Masuda method

2011-05-01T23:18:43Z

Qwart: /* Intro */

The '''Masuda method''', also known as '''Masuda's method''' (Japanese: 国際結婚 ''{{tt|international marriage|kokusai kekkon}}''), is a fan-made term which describes a way to easily obtain [[Shiny Pokémon]] in [[Generation IV]] and {{gen|V}}. Rather than encountering Shiny Pokémon with a probability of 1/8192, Masuda's method lets players breed Pokémon of differing real-world geographical origin with at least a 1/2048 probability of being Shiny upon hatching.

It is named for [[Game Freak]] director [[Junichi Masuda]], who programmed it into the {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}. He documented the method in his blog<ref>http://www.gamefreak.co.jp/blog/dir_english/?p=30</ref>, where he mentioned a way for "rare colored Pokémon's Egg [to] be found little easier." The mechanics behind this were discovered by [[Smogon]].

==Usage==
The key to using the Masuda method is not to breed any two Pokémon, but to breed two Pokémon created in games of different languages. An egg resulting from such a pairing will have a higher likelihood of being Shiny. The most common way to arrange such a pairing is to use one foreign Pokémon and one from the game in which the breeding occurs, although the method will work in any game provided at least one of the Pokémon in the pair is from a language different to the language of the game cartridge.

There are a few exceptions to this basic premise. If both Pokémon are foreign to the cartridge but are both from the same language, then the Masuda method will not take effect. Additionally, if the player tries to breed one of his or her own Pokémon with a foreign Pokémon obtained through an [[in-game trade]] (such as the [[Meister]]'s {{p|Magikarp|Foppa}} and [[Lt. Surge]]'s {{p|Pikachu|Volty}}), then the method will also fail. In this case, it is because the two Pokémon breeding were generated on the same game and therefore in the same language.

A Pokémon traded internationally while still in its egg will retain the internal marking which recognizes it as a foreign Pokémon even though it appears to be native to the cartridge it was hatched in.

Some examples are illustrated below. Pokémon bred in circumstances which invoke the Masuda method and may be Shiny are denoted by their Shiny sprite.

==Mechanics and reasoning==
The Masuda method is possible because of an internal marker on each Pokémon which identifies their "home location", 0x17. If the game recognizes the two Pokémon in the daycare as having different home locations, then the chances of the egg hatching into a Shiny Pokémon will increase. In {{game5|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, the odds will be increased by four times: from the usual 1/8192 to 1/2048. In {{game|Black and White|s}}, the odds were increased again, to 1/1366. This is six times as likely as encountering a Shiny Pokémon in tall grass.

==Reaction and purpose==
From Generation IV onwards, trading with games from other languages became easier thanks to the [[Nintendo DS]]'s ability to communicate through [[Nintendo WFC]]. Masuda's method was likely coded as incentive for players to use the [[GTS]] international trading services.

Though the odds of obtaining a shiny Pokémon are still fairly low, the chances have now been increased so significantly that players have touted it as a more reliable method than the {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}'s [[Poké Radar]]. Masuda's method is even more appealing, since it allows players to customize their team further, with specific [[egg move]]s and [[individual values|IVs]] that would be either unavailable or harder to obtain. However, when breeding with two foreign Pokémon, the 50% chance of passing down a parent's nature via an {{Evostone|Everstone}} is not present.

Talk:Pokémon Black and White beta

Qwart: /* Zoroark's Shadow */ new section

==animatated sprites?==
[[File:Spr BW Black 2.png|thumb]] [[File:Spr BW White 2.png|thumb]]
these are two sprites found in the game. on closer inspection, they look like part of the animation frame for the trainer sprite. are these two sprites being used in the game? if not, is it worth mentioning that the main characters sprite might be animated initially? -[[User:Pokeant|Pokeant]] 01:40, 25 October 2010 (UTC)
: No, these are for something else (Like the Pokeathelon sprites for Ethan and Lyra) [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] 01:51, 25 October 2010 (UTC)
::Miracle Shooter. [[User:Tc26/Anime Predictions|tc]][[User:Tc26|²₆]][[User talk:Tc26|tc]][[User:Tc26/Sandbox|26]] 02:26, 25 October 2010 (UTC)
:::Ok, thanks. my mistake. -[[User:Pokeant|Pokeant]] 02:47, 25 October 2010 (UTC)

==Cheren's VS Sprite==
So earlier I noticed that there were a couple differences between Cheren's VS sprite in the trailer (The one that also showed Black's beta VS sprite) and the final version in the games. In the trailer, Cheren's eyes are looking straight forward where as the in the games, he's looking at the player's VS sprite. There are also two small streaks in his hair in the final version's sprite. This isn't present in the beta sprite. Also, in the final version, his mouth is slightly open. [[User:Fudgenuggets|Fudgenuggets]] 02:41, 15 November 2010 (UTC)
:Can't tell about the mouth in the video, but everything else you mentioned, plus a color change on one side of his jacket, I saw too. I'll add it once I have time.--'''[[User:Immewnity|''immewnity'']][[User talk:Immewnity|the]][[Special:Contributions/Immewnity|mew]]''' 01:30, 18 November 2010 (UTC)
::I'm surprised no one has mentioned Bel's missing C-gear (or whatever) in her beta sprite [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] 01:37, 18 November 2010 (UTC)
:::Where's this!?!--'''[[User:Immewnity|''immewnity'']][[User talk:Immewnity|the]][[Special:Contributions/Immewnity|mew]]''' 20:57, 20 November 2010 (UTC)
::::[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vHZy4aqJns8&feature=related This video] has the beta sprite. --[[Special:Contributions/CoolPikachu!|'''☆''']][[User:CoolPikachu!|'''Cool''']][[User talk:CoolPikachu!|'''Pikachu!''']] 08:32, 21 November 2010 (UTC)

== Zoroark's Shadow ==

In the first screenshots of Zoroark battling Zorua, Zoroark's shadow is illogically placed. The shadow of his left foot should start right at the base of his foot, but instead it starts in front of his left foot. This has since been fixed and therefore should be added to the Beta page. Note that the picture that I speak of is used in the Night Burst article, so that should also be changed to a corrected screenshot.

'''Chilan Berry''' is a type of [[Berry]] introduced in [[Generation IV]].

==Locations==

===Generation IV===
*Sometimes given from the girl in the westernmost house in [[Pastoria City]].
*Rarely (5% chance) found on wild {{p|Rattata}} or {{p|Raticate}}. Note that the move {{m|covet}} is unable to steal this berry.

|}}

===[[Pokéwalker]]===
* Rarely found in {{pa|Beyond the Sea}} after 5000+ steps.

==Growth and harvest==

===Generation IV===
A Chilan Berry will mature from a planted seed to a full-grown, fruit-bearing tree in 72 hours, with 18 hours per stage. A Chilan tree will yield 1-5 berries.

==Poffin cooking==
At 100% performance, this berry can produce a Level 20 (maybe higher) Dry-sweet Poffin.

==Trivia==
* Unlike the other berries in this series, the Chilan Berry simply weakens any kind of attack of its type. This is because there is no type that takes super effective damage from Normal attacks.
* Another [[Chilan Berry (Generation III)|berry]] in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}} has the same name. This berry is unavailable in Generation IV games.

'''Rotom''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ロトム''' ''Rotom'') is a dual-type {{2t|Electric|Ghost}} [[Pokémon]].

It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon. However, as of {{game|Platinum}}, it can [[form differences|change forms]].

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Rotom's basic body looks similar to {{p|Castform}}, but Rotom has no real relation to any other species, since it doesn't have any evolutions or pre-evolutions. Rotom has a body of plasma. It also has teeth, which are often seen. Rotom also have unique eyes that have a dividing line across them. Even though Rotom is classified as being an Electric/Ghost type, it possesses traits that aren't usually normal for something that's supposed to be a spirit, such as the need to eat, being able to faint and somehow reproducing. Rotom themselves are shaped like lightning rods, while the blue aura of electricity around them takes the appearance of lightning.

[[File:Rotom parts.png|thumb|left|Rotom and the appliances]]
In {{game2|HeartGold|SoulSilver|Platinum}}, Rotom also has five extra forms (each based on a household appliance), which can be accessed using an event-exclusive item called the {{DL|List of key items in Generation IV|Secret Key}} in Platinum and by bringing a Rotom to [[Silph Co.]] HQ in HeartGold and SoulSilver. They are based on a {{wp|refrigerator}} (Frost Rotom), {{wp|washing machine}} (Wash Rotom), {{wp|fan (mechanical)|fan}} (Fan Rotom), {{wp|lawn mower}} (Mow Rotom), and a {{wp|microwave oven}} (Heat Rotom). Despite having visual characteristics of other types ({{t|Ice}}, {{t|Water}}, {{t|Flying}}, {{t|Grass}} and {{t|Fire}}, respectively), they share the original Rotom's {{t|Electric}} and {{t|Ghost}} types. Rotom's eyes and aura of electricity will change colors when it changes form, but the aura remains the same color if it's {{shiny2}}. In contrast, their base stats are far higher than those of the original Rotom, to the point of being analogous to evolutions.
====Gender differences====
Rotom is a genderless species.
====Special abilities====
Rotom can creep into machines and appliances and infiltrate them. It may also possess and take the form of them if it wishes. However, only 5 alternate forms have been discovered so far.
[[Image:BrockRotom.gif|thumb|right|Rotom transforming]]

===Behavior===
Rotom are mischievous, apparently wreaking havoc on electrical appliances just for the fun of it. They like to pull pranks on others, or just {{m|Discharge|shock}} them. When not possessing any object and when possessing a fan, it levitates when moving. On the other hand, when possessing a refrigerator or an oven, it bounces.

