== Real definition for psuedo-legendary ==

Isn't it a BST of 600? [[User:The Placebo Effect|The Placebo Effect]] 13:12, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

== Pseudo-legendary --> Powerhouse ==

It seems to me that everyone who commented on this page, other than Shiny Noctowl, was dumbfounded as to the article's title and definition therein. For pages dealing with fanon terminology, this is a good sign that something has been done '''wrong'''; fanon terms are ''necessarily'' known to a large number of fans, as opposed to a select few, or in this case - no more than one.

Furthemore, the page (prior to my editing it) included mentions of Pokémon with legendary characteristics, despite their having nothing to do with the suggested definiton of pseudo-legendary. It was also a mere copy-and-paste of the corresponding section on the [[Legendary]] page. Now, as for the definition itself, it should be crystal-clear that the powerhouses, as defined by myself, are ''distinct'' in their categorization from any other Pokémon ({{p|Flygon}}, for the sake of discussion). Simply put, they are non-legendary Pokémon whose total base stats is 600, which is a great deal higher than Flygon's 520 (see the trivia paragraph for clarification on {{p|Slaking}}). Besides, what makes Flygon any more special than {{p|Aggron}}, {{p|Walrein}} and the 7 fully-evolved, two-typed starters? All of these match the definition used by Shiny Noctowl. I do hope that competitive usage is not the reason, because {{p|Swampert}} and {{p|Infernape}} clearly outweigh Flygon in that regard.

It amazes me that everyone assumed that the definition was acceptable simply because someone had put it forth. Bulbapedia encourages critical thinking and sets virtually no limits on the users' capacity to edit existing pages. Why was I the only one who had the fortitude to replace the previous definition with one that is actually used by the fandom? --[[User:Unown Lord|Unown Lord]] 16:47, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
:Mudkipchan apparently heard pseudo-legendary on Smogon, and I've heard pseudo-legendary on several websites, so I think it should be moved back. I agree, though, that the definition needed some work. But why remove Flygon? Its stats are slightly lower, but base stats shouldn't be included in the definition. Other than base stats, Flygon is in every way a pseudo-legendary. [[User:Shiny Noctowl|S<big>h</big>i<big>n</big>y]] [[User talk:Shiny Noctowl|<big>N</big>o<big>c</big>t<big>o</big>w<big>l</big>]]  13:57, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

::You can see my comments on the article's name further below. Now, the explanation for my excluding Flygon should be quite obvious from the pieces of trivia; Dragonite, Tyranitar, Salamence, Metagross and Garchomp have more in common than what you listed in your definition, and in fact, they have more in common than just my addition to that definition (a total base stats of 600). Flygon does not share that common denominator; what it does share with the aforementioned five is also shared by ''at the very least'' Walrein and Aggron, who are part of a three-stage line, have two types, require nearly as much experience to reach their form, and have an even higher total of base stats (530). If the only reason for which you included Flygon but excluded those two is that you thought only Flygon was available strictly in its first form, then you thought wrong: In Generation III Sealeo and Walrein are also not available in the wild; in Generation IV both Vibrava and Sealeo are available (incidentally, Lairon is not).

::But all of that is irrelevant, since neither Flygon nor Walrein (nor Aggron, for that matter) has enough in common with the powerhouses/pseudo-legendaries so as to be added to the group. It is enough to require a total base stats of 600 to limit the group to the five relevant ones (a respectable addition in and of itself), but again, their common denominator is even greater than that. Look at the trivia and see it for yourself. --[[User:Unown Lord|Unown Lord]] 13:55, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

I agree with Shiny, Pseudo-Legendary makes more sense. I.E. My Snorlax is a powerhouse, but it isn't a pseudo-legendary. My Flygon is not my powerhouse, yet it is a pseudo-legendary. Catch my drift? [[User:Midnight Celtic|Midnight Celtic]] 15:28, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
:Psudo legendary should be used. But the only pokemon that should meet this criteria are those 3 stage evos with a base stat of 600. Slaking is questionable, but I would say no to it, as well as flygon. [[User:The Placebo Effect|The Placebo Effect]] 01:08, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

absolutly, my old car was nicknamed "the powerhouse" but it was definatly not a pokemon! that being said, "powerhouse" is a general term, it sounds more like a metagame term than a true definition. i could load a powerful pokemon with powerful attacks, and ive got a powerhouse, but a psuedo-legendary means its special in some way, and what you are trying to appeal here is to somone whos never jheard the term before, and they will almost understand what psuedo-legendary just by the sound, where as a powerhouse requires an explanation. '''[[User:MAGNEDETH|MAG]][[User:MAGNEDETH#Interesting Stuff|NE]][[User talk:MAGNEDETH|DETH]]''' 04:00, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
:I agree, powerhouse is too broad a term for these Pokémon. Pseudo-legendary fits the bill better. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]][[User:TTEchidna/GSDS|GSDS!]]''' 05:57, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

::First of all, my ''true'' gripe was with the contents of the article; redirecting the article to a new title was primarily symbolic of the reshifting of its underlying ideas. However, I would like to point out the irony in the statement that powerhouse is too broad a term spanning just about every overused Pokémon - the same can be said of pseudo-legendary, as evidenced by the fact that this article originally contained a separate list of Pokémon with legendary characteristics!

::Furthermore, I personally feel that ''pseudo-legendary'' should be used to describe only two Pokémon that are not even mentioned in the article: {{p|Unown}} and {{p|Phione}}. ''Legendary'' alludes to mystery and nature or universe-controlling abilities; this article deals with battle prowess, for which legendaries are certainly well known, but it takes second place to their aura. Besides, some legendaries are not as battle-competent as the pseudo-legendaries/powerhouses in the article - practically all tweleve members of the legendary trios, and arguably some others. This comparison holds in base stats (the legendary trio all have a total of 580, which is lower than 600), but even an in-depth comparison on a competitive level leads to the same conclusion, at least generally. Therefore, is it justified to attach the name ''pseudo-legendary'' to a definition that highlights the battle prowess of Pokémon that are actually stronger than some legendaries? On the other hand, Unown and Phione are indeed pseudo-legendary if the term is taken to mean a Pokémon whose aura is associated with a true legendary ({{p|Suicune}} in Unown's case and {{p|Manaphy}} in Phione's).

::But I digress, as I do agree that if ''pseudo-legendary'' is more frequently used by the fandom to describe the group in question, then it should be used for the purposes of discussing a fanon term.

::One last thing - I appreciate Politoed666's token of solidarity. I don't mind reversions to my own edits, especially when done by another sysop, but it isn't my idea of showing respect; it would have been better to wait a bit longer in case I had arguments to present. I only wonder why the same level of urgency was not taken to revise the contents of the article in its original format, when it obviously needed re-working. --[[User:Unown Lord|Unown Lord]] 13:55, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

I agree with certain points made by Unown Lord. Perhaps the overall issue with the term "pseudo-legendary" is the usage of "legendary." There are Pokémon that are "legendary" which do have certain exclusive characteristics, and applying the term to another group has its drawbacks. While the term may certain have specific applications to the pseudo-legendary Pokémon it is difficult to draw a completely defined line, contrary to the case with legendary Pokémon. The debate over which Pokémon "qualify" has no feasible ending point, as fans will always stick to their opinion concerning which ones "deserve" to be included. Sure, we have limits on Bulbapedia but in spite of this fact, there is still such an issue, as we can see from this very page. Honestly, I have no problem with the term, despite how vague it is and the supposed difficulty adhering to its guidelines. My wife on the other hand, disagrees with its usage for many of the reasons I mention. [[User:Deviant Audio|Deviant Audio]] 16:01, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

== 600 stat point total a requirement? ==

Doesn't that seem a little subjective? I mean sure they all have that but that doesn't mean a future Pokemon of similar psuedo-legend status will have that total. Plus with these Pokemon it could just be coincidence they all have 600. Having 600 total might have been how it happened for all of them, but I just don't seem it as a ''requirement'' per se. Just that that's how it happened. Toastypk 03:34, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
:Not really. The psuedo-legends were most likely designed so that their stats WOULD total 600. The only likely exception would be Dragonite due to Special Attack/Defence being a single stat in Generation 1, but it was probably reworked to total 600 in Generation 2. It's hardly likely to be coincedence that their base stats all total 600. - [[User:Nebula|Nebula]] 16:54, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

== Available only as their first form. ==

The article states that "Most pseudo-legendaries are obtainable in the wild strictly in their first form. However, Dragonair is also obtainable in the wild in most games where Dratini is (all but Pokémon Red, Green and Blue). Likewise, Pupitar is available in the wild in Crystal. Gabite is found in Victory Road in Platinum."

However, with the addition of Platinum, Gabite can be found in the wild. This means that no, only 2 out of the 5 of them are only found in their first form in the wild. I honestly don't think that something like that should be included in the article, since when was 2 out of 5 "most", or even noteworthy? You could say that all 5 of them have the colour blue on them somewhere, but is that noteworthy?

I'd have already removed it, but the page is protected. [[User:Ggled|Ggled]] 22:09, 8 May 2009 (UTC)

== Base Stat total trivia ==

On all the pseudo legendaries, there is a trivia entry stating that they have the second highest base stat total behind slaking. It then goes on to say how it's tied with the other pseudo legendaries etc etc.
Wouldn't it make more sense to just not have this? I mean there's already a link to the pseudo legendary page (here) at the top of the page, and it explains here that they all have the same base stat total etc. Just seems redundant to me and pointless trivia.

Stated in the characteristics section, it says that Garchomp's evolution line is not next to any notable pokemon.

== Two types really necessary? ==

I'd say the defining feature is the 600 BST. The page, in more than one place, describes the fact that pseudolegendaries have two types as though you couldn't, even in theory, have a pseudolegendary without it, but is that so? Obviously, all the pseudos that currently exist have two types (and we should mention that fact, don't get me wrong), but wouldn't we just adjust our definition if they (hypothetically) introduced a monotype pseudo in the sixth generation? I don't think we should "define" a pseudo as having two types; nor should we list that as one of the reasons Slaking isn't. --[[User:HeroicJay|HeroicJay]] 17:25, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

== Ulgamoth ==

This may be shot down, but SURELY Ulgamoth is a pseudo-legendary. It may lack the Base Stats and Second Evolution, but it's clearly intended to be in the same tier. Its final evolution receives the EV yield of a Third-Stage pokemon, it comes right after Sazandorah, just like how Salamence and Metagross are placed next to each other (Garchomp was separated from legendaries by Evolutions from previous gens). It has significant mythology connected to it, and is obtained in peculiar ways, one of which is fashioned like a Legendary Encounter. It evolves at a ridiculously high level. Hell, the concept itself is that of something that would have a cocoon stage, but missed out on it somehow. The 550 Base Stat is peculiar, but surely can be put down to it having Butterfly Dance, an obscenely powerful move. Pretty much everything points it to being a counterpart with Sazandorah as the two pseudo-legendaries of Generation 5. [[User:N-Denizen|N-Denizen]] 23:30, 9 February 2011 (UTC)

:::I would like to disagree with everyone that opposes Volcarona as a Pseudo-Legendary. Just have a look at nearly every other Bug type that came before it for instance, and you'll notice that ALL tend to have stats below 400 or very rarely reaching 500 or higher. In nearly all games before B/W it was almost like a rule or some sort, or a tradition. Perhaps Volcarona lives up to this tradition even with B/W's upgrade to Bug types. As a Bug type, it would not be able to have as high of stats as other types if it followed this old tradition, so that would explain Volcarona's BST of 550 instead of 600. Another possible explaination is probably just an excuse to make it have a lower BST than Genesect. The big seal to all this is that Alder uses Volcarona as his main Pokemon. Why would it be used as his main if it wasn't a Pseudo-Legendary? Why just have something random instead of a Psuedo-legendary or even a Legendary? It all starts to make sense when you think about it. Volcarona, though having a lower BST than the other Pseudo-Legends, still has the exact same kind of power you'd expect from one due to it's gargantuan stats compared to other Bug types. Even Genesect feels very weak in comparison to Volcarona, as well as giving Tyranitar and Metagross something to fear and respect at the same time. So the point of all of this is, it would seem reasonable to accept Volcarona as a Pseudo-Legend due to past treatment of Bug types in general. Besides, doesn't it seem more like a fan idea to have them required to have a BST of 600 and be a 3 stage line? What if GF has their own requirements to the idea and simply design them as they please? For a Bug type to fill this role, all of this would make alot of sense. Why simply believe a Pseudo-Legend requires those things only because of past tradition from Gen I-IV? Wouldn't it be fair for a Bug type Pseudo-Legend to exist yet still follow the tradition of Bug types having lower Base stats than others? [[User:Shiramu Kuromu|Shiramu Kuromu]] 20:36, 6 August 2011 (UTC)
::::Pseudo-legendary is a fan term, so fans determine the requirements. It is based on a pattern we as fans have detected in each generation? Being "strong" has nothing to do with being pseudo-legendary (other than that pseudo-legendary requires a 600 BST). Champion usage does not make something pseudo-legendary, even if it is their primary Pokémon. Alder doesn't use a legendary Pokémon because they are restricted to battle facility Trainers and storyline events. They did not fit it into their previous pattern. Anything that breaks the mold is not bending the pattern, but rejecting it. What does Volcarona have in common with actual pseudo-legendary Pokémon? If we let Volcarona in, then the definition of pseudo-legendary becomes "has two types, needs 1,250,000 exp to get to level 100". Now, if you look at {{cat|Pokémon in the Slow experience group|this list of Pokémon in that experience group}} and pick out all the dual typed Pokémon, excluding legendary Pokémon, you can see just how many there are. To name a few, {{p|Abomasnow}}, {{p|Aggron}}, {{p|Sharpedo}}, {{p|Lanturn}}. And that is only a few of them. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 11:49, 7 August 2011 (UTC)
:::::Now you're being just biased about all this. Why do they all need BSTs of 600? Can't Volcarona be the exception due to it's Bug typing? Even if Dual typed and Slow exp group were the only requirements now, it would all still be the same, since Volcarona would be the only Pseudo-Legend that doesn't fill the previous 600 BST requirement. All you seem to be trying to do is sticking too much to tradition, because honestly, I thought you'd stick with the 1st to 4th gen's Pseudo-Legend tradition of Attack being the highest stat when it was revealed Hydreigon's highest was Special Attack instead. Due to that, I thought everybody would be biased with even it due to favoring Special Attack instead. Volcarona, when compared to Aggron of Flygon, makes far more sense as a Pseudo-Legendary. Honestly, I think of Pseudo-Legendaries having the highest BST of all non-legendaries out of one of their types. Dragonite, Salamence, Garchomp, and Hydreigon have the highest Base Stat total of all non-legendary Dragon types, Tyranitar has the highest of all Non-legendary Rock types, and the highest for Dark types along with Hydreigon. Metagross has the highest out of all Non-legendary Steel and Psychic types. Volcarona has the highest of all Non-legendary Bug types. It all makes sense when you consider how a Pseudo-Legendary could be designed with that in mind. [[User:Shiramu Kuromu|Shiramu Kuromu]] 21:56, 7 August 2011 (UTC)

Didn't want to start an edit war, so I'm just going to post here to see what others think.

