'''Pokémon HeartGold Version''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスターハートゴールド''' ''Pocket Monsters Heartgold'') and '''Pokémon SoulSilver Version''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスターソウルシルバー''' ''Pocket Monsters Soulsilver'') are paired [[Generation IV]] {{wp|video game remake|remake}}s of the [[Generation II]] games {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}.

Much like {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} revisited the [[Generation I]] story of [[Kanto]], HeartGold and SoulSilver retell the story of [[Johto]], with the player's starting area being [[New Bark Town]]. While the games feature several expansions in key areas, the overall plot follows the same direction as the original {{2v2|Gold|Silver}}. Some aspects exclusive to {{v2|Crystal}} are also included. Like FireRed and LeafGreen could link up with {{3v2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} to complete the Pokédex by trading regionally exclusive Pokémon, HeartGold and SoulSilver can link up with {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} to obtain Pokémon unavailable in Johto and Kanto, such as {{p|Turtwig}}.

{{ga|Kris}}, despite being the female counterpart of Crystal's player character {{ga|Gold}}, is not included as the female player character, with a {{ga|Kotone|new character}} instead taking her place. Whether she is chosen to be the [[player character]] or not, she will still appear in the game, taking a pseudo-[[rival]] role similar to the unselected characters of [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Ruby, Sapphire]], {{v2|Emerald}}, {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}.

The games were released on September 12, 2009 in Japan, and are scheduled to be released in spring of 2010 in North America and Europe. The Japanese release date is the same day that {{game|Yellow}} was released in 1998.

==Changes from Pokémon Gold and Silver==
===Aesthetic changes===
* {{ga|Gold}} receives a redesign while {{ga|Kotone|a new player character}} replaces {{ga|Kris}}.
* All the game's music is rearranged to better utilize the DS's sound capabilities. A key item allows the player to switch back and forth freely between the arranged soundtrack and original chiptune soundtrack.
* The [[PokéGear]] has been redesigned. There are a range of skins that can be used and changed at the player's will.
* Much like Kanto's was for its remakes, Johto's Pokédex has been redesigned. Unlike Kanto's remakes, which contained the same [[List of Pokémon by Kanto Pokédex number|regional Pokédex]] as the originals, [[List of Pokémon by New Pokédex number|the original regional Pokédex]] for Johto has been [[List of Pokémon by Johto Pokédex number|slightly altered]], including several [[Generation IV]] evolutions for Pokémon found in Johto.
* An image of certain locations, similar to that of {{v2|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, appears when entering the location. Some of these images change depending on the time of day while others change the image of the Pokémon obtainable at the location on the image at random.
* [[Team Rocket Grunt]]s are redesigned once again.
* [[Rocket Executive]]s are also redesigned from Generation II, with four new ones appearing: [[Apollo]], [[Athena]], [[Lambda]], and {{OBP|Lance|Team Rocket}}. Like [[Team Galactic]]'s [[Commander]]s followed a planetary naming scheme, the Rocket Executives are all named for real-world spacecraft.
* {{p|Ho-Oh}} and {{p|Lugia}} each have their own unique battle music, while the [[legendary beasts]] each use differently remixed versions of their battle theme from {{game|Crystal}}.
* [[Kurt]] and [[Apricorn]]s make a return to the series along with their respective [[Poké Ball]]s. Apricorns can now be carried by the player in their own [[bag]] with a new item, the [[Apricorn Case]].
* All former Berry trees have become [[Apricorn]] trees.
* [[Gym Leader]]s, [[Elite Four]] members, {{ga|Silver}}, and {{ga|Red}} have animated battle sprites and battle intros, as in {{v2|Platinum}}. Many [[Gym]]s have been redesigned as well, some with new puzzles.
* {{m|Rock Smash}}, previously a TM usable on the field in the originals, is now a full-fledged HM as it has been since Generation III. {{m|Defog}} loses its HM status to the returning {{m|Whirlpool}}.
* Ambient sound effects are used with greater frequency than in previous games; for example, running water and the player walking through grass will produce audible noises.
* The [[Magnet Train]]'s tracks can be seen overground in locations such as [[Route 32]].
* [[Pal Park]] is located where the closed [[Kanto Safari Zone]] once stood in [[Fuchsia City]].
* The [[Rage Candy Bar]] is now a [[key item]]. This is likely to prevent the player from trading it to {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, which does not have any item data for the Rage Candy Bar.

===Location changes===
* Elm's Lab has an upstairs level, where [[Professor Elm|the professor]] and his family live, his old house being occupied by Kotone/Hibiki and her/his family.
* Maps have been remade to match the design style used in {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}.
* The {{jo|Battle Tower}} west of [[Olivine City]], introduced in {{game|Crystal}}, returns, bringing with it the {{OBP|Battle Frontier|Generation IV}} introduced in Platinum.
* Two new routes, [[Route 47]] and [[Route 48]], are introduced near [[Cianwood City]]. They lead to a new [[Johto Safari Zone|Safari Zone]].
* [[Mt. Silver]] is much bigger and [[Viridian Forest]] is not cut down.
* [[Cerulean Cave]] and the [[Seafoam Islands]] remain as they were in Generation III (though [[Blaine]] still takes part of the Seafoam Islands), allowing the [[legendary Pokémon]] that live inside them to be battled. {{p|Moltres}}, formerly found in {{ka|Victory Road}} and [[Mt. Ember]], can be found in Mt. Silver.
* The [[Fighting Dojo]] in [[Saffron City]] takes a role similar to Sinnoh's [[Battleground]].

===Gameplay changes===
* All 493 Pokémon are capable of [[walking Pokémon|following players]] similar to [[Red's Pikachu (game)|Pikachu]] in {{v2|Yellow}}. [[Shiny Pokémon|Shininess]] is also retained. The player can interact with their Pokémon by pressing 'A', and can see how their Pokémon is feeling at the moment. In battle, like Yellow's Pikachu, they are sent out from the side of the screen, rather than from a Poké Ball, unless in certain situations, such as while riding the [[bicycle]] or going into a small space with a big Pokémon.
* Similarly to the event {{p|Shaymin}} and {{p|Regigigas}}'s effect on Platinum, the [[Pikachu-colored Pichu]] will unlock an event near the [[Ilex Forest]] [[Ilex Forest Shrine|Shrine]], where the [[Spiky-eared Pichu]] can be obtained.
* The [[Pokémon storage system]], [[bag]], [[party]] interface, and the screen that pops up when pressing the ''Start'' or ''X'' buttons in the previous games all use the Nintendo DS's touch screen.
* [[Legendary Pokémon]] from other regions can be caught in the games. {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} appear in SoulSilver and HeartGold, respectively, after the Elite Four, and {{p|Rayquaza}} can be caught in both games once the other members of [[weather trio|its trio]] are brought into the game. {{p|Latias}} (in HeartGold) or {{p|Latios}} (in SoulSilver) can be found roaming in [[Kanto]] later in the game.
* {{m|Headbutt}}ing trees to locate certain Pokémon makes its return. However, this time it can also be used to collect Pokémon from [[Hoenn]] and [[Sinnoh]] after the [[National Pokédex|National Dex]] is acquired.
* [[Cynthia]] makes an appearance in an event involving {{p|Arceus}}. This takes place in a new section of the [[Ruins of Alph]] named the [[Shinto Ruins]]. This event allows players to obtain either {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, or {{p|Giratina}} at level 1. The only way to obtain the Griseous Orb in this game is to choose Giratina during this event.
* The {{OBP|Gracidea|flower}} can be obtained in the flower shop in [[Goldenrod City]] by bringing any [[Nintendo event|event]] {{p|Shaymin}}.
* [[Eusine]], a major character from {{game|Crystal}} who was not in the original Gold and Silver, appears, as do other aspects originally featured in Crystal.
* A new sidequest, the [[Pokéthlon]], features ten mini-games that pit Pokémon in athletic competitions. Its system appears to be analogous to that of {{pkmn|Contests}} from previous games.
* Using the [[Apricorn Shaker]], Apricorns can now also be mixed into drinks that increase Pokémon's Pokéthlon stats.
* [[Berries]] can be grown portably using the [[Berry Planter]], where the [[Squirtbottle]] is controlled via the touch screen to water four Berries at a time. It is currently unknown where Berries can be obtained in the first place, but it appears that they do not grow on the trees where their Generation II counterparts were found, as those are used for growing Apricorns.
* The [[Running Shoes]] are obtained in [[Cherrygrove City]] and can be permanently selected using the touchscreen [[menu]]. The selected item (from pressing Y or SELECT in previous games) is also on the touchscreen. Two items can be selected as opposed to just one.
* The [[Radio Card]] for the Poké Gear is compulsory to continue in the game - Whitney will not appear in her Gym until the player has the Radio Card.
* [[Starter Pokémon]] from [[Kanto]] and [[Hoenn]] can be collected from [[Professor Oak]] and [[Steven Stone]] once certain conditions are met.
* [[Photography|Commemorative photos]] can now be taken around Johto and Kanto with the player's partner Pokémon, team, [[Gym Leader]]s, and certain notable citizens.
* An {{pkmn2|event}}-exclusive {{p|Celebi}} unlocks an encounter with former [[Team Rocket]] boss and Viridian Gym Leader [[Giovanni]]. Giovanni was mentioned repeatedly in the original Gold and Silver, but did not appear.

Like the [[GBA Wireless Adapter]] that came with FireRed and LeafGreen, a bonus is included with the purchase of HeartGold and SoulSilver: a [[Poké Ball]]-shaped {{wp|pedometer}} called the [[PokéWalker]] that has the capacity to link to the two games and hold a Pokémon. Storing a Pokémon in this manner increases its [[experience]] and [[happiness]] as the wearer walks. Other Pokémon can be captured in exclusive Pokéwalker-only areas and then transferred to the main game.

==Pokémon==
As in {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, the primary Pokémon of the remakes are native to the Johto and Kanto regions. Due to advances in gameplay since the second generation, the regional Pokédex used in Gold and Silver (the [[List of Pokémon by New Pokédex number|New Pokédex]]) has been updated to include those Pokémon which [[evolution|evolve]] upon learning a new [[move]]. Rather than simply excluding these evolutions (as {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} did with [[happiness]]-based evolutions), an improved [[List of Pokémon by Johto Pokédex number|Johto Dex]] was established with 256 Pokémon: five more than the New Pokédex.

Similarly to other recently released Pokémon games, Pokémon from outside the regional Pokédex can be captured after defeating the [[Elite Four]] and earning the [[List of Pokémon by National Pokédex number|National Dex]]. Pokémon native to Sinnoh and Hoenn can be found in various methods. [[Mass Outbreak|Swarms]] of Pokémon sometimes break out across the Johto and Kanto regions; oftentimes these are not native to either of the regions. Pokémon from other regions can be located by playing one of two special stations on the [[PokéGear]]'s radio function. There is a channel for Sinnoh Pokémon which plays only on Thursdays; the Hoenn channel only plays on Wednesdays. By having either of these programs turned on when in [[tall grass]] the chance of finding a foreign Pokémon increases. The [[Bug Catching Contest]] also hosts, from time to time, Hoenn and Sinnoh Pokémon. They will only appear on Thursdays and Saturdays. The [[Johto Safari Zone]]'s customization option also allows for the finding of Pokémon from other regions.

In an apparent attempt to remove reliance on [[Generation III]] cartridges, [[starter Pokémon]] of Kanto and Hoenn can be obtained late in the game from [[Professor Oak]] and [[Steven Stone]] respectively. Some [[legendary Pokémon]] which were not included in the [[Generation II]] games, such as {{p|Mewtwo}}, and the more recently released {{p|Latias}} and {{p|Latios}} can also be captured in HeartGold and SoulSilver, respectively.

As in all [[version|main series]] Pokémon game, there are a number of Pokémon which can be found in [[Version-exclusive Pokémon|one of the paired games, but not the other]]. A list of these Pokémon follows below.

==Trivia==
* These games mark the tenth anniversary since the release of the original {{2v|Gold|Silver}} for [[Game Boy Color]].
* As remakes, these games have been [[Pokémon Gold and Silver remake speculation|speculated]] since the release of {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}.
* The games' engine seems to be based on that of {{game|Platinum}}. The reverse happened in [[Generation III]], where {{game|Emerald}} was based on FireRed and LeafGreen's engine.
* As {{2v2|Gold|Silver}} were considered sequels to {{2v2|Red|Green}}, HeartGold and SoulSilver are thus sequels to {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}.
** Like FireRed and LeafGreen, as well, HeartGold and SoulSilver implement features introduced in their namesakes' third version (though the only major change from Red and Green to [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|Blue]] was the alteration of the [[catch rate]]s of several Pokémon, itself retained since Blue, whereas {{game|Crystal}} featured several notable differences).
* These games were released in Japan almost exactly one year after the Japanese release of {{game|Platinum}}, being released the day before the anniversary.
* The font used for the English titles of these games are different than the font that has been used since {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, while the Japanese logos are still in the same style used since those games. FireRed and LeafGreen also used a different font than the Hoenn games, however, it was still the same color.
** Additionally, the Ho-Oh crest shaped like a heart and Lugia soul are used in the English logos, while the fire and leaf that appear on FireRed and LeafGreen's Japanese logos were not used in the English release.
* These games mark the first time that the English versions were announced before the games themselves came out in Japan.
* Because of [[HM05]]'s conversion from {{m|Defog}} to {{m|Whirlpool}}, these games are the only games in which all available HMs teach damaging moves (both Defog and Flash, contained in HM05, prevented this in previous games).
* Unlike {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, most [[Trainer class]]es keep their DPPt sprites in battle.
* These are the first games in which major characters offer their Pokémon for a trade with the player, with [[Gym Leader]]s [[Brock]], [[Lt. Surge]], and [[Jasmine]] and [[Hoenn]]'s former champion [[Steven Stone]] offering Pokémon of their specialty type in exchange for another.
* Unlike how {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}'s intro was an updated version of the opening from {{2v2|Red|Green}}, HeartGold and SoulSilver have an entirely new intro, using none of the footage from the intro of {{2v2|Gold|Silver}}. The intro however, uses some music that was in the original and the title screen displays 3D renders of Ho-Oh and Lugia in movement similar to the original title screens.
* HeartGold and SoulSilver include the [[Champion|champions]] from each of the paired versions: [[Blue (game)|Blue]] from {{2v2|Red|Green}}, [[Lance]] from {{2v2|Gold|Silver}}, [[Steven Stone]] from {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}}, and [[Cynthia]] from {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}.
* The credits of HeartGold and SoulSilver are the first to feature [[Gym Leader]]s, [[Elite Four]] members and [[villainous teams|villainous team]] members.

Underground

2009-07-18T21:34:55Z

Smeargle: /* Trivia */

{{Featured}}
{{Infobox location

|type=cave
|location_name=The Underground
|japanese_name=ちかつうろ
|translated_name=Underground Passage
|location=Beneath [[Sinnoh]]
|region=Sinnoh

}}

'''The Underground''' (Japanese: '''ちかつうろ''' ''Underground Passage'') is an area in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} found beneath the entire [[Sinnoh]] region. [[Player character|Players]] can travel underground at any time using an [[Explorer Kit]], which they can receive in [[Eterna City]]. The Underground features multiple uses of the [[Nintendo DS|DS's]] touch-screen, as the main view is on the lower touch-sensitive screen while the upper screen shows a radar map of the entire underground. It also utilizes DS Wireless Communication to allow multiple players, each with their own DS and copy of the game, to interact.

The Underground has a different menu than the one in the overworld. Mostly, it shows the different [[item]]s used; with the exception of treasures, which can be transferred to the player's [[bag]], these are all exclusive to the area.

[[Sphere]]s are the currency of the underground. The player can bury their spheres to make them more valuable, either by leaving a sphere buried for a long time to make it grow, or by burying spheres of the same color in the same spot to merge them into a larger sphere. When spheres are buried in the same spot, their sizes are mixed together. When two or more spheres are buried on top of each other, the largest sphere is added to the smaller spheres' sizes divided by five, rounded down, plus one. Spheres can reach a maximum size of 99, with some growing faster than others. Blue, green, and red spheres grow the fastest, and are thus the least valuable. Pale spheres are the second fastest growing spheres, and are semi-valuable. Prism spheres are the slowest growing spheres, and are thereby the most valuable of all the sphere types. Burying spheres can increase the number and density of mining sparkles in the same vicinity.

==Features==
===Exploring===
[[Image:SinnohUnderground.PNG|frame|right|{{ga|Lucas}} digs for treasure while {{ga|Dawn}} sets up traps in the Underground.]]
As in the regular world, using the D-pad lets the player walk in any direction and holding "B" allows running. As the regular bag is not able to be used in the Underground, the [[Bike]] is not available to increase speed further. Steps taken in the Underground do not count towards hatching [[eggs]], but time spent counts towards the overall game timer. The game cannot be paused (by closing the DS lid or otherwise) while in the Underground. Additionally, since the wireless features consume more power than usual operation, the player should be careful not to drain the battery completely while in the Underground.

There are six independent sections of the labyrinth, each accessible from different places in Sinnoh. In terms of vendors and mining treasures, the areas are equivalent. When participating in multiplayer action in the Underground, players should make sure they are all in the same set of caverns.

