MasterKenobi: /* TM00 */

Why's it blue? [[User:Ht14|''ht'']][[User talk:Ht14|''14'']] 03:05, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
:Likely because I used the same colorscheme for the {{template|BerryPrevNext}} template because the {{template|BerryInfobox}} was the same, and it was hard to make a new colorscheme for TMs so the colors stuck. Or maybe because SP252 was too busy with the coding to change the colors. '''~ overgrown[[User:Sol|s]][[User_talk:Sol|o]][[Special:Contributions/Sol|l]]''' 03:10, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

==Blurb==

We’ve reached the spectacular conclusion to the Kalos League, with Alain and Ash battling to the very end! Alain’s Charizard is making a huge impact on the battle, including knocking out Ash’s exhausted Pikachu. Can Ash make the right moves with his remaining Pokémon to win, or will Alain claim the title of Champion?

==Plot==
Having finally reached the [[Lumiose Conference]] finals, {{Ash}} is now facing [[Alain]], who has proven to be an extremely powerful {{pkmn|Trainer}} to battle against. With the remaining Pokémon being three-to-two in Ash's favor, {{AP|Pikachu}} is now facing Alain's ace: {{TP|Alain|Charizard}}. Pikachu attacks Charizard with a {{m|Thunderbolt}}, but the {{pkmn|category|Flame Pokémon}} shrugs off the {{DL|Damage|super effective}} hit as if it was nothing. Ash commands a {{m|Quick Attack}}, but Pikachu's previous battle against Alain's {{p|Metagross}} is starting to show its effect, causing the Electric Mouse to fall on his knee. A {{m|Flamethrower}} from Charizard lands a clean hit on Pikachu, who barely has any strength left to continue. Charizard takes flight and launches another Flamethrower, but Ash, using a tactic learned from [[Clemont's Bunnelby]], has Pikachu use {{m|Iron Tail}} on the ground, creating a cloud of dirt to block the incoming {{type|Fire}} attack. Alain compliments Ash's strategy before ordering a {{m|Dragon Claw}}, which Pikachu counters with an Iron Tail. The two moves clash, but the impact is too much for the weakened Pikachu, who finally [[Fainting|faints]], leaving both sides with two Pokémon remaining.

Back at the stands, [[Malva]] is commentating on the events taking place at the stadium, but her cameramen, {{TRT}}, are hardly paying any attention on her, instead complaining about Pikachu losing. [[James]], whom [[Jessie]] and {{MTR}} had glared at for rooting for their [[Twerp|enemy]] [[XY130|earlier]], is glad to see his fellow team members cheering for Ash too, as none of them is wanting to see their longtime enemy lose to a guy like Alain. In the crowd, [[Ash's friends]] are discussing about the battle situation. [[Sawyer]] points out that both of Alain's remaining Pokémon have already battled, while Ash's remaining two Pokémon are still at full health, giving him an advantage. {{an|Serena}} agrees to this, seeing the confident smile on Ash's face. At the VIP box, [[Mairin]] is encouraging Alain to do his best.

Ash sends out {{AP|Goodra}} as his fifth Pokémon, while Alain chooses to [[recall]] Charizard and send out his {{p|Bisharp}} again. In order to create an environment suitable for Goodra, Ash has the Dragon Pokémon use {{m|Rain Dance}}, creating a [[rain]]storm on the battlefield. Goodra begins the offensive with {{m|Ice Beam}}, which Bisharp dodges while charging in for an {{m|Iron Head}}. Goodra blocks the attack by grabbing Bisharp with its horns and then throwing it into the air. Goodra's assault continues with a {{m|Dragon Pulse}}, which is blocked by a {{m|Focus Blast}} from Bisharp. As Bisharp charges in for another Iron Head, Ash has Goodra use {{m|Bide}}, forcing it to take the attack. As Bide is charging, Alain continues his own offensive by having Bisharp attack with another Focus Blast and Iron Head, severely damaging Goodra. Ash launches a counterattack in the form of a full-charged Bide, which hits Bisharp dead on, causing it to fall on its knee. Back at {{rt|14|Kalos|the wetlands}}, [[Keanan]] and the wetland Pokémon are following the battle on [[Television|TV]], while [[Meyer]] and [[Clembot]] listen to the broadcast from a radio while doing a repair job on a roof in [[Lumiose City]].

Back at the stadium, Bisharp hits Goodra straight into the face with an Iron Head, causing the severely weakened Dragon Pokémon to fall on its knees. Alain orders Bisharp to go for the finish with a {{m|Guillotine}}, which Goodra desperately attempts to counter with a Dragon Pulse, but the Sword Blade Pokémon slices through the counterattack and delivers a devastating Guillotine, causing Goodra's endurance to finally run out and the resilient {{type|Dragon}} to faint, leaving Ash with just one Pokémon remaining: {{AP|Greninja}}. As Ash's {{type|Water}} is sent out, Malva comments how losing Greninja would result in Ash's defeat. Behind her, Team Rocket grumpily comments on how she's acting as if Greninja's defeat is only a matter of time, as they of all people know how tough Ash can be.

Alain commands an Iron Head from Bisharp, which Greninja counters with a {{m|Double Team}}. As Bisharp is trying to find the real one among the clones, Ash calls a {{m|Water Shuriken}} from Greninja, which makes a direct hit on Bisharp, finally taking it out of the fight. Sawyer realizes that Ash used the rain created by Goodra's Rain Dance to his advantage, as it powers up Greninja's Water-type moves. For his final Pokémon, Alain calls out his Charizard once again. Both Ash and Alain are determined to do their best with their final battlers. Both Pokémon charge in at each other, and Charizard fires a Flamethrower, but Greninja dodges it and strikes Charizard straight in the chest with {{m|Cut}}, causing the Flame Pokémon to be pushed back just as the rainclouds above the battlefield start clearing up. Even though the rain has ended, {{an|Clemont}} assures everyone that Greninja still has the advantage in type. Serena also has full confidence in Ash.

Looking at Alain, Ash swears he's not going to lose to him, and that he'll fight him with all of his power, activating the [[Bond Phenomenon]] and transforming Greninja into Ash-Greninja. Alain, getting excited of seeing Ash bringing out his full power, responds by [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolving]] his Charizard into Mega Charizard X. With both sides having brought out their best, the entire stadium is ready to witness the final round of the Lumiose Conference to unfold before their eyes.

Ash-Greninja charges at Mega Charizard X and uses Double Team, but Alain has his partner use Flamethrower to get rid of the clones. As all the Double Team clones are wiped out, Greninja emerges from the smoke left behind by the attack and hurls a Water Shuriken at Charizard, which is countered by a Dragon Claw. Ash orders Greninja to use {{m|Aerial Ace}}, and Alain responds with a command for another Dragon Claw. The attacks clash a couple of times, until Charizard finds an opening and manages to land a direct hit on Greninja, causing Ash to cringe in pain as well due to the synchronization between him and Ash-Greninja. Charizard fires yet another Flamethrower across the battlefield, but Greninja blocks it just in time by using Cut to slice through the blue-hot flames. Alain has Charizard use its most powerful attack, {{m|Blast Burn}}, but Greninja quickly counters the attack by slamming its Water Shuriken into the ground like a pickaxe, causing a wave of water to burst out of the ground and block the incoming Fire-type move. Using the resulting steam cloud as a cover, Greninja dashes close to Charizard and strikes it on the head with an Aerial Ace, causing it to get slammed down to the ground.

As Charizard struggles to get back up, Alain congratulates Ash on giving him an thoroughly enjoyable battle. But, as Mairin's image flashes in his mind, he then loudly declares that he's going to be the strongest, and will not lose to anyone anymore. A Dragon Claw from Charizard follows, slamming Greninja across the battlefield and causing Ash to cringe again. As Greninja gets back to its feet, Ash admits he's also been enjoying battling a strong opponent like Alain, but also vows that the battle is going to end now. After promising that there'll be no hard feelings no matter who wins, Ash commands a Cut from Greninja, getting a response from Alain in the form of a Dragon Claw. Both powered-up Pokémon clash furiously in the middle of the field for a few times, after which simultaneous attack commands are given by both Trainers: Water Shuriken from Greninja, and {{m|Thunder Punch}} from Charizard. Again, fierce attacks clash in the middle of the field for a few moments, until the Water Shuriken finally overpowers the Thunder Punch, and Greninja slams the shuriken straight into Charizard's chest, causing the Fire-type to slide back. Preparing for his ultimate move, Ash has Greninja use Water Shuriken, but this time, Ash-Greninja's watery aura wraps itself around the Water Shuriken, causing its size to increase dramatically and turning its color from watery blue to blazing orange. Alain, momentarily taken aback by the sight, orders Charizard to use Blast Burn. Both moves are fired at the same time, and both Greninja and Charizard can only watch as their opponent's ultimate attack strikes them, creating a massive explosion on both sides of the field.

The entire crowd is looking at the field in anticipation, no one making a sound. As the smoke and steam clouds clear up, both Pokémon are still standing. For a few moments, both Greninja and Charizard look at each other, not moving at all. Charizard stumbles, but just a second later, Greninja falls over, reverting back to its regular form. Ash-Greninja has been defeated, the battle is over, and Alain has won the Lumiose Conference.

Exhausted from the battle, Ash can't help but admire Alain's strength. At the stands, Ash's friends are downcast by his defeat, just when he had come so close to winning. Despite this, Sawyer and Clemont comment that Ash battled well, and Serena, seeing a smile on Ash's face, understands that Ash was nevertheless satisfied with the battle. Down at the battlefield, both Ash and Alain congratulate each other on a battle well fought, shaking hands as a sign of respect. Team Rocket, overwhelmed by the storm of emotions they're going through, decide to abandon their Pokémon capture plan, instead crying and bawling as Malva watches them. Mairin is glad that Alain won, and up at their personal stand, both [[Diantha]] and [[Professor Sycamore]] are clapping along with the crowd. Professor Sycamore wonders if this victory gave Alain the answer he was looking for.

Back inside, Ash apologizes his friends for not answering their expectations, but they still congratulate him on how well he and {{cat|Ash's Pokémon|his Pokémon}} fought, Clemont even reminding him how stubborn of an opponent Alain's Charizard can be. Ash vows to keep on battling more Trainers to become even stronger. Alone in his own room, Alain thinks about how his battle with Ash made him and his Pokémon grow even stronger, and how he's going to keep collecting Mega Evolution energy, being so close to the amount needed to save Mairin's {{p|Chespin|Chespie}}.

Inside the [[Team Flare]]-occupied [[Lumiose Gym]], [[Xerosic]] declares that the preparations are complete, having the {{tc|Team Flare Admin}}s start the operation. The {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Zygarde|Zygarde Cell}}-powered weapon is aimed at [[Z2]], and seconds later, the cannon fires a bright red beam at the imprisoned {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Zygarde|Zygarde Core}}. At the same time, back at the League stadium, Diantha hands Alain the championship trophy, congratulating him on his training skills as the crowd, including Ash's friends, applaud for him. Ash, standing next to Alain, congratulates him as well. In the VIP box, Mairin is applauding to Alain too, being glad on his victory. She turns around to talk to [[Lysandre]], only to see that he's gone.

Back at the Gym, Z2 is falling under the influence of Team Flare's weapon, which [[Squishy]] is able to sense. Xerosic proudly presents the results of his research to Lysandre, who, entering the room, commands the [[Legendary Pokémon]] to unleash its power for him. Having fallen under Team Flare's control, Z2 declares to wipe the world clean of foolish people, bursting out of its container and through the side of the Gym, floating to the top of the Prism Tower. Lysandre and Xerosic enter the summit of the tower as well, witnessing how Z2 begins summoning its Cells from all across the city around it. A pulse of energy runs through the Prism Tower, and suddenly, enormous roots start bursting out of its sides and the streets below it, causing people to run and scream in panic. From their rooftop, Meyer and Clembot stare wide-eyed at the ensuing chaos. From the summit of the Prism Tower, the Team Flare Boss declares that the world will now be reborn into a new, beautiful world. Moments later, the massive roots also reach the League stadium, taking everyone by surprise and causing instant panic. Squishy, sensing that its fellow Core is in trouble, hops out of {{an|Bonnie}}'s bag and flees, with Bonnie, Clemont, and Serena in pursuit. As the roots continue to spread around Lumiose City, a bright red {{p|Zygarde}} lets out a vicious roar from the top of the root-covered Prism Tower.

==Trivia==
[[File:Title Card XY Ash V2.png|200px|thumb|The title card segment focuses on Ash for this episode]]
* [[Poké TV]]: "Burn! Pokémon Challenge!!" focusing on {{p|Goodra}}.
* This episode has similarities with ''[[EP257|Lapras of Luxury]]''. Both take place shortly after {{Ash}} has earned his eighth [[Badge|Gym Badge]] in the region he's traveling in, and feature Ash meeting up with a Pokémon he had previously released.
** Coincidentally, in ''Lapras of Luxury'', Ash met up with the {{type|Ice}} {{AP|Lapras}} shortly after [[EP254|defeating]] [[Clair]], a {{type|Dragon}} [[Gym Leader]], while in this episode, Ash meets up with the Dragon-type {{AP|Goodra}} shortly after [[XY122|defeating]] [[Wulfric]], an Ice-type Gym Leader.
* An instrumental version of [[Team Rocket's Team Song]] is used as an insert song when {{TRT}} recite their {{motto}}.
* {{an|Clemont}} and {{an|Bonnie}} narrate the preview for the [[XY124|next episode]], and Ash and Bonnie say the catchphrase which Ash usually says by himself at the end of most previews.
* This episode marks the first time that all of the Pokémon Ash has caught in Kalos are seen together.
* The [[XY&Z (song)|opening animation]] is updated, now replacing the scenes of {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Zygarde}} Complete Forme and Wulfric at the [[Pokémon Village]] with scenes of Bonnie watching [[Squishy]] and {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Z2}} as a Zygarde Complete Forme attacking [[Team Flare]]'s Megalith, which has taken on the appearance of a Zygarde 50% Forme.
* The episode's English title is a reference to the phrase "diamond in the rough".
* The beginning of [[Alain]]'s battle with [[Korrina]], which concludes in this episode, is shown during the introduction of ''[[M19|Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel]]''.

