Psyclone2:

Well, if you're reading this, then that means I'm not that bad off... For one who started pokemon games at a very young age, I've gathered a huge amount of knowledge on the subject. From glitches seen with action replays, to memorization of many, many names and places, I'm you're go to man. Unfortnatley, I just started adding to the fan base. I do have a lot of sources, though. From websites, to piles of (useful) guidebooks, and most of the games (although some don't work...), I certainly can solve a lot of dilemas. And although I can be lazy, I can usually get done the things I say I will. I'm open to opinions, and I'm not the best on computers, but if you need someone to count on, it's me.

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

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

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

====Pokémon====

'''Sandgem Town''' (Japanese: '''マサゴタウン''' ''Masago Town'') is a location in the region of [[Sinnoh]], the featured area in the [[Generation IV]] games, {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}. The town notably has sandy terrain to the south, the beginnings of [[Route 219|Sandgem Beach]]. The beach, part of {{rt|219}}, is in close proximity to the town itself.

[[Professor Rowan]]'s laboratory is located here. It is also the hometown for [[Dawn (game)|Dawn]] or [[Lucas (game)|Lucas]], depending on the {{player}}'s gender. The little sister of Dawn or Lucas gives information about [[Mass Outbreak|swarms]] she sees on [[television]]. It is the first location in Sinnoh where [[Poké Ball]]s are able to be purchased. The town smells of the salty scent of the sea.

==Places of interest==
<div style="float: right; margin-left: 10px;">[[Image:DP_Rowan_Lab.png|thumb|none|Inside the professor's lab.]]</div>

{{main|Pokémon Center}}
Sandgem's Pokémon Center is located right next to the Pokémon Research Lab, and is the first Pokémon Center the player will encounter on his journey. It provides an essential place for trainers from the neighbouring routes to stop and rest. A sign outside reads:
{{sign|DPcity|header}}
{{sign|DPcity|Heal Your Pokémon!}}
{{sign|DPcity|title|Pokémon Center}}
{{sign|DPcity|footer}}

===Dawn/Lucas's House===
As the player's pseudo-rival, Dawn (if the [[player character]] is male) or Lucas (if the player character is female) will live in the house nearest to the southern entrance. Inside, after receiving the [[National Dex]], their sister will inform the player of any [[Mass Outbreak|swarms]].

==Demographics==
The population of Sandgem Town is 18 people.

==Poké Mart==
{{main|Poké Mart}}
The Poké Mart has a sign outside which reads:
{{sign|DPcity|header}}
{{sign|DPcity|All You Item Needs Fulfilled!}}

'''Sandgem Town''' (Japanese: '''マサゴタウン''' ''Masago Town'') is a location in the region of [[Sinnoh]], the featured area in the [[Generation IV]] games, {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}. The town notably has sandy terrain to the south, the beginnings of [[Route 219|Sandgem Beach]]. The beach, part of {{rt|219}}, is in close proximity to the town itself.

[[Professor Rowan]]'s laboratory is located here. It is also the hometown for [[Dawn (game)|Dawn]] or [[Lucas (game)|Lucas]], depending on the {{player}}'s gender. The little sister of Dawn or Lucas gives information about [[Mass Outbreak|swarms]] she sees on [[television]]. It is the first location in Sinnoh where [[Poké Ball]]s are able to be purchased. The town smells of the salty scent of the sea.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

===Goals===
# To organize, standardize, and expand the articles on cities and towns in the Pokémon world.

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

===Infobox===
The Infobox to use for this project is [[Template:Infobox town|Infobox town]].

This is the basic syntax you need to get a complete infobox on the article page, just place this before any other text and fill in the variables.
<pre>
{{Infobox town

|bottom=gym
|leader=Erika
|badge=Rainbowbadge
|type=Grass
|map=Celadon City.png
|colordark=ACE1AF
|colorlight=D5EFD6
}}
For the above parameters, here's what you should fill in:
*'''town:''' is the name of the town/city/locale
*'''characters:''' is the city name in Japanese characters
*'''japanese:''' is the city name in Japanese
*'''image:''' is the name of the image file name at Bulbagarden Archives

*'''type:''' (''For bottom=gym only'') is the main type of the Gym
*'''map:''' is the name of the image file name of the overview map at Bulbagarden Archives. If no map is available, leave blank
*'''colordark:''' is the color used for the main header of the infobox. Should reflect the town's name, type, etc.
*'''colorlight:''' is the color used for the subheaders of the infobox. Should be a lighter version of the first color

By completing the infobox as follows, you'll get a routebox like the one to the right.