The vast majority of the tunnels are 5 squares wide, with some single-square-width passageways between parallel tunnels. The player can see roughly 12x15 squares on the screen at any given time (not accounting for side effects of the top-down perspective). By touching any area of the lower touch screen, a radar pulse indicates interactive objects within a 4-5 square radius, indicated by yellow sparkles. There appears to be a maximum of 8-10 sparkles that will display if a particular ping returns too many objects.

If a sparkle revealed by a ping is located on the floor of the tunnel, it is either a [[trap]] or a sphere. A difference in whether a sphere or trap is hidden in the sparkle is in the fact that a trap has a white sparkle while a sphere has a golden one. If both are hidden in one spot, a trap is found first, then a sphere. If the sparkle is in the wall, it is a [[#Mining|bulging section]] that can be mined.

===Mining===
One of the main attractions of the Underground is the mining minigame. To mine, the player must find a spot where the wall 'pings' by touching the screen and looking for sparkles. These spots will appear randomly in the Underground, usually in clusters, and can be located by looking for sparkles marked on the radar screen. They appear more frequently near buried spheres, and so one way players can ensure they always have a lot of mining spots available to them is to make a "sphere garden" by burying many spheres in the same area.

The game itself is similar to {{wp|Battleship (game)|Battleship}} or {{wp|Minesweeper (computer game)|Minesweeper}}. At the start, the cave wall is shown, represented by a grid full of squares. There are three depths of wall: the tan soil, which can be broken through in one hit, the darker soil, which needs two hits to be broken through, and the large rocks, which each need three hits to be broken through. The player digs into the wall with a pick, which chips away small areas of rock, and a hammer, which breaks a larger area of the rock. Each spot will hide one to four [[item]]s, including [[sphere]]s, [[fossil]]s, [[Revive]]s, [[Heart Scale]]s, [[shard]]s, [[evolutionary stone]]s, [[plate]]s, and a few [[held item]]s. Dark stone pieces are also in the wall, which cannot be dug out and prevent further mining upon discovery (that is, when they are uncovered on a direct hit, no other spaces are revealed until the next hit). Each hit will bring the wall closer to collapsing; if the wall collapses before everything is dug up, the game ends and the player is rewarded with what they dug up before the wall collapsed.

In addition, if anyone else is mining nearby, a pickaxe will appear on the player's screen wherever the other player hits on their screen. This helps clear the wall without contributing to the wall's collapse.

At first, only [[Skull and Armor Fossils|Skull or Armor Fossils]] can be found depending on the game version. After obtaining the [[National Dex]], however, the game will also yield [[Helix and Dome Fossils|Helix Fossils, Dome Fossils]], [[Old Amber]]s, [[Claw and Root Fossils|Root Fossils, and Claw Fossils]].

====Burying spheres====
Burying spheres is done through the Underground's [[menu]] function. It will not work, however, when the player faces a wall: spheres can only be buried in the ground. The longer the spheres remain buried, the larger they will grow. In the player's presence, their buried sphere will occasionally let off a bright glint. Buried spheres are only accessible to the player that put them there; others cannot see them, ping them, or interact with them in any way. Others can, however, take advantage of the increased mining spots generated. This can be beneficial for the player who buried the spheres and a friend (or friends), as there will be plenty of opportunities to mine side-by-side.

====Item shapes====
Items have unique shapes in the mining minigame. Larger items cover a greater area and can thus be found more easily, but take more digging to unearth.

===Secret Bases===
The Underground is also where [[secret base]]s are created in the [[Generation IV]] games. The spheres dug up in the mining minigame can be traded to explorers found throughout the caves for objects to furnish secret bases. Secret bases can be created in any part of the wall using a [[Digger Drill]]. These bases can be decorated with ten items each.

If a player visits a secret base of another player, they can get that player's flag. After successfully returning the other player's flag to one's own base, the player's record is updated. The number of flags captured (either from the same "opponent" or several ones) upgrades the player's secret base computer. Each upgrade changes the graphic slightly (the icons resemble the evolution of personal computer technology) and also allows the player to remove additional boulders from their base using the "Store" option of the "Decorate" menu. This allows more room for decorations to be placed.

|}{{-}}

A player who has a flag cannot do anything besides store the flag in their PC. If they try, the game will alert them that they have to drop their flag first. If the owner of the flag talks to someone who has stolen it, the flag is automatically returned to their base, while if another player talks to someone who has stolen a flag, that person steals the flag from the other person, and then they can try and get the flag to their base.

===Traps===
Another feature of the underground are [[trap]]s. These can also be purchased from explorers with spheres or found in the path in the same manner that the player can find mining spots: by touching the screen and watching for sparkles on the ground. They may also be dug up, like the Spheres, by pressing the A button when next to one, facing it. Players may only carry a total of 40 traps at one time; an attempt to unearth a 41st trap will be refused and the trap left where is is. If a player steps on a trap, they may be sent flying in a specific direction, have their controls altered so they walk the wrong way, or they may have to use the stylus or microphone to clear a hazard, such as by popping bubbles or clearing smoke, or a message will be broadcast to all players in the Underground. The game will explain how to escape from a trap, however if the trap was placed by an opponent, he or she will be alerted that someone has landed in it. If one player is caught in a trap, another can face them and press A to immediately get them out of it. Since all players run at the same speed, well placed traps are the primary means of catching up to someone who has stolen a player's flag.

===Vendors===
A crucial feature of the underground are vendors. These explorers appear to be stationary and only rotate in place. There are three types of vendors in the underground. The first group of vendors are those who accept your treasures and give you spheres in return. The second group of vendors are those who accept your spheres and give you goods in return, and vice versa. The last group of vendors are those who accept your spheres and give you traps in return, and vice versa. Vendors change their prices on items and which items they sell every day, so one vendor may not have the same item for two days in a row. Vendors allow the player to decorate their secret base and plant traps anywhere in the underground. In the map of the underground at the top of the page, the yellow dots are the trap vendors, the red dots are the treasure vendors, and the blue dots are the goods vendors.

==Multiplayer==
When entering the Underground, the DS Wireless Communication is activated. Other players within range choosing to enter the Underground will be able to interact in the same set of tunnels. As described above, players can enter one another's Secret Bases and set traps. Additionally, digging in the walls next to each other allows players to collaborate on the excavation.

Players can talk to each other just like NPCs in the above world. In doing so, they can exchange Goods used to decorate a Secret Base, and they can communicate using a basic question and answer selection menu. Each time a player talks to another player, the counter on their card is incremented. This counter reaching 32 is one of the prerequisites for encountering {{p|Spiritomb}}.

==Trivia==
*The background music in the Underground sounds similar to the music played in [[Route 111]] in [[Hoenn]].
*Air vents that serve to provide the Underground with a supply of air can be found all over the surface of Sinnoh.
*Walking into a wall will not cause the 'bump' audio to play.
*The two upper and lower halves of the Underground are actually the same, only one is flipped horizontally.
*The player's PC is only updated when the door is shut; if it is open then the PC reverts to the very first look.

'''Sudowoodo''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ウソッキー''' ''Usokkie'') is a {{type2|Rock}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s from {{p|Bonsly}} when [[level]]ed up while knowing {{m|Mimic}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Sudowoodo has a brown, log-shaped body with some yellow spots on it. It has short legs with toe-less feet. Sudowoodo has club (♣) shaped hands that remain green year-round. Sudowoodo has a forked "branch" on top of its head.
====Gender differences====
A female has shorter "branches" on the top of its head.

====Special abilities====
Sudowoodo is most known for {{M|Mimic}}king its opponents' attacks. Sudowoodo is protected from receiving recoil damage when using attacks like {{m|Wood Hammer}} and {{m|Double-Edge}}. As a Rock-type Pokémon, Sudowoodo is capable of a wide variety of {{t|Rock}} and {{t|Ground}} attacks such as {{m|Stone Edge}} and {{m|Earthquake}}. It can also learn {{type2|Fighting}} attacks, such as {{m|Hammer Arm}} and {{m|Brick Break}}. Sudowoodo can also learn {{m|Calm Mind}}, which is strange due to the fact that {{m|Hidden Power}}, {{m|Mud-Slap}}, and {{m|Snore}} (the latter two only from [[move tutor]]s in {{v2|Emerald}}) are the only [[Special move]]s that Sudowoodo can use (and very poorly on that note). Even stranger is the fact that Sudowoodo lacks the ability to use {{m|Hyper Beam}} and {{m|Giga Impact}}, despite being a fully evolved Pokémon.

====Behavior====
Sudowoodo pretends to be a plant, but it is afraid of water, and its composition is closer to a rock than to a plant.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Forest.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Forest Pokémon|Forest Pokémon]]]]
Sudowoodo can be found living in forests, but finding one can sometimes be a little tricky as Sudowoodo have the aforementioned habit of pretending to be a tree in order to blend in with their surroundings.

However, during winters, Sudowoodo's camouflage fails. It's forearms remain green, even in winter, thus it is easy to tell it from true trees. This may cause massive migrations of Sudowoodo to more southern areas, where the winter may not affect its camouflage.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:Takeshitousokkie.jpg|right|thumb|210px|[[Brock]] and his Sudowoodo]]
Sudowoodo first appeared in ''[[EP162|Type Casting]]''. Two Pokémon researchers were arguing whether Sudowoodo was a {{t|Grass}}- or {{type2|Rock}}.

A Sudowoodo was pretending to be part of a tree in ''[[PK11|Camp Pikachu]]''.

A [[alternate coloration|Golden]] Sudowoodo appeared in ''[[AG173|All That Glitters is Not Golden]]''. A boy named [[Keenan]] experimented on his Sudowoodo to make it strong against {{t|Water}} and it turned golden. The Sudowoodo was upset with the change, and hated Keenan for what he did to it. Keenan managed to turn his Sudowoodo back to normal at the end of the episode.

Brock's Bonsly evolved into {{TP|Brock|Sudowoodo}} in ''[[DP014|Leave It To Brocko]]''.

===Pokédex entries===
{{Animedexheader|Sinnoh}}
{{Animedexbody|DP014|Sudowoodo|Dawn's Pokédex|Sudowoodo, the Imitation Pokémon. Disguised as a tree, it's the evolved form of {{p|Bonsly}}.}}
{{Animedexfooter/Pokémon|''Diamond & Pearl''|Sinnoh}}

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Special manga===
In {{PSV|9}}, a Sudowoodo disguises itself as a tree in the middle of {{rt|37}}, hiding from a {{p|Rhydon}}. {{Special|Gold}} convinced Sudowoodo not to run away from its problems, and Sudowoodo went on to defeat Rhydon in hand-to-hand combat. It soon after joined Gold's team.

A Sudowoodo is captured by {{Special|Emerald}} at the {{ho|Battle Frontier}}. It appears to be a female Sudowoodo, due to its motherly nature.

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

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
Sudowoodo is a Poké Float. After {{p|Wooper}} first appears, it will move down the right of the screen while Sudowoodo is on the left. Unlike most of the Poké Floats, players are not required to ever go on Sudowoodo. A trophy of Sudowoodo can be obtained after playing on the Poké Floats stage.

====Trophy information====
An imitation [[Pokémon]] with an aversion to battle, Sudowoodo always poses as a tree in order to avoid being attacked. Despite their arboreal appearance, these Pokémon are actually Rock-types, and therefore highly vulnerable to water. When it begins to rain, they vanish. A Sudowoodo can be found blocking {{rt|36}} in [[Johto]].

* Sudowoodo is the only Pokémon to date with a [[catch rate]] of 65.
* Sudowoodo is the first pure {{type2|Rock}} Pokémon in the National Dex order.
* Sudowoodo is the only non-Grass Pokémon to learn {{m|Wood Hammer}} by leveling up.
**Sudowoodo is also the only Pokémon that can resist the recoil damage from this move.
* In [[Generation II]], only one Sudowoodo appears (from being sprayed with water from a [[List of key items in Generation II#Squirtbottle|Squirtbottle]].) Similarly, in [[Generation III]], only one Sudowoodo appears--this time as the result of a spray from the [[List of key items in Generation III#Wailmer Pail|Wailmer Pail]]. However, in [[Generation IV]] the [[Player character|player]] can get multiple Sudowoodo by evolving {{p|Bonsly}} or by catching it in grass.
*In {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, Sudowoodo, along with {{p|Skuntank}}, {{p|Togekiss}}, {{p|Fearow}} and {{p|Yanma}}, weighs as much as the {{ga|Lucas|male protagonist}} of the game.

===Origin===
It may be based on {{wp|petrified wood}}, plants which have become fossilized over time.

====Name origin====
Sudowoodo's name may be a portmanteau of ''pseudo'', false, and ''wood''. Its Japanese name could be a misspelling of 嘘つき ''usotsuki'', fibber. It could also be a combination of 嘘 ''uso'', false, and 木 ''ki'', wood or tree.

==In other languages==

'''Pidgeotto''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ピジョン''' ''Pigeon'') is a dual-type {{2t|Normal|Flying}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Pidgey}} starting at [[level]] 18, and evolves into {{p|Pidgeot}} starting at level 36.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Pidgeotto is a large raptor-like bird. While its primary color is brown, its plumage is much more elaborate than its pre-evolution, {{p|Pidgey}}. Its head-crest is much longer than Pidgey's and is a reddish color. The plumage of its tail is also quite colorful, alternating between red and yellow. Other than its ornamental plumage, its basic coloration is similar to Pidgey, with pinkish-gray feet and black markings around its eyes. Pidgeotto has powerful talons to grasp prey so these claws can inflict a lot of damage.

====Gender differences====
None.

====Special abilities====
As well as being a powerful flier, it is capable of carrying prey several miles to its nest. Pidgeotto have an amazing sense of sight and hearing. Its eyesight is so good that it can spot a {{p|Caterpie}} from several miles up in the air. Pidgeotto usually have two to three {{p|Pidgey|chicks}}, but usually only one survives. They have a tendency to only feed the same chick so that one of them survives.

===Behavior===
After evolution, Pidgeotto assumes a predatory niche. It claims a sprawling territory (more than 60 miles) and will fiercely defend it from intruders. One must be careful when moving through the territory of a Pidgeotto; while there is no evidence that they would attack a human, their keen eyesight and sharp claws could cause a lot of damage. Although its nest is usually in the center of its territory, it circles its territory throughout the day, looking out for prey and intruders.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Forest.gif|left|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Forest Pokémon|Forest Pokémon]]]]
Pidgeotto typically dwell in forests with thick growth and large trees. They need a lot of space, and are very territorial, so it can be assumed that their territories usually do not overlap.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Pidgeotto, although omnivorous like most Pokémon, appears to prefer preying on other Pokémon such as {{p|Exeggcute}}. Both the anime and [[Pokémon Special]] have shown it attempting to eat a main character's {{p|Caterpie}}.

==In the anime==
[[Image:Ash_and_Pigeotto.jpg|thumb|210px|Ash with his Pidgeotto]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Ash's Pidgeot|Ash's Pidgeotto]]====
In the anime, Ash caught a {{AP|Pidgeotto}} in ''[[EP003|Ash Catches a Pokémon]]''. Since then, it played a role as one of Ash's main Pokémon. It participated in the [[Gym]] battles against [[Team Rocket]], [[Brock]] and [[Misty]], was frequently used for breaking Team Rocket's {{p|Meowth}}-shaped balloon. However, it was the only one of Ash's Pokémon at the time, save some of his numerous {{AP|Tauros}}, not to participate in the [[Indigo League Conference]]. It eventually evolved into {{p|Pidgeot}} and left Ash's party to guard other {{p|Pidgey}} and Pidgeotto.

====Other====
[[Vladimir]] owns a Pidgeotto which knows {{M|Aerial Ace}}. He uses it to demonstrate to other trainers, like Ash and his {{AP|Swellow}}, how to use the {{type2|Flying}} attack.

===Minor appearances===
A Pidgeotto appeared in ''[[DP071|Pokémon Ranger and the Kidnapped Riolu! Part One]]''.

===Pokédex Entries===
{{Animedexheader|Kanto}}
{{Animedexbody|EP003|Pidgeotto|Ash's Pokédex|Pidgeotto, an evolved form of {{p|Pidgey}}. It is armed with sharp claws and dives from the sky to capture its prey. Unlike the more gentle Pidgey, Pidgeotto can be more dangerous. Approach with extreme caution.}}
{{Animedexfooter/Pokémon|Original|Kanto}}

==In the manga==
In [[Pokémon Special]], [[Falkner]] owns a Pidgeotto.

In [[Electric Tale of Pikachu]], Ash gave his Pidgeotto the name of "Walter" and it appeared several times.

==Trivia==
* Despite the description in the {{game|Red and Blue|s}} [[Pokédex]], Pidgeotto does not learn {{m|Peck}}.
* Pidgeotto's {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}} Sugimori artwork looks similar to its {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}} sprites.

===Origin===
Despite its name, its design appears to be less of a pigeon and more of an {{wp|osprey}} or other {{wp|bird of prey}}.
====Name origin====
Its name is a corruption of ''{{wp|dove|pigeon}}'', a common bird; its Japanese name clearly refers to said species of bird. Its name could also possibly refer to {{wp|Otto Lilienthal}}, a pioneer of unpowered heavier-than-air flight.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Tauboga - An extension of ''Taube'' (pigeon).
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Roucoups - From ''roucoule'' (coo) and ''coups'' (strikes).

'''Lapras''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ラプラス''' ''Laplace'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Ice}} Pokémon.