== Slaking ==

I am aware that an argument has already been brought up to add Slaking to the list. I think it should be added, for the following reasons. From what I understand, the definition here of a Pseudo-Legendary is (a) it can't be legendary. (b) It must evolve twice. It is not part of the definition that all of them must be dual typed, nor that they must have an immunity. This is simply a trait that all of the current members of the list happen to share. The third part of the current definition is that all of them must have exactly 600 BST. This is the part I don't understand. I can understand why it would be nice to have a requirement for at least 600, but why does it have to be exact? This brings us to Slaking. It has the highest base stats of any non-legendary. It evolves twice. Why should it be denied the position of being pseudo-legendary for being too powerful? Pseudo-legendary means "resembling a legendary", and legendaries are supposed to be powerful. There are 16 legendaries with a BST over 600, and 11 even higher than Slaking's. In terms of its lack of a second type, 22 out of 47 legendaries are single-typed. Slaking's lack of a second type definitely should not exclude it from being a pseudo-legendary. [[User:Tk3141|Tk3141]] 22:19, 7 March 2012 (UTC)
:''Slaking, though not pseudo-legendary, has the highest base stats of all non-legendary Pokémon and one immunity, to the Ghost-type. However, it lacks some factors: a base-stat total of 600 and a secondary type. Slaking is also hindered by its ability, Truant, which is likely the reason for its high stats. '' From this page. However I would say the biggest reason it is not on here is because Truant truly cripples any astounding power it has. The only time to experience its true full potential is in a double battle with a Pokemon that uses Skill Swap on it so it can attack every turn rather than half the turns.

== So seriously, what's the definition? ==

As I pointed out above (and nearly no one responded), if the sixth gen introduces a non-legendary Pokemon with a 600 BST with only one type will we say that it's not pseudolegendary, or will we just change the definition of what a psuedolegendary is? Why is having two types or a specific level-up curve considered a ''necessary condition'' to being a pseudolegendary rather than just a trait all of the current ones happen to have? Indeed, given that you can completely remove either restriction or both of them and not change the list of pseudolegendary Pokemon ''at all'' (you can't do so with the 600 BST or the fact that they come from evolutionary families), I'd say Occam's Razor would slice away those unnecessary conditions. --[[User:HeroicJay|HeroicJay]] 07:09, 29 May 2012 (UTC)
: PS. I'd like to point out that the opening paragraph used to mention that all pseudos had Attack as their highest stat, though it wisely did not include that as a part of the definition of what makes a pseudo a pseudo. [[Hydreigon|Now it doesn't say that any more.]] Just sayin'. --[[User:HeroicJay|HeroicJay]] 07:26, 29 May 2012 (UTC)
::The pseudolegendaries are variations on a theme. The dual types and stats are part of that theme. Single type would suggest that there's an underlying difference. Experience group makes them hard to raise, suggesting that they're all very similar. Like PP of moves, experience group is an indicator of the similarity of Pokemon. If Nintendo feel the need to make it a lower experience group, that makes it easier to raise, suggesting that there are underlying differences - the Pokemon are not considered equal. Stats like that aren't just a random choice. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 20:01, 29 May 2012 (UTC)
:::I can't say I agree. We can say that the two types and the level-up curve are traits they all have, at present, but how is it part of the definition? If you remove those restrictions, the number of pseudolegendary Pokemon remains six, so those restrictions aren't helping with the definition and just unnecessarily restrict possible future psuedolegendaries. I was asked to provide a source that they're not necessary. Where's the source that they are? I mean, let's say, totally hypothetically, that one made a page called "Pikachu Clones" back in the fourth gen, discussing Pokemon such as Pichu, Plusle, Minun, and Pachirisu. (The usefulness of such a page isn't the point; let's just say that one existed.) At the time, they decided to define the Pokemon as "Cute mono-Electric-type Pokemon that have a resemblence to Pikachu. Aside from Pichu and Pikachu, none of the Pikachu clones evolve." Are you to say that, when the fifth gen came out, this hypothetical page would have been wrong to alter its definition and include Emolga? If so, why? And if not, then why did the definition need to include the "mono-" part of it at all if it's unnecessarily limiting and so easily discarded? --[[User:HeroicJay|HeroicJay]] 20:57, 29 May 2012 (UTC)
::::I personally don't think having two types should be part of the definition; I don't see a pure Dragon-type pseudo legendary Pokemon being that unlikely. I did a quick search, and I couldn't find any other non-forum giving a definition of pseudo-legendary Pokemon, so there is nothing stating either way. However, I would say experience group is just as important as BST. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 12:42, 1 June 2012 (UTC)
:::::No, I still stand against it. I'm being treated like I'm trying to redefine which Pokemon are pseudolegendary, and, yes, I do see that others have tried. But I'm not. Removing these two restrictions does nothing. It's Dragonite, Tyranitar, Salamence, Metagross, Garchomp, and Hydreigon now. It'll be Dragonite, Tyranitar, Salamence, Metagross, Garchomp, and Hydreigon if you remove those restrictions.
:::::Who made the call that they're necessary to the definition? I've been asked to source that they're not. Why must I prove the negative? It's the positive case that requires proof! Should I add a [citation needed] to the definition?
:::::If you were to remove the 600 BST part of the defintion, and still keep everything else, you'd add things like Aggron and Rhyperior to the list, so we can't do that.
:::::The "three-stage evolutionary family" thing comes off to me as a roundabout way of saying "not legendary", but I'm fine with it since legendary status can be arguable (the Legendary page on this very wiki is unsure on Phione, and even though I strongly disagree, I've even seen modern fans try to argue Rotom's legendary status.) And without it, Jirachi and Landorus are brought into the list of "pseudolegendaries", so obviously that restriction is necessary, regardless of the wording.
:::::But why type combos? Why experience groups? Removing them changes what? Is there a 600-BST three-stage mono-type family in the medium-slow group that is clearly not pseudolegendary I'm somehow unfamiliar with? (Well, Slaking has a 6'''7'''0 BST and three stages and is a monotype, though he is in the Slow group, but... Truant is all it takes to convince me he's not a proper pseudolegendary. And he's the closest there is, besides the obvious six!)
:::::As I said, if you were to put on the side (in Trivia or something) that all of them, at present, are dualtypes in the Slow experience group, you wouldn't see me argue - it's true, after all. But to put it in the definition, as if to say "Pokémon without these traits can't be pseudolegendary"... I jusst don't see it. --[[User:HeroicJay|HeroicJay]] 18:31, 1 June 2012 (UTC)
::::::Thing is, pseudo-legendary is the observation of a pattern and nothing more. When they all fit it and it is likely that they will continue fitting a condition, it should be treated as part of the definition.

:::::::Next generation, if we get a Pokemon with a BST of 600 who is at the top of a three-stage evolution family in the medium-slow experience group instead of slow, and it doesn't have any major negative traits like Truant, do you really think the fandom isn't going to call it a pseudo-legendary? Do you honestly believe most of the fandom - who defined the term - even cares about experience curves that much? And can you provide a source on it? --[[User:HeroicJay|HeroicJay]] 22:41, 2 June 2012 (UTC)
::::::::There is no source (BP was the only fansite I could find that actually defined pseudo-legendary outside of "means Dragonite, Tyranitar, Metagross, Garchomp, Hydreigon"), because GF has never officially mentioned the pattern anywhere, but the pattern is obvious enough that the fandom has noticed it. Knowing the fandom—who tried and push Volcarona and Haxorus into being pseudo-legendary—there will certainly be many people who think it should be. However, it won't truly be one. I don't see that ever happening though, as experience group is part of the pattern. Even if something had a BST of 600, three-stage evolutionary family and medium-slow experience group but had Truant, it would still be pseudo-legendary. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 15:18, 5 June 2012 (UTC)
:::::::::Isn't that a contradiction? (Did you get your experience groups confused?)

:::::::::::I would argue that, though it's not a very specific or encyclopedic definition, a pseudo-legendary Pokemon would be a non-legendary Pokemon as strong, stat-wise, as legendaries. By that simple definition, Slaking easily fits the bill... or, rather, he would, except Truant limits his strength. (Well, Regigigas is similarly hindered, but all the same...) Now that said, all pseudos that exist have 600; there's no argument here and it works to say it. But the rest of it is redundant, adds nothing to the definition, and is something we'll just have to retcon away the moment GameFreak decides to contradict it.

And under Garchomp's section:

:"It '''compliments''' these attributes with '''it's''' Ground typing,"

I quote from the AP Stylebook 2012, page 301 of the punctuation guide, under the entry on hyphens: ''"COMPOUND MODIFIERS: When a compound modifier — two or more words that express as single concept — precedes a noun, use hyphens to link all the words in the compound except the adverb very and all adverbs that end in -ly."''

In general, pseudo-legendary Pokémon have Attack as their highest stat. This is not the case with Hydreigon and Goodra, which have Special Attack and Special Defense as their highest stats, respectively."
:::5. (3.2.1 Dragonite) The last sentence should be removed, what with the very affectionate, and might I add adorable, Goodra.

I got a doubt, does three stage evolution really matters, because many pokemon like heracross has a base stat of 600 and is a dual Bug/Fighting type. Its signature move Megahorn is the most powerful bug type move, and it's movepool contains some powerful moves like Earthquack and Focuspunch with its base stat comes par with legendary pokemon and even has 4x damage on celebi. [[User:Tgage|Tgage]] ([[User talk:Tgage|talk]]) 12:59, 27 April 2014 (UTC)

== Base Stat Averages ==

As far as I'm concerned, the current base stat averages for this page are outdated. They do not take Goodra's stats into account, only averaging the Base stats of all pseudo-legendaries up to Hydreigon.

== Edit request for definition of "pseudo-legendary" ==

"'''Pseudo-legendary Pokémon''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|擬似伝説|ぎじでんせつ}}''' ''pseudo-legendary'') is a fan term commonly used to refer to any Pokémon that has a three-stage [[evolution]] line, [[Experience#Slow|1,250,000 experience at level 100]], and a [[base stats|base stat]] total of exactly {{cat|Pokémon with a base stat total of 600|600}}. The term originates from the prefix ''pseudo-'', which means "false". Pseudo-legendary Pokémon are often more powerful than many other non-[[Legendary Pokémon]] due to their high base stats.

Other variations of the definition omit the need to have 1,250,000 experience at level 100."

should become

"'''Pseudo-legendary Pokémon''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|擬似伝説|ぎじでんせつ}}''' ''pseudo-legendary'') is a fan term commonly used to refer to any [[Pokémon (species)|Pokémon]] that is not in the [[Undiscovered (Egg Group)|Undiscovered Egg Group]] and has a [[base stats|base stat]] total of exactly {{cat|Pokémon with a base stat total of 600|600}}. Currently, all pseudo-legendary Pokémon have exactly two [[evolution|pre-evolutions]] which can only evolve by leveling up past a certain [[level]] and [[Experience#Slow|1,250,000 experience at level 100]]. The term originates from the prefix ''pseudo-'', which means "false". Pseudo-legendary Pokémon are often more powerful than many other non-[[Legendary Pokémon]] due to their high base stats."

The BST of 600 matters because anything less would make it less "legendary". Legendary Pokemon are set apart by their lack of evolutionary relatives, inability to breed, and high stats. As long as a Pokemon meets the latter requirement and not the former two, wouldn't it make sense for it to be a pseudo-legendary Pokemon?

:It's fine as it is.
:No, it's not okay for it to only have "high stats". Psuedo-legendaries were ''originally'' (strong) Pokemon who came between ''legitimate'' Legendary Pokemon in the Pokedex but were not Legendaries themselves. The definition of "psuedo-legendary" is molded to conform to the strong pattern that those Pokemon showed: three stages, BST 600, slow experience.

== New Evidence! ==

I play Pokemon Black 2. I noted that whenever I send out a Legendary that lands on the ground (like the 3 musketeers and Zekrom), there is a shimmer effect after they land. This seems to show that this Pokemon is a legendary. However, there are other Pokemon who have this shimmer effect as they land, too.

Examples include Tyranitar, Crustle, Arcanine, Onix, Steelix, Dragonite, Graveler, Golem, Milotic, Emboar, Metagross, Beartic, and Mamoswine.

Could these Pokemon and others in fact have a classification as "Legendary"? Are they just some of the strongest Pokemon, or are they all just heavy? {{unsigned|Reshiespeon}}

== "For one reason or another..." ==

In the Trivia section at the bottom of the page, five pokemon commonly mistaken for pseudo-legendaries are listed, followed by the sentence "For one reason or another, these Pokémon do not fit the criteria of those above and so are not pseudo-legendary Pokémon."

While this is correct, it would perhaps be more helpful to mention that it is because none of them have a base stat total of 600. It could also, perhaps, be mentioned that Slaking has a higher base stat total than 600, but the criteria require exactly 600 (and perhaps also mention Truant as rationale for not including Slaking anyway--but that's probably too in-depth for a trivia section).

To clarify, I am suggesting, at least, changing "For one reason or another, these Pokémon do not fit the criteria of those above and so are not pseudo-legendary Pokémon." to "None of these Pokémon have the requisite base stat total of 600 to be considered pseudo-legendary." [[User:Xolroc|Xolroc]] ([[User talk:Xolroc|talk]]) 18:09, 18 December 2016 (UTC)

== Requirements to be a pseudo-legendary ==

I am not sure where, exactly, the definition of pseudo-legendary came from, but it strikes me that two of the three criteria given to class a Pokémon as pseudo-legendary are redundant: the pseudo-legendaries are exactly those Pokémon which are not actually legendary or mega-evolutions and have a base stat total of six hundred. No Pokémon besides the eight listed pseudo-legendaries meets this criterion, and so the requirement of a three-stage evolution line and 1250000 experience at level 100 seem redundant to me. I don't know if these redundant criteria should be removed and simply mentioned as common traits all current ones share, or if there is some good reason to keep them.

Note also that the requirements given already, without specifying that mega evolutions don't count as pseudo-legendaries, would make Mega Alakazam and Mega Gengar be pseudo-legendaries. Alternatively, if mega evolution counts as an evolution stage for the "has a three-stage evolution line" requirement, Mega Scizor and Mega Houndour count as pseudo-legendaries. At the very least, "is not a mega evolution" should be added to the criteria.

==About Salamence and Hydreigon==
Should we list that J has a Salamence, and that Cameron has a Hydreigon? Crum Mum 01:48, 22 December 2016 (UTC)

== ''The term originates from the prefix pseudo-, which means "false".'' ==

Why does the lead of this article go out of its way to explain a common English word? I mean, I know Pokemon is targeted at children, and young children may not be familiar with ''pseudo-'', but isn't its meaning obvious from context anyway?

I think it would be best to just remove this sentence, but if not then it should be combined with the following sentence to read something like

''The term combines the prefix ''pseudo-'', which means "false", with ''[[Legendary Pokémon]]'', due to their being more powerful than most other non-Legendary Pokémon and therefore being considered closer to Legendary Pokémon.''

