Rule variants

2011-01-11T17:54:21Z

Kohei: /* Global Battle Union */ You can use all legally obtainable moves on a Pokemon, regardless of generation involved.

A '''rule variant''' refers to a [[Pokémon battle]] that follows certain regulations. While the [[main series]] Pokémon games have no restriction on the Pokémon that a {{player}} may use, rule variants often restrict the [[level]]s, [[species]], [[item]]s, and [[move]]s of Pokémon.

==Common clauses==
Almost all of the rule variations in Pokémon have a certain set of rules, which are called '''clauses''' by the [[fanon]]. Clauses are put into play in order to prevent degenerate strategies, to prevent the game from becoming stagnant, or to eliminate ties. The following clauses are often used in official tournaments, console Pokémon games, and unofficial battles:

*'''Sleep Clause''': Each player can only have one Pokémon asleep at a time (Pokémon that are put to sleep due to {{m|Rest}} do not count).
*'''Freeze Clause''': Each player can only have one Pokémon frozen at a time.
*'''Species Clause''': All of the Pokémon on a player's team must be different.
*'''Item Clause''': Each Pokémon on a player's team must be holding different items.
*'''Self-KO Clause''' (also known as '''Kamikaze Clause'''): The player automatically loses if his last Pokémon uses {{m|Selfdestruct}} or {{m|Explosion}}. {{m|Destiny Bond}} and {{m|Perish Song}} also fail when used by the last Pokémon.
*'''Event Clause''': Pokémon and items that have only been released through [[event Pokémon|events]], such as [[Mew]], are ineligible.

==Generation I==
===Tournaments===
====Japanese tournaments====
A series of annual tournaments sponsored by Nintendo began in 1997, taking place in various locations across Japan. These tournaments, which would later be referred to as '''Nintendo Cups''' in the Japanese version of the [[Pokémon Stadium series]], established the first set of rule variants that would pave the way for all future tournaments and Pokémon games.

The '''Nintendo Cup '97''' established the following rules:

Due to time constraints, [[full battle]]s did not take place. Instead, each player selected three Pokémon to battle after showing their team to their opponent.

The finalists in the tournament appeared as opponents in the Japan-only {{jap|Pokémon Stadium}} and in the Japanese version of the following {{eng|Pokémon Stadium}}. In addition, most of the [[Pokémon Stadium (Japanese)#Pokémon|Pokémon that appeared]] in Pokémon Stadium were selected due to their tournament performance. <ref>[http://www.nintendo.co.jp/n01/n64/software/nus_p_npsj/qa/qa.html] Pokémon Stadium Q&A</ref>

[[File:Pocket Monsters Tour 98 pass.jpg|thumb|right|100px|A pass for the Nintendo Cup '98]]
The next tournament, '''Nintendo Cup '98''', featured a drastically different set of rules:

In addition, only Pokémon that [[Pokémon Stadium (Japanese)#Pokémon|appeared in]] the first Stadium were allowed to participate, limiting the selection to only 33 Pokémon.

====International tournaments====
[[File:Stadiumtourlogo.gif|thumb|right|300px|The Pokémon 2000 Stadium Tour logo]]

The first North American tournament, the [[Pokémon 2000 Stadium Tour]], took place to promote the upcoming {{eng|Pokémon Stadium}}. Competitors were separated into three skill groups: Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced. Each skill group featured three divisions from Pokémon Stadium: the [[Pika Cup]], [[Poké Cup]], and the [[Prime Cup]].

Each Cup division only lasted for two rounds. Each participant received a Pokémon Stadium Tour Competition Badge; in addition, players who won one match would receive a {{badge|Boulder}} while players who won both matches would receive the {{badge|Cascade}}.

A worldwide tournament took place later the same year, called the '''Thunder for Down Under''' in North America. In this tournament, players from Australia, Belgium, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Spain, the United Kingdom, and the United States all competed in regional championships, with the winners heading for the '''Pokémon 2000 World Championship''' in Sydney, Australia. In North America, the qualifying events took place at four {{wp|Wizards of the Coast}} stores, with 32 entrants for each store.

===In the games===
====Pokémon Stadium (Japanese)====
{{main|Pokémon Stadium (Japanese)}}

The {{jap|Pokémon Stadium|first Pokémon Stadium}} game, which was only released in Japan in 1998, was heavily based upon the first two Japanese tournaments. The finalists from the Nintendo Cup '97 appeared as opponents in the L50-55 Division.

The game featured a tournament mode with two divisions: the L1-30 division, based upon the Nintendo Cup '98, and the L50-55 division, based upon the prior tournament.

|}

Each division also featured a set of rules that would become standard for all console games:
*The sleep, freeze, species, and Self-KO clauses are in effect.
*Both teams are shown before the battle, and each player must select three Pokémon to battle.
*The player has to defeat eight Trainers in a row to win the tournament. If he loses, he must start over from the beginning. Unlike future console games, however, there are no Continues.
**Certain tournaments have four divisions: the Poké, Great, Ultra, and Master Ball divisions. After a player clears a division, the next division is unlocked. If all four divisions are beaten, the player wins the Cup. In this game, the L1-30 Division had four divisions.

The game also featured a Free Battle mode where players could customize their rules.

====Pokémon Yellow====
{{main|Pokemon Yellow#Connectivity}}

The [[Cable Club]] in [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Pokémon Red, Green,]] and [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|Blue]] featured no rule regulations. However, {{game|Yellow}} featured an exclusive battle arena, '''Colosseum 2''', with three Cups:

Each player could only use three Pokémon, and no additional rules were in effect. These Cups would later be used in the international {{eng|Pokémon Stadium}} and future international tournaments.

====Pokémon Stadium====
[[File:PKM Stadium 2 JPN Cups.png|thumb|right|200px|The Japanese Stadium Cups in Pokémon Stadium]]
{{main|Pokémon Stadium (English)}}

A second Pokémon Stadium game, which would be released internationally as {{eng|Pokémon Stadium}}, came out later in the year. In this game, the tournaments were called '''[[Stadium Cup]]s'''.

The following rule was added:
*In the Stadium Cups, a Continue is earned when a player wins a battle without losing any Pokémon. If a player loses a battle, a Continue can be used to re-try the previous battle.

All versions of Pokémon Stadium featured the had the Pika and Petit Cups from Colosseum 2, along with the Prime Cup, a no-holds barred tournament based upon the normal Cable Club battles. The Japanese version also features three Nintendo Cups based upon the first three Japanese tournaments.

Real-life representatives appeared as opponents in the Nintendo Cup '98.

The Nintendo Cup '99 and the Prime Cup each had four divisions. When both Cups were cleared, the player would earn an upgrade in the [[Game Boy Tower]].

In the international versions, the Nintendo Cups were replaced with the Poké Cup from Colosseum 2. The Poké Cup featured the four divisions and the arena of Nintendo Cup '99, and had to be cleared in tandem with the Prime Cup to unlock the [[Game Boy Tower]] upgrade. Due to its similarity to the Nintendo Cups, it is referred to as the "official Pokémon tournament".

Pokémon Stadium also introduced a [[Gym Leader Castle]], where the player had to defeat the eight [[Gym Leader]]s and the [[Elite Four]] of the Generation I games. While the Castle featured no level restrictions, all of the opposing Pokémon would be at level 50 by default. If the player used a higher leveled Pokémon, all of the opponents' Pokémon would be at the same level as the player's highest-leveled Pokémon. A similar auto-leveling feature would appear in the [[Battle Frontier (Generation III)|Generation III Battle Frontier]] and future battling facilities. The Castle also featured the same overall clauses as the Stadium Cups.

Pokémon Stadium was also the first Pokémon game that allowed more than two players to battle at a time. Up to four players could compete in the Free Battle mode; if two players were on a team, each player could only select and control three Pokémon. A similar mode of play, Multi Battle, was introduced in the [[Generation III]] main series games.

==Generation II==
===Tournaments===
[[File:2000 Cup logo.gif|thumb|right|300px|The logo of the Nintendo Cup 2000]]

In Japan, a fourth tournament called the '''Nintendo Cup 2000''' was held using the [[Generation II]] Pokémon games. Similar to '''Nintendo Cup '97''', the tournament took place using Pokemon from levels 50-55, with a team limit of 155. The following rules were also established:
*Each Pokémon must hold different items.
*{{m|Perish Song}} and {{m|Destiny Bond}} fail when used by the final Pokémon.

The second tournament, the '''Mobile Cup 2001''', was a little-known tournament with 1000 players that used the Japan-only [[Pokémon Mobile System GB]]. Each battle had a 10-minute time limit; if a decision was not made by that time, Nintendo would decide the outcome. Unlike previous tournaments, there were no limits on the number of Pokémon that could be asleep or frozen or moves that the last Pokémon could use.

===In the games===
====Pokémon Stadium 2====
The final Pokémon Stadium game, [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], featured four [[Stadium Cup]]s in all versions. The Poké and Prime Cups returned from the original; however, the Prime Cup only had one division. The [[Little Cup]] and the [[Challenge Cup]] were added, with the latter featuring four divisions.

The moves {{m|Dragon Rage}} and {{m|SonicBoom}} were banned in the Little Cup, making it the first rule variant to prohibit certain attacks.

The game also allowed players to customize and save various rules.

====Pokémon Crystal====
{{main|Battle Tower (Johto)}}
[[Pokémon Crystal]] introduced the [[Battle Tower]], a special battling facility. The Battle Tower's rules were similar to [[Pokémon Stadium series|Pokémon Stadium]]'s:
*Players must select three different Pokémon to battle.
*All Pokémon must be holding different items.
*The player must defeat seven opponents in a row. The challenge can only be interrupted by saving between battles; otherwise, the Trainer will be disqualified.

In a change from the Pokemon Stadium games, a draw would end the player's streak, even if the opponent's Pokemon caused the draw with a move such as Explosion. Also, items could not be used from the [[Bag]].

In the Japanese version, players could access a ranking system by connecting with the Mobile System GB. Each player would be ranked based on their streak, and the computers would use the teams of various Trainers. A similar feature would be used in the [[Generation IV]] {{si|Battle Tower}}.

Unlike future Battle Towers, powerful legendary and event Pokémon could be used in the level 70 and higher divisions.

==Generation III==
===Japanese tournaments===
The first tournament of [[Generation III]] took place at '''[[Pokémon Festa]] 2003'''. Unlike previous Japanese tournaments, two divisions were available: a Level 50 and a Level 100 Division. The tournament used the single battle format, and only Pokémon from the [[Hoenn Pokédex]] could be used. Players that won three consecutive rounds won a {{p|Jirachi}}.

The following tournament took place at '''Pokémon Festa 2004'''. This tournament used the [[double battle]] format, which would be the official format for all future tournaments. Unlike single battles, each player selected four Pokémon for battle. In addition to the previous rules, new restrictions were placed on nicknames: no vulgarities are to be used nor any Pokémon could be named after another Pokémon (e.g. a Smeargle nicknamed "KYOGRE").

As {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} were released earlier in the year, almost all of the Pokémon in the [[National Pokédex]] were available for use.