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

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Lapras is a large sea creature which resembles a {{wp|plesiosaur}}. It has four flippers, however its front ones are notably longer than its hind flippers. It has a long neck, and large black eyes. It has unusual curled ears and a short horn in the middle of its forehead. Its body is largely blue, while its underside is a light cream color. Its most distinguishing feature is the heavy shell on its back, which is largely dotted with blunt knobs.

====Gender differences====
None

====Special abilities====
Lapras can sing Pokémon and people to sleep and can carry Pokémon and people on their backs. Some Lapras are able to develop {{t|Psychic}} abilities such as telepathy, like the one belonging to [[Santa Claus]] or [[Satoshi (Zensho)|Satoshi's]] in [[Pokémon Zensho]]. Lapras has the rare ability (among fellow {{type2|Water}} Pokémon) to wield {{t|Electric}}al attacks.

===Behavior===
Lapras are a social Pokémon, and swim through the sea in large pods. They keep track of their fellow pod members through use of high-pitched songs they constantly sing, much like whales. Unfortunately they are very docile and do not like to fight, and this has made them an easy target for hunters. They are currently very rare in the wild. Their songs have become very sorrowful in recent times as it has become harder and harder for these peaceful Pokémon to find others of their kind. They are highly intelligent, and have been said to be able to learn human speech.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Sea.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Sea Pokémon|Sea Pokémon]]]]
Lapras are native to the cold waters of glacial regions, but they migrate to tropical areas such as the [[Orange Archipelago]] to raise their young. They are extremely rare due to hunting, and are nearly extinct.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:Lapras of Luxury.jpg|right|thumb|210px|{{AP|Lapras}} in the anime]]
Lapras first appeared in ''[[Holiday Hi-Jynx]]''. This one helped {{Ash}} and co. reunite a {{p|Jynx}} with Santa Claus.

In ''[[EP084|The Lost Lapras]]'', Ash and co. saved a baby {{AP|Lapras}} from a trio of thugs, and then again from [[Team Rocket]]. Ash captured this Lapras and mostly used it as transportation between the islands of the [[Orange Archipelago]]. It was returned to its family in ''[[EP113|Viva Las Lapras]]''. Ash's Lapras made a return appearance in ''[[EP257|Lapras of Luxury]]''.

[[Pryce]] of Mahogany Town owns multiple Lapras in ''[[EP238|Nice Pryce Baby]]''.

In ''[[H015|Putting the Air Back in Aerodactyl]]'', multiple Lapras appear when {{an|Crystal}} whistles.

[[Solidad]] also owns a Lapras.

In ''[[DP091|One Team, Two Team, Red Team, Blue Team]]'', [[Angie]] used a Lapras in the second leg of the Pokémon Triathlon.

===Pokédex entries===
{{Animedexheader|Kanto}}
{{Animedexbody|Holiday Hi-Jynx|Lapras|Ash's Pokédex|Lapras. This intellectual advanced Pokémon is able to understand human speech. With its mild temperament, Lapras prefers to carry humans on its back, rather than engage in [[Pokémon Battle|Pokémon battles]].}}
{{Animedexfooter/Pokémon|Original|Kanto}}

==In the manga==
The most notable role of Lapras in [[Pokémon Special]] was being one of the Pokémon of [[Pryce]]. In his youth, Pryce lost two of his favorite Lapras in an avalanche, just as the {{pkmn|egg}} borne by them hatched. Unable to get over his loss, Pryce swore to save his Lapras and thus began researching into time travel, setting the events of the [[Johto]] saga in motion. Eventually, Pryce was able to capture {{p|Celebi}} and enter time, only to lose Celebi as the [[Poké Ball]] containing it was shattered, causing him to be unable to override time any further. However, the baby Lapras, Hewger, was able to enter the time in which Pryce's Lapras were separated, and the family enjoyed a happy reunion while Pryce was eventually lost in time.

In [[Electric Tale of Pikachu|The Electric Tale of Pikachu]], Ash saves a Lapras from a swarm of {{p|Krabby}} tormenting it. Like in the {{pkmn|anime}}, Ash used this Lapras as a mode of transportation through the [[Orange Archipelago|Orange Islands]] saga. It is not known in this version if he releases it.

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

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2]]: Lapras is the Pokémon that ferries people to the [[Hidden Land]]. When {{OBP|Wigglytuff|Mystery Dungeon 2 character}} explored the [[Brine Cave]] and found the strange marking on the wall there, Lapras asked Wigglytuff not to investigate it further to keep the Hidden Land a secret. When the player and partner had to get to the Hidden Land to save the world, Lapras responded to their presence by the marking and took them there.

==Trivia==
*Lapras was originally going to be called "Ness," derived from the {{wp|Loch Ness monster}}, but it was changed before {{game|Red and Blue|s}} were released.
*It was once speculated that {{p|Shellos}} was to be a [[baby Pokémon|pre-evolution]] of Lapras. This was eventually proven to be {{p|Gastrodon|false}}.
*Lapras can learn three of the four [[One-hit knockout move|one-hit-knockout moves]]. The only one it cannot learn is {{m|Guillotine}}.
*Lapras is one of the few [[Generation I]] Pokémon that have no evolutionary relatives, along with {{p|Farfetch'd}}, {{p|Kangaskhan}}, {{p|Pinsir}}, {{p|Tauros}}, {{p|Aerodactyl}}, and {{p|Ditto}}.
*Excluding all Legendary Pokémon, Lapras has the highest base stat total of a non-evolved Pokémon (with a grand total of 535 stat points). However, Lapras used to come second, as {{p|Snorlax}} used to hold this honor - having 5 more stat points than Lapras - until [[Generation IV|Gen IV]], when {{p|Munchlax}} was introduced.
===Origin===
This [[Pokémon]] is based on the fabled {{wp|Loch Ness Monster}} in Scotland. The creature and this Pokémon are said to resemble the marine reptile known as the {{wp|plesiosaurus}}. However, Lapras does not have the plesiosaurus's long neck, whereas the body is very similar to the creature that is said to be in Loch Ness. Lapras's intelligence, singing and rarity can be comparable with some {{wp|cetacean}}s.
====Name origin====
Lapras's name seems to be a corruption of its Japanese name, Laplace. The name may be a reference to {{wp|Pierre-Simon Laplace}}, a mathematician who wrote several books on the mathematical properties of the sea and tides, or also from the French word {{tt|''la place''|seat}}, referring to how passengers sit on its back like a seat to be ferried across bodies of water. Its name might also be derived from {{wp|Lapis}}, a bright blue gem.

Smeargle: National Dex?

== National Dex? ==

Is the National Dex needed to open up the door to Rotom's room? -[[User:Smeargle|Smeargle]] 15:32, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

Faraway place

2009-07-02T18:08:03Z

Smeargle:

'''Faraway place''' is a placeholder found in the [[Generation IV]] games. This location can appear when interacting with or getting Pokémon from third versions, (like {{v2|Platinum}}, which have several new locations not found in the first games), or from games not from the main series (such as [[Pokémon Colosseum]]: specifically the location of [[Orre]]). Instead of the new place's (or region's from [[Generation III]]) name appearing, ''Faraway Place'' appears.

These new places in Platinum include the [[Distortion World]] ({{p|Giratina}}), [[Cynthia]] ({{p|Togepi}} egg) and the room in the [[Galactic Eterna Building]] accessed using the [[Secret Key]], where Rotom can switch between its forms, ''Rotom's Room''.

'''Dialga''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ディアルガ''' ''Dialga'') is a dual-type {{2t|Steel|Dragon}} [[legendary Pokémon]].

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

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

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Dialga is dinosaur-like, similar to {{p|Palkia}}, though it seems to be based off of a sauropod. It is mainly dark blue with some gray metallic portions, such as its chestplate, which has a diamond in the center. It also has various light blue spots. It has a somewhat wing-like structure on its back, and a crest on its head, resembling a type of dinosaur. Dialga also has long claws and a short tail.
====Gender differences====

Dialga is a genderless species.

====Special abilities====
Dialga has the ability to warp time by either speeding it up, slowing it down, or stopping it altogether.

Similar to most other {{type2|Dragon}}s, Dialga is capable of wielding various elemental attacks (except for {{t|Water}} attacks). Dialga can also utilize several {{t|Ground}}-, {{t|Rock}}- and {{Type2|Steel}} moves. It is one of the few Pokémon that can use {{m|Aura Sphere}}.

Dialga's powers can be amplified by the [[Type-enhancing item#Adamant Orb|Adamant Orb]].

Dialga is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that learns {{m|Roar of Time}} (apart from an event {{p|Darkrai}}, event {{p|Arceus}}, and {{p|Smeargle}}).

===Behavior===
Being that Dialga, like Palkia, primarily resides in a different dimension, its behavior is nearly impossible to study. However, it has been observed in violent conflicts with {{p|Palkia}}.

===Habitat===
Dialga lives in another dimension, and can only be summoned to the main Pokémon universe by using the [[Red Chain]].

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:Dialga 2.PNG|right|thumb|230px|{{an|Dialga}} in the anime]]
{{an|Dialga}} appears in the [[The Rise of Darkrai|tenth movie]] of the [[Pokémon anime]] along with {{an|Palkia}}. It fights with {{an|Palkia}} and {{an|Darkrai}}, nearly destroying [[Alamos Town]].

Dialga made another appearence in the [[Giratina and the Sky Warrior|eleventh movie]]. On its return trip back to its own dimension, Dialga ended up in the [[Reverse World]] and got attacked by {{an|Giratina}}, who has been angered by the fight between Dialga and Palkia which damaged its world.

Dialga appears once again in [[Arceus: To a Conquering Spacetime|the twelfth movie]], this time co-starring with both other members of [[legendary titans|its trio]].

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

Another statue also appeared in ''[[DP110|Steeling Peace of Mind!]]'' and ''[[DP111|Saving the World From Ruins!]]''.

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

==In the manga==
In [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!|Pokémon DP Adventure!]], [[Hareta]] and [[Mitsumi]] set out on a journey with the intention of finding the god-like Pokémon, Dialga. Oddly, Palkia does not receive a mention.

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

==Other appearances==

===Super Smash Bros. Brawl===
[[Image:SSBBSpearPillarDialga.png|right|thumb|Dialga on {{St|Spear Pillar}}]]
Dialga appears as a stage Pokémon in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]], along with {{p|Palkia}}, {{p|Cresselia}}, and the [[Lake trio]] on the stage {{St|Spear Pillar}}. It affects the stage much differently than that of its counterpart, such as slowing down time, and even going off of its post to attack the players in the middle. It can also distort the stage, like Palkia, but only slightly and not as extreme, as well as shoot beams from various locations.

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
{{spoilers}}
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2]]: Dialga appears in the main storyline, but mostly as [[Primal Dialga]] (Japanese: やみのディアルガ ''Dark Dialga''). In the future, because of the collapse of the [[Temporal Tower]], Dialga has lost control of itself and has entered a state of self-preservation, keeping time frozen and refusing to let it flow properly. When the player and partner return from the future and arrive at the Tower, soon to collapse, they have to battle Dialga, having almost turned Primal, to put some sense into it and restore the Tower. After this, Dialga is so grateful that it revives the player (who was erased from existence).
* [[Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia]]: Dialga appears as a bonus boss during one of the Ranger Net extra missions. Dialga was injured from a battle with Palkia and entered [[Almia Castle]] to recover. It caused a time distortion due to its wounds and sent the main character and {{Ra|Wendy}} back in time to before the events of the game started by using {{m|Roar of Time}}.

==Trivia==
* Dialga and Palkia's US names were officially revealed on January 20, 2007.
* Dialga has eleven resistances and one immunity, making it one of the most resistant Pokémon, second only to {{p|Magnemite}} and its two evolutions, although the aforementioned has more weaknesses as well. It is also tied in resistances and immunity with {{p|Mawile}}, {{p|Registeel}} and {{p|Empoleon}}.
* Dialga is the second Pokémon to have the ability to manipulate time, the first being {{p|Celebi}}.
* Dialga is the tallest [[Generation IV]] Pokémon.
* No other Pokémon shares the same [[type]] [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|combination]] as Dialga.
* Dialga is the only {{type2|Dragon}} Pokémon that doesn't take super-effective damage when hit by Dragon-type moves, due to the {{type2|Steel}}'s resistance to them.
* Despite being genderless in the main series games, Dialga is referred to as a male in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2]].
* In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2]], Dialga, along with {{p|Palkia}} and {{p|Regigigas}}, all speak in capital letters, unlike the other Pokémon in the game.
* Dialga, along with Palkia and {{p|Phione}}, has the second highest [[catch rate]] out of all the legendary Pokémon, with a catch rate of 30, only topped by {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Celebi}}, and {{p|Shaymin}} with catch rates of 45.
* The spikes on the Dialga's back, at a certain point of view, look similar to a [[Time Gears|time gear]]. In the anime, when Dialga uses {{m|Roar of Time}}, the spine extends and the five spikes become thinner and more pronounced.
* Dialga is the second Pokémon in the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]] series to feature an [[alternate coloration]] that is [[Primal Dialga|not its shiny coloration]], the first being {{p|Kecleon}}.
* Dialga and {{p|Palkia}} are the first legendary Pokémon to be seen at a level that is not divisible by 5, appearing at Level 47.
* Since the same Dialga has been confirmed to be in the [[Arceus: To a Conquering Spacetime|twelfth movie]], Dialga is the first legendary Pokémon to have three major roles in the movies.
* Dialga is the third heaviest Pokémon in the National Pokédex.
* Dialga has the highest {{Stat|Special Attack}} of all {{type|Steel}} Pokémon.

===Origin===
Dialga is based after a {{wp|dinosaur}} with a {{wp|diamond}}. The dinosaur it is possibly based on is the largest dinosaur, known as {{wp|Amphicoelias}}. It was the longest, tallest, and biggest dinosaur in the world, hence the size of Dialga.

====Name origin====
The ''Dia'' in its name is derived from the word ''diamond'', even though the Japanese word for diamond is ダイヤモンド ''daiyamondo''. The "''ga''" part in its name may be a corruption of "''gon''", referring to its origin and type. Its name could also be a reference to a {{wp|Sundial|sun dial}}, which is used to tell the time, or a dial found on a clock. However, the Greek root "''dia''" can be translated to the word ''through'', and one can refer to Dialga as going "through" time.

Talk:Mime Jr. (Pokémon)

2009-07-01T20:01:03Z

Smeargle: /* Mimic? */ new section

== WakeUp Slap - Unconfirmed and likely to be fake ==

This new attack "WakeUp Slap" was reported on Blue SkY Blog, right. It first reported the names of new starters (it was real information). But it recently became infamous of posting FAKE informations. One of them first leader's name, Zack. He was revealed to be named Hyouta few days. And second is three fake Pokémon Names (Marsula, Garinan, Samusamu). There is no sign about these Pokémon and one of the infamous Fake Pokémon was named "Samu" (only two final characters of the name can be seen). So, the most recent informations on this blog are likely to be fake. And they're still unconfirmed. So, they should be removed from Bulbapedia until official announce of the attacks (It will prove if it's real or fake). The Blue SkY Blog is no longer a reliable source! - Maxim (Sorry for bad grammar, I am not native english speaker)

== Deletion ==

Should we delete this talk page? It was only used for an unanswered question posted by the early days of Maxim on the 'pedia, back in 2006. [[User:Pokemon lover|Pokemon lover]] 12:17, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
:It seems to have been relevant back then. It's not hurting anyone or anything by existing. — [[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|THE TROM]] — 12:22, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

Wouldn't it be possible to breed Mimic onto a Mime Jr, then level it up once to get a level two Mr. Mime? -[[User:Smeargle|Smeargle]] 20:01, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

Smeargle: Grammar touchups

{{samename|[[Magma Admin]] from [[Pokémon Special]], known under a non-canonical name of Hank|Mack}}

[[Image:Hank.jpg|thumb|200px|Hank]]
'''Hank''' (Japanese: '''ヒヨシ''' ''Hiyoshi'') is a [[character of the day]] who appeared in ''[[AG183|Aipom and Circumstance]]''. He is voiced by ''[[Kiyotaka Furushima]]'' in Japanese and [[Rich McNanna]] in English.

Hank along with many other villagers were competing in a contest to see who the next king would be; whoever had the crown in their hands by sunset would be the king for a year. However, because of interference by [[Dawn's Ambipom|Ash's Aipom]], Hank decided to help {{Ash}} in order to find Aipom and the crown that she had stolen.

Hank often has great ideas such as using his {{p|Nosepass}} to navigate through the mountains, he has a problem with speaking his mind at times. Later, when they find Aipom with the crown now stuck on her head, Hank comes up with another idea of feeding Aipom a sour {{b|Belue}} in order to get the crown off. By sunset, he was the one with the crown in his hands and was named King for a Year. Ash said that he should have no problem being king because he always came up with great plans.

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s from {{p|Corphish}} starting at [[level]] 30.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Crawdaunt are large crustacean Pokémon. They have three pairs of limbs in total: two claws, one pair of legs that resembles Corphish's and a back pair that looks almost elephantine. They possess two blue stripes on their chin that are sometimes mistaken for a pair of lips. On the top of their head is a yellow star-shaped object, the purpose of which is currently not known. It may just be there for show.
====Gender differences====
None.