This would eliminate the inaccurate use of "originate" to give the actual etymology. The term doesn't originate from the prefix ''pseudo-''; it originates as a combination of ''pseudo-'' with ''Legendary Pokémon'', <del>and the use of a Japanese term in the first sentence implies it actually originates as a translation from Japanese</del>. (If anyone wants to know why I'm being so pedantic about the meanings of words, it's because I can't edit the page directly and need to be extremely specific about my thinking so that if someone proxies for me they know exactly what they are doing.)

I was thinking that we should add a trivia point about Metagross and Goodra, specifically they're the only two pseudos that don't have a 4x weakness (Dragonite, Salamence and Garchamp have 4x weakness to Ice, Hydreigon and Kommo-o to Fairy, and Tyranitar to Fighting).

::: I personally saw that the claim ''Goodra and Kommo-o are the only pseudo-legendary Pokémon that do not always have a type immunity'' was implying that they did not '''always''' have a type immunity which I interpreted as Kommo-o not 'always' having a type immunity meant that in some scenarios it has the potential to '''have''' a type immunity but only in certain scenarios.
:::I would like to say that my understanding of a type-immunity meant an immunity to the elemental typing of attacks(e.g. fire, water) rather than immunity to certain FORM of attacks (e.g. soundbased, ball/bomb based) which Kommo-o CAN have via Bulletproof/Soundproof.
:::I know Goodra doesn't always have one due to being entirely dependant on the ability Sap Sipper which it doesn't always have but I saw it as with the case of Kommo-o, its Dragon/Fighting typing doesn't grant it any immunities under any circumstances which I thought that the sentence was telling me.
::: So basically I was confused as I believed that the sentence meant that Kommo-o not always having a type immunity meaning that only in some situations does a Kommo-o have the potential to have a type immunity.

== Dragapult ==

I know the staff are likely incredibly busy and this isn't top priority at the moment, however, with all the Pokemon's stats and data out, I believe it is well established by now that Dragapult is the Generation VIII pseudo-legendary. Based on all the data surrounding it, everything lines up:

- Dragapult's BST is 600

- It is part of a three-stage evolutionary line

- The entire line has a catch rate of 45 (Dreepy, Drakloak, and Dragapult all have a catch rate of 45)

- It is in the Slow EXP group

- It requires 40 egg cycles to hatch a Dreepy

Just bringing this up for staff to assess. I won't push anyone to get this updated immediately, but bringing this up and if anyone in the staff has objections based on assessment, feel free to discuss them.

*Goodra: Unlike the other pseudo-legendary Pokémon, Goodra is <s>mainly defensive</s> '''more defensive-oriented'''. '''This can be reflected on its stats (with its Special Defense being much higher than its Attack and Special Attack, which are somewhat similar), as well as its Abilities, all of which have some sort of defensive utility.''' <s>Its Attack and Special Attack are very similar.</s> '''However, it focuses slightly more on Special Attack and has a more versatile selection of special attacks'''. <s>It has the lowest base Attack of all the pseudo-legendary Pokémon.</s> (move this fact to a bullet point)

'''Its offensive stats almost mirror those of Goodra, with somewhat similar Attack and Special Attack, though it focuses slightly more on Attack and has a more versatile selection of physical attacks.'''

*Dragapult: '''Dragapult, much like Salamence, has a higher focus on attacking prowess, though it sacrifices physical Attack and overall bulk for significantly higher Speed. This makes it more of a glass cannon compared to the other pseudo-legendary Pokémon.'''

Eventually we'll need to shift to something pretty different from what's already here, and I think it's worth starting the conversation now.

== A few things worth adding ==

It says that Garchomp and Kommo-o are the only pseudo lines not to have a base friendship of 35. As of Generation VIII, this is no longer true, as Dragapult and its evolutionary relatives have the normal base friendship of 50, and thus joins Garchomp and Kommo-o in this regard.

Next, there likely needs to be a brief one-liner for Dragapult describing its stat build like with the other pseudo-legendaries. Something like "Dragapult is unique in that it trades out on bulk to instead focus on being fast and offensive, having extremely high Speed, as well as good Attack and Special Attack". Something to describe its stats like has been done for previous pseudo-legendaries, namely in that it's extremely fast but is also less defensive than other pseudo-legendaries, if anyone thinks they can articulate that better that would be useful as well.

And as for the Trainer/users section, Goodra is used by Raihan in the Champion Cup matches as well as the Galarian Star Tournament. Kommo-o is also used by Mustard in his final match as well as in subsequent rematches and the Galarian Star Tournament.[[User:ScraftyIsTheBest|ScraftyIsTheBest]] ([[User talk:ScraftyIsTheBest|talk]]) 01:44, 6 June 2021 (UTC)

== Archaludon ==

So GameFreak broke a pattern, as they are wont to do, and as a result for the first time ever we have a Pokémon in which there are legitimate debates as to whether or not it is a pseudo-legendary. Archaludon has all of the traits typically associated with pseudo-legendaries besides being three-stage, so there's now debate as to whether that aspect is enough to qualify something as pseudo-legendary. As pseudo-legendary is a fan term, I don't think this article should express a strong stance on whether or not Archaludon counts as one; it should instead express its disputed status and the arguments for and against. [[User:Biblical Bambi|Biblical Bambi]] ([[User talk:Biblical Bambi|talk]]) 00:40, 17 December 2023 (UTC)
:The lede for this article lists three criteria for being a pseudo-legendary:
:* Base Stat Total of 600,
:* Part of a three-stage evolutionary line, and
:* Part of the Slow experience group
:As Archaludon only fits one of these, what would be the arguments for including it on this list? -[[User:Minibug|Minibug]] ([[User talk:Minibug|talk]]) 00:54, 17 December 2023 (UTC)
::We already mentioned Archaludon on the trivia section as "Pokémon that fans think are pseudos but not really" (with other pseudo-pseudos like Flygon and Haxorus).

:::The 600 BST is probably the most important part. The whole point of the term "pseudo-legendary" was in reference to the high BST that was otherwise restricted to legendaries. Also, nobody argues that Haxorus or Flygon are considered pseudos while there are many who consider Archaludon to be one. [[User:Biblical Bambi|Biblical Bambi]] ([[User talk:Biblical Bambi|talk]]) 04:07, 17 December 2023 (UTC)
::::The original term is japanese, and the japanese pokémon comunity, is currently considering Archaludon a pesudo-legendary, as you can check here (https://wiki.xn--rckteqa2e.com/wiki/600%E6%97%8F); (https://dic.pixiv.net/a/600%E6%97%8F); (https://appmedia.jp/pokemon_sv/76221415), the main reason for this is that the only strong criteria for the group is the 600 bst, the other 2 are just common things, and the japanese comunity only focus in the main criteria i belive. 19:33, 18 December 2023 (UTC)
:::::I also think this page could need some work in that regard. Older versions of this page have mentioned that things like the Slow Exp group aren't always included in all definitions of pseudo-legendaries. As it stands now things like ''Pseudo-legendary Pokémon (Japanese: 600族 600 club)'' would have to be changed if the policy is to abide to the strict definition given here as it would mean a break with the Japanese definition. [[User:Petrichor|Petrichor]] ([[User talk:Petrichor|talk]]) 10:44, 23 December 2023 (UTC)
::::::Japanese fanon isn't inherently more correct than English fanon. The only official acknowledgement uses a phrase translated as "late bloomers," which alludes to the shared attributes other than BST. Archaludon is only the second stage in its family, levels up at a medium fast rate, and is evolved through the use of an item; it is not a "late bloomer" in either the colloquial or archetypal interpretation of the phrase. --[[User:Apopheniac|Apopheniac]] ([[User talk:Apopheniac|talk]]) 16:33, 23 December 2023 (UTC)
::::::I agree. My main point was mainly to highlight that the definition of pseudo-legendary isn't as clear-cut as some people above made it out to be, given that it started as a fan term (but the grouping has been acknowledged by TPC as you said). This page also had a bunch of other requirements listed in the past that had to be removed when they no longer were true. I would prefer if the page better reflected that the definition of pseudo-legendary isn't as set in stone as the page makes it out to be. There are plenty of English speakers who also only consider the BST requirement and it is weird of Bulbapedia to try to take ownership of the term as it stands. But regardless, if the three requirements will stand absolute in this article then it is objectively wrong to put ''Pseudo-legendary Pokémon (Japanese: 600族 600 club)'' at the start of the title since those two are no longer interchangeable.

== Individual characteristics ==

This page currently has two trivia sections: One named "Trivia" in the usual place, and one named "Individual characteristics" near the top of the page which covers all of the Pokémon-specific trivia. I think there are two reasonable approaches to dealing with this duplication:
#Just move all of the trivia to the Trivia section.
#Delete the Pokémon-specific trivia from this page, and cover that on the Pokémon's own pages instead.
The first option does result in the Trivia section on this page becoming very large, but it's just reflecting the reality of the state of the page (that it's substantially composed of trivia). That option is also my preference, however. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 09:13, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
:There has been a general shift towards trying to move trivia up in to the body of articles where possible, and there are definitely cases where I think this is good and appropriate.

It's still trivia even by another name, except now it's just taking up space in the body of the article instead of being situated out of the way at the bottom. So yeah, I agree that moving it back down to the Trivia section would likely be more ideal, perhaps keeping it as an "Individual characteristics" subsection to keep the Trivia at least somewhat organized.

== Move to "Powerhouse Pokémon" ==

Uh oh, it's that time again, fellow first partners!

The header for the [https://sv-news.pokemon.co.jp/en/page/235.html upcoming psuedo-legendary Mass Outbreak event] refers to the event as "Challenge '''Powerhouse Pokémon'''!". The [https://sv-news.pokemon.co.jp/ja/page/235.html Japanese equivalent] of the term is '''強力なポケモンたち''' (''Powerful Pokémon''). Previous uses include [https://twitter.com/Pokemon/status/1773032243633532993?t=Ag-AmpOKmgpvBnCTXFWd8g&s=19 two] [https://twitter.com/Pokemon/status/1798043074683437474?t=64WZ1tFxNH2-Yr-S6P5sDA&s=19 tweets] and the "[https://www.pokemoncenter.com/search/powerhouse Powerhouse Pokémon]" merch line.

A potential counter argument is that the term is too broad and has been used in the past to refer to non-psuedos - see [https://unite.pokemon.com/en-us/news/mamoswine-mashes-its-way-into-pokemon-unite/ this UNITE blog post] on Mamoswine that uses the term, for example. However, I think there's a case to make that as a recent term, it makes sense that there's unrelated uses of it before it started being used for psuedo-legendaries, just as there are certainly uses of "partner" prior to the modern definition of that term. Would love to see some discussion on this :) [[User:Meeper12346|Meeper12346]] ([[User talk:Meeper12346|talk]]) 05:21, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
:I don't think it's a good idea, personally. "Pseudolegendary" is the most well-known term for the group and the one people use, while "Powerhouse Pokémon" in return sounds too broad. You could call a Scizor a powerhouse Pokémon, if you so desired, but it's not a pseudo. At least with first partner Pokémon, you couldn't really make the argument that the term is too vague, y'know?
:[[User:Buwbasaur|Buwbasaur]] ([[User talk:Buwbasaur|talk]])
::Personally, I've always thought "pseudo-legendary" is an awful term, it doesn't really hint at any of the traits that define the group but instead implies a connection to Legendary Pokémon that doesn't really exist. At best it hints that they're powerful like a lot of Legendaries are, but "powerhouse Pokémon" gets that across much more obviously and without relying on the term "Legendary", which doesn't really mean "powerful" given the existence of Pokémon like Cosmog. I doubt you'd be able to guess which Pokémon "pseudo-legendary" refers to if you didn't already know. We should probably wait for at least a couple more official sources to use the term "powerhouse Pokémon" so we can be sure it's intended as an official name for the group, but once we are sure, I'd be down to rename the page. [[User:Hewer|Hewer]] ([[User talk:Hewer|talk]]) 14:39, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
:::I can't see how 'powerhouse Pokemon' is any less vague than 'pseudo-legendary'. Yes, there are pseudos or even normal Pokemon with greater competitive play than some legendaries, but the general idea of a legendary in most people's mind is stuff like Mewtwo, Dialga, whatever: incredibly strong Pokémon with an air of mystique surrounding them. The existence of Magikarp isn't gonna cancel out Gyarados. 'Powerhouse' basically just means 'strong', so it's infinitely more useless.
:::There's also the plain issue of colloquial confusion. The people who know they're sorted in a group already call them pseudolegendaries, so they're gonna refer to them as such. A sudden change to powerhouse Pokémon will just be bizarre.
:::[[User:Buwbasaur|Buwbasaur]] ([[User talk:Buwbasaur|talk]])
::::Not sure I follow this argument - you suggest that "pseudo-legendary" would be taken to mean "strong", then say that "powerhouse" is useless because it just means "strong". Even if "powerhouse" doesn't narrow it down much more than "pseudo-legendary", no name defines exactly what's in the group all by itself unless we're gonna start calling them "600-base-stat-total-three-stage-evolution Pokémon", so no term we use will be totally free of ambiguity. "Powerhouse" I find to be much better in that regard than "pseudo-legendary", which is supposed to get across the same thing (that they're powerful) but does so in a much more long-winded and misleading way by implying that Legendaries are relevant to the group. "Legendary" is generally more of a lore term that refers to a very diverse grouping of Pokémon with little in common besides being special and important to some degree, very much unlike "pseudo-legendary", a grouping based on very specific criteria that thus has much more similarity between each member. The two groups have nothing connecting them, contrary to what the "pseudo-legendary" name would have you believe. [[User:Hewer|Hewer]] ([[User talk:Hewer|talk]]) 10:45, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
::::: Pseudo-legendary is not as broad as Powerhouse because it is a specific term. Powerhouse JUST means 'strong'. It is not a specific term that applies to a specific group. Anyone can use 'powerhouse' to refer to any strong Pokemon. Nobody is gonna call Heracross a pseudolegendary, though.
::::: Regardless, though, this shouldn't be purely a contest of 'which one is better'. People are much more familiar with the term pseudo-legendary, if they know it refers to a group at all. The term has a more common usage and predates 'powerhouse' in reference to the group by a wide margin, so I think grandfather clause should ultimately trump official word for both clarity and to avoid confusion.

:::::: Yeah, but the term "powerhouse" can be referred to any dominant Pokémon. Like, if a Mon starts sweeping the other team though boosted stats, moves, or anything similar, they can be considered a "powerhouse" simply because of their threat level. Pseudo-legendaries refer to Pokémon that are somewhat rare and not common to find, game-wise and anime lore-wise. I think that's why the term Pseudo-legendaries works better. Because it makes those Pokémon who are already rare and difficult to find/see even more special. It does make sense. Like, game-wise and anime lore-wise, you see people walking around with Pokémon like Bidoof, Roselia, or even some fully-evolved ones like Infernape and Blastoise. But you don't see people in both settings walking around a big-a** Dragonite around. Or a Salamence that's big enough someone can ride on their back.

