to finally get the freakin thing. Luckily, during my second Charizard battle I had a Poliwhirl (Thought it still took me 4 times). - [[User:Jonah|Jonah]] 03:40, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
::Salamence and Charizard are garbage! Try catching Steelix. It will kill you it you touch it, and Minun/Plusle's discharge is useless against it.
:::Tch, Charizard was much easier than the Salamence. I found that Flygon was the hardest. Too fast, plus the fact you can't use Minun/Plusle on it... <big>{{ani|486}}[[User:Tesh|'''TESH''']]{{ani|377}}[[User Talk:Tesh|'''TALK''']]{{ani|378}}[[User:Tesh/Other|'''FUN''']]{{ani|379}}</big> 15:37, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

Shouldn't it say "It was released in australia in 2006... Etc."? [[User:Nivomi|Nivomi]] 15:40, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

== A main series of it's own? ==

Look at this: now that there are two games in the Ranger line, Ranger might be a series of it's own, and not a spin-off as it is reffered to.

Spring Path

2008-09-19T06:10:35Z

Joshuamanimtim2:

The '''Spring Path''' (Japanese: '''かくれいずみへのみち''' ''Path to the Hidden Spring'') is a short path off the main area of {{rt|214}} that leads into [[Sendoff Spring]]. This path is available to players after they get the National Pokédex.

There are no [[wild Pokémon]] on this short route, as there is no long grass.

In Pokémon Platinum, the eerie music track has been replaced by the music from Route 214.

'''Emerald''' (Japanese: '''エメラルド''') is the eleventh main character of the manga series [[Pokémon Special]]. His origin is unknown, although {{p|Latios}} and {{p|Latias}} are very close to him, calling him "Rald".

He recently appeared in the [[Battle Frontier]], having been brought there by {{p|Latios}} and {{p|Latias}}. There he met [[Todd Snap|Todd]]. After he bound and gagged [[Dome Ace Tucker|Tucker]] and stole his {{p|Salamence}}, Emerald was about to be banned from the Frontier; until it was revealed that Emerald was becoming a media darling. Upon the risk of losing major publicity, the [[Frontier Brains]] and [[Scott]] eventually agreed to his challenge: he would defeat all of the 7 Brains within 7 days.

Emerald seems to have an issue with his own height, as he wears his hair tall, clothing with extra long sleeves, and platform shoes. Much of his clothing appears to be intended to make him look taller than he really is. Even despite this, Emerald is much shorter than he already appears, as revealed by [[Arena Tycoon Greta|Greta]] and Todd while he is sleeping.

Emerald doesn't like [[Pokémon]] themselves, but he likes [[Pokémon battle]]s. To the amazement of Todd, he is an expert at battling. As he does not train his own Pokémon, he borrows the Pokémon he uses from {{Special|Crystal}}.

Later on, Emerald's reason for visiting the Frontier is revealed: he was assigned by [[Professor Oak]] and Crystal to capture {{p|Jirachi}}. He attempted first time after his fight with [[Pyramid King Brandon|Brandon]] at the [[Battle Frontier#Battle Pyramid|Battle Pyramid]] and was almost successful. However, after that, he went back to his original challenge.

Despite his protests, his Pokémon love him greatly and tend to get jealous of each other; recently, his {{p|Sudowoodo}} (revealed to be [[gender|female]] because of its motherly nature) and {{p|Sceptile}} got into an argument over Emerald's food and began cooking with [[Berry|berries]] in a frenzy before being broken up by Emerald's {{p|Dusclops}}. His Sceptile's interest in Emerald's [[Pokédex]] indicated that it evolved from [[Wally]]'s {{p|Grovyle}}. This was later confirmed.

Emerald carries several gadgets with him, primarily his extendable mechanical hands. He also has a pistol that shoots soil from various places around the world. By shooting a Pokémon with a "seal" of soil from its birthplace, the Pokémon is calmed by a sense of nostalgia.

Emerald has the ability to determine the birthplace of any Pokémon by sight. He uses this ability along with his gun to calm rampaging Pokémon that have been illegally added to the Battle Frontier, and has taken three of these cured Pokémon as his own.

*Emerald and Yellow are the only main characters of Pokémon Special not directly [[cross-canon counterparts|based on]] game characters, coincidentally named for third versions of odd-numbered generations.
*Emerald resembles the player's rival on Pokémon Diamond,Pearl and Platinum.

[[Image:Torn World.png|thumb|right|250px|Mt. Coronet's peak, with the entrance to the [[Torn World]] above it, from the northwest.]]
The '''Sinnoh region''' (Japanese: '''シンオウ地方''' ''Shin'ō-chihō'') is a region in the Pokémon world, the setting of the [[Generation IV]] games {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}. It is [[Pokémon world in relation to the real world|based on]] the geography of the Japanese island of {{wp|Hokkaido}}, and according to the {{pkmn|anime}}, the Sinnoh region is located north of the [[Kanto]] region.

==Geography==
Sinnoh features a broad range of new and classic environments for the player to explore including, for the first time in a Pokémon RPG, snowy routes. The region also features full-land geography, with only five [[sea route]]s. Despite this lack of sea routes, a direct opposite of the [[Hoenn]] region, the Sinnoh region is known to be rich in water, and has three lakes at the northernmost ([[Lake Acuity|Acuity]]), easternmost ([[Lake Valor|Valor]]), and westernmost ([[Lake Verity|Verity]]) ends of the main continent that are home to the members of [[lake trio|one of the legendary trios of Sinnoh]]. Near Lake Valor, as well, there is a hidden fourth lake, [[Sendoff Spring]], which houses [[Turnback Cave]], the home of a fourth [[legendary Pokémon]], {{p|Giratina}}.

Due to its large size, the main continent of Sinnoh can be broken into two sub-regions divided by [[Mt. Coronet]], roughly comparable to how the continent that [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]] make up is essentially a contiguous region. Due to this, {{p|Shellos}} and {{p|Gastrodon}} have developed an instance of regional speciation, with members of the species found on the eastern side being blue-colored and members on the western side being pink-colored.

The western half of Sinnoh features a variety of landscapes. Its coasts are notably more rocky than the eastern half, however, the land is far more fertile, and the towns, for the most part, are rural. A windswept canyon, carved out by a river that flows from Mt. Coronet, is home to the [[Valley Windworks]], which provides clean, wind-driven electricity to the nearby towns. This is not to say, however, that there is no importance to west Sinnoh, as [[Oreburgh City]], [[Eterna City]], and [[Canalave City]] are the locations of {{g|Gym}}s, and [[Jubilife City]], at the heart of the area, is the most technologically advanced city in the region.

Sinnoh's eastern half is home, however, to a vast many more things, including {{g|Super Contest}}s in [[Hearthome City]], a [[Veilstone Department Store|Department Store]] in [[Veilstone City]], the [[Great Marsh]] of [[Pastoria City]], and the awe-inspiring [[Vista Lighthouse]] of [[Sunyshore City]]. In each of these cities, as well, there is a Pokémon Gym, which is very important for League-bound trainers.

Unlike the halves of Sinnoh divided longitudinally by Mt. Coronet, the northern area is sparsely populated, with [[Snowpoint City]] as the only major area, likely due to the harsh snows that blow down from the mountain's peak, making the area not only very cold, but as well making a trip northward very perilous. Despite this relative isolation, however, Snowpoint as well has a Pokémon Gym, making it another important stop for trainers who wish to compete in the Pokémon League.

A third sub-region is the [[Battle Zone]], which is on a large island to the northeast of the mainland. Much like people from the [[Sevii Islands]] seem to consider their home to be a separate region from [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]], people from the Battle Zone often refer to Sinnoh as a separate region. Several islands, including [[Newmoon Island]], [[Fullmoon Island]], and [[Iron Island]], lie off the northwestern coast of Sinnoh as well, though these are far eclipsed in both size and importance by the mainland.

Separated from both the Battle Zone and the mainland of Sinnoh by several straits is the island on which {{si|Pokémon League}} of Sinnoh is located, the only access to which is by way of {{rt|223}}. It is here where Sinnoh's {{si|Victory Road}} is located, which, unlike previous incarnations has not two, but three entrances: One of these, of course, is the southern entrance that trainers from the mainland must navigate from, a second is the one that leads to the area in which the [[Elite Four]] can be challenged, and the third leads from a {{m2|Defog|foggy}} area of Victory Road to {{rt|224}}, which is said to be a miniature version of Sinnoh. North from Route 224, through a special event, of course, leads the [[Seabreak Path]] to {{p|Shaymin}}'s domain, the [[Flower Paradise]].

Beyond [[Lake Verity]] is the additional landmass of [[Almia]] that is considered a [[Shadows of Almia|seperate region from Sinnoh.]]