Crawdaunt is a very powerful, if violent Pokémon. Its strong pincers allow it to use moves such as {{m|ViceGrip}} and even {{m|Guillotine}}. Its tough outer armor also provide it with a sturdy armor, which can be seen with its ability {{a|Shell Armor}}.

===Behavior===
Crawdaunt are extremely aggressive Pokémon that will bully others enough to drive them away from their homes, exhibiting behavior similar to {{p|Whiscash}}.

==Trivia==
*Crawdaunt's original name was Lobstar, referring to the star on its head and the word ''lobster''.
*To date, Crawdaunt is the only Pokémon with a [[catch rate]] of 155.
*In [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl]], some of the Crawdaunt caught in Celestic Town may be underleveled - Corphish does not evolve until level 30, but it is possible to catch a level 20 Crawdaunt in Celestic Town.
===Origin===
Crawdaunt's name suggests it is based on a {{wp|red swamp crayfish}}. However, its size and dark type would suggest it based on a larger, more powerful type of creature, a {{wp|lobster}}.
====Name origin====
Crawdaunt's name is a pun on ''crawdad'', an alternate name for a crayfish. It is also in combination with ''daunt'', to cause to lose courage. Its Japanese name is based on シザー ''shizā'', scissors, and ザリガニ ''zarigani'', crayfish.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Krebutack - From ''Krabben'' ({{wp|crab}}) and ''attack.''

'''Dawn's Mamoswine''' (Japanese: '''ヒカリのマンムー''' ''Hikari's Mammoo'') was the fifth [[Pokémon]] {{pkmn2|captured}} by {{an|Dawn}} in the {{pkmn|anime}}, and her sixth Pokémon in all. Its voice actor in both Japanese and English is ''[[Unshō Ishizuka]]''. In Japanese, it was voiced by ''[[Inuko Inuyama]]'' as a {{p|Swinub}} and {{p|Piloswine}}. In English, it was voiced by [[Kayzie Rogers]] as a Swinub.

==History==
[[Image:DP084.png|As a {{p|Swinub}}|thumb|left]]
Mamoswine's debut was in ''[[DP084|Hungry for the Good Life!]]'' as a Swinub. It appeared at [[Mr. Backlot]]'s mansion from a nearby forest. It caused trouble by devouring all of Dawn's [[Poffin]]s, much to the displeasure of Dawn's other {{DL|Dawn (anime)|Pokémon}}. This revealed its gluttonous [[nature]]. However, after helping take down [[Team Rocket]] and rescue the other Pokémon, Dawn decided she wanted Swinub to go with her.

In ''[[DP095|Battling the Generation Gap!]]'', Swinub watched its first {{pkmn|Contest}} when it saw Dawn, {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}} and {{TP|Dawn|Ambipom}} work together to win the [[Celestic Town]] {{pkmn|Contest}}.

While still a Swinub, it was not used very much due to its relative lack of battling experience. It had a very cheerful personality and would often jump up and down in excitement.
Swinub evolved into Piloswine in ''[[DP104|Sleepless in Pre-Battle!]]'' in a {{pkmn|battle}} against Team Rocket. After evolving, though Piloswine was still very affectionate towards Dawn, its personality drastically changed, as seen in ''[[DP105|Get Your Rotom Running!]]'' where it tackled her to the ground out of affection.

In ''[[DP106|A Breed Stampede!]]'', just two episodes after evolving, Piloswine started to disobey Dawn. Knowing numerous powerful attacks, Piloswine felt much stronger and more confident than it did as a Swinub. It then attacked {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} for touching its fur presumptuously. It started to develop an indifference towards Dawn and rushed towards her only after she threw its favorite food, [[Poffin]]s, around, forcing it to run around to eat the Poffins. It even tried to attack Dawn with {{m|Ice Shard}}. It used Ice Shard and froze half the body of {{AP|Grotle}}, who tried to stop it from rampaging. Immediately after that, it rushed all the way towards Dawn and the others, nearly crushing everyone, only to be stopped by [[Brock]]'s muscular {{TP|Brock|Happiny}}. Dawn agreed to have a battle with her Piloswine and [[Ash's Grotle]]. However, it ignored Dawn's commands and used {{m|AncientPower}} instead.

It later evolved again into {{p|Mamoswine}} after being attacked by Team Rocket. Unfortunately, it has kept its bad behavior from when it was a Piloswine, and even charged at the gang in a rage, only to be stopped by Brock, who told Dawn to return it to its [[Poké Ball]]. Despite this, Dawn is still eager to train Mamoswine well.
[[Image:Piloswine.png|As a {{p|Piloswine}}|thumb|left]]
In battle, {{P|Mamoswine}} has shown to be incredibly powerful thanks to its large and powerful physique. It was shown to take {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}}'s {{m|BubbleBeam}}, {{m|Whirlpool}} ''and'' {{m|Peck}} in quick succession with no resistance at all as well as knocking it out for the third time in ''[[DP106|A Breed Stampede!]]''.

In ''[[DP109|Leading a Stray!]]'', Dawn tried to call for its help removing a broken manhole cover, but it turned its back to Dawn and refused. Dawn then bribed it with [[Poffin]]s in order to follow. Although it did help, it then happily threw Dawn and Piplup into the air, eating the Poffins while it was left to {{TP|Brock|Happiny}} to catch them.

In ''[[DP114|Another One Gabites the Dust!]]'', Mamoswine wasn't really excited to watch Dawn in the contest. Instead, it just slept with a pompom on its head. Later on, during Dawn's battle with [[Urara]], Mamoswine seemed to watch with interest, seeing Dawn and {{TP|Dawn|Pachirisu}} use Pachirisu's {{m|Super Fang|new move}} to the fullest.
{{left clear}}

In [[DP119]], Mamoswine was injured during a battle against a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Aggron}}. Dawn and her Pokémon used the first aid skills taught to her by Brock in ''[[DP094|Doc Brock!]]'' to help Mamoswine recover, and later attempted to protect Mamoswine against Team Rocket. As a result, Mamoswine started obeying Dawn and under her instructions, it was able to defeat Aggron.

In [[DP123]], it showed interest in Contests again.

==Trivia==
* {{P|Mamoswine}}, alongside [[Ash's Gliscor]], are the only Pokémon in the parties of {{Ash}} and {{ashfr|his friends}} to be absent from the original [[List of Pokémon by Sinnoh Dex number|Sinnoh Dex]] (though [[Jessie]] of [[Team Rocket]] has {{TP|Jessie|Yanmega}}, {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}}, and {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}}, and [[Paul]] owns {{TP|Paul|Electabuzz}}, {{TP|Paul|Ursaring}}, and {{TP|Paul|Gliscor}}).
* Mamoswine, as a Piloswine, was effected by Pachirisu's {{m|Discharge}} attack; being part {{t|Ground}}, it should never have had any effect on it.
* Mamoswine, as a Swinub, is the first capture Dawn has made since {{TP|Dawn|Buizel}}, exactly [[DP034|50 episodes before]]. It is also her only capture in which she didn't {{pkmn|battle}} the Pokémon twice, or even at all.
* Mamoswine, as a Swinub, is the fifth, and most recent, Pokémon introduced in [[Generation II]] that is in the party of a member of the main cast during the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}.
* Mamoswine, as a Swinub, is also the second Pokémon that Dawn owns that was introduced in a generation other than the one she was introduced in, the first being Aipom. Like Aipom, Piloswine has a Generation IV evolved form.
* Mamoswine is the fourth Pokémon in the [[Pokémon anime]] to evolve by knowing a certain move, following Brock's {{TP|Brock|Sudowoodo}}, Dawn's {{TP|Dawn|Ambipom}} and Jessie's {{TP|Jessie|Yanmega}}, and is the second Pokémon of Dawn's to evolve by this method.
** Mamoswine is also the second Pokémon to evolve by learning the move {{m|AncientPower}}, the first being Jessie's Yanmega, which also evolved rather quickly after being captured.
* Mamoswine, as a Swinub, has some similarities with [[May's Munchlax]]: Mamoswine loves to eat mass quantities of [[Poffin]]; likewise, May's Munchlax enjoys mass quantities of [[Pokéblock]] (the [[Generation III]] counterpart of the Poffin).
* Mamoswine is also similar to [[Ash's Charizard]] in many aspects.
** Both were caught in their base forms without having to be fought.
** Both are the fifth Pokémon captured by their {{pkmn|Trainer}}s (Mamoswine is the sixth Dawn actually obtained, but {{TP|Dawn|Ambipom}} was obtained in a trade, and not truly captured).
** Both of them disobeyed their Trainers when they evolved, but were both quite loyal to their Trainers in their base forms. They also have three evolutionary stages, and started to disobey at their second.
** Both evolved to their final forms within a short span of episodes and retained their disobedience.
** Both were the second Pokémon on their respective teams to evolve to their final forms (the first being {{AP|Butterfree}} for Ash and {{TP|Dawn|Ambipom}} for Dawn).
** Both resolved their disobedience issues after getting injured in a battle and then being nursed back to health by their Trainers. They then battle and win against the same Pokémon that injured them.
* So far, Mamoswine is Dawn's only {{cat|dual-type Pokémon}}.
* Mamoswine is Dawn's second evolved Pokémon, the first being {{TP|Dawn|Ambipom}}. Both are final forms of a [[Generation II]] evolution family. Coincidentally, both need to know a specific move to evolve.
* ''[[DP104|Sleepless in Pre-Battle]]'', the episode in which {{p|Swinub}} evolves into {{p|Piloswine}}, first aired in Japan in the same week that ''[[DP084|Hungry For the Good Life!]]'', the episode in which Swinub is captured, first aired in the United States. The same thing happened to [[Ash's Gliscor]].
* Mamoswine is the first Pokémon in the current saga to appear evolved in an opening prior to its actual evolution being shown. Furthermore, it was as a {{p|Mamoswine}}.
** It was changed back to a Piloswine in the opening of ''[[DP106|A Breed Stampede!]]'', despite it evolving in that episode. The inclusion as a Mamoswine in the opening of ''[[DP104|Sleepless in Pre-Battle]]'' was an error.
* Like many other main characters' Pokémon, Mamoswine was obtained after the Pokémon's species' debut in a [[Giratina and the Sky Warrior|movie]].
* Mamoswine is Dawn's only Pokémon that has not yet been used in a {{pkmn|Contest}}.
* Both of Mamoswine's evolutions happened during a battle with [[Team Rocket]].

'''Disable''' (Japanese: '''かなしばり''' ''Temporary Binding'') is a non-damaging {{type2|Normal}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation I]].

==Effect==
===Generation I===
Disable randomly selects one move that is in the target's current move set and whose current PP is greater than 0, and gives it a randomly chosen disable duration length of 1-8, which is reduced by 1 each time the Pokémon attempts to execute an attack. While the move is disabled, a message of "disabled!" will appear in place of the disabled move's PP, and the target will be unable to use the move until the round after Disable wears off (attempting to select the move will just result in a notice that the move is disabled).

If the target does manage to select the move (such as if it knows the move twice because of {{m|Mimic}}, or if the user is faster than the target and disables the attack that the target was going to use during that round) and attempts to execute it before the disable duration is over, it will only result in a wasted turn and a message that the move is disabled. Since the check to see if a move is disabled happens after the duration reduction, it is possible to disable the move the target was about to use for only 1 turn and as a result have Disable end immediately, still allowing the target to use said move during that round. It is also possible for the target to still use the disabled move if it is called via {{m|Metronome}} or {{m|Mirror Move}}.

If the target has only one move and that move is successfully disabled, it will use {{m|Struggle}} until it can select its move again. Disable will fail if the target has no PP for any of its moves.

Turns spent flinching, fast asleep, frozen solid, recharging, or partially trapped will not count towards the Disable duration length.

Even if unsuccessful (for any reason), using Disable against a Pokémon using {{m|Rage}} will cause its rage to build.

In Stadium, Disable will cause a Pokémon's rage to build only if successful. The disabled move's PP is not replaced with a "disabled!" message, though attempting to select the move will still result in a notice that the move is disabled.

===Generation II and on===
In Generation II and beyond, the last move that the target used will be disabled if successful. It will fail if the user goes first in the first turn.

In {{g|Mystery Dungeon}}, this attack paralyzes targets instead of its regular effect.

===Pokémon===
'''{{p|Psyduck}}'''. Psyduck releases blue rings that make its opponents unable to move.
* Used by [[Misty's Psyduck]] from ''[[EP032|The Ninja Poké-Showdown!]]'' to present. '''Debut'''
'''{{p|Golduck}}'''. Golduck's eyes turn blue and a blue aura appears around it. Any attacks that try to hit Golduck are instantly disintergrated.
* Used by a [[wild]] {{p|Golduck}} in ''[[EP091|Bye Bye Psyduck]]''.
'''{{p|Slowbro}}'''. Slowbro is surrounded by a blue aura, making the opponent completely motionless and renders it under Slowbro's control.
* Used by [[Lorelei|Prima]]'s {{p|Slowbro}} in ''[[EP099|The Mandarin Island Miss-match!]]''

'''Buizel''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ブイゼル''' ''Buoysel'') is a {{type2|Water}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Floatzel}} starting at [[level]] 26.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Buizel possesses mainly mammalian characteristics with orange fur and paws as well as resembling a realistic cross between a weasel and a sea otter. The collar that is around its neck can be inflated and used as a flotation device when the Pokémon inhales. Buizel also carries characteristics of sea creatures, in that it has two blue fins on its arms and two tails, appearing to be split up, that resembles a fish's fin. Its tail acts as a boat propeller by spinning. There are parallel marks on their cheeks quite similar to those of Furret.
====Gender differences====
From back view, the males have two white spots and the females only have one.

====Special abilities====
Buizel can apparently both fly and propel itself through water by spinning their tails like propellers. Buizel can also use its tail for firing {{m|SonicBoom}} and {{m|Razor Wind}} attacks. It is one of the 12 Pokémon that can learn {{m|Aqua Jet}}.

===Behavior===
In ''[[Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]'', Buizel acted a bit like a dog. It came up and licked Max and messed with the {{p|Manaphy}} Egg as if it was a toy.

===Habitat===
Buizel is most likely found near swift-moving rivers.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

It could be suggested that Buizel is a carnivore that preys on fish, but it is unknown for certain. However, it does have an affinity with the [[Wacan Berry]], as it is occasionally found with this berry.

==In the anime==
[[Image:Buizel-anime.jpg|thumb|210px|Buizel in the anime]]
In Buizel's debut, it is one of the Pokémon owned by a family traveling circus performers during the movie, ''[[Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]''. It wasn't seen performing with them; however, it was treated more like a pet.

Buizel makes an appearance in ''[[PK15|Pikachu's Island Adventure]]'' as one of the Pokémon who helps to save a playground that {{MTR}} took over.

A Buizel was seen used in a contest in ''[[DP011|Mounting a Coordinator Assault]]''.

{{an|Dawn}} caught a male {{AP|Buizel}} in ''[[DP034|Buizel Your Way Out of This]]''. In ''[[DP055|Throwing the Track Switch]]'', she traded him for {{TP|Dawn|Ash's Aipom|Ambipom}} because Buizel was more interested in [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}}s than {{pkmn|Contest}}s.

==Trivia==
[[Image:Buizelflying.jpg|thumb|right|Buizel in ''[[DP011|Mounting a Coordinator Assault]]'']]
* Buizel was one of three Pokémon revealed in March 2006 in promotions for ''[[Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]'', along with {{p|Mantyke}} and {{p|Chatot}}.
* Every Buizel that has been shown in the anime so far is a male.
* Despite the fact it and its [[evolution]] {{p|Floatzel}} are {{type2|Water}} and have two tails, neither can learn {{m|Aqua Tail}}, even through breeding. In {{v2|Platinum}}, Floatzel can learn it by [[move tutor]].
* Even though Buizel can learn {{m|Fury Cutter}} through breeding, it cannot learn it through the move tutor in Platinum.
[[Image:Tailsflying.jpg|thumb|right|{{wp|Miles "Tails" Prower|Tails}} from {{wp|Sonic the Hedgehog}}]]
===Origin===
Buizel seems to be based on an {{wp|otter}}. The fact that Buizel spins its forked-tail like a propeller is not unlike that of {{wp|Miles "Tails" Prower|Tails}} of the {{wp|Sonic the Hedgehog series}}, and this was, in fact, highlighted in ''[[DP011|Mounting a Coordinator Assault]]''.

====Name origin====
''Buizel'' is a corruption of its Japanese name, Buoysel, which is believed to be a combination of ''{{wp|buoy}}'' and ''weasel''.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Bamelin - From ''Hermelin'' (ermine)
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Mustébouée - Combination of ''{{wp|Mustelidae}}'', the {{wp|Family (biology)|family}} that otters and weasels come from and ''bouée'' (bouy).
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 브이젤 ''Beuijel''

'''Unbeatable''' is the opening theme to the eighth season of the English-language Pokémon dub, [[Pokémon: Advanced Battle]]. It was used from [[AG093]] to [[AG145]] as well as in the movie [[Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]. It was written and produced by [[John Siegler]] and [[David Rolfe]].

The opening animation featured footage from the eighth and ninth Japanese openings, ''[[Pokémon Symphonic Medley]]'' and ''[[Battle Frontier (song)|Battle Frontier]]''. The inclusion of animation from ''Battle Frontier'' revealed three new Pokémon, {{p|Mime Jr.}}, {{p|Weavile}}, neither of whom had official English names yet at the time, and {{p|Lucario}}, to North American, United Kingdom, and Australian audiences. However, all three were later removed.