===Habitat===
They usually live in electrical appliances, sometimes in those of [[Old Chateau|abandoned places]]. In {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, a Rotom resides inside a [[television]], where the {{player}} is able to catch it after obtaining the National Pokédex in Diamond and Pearl (in Platinum, this is not required).

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

As with most {{t|Electric}} Pokémon, Rotom probably feeds on electricity.

==In the anime==
[[Image:{{#switch: {{#time: w}}|0|6=Rotom normal.jpg|1=Rotom heat.jpg|2=Rotom wash.jpg|3=Rotom frost.jpg|4=Rotom spin.jpg|5=Rotom cut.jpg}}|thumb|210px|{{#switch: {{#time: w}}|0|6=|1=Heat|2=Wash|3=Frost|4=Fan|5=Mow}} Rotom in the anime]]
Rotom made its debut appearance in ''[[DP105|Get Your Rotom Running!]]'' in all its different forms, toying around with {{Ash}} and {{ashfr|friends}}.

==Trivia==
* When Rotom is encountered, the music is the same as {{pkmn2|legendary}} encounters although it is not classified as one. Rotom is, to date, the only non-legendary Pokémon to do this. {{p|Latios}}, {{p|Latias}}, {{p|Cresselia}} and {{p|Shaymin}} do the opposite, being the only legendaries encountered in [[Generation IV]] for which the normal wild battle music plays.
* It is the only [[Generation IV]] Pokémon not in the original [[List of Pokémon by Sinnoh Pokédex number|Sinnoh Pokédex]] that is neither legendary nor an evolution of a Pokémon from previous generations.
* No other Pokémon has the same [[type]] [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|combination]] as Rotom.
* Rotom is one of three Ghost-types whose [[List of Pokémon by color|color]] isn't in the black or purple category. The others are {{p|Shedinja}} (brown) and {{p|Froslass}} (white).
* With the exception of {{p|Unown}} and {{p|Spinda}}, Rotom has the most forms of any non-legendary Pokémon, with six in total.
* Rotom is one of only two Ghost-types that cannot learn {{m|Psychic}}, the other being Shedinja.
* When Rotom transforms, it learns a new move in the same way that other Pokémon may learn new moves upon evolving. The move is replaced by another if Rotom possesses another object, and is deleted when Rotom transforms back to its normal form. If the only move that Rotom knows right before reverting to its original form is exclusive to its alternate form, then that move will be replaced with {{m|ThunderShock}}.
* Rotom is the only Pokémon with the ability to change its form by will that must possess another object in order to do so. {{p|Castform}}, {{p|Deoxys}}, {{p|Giratina}}, and {{p|Shaymin}} actually transform their bodies. However, {{p|Burmy}} is similar to Rotom in that it merely changes its surrounding cover. Like Deoxys and Burmy, players can have the six forms at one time.
* Rotom is the only Pokémon whose alternate forms have a different [[Stats|base stat total]] than that of the original form. Other Pokémon with alternate forms may have different distributions, however.
* Fan Rotom's {{m|Air Slash}} is the only special move whose base power isn't over 100. It's also the only special move with more than 5 PP.
* Rotom is the only non-legendary Pokémon to have been banned from official tournaments: prior to the release of {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, its alternate formes were not permitted as a result of their event-exclusivity.
* Rotom is notable for being the only Pokémon to learn certain moves (while in different forms):
** As Heat Rotom, Rotom is the only Pokémon that can learn {{m|Overheat}} without breeding or via [[TM]].
** As Mow Rotom, Rotom is the only non-{{type2|Grass}} to learn {{m|Leaf Storm}}.
** As Fan Rotom, Rotom is the only non-{{type2|Flying}} to learn {{m|Air Slash}}.

===Origin===
Rotom appears to be based on {{wp|Pulseman}}, who was actually designed by Pokémon designer [[Ken Sugimori]], although it may also be inspired by the unexplained phenomenon of {{wp|ball lightning}}. Its Pokédex entry brings to mind {{wp|gremlin}}s. Its possession of other objects may be based on {{wp|poltergeist}}s or {{wp|tsukumogami}}.

====Name origin====
In {{game|Platinum}}, it is revealed that [[Charon]] discovered and named the first known Rotom. It appeared out of his toy robot, and Charon named it Rotom due to its origin. Rotom is the word ''motor'' backwards; this may refer to the fact that motors make many appliances function, while Rotom makes them fail.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Rotom
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Motisma - From ''moteur'' (engine) and ''plasma''.
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 로토무 ''Rotom''

{{StrategyWiki}}

'''Pokémon Rumble''' (Japanese: '''乱戦！ポケモンスクランブル''' ''Melee! Pokémon Scramble'') is a WiiWare game released in Japan on June 16, 2009. It was released on November 16 for North America. It can be purchased for 1,500 Wii Points, and a free currently a free demo is available as well. A prototype for North America was shown at the Wizard World's Big Apple Comic Con.

==Blurb==
"Introducing a new kind of Pokémon challenge, available exclusively to the WiiWare service! Pokémon Rumble is an action game in which you control Toy Pokémon (referred to as "Pokémon") and take on wave after wave of other Pokémon in a variety of stages.

Befriend some of the defeated Pokémon along the way, adding them to your collection and granting you the ability to use them in battle. Switch between collected Pokémon at any time, taking advantage of the fact that the amount of damage you deal depends on the type of move used and the type of Pokémon hit. Be the last one standing to gain the right to compete in the Battle Royale and test your skills against many Pokémon at once.

Or team up with three people for some multiplayer action, working together to take down tough Bosses and earning points that can be used towards recruiting or training Pokémon. You can even save your favorite Pokémon to your Wii Remote controller for exchanges with friends.

Combining beautiful cel-shaded graphics and exciting game play features with the world of Pokémon, this is one Rumble you won't want to miss!"

==Story==
Pokémon Rumble takes place in a world with living toy [[Pokémon]]. A toy {{p|Ratatta}} controlled by the player sneaks into the [[Battle Royale]] hoping to prove its strength, but is defeated. The player then collects more toys from each level and defeats boss Pokémon to pass each Battle Royale and prove their strength!

===Adventure Mode===
In Adventure Mode, there are several Normal Rank stages on each level where Pokémon can be befriended. All Pokémon in the Normal Rank stages are from [[Generation I]]. In the first level, Rank C, the first stage revealed is [[Silent Forest]]. Once completed, [[Windy Prairie]], [[Rocky Cave]], [[Fiery Furnace]], [[Bright Beach]], and [[Eternal Tower]] are accessible. In every subsequent level, all stages are available immediately. The Battle Royale building will not open until a Pokémon of a certain power level is befriended. After the Battle Royale is won, the player will increase in rank, and the next higher level will be accessible. If the player faints three times in one stage, they are sent back to the terminal and instructed to reattempt stages to befriend more powerful Pokémon. In Multiplayer mode, if the two players faint three times combined, they are both sent back to the terminal.

Once the player has beaten {{p|Mewtwo}} in the Rank S Battle Royale, Advanced Mode is revealed. Advanced Mode contains [[Generation IV]] Pokémon. After completing the Advanced Mode, EX Mode is unlocked, consisting of the strongest Pokémon from both previous modes as well as some new ones.

====Recruited Pokémon====
Recruited Pokémon are Pokémon available to switch into battle. They appear listed in a menu item. Pokémon with pink names have special traits, those with blue names are {{shiny2}}, and those with white names are typical. If a Pokémon has a special trait and is shiny, it's name will still appear blue in the list.

Pokémon can be recruited through battling in one of the six stages in the terminal, through purchase at the Recruit Point, or through entering a password at the Recruit Point.

==Features==
*The game is played with the Wii Remote on its side, a Classic Controller, or a GameCube controller (Multiplayer only).
*Pokémon are like wind-up toys and they appear as they did in [[My Pokémon Ranch]].
*There is a Battle Royale mode where players control their Pokémon in a massive pit where lots of other Pokémon appear. The last one that remains standing will be the winner. Players control both the Pokémon's movement and what [[move]] they use.
*It also has a story mode where there are levels which end with a battle where in a [[giant Pokémon]] is a boss. The boss may be a [[legendary Pokémon]]. Other Pokémon are obtained through defeating them in this mode.
*Players can also take screenshots of their Pokémon in the battles.
*There is a two-player co-op mode, as well as a stadium mode where up to four players can battle. Other players of this game can also bring their Pokémon from their game on the Wii Remote, similar to Miis.
*Similar to the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]] series, the player may enter in passwords which can be used Pokémon that either are not regularly obtainable in the game or have special traits. Such codes are released through official media.
*Pokémon can know up to 2 moves at a time.
*[[Shiny Pokémon]] are also included in the game.
*Only Pokémon from Generation I and Generation IV are obtainable in the game.

===Release Tickets===

If the player releases a certain group of Pokémon, he/she can grab a Pokémon Ticket.

Releasing five of the same Pokémon will give you a ticket for the next highest stage of evolution. Releasing five of the highest stage of an evolution line will give you a ticket for the basic Pokémon. Pokémon who do not have an evolution that appears in the game will not give you any tickets.

There are only a limited amount of combos and the player is only able to carry one ticket at a time. Tickets can be redeemed at the red roofed building at the very bottom of the Terminal.

These Release Tickets work for the US version of Pokémon Rumble:

*Five Mothim = Burmy Trash/Sandy/Plant Cloak Ticket.

*Pidgeot, Fearow, Jynx, Lapras = Articuno Ticket.

*Dragonite, Bastiodon, Garchomp, Lucario, Magnezone = Dialga Ticket.

*Gyarados, Empoleon, Garchomp, Blastoise, Dragonite = Palkia Ticket.

*Heat Rotom, Wash Rotom, Cut Rotom, Frost Rotom, Spin Rotom = Darkrai Ticket.

*Five East Sea Shellos = West Sea Gastrodon Ticket.