:::::::I don't think I agree with this, the pseudo-legendaries don't really get much special treatment distinct from other Pokémon in official stuff (the fact it took until now to even have a solid contender for an official name for the group demonstrates that). The thing that defines the group is nothing to do with how rare they are (I'd argue they're probably not that much rarer than a lot of regular Pokémon), the main thing that connects them is their strength, which is something that "powerhouse" gets across nicely. The thing that Legendaries have in common isn't that they're powerful, it's that they're in some way special, usually from a lore perspective. If I wasn't already familiar with the term "pseudo-legendary", I'd probably sooner think it referred to something like Rotom, Gimmighoul, Ultra Beasts, Paradox Pokémon, etc., Pokémon that are also sometimes treated as special and distinct, not just this group of standard Pokémon that happen to be among the strongest (again, [[Cosmog (Pokémon)|not all Legendaries are strong]]).

In fact, the usage of the term "Powerhouse Pokémon" to describe the pre-evolved forms is extremely strange because they are not actually very powerful, which matches more with the Japanese just calling them "Pokémon that become stronger as they grow". [[User:Minibug|Minibug]] ([[User talk:Minibug|talk]]) 09:11, 20 August 2024 (UTC)
:::::Something being a powerhouse implies that it, well, houses a lot of power. The term actually fits the pre-evolved forms perfectly because they do, in fact, house great power within them, and that power comes out as they evolve. [[User:SlyCooperFan1|SlyCooperFan1]] ([[User talk:SlyCooperFan1|talk]]) 02:36, 23 August 2024 (UTC)
::::::I think you are reading into the word Powerhouse too metaphorically. I've never heard it used in a way that means "has great power within (something) that comes out over time". I don't see any dictionaries that it define it in this way, either. [[User:Minibug|Minibug]] ([[User talk:Minibug|talk]]) 08:57, 23 August 2024 (UTC)

: Mmmm, disagree. The reason being is that the two terms are different things: pseudo-legendary is a strict fan-definition, so strict that Archaludon isn't included in the western definition whereas it is in the Japanese one. However, powerhouse seems to refers to anything in the line. It's not like the starter case where they were the same thing under a different term. There's enough differences between them that I feel this article should still exist in some form, while an article on the official term is made. Otherwise, it'd have to be heavily rewritten.

'''Wally''' (Japanese: '''ミツル''' ''Mitsuru'') is one of the two [[rival]] characters in Pokémon {{v2|Ruby and Sapphire|s}} and Pokémon {{v2|Emerald}}, the other being {{ga|Brendan}}/{{ga|May}}. He is the first rival not to be the player's first {{pkmn|battle}}, and the first rival not to have a [[starter Pokémon]].

Wally is a young, sickly boy who just moved to [[Petalburg City]]. Despite his illness, his dream is to train {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

His illness is never explained, but his symptoms appear to clear up in clean air, so it may be {{wp|asthma}}.

==In the games==
===Role===
Wally was a sick young boy who asked [[Norman]], the Petalburg [[Gym Leader]], to help him catch a Pokémon before he moves to [[Verdanturf Town]] to live with his aunt and uncle.

[[Norman]] allowed his child, the {{player}} of {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} to assist Wally, and loaned Wally a {{p|Zigzagoon}}.

Using this, Wally was able to capture a {{p|Ralts}}. This is the catching tutorial of Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald. Ironically, it is the player who is teaching Wally to catch Pokémon.

Wally shows up again later in [[Mauville City]], pleading with his uncle to let him challenge [[Wattson]]. He battles the player to prove his strength, but loses. He decides his uncle is right but says he will train to get stronger.

Wally eventually runs away from home and challenges the player at the end of {{ho|Victory Road}} in [[Ever Grande City]], seemingly totally recovered from his illness. He remains there, and it is possible to fight him several times per day.

==Trivia==
* Though he is never classified as a "rival" in the games themselves, Wally essentially takes the place of {{ga|Brendan}}/{{ga|May}} as the player's rival after he/she decides to help with [[Professor Birch]]'s studies rather than be a competitive Trainer.
* He shares the same Chinese name with {{ga|Dawn}}.
* Wally is the only [[rival]] character to not have a Pokémon received from the professor of that region in the games, not counting {{ga|Silver}}, who stole his.
* In [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire]], Wally [[Pokémon battle|challenges]] the player near the exit of Victory Road. However in [[Pokemon Emerald|Emerald]] he is met after crossing the first bridge.
* It is possible for the capture tutorial to end with Ralts [[fainting]]. This can only happen if Zigzagoon is generated with 11 Attack, the wild Ralts has a [[nature]] that lowers Defense, an [[Individual values|IV]] of 3 or less in HP, and 5 or less in Defense. With all this, Zigzagoon can do a maximum of 10 damage with its first [[Tackle]], and after [[Growl]] is used on it, 7 with its second. This makes for a total of 17 damage, just enough to knock out Ralts. However, the game continues on as if it had been caught.

==Trivia==
* Though he is never classified as a "rival" in the games themselves, Wally essentially takes the place of {{ga|Brendan}}/{{ga|May}} as the player's rival after he/she decides to help with [[Professor Birch]]'s studies rather than be a competitive Trainer.
* He shares the same Chinese name with {{ga|Dawn}}.
* Wally is the only [[rival]] character to not have a Pokémon received from the professor of that region in the games, not counting {{ga|Silver}}, who stole his.
* In [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire]], Wally [[Pokémon battle|challenges]] the player near the exit of Victory Road. However in [[Pokemon Emerald|Emerald]] he is met after crossing the first bridge.
* It is possible for the capture tutorial to end with Ralts [[fainting]]. This can only happen if Zigzagoon is generated with 11 Attack, the wild Ralts has a [[nature]] that lowers Defense, an [[Individual values|IV]] of 3 or less in HP, and 5 or less in Defense. With all this, Zigzagoon can do a maximum of 10 damage with its first [[Tackle]], and after [[Growl]] is used on it, 7 with its second. This makes for a total of 17 damage, just enough to knock out Ralts. However, the game continues on as if it had been caught.

== Twin Roadblock? ==

The [[Twins]] in front of the [[Daycare]] will not let you through if you currently only have one Pokemon with you. Does this occur elsewhere, or does this happen with other double battles? And if either is the case, is this useful information/a notable Trivia?
* If it doesn't happen elsewhere, it might be of note. Also for it subsequently being able to get the game into a situation where progress cannot be made except by trading: if the player runs out of balls and money, and releases Pokémon until they have only one left, they can't advance unless they make a trade to get an item/ball which can be sold or used. [[User:System Error|System Error]] 09:09, 26 February 2012 (UTC)

== Ace Trainer Yuki ==

I have walked & surfed over every inch of this route, and I can't find an Ace Trainer Yuki anywhere, nor can I find any reference to him in this area in any of the walkthroughs on GameFAQs. Does he actually exist? —[[User:Minimiscience|Minimiscience]] 07:01, 12 March 2011 (UTC)
:Seeing as Yuki has the same team as Ace Trainer Jordan of [[Twist Mountain]], it seems likely that Yuki=Jordan and his team was placed on this page by mistake. Should it be removed? —[[User:Minimiscience|Minimiscience]] 23:09, 11 April 2011 (UTC)

Time Capsule

2011-11-28T23:40:35Z

System Error: Because this is an overdue piece of wickedness.

[[File:Gold Silver Ethan Time Capsule.png|thumb|right|{{ga|Ethan}} approaches the Time Capsule]]
The '''Time Capsule''' is a part of [[Generation II]] [[Pokémon Center]]s where players can [[trade]] with their [[Generation I]] games.

In {{3v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, the Time Capsule is located on the second floor of each Pokémon Center. However, in the early part of the game, it is under repair, and thus unavailable until the player has met [[Bill]] in [[Ecruteak City]].

After this point, it is possible to trade with the Generation I games; however, there are still some requirements:
* The player cannot have any {{cat|Generation II Pokémon}} or {{pkmn|egg}}s in their [[party]].
* None of the Generation I Pokémon that are in the party can know any {{cat|Generation II moves|moves introduced in Generation II}}.

When linked up to a Generation I game, the trade will happen as it did in Generation I, and the Generation II game will act as if it is a Generation I game.

Due to the restriction on later-generation moves when trading back to Generation I, the [[Move Deleter]] was also introduced in [[Generation II]] so that {{cat|Generation I Pokémon}} that had learned newer moves could be traded back. The Move Deleter carried on into [[Generation III]], [[Generation IV|IV]], and [[Generation V|V]], even though trades with previous generations were not supported. However, it still had use for forgetting HM moves.

The Time Capsule's feature that prevents Generation II Pokémon from entering can be bypassed with the [[Johto guard glitch]], though Generation II Pokémon brought in in this way must still only know Generation I moves. When traded to a Generation I game, they will become [[glitch Pokémon]]. The four Pokémon that evolve by trade in Generation I - {{p|Haunter}}, {{p|Kadabra}}, {{p|Machoke}}, and {{p|Graveler}}, if traded from a Generation I game to a Generation II game at the correct level, will learn a Generation II move after evolving, thus enabling them to be traded back to Generation I immediately and allowing access to [[glitch moves]] in the Generation I game.

The Generation IV counterpart to the Time Capsule, which allows Pokémon from Generation III to be transferred ahead, is [[Pal Park]]; however, these are not trades, but instead, permanent transfers from Generation III to IV. Also, [[Generation V]] introduces the [[Poké Transfer]], which does the same thing, except this time it transfers Generation IV Pokémon to Generation V.

==Trivia==
* In Generation II, when the player goes to battle [[Red (Game)|Red]] on [[Mt. Silver]], his dialogue may be slightly modified depending on whether or not the Time Capsule has been used. If it has not, there will be only one ellipsis. However, if it has been used, four will be present.

Pokéwalker

2010-04-04T04:55:10Z

System Error: /* Trivia */ Don't know if this better fits here, or in the main section.

[[File:Pokewalker.png|thumb|200px|The Pokéwalker]]

The '''Pokéwalker''' (Japanese: '''ポケウォーカー''' ''Pokéwalker'') is a {{wp|pedometer}} device bundled with {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} that can interact with the games in various manners.

Much as HeartGold and SoulSilver are remakes of the original {{2v2|Gold|Silver}}, the Pokéwalker could be considered to be somewhat of a remake of the [[Pokémon Pikachu 2]], which interacted in much the same way with the [[Generation II]] games. Unlike the Pokémon Pikachu 2, however, Pikachu is not the only Pokémon that can be interacted with, and Pokémon can actually be transferred to ''and'' from the Pokéwalker at any given point in time.

Like the [[Pokémon Pikachu]] and its successor, the Pokéwalker uses a currency known as "watts" (shortened to ''w''), which are obtained as the {{player}} walks with the device. Every 20 steps will earn the player one watt.

Alongside the [[Johto Safari Zone]], the Pokéwalker allows for Pokémon normally unavailable until after the player has traveled to [[Kanto]], such as {{p|Murkrow}}, to be available before defeating the Elite Four.

==Technical specs==
[[Image:Pokewalker artwork.png|thumb|300px|Artwork and features of the Pokéwalker]]
The Pokéwalker is a small device, 4.8 centimeters (1.9 inches) in diameter and 13.9 millimeters (0.5 inches) thick, weighing in at only 21 grams (0.75 ounces). It is portable, with an optional belt clip included with the system; a plain backing is installed out of the package and must be replaced using a Phillips-head screwdriver.

==Gameplay==
Pokéwalker gameplay boils down to simply walking around with the device so as to charge up watts, then utilizing the watts to purchase use of the [[Poké Radar]] and [[Dowsing MCHN]]. Up to three caught Pokémon and up to three found items may be stored at once: any more than that, and the player will have to decide which to get rid of. The step counter resets at midnight each day. The Pokéwalker's clock is synchronized with the game's clock every time the Pokéwalker connects to the game. Although the clock can be veiwed on the Pokéwalker under the "Trainer Card" menu option, it can not be directly altered on the Pokéwalker device. The Pokéwalker's clock is set in military time and can not be changed to 12-hour style.

From time to time, typically during the Pokéwalker's hibernation, the Pokémon stored in the Pokéwalker may react to something, displaying a face, a musical note, a heart, or an exclamation mark above the background of the route it's taking a stroll on. When that happens, the player must press the center button. Upon doing so, the player will receive either 10 watts (if it is a face), 20 watts (if it is a musical note), 50 watts (if it is a heart), or a random item from that route (if it is an exclamation mark). If there is no Pokémon stored in the Pokéwalker, the player might see a similar notice on the screen. If the middle button is pressed, a wild Pokémon might befriend the Trainer, which means it is instantly captured.

===Poké Radar===
[[File:Pokewalker battling.png|thumb|left|150px|The battle screen]]
Each time the Poké Radar is used will cost the player 10 watts, and brings them to a screen containing four patches of grass. After a short period of time, an exclamation mark will appear above one of the patches. The player must then use the side buttons to align the arrow with that bush and push the center button to look in that bush before time expires. If the player successfully selects the bush with the exclamation mark, either a battle will begin or after a short random period of time an exclamation mark will appear above a bush again. Again the player must select the bush at which time either battle will begin or after a short random period of time two exclamation marks will appear above a random bush. If battle does not begin this time, finally three exclamation points will appear above one of the bushes. Successfully selecting that bush will always begin a battle. Taking too long to select the correct bush will instantly result in failure and the Poké Radar will need to be reused with 10 more watts to try again.

The battle system of the Pokéwalker is quite primitive, even compared to the [[Generation I]] games; each Pokémon utilizes their in-game menusprite in the battle, while each has only 4 HP. Only three choices are offered: Attack, Evade, or Catch. Attacking will cause the player's Pokémon to perform a basic tackle on the opponent (note that this is not the {{m|Tackle|move itself}}, and that type advantages and disadvantages play no role), while evading may cause the opponent's attack to miss. Evading successfully will result in attacking the opponent for one damage without receiving any. If the player's Pokémon evades but the opponent does not choose to attack, it will result in a "Stare down" between the two Pokémon. If multiple stare-downs occur in succession, it is likely the opponent will flee, though this is not always the case. The catch option will throw a Poké Ball at the wild Pokémon, which, if it is sufficiently weak enough, may be caught. Critical hits sometimes occur: these will take away 2 HP rather than the standard 1. If a Poké Ball is not successful in capturing the opponent Pokémon, it will flee, and the player's 10 watts will have been in vain. The same is true if the player's Pokémon defeats its opponent, while if the opponent defeats the player's Pokémon, up to ten watts will be lost (much as money is in the main series games after the defeat of the player's Pokémon).

===Dowsing MCHN===
[[File:Pokewalker items.png|thumb|right|160px|Finding an item]]
Much like in the main games, the Dowsing MCHN will help the player find items in the wild. Each use of this function costs 3 watts, and the player has two chances to find an item hidden among six grass tufts. If the item is not found the first time, the Dowsing MCHN will tell the player if the item is close by or far away. If the item is close by then it is likely either to the direct right or the direct left of the first checked grass tuft. Likewise if the item is far away then the item is at least two grass tufts away in either direction. If the item is not found on the second search, the player will be out of luck and will have to pay an additional 3 watts to try again.