===Errors===
* A {{p|Lotad}} uses {{m|Psybeam}}, a move that it [[anime move errors|cannot legally learn]].
* When a Lotad is running up towards the group, the upper part of {{AP|Noivern}}'s chest is white instead of purple.
* When {{AP|Talonflame}} flies down to tell Ash, Bonnie, and Goodra that it found the {{p|Carbink}}, Goodra's pupils are larger than usual.
** The same error occurs with [[Clemont's Bunnelby]]'s pupils when Noivern tells Clemont and {{an|Serena}}.
* In the second shot of the scene where Ash and {{Ashfr}} are resting in the pool of water in the cave near the end of the episode, the purple coloration on Noivern's chest is only on the top part of his chest, underneath the white fur around his neck.
**His bottom jaw is also colored black instead of purple.
* When Ash and his Pokémon cheer, Talonflame is missing the yellow cere on its beak.
** Additionally, {{AP|Greninja}}'s mouth is shown to be completely closed and sealed while its tongue remains unattached around its neck.

==Trivia==
[[File:Title Card XY Ash V2.png|200px|thumb|The title card segment focuses on Ash for this episode]]
* [[Poké TV]]: "Pokémon Unbelievable" focusing on [[Ash's Greninja]] and its Ash-Greninja form.
* No one reads the title card of this episode.
* {{Ash}} and [[Wulfric]] narrate the preview for the [[XY122|next episode]].
* Ash's Greninja remains outside of its [[Poké Ball]] for the entire episode.
* A remix of {{OBP|XY&Z|song}} is used as background music in this episode.

* When Ash-Greninja is crouched down at the bottom of the mountain, the triangles next to its eyes are dark blue instead of white.
* When Ash reunites with {{AP|Pikachu}}, the brim of [[Ash's hat|his hat]] is colored red instead of white for a moment.
* When Jessie commands Gourgeist to use {{m|Dark Pulse}} on Pikachu, the tips of her third and fourth fingers are cut off when her arm is fully extended.
* Before Team Rocket blast off, Jessie's lipstick is missing.

Super Training

2016-07-27T02:18:05Z

MasterKenobi: /* Secret Super Training */ Confirming AS Final Super Training Regimens

[[File:Super Training party XY.png|thumb|230px|Super Training with the player's party]]
'''Super Training''' (Japanese: '''スーパートレーニング''' ''Super Training''), commonly abbreviated as '''ST''' (Japanese: '''スパトレ''' ''SuperTra''), is a method of Pokémon training introduced in the [[Pokémon X and Y]] games. It is a feature created by [[Clemont]] which allows players to train their Pokémon on the touch screen from anywhere at any time. Super Training allows the player to not increase their Pokémon's level, but instead raise its stats (i.e. [[effort values]]). Super Training is accessible among the paged features on the bottom screen of the 3DS in X and Y, immediately left of the [[Player Search System]] and right of [[Pokémon-Amie]]; in {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, it is at the bottom of the PlayNav menu of the [[PokéNav Plus]].

The first time the player accesses Super Training, they are shown a video and taken through two tutorials demonstrating how to use Super-Training Regimens (against a virtual {{p|Scatterbug}} and {{p|Spewpa}}) to increase a Pokémon's stats, and how to use training bags in the Core Training screen to do the same.

==Core Training==
[[File:Super Training bags XY.jpg|thumb|Selecting a training bag for Core Training]]
The main Super Training screen is referred to as Core Training (Japanese: '''ベーストレーニング''' ''Base Training''), where players can use training bags to help boost their Pokémon's growth. The player may earn additional training bags by participating in Super-Training Regimens, or by "punching" (tapping) repeatedly on the empty training bag on this screen. Pokémon will also hit the training bag automatically, once per minute, occasionally finding training bags on their own.

Occasionally, the player's Pokémon will take a rest from Core Training, indicated by the Pokémon lying on its side with a "..." displayed above it and a refusal to participate in a Super-Training Regimen (or accept a new training bag); tapping the Pokémon will wake it up and give it a second wind (shown as a smiley above the Pokémon), which doubles the speed at which the Pokémon can finish off a training bag.

The small, medium and large stat bags are all patterned to resemble a three-stage line of Pokémon which specializes in that stat. The HP bags resemble {{p|Azurill}}, {{p|Marill}}, and {{p|Azumarill}}; Attack bags resemble {{p|Machop}}, {{p|Machoke}}, and {{p|Machamp}}; Defense bags resemble {{p|Aron}}, {{p|Lairon}}, and {{p|Aggron}}; Special Attack bags resemble {{p|Litwick}}, {{p|Lampent}}, and {{p|Chandelure}}; Special Defense bags resemble {{p|Flabébé}}, {{p|Floette}}, and {{p|Florges}}; while Speed bags resemble {{p|Zubat}}, {{p|Golbat}}, and {{p|Crobat}}.

Bags that boost a Pokémon's performance in a Super-Training Regimen cannot be combined with each other, but remain in effect until the Pokémon actually participates in a regimen.

===The Effort-o-Meter===
[[File:Super Training Effort-O-Meter comparison.png|thumb|300px|Comparison of a {{p|Mewtwo}} and {{p|Pikachu}}'s Effort-o-Meters]]
The Effort-o-Meter displays a Pokémon's stats as a graph (radar chart) on the Core Training screen. Many Pokémon have stats that grow more easily than others, and stats that take more time to grow than others. The inner green part of the Effort-o-Meter's graph shows stat levels related to the Pokémon's [[base stat]]s (as dictated by its species), while the outer yellow portion shows [[effort values]] gained through Super Training.

A vertical meter to the right of this graph shows the Pokémon's cumulative training progress across all its stats; when this reaches its maximum value, the player is notified and the Pokémon is declared a Fully Trained Pokémon (indicated by a [[File:ST Fully Trained icon.png]] icon to the left of its name) and becomes eligible for Secret Super-Training Regimens.

In addition to EV-reducing [[Berry|Berries]], the player can reset the Pokémon's stat increases with a Reset Bag, which resets all obtained effort values. The Reset Bag is never given as a prize for completing a Training Regimen; it can only be obtained by tapping the empty bag on the main Super Training screen.

==Super Training Regimens==
{{incomplete|section|Needs specific number values on damage dealt in the Super Training regimen}}
[[File:Super Training regimens XY.jpg|thumb|Super Training Lv. 1 Regimens]]
[[File:XY Prerelease Super Training.png|thumb|{{p|Froakie}} battling against a {{p|Geodude}} Balloon Bot]]

Super-Training Regimens, a part of Super Training, strengthens a Pokémon by making it face off against giant Pokémon-shaped "Balloon Bots" in a soccer-like game where the player scores points by striking targets on the Balloon Bot. Completing a regimen awards an increase to the Pokémon's stats (in the same way that stat training bags in Core Training do); completing it within a specified target time also earns the Pokémon a medal.

Initially, only Lv.1 Super-Training Regimens are available; Lv.2 and Lv.3 training regimens are unlocked by completing all six regimens of each level the first time (with any Pokémon).

Unlike [[vitamin]]s and training bags, a Pokémon may participate in a Super-Training Regimen at any time, even if its stat(s) (as shown on the Core Training screen) have hit their maximum values, and obtain Training Bags as prizes.

The table below describes the Balloon Bots that are fought in each regimen and the total score needed to defeat them.

===Shot types===
{{main|List of Pokémon by Super Training Energy Shot}}
Each species of Pokémon has a different-colored Energy Shot in Super-Training Regimens, with each type having a different effect. The table below describes the attributes of each type of shot.

{| class="roundy" style="margin:auto; background: #{{tough color}}; border: 3px solid #{{fighting color dark}}"
! Color
! Effect
|- style="background:#fff"
| Black
| Average shot, Average power
|- style="background:#fff"
| Yellow
| Fires multiple shots in succession after charging, smaller shot size, lowest power, Guts Shots don't use as much of the Guts Meter
|- style="background:#fff"
| Orange
| Larger shot size, second lowest power
|- style="background:#fff"
| Green
| Slowest shot speed, larger shot size, highest max power, Guts Shots decrease Guts Meter more
|-
| style="background:#fff; {{roundybl|5px}}" | Blue
| style="background:#fff; {{roundybr|5px}}" | Higher shot speed, smaller shot size, second highest max power, Guts Shots decrease Guts Meter more
|}

===Influence of stats===
The Pokémon's performance during a Super Training Regimen is influenced by its own stats:

{| class="roundy" style="margin:auto; background: #{{tough color}}; border: 3px solid #{{fighting color dark}}"
! Stat
! Effect
|- style="background:#fff"
| HP
| Increases shot size, reduces point loss when hit by an attack
|- style="background:#fff"
| Attack, Sp.Atk
| Increases the power of the Pokémon's shots
|- style="background:#fff; {{roundybl|5px}}"
| Defense, Sp.Def
| Guts meter fills faster, can block for longer
|- style="background:#fff; {{roundybr|5px}}"
| Speed
| Increases shot and movement speed
|}

===Secret Super Training===
[[File:Super Training mega aggron balloon XY.jpg|thumb|{{p|Greninja}} facing off against a Mega {{p|Aggron}} Balloon Bot]]
A set of twelve Secret Super-Training Regimens are accessible exclusively to Fully Trained Pokémon. Many of these Secret Super-Training Regimens involve Circuit Training: battling more than one Balloon Bot in sequence. During Circuit Training, the timer is extended by 30 seconds between each Balloon Bot.

Unlike in regular Super-Training Regimens where each rank of regimens is unlocked at once, each Secret Super-Training Regimen is unlocked in sequence.

In Secret Super Training, if the player achieves the target time, they will also receive an item as a reward, in addition to a training bag. The more the target time is beaten by, the more likely the player is to receive a rare item.

Achieving the target time in all Super Training and Secret Super-Training Regimens declares the Pokémon a Supremely Trained Pokémon (indicated by a [[File:ST Supremely Trained icon.png]] icon to the left of its name).

Once a Pokémon is eligible for Secret Super Training it retains that distinction permanently; reducing its EVs (e.g. using a Reset Bag) does not disqualify it from participating in Secret Super-Training Regimens.

Johto Route 40

'''Route 40''' is a route in Johto and the first [[water route]] Trainers from [[New Bark Town]] come in contact with.

==Route description==
[[File:Johto Battle Frontier.png|thumb|left|{{ga|Lyra}} reading a sign next to the [[gate]] that leads to the Battle Frontier in Generation IV]]
This route consists of a small amount of land that is dwarfed in proportion by the surrounding ocean. All that a Trainer must do is head south, towards the [[Whirl Islands]], defeating a few Trainers along the way. The Pokémon selection in this route is equally bland, comprising only of the most commonly appearing sea route Pokémon: {{p|Tentacool}} and {{p|Tentacruel}}.

However, in {{game|Crystal}}, the {{jo|Battle Tower}} will be on this route, giving Trainers much more to do after defeating the sixteen [[Gym Leader]]s of the game. In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the Battle Tower returns, joined by 4 other facilities in the series' third {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|IV}}. The Battle Frontier found here is nearly identical to the one found in the [[Sinnoh]] Region.

[[Week Siblings|Monica]] appears on the beach on Mondays and gives a Sharp Beak to the {{player}} the first time he or she talks to her, and an {{DL|List of Ribbons in the games|Alert Ribbon}} the second time and all times after ([[Generation IV]] only).

==Suggestion for the Wiki==
Where would i post a suggestion for the wiki? Would i ask you... or do I go to the forums. If i do ask you, what would you think about a new project: Pokémon pronunciation. After their names on every Pokémon's page, there should be a pronunciation key. I know Nintendo never gave pronunciation keys, but with the anime, we should be able to get the pronunciations. I only say this because I personally hate not knowing how to pronounce a Pokémon's name, and there's a lot I don't know, and I don't wan to go find what anime episode they are in to listen to when a character says there name. To be honest, I'm not really good with forums, so if this is something that should be brought to the attention of the forums, could you help me set it up? Thank you... [[User:Toadstool|Toadstool]] 23:53, 22 June 2011 (UTC)
:The issue with pronounciations, it the official handbooks have one, the 3D games usually have a different one, the anime often has a third different one, and in some cases the movies have a fourth. Until we can get consistency across all the different media, it's going to be difficult to implement. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 02:44, 23 June 2011 (UTC)
::Yea, we tried implementing it from the handbook, but it just created arguments. Myself included. No one really seems to know what the correct one is. -- '''[[User:MAGNEDETH|MAG]][[Special:Contributions/MAGNEDETH|NE]][[User talk:MAGNEDETH|DETH]]''' 02:47, 23 June 2011 (UTC)

==Userpage?==
How many edits do new users have to make before they can make their own userspace? [[User:Arceuscl405|Arceuscl405]] 22:15, 8 July 2011 (UTC)
:Put your main focus on the mainspace as the number of edits is secret. Just keep making good edits and it'll appear. --[[Special:Contributions/CoolPikachu!|'''☆''']][[User:CoolPikachu!|'''Cool''']][[User talk:CoolPikachu!|'''Pikachu!''']] 22:28, 8 July 2011 (UTC)
::Just make sure that you don't try to get your userpage edit rights by making numerous minor edits. (That's the lazy man's way of doing it!) 10 minor edits contribute to the mainspace a lot less than 10 major edits. Trust me, I know this. I have a userpage that I just got and I won't edit until the userpage restriction is lifted from 1 edit per day to 3 edits per day. That way, I can complete it a lot faster than if I started now. 〜[[User:Pikachu9000|'''Pikachu''']][[User talk:Pikachu9000|'''9000''']] 02:06, 20 July 2011 (UTC)