===International tournaments===
[[File:Pokemon emerald competitors.jpg|thumb|left|150px|The competitors of the Ultimate Frontier Brain Battle]]

A small competition called the [[Pokémon Emerald Ultimate Frontier Brain Battle]] took place in 2005 to commemorate the international release of {{game|Emerald}}. Fourteen competitors were selected after a series of online quizzes, with a trip to [[PokéPark]] on the line.

The tournament used the single battle format. Unlike other Generation III tournaments, all items were banned.

===In the games===
====Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire====
{{main|Double battles}}
The Generation III games introduced double battles, where each player battled with two Pokémon at a time. In double battles, certain attacks affect multiple Pokémon and certain abilities, such as {{a|Plus}} and {{a|Minus}}, only take effect in double battles. While double battles were rarely touched upon in the storyline, the format has been used in almost every tournament since '''Pokémon Festa 2004''' and is the main format in the story modes of [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]].

In the Cable Club, four players could play a double battle variant called the [[Tag battle|Multi Battle]]. Similar to Pokémon Stadium, each player could only select and control three Pokémon at a time.

Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire featured a {{ho|Battle Tower}} extremely similar to {{jo|Battle Tower|Pokémon Crystal's}}. However, only two divisions were available: the Level 50 and the Level 100 division. Also, double battles could not be conducted.

====Pokémon Colosseum====
In Pokémon Colosseum, the [[Stadium Cup]]s were replaced with [[Colosseum]]s. While the general clauses remained from the [[Pokémon Stadium series]], the Colosseums had no special rules in place. Each Colosseum could be challenged in a single or double battle format.

|}
|}

Pokémon Colosseum also introduced [[Poké Coupon]]s, which were rewarded to the player upon completing portions of [[Mt. Battle]]. Poké Coupons could be traded in for various [[TM]]s or items; however, the player received a 15% penalty for each legendary Pokémon used.

====Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen====
{{main|Trainer Tower}}
In the remakes of the [[Generation I]] games, a Battle Tower was not present; instead, [[Trainer Tower]] took its place.

While the Battle Tower valued winning streaks, the Trainer Tower prioritized speed. In the Japanese version, players could scan [[e-Cards]] to change the floor layouts; in international versions, the [[e-Reader]] support was removed, and many of the card layouts were incorporated into the Tower.

The Trainer Tower featured four modes of play: Singles, Doubles, Knockout, and Mixed. In a Knockout Battle, the player had to defeat three Trainers in a single battle consecutively. The Mixed mode incorporated battles from the other three layouts.

Unlike the Battle Tower, no clauses were in effect, items could be used from the [[Bag]], and the player could interrupt their challenge to use the [[Pokémon Center]] in the lobby at any time.

In addition, a special battle format was present in the [[Union Room]]. Each Trainer could select two Pokémon up to Level 30 in a Single Battle format.

====Pokémon Emerald====
{{main|Battle Frontier (Generation III)}}
Pokémon Emerald introduced the first [[Battle Frontier]]. In addition to the Battle Tower, it featured six other facilities with special rules, similar to the [[Stadium Cup]]s.

Each facility could be challenged in a Single Battle or a Double Battle format. In addition, two players could team up in a Multi Battle format, where each player could control two Pokémon at a time. Players could battle in a Level 50 division or an Open Level division where all of the opponent's Pokémon would be at the same level as the player's highest-leveled Pokémon.

Unlike the previous Battle Tower, players would not receive items after winning a streak. Instead, players received [[Battle Point]]s. Like [[Poké Coupon]]s, Battle Points could be saved and traded in for certain items or attacks; however, there was no penalty for using legendary Pokémon.

In addition, [[Trainer Hill]] was added, which is similar to Trainer Tower.

====Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness====
Unlike [[Pokémon Colosseum]], Pokémon XD does not feature a Battle Mode. However, after completing the game, the player may challenge the [[Orre Colosseum]], which has similar regulations to the Colosseums in Battle Mode.

Like almost all of the battles in the game, the Colosseum uses the double battle format.

==Generation IV==
===Tournaments===
The first tournament for [[Generation IV]] took place in '''Pokémon Festa 2006''', whereby Pokémon only found in the [[Sinnoh Pokedex#Diamond and Pearl edition|original Sinnoh Pokédex]] were eligible. No Pokémon are allowed to hold [[Soul Dew]], and it remains a banned item throughout all Generation IV competitions from 2006 to 2010.

The worldwide tournaments continued the following year; however, the name of the tournament was changed to the '''Pokémon Video Game Championships''' outside of Japan. Players could only use [[Pokémon Platinum]], and the [[form differences|alternate forms]] introduced in Platinum were ineligible. The [[Double Cup]] rules were reinstated.

[[File:Video Game Championships 2010 logo.png|thumb|right|150px|The international logo for the 2010 Video Game Championships]]

In 2010, powerful legendary Pokémon such as {{p|Mewtwo}} were allowed once again. These Pokémon, referred to as '''special Pokémon''', were limited to two per team. Event Pokémon such as {{p|Mew}} were still disallowed.

The tournament used only {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, and the rules followed the [[GS Cup]] rule set found in [[Flat Battle]] mode. All Pokémon above level 50 were leveled down to 50, while Pokémon below level 50 will retain their levels. Also, [[Pseudo-legendary|pseudo-legendaries]] like {{p|Dragonite}} and {{p|Tyranitar}} could finally compete, and Giratina and its [[Form differences#Giratina|Altered Forme]] was allowed.

===In the games===
====Pokémon Diamond and Pearl====
:''Main articles: [[Single Battle (Battle Mode)]] or [[Double Battle (Battle Mode)]]''
{{main|Mix Battle}}
In Generation IV, six Cups were introduced for wireless battles in the Pokémon Colosseum Club Colosseum, many of which are similar to those in the [[Pokémon Stadium series]]. In addition, players could set the levels of all Pokémon to 50 or 100 during [[Wi-Fi]] battles.

[[Mix Battle]]s were also introduced, whereby players will swap one Pokémon with each other from a team of three, then battle.

Unlike Pokémon Emerald, Diamond and Pearl does not have a Battle Frontier, only a {{si|Battle Tower}}. In addition, all Pokémon levels above 50 will be lowered to 50 during battle, Pokémon below level 50 will retain their levels.

====Pokémon Battle Revolution====
Colosseums made their return; however, like the [[Stadium Cup]]s, each Colosseum features a special rule. Each battle takes place in a Level 30 or a Level 50 mode, and can eventually be challenged in a Single or a Double Battle format. Players may use [[Rental Pass]]es or [[Custom Pass]]es in any Colosseum except for the Gateway Colosseum, which restricts the player to Rental Passes.

====Pokémon Platinum====
{{main|Battle Frontier (Generation IV)}}
As with Pokémon Emerald, a new {{gdis|Battle Frontier|IV}} replaced the Battle Tower.

====Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver====
{{main|Flat Battle}}
[[Flat Battle]] mode was introduced in HeartGold and SoulSilver at the Pokémon Communication Club Colosseum. Regardless of rule set, all Pokémon are set to level 50 for the duration of the battle. The Battle Frontier from Pokémon Platinum also made a return.

==Generation V==
===Tournaments===
The rules for the upcoming '''Pokémon Video Game Championships 2011''' have been announced. As with the first tournaments of [[Generation III]] and [[Generation IV]], only Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by Unova Pokédex number|Unova Pokédex]] may be used. The tournament will continue to use the double battle format. All unreleased items, attacks, and abilities are also banned.

===In the games===
====Pokémon Black and White====
{{main|Triple battle}}
{{main|Rotational battle}}
{{main|Miracle Shooter}}
In Pokémon Black and White, two new forms of battle were introduced: the [[triple battle]] and the [[rotational battle]].

In triple battles, three Pokémon are sent out at a time. Unlike double battles, placement plays an important part in the battle, as the Pokémon on the far sides of the field cannot attack the Pokémon on the opposite side. The Pokémon in the center can attack any other Pokémon, but is also vulnerable to all other Pokémon. As with double battles, certain attacks can hit any Pokémon on the field. A Pokémon may switch positions, but at the cost of a turn.

Rotation battles also feature three Pokémon at a time; however, only one Pokémon may attack at a time. Rotating does not cost a turn, nor reset volatile status effects or counters for abilities such as {{a|Slow Start}}.

The Miracle Shooter is exclusive to multiplayer battles. After performing certain actions, players earn points. Somewhat like in the [[Battle Castle]], these points may be used to buy and use items in battle.

=====Global Battle Union=====
The Generation V games features a mode called "Random Matchup" at the [[Pokemon Center#Generation V|Global Battle Union]], whereby players may face random opponents over Wi-Fi without Friend Codes. Any type of battle may be selected.

In addition, the move {{m|Freefall}} is also banned due to [[Freefall glitch|a glitch]].

==Unofficial Rule Variants==
[[File:Online Clauses.png|thumb|right|200px|A selectable list of clauses for [[Pokémon Online]]]]

Pokémon players have also created their own rule variants. These rules are frequently used in unofficial '''competitive play''' in order to minimize the luck involved in battles and to maintain balance.

===Clauses===
In addition to the sleep, freeze, self-KO, species, and event clauses, the following two clauses are frequently used in competitive play:
*'''Evasion Clause''': The moves {{m|Double Team}} and {{m|Minimize}} are banned. In some tournaments, the abilities {{a|Sand Veil}} and {{a|Snow Cloak}} cannot be used with {{weather|sandstorm}} or {{weather|hail}} respectively.
*'''OHKO Clause''': The one-hit KO moves {{m|Fissure}}, {{m|Horn Drill}}, {{m|Guillotine}}, and {{m|Sheer Cold}} are banned.

Other clauses have also been enforced:
*'''Hax Item Clause''': Items that rely on chance, such as [[BrightPowder]], [[Lax Incense]], [[Focus Band]], [[Scope Lens]], [[King's Rock]], and [[Quick Claw]] are banned. This clause is a "soft ban", and is usually ignored.
*'''Hidden Power Clause''': The move {{m|Hidden Power}} is banned, as the chances of legitimately obtaining a Pokémon with high [[Individual Values]] and an ideal Hidden Power are extremely low. Alternatively, the move {{m|Hidden Power}} may only be banned on legendary Pokémon. Like the hax item clause, this clause is rarely enforced.
*'''Sleep Trapping Clause''': In [[Generation II]] competitive play, [[List of moves that cause sleep|sleep-inducing moves]] cannot be used in conjunction with moves that trap the opposing Pokémon, such as {{m|Mean Look}}.

===Tiers===
{{main|Tiers}}
In competitive play, Pokémon are divided into tiers. A Pokémon's tier placing depends on several factors, including its [[base stats]], [[type]], and movepool.

Tiers also serve as banlists. Battles take place according to tier, with all Pokémon in a higher tier banned. In the most common metagame, the '''Standard''' or '''Overused''' metagame, all Pokémon in the Uber tier are banned. In the '''Underused''' metagame, all Pokémon in the Borderline or higher tiers are banned.

In certain countries, such as France and Mexico, players are only allowed to use one Pokémon out of a select group of Pokémon. This group of Pokémon is usually limited to [[legendary Pokémon]] or [[pseudo-legendary]] Pokémon.

==Welcome==
Welcome to [[Bulbapedia]], {{BASEPAGENAME}}!