==Advantageous types==
Each Pokéwalker area has three advantageous [[elemental type|elemental types]] which vary between routes, and have influence over the Pokéwalker's Poké Radar and Dowsing MCHN. When a Pokémon of an advantageous type is brought into a route, then the chance of finding rarer Pokémon when using the Poké Radar and items when using the Dowsing MCHN will slightly increase. In addition to making rarer Pokémon easier to find when using the Poké Radar, an advantageous type will lower the required step count for each Pokémon by 25%. This effect does not seem to apply to the Dowsing MCHN.

==Areas==
[[File:Pokewalker areas.png|thumb|right|Selecting an area before sending a Pokémon]]
The Pokéwalker has 27 distinct areas that a player can have their Pokémon visit on sending them from HeartGold or SoulSilver. The main difference between them is the species of Pokémon that can be found using the Poké Radar. Two areas are unlocked from the start, while more can be unlocked by various means.

==Communication==
The Pokéwalker, like the Pokémon Pikachu 2, can communicate with other Pokéwalkers as well as with Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver. Unlike before, this exchange is not limited merely to watts, but also items and Pokémon.

===With other Pokéwalkers===
If two Pokéwalkers are within range of each other, and infrared communications are activated, the two players' Pokémon will interact, and each player will receive an item. Which items are given is based on the route the player is using at the time. A player can only link with the same person once per day. Similar to mixing records, once two players connect their Pokéwalkers, then their in-game team data at the time they sent their Pokémon to the Pokéwalker will also be passed to the other person. When a player then sends their Pokémon back to the games, then the person that they connected with and their team will appear in the basement of the [[Trainer House]] located in [[Viridian City]] so that they can be battled for one [[Battle Point]] once a day.

===With HeartGold and SoulSilver===
[[File:PokéWalk.png|thumb|350px|Communication between a Pokéwalker and a [[Nintendo DSi]] with HeartGold or SoulSilver]]
Coming bundled with the games themselves, the Pokéwalker's most important means of communication is with a copy of Pokémon HeartGold or Pokémon SoulSilver. The Pokéwalker syncs with the time on the Nintendo DS system it links with. As long as a Pokémon is on the Pokéwalker, the specific game it came from is locked to that Pokéwalker, and will only send back to the same save file.

After a sync with the games, any Pokémon caught in the Pokéwalker will be put into a PC box, while items found in the device will be placed into the bag's appropriate pocket. A diary will be kept on the game of specific events related to the Pokémon in the Pokéwalker.

The Pokéwalker will connect to any DS system, be it the [[Nintendo DS|original Nintendo DS]], [[Nintendo DS Lite|DS Lite]], [[Nintendo DSi|DSi]], or [[Nintendo DSi XL|DSi XL]] as the infrared receiver is in the game cartridge itself, rather than on the system (as was the case with the originals Gold, Silver, and Crystal themselves, cut off from communication with the Pokémon Pikachu 2 if not in a [[Game Boy Color]]).

==Troubleshooting==
===Returning a Pokémon===
A Pokémon can be restored to the game it was taken from if a Pokéwalker is lost or broken by pressing the following buttons at the Pokéwalker connection screen:
*Press and hold Up, Select, and R

===Resetting a Pokéwalker===
At the Pokéwalker connection screen:
*Press and hold Down, X, and L

===Replacing the battery===
The Pokéwalker uses a CR 2032 3V watch battery. Removing the battery will cause all steps taken and watts obtained to be cleared. The Pokémon inside will not be erased.

===Replacing a Pokéwalker===
Nintendo has started selling individual Pokéwalkers, battery covers, and clip covers as replacements on their online store [http://store.nintendo.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/SearchView?catalogId=10001&storeId=10001&langId=-1&currency=USD&ignoreCrumbs=&crumb1=&crumb1Ignore=&crumb2=&crumb2Ignore=&crumb3=&crumb3Ignore=&translateFrom=%C3%88%C3%89%C3%87&translateTo=EEC&usrSearchText=Pokewalker&searchText=POKEWALKER&selSrchType=&page=&view=&productId=&categoryId=&lastAction=&orderTotal=null&tranId=0&jktranid=&rpComment=&dropOff=&userSearchText=Pokewalker&bnSubmit.x=0&bnSubmit.y=0]. These replacements can be used with any HeartGold or SoulSilver game card, regardless of the default language.

==Compatibility==
The Pokéwalker can communicate with other Players in several ways, including infrared communication, sending gifts to the other person's game, and fighting their Pokémon teams at the [[Trainer House]].
===Between Pokéwalkers===
Pokéwalkers can communicate with native Pokéwalkers and foreign Pokéwalkers; for example, an English Pokéwalker could communicate with a Japanese Pokéwalker. This works for all languages.
===Communicating with games===
Each Pokéwalker can send gifts to any game. However, the Pokémon on the Pokéwalker must return to the game it was sent from.
===Syncing with new games===
After resetting a Pokéwalker, it may be synced with another game.

It should also be noted that when synced with a new game, the Pokéwalker will become the language the game is. For example, if you synced a Pokéwalker that came with a Japanese game with an English game, after syncing, the Pokéwalker would be in English. This proves that very little data is stored on the Pokéwalker itself, most likely that only the Pokémon on it and the trainer's party is stored on it. The latter could be because you can fight trainers you've gifted with at the [[Trainer House]] in [[Viridian City]].

==Trivia==
*The Pokéwalker's sprites are greyscale versions of the ones used in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, rather than the ones from {{game|Platinum}} or {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}.
**This is of course with the exception of Platinum-exclusive and HeartGold and SoulSilver-exclusive alternate forms, such as Origin Forme {{p|Giratina}} or [[Spiky-eared Pichu]].
*The tall grass and alert exclamation point sprites used on the Radar screen of the Pokéwalker are reused sprites used in the original Gold and Silver. (Tall grass is from the [[National Park]], and the alert sprite is from a trainer battle.)
*In order to unlock all non-event routes, one would need to walk approximately 1000 miles (1609 km), assuming 2000 steps per mile, with the assumption that no watts are spent or received as gifts.[http://www.shapeup.org/shape/steps.php]
*If walking with the Pokéwalker the recommended 10,000 steps[http://www.accustep10000.org/what.htm] per day, it would take 200 days to unlock all the routes, with the assumption that no watts are spent or received as gifts.
*In the Pokéwalker, 20 steps equals 1 watt. Similarly, it takes approximately 20 steps to burn 1 calorie. [http://www.pittcountync.gov/depts/planning/cdwalk/pages/info.shtml]
*The Pokéwalker will record up to a maximum of 99999 steps a day, though watts will continue to be earned. Similarily, there is a limit of 9999 watts before some must be transfered or spent to earn more.
*When a Pokémon levels from a Pokéwalker, it does not evolve, or learn moves, when transferred.
* In regards to steps required in order to find rarer Pokémon, only the steps taken from the current ongoing stroll count. Ergo, if one takes 5000 steps in Dim Cave, transfers the Pokémon back over for another, and attempts to encounter the selected A Class Pokémon, it will not be possible until 5000 more steps have been taken. By using the "send gift" option instead, this can be circumvented.
** However, the same does not apply to items. For instance, if one takes 6000 steps in Suburban Area, then transfers to Dim Cave, the Dowsing MCHN may be used to acquire [[TM18]] without taking 6000 steps in the current area.

Pokéwalker

2010-03-31T07:37:01Z

System Error: /* Trivia */

[[File:Pokewalker.png|thumb|200px|The Pokéwalker]]

The '''Pokéwalker''' (Japanese: '''ポケウォーカー''' ''Pokéwalker'') is a {{wp|pedometer}} device bundled with {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} that can interact with the games in various manners.

Much as HeartGold and SoulSilver are remakes of the original {{2v2|Gold|Silver}}, the Pokéwalker could be considered to be somewhat of a remake of the [[Pokémon Pikachu 2]], which interacted in much the same way with the [[Generation II]] games. Unlike the Pokémon Pikachu 2, however, Pikachu is not the only Pokémon that can be interacted with, and Pokémon can actually be transferred to ''and'' from the Pokéwalker at any given point in time.

Like the [[Pokémon Pikachu]] and its successor, the Pokéwalker uses a currency known as "watts" (shortened to ''w''), which are obtained as the {{player}} walks with the device. Every 20 steps will earn the player one watt.

Alongside the [[Johto Safari Zone]], the Pokéwalker allows for Pokémon normally unavailable until after the player has traveled to [[Kanto]], such as {{p|Murkrow}}, to be available before defeating the Elite Four.

==Technical specs==
[[Image:Pokewalker artwork.png|thumb|300px|Artwork and features of the Pokéwalker]]
The Pokéwalker is a small device, 4.8 centimeters (1.9 inches) in diameter and 13.9 millimeters (0.5 inches) thick, weighing in at only 21 grams (0.75 ounces). It is portable, with an optional belt clip included with the system; a plain backing is installed out of the package and must be replaced using a Phillips-head screwdriver.

==Gameplay==
Pokéwalker gameplay boils down to simply walking around with the device so as to charge up watts, then utilizing the watts to purchase use of the [[Poké Radar]] and [[Dowsing MCHN]]. Up to three caught Pokémon and up to three found items may be stored at once: any more than that, and the player will have to decide which to get rid of. The step counter resets at midnight each day. The Pokéwalker's clock is synchronized with the game's clock every time the Pokéwalker connects to the game. Although the clock can be veiwed on the Pokéwalker under the "Trainer Card" menu option, it can not be directly altered on the Pokéwalker device. The Pokéwalker's clock is set in military time and can not be changed to 12-hour style.

From time to time, typically during the Pokéwalker's hibernation, the Pokémon stored in the Pokéwalker may react to something, displaying a face, a musical note, a heart, or an exclamation mark above the background of the route it's taking a stroll on. When that happens, the player must press the center button. Upon doing so, the player will receive either 10 watts (if it is a face), 20 watts (if it is a musical note), 50 watts (if it is a heart), or a random item from that route (if it is an exclamation mark). If there is no Pokémon stored in the Pokéwalker, the player might see a similar notice on the screen. If the middle button is pressed, a wild Pokémon might befriend the Trainer, which means it is instantly captured.

===Poké Radar===
[[File:Pokewalker battling.png|thumb|left|150px|The battle screen]]
Each time the Poké Radar is used will cost the player 10 watts, and brings them to a screen containing four patches of grass. If an exclamation point is seen above a certain patch of grass, if clicked, a battle with a Pokémon may start, or another patch may be chosen, often resulting to more exclamation points. The more exclamation points seen, the rarer the Pokémon will be.

The battle system of the Pokéwalker is quite primitive, even compared to the [[Generation I]] games; each Pokémon utilizes their in-game menusprite in the battle, while each has only 4 HP. Only three choices are offered: Attack, Evade, or Catch. Attacking will cause the player's Pokémon to perform a basic tackle on the opponent (note that this is not the {{m|Tackle|move itself}}, and that type advantages and disadvantages play no role), while evading may cause the opponent's attack to miss. Evading successfully will result in attacking the opponent for one damage without receiving any. If the player's Pokémon evades but the opponent does not choose to attack, it will result in a "Stare down" between the two Pokémon. If multiple stare-downs occur in succession, it is likely the opponent will flee, though this is not always the case. The catch option will throw a Poké Ball at the wild Pokémon, which, if it is sufficiently weak enough, may be caught. Critical hits sometimes occur: these will take away 2 HP rather than the standard 1. If a Poké Ball is not successful in capturing the opponent Pokémon, it will flee, and the player's 10 watts will have been in vain. The same is true if the player's Pokémon defeats its opponent, while if the opponent defeats the player's Pokémon, up to ten watts will be lost (much as money is in the main series games after the defeat of the player's Pokémon).

==Communication==
The Pokéwalker, like the Pokémon Pikachu 2, can communicate with other Pokéwalkers as well as with Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver. Unlike before, this exchange is not limited merely to watts, but also items and Pokémon.

===With other Pokéwalkers===
If two Pokéwalkers are within range of each other, and infrared communications are activated, the two players' Pokémon will interact, and each player will receive an item. Which items are given is based on the route the player is using at the time. A player can only link with the same person once per day. Similar to mixing records, once two players connect their Pokéwalkers, then their in-game team data at the time they sent their Pokémon to the Pokéwalker will also be passed to the other person. When a player then sends their Pokémon back to the games, then the person that they connected with and their team will appear in the basement of the [[Trainer House]] located in [[Viridian City]] so that they can be battled for one [[Battle Point]] once a day.

===With HeartGold and SoulSilver===
[[File:PokéWalk.png|thumb|350px|Communication between a Pokéwalker and a [[Nintendo DSi]] with HeartGold or SoulSilver]]
Coming bundled with the games themselves, the Pokéwalker's most important means of communication is with a copy of Pokémon HeartGold or Pokémon SoulSilver. The Pokéwalker synchs with the time on the Nintendo DS system it links with. As long as a Pokémon is on the Pokéwalker, the specific game it came from is locked to that Pokéwalker, and will only send back to the same save file.

After a sync with the games, any Pokémon caught in the Pokéwalker will be put into a PC box, while items found in the device will be placed into the bag's appropriate pocket. A diary will be kept on the game of specific events related to the Pokémon in the Pokéwalker.

The Pokéwalker will connect to any DS system, be it the [[Nintendo DS|original Nintendo DS]], [[Nintendo DS Lite|DS Lite]], [[Nintendo DSi|DSi]], or [[Nintendo DSi XL|DSi XL]] as the infrared receiver is in the game cartridge itself, rather than on the system (as was the case with the originals Gold, Silver, and Crystal themselves, cut off from communication with the Pokémon Pikachu 2 if not in a [[Game Boy Color]]).

==Troubleshooting==
===Returning a Pokémon===
A Pokémon can be restored to the game it was taken from if a Pokéwalker is lost or broken by pressing the following buttons at the Pokéwalker connection screen:
*Press and hold Up, Select, and R

===Resetting a Pokéwalker===
At the Pokéwalker connection screen:
*Press and hold Down, X, and L
===Replacing the battery===
The Pokéwalker uses a CR 2032 3V watch battery. Removing the battery will cause all steps taken and watts obtained to be cleared. The Pokémon inside will not be erased.

==Trivia==
*The Pokéwalker's sprites are greyscale versions of the ones used in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, rather than the ones from {{game|Platinum}} or {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}.
**This is of course with the exception of Platinum-exclusive and HeartGold and SoulSilver-exclusive alternate forms, such as Origin Forme {{p|Giratina}} or [[Spiky-eared Pichu]].
*In order to unlock all non-event routes, one would need to walk approximately 1000 miles (1609 km), assuming 2000 steps per mile, with the assumption that no watts are spent or received as gifts.[http://www.shapeup.org/shape/steps.php]
*If walking with the Pokéwalker the recommended 10,000 steps[http://www.accustep10000.org/what.htm] per day, it would take 200 days to unlock all the routes, with the assumption that no watts are spent or received as gifts.
*In the Pokéwalker, 20 steps equals 1 watt. Similarly, it takes approximately 20 steps to burn 1 calorie. [http://www.pittcountync.gov/depts/planning/cdwalk/pages/info.shtml]
*The Pokéwalker will record up to a maximum of 99999 steps a day, though watts will continue to be earned. Similarily, there is a limit of 9999 watts before some must be transfered or spent to earn more.