== Hmm... ==
There was a sentence in the [[Kecleon Shop]] article that read, "Best plan if thinking about theft is too know where the stairs are." I edited this out, because not only is it opinion, the grammar and spelling don't meet the expectations of Bulbapedia. Is this bad enough for me to get someone to message [[User talk:Charizard Colour|the person who put that there]]? [[User:EvilKirikizan|EvilKirikizan]] 13:32, 17 July 2011 (UTC)
:That is indeed quite bad and unacceptable. However, it isn't recommended to warn people of errors so far after they've happened. Seems that person hasn't edited in a few days anyway. If that person comes back, or indeed you see anyone make such a large grammatical error, it is advised to revert and warn them. You can do it yourself (it's a fairly basic site-wide rule so it isn't really necessary to get an admin), but if you don't feel comfortable, you can contact any active staff member. -- '''[[User:MAGNEDETH|MAG]][[Special:Contributions/MAGNEDETH|NE]][[User talk:MAGNEDETH|DETH]]''' 15:57, 17 July 2011 (UTC)

== Userpage Edit Limit ==

Sorry to bother you. I know you're busy, but do you know when the userpage edit limit will be raised from one edit per day back to three edits per day? I'm wondering when this may occur because I just got my userpage earlier today and I'm not going to edit it <strike>(or my talk page)</strike> until the limit is raised. I'm doing this so that I can complete my userpage faster than right now. Have a nice day! 〜[[User:Pikachu9000|'''Pikachu''']][[User talk:Pikachu9000|'''9000''']] 02:11, 20 July 2011 (UTC)
:As of now, no. But if you abuse the preview button, you can make a whole page in one edit. So give that a try. -- '''[[User:MAGNEDETH|MAG]][[Special:Contributions/MAGNEDETH|NE]][[User talk:MAGNEDETH|DETH]]''' 03:40, 20 July 2011 (UTC)
::Okay. Thanks for the tip! Keep me informed of any info about the userpage limit! 〜[[User:Pikachu9000|'''Pikachu''']][[User talk:Pikachu9000|'''9000''']] 22:17, 20 July 2011 (UTC)
:::As soon as a change is made, it will be reflected via a Message from the Editor, or the site header. -- '''[[User:MAGNEDETH|MAG]][[Special:Contributions/MAGNEDETH|NE]][[User talk:MAGNEDETH|DETH]]''' 03:55, 21 July 2011 (UTC)
::::Okay. By the way, would using the strategy for editing my userpage that was stated earlier get me banned from editing it temporarily? 〜[[User:Pikachu9000|'''Pikachu''']][[User talk:Pikachu9000|'''9000''']] 13:56, 21 July 2011 (UTC)
:::::As long as you make ONE edit per day, AND pad that edit with mainspace edits, then no. Bulbapedia is a place of work.

::::::Alright. Thanks for the info. One more question: Does the User talk page count as the userspace as well? 〜[[User:Pikachu9000|'''Pikachu''']][[User talk:Pikachu9000|'''9000''']] 23:53, 21 July 2011 (UTC)
:::::::No, but you should still use the preview button. -- '''[[User:MAGNEDETH|MAG]][[Special:Contributions/MAGNEDETH|NE]][[User talk:MAGNEDETH|DETH]]''' 22:30, 22 July 2011 (UTC)
::::::::Okay, but is there a "one-edit-a-day" limit on the user talk page like there is on the userspace? 〜[[User:Pikachu9000|'''Pikachu''']][[User talk:Pikachu9000|'''9000''']] 15:58, 26 July 2011 (UTC)
:::::::::Hi. No need to answer the previous question. I was just reading over the section and saw that you made 2 edits in one day to this section alone! And since this is your user talk page, that pretty much answers my question. Thanks for answering my previous questions though. (And yes. This means that as of yet, I have no more questions regarding this section.) Good luck with being Bulbapedia's Editor-in-Chief! Thanks for all your help! 〜[[User:Pikachu9000|'''Pikachu''']][[User talk:Pikachu9000|'''9000''']] 00:56, 1 August 2011 (UTC)

== Large-Scale Pokémon Graph Projects ==

Hello!

[http://s49.photobucket.com/albums/f293/Googlebonker/Pokemon%20Project%20Base%20Stat%20Graphs/][http://s49.photobucket.com/albums/f293/Googlebonker/Pokemon%20Project%20Maximum%20and%20Minimum%20Stat%20Graphs/]

If those don't work, go to photobucket.com and search "Googlebonker."

These are projects I started that I really don't want to take the time to finish. I'd like them to be presented to the Pokémon community for other people to continue work on them.

I enjoyed seeing graphs in an early strategy guide for Pokémon. I don't understand why they stopped using that style of graph and began using numbers of blocks/circles to represent the strength of a Pokémon's Stats. Graphs included in the above-linked albums are more accurate representations of Pokémon's Base Stats and maximum and minimum stats with Hindering, Neutral, and Beneficial Natures.

The files in the "Pokemon Project Base Stat Graphs" album include a blank Base Stats graph, Base Stat comparison charts by evolution chain, and Base Stat graphs for the following Pokémon:

Pokemon #001-#151, all evolutions and/or pre-evolutions of Pokémon #001-#151 not included in those numbers (where applicable), Shuckle, Shedinja, Arceus, Zekrom, and Reshiram

The "Pokemon Project Maximum and Minimum Stat Graphs" (M&MSGs) album includes blank M&MSGs and M&MSGs for the Pokémon listed above. It also contains the albums "Attack Special Attack Defense Special Defense," "HP_," and "Speed." These albums contain color-coded pixels indicating M&MS based on Base Stats. These files can be used in conjunction with a blank M&MSG to more easily make a new M&MSG for a Pokémon.

I already have a guide on how to construct files ready to go.

The "01Items" Album and its sub-albums contain a small amount of files. These files are the basis of a much larger, more time-consuming subproject of graphing Pokémon's M&MS while holding certain items that affect Pokémon's Stats (not the Base Power of Moves).

I don't guarantee all of the information I've graphed is correct.

Thank you for your time and reading. I hope someone or some people can take the reigns of these projects and see them through to completion. [[User:Googlebonker|Googlebonker]] 19:34, 20 July 2011 (UTC)
:The graphs are far less accurate and exact than our bar style. It would also be extremely difficult to implement as opposed to our coded templates. I appreciate the effort and suggestion, but it isnt really feasible. Also, please use the preview button instead of making multiple small edits. -- '''[[User:MAGNEDETH|MAG]][[Special:Contributions/MAGNEDETH|NE]][[User talk:MAGNEDETH|DETH]]''' 04:01, 21 July 2011 (UTC)

I can understand about the feasibility, but far less accurate? Did you open those files or simply look at the thumbnails? Isn`t it possible to have a small version of a picture that shows the full version when a mouse cursor`s tip pixel is placed over any of the small version`s position?

[[User:Googlebonker|Googlebonker]] 06:09, 21 July 2011 (UTC)
::Not with the current version of Mediawiki. We can only have the thumbnail on the page, and when clicked, it loads the image page. It's less desirable than what we have at the moment. The bars are an easy enough way to compare them, for me at least easier, since they all go in the same direction. Also, take in mind that the current template uses relatively little loading - it doesn't use any images from the archives. Even in the show/hides we have, the images are still all loaded when the page is, so a large image would negatively imact the loading times.

:Excuse me MAGNEDETH, I hope you don't mind me butting into your page. Arceusc1405, trivia isn't ALWAYS being added. There are some people that can edit a piece of trivial information.

== External Links Update for Gen 5 ==

I noticed that the external links sections of Pokémon pages still haven't been updated for Gen V. I would be happy to update them myself if my account had the permission to do that, but in lieu of that I put the updated code in the Talk page for each one under the heading "Proposed Gen 5 Update". Obviously if you don't agree with the changes I'm proposing you don't have to implement them:

==I keep logging out...?==
Hey Mag, I'm having some issues, and I'd thought I'd try and see if you can tell me how to fix them. So, everytime I X-out of the internet window, Bulbapedia logs me out. And I have to log in all over again. However, if I just press log in, and then click the back button, I'm logged in. It's been doing it since Bulbapedia was locked down last week. Got any idea what's causing it, because this has never happened before. [[User:Littlmiget123|Littlmiget123]] 17:08, 29 August 2011 (UTC)

== Internamespace redirects ==

Hey there. I was bumming around today and I realized that we don't have many, if any, redirects from the mainspace to the Bulbapedia namespace. If somebody wants to find out, say, who the administrators are, they're probably going to type in "Administrators" or "Admins" into the search bar, which will get them nowhere. Well, not ''nowhere''. They'd have to click around for it. Would you be opposed to having redirects from the mainspace for some of the larger items in the Bulbapedia namespace? Like, the big policies, usergroups, etc. I don't see any inherent problem with it, but I figure there might be some reason why we don't have them.

== Watchlist Curiousity ==

Hi '''MAGNEDETH'''. So here's the thing: A few days ago, I was looking at my watchlist, something I do every now and again, and I saw something on it that made me wonder what it was for. That thing is the little number in parentheses next to the username. You know, the little number that's either green or red. That thing. Normally, I would just disregard it entirely and continue with whatever I was doing, but this time, I stopped to wonder, "Why is this thing here? What is it even for?" And for everyone else out there looking at this, I'll insert a "typed picture" as well to show what I'm talking about. And this is an actual example from my watchlist. So here it is everyone:

== Bulbapedia Staff ==
Hello, I heard Bulbapedia is currently hiring. I have been coming to this site for years and I am very much interested.

I assume I would have to need an account on the Bulbaforums first. It doesn't even let me create an account, though...
[[User:Philosophical-Psychological Informist Togekiss|Philosophical-Psychological Informist Togekiss]] 01:11, 19 November 2011 (UTC)
:What is it saying when you try to make an account? That'll likely tell you what needs to be done differently. Note that, unlike the Bulbawiki accounts, the forums account isn't linked - you'll have to create an account there, rather than just logging is with your Bulbapedia username and password as you would do on, say, Bulbanews.

:On the staff application front, as is stated on the news article, you need to have more than 500 mainspace contributions. You're about 450 short. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 03:54, 19 November 2011 (UTC)

== Conversations on the same page ==

Having replies on the same page is not necessary: it has always been personal preference (which can be seen by the few users who state on the top of their page that they like messages together, such as {{u|Kogoro}}). Additionally, [[Bulbapedia:Talk page policy|according to the talk page policy]], when you removed the comment from masatoshi's page, you broke the part of the talk page etiquette that says : "Removing comments is also frowned upon." No where does it state that they need to be on the same userpage when talking to someone, and it shouldn't (we can't force a certain personal preference). Telling the person to do it that way from now on would have been the appropriate action, without removing the comment. The history is now on Masatoshi's page, and if looking at the history on DigiKatana's page, it appears that you are posting messages with someone else's signature (which appears to be a much larger offense). Moral: You can't force users to post on the same page. You can ask them to do that, but as it is personal preference, you cannot force it upon them.

== Diamond and Pearl walkthrough==
Any help with Diamond and Pearl will be useful. Originally before I started, it was much worse so I had to spend alot of time doing a lot of modifications to improve quality standards, which Platinum still needs to be done with, but I fine if you further improve the quality standards. My style is just to keep the summaries simple without going too overboard on details.

If you are good at uploading pictures then you can help with the ones that need it like Route 210 since the current picture has both sides of that route, and only the south end is needed right now for the walkthrough, until the north end area is reached. -[[User:Tyler53841|Tyler53841]] 16:36, 24 April 2010 (UTC)
:I will work on the Diamond and Pearl walkthrough more then when I have some time. The summary that were done need a bit more detail I think which I can get done. As for the Route 210 south end picture I can probably get it, just some easy cropping.

Why are you creating DP176 redirects with em dashes?

I think it is noteworthy that the game was released on western shores in the very week after it has been announced. To my knowledge, no game has ever come close to being released the very week after it was revealed, so I think it should be mentioned in the article.

:: Someone added an image of the codes anyway. BTW, though Wikipedia would almost certainly call this original research, I've cracked the code and discovered that it is based on NATIONAL Pokedex numbers, meaning you can create codes for non-Unova Pokemon. They don't work yet, of course, but it's not difficult to figure out what the codes are. The alternate formes use "Pokedex numbers" in the 700s, leaving exactly enough space for every non-Unovan alternate forme (and Meloetta and Genesect's). Thus, it's possible (but not necessarily the case) that this could be updated for other generations in the future. I won't put this on the page unless people think it's exceptionally notable, but I figured it should be said on the Talk page, at least. --[[User:HeroicJay|HeroicJay]] 22:52, 8 June 2011 (UTC)

== Not-so-QR codes ==

Just one look at [[Wikipedia:QR code|Wikipedia's page]] will show that the images for this app are ''not'', in fact, QR codes. They're a similar concept, sure, but "similar" does not mean "the same". The game's digital manual refers to them as "AR markers" (AR = "Altered Reality", which is how Nintendo refers to anything that puts game graphics over images from the cameras.) --[[User:HeroicJay|HeroicJay]] 02:24, 5 July 2011 (UTC)

== Limit to SpotPass Pokemon? ==

Unless there's some other issue at hand here, there appears to be a limit to how many Pokemon can be obtained using the SpotPass feature. As of yesterday, I am no longer receiving my daily Pokemon (despite being in wireless range), and if I've done the math correctly, my last Pokemon was the 70th one I got via SpotPass. That doesn't seem like just a random number, so I'm inclined to believe that there may be a limit of 70 SpotPass distribs - and if that is the case, we should add it to the article.

Has anyone else seemingly hit such a limit? [[User:Umeko|梅子]][[User talk:Umeko|❀]][[Special:Contributions/Umeko|✿]] 03:13, 12 July 2011 (UTC)

:::I hit a "bug" on mine where it wouldn't recieve them for a few days. I'd recieved less than 10 Pokémon at the time. It fixed itself when I left the 3DS off for 24 hours (presumably turning off Spot Pass for 24 hours would do the same?) I suspect is had something to do with me accessing it shortly before I could recieve them, and then leaving it sleeping until after I could, causing it to not reset to being able to recieve them 24 hours after the last time.

''However'', yesterday download didn’t initiate until I cheated the clock forward to get the blue dot, then back before receiving the Pokémon. Today I received them normally, though, while playing ''LoZ:OoT 3d''. So maybe there is a number limit but you can reset it by cheating?