As a new user, you may wish to learn a few things that will be useful in your editing:
*For a basic overview of wiki code, see [[Help:Editing|this page]].
*The {{bp|manual of style}} is very important. Make sure to read it. It outlines all official policies of Bulbapedia.
*Keep an eye on the {{bp|Messages from the Editor}} on the main page, to stay informed on current events on Bulbapedia.
*The word [[Pokémon]] is spelled with a capital '''P''' and an accented '''é'''. The é can be accessed by holding Alt and typing either '''130''' or '''0233''' on a Windows computer, and by using Option + e, then e again on a Mac. Otherwise, you can easily click it in the character palette below the editbox.
*The word [[Poké Ball]] is spelled as two words. The "Poké" part is identical to the four beginning letters in "Pokémon"; "Ball" is spelled with a capital '''B'''. The spelling "Pokéball" arises frequently, but is incorrect.
*The word "you" and all forms of it should not be used on encyclopedic pages unless it is a quote from Pokémon or other media. Bulbapedia is an encyclopedia, not a walkthrough.
*On {{bp|talk page}}s, please {{bp|Signature policy|sign your comments}} with four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>).
*The use of {{cat|link templates}} is official policy. For an explanation on their use, see the page on {{bp|shortlinks}}.
*If you happen to spot a vandal in the [[Special:Recentchanges|recent changes]] that has not been dealt with, please see {{bp|dealing with vandalism|this page}} for how to deal with it.
*A list of pages that are linked to, but have not been created, can be found at [[Special:Wantedpages|this page]]. A list of short articles that may require more information can be found {{cat|stubs|here}}, while a list of articles that need improvement can be found {{cat|articles needing improvement|here}}.
*For a future capture, release, trade, or evolution of a Pokémon belonging to a main character of the {{pkmn|anime}}, please do not create or move the page to reflect your suspicions, even if they are shared by many others. Policy here is to wait until the episode in which the event happens takes place is aired, unless there is substantial evidence for the suspicion (such as [[Brock's Happiny]] being held in his arms).
*Image uploading is done on [[Bulbagarden Archives]], a separate wiki accessible through the toolbox in the sidebar. This is done so that both Bulbapedia and [[Bulbanews]] have access to the images uploaded. To activate your account at the Archives and Bulbanews, please login there using the same username and password you use here on Bulbapedia.
*If you want to make a page about a character you made up, please create it at User:{{PAGENAME}}/(name), not merely (name). Bulbapedia's main namespace is reserved for ''actual, official Pokémon, items, characters, and locations''. Also, please try to make sure that subpages are not categorized by templates used within.
*Having said this, please make sure that you do contribute adequately to the main namespace. Bulbapedia is not MySpace or Facebook.
*A list of the admins that you can contact in case of a problem can be found [[Special:Listusers/sysop|here]].

Thank you, and have a good time editing here! --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 04:59, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

== Sorry dude, ==

The usernamespace has been LOCKED to all regular users  and thus, no one  can edit the user namespace. This is because people  have been using BUlbapedia for a MySpace profile.

::I need a translation of the text on this card: [[a:Image:Top4trainers.jpg]]. I know it is small and very hard to read, but I can turn the rough translation into TCG language, this is the oldest and hardest of the 22 card pages left without articles, and this is the only one not on the Japanese card website. It is from 2002, and it only had four prints in the world, so the image is horrible, but I would appreciate anything you could get me. Thanks!!!

==Trivia==
* As of [[Generation V]], Bachuru is the smallest Pokémon in existence, measuring at only 10cm tall. The {{p|Diglett|smal}}{{p|Natu|lest}} {{p|Azurill|Pok}}{{p|Budew|é}}{{p|Burmy|mon}} {{p|Chingling|previ}}{{p|Shaymin|ously}} were double its height, at 20cm, only eight inches, tall.
**Shaymin is only 20cm in it's Land Forme however.
* No other Pokémon has the same [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|type-combination]] as Bachuru and {{p|Denchura|its evolution}}.

===Origin===
Its Pokedex entry states that it latches onto to larger Pokémon to drain the static electricity off them, so it may be based on a {{wp|tick}}, though its size seems to imply it is based on a {{wp|mite}}. Like its evolution, it is also based on a {{wp|tarantula}}, most likely the {{wp|Brachypelma smithi}}, or a {{wp|jumping spider}}.

====Name origin====

May come from バグ (the English word ''bug''), and チュウ　''chū'', an alternate reading of 虫 ''mushi'', meaning bug.

==Trivia==
* Abagoura and {{p|Purotoga|its pre-evolved form}} are the only two fossil Pokémon to have {{t|Rock}} as their secondary type.

===Origin===
Abagoura appears to draw inspiration from {{wp|Archelon}}. The fact it eats steel beams draws from the fact sea turtles are able to bend metal bars with their jaws.

====Name origin====
Most likely from 暴れる ''abareru'', to trash/act violently and 甲羅 ''kōra'', shell.

==Trivia==
* Roobushin's evolutionary line shares many similarities with {{p|Machamp}}'s evolutionary line. Both of them are {{type|Fighting}} Pokémon whose {{stat|Attack}} is their highest stat, have below average {{stat|Speed}}, have the same gender ratio, have three evolutionary stages, reach their respective final-evolutionary form through [[Trade|trading]] and have the same base stat total.
* Roobushin has the highest {{stat|Attack}} of all {{type2|Fighting}} Pokémon.
* Roobushin cannot learn any [[Special|special]] attacks by [[Level|leveling up]].

===Origin===
{{p|Dokkora}}'s Pokédex entry supports that it and its evolutions are based on {{wp|construction workers}}. Due to its clown nose and buff body, it may have also been based on a {{wp|muscleman}} {{wp|carnie}} from a {{wp|Sideshow|carnival sideshow}}.

====Name origin====
The ushin part of Roobushin's name be from push, referring to how it's pushing cement blocks. It may also be a portmanteau of 老 ''ro'', old and 武人 ''bujin'', warrior or 武神 ''bushin'', warlord.

==Trivia==

===Origin===
Fushide, like its [[species]] states, is based on a {{wp|centipede}}. However, it is more similar in appearance to an arthropod in the {{wp|Oniscidea}} suborder or of the {{wp|Oniscomorpha}} superorder, like a pill bug or a pill millipede, respectively. More specifically, it was most likely based on a green {{wp|Glomeris marginata}} (North American pill millipede).

====Name origin====
The name is most likely a combination of 節 ''fushi'', joint/segment and ムカデ ''mukade'', centipede.

Is anyone sure just how to get Dageki in Pokemon White? I've done my fair share of searching in both Victory Road and outside the forest. I've found Nageki, and a billion Tabunne, but I'm starting to doubt his presence in White.--[[User:Shinbora|Shinbora]] 21:47, 2 October 2010 (UTC)
:They are rare in White just as Nageki are rare in Black. I have Black Version and my Pokédex says that Nageki can be found in the same areas as Dageki. I'm sure it's just the same for Dageki in White. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 21:50, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

== Blue Oni? ==

Should it not be mentioned in the article that Dageki resembles the 'Blue Oni', an archetype in Japanese entertainment? And Nageki, his counterpart, likewise resembles the 'Red Oni' archetype?

[[User:Yuoaman|Yuoaman]] 21:02, 13 November 2010 (UTC)

== Half-brow ==

Dageki missing one "eyebrow" is most likely a reference to Mas Oyama. Can I add it on? --[[User:Kohei|Pizza]][[User talk:Kohei|man]] 23:51, 20 December 2010 (UTC)

I once heard that you're not locked into pursuit with a choice item if the opponent switches out. (after the switch you could selected a different attack).

Anyone know it this is true? [[User:Shiny Lanturn|Shiny Lanturn]] 13:29, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

Not sure if it's in the English versions, but is the Pursuit-Weather bug in Pt and HGSS notable here? --[[User:Kohei|Pizza]][[User talk:Kohei|man]] 10:40, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Spiky-eared Pichu

2009-04-18T23:46:46Z

Kohei: /* Moveset and Ability */ new section

I do wonder. Should we have the page at Gizamimi Pichu, since that's the "official" name used in the calendars and such? '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 20:51, 8 March 2009 (UTC)
:Probably. Is it ever 'officially' called ''Notched-ear Pichu''??? --'''[[User:Theryguy512|Theryguy]][[User Talk:Theryguy512|512]]''' 21:02, 8 March 2009 (UTC)
---This is true but I think it would make the page impossible to find. Most people probably know it as Notched-Ear Pichu as opposed to Gizamimi Pichu. --[[User:The Great Butler|The Great Butler]] 01:21, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
:That's why redirects were created. (I knew they would come to good use sometime!!!) --'''[[User:Theryguy512|Theryguy]][[User Talk:Theryguy512|512]]''' 01:56, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
::True. Perhaps this page should say "Notched-Ear Pichu, known in official materials as Gizamimi Pichu..."? --[[User:The Great Butler|The Great Butler]] 00:33, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

== Voice actor ==

It needs to be Shōko Nakagawa with the accent mark. "Shoko Nakagawa" links to a nonexistant page. --[[User:The Great Butler|The Great Butler]] 01:21, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
:Not any more it doesn't. But still a fix would be nice oh kind admins. — [[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|THE TROM]] — 01:24, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

::: Does Pichu have any other ability I'm not aware of. I find it odd that when an anime Pokemon only has one ability, its not confirmed, I realize that a Pokemon can have 2 abilities, but I don't buy that since it goes along the gender differences. A certain Pokemon had Ability A prior to Generation X. And there's no conflicting information (albeit speculative) that a Pokemon in the anime can't have both abilities, like in Pokemon Mystery Dungeon. --[[User:Dman dustin|Dman dustin]] 02:23, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
::::No, it doesn't have another ability in the games, but why can't the anime give it a different one? A new anime-exclusive one? Why can't the anime say only certain Pokémon have an ability, and others don't? [[User:The Dark Fiddler|The Dark Fiddler]] - [[User talk:The Dark Fiddler|Is teh Pedia laggin 4 u 2?]] 11:01, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

a) Confirm Pichu's ability with a source
b) Remove it. {{unsigned|The Dark Fiddler}} 11:40, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

::::: No the only reason why the event Pichu is shiny is because there's no ear-notched Pichu programmed into the game. It being shiny was the only thing they could've done to make it stand out compared to other Pichu's. Notched Ear Pichu however is still normal. --[[User:Dman dustin|Dman dustin]] 23:48, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

Too lazy to make a new section, but apparently, she is the fixation of the fourth ending. More info's on Bulbanews. [[User:Aura-Knight|Aura-Knight]]
: It was hard to type 4 equal signs? O.o Anyways, we know this, but other than mentioning it, there isn't anything we can do, it's just speculation that Notched-ear will become a part of the main cast until then. [[User:Myzou|Myzou]] 11:24, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
:: Yes. And we need an admin to put that factoid in there, as the page is protected from vandals atm. [[User:Aura-Knight|Aura-Knight]] 15:01, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

Instead of calling him Notched-ear Pichu,
Just call him by his Japanese name: Gizamimi Pichu.

:::Because we wouldn't call [[Barry|Jun]] "Barry" until [[DP101]] was released even though it was beyond obvious. Are we so sure about Gizamimi's official title 3 months before even the Japanese movie is released?