*Dragonite, Gengar, Spiritomb, Garchomp, Dusknoir = Giratina Ticket.

*Dialga, Palkia, Giratina = Mewtwo Ticket.

*Three Phione = Manaphy Ticket.

*Magmar, Pidgeot, Fearow, Charizard = Moltres Ticket.

*Vaporeon, Lapras = Phione Ticket.

*Five East Sea Gastrodon = West Sea Shellos Ticket.

*Rotom, Jolteon = Spin Rotom Ticket.

*Rotom, Vaporeon = Wash Rotom Ticket.

*Glaceon, Rotom = Frost Rotom Ticket.

*Flareon, Rotom = Heat Rotom Ticket.

*Leafeon, Rotom = Cut Rotom Ticket.

*Charizard, Arcanine, Arbok, Kangaskhan, Bastiodon = Shaymin Ticket.

*Five Grass Cloak Burmy = Wormadam Trash/Sandy/Grass Cloak Ticket.

*Electabuzz, Raichu, Pidgeot, Fearow = Zapdos Ticket.

*Five West Sea Shellos = East Sea Gastrodon

*Five West Sea Gastrodon = East Sea Shellos

==Reception==
Pokémon Rumble received a "Passable" score of 6.0 out of 10 from IGN, saying that those who like to collect Pokémon have "got your work cut out for you" and it's a fun brawler, but say the games graphics were "ugly, even for wind-up toys" and game play became tedious quickly.<ref>http://wii.ign.com/articles/104/1045854p1.html</ref>

'''Wurmple''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ケムッソ''' ''Kemusso'') is a {{type2|Bug}} Pokémon.

Wurmple will evolve into either {{p|Silcoon}} or {{p|Cascoon}} starting at [[level]] 7 depending on its [[personality value]]. As personality values cannot be influenced by the player, what a given Wurmple will evolve into is essentially random. From there, the Silcoon or Cascoon will evolve again starting at level 10 into {{p|Beautifly}} or {{p|Dustox}} respectively.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Wurmple's body is colored red at the top and a cream color on the belly. Its eyes are large and yellow with dark pupils. Wurmple has a sharp yellow stinger on its head and two, also yellow in coloration, on its rear. Behind its forehead spike is a tall, erect, red spine with a similar, if smaller spine behind that. Wurmple has small spikes running down the top portions of its body and five pairs of stubby white limbs.
====Gender differences====
None.

====Special abilities====
Wurmple’s feet are tipped with suction pads, allowing it to cling to glass or tree branches without slipping. Wurmple can also {{M|String Shot|spit a white silk}} that turns sticky when it comes in contact with air.

===Behavior===
Bird Pokémon such as {{P|Swellow}} and {{P|Starly}} target Wurmple for prey, and Wurmple desperately resists by pointing the venomous spikes on its rear and leaking poison at the foe, weakening it.

===Habitat===
Wurmple lives amidst tall grass and in forests.
[[Image:Forest.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Forest Pokémon|Forest Pokémon]]]]

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

In the various [[Pokédex]] entries on Wurmple, it is described as eating leaves or pulling the bark off of trees to feed on the sap. This makes them easy to attract with [[Honey]].

==In the anime==
[[Image:MayWurmple.png|thumb|right|{{TP|Aaron|Wurmple|Beautifly}} in the anime]]
Both {{an|May}} and [[Jessie]] each captured a Wurmple in ''[[AG014|All in a Day's Wurmple]]''. [[May's Wurmple]] evolved into {{p|Silcoon}} in ''[[AG024|A Corphish Out of Water]]'' while {{OP|Jessie|Wurmple}} evolved into a {{p|Cascoon}} in the same episode.

One was again shown in ''[[DP099|A Trainer and Child Reunion!]]'' as a Pokémon that was released by {{EF|Aaron}} when he was younger. It came back years later as a {{TP|Aaron|Beautifly}}.

===Pokédex entries===
{{Animedexheader|Hoenn}}
{{Animedexbody|AG014|Wurmple|Ash's Pokédex|Wurmple, the Worm Pokémon. Wurmple live primarily off of sap from trees. The suction cups on its feet keep it from slipping.}}
{{Animedexfooter/Pokémon|''Advanced Generation''|Hoenn}}

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

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]]: Wurmple is one of the members of Team Tasty, alongside {{p|Swellow}}. A running joke is that Wurmple is terrified that Swellow is going to eat him, and that's why he named their team that. Only at the end of the game does Swellow realize that Wurmple is afraid of him.

===Pokédex entries===

==Trivia==
*Wurmple shares the same [[species]] name with {{p|Caterpie}}. They are both known as the Worm Pokémon.
*All four different species names belonging to Wurmple's evolutionary family are shared with a [[Generation I]] Pokémon.
*Wurmple is the only Pokémon whose branched evolutions evolve further. All other Pokémon with a branch in their evolutionary line either evolve once before the branch or do not have any other evolutionary event besides the one which is branched.
*Along with {{p|Clamperl}} and {{p|Burmy}}, it is one of the only Pokémon whose multiple evolutionary paths are all Pokémon of the same generation as it is.
*Wurmple, along with {{p|Caterpie}} and {{p|Weedle}}, evolves at level 7, the lowest set level in the games (though Pokémon that evolve by level up with another method can evolve as low as level 1).

===Origin===
Wurmple is based on a {{wp|caterpillar}}. It also appears to resemble an {{wp|earwig}} somewhat.

====Name origin====
Wurmple's name is a combination of ''{{wp|worm}}'' and ''rumple'', referring to the wrinkled texture of its skin. Its Japanese name is derived from 毛虫 ''kemushi'', caterpillar.

'''Weedle''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ビードル ''' ''Beedle'') is a dual-type {{2t|Bug|Poison}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Kakuna}} starting at [[level]] 7, who evolves into {{p|Beedrill}} starting at level 10.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Weedle is a small, yellow larva Pokémon with a segmented body. Weedle has dark, circular eyes, many little pink feet and a pink, round nose. Weedle has a stinger on both its tail and head. Its bright coloration is intended to warn off its enemies.
====Gender differences====
None.

===Special abilities===
Weedle isn't very powerful, but it can spit a sticky thread to entangle its foes with {{m|String Shot}}. It can also use one of its stingers to poison a foe with {{m|Poison Sting}}.

===Behavior===
Weedles generally prefer to remain undisturbed. They live in colonies with their evolved forms: Kakuna and Beedrill, and will recruit them to assist in their revenge if bothered.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Forest.gif|left|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon}}]]
Weedle can be found in forests, misty wooded areas, and grasslands. Weedle usually hides in grass and bushes, under the leaves that it eats.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Weedle primarily eat leaves. They appear to prefer some leaves over others, and they can distinguish between them by smelling them with their big red proboscis, or nose. Weedle eats such a copious amount that it eats its weight in leaves every day.

==In the anime==
[[Image:EP004 003.jpg|thumb|right|Weedle in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
In ''[[EP004|Challenge of the Samurai]]'', Ash was very close to catching a Weedle. He used his newly caught {{AP|Pidgeotto}} to battle, Weedle was knocked unconscious and when Ash was about to throw his Poké Ball, [[Samurai]] came up and asked Ash if he was a trainer from [[Pallet Town]]. This distracted Ash from catching the Weedle, so it got away. This same Weedle later warns its kind and together, they try to avenge its near capture by attacking Ash and company.

{{an|Casey}} captured a Weedle during the [[Bug-Catching Contest]] in ''[[EP161|The Bug Stops Here]]''. She released it in accordance with Contest rules.

===Minor appearances===
Weedle appeared a few other times while {{Ash}} was in the [[Viridian Forest]], such as when a number of them ate [[Team Rocket]]'s cardboard tank.

A Weedle was used by one of the students of the [[Pokémon Trainer's School]] in ''[[AG015|Gonna Rule The School!]]''.

An injured Weedle appeared in ''[[DP038|One Big Happiny Family!]]''. It was healed by [[Nurse Joy]].

[[Shū]] befriended and caught a Weedle in [[Pokémon Get da ze!]].

===Pokémon Adventures===
Weedle's first appearance is a cameo in ''[[PS002|Bulbasaur, Come Home!]]'' as one of the Pokémon that escapes from [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]]. Also, {{adv|Green}} caught a Weedle to try to use to trick people into trading better Pokémon for it at the [[Pokémon League]] tournament in [[Pokémon Adventures]].

==Trivia==
* Weedle is the only Pokémon incapable of learning {{t|Normal}} moves, if {{m|Hidden Power}}'s inability to be a Normal move in practice is not considered in {{p|Unown}}'s case.
* Despite being classified as the Hairy Bug Pokémon, no artwork of it depicts it having any hair at all.
* Up until {{v2|Platinum}}, Weedle was completely incapable of dealing damage to {{type2|Steel}} Pokémon outside of {{m|Struggle}}. This was because Weedle could only learn {{m|Poison Sting}}, which Steel-types are immune to. In Platinum, Weedle can learn {{m|Bug Bite}}. However, Steel-types still resist moves of {{t|Bug|its type}}.
*Weedle, along with {{p|Caterpie}} and {{p|Wurmple}}, evolves at level 7, the lowest set level in the games (though Pokémon that evolve by level up with another method can evolve as low as level 1).
*Despite most of its [[Generation III]] Pokédex entries mentioning its acute sense of smell, Weedle cannot learn {{m|Odor Sleuth}}.
===Origin===
Weedle appears to be based on a larva (baby form) of a bee.
====Name origin====
Weedle's name appears to be a misspelling of ''{{wp|weevil}}'', but this is not likely, considering the difference between the two. Its name is more likely a combination of ''{{wp|worm}}'' and ''needle'', which refers to the stingers on its body. ''Beedle'' is similar, but refers to {{wp|bee}}s instead.