===Routes===
Much like [[Hoenn]] before it, Sinnoh's routes are numbered so that they don't follow sequence directly from previously-known regions' routes. Routes in Sinnoh are numbered from {{rtn|201}} to {{rtn|230}}. Compared to previous generations, there aren't many sea routes; there are many land routes and mountains. The idea of routes with differing [[weather conditions]] was also brought ahead from [[Generation III]]. For the first time ever in a Pokémon game, some of Sinnoh's routes have snow covering them.

Another quirk about the routes in Sinnoh is that some of them do not go directly east/west or north/south, but actually turn before reaching their destination, most notably {{rt|212}}, which has two limbs of equal length. While Hoenn's {{rt|114}} did this on the [[Game Boy Advance]], it was not to this scale, so one may presume that the GBA was limited in this sense.

==Trivia==
*Sinnoh's [[Gym Leader]]s each use a type that has previously been seen in another region's Gym. Four of them were first seen in [[Kanto]], in fact, they are the same types as the first four Gyms of Kanto, {{t|Rock}}, {{t|Water}}, {{t|Electric}}, and {{t|Grass}}. Similarly, the other four were first seen in [[Johto]], and are the same as the fourth through seventh Gyms of that region, {{t|Ghost}}, {{t|Fighting}}, {{t|Steel}}, and {{t|Ice}}.

*If one were to draw lines to connect the three lakes of Sinnoh, they form a big triangle. [[Mt. Coronet]] lies in the middle of the triangle. This is the same formation that {{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Mesprit}} and {{p|Azelf}} make on the top of [[Spear Pillar]] with {{p|Dialga}} or {{p|Palkia}} in the middle. This formation is also repeated in many places having to do with [[Sinnoh myths]].

Talk:History of the Pokémon world

2008-09-15T11:31:19Z

Joshuamanimtim2: /* Can anyone state where it was said that the S.S. Tidal was created in the 1990s? */

=Shaping this article=
I think this article needs to be redesigned... "history" is a bit of a general term - there are differences between the histories in different parts on the cannon (games, anime and different manga series have contradicted each other several times in the past). We need to make rules to decide what goes in and what doesn't...--[[User:ElectAbuzzzz|ElectAbuzzzz]] 12:37, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

It may not even be possible to write such an article since there is not much historical information, not to mention a good part of it is legend. (Then again, in this world it seems legends are generally true.) - [[User:Zhen Lin|振霖]][[User talk:Zhen Lin|T]] 15:17, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
:I think it's more accurate to say that the Pokemon that ''appear'' in legend are true. There's no solid evidence to say that the Sinnoh Myths aren't simply that: Myth. I feel that until Nintendo officially confirms that Arceus did in fact create the Universe, or any other legend, such as Regigigas moving the continents, we should treat them purely as myth and/or theory, and not include them with articles dealing with fact, such as this Timeline.--[[User:Dual|Dual]] 03:11, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

The timeline must have another sub article--[[User:Joshuamanimtim2|Snorlax]] 10:30, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

Should the spinoff games (Colosseum, XD, Ranger, Snap...) fit in anywhere? There's not a lot of evidence linking those to the handheld games... is there any way to put them in? --[[User:Kayube|Kayube]] 04:09, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
:I doubt it. There is no indication that any events in the non-handheld games are canon to the basic storyline, so there's no real point to including it here. On another note, it's my personal opinion that this needs to be moved to a different article, because there isn't much of the history that has been confirmed; most of it, as has been mentioned, is legend and theory. Regardless, I'm going to try to clean this up a bit and Wikify it some. [[User:Vekter|Vekter]] 15:40, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
::Well, the Pokemon Ranger games seem to actually reference events from the games (and also is the reason why {{p|Manaphy}} even exists in the main games.) If we aren't going to count the Ranger games are canon to the basic storyline, then we shouldn't count Manaphy as canon, either, since that's the only EVENT pokemon in the main series that debuted in a side game/spinoff game rather than in the main game series. Besides, since we can't transfer any prior gen pokemon onto the R/S/E/FR/LG game packs, Pokemon Colosseum is currently the only legit way to even ACQUIRE Celebi (though this is only in the Japanese version), and it (as well as it's sequel, Gale of darkness) is also the only OTHER legit way to acquire Ho-Oh and Lugia if you didn't get the Mystic tickets in the Emerald/FR/LG versions. now, for games like Mystery dungeon, yes, those SHOULDN'T be counted as canon in there, since that's an Alt universe.

Hall of Origin

2008-09-15T11:23:52Z

Joshuamanimtim2: /* Pokémon */

[[Image:Hall Arceus.png|thumb|right|Arceus in the Hall of Origin.]]
The '''Hall of Origin''' (Japanese: '''はじまりのま''' ''{{wp|Ma (negative space)|Hall}} of Origin'') is where the [[legendary Pokémon]], the mighty {{p|Arceus}} resides.

The Hall of Origin can only be accessed by a player who has the [[Azure Flute]], which can either be acquired through [[Mystery Gift]], likely at a future [[Nintendo event]], or by the use of a cheating device, such as the [[Action Replay]]. When the player goes to the [[Spear Pillar]] on top of [[Mt. Coronet]], the game will ask if they want to play the Azure Flute. If they choose to, a set of stairs will appear, leading them to the mighty {{p|Arceus}}. At level 80, it is the highest-leveled wild, non-glitch Pokémon in all of the games.

As the Hall of Origin is on top of Spear Pillar and not a separate area like the [[Flower Paradise]] and [[Newmoon Island]], Arceus cannot be obtained by the [[Surf glitch]]. Even if one manages to reach it (without using the official Nintendo event or a cheat device), it is impossible to get out of the area. There will be no stairs, and {{m|Teleport}}, {{m|Fly}} etc. will not be usable, although the infamous walk anywhere glitch can escape.

Like Spear Pillar, it is technically outside a mountain (on top of it), so the [[Escape Rope]] cannot be used to escape.

==Trivia==

'''Veilstone City''' (Japanese: '''トバリシティ''' ''Tobari City'') is a city in the [[region]] of [[Sinnoh]]. It houses the headquarters for [[Team Galactic]] and is the hometown of [[Paul]]. This city is also home to the Sinnoh region's department store, [[Veilstone Department Store]], much like [[Celadon City]] in [[Kanto]], [[Goldenrod City]] in [[Johto]], and [[Lilycove City]] in [[Hoenn]].

Veilstone is carved out of steep and rocky mountains, giving the city rock walls that project a cold atmosphere. It is fairly isolated and has little contact with other cities. [[Team Galactic]] also constructs the [[Galactic Warehouse]] and their headquarters, the [[Team Galactic HQ|Galactic Veilstone Building]] there. The [[Veilstone Game Corner]] also has slot machines that people can play to try to win coins to buy [[TMs]]. Veilstone is famous for its stone, including its meteorites, which can change {{p|Deoxys}} between its many forms.

In {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, as [[the player]] leaves the [[Veilstone Gym|Gym]], {{ga|Dawn}}/[[Lucas]] will be waiting outside and will tell the player that [[Team Galactic]] stole her/his [[Pokédex]]. The player has to team up with her/him to defeat two [[Team Galactic]] grunts.

In {{game|Platinum}}, in one of the northern-most houses, a person will give the player a {{p|Porygon}}.

The population of Veilstone City is 54 people, putting it only one person behind [[Hearthome City]].

==Trivia==
* Veilstone's Japanese town motto is {{tt|いしにかこまれたくうかん|Space surrounded by rock}}.
* On the way to Veilstone Gym, the player will run into Professor Rowan's assistant. If the player is playing as Lucas, Dawn will respond that she has been shopping at the department store. Conversely, if the player is playing as Dawn, Lucas will respond that he has been playing at the Game Corner.
* In the Japanese version of Pokémon Platinum, there is a guy who speaks to the player in English.

===Name origin===
Veilstone seems to come from [[wp:veil|veil]], indicating its isolated status, and stone. Its Japanese name is derived from 帳 ''tobari'', "curtain."

2008-09-14T04:59:05Z

Joshuamanimtim2: /* Games */

{{incomplete}}
{{cleanup}}
'''The history of the [[Pokémon world]]''' are been know until this day because these histories were been passed down into/on legends that has been passed down to generation to generation. Nobody knows if it is real or not, but there are some symbols that proofs that these legends are real.

Below here is a timeline of events in the history of the Pokémon world, primarily those established in the [[canon]] of the [[Pokémon games]], since these apply most to other forms of canon. There is also a separate [[Timeline of events in the anime|timeline of events]] for the [[Pokémon anime]].

==Timeline==

This information is based primarily on [[Sinnoh myths|the mythology]] of both the [[Sinnoh]] and [[Hoenn]] regions.

* Beginning of universe

** Arceus creates the [[dragon trio]] and the [[lake trio]].
** {{p|Giratina}} disappears into an alternate dimension.
** {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}} create matter, space, and time.

Both Pokémon were fallen into deep sleep: Kyogre was sealed into the Deep-Sea Seafloor cavern, and Groudon was sealed on the Mystic caves of [[Mt. Chimney]]. Red and Blue Orbs were created and guarded in the high peaks of [[Mt. Pyre]] to prevent the awakening of Kyogre and Groudon which will start into a battle.