'''{{tt|Takeshi's|Brock's}} Paradise''' (Japanese: '''タケシのパラダイス''' ) is the tenth ending theme song of the Japanese [[Pokémon anime]].

It debuted in [[EP157]], replacing ポケモンはらはらリレー ''[[Exciting Pokémon Relay]]'', and was replaced by
ポケモンはらはら²リレー ''[[Exciting² Pokémon Relay]]'' in [[EP163]].

Since the ending debuted, it has been used as part of a running gag in the anime. Often, Brock will be left to entertain a crowd. It starts well but he will continue singing this song over and over again because "it's the only song I know". At various times, he has received some help in this from [[Brock's Ludicolo|his Lombre]] or {{tp|Ash|Corphish}}.

=Ending animation=
==Synopsis==
The animation starts with a pair of [[Poké Ball]]s falling in front of bright patterns. In mid-bounce, it cuts to a pair of [[wp:maraca|maracas]] with Poké Ball designs held in front of clouds and being shaken by Brock. It then cuts to a larger shot of him wearing a purple and red outfit with pink frilled sleeves and a [[wp:sombrero|sombrero]]; he is dancing with the maracas in front of a [[wp:cactus|cactii]] and Diglett pattern. It cuts to a full shot of him dancing on a beach with a pair of Exeggutor. During this whole first segment, all the backgrounds retain a unique woven fabric texture.

It then shifts to the delivery of the line, ''"O-ne-e-sa-n!"'' For each syllable of the word, Brock strikes a pose in front of a solid-colored background, except for the last syllable where he squirms as if with giddy joy.

Brock is next seen standing in his original clothes, next to a floating image with a cut-out appearance of Officer Jenny with a Growlithe. He smiles at it, then turns and starts to drift after it with hearts for eyes, but it fades and he returns to the ground, sad. Behind him, a second image appears in the same style, this one of Nurse Joy with her Chansey. He notices it, and leaps joyfully towards it with hearts for eyes again. Soon, hearts in a rainbow of colors start to fall all around.

It cuts to a pile of these hearts, which Pikachu and Vulpix dig themselves out of, then shifts to the top of the pile where Brock is sitting waist-deep in these hearts, giddy and giving a lovestruck swoon; beside him, Psyduck attempts to eat one of the hearts.

The focus returns to a heart-eyed Brock swooning over another cut-out, this one of Daisy, Violet and Lily with their Seel. He jumps with his arms spread wide, but when he tries to embrace the image, it disappears and he crashes to the ground; Pineco and Pikachu sigh in response. He floats after a cut-out of the Nurse Joy from the [[Orange Islands]] with a Slowpoke, but it turns into a giant Magikarp and knocks him away; Togepi and Vulpix laugh at this. He continues to jump after these images, but they disappear before he can grab them every time: first Officer Jenny, then Nurse Joy, then one which floats in front of the camera, never showing the image on the other side, but turns sideways and vanishes to show Brock leaping towards the camera where it was, then trying to stop and falling foward.

It switches back to backgrounds in the style of the start of the ending, this time with red tropical flowers and Brock's hands moving in a hula motion. It cuts again to a larger image, showing Brock wearing a [[wp:lei (Hawaii)|lei]] and doing the [[wp:hula|hula]] in front of a [[wp:pineapple|pineapple]] background. The full image is again Brock dancing on the beach, doing the hula in a grass skirt as a quartet of Oddish hop from foot to foot around him.

He delivers the line, ''"O-ne-e-sa-n!"'' again, and this time each syllable shows women: Officer Jenny, Nurse Joy, [[Misty]]'s sisters, the Orange Islands Joy, and then as a joke a Jynx who winks and blows a {{m|Lovely Kiss}}. It cuts to a small shot of an unhappy Brock getting a large hug and a sloppy kiss on the cheek from the Jynx, and finishes with a picture of him in the first outfit in the maracas surrounded by the shape of a heart.

==English==
No full, official English translation of Takeshi's Paradise has been released. However, in several episodes of the English dub, Brock sings a translated segment of the song. This translation varies between episodes.

[[Two Perfect Girls]] is somewhat similar to this song, except it only focuses on [[Officer Jenny]] and [[Nurse Joy]].

=Trivia=
* In ''[[EP043|March of the Exeggutor Squad]]'', Brock is seen wearing a white outfit with pink frills on the sleeves and cuffs of the pants and holding a pair of maracas. Due to similarities between the two, these clothes may have been inspiration for the trademark outfit Brock wears in the Takeshi's Paradise ending.
* A brief reference is made to Takeshi's Paradise in the PopUp.Version of ''[[By Your Side ~Hikari's Theme~]]'', where a still picture is seen of Brock wearing the outfit he uses for the song and dancing with his [[Brock's Croagunk|Croagunk]] and [[Brock's Sudowoodo|Sudowoodo]]. In updated versions of the ending, after Brock wins an [[Pokémon egg|egg]], he takes a seat in the image and Croagunk is the one dancing instead, complete with Brock's hat, mustache, and maracas.
* This ending was taken off air in 6 weeks, after receiving complaints from various PTA bodies around Japan.
==Errors==
*In the ending's animation, [[Misty|Misty's]] sisters, [[Daisy (anime)|Daisy]], [[Violet]] and [[Lily (Kanto)|Lily]], are seen with a {{p|Seel}}, which is presumably supposed to be the one at the [[Cerulean Gym]]. However, the Cerulean Gym's Seel evolved into a {{p|Dewgong}} in [[EP061]], a whole 96 episodes before the debut of the ending. (There are, on the other hand, alternate explanations for this. For example, it could be a different Seel: in the later episode [[H005]], a different Seel is seen at the Gym. Also, considering the animation is entirely Brock's fantasy, it is possible that he either forgot about the evolution or chose Seel over Dewgong because of his own preference. However, from the most literal view of the ending, it appears to be an oversight by the animators.)

'''Lt. Surge''' (Japanese: '''マチス''' ''Machisu'') is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Vermilion City]]'s {{pkmn|Gym}}, known officially as the [[Vermilion Gym]]. He hands out the {{Badge|Thunder}} to {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat him. He specializes in {{type2|Electric}} [[Pokémon]].

==In the anime==
[[Image:surgeface.jpg|left|thumb|175px|Lt. Surge in the anime]]
Lt. Surge made his only anime appearance in ''[[EP014|Electric Shock Showdown]]'', and in flashback appearances focused on [[Ash's Pikachu]]. His Japanese voice actor is ''[[Fumihiko Tachiki]]'' and his English voice actress is [[Maddie Blaustein]].

Lt. Surge is an extremely large and muscular man, and seems to be the show's tallest human character. He is arrogant, loud, and crude, and refers to all trainers as "babies" until they manage to defeat him. Lt. Surge generally looks down on unevolved Pokémon, preferring to evolve them as soon as possible.

His {{p|Raichu}} shares many of his personality traits, also appearing to be rather tough.
Lt. Surge's fatal weakness was that he evolved his Pokémon too quickly without taking the time to teach them the proper attacks. Even though he managed to defeat {{Ash}} and his {{AP|Pikachu}} once with pure power, Pikachu was able to use speed-altering moves like {{m|Agility}} to get the best of Raichu.

In the anime, the [[Vermilion Gym]] appears to be a warehouse decorated with stylized lighting bolts.

==In the games==
[[Image:Sugimorisurgeoriginal.png|thumb|Art of Lt. Surge from Pokémon Red and Blue]]
Lt. Surge is known as ''The Lightning American''. Apparently, he is or was an American soldier who fought in at least one war, during which Electric-type Pokémon saved his life. In the Army, Surge was a strict CO, and was rather cautious. He was a pilot as well, and used Electric-type Pokémon to power his planes. Also, Surge saved the life of one of the trainers in his gym who was in the Army at the same time.

A little paranoid, Lt. Surge installed a series of traps in the gym. He takes a liking to trainers with a lot of guts.

In addition to the Thunder Badge, Lt. Surge gives out {{TM|24|Thunderbolt}}, in [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Pokémon Red, Blue]], [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Green]], and [[Pokémon Yellow Version|Yellow]]. In [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed and LeafGreen]], he gives out {{TM|34|Shock Wave}}. In [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions|Pokémon Gold, Silver]], and [[Pokémon Crystal Version|Crystal]], he doesn't give out a [[TM]].

==In the Pokémon Special manga==
[[Image:Lt_Surge.PNG|right|frame|Lt. Surge]]
[[Image:Surgemanga.jpg|thumb|Lt. Surge in Pokémon Special]]

Lt. Surge is one of the evil leaders of [[Team Rocket]]. In his debut round, ''[[PS010|Danger: High Voltorb]]'', he used the [[S.S. Anne]] in Vermilion City to transport captured Pokémon illegally. He tried to kill {{Special|Red}}, but was bested after Red's {{p|Poliwhirl}} evolved into {{p|Poliwrath}}.

Lt. Surge captured {{p|Zapdos}} at the [[Power Plant]] under [[Giovanni]]'s orders. However, he, along with the rest of Team Rocket, was dispersed when the [[Zapmolcuno|chimera]] made from the [[Legendary Pokémon]] was defeated by Red, {{Special|Blue}}, and {{Special|Green}} in [[Saffron City]].

Some time later, the [[Elite Four]] tried to destroy humanity. Team Rocket joined up with the trainers from [[Pallet Town]] to stop them. During the battle against the [[Elite Four]] on [[Cerise Island]], Lt. Surge was paired with {{Special|Red}} according to [[Sabrina]]'s [[Spoons of Destiny]]. However, with Red absent due to injuries, Lt. Surge picked [[Bill]] as his partner instead.

In [[Johto]], Lt. Surge went to [[Mahogany Town]] to investigate the rise of Team Rocket under a different leader. He confronted the [[Mask of Ice]], but lost and barely managed to escape with his life.

The manga version of Lt. Surge prefers to travel by sea, as he is a sailor. He can also fly through the air by having three of his {{p|Magneton}} create an energy platform for him to ride on.

In battle, Lt. Surge generally prefers to use his {{p|Electabuzz}} to zap anything that gets in his way. He also uses other Electric-type Pokémon to provide distractions with {{m|Selfdestruct}}.

==Trivia==
[[Image:surgegym.jpg|right|thumb|180px|Lt. Surge's incredible height]]
* His Japanese Leader title is {{tt|エレクトリックアメリカンジムリーダー|Electric American Gym Leader}}.
* He uses several English phrases such as "God damn" in the Japanese anime.
* His image in the anime is vastly different than in his Sugimori artwork. For example, in his artwork, he looks like an average, clean-cut soldier. In the anime, he is extremely muscular and very rough-looking, unlike a soldier. He is also incredibly tall in the anime, as opposed to everywhere else where he is of average height.
* Although he's called "The Lighting American" in the anime, Lt. Surge talks with a somewhat Australian accent.
* Due to his team in [[Pokémon Yellow Version|Pokémon Yellow]] consisting solely of a {{p|Raichu}} (to mimic the anime), he is the only Gym Leader to only have one Pokémon when fought in the games.

'''Wattson''' (Japanese: '''テッセン''' ''Tessen'') is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Mauville City]]'s [[Gym]], known officially as the [[Mauville Gym]]. {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat him receive the {{Badge|Dynamo}}. He is a jolly old man who specializes in {{type2|Electric}} [[Pokémon]].