'''Caterpie''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''キャタピー ''' ''Caterpie'') is a {{type2|Bug}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Metapod}} starting at [[level]] 7, who evolves into {{p|Butterfree}} starting at level 10.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Caterpie resembles a green caterpillar with yellow ring-shaped markings down the sides of its body. Its most notable characteristic is the bright orange antennae on its head. These and the large eye-shaped markings help to startle predators. It shares many characteristics with other larval Pokémon such as {{p|Weedle}} and {{p|Wurmple}}, suggesting that their evolutionary lines are closely related.
====Gender differences====
None.

===Special abilities===
The antennae on its head will emit a terrible stench from it if the Caterpie is frightened or if the antennae are touched. This serves as an effective protective mechanism against most predators. Its feet are tipped with suction cups, permitting this Pokémon to scale most surfaces with minimal effort. It can also {{m|String Shot|spit a string from its mouth}} in order to entangle foes as the viewers see in ''[[EP003|Ash Catches a Pokémon]]'', when Caterpie uses string shot on the villainous Team Rocket.

===Behavior===
Caterpie grow very quickly, and need to eat voraciously in order to meet their energy requirements. They have various adaptations which permit them to safely devour plant material, including an antennae that releases a horrible smell. It will shed its skin many times before finally cocooning itself in thick silk. While some {{pkmn|Trainer}}s are disgusted by the idea of {{type2|Bug}} Pokémon, they are ideal targets for new Trainers as they are fairly weak in the wild and evolve into their final forms at a low level.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Forest.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Forest Pokémon|Forest Pokémon]]]]
Caterpie can often be found in wooded areas, such as [[Viridian Forest]].

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Caterpie primarily feed on vegetation, such as tree leaves. According to [[Pokémon Adventures]], its favorite food is the Vermilion flower.

==In the anime==
[[Image:Ash's Caterpie.png|thumb|right|240px|{{AP|Caterpie}} in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Ash's Butterfree|Ash's Caterpie]]====
[[Ash Ketchum]] had a Caterpie he caught in ''[[EP003|Ash Catches a Pokémon]]'' that evolved into {{p|Metapod}} in the same episode and then {{p|Butterfree}} [[EP004|the following episode]].

====Other====

A Caterpie that appeared in ''[[AG142|Caterpie's Big Dilemma]]'' belonging to a young trainer named [[Xander]] ate some of [[Dr. Gordon]]'s enhanced [[Rare Candies]] and turned [[Giant Pokémon|giant]]. Xander's Caterpie eventually evolved into a {{wp|Mothra|Mothra-sized}} {{p|Butterfree}}.

===Minor appearances===
A Pink Caterpie appeared in [[EP088| In the Pink]]

A Caterpie was used by one of the students of the [[Pokémon Trainer's School]] in ''[[AG015|Gonna Rule The School!]]''.

A Caterpie appeared in ''[[DP091|One Team, Two Team, Red Team, Blue Team!]]''.

A Caterpie also appeared in ''[[DP038|One Big Happiny Family!]]'' in [[Jessie]]'s fantasy.

In the English dub of ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]'', [[Attila]] mentioned he used to collect Caterpie.

===Pokédex entries===
{{Animedexheader|Emerald}}
{{Animedexbody|AG142|Caterpie|May's Pokédex|Caterpie, the Worm Pokémon. Caterpie uses the suction cups on its feet to climb trees and feed on its favorite leaves.}}
{{Animedexfooter/Pokémon|''Advanced Generation''|Emerald}}

== In the manga ==
In [[Pokémon Get da ze!]], [[Shū]] has a Caterpie that he uses in various creative ways, mostly involving strange uses of its {{m|String Shot}}.

In ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Ginji's Rescue Team]]'', a Caterpie was attacked by an {{p|Ariados}}. [[Ginji]] had to save the Caterpie from harm.

===Pokémon Adventures===
Caterpie's first appearance is a cameo in ''[[PS002|Bulbasaur, Come Home!]]'' as one of the Pokémon that escapes from [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]]. It also makes a cameo in ''[[PS003|The Secret of Kangaskhan]]''.

{{adv|Yellow}} had a Caterpie named Kitty, which she did not want to [[evolution|evolve]]. However, in the battle against [[Lance]], she did not have her [[Pokédex]], which she needed to stop her Pokémon from evolving, and so Caterpie evolved into {{p|Metapod}} and then into {{p|Butterfree}} right afterwards.

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

== Game data ==
=== NPC appearances ===
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]]: Caterpie is rescued in the first mission of the game. It is too young to be of any help to the rescue team but remains a strong fan throughout the game, even in its darkest hour.

Novelty Pokémon

2010-01-03T19:53:15Z

Qwart: /* List of novelty Pokémon */

A '''novelty Pokémon''', also referred to as a '''gimmick Pokémon''', is a term for a [[Pokémon]] species without evolutions, little use in battle, and/or a limited movepool. Such Pokémon usually possess some novel quality about them that makes them unique or interesting but lack the ability to be readily shaped up for battle, causing them to be underused or overlooked. Although nearly all Pokémon can be used in a battle effectively, novelty Pokémon appear to be more added to flesh out the Pokémon world than to be actually used or as fodder for potential evolutions later.

Many of these Pokémon became viable participants in Pokémon Contests after they were introduced in Generation III.

==List of novelty Pokémon==
* With many other Pokémon sharing its type and most of its abilities, {{p|Farfetch'd}} was a novelty Pokémon in the first generation due to the fact it was rare and could only be acquired by trading. Farfetch'd itself is likely a reference to trading; its habit of playing fetch is similar to trading. Farfetch'd also gets its own unique item, the Stick.
* {{p|Ditto}} only has one move — {{m|Transform}} — which lets it copy the appearance, types, moves, and stats (excluding HP) of its opponents. Ditto is not very useful in battle, but invaluable in breeding.
* Capable of learning only {{m|Hidden Power|one move}}, {{p|Unown}}'s main purpose in the games is to be collected, a sidequest that consists of finding its 28 [[form differences|forms]].
* {{p|Shuckle}} has very high Defense and Special Defense, making it quite difficult to weaken and good for holding up many attacks. However, it has very low HP, Attack and Special Attack, and, tied with {{p|Munchlax}}, the lowest Speed of any other Pokémon. It is capable of creating valuable [[Rare Candy|Rare Candies]] if one has it hold an [[Oran Berry]].
* {{p|Delibird}} is capable of naturally learning only {{m|Present|a single move}} and is the [[signature moves|only Pokémon who can learn it naturally]]. However, unlike Unown, it can learn other moves via TMs and breeding. It is largely still considered a novelty Pokémon, however.
* {{p|Smeargle}} learns only {{m|Sketch|one move repeatedly}}, but this move has the ability to permanently duplicate the moves of other Pokémon. Its stats and rarity may look dismal, but with the capability of learning every move, it is very useful in breeding egg moves to Pokémon, as well as using {{m|Baton Pass}} well.
* {{p|Sableye}} was the only Pokémon with no weaknesses until {{p|Spiritomb}} was introduced in Generation IV. In Generation IV, it still is a novelty Pokémon due to its bizarre, but unique ability; {{a|Stall}}.
* {{p|Plusle}} and {{p|Minun}} were simply created to showcase the [[double battle]] addition to the series in Generation III. As such, they are difficult to use separately.
* {{p|Volbeat}} was the only Pokémon that was able to learn {{m|Tail Glow}} in Generation III. However in Generation IV, {{p|Manaphy}} could learn it as well and there is {{m|Nasty Plot|another move}} that has the same effect as Tail Glow. For this reason, Volbeat is considered to be a novelty Pokémon.
* {{p|Spinda}}'s main gimmick is the variable designs on its body, in a bit of an expansion of the Unown concept. However, it is not considered to be very useful in battle.
* {{p|Castform}} has a {{a|Forecast|unique ability}} to change [[form differences|form]] depending on the weather. It was also the only Pokémon to learn {{m|Weather Ball}} until [[Generation IV]].
* {{p|Kecleon}} has a {{a|Color Change|unique ability}} unto itself; however, this ability makes it notoriously difficult to use in battles, as the ability can be taken advantage of for super-effective hits every time.
* {{p|Luvdisc}} are known to be weak and have a poor moveset, but can be caught holding [[Heart Scale]]s which can be used to teach old moves.
* {{P|Pachirisu}} have very low offensive stats and none of its abilities have any effect in battle, however is one of the few Pokémon able to learn {{m|Super Fang}}.
* {{p|Chatot}} is comparatively weak to others of its type, and it also has a low catch rate, but it can use {{m|Chatter}} to repeat back messages recorded on the [[Nintendo DS|DS]] microphone.
* {{p|Burmy}} and its various cloaks are considered just to be an example of the new location based evolutions

'''Blue''' (Japanese: '''グリーン''' ''Green'') is the second main character of the {{pkmn|manga}} series [[Pokémon Adventures]]. He is the grandson of [[Professor Oak]].

Blue debuts in the first round of the manga, ''[[PS001|A Glimpse of the Glow]]'' where he and his rival {{adv|Red}} see a {{p|Mew}} in a [[Pallet Town]] forest. His first [[Pokémon]] was a {{p|Scyther}} -- he is shown with one when he was a child. When he was young, he trained in [[Johto]] under [[Chuck]], the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Cianwood City]].

Blue's special skill, as described by [[Professor Oak]], is [[Pokémon training]] -- that is, leveling them up and making them strong, and as such is referred to as the '''"{{pkmn|Trainer}}"''' (Japanese: 育てる者 ''Trainer'').

Blue has a serious, calm, and focused personality in everything he does. Although Red and Blue were once bothered by each other because their personalities are so opposite, they ended up resolving their differences.