Shuckle (Pokémon)

2010-03-30T22:02:31Z

System Error: I walked around with a Shuckle for three days straight, leveled it up, etc., in Gen IV, and no Berry Juice. All reports I've seen say it doesn't work, either.

'''Shuckle''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ツボツボ''' ''Tsubotsubo'') is a dual-type {{2t|Bug|Rock}} Pokémon.

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

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Shuckle bears resemblance to a small turtle. Shuckle is encased in a very hard red shell that has many holes in it. Its body inside the shell is yellow and presumably very soft. Shuckle's limbs appear limp till in use and are completely able.

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

====Special abilities====
Shuckle are well-known for having high defenses, surpassing all other Pokémon in both [[Defense|physical]] and [[Special Defense]]. Because of these high defenses, however, Shuckle's other stats are incredibly low, being either lowest or very near to lowest of all Pokémon.

In [[Generation II]], if a Shuckle is made to hold a standard [[Berry]], it will in time break down into [[Berry Juice]], which doubles its effectiveness. If held even longer, the Berry Juice will harden and turn into a [[Vitamin#Rare Candy|Rare candy]]. This functionality was removed from later Generations.

===Behavior===
Rather then actively hunting and foraging for food like most other [[Pokémon]], it tends to collect berries and store them in its shell. The berries inside are liquefied and fermented by the Shuckle's digestive juices, which are then consumed by the Shuckle. These juices are also used to dissolve rocks for the Shuckle to hide under.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Mountain.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Mountain Pokémon}}]]
Shuckle tend to hide under rocks and fallen logs for long periods of time.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
This Pokémon's main diet consists of berries, which it collects and stores in its shell. In [[Pokémon Gold]], [[Pokémon Silver|Silver]], and [[Pokémon Crystal|Crystal]], having a Shuckle hold a berry turns the berry into [[Drink|Berry Juice]], and it also eventually becomes a [[Vitamin#Rare_Candy|Rare Candy]].

==In the anime==
[[File:JessieWithShinyShuckle.png|thumb|right|200px|[[Jessie]] with a [[Shiny Pokémon|purple]] Shuckle]]
===Major appearances===
In ''[[EP170|A Better Pill to Swallow]]'', [[Old Man Shuckle|an old man]] was using the Berry Juice that Shuckle makes to create medicine. One of the Shuckle that he befriended was a [[Shiny Pokémon|purple]] Shuckle whose Berry Juice attracted Pokémon to anyone who drank it. Because of this, [[Team Rocket]] made it their mission to steal it.

[[Butch]]'s Shuckle debuted in ''[[DP065|Sleight of Sand!]]''.

===Minor appearances===
A Shuckle was one of the residents of [[Big Town]] in ''[[PK07|Pikachu & Pichu]]''.

A Shuckle also appeared in ''[[DP124|To Thine Own Pokémon Be True!]]''.

A Shuckle appeared in ''[[DP146|Dressed for Jess Success!]]''.

Another Shuckle appeared in ''[[DP155|Double-Time Battle Training!]]'' under the ownership of [[Rebecca (Sinnoh)|Rebecca]].

===Pokédex entries===
{{Animedexheader|Johto}}
{{Animedexbody|EP170|Shuckle|Ash's Pokédex|Shuckle, the Mold Pokémon. When Shuckle places organic materials in its husk-like shell, the items are transformed into a [[Pokémon food#Food produced by Pokémon|unique juice]]. Shuckle are naturally shy and are most often found hiding beneath rocks.}}
{{Animedexfooter/Pokémon|original|Johto}}

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
Shuckle's major appearance is in {{PAV|23}}, under the control of [[Orm]]. Orm manages to use one Shuckle to control a huge swarm of Shuckle and hold {{adv|Blue}} down, but once Blue takes out the leader Shuckle, the entire group formation falls apart.

==Trivia==
* Shuckle has the highest {{stat|Defense}} and {{stat|Special Defense}} stats [[List of Pokémon by base stats|of any Pokémon]], with a max of 614 in them with beneficial [[nature]]s (which are also the highest non-HP stats in existence).
** After using {{m|Power Trick}}, Shuckle has the highest {{stat|Attack}} of any Pokémon with a max of 614 in it with beneficial [[nature]]s (To compare, {{p|Deoxys}}'s Attack form's maximum Attack stat is ''only'' 504.).
* Shuckle couldn't learn any {{type2|Bug}} moves before {{game|Platinum}}, despite having Bug as its primary type.
** Shuckle also cannot learn any {{type2|Rock}} moves by level-up, despite having Rock as its secondary type.
* Shuckle, along with {{p|Munchlax}}, in terms of base stats, is the {{stat|speed|slowest}} non-glitched Pokémon of all.
* Shuckle, along with {{p|Feebas}} and {{p|Bonsly}}, has the lowest {{stat|Special Attack}} of all Pokémon.
* Despite Shuckle being described as having limp, weak muscles, it is able to learn {{m|Strength}} and {{m|Rock Smash}} as [[HM]]s.
* In [[Generation II]] and the {{pkmn|anime}}, Shuckle's shiny form is purple; however, in [[Generation IV]] and [[Generation III]], it is blue.
** Shuckle is one of the few Pokémon to have official art for its shiny form.
** One can view it in a game at the Funzone on [[Pokémon.com]] if one knows the address.
* Although the circumstances would be nearly impossible, a [[level]] 100 Shuckle can potentially deal the most damage in one single attack through the use of numerous stat boosters, by using {{m|Helping Hand}}, {{DL|In-battle effect item|Metronome}} held item, {{m|Power Trick}}, a {{m|Skill Swap}} to {{a|Pure Power}} or {{a|Huge Power}}, and the {{m|Defense Curl}}/{{m|Rollout}} combo. Also, Shuckle's partner must have the ability {{a|Flower Gift}} and the weather must be sunny. On the 5th impact of Rollout, if used against a level 1 {{p|Ledyba}} or {{p|Yanma}} that have been hit with negative Defense modifiers (such as {{m|Screech}}), it can deal 213,896,052 damage with a critical hit.
** If a level 100 Shuckle uses Power Trick, and is then skill swapped with Pure Power or Huge Power, it would obtain a maximum attack stat of 1228.
* Shuckle can learn {{m|Knock Off}} as an [[Egg moves|egg move]], but it can't learn it through [[move tutor]].
* In [[Generation II]], Shuckle is the only Pokémon that can learn {{m|Sweet Scent}} by breeding.
*Despite being weak to {{type2|Water}}, it appears in the sea in [[Pal Park]].
===Origin===
Shuckle seems to be based on an {{wp|endolith}}, an organism that lives inside porous rocks or animal shells, or an {{wp|abalone}}. Fungi, also known as mold, are common endoliths. This explains why Shuckle is the mold Pokémon.

It may also be based on {{wp|scale insect}}s – small, shelled parasites that produce a sweet fluid called {{wp|honeydew (secretion)|honeydew}} that attracts other insects.

It also appears that Shuckle could also be a mixture of several different mollusk in one as a land form. Shuckle seem to have most the major qualities of {{wp|mollusks}}. Examples: the shell, each foot being muscular and limp-seeming, the use of acids to receive food or to break down obstacles, likes fermented foods, and lives close to the water in many cases.

====Name origin====
Shuckle may be derived from ''shuck'', to remove from a husk or pod.

Its Japanese name is a repetition of 壷 ''tsubo'', jar, or 富士壺 ''fujitsubo'', {{wp|barnacle}}.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Pottrott - From ''Pott'' (a colloquial word for jar) and ''verrotten'' (to rot), referring to the fermentation of berries in its shell.
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Caratroc - From ''carapace'' (shell) and ''troc'' (exchange), refering to its ability of transforming berries into berry juice.
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 단단지 ''Dandanji''

Pika Cup

2009-11-09T00:23:56Z

System Error:

'''Pika Cup''' (Japanese: '''イエローカップ''' ''Yellow Cup'') is the lowest-level [[Stadium Cup]] in [[Pokémon Stadium (English)|Pokémon Stadium]], and did not return in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]].

It is a cup for low leveled Pokémon, specifically those from Level 15 to Level 20. The sum of the levels of the three Pokémon chosen cannot be more than 50. Technically, all Pokémon except for {{p|Mewtwo}} and {{p|Mew}} are eligible to enter. However, getting strong Pokémon at that low of a level can get quite complicated. While some are catchable at low levels in certain versions (e.g. Level 15 {{p|Dragonair}} in [[Pokémon Yellow Version|Yellow]]), others are more complex and involve trading across the in-game trainers and the different versions. Interestingly, as many of these involve the Yellow version, its naming after that game's [[version mascot]], {{p|Pikachu}} may have had more than one point to it.

==Trainers==
*Bug Catcher
*Lad
*Swimmer
*Burglar
*Engineer
*Hiker
*Lass
*Fisherman

==Available via tradebacks from Generation II==

Many Pokémon from Generation I that previous appeared exclusively at level 21 or higher can be obtained at low levels in Generation II and then traded to a Generation I game to be used in the Pika Cup. Also, the inclusion of Generation II tradebacks lowers the "Lowest Level Usable" for some Pokémon. The following list shows every Pokémon not previously available or with a lower minimum level:

F.E.A.R.

2009-09-05T22:22:25Z

System Error: Don't mislead the people, now.

'''F.E.A.R.''' is a last-resort strategy used in competitive battling, normally usable only once per battle. A "F.E.A.R. Pokémon" is a Pokémon compatible with a certain moveset capable of defeating a full-HP opponent at virtually any level (most notably LV 100) while itself is only at LV 1 or 2, the reason being for bragging rights. The most well-known Pokémon used for this strategy is a {{p|Rattata}}.

F.E.A.R. generally stands for:
*[[Focus Sash]]
*{{m|Endeavor}}
*{{m|Quick Attack|(Quick) Attack}}
*{{p|Rattata}}

The original term, coined by strategists as humor, was "'''F'''***ing '''E'''vil '''A'''nnoying '''R'''odent".

The strategy (and original profanity-laden term) was originally conceived on GameFAQs' ''Pokémon Diamond'' [http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/gentopic.php?board=925601 message board] in early 2007.

==How to use F.E.A.R.==
After one of the player's Pokémon faints, the F.E.A.R. Pokémon can be sent out against an opponent's Pokémon with (preferably) full HP (though other situations will work, albeit possibly not as well). During the first turn, the F.E.A.R. Pokémon will use Endeavor, and the opponent will most likely use an offensive attack to try to defeat the F.E.A.R. Pokémon (assuming, of course, that the opponent isn't aware of this strategy). The F.E.A.R. Pokémon would indeed faint, if it were not holding the Focus Sash, which allows the user to hold on to 1 HP after a hit which would otherwise knock it out from max-HP. When the Pokémon uses Endeavor, the HP of the opponent's Pokémon will equal the HP of its own (which is now, assuming Focus Sash triggered, equal to 1). During the following turn, the F.E.A.R. Pokémon can use Quick Attack to wipe out the remaining 1 HP of the opponent's Pokémon. Obviously, this strategy works only once per battle, seeing as Focus Sash will not work twice.

==Countering F.E.A.R.==
While an impressive strategy, F.E.A.R. is very widespread, making it next to useless, as many teams are able to counter it and players are aware of how it works and how to stop it from working. The following are six ways to counter the F.E.A.R. strategy:
* Knowledge: The simplest strategy and perhaps the most effective. If the opponent knows the F.E.A.R. strategy, they won't attack as needed for it to work (a damaging move), or they will switch out for a Pokémon immune to it or easily able to counter it. Besides the other three counters listed here, a player could switch out after the opponent's F.E.A.R. uses Endeavor, leaving it with 1 HP and another Pokémon to sweep the F.E.A.R. However, if the F.E.A.R.-using player predicts correctly, this problem can be solved using Pursuit.
* {{t|Ghost}}-types: As Ghost-types are immune to {{t|Normal}}- and {{t|Fighting}}-type attacks, Endeavor and Quick Attack are useless against them. It should be noted however, that a F.E.A.R. {{p|Kangaskhan}} with {{a|Scrappy}} will still be able to use Endeavor against a Ghost-type Pokémon.
* A Pokémon with {{m|Quick Attack}}, {{m|ExtremeSpeed}}, {{m|Sucker Punch}}, {{m|Ice Shard}}, or other automatic, first-hit effects: If the opponent uses an increased-priority move at the same time as the F.E.A.R. Pokémon does, the large difference in level will almost always result in the opponent's Pokémon landing the hit first, leaving the opponent with little HP, but leaving the F.E.A.R. player with one Pokémon down.
*A move that damages foes upon switching in (like {{M|Spikes}} or {{m|Stealth Rock}}) can cancel out the Focus Sash effect, thus causing the foe to be unable to withstand a one-hit KO. This only works if the F.E.A.R. Pokémon isn't released prior to that move.
**Note that Doduo, Taillow, Starly, Togekiss, and Shaymin in its Sky Forme are immune to Spikes.
*Moves, abilities, and statuses that deal damage every turn (like {{m|Sandstorm}} or {{DL|Status ailment|Burn}}) can cancel out Focus Sash's effect. This can also work without using a turn if a Pokémon like {{p|Tyranitar}}, {{p|Hippowdon}}, or {{p|Abomasnow}} activate their abilities. (Note that F.E.A.R. Phanpy, Corsola, Wormadam (Sandy and Trash Cloaks) and Swinub are immune to Sandstorm (and the last one to {{m|Hail}} as well.))
*{{m|Embargo}} prevents the foe from using any item, in this case Focus Sash.
*Similarly, {{m|Knock Off}} will get rid of the F.E.A.R. Pokémon's Focus Sash, and KO them at the same time before it can use Endeavor to reduce HP.
* {{DL|In-battle effect item|Leftovers}} (and {{DL|In-battle effect item|Black Sludge}} in the case of {{type2|Poison}} foes) return some HP to the users Pokémon, and more than likely, more than the opposing F.E.A.R. can deal with its increased-priority move.
*Similarly, if an attacked Pokémon is holding any [[HP]]-restoring [[berry]], the F.E.A.R. Pokémon would not do enough damage to defeat it.
*F.E.A.R.: Ironically, a way to combat a F.E.A.R. Pokémon is having it face another F.E.A.R. Pokémon (or some other low-level Pokémon). Having roughly the same HP, both F.E.A.R.s would do little damage towards each other. It isn't, however, practical or useful to carry a F.E.A.R. Pokémon just for the sake of combating another F.E.A.R., as both Pokémon are about evenly-matched.
*Using a decreased-priority move will leave the Pokémon attacking the F.E.A.R. Pokémon with approximately 12 or so health points after the first turn and the F.E.A.R. Pokémon will only have 1 health point, causing an easy sweep on the second turn.

'''Pocket Monsters Blue''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスター {{tt|青|あお}}''') was the third [[Pokémon games|Pokémon game]] released in Japan on October 10, 1996, as a minor revision of {{2v2|Red|Green}}, which were released earlier that year. It was thus the first [[third version]] of Pokémon, and was initially sold only to subscribers to [[CoroCoro]].