Core series

Psyclone2:

It is not yet known if there will be '''future generations''' of the Pokémon franchise. However, it has been indicated in the past, that not every Pokémon in the {{pkmn|world}} has been discovered yet, and regions to which unknown Pokémon are native are likely to be revealed gradually. The Pokémon franchise remains very profitable for Nintendo and is currently the second best selling video-game franchise, meaning that the end of the series is likely still far away.

Currently, there are four [[generation]]s of Pokémon games, each with their own set of then-new Pokémon, moves and several other things that have become the pattern of the [[main series]] so far. Although nothing is known at this time about a possible Generation V or beyond, the patterns which have applied to all four current generations are expected to continue to hold true in the future.

What is so far assumed from the patterns that have run from [[Generation I]] to the present about Generation V and beyond is as follows:
*Initially, there will be two versions of the new game, which will differ in capture rates and [[version exclusives]]. A more extensive third version will be released some time later, in which most Pokémon previously exclusive to one of the two versions will be available, but other Pokémon found in both versions will be missing. In the third version, the outfits of the [[player character]]s and [[rival]] will likely change.
**'''Evidence:''' The three-version formula has been used in every generation, although there remains no third version to {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, and there are four games in Generation I. Since [[Generation III]], the player characters have gotten an outfit change in the third version.
*A new [[region]] will be explored. It will be geographically similar to a real-life region in Japan.
**'''Evidence:''' Each of the four generations has been centered in a new region relative to its time: [[Kanto]] in Generation I, [[Johto]] in Generation II, [[Hoenn]] in Generation III, and [[Sinnoh]] in Generation IV. The similarities to Japan's regions are noted [[Pokémon world in relation to the real world|here]].
*A previously unknown [[Pokémon professor]] will reside in this region and have new {{type2|Grass}}, {{type2|Fire}} and {{type2|Water}} Pokémon available for the player to select for his or her adventure. The professor will be named after a tree in the English version.
**'''Evidence:''' Professors {{prof|Oak}}, {{prof|Elm}}, {{prof|Birch}}, {{prof|Rowan}} and their [[starter Pokémon]].
*More new Pokémon will be introduced. Some may be [[List of Pokémon with cross-generational evolutions|evolved forms]] or [[Baby Pokémon|pre-evolutions]] of Pokémon now known. The amount of new Pokémon introduced will likely not be below 100 or above 151. Specifically, a dual-typed {{2t|Normal|Flying}} bird Pokémon will be introduced along with a rodent based {{type2|Normal}} Pokémon.
**'''Evidence:''' Each generation after the first has introduced at least two Pokémon related to those of previous generations. The amount of Pokémon released each generation was 151, 100, 135 and 107. As for the birds and rodents, in each generation there has been one of each introduced:
***'''[[Generation I]]''': {{p|Pidgey}} and {{p|Rattata}}. {{p|Spearow}} was also introduced in this generation.
***'''[[Generation II]]''': {{p|Hoothoot}} and {{p|Sentret}}
***'''[[Generation III]]''': {{p|Taillow}} and {{p|Zigzagoon}}
***'''[[Generation IV]]''': {{p|Starly}} and {{p|Bidoof}}
*The new [[regional Pokédex]] will begin with the starter Pokémon and their evolutionary kin as #001-#009, in the order of Grass-Fire-Water. It will lack at least some Pokémon. The [[National Dex]] numbers of new Pokémon will start with #494 for the Grass-type starter and continue on at least up to #593 if at least 100 Pokémon are added.
**'''Evidence:''' [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Dex number|Hoenn's regional Pokédex]] leaves out 184 Pokémon. [[List of Pokémon by Sinnoh Dex number|Sinnoh's regional Pokédex]] leaves out 342 Pokémon.
*The new region may feature new evolutions of {{p|Eevee}} and new [[Fossil|Fossil Pokémon]].
**'''Evidence: '''Both have happened in three out of the four released generations.
*There will be eight Pokémon [[Gym]]s and an [[Elite Four]], of which each will specialize in a specific [[elemental type]], and a [[Champion]] at the end of the Elite Four. There will also be an evil team that the player will battle and eventually defeat after a battle with its leader.
**'''Evidence:''' This is part of the standard [[version]] formula.
*There will be an {{pkmn|anime}} season or series. In it {{Ash}} will travel to a new region, bringing his Pikachu, and will capture the resident bird Pokémon and at least one [[Starter Pokémon]]. He will have a team consisting of {{AP|Pikachu}}, the bird Pokémon, a {{type2|Water}} Pokémon, a {{type2|Grass}} Pokémon, a {{type2|Fire}} Pokémon, and another Pokémon. He will challenge the [[Gym]]s of the region. He may receive new [[Ash's friends|traveling companions]], and might get a new outfit made by [[Delia Ketchum|his mother]] at the beginning of the new series