Blue and his Scyther were trained by Chuck of Cianwood City when he was a child. Thus, Blue has some cursory knowledge of martial arts, and his Scyther knew [[Generation II]] techniques.

Blue also has a rivalry with [[Koga]] of [[Team Rocket]]. This began when Blue almost killed Koga's {{p|Arbok}} by having his {{p|Charmeleon}} {{m|cut}} it in two, and continued on throughout the series until Koga's reclusion.

==Character history==
==={{chap|Red, Green & Blue}}===
[[File:Blue Adventures RGB.png|thumb|110px|right|Blue's original design]]
[[File:PABlue.jpg|thumb|left|Blue in the first chapter]]

Blue was first seen by Red when he was battling a Mew with his Charmander, only to recall it after he thought it was too strong for him. This angered Red to a point that he decided to challenge Mew himself, only to be quickly defeated. Blue then told Red that he needs to know when he's outmatched and leaves. He then encounters Green again who is attacking any Pokémon he sees to tell if they are worthy of catching, accidentally hitting Red's [[Poli]] in the process, but eventually the Pokémon he wanted to capture in the first place appeared, {{p|Kangaskhan}}, however it got away after Red healed the baby Kangaskhan who had been poisoned by a Poison-type Pokémon. It is this incident where a rivalry develops between these two. He is next seen in Pewter City with intent on challenging Brock and is later seen battling him with his newly evolved {{p|Charmeleon}}. He then goes to the Pokémon Tower after meeting Mr. Fuji, only to be caught under the control of the {{p|Gastly}}, until Red defeats them and frees him. The two of them eventually runs into [[Koga]], who has been controlling the Gastly this whole time, however Blue eventually has his Charmeleon cut Koga's {{p|Arbok}} in half, making Koga swear a personal vendetta against him.

During the course of their adventures, Red and Blue accidentally traded Pokémon, including his new {{p|Porygon}}, which the man at the front desk of the Game Corner said would be very difficult to train since he didn't catch it himself. This caused Blue's {{p|Machoke}} to evolve, and Blue took the opportunity to teach Red's Pokémon more exotic, varied, and useful moves. Red's training on Blue's Pokémon made them more playful and lighthearted, something that greatly annoyed Blue.

After he unsuccessfully tries to enter Saffron City he returns to Pallet Town to tell Red about the barrier and how he believes from a picture he too depicting several Team Rocket together that Saffron City is their hideout, and Blue in turn learns that his grandfather is missing. He then tells Red that since it is his grandfather that is missing, that he is the only one to save him and wants him to back off, although Green finally convinces the two of them to work together. They get separated in Silph Co. and ends up running into Koga on 2F, who instead of allowing Blue to reach his Poké Balls, subdues him with his {{p|Muk}}. He tells Blue that rather than kill him on the spot, he wants to use him to get his grandfather to cooperate with them, to which he refuses. He then takes a Razor Wind to the chest and is seemingly rendered incapable of moving. When Red appears after defeating [[Lt. Surge]] Koga traps him to, having Blue reveal that he was really wearing a reflective pendant given to him by Oak and that allowed him to have his Pidgeot attack Koga before he could kill both of them. Koga then calls his {{p|Articuno}} and freezes the two of them, only for Koga to realize that Blue previously called out his Charizard to keep the room warm enough for them to melt and Koga was then subsequently defeated. Green then took Koga's Soul Badge and gave it to Red. They split up after that, Red to help Green, and Blue to save his grandfather, who was trapped in the basement, which he found out using Koga's Golbat. He finds his grandpa and realizes that all of the people from [[Pallet Town]] are tied up just a floor below them. He comes back in order to help Red and Green fight Sabrina and [[Zapmolcuno]] and after Red's [[Saur]] evolves and Green's Clefairy evolves into a Clefable, they defeat Sabrina and Zapmolcuno is split.

At the [[Pokémon League]] tournament, Red's [[Saur|Venusaur]] barely defeats Blue's {{TP|Blue|Charizard}}. This tames their rivalry as the two finally begin to respect each other, and begin to become friendly rivals.

Blue's cockiness becomes subdued as the story continues, and his personality becomes less mocking and more aloof and quiet. He is also able to rely on instinct more and constantly adapt his strategy. He often becomes flummoxed by {{adv|Green}}'s hyperactive meddling in everyone's affairs.

==={{chap|Yellow}}===
In the Yellow Saga, Blue is first seen defeating a Gastly that all of the good Gym Leaders and Yellow were fighting. He then reveals that it had belonged to [[Agatha]] whom he had battle previously at the [[Power Plant]] due to the grudge she has toward his grandfather. He then says that he had cut off all contact with him just so nobody could listen in. Before he leaves Yellow wishes to train with him, which he allows.

Then he recalls to Yellow the time when he battled against Agatha. It was back during the time of the first chapter when Red was battling Giovanni. Blue had just caught a Lapras that another boy named Bozz was eyeing because he wanted a strong pokémon so he could enter the Power Plant to save his Haunter which disappeared into there. He talked to his grandfather and he had heard similar rumors so Blue decided to investigate. He defeated several Magneton along the way before he finally encountered Agatha. After Bozz let it slip that Blue was Oak's grandson she decided to destroy him instead of toy with him like she had planned initially. She had her Gengar use Hypnosis on him and then use Dream Eater to drain his power. His dream was of when he was training with Chuck and he made him do things without the help of his Pokémon and after he complained, Chuck made him realize that not only must a Pokémon be strong to defeat an opponent, but so must a trainer. He then has his Golduck transfer his thoughts into his Pokédex for Bozz to read and have him learn the same lesson, so he could rescue his Haunter which was in Poké Ball behind Agatha so its attack would disrupt Gengar's Dream Eater. This plan works and after Blue escapes, Agatha disappears before he could get any answers on how she knows his grandfather.

He tutors {{adv|Yellow}} in more intense strategies for {{pkmn|battle}}s. It is during this training that Blue learns that Yellow doesn't know the basics of Pokémon. All of her Pokémon were given to her, she didn't know what moves [[Ratty]] knew and cried when it evolved since she didn't think it was Ratty anymore, and couldn't catch a simple {{p|Caterpie}} because she didn't want to hurt it so Blue had to catch it for her. He later teamed up with Yellow to defeat an entire pack of Mankey but when it became clear that Yellow could not defeat the leading Primeape he took it upon itself to defeat it with his Porygon. Yellow then goes off to continue training on her own.

He then appears to Blaine at Cerise Island and the two of them try to take on the Elite Four, only for them to run into the three Rocet Admins, [[Koga]], [[Lt. Surge]], and [[Sabrina]].

Later, he is paired up with Koga by Sabrina's Spoons of Destiny. Before he finds an opponent he returns Golbat to Koga which he had kept with him ever since the incident at Silph Co. The pair of them fight [[Agatha]] of the [[Elite Four]] once again. During the battle he and Koga are separated and he is forced to use Koga's Golbat once again after he is blinded by Agatha's Haunter's {{m|Lick}}, forcing him to have Golbat use echolocation to realize that there was another Golbat coming at him. After a while of evading the Golbat Koga started throwing shuriken balls containing Paralyze Heals, one of which got to Blue and he was able to rejoin the battle, and defeat Agatha. Although it turns out that Agatha wasn't really defeated and was actually having her Gengar become Koga and Blue's shadow and was slowly sucking the life out of them and due to Koga's quick loss of blood Gengar was able to get away with this for a moderate time. They figured it out, however, and it was defeated.

==={{chap|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}===
Blue comes to take on the role of the [[Viridian City]] Gym Leader after Red is forced to turn it down. He captures several powerful Pokémon that were enraged by the Pokémon March Radio song that was accidently being played by the Pokémon Association. While he was initially turned down because he wasn't qualified but after he caught the rampaging Pokémon and was able to locate the cause, he was given the job. He then informs Red of how to heal his wounds that Lorelei's ice cuffs created, and gave him his [[Green's Charizard|his Charizard]] to help him make it there easier. He assists in the final battle with the [[Masked Man]].

==={{chap|FireRed & LeafGreen}}===
Blue and Red go to Professor Oak's lab at the professor's request. They don't see the professor but find a note that tells them to return the Pokédexes. As they leave they are attacked by a mysterious [[Pokémon]].
They decide to go to the [[Sevii Islands]].
He and Red go through a series of tests given to them by [[Brinca]] to obtain the ultimate attacks, {{m|Blast Burn}} and {{m|Frenzy Plant}}. Blue teaches the legendary {{type2|Fire}} move Blast Burn to his Charizard.
After meeting up with Elite Four member, [[Lorelei]], they split up to defend the Sevii Islands from Team Rocket.
Blue fights with [[Oca]] of the [[Beast Warrior Trio]] and his {{p|Shuckle}}s, learning that Team Rocket kidnapped his grandfather.
After saving Prof. Oak, he traveled back to Kanto, and helped stop the Team Rocket airship from crashing into [[Vermilion City]].
He was turned into stone soon afterwards by an energy explosion.

He, along with the other four who were turned to stone, were shipped to the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}} in a box to be revived.

==={{chap|Emerald}}===
For the most part of this chapter, he, along with four other Pokédex-holders, remained turned into stone. It was only at nearly the end of the chapter that he and the others were liberated by {{adv|Emerald}} with the help of the wish-granting [[legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Jirachi}}.