** After the interview was posted, the site instead displayed a notice of closure following a cease-and-desist notification in relation to the interview. After 15 seconds, the visitor was returned to the real main page.

Talk:April Fools' Day 2007

2011-04-02T04:30:21Z

MasterKenobi: moved Talk:April Fool's Day 2007 to Talk:April Fools' Day 2007: Fools' - Approved by Trom

Hey, guys? Did it ever occur to you that ''the massive dump of information on Serebii's page might be fake, too?'' Or at least that it might be a good idea to wait a day and find out BEFORE moving everything to new names? Some of the names have more than ten characters, which I believe is still the limit... I'm really, really frustrated by this. You realize this is gonna take forever to clean up if it turns out to be a hoax (which, honestly, I'm placing my chips down on)? --[[User:Pie|Pie]] ~[[User talk:Pie|♪]][[Special:Contributions/Pie|♫]] 21:42, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

=Pictures=

I've done some HQ pics of the hoaxes on Legendary Pokemon, Pokemopolis and Pokecharms if ya all want it --[[User:Serebii|Serebii]] 21:48, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
:Websites that "shut down". Good choices. XP --[[User:Pie|Pie]] ~[[User talk:Pie|♪]][[Special:Contributions/Pie|♫]] 21:55, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

I don't think that Serebii would do that. I mean . . all the names fit and Serebii would lose all credibility if they did that. I don't think it is, but I woun't change anymore names until tomorrow. But, this is a good point. [[User:Darkphantom|Darkphantom]] 21:49, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
:Again, some of the names are over the 10 character limit. And this is mostly a way of venting frustration. The damage is done - might as well leave it until this stupid day is over. --[[User:Pie|Pie]] ~[[User talk:Pie|♪]][[Special:Contributions/Pie|♫]] 21:55, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
::Who is to say that the limits haven't changed in these games. Don't be so cynical Pie --[[User:Serebii|Serebii]] 22:00, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
:::I'm not being cynical, I'm being realistic. You're probably laughing your butt off over there because the people at the Bulbapedia didn't have the foresight to wait a day and this will take ages to clean up. --[[User:Pie|Pie]] ~[[User talk:Pie|♪]][[Special:Contributions/Pie|♫]] 22:04, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
::::No, because the joke was on those who believed it to be fake. --[[User:Serebii|Serebii]] 22:05, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
:::::Sure it was. Because that's not the most obvious cover ever for an April Fool's joke. --[[User:Pie|Pie]] ~[[User talk:Pie|♪]][[Special:Contributions/Pie|♫]] 22:11, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
::::::Believe what you want, but I expect an apology when it turns out true --[[User:Serebii|Serebii]] 22:17, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
:::::::And I'll expect nothing when it turns out to be false. Because I'll be too busy cleaning up this mess and I doubt you care enough about the Bulbapedia to help. --[[User:Pie|Pie]] ~[[User talk:Pie|♪]][[Special:Contributions/Pie|♫]] 22:20, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
:::::::I'll concede that I was wrong and frustrated. But... don't hold your breath for an apology. Even you can't deny that it was stupid of the Bulbapedia contributors to jump into action updating, and the simplest, wisest action would be to wait a day to find out.
:::::::Also, I must note that I find some of these names just plain absurd sounding. PUSA has been really disappointing me lately. --[[User:Pie|Pie]] ~[[User talk:Pie|♪]][[Special:Contributions/Pie|♫]] 13:01, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

Well... anyway we still haven't US names for [[Jun]] and [[Foento City]]... - [[User:Taylor|Taylor]] 12:52, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

Please everyone, stop arguing. We can always change the articles back if it was a joke. [[User:Carnivine|Carnivine]] 13:14, 2 April 2007

'''April 1, 2007''' was an {{wp|April Fool's Day}} that fell on a Sunday.

==Hoaxes==
* Sunain announced her departure<ref>[http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/showthread.php?t=18456]</ref> from [[Pocketmonsters|#pocketmonsters]] and the community in general on March 26, then returned on April 1 itself.
* #pocketmonsters also released a fake episode of [[wp:School Rumble|School Rumble]] falsely labeled as a subtitled [[DP024]].
* Pokecharms.com was taken down ''impending action over the Copyright Infringements taking place on domain: Pokecharms.com under a claim by Plaintiff: Nintendo United Kingdom; relating to the franchise: Pokémon.''
* [[Pokemopolis]] announced and effected a merger with [[Serebii.net]].
* Legendary Pokémon announced and effected a merger with [[Serebii.net]].
* Pokémon.Marriland.com claimed to have unearthed information about the third game in the [[Generation IV]] series, which they called [http://www.marriland.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=18893 Pokémon Zircon]. Before the real {{game|Platinum}} boxart was revealed, many people thought that this "Zircon" boxart was that of Platinum. Ironically, much of the "information" Marriland provided turned out to be true.

April Fools' Day 2006

2011-04-02T04:29:03Z

MasterKenobi:

[[File:Bulbapedia 20060401.png|thumb|right|Tervetuloa Bulbapediaan?]]
'''April 1, 2006''' was an {{wp|April Fools' Day}} that fell on a Saturday.

==Hoaxes==
[[File:Pokeani 20060401.png|thumb|The Pokeani front page]]
Pokémon-related hoaxes this year included:
* [[Bulbacast:SP001|A special edition of '''Bulbacast''']] was released, breaking the news about 10 newly-discovered Pokémon names, as well as other 'information' about {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, such as a true cross-breeding feature and the name of the new region. The Pokeani hoaxes were also discussed.
* '''Pokeani''' made [[n:Spinoff anime based on Pokémon Mysterious Dungeon announced|its first April Fools' Day hoax]], announcing a spinoff anime based on [[Pokémon Mysterious Dungeon]], where the main character is a boy-turned-{{p|Pikachu}}. Also reported was a new ending, [[Takeshi's Paradise]] 2. <ref>[http://pokeani.com/news/2006_04/04-pokenews-uso.html Pokeani]</ref>
* '''Dogasu's Backpack''' published a fake comparison of [[AG115|''Mean with Envy'']], illustrated with doctored screenshots. <ref>[http://www.bulbagarden.net/~dogasu/features/april_fools.html Dogasu's Backpack]</ref>

==Aesthetic changes==

[[File:PokéCommunity 20060401.png|thumb|right|A black-on-black color scheme]]
A fairly predictable joke that recurs each April Fools' Day is an aesthetic change:
* '''[[Serebii.net|SPP]]''' expanded its initials as ''{{smw|Super Princess Peach}}''.
* '''[[Pokécommunity]]''' set the default color scheme to black-on-black.
* '''[[Bulbapedia]]''' set the interface for logged-in users to Finnish, then later, Japanese.
* '''Pokémon Emerald MA''' imitates the new, 'girl-oriented' Slashdot look, ''OMG!!! Ponies!!'', including the pink color scheme.
* '''[[Psypoke]]''' celebrated Seizure Awareness Day, with a new banner and bright new flashing color scheme. The forums were also modified to have a similar flashing-color effect within each table cell on the index page.


==Miscellaneous==
[[File:AG160 parody.jpg|thumb|right|"Hmm... she's trying to kill it? But I want that honor."]]
* <sc>'''pkmn.net'''</sc> set up the profanity filter on their forums to change various common words:
** Poké → Digi
** Ash → Soot
** Egg → Infant
** Disable → Hypnosis
** Member → Peasant
** Admin → Base jumper

April Fools' Day 2011

2011-04-02T00:19:30Z

MasterKenobi: /* Hoaxes */

'''April 1, 2011''' was an {{wp|April Fool's Day}} that fell on a Friday. In the Pokémon fandom, many websites pulled hoaxes on gullible fans.

==Hoaxes==
===Bulbagarden===
[[File:FushigipediaSS.png|200px|thumb|right|Bulbapedia as "Fushigipedia"]]
* Bulbapedia temporarily rechristened itself as '''Fushigipedia''', "the Pocket Monster encyclopedia", complete with [[Generation I|First Generation]] colors, references, and imagery of Pokémon throughout the site. To coincide with the Bulbasaur theme of Bulbapedia, the Romanization derivation is taken from Bulbasaur's name, ''Fushigidane''.
* Bulbanews temporarily undertook the name of '''Fushiginews''' updating articles "Every 13 years". Covering the Front page were articles from 1998 including an article about a rumored [[SS Anne#Rumors|Truck]] on the Vermillion City port.
* Bulbagarden forums were redesigned to become '''Retrogarden''', with the forum taking on a look and theme of 1998 as though the announcement of Pokémon coming to the United States had just recently taken place.
* Bulbagarden Archives was given an aesthetic makeover and renamed '''Fushigi-Archives''' to match the themes of both Fushigipedia and Fushiginews.

===Fan sites===
[[File:PokeCommunityAF2011SerebiiForumsComparison.png|thumb|right|Pokécommunity vs. Serebii]]
* [[PKMN.NET]] reported on a new Pokémon Trading Card video game for the Nintendo 3DS titled "Pokémon Trading Card Revolution". <ref>[http://pkmn.net/?action=news&page=viewnews&id=856 TCG Game Sequel Finally Announced For 3DS]</ref>
* [[The PokéMasters]] changed the themes of its main site and forums to "{{ga|Blue|Gary Oak Masters}}" theme, disabling the style changing dropdowns on both. The forums also implemented a celebration of Gary Oak with every thread mentioning "Gary was Here" and the Rival music from [[Generation I]] being played. Additionally, the site's announced the remake of Pokémon Snap 3DS with the Source linking to Rebecca Black's 'Friday' video.
* [[Psypoke]] was redesigned with an advertising campaign with the theme of Rebecca Black Version and Betty White Version. Advertisements were placed on the main site and forums with respective banners including a Betty White Version RageCandyBar parody.
* [http://veekun.com Veekun] thanked Bulbapedia in comical ways titled "Thanks, Bulbapedia", and parodied many other well-known Pokémon fan-sites. In addition a rotating script was implemented, causing the page to flip whenever scrolled over. <ref>[http://thanksbulbapedia.tumblr.com/ Thanks, Bulbapedia]</ref>
* Similar to previous years, [[PokéCommunity]] parodied [[Serebii.net|Serebii]] Forums and locked the skin as the same {{p|Celebi}} green.
* PokéCharms was redesigned as Smug World Order (SWO) with a {{p|Snivy|Smugleaf}} theming. The site announced its allegiance and dedication by handing over the site to "Lord Smugleaf".

* Bulbagarden forums were redesigned to become '''Retrogarden''', with the forum taking on a look and theme of 1998 as though the announcement of Pokémon coming to the United States had just recently taken place.
* Bulbagarden Archives was given an aesthetic makeover and renamed '''Fushigi-Archives''' to match the themes of both Fushigipedia and Fushiginews.

===Fan sites===
[[File:PokeCommunityAF2011SerebiiForumsComparison.png|thumb|right|Pokécommunity vs. Serebii]]
* [[PKMN.NET]] reported on a new Pokémon Trading Card video game for the Nintendo 3DS titled "Pokémon Trading Card Revolution". <ref>[http://pkmn.net/?action=news&page=viewnews&id=856 TCG Game Sequel Finally Announced For 3DS]</ref>
* [[The PokéMasters]] changed the themes of its main site and forums to "{{ga|Blue|Gary Oak Masters}}" theme, disabling the style changing dropdowns on both. The forums also implemented a celebration of Gary Oak with every thread mentioning "Gary was Here" and the Rival music from [[Generation I]] being played. Additionally, the site's announced the remake of Pokémon Snap 3DS with the Source linking to Rebecca Black's 'Friday' video.
* [[Psypoke]] was redesigned with an advertising campaign with the theme of Rebecca Black Version and Betty White Version. Advertisements were placed on the main site and forums with respective banners including a Betty White Version RageCandyBar parody.
* [http://veekun.com Veekun] thanked Bulbapedia in comical ways titled "Thanks, Bulbapedia", and parodied many other well-known Pokémon fan-sites. In addition a rotating script was implemented, causing the page to flip whenever scrolled over. <ref>[http://thanksbulbapedia.tumblr.com/ Thanks, Bulbapedia]</ref>
* Similar to previous years, [[PokéCommunity]] parodied [[Serebii.net|Serebii]] Forums and locked the skin as the same {{p|Celebi}} green.
* PokéCharms was redesigned as Smug World Order (SWO) with a [[Snivy|Smugleaf]] theming. The site announced its allegiance and dedication by handing over the site to "Lord Smugleaf".