** {{ga|Red}}/{{ga|Leaf}} leaves [[Pallet Town]] on his/her Pokémon journey after their rival, [[Professor Oak]]'s grandson, {{ga|Blue}}. After getting the eight [[badge]]s of [[Kanto]], defeating [[Team Rocket]] along the way, he/she challenges Kanto's [[Elite Four]], then its current champion, none other than Blue himself. After defeating Blue, Red/Leaf becomes the [[Pokémon champion|champion]], then ventures to the [[Sevii Islands]] to eradicate Team Rocket and help [[Celio]] to connect his [[Pokémon Net Center]] to the [[Hoenn]] region. Eventually, Red ends up at [[Mt. Silver]], training day and night, and [[Lance]] ends up as champion. Blue, dejected, takes the empty gym in [[Viridian City]].
** {{ga|Brendan}}/{{ga|May}} leaves [[Littleroot Town]] on a Pokémon journey shortly after moving to the Hoenn region from [[Johto]] by saving the local [[Pokémon professor]] from an attacking [[wild Pokémon]]. At first, there is a deep-seated rivalry with [[Professor Birch]]'s son/daughter, however, later on, the rivalry is with [[Wally]] instead. After defeating Hoenn's eight [[Gym Leader]]s and, with the help of {{p|Rayquaza}}, calming both {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}}, released from their banishment by [[Team Magma]] and [[Team Aqua]], respectively, he/she challenges and defeats Hoenn's Elite Four and current champion, becoming the champion him/herself, much to the astonishment of Birch's child.

** {{ga|Gold}}/{{ga|Kris}} leaves [[New Bark Town]] on an errand for [[Professor Elm]], bonding with his/her [[starter Pokémon]] on the way. A {{ga|Silver|red-haired boy}} steals one of Elm's three Pokémon, and challenges him/her as Gold/Kris's journey across Johto continues. A revived Team Rocket, using plans formulated three years prior, enrages many {{p|Gyarados}}, including a [[Red Gyarados|red one]], at the [[Lake of Rage]] and as well takes over the [[Johto Radio Tower]] in a desperate attempt to contact [[Giovanni]]. As they are defeated, the leader vows to never again re-form Team Rocket, and Gold/Kris continues to gather Johto's badges, eventually gaining all eight and traveling to the [[Pokémon League]] at the [[Indigo Plateau]] in Kanto. After championing it, over a new Elite Four and its previous champion, Lance, Gold/Kris then heads to the Kanto region to challenge its eight gyms, which have changed from three years prior. After gaining all eight of their badges, for a total of sixteen, [[Professor Oak]] declares him/her ready to travel to Mt. Silver, deep in the caves of where he/she meets and defeats {{ga|Red}}.
** {{ga|Lucas}}/{{ga|Dawn}} and {{ga|Pearl}} leave [[Twinleaf Town]] in an attempt to see a Pokémon like the recently-reported red Gyarados in the nearest of [[Sinnoh]]'s lakes, [[Lake Verity]]. After being attacked by a wild {{p|Starly}} at the lake, and using one of [[Professor Rowan]]'s Pokémon to fend off the attacker, the journey begins in earnest, where both Lucas/Dawn and Pearl challenge the Sinnoh region's eight gyms to gain the badges necessary to challenge the {{si|Pokémon League}}. Along the way, however, Lucas/Dawn is brought into many conflicts with [[Team Galactic]], whose leader, [[Cyrus]], wishes to re-make the entire universe in his image with the powers of the [[legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}. Defeating the team and calming {{p|Dialga}}/{{p|Palkia}}, Lucas/Dawn challenges Sinnoh's Elite Four and champion, [[Cynthia]], and becomes champion him/herself. 
**Meteor strikes Earth, forming 2 {{p|Deoxys}}.

Joshuamanimtim2: /* Where did the bird trio go? Sinnoh. */

=Shaping this article=
I think this article needs to be redesigned... "history" is a bit of a general term - there are differences between the histories in different parts on the cannon (games, anime and different manga series have contradicted each other several times in the past). We need to make rules to decide what goes in and what doesn't...--[[User:ElectAbuzzzz|ElectAbuzzzz]] 12:37, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

It may not even be possible to write such an article since there is not much historical information, not to mention a good part of it is legend. (Then again, in this world it seems legends are generally true.) - [[User:Zhen Lin|振霖]][[User talk:Zhen Lin|T]] 15:17, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
:I think it's more accurate to say that the Pokemon that ''appear'' in legend are true. There's no solid evidence to say that the Sinnoh Myths aren't simply that: Myth. I feel that until Nintendo officially confirms that Arceus did in fact create the Universe, or any other legend, such as Regigigas moving the continents, we should treat them purely as myth and/or theory, and not include them with articles dealing with fact, such as this Timeline.--[[User:Dual|Dual]] 03:11, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

The timeline must have another sub article--[[User:Joshuamanimtim2|Snorlax]] 10:30, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

Should the spinoff games (Colosseum, XD, Ranger, Snap...) fit in anywhere? There's not a lot of evidence linking those to the handheld games... is there any way to put them in? --[[User:Kayube|Kayube]] 04:09, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
:I doubt it. There is no indication that any events in the non-handheld games are canon to the basic storyline, so there's no real point to including it here. On another note, it's my personal opinion that this needs to be moved to a different article, because there isn't much of the history that has been confirmed; most of it, as has been mentioned, is legend and theory. Regardless, I'm going to try to clean this up a bit and Wikify it some. [[User:Vekter|Vekter]] 15:40, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

=Shaping this article=
I think this article needs to be redesigned... "history" is a bit of a general term - there are differences between the histories in different parts on the cannon (games, anime and different manga series have contradicted each other several times in the past). We need to make rules to decide what goes in and what doesn't...--[[User:ElectAbuzzzz|ElectAbuzzzz]] 12:37, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

It may not even be possible to write such an article since there is not much historical information, not to mention a good part of it is legend. (Then again, in this world it seems legends are generally true.) - [[User:Zhen Lin|振霖]][[User talk:Zhen Lin|T]] 15:17, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
:I think it's more accurate to say that the Pokemon that ''appear'' in legend are true. There's no solid evidence to say that the Sinnoh Myths aren't simply that: Myth. I feel that until Nintendo officially confirms that Arceus did in fact create the Universe, or any other legend, such as Regigigas moving the continents, we should treat them purely as myth and/or theory, and not include them with articles dealing with fact, such as this Timeline.--[[User:Dual|Dual]] 03:11, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

The timeline must have another sub article--[[User:Joshuamanimtim2|Snorlax]] 10:30, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

Should the spinoff games (Colosseum, XD, Ranger, Snap...) fit in anywhere? There's not a lot of evidence linking those to the handheld games... is there any way to put them in? --[[User:Kayube|Kayube]] 04:09, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
:I doubt it. There is no indication that any events in the non-handheld games are canon to the basic storyline, so there's no real point to including it here. On another note, it's my personal opinion that this needs to be moved to a different article, because there isn't much of the history that has been confirmed; most of it, as has been mentioned, is legend and theory. Regardless, I'm going to try to clean this up a bit and Wikify it some. [[User:Vekter|Vekter]] 15:40, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
::Well, the Pokemon Ranger games seem to actually reference events from the games (and also is the reason why {{p|Manaphy}} even exists in the main games.) If we aren't going to count the Ranger games are canon to the basic storyline, then we shouldn't count Manaphy as canon, either, since that's the only EVENT pokemon in the main series that debuted in a side game/spinoff game rather than in the main game series. Besides, since we can't transfer any prior gen pokemon onto the R/S/E/FR/LG game packs, Pokemon Colosseum is currently the only legit way to even ACQUIRE Celebi (though this is only in the Japanese version), and it (as well as it's sequel, Gale of darkness) is also the only OTHER legit way to acquire Ho-Oh and Lugia if you didn't get the Mystic tickets in the Emerald/FR/LG versions. now, for games like Mystery dungeon, yes, those SHOULDN'T be counted as canon in there, since that's an Alt universe.

== Can anyone state where it was said that the S.S. Tidal was created in the 1990s? ==

I need to know because the article said it was created in that time period, and yet I don't really recall the games even stating that it was created in the 1990s (In fact, I don't even recall it even mentioning the date of when it was created at all).
:Don't forget to sign your comment with four tildes <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>. On to the subject i agree there is no mention of when it was built nor is there mention of its age and assume its age from the release date. So Any suggestions on what to do with it? [[User:Pterodactal|Pterodactal]] 07:00, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

== Generation III ==

It should be sometime BEFORE Generation II and AFTER Generation I because Generation II states that STEEL is a NEWLY discovered type, and Generation III has steel types...[[Image:Ani475MS.gif]] <sc>'''[[User:Optimus35|Agent]] [[User talk:Optimus35|#448]]'''</sc> <sc>[http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?limit=50&title=Special%3AContributions&contribs=user&target=Optimus35&namespace=0&year=&month=-1 ☆] | [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qZPMmUEHFIU ♥]</sc>[[Image:Ani282MS.gif]][[Image:SpriteOptimus35.PNG|This will put you off eating for life!]] 12:30, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
:Here's how the Generations go in chronological order (This isn't merely fanon, it is supported by evidence from the various canons.)