==In the anime==
[[Image:WattsonAnime.jpg|frame|left|Wattson in the anime]]
Wattson first appeared in ''[[AG040|Watt's with Wattson?]]''. He filled his [[Gym]] in [[Mauville City]] with lots of traps, pit-falls, roller coasters, and other tricks and pranks, much like [[Lt. Surge]] in [[Vermilion City]]. Wattson believed his gadgetry was not only hilarious, but kept trainers on their toes.

One of Wattson's tricks was a robotic {{p|Raikou}} that ended up super-charging the electricity in {{AP|Pikachu}}. As a result, {{Ash}}'s Pikachu was able to completely wipe out Wattson's team on it's own, using a series of super-powerful {{m|Thunderbolt}}s.

Losing so easily really depressed the usually cheerful Gym Leader. Wattson left everyone a note saying that he went away to think. Uncharacteristically glum, he wandered off to the local power plant and met a friendly {{p|Electrike}}.

Afterwards [[Team Rocket]] stole all the Electric-type Pokémon from the power plant, and Wattson, Ash, [[Brock]], [[Max]], and {{an|May}} pursued them.

Wattson used the Raikou robot to stop them in their tracks, while Pikachu and Electrike used {{m|Iron Tail}} and {{m|Bite}} to free the wild Pokémon. Ash tried to return the Dynamo Badge, but Wattson told him to keep it. Electrike decided to stay with Wattson.

Wattson again appeared in ''[[AG059|Manectric Charge]]''. He saved most of the group's Pokémon from another Team Rocket kidnapping attempt. The battle caused Electrike to [[evolution|evolve]] into {{p|Manectric}}. They were on their way back to [[Petalburg City]], but Ash and his friends took time out for a battle.

[[Ash's Torkoal]] fought against Wattson's Manectric in a fierce battle but Torkoal lost.

His English voice actor is [[Dan Green]] and his Japanese voice actor is ''Ken'ichi Ogata''.

==In the games==
Wattson's title is "The cheerfully electrifying man!" The citizens of Mauville think of him as "eccentric", and one of his students affectionately referred to him as a "tough coot". His prefers to employ Electric-type Pokémon, and is a generally jovial man.

Wattson founded Mauville; he once had a desire to convert Mauville in an expansion project, but he abandoned that plan. Instead, he installed switch-controlled dynamos in his Gym that create doors of electricity.

In addition to the Dynamo Badge, Wattson gives out {{TM|34|Shock Wave}}, in {{3v2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}.

If the player returns to Mauville after getting {{m|Surf}}, Wattson will ask him or her to go to [[New Mauville]] on an errand for him. If the player completes the task, Wattson will give {{TM|24|Thunderbolt}}, as a sign of his appreciation.

==In the Pokémon Special manga==
[[Image:Wattson.PNG|right|frame|Wattson]]
Wattson is the cheerful [[Gym Leader]] of [[Mauville City|Mauville]], who enjoys cracking jokes that are having puns on people's names. His motto was "Be cheerful, no matter when or where". He doesn't care when or where the battles take place, every challenge to him qualifies as a gym battle. He doesn't even care about the result, and would often give out badges as long as his challengers do their best. Because of this attitude, {{Special|Sapphire}} was very annoyed with him.

When Sapphire first met the elderly gym leader, he and the Trick Master was trying to locate a rampaging {{p|Donphan}} with tricks developed by the latter. But they had mistaken Sapphire as the Donphan and trapped her and her Pokémon with the tricks. Sapphire inquired whether the turning door on the ground was also part of their traps. But it was actually the secret entrance to [[New Mauville]], the secret underground city Wattson and Trick Master had been looking for a long time.

Mauville had been having the problem of land shortage and overcrowding because of the growing number of children in the city. As both Wattson and Trick Master cherish children a lot, they hope they can find this secret city for them. Later, Sapphire saved Wattson from an overcharged generator and got the New Mauville, which is a large amusement park, into operation. Thankful for her help, Wattson gave her the [[Badge#Dynamo Badge|Dynamo Badge]].

After being informed about [[Team Magma]] and [[Team Aqua|Team Aqua's]] schemes, he sided with Team Magma because of his city's problem of land shortage. When the two ancient Pokémon were awakened, he was assigned to fight against {{p|Kyogre}}, and later [[Aqua Admin Amber|Amber]], one of the [[SSS|Aqua Admins]]. He was knocked into the sea after being attacked from behind by a {{p|Shedinja}}, but Sapphire's {{p|Wailord}} saved his life. He was left on the [[Pokémon Association|Pokémon Association's]] aircraft as he was too injured to continue fighting.

==Quotes==
''"I've given up on my plans to convert the city, I have. And so, I put my time into making door traps in my Gym. Oh? Now, what are you doing here? What's that? You say you've gotten past all my rigged doors? Wahahahah! Now, that is amusing! Then, I, Wattson, the Leader of Mauville Gym, shall electrify you!"''

''"Wahahahah! Fine, I lost! You ended up giving me a thrill! Take this Badge!"''

"''I swell with optimism, seeing a promising young Trainer like you!"''

Before and after the first rematch:

"''Ah-ha! Here at last! I know what you want. You want to battle my Pokémon! Wahahahaha! I'll make sparks fly from you! Don't say I didn't warn you!''"

"''Oof... Our batteries ran dry...''"

"''We'll have to recharge our batteries again. When we're fully charged up, we'll gladly accept your challenge. So, come back again sometime, won't you?''"
=== Trainer's Eyes ===
'''Strategy''' -
I choose to electrify

'''Trainer's Pokémon''' -
Get shocked by electricity!

'''Self-Introduction''' -
Wahahahaha! The secret to health is laughter!

==Trivia==
*His Japanese Leader title is {{tt|笑ウエレクトリックマン|Laughing Electric Man}}.
*Like [[Lt. Surge]] is in [[Kanto]], Wattson is the third [[Gym Leader]] encountered on a journey through [[Hoenn]], and is similarly enamored with trap doors and {{type2|Electric}} Pokémon.
*Wattson's {{p|Magneton}} in the games is quite underleveled, as Magneton must evolve from Magnemite at Lv. 30, and although Magneton can be caught at a level less than 30 in New Mauville, it cannot be caught as low as Level 23.

'''Wattson''' (Japanese: '''テッセン''' ''Tessen'') is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Mauville City]]'s [[Gym]], known officially as the [[Mauville Gym]]. {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat him receive the {{Badge|Dynamo}}. He is a jolly old man who specializes in {{type2|Electric}} [[Pokémon]].

==In the anime==
[[Image:WattsonAnime.jpg|frame|left|Wattson in the anime]]
Wattson first appeared in ''[[AG040|Watt's with Wattson?]]''. He filled his [[Gym]] in [[Mauville City]] with lots of traps, pit-falls, roller coasters, and other tricks and pranks, much like [[Lt. Surge]] in [[Vermilion City]]. Wattson believed his gadgetry was not only hilarious, but kept trainers on their toes.

One of Wattson's tricks was a robotic {{p|Raikou}} that ended up super-charging the electricity in {{AP|Pikachu}}. As a result, {{Ash}}'s Pikachu was able to completely wipe out Wattson's team on it's own, using a series of super-powerful {{m|Thunderbolt}}s.

Losing so easily really depressed the usually cheerful Gym Leader. Wattson left everyone a note saying that he went away to think. Uncharacteristically glum, he wandered off to the local power plant and met a friendly {{p|Electrike}}.

Afterwards [[Team Rocket]] stole all the Electric-type Pokémon from the power plant, and Wattson, Ash, [[Brock]], [[Max]], and {{an|May}} pursued them.

Wattson used the Raikou robot to stop them in their tracks, while Pikachu and Electrike used {{m|Iron Tail}} and {{m|Bite}} to free the wild Pokémon. Ash tried to return the Dynamo Badge, but Wattson told him to keep it. Electrike decided to stay with Wattson.

Wattson again appeared in ''[[AG059|Manectric Charge]]''. He saved most of the group's Pokémon from another Team Rocket kidnapping attempt. The battle caused Electrike to [[evolution|evolve]] into {{p|Manectric}}. They were on their way back to [[Petalburg City]], but Ash and his friends took time out for a battle.

[[Ash's Torkoal]] fought against Wattson's Manectric in a fierce battle but Torkoal lost.

His English voice actor is [[Dan Green]] and his Japanese voice actor is ''Ken'ichi Ogata''.

|}

==In the games==
Wattson's title is "The cheerfully electrifying man!" The citizens of Mauville think of him as "eccentric", and one of his students affectionately referred to him as a "tough coot". His prefers to employ Electric-type Pokémon, and is a generally jovial man.

Wattson founded Mauville; he once had a desire to convert Mauville in an expansion project, but he abandoned that plan. Instead, he installed switch-controlled dynamos in his Gym that create doors of electricity.

In addition to the Dynamo Badge, Wattson gives out {{TM|34|Shock Wave}}, in {{3v2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}.

If the player returns to Mauville after getting {{m|Surf}}, Wattson will ask him or her to go to [[New Mauville]] on an errand for him. If the player completes the task, Wattson will give {{TM|24|Thunderbolt}}, as a sign of his appreciation.

When the two ancient Pokémon were awakened, he was assigned to fight against {{p|Kyogre}}, and later [[Aqua Admin Amber|Amber]], one of the [[SSS|Aqua Admins]]. He was knocked into the sea after being attacked from behind by a {{p|Shedinja}}, but Sapphire's {{p|Wailord}} saved his life. He was left on the [[Pokémon Association|Pokémon Association's]] aircraft as he was too injured to continue fighting.

==Quotes==
''"I've given up on my plans to convert the city, I have. And so, I put my time into making door traps in my Gym. Oh? Now, what are you doing here? What's that? You say you've gotten past all my rigged doors? Wahahahah! Now, that is amusing! Then, I, Wattson, the Leader of Mauville Gym, shall electrify you!"''

''"Wahahahah! Fine, I lost! You ended up giving me a thrill! Take this Badge!"''

"''I swell with optimism, seeing a promising young Trainer like you!"''

Before and after the first rematch:

"''Ah-ha! Here at last! I know what you want. You want to battle my Pokémon! Wahahahaha! I'll make sparks fly from you! Don't say I didn't warn you!''"

"''Oof... Our batteries ran dry...''"

"''We'll have to recharge our batteries again. When we're fully charged up, we'll gladly accept your challenge. So, come back again sometime, won't you?''"
=== Trainer's Eyes ===
'''Strategy''' -
I choose to electrify

'''Trainer's Pokémon''' -
Get shocked by electricity!

'''Self-Introduction''' -
Wahahahaha! The secret to health is laughter!

==Trivia==
*His Japanese Leader title is {{tt|笑ウエレクトリックマン|Laughing Electric Man}}.
*Like [[Lt. Surge]] is in [[Kanto]], Wattson is the third [[Gym Leader]] encountered on a journey through [[Hoenn]], and is similarly enamored with trap doors and {{type2|Electric}} Pokémon.
*Wattson's {{p|Magneton}} in the games is quite underleveled, as Magneton must evolve from Magnemite at Lv. 30, and although Magneton can be caught at a level less than 30 in New Mauville, it cannot be caught as low as Level 23.

