Talk:Pallet Town

2009-05-16T23:56:48Z

Mario Man:

== Pokemon Pinball ==

In the first Pinball game Bulbasaur, Charmander, Pidgey, Rattata, Nidoran (Male), Poliwag and Tentacool can be caught in Pallet Town, in the Red Zone, I believe this should be in the article, but I don't know where. Any suggestions, or is it to petty? --[[User:Spriteit|Spriteit]] 13:23, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
:Perhaps in the trivia. It is more of a main game article. Maybe on another page, like, say the {{g|Pinball}} page itself.--[[User:Clarky13|'''Clarky''']][[User talk:Clarky13|'''13''']] 13:28, 6 March 2009 (UTC)

== Sign ==

In FR/LG, sign says "Shades of your journey await!" In G/S/C however, it says, "A Tranquil Setting of Peace & Purity." Which should we use? [[User:Ht14|''ht'']][[User talk:Ht14|''14'']] 22:07, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
:I say "Shades of your journey await!" It refers to present-day Pallet, not 3 years later or whatever. [[User:PH1RESTRIKE| |3urn ]][[Special:contributions/PH1RESTRIKE|•]][[User talk:PH1RESTRIKE|57R1K3]] 22:26, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
::Ok, that's pushing it. Your theory suggests that G/S/C and D/P/Pt takes place in the future... [[User:Ht14|''ht'']][[User talk:Ht14|''14'']] 22:28, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
:::Well, apparently, GSC does. DPPt has nothing to do with Pallet. [[User:PH1RESTRIKE| |3urn ]][[Special:contributions/PH1RESTRIKE|•]][[User talk:PH1RESTRIKE|57R1K3]] 22:31, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
::::I'll agree with that (about the D/P/Pt thing), but that still doesn't answer my initial question: which sign should we use? [[User:Ht14|''ht'']][[User talk:Ht14|''14'']] 22:33, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
:::::Um, both? At the moment, though, we lack a GSC sign template, so until someone makes one let's just go with the FRLG. It is possible to have two signs though. — [[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|THE TROM]] — 23:18, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

==Labels?==
Hey I was wondering if we could place labels on the maps. That way if some new person who came here for maps would be able to know where certan buildings other than pokémon centers and marts and gyms. [[User:Mario Man|Mario Man]]

===How you can help===
You can help by opening the [[List of cities and towns by name]] and selecting any location in red (which means that there is no article for it yet) and starting that article, or opening any location that you can provide more information about. Additionally, the list itself needs expanding.

Most of the existing city/town articles need to be modified to comply with the project standard (see below). You can check [[:Category:City and town stubs]] to see which articles need expanding.

{{Bulbapedia:Project Cities and Towns/To-do list}}

===Structure===
====Infobox information====
Articles should use the [[Template:Infobox town|Infobox town template]], and all known info should be supplied. An example is demonstrated [[Bulbapedia:Project Cities and Towns#Infobox|here]].

====Main section====
Untitled section that describes the area. Depending on the area, this section may just describe where it is located in the Pokémon world and basic details regarding the area, or may go into considerable detail. Regardless, most text describing the location should be in this section.

====Places of interest====
Any notable locations in the area should be mentioned and briefly described here. If the location has its own article, a link to that article should be given.

====Poké Mart====
'''Only for areas with a Poké Mart'''

A list of items available at the local Poké Mart with prices should be provided, using the [[Template:Mart|Poké Mart template]].

====Pokémon====
'''Only for areas with wild Pokémon within its limits'''

A list of attainable Pokémon in the city. See [[Route 1]] for an example of how the layout should appear. Game corner Pokémon should not be listed here.

====In the anime====
'''Optional'''

Section for noting differences or other items regarding the area in the anime.

====Notes====
'''Optional'''

Place any notes about the area that are worth noting but are not notable enough for inclusion in the main section.

====References====
Place all references here.

====External links====
Place all external links which are not references here.

====Categories====
All articles should use the following category:
*<nowiki>[[Category:(Region) locations]]</nowiki> where (Region) is either [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], [[Hoenn]], [[Sevii Islands|Sevii]], or [[Sinnoh]]

All articles should use the following categories where applicable:
*<nowiki>[[Category:Red, Blue and Yellow locations]]</nowiki>
*<nowiki>[[Category:Gold, Silver and Crystal locations]]</nowiki>
*<nowiki>[[Category:Ruby and Sapphire locations]]</nowiki>
*<nowiki>[[Category:Emerald locations]]</nowiki>
*<nowiki>[[Category:FireRed and LeafGreen locations]]</nowiki>
*<nowiki>[[Category:Diamond and Pearl locations]]</nowiki>
*<nowiki>[[Category:Towns]]</nowiki> ''for towns''
*<nowiki>[[Category:Cities]]</nowiki> ''for cities''

===List===
The list page for Project Routes is [[List of cities and towns by name]].