MasterKenobi: /* Lo Siento */ new section

{{:User talk:Kenji-girl/Archive directory}}

== Lickylicky (Pokémon ==

I created the {{redlink|Lickilicky (Pokémon}} redirect page since there is a link in one of Bulbagardens's Twitter account tweets that links to Lickilicky (Pokémon. The redirect would allow those who clicked the link to properly end up on the [[Lickilicky (Pokémon)]] page. [[User:JosJuice|JosJuice]] 09:32, 25 February 2011 (UTC)
:We are not creating a redirect just for an erroneous Twitter link... --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 17:43, 25 February 2011 (UTC)

== Protection ==

Pardon me if this is an odd question, but why did you up the protection for the pages on Ash, his Pikachu, and Dawn? --[[User:Nathan2055|Nathan2055]][[User Talk:Nathan2055|talk]] 19:57, 25 February 2011 (UTC)
:[[User talk:Falk|Because of this guy]]. He keeps making new accounts and editing the content of their pages in a way that we don't want them to be. It's only on autoconfirmed so if you have been here a while, you can probably edit them. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 20:48, 25 February 2011 (UTC)

== Another Question ==

Should I make an article on moves that don't exist that they show on TCG? I know a lot of moves that were not real. If yes, can you give me a title for it? [[User:Pokedex493|Pokedex493]] 05:28, 26 February 2011 (UTC)
:That is not my department. You should talk to the head of {{bp|Project TCG}}. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 05:56, 26 February 2011 (UTC)

== Protect ==

I have archived my talk page, isn't it sopposed to be protected, if so, can you protect it please? [[User:05308|Diamond]] [[Lanturn (Pokémon)|Lanturn]] [[User talk:05308|CodeName: 05308]] 00:15, 27 February 2011 (UTC)

==Gengar Levitating?==
Could you look at the bottom section of my talk page to clarify something, please? I didn't really know what to tell him, sorry. [[User:Littlmiget123|Littlmiget123]] 21:45, 27 February 2011 (UTC)
:Personally I don't believe {{a|Levitate}} = floating in mid air. Look at {{p|Shibirudon}}. Its feet are clearly planted on the ground but its ability is Levitate. Gengar is a Ghost Pokémon so of course it possessed the ability to float even before abilities were introduced. That's just my 2¢s --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 22:06, 27 February 2011 (UTC)
::I have the same opinion. I don't really like to believe that it's an ability unless the charcters themselves state it. Attacks are one matter, and Abilities are a whole other section. [[User:Littlmiget123|Littlmiget123]] 22:21, 27 February 2011 (UTC)
:::Regarding my comment on Littlmiget's talk page, Color change has a Gen III section (which I think I added a while back), and Compoundeyes did have one previously, though it has been removed since the last time I checked. Personally, I think it should be mentioned if it is actually stated to be Levitating or Floating (since that is the Japanese name), if a Pokemon does not have to permanently levitate (like Gengar or Shibirudon, but not Haunter), or floats to avoid Ground-type attacks. I'm not sure whether other Pokemon without the actual ability (like Staryu) should be added or not. Good point about Shibirudon though, until I seen its B/W animation I didn't even notice that it had feet... '''X'''[[User:Vuvuzela2010|'''Vuvuzela2010''']]'''X''' 22:39, 27 February 2011 (UTC)
::::I highly disagree with that Color Change section. Turning invisible doesn't change its type? I always thought it was a special ability, since Kecleon can turn invisible in the games as well. I think this kinda falls into the same category as Milotic levitating. It can float through the air in the anime, but that doesn't mean that it has Levitate. I think that Color Change anime article should be taken off, however. [[User:Littlmiget123|Littlmiget123]] 23:31, 27 February 2011 (UTC)
:::::I think Colour Change in the anime is similar to Fly. In the anime, Fly does not involve using an actual attack, instead just flying (or floating) while carrying a human passenger, so Colour Change does not have to involve changing type, just colour. Also What episode does Milotic levitate in? I've only ever seeen Milotic float in the 3D Games (which obviously dosen't count, since its a fish) '''X'''[[User:Vuvuzela2010|'''Vuvuzela2010''']]'''X''' 23:47, 27 February 2011 (UTC)

Sorry for interrupting, but could you please carry on this conversation on your own talk pages? I just archived my 17th talk page and I'd really like to keep it clean. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 23:54, 27 February 2011 (UTC)

== [[Gyarados]] Art ==

I noticed you reverted an edit to Gyarados' page. By reverting the edit, you caused the page to show art from Red & Blue while saying it's art from HGSS. May I ask you why you did this? --[[User:Nathan2055|Nathan2055]][[User Talk:Nathan2055|talk]] 23:54, 27 February 2011 (UTC)
:The user removed a kana from Gyrados's name. That's what I was trying to revert. And it's art from Red and Green, not Red and Blue. It wasn't correct anyway. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 23:56, 27 February 2011 (UTC)

==Need a hand==
The user {{u|Superdog}} is making a pointless edit to the [[Cyrus]] page and doing it again after someone reverts it. Could you step in before this turns into an edit war. -[[User:Tyler53841|Tyler53841]] 00:20, 28 February 2011 (UTC)
:I just checked and he's received two edit war warnings and appears to have stopped. --[[User:Nathan2055|Nathan2055]][[User Talk:Nathan2055|talk]] 01:21, 28 February 2011 (UTC)
::No, that's because he's currently blocked [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] 01:22, 28 February 2011 (UTC)

==Sorry to keep adding sections to your talk page ^^;==
...but I have a small concern that needs to be addressed in private. You're the latest admin on the recent changes, so I decided to come to you about it. [[User:Littlmiget123|Littlmiget123]] 23:53, 28 February 2011 (UTC)
:You want to email me about it? --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 00:06, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

== Deleting message ==
I am sorry for accidentally deleting a message, I give my true apologises, --[[User:Italay90|Italay90]] 23:59, 3 March 2011 (UTC)

==Image problem==
On the [[List of Pokémon by height]] page due to the changes regarding the image sizes the sprites on the right hand side of the page no longer work. -[[User:Tyler53841|Tyler53841]] 06:31, 4 March 2011 (UTC)
:Got it. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 04:15, 5 March 2011 (UTC)

==Water Sport==
Water Sport doesn't have a Generation V section. Does it exist in Gen. V? [[User:Littlmiget123|Littlmiget123]] 00:05, 5 March 2011 (UTC)
:Yes. Nobody added it yet I guess. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 00:07, 5 March 2011 (UTC)

== Cilan's VA ==

Just wondering, where did you get Jason? I didn't see Jason in the [http://img7.imageshack.us/i/cilanva.png/ credits], but Carter instead. Although, Cilan's voice doesn't sound like Carter at all but... Anyway, what do you say? ♫♪[[User:Adyniz|'''エイデ''']][[User talk:Adyniz|'''ィニズ''']]♪♫ 04:41, 6 March 2011 (UTC)
:Those aren't the credits for this episode. They are the credits for BW002. I can tell because Juniper's VA is there but she wasn't even in [[BW005]]. Sometimes they mix up the credits on the first airing.

:If you just listen to Cilan, it is quite obvious that he is voiced by Griffith. Everyone on the forums seems to agree. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 04:50, 6 March 2011 (UTC)
::(hijacking this heading) Hey Kenji, it says [[Cress]]'s VA information is missing, now idk about you but i'm almost certain that it's Jimmy Zoppi, but i wanted to check with you before adding it. what do you think? [[Special:Contributions/Zesty Cactus|--]][[User:Zesty Cactus|'''Zesty''']][[User talk:Zesty Cactus|'''Cactus''']] 05:03, 6 March 2011 (UTC)
:::*''edit conflict''* BW022? That's hell of a jump. You're right, Jimmy's voice is way too different (Cilan has a soft tone, unlike Zoppi's voice). Anime news also credited Jason as his VA, so we're cool. Not to mention, Zoppi is voicing Cress; sounded similar to James. Thanks to Zes for throwing the idea. ♫♪[[User:Adyniz|'''エイデ''']][[User talk:Adyniz|'''ィニズ''']]♪♫ 05:08, 6 March 2011 (UTC)
::::*''another edit conflict''*I think so too but... Zoppi is tricky. I have failed so many times calling him the VA of a particular character but then it turned out it wasn't. Plus he seems to lack Zoppi's signature "unsteady" voice. I think it's best to just put it in hidden text until further confirmation.

::::*You meant BW002, not BW022, right Adyniz?--[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 05:14, 6 March 2011 (UTC)
:::::To be honest, I thought you said 22 (8P). Nevermind, there's also a typo in the credits; Jenness is credited as Jeness. ♫♪[[User:Adyniz|'''エイデ''']][[User talk:Adyniz|'''ィニズ''']]♪♫ 05:17, 6 March 2011 (UTC)

== Romaji ==

:I'm at the same level of Japanese as Dennou Zenshi. Those seem like plausible romanizations to me. And it isn't the first time Nutrey has popped up. But if you still aren't sure, you should ask {{u|Umeko}}. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 08:48, 12 March 2011 (UTC)

== Nursery Aide Trivia removal ==

Just to be clear. Were you looking at the pail on the right side of the box? or were you looking at the small item at the far left of the box? [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] 05:00, 13 March 2011 (UTC)
:The one on the left. But I just don't see Piplup anywhere in that box. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 05:51, 13 March 2011 (UTC)

== Swadloon ==

Could you take a look at [[Ash's Swadloon]] for me to make sure it's all hunky-dory? I mostly just changed the infobox and such, I didn't really touch the History because I suck at writing that stuff. :V Mostly I'd like you to take a look at the number of episodes spent as Sewaddle... is that okay, or should it just be put down as 7 episodes?

Also, I'll have to watch the episode again to confirm this, but I believe that Ash's party is - once again - uncertain. He probably switched Sewaddle in during the unaired episodes, so we don't know what he switched out... but again, I'll have to rewatch the episode some other way in order to confirm for sure.

I want to add templates for the list of Pokemon that appear on the various islands around the ornage islands, because right now the names just sitting there looks so bleh.

'''Showdown in Pewter City''' (Japanese: '''ニビジムのたたかい！''' ''Battle of {{tt|Nibi|Pewter}} Gym!'') is the fifth episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It was first broadcast in Japan on April 29, 1997 and in the United States on September 14, 1998.

{{spoilers}}

== Synopsis ==
The episode opens with [[Team Rocket]] digging a hole. After covering it, they forget exactly where the hole was dug and look around only to fall into it themselves.

Meanwhile, {{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}} and {{AP|Pikachu}} have reached the edge of the [[Viridian Forest]] and arrive on the outskirts of [[Pewter City]]. Ash is tired enough that he decides to take a rest on some conveniently placed rocks. However, a nearby man tells him that there is a fee for sitting on the rocks. His name is {{ka|Flint}}, and he is trying to sell rocks as souvenirs. Neither Ash nor Misty are interested.

They head to the [[Pokémon Center]] where Ash is surprised to encounter [[Nurse Joy]]. She explains that she is not the [[Viridian City]] Joy as Ash was obviously inclined to believe, but her older sister. She then shows Ash a poster promoting a tournament called the [[Pokémon League]] Championship and he decides to sign up. Before he can enter, however, he needs to defeat eight Pokémon [[Gym Leader]]s and earn from each a [[badge|Gym Badge]] as proof of his victory. Flint walks in at this point and tells Ash about Pewter City's Gym Leader, {{an|Brock}}. He is openly skeptical of Ash's chances of winning, and laughs scornfully at the very thought of it.

Later, Ash and Misty discuss the situation over a meal and she warns Ash that Gym Leaders are much tougher than the average trainer. She offers to help him out, but he declines. This upsets her and she storms out of the restaurant, leaving Ash with the bill.

Ash stops by the Pokémon Center again to pick up his healed [[party|team]] before making his way to the [[Pewter Gym|Gym]]. Upon arriving he and Pikachu walk inside, only to find the interior pitch black. As Ash calls out a spotlight switches on to reveal the Gym Leader, Brock, sitting cross-legged on a platform. Ash challenges Brock, who then goes over the official rules and declares that each trainer may only use two Pokémon in the match. He stands up and asks about Ash's Pikachu, calling it cute but no match for him.

Despite this, Ash begins the match with Pikachu while Brock starts off with {{TP|Brock|Onix}}. Pikachu is understandably intimidated by the giant {{t|rock}} Pokémon and tries to convince Ash to send out {{AP|Pidgeotto}} instead. Ash responds by telling Pikachu that this is its battle, and commands it to use {{m|ThunderShock}}. The {{t|electric}} attack is woefully ineffective and Brock commands Onix to counter with {{m|Bind}}. It begins to crush Pikachu, inflicting very visible pain. This prompts Ash to recall Pikachu, only to have the attempt thwarted by the larger Pokémon's bulk. Ash cannot bear to watch his friend suffer any more agony, and forfeits the match.

As the dejected Ash leaves the Gym he encounters Flint, who suggests that he follow him to his home. Ash agrees, and over a batch of tea they discuss what happened in the Gym. Flint notices that Ash is obviously upset over his loss, so he consoles him with the knowledge that Brock could be an even better trainer than he already is. Confused, Ash asks why Brock is not living up to his potential. Flint decides to let Ash see for himself rather than explain.

Flint leads Ash outside and gestures across the way to another house. The two watch as Brock, in a pink apron, cares for his [[Brock's siblings|nine little brothers and sisters]]. As they walk away Flint explains that after Brock's good-for-nothing father left home to become a Pokémon trainer his heartbroken mother abandoned them, leaving the eldest Brock to take care of his siblings. Ash empathizes with Brock, but is determined to defeat him. Flint recognizes that determination and mentions that he might know of a way Ash can super-charge Pikachu.

They go to a hydro-electric plant where Flint hooks up the generator to the electric sacs in Pikachu's cheeks. As the river is bone-dry, Ash must run on a large water wheel to generate the electricity, which flows into Pikachu. Misty shows up and offers to lend Ash her {{type2|Water}} Pokémon, but Ash refuses, wanting to defeat Brock with his own team. He continues charging Pikachu until the generator overloads and Pikachu's electricity lights up the the night sky.

The next day, Ash returns with confidence to the Pewter City Gym for a rematch. Brock was also confident from the last battle, and the two quickly start the rematch. Brock sends out {{TP|Brock|Geodude}}, while Ash sends out {{AP|Pidgeotto}}. However, the {{type2|Flying}} can't seem to harm the Rock-type, so Ash recalls him and sends out Pikachu. Misty is seen in the rafters, cheering for Ash, only to be crowded by Brock's siblings.

Brock comments on how weak Pikachu and Ash were, and Ash retorts by commanding Pikachu's attack, which easily knocks Geodude down. Both Brock and Misty are stunned, staring open-mouthed. Brock recalls his Geodude and sends out Onix, and a fearful Pikachu tries to do another Electric attack, damaging the gym itself instead. Onix wraps Pikachu with Bind, but Pikachu makes a comeback with his new attack, {{m|Thunderbolt}}, which manages to hurt Onix but still couldn't take it out. Just as Pikachu is about to pass out, Brock suddenly spares it by calling Onix off. He tells Ash to forfeit again, not wanting to cause further damage to Pikachu. Ash protests, wanting to fight the match to the end.

Suddenly, the gym's sprinklers are set off by a fire caused by Pikachu's earlier Electric attack. Water sprays all over Onix, weakening him and allowing Pikachu to fight back with another Electric attack. Just as Ash is about to command Pikachu to finish Onix off, he finds he can't move. Brock's brothers and sisters are all holding Ash in place, which Ash believes was his conscience. Brock orders his brothers and sisters to not get involved, but they protest, knowing that Brock's love of Pokémon made it painful for him to continue the match and watch his Onix get hurt further.