==Trivia==
*Blue and {{adv|Green}} are the only main Pokémon Adventures characters whose names were changed for the English translation. This is due to the complexity of [[Generation I]]'s game releases, where in Japan, Red Version was paired with Green Version (leaving Blue as the third), and in the rest of the world Red was paired with Blue (while there was no Green). This name change is present in both the [[VIZ Media]] and [[Chuang Yi]] translations. His {{ga|Blue|game counterpart}} is also named Blue in the English translation of [[Generation II]]'s games.
** A panel in the original VIZ printing of [[Pokémon Adventures volume 3|volume 3]] forgets to make this change, however. When the Pokémon League scoreboard is shown, Red's rival is identified as "GREEN" and Green is identified as "BLUE". This error was still present in the "[[The Best of Pokémon Adventures#Red volume|Best of Pokémon Adventures]]" compilation volume, but was corrected for the 2009 second edition.
*Both the Japanese and Chinese print show that [[Professor Oak]] is Blue's paternal grandfather.
*Blue is one of three Pokédex holders to have a last name, the other two are {{adv|Sapphire}} and {{adv|Platinum}}.
**He is also the only male Pokédex holder to have a known last name.
*Blue's birthday is November 22nd.

'''Blue''' (Japanese: '''グリーン''' ''Green'') is the second main character of the {{pkmn|manga}} series [[Pokémon Adventures]]. He is the grandson of [[Professor Oak]].

Blue debuts in the first round of the manga, ''[[PS001|A Glimpse of the Glow]]'' where he and his rival {{adv|Red}} see a {{p|Mew}} in a [[Pallet Town]] forest. His first [[Pokémon]] was a {{p|Scyther}} -- he is shown one when he was a child. When he was young, he trained in [[Johto]] under [[Chuck]], the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Cianwood City]].

Blue's special skill, as described by [[Professor Oak]], is [[Pokémon training]] -- that is, leveling them up and making them strong, and as such is referred to as the '''"{{pkmn|Trainer}}"''' (Japanese: 育てる者 ''Trainer'').

Blue has a serious, calm, and focused personality in everything he does. Although Red and Blue were once bothered by each other because their personalities are so opposite, they ended up resolving their differences.

Blue and his Scyther were trained by Chuck of Cianwood City when he was a child. Thus, Blue has some cursory knowledge of martial arts, and his Scyther knew [[Generation II]] techniques.

Blue also has a rivalry with [[Koga]] of [[Team Rocket]]. This began when Blue almost killed Koga's {{p|Arbok}} by having his {{p|Charmeleon}} {{m|cut}} it in two, and continued on throughout the series until Koga's reclusion.

==Character history==
==={{chap|Red, Green & Blue}}===
[[File:Blue Adventures RGB.png|thumb|110px|right|Blue's original design]]
[[File:PABlue.jpg|thumb|left|Blue in the first chapter]]

Blue was first seen by Red when he was battling a Mew with his Charmander, only to recall it after he thought it was too strong for him. This angered Red to a point that he decided to challenge Mew himself, only to be quickly defeated. Blue then told Red that he needs to know when he's outmatched and leaves. He then encounters Green again who is attacking any Pokémon he sees to tell if they are worthy of catching, accidentally hitting Red's [[Poli]] in the process, but eventually the Pokémon he wanted to capture in the first place appeared, {{p|Kangaskhan}}, however it got away after Red healed the baby Kangaskhan who had been poisoned by a Poison-type Pokémon. It is this incident where a rivalry develops between these two. He is next seen in Pewter City with intent on challenging Brock and is later seen battling him with his newly evolved {{p|Charmeleon}}. He then goes to the Pokémon Tower after meeting Mr. Fuji, only to be caught under the control of the {{p|Gastly}}, until Red defeats them and frees him. The two of them eventually runs into [[Koga]], who has been controlling the Gastly this whole time, however Blue eventually has his Charmeleon cut Koga's {{p|Arbok}} in half, making Koga swear a personal vendetta against him.

During the course of their adventures, Red and Blue accidentally traded Pokémon, including his new {{p|Porygon}}, which the man at the front desk of the Game Corner said would be very difficult to train since he didn't catch it himself. This caused Blue's {{p|Machoke}} to evolve, and Blue took the opportunity to teach Red's Pokémon more exotic, varied, and useful moves. Red's training on Blue's Pokémon made them more playful and lighthearted, something that greatly annoyed Blue.

After he unsuccessfully tries to enter Saffron City he returns to Pallet Town to tell Red about the barrier and how he believes from a picture he too depicting several Team Rocket together that Saffron City is their hideout, and Blue in turn learns that his grandfather is missing. He then tells Red that since it is his grandfather that is missing, that he is the only one to save him and wants him to back off, although Green finally convinces the two of them to work together. They get separated in Silph Co. and ends up running into Koga on 2F, who instead of allowing Blue to reach his Poké Balls, subdues him with his {{p|Muk}}. He tells Blue that rather than kill him on the spot, he wants to use him to get his grandfather to cooperate with them, to which he refuses. He then takes a Razor Wind to the chest and is seemingly rendered incapable of moving. When Red appears after defeating [[Lt. Surge]] Koga traps him to, having Blue reveal that he was really wearing a reflective pendant given to him by Oak and that allowed him to have his Pidgeot attack Koga before he could kill both of them. Koga then calls his {{p|Articuno}} and freezes the two of them, only for Koga to realize that Blue previously called out his Charizard to keep the room warm enough for them to melt and Koga was then subsequently defeated. Green then took Koga's Soul Badge and gave it to Red. They split up after that, Red to help Green, and Blue to save his grandfather, who was trapped in the basement, which he found out using Koga's Golbat. He finds his grandpa and realizes that all of the people from [[Pallet Town]] are tied up just a floor below them. He comes back in order to help Red and Green fight Sabrina and [[Zapmolcuno]] and after Red's [[Saur]] evolves and Green's Clefairy evolves into a Clefable, they defeat Sabrina and Zapmolcuno is split.

At the [[Pokémon League]] tournament, Red's [[Saur|Venusaur]] barely defeats Blue's {{TP|Blue|Charizard}}. This tames their rivalry as the two finally begin to respect each other, and begin to become friendly rivals.

Blue's cockiness becomes subdued as the story continues, and his personality becomes less mocking and more aloof and quiet. He is also able to rely on instinct more and constantly adapt his strategy. He often becomes flummoxed by {{adv|Green}}'s hyperactive meddling in everyone's affairs.

==={{chap|Yellow}}===
In the Yellow Saga, Blue is first seen defeating a Gastly that all of the good Gym Leaders and Yellow were fighting. He then reveals that it had belonged to [[Agatha]] whom he had battle previously at the [[Power Plant]] due to the grudge she has toward his grandfather. He then says that he had cut off all contact with him just so nobody could listen in. Before he leaves Yellow wishes to train with him, which he allows.

Then he recalls to Yellow the time when he battled against Agatha. It was back during the time of the first chapter when Red was battling Giovanni. Blue had just caught a Lapras that another boy named Bozz was eyeing because he wanted a strong pokémon so he could enter the Power Plant to save his Haunter which disappeared into there. He talked to his grandfather and he had heard similar rumors so Blue decided to investigate. He defeated several Magneton along the way before he finally encountered Agatha. After Bozz let it slip that Blue was Oak's grandson she decided to destroy him instead of toy with him like she had planned initially. She had her Gengar use Hypnosis on him and then use Dream Eater to drain his power. His dream was of when he was training with Chuck and he made him do things without the help of his Pokémon and after he complained, Chuck made him realize that not only must a Pokémon be strong to defeat an opponent, but so must a trainer. He then has his Golduck transfer his thoughts into his Pokédex for Bozz to read and have him learn the same lesson, so he could rescue his Haunter which was in Poké Ball behind Agatha so its attack would disrupt Gengar's Dream Eater. This plan works and after Blue escapes, Agatha disappears before he could get any answers on how she knows his grandfather.

He tutors {{adv|Yellow}} in more intense strategies for {{pkmn|battle}}s. It is during this training that Blue learns that Yellow doesn't know the basics of Pokémon. All of her Pokémon were given to her, she didn't know what moves [[Ratty]] knew and cried when it evolved since she didn't think it was Ratty anymore, and couldn't catch a simple {{p|Caterpie}} because she didn't want to hurt it so Blue had to catch it for her. He later teamed up with Yellow to defeat an entire pack of Mankey but when it became clear that Yellow could not defeat the leading Primeape he took it upon itself to defeat it with his Porygon. Yellow then goes off to continue training on her own.

He then appears to Blaine at Cerise Island and the two of them try to take on the Elite Four, only for them to run into the three Rocet Admins, [[Koga]], [[Lt. Surge]], and [[Sabrina]].

Later, he is paired up with Koga by Sabrina's Spoons of Destiny. Before he finds an opponent he returns Golbat to Koga which he had kept with him ever since the incident at Silph Co. The pair of them fight [[Agatha]] of the [[Elite Four]] once again. During the battle he and Koga are separated and he is forced to use Koga's Golbat once again after he is blinded by Agatha's Haunter's {{m|Lick}}, forcing him to have Golbat use echolocation to realize that there was another Golbat coming at him. After a while of evading the Golbat Koga started throwing shuriken balls containing Paralyze Heals, one of which got to Blue and he was able to rejoin the battle, and defeat Agatha. Although it turns out that Agatha wasn't really defeated and was actually having her Gengar become Koga and Blue's shadow and was slowly sucking the life out of them and due to Koga's quick loss of blood Gengar was able to get away with this for a moderate time. They figured it out, however, and it was defeated.

==={{chap|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}===
Blue comes to take on the role of the [[Viridian City]] Gym Leader after Red is forced to turn it down. He captures several powerful Pokémon that were enraged by the Pokémon March Radio song that was accidently being played by the Pokémon Association. While he was initially turned down because he wasn't qualified but after he caught the rampaging Pokémon and was able to locate the cause, he was given the job. He then informs Red of how to heal his wounds that Lorelei's ice cuffs created, and gave him his [[Green's Charizard|his Charizard]] to help him make it there easier. He assists in the final battle with the [[Masked Man]].