Various fixes in the game include a graphics and sound upgrade, as well as the removal of several known glitches that had been found in the original pair. Like its paired predecessors, it was never ''truly'' released outside of Japan, however, while Red and Green provided the wild Pokémon and [[version-exclusive]] lists for the rest of the world's {{2v2|Red|Blue}}, Blue provided the graphics, game engine, and script for translation.

==Plot==
Much as would become standard for third versions, players, like in the earlier Red and Green, started in [[Pallet Town|Masara Town]] in the [[Kanto|Kanto region]], receiving a [[starter Pokémon]] from [[Professor Oak|Dr. Okido]]. As before, the choices are {{p|Bulbasaur|Fushigidane}}, {{p|Charmander|Hitokage}}, and {{p|Squirtle|Zenigame}}, and the {{ga|Blue|rival}} chooses the starter that weakens the player's choice.

Like before, the eight [[Gym Leaders]] of Kanto are [[Brock|Takeshi]], [[Misty|Kasumi]], [[Lt. Surge|Matis]], [[Erika]], [[Koga|Kyo]], [[Sabrina|Natsume]], [[Blaine|Katsura]], and [[Giovanni|Sakaki]], while the [[Elite Four]] are [[Lorelei|Canna]], [[Bruno|Shiba]], [[Agatha|Kikuko]], and [[Lance|Wataru]], with the rival still in the [[Champion]]'s place.

Again, the evil [[Team Rocket|Rocket Gang]] is causing chaos across the region, and it is up to the player to defeat them.

==Changes from Red and Green==
* Pokémon [[catch rate]]s were adjusted.
* [[Cerulean Cave]], the game's final dungeon, is redesigned.
* [[List of in-game trades|In-game trades]] are changed to different Pokémon.
* [[Rocket Game Corner|Game Corner]] prizes are different.
* Pokémon only available through an in-game trade in Red and Green are now found in the wild.

==Features==
===Gyms===
Much as in Red and Green, there are eight Pokémon Gyms in Kanto, each with their own type affiliation. The Gym Leaders are [[Brock|Takeshi]] ({{t|Rock}}), [[Misty|Kasumi]] ({{t|Water}}), [[Lt. Surge|Matis]] ({{t|Electric}}), [[Erika]] ({{t|Grass}}), [[Koga|Kyo]] ({{t|Poison}}), [[Sabrina|Natsume]] ({{t|Psychic}}), [[Blaine|Katsura]] ({{t|Fire}}) and [[Giovanni|Sakaki]] ({{t|Ground}}).

===Elite Four===
The Elite Four at [[Indigo Plateau|Quartz Plateau]] also remains unchanged, with [[Lorelei|Canna]] ({{t|Ice}}), [[Bruno|Shiba]] ({{t|Fighting}}), [[Agatha|Kikuko]] ({{t|Ghost}}) and [[Lance|Wataru]] ({{t|Dragon}}). The [[Champion]] is {{ga|Blue|Green}}, who has Pokémon of mixed types.

===Pokémon===
Blue did not introduce any new Pokémon, and so the 151 present in Red and Green are the only ones obtainable. Like Red and Green, some Pokémon are missing from Blue and must be traded from another game to complete the Pokédex or evolved from less powerful forms.

==[[Version-exclusive Pokémon|Missing Pokémon]]==
The following Pokémon are not obtainable in Pokémon Blue. In order to obtain any of the below Pokémon, they must be traded from one of the paired versions of [[Generation I]] which has that Pokémon available, which will be indicated.

==Trivia==
*Because the script for Pokémon Blue, rather than that of Red and Green, was used for the translation of the Japanese trio into {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, an old man who trades the player an {{p|Electrode}} on [[Cinnabar Island]] claims that the {{p|Raichu}} he received "went and evolved". As Raichu does not have an evolved form, this makes no sense whatsoever. In the context of Pokémon Blue, however, it makes sense, as the player trades away a {{p|Kadabra}}, which evolves through trade, for a {{p|Graveler}} in this game.

PokéGods

2009-08-17T16:34:28Z

System Error:

'''PokéGods''' is a term sometimes used to refer to [[fake Pokémon]]. The term appeared in [[Generation I]] and was very popular then. The concept was very much discussed and disputed over on various forum websites. Many videos that were '''hacks''' were passed off as real to try to "prove" the case, a search on YouTube will reveal quite a few. Some would claim that they are powerful, [[legendary Pokémon]] which can only be obtained by secret cheat codes. However, cheat codes to obtain the so-called 'Gods' are always fake, since the PokéGods themselves are fake. The cheats usually trick gullible {{player}}s into wiping out their saved game or attempt to do odd cheats, which often involved beating the [[Pokémon League]] a predetermined number of times, usually with set Pokémon, or catching [[Missingno.]] and/or [['M]].

Some [[Glitch Pokémon]] obtainable by variations on the [[Mew glitch]] or by GameShark are also sometimes referred to as "PokéGods". Particularily, any Pokemon that had a Pokédex number over 150 was considered to be a PokéGod - including [[Mew (Pokémon)|Mew]] itself. After the release of the [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions|Gold and Silver]] versions, however, this term became largely obsolete.

Glitch City

'''Glitch City''' (Japanese: '''故障都市''' ''Accidental City'') is a term used by players of the [[Pokémon games]] to refer to corrupted maps that result from a [[glitch]] present in the [[Generation I]] games of {{game2|Red|Blue|Yellow}}.

==Accessing Glitch City==
Players may activate the glitch that causes Glitch City to appear by following these steps:
#Travel to the [[Kanto Safari Zone|Safari Zone]]. Enter a Safari Game, then walk around for 150 steps. Pokémon may be caught, and will not have any negative consequences from this glitch.
#In the Safari Zone, save the game, turn it off, then turn it back on.
#Exit the Safari Zone. The attendant will ask if the player would like to join a Safari Game. Answer "no".
#{{m|Fly}} anywhere (for the easiest Glitch City to walk in, go to [[Cinnabar Island]]'s east coast).
#After taking 500 steps, the Safari Zone's PA will ring, and the player will be teleported into the Safari Zone gatehouse.
#Leave the gatehouse through the south exit, and the player will be in Glitch City.

==Escaping Glitch City==
The only way to fix the glitch is to {{m|Fly}} or {{m|Teleport}} out of Glitch City. There is no need to worry about any permanent corruption. However, if the player saves in Glitch City and does not have a Pokémon that can allow them to leave, they will need to replace their save file with a new and empty one to escape.

==Explanation==
In the Pokémon games, doors and cave entrances are coded as "warps" that are placed on tiles. Warps have two values: one value specifies what map the player should be warped to, and the other specifies which warp on the map the player should be teleported to (warps can only lead to other warps).

This glitch occurs because the player manages to trick the game into letting him or her out of the Safari Zone while the step timer is still running, by saving the game. When the steps run out, they are warped to the Safari Zone gatehouse, regardless of whether or not they are actually in the Safari Zone.

The reason the player may find themselves in Glitch City upon exiting the gatehouse is because the door that ''would'' lead out to [[Fuchsia City]] is coded so that the warp points to warp 4 on the last map the player was on. This would work perfectly normally, however, many areas in Generation I [[Kanto]] lack a warp 4, and so the glitch goes through. Maps that do have a warp 4, such as [[Viridian City]], do not result in a Glitch City, instead taking the player to wherever the warp is and letting them leave it normally.

Due to warp-breaking, of course, this means that Glitch City is nothing more than a corrupted version of whatever map the player was on when he or she ran out of time. When the [[Town Map]] is viewed in Glitch City, the map will say that the player is in the area they were in just before entering Glitch City, because they technically ''are'' in the area, just an extremely corrupted version of it. This is why the Glitch City found by running out on {{rt|17}} will cause the player to constantly walk downward and why attempting to use the [[Bicycle]] results in the message "You can't get off here.", and why statues from {{ka|Victory Road}} can be seen in its Glitch City.

The dimensions of the source map are apparently preserved: going too far in any direction while in a Glitch City will cause the player to walk outside of the map, thus crashing the game. The only crash-free Glitch City is that of Pallet Town, which does not allow the player to move at all. On a side note, {{eng|Pokémon Stadium}}'s [[Game Boy Tower]] mistakes such crashes for a corrupted game.

Although some aspects of the source map of Glitch City are preserved, such as tiles, most other attributes are completely changed, such as what is and isn't walkable terrain. There are essentially five types of tiles in Glitch City: Walkable tiles, ledges, walls, {{m|Surf}} tiles, and traps, which can be walked onto but not walked off of. Map links, which allow players to travel between two adjacent areas without a warp (such as from {{rt|22}} to [[Viridian City]]), are also apparently ignored, so if a player manages to navigate to where an adjacent map ''should'' be and try to walk into it, the result will be the same as if they walked outside of the map.

In {{game|Yellow}}, Glitch City has a profound effect on {{p|Pikachu}}'s overworld AI, causing it to run to and from random places. Walking onto certain glitched tiles also make it disappear, though after the player leaves such tiles, Pikachu will reappear and follow the player's recorded path. Pikachu's happiness level will reset in Glitch City, causing it to dislike the player.

==Specific Glitch Cities==
===Cinnabar Island Coast===
In the Glitch City accessed through [[Cinnabar Island]]'s east coast, players are sometimes able to {{m|Surf}} north until they reach the barrier that normally prevents them from leaving [[Route 20]] to the north.

Because invisible walls exist on the western side of this Glitch City, traveling north is the easiest way to escape it. If the player goes to the westernmost checkerboard pattern of water in the area, goes left of it one step, then back right, and presses start, the entire area will become Surfable water.

===Rock Tunnel===
While this location's Glitch City is not anything special, if the player runs out of time in this area without using [[Flash (move)|Flash]], the darkness effect will carry over into the Safari Zone itself. At this point, the player may pay to re-enter the Safari Zone and explore it in its entirity in the dark. Exiting into Glitch City simply results in the effect going away as usual.

===Route 13 (Yellow)===
In {{game|Yellow}}, if a player goes to {{rt|13}} to activate the glitch, after leaving the gatehouse the player will be transported to a Glitch City where any move the player makes will send them to the [[Saffron Gym]]. After leaving the Gym, the player ends up in a completely different Glitch City.

==Prevention in later games==
===[[Generation II]]===
The [[Beta Safari Zone|Safari Zone]] was not included in {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, though it cannot be stated with any certainty that its removal is a result of the Glitch City phenomenon. In any case, its inaccessibility prevents the glitch from occuring the same way it did in {{game|Red}}, {{game|Blue}}, and {{game|Yellow}}. A similar effect, however, can occur after capturing or defeating the [[Glitch Pokémon]] [[Five question marks|?????]].

===[[Generation III]] [[Generation IV|and onwards]]===
In [[Generation III]] and {{gen|IV}} games, including the remakes of Generation I, the player cannot save within the Safari Zone (the menu option instead being replaced with "retire"), thus preventing players from tricking the game and disallowing the reappearance of Glitch City. However, using an Action Replay on the Sinnoh games to run/walk through walls, then biking through certain places will result in a corrupted version of a city, in which many tiles are white. When jumping off the bike, the character is a scrambled block.

==Trivia==
*Pressing start while in Glitch City to bring up the [[menu]] often changes the appearance of the glitched terrain. This is sometimes permanent for the remainder of the time spent in Glitch City, and will at times change all of the tiles into Surf tiles.
*Wild Pokémon data is inherited from the map that the player entered Glitch City from. {{p|Tentacool}}, for example, are common in the Cinnabar Island Coast Glitch City. This does, of course, mean that [[Missingno.]] and [['M]] can be made to appear in Glitch City.
*Background music is also inherited from the map the player entered from. Sea-only routes play their background music, which is normally unheard due to Surf having its own background music.
*If the final step is taken as the player jumps a ledge in an area with a fourth warp, when returning to that area, the player may be able to walk through walls.
*Glitch Cities in {{game|Yellow}} are different from those in {{game|Red and Blue|s}}.
*Glitch City cannot be accessed if the player runs out of steps in [[Celadon City]], [[Cerulean City]], [[Lavender Town]], [[Saffron City]], [[Fuchsia City]], [[Viridian City]], [[Pewter City]], or [[Vermilion City]], as those maps all have fourth warps.
*Normally {{m|Cut}}table trees cannot be cut down in Glitch City, no matter how many times the move is used on it. No signs are readable, doors cannot be entered, and doors and cave entrances (such as the one found in the Cinnabar Island Coast Glitch City) will not work. This is because objects (such as the invisible ones placed over signs) and warps (such as those placed over doors and cave entrances) are not present in Glitch City.
*If the last step made before causing the glitch was while the player was spinning (such as from the tiles in the Viridian Gym), the player will always be spinning while walking, even if this occurs in an area from which it is impossible to enter Glitch City, such as Viridian City.

Poké Ball

2009-07-03T03:19:03Z

System Error: /* In the games */ Is it -30? I think it is. But somebody fix it if not, because Heavy definitely doesn't give multipliers - I can say this with 100% surity

{{Featured}}
[[Image:Pokeball.jpg|thumb|right|A Poké Ball as seen in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]]]
A '''Poké Ball''' (Japanese: '''モンスターボール''' ''Monster Ball'') is a type of [[item]] critical in any {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s quest. It is used for {{pkmn2|captured|capturing}} and storing [[wild Pokémon]]; a {{pkmn|Trainer}} may carry as many Poké Balls and ball variants as he or she desires. However, a Trainer may only carry up to six [[Pokémon]] at a time in their [[party]]. Therefore, if a Trainer owns more than six Pokémon, they may be stored in a [[Pokémon storage system]], and withdrawn or deposited at any [[Pokémon Center]]. There are four different basic levels of Poké Ball, and over a dozen variations on the Poké Ball design throughout the games.

A Poké Ball's strength is determined by how much it raises a wild Pokémon's [[catch rate]]. Many Poké Balls' strengths change based on certain conditions.

A Poké Ball also limits the strength of the Pokémon inside it.

In the distant past, according to the manga adaptation of [[Arceus: To a Conquering Spacetime]], Pokémon were referred to as
''majuu'' (魔獣, or "magical beasts"). This implies that the name Pokémon did not come into common parlance as a term until the Poké Ball's advent allowed Pokémon to be stored in pockets.

==Mechanics==
[[Image:Open PokeBall.gif|frame|right|Interior of a Poké Ball from the anime]]
Though the technology behind the workings of a Poké Ball remains unknown, the basic mechanics are fairly simple to understand. In a {{pkmn|battle}}, once the opposing [[wild Pokémon]] has been weakened, the {{pkmn|Trainer}} will throw a Poké Ball at it. Assuming the Poké Ball hits it and is not dodged or hit back to the Trainer, the Poké Ball will open, convert the wild Pokémon to an energy form, pull the energy into its hollow center, and then close. The wild Pokémon will then be given the chance to struggle to try and escape the Poké Ball. If it escapes, in the anime, the Poké Ball flies back towards the Trainer, while in the games, the Poké Ball bursts open and cannot be reused. If it does not escape, the wild Pokémon will be {{pkmn2|captured}}.