Ash calls back his Pikachu. He explains that if he defeated Brock now, it would only be because of the sprinklers being set off. He decides he wants to win his badge fair and square, much to Misty's disappointment since he is giving up a lucky advantage.

Ash left the Pewter Gym, and on his way out of Pewter City, he apologizes to Pikachu for being so tough. He hears someone calling him, and turns to find Brock running to catch up with him and give him the {{Badge|Boulder}}. Ash says he can't accept the badge, but Brock insists Ash earned it through his kindness to Pokémon. Brock continues to explain that rather than becoming a great Pokémon trainer, his dream is to become a Pokémon breeder, but can't do so because of his family duties. He gives Ash the badge, and asks him to fulfill his dream, and Ash agrees.

Suddenly, Flint shows up again, and reveals that he is Brock's "good-for-nothing" father. He explains that he didn't want to return to his family as a failure of a Pokémon trainer. Ash puzzles over the fact that Flint helped him instead of his son, Brock, and Flint explains that Ash's helplessness reminded him of himself. Flint was ready to take back the responsibilities he abandoned, which Brock returns to him, along with a long list of tasks for him to remember while taking care of the children.

That evening, Ash and Brock travel on the road out of Pewter City. Brock asks to make sure it's okay that he joins Ash on his Pokémon journey, and Ash insists that he is glad to have him along. However, Misty is a different story, and from several paces behind she yells at him to not forget about her [[bicycle|bike]]. Ash and Pikachu try to ditch Misty, followed by Brock and the angry girl herself.

Team Rocket show up at the end for a final cameo, trampled by {{ashfr|Ash and his friends}} as they run over the hole in the ground, unaware of the people underfoot.

== Trivia ==
* This episode introduces Team Rocket's hole gag.
* This is the first of few episodes where [[Team Rocket]] appears but has no bearing on the plot.
* This episode introduced the most named, recurring [[list of anime characters|characters]] in the entire anime. However, given that it introduced [[Brock's siblings]], it has an unfair advantage over other episodes. If [[Gary's cheerleaders]] had ever been named, the honor would go to [[EP001|the first episode]].
* This is one of the few episodes where Ash tries to return Pikachu to its [[Poké Ball]].
* The poster in the Pokémon Center uses type symbols from the TCG, specifically (from top to bottom) the Electric, Psychic, Grass, Fighting, Fire, and Water symbols.
* This episode is featured on the ''Volume 20: Onix'' copy of [[Pokémon All-Stars]].
* Three days after this episode aired in [[dub|English]], Ash had the [[EP063|battle for his eight badge]] in the Japanese episode.
* Two of Brock's siblings are about as tall as Pikachu.

=== Errors ===
* As Ash attempts in returning Pikachu back into its Poké Ball, the lightning bolt mark is missing.
* Ash's advantage over Brock should not have technically worked. {{type2|Ground}} Pokémon are always immune to {{type2|Electric}} [[move]]s, no matter how strong the attack or how weakened the opposing Pokémon. This is the first of many times Pikachu's Electric attacks [[Anime physics|defy type match-ups]] to change the results of the battle.
** Oddly, in [[DP016]] when Pikachu once again battled an Onix, Ash actually states that electric attacks would have no effect.
* Flint says that Brock has ten little brothers and sisters when he only has nine.
* Flint says that the river is dry at this time of year; however, when the camera zooms out a full river is clearly shown.
* Before Ash's first battle with Brock, right before Brock switches the lights of the gym on, Ash's eyes appear red.
* When Pikachu is getting charged at the hydroelectric plant, the electric current is shown to be going from the machine to Pikachu through both wires. This is physically impossible; the current should flow through one wire to Pikachu and back to the machine through the other wire, completing the circuit.
* At the hydroelectric plant, the current coursing through Pikachu increases more and more despite the fact that Ash keeps the waterwheel rotating at constant speed. This violates conservation of energy.

=== Dub edits ===

* Flint charges a $2 fee for sitting on his rocks, or ¥50 in the Japanese version.
* Various pieces of text were changed to English:
** The unreadable (due to the position of the camera) signs at Flint's shop were changed to "SALE".
** The poster in the Pokémon Center was translated, emulating the font and style of the letters exactly.
** The restaurant bill was changed from ¥1150 to $1150. The bottom of the bill is changed from "Restaurant Nibi" to "Thank You".
** The "Nibi Gym" sign was changed to say "Pewter Gym".
** The sign outside Flint's house changed from "We have rocks" to "ROCKS FOR SALE".
* Instead of saying Brock's mother left the family to Brock's care, Flint tells Ash that she died after trying to raise the family on her own. This resulted in an inconsistency in the English dub, as Brock's mother, [[Lola]] appears in ''[[SS001|A Family That Battles Together Stays Together!]]'' as well as in several other episodes afterward.
** Also, originally there were nine brothers and sisters, not ten, as the dub would lead one to believe.

'''Pokémon - I Choose You!''' (Japanese: '''ポケモン！きみにきめた！''' ''Pokémon! I Choose You!'') is the very first episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. In the US, however, the first episode shown was ''[[EP015|Battle Aboard the St. Anne]]''. It was first broadcast in Japan on April 1, 1997 and in the United States on September 8, 1998.

{{spoilers}}

==Synopsis==
The episode begins the same way as {{game|Red and Green|s}}, down to the style of the images and the sound. A {{p|Nidorino}} and a {{p|Gengar}} are exchanging attacks in a {{pkmn|battle}}. After Nidorino dodges Gengar's attack, it leaps at it. At the same time, the [[Pokémon games|game]] starts to come to life, with the small frame enlarging into the entire screen, and the monochrome [[Pokémon]] fading into color.

The two are battling in a stadium at the [[Pokémon League]], watched by crowds of fans. Gengar dodges Nidorino's {{m|Horn Attack}}, and then jumps on its head to make an opening to put it to sleep with {{m|Hypnosis}}. As Nidorino falls {{status|Sleep|asleep}}, its {{pkmn|Trainer}} recalls it into its [[Poké Ball]], and then throws out another to take its place. The Gengar jumps back as an {{p|Onix}} comes out. It tries to {{m|Tackle}} into Gengar face-first, but misses and hits the battlefield instead. It pulls back up, unfazed.

This battle is being watched on television by a boy from [[Pallet Town]] named [[Ash Ketchum]]. He is now ten years old, which means he can become a [[Pokémon Trainer]]. Tomorrow, he will receive a [[starter Pokémon]] from {{an|Professor Oak}} and start his Pokémon journey, the first step on the long quest of his dream of becoming a [[Pokémon master]].

[[Delia Ketchum|His mother]] enters the room and reminds him that it is 11 o'clock at night, and that he should be asleep. He complains that he is too excited to fall asleep. As a compromise, his mother changes his television's channel to [[Professor Oak's lecture]], and tells him to go to bed when the program is finished.

That night, he dreams about the starter Pokémon as he tries to decide which one he wants. First, he dreams of choosing and sending out {{p|Bulbasaur}}, and then {{p|Squirtle}}. The night turns to morning, and Ash, still in bed, dreams about if he chose {{p|Charmander}}. Suddenly, he bolts awake to find that he threw his {{p|Voltorb}}-shaped alarm clock in his sleep, and it had smashed against the wall. Afraid that he might have overslept, Ash bolted out of his house in his pajamas and ran as fast as he could to [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]].

Outside the laboratory, a crowd of people had gathered, including a group of {{TP|Gary|cheerleaders}}. Ash pushes through and bumps into his [[rival]], a boy who is the grandson of the professor, [[Gary Oak]]. Gary taunts Ash for being late. He tells Ash that he has already received his starter Pokémon from his grandfather. He boasts to the crowd that he will make Pallet Town famous by becoming a Pokémon master. Ash, however, is more interested in finding out what starter Gary chose. Gary tells him that it was the best one, and then leaves in a red sports car, followed by the crowd.

Before Ash can say anything about how upset he was by his rival, Professor Oak approaches him. Ash drops his anger and asks about getting a Pokémon. Professor Oak seems doubtful that he is ready, since he showed up in his pajamas, but Ash insists that he is ready.

Inside Oak's laboratory, three Poké Balls were set up on a storage device, with a place for a fourth in the center. Ash decides that he would like to start with Squirtle, but when he opens the Poké Ball, he found that it was empty. Professor Oak tells him it was taken by a [[Gary Oak|Trainer who was not late]]. After this, he decides he would like Bulbasaur, but this Poké Ball is also empty. He has no choice but to go for the last choice, Charmander, but the final Poké Ball is also empty. The three were all taken by Trainers who arrived on time, and it seems that there is no Pokémon left for Ash.

Professor Oak mentions that he has another Pokémon, but that there is a problem with it. Ash wants it anyway. In the fourth spot in the middle, a Poké Ball appears that has a lightning bolt mark on it. Oak picks it up and hands the Poké Ball to Ash. The ball opens, and in a burst of lighting, [[Ash's Pikachu|Pikachu]] comes out of the ball. Ash loves the cute Pokémon, and picks it up and hugs it. Pikachu does not like this, and shocks him with an {{t|Electric}} attack. Oak hands Ash a [[Pokédex]] and six Poké Balls, but gets shocked as well when he touches Ash.

When Ash steps outside the laboratory, he finds a small crowd has gathered to cheer him on as well, including his mother, who is sad to see him leaving. She gives him his [[bag]] full of supplies, and starts explaining everything she packed for him. He gets embarrassed when she reminds him to change his underwear everyday and pulls his bag away from her, telling her she was embarrassing him. She sees Pikachu, and wonders why it is not in its Poké Ball. Ash tries to get it in, but it hits the ball back every time. Ash's mother says it is cute that Ash and Pikachu are playing catch, and that they must be great friends already. Ash replies that they are buddies, despite Pikachu's behavior. His mother calls it weird, and taking offense at her comment, Pikachu shocks the entire crowd (excluding Professor Oak) with its electricity.

Soon, Ash sets off, trying to get a handle on the rebellious Pokémon by wearing rubber gloves and dragging it with a clothesline leash. After getting tired of dragging it along, he tries to talk to it and find out what is wrong, only to find out that Pikachu cannot say anything but its name. He tries to convince it to get back in its Poké Ball, and pulls out his new Pokédex for information on it. His Pokédex explains that Pokémon must be kept in the Poké Ball. Then Pikachu clicks it and it explains that not all Pokémon like to be kept in Poké Balls. Ash decides to earn Pikachu's trust by treating it nicely, and he unties the clothesline and takes off his rubber gloves. Pikachu turns away.

Then, a {{p|Pidgey}} walks out near them, and Ash scans it with his Pokédex for more information. He is eager to catch it, though Pikachu does not want to help him and instead runs up a tree. Frustrated, Ash decides to catch the Pidgey without Pikachu's help. He throws a Poké Ball at it, but the Pidgey breaks out easily. The Pokédex explains that a Pokémon should be weakened before it can be caught. Pikachu laughs at Ash. He tries again. This time, he attempts to throw his pajama shirt on top of the Pidgey, but the bird blows him off with a {{m|Gust}} and then hits him with a {{m|Sand-Attack}} before it flies away. Pikachu laughs at Ash more. Ash turns and sees that a {{p|Rattata}} is digging through his bag. He scans it with his Pokédex, which mentions that Rattata is a forest Pokémon. Just as Ash questions why it came out into the field, the Pokédex explains that it sometimes leaves its habitat to steal from ''stupid'' travelers. Pikachu laughs at Ash even more.

Ash turns and notices a group of Pidgey in the field. He throws a rock at them, which only scares them away. However, he sees another bird Pokémon in the field and throws another rock at it, which hits it in the back of its head. When it turns to look at him, however, he realized that he did not hit a Pidgey; he scans it with his Pokédex and learns that it is a {{p|Spearow}}, which is considerably less friendly than a Pidgey. The Spearow swoops several times to attack him, and then spots and targets Pikachu instead. The Pokédex explains that wild Pokémon are sometimes jealous of trained Pokémon. Just as the Spearow is about to knock Pikachu out of the tree, Pikachu shocks it with an Electric attack, knocking it out of the sky.

The Spearow, however, cries for help, and Ash and Pikachu start running away from a flock of angry Spearow. Pikachu ran ahead of Ash, and the Spearow fly after it, attacking it until it fell to the ground. The Spearow start swarming around it, but Ash grabs his injured Pikachu and runs straight to a waterfall. He jumps into the river below to escape the Spearow, and is being dragged into a large pond, narrowly swimming out of the path of a {{p|Gyarados}}.

On the shore of this pond, a {{an|Misty|girl}} is [[fishing]], and is excited to find that she has a bite. However, instead of a {{type2|Water}} Pokémon, she pulls out Ash and Pikachu. She does not care about Ash, but is very concerned about the injured Pokémon in his arms. She tells him that he needs to take it to the [[Pokémon Center]] in [[Viridian City]], and points out the way to go. However, he hears the distant cries of Spearow, and turns to see the flock in the sky, flying toward him. He steals the girl's [[bicycle|bike]], putting the Pikachu in its basket, and rides away, promising that he would bring it back someday. The girl screams at him as he rides away, but he ignores her.

He quickly starts to ride to Viridian City, with storm clouds forming above him and the flock of Spearow in close pursuit. Soon, it starts to rain. Ash rides the bike over a ledge, and it falls on its side, which knocks Ash and Pikachu off. Ash finds himself looking at his injured Pikachu lying on the ground, with the Spearow approaching and the storm growing worse. Desperate to save his Pokémon, he leaves Pikachu's Poké Ball next to it, and then stands before the Spearow, telling them to attack him in order to give Pikachu time to get inside its ball where it would be safe. However, just as the Spearow are about to dive on Ash, Pikachu leaps up and over Ash's shoulder. It jumps at the flock of Spearow. The lightning from the storm is drawn to Pikachu, highly raising its potential and strength by vast amounts, and it uses a massive electrical attack to take out the entire flock, as well as the girl's bike. Pikachu is drained of stamina from the effort.

Once the storm has cleared, Ash and Pikachu both rise from where they were knocked back on the ground, exhausted but victorious. Ash looks up and sees {{an|Ho-Oh|an unknown Pokémon}} majestically flying through the sky, over the rainbow that had been left after the storm, but his Pokédex could not identify the species.