==={{chap|FireRed & LeafGreen}}===
Blue and Red go to Professor Oak's lab at the professor's request. They don't see the professor but find a note that tells them to return the Pokédexes. As they leave they are attacked by a mysterious [[Pokémon]].
They decide to go to the [[Sevii Islands]].
He and Red go through a series of tests given to them by [[Brinca]] to obtain the ultimate attacks, {{m|Blast Burn}} and {{m|Frenzy Plant}}. Blue teaches the legendary {{type2|Fire}} move Blast Burn to his Charizard.
After meeting up with Elite Four member, [[Lorelei]], they split up to defend the Sevii Islands from Team Rocket.
Blue fights with [[Oca]] of the [[Beast Warrior Trio]] and his {{p|Shuckle}}s, learning that Team Rocket kidnapped his grandfather.
After saving Prof. Oak, he traveled back to Kanto, and helped stop the Team Rocket airship from crashing into [[Vermilion City]].
He was turned into stone soon afterwards by an energy explosion.

He, along with the other four who were turned to stone, were shipped to the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}} in a box to be revived.

==={{chap|Emerald}}===
For the most part of this chapter, he, along with four other Pokédex-holders, remained turned into stone. It was only at nearly the end of the chapter that he and the others were liberated by {{adv|Emerald}} with the help of the wish-granting [[legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Jirachi}}.

'''Jessiebelle''' (Japanese: '''ルミカ''' ''Rumika'') was the woman appointed to be [[James]]'s fiancée by his [[James's parents|parents]] in the [[Pokémon anime]]. She first appeared in ''[[EP048|Holy Matrimony!]]''. In [[DP153]] it was revealed the arrangement was actually made after James expressed interest in her while they were children, unfortunately it wasn't until after the engagement was announced that James was exposed to her less than tolerable personality.

In ''[[EP048|Holy Matrimony!]]'', James returned to his parents's mansion in [[Kanto]] after receiving word that they had died. However, this was just a hoax to lure him into marrying Jessiebelle; if he did marry her, he would receive his massive inheritance. However it soon became apparent that James was absolutely terrified of Jessiebelle; he explained to [[Jessie]], {{MTR}}, and {{Ash}}'s {{ashfr|group}} how the marriage had been arranged when he and Jessiebelle were young, and she had always been bossy. She would follow him around constantly tormenting him and telling him what to do and how he should do things. She's the main reason why James ran away from home.

Since he had not seen Jessiebelle for years, James was shocked to discover that she had an almost identical appearance to [[Jessie]]. Jessiebelle expelled Jessie, Meowth, and Ash's group from the home and chased James around the mansion's basement, threatening him with her {{p|Vileplume}}'s {{m|Stun Spore}} and a long whip. Eventually, James's old pet {{p|Growlithe}}, [[Growlie]], came to rescue him from Jessiebelle. The two had a Pokémon battle, with Growlie being victorious and Jessiebelle running off the estate.
[[File:Jessiebelle.png|250px|thumb|left|Jessiebelle as seen in [[DP153]]]]
Jessiebelle is, as demonstrated by her debut appearance, extremely controlling and obsessive. She is a stuck-up, elitist woman with a dominatrix personality, and her professed affection for James may very possibly be a front just to get at his parents's money, though his parents are oblivious to the possibility as they deem her to be their idea of a "perfect daughter in law."

James still appears to not have changed his feelings on Jessiebelle. On arrival in Sinnoh in ''[[DP002|Two Degrees of Separation]]'', he was happy to visit his second summer home until he was told that Jessiebelle was on her way there, and he along with Jessie and Meowth promptly left the premises. She reappeared in [[DP153]], where she once again fiercely chased after her eternal run-away fiancée, much to his horror.

* Jessiebelle's English name is both a pun on Jessie's name and a near-homonym of {{wp|Jezebel (Bible)|Jezebel}}.

* Possibly because of her many similarities to Jessie, the voice actresses (from around the world) that have played Jessiebelle are played by the same voice actresses who played Jessie, except in the [[Pokémon in Portugal|European Portuguese]] dub and the Polish dub, who had respectively [[Sandra Faleiro]] and [[Olga Borys]] as Jessiebelle's voice actress.

Pokémon-X (webcomic)

2009-12-08T22:14:23Z

Qwart: /* Recon Dye */

'''Pokémon-X''' is a sprite-based webcomic by '''Recon Dye'''. The comic is based on the storyline of {{game|Emerald|}}, and follows the adventures of {{ga|Brendan}}, {{ga|May}} and [[Wally]] around the island of [[Hoenn]].

The comic is usually updated three times a week on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. The first issue was published on June 2, 2003, and the most recent panel was published in November, 2009. However, the date the most recent comic was published does not match the actual date of publication. Recon Dye has stated that this is because he lists the date as the date he intended the comic to be published. School and other activities caused him to fall several months behind schedule, and he is attempting to catch up as much as possible.

Over this six-year period, more than 900 comics have been published. The comic is aimed at mature audiences due to its use of moderate language and mature situations. Recon Dye uses sprites from Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald to make character sprites and wild Pokémon battles and {{g|Mystery Dungeon}} sprites for Pokémon during trainer battles (though he started off using the regular sprites from Ruby and Sapphire, along with a few custom sprites).

==Plot==
The plot is largely the same as that of {{v2|Emerald}}: a new boy in town saves a [[Pokémon professor]] from a wild Pokémon and is given a Pokémon as a reward. He meets the professor's child and travels around the region battling [[Gym Leader]]s. A friendly rivalry is struck between the two. Along the way, a third child is met, and two rival, villainous teams battle for control of the region. The trio of Trainers travel to each location in the same order as in the games, and with the same intents and purposes (deliver letter for [[Steven Stone|Steven]], take Wally to {{to|Verdanturf}}, etc.). The most recent chapter of the comic has Brendan preparing to challenge [[Flannery]] in [[Lavaridge Town]].

There are, naturally, some key differences from the games. Each of the characters has a unique personality, such as Brendan seeming dull and dim-witted at many points. Brendan and May travel together, and Wally is part of the group for longer than he is in the games.

==Characters==
===Brendan Richards===
[[File:BrendanWiki.png|thumb|right|200px|Brendan Richards]]

Brendan is based on the male playable character of Ruby and Sapphire. He has recently moved to [[Littleroot Town]] from {{ci|Ecruteak}}, [[Johto]]. As such, he is familiar with the Pokémon [[List of Pokémon by Johto Pokédex number|native to his region]], but not the species that inhabit his new home. May is often in disbelief when he mentions the Pokémon not found in the [[Hoenn]] region. After using {{p|Torchic}} to rescue [[Professor Birch]] from an angry {{p|Poochyena}}, he deems him worthy enough to travel the land and complete the [[Pokédex]].

Brendan is believed to be fairly dim-witted, although he has knowledge about certain sciences like thermodynamics, and can often say things of very high intelligence. Although he is the hero, he is driven by selfish desires and meager rewards. He does however seem to care about his Pokémon and uses them with some good strategic plans.

Brendan travels through Hoenn with Birch's daughter, May and the sickly Wally. He competes for [[Badge]]s at various [[Gym]]s along the way. His motivation for this is to become rich and famous (with a couple of chicks on the side). He has been smitten with May since first seeing her topless in an early comic.

His Pokémon include, but are not limited to: Rocky, a {{p|Poochyena}} (later {{p|Mightyena}}) that was infected with two strains of the [[Pokérus]], making him [[Shiny Pokémon|shiny]] and giving him the ability to speak; a {{p|Torchic}} which evolved into {{p|Combusken}} in the [[Dewford Gym|Dewford City Gym]]; a {{p|Hariyama}} (nicknamed [[List of in-game trades#Ruby and Sapphire|Makit]]); a {{p|Zubat}} which evolved into a {{p|Golbat}}; and a {{p|Wurmple}} who evolved into {{p|Cascoon}} in Brendan's first double battle and eventually evolved into {{p|Dustox}}. While Torchic was Brendan's [[starter Pokémon|first]], Rocky is his strongest Pokémon and best friend.

Brendan also seems to hate {{p|Geodude}} ever since he challenged the [[Rustboro Gym|Rustboro City Gym]] as every trainer in the gym had at least one Geodude and was angry when May caught a Geodude in [[Granite Cave]].

Brendan's surname is not given in any canon media; as such "Richards" is an invention of Recon Dye. He states in a note accompanying one comic that he chose it because it is a fairly common name.

===May Birch===
May is based on the female player character of {{3v2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}. As Brendan takes the role of the main protagonist, May assumes a position similar to that of the games' [[rival#Pseudo Rival|pseudo-rival]].

May is the daughter of [[Professor Birch]], and is traveling with Brendan so they can complete their Pokédex. She is shown to be handy with technology, and manages to link the three Pokédex of the traveling party so that they can achieve their goal easily. She dislikes Brendan's immaturity, and can be seen as the sensible leader of the group. May also hacked Brendan's and Wally's Pokédex so that she gets the money they earn after they win a battle.

May started with a {{p|Mudkip}} that later evolved into a {{p|Marshtomp}} in [[Slateport City]] after defeating a [[Team Aqua Grunt]]. Her other Pokémon include {{p|Aron}} (which she caught in Granite Cave), {{p|Whismur}} (which she caught at {{rt|116}}), {{p|Sableye}} (which she got by trading an Electrike with Wally), {{p|Linoone}}, which evolved from a {{p|Zigzagoon}}, {{p|Wurmple}}, which evolved into a {{p|Silcoon}} that eventually evolved into {{p|Beautifly}}, and {{p|Geodude}} (which she also caught in Granite Cave), much to Brendan's dismay.

May usually tries to keep Brendan from challenging gyms, although the badge is later revealed to be required to do something the group has to do, such as {{m|Rock Smash}} being required to break the rocks in [[Rusturf Tunnel]] so that Brendan and May can go back to {{to|Littleroot}}, only to be given another task.