**'''Evidence:''' This has happened to every [[Version|main game]] and [[generation]] since {{2v2|Red|Blue}} in [[Generation I]].
*There will be some new [[manga]] produced, some {{g|Special}} chapters written, and new [[Pokémon Trading Card Game|TCG]] cards created.
**'''Evidence:''' This has happened to every [[Version|main game]] and [[generation]] since {{pkmn|Red and Blue}} in [[Generation I]].
*{{p|Pikachu}} will be found in the new region.
**'''Evidence:''' The series mascot can be caught in every portable Pokémon game, except {{game|Yellow}} where it is the starter.
*The evolutionary families of {{p|Geodude}}, {{p|Abra}}, {{p|Zubat}}, {{p|Machop}}, {{p|Psyduck}}, {{p|Goldeen}}, {{p|Tentacool}}, {{p|Magikarp}}, and possibly {{p|Magnemite}} will be included within the new region.
**'''Evidence:''' There has not been one [[sea route]] yet where Magikarp or Tentacool/{{p|Tentacruel}} hasn't been found. Magikarp is always catchable with the [[Old Rod]] as well. Goldeen is a common fishing Pokémon as well. Zubat and Geodude or their evolutions can be found in nearly every cave, along with Machop or Abra occasionally. Psyduck is common around lakes or in [[Safari Zone]]s. Magnemite may also be included in an industrial type location, like a [[Power Plant]]. This isn't certain as it was not included in the original [[Sinnoh]] Pokédex, but was later included in the {{v2|Platinum}} Sinnoh Pokédex addition.
*There will be at least one [[legendary trio]] in the next generation, as well as at least one Über legendary and one [[event Pokémon]].
**'''Evidence:''' Generation I has exactly one of each of the above, and all subsequent generations have expanded on this number in some way.
*The new generation will be playable on a new handheld game system.
**'''Evidence:''' Every new generation so far has been released for the newest Nintendo handheld console relative to its time.
***[[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Pokémon Red, Blue, Green]] and [[Pokémon Yellow Version|Yellow]] for the [[Game Boy]].
***{{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} for the [[Game Boy Color]].
***[[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire]], {{game2|FireRed|LeafGreen|Emerald}} for the [[Game Boy Advance]].
***{{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} for the [[Nintendo DS]].
*The new generation will introduce some new battling mechanics, and will likely have graphical improvements.
**'''Evidence''': This has happened in every generation since the first.
***[[Gen II]]: Introduced a split in [[Special]] into {{stat|Special Attack}} and {{stat|Special Defense}}, as well as other additions, such as [[weather conditions]]. Also, introduced animated sprites and slightly better graphics.
***[[Gen III]]: Introduced [[Ability|abilities]], and reorganized [[EV]]'s and [[IV]]'s. Graphics were greatly improved from Gen II as well.
***[[Gen IV]]: Redefined the difference between [[Physical move|Physical]] and [[Special move|Special]] attacks. Introduced 3D environments and made graphics more realistic and less cartoony.
*Before the first duo of games is released, at least three Pokémon of the next generation will appear in the anime first, at least one of which will appear prior to their official debut or fairly unnannouced. As of late, they will likely debut in a movie, then possibly shortly afterwards be captured by a main character.
**'''Evidence:''' This has happened to every generation yet aside from the first:
***[[Gen II]]: {{p|Ho-Oh}} in ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', {{p|Togepi}} in ''[[EP050|Who Gets To Keep Togepi?]]'', {{p|Marill}} and {{p|Snubbull}} in ''[[PK01|Pikachu's Vacation]]'', {{p|Donphan}} in ''[[Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', and {{p|Lugia}} in ''[[The Power of One]]''.
***[[Gen III]]: {{p|Kecleon}} in ''[[EP205|The Kecleon Caper]]'', {{p|Wynaut}} in ''[[EP251|Beauty is Skin Deep]]'', {{p|Azurill}} in ''[[PK10|Pikachu's PikaBoo]]'', and {{p|Blaziken}} in ''[[EP265|Pop Goes the Sneasel]]''.
***[[Gen IV]]: {{p|Munchlax}} in ''[[Destiny Deoxys]]'', {{p|Lucario}}, {{p|Bonsly}}, {{p|Mime Jr.}}, and {{p|Weavile}} in ''[[Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', and {{p|Buizel}}, {{p|Chatot}}, {{p|Mantyke}}, and {{p|Manaphy}} in ''[[Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]''.
*Somewhere between the beginning of the main games and the third Gym will be a forest/woods. The forest/woods will most likely be named according to a nearby town.
**'''Evidence:''' Every generation has had some sort of forest or woods, with Ilex forest of the Jhoto region being the only one not named after a nearby location.
*There will be at least 20 numbered routes within the games. These include surfing roues, among other things. There will also be at least 1 cave.
**'''Evidence:''' There has been a cave, sea route, and at least 19 other routes in every main game.