Generation I→Generation III→→→Generation II→Generation IV

→=short time in betweeen →→→=long time in between

:: This really puzzles me - I'm not saying you're wrong, I'm just confused by this: how exactly are Generations in that order? I don't even understand how Generations I and II could have their timelines connected with III and IV... Ie: what is the canonical proof for this? (not because I'd doubt it - rather I'd love to know it, please) [[User:Sipulichu|Sipulichu]] 20:51, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

:I don't think that Steel is newly DISCOVERED type. It's just newly classified type out of those we actually had (the Steel Pokémon could be identified as Rock Pokémon before). The text in game may be mistranslated, since American Pokémon media loves to give us a shit about "new" Pokémon. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 13:26, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

== Moon Stone ==

What about "The Moon Stone"?
Of [[EP006|Clefairy and the Moon Stone]]:

"Seymour theorizes this is because both '''the Pokémon came from outer space''', and '''the Moon Stone was their spacecraft''' - which means the Stone belongs to the Pokémon, and the humans must leave it alone."

[[User:Mateussf|Mateussf]] 21:28, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

That was only in the animé. As far as I know, the whole "Pokémon came from outer-space" thing was never mentioned in any game.--[[User:Pokencyclopedia|Pokencyclopedia]] 23:59, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Except for MAYBE Deoxys and the Clefairy family

How about Jirachi? Comet=Outer Space --'''[[User:Theryguy512|Theryguy]][[User talk:Theryguy512|5]][[User:Theryguy512/Contribution Page|1]][[User:Theryguy512/Similarities|2]]''' 18:52, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

thanks for pointing him out, Theryguy512.
~~Weedle McHairybug~~

IIRC there is an NPC in the Space Center that mentions the theory in Generation III. I believe I've also seen this mentioned in other games, though I may be mistaken. [[User:Vekter|Vekter]] 15:43, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

:Lunatone and Solrock appearantly came from outer space as well. ~[[User:SaturnYoshi|'''$aturn''']][[User:SaturnYoshi|'''¥oshi''']] [[User talk:SaturnYoshi|THE VOICES]] 14:40, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

== Where did the bird trio go? Sinnoh. ==

Look at this, the legendary bird trio ( Articuno, Zapdos, Moltres ) is revealed to roam Sinnoh in Pokémon Platnum. These three, are missing in the GSC games (they can't be found in Kanto). So, they might have flown to Sinnoh. [[User:Joshuamanimtim2|K.J.Boring]] 04:55, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

Faraway Island

2008-08-30T03:45:46Z

Joshuamanimtim2:

'''Faraway Island''' (Japanese: '''さいはてのことう''' ''Furthest-away Island'') is an island located far away from [[Hoenn]]. Its location appears on an [[Old Sea Map]], and [[Mr. Briney|Captain Briney]] returns a favor by the ship in [[Lilycove City]] to sail to this far-off isle.

On the island is a sign with old, fading writing dated 6 October. It seems to be a reference to [[Mr. Fuji]] and the creation of {{p|Mewtwo}}. It also ends in a signature of which only remains "ji" (for some reason, this was not translated). If this is true, this means that Fuji, for whatever reason, returned to Faraway Island two months after the Mewtwo project.
; Japanese
: …がつ 6かここにたちいるにんげ… がふたたび　…らわれるとすればこころやさし…であらんことを…こにそのねがいをしるしこの …をあとにする …ジ
: …''gatsu muika Koko ni tachiiru ninge… ga futatabi …rawareru to sureba kokoro yasashi…de aran koto o…ko ni sono negai o shirushi kono … o ato ni suru …ji''
; English
: …ber, 6th day If any human…sets foot here… again…et it be a kindhearted pers… …ith that hope, I depar…

; Possible sentence
: (x)ber, 6th day. If any human sets foot here again,let it be a kindhearted person. With that hope,I depart.

A single {{p|Mew}} is found on this island. When it is engaged in battle, the music is a remix of Kanto's wild Pokémon music.

'''Arceus''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''アルセウス''' ''Arseus'') is the last [[Legendary Pokémon]] of [[Generation IV]] and the final Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by National Dex number|National Pokédex]] as of that generation.

Arceus is known as "The Original One," as it is said that it created the {{g|universe}} and the [[lake trio]]. The only known way to get Arceus is with the [[Azure Flute]] (also known as The Key of Space and Time). As of 2008, Arceus is currently the only Pokémon known to fans that has not yet been officially revealed by Nintendo.

Arceus, through use of {{a2|Multitype|its ability}}, can assume any [[type]], though naturally, without any [[plate]] attached, it is a {{type2|Normal}} Pokémon.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Arceus is an equine being that may be based on a horse-like mammal or {{wp|qilin}}. It might have some traces of a Centaur. Its body is white, has a gray underside and its four pointed feet are tipped with gold hooves. Its mane is quite long and its face is gray with green eyes. It also has a cross-like wheel attached to its body, which changes color along with its eyes based on Arceus's current type.

====Gender differences====
Arceus is genderless.

====Special abilities====
According to legend, Arceus created the universe, {{p|Palkia}}, {{p|Dialga}}, and the [[lake trio]].

While Arceus may be a pure {{type2|Normal}}, due to Arceus's {{a|Multitype}} [[ability]] its type can change into any of the other 16 types depending on what type of special [[plate]] it holds.

Arceus's [[signature move]], {{m|Judgment}}, also changes its type depending on the type of special plate Arceus is holding. Arceus also has the ability to use several attacks of various types, but to a lesser extent than {{p|Mew}}.

===Behavior===
===Habitat===
Arceus lives at the [[Hall of Origin]] which can only be accessed by use of the [[Azure Flute]] at the Spear Pillar.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
==In the manga==

==Trivia==
[[Image:Spr 4d 493-Unknown.png|thumb|left|Normal-color sprite for {{type2|???}} Arceus]][[Image:Spr 4d 493-Unknown s.png|thumb|right|[[Alternate coloration|Alternate-color]] sprite for {{type2|???}} Arceus]]
* At level 80, Arceus is the highest level non-glitch Pokémon available for capture.
* In its basic form, Arceus has the highest [[base stat]] in {{stat|Defense}} of all {{type2|Normal}} Pokémon.
* Arceus has the highest base stat total at 720, while previous Pokémon have had a maximum of 680. However, it does have lower stats in some areas than some other Pokémon, i.e. having lower {{stat|Speed}} than a {{p|Crobat}}, and there are several Pokémon that grow at slower rates, such as {{p|Shroomish}}, {{p|Makuhita}}, {{p|Illumise}}, {{p|Gulpin}}, {{p|Wailmer}}, {{p|Seviper}}, {{p|Corphish}}, and {{p|Drifloon}}.
* The code for Diamond and Pearl has sprites for Arceus using its Multitype ability with all 18 types, including {{type2|???}}. It is disputed whether the ???-type Arceus is obtainable, as there is no [[plate]] in the code that can be used for this. It is possible this sprite was programmed in to prevent game crashes caused by tampering with Arceus's type.
* Though Arceus has not been officially revealed, it is possible to use its signature move, {{m|Judgment}}, through {{m|Metronome}}.
* Arceus's signature move, {{m|Judgment}}, is the only move that Arceus is guaranteed [[Same-type attack bonus|STAB]] for, as it is always the same type as Arceus itself. However, on the battle screen, {{m|Judgment}} is always displayed as {{type2|Normal}}.
* Even though it is said that Arceus created the world with its thousand arms, it cannot learn any attacks that use arms or punches. It is also unable to learn every TM and HM, unlike Mew.
* Arceus' backstory seems to be a retcon of Mew's - while Mew was earlier purported to be the originator of all Pokémon due to containing the genetic code of every other Pokémon, as well as being able to learn every TM and HM, Arceus' story reveals that Mew was not the first Pokémon, as once thought.
**On the other hand, Mew's D/P Pokédex entry still stated that it's believed to be the originator of all Pokémon, due to possibly containing the genetic code of every other Pokémon and learning every TM/HM, which may also lead credence that Mew's status isn't retconned at all.
*When Arceus was first discovered within Diamond and Pearl, it sparked fears among some fans that those games would signal the end of Pokémon. These fears were due to legendaries becoming more and more powerful within recent games; for example, {{p|Mewtwo}} compared to Pokémon symbolizing elements of nature such as {{p|Dialga}}. Since the literal "god" of Pokémon was created, many wondered how another legendary could exist. These fears have been mostly alleviated by the continuation of Nintendo to heavily market the Pokémon series. Also, Arceus being the last may not be true- Mew, once thought to be the origin of all Pokemon, was followed by more.