* The capture of {{TP|Misty|Azurill}}.
* The capture of {{TP|May|Munchlax}}.
* The capture of {{TP|May|Squirtle}}.

==Lyrics==
<ab>''Ooooooh,
I'm unbeatable!

Walking down this [[Route|endless highway]],
With nothing but [[Ash's friends|my friends]] beside me,
We'll never give in, we'll never {{m|rest}},
[[Pokémon: Advanced Battle|Advanced Battle]] is the ultimate test!

From the [[Pokémon world|earth]], {{p|Groudon|the land}}, {{p|Kyogre|the sea}} and {{p|Rayquaza|sky}},
They can never win but they sure can try!

Ooooooh,
I'm unbeatable!
Pokémon! Advanced Battle!

Ooooooh,
I'm undefeatable!

From {{p|Deoxys|the stars}} and {{cat|Fossil Pokémon|the ancient past}},
They come to play but they'll never last!

Ooooooh,
I'm unbeatable!
Pokémon! Advanced Battle!

Ooooooh,
I'm undefeatable!
''</ab>

<ab>''You think you'll win but soon you'll see,
You may beat some but you can't beat me!

I'm undefeatable

There's a feeling deep inside me
And it's always there to guide me
[[HeartGold and SoulSilver|It's in my heart and in my soul]]
Leading me to [[Pokémon Master|the ultimate goal]]

You can try your best this might be fun
You go down to defeat before you begun

Ooooooh
I'm unbeatable
Pokémon! Advanced Battle!

Ooooooh
I'm undefeatable

Every [[move]], each attack you choose,
You think you can win but you'll always lose!

Ooooooooooooh,
Advanced Battle
I'm unbeatable!</ab>

==Trivia==
*The appearance of {{p|Deoxys}} in this opening flying with the [[legendary birds]] is reminiscent of the [[Pokémon Theme|first dub theme]], where {{p|Mewtwo}} was flying with the legendary birds. In a way this is almost fitting, as this would be the last dub theme produced by 4Kids.
*This opening has the most Pokémon species in it, with 72.
*As of 2009, this opening also has the most complete [[legendary trio]]s in it, as the only ones missing are the [[Generation IV]] [[lake trio|lake]] and [[dragon trio]]s.
**This opening also has almost every Legendary Pokémon excluding Generation IV legendaries. It feature 20 out of the full 21 legendaries, Lugia was not included.
*Oddly, James's Mime Jr. appears. Mime Jr. was captured [[Pokémon: Battle Frontier|the following season.]]
*The closing credits feature a shot of Zapdos and Moltres flying past Ash, which is not present in the opening credits.
*This is the only dub opening not to feature episode clips.

'''Surf''' (Japanese: '''なみのり''' ''Surfing'') is a damage-dealing {{type2|Water}} move introduced in [[Generation I]]. It is [[HM03]] in all generations.

==Effect==
===In battle===
====Generations I and {{gen|II}}====
Surf inflicts damage and has no secondary effect.

====[[Generation III]]====
Same as the previous generations, but in a [[double battle]], Surf will hit both opposing Pokémon. Its base [[Power]] is doubled if it is targeted at a Pokémon using {{m|Dive}}.

====[[Generation IV]]====
Same as the previous generation; however, in a double battle, Surf will hit all other Pokémon battling, including the partner.

===Outside of battle===
[[Image:Surf_TM_Lucas.jpg|none|thumb|240px|'''Surf''' in the Generation III games]]
Surf can be used outside of battle to travel over bodies of water. When doing so, [[wild Pokémon]] may be encountered. Surfing is a very important mechanic of the games. Surf is needed in most games to progress through it, sometimes to reach other islands and cities.

In {{game|Platinum}}, Surf's speed is increased from previous games.

==Trivia==
* Oddly, even though all aquatic {{t|Water}} Pokémon can swim, in the games they must be taught Surf in order to do so.
* Surf is one of the few moves which no Pokémon can learn by leveling up, largely because it's an [[Hidden Machine|HM]] move.
* Surf and {{m|Fly}} are the only HM moves that are special moves, that are known by an [[event]] Pokémon.
** Both of these moves are learned by event Pikachu.

==In other languages==

'''Vespiquen''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ビークイン''' ''Beequeen'') is a dual-type {{2t|Bug|Flying}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s from Female {{p|Combee}} starting at [[level]] 21.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Vespiquen is a three-foot-tall bee Pokémon with a yellow and black striped abdomen that resembles a skirt. Her abdomen can serve as a nest for baby {{P|Combee}}. She has black, skinny arms with two orange claws and flies with a pair of small (compared to her body) wings on her shoulders. She has an orange face with red eyes, a red gem on her forehead and yellow and black "horns".

====Gender differences====
Vespiquen is female only.

====Special abilities====
Vespiquen has three separate [[signature moves]] that involve summoning a swarm of baby {{p|Combee}}, which she stores in her honeycomb-like lower abdomen. One is for {{m|Attack Order|attacking}}, the second is for {{m|Defend Order|defending}} and the third is for {{m|Heal Order|recovering}}.

===Behavior===
Vespiquen are queens of hives of Combee, controling it and protecting it, as well as giving birth to young Combee. A Vespiquen is far more powerful than her followers. However, if someone defends her hive and helps her, she may reward them.

===Habitat===
Vespiquen live in huge hives in the forests with thier Combee followers.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:Aaron's Vespiquen.jpg|thumb|Vespiquen in the anime]]
Vespiquen made its first appearance in ''[[DP032|An Angry Combeenation]]'' as the ruler of a huge colony of {{p|Combee}}.

Vespiquen appeared again in ''[[DP099|A Trainer and Child Reunion!]]'' under {{EF|Aaron}}'s ownership.

==Trivia==
* Vespiquen is the only non-{{type2|Poison}} Pokémon that can learn {{m|Toxic}} by leveling up.
* Vespiquen's three [[signature move]]s, along with {{p|Hitmonlee}}{{tt|*|Only in Generation I}}, the {{p|Porygon}} family, and the {{p|Cubone}} family{{tt|*|Prior to Generation IV}} comprise the most out of all Pokémon.
* Vespiquen is the only {{type2|Bug}} Pokémon that has {{a|Pressure}} as its ability.
* Vespiquen is the slowest {{type2|Flying}} Pokémon that can not evolve beyond its present state.
===Origin===
Vespiquen is based on {{wp|queen bee}}s and {{wp|beehive}}s, along with a combination of real {{wp|Queen regnant|queens}}.
====Name origin====
Its name is derived from the words ''vespa'', both a genus name and Latin for wasp, and ''queen''. The name Beequeen is derived from the word ''bee'' and ''queen'', referring to the fact that only female bees can become the leader of a colony of bees.

Talk:List of shippings

GAH! The formatting was screwed up when the list was updated...anyone able to help out? --[[User:Archaic|Archaic]] 04:58, 27 December 2005 (CST)

*Agreed. No need to retain the current title now. Now that there's actually a real place for it with 'pedia, it needs to become more encyclopedic. --[[User:Archaic|Archaic]] 17:59, 6 Aug 2005 (CDT)
*I would advocate giving shippers a wiki of there own, the pokemon or at least anime variety in particular.[[User:サイコウ天使|「サイコウ天使」(saikou tenshi)]] 5:03AM, 7 Nov 2005 (PDT)

==Nay (0)==

=Old=
Awwww bugger. Anyone know how to fix the formatting for this page? It doesn't seem to like me at all. Perhaps it's the page length? Over 43kb. --[[User:Archaic|Archaic]] 02:35, 26 Dec 2004 (GMT)

:Holy crap O_o. I never remember there being this many shipping groups. Is there anything that hasn't been shipped. I think I'm still on the webpage for Chaos Rocket's Pallet Shipping group. And Archaic, try line breaks? --[[User:Tenchi-Oak|Tenchi-Oak]] 09:49, 25 Dec 2004 (EST)

::That's all I had. Zhen's fixed it up for me though, so no more problems. Added a quick navigation to the start. Figured that with the list so long thesedays, it'd help to skip to at least the letters of the alphabet. ^^; --[[User:Archaic|Archaic]] 03:19, 26 Dec 2004 (GMT)

==Suggestions==

In the forum thread for the list, Muka-chan suggested that people add submissions here. So I'll start with one I thought up: FenceShipping, Ash & Misty + Ash & Gary. That is, someone who believes in both PokéShipping and PalletShipping. I used to be one of those poor misguided souls... ^_^ - Ketsuban

Another suggestion from the Ket... SnapShipping should be Ash & Todd. How can it not have a name yet? *is surprised* And of course the Japanese would call it SatoTo'o or To'oSato... Also, RanmaShipping: Todd & Jesse! Because Kappei Yamaguchi is male Ranma, and Megumi Hayashibara is female Ranma! Hahahahahahaha. And shoot, I added these while logged in as Blackjack. *cries* --[[User:Ketsuban|Ketsuban, NOT BLACKJACK]]

Another couple: CloneBitchShipping (Jessibelle and Misty), and CloneBrocketShipping (Jessibelle and Brock). Both of them were blushing when Jessibelle was talking about whipping James... ~Ket again

More suggestions from Ket because she has some ships that need names:

*IllusoryShipping: Brock and Lokoko
*SubmarineShipping: Hokage and Ruby
*KyogreShipping: Wattson and Flannery

Ket, FenceShipping isn't an original name. You're just reinventing one of the names I coined for them back in the old days. =p Half-breed was the term that got general acceptance BTW.
Also....GAH! Some of the names that have been edited and replaced shouldn't have been changed to their dub ones. Those Ships were meant to be specifically for the Japanese version, and not for the dubs.--[[User:Archaic|Archaic]] 10:40, 17 Mar 2005 (UTC)

o_O Why the heck would a ship be specifically for the Japanese version? Can the characters not be involved with each other if they are speaking English? -ket

Cases where people feel that the hints weren't carried over to the dub, or where the feeling of the relationship has changed significantly. --[[User:Archaic|Archaic]] 21:59, 17 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Who cares if the hints weren't carried over? Most of the shippers ''I'' know don't care about hints. And just which pairings are you talking about, anyway? -ketz

'nother suggestion: TrickShipping as Tabitha & Shizuku. [[User:Ketsuban|Ketsuban]] 20:47, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

お久しぶりだね、兄弟。The ancient one is right, Half-breeds is indeed the correct term. I'd like to advocate a complete shipper history and, just for the sake of situations such as these, a shipper dictionary of terms. How about it? Marc is already aware of what we'd like to do. And for the love, open the list up to the general public. Are you so afraid of repraisals? I mean, you're going to heavily moderate that one anyway, right, Liam? [[User:サイコウ天使|「サイコウ天使」(Most High Heaven Messenger)]] 5:13AM, 7 Nov 2005 (PDT)

Since when does "Psycho Tenshi" mean "Most High Heaven Messenger"? =p So who are you exactly anyway?
A Shippers glossary would certainly be a helpful addition to 'pedia. You want to write it, go ahead.
And as for opening up the list....no. There's far too many frivolous names on there anyway. The list was never meant to be a name for everything people came up with off the top of their head, only a name for every ship that people had actually actively used in fanfics/fanart/fandom discussions/etc --[[User:Archaic|Archaic]] 07:32, 7 November 2005 (CST)

Since I became a Cleric. >:P There are no kanji in FFXI names（ローマ字だけ）, so I prefer to katakanaize all player character names i mention from it, including my own. This is my own convention because of circumstances. My JP friends usually prefer ro-maji, but this isn't always useful. Especially when we correspond in english, I'll usually katakanaize a person's name being discussed or add a non-romanized honorific suffix so that my friend doesn't get confused. i considered going with 最高 here, but the double entendre was my initial reason for taking this alias in the first place (and a vain hope to avoid overt vanity). If you know who I am, then you'd know that allegory is of my favorites. Ironic, that. sai = most kou = high ten = heaven shi = messenger. If you want to get literal, Supreme Angel. In angelology, this would be Seraphim or Archangels. Michael and Gabriel are said to be part of this order, but then again so is The Deciever of the Entire World. To quote Raogrimm, we have the potential to be either that greater good or greater evil.

Forgive me for babbling. I don't know if I will take up these tasks. The matters of the true world are more pressing at this time. I have a role to play which supercedes games and forums, and is in fact a matter of life and death. If you want to go off topic, I believe you know my email.

And for the sake of my sentimental heart... ReunionShipper, please!

:Because the (In)Complete List of Shippers is less an article made specifically for Bulbagarden, and more an article hosted by Bulbagarden. Treat it like you'd treat a game walkthrough that the creator would allow to be posted as long as it wasn't edited.
The real reason it was protected though however was so that the Shippers Community could have more control over what names are accepted as being the "official" ship names, preventing edit-wars.--[[User:Archaic|Archaic]] 09:32, 1 Mar 2005 (UTC)

>* SahaShipper - A flaming, militant supporter of Advanceshipping
Why is that listed under Ships Involving Real People? They're not paired with anyone...

While I would assume that person meant it as a ship between a person and their own ship, you're right, it should be under the main list as an alternate name, like GakiShipping.--[[User:Archaic|Archaic]] 10:40, 17 Mar 2005 (UTC)

:I don't know who added that Ship, or several others like it, but I know they weren't there when I last did a full update, which means it's one of you guys who's put it in. Unless there's a *very* good historical reason to include ships like this (And in which case, it should have the historical context mentioned in a note on the list itself), it should never have been approved for addition to the list in the first place. This is disgraceful. --[[User:Archaic|Archaic]] 23:27, 28 Mar 2005 (UTC)

>Should there even be ships listed in there that don't involve Pokemon characters at all? I mean, I know some of it's kitchy fandom, but where do you draw the line? Should the site cover ships that are only vaugely related to Pokemon through tenuous links via real people and unrelated other people and objects? I propose that if we DO keep the ships that have nothing to do with Pokemon and characters besides links to people who are fans of Pokemon - that they at least be regulated to a page on their own. I just don't think someone who goes "OMG! Damian and Mozz need to do eachother!" or "Rachil Lils would totally go for the Japanese voice actor of Kasumi!" deserves their own sections of the Bulbapedia, since it's not really related to Pokemon except in aroundabout way.

- Zeta

I don't think that any ships that don't involve Pokémon characters should be listed on the site. It's completely unprofessional and has nothing to do with the franchise. I mean, ships involving members of the fandom are bad enough, but why are completely unrelated pairings, like Inuyasha/Jakotsu, listed? That needs to be on an Inuyasha site, ''not'' a Pokémon encyclopedia. If you ''must'' have ships involving members of the fandom, at least put them on a separate page in the People category so that people looking for actual character ships aren't forced to dig through that other garbage. Sorry for my harsh words, but I am honestly getting fed up with the amount of non-Pokémon/unimportant fandom content going into this encyclopedia. -[[User:Argy|Argy]]

I made a [[Template:NCS|template]] that I thought might be useful for certain articles after Meowth brought up the fact that one of the shipping articles I'd made might be offensive to some. I considered applying it to the list article, but since it's protected I figured I should ask what everyone else thinks first. [[User:Ketsuban|Ketsuban]] 19:02, 12 May 2005 (UTC)

:Go ahead and add it. There's quite a lot of offensive names on there.

----
I notice this page is very long but doesn't have a few ships, especially with the DP characters. I guess there's not a big following now in America, but in Japan they're everywhere. So that might be part of the problem, because there might not be an American name yet.

I also wondered, maybe we could organize the article into more common ships (PokéShipping, Palletshipping, etc) and the ones that are just... really, really obscure. There might also need to be a section for ships that are a little bit more... you know, PG-13, and we could move the warning at the top to just that article (anything with incest, urine, etc...)

Anyway, here's a list of ships that I think need to be added:
* Ash x Dawn
* Paul x Dawn
* Silver x Jasmine
* Lucas x Cynthia
* Roark x Gardenia
* Volkner x Jasmine
* Volkner x Roark
* Morty x Falkner
* Lucian x Aaron
* Flint x Lucian (usually unrequitted)
* Silver x Gold -- I think "Silver" is currently listed as "Black" for some reason
* Gold x Red
*etc Unsigned comment by {{u|Greengiant}}

:The problem is that, while Luna Tiger maintains the list on BMGf, no one has updated this version of the list for over a year. That means that any ships created since then, including all the DP ships, are not reflected in it. I am a bit busy with real life at the moment but I will take a look at it on Sunday if no one updates it before then. --[[User:Fabu-Vinny|FabuVinny]] [[User talk:Fabu-Vinny|T]]-[[Special:Contributions/Fabu-Vinny|C]]-[[User:Fabu-Vinny/Sandbox|S]] 18:19, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

Altru Ruins can be found here by going through Chroma Ruins. It is here where Doyle Hall started searching for a new energy source. Brighton Hall left his diary here as well, only to found by the Ranger several years later. [[Ponte]] spends most of his time here after quitting Team Dim Sun. He sets off to [[Vientown]] after a quest, leaving this place empty.

==Quests==
These are the quests which can be found in the Chroma Highlands:

'''Misdreavus Mischief Mystery!'''
:''I'm having real trouble with a Misdreavus. It's been disturbing me while I'm exploring the many chambers in the Chroma Ruins. It likes to sneak up and startle me for fun. Can anyone help with this?''