*There will be eight Pokémon [[Gym]]s and an [[Elite Four]], of which each will specialize in a specific [[elemental type]], and a [[Champion]] at the end of the Elite Four. There will also be an evil team that the player will battle and eventually defeat after a battle with its leader.
**'''Evidence:''' This is part of the standard [[version]] formula.
*There will be an {{pkmn|anime}} season or series. In it {{Ash}} will travel to a new region, bringing his Pikachu, and will capture the resident bird Pokémon and at least one [[Starter Pokémon]]. He will have a team consisting of {{AP|Pikachu}}, the bird Pokémon, a {{type2|Water}} Pokémon, a {{type2|Grass}} Pokémon, a {{type2|Fire}} Pokémon, and another Pokémon. He will challenge the [[Gym]]s of the region. He may receive new [[Ash's friends|traveling companions]], and might get a new outfit made by [[Delia Ketchum|his mother]] at the beginning of the new series
**'''Evidence:''' This has happened to every [[Version|main game]] and [[generation]] since {{2v2|Red|Blue}} in [[Generation I]].
*There will be some new [[manga]] produced, some {{g|Special}} chapters written, and new [[Pokémon Trading Card Game|TCG]] cards created.

*{{p|Pikachu}} will be found in the new region.
**'''Evidence:''' The series mascot can be caught in every portable Pokémon game, except {{game|Yellow}} where it is the starter.
*The evolutionary families of {{p|Geodude}}, {{p|Abra}}, {{p|Zubat}}, {{p|Machop}}, {{p|Psyduck}}, {{p|Goldeen}}, {{p|Tentacool}}, {{p|Magikarp}}, and possibly {{p|Magnemite}} will be included within the new region.
**'''Evidence:''' There has not been one [[sea route]] yet where Magikarp or Tentacool/{{p|Tentacruel}} hasn't been found. Magikarp is always catchable with the [[Old Rod]] as well. Goldeen is a common fishing Pokémon as well. Zubat and Geodude or their evolutions can be found in nearly every cave, along with Machop or Abra occasionally. Psyduck is common around lakes or in [[Safari Zone]]s. Magnemite may also be included in an industrial type location, like a [[Power Plant]]. This isn't certain as it was not included in the original [[Sinnoh]] Pokédex, but was later included in the {{v2|Platinum}} Sinnoh Pokédex addition.

**'''Evidence''': This has happened in every generation since the first.

***[[Gen III]]: Introduced [[Ability|abilities]], and reorganized [[EV]]'s and [[IV]]'s. Graphics were greatly improved from Gen II as well.
***[[Gen IV]]: Redefined the difference between [[Physical move|Physical]] and [[Special move|Special]] attacks. Introduced 3D environments and made graphics more realistic and less cartoony.
*Before the first duo of games is released, at least three Pokémon of the next generation will appear in the anime first, at least one of which will appear prior to their official debut or fairly unnannouced. As of late, they will likely debut in a movie, then possibly shortly afterwards be captured by a main character.
**'''Evidence:''' This has happened to every generation yet aside from the first:

*Somewhere between the beginning of the main games and the third Gym will be a forest/woods. The forest/woods will most likely be named according to a nearby town.
**'''Evidence:''' Every generation has had some sort of forest or woods, with Ilex forest of the Jhoto region being the only one not named after a nearby location.
*There will be at least 20 numbered routeswithin the games. These include surfing roues, among other things. There will also be at least 1 cave.
**'''Evidence:''' There has been a cave, sea route, and at least 19 other routes in every main game.