'''Flannery''' (Japanese: '''アスナ''' ''Asuna'') is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Lavaridge Town]]'s hot springs [[Gym]], known officially as the [[Lavaridge Gym]]. She specializes in {{type2|Fire}} [[Pokémon]] and gives out the {{Badge|Heat}} to {{pkmn|trainer}}s who defeat her.

==In the anime==
[[Image:FlanneryAnime.jpg|thumb|left|Flannery in the anime]]

Flannery first appeared in ''[[AG055|Poetry Commotion!]]''. She is voiced by 夏樹リオ ''Rio Natsuki'' in Japanese, [[Lisa Ortiz]] in the English dub and [[Luciana Baroli]] in the Brazilian Portuguese dub.

In the {{pkmn|anime}}, {{Ash}} and his company saw a {{p|Slugma}} running from a girl with blazing red-hair. They found out that she is none other than the new [[Lavaridge Town]] [[Gym Leader]], Flannery, who had been training with her Slugma. They are secretly helped by fake workers, who are actually [[Jessie]] and [[James]] of [[Team Rocket]], an old man and a judge who is actually Flannery's grandfather. Flannery's grandfather saved the day when Team Rocket attempt to steal Flannery's {{p|Torkoal}}. In the resulting Team Rocket battle, one of her Slugma evolved into a {{p|Magcargo}}.

In ''[[AG056|Going, Going, Yawn]]'', Ash had his Lavaridge Gym battle. In the battle, he used his {{AP|Corphish}}, {{AP|Pikachu}} and [[Ash's Sceptile|Treecko]]. Despite Corphish being hit by a {{m|Yawn}} from Flannery's Slugma, Ash managed to defeat Torkoal and win the {{Badge|Heat}}.

These are the Pokémon Flannery owns in the {{pkmn|anime}}.

|}

==In the games==
[[Image:GBA Trainer Flannery.png|thumb|128px|Flannery's battle sprite on the [[Gameboy Advance]].]]
Her passion for Pokémon burns stronger and hotter than a volcano. She is admired for her beauty and strength. She's only been Gym Leader for a short time, and she tries to act intimidating but can't quite get it right. After she loses to the main character, she realized that she was trying too hard to be someone that she wasn't and had to run things her own way.

Her grandfather was once a member of the Hoenn Elite Four. She has apparently battled with Norman sometime in the past.

In addition to the Heat Badge, Flannery gives out {{TM|50|Overheat}}, in {{3v2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}.

==In the Pokémon Special manga==
[[Image:Flannery.PNG|right|frame|Flannery]]
In the Pokémon Special, Flannery tried to protect [[Mt. Chimney]] from having its flames doused by Team Aqua. However, even with the help of {{Special|Sapphire}}, she was unable to prevent the water-worshiping team from causing the volcano to become dormant.

During the battle, she was also assisted by [[Tabitha]] of [[Team Magma]]. The two seemed to be attracted to each other. Later, when all the Hoenn Gym Leaders chose sides, Flannery aligned herself with Team Magma. The destruction later caused by {{p|Kyogre}} and {{p|Groudon}} changed her mind.

Flannery is also apparently close friends with [[Winona]].

==Quotes==
''"Welcome... No, wait. Puny Trainer, how good to see you've made it there! I have been entrusted with the... No, wait. I am Flannery, and I'm the Gym Leader here! Uh... Dare not underestimate me, though I have been Leader only a short time! With skills inherited from my grandfather, I shall, uh...demonstrate the hot moves we have honed on this land!"''

''"Oh... I guess I was trying too hard... I... I've only recently become a Gym Leader. I tried too hard to be someone I'm not. I have to do things my natural way. If I don't, my Pokémon will be confused. Thanks for teaching me that. For that, you deserve this."''

''"Your power reminds me of someone... Oh! I know! You battle like Norman, the Gym Leader of Petalburg."''
=== Trainer's Eyes ===
'''Strategy''' -
Battle aggressively.

'''Trainer's Pokémon''' -
Burn with passion!

'''Self-Introduction''' -
Wash away daily fatigue in hot springs completely!

==Trivia==
*Her Japanese Leader title is {{tt|温泉町のファイヤー娘|Hot Spring Fire Girl}}, and her Japanese name is an anagram for the American word 'sauna', being a reference to her gym, being filled with sand pits and steam.
*Flannery's grandfather is named [[Mr. Moore]]. Due to that her last name may or may not be Moore.
*Flannery is the only gym leader to have nicknamed her Pokémon in the anime, much like how [[Wallace]] nicknamed his in {{g|Special}}.

'''Brock''' (Japanese: '''タケシ''' ''Takeshi'') is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Pewter City]]'s {{pkmn|Gym}}, known officially as the [[Pewter Gym]]. He hands out the {{Badge|Boulder}} to {{pkmn|trainer}}s who defeat him. He specializes in training {{type2|Rock}} Pokémon.

==In the anime==
[[Image:BrockOriginal.png|thumb|left|Brock in the original series.]]
In the {{pkmn|anime}}, Brock is a [[Pokémon Breeder]] who is a {{ashfr|close friend}} and traveling companion of {{Ash}}. His Japanese voice actor is うえだゆうじ ''[[Yūji Ueda]]'', his English voice actors are [[Eric Stuart]] ({{4Kids}} dub) and [[Bill Rogers]] ({{PUSA}} dub), his Brazilian voice actor is [[Alfredo Rollo]], and his Latin-American voice actor is ''Gabriel Gama'' ([[EP005]]-[[DP020]]), ''Arturo Mercado'' (Movies 4 and 5) and ''Alan Prieto'' ([[DP021]]-present). Some notes on official sketches of his character set his age at 15 at the start of the series.

He originally trained {{type2|Rock}} [[Pokémon]], but has, since [[EP006|the second episode he appeared in]], diversified. He is an experienced cook and caretaker by nature, so he always makes scrumptious food both [[Pokémon food|for Pokémon]] and for humans. One of his best known character traits is that he falls in love with every pretty woman he meets, particularly [[Officer Jenny]] and [[Nurse Joy]]. He has always held a supporting role in the series, usually contributing more in terms of wisdom and comedic antics than the action and {{pkmn|battle}}s of the series.

Early on, he showed that he carries around a {{badge|Boulder}} for identification. He also has a [[Contest Pass]] for the [[Kanto]] region, though he only used it once, as well as one for [[Hoenn]] which was required to watch a contest there. He should still have a [[Poké Ball#Generation II Poké Balls|Heavy Ball]], given to him by [[Kurt]] [[EP144|back in Johto]], but this has apparently been forgotten.

Brock has had two notable musical appearances. One is the Japanese ending theme タケシのパラダイス ''[[Takeshi's Paradise]]'', which is about his love for women and his determination to find love despite often appearing foolish and getting heartbroken. There is a running joke about him singing this song often in the anime, since it's the only song he knows. The other is the [[Pokémon Karaokémon]] song ''[[Two Perfect Girls]]'', which is about his love of both Officer Jenny and Nurse Joy.

===Appearance===
[[Image:TakeshiAG.png|thumb|right|Brock in the Advanced Generation series]]
Brock's most notable feature about his appearance is that his eyes naturally appear closed. The rare times we see them open are when they are forced open unnaturally: from a hit with {{AP|Charmander}}'s {{m|Flamethrower}} in ''[[EP032|The Ninja Poké-Showdown]]'', when being hit in the back of the head by {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}}'s tail in ''[[EP050|Who Gets to Keep Togepi?]]'', and when he makes a face for {{AP|Larvitar}} in ''[[EP260|A Crowning Achievement]]''.

He also has tan skin, notably darker than the skin of any other major character in the series.

Brock is the tallest of {{ashfr|main charecters}}, and the closest to looking like an adult. Next to actual adult characters, however, it is clear that he is still a teenager.

Not counting temporary outfits, he has worn [[List of clothing in the anime#Brock|three different outfits]] over the span of the anime, all of which have had the colors orange, green, and brown in them.

===Character===
[[Image:Brock's eyes.JPG|thumb|left|180px|Brock with his eyes open.]]
Brock is considered the most mature, wise and level-headed of the main characters, and he is arguably the most intelligent character as well. He often acts as an older brother and caretaker to the other characters and a voice of reason in disputes. He will usually place others before him and will help and support his friends even against his better judgment or at his own expense. While he is not shown to battle often, he can understand the situations and strategies in any [[Pokémon battle]], and often explains them to the other characters, probably due to the fact that he was once a [[Gym Leader]]. His wisdom is possibly derived from how observant he is; he can tell just by sight how a Pokémon is feeling and spot the differences between the various [[Officer Jenny]] and [[Nurse Joy]].

Brock always carries books and maps with him, and thus is usually the character who knows where the group is headed and what they can do when they get there, though in [[Advanced Generation series|Advanced Generation]] this role was mostly taken over by the [[PokéNav]]. He also carries a lot of other supplies, such as [[potion]]s and cookware, as well as practical tools like a brush and pocket knife; in ''[[EP009|The School of Hard Knocks]]'', the extent of his preparedness and comically large capacity of his [[bag]] was demonstrated, as he pulled out a table and full tea set out of his backpack. He is a domestic, and grooms not only his Pokémon but also those of his friends with whom he travels. He handles all the cooking and cleaning for his friends.

Despite this, all his maturity and rationality leaves him completely at the sight of a beautiful woman, as he falls in love with every pretty girl he meets. Brock has a desperate need for female companionship which grows worse as he fails to gain it. He will do anything and everything he thinks will impress women, which inevitably ends with his heart being broken every time. A few women have shown interest in him as well, such as [[Wilhemina]], [[Temacu]], [[Pike Queen Lucy|Lucy]] and [[Holly]], but most do not notice him or are not interested. No matter how many times he is disappointed, though, Brock remains determined to find a girl to start a relationship with, and has indicated several times he would stop traveling with Ash and stay with the girl if this happened. This behavior tends to wear on the nerves of other characters, and [[Misty]] and [[Max]] have both commonly dragged Brock away from women by his ear. Some of Brock's own Pokémon, most notably {{TP|Brock|Croagunk}}, have attacked him for getting too flirtatious with women.

His goals have played a passive role in his character's activity and development. Unlike other characters, who aspire to achieve and excel in competitive fields like [[Training|Pokémon Training]] and [[Pokémon Contest]]s, his aim to become a great Pokémon Breeder is a quiet one and thus does not get showcased frequently. His other goal, to find a girlfriend, is similar to [[Team Rocket]]'s quest to capture {{AP|Pikachu}} in that both are for comedy and thus doomed to fail. His role has always been purely one as support for other main characters, though some fans find this disappointing and want him to take a more active role in the series.

===History===
[[Image:TakeshiDP.png|left|thumb|Brock in the Diamond and Pearl series]]
Not much is known about his early childhood, except that his first Pokémon was his {{TP|Brock|Onix}}, which he received as a gift at the age of 10. Sometime after, his father, {{an|Flint}}, left home to become a great {{pkmn|Trainer}}. When he never returned, his mother, [[Lola]], left them as well, leaving Brock to take care of {{Brocksib|his siblings}}, as well as their house and [[Pewter Gym]], by himself (though the English version of ''[[EP005|Showdown in Pewter City]]'' has Flint claim she died, and some speculate he was lying). However, Flint eventually returned home considering himself a failure, and instead of returning to his family he donned a disguise and sold rocks as souvenirs at the edge of town. After Brock awarded Ash the Boulder Badge, Flint came forward and confessed who he was. Flint took on the responsibilities of the Pewter Gym and his family, leaving Brock free to journey with Ash and [[Misty]].