'''Ponte's Path to Take'''
:''I'd like you to bring back the Pokémon I want to use as a model for my wood carving. I can see it now: a big, proud, red nose! An impressive moustache! One lives in the Chroma ruins I've heard.''

==Trivia==
*Chroma Ruins is very similar to Stonehenge, both are mysterious rocks and nobody knows when or why it was created

Smeargle: /* Three 'segments'? */ new section

Nice touch with the line about it not evolving given all the speculation about Lucario. ([[User:Argy|Argy]])

These pages deal with known data, not random speculation. On top of that, there is no history of any legendary Pokemon evolving.
--[[User:Jshadias|Jshadias]] 00:14, 2 Mar 2005 (UTC)

That was what I was referring to- the random, unfounded speculation going on at various forums. Before I saw that all non-evolving Pokemon had that line, I thought it was a nice touch to emphasize reality. ([[User:Argy|Argy]])

Wait a minute... what was the second movie Mewtwo was the subject in? (Given Mewtwo Strikes Back is the first) If there was one before it, is there a reason it isn't listed in the movie section? -OmegaPlatinum

:[[Mewtwo Returns]]. --[[User:PAK Man|PAK Man]] [[User talk:PAK Man|Talk]] 12:24, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

::And the only reason why it wasn't listed in the movie section was because it really wasn't a movie.

:One per game. One in the anime. '''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 09:29, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

In the Anime, yes there WAS only one, but it was hinted that they could have made many more of his species had he not destroyed their lab (Random scientist: Very Good, Excellent! Let's work on Mewthree!
-Pokemon the first movie). And as for the games, yes, they made it quite clear in the games that Mewtwo is unique and one of a kind (the stadium games and the Mystery dungeon series don't count [and by stadium games, I mean just Pokemon Stadium ZERO (the unreleased japanese version), Pokemon Stadium, and Pokemon Stadium 2. I consider Colosseum/XD/Battle Revolution to be a different series from Stadium.].)

[[User:Weedle Mchairybug|Weedle Mchairybug]] 23:55, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

But in FireRed and LeafGreen, they never mentioned about making another Mew clone. [[User:BlueJirachi|BlueJirachi]] 14:45, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

Well, they never had it appear in Gold/Silver, they never had it appear in the Colosseum games, they never even had it appear in the Ranger games. the only games it appeared in besides Gen I and it's remakes is the Mystery Dungeon series and the Stadium games, which really don't count in regards to the games canon (heck, the Mystery dungeon games don't even take PLACE on the main Pokemon world.). and of course they didn't mention making another mew clone, because Mewtwo blew up the place before they could even record the idea.

== "Born" or "created" ==

Nevermind, I found them. I was mistaken and Mew did give birth to Mewtwo.--[[User:Ceol|Ceol]] 16:05, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

:No, Mew did not physically give birth to Mewtwo. Mewtwo is a genetically inhanced clone of Mew. The whole concept of "Mew gave birth" is a metaphor for the fact that after a long time of creating clones of Mew that didn't survive the cloning process, the scientists were finally able to create a living clone from Mew's DNA. --'''[[User:InuMimi|いぬ]][[User talk:InuMimi|みみ]]''' 22:02, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

:I know about cloning in the real world, thank you. But by the anime, Mewtwo was in a tank for the first part of his life and no where else. And because he is a fictional cartoon/video game character, there is no other side to the story, meaning if being implanted wasn't shown or mentioned, then it didn't happen. People can make up theories of what they assume is truth but assuming is not truth and fictional characters don't have alternative sides because they are not real. And even if Mew "gave birth", how did the scientists get their hands on a Mew to implant Mewtwo? It was only mentioned that they found a fossilized eyebrow of a Mew. --'''[[User:InuMimi|いぬ]][[User talk:InuMimi|みみ]]''' 22:44, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

:::The anime is based off of the games and the anime goes indepth with almost everything in Pokemon. It was never mentioned in the game how Mewtwo was cloned or if he was implanted.

::::False. The anime is LOSELY based off the games. Hence the anime's Magnemites and Koffings don't need "partners" of the same specie in order to evolve, Red and Green are named Ash and Gary, and Mewtwo is a clone which wasn't created on Cinnabar Island. {{unsigned|Spideym}}
:::::The anime is based on the games in therms of major events, such as catching Pokémon, battling, encountering some characters, etc., not because of it shows some Pokémon before the time (such as Kecleon or Wynaut) it goes in depth of everything on Pokémon, it means that it is just media where Satoshi Tajiri wants to give an update of what's coming.

Cloned and born is the same. There is no clone that grows in a tank. If the anime showed something like that is just because it's children-oriented and some children just don't know how they born. Also I don't think it's important either, this looks like a forum thread. '''[[User:Hfc2x|hfc]][[User talk:Hfc2x|2X]]''' 04:18, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
:You and I both know that the Pokémon world works differently from our own.

They are not created the same way. --'''[[User:InuMimi|いぬ]][[User talk:InuMimi|みみ]]''' 22:34, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
:: To be honest, as much as we say giving birth is a metaphor, etc. At the end of the day, things stated as fact in the anime are NOT considered to be true in the games. In the games, disregarding all evidence from the anime, we are told nothing about Mewtwo's creation other than that it was cloned (I think this first appears in Yellow's dex, but I'm not sure) and that Mew gave birth to it. We also know that these two events are possible to both be true. Additionally, I seem to recall the information about Mew giving birth to Mewtwo being written in someone's log of events - it seems unlikely that they would use metaphors in a log of events. Basically, what I'm trying to say is, based on the evidence exhibited in the games, NOT IN THE ANIME, clearly, Mewtwo was cloned from Mew, and Mew gave birth to Mewtwo.- ''unsigned comment from [[User:Gastly's mama|Gastly's mama]] ([[User talk:Gastly's mama|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Gastly's mama|contribs]]){{ #if: | {{{2}}} |}}''

It was never stated that after the scientific genetic engineering, Mewtwo was implanted into Mew. Sure, in the real world, a clone is implanted into a parent, but you and i know that the real world and the Pokémon world can be quite different from each other. And with this being an encyclopedia, you can't just assume something took place because that's what would really happen. Either it was a metaphor refering to the fact that after years of attempting to successfully clone something from Mew, the scientists were finally able to create something (something being born of Mew's DNA), or Nintendo/GameFreak really wanted to confuse people on how Mewtwo was created, in the games anyway. --'''[[User:InuMimi|いぬ]][[User talk:InuMimi|みみ]]''' 01:20, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

{{spoilers}}
The Mewtwo in Special is actually quite a prominent character, having appeared in the series which starred Red as a main character. While it doesn't make much of an appearance in the RGB saga, it actually makes a difference in the Yellow saga, with Yellow imitating the Psywave attack to supposedly defeat Lance. Even after that, in the FRLG saga, Mewtwo actually becomes part of the crew, having defeated R once, rescued Green's parents, beating the shit out of Deoxys and being the main reason why Red, Blue, Green, Yellow and Silver were turned to stone. So why not have an extra page for it? '''[[User:Optimatum|<sc>Θρtιmαtum♏</sc>]][[User talk:Optimatum|Talk]]|[[User:Optimatum/sig/Pikachu|Links]] 09:46, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

Obviously the whole "resembles Freeza from Dragon Ball Z" thing is way too out of whack, but both Mewtwo and Giygas have various similarities, including the tails, the ears, the similar bad tempers, the white bodies and the fact that the team that worked on the Mother series also worked on the Pokémon series.--[[User:Jake|Jake]] 16:56, 14 May 2009 (UTC)

== false info? ==

The article says mewtwo is the first pokemon to use a genII move, but i think that's false.

for one thing I'm pretty sure Mewtwo doesn't use that spherical attack until his battle with mew.

From how Mewtwo acts using psychic in Stadium, and given that psychic can be in a spherical form it might just be psychic he's using.

Donphan uses Rollout at the opening battle. [[User:Yami Takashi|Yami]] 19:37, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

:Well how are you so sure Donphan is using Rollout? We have just as much evidence that it uses Rollout as Mewtwo's using Shadow Ball: on the basis that it looks like that traditional attack. Also, SSBM Mewtwo, who is obviously based on the movie Mewtwo, has Shadow Ball as an attack. I will give you that Donphan most likely displayed the first Gen II move but Mewtwo most likely used Shadow Ball. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 21:13, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

Sorry for the misunderstanding, the first puddle seen in the article is giratina, which has a shape like this http://gallery.bulbagarden.net/albums/userpics/11378/thumb_giratina.jpg for the second one, you can see dialga's face, with one of the dots acting as his eye, the third one looks like palkia's pearl mixed with his head.--[[User:M.vit|M.vit]] 19:56, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

I found out that each of the caves according to units on the town map (I.E the one that mention the cave and spear pillar and including girantinas lake) ar roughly 12 units away for each of them by the Pythagorean Theorem. Show anything? [[User:Atomix26|Atomix26]] 21:10, 12 July 2008 (UTC)

== Name... ==

I know ''I'' made up the name "lake trio" but I'm thinking that a better way to describe them would be legendary pixies. Plus, then they'd fit with the other three standard trios. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 02:52, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
:What standard? Beasts, birds, golems, dragons, fine, that's a standard...and then there's the weather trio. They don't have a standard, thus break any standard one would have. Everyone calls them the lake trio anyway. Besides being sprite-like (as in fae, not pixel), it's what they have in common that's the most blaringly obvious. Change 'lake' and you'd have to change 'weather'...and the only thing they have in common is the Bible. And we {{tt|cannot|under, like, ANY circumstance}} call them that. Lake trio is fine. ...It's also shorter. You know how people in this fandom like their short hand. [[User:ArcToraphim|Luna Tiger]] * [[User talk:ArcToraphim|the Arc Toraph]] 03:01, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

[[Image:TRSeals.jpg|thumb|right|{{TP|James|Carnivine}}, {{TP|James|Mime Jr.}}, and {{MTR}} play around with seals]]'''Seals''' are small stickers that are able to be attached to [[Ball Capsule]]s, which can in turn be attached to [[Poké Ball]]s, to attain a special effect when a [[Pokémon]] comes out of them, instead of the usual flash of light. The majority of them can be purchased in the Sunyshore Market in [[Sunyshore City]], where the selection changes daily. However, there are an additional 28 seals (letters A through Z and the exclamation point and question mark), obtained by showing {{p|Unown}} to a boy in [[Solaceon Town]]. This can be repeated as often as needed - a new Unown is not needed each time.

Eight seals at a time can be attached to any Ball Capsule. They can be set on the {{player}}'s [[PC]]. Where they are placed on the Ball Capsule will affect where the effect is displayed upon the Pokémon's release.

A [[glitch]] on the [[Global Trade Station|GTS]] allows [[Player character|the player]] to get an [[item]] called [[Seal Bag]], which holds 10 seals. Its function was superseded by the [[Seal Case]].

Seals are commonly used in contests. These make the entrance of the Pokémon more attractive and may sometimes affect the score given to them also. A few Seals are supplied when a coordinator receives a Seal Case, but the majority are bought at shops and markets.

Amity Square

'''Amity Square''' (Japanese: '''ふれあいひろば''' ''Contact Plaza'') is a park in [[Sinnoh]] where {{pkmn|Trainer}}s can [[walking Pokémon|walk]] around with their [[Pokémon]] and talk to them to check their moods.

Amity Square is located north of [[Hearthome City]]. The setup in Amity Square is identical to the {{p|Pikachu}} interaction system that was in {{game|Yellow}}. Only certain small Pokémon can be taken for walks in Amity Square, usually of a "cute" appearance. Pokémon will fetch [[Accessory|accessories]] or [[Berry|berries]] for their owners every 200 steps.

In {{game|Platinum}}, more Pokémon are allowed in than before, and the area has been expanded and redesigned. It now includes a rather large pool of water.

The rock huts serves no purpose in {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}; however, in {{v2|Platinum}}, they contain warp points that send the {{player}} to another hut in the park. Each hut contains three warp points to the left, right, and in front of the entrance.

===In Platinum===

* {{TM|43|Secret Power}}: on the rock in the middle of the island.
* {{TM|45|Attract}}: near the warp in the middle center north of the lake.
* {{DL|Plate|Spooky Plate}}: on a ledge reachable by going in the first hut from the East entrance, and warping in the east warp three times.
* {{DL|In-battle effect item|Amulet Coin}}: behind the bench, all the way north from the East entrance.

A man goes around the square everyday. To reach him, players must go through the east gate. When found, he will give the player items such as five [[Berry|berries]] or a contest [[Accessory|accessory]].

==In the anime==
In ''[[DP040|Top-Down Training!]]'', [[Paul]] {{pkmn|battle}}d [[Cynthia]] in a location called 自然公園 ''Natural Park'', which was called Amity Square in the [[dub]].

==Trivia==
*One of the few Pokémon allowed out from the [[Poké Ball]] is Pikachu, which did the same throughout the game {{game|Yellow}}.
*No {{cat|Generation II Pokémon}} are allowed in Amity Square.
*[[Ash Ketchum]] and most of his {{Ashfr|friends}} have a Pokémon that can be used in Amity Square: Ash has {{AP|Pikachu}}, {{AP|Grotle}}, and {{AP|Chimchar}}, [[Misty]] has {{TP|Misty|Psyduck}}, [[Brock]] has {{TP|Brock|Happiny}}, {{an|May}} has {{TP|May|Skitty}} and had {{TP|May|Torchic}} before it evolved, and {{an|Dawn}} has {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}}, {{TP|Dawn|Pachirisu}}, and {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}}.
**The only ones who do not have an Amity Square Pokémon are {{Tracey}} and [[Max]], and the latter because he doesn't have any Pokémon.
**[[Paul]], Ash's rival, also has a Pokémon that can be used at Amity Square: {{TP|Paul|Torterra}}.
*There is also a small location in [[Fall City]], [[Fiore]] called Amity Square.
*It is revealed by a citizen of [[Hearthome City]] that [[Mr. Backlot]], owner of the [[Trophy Garden]], owns Amity Square.
*If the [[Cheating|walk through walls]] cheat is used, the first Pokémon in the party will be taken into the garden with the {{player}}; it will not, however, be able to be seen or be able to pick up items. The Pokémon can only be noticed when speaking to one of the women near the gates.
*In Pokémon Platinum, in the middle of the water, there is a small island in Amity Square that is a tiny model of the [[Sinnoh]] region. Even [[Mount Coronet]] is shown, using elevated rock.

==In other languages==
* '''Spanish:''' ''Plaza Amistad''
* '''Italian:''' ''Parco Concordia''
* '''German:''' ''Platz der Treue''

== Long story short ==

Pokemaniac left after you left and Ryguy left and Shiny left. During that time, {{u|Jioruji Derako}} found the code for the roundies (-moz-border-radius) and TTE started using <nowiki>{{#:switch}}</nowiki>es. Meanwhile, Tavisource, Kuki, 0 Degrees, Super Max joined BP and started their own project (Project Custom Sprites). After that, three of them (Kuki, 0 Degrees and Super Max) were blocked at least once, leaving Tav kinda like in my situation, since the three of you from the UEP left.

Oh, and after that this girl called Tina returned.

Well, that's everything that I can recall that happened. Hope you can cope with the changes. '''[[User:Optimatum|Θρtιmαtum]][[User talk:Optimatum|Talk]] 09:40, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
:I'm assuming the <nowiki>{{#:switch}}</nowiki> is time-based automatic switches, right..? I bet now I'll start identifying a weird lighter as a 'new-fangled cellular phone'. lol
:Also, I'm pretty sure the roundycorners were discovered right before I left (..since well, look at the table at the top of my talk page). I can't remember how to fully operate them much, though, so I guess it's off to the sandbox for me. XD

==Trivia==
*Chinchou and {{p|Lanturn}} are the only {{type|Electric}}s whose primary type is not Electric.
*Although Chinchou is shown to have the ability to walk on land in the {{pkmn|anime}}, in the games it may only be caught in water.
*The vowel sounds in Chinchou's English name are reverse of the vowels in its Japanese name.

===Origin===
It is based on an {{wp|angler fish}}, its species name.

====Name origin====
Chinchou's name is a play on 提灯 ''chōchin'', {{wp|lantern}}. Its Japanese name is also a corruption of ''chōchin''. Also, the チョウチンアンコウ ''chouchin-anko'' is the name of the ''footballfish'', a deep-sea fish similar to {{p|Lanturn}}.

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

As a new user, you may wish to learn a few things that will be useful in your editing:
*For a basic overview of wiki code, see [[Help:Editing|this page]].
*The {{bp|manual of style}} is very important. Make sure to read it. It outlines all official policies of Bulbapedia.
*The word Pokémon is spelled with a capital '''P''' and an accented '''é'''. The P, of course, is accessed easily by holding Shift and pressing the P key, while the é can be accessed using Alt + 130 or Alt + 0233 on a Windows computer, and Option + e, then e again on a Mac. Otherwise, you can click it in the character palette below the editbox.
*On {{bp|talk page}}s, please sign your comments with four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>).
*The use of {{cat|link templates}} is official policy. For an explanation on their use, see the page on {{bp|shortlinks}}.
*If you happen to spot a vandal in the [[Special:Recentchanges|recent changes]] that has not been dealt with, please see {{bp|dealing with vandalism|this page}} for how to deal with it.
*A list of pages that are linked to, but have not been created, can be found at [[Special:Wantedpages|this page]]. A list of short articles that may require more information can be found {{cat|stubs|here}}, while a list of articles that need improvement can be found {{cat|articles needing improvement|here}}.