He continues on, carrying his new friend Pikachu, who licks him while in his arms as he walks the rest of the way to Viridian City, knowing that something big is ahead of them; something to fight for.

==Trivia==
[[File:Ho-Oh Debut.png|right|thumb|200px|{{an|Ho-Oh}} in its debut]]
* The legendary bird Ash saw at the ending of the episode was {{an|Ho-Oh}}. This makes Ho-Oh the first [[Generation II]] Pokémon seen in the series, and in the first episode of the entire series.
* The beginning of the episode features sound effects from the original [[Game Boy]] games, drawing from the opening animation from {{game|Red and Green|s}} (with a {{p|Gengar}} battling a {{p|Nidorino}}) before moving seamlessly into the battle that Ash himself is watching on TV.
** The remakes, {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, reveal the original battle to be happening in the forest, however, rather than a stadium.
* The shadowed Trainer shown at the very beginning of the episode with the Nidorino and Onix is possibly [[Bruno]].
* Ash has a {{p|Voltorb}} clock, with a cuckoo clock {{p|Pidgey}} in it. Furthermore, he ends up breaking it in his sleep, using it as a Poké Ball, shortly after 4 AM.
* This is the only time when one can see Pikachu in its own [[Poké Ball]].
* This is the first episode in which Ash's Pokédex is activated while it is closed.
* In this episode, it is revealed that {{p|Spearow}} see in black and white.
* Ash tries and fails to capture a Pidgey, though he will [[EP003|later]] succeed in capturing {{AP|its evolution|Pidgeot}}.
* Despite this episode centering around receiving a starter Pokémon, neither {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, or {{p|Squirtle}} actually appeared in the flesh until ''[[EP010|Bulbasaur and the Hidden Village]]'', ''[[EP011|Charmander – The Stray Pokémon]]'', and ''[[EP012|Here Comes the Squirtle Squad]]'', respectively. This is unlike the following generations where at least two of the starter Pokémon appeared in the first episode of that generation.
[[File:Green Pokeball.png|thumb|right|200px|The green Poké Ball]]
* This is one of the few episodes where [[Rachael Lillis]] provides the voice of Pikachu in a few scenes. This happened when another character spoke over [[Ikue Ohtani]]'s Pikachu voice and the audio could not be saved.
* This is the only main series episode that does not have [[Team Rocket]] in it until [[AG120]], a clip show that summed up the entire {{series|Advanced Generation}} up to that point. It is also the only dubbed main series episode that does not have [[Team Rocket]] in it, due to [[AG120]] being skipped in the dub.
* This episode can be found on the third [[GBA video]].
* Professor Oak knew that at least four new Trainers would be receiving their starter Pokémon and beginning their journey. However, he only ever thought to stock three (a Bulbasaur, a Charmander, and a Squirtle) not counting Pikachu, who is seen as a "last resort." Professor Oak states that if Ash was early, there would be one for him. However, even if Ash ''was'' earlier (the third to arrive), any of the other Trainers would arrive fourth to find that Oak is fresh out of Pokémon, except for Pikachu.
**Although this can be explained after the events of the 4th movie.
* The book ''[[I Choose You!]]'' is based on this episode.
* This episode is featured on the ''Volume 1: Pikachu'' copy of [[Pokémon All-Stars]].
* Ash's introductory shot from this episode is repeated in [[BW001|the first episode]] of the {{series|Best Wishes}} as a throwback to this episode.
** Several other shots from the ''Best Wishes'' series are throwbacks to the [[original series]] in general.
* Ash's Pokédex insults him in this episode; After a Rattata steals Ash's food, the Pokédex states that Rattata steal from stupid travelers, while seeming to put emphasis on the word "stupid".

===Errors===
* In the original, the Pokédex misidentifies Pidgey as the ''Sky Pokémon'', instead of the ''Tiny Bird Pokémon''.
* In the beginning, Pikachu's Poké Ball has a lightning bolt mark on it,
but later the mark is removed for an unknown reason.
* When Ash sees a {{p|Rattata}} for the first time, Ash's Pokédex mispronounces its name.
* When Ash runs up to Misty's bike, his shoes are not painted, making it look like he has socks on. Then, when he puts Pikachu on her bike, his shoes are painted red like Misty's.
* When Ash is carrying Pikachu to the nearest Pokémon Center, [[Ash's hat|his hat]] is initially forwards. In the next two scenes, it is backwards. In the last scene, Ash's hat is facing forwards again.
* When Ash opens his Pokédex for the first time, the directional buttons disappeared.
* The sneakers that [[Delia Ketchum|Ash's mother]] hands him are the same ones he was wearing when he ran to get his Pokémon.
* When Ash is standing in front of the Spearow trying to protect Pikachu, he says "Spearows", but when talking about more than one of a specific species of Pokémon, one doesn't put an "s" at the end.
* When Professor Oak appears on television to discuss the starter Pokémon, the background colors behind {{p|Charmander}} and {{p|Squirtle}} are reversed (blue behind Charmander and red behind Squirtle). {{p|Bulbasaur}}'s background color, green, is correctly shown.
* After Ash opens Charmander's Poké Ball in Oak's lab, part of Oak's suit unnaturally pulsates while Oak delivers his line.
* In Ash's dreams, for all of the starter Pokémon, all of the Poké Balls are red all over apart from the middle stripe, which is black, but in the next scenes they retain their coloration of red, black and white.
* When Pikachu is up in the tree, Ash's coat loses its yellow stripes, although, later on, he retains the stripes.
* As Delia catches the alarm clock Ash threw her ponytail is curled around to her left shoulder. However, when we see her from behind her ponytail is curled to her right shoulder.
* When Ash places Pikachu's Poké Ball on the ground next to Pikachu, his thumb passes right through it when he stands up to face the flock of Spearow.

===Dub edits===
[[File:Misty Slap.png|right|thumb|200px||The cut shot]]
* When Ash goes into Professor Oak's lab and looks at the Poké Balls, they are all labeled in Japanese. Later, when Ash picks up a Poké Ball, the labels are painted over. These labels are also partially visible when Pikachu's Poké Ball is revealed.
* In the unedited/Japanese version, after Ash said to {{an|Misty}}, "I'm okay," she slapped him. This was cut from the [[dub]] (the screen freezes just as Ash answers Misty) due to direct violence controversy. In the next scene, Ash can clearly be seen rubbing his aching face and Misty has her hand in the air.
* In the Japanese version, Misty tells Ash there is a hospital in [[Viridian City]]; in the dub, she just says that it is nearby.
* When Delia switches the channel on Ash's TV, Professor Oak is talking about tomorrow being the newest day for Pokémon students. However, in the whole view of the TV when Ash moves his head into view; Charmander, Bulbasaur and Squirtle have their Japanese names written below each picture. But when the camera zooms in on each picture and then eases out, the Japanese names are gone.
* When Ash speaks to Gary in the English dub, Gary acts as though they have never met when they have in fact known each other since their early childhood.

'''Ash Ketchum''' (Japanese: '''サトシ''' ''Satoshi'') is the main character of both the [[Pokémon anime]] and the ''[[Electric Tale of Pikachu]]'' manga, and is believed to be based on the {{ga|Red|protagonist}} of the [[Generation I| first generation]] Pokémon games.

He shares his Japanese name—which can be taken to mean "wisdom" or "reason" (智)—with the creator of the [[Pokémon]] franchise, [[Satoshi Tajiri]]. His English surname is a pun of the original English motto, "[[Gotta catch 'em all!|Gotta Catch 'em All!]]."

==In the anime==
===Character===
[[File:Anime Ash.png|200px|thumb|Ash Ketchum in the [[original series]]]]
Ash's main goal in life, as described in [[EP001|the first episode]], is to be the world's greatest [[Pokémon master|Pokémon Master]]. Ash began his journey at the age of 10 as a warm-hearted and well-intentioned but stubborn, rash and amateurish [[Pokémon Trainer]]. He was forced to accept the cheeky {{AP|Pikachu}} from {{an|Professor Oak}} as his [[starter Pokémon]] because he carelessly broke his alarm clock in his sleep and woke up late on the day he was set to get his first Pokémon. He was determined to achieve his goal, however, and when Pikachu saw that he was willing to compromise his own safety to keep it safe he formed a strong bond of friendship with Pikachu. This would set his course for the future.
[[File:Ash fleeing spearow.png|thumb|left|200px|Ash trying to keep Pikachu safe]]
However, from that point, Ash still had a lot to learn about becoming a Trainer. The [[Ash's Butterfree|first Pokémon]] he {{pkmn2|caught}}, was caught by luck, as he knew absolutely nothing about [[Pokémon battle|battling]], and was hesitant to admit it whenever he was wrong. Many of his first [[Gym]] [[badge]]s were given to him merely out of gratitude for his assistance rather than claiming an actual victory in battle over the [[Gym Leader]]s; of his first five gym battles, only his victory over [[Lt. Surge]] was an actual victory. Every time he thought he was doing well, he would somehow cross paths with his childhood [[rival]], [[Gary Oak]]. He always reminded Ash that he was always a step or seven behind, with Gary catching around forty-five Pokémon by the time Ash had only caught his {{AP|seventh|Kingler}}. This hampered matters further when, owing to his inexperience, his {{AP|Charizard}}, his most powerful Pokémon, refused to listen to him until [[EP105|Ash could prove himself]] to the powerful Fire-type.

Over time, Ash's dedication to his goal paid off. After earning his first eight badges he went on to compete in the [[Indigo League]], advancing to the fifth round - one further than Gary, and ending up in the top 16. After recovering from his defeat, he continued on to improve his skills; take on new challenges; and compete in more [[Pokémon League]] competitions - triumphing in the [[Orange League]] and the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}.

[[File:Ash AG.png|200px|thumb|left|Ash in the {{series|Advanced Generation}}]]
Ash has changed a great deal over the course of the series, particularly in regards to his skill at [[Pokémon training]], but his earnestness, rashness, and determination have remained. Never straying from his goal, he has remained loyal to {{ashfr|his friends}}, his family, and his supporters, but most of all his Pokémon. Ash became a great Trainer by learning to find and use the inner strength of each of his Pokémon by bonding with them. For example, when he received a banner filled with prints from his Pokémon in ''[[AG187|The Unbeatable Lightness of Seeing!]]'', he knew which Pokémon placed specific prints, showing his close bond with them. He also learns where their hidden abilities lie, as well as resorting to unorthodox strategies when fighting particularly challenging opponents. For example, he uses his Pikachu's speed to outmaneuver larger foes and attack. In another instance, his {{AP|Charizard}} defeated [[Gary's Blastoise]] by causing the field to overheat before mounting a close-quarters attack while Blastoise was blinded by the steam. He also prefers to train a Pokémon to be the best it can without forcing it to [[Evolution|evolve]], as evidenced by his treatment of {{AP|Gligar|Gliscor}} in ''[[DP085|Fighting Fear With Fear!]]''. He is happy when his Pokémon evolve but lets them choose whether or not they want to evolve instead of forcing them.
[[File:AshAura.png|thumb|right|250px|Ash using Aura inside the [[Tree of Beginning]]]]
Early on, Ash originally trained not to further himself but instead to catch more Pokémon than Gary. He later slowed his pace which allowed him to focus on the individual traits of each Pokémon. At the [[Johto]] League [[Silver Conference]], with great humility and maturity, Ash finally won a battle against his old rival, signifying a great milestone in his history. His maturity has also increased in his dealings with Pokémon. This is shown when [[Ash's Primeape|a Mankey]] stole his {{AP|hat}} in ''[[EP025|Primeape Goes Bananas]]'', he screamed and yelled at it, even climbing trees just to get his hat back, but when [[Dawn's Ambipom|an Aipom]] did the same in ''[[AG179|Slaking Kong]]'', he stated merely that he would feel strange without a hat. When Aipom stole his hat again in ''[[DP009|Setting the World on its Buneary]]'', however, while it was under his ownership, he chased after it in the same manner as before.

In most episodes of the anime, especially those during the Johto League saga, Ash befriends someone who will influence him and cause him to strive to become a better Trainer. Although he is not a dependent individual, he is still young and has learned to make his way relying on his {{AP|friends}}, particularly the maternal skills of Brock. The honor of "best friend" is usually reserved for Pikachu but Ash has come to see his closest human friends in the same light over time; using the term for {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}} in ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later]]'' as well as {{an|May}} and [[Max]] in ''[[AG178|Battling the Enemy Within]]''.

He has traversed much of the [[Pokémon world]] and has thus far participated in four [[Pokémon League#Championship competitions|Pokémon League regional competitions]], but he is still learning new things about Pokémon all the time.
[[File:SatoshiDP.png|thumb|right|200px|Ash in the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}]]
Ash has gained a close connection with many [[legendary Pokémon]], including {{an|Mewtwo}}, {{an|Ho-Oh}}, {{OBP|Lugia|movie 2}}, {{OBP|Latias|movie 5}}, [[Lake guardians (anime)#Azelf|Azelf]], {{OBP|Shaymin|movie 11}}, {{an|Giratina}} and {{an|Arceus}}. In the English dub of the [[M02|second movie]], he was revealed to be "The Chosen One" - the one who would bring balance back to the world when it was disrupted. Although viewed as a normal human, Ash does have some special abilities, as he is said to have the same [[aura]] as [[Sir Aaron]], a legendary hero, and is theoretically able to manipulate it in much the same way. However, he has not received any training in this field, opting to continue his Pokémon journey instead. He has also been likened to an ancient [[aura]] guardian in ''[[DP056|The Keystone Pops!]]'', who also had a partner {{p|Pikachu}}. Later, in ''[[DP071|Pokémon Ranger and the Kidnapped Riolu! Parts 1]]'' and ''[[DP072|2]]'', Ash uses aura again to locate a lost {{p|Riolu}} and read Riolu's mind as well.
[[File:AshWallace.png|thumb|left|200px|Ash in the [[Wallace Cup]]]]
Ash has also participated in contests. He has a [[Contest Pass]] for the [[Sinnoh]] region, though he has stated that the contest he got it for was the only one he intends on entering. He also has one for the Hoenn region as it was required to watch one of the contests held there. Ash carries half of a broken [[Poké Ball]] with him everywhere, while Gary has the other half, as a symbol of their ongoing, but now friendly, rivalry; [[Misty's special lure]], which she sent to him as a gift; and half of a ribbon he received in a contest against May before she left the group to compete in Johto. Ash also participated in the [[Wallace Cup]] on the suggestion of [[Wallace]] but he lost in the third round.