Brock only became the Gym Leader because he felt it was his responsibility, and he admitted to Ash that he would rather care for Pokémon than battle them. It is his dream to become a great breeder, and when Flint took back control of the Gym, Brock was allowed to start following this dream. Most notably, he took care of a {{TP|Brock|Vulpix}} that belonged to a breeder named [[Suzy]]. Shortly before Vulpix was returned, Brock used it in a [[Pokémon Beauty Contest]].

Brock was also able to meet and make advances towards the many beautiful women he met. At first, he was more casual about approaching women, such as the [[Officer Jenny]] in [[Cerulean City]], and more modest as well, such as when he met [[Melanie]]. However, he became more open and passionate towards almost all single young women as time progressed.

Brock briefly left the show during the [[Pokémon: The Adventures in the Orange Islands|Orange Islands saga]] to work for [[Professor Ivy]] on [[Valencia Island]] and so is only seen in a couple of cameos in the [[Pokémon 2000|second movie]]. While there, something happened that will probably remain secret as Brock will only huddle and say "that name" whenever he is asked about it. (Brock does mention his work for her in ''[[Destiny Deoxys]]'', though this line was added in the dub.) After this incident, Brock returned to Kanto where he was found by [[Delia Ketchum]], who helped him to regain his strength. Brock then became a rival to [[Mimey]] until he rejoined Ash and Misty as the three traveled to [[Johto]]. They stayed together for the entire region, but at the end of this journey, the three went their separate ways, with Brock's help requested at home by his father.

Upon his return home, Brock was dismayed to find that his mother had returned and commandeered the gym, turning the Rock-type haven into a brightly decorated {{type2|Water}} den. Brock battled her for the honor of Rock-types and won, promising his brother [[Forrest]] that he would become Gym Leader someday.

After that, Brock returned to follow Ash through [[Hoenn]], along with their new friends {{an|May}} and [[Max]], and then through Kanto again as Ash took on the [[Battle Frontier]]. He left extremely briefly when the Advanced Generation dissolved to visit his home, and is now traveling with Ash and {{an|Dawn}} in [[Sinnoh]].

Brock is among the longest-lived main characters in the anime, only being absent from the Orange Islands season and thus ranked under only the permanent characters of {{Ash}}, {{AP|Pikachu}}, [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}}. Because of this, some fans believe he is too worn-out as a character and should be removed from the cast. Others believe he has established himself as a permanent character of the main cast, and do not see him being removed from the cast any time in the near future.

==In the games==
[[Image:Sugimoribrockoriginal.png|thumb|Art of Brock from {{game|Red and Blue|s}}]]
Brock's title is "The Rock-Solid Pokémon Trainer". Brock is quite proud of his rock-hard willpower, and uses Rock-type Pokémon to complement this.

Brock is one of the few truly serious professional Pokémon trainers in the Pewter City area. He's tough, people respect him, and most admire him. Supposedly, it's hard to get him to laugh or drop his serious demeanor, but when he does, he can't stop.

Brock likes to dig for [[fossil]]s in [[Mt. Moon]], which is possibly how he ended up getting a {{p|Kabutops}} and {{p|Omastar}} in [[Generation II]].

In each game, there is only one other trainer in his gym: a [[Camper]], whose name is Jerry in [[Generation II]] and Liam in [[Generation III]]. This trainer usually isn't devoted to the Rock-type, and may use pure {{type2|Ground}} Pokémon like {{p|Sandshrew}} and {{p|Diglett}}.

In addition to the Boulder Badge, Brock gives out [[TM34]] for {{m|Bide}} in the [[Generation I]] {{pkmn|games}}. In their [[Generation III]] remakes, he gives out [[TM39]] for {{m|Rock Tomb}} instead. In [[Generation II]], he doesn't give out a [[TM]]. In both the Generation I games and their Generation III remakes, one Trainer will not allow for trainers to pass onto {{rt|3}} until they have defeated Brock. Instead, when trainers try to leave, he will lead them all the way back to the Pewter Gym.

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Special manga===
[[Image:Brock.PNG|right|frame|Brock]]
Brock debuts in ''[[PS005|Onix is On!]]'' of the [[Red, Green & Blue chapter (Special)|Red, Green & Blue]] chapter, however he is mentioned by {{Special|Green}} in ''[[PS004|Wanted: Pikachu!]]''. To access to Brock a trainer must win several rounds of battles against special trainers of the Gym, every single one of those battles are watched by him from a special room. In this round Brock is a shirtless Gym Leader who has for main Pokémon an Onix and for secondary a Graveler and a Geodude.

Brock is a brave trainer and he assists [[Erika]] and [[Misty]] in their {{pkmn|battle}}s against [[Team Rocket]]. He also gave {{Special|Yellow}} a {{p|Graveler}}.

Brock works as a security guard at the [[Pewter Museum of Science]].

===In the Electric Tale of Pikachu manga===
Since the [[Electric Tale of Pikachu]] is based heavily on the {{pkmn|anime}}, Brock's appearances in it are mostly comparable to his anime appearances. However, he is not constantly traveling with Ash in the manga.

In [[DP01-04|Haunting My Dreams]], there are hints about him being [[MangaShipping|in a relationship]] with [[Sabrina]].

==In the TCG==
There is a [[Theme Deck]] named for Brock in the {{TCG|Gym Heroes}} expansion. It has two versions,{{TCG|Brock|English}} and [[Brock (TCG - Japan)|Japanese]].

==In the TFG==
{{TFG ID|Next Quest|Brock|39}} appears as a rare trainer figure in the launch set, {{TFG|Next Quest}}, of the [[Pokémon Trading Figure Game]].

==Trivia==
*Most official sources do not give Brock a last name. However, several sources suggest that in the anime, his last name is Harrison. In the July 2006 issue of {{wp|K-Zone}} Magazine, [[Eric Stuart]] was interviewed and stated that Brock's last name is '''Harrison'''.
*Brock has the most airtime out of all of Ash's companions, being present in every season except for the [[Orange Archipelago]] saga.
*In the anime, Brock's house is located directly behind the Pewter Gym. His room is only seen briefly in ''[[AG034|Having a Wailord of a Time]]'', but what is seen of it shows that it is decorated in a traditional Japanese style, including {{wp|fusuma}}, a {{wp|tansu}} chest, and a {{wp|futon}} for a bed.
*Brock owns two {{type2|Poison}} Pokémon, {{TP|Brock|Crobat}} and {{TP|Brock|Croagunk}}, whose names both start with ''Cro-''.
*Until the capture of Bonsly and the evolution of Onix, Brock had owned an equal amount of {{type2|Rock}} and {{type2|Water}} Pokémon. This is ironic considering that he was against having a joint Rock/Water type gym in ''[[H001|A Family That Battles Together, Stays Together!]]''
*Brock is currently the only main character of the anime with {{type2|Steel}} Pokémon, owning two, {{TP|Brock|Steelix}} and {{TP|Brock|Forretress}}. If [[Dawn's Piplup]] reaches its final form, however, this will no longer be the case, as {{p|Empoleon}} is {{2t|Water|Steel}}.
*Brock is the fourth main character to own a Pokémon hatched from an egg. The first, of course, was [[Misty]] with {{TP|Misty|Togepi}} and later {{TP|Misty|Azurill}}, the second was {{Ash}} with {{TP|Ash|Phanpy}}, and the third was {{an|May}} with {{TP|May|Eevee}}.
*Brock is one of three of Ash's friends who has had their father make an appearance in the anime. The others are {{an|May}} and [[Max]], who are brother and sister. Coincidentally, both fathers are Gym Leaders.
*Brock captured a new Pokémon sooner after his debut than any other main character, even Ash, by capturing [[Brock's Crobat|Zubat]] in [[EP006]]. Comparatively:
**Ash made his first capture in [[EP003]] (debut [[EP001]] - 2 episodes)
**Dawn made her first capture in [[DP009]] (debut [[DP001]] - 8 episodes)
**May made her first capture in [[AG014]] (debut [[AG001]] - 13 episodes)
**Tracey made his first capture in [[EP097]] (debut [[EP084]] - 13 episodes)
**Misty made her first capture in [[EP019]] (debut [[EP001]] - 18 episodes)
*Brock's Advanced Generation and Diamond & Pearl stock art (both of which are seen in the anime section of this article) use the same pose, changing only his outfit.
*Brock has been shown to be able to identify when women are really crossdressing men in disguise by having a peculiar lack of attraction to them. A significant exception to this is Ash, who in the guise of [[Ashley]] was able to slip through Brock's radar by being disguised as a woman younger than he would be attracted to.
*Brock has owned four Pokémon [[List of Pokémon with cross-generational evolutions|whose evolutions debuted in a different generation]] than that Pokémon. ({{p|Golbat}}, {{p|Onix}}, {{p|Bonsly}}, and {{p|Happiny}}). Of the four, three of them have evolved so far.
*When the [[Advanced Generation series]] started, Brock brought only his {{TP|Brock|Forretress}} with him. Forretress is not in the [[Hoenn Dex]].
*Despite starting out as a Rock-type Gym Leader, of all the Pokémon Brock currently owns, only two are of the Rock-type, {{TP|Brock|Geodude}} and {{TP|Brock|Sudowoodo}}. Currently, only one of them is [[party|with him]], the other being back in [[Pewter City]].
*Brock is the only one out of all of Ash's friends to have owned at least one Pokémon from each of the four generations.
*Brock is the only one out of all of Ash's friends to have won his first major competition [[EP169|of his position]].
*Brock is shown to have 6 different Pokémon in the video games before he owns them in the anime.
**Geodude, from RBY versions (Debut in team in [[EP005]])
**Onix, from RBY versions (Debut in team in [[EP005]], evolves before [[AG176]])
**Golbat, from [[Pokémon Stadium (English)|Pokémon Stadium]] (Debut in team in [[EP165]], evolves in [[EP196]])
**Steelix, from [[Pokémon Stadium 2]] (Debut in team in [[AG176]])
**Forretress, from [[Pokémon Stadium 2]] (Debut in team in [[EP259]])
*Brock is the only current anime protagonist whose team is replicable in Diamond or Pearl before beating the game.
===Interview with Hidaka about Brock's short absence from the anime===
There had been some debate between members of the fanbase in regards to why Brock was removed from the main cast during the Orange Islands arc, why [[Tracey Sketchit]] was created, and why Brock returned later. In a [http://www.pokebeach.com/news/0708/second-pokemon-interview-with-masamitsu-hidaka-many-interesting-points recent interview] with former Pokémon anime director and storyboard artist [[Masamitsu Hidaka]], he stated his own reason why Brock was removed from the cast and why he eventually returned. He (or, rather his translator) revealed that the true reason they replaced Brock is because, once they realized Pokémon was going global, there was a chance that Americans, if not anyone else outside of Japan, would view Brock as a racist stereotype because of his eyes (even though there wasn't an actual complaint yet). So they created a "tall, anglo-saxon looking person to be on the safe side". They later replaced Tracey with Brock again once they realized that no one really cared as to what Brock looks like, and actually enjoyed his character.