===Infobox===

Talk:Baton Pass (move)

2009-05-14T20:14:12Z

Mario Man: /* New Pic */

Hi, i'm a new user here. Does this move pass along Skill Swapped abilities? --[[User:Bin-conb|Bin-conb]] 13:14, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure it doesn't, altough let me check real quick. [[User:Midnight Celtic|Midnight]][[User talk:Midnight Celtic|Celtic]] 13:18, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
:Okay, I'm now 99% sure it doesn't, but only 10 Pokémon can learn the combo, excluding Mew and Smeargle. So I'm not entirely certain that it'd be worth anything useful [[User:Midnight Celtic|Midnight]][[User talk:Midnight Celtic|Celtic]] 13:26, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
::Double battles would up the usefulness. I'm also pretty sure it doesn't, though stat changes that result from abilities might count. --[[User:Fabu-Vinny|FabuVinny]] |[[User talk:Fabu-Vinny|Talk Page]]| 15:08, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

If Defense Curl was used and Baton Passed, will Rollout/Ice Ball be powered up? [[User:Skipperxc|Skipperxc]] 21:31, 14 January 2009 (UTC)
:If Defense Curl is used ''anywhere'' in battle, the aforementioned moves will be powered up.--[[Flash Fire (ability)|freezing]][[Heat Wave (move)|COLD]] ([[user:Cold|page]], [[User talk:Cold|talk]]) 21:33, 14 January 2009 (UTC)
::Even if Defense Curl is used by an opponent or a partner? — [[User:Laoris|Laoris]] ([[User_Talk:Laoris|Blah]]) 21:41, 14 January 2009 (UTC)
:::I guess...On [[Rollout (move)]], [[Ice Ball (move)]], and [[Defense Curl (move)]], it simply says "in the same battle."--[[Flash Fire (ability)|freezing]][[Heat Wave (move)|COLD]] ([[user:Cold|page]], [[User talk:Cold|talk]]) 21:43, 14 January 2009 (UTC)
::::"in the same battle" refers to a the Pokémon that's using Rollout or what-have-you, I'm quite certain. Rollout on an opponent who used Defense Curl shouldn't have any boosts, and same goes for partners.
::::As for Baton Passing the Defense Curl, I'm 50/50 on that... depends if Baton Pass passes ''everything'' (past moves, etc), or just the stat boosts and effects. It'll probably require a test-fire to see what happens. --[[user:Jioruji_Derako| '''J'''ïörüjï '''Ð'''ērākō.'''>''']][[user talk:Jioruji Derako|''.cнаt'''''^''']] 00:05, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

Hi, i'm a new user here. Does this move pass along Skill Swapped abilities? --[[User:Bin-conb|Bin-conb]] 13:14, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

'''Palkia''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''パルキア''' ''Palkia'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Dragon}} [[legendary Pokémon]].

It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.

Palkia is the version mascot of [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|Pokémon Pearl]], appearing on the boxart.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Palkia looks dinosaur-like, similar to Dialga, though it seems to be based off of a therapod. Despite possessing wings and the ability to fly on its own, it is not able to learn the [[move]] {{m|fly}} through [[HM02]] or any other means. It has plates on its shoulder area, where two pink pearls lie encrusted. Palkia has a long neck and a powerful tail.

====Gender differences====
Palkia is a genderless species.

====Special abilities====
Palkia has the ability to warp space. An example of this was shown in [[Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia]], in which Palkia was able to shuffle the landscape of [[Almia]] around at a whim, allowing doors to connect to places miles away and for large forests to fit inside tiny houses. In the Pearl version of the game, it is mentioned on the statue in [[Eterna City]] that it can create alternate realities.

Palkia's skills in battle are mostly the same as Dialga's, except that Palkia can learn a handful of {{type2|Water}} moves. Palkia is also slightly faster than Dialga and has weaker defensive stats. Palkia is one of the rare species that knows the move [[Aura Sphere]].

Palkia's powers can be amplified with the {{DL|Type-enhancing item|Lustrous Orb}}.