===Wally Anderson===
Wally was first encountered outside [[Petalburg City]], just as [[Wally]] is encountered in the games. A frail and sickly child, Wally has an obsession with the color green, and any Pokémon that have green on it, such as {{p|Nincada}}, as well. The biggest reason for his sickness is his mother who thinks he is sick when he isn't. He travels with May and Brendan so that he can get to Verdanturf Town where the air is clearer and healthier.

In one of Wally's flashbacks, which May and Brendan didn't really listen to, on [[Mr. Briney]]'s ship, he drowned and was apparently rescued by {{p|Rayquaza|a green Pokémon}}.

After finally arriving in Verdanturf, Brendan, May and Rocky left him there. He was then met again in Mauville City, where he decided to travel with them again.

His starter Pokémon, given to him by May, was a {{p|Treecko}} (which was meant actually meant for Monty) which later evolved into {{p|Grovyle}} on {{rt|110}} after defeating a {{p|Zigzagoon}}, but the first Pokémon he caught was a {{p|Ralts}} (which, like in the games, Brendan helped him catch), which later evolved into {{p|Kirlia}}. He also has {{p|Shroomish}} (which he caught in [[Petalburg Woods]]), {{p|Lombre}} (which he caught at {{rt|114}}), {{p|Oddish}} (which he got in a trade with Brendan for a Mawile he caught in Granite Cave after spending many hours looking for it), and {{p|Electrike}} (which he got in a trade with May for a Sableye he caught in Granite Cave).

===Rocky===
The fourth member of the traveling party is Rocky, Brendan's Mightyena.

Rocky was the Poochyena that terrorized Professor Birch at {{rt|101}}, and was later saved by Brendan at the top of [[Route 103]]. While recovering at a Pokémon Center, he was infected with two strains of the [[Pokérus]] thanks to [[Team Magma]] and [[Team Aqua]]. This gave him the ability to talk, above average strength, and the ability to use Random, a move that behaves like {{m|Metronome}}, except that it gets replaced for the remainder of the battle, or until it is switched out, much like {{m|Mimic}}.

Like [[Ash's Pikachu]], Rocky has an irrational fear of being inside a [[Poké Ball]] and would rather be covered in vomit than return to his Ball.

Rocky also hates {{p|Wingull}} because of [[Peeko]] barfing on him on the way back from {{to|Dewford}} and didn't like it when Brendan caught one while fishing on Mr. Briney's ship and because he had to battle it.

Rocky evolved into a Mightyena following a battle with [[Team Magma]] in [[Granite Cave]], where he single-handedly defeated the villainous team without his Trainer, though he imagined that Brendan was there.

When the group battled the [[Winstrate Family]], Vicki, the oldest member of the family, had bad eyesight and thought that Rocky was a trainer and battled him. Rocky battled using the same trick that he used in [[Granite Cave]]. Throughout the battle, the imaginary Brendan kept saying things that the real Brendan wouldn't normally say in battles, such as saying a different Pokémon's name, or even talking in a different language. Despite these mishaps, Rocky managed to win the battle.

===Recon Dye===
Recon claims he is the author in human form. He has super powers and commonly abuses people. He is usually the main character of special event strips and has many jobs, such as a truck driver. He is Wally's doctor and when he told Wally's mom that Wally had underdeveloped lungs, she started overreacting saying that Wally was going to die, no matter how many times Recon told here it wasn't fatal. When Wally grew sicker, Recon knew that it was because of his psychotic mother. This later led Recon to develop a plan to get Wally far away from Littleroot Town.

===Minor characters===
[[Professor Birch]], his assistants, [[Mr. Briney]], [[Steven Stone]] and Brendan's parents have all appeared in the comic, as have the first four [[Gym Leaders]]. [[Team Aqua]] and [[Team Magma]] take antagonistic roles. An original character, named Monty, was originally intended to be the Trainer of the third starter Pokémon. He has a somewhat stalker-esque relationship with May, which is why she gave Treecko to Wally instead and becomes Professor Birch's assistant.

Jim Gai is also a minor character, his name being an obvious sound-alike to the name he prefers to be called, Gym Guy, which in itself is an obvious reference to the [[Caretaker|unnamed character]] seen in every gym, whom gives out advice to the player.

==Humor==
Much of the humor in ''Pokémon X'' is derived from discrepancies or otherwise unexplained events in {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}}, and other Pokémon games. Whenever Brendan mentions Johto, or any of its native Pokémon that aren't in the [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number|Hoenn Pokédex]], May, Wally and most other characters seem confused and appear to have not have heard of it (emphasizing the incompatibility between [[Generation II|Generations II]] and {{gen|III}}). It also explains what happens to fainted Pokémon and who places the hidden [[item]]s on routes, both times at Brendan's expense. Brendan is also known to hold an item in the air while it glows (much to the dismay of anyone looking at him at the time) and a mysterious voice appears to tell what he obtained.

==Trivia==

Pokémon-X (webcomic)

2009-12-08T22:12:09Z

Qwart:

'''Pokémon-X''' is a sprite-based webcomic by '''Recon Dye'''. The comic is based on the storyline of {{game|Emerald|}}, and follows the adventures of {{ga|Brendan}}, {{ga|May}} and [[Wally]] around the island of [[Hoenn]].

The comic is usually updated three times a week on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. The first issue was published on June 2, 2003, and the most recent panel was published in November, 2009. However, the date the most recent comic was published does not match the actual date of publication. Recon Dye has stated that this is because he lists the date as the date he intended the comic to be published. School and other activities caused him to fall several months behind schedule, and he is attempting to catch up as much as possible.

Over this six-year period, more than 900 comics have been published. The comic is aimed at mature audiences due to its use of moderate language and mature situations. Recon Dye uses sprites from Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald to make character sprites and wild Pokémon battles and {{g|Mystery Dungeon}} sprites for Pokémon during trainer battles (though he started off using the regular sprites from Ruby and Sapphire, along with a few custom sprites).

==Plot==
The plot is largely the same as that of {{v2|Emerald}}: a new boy in town saves a [[Pokémon professor]] from a wild Pokémon and is given a Pokémon as a reward. He meets the professor's child and travels around the region battling [[Gym Leader]]s. A friendly rivalry is struck between the two. Along the way, a third child is met, and two rival, villainous teams battle for control of the region. The trio of Trainers travel to each location in the same order as in the games, and with the same intents and purposes (deliver letter for [[Steven Stone|Steven]], take Wally to {{to|Verdanturf}}, etc.). The most recent chapter of the comic has Brendan preparing to challenge [[Flannery]] in [[Lavaridge Town]].

There are, naturally, some key differences from the games. Each of the characters has a unique personality, such as Brendan seeming dull and dim-witted at many points. Brendan and May travel together, and Wally is part of the group for longer than he is in the games.

Jim Gai is also a minor character, his name being an obvious sound-alike to the name he prefers to be called, Gym Guy, which in itself is an obvious reference to the [[Caretaker|unnamed character]] seen in every gym, whom gives out advice to the player.

==Humor==
Much of the humor in ''Pokémon X'' is derived from discrepancies or otherwise unexplained events in {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}}, and other Pokémon games. Whenever Brendan mentions Johto, or any of its native Pokémon that aren't in the [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number|Hoenn Pokédex]], May, Wally and most other characters seem confused and appear to have not have heard of it (emphasizing the incompatibility between [[Generation II|Generations II]] and {{gen|III}}). It also explains what happens to fainted Pokémon and who places the hidden [[item]]s on routes, both times at Brendan's expense. Brendan is also known to hold an item in the air while it glows (much to the dismay of anyone looking at him at the time) and a mysterious voice appears to tell what he obtained.

==Trivia==
* Recon Dye's partner, '''Bam''', sometimes draws guest strips.

Pokémon Master Trainer (1999)

'''Pokémon Master Trainer''' is a board game produced in 1999 by [[Hasbro]] and {{wp|Milton Bradley}}. The object of the game is to travel the [[Kanto]] region, capture and battle Pokémon (in the form of cardboard chips), and reach the [[Indigo Plateau]] to battle one of the [[Elite Four]] members. All [[Generation I]] Pokémon (excluding {{p|Mew}}) are catchable in this game.

In the United States, the game was in English only. A fully bilingual (English and French) version of the game was released in Canada.

==Playing the game==
The player pieces are six colored models of [[Ash Ketchum]]. The colors available are pink, red, blue, green, yellow, and brown.

Each player receives one of the game's six [[starter Pokémon]] selected at random. A player rolls the dice to travel around the board, which is based on the [[Kanto]] region, capturing Pokémon along the way. Pokémon are split into 5 different categories; Starter Pokémon (pink star-like chips), weak unevolved Pokémon (pink circular chips), slightly stronger unevolved and evolved Pokémon (green circular chips), strong evolved Pokémon (blue circular chips), very strong fully evolved Pokémon (red circular chips) and [[legendary Pokémon]] (Yellow circular chips).

There are two types of cards present in this game; item cards, which incorporate ideas similar to items in the [[main series]] games such as [[Poké Ball]]s, [[Potion]]s and [[Vitamin]]s, and event cards, which allow players to catch legendary Pokémon, trade Pokémon between players and obtain Pokémon without actually having to catch them.

Once the player has made it around the board, they can go to the [[Indigo Plateau]] if they arrive at [[Cinnabar Island]] with 20 power points (indicated by yellow number on chip). If players own two or more Pokémon from the same evolutionary line, they may combine these power points. When a player reaches the Indigo Plateau, they may enter the "Final Battle", which is a battle against a member of the [[Kanto Elite Four]] or [[Gary Oak]] selected at random. If the player defeats this opponent, they win, but if they lose then they must go back to [[Pallet Town]] and start over.