However, this was only stated by Hidaka and not by any other staff member.

'''Byron''' (Japanese: '''トウガン''' ''Tougan'') is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Canalave City]]'s [[Gym]], known officially as the [[Canalave Gym]]. He hands out the [[Mine Badge]] to [[Pokémon trainer|trainers]] who defeat him. He specializes in {{type2|Steel}} [[Pokémon]]. He is [[Roark]]'s father.

==In the anime==

===Pokémon===

==In the games==
Byron uses {{type2|Steel}} Pokémon in his battles. Trainers who defeat him will receive the [[Mine Badge]], {{TM|91|Flash Cannon}}, and will be able to use {{m|Strength}} outside of battle. Byron asked [[Riley]] to become a Gym Leader, but Riley declined because he thought Byron's son Roark should be considered first. Byron isn't surprised to find his inexperienced son lost to the protagonist, but is enthusiastic about the next generation of Pokémon trainers. Byron resolves to train harder at [[Iron Island]] to compete with younger trainers.

He apparently owns the normally deserted cabin on Iron Island. After the Elite Four, he can be found there. Speaking to him results in him chiding himself for still treating Roark like a child, then he'll give the player a [[Metal Coat]] and leave.

'''Candice''' (Japanese: '''スズナ''' ''Suzuna'') is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Snowpoint City]]'s [[Gym]], known officially as the [[Snowpoint Gym]]. She hands out the [[Icicle Badge]] to [[Pokémon Trainer|Trainers]] who defeat her. She specializes in {{type2|Ice}} [[Pokémon]].

==In the anime==
Candice has not yet appeared. 

==In the games==
Candice uses {{type2|Ice}} Pokémon in her battles. Trainers who defeat her will receive the [[Icicle Badge]], {{TM|72|Avalanche}}, and will be able to use {{m|Rock Climb}} outside of battle. Candice teaches that before battling with Pokémon, a person needs to befriend them first. Candice has an interest in fashion and romance as well as Pokémon, and believes a person should put all their focus into whatever they do. She sometimes muses that she acts the opposite of the way people would expect a Ice-type Gym Leader to behave - warm and friendly instead of [[Pryce|cold and distant]].

She later allows the player entry into the [[Snowpoint Temple]].

===Quotes===
Before battle 
''"You want to challenge Candice? Sure thing! I was waiting for someone tough! But I should tell you, I'm tough because I know how to focus. Pokémon, fashion, romance... It's all about focus! I'll show you just what I mean. Get ready to lose!"''

When sending out last Pokémon 
''"I'm going to break the ice and bring out my last-resort Pokémon!"''

During battle 
''"I can sense your will to win, but I promise you I'm not about to lose!"''

When defeated 
''"I must say, I've warmed up to you! I might even admire you a little."''

After being defeated 
''"Wow! you are great! You've earned my respect! I think your focus and will bowled us over totally. Oh, that's right! I'm supposed to give you this!"''

When player attempts to access Snowpoint Temple 
''"It's OK! You can let that person in. Cynthia sent word to me. You're working on a Pokédex, aren't you? There should be many rare Pokémon in the temple. Enjoy your exploring!"''

* Candice used these Pokémon to awaken {{p|Regigigas}}, which [[Hareta]] later captured.

==Trivia==
*Even though Candice lives in the snowy north of Sinnoh, the only protection she seemingly has from the weather is the sweater tied around her waist and her long socks. Like Dawn, she seems not to mind wearing a skirt in the cold weather.
*Candice is the only Ice-type specialist that doesn't use the type combination of {{2t|Water|Ice}} or Ice/Water.
*In {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, Candice is the only one of [[Sinnoh]]'s big 13 trainers (the [[Gym Leader]]s, [[Elite Four]], and [[Champion]]), to use two Pokémon within the same evolutionary line on her team (Snover and Abomasnow). This is no longer true for {{game|Platinum}}.
*All of Candice's Diamond and Pearl team are Pokémon that have [[gender differences]].

::I'm really wary of this. If there is a so-called Platinum, it wouldn't be a GS remake; did the RB remake come as one game? No, it was two. It wouldn't make sense, either, as DPv3, due to its name.

so its got giratina in 'origin' and 'another' forms, but only 'another' appeared in d/p. i guess this means that platinum will have to send a data patch when trading an origin form from platinum to d/p. right?

::::::The [[Berry Glitch]] was a data-patch trade, so to speak. I seemed to remember that in gen 3 there was a patch that was transferred by trading, i may have made a mistake. But surely when D/P connects to Platinum, Platinum will detect the following:
::::::* whether its connected to D/P or PL (platinum shortening)
::::::* if its D/P, whether said D/P has the patch or not
::::::and then send or not send the patch accordingly. '''[[:User:Origamiguy|OrigamiGuy]]-[[:User_talk:Origamiguy|Talk]]-[[:Special:Contributions/Origamiguy|Contribs]]''' 16:15, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

If You can get Origin form in D/P you might be able to get it over wifi whenthis game is released. [[User:Darkmaster0]]

:Hey everyone, ain't it obvious? Giratina will ONLY be available as Origine Form in Platinum and when traded back to D/P its stats will be recalculated and its sprite will change to Another Form, much like Deoxys in [[Generation III|previous games]]. Also there ARE patches transfered through trades, or have you forgotten already? what about the national dex in R/S? it is unobtainble until you trade with FR/LG or Emerald that has it already. '''[[User:Hfc2x|hfc]][[User talk:Hfc2x|2X]]''' 19:37, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

No, Emerald too. But I ''think'' it has to be a non-Hoenn 'Dex Pokemon.--[[User:Goukazaru|Nostalgia]] 14:35, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
:::nopes, after you get the national dex in emerald, any trade you do with R/S will give you the national dex in that game. '''[[User:Hfc2x|hfc]][[User talk:Hfc2x|2X]]''' 23:34, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

No ,your forgeting that Giratina only changes into origin forme when its in the [[Torn World]] and since theres no Torn World in DP Giratina will only be in another forme.
From [[user:ultamatecharizard]].

:The new Platinum Orb can keep it in Origin Forme outside the Torn World. Connecting the game to WiFi or to D/P, etc. disables the Orb and reverts Giratina back to its Another Forme. ~[[User:SaturnYoshi|'''$aturn''']][[User:SaturnYoshi|'''¥oshi''']] [[User talk:SaturnYoshi|THE VOICES]] 18:29, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

== Battle screenshot ==

I don't think the battle screen is actually updated. Looking at it, it seems to me like the HP bar and stuff are still sliding into space. Lucas doesn't have any Poké Balls by his head yet, and the background's still doing something weird, so I think it's still transitioning into the battle. --[[User:Martonimos|Martonimos]][[User talk:Martonimos|((Talk))]] 06:12, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

http://www.pokemonplatinum.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/poketch1.jpg The new Pokétch

And I've found a translation of the Japanese Pokémon Platinum site- Here's the story:

Pokémon Diamond centered around Dialga, the ruler of time; Pearl centered around Palkia, the ruler of space. In this installment, Giratina is the star. A mysterious portal has opened atop Sinnoh’s Mt. Coronet, serving as the entrance to the Ruined World, an alternate dimension warping time and space. A story of “epic proportions” unfolds with Sinnoh in center stage!

And this:

The boy and girl trainers have gotten new outfits in response to Sinnoh’s colder weather, caused by the disturbance. They are sporting new Pokétchs, too. The rival will help out the protagonists as well in this installment.

== More Info Regarding Platinum ==

From another [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uj_wQlKxCbo Pokémon Sunday video] about Platinum, I found out that there will me moving platforms in the Torn World. The outlying platforms you can jump on have gaps, that act a lot like the ledges in ordinary routes. I also watched the part of the video when the hosts of Pokémon Sunday were making Poffins. You have to keep spinning Swalot, and the one who gives him the most berries wins.

I have found a new source [http://pokemon.kids.yahoo.co.jp/platinum/library/ on this page]. It has some battle information and some new battle sprites. I think it also describes some wifi differences. I don't speak or read Japanese so I can't really tell.-- [[User:23-03-33]] 17:27, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

== And the sprites ==

Since we now know for sure that the Platinum sprites are different for all Pokémon... or at least Sinnoh ones...

Well, what will we do about the animation? Will we do it as we did Emerald? Will we make the DP sprites animate? This sounds... possibly... to be a perfect time to ready support for animated .pngs. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 02:29, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

:::The information originates from a merchandise advertisement; the item in question is associated with Platinum in its branding, but to go as far as to conclude that the collectible Pokémon therein represent the Sinnoh Pokédex critters, is quite a stretch.

:::An addition of 59 monsters would be quite noteworthy, and yet all of the game advertisements have only shown the same Pokémon from the original Sinnoh Pokédex (unless in the context of the Battle Frontier and Wi-Fi). Why, for instance, would they have bothered to showcase Magmortar and Electivire in a Wi-Fi battle, when they could have just shown them being used by Volkner and Flint?

Well not really. First you get to Spear Pillar. Cyrus summons both Dialga and Palkia. Then Giratina jumps into the dimension, and opens up a portal to the Torn World. You catch Giratina in the Torn World. After you beat the E4 go back and you will see this blue energy thing, talk to it and you will battle Dialga at Lv. 70, then after that leave then come back and there will be the same thing however its pink and on the opposite side. This one is Palkia at Lv. 70. Then go to Turnback Cave and there will be a portal to the Torn World, however at a different spot. There you will find the Platinum Orb which will keep Giratina in its Origin Forme outside of the torn world. Hope that helps.

Kohei:

[[Image:BebeArt.PNG|frame|right|'''Bebe''', in artwork from the TCG]]'''Bebe''' (Japanese: '''ミズキ''' ''Mizuki'') is a computer technician who lives in [[Hearthome City]] in [[Sinnoh]]. It was she who developed Sinnoh's [[Pokémon storage system]] based on the previous designs of [[Bill]] and [[Lanette]]. Her house, which is next to the [[Pokémon Center]] in Hearthome, is not quite as cluttered as Lanette's.

After the player gets the [[National Dex]], she will give {{ga|Lucas|him}} or {{ga|Dawn|her}} a [[level]] 5 {{p|Eevee}}. This Eevee came from a [[Bill|good mate in Johto]] before being passed onto the player. In {{game|Platinum}}, the Eevee is available right away at level 25, without the need of the National Dex.

She appears in the [[Trading Card Game]] on the "{{TCG ID|Mysterious Treasures|Bebe's Search|109}}" Supporter card from the {{TCG|Mysterious Treasures}} and {{TCG|Secret Wonders}} expansions, which allows the player to search for any Pokémon card in exchange for one of the cards in their hand.

== Trivia ==
*Bebe giving the main character an {{p|Eevee}} is a reference to [[Bill]], as he gave the main character an Eevee in [[Generation II]].
*In the card {{TCG ID|Mysterious Treasures|Bebe's Search|109}} from the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]], Bebe appears to have a {{p|Glameow}}.
*In [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl]] Bebe shares the same sprite with the [[Battle Girl]] trainer class.
* In the Japanese versions, Bebe speaks in Kansai Dialect, akin to [[Bill]].