Hi, I am an administrator of Pokemon Global, and one of my wiki editors, Jacobe, informs me that he has been banned from bulbapedia by you. He quotes the reason given for the ban as: "Because we just don't like you: Evidence of clear info transfer between our wiki and his. No can do.."

He claims that he does not transfer information from bulbapedia to his articles, and furthermore, under the Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 2.5 license under which all content in bulbapedia is governed, all content may be freely modified and redistributed under a similar license, of which our wiki is under. If you are indeed banning people for something which your license not only allows but encourages, this deeply concerns me. I would like some clarification over the reason for this ban, and I look forward to resolving this matter in a timely manner. --[[User:Fshy94|Fshy94]] 20:49, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

:Hey there. Yes, I did ban Jacobe. And if he says he's not transferring information, he's a bit of a liar, as can be evidenced by what it says [[User:Jacobe|here]]. Additionally, yeah, you are free to take Bulbapedia content provided you attribute it to Bulbapedia. See the bold section [[Bulbapedia:Copyrights|here]]. Read the whole thing while you're at it. So, in essence, if you wanna take our content you oughta have a good size banner that says "HEY GUYS WE ESSENTIALLY RIPPED THIS FROM [[Main Page|BULBAPEDIA]]" so you actually are abiding by the ANCSA 2.5 license. And I don't see the word "Bulbapedia" anywhere on your wiki. And just for good measure, what license ''exactly'' is your wiki under?

:And the "We just don't like you" reason is a common reason for blocking. We have "funny reasons" to choose from if we don't feel like putting "Other" but the offense doesn't fall into any real categories. So, the reason for the ban is that he even ''admitted'' to transferring content between wikis. He didn't even give credit, and we '''just don't like that.''' And, if I'm not mistaken, our license has nothing at all to say about whether I can or cannot ban people for any reason at all. Thanks. --[[User:Politoed666|ニョロトノ]][[User talk:Politoed666|''666'']] 03:13, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

:: Thanks for responding in a timely manner. He says that he misspoke when he wrote that, but at any rate, this feels like a rather trivial event. As for abiding to the ANCSA license, looking around, our entire wiki team has failed to reference any sources properly, which is something that they may wish to...well, do (they're a bit green with wiki's). As for banners, that's not specified in the license, so I presume a simple reference would suffice, or an "External links" section, which seems to be the current policy in wikipedia. I agree that the license does not stipulate whether you can ban anyone for any reason you please, but that's a rather odd way of looking at it, no? Oh, and btw, we're also under ANCSA(3.0 with us). I understand that some of the reason for the hostility may be due to a feeling that our wiki competes with yours; but that's not quite the case, we merely wish to have a reference of information related to our game, as some of that information clearly isn't relevant to bulbapedia's purpose. At any rate, while your banning or unbanning Jacobe matters little, I think it'd be a gesture of good faith, as I highly doubt Jacobe intentionally or maliciously broke your policy. --[[User:Fshy94|Fshy94]] 06:30, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

:::Alright. I understand. I apologize for being harsh earlier, and I appreciate your diplomacy through the ordeal. I ''will'' unblock Jacobe as a gesture of good faith provided you agree to cite Bulbapedia as a reference when creating the article. As opposed to simply linking to us in your external links section, it would be appreciated if you would create an additional section titled "references" and link to us there. Thank you. --[[User:Politoed666|ニョロトノ]][[User talk:Politoed666|''666'']] 03:09, 11 February 2009 (UTC)

'''Sendoff Spring''' (Japanese: '''おくりのいずみ''' ''Sendoff Spring'') is an area east of {{rt|214}}, accessible via the [[Spring Path]]. It is known as the "fourth lake of Sinnoh that was kept secret", and is said by some to be where the dead go to journey to the world beyond. On the shore of the lake in the center of the area is the entrance to [[Turnback Cave]], where the link between the [[Pokémon world]] and the [[Distortion World]] is weaker.

==Trivia==
*Despite being known as Sinnoh's fourth lake, the Town Map does not display the lake over the yellow area indicating the route.

Shiny Pokémon

Smeargle: oops, messed up with the shortlink!

'''Alternate coloration''' (Japanese: '''色違い''' ''iro chigai'') of a Pokémon is one of the many differences that a Pokémon can have within its species. Commonly, this is called being a '''shiny''' (Japanese: '''光る''' ''hikaru'') Pokémon.

Shiny Pokémon in the games may differ in color from their normal counterparts either very little or very much. Usually the former is the case, with some Pokémon, such as {{p|Froslass}}, having their shiny form be only a few shades lighter in color. However, many Pokémon will have a spectacular difference between their normal and shiny variations; even extremely common Pokémon like {{p|Caterpie}} show a dramatic difference.

Despite being completely different colors, however, the two forms of {{p|Shellos}} and {{p|Gastrodon}} are not normal/shiny variations of one another. Their difference is more akin to [[form differences|the difference]] between {{p|Unown}} or {{p|Spinda}}.

To distinguish the Pokémon from their normally-colored counterparts, many fans refer to alternate-colored Pokémon as their color, such as a green Espeon or a gold Steelix.

==In the games==
In the [[version|main series]], alternate coloration was introduced in [[Generation II]]. This was likely to take fullest advantage of the [[Game Boy Color]], which enhanced [[Pokémon Gold and Silver]] and was required for [[Pokémon Crystal]].

When a shiny Pokémon appears in the wild or from a trainer's [[Poké Ball]], stars will surround it and make a pinging sound effect. In Generation II, this ping happens before the Pokémon's call, while in Generations [[Generation III|III]] and [[Generation IV|IV]] it happens afterward. On the Pokémon's status screen, its shiny status is indicated in Generation II as three small stars next to its gender and in Generation III and IV as a large star on the status screen. In Generation IV, the Pokémon's [[Pokédex]] number will also be colored red instead of black.

===Pokémon Stadium===
In [[Pokémon Stadium (English)|Pokémon Stadium]] and [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], Pokémon with a nickname can be colored slightly differently, no matter whether or not they are actually alternate colored or not. This seems to have disappeared from later games.

===Generation II===
[[Image:Talkin' 'Bout an Evolution.jpg|frame|A Red Gyarados.]]
[[Image:130.png|thumb|left|Regular {{p|Gyarados}}.]]
[[Image:Spr 4d 130 s.png|thumb|left|Red Gyarados.]]
In Generation II, shininess is determined by the [[IV]]s of a Pokémon. If a Pokémon's Speed, Defense, and Special IVs are 10, and its Attack IV is 2, 3, 6, 7, 10, 11, 14 or 15, it will be shiny. This determination allowed for compatibility with [[Generation I]], as if a shiny Pokémon is traded back, then traded forward, it would retain its shininess. Despite the bonus of backwards compatibility allowing for a shiny Pokémon to learn Generation I [[TM]]s, provided it was a Generation I Pokémon, shiny Pokémon are only slightly above average in terms of IVs.

Due to the probability of the IVs lining up in any of these manners to produce a shiny Pokémon, the chance of obtaining one in Generation II is approximately 1/8192. However, if one breeds a shiny Pokémon properly, the offspring may have as high as a 1/64 chance of being shiny, depending on the species of Pokémon.

To highlight alternate coloration, a [[red Gyarados]] at the [[Lake of Rage]] is part of the main plot of the Generation II games. After its defeat or capture, a Red Scale will be obtained, which can be given to [[Mr. Pokémon]] in exchange for an [[Exp. Share]]. The red Gyarados is the only Pokémon in the games that will be shiny without fail.

Shininess is inherent to an individual Pokémon; that is, a Pokémon that starts out shiny will always be shiny, and one that is not will never be, provided its data is unaltered. Upon evolution, a Pokémon will retain its shiny status. A shiny {{p|Charmander}}, if leveled up, will eventually become a shiny {{p|Charmeleon}} and then a shiny {{p|Charizard}}, just as a regular Charmander will become a regular Charmeleon and then a regular Charizard. This is due to the status being determined by values inherent to the Pokémon, however, there is a [[Personality value|difference]] in the determination between [[Generation II]] and [[Generation III]] and [[Generation IV|IV]].

===Generations III and IV===
In Generation III, most of the data structures were redone. As such, a Pokémon's shininess would no longer need to be linked to its stats due to incompatibilities between the Generation III games and previous generations. The determinant for shininess is instead a calculation based on the [[Trainer ID number]] of the player encountering it and the [[personality value#Shininess|personality value]] of the Pokémon. The secret ID and trainer ID bytewords are first xored together, and then the first byteword of the personality value is xored with the second byteword of the personality value. If the xor of these two results is less than eight, then the Pokémon is shiny. This results in a probability of 1 in 8192 (8/65536), just as in Generation II. Symbolically:

(Trainer ID) '''xor''' (Secret ID) = E

(First byteword of personality value) '''xor''' (Second byteword of personality value) = F

if E '''xor''' F is less than eight, then the Pokémon is shiny.

In [[Trainer Tower]] in {{g|FireRed and LeafGreen}} there are two trainers which have shiny Pokémon. In the single battle mode, the seventh trainer has a shiny {{p|Meowth}}, while in double battle mode, the first pair of trainers have a shiny {{p|Espeon}}.

===Pokémon Mystery Dungeon===
[[Image:207episode.jpg|left|thumb|A regular Kecleon with a purple Kecleon.]]
It is sometimes thought that the TM Merchant in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]] is a shiny Pokémon. It is a Kecleon, and although Kecleon are normally green, it is actually purple, including its sprite. However, though it is alternate-colored (like the Kecleon in ''[[EP205|The Kecleon Caper]]''), it is not shiny (shiny Kecleon have a blue stripe instead of a red stripe). It says that it was so excited about Orbs that it turned rosy-colored. {{fact}} In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2]], a shiny {{p|Celebi}} appears, although shiny Pokémon are not obtainable normally in the game.
 

==In the TCG==
Alternate colored Pokémon have appeared in the TCG as well, first as {{TCG|Shining Pokémon}} in {{TCG|Neo Revelation}} and {{TCG|Neo Destiny}}, and later as [[Pokémon Star (TCG)|Pokémon]] {{Star}} in {{TCG|EX Team Rocket Returns}} - {{TCG|EX Power Keepers}}.
{{-}}
==In the anime==
[[Image:ShinyDonphan.jpg|right|thumb|An alternate color {{p|Donphan}} in the anime.]]
Although the games had not premiered alternate colored Pokémon until Generation II, several Pokémon seen beforehand were colored differently. One such example is the [[pink Butterfree]], the mate of [[Ash's Butterfree]], which appeared as early as [[EP021|the twenty-first episode]]. This is, however, not the standard alternate coloration for a {{p|Butterfree}}, causing many to not count it. Likewise, the first appearance of a [[Generation III Pokémon]] in ''[[EP205|The Kecleon Caper]]'' featured a non-standard alternate colored Pokémon, this time a purple {{p|Kecleon}}. The first Pokémon with its official alternate coloration seen was also the first [[:Category:Generation II Pokémon|Generation II Pokémon]] to be seen, a [[Ho-Oh (anime)|Ho-Oh]] seen by Ash in [[EP001|the first episode]]. Because alternate coloration was not yet an explored concept, however, most do not consider this to be an "official" shiny Pokémon either. A blue {{p|Breloom}} and a light-blue {{p|Marill}} also appeared in ''[[AG151|Weekend Warrior]]'', which aren't the offical alternate colors for those Pokémon, and therefore was quite obviously a coloring error. Another Pokémon that's attributed as being a shiny is Saturn's {{p|Toxicroak}} from [[DP069]]. Whether it is really a shiny or that's just how Toxicroak are depicted in the anime is being debated.

The first true shiny Pokémon that appeared, however, was a [[Ash's Noctowl|Noctowl]] in ''[[EP154|Fowl Play]]''. [[Ash Ketchum|Ash]] eventually captured it, and, as in the games, sparkles surround it as it comes from its [[Poké Ball]]. Several other shiny Pokémon have appeared as well.

Villainous team

2008-01-12T13:35:48Z

Smeargle: typo correction

{{incomplete}}
'''Villainous teams''' (English: Team ~; Japanese: -団 ''-dan'') are [[wp:Organized crime|criminal organizations]] which form the core of the storyline of [[Pokémon games]].There are seven as of [[Generation IV]]: [[Team Rocket]], found in [[Generation I]], [[Generation II]] and the Generation III remakes; [[Team Aqua]] and [[Team Magma]], found in the [[Generation III]] main games; [[Cipher]] and [[Team Snagem]], found in the [[GameCube]] games; [[Team Galactic]], found in the [[Generation IV]] main games; and the [[Go-Rock Squad]], of [[Pokémon Ranger]]. Whatever their goals are in their respective games, the one thing they all have in common is that they acheive their results through the misuse of Pokémon.

=Comparisons=

Whereas [[Team Rocket]] has vague goals and is [[wp:Mafia|Mafia-like]] (or perhaps [[wp:Yakuza|Yakuza-like]], considering the Japanese background), Team Aqua and Team Magma have clear goals and are [[wp:Cult|cult-like]], fanatically believing that achieving their goals will bring about the best interests of the people of the world. Cipher and Team Snagem work together to steal Pokémon from others and create [[Shadow Pokémon]] from them, while the leader of Team Galactic wishes to recreate the universe in his image with the powers of {{p|Dialga}} or {{p|Palkia}}. The Go-Rock Squad plan to take over the Pokémon Rangers by capturing powerful Pokémon, making them cause disasters, then commanding the Pokémon to stop by using Stylers so they will be regarded as Heroes. Each has an iconic leader - [[Giovanni]] (later missing), [[Archie]], [[Maxie]], [[Evice]] and [[Greevil]], [[Gonzap]], [[Cyrus]], and [[Gordor]] respectively.

Team Rocket had extensive presence in [[Generation I]], known activities include running the [[Celadon Game Corner]], invading [[Silph Co.]], and murdering at least one Pokémon. Even in the [[Pokémon anime|anime]], where law enforcement officers are clearly present, Team Rocket's activities continue unhindered, as if they were above the law. (Analysis?)

In contrast, [[Team Aqua]] and [[Team Magma]]'s activities are at extremes: simple theft: stealing [[Peeko|a Pokémon]], a meteorite, and one submarine; and causing catastrophes: halting the activity of [[Mt. Chimney|a volcano]] and causing droughts and heavy rains by awakening {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}}, while [[Cipher]] steals countless Pokémon and closes their hearts artificially to make them into fighting machines.

Similarly to Team Rocket, [[Team Galactic]] appears to run the [[Veilstone Game Corner]]. However, unlike the other teams, Team Galactic has several facilites. A warehouse and [[Galactic Veilstone Building]] reside in [[Veilstone City]], and the [[Galactic Eterna Building]] is located at [[Eterna City]]. Team Galactic is far more successful than the other teams in accomplishing their goals, as they have captured {{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Mesprit}}, and {{p|Azelf}}, created the [[Red Chain]], and temporarily capture {{p|Dialga}} or {{p|Palkia}} until the player character and the [[lake trio]] foils them.

The above refers to the games; however, there is a darker interpretation of the teams in the manga [[Pokémon Special]].

=Trademark characteristics=

==[[Team Rocket]]==
They wear black costumes and have a red "R" as their crest. Many variations of the costume have been seen. Their leader is [[Giovanni]].
===In the games===
[[Giovanni]] was the leader of the [[Viridian City]] Gym until [[Blue (game)|Blue]] took over.

===In the anime===
Team Rocket has appeared in almost every episode since [[EP002|the second]], usually as the bumbling trio [[Jessie]], [[James]], and [[Meowth (Team Rocket)|Meowth]], though at times [[Giovanni]] as well as other members will appear.

===In the manga===

==[[Team Aqua]]==
They wear blue costumes that look like pirate outfits. They have an anchor-looking "A" as their crest. Their leader is [[Archie]]. Team Aqua tries to expand the ocean and awaken {{p|Kyogre}}.
===In the games===
Team Aqua are the main antagonists of [[Pokémon Sapphire|Sapphire]] and [[Pokémon Emerald|Emerald]], but they are heroes in [[Pokémon Ruby|Ruby]].

===In the anime===
===In the manga===

==[[Team Magma]]==
They wear red jumpsuit outfits, which have been variously interpreted to look like [[wp:Ninja|Ninja]] costumes or an appearance of the [[wp:Devil|Devil]]. They have a stylized "M", appearing like a volcano, as their team's signature crest. Their leader is [[Maxie]]. Team Magma attempts to wake {{p|Groudon}} and expand the land area of the world.

===In the games===
Team Magma are the antagonists in Ruby and Emerald, and are heros in Sapphire.
===In the anime===
===In the manga===

==[[Cipher]]==
===In the games===
In [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and [[Pokémon XD]] this group aims to turn every Pokémon in the world into [[Shadow Pokémon]].

===In the anime===
Due to the [[Orre]] region not appearing at all in the anime, everything associated with it does not appear as well. Due to the connection between [[Shadow Pokémon]] and [[Vicious]]'s [[Dark Ball]]s, it would not be surprising if this team were based off of him.