In {{g|Mystery Dungeon 2}}, Palkia travels by creating a large yellow sphere from its two pearls, then using it to fly very fast.

Palkia is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that learns {{m|Spacial Rend}} (apart from an event {{p|Darkrai}} released for the tenth movie in Japan, another released in US, an event {{p|Arceus}} released for the twelfth movie in Japan, and {{p|Smeargle}} who can {{m|Sketch}} it).

===Behavior===
Like Dialga, Palkia lives in a different dimension, making its behavior nearly impossible to study. However, Palkia has been seen in violent conflicts with {{p|Dialga}}.

===Habitat===
Legends say that it lives "in a gap in the spatial dimension parallel to ours."

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:Palkia anime.png|right|250px|thumb|{{an|Palkia}} in the anime]]
{{an|Palkia}} makes an appearance in ''[[The Rise of Darkrai]]'' along with {{an|Dialga}} and {{an|Darkrai}}, in which it fights with Dialga and nearly destroys [[Alamos Town]].

In ''[[Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'', it did not have a main role, but appeared in a flashback to its battle with Dialga from the previous movie.

Finally, in ''[[Arceus: To a Conquering Spacetime]]'', Palkia, alongside {{an|Dialga}} and {{an|Giratina}}, start a battle which awakens an [[Arceus (Pokémon)|ancient power.]]

A silhouette of Palkia appeared in ''[[DP033|All Dressed up with Somewhere to Go]]''.

Palkia's statue appears with its silhouette in ''[[DP036|A Secret Sphere of Influence!]]''.

Palkia's statue also appeared in [[DP110]] and [[DP111]].

Palkia also makes a cameo in the ''[[Together]]'' and ''{{so|Diamond and Pearl}}'' openings.

==In the manga==

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

==Other appearances==
===Super Smash Bros. Brawl===
[[Image:SSBBSpearPillarPalkia.png|right|thumb|Palkia on {{St|Spear Pillar}}]]
Palkia occasionally appears on the {{St|Spear Pillar}} stage as one of three Pokémon that controls it. It only appears on the stage when the ground on the upper levels have a purple tinge to them. Unlike Dialga and {{p|Cresselia}}, it'll use its powers to distort the stage however possible. Some examples include tilting the stage, turning the stage completely upside down and reversing the screen itself (the last two will cause the movement controls to be reversed temporarily). It often shoot beams in the cave below, dealing a lot of damage to the players that get caught in the blast.

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
* {{g|Mystery Dungeon 2}}: Palkia accuses the player and its partner that they are the one responsible for the distortion of fabric of space. Later, Palkia confronts them and bring them to [[Spacial Rift]].
* [[Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia]]: Palkia appears as a bonus boss during one of the Ranger Net extra missions. Palkia was injured from a battle with Dialga and entered [[Hippowdon Temple]]. In its pain, it warped the space of the Almia region and caused all of the locations of Almia to be shuffled together.

==Trivia==
* Palkia's US name was revealed, along with Dialga's, on 20th January 2006.
* Palkia's [[footprint]] is the shape of a crown. The other two members of the dragon trio, {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Giratina}}, also have crown-shaped footprints.
* Palkia and {{p|Kingdra}} are the only two Pokémon that are dual-type {{t|Water}}/{{t|Dragon}}.
** Due to this, Palkia is the only member of the [[dragon trio]] that does not have a unique type combination.
* In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2]], Palkia, along with {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Regigigas}}, all speak in capital letters, unlike the other Pokémon in the game.
* Palkia, along with Dialga and {{p|Phione}}, has the second highest [[catch rate]] after {{p|Shaymin}} out of all the legendary Pokémon, with a catch rate of 30.
* Although Palkia is genderless in the main games, it is referred to as a male in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2]].
* Palkia and {{p|Dialga}} are the first legendary Pokémon to be met at a level that is not divisible by 5, appearing at Level 47.
**This only applies to {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, due to the fact that in {{g|Platinum}}, they are both encountered at level 70.
* Palkia is in the highest [[IQ]] group. It takes this position in IQ group J and is the only Pokémon in IQ group J.

===Origin===
Palkia is likely based after a European {{wp|dragon}} with a {{wp|pearl}}. Like {{p|Dialga}}'s origin possibly from the largest sauropod dinosaur, {{wp|Amphicoelias}}, Palkia may be based on another sauropod, the bipedal {{wp|Plateosaurus}}.
====Name origin====
The ''Pal (Paru)'' in its name is derived from the Japanese word for pearl, パール ''pāru''.