===Origin===
Arceus may be a reference to the Chinese mythical creature, the {{wp|Qilin}}. Its myth is nearly identical to that of the {{wp|Pangu}}, the Chinese creation deity.

Arceus also seems to be an exact mirror of the infamous [[PokéGods]] since the only way to obtain either of them is through the use of cheating devices/secret cheat codes (at present). Both the PokéGods and Arceus are also extremely powerful and both are said to be [[legendary Pokémon]]. The only difference between the PokéGods and Arceus is that the latter is confirmed to be a real Pokémon. Therefore Arceus may be a reference towards them.

====Name origin====
Arceus's name may come from the words ''arch'' (highest) and ''deus'', which is Latin and Greek for ''god''. It may also have a root in the Latin word ''arcanus'', which means ''secret; sacred mystery''.
Arceus's name may also come from the word ''archaic'' (ancient), which comes from the Greek ''arkhaios''. It could have also come from the Latin word ''archetypus'' (original). Alternatively, Arceus's name can be seen as a portmanteau of ''Zeus'', the most powerful of Greek gods and ''arch'' (highest).

History of the Pokémon world

2008-08-23T09:15:02Z

Joshuamanimtim2: /* Prehistory */

{{incomplete}}
{{cleanup}}
'''The history of the [[Pokémon world]]''', or what is known of it, sets the world of [[Pokémon]] apart from the real world in many ways.

Below is a timeline of events in the history of the Pokémon world, primarily those established in the [[canon]] of the [[Pokémon games]], since these apply most to other forms of canon. There is also a separate [[Timeline of events in the anime|timeline of events]] for the [[Pokémon anime]].

==Timeline==
===Beginning of the {{pkmn|universe}}===
This information is based primarily on [[Sinnoh myths|the mythology]] of both the [[Sinnoh]] and [[Hoenn]] regions.

* Beginning of universe
** {{p|Arceus}} comes into being.
** Arceus creates the [[dragon trio]] and the [[lake trio]].
** {{p|Giratina}} disappears into an alternate dimension.
** {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}} create matter, space, and time.
** {{p|Azelf}}, {{p|Uxie}}, and {{p|Mesprit}} create spirit.
** Arceus falls into a deep sleep.

* Creation of [[Pokémon world]]
**{{p|Groudon}} is formed from magma, {{p|Kyogre}} is formed by the pressure in the deep sea trenches, {{p|Rayquaza}} is formed by the minerals of the ozone layer.
** {{p|Groudon}} brings the land, {{p|Kyogre}} expands the sea.
**{{p|Mew}} is born.
** Groudon and Kyogre [[Pokémon battle|battle]], destroying nearly all they had created.
** {{p|Rayquaza}} intervenes, banishes Groudon and Kyogre to hidden areas of the Hoenn region and falls into a deep sleep.
** {{p|Regigigas}} moves the continents.
* [[Mt. Coronet]] is created.
** The Sinnoh [[region]] is created around [[Mt. Coronet]].
**[[Stark Mountain]] is created, {{p|Heatran}} is formed from lava.

===Prehistory===
This information is based primarily on the study of [[fossil]]s and archaeological remains.

*Millions of years before Generation I
**Earliest known {{cat|Fossil Pokémon|prehistoric Pokémon}} exist.

** A mysterious mutation causes the anscestors of Doduo two have two heads.
* 1500 years before [[Generation I]]
** The earliest known system for writing is developed and used at the [[Ruins of Alph]], [[Tanoby Ruins]], and [[Solaceon Ruins]]. Archaeologists are currently unsure whether the nearly identical {{p|Unown}} preceded or succeeded the writing system, but it is assumed they share some sort of connection.
**{{p|Shaymin}}, {{p|Celebi}}, {{p|Jirachi}} are born, {{p|Shaymin}} brings an abundance of plant life, {{p|Celebi}} travels through time, and {{p|Jirachi}} begins its 1000 year sleep for a 7 day wish.

**Herds of {{p|Latias}} and {{p|Latios}} are born.
**Swarms of {{p|Lunatone}} and {{p|Solrock}} fall into Earth from space.
**Farfetch'd population decreased by hunting.

===Recent history===
This information is based on historic records.

**First humans land on the moon.

*1990s

===Contemporary history===
====Games====
* Years prior to [[Generation I]]
** {{p|Mewtwo}} is cloned from {{p|Mew}}, and later escapes and destroys [[Cinnabar Island]]'s [[Pokémon Mansion]].

* [[Generation I]]/[[Generation III]]: The events of [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Red, Blue]], [[Pokémon Yellow Version|Yellow]], [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed, LeafGreen]], [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Ruby, Sapphire]] and [[Pokémon Emerald Version|Emerald]].
** {{ga|Red}}/{{ga|Leaf}} leaves [[Pallet Town]] on his/her Pokémon journey after their rival, [[Professor Oak]]'s grandson, {{ga|Blue}}. After getting the eight [[badge]]s of [[Kanto]], defeating [[Team Rocket]] along the way, he/she challenges Kanto's [[Elite Four]], then its current champion, none other than Blue himself. After defeating Blue, Red/Leaf becomes the [[Pokémon champion|champion]], then ventures to the [[Sevii Islands]] to eradicate Team Rocket and help [[Celio]] to connect his [[Pokémon Net Center]] to the [[Hoenn]] region. Eventually, Red ends up at [[Mt. Silver]], training day and night, and [[Lance]] ends up as champion. Blue, dejected, takes the empty gym in [[Viridian City]].
** {{ga|Brendan}}/{{ga|May}} leaves [[Littleroot Town]] on a Pokémon journey shortly after moving to the Hoenn region from [[Johto]] by saving the local [[Pokémon professor]] from an attacking [[wild Pokémon]]. At first, there is a deep-seated rivalry with [[Professor Birch]]'s son/daughter, however, later on, the rivalry is with [[Wally]] instead. After defeating Hoenn's eight [[Gym Leader]]s and, with the help of {{p|Rayquaza}}, calming both {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}}, released from their banishment by [[Team Magma]] and [[Team Aqua]], respectively, he/she challenges and defeats Hoenn's Elite Four and current champion, becoming the champion him/herself, much to the astonishment of Birch's child.

* Between [[Generation I]]/[[Generation III]] and [[Generation II]]/[[Generation IV]]
** [[Viridian Forest]] is cut down, creating a clear path for trainers.
** Eruption of volcano on [[Cinnabar Island]], which causes destruction of areas on the island.
** [[Koga]] abdicates his position as [[Fuchsia City|Fuchsia]] [[Fuchsia Gym|Gym]] [[Gym Leader|Leader]] to his daughter, [[Janine]], for a position among [[Kanto]]'s [[Elite Four]].
** [[Lorelei]] returns to her home in [[Four Island (town)|Four Island]].
** [[Agatha]] retires from her position as a member of the [[Kanto]] [[Elite Four]].
** Extensive reasearch confirmed the existence of Steel and Dark tpes.

* Three years after [[Generation I]]/[[Generation III]], [[Generation II]]/[[Generation IV]]: The events of [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions|Gold, Silver]], [[Pokémon Crystal Version|Crystal]], [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|Diamond and Pearl]].
** {{ga|Gold}}/{{ga|Kris}} leaves [[New Bark Town]] on an errand for [[Professor Elm]], bonding with his/her [[starter Pokémon]] on the way. A {{ga|Silver|red-haired boy}} steals one of Elm's three Pokémon, and challenges him/her as Gold/Kris's journey across Johto continues. A revived Team Rocket, using plans formulated three years prior, enrages many {{p|Gyarados}}, including a [[Red Gyarados|red one]], at the [[Lake of Rage]] and as well takes over the [[Johto Radio Tower]] in a desperate attempt to contact [[Giovanni]]. As they are defeated, the leader vows to never again re-form Team Rocket, and Gold/Kris continues to gather Johto's badges, eventually gaining all eight and traveling to the [[Pokémon League]] at the [[Indigo Plateau]] in Kanto. After championing it, over a new Elite Four and its previous champion, Lance, Gold/Kris then heads to the Kanto region to challenge its eight gyms, which have changed from three years prior. After gaining all eight of their badges, for a total of sixteen, [[Professor Oak]] declares him/her ready to travel to Mt. Silver, deep in the caves of where he/she meets and defeats Red.
** {{ga|Lucas}}/{{ga|Dawn}} and {{ga|Pearl}} leave [[Twinleaf Town]] in an attempt to see a Pokémon like the recently-reported red Gyarados in the nearest of [[Sinnoh]]'s lakes, [[Lake Verity]].

Preferably have a description running here akin to the descriptions available in the currently "up" walkthrough sections ( [[FrLg walkthrough/Section 1|1]] and [[FrLg walkthrough/Section 2|2]] ), with levels and the like?