===In the manga===

==[[Team Snagem]]==
===In the games===
In Pokémon Colosseum and Pokémon XD this team tries to steal every Pokémon in the world using their special device, the [[Snag Machine]].
===In the anime===
===In the manga===

==[[Team Galactic]]==
Galactic Grunts wear black and white jumpsuits that vaguely resemble spacesuits and wear their hair in teal bowl cuts. Their leader is [[Cyrus]], who wishes to awaken {{p|Dialga}} or {{p|Palkia}} in order to destroy the universe and rebuild it in his image. Their team's crest is a stylized letter "G" (Possibly to make it resemble a spiral galaxy). Whereas the other teams usually have large logos on their uniforms, Team Galatic's logos are small, being barely visible on their battle sprites.
===In the games===
In [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl]], this team's [[Cyrus|leader]] wishes to remake the universe in his image with the powers of {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}.

===In the anime===
[[Saturn]] is the only one, along with two grunts, of the team that appears so far. They first appeared in ''[[DP036|A Secret Sphere of Influence!]]'', though it was just a brief cameo at the end of the episode. Here, they commisioned Team Rocket to steal the Adamant Orb and frame [[Nando]] for the crime. At the end, they commented that they did a lousy job at it. This was not revealed until their next appearance, [[DP060]]. Saturn tries to locate the {{p|Unown}} and control them using a cube with an {{p|Arceus}} pattern. His {{p|Bronzor}} was revealed in this episode.

===In the manga===

==[[Go-Rock Squad]]==
===In the games===
In [[Pokémon Ranger]], this team attempts to capture the [[legendary beasts]] with their own version of the [[Capture Styler]].

===In the anime===

Smeargle:

==White/Black areas==

Okay, so last night (at the time of writing) I was messing around with the 'Walk Through Walls' cheat that is included in Codejunkies' cheat list for Diamond and Pearl. I set out over the Mystery Zone from Sandgem Town, aiming for Jubilife. All goes well, until I try and walk up to the GTS area - I can't get past the line where the Type guy stands. So I kinda shrug, press R again and get past him. As I don't have any badges the GTS man trys to stop me as I walk past him, I move on and....

Jubilife got eaten. There's huge walls of black, like I've been tweaking. Later, I tried to get to Florama using the Walk through walls and when I get there, wherever there's meant to be a flower, it's a strange creamy white colour. Perhaps the Walk Through Walls/Walk Anywhere cheat needs its own page?

(Oh, and I couldn't think of anywhere else to put this.) -[[Image:Ani466MS.gif]] [[User:Archaeic|Archaeic]] [[Image:Ani466MS.gif]] 20:20, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

I'll post whenever I can... I really don't have much time to, truthfully. ... Of course, you're free to pick and choose from what I've already written. It's all at http://www.fakecard.com/pokemon/tcg/ ... Just be sure the text get rewritten, best take out all the Hmmm!'s and other personalized stuff, just so it seems more like an official encyclopedia piece, y'know? -nick15

I'm also useless when it comes to anything Nintendo has released since around Team Magma/Aqua, so you're gonna have to find someone else who's up to date with those sets. - nick15

If I remember right, a user is alerted when someone writes on their talk page. I was going to see if I had enough power to abuse to put this on the front page, but I don't =P

I'm considering taking down PokeFor by the end of the summer. So, here's an open offer for Bulbapedia to take its content, reword it into your own words and use it. Okay, so I allowed that before, but now there's a rush for content as it'll be gone within a month or two! Okay, so there's still the [http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://pokefor.greenchu.de/meowth346/ Wayback Machine] (where you can still see PokeFor's wonderous pink layout!) If PokeFor has anything of use, then have fun and enjoy. If it doesn't, then please disregard this. Feel free to pass this message on to any Bulbapedia users. Even though I openly and outright detest parts of Bulbapedia, why should I care one bit about things after I'm gone? --[[User:Meowth346|Meowth346]] 07:56, 19 Jul 2005 (UTC)

I was taken aback by your decision to freeze the site, but remained optimistic about the possibility that you could change your mind. I have even been keeping track of the site's recently modified files feed, and noticed that you have updated it at least once since the freeze took place. If it is not too much to ask, I would like to know why the site cannot remain in its present state, so that you can resume maintaining it if and when you change your mind.

PokeFor does indeed have its many uses, so the question should not be if Bulbapedia would be benefited from taking its content, but rather if it deserves to do so in the first place. Before PokeFor's content can be implemented, Bulbapedia has to undergo many changes, and Bulbagarden itself has to be less geared at the anime and the Pokemon fandom. The People category is a good example, merging the creators of the games with arguably influential figures in the Pokemon community (I consider it a problem that Archaic and Serebii's pages are more detailed than those of Satoshi Tajiri and Junichi Masuda). It will be very easy to simply implement PokeFor's content as it is, but it will not blend with Bulbapedia's less-than-satisfactory quality. If those in charge decide to take up Meowth346's offer, I hope that they will also be fair enough to follow suggestions to revert Bulbapedia to a true Pokémon encyclopedia. Even if he may not admit it, Meowth346 at the very least deserves to know that his hard work has been put to good use. --Unown Lord

: "so that you can resume maintaining it if and when you change your mind."; yup, you hit the nail on the head. That's why I'm dropping it. --[[User:Meowth346|Meowth346]] 11:30, 19 Jul 2005 (UTC)

: If you so strongly feel that it is less than satisfactory, you should take up the challenge and improve the quality [[Satoshi Tajiri|of]] [[Jun'ichi Masuda|said]] [[Ken Sugimori|articles]]. (Then again, this sort of information is hard to come by. Where could we possibly find out, say, Ken Sugimori's birthdate or Jun'ichi Masuda's birthplace?)
: But I don't think we are going to roll back on our policy to be an encyclopedia of canon '''and''' community. That's a step backwards. Anybody and everybody has an encyclopedia of canon. This is our way of differenciating ourselves. (You could argue the very idea of a wiki encyclopedia is how we are different, but anybody and everybody can have one.) As much as our latest efforts ''appear'' to be anime- and community-focused, rest assured we still respect the rest of the canon. (In fact, I would ''really'' like it if more effort was placed there...)
: But let's face facts: if people won't contribute because they feel it won't blend in, and if it won't blend in because people won't contribute - well, then we're mired in a vicious circle, aren't we? So, we accept the challenge to assimilate and integrate Meowth346's accumulated volume of knowledge. - [[User:Zhen Lin|振霖]][[User talk:Zhen Lin|T]] 13:33, 19 Jul 2005 (UTC)

: I simply fail to see why the the People category cannot be split into two separate parts, representing the canon and the community. Looking at the other parts of the Bulbapedia, there is no major collision between the two, but judging by this example alone, that may simply be due to a coincidence. Is there not a way in which Bulbapedia can remain an encyclopedia of both canon and community, and yet not force the community upon those who could find it offensive? You must have gathered from Meowth346 that he is one such person whose enthusiastic approach towards Bulbapedia was turned down by some articles that pertain to the community. I also find that there are ''very'' few English sites which do justice to the canon, so you should see Bulbapedia has a means to collect information from those sites, as well as to highlight them over the many sites that follow the repetitive pattern of the same limited content. You should not feel obligated to focus on the community if only to make Bulbapedia unique (that is not to say that you should roll back on your policy completely, but that you should attempt at separating the community-related content from the canon-related pages).

: I have been demotivated to take an active part in Bulbapedia, but with the inclusion of PokeFor's content, I feel compelled to change that. I will do my best at ensuring that the site's content is assimilated in such a way that stays true to Meowth346's ambitions, and that the rest of Bulbapedia undergoes the necessary changes. As a final note, I only hope that this does not only mean you will intergrate Meowth346's work on the past and present games, but also strive to follow his path when future games are released (the most relevant subject being the upcoming XD game). --Unown Lord

:: Few of us have the skill or talent needed to do as he has done for the game canon. I myself have not the resources to even extract the simplest information from XD, for I have neither a GameCube nor a DVD-ROM drive to read the data with. The upcoming Diamond/Pearl are an even greater challenge: no one has ever dissected a DS Pokémon game before. I am not even aware of any successes in dumping DS games. (It is my hope that when dumped, the structure will not be ''too'' different from the GBA.)
:: The people category would have been split, were it not for the difficulty in finding suitable category names. No doubt that people agree that [[Hirokazu Tanaka|Tanaka Hirokazu]], [[Ken Sugimori|Sugimori Ken]], [[Satoshi Tajiri|Tajiri Satoshi]], [[Jun'ichi Masuda|Masuda Jun'ichi]] et al should be separated from [[Archaic]], [[Meowth346]] and [[Murgatroyd]] - just how do you define the criteria as a category name?
:: My own question is this: is it actually the community that people find offensive, or just [[:Category:Shipping|certain segments]]? - [[User:Zhen Lin|振霖]][[User talk:Zhen Lin|T]] 14:34, 19 Jul 2005 (UTC)

:: Actually, Nintendo DS games are being dumped. Check it out [http://www.gbatemp.net/ here]. -GoldChaos

::: Cooperation is the key word. Meowth346 accomplished as much as he did because not only did he possess the knowledge and talent, he also had the ambition and intuition to decipher the games. He did have most of the resources available to him, but the English data for FireRed/LeafGreen and Emerald is at least one example for instances in which he relied on others to provide him some of the resources. He seldom expressed his wishes to turn PokeFor into a wiki, knowing that cooperation would further the already high-end standards of the site. He was enthusiastic towards Bulbapedia at first for this reason, but the project took a much different direction than he had expected. You should not regard Meowth346's kind offer as a token of his approval of Bulbapedia--I assure you this is not the case. I have no place to speak on his behalf, but I will say that this is his way to ensure that the community does not completely deteriorate after he leaves. Do not expect him to hand you all the information without any substantial work, as that will establish very little. By working on the Bulbapedia so that PokeFor's contents blend with the existing information, and to a lesser extent vice-versa, a window of opportunity will be opened. PokeFor's contents can be made even more elaborate, as Meowth346 once wished that a wiki would accomplish, and with some time and much cooperation we may be able to reach a sufficient level so as to be able to extract and analyze data from future games.

::: Myself, I was offended by the inclusion of a large part of the Bulbagarden staff in the People category. I have already described how inappropriate I find the lack of distinction between the game creators and the fans, not all of whom even deserve to be acknowledged as having contributed to the community. Some people are known, or used to be known around the community for various reasons. That is not to say that those people necessarily contributed more than others, but if their contribution can be put in words, it should mean that it is appropriate to list them. If the person is not widely known and is still listed, it creates the impression that Bulbapedia is not as community-driven as it is made out to be, and is simply dedicated to Bulbagarden's needs. In other words, if the inclusion of the person does not serve any purpose behind that of the Bulbagarden Staff profile or the user page, I tend to deem it inappropriate. I see no reason why the community-related pages in the People category cannot simply be moved to a new category: Community People. If a certain page does not even belong to this category (that is, it pertains to the person more than to his contribution to the community), it is a good sign that the content should stay on the user page or in the person's Bulbagarden profile.

::: The community-related pages should always be categorized separately from the canon-related ones. Other than the People category, the [[:Category:Pokémon meta|Pokémon meta]] category includes the pages for the [[Crossover Pokédex Project]] and the [[Deoxys Media Player Project]], both of which have nothing to do with the franchise. The [[Fanon]] page uses examples of Shipping, which should stay in their respective category--a simple explanation of the terminology is more than enough. Community-related pages should preferably not be used to represent Bulbapedia by listing them on the Main Page (this is currently not a problem). There should also be no room for allusions to fanon theories on the canon-related pages, such as the one listed at the bottom of [[Eusine|Eusine's]] page. Finally, the priority of the top-level categories on the Main Page disturbs me greatly. It is not listed in alphabetical order, justifiably so, yet the order does appear to be random. First of all, the games should always be listed before the anime and manga. I would gladly open a debate on the subject, but I feel that you already realize that giving priority to the anime hinders Bulbapedia's status as a true Pokémon encyclopedia, and instead renders the entire project a mere part of Bulbagarden, which is undoubtedly anime-focused. The priority between the anime and manga is up to debate, but I tend to agree that the anime should be listed first for being endorsed by Nintendo. The TCG, though endorsed by Nintendo, should come after the manga for holding a separate share of the franchise. Pokémon, moves, characters, world and meta should follow in the end, as they deal with the ideas introduced in the former categories. This order should be followed in pages relating to the games, anime, manga and TCG (even organized pages, such as [[Lance|this one]], give priority to the anime-related contents by listing the Japanese voice actor in the character's introduction and listing the anime category first). --Unown Lord

:::: It is partially alphabetical, partially priority. [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Main_Page&direction=prev&oldid=4949 Originally], it was the three main bodies of canon in alphabetical order, then two miscellaneous categories. The Pokémon category was later added between those two, because it was neither a body of canon nor a miscellaneous category. Then as we added more and more, it became more and more random looking.
:::: Personally, I will regard Meowth346's offer as his last contribution to a project he had hopes for - such that he still remains one of the [[User:Zhen Lin/Top users|top 20 users]] on Bulbapedia, despite not having contributed in months.
:::: But interesting you picked [[Crossover Pokédex Project|those]] [[Deoxys Media Player Project|two]] as examples. You will note that on [[Talk:Deoxys Media Player Project]], I complained that it had "limited relevance". I have not retracted that statement yet - but the zeitgeist appears to be in favour of keeping it. (Either that, or no one wants to be responsible for clicking that delete button.)
:::: I think, you have highlighted a number of problems that the editorial board is not too pleased with, but we have only ourselves to blame - I may have personally contributed some nearly 2,000 edits, but I no longer edit actively, and neither does the Editor-in-Chief [[User:evkl|evkl]]. I therefore extend my invitation to you, in my capacity as Managing Editor, to join the editorial board. - [[User:Zhen Lin|振霖]][[User talk:Zhen Lin|T]] 12:12, 20 Jul 2005 (UTC)

::::: I appreciate your taking the time to address my points and am flattered by your invitation. What would my joining the editorial board entail? Does the editorial board consist of the entire Bulbagarden staff who have some part in Bulbapedia, or is it just you and evkl at the moment? I am merely looking for a way to take Bulbapedia in a different direction. I suppose that for all this time I have felt that any significant involvement on my part would not be enough to persuade others to turn to the same perspective. I hope that being on the editorial board will change this fact.

:::::: From here on in, seeing as Zhen's on vacation, I think I'll handle most of your queries. Joining the Editorial Board basically means that you take an active role in the executive-level decisions on the 'pedia. Currently, the editorial board is just Zhen and myself with Arcy and Damian sitting in from time to time. We do need new directions taken with the 'pedia, and as Zhen said, neither he nor I take active editing roles--we're more inclined towards the executive decisionmaking as of late.

*Yawns*

As a long time visitor of the beloved Pokemon Forever Site, I often come to this site for one main reason: many Trainers data - battle e, contests, battle frontier etc. Do you mind send me all of the trainer data to me at dajason@gmail.com. Thanks for your time. I am really going to miss your great site for good... I first came here since the one warm summer of the year 2000....

----

I agree with and support Zhen's statement; we would be honored to work PokeFor's volumes of information into Bulbapedia.

----
Well, this has certainly been a surprise and a half.
We'll be sad to see you stop work on your site Meowth, as will I'm sure a great many other people. I can only hope that we live up to the legacy of this inheritance.
I'll contact you after I get home from University tonight regarding this Meowth. If you could arrange for us to have a temp. FTP account to download the PokeFor site with, so that we might store it on a local archive while we transfer its information to 'pedia, that'd be most appreciated.
--[[User:Archaic|Archaic]] 21:48, 19 Jul 2005 (UTC)

: Mm, no FTP access. No access to the original files and databases. People can get what they can from my pages, again as long as the reword it. No copy & pasting directly, please. This isn't a license to plagurize, just an affirmation to use and reword the information while it's still there. Of course, the Wayback Machine and Google, Yahoo, etc. have caches. Oh, and there's no way to contact me unless you e-mail me at my Gmail account. --[[User:Meowth346|Meowth346]] 21:53, 19 Jul 2005 (UTC)

:: Well...that certainly makes things a lot harder. We weren't intending to plagurize, but having the original information saved locally while we re-write it would've helped a great deal, both in giving us a longer of period of time in which to transfer it, and in allowing us to put up a permanent memorial site of PokeFor as it was at the time it closed, seeing as the Wayback Machine won't be able to manage anything that uses a script (your dex for instance). --[[User:Archaic|Archaic]] 22:15, 19 Jul 2005 (UTC)

I think I must greet developer of BULBAPEDIA.

Thank you.

== Partnership proposal ==

Just to let you know, i've proposed partnership with Bulbapedia (similiar to with StrategyWiki, but with differences). You may wish to discus it [http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/showthread.php?t=15151 here], cheers [[User:Minun|''Minun'']] 15:40, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

== Ad ==

There is an ad that has been appearing for several weeks now that reads, "Free Pokémon Battle! Today Only!" First of all, what is Pokémon Battle? Are they using that to refer to [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]] due to limited add space? I doubt it. Also, yes, I said several weeks.

:I honestly don't know. We have no direct control over the ads that appear in the google ads, that all comes just based on what ads they have in their database to put up, and what text we have on the page. If you can (right) click on the ad and get me the URL it goes to, I can take a look. --[[User:Archaic|Archaic]] 12:24, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