Core series

2009-04-16T16:05:38Z

Psyclone2:

It is not yet known if there will be '''future generations''' of the Pokémon franchise. However, it has been indicated in the past, that not every Pokémon in the {{pkmn|world}} has been discovered yet, and regions to which unknown Pokémon are native are likely to be revealed gradually. The Pokémon franchise remains very profitable for Nintendo and is currently the second best selling video-game franchise, meaning that the end of the series is likely still far away.

Currently, there are four [[generation]]s of Pokémon games, each with their own set of then-new Pokémon, moves and several other things that have become the pattern of the [[main series]] so far. Although nothing is known at this time about a possible Generation V or beyond, the patterns which have applied to all four current generations are expected to continue to hold true in the future.

What is so far assumed from the patterns that have run from [[Generation I]] to the present about Generation V and beyond is as follows:
*Initially, there will be two versions of the new game, which will differ in capture rates and [[version exclusives]]. A more extensive third version will be released some time later, in which most Pokémon previously exclusive to one of the two versions will be available, but other Pokémon found in both versions will be missing. In the third version, the outfits of the [[player character]]s and [[rival]] will likely change.
**'''Evidence:''' The three-version formula has been used in every generation, although there remains no third version to {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, and there are four games in Generation I. Since [[Generation III]], the player characters have gotten an outfit change in the third version.
*A new [[region]] will be explored. It will be geographically similar to a real-life region in Japan.
**'''Evidence:''' Each of the four generations has been centered in a new region relative to its time: [[Kanto]] in Generation I, [[Johto]] in Generation II, [[Hoenn]] in Generation III, and [[Sinnoh]] in Generation IV. The similarities to Japan's regions are noted [[Pokémon world in relation to the real world|here]].
*A previously unknown [[Pokémon professor]] will reside in this region and have new {{type2|Grass}}, {{type2|Fire}} and {{type2|Water}} Pokémon available for the player to select for his or her adventure. The professor will be named after a tree in the English version.
**'''Evidence:''' Professors {{prof|Oak}}, {{prof|Elm}}, {{prof|Birch}}, {{prof|Rowan}} and their [[starter Pokémon]].
*More new Pokémon will be introduced. Some may be [[List of Pokémon with cross-generational evolutions|evolved forms]] or [[Baby Pokémon|pre-evolutions]] of Pokémon now known. The amount of new Pokémon introduced will likely not be below 100 or above 151. Specifically, a dual-typed {{2t|Normal|Flying}} bird Pokémon will be introduced along with a rodent based {{type2|Normal}} Pokémon.
**'''Evidence:''' Each generation after the first has introduced at least two Pokémon related to those of previous generations. The amount of Pokémon released each generation was 151, 100, 135 and 107. As for the birds and rodents, in each generation there has been one of each introduced:
***'''[[Generation I]]''': {{p|Pidgey}} and {{p|Rattata}}. {{p|Spearow}} was also introduced in this generation.
***'''[[Generation II]]''': {{p|Hoothoot}} and {{p|Sentret}}
***'''[[Generation III]]''': {{p|Taillow}} and {{p|Zigzagoon}}
***'''[[Generation IV]]''': {{p|Starly}} and {{p|Bidoof}}
*The new [[regional Pokédex]] will begin with the starter Pokémon and their evolutionary kin as #001-#009, in the order of Grass-Fire-Water. It will lack at least some Pokémon. The [[National Dex]] numbers of new Pokémon will start with #494 for the Grass-type starter and continue on at least up to #593 if at least 100 Pokémon are added.
**'''Evidence:''' [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Dex number|Hoenn's regional Pokédex]] leaves out 184 Pokémon. [[List of Pokémon by Sinnoh Dex number|Sinnoh's regional Pokédex]] leaves out 342 Pokémon.
*The new region may feature new evolutions of {{p|Eevee}} and new [[Fossil|Fossil Pokémon]].
**'''Evidence: '''Both have happened in three out of the four released generations.