Also, perhaps a list of attainable items?

==Battle Zone==

Why does this site refer to it as replacing the Battle Zone? According to new maps, the Battle Zone is still there, and this will just take place of the Battle Park.

--[[User:HoennMaster|--HoennMaster]] 03:43, 12 July 2008 (UTC)

== hint to GSDS? ==

Its gonna be set in Johto as in Gen 3 they visited Kanto again in the anime like the games did so Gen 4 will have to put frontier in a region and the only one left is Johto, if they are plannig to go to Johto again in the game they will in the anime as the 2 are linked. [[User:Sailor Earth|Guardian]][[Special:Contributions/Sailor Earth| of]][[User talk:Sailor Earth| Earth]] 13:06, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
:That was hard to understand but you're saying this may be evidence for a GSDS? Probably already on that page. And at any rate, it is NOT for sure that there WILL BE a GSDS. It may come in the next generation. If you do the math, this would that Gen V would have to make remakes of Hoenn and Kanto. Gen 7 would have to make 3 remakes. Gen 9 would make 4. It's exponentially increasing. (PS, I hope Pokémon makes it to 9 generations) [[User:Aura-Knight|Aura-Knight]] 14:13, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
::Not really. If they don't dump compatibility with Gen I-IV in Gen V, there'd be no need for remakes. The reason why FRLG came about was because of the lack of compatibility between Gen I/II and III. Same would be for GSDS. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 04:43, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

== Why? ==

Why is this called Battle Frontier? tc26 06:43, 20 July 2008 (UTC)
:Same reason that the Hoenn one is? Look on the Platinum site for "バトルフロンティア", that's the Japanese for it. It's why we knew the Sinnoh Battle Tower was the Battle Tower. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 08:16, 20 July 2008 (UTC)
:Heck, in that gif of screenshots, it says right in there, "WELCOME TO THE BATTLE FRONTIER!" '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 08:17, 20 July 2008 (UTC)

== image shape ==

the shape of the image we have indicates that it will fit in the battle park area, therefore it is possible that it will just be translated as an "improved battle park". lord mada 09:14, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

== Prinplup head? ==

It looks kinda like Swampert's head as well. At least, that's what I thought the first time I saw the artwork for it. Which do you think fits more?

== Theories on the other facilities. ==

1) The Castle-like structure might be the equivalent of the Battle Palace (in Hoenn).

'''"Handsome"''' (Japanese: '''ハンサム''' ''Handsome'') is the codename for a character introduced in {{game|Platinum}}. He was first announced in an issue of [[CoroCoro]].

He is an international police officer on assignment investigating Team Galactic and its plans. "Handsome" seems to be a protagonist, occasionally meeting up with the player; however, CoroCoro also questions what his true motives may be. Handsome can be seen talking with the player in many locations including [[Jubilife City]] and the [[Valley Windworks]].

A trainer sprite was made for "Handsome"; this might suggest that he will be seen in battle as an opponent.

'''Almia''' (Japanese: '''アルミア''' ''Almia'') is the setting of [[Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia]]. The region is similar to [[Fiore]] in the presence of [[Pokémon Ranger (trainer class)|Pokémon Rangers]]. Known features of the region include a school that the game centers on and water areas that can be travelled on using {{m|Surf}}. Almia is located south-west from [[Sinnoh]], and is in fact connected to it. This can be assumed by the fact that the region is apparently based on the only part of {{wp|Hokkaidō}} that does not appear in Sinnoh's map.

==Locations==
Below are the so far known locations of Almia.
===Towns/Cities===
* Chicole Village (Japanese: '''チコレむら''' ''Chicole Village'') - A village in the south of the region
* Vientown (Japanese: '''ビエンタウン''' ''Vientown'') - In this town, the Ranger School is based
* Puel Town (Japanese: '''ブエルタウン''' ''Puel Town'') - A town in the center of Almia
* Buruburu Village
* Habura Village

===Areas of Interest===
*Ranger School

==Trivia==
*The Haruba desert and nearby volcano in the eastern section of Almia may or not be connected to [[Orre]], as mountains and deserts are what the Orre region is primarily made of. Fans have speculated on the extent of this connection. It may also be located near another region.
*Almia is the only spin-off region to have a location near a konwn region in the Pokemon Nation.

'''Aerodactyl''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''プテラ''' ''Ptera'') is a dual-type {{2t|Rock|Flying}} Pokémon. It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.

Aerodactyl come with the [[Ability|abilities]] {{a|Rock Head}}, which prevents recoil damage, or {{a|Pressure}}, which forces the opponent to increase [[Power Points|PP]] usage.

==Biology==
It is widely considered to be extinct, and is only found by resurrecting it from the [[Old Amber]].
===Physiology===
A ferocious, prehistoric Pokémon, it possesses serrated, razor-sharp fangs that it uses to tear through the throats of its prey. Its wings have skin stretched from its side to its arms. The triangular-shaped tip of its tail is grey, like the tail itself which is connected to its oval body.
====Gender differences====
None.

===Special abilities===
Aerodactyl is capable of flying at great speeds and tearing through prey with its fangs. It is also very durable due to its rock-hard body.

===Behavior===
Aerodactyl's preferred method of killing its victims is by tearing through the throats of its victims with its serrated, saw-like fangs.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Mountain.gif|left|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Mountain Pokémon|Mountain Pokémon]]]]
The exact habitat of Aerodactyl is unknown even though some living samples have been found miles underground in caves, but so far most Aerodactyl are revived from [[Old Amber]].

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
In the episode Putting the Air Back in Aerodactyl the Aerodactyl seemed to enjoy eating a pear like fruit that grew in the forests of an island.

==In the anime==
[[Image:Aerodactyl anime.jpg|thumb|right|Aerodactyl in the anime]]
Aerodactyl first appeared in ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]''. It scared off the other [[Generation I]] fossil Pokémon that were chasing {{Ash}} and [[Team Rocket]]. It then kidnapped the young [[Pokémon Trainer|Trainer]], who was rescued by his {{AP|Charizard}}. [[Todd Snap|Todd]] took a photo of this Aerodactyl, which was seen in ''[[EP055|Pokémon Paparazzi]]''.

Fossils of {{p|Kabutops}} and Aerodactyl were resurrected by {{mov|Annie}} and [[Oakley]] in ''[[Pokémon Heroes]]''; in the English dub, they were once used by an evil Pokémon Trainer to torment the civilians of [[Alto Mare]], but were drowned when a {{p|Latios}} brought water to the city. They were sent to chase after Ash and {{p|Latias}}.

''[[H015|Putting the Air Back in Aerodactyl]]'' featured an Aerodactyl that was revived by [[Gary Oak]]. The Aerodactyl seemed to enjoy eating a pear like fruit that grew in the forests of an island. [[Team Rocket]] agents [[Butch]] and [[Cassidy]] wanted to steal this Aerodactyl in order to present it to [[Dr. Namba]], but were stopped by [[Gary's Umbreon]] and {{TP|Gary|Dodrio}}, and of course the Aerodactyl who sent the two Rockets flying with a {{m|Hyper Beam}}.

Another Aerodactyl appeared in ''[[DP017|Wild in the Streets]]'', where it terrorized [[Oreburgh City]] after being revived from its fossil state.

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Special===
{{Special|Red}} obtains an Aerodactyl from a resurrected piece of Old Amber. He has since then used it extensively for aerial transport and combat.

==In the TCG==

* Until [[Generation IV]], Aerodactyl could not learn {{m|Crunch}}, despite the fact that most of its Pokédex entries mentioned its saw-like teeth.
* Aerodactyl is the only non-{{type2|Steel}} Pokémon that can learn {{m|Iron Head}} by level.
* It is also the only Pokémon that learns both [[Hyper Beam]] and [[Giga Impact]] by level.
* No other Pokémon has the same [[type]] combination as Aerodactyl.
* Aerodactyl is the only [[fossil Pokémon]] that does not have an evolution or pre-evolution and is obtainable in another way besides reviving its fossilized form.
* Aerodactyl's shiny sprite is similar to the coloration of {{p|Crobat}}.
* The reason of the type combination of fossil pokemon Is with Rock types is because of it's state of being a fossil. Aerodactyl's type combination is Rock-Flying, so it is possible that Aerodactyl was once a the Flying type, if it wasn't for the extinction of the species.
===Origin===
It appears to be based upon {{wp|pterosaur}}s, prehistoric flying reptiles.
====Name origin====
Aerodactyl's name may be a pun, combining ''aero'', {{wp|Greek language|Greek}} for air, with the similar sounding ''{{wp|pterodactyl}}''. Its Japanese name is simply a shortening of the word ''pterodactyl''.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Aerodactyl

'''The history of the [[Pokémon world]]''', or what is known of it, sets the world of [[Pokémon]] apart from the real world in many ways.

Below is a timeline of events in the history of the Pokémon world, primarily those established in the [[canon]] of the [[Pokémon games]], since these apply most to other forms of canon. There is also a separate [[Timeline of events in the anime|timeline of events]] for the [[Pokémon anime]].