Ash soon obtained all of the Sinnoh Gym badges. During his battles in the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]], he managed to advance to the Top 4, during which time he defeated his long-time Sinnoh rival [[Paul]] for the first time, and fought against [[Tobias]], becoming the only known Trainer to defeat his {{p|Darkrai}}. Though he lost later on in the battle, he seems to be okay with losing, as he has become closer to his Pokémon than ever before. Ash, {{an|Dawn}}, and Brock then set off on their own paths to follow their respective dreams, with Brock saying he will no longer be joining Ash on his next journey.

In the {{series|Best Wishes}}, Ash came with Professor Oak and his mom on a trip to the [[Unova]] region. After losing in a battle to [[Trip]] and seeing the power of the legendary {{p|Zekrom}}, Ash became interested in traveling Unova to meet new Pokémon, as well as new friends. He is now currently in journey in [[Unova]], first bringing along only his Pikachu as he did in Hoenn and planned to in [[Sinnoh]].

===Family===
[[File:Younger Ash DP138.png|thumb|left|250px|A young Ash]]
Ash lived with his mother, [[Delia Ketchum]], until he left for his Pokémon journey at the age of ten.

His father was never introduced. The anime suggests that his father was once a Pokémon Trainer who began his journey in Pallet Town, and that he is still living. An interview with the series' storyboarder confirmed Ash's father is a Trainer on his own journey. According to the same storyboarder, Ash's father may or may not be introduced in the series, depending on its necessity to Ash's further maturity and development as a Trainer.

Ash is an only child, breaking from the tradition of several other main characters, with the exception of {{an|Dawn}} and possibly {{Tracey}} and {{an|Iris}}, whose siblings are often a foil or focal point in their lives.

===Pokémon===
As a Trainer, Ash has captured and befriended a sizable number of Pokémon over the course of the anime. His philosophy on {{pkmn|training}} is that Pokémon are individuals and that a combination of trust, friendship and hard work are needed to overcome adversity. He seems to battle best with Pokémon that are similar to Pikachu: ones that are [[Appendix:Metagame terminology#Sweeper|speedy and maneuverable, yet able to perform high-powered attacks]]; however, he is willing to work with any Pokémon that comes into his care. Ash's battle style is generally spontaneous and fairly unorthodox, and his Pokémon often reflect these traits.

==In the manga==
===In the Ash and Pikachu manga===
Ash is a starring character in [[Ash and Pikachu]], a manga series based on the [[Johto]] saga of the Pokémon anime.

===In The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga===
[[File:Ash Ketchum Electric Tale.png|thumb|right|Ash in the [[Electric Tale of Pikachu]] manga]]
Ash Ketchum is a starring character in [[Electric Tale of Pikachu|The Electric Tale of Pikachu]], a manga series based on the anime. Ash's journey in The Electric Tale of Pikachu follows roughly the same plot as in the anime: first traveling the [[Kanto]] region to participate in the [[Pokémon League]], before embarking on a journey around the [[Orange Archipelago]].

While there are many similarities between the anime and manga versions of Ash, there are several differences as well. For example, while the anime version of Ash appears to be indifferent to love and romance, the manga version of Ash has a huge crush on Gary's sister, [[Daisy Oak|May Oak]]. He is also prone to quickly falling in love just like Brock, but to a much more subtle or less extreme degree.

Ash's appearance differs in the manga as well. He wears a red jacket, much like {{ga|Red}}'s, instead of the blue he wears in the anime. Also, for the duration of the [[Electric Tale of Pikachu volume 1|first volume]], he wears a different hat, which is solid red with a "PM" on the front. Beginning in ''[[ET05|The Human Race and the Pokémon Race]]'', his hat is changed to match the one he wears in the anime.

Ash owns many of the same Pokémon as in the anime, with a few exceptions: he captures a {{AP|Fearow}} and an {{p|Oddish}}. He also captures a {{p|Mankey}}, which he trades to a shady salesman for a map of [[Mt. Moon]], and a giant {{p|Slowpoke}}, which he trades to [[Gary Oak]].

Ash, along with {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}}, make cameo appearances in bonus chapters of the [[Magical Pokémon Journey]] manga. In the bonus chapters, Ash and co. have mistakenly wandered into the world Magical Pokémon Journey is set in. The bonus chapters chronicle their attempts to return to their own world (of the {{pkmn|anime}}) and their encounters with various aspects of the Magical Pokémon Journey canon which differ from the anime's canon (such as the use of [[Poké Ball]]s).

==Trivia==
===Pokémon===
[[File:Ash catches a Pokemon.png|thumb|250px|Ash after catching a Pokémon]]
* Ash typically catches similar teams in each region he travels through.
** Ash's teams often feature the starter Pokémon of each region. In the [[Timeline of events in the anime#Kanto|Kanto]], [[Timeline of events in the anime#Johto|Johto]] and [[Timeline of events in the anime#Unova|Unova]] story arcs, Ash managed to capture all three of the starter Pokémon for all three regions.
** He has caught each [[generation]]'s {{type2|Grass}} [[starter Pokémon]]: {{AP|Bulbasaur}}, {{AP|Chikorita|Bayleef}}, {{AP|Treecko|Sceptile}}, {{AP|Turtwig|Torterra}} and {{AP|Snivy}}
** He also caught the three {{type2|Fire}} [[starter Pokémon]] whose English names begin with a 'C' and whose Japanese names begin with a ヒ ''hi'': {{AP|Charmander|Charizard}} (''Hitokage''), {{AP|Cyndaquil|Quilava}} (''Hinoarashi''), and {{AP|Chimchar|Infernape}} (''Hikozaru'').
** He always catches each region's local bird-like Pokémon: {{AP|Pidgeotto|Pidgeot}} in Kanto, {{AP|Noctowl}} in Johto, {{AP|Taillow|Swellow}} in Hoenn, {{AP|Starly|Staraptor}} in Sinnoh, and {{AP|Pidove|Tranquill}} in Unova. Thus far, Ash has evolved each species to its final form, except for {{AP|Pidove|Tranquill}}, which was only captured recently, and Noctowl, who was captured in its final form.
** Ash has two fully-evolved {{type2|Grass}} [[starter Pokémon]] ({{AP|Sceptile}} and {{AP|Torterra}}) and two fully-evolved {{type2|Fire}} starter Pokémon ({{AP|Charizard}} and {{AP|Infernape}}). None of his {{type2|Water}} starter Pokémon have evolved at all, or even indicated their desire to.
** He has caught, befriended, used, or otherwise had under his command at least one Pokémon of every type except for the {{t|Steel}} type.
** In addition, Ash always manages to catch at least one {{type2|Grass}}, {{type2|Fire}}, {{type2|Water}} and {{type2|Flying}} by the [[Pokémon League]] of each region. {{AP|Pikachu}} also always accompanies Ash, and as a result he always has an {{type2|Electric}} as well.
* Ash has caught at least two starter Pokémon in each region except [[Hoenn]] where he only caught {{AP|Treecko|Sceptile}}.
* Ash has encountered every legendary Pokémon from the first four generations at least once.
* Ash has only caught Pokémon when he does not have a full party of six, except for when he caught {{AP|Krabby|Kingler}} and {{AP|Sewaddle|Swadloon}}.
* Ash has [[trade]]d away three Pokémon: {{AP|Butterfree}}, {{AP|Raticate}}, and {{TP|Dawn|Aipom|Ambipom}}. Of these three, Butterfree was the only one Ash got back, and also the only one that is not {{type2|Normal}}.
* Ash has several Pokémon in common with {{series|Diamond & Pearl}} rivals; [[Paul]] and {{an|Barry}}. He and Paul both own a {{p|Torterra}} and have owned a {{p|Gliscor}} as well as both training the same {{AP|Chimchar|Infernape}} at some point. Like Ash, Barry owns a {{p|Staraptor}} and a {{p|Heracross}}. Other rivals of Ash's have had alike Pokémon; {{Gary}} has also owned a {{TP|Gary|Squirtle|Blastoise}} and a {{p|Krabby}}, [[Ritchie]] has a [[Sparky|Pikachu]], [[Zippo|Charmeleon]], {{p|Butterfree}} and {{p|Taillow}}, [[Morrison]] has a {{p|Gligar}}; and {{ho|Tyson}} has a {{p|Sceptile}} and {{p|Donphan}}. The latter two had them on their league teams before Ash would later obtain them himself. [[Trip]] had a [[Trip's Servine|Snivy]] and {{jo|Jimmy}} has owned {{TP|Jimmy|Cyndaquil|Typhlosion}} and {{p|Beedrill}}.
* Ash has never caught a Pokémon of the {{t|Rock}}, {{t|Steel}}, {{t|Psychic}}, or {{t|Ghost}} types. This excludes [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]] manga, where he has caught {{p|Slowpoke}}, a dual-typed {{t|Water}}/{{type2|Psychic}}.

===Challenge/Gym related===
* In each region (except for the Orange Islands), Ash always loses against at least one of the [[Gym Leader]]s before challenging them to a rematch.
* In the [[original series]], Ash pinned his badges to the inside of his jacket. From Hoenn onwards, they have been kept in a case.
* Ash has battled six legendary Pokémon. He has defeated four of these.
* Ash has so far battled five [[Elite Four]] members, namely [[Lorelei]], {{EF|Drake}}, [[Agatha]], {{EF|Flint}} and [[Bertha]]. He has lost to all five without defeating a single Pokémon of theirs.
* Ash has been beaten by every {{type|Normal}} [[Gym Leader]] before beating them in a rematch. However, his [[AG003|first battle]] against [[Norman]] was an unofficial battle.
* The largest number of episodes that Ash has gone without obtaining a [[badge]] was the gap between the {{ci|Snowpoint}} and {{ci|Sunyshore}} Gyms, starting in ''[[DP127|Sliding into Seventh!]]'' and ended in ''[[DP179|The Eighth Wonder of the Sinnoh World!]]'', where Ash finally won the Beacon Badge. The gap was a total of 52 episodes. The shortest amount of time between badges was the [[EP006|one-episode]] gap between ''[[EP005|Showdown in Pewter City]]'' and ''[[EP007|The Water Flowers of Cerulean City]]''.

===Miscellaneous===

[[File:Ash new eye style.png|thumb|right|200px|Ash's new eye style in Best Wishes]]
* The date of Ash's birth, according to [[Takeshi Shudo]]'s anime novelizations, is 10 years, 10 months, and 10 days ''exactly'' prior to the day he began his Pokémon journey. Being that the same novelization declares that Pokémon Trainers obtain their first Pokémon in April of the year following their 10th birthday, and the anime itself began broadcast on the first of that month in 1997 in Japan, Ash's birthday, if April 1 was the first day of his journey, would be May 22.
* Lines similar to lightning bolts are found on Ash's cheeks, as well as in his hair. This may be a reference to Ash's starter Pokémon, {{AP|Pikachu}}, who also has electric cheeks.
* Ash has cross-dressed three times. The first time he did this was in ''[[EP026|Pokémon Scent-sation!]]'', in the [[original series]]. He cross-dressed a second time in ''[[AG042|Love at First Flight]]'', in the {{series|Advanced Generation}}. ''[[DP062|Tanks for the Memories!]]'' marked the third time he cross-dressed, in the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}. Each time Ash has cross-dressed, he was never willing to do so and was coerced or forced into it in some way.
** In addition to dressing as a girl, Ash has dressed up as fruit on at least two occasions. The first time, he dressed as an apple in ''[[EP107|Pokémon Food Fight!]]'' while the second he dressed as an {{wp|eggplant}} in ''[[AG104|Claydol Big and Tall]]''. On both occasions he was used to lure a large Pokémon.
** Ash has also dressed up as a Pokémon on several occasions. In ''[[EP064|It's Mr. Mime Time]]'', Ash dressed up as a {{p|Mr. Mime}} in order to get [[Stella]]'s Mr. Mime to perform in the circus out of jealousy. In ''[[EP215|Octillery The Outcast]]'', Ash dressed as an {{p|Octillery}} in order to help an Octillery be accepted by a school of {{p|Remoraid}}. In ''[[AG048|ZigZag Zangoose!]]'', Ash dressed up as a {{p|Seviper}} while [[Nicholai]] dressed up as a {{p|Zangoose}} to see what the feud between the two Pokémon is like.
* Several of the variety of {{wp|ash tree}}s, from which his name could be derived, are related to Kanto in some way: not only are there trees known as the "red ash", "green ash", and "blue ash", for the first three games, but also the "indigo ash", for the [[Indigo Plateau]].
* [[Arnold]] and [[Travis]] are both [[doppelgänger]]s of Ash. His first meeting with both of [[Arnold's mother|their]] [[Luana|mothers]] was being mistaken for them and embraced in a hug as the boys were away from home at the time.
[[File:Ash Dewgong Drawing.png|thumb|left|200px|Ash's drawing of a Dewgong]]
* When [[Veronica Taylor]] was interviewed in the documentary "Adventures in Voice Acting", she stated that during her audition for the role of Ash, he was known as Casey at the time. This name would later be given to a {{an|Casey|recurring character from Johto}}.
* In Ash's Unova design, his eye irises are larger to match most other people in the anime, like artwork of Red from Generation III. Excluding clothing, this is Ash's first physical change since his debut in ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]''.
* Ash has shown to possess some {{wp|drawing}} abilities which were shown in ''[[DP089|Up Close and Personable!]]'' where he drew a {{p|Dewgong}}.
* Ash is the only one in his [[Ash's friends|current traveling group]] not to have a bow-like article of [[List of clothing in the anime|clothing]]. Iris has a bow on her skirt and Cilan has a {{wp|bow tie}}.