After defeating Blue, Red/Leaf becomes the [[Pokémon champion|champion]], then ventures to the [[Sevii Islands]] to eradicate Team Rocket and help [[Celio]] to connect his [[Pokémon Net Center]] to the [[Hoenn]] region. Eventually, Red ends up at [[Mt. Silver]], training day and night, and [[Lance]] ends up as champion. Blue, dejected, takes the empty gym in [[Viridian City]].
** {{ga|Brendan}}/{{ga|May}} leaves [[Littleroot Town]] on a Pokémon journey shortly after moving to the Hoenn region from [[Johto]] by saving the local [[Pokémon professor]] from an attacking [[wild Pokémon]]. At first, there is a deep-seated rivalry with [[Professor Birch]]'s son/daughter, however, later on, the rivalry is with [[Wally]] instead. After defeating Hoenn's eight [[Gym Leader]]s and, with the help of {{p|Rayquaza}}, calming both {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}}, released from their banishment by [[Team Magma]] and [[Team Aqua]], respectively, he/she challenges and defeats Hoenn's Elite Four and current champion, becoming the champion him/herself, much to the astonishment of Birch's child.

** [[Viridian Forest]] is cut down, creating a clear path for trainers.

** {{ga|Gold}}/{{ga|Kris}} leaves [[New Bark Town]] on an errand for [[Professor Elm]], bonding with his/her [[starter Pokémon]] on the way. A {{ga|Silver|red-haired boy}} steals one of Elm's three Pokémon, and challenges him/her as Gold/Kris's journey across Johto continues. A revived Team Rocket, using plans formulated three years prior, enrages many {{p|Gyarados}}, including a [[Red Gyarados|red one]], at the [[Lake of Rage]] and as well takes over the [[Johto Radio Tower]] in a desperate attempt to contact [[Giovanni]]. As they are defeated, the leader vows to never again re-form Team Rocket, and Gold/Kris continues to gather Johto's badges, eventually gaining all eight and traveling to the [[Pokémon League]] at the [[Indigo Plateau]] in Kanto. After championing it, over a new Elite Four and its previous champion, Lance, Gold/Kris then heads to the Kanto region to challenge its eight gyms, which have changed from three years prior. After gaining all eight of their badges, for a total of sixteen, [[Professor Oak]] declares him/her ready to travel to Mt. Silver, deep in the caves of where he/she meets and defeats Red.
** {{ga|Lucas}}/{{ga|Dawn}} and {{ga|Pearl}} leave [[Twinleaf Town]] in an attempt to see a Pokémon like the recently-reported red Gyarados in the nearest of [[Sinnoh]]'s lakes, [[Lake Verity]]. After being attacked by a wild {{p|Starly}} at the lake, and using one of [[Professor Rowan]]'s Pokémon to fend off the attacker, the journey begins in earnest, where both Lucas/Dawn and Pearl challenge the Sinnoh region's eight gyms to gain the badges necessary to challenge the {{si|Pokémon League}}. Along the way, however, Lucas/Dawn is brought into many conflicts with [[Team Galactic]], whose leader, [[Cyrus]], wishes to re-make the entire universe in his image with the powers of the [[legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}. Defeating the team and calming {{p|Dialga}}/{{p|Palkia}}, Lucas/Dawn challenges Sinnoh's Elite Four and champion, [[Cynthia]], and becomes champion him/herself. 
**Meteor strikes Earth, forming 2 {{p|Deoxys}}.

[[Image:Sinnoh_Region.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Bird's eye-view of the Sinnoh Region]]
The '''Sinnoh region''' (Japanese: '''シンオウ地方''' ''Shin'ō-chihō'') is a region in the Pokémon world, the setting of the [[Generation IV]] games [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl]]. It is [[Pokémon world in relation to the real world|based on]] the geography of the Japanese island of [[wp:Hokkaido|Hokkaido]], and according to the [[anime]], the Sinnoh region is located north of the [[Kanto]] region.

== Geography ==
Sinnoh features a broad range of new and classic environments for the player to explore including, for the first time in a Pokémon RPG, snowy routes. The region also features full-land geography, with only five [[sea route]]s. Despite this lack of sea routes, a direct opposite of the [[Hoenn]] region, the Sinnoh region is known to be rich in water, and has three lakes at the northernmost ([[Lake Acuity|Acuity]]), easternmost ([[Lake Valor|Valor]]), and westernmost ([[Lake Verity|Verity]]) ends of the main continent that are home to the members of the [[lake trio|legendary trio of Sinnoh]]. Near Lake Valor, as well, there is a hidden fourth lake, [[Sendoff Spring]], which houses [[Turnback Cave]], the home of a fourth [[legendary Pokémon]], {{p|Giratina}}.

Due to its large size, the main continent of Sinnoh can be broken into two sub-regions divided by [[Mt. Coronet]], roughly comparable to how the continent that [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]] make up is essentially a contiguous region. Due to this, {{p|Shellos}} and {{p|Gastrodon}} have developed an instance of [[wp:regional speciation|regional speciation]], with members of the species found on the eastern side being blue-colored and members on the western side being pink-colored.

The western half of Sinnoh features a variety of landscapes. Its coasts are notably more rocky than the eastern half, however, the land is far more fertile, and the towns, for the most part, are rural. A windswept canyon, carved out by a river that flows from Mt. Coronet, is home to the [[Valley Windworks]], which provides clean, wind-driven electricity to the nearby towns. This is not to say, however, that there is no importance to west Sinnoh, as [[Oreburgh City]], [[Eterna City]], and [[Canalave City]] are the locations of [[Pokémon Gym]]s, and [[Jubilife City]], at the heart of the area, is the most technologically advanced city in the region.

Sinnoh's eastern half is home, however, to a vast many more things, including [[Pokémon Super Contest]]s in [[Hearthome City]], a [[Veilstone Department Store|Department Store]] in [[Veilstone City]], the [[Great Marsh]] of [[Pastoria City]], and the awe-inspiring [[Vista Lighthouse]] of [[Sunyshore City]]. In each of these cities, as well, there is a Pokémon Gym, which is very important for League-bound trainers.

Unlike the halves of Sinnoh divided longitudinally by Mt. Coronet, the northern area is sparsely populated, with [[Snowpoint City]] as the only major area, likely due to the harsh snows that blow down from the mountain's peak, making the area not only very cold, but as well making a trip northward very perilous. Despite this relative isolation, however, Snowpoint as well has a Pokémon Gym, making it another important stop for trainers who wish to compete in the Pokémon League.

A third sub-region is the [[Battle Zone]], which is on a large island to the northeast of the mainland. Much like people from the [[Sevii Islands]] seem to consider their home to be a separate region from [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]], people from the Battle Zone often refer to Sinnoh as a separate region. Several islands, including [[Newmoon Island]], [[Fullmoon Island]], and [[Iron Island]], lie off the northwestern coast of Sinnoh as well, though these are far eclipsed in both size and importance by the mainland.

Separated from both the Battle Zone and the mainland of Sinnoh by several straits is the island on which [[Pokémon League (Sinnoh)|Pokémon League]] of Sinnoh is located, the only access to which is by way of {{rt|223}}. It is here where Sinnoh's [[Victory Road (Sinnoh)|Victory Road]] is located, which, unlike previous incarnations has not two, but three entrances: One of these, of course, is the southern entrance that trainers from the mainland must navigate from, a second is the one that leads to the area in which the [[Elite Four]] can be challenged, and the third leads from a [[Defog (move)|foggy]] area of Victory Road to {{rt|224}}, which is said to be a miniature version of Sinnoh. North from Route 224, through a special event, of course, leads the [[Seabreak Path]] to {{p|Shaymin}}'s domain, the [[Flower Paradise]].

* [[Sendoff Spring]]
* [[Sinnoh Underground]]
* [[Spear Pillar]]
* [[Stark Mountain]]
* [[Turnback Cave]]

===Routes===

Much like [[Hoenn]] before it, Sinnoh's routes are numbered so that they don't follow sequence directly from previously-known regions' routes. Routes in Sinnoh are numbered from [[Route 201|201]] to [[Route 230|230]]. Compared to previous generations, there do not seem to be many sea routes; there are many land routes and mountains. The idea of routes with differing [[weather conditions]] was also brought ahead from [[Generation III]]. For the first time ever in a Pokémon game, some of Sinnoh's routes have snow covering them.

Another quirk about the routes in Sinnoh is that some of them do not go directly east/west or north/south, but actually turn before reaching their destination, most notably [[Route 212]], which has two limbs of equal length. While Hoenn's [[Route 114]] did this on the [[Game Boy Advance]], it was not to this scale, so one may presume that the GBA was limited in this sense.

== League ==
''Main article: [[Sinnoh League]]''

The Sinnoh League is the regional [[Pokémon League]] of the Sinnoh region. The [[Elite Four]] and the [[Champion]] are located at the [[Pokémon League (Sinnoh)|Sinnoh Pokémon League]]

==Trivia==
*Sinnoh's [[Gym Leader]]s each use a type that has previously been seen in another region's Gym. Four of them were first seen in [[Kanto]], in fact, they are the same types as the first four Gyms of Kanto, {{t|Rock}}, {{t|Water}}, {{t|Electric}}, and {{t|Grass}}. Similarly, the other four were first seen in [[Johto]], and are the same as the fourth through seventh Gyms of that region, {{t|Ghost}}, {{t|Fighting}}, {{t|Steel}}, and {{t|Ice}}.

A revived Team Rocket, using plans formulated three years prior, enrages many {{p|Gyarados}}, including the [[Red Gyarados]], at the [[Lake of Rage]] and as well takes over the [[Johto Radio Tower]] in a desperate attempt to contact [[Giovanni]]. As they are defeated, the leader vows to never again re-form Team Rocket, and Gold/Kris continues to gather Johto's badges, eventually gaining all eight and traveling to the [[Pokémon League]] at the [[Indigo Plateau]] in Kanto. After championing it, over a new Elite Four and its previous champion, Lance, Gold/Kris then heads to the Kanto region to challenge its eight gyms, which have changed from three years prior.

Pokémon world in relation to the real world

2007-07-14T10:19:23Z

Joshuamanimtim2: /* Orre */

: ''The contents of this article are speculative.''
----
The design of five of the major Pokémon regions - [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], [[Hoenn]], [[Orre]], and [[Sinnoh]] are strikingly similar in geography and demographics to regions in the real world, specifically those of [[wp:Japan|Japan]].

[[Image:Locations.PNG|thumb|right|250px|The map of Japan showing the four Pokémon regions' relation to the said regional country. (from [http://www.pokewiki.de pokewiki.de])]]

=Kanto=
The [[wp:Kanto region|Kantō region]] of Japan is not only identical in name to [[Kanto]] in the Pokémon world, it is also very similar geographically; however, the western part of the game Kanto corresponds to eastern [[wp:Chubu region|Chūbu]].

==Alto Mare==
Alto Mare is based on [[wp:Venice|Venice]], [[wp:Italy|Italy]].

==LaRousse City==

==Sootopolis City==
Sootopolis City is based on [[wp:Santorini|Santorini]], [[wp:Greece|Greece]].

=Real-world locations mentioned=
* [[wp:China|China]] is mentioned several times in the [[Pokédex]].
* [[Lt. Surge]] is from the [[wp:USA|USA]].
* Mew was originally discovered in [[wp:South America|South America]].
* Some of Xatu's [[Pokédex]] entries mention [[wp:South America|South America]].
* [[Silph Co.]]'s [[wp:Tiksi|Tiksi]] Branch is in [[wp:Russia|Russia]].
* [[Meowth (Team Rocket)|Meowth]] grew up in [[wp:Hollywood|Hollywood]], [[wp:California|California]], which the cast later visits for a movie premiere.
* [[Fantina]] is assumed to come from [[wp:France|France]], due to the dialogue stated when the player fights her.

Pokémon world in relation to the real world

2007-07-14T10:18:40Z

Joshuamanimtim2: /* Orre */

: ''The contents of this article are speculative.''
----
The design of five of the major Pokémon regions - [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], [[Hoenn]], [[Orre]], and [[Sinnoh]] are strikingly similar in geography and demographics to regions in the real world, specifically those of [[wp:Japan|Japan]].

[[Image:Locations.PNG|thumb|right|250px|The map of Japan showing the four Pokémon regions' relation to the said regional country. (from [http://www.pokewiki.de pokewiki.de])]]

=Kanto=
The [[wp:Kanto region|Kantō region]] of Japan is not only identical in name to [[Kanto]] in the Pokémon world, it is also very similar geographically; however, the western part of the game Kanto corresponds to eastern [[wp:Chubu region|Chūbu]].

'''Shedinja''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: ヌケニン ''Nukenin'') is a {{t|Bug}}/{{t|Ghost}}-type Pokémon.

=Biology=
==Physiology==
===Gender differences===
This Pokémon is a genderless species.

===Special abilities===
==Behavior==
==Habitat==
==Diet==
''Main article: [[Pokémon food]]''

=In the anime=

Shedinja first appeared in ''[[AG044|The Princess and the Togepi]]''. It was owned by [[Colonel Hansen]].

Since then, it has appeared in some episodes involving [[Pokémon Contests]] as an extra.

=Game data=
==Pokédex entries==
{{Dex
|type=bug
|gen=3
|rubydex=Shedinja's hard body doesn't move - not even a twitch. In fact, its body appears to be merely a hollow shell. It is believed that this Pokémon will steal the spirit of anyone peering into its hollow body from its back.
|sapphiredex=Shedinja is a peculiar Pokémon. It seems to appear unsought in a [[Poké Ball]] after a {{p|Nincada}} evolves. This bizarre Pokémon is entirely immobile - it doesn't even breathe.
|emeralddex=A peculiar Pokémon that floats in air even though its wings remain completely still. The inside of its body is hollow and utterly dark.
|firereddex=A most peculiar Pokémon that somehow appears in a [[Poké Ball]] when a {{p|Nincada}} evolves.
|leafgreendex=A most peculiar Pokémon that somehow appears in a [[Poké Ball]] when a {{p|Nincada}} evolves.
|diamonddex=
|pearldex=A discarded bug shell that came to life. Peering into the crack on its back is said to steal one's spirit.

==Base stats==
{{BaseStats|
HP=1 |
Attack=90 |
Defense=45 |
SpAtk=30 |

Speed=40 }}

==Type effectiveness==
Due to [[Wonder Guard (ability)|its ability]], Shedinja is only affected by the types it is weak to - {{t|Dark}}, {{t|Fire}}, {{t|Flying}}, {{t|Ghost}} and {{t|Rock}}. Due to its HP, any hit from such a move will knock it out. This means that for Shedinja, the five types mentioned above are one-hit KO's, and the others don't affect it.

Shedinja can also be damaged by {{m|Struggle}} and any of the [[Shadow moves]] from [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and [[Pokémon XD]].

In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]], the standard B-button tackle will do one HP damage and {{p|Shedinja}} always has a maximum of 5 HP.

=Trivia=
* Shedinja is the only Pokémon who's HP (or any stat's) IV cannot be determined, due to it always having the same amount of HP. To figure out a Shedinja's HP IV, one must find out the HP IV of the Nincada or Ninjask it came from.
*Unconfirmed if a glitch:
If you leave a extra slot(like what you do to evolve a Nincada into a Shedinja)then when a Nincada reaches LV.19(make sure it is in front)use a rare candy.Then when your pokemon evolves into a Ninjask,a Shedinja will appear.
==Origin==
It is based on the shed husk that [[wp:cicada|cicada]]s leave behind when they finish their [[wp:metamorphosis|metamorphosis]] into adults.
===Name origin===
Shedinja's name is a combination of ''shed'', casting off of skin or exoskeleton, and ''[[wp:Ninja|ninja]]''. Its Japanese name is a combination of 抜け殻 ''nukegara'', casting off skin, and 忍者 ''ninja''. ''Nukenin'' is also a term describing ninja who have abandoned their clan and lord. The German name is probably a combination of ''ninja'' and ''tomb''.

It's quite possible that Cinnibar is a part of the Sevii Islands, as Midway Island, for instance, is technically a part of the Hawaiian chain. [[User:Evkl|evkl]] 19:26, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Where did that information come from that Shino is based on Hokkaido? --[[User:Greengiant|Greengiant]] 02:35, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

:Because, you gotta look at the released Corocoro scans from this month ==[[User:Jason|Jade]] 2.56pm, 14 June 2006 (AEST)

::And what do you know about Japanese geography, eh? Could be Hokkaido - but the mountain chain makes me suspect Hokuriku - which is on the west side of the Japanese Alps. - [[User:Zhen Lin|振霖]][[User talk:Zhen Lin|T]] 07:22, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

:::To anyone who wishes to edit this page so as to state that Hokkaido has been confirmed - learn Japanese beforehand and refrain from counting on unofficial web sites. CoroCoro only referred to Shin'ō as an island similar to Hoenn - that leaves Shikoku and Hokkaido. It is plain to see that the map, which has been largely revealed to us, takes the shape of Hokkaido. It is for this that some web sites such as Filb.de claim it to be based on Hokkaido as if it were confirmed.

:::Unlike Zhen Lin, I am absolutely confident in the veracity of Hokkaido. Even so, the correct wording is to be used at the very least until a full map has been obtained. Hoenn was confirmed to have been modeled after Kyūshū not long after Ruby and Sapphire had seen release. That said, Sevii Islands and Orre have thus far remained in the realm of speculation - but at least we have the resources provided by the games. --[[User:Unown Lord|Unown Lord]]