As seen in anime episodes like ''[[AG065|Gulpin it Down!]]'' and ''[[AG104|Claydol Big and Tall]]'', normal Poké Balls have difficulty capturing extremely large and heavy Pokémon, to the point that the Pokémon will not even be taken entirely into the Poké Ball. The latter of these episodes shows how ancient civilizations overcame this issue: to capture and hold a very large Pokémon, they constructed a very large Poké Ball out of stone. However, giant stone Poké Balls are nearly impossible to use, so with the advancement of technology a better solution came in the form of Heavy Balls.
[[Image:PokeballWrong.PNG|thumb|left|Common misspelling, "Pokéball", seen in an official Pokémon [[A Sneak Peek at Pokémon|promotional video]]]]
Besides capturing new Pokémon, Poké Balls are also used to store captured Pokémon. A Trainer can have six Poké Balls with Pokémon in them at one time. When starting a battle, he or she can throw out one or more of these onto the battlefield, and they will open, releasing their Pokémon quickly. When a Trainer wants to recall their Pokémon, they simply hold up the Poké Ball and point it at their Pokémon, and a beam will come from the Poké Ball's button, converting the Pokémon into energy again and drawing it back in. If this beam hits a person for any reason, that person will be momentarily stunned. Also, some Pokémon know how to enter and leave their Poké Balls at will, several examples being [[Jessie's Seviper]] (only when {{p|Zangoose}} are involved), [[Jessie's Wobbuffet]], [[May's Skitty]], and more famously, [[Misty's Psyduck]] and [[Brock's Croagunk]]. Also, if a Pokémon is being sent out, but does not wish to exit its Poké Ball, when the flash of light emerges from the Poké Ball, it will make a u-turn back to the open ball, turn red, and re-enter the Poké Ball. This happened in ''[[EP031|Dig Those Diglett!]]'', when [[Gary Oak]] attempted to send out several unnamed Pokémon to battle the wild {{p|Diglett}}. It also happened when {{Ash}} attempted to send out his {{AP|Squirtle}} (though before he threw the ball, {{AP|Pikachu}} yelled something to Squirtle), and when numerous Trainers attempted to send out their Pokémon.
[[Image:Chimchar release.jpg|[[Paul]] releasing {{AP|Chimchar}}|thumb]]
Poké Balls are not always at full size. Tapping the button on the front can convert it from full size, about the same size as a {{wp|Baseball (object)|baseball}}, to a miniature size, about the same size as a {{wp|Table tennis#The ball|ping-pong ball}}. This smaller size is more useful for storage, being small enough to carry in pockets or on belts.

Poké Balls presumably can communicate with a Trainer's [[Pokédex]], since the system updates itself with new captured Pokémon information, and keeps track of how many full Poké Balls the Trainer has on-hand. If the Trainer catches a new Pokémon while their team of six is full, it will be transported to the [[Pokémon storage system]] they are using. They also have the ability to "mark" their captures - as shown in ''[[DP002|Two Degrees of Separation]]'', when Dawn attempts to capture [[Ash's Pikachu]] - so that they cannot be captured by other Poké Balls after captures. This has shown some inconsistency in the series, particularly in older episodes such as in ''[[EP073|Bad to the Bone]]'' when Jessie throws a Poké Ball at [[Otoshi]]'s Doduo which has to be reflected by Otoshi himself, like in the games.

When a Pokémon is released from its ball, it usually has a burst of light come out with it, which varies depending on the Ball the Pokémon is contained in (normally a white light in the anime).
[[Image:RealeasingPokemon.png|thumb|Sending out a Pokémon in {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}]]
However, when a [[Ball Capsule]] and [[seal]]s are used, visual effects will accompany the Pokémon's release. It has also been shown that if a Pokémon is sent out with a blue light, that Pokémon will be released and will be able to go back into the wild (in the anime, one can also break the Poké Ball, like in the cases of [[Brock]] and [[Jessie]], while releasing {{p|Ninetales}} and {{TP|Jessie|Dustox}}, respectively.)

==Poké Ball accuracy==
Poké Balls obviously do not always succeed in capturing the Pokémon (except where Master Balls are concerned), but in some cases, it's possible for a Poké Ball to not even come into contact with the wild Pokémon.

*In [[Generation I]], there was a chance that a Poké Ball could miss the target, the message coming up "You missed the Pokémon!". This usually happens within the [[Kanto Safari Zone|Safari Zone]] or while battling a {{p|Chansey}}, {{p|Snorlax}} or [[Legendary Pokémon]]. In the case of the Legendary Pokémon, a [[status ailment]] such as [[Paralysis]] would need to be inflicted upon it in order for the thrown Ball to hit its target.
*In [[Lavender Town]]'s [[Pokémon Tower]], the [[Literal ghost|ghosts]] would dodge any thrown ball, as would the ghost of the {{p|Marowak}} (even after being unmasked by the [[Silph Scope]]).
*In [[Generation IV]], if in a [[double battle]] with two wild Pokémon and one of the five partners, the player needs to knock out one of the Pokémon before attempting to capture the other. If not, the game does not allow either to be captured, with the message of "It's no good! It's impossible to aim when there are two Pokémon!" This is a contradiction to {{g|Colosseum}} and {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}}, in which it is possible to snag a Pokémon even when there are two on the opponent's side of the field, although it's possible that the abilities of the [[Snag Machine]] somehow negated this issue.

These Poké Balls were first introduced in Generation I and have appeared in each game since, with the exception of the Safari Ball which did not appear in the second Generation of games.

The Poké Ball is considered the most basic and universal form of Ball. Nearly every [[Poké Mart]] carries it or one of its two upgrades, the Great Ball and Ultra Ball. The only known place where these three Balls are not plentiful is [[Orre]], due to its lack of wild Pokémon. With the discovery of [[Poké Spot]]s, however, they are becoming more commonly available in this region as well.

The Master Ball is the final and best upgrade of the Poké Ball, as well as the most rare. It was developed by [[Silph Co.]], but only a few were created before [[Team Rocket]] invaded and the project was discontinued. Master Balls are now given only to esteemed Pokémon researchers. Because of this, only one can be found normally in each game (though it can be won in all other generations after the first; it is the grand prize for the [[Lucky Channel|Lucky Number show]], [[Lilycove Department Store|Lilycove City's Lottery]], and at [[Jubilife TV]]). It could be sold for {{PDollar}}0 in Generations I and II, but in later Generations the Poké Marts would refuse it.

The Safari Ball is the only one of the original Poké Ball forms that is not considered one of the basic Poké Ball types. When playing a game in the [[Safari Zone]], thirty of these will be provided to capture Pokémon with. If the game ends before all thirty are used, the remainder are returned when leaving the Safari Zone. It is as strong as a Great Ball, but catching Pokémon is often more difficult with it due to the fact that there are no formal {{pkmn|battle}}s with Pokémon in the Safari Zone.

=====Super Smash Bros. Series=====
Normal Poké Balls are also an item in the ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' series. When thrown, on top of doing a small amount of damage to any opposing character they may hit, they release a randomly selected Pokémon.

=====[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]] Trophy information=====
These balls are used to capture and contain wild Pokémon. Most Pokémon must be weakened in some way before they can be captured, but once they're inside a Poké Ball, they enjoy their new home, since Poké Balls contain an environment specially designed for Pokémon comfort. Master Balls are the strongest type.

====In the anime====
[[File:Poké Ball anime.png|thumb|A Poké Ball in the anime]]
Beyond any doubt, the original Poké Ball is the most commonly used type of Ball in the anime. The vast majority of Pokémon are stored in regular Poké Balls, to the point that large collections of Poké Balls can be seen with no variations among them. Even [[Ash's Pikachu]], which spends all of its time out of its Poké Ball, is shown to have a regular Poké Ball with a little lightning bolt drawn on it in ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]''. On the other hand, the Great Ball and Ultra Ball upgrades are very rare or even non-existent.
[[File:Master ball.png|left|thumb|[[Sullivan]]'s Master Ball]]
A Master Ball has been seen in ''[[AG075|Whiscash and Ash]]''. It was used by [[Sullivan]] in his attempt to capture a {{p|Whiscash}}. However, despite the fact that the Master Ball cannot be escaped from, he did not catch the Whiscash; instead, the Pokémon swallowed it whole and escaped back into the water. However, much time prior, a Master Ball sort of appeared, albeit as a beach ball in ''[[EP018|Beauty and the Beach]]'', and after in ''[[EP167|A Hot Water Battle]]''.

Safari Balls were seen in [[EP035]]. In this episode, {{Ash}} received thirty with which he could capture Safari Zone Pokémon. However, despite his best efforts to catch other Pokémon, he ended up using all thirty to capture a herd of {{AP|Tauros}}. They appeared in Safari Balls in ''[[EP065|Showdown at the Po-Ké Corral]]''; however, in all subsequent airings they have been in regular Poké Balls.

[[Image:Rice Ball Poké Ball.jpg|right|thumb|A [[rice ball]] inside Ash's Poké Ball]]
Occasionally, an [[item]] will be caught instead of a [[Pokémon]], such as a [[rice ball]] or something else that would be smaller than the Poké Ball. The greatest example, if not the only, is when {{Ash}} tried catching [[Ash's Primeape|Mankey]] in ''[[EP025|Primeape Goes Bananas]]''. These, however, are just jokes. For example, in a commercial for [[Kids' WB!]], Ash caught a talking sock singing that Ash couldn't catch him.

If a Poké Ball is used to try to capture a human, the human will get shocked with electricity instead of being captured.

Named in ''[[H014|Journey to the Starting Line]]'', the Poké Ball a Pokémon is temporarily held in before being given to beginning [[Pokémon Trainer]]s is called a "starter Poké Ball". In the anime only, a Pokémon is held in one of these temporary containments which do not 'mark' the Pokémon, so it can then be assigned to one of the six regular Poké Balls given to the Trainer. Starter Poké Balls look identical to regular Poké Balls, but are occasionally marked with some form of identification, such as a lightning-bolt or writing, such as the one which held [[Ash's Pikachu]]. In the games, however, the player is simply given 5 Poké Balls plus the Pokémon, already assigned a ball.

If a Poké Ball should crack or break, it must be taken to a [[Pokémon Center]] to be repaired, or the Pokémon must be registered to a new ball as seen in ''[[EP107|Pokémon Food Fight!]]''. Wealthier trainers or pet Pokémon owners may also purchase fancy Poké Balls. These balls are only cosmetically modified, and treated like fine jewelry. [[Meowzie]]'s owner purchased a diamond-studded ball for her in ''[[EP070|Go West, Young Meowth]]'' as seen in {{MTR}}'s flashback.

The Park Ball is much like the Safari Ball absent in the Generation II games, including being equal to a Great Ball in strength. It is used in the [[National Park]] during their [[Bug-Catching Contest]]. Twenty Park Balls are provided for this, and the Pokémon can be battled before they are captured. However, while all twenty balls can be used and catch Pokémon before the contest ends, only one Pokémon can be kept for the contest judging.

Most of the Poké Balls available in Generation II, however, are the custom Poké Balls crafted by [[Kurt]]. This Poké Ball expert can be found in [[Azalea Town]], and once per day he will craft an [[Apricorn]] into a special Poké Ball based on its color. Because of the much larger variety of Poké Balls available, Generation II was the first generation to introduce a [[bag]] with a separate pocket for Poké Balls.

====In the anime====
In ''[[EP161|The Bug Stops Here]]'', {{Ash}} and {{an|Casey}} compete in the Bug-Catching Contest and use Park Balls to capture {{t|Bug}} Pokémon. Ash wins the contest with a {{TP|Casey|Beedrill}}, but gives it to Casey instead.

The custom Apricorn Poké Balls were seen and used a few times during the anime. In ''[[EP143|Going Apricorn!]]'', Ash, [[Misty]], and [[Brock]] receive Fast Balls from Kurt, and by the end of the episode Brock uses his to capture [[Brock's Forretress|a Pineco]]. By the end of the next episode, ''[[EP144|Gettin' The Bugs Out]]'', Ash and Misty receive Lure Balls, and Brock receives a Heavy Ball. In ''[[EP151|The Totodile Duel]]'', both Ash and Misty tried to capture a {{AP|Totodile}} with their Lure Balls, with Ash succeeding. Later, in ''[[EP213|A Corsola Caper!]]'', Misty got a second chance to use her Lure Ball, capturing a {{TP|Misty|Corsola}} with it. The other two Fast Balls and the Heavy Ball were not seen or mentioned again, but a different Heavy Ball was used in ''[[AG065|Gulpin It Down!]]'' to capture a giant {{p|Gulpin}}.

====In [[Pokémon Special]]====
Both {{Special|Gold}} and {{Special|Silver}} received a Friend Ball and Heavy Ball, respectively. Kurt says that the Poké Balls would work only where its life energy is most concentrated.

All of the third generation Poké Balls were developed by the [[Devon Corporation]].

In this generation, the type of Ball used to capture a Pokémon was kept track of by the game itself, so that when Trainers sent out their Pokémon, the type of effect could vary. In this way, two Balls with the same effectiveness, such as the Safari Ball and Great Ball, or Poké Ball and Premier Ball, would differ.

In Generation III, the Luxury Ball is rare, second only to the Master Ball; however, it is available for normal purchase in Generation IV. One can be found on the [[Abandoned Ship]], and others can be obtained from winning Master Rank [[Pokémon Contests]]. It is also given in {{v2|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} by [[Selphy|Lady Selphy]] for showing her the Pokémon she asks for. Taking advantage of being able to track what kind of Ball a Pokémon is in, rather than applying a flat happiness bonus like the Friend Ball did, it heightens the rate at which the [[Happiness]] of the Pokémon captured with it increases.

The Premier Ball is given with every purchase of ten or more Poké Balls in [[Hoenn]], [[Orre]], and [[Sinnoh]] Poké Marts. However, it is not different from regular Poké Balls in any manner except appearance.

The Net Ball and Dive Ball can only be purchased at the Poké Mart in [[Mossdeep City]]. This is likely due to the city's high affiliation with the {{type2|Water}}. It can also be obtained from the Fishing Guru's younger brother in [[Silence Bridge]] after showing him a {{p|Magikarp}}.

The Nest Ball can only be purchased at the Poké Mart in [[Verdanturf Town]].

The Repeat Ball and Timer Ball can be purchased in [[Rustboro City]] after going through [[Rusturf Tunnel]] from [[Verdanturf Town]] for the first time, or from {{DL|Two Island (town)|Market Stall|Two Island Market Stall}} after saving [[Lostelle]], beating the {{ka|Elite Four}}, buying every item in the stall at least once and then leaving and returning to the area.

All Poké Balls released in [[Generation I]] are available as well.

====In the anime====
The Luxury Ball and the Repeat Ball made a short cameo appearance in the beginning of ''[[Jirachi: Wish Maker]]'', containing {{ga|Brendan}}'s {{p|Aggron}} and {{p|Shiftry}}.

===[[Generation IV]] Poké Balls===
====In the games====
Five new Poké Balls were introduced in the Generation IV games.

All of the Generation I and Generation III Poké Balls are also available, though the Dive Ball can only be obtained randomly through the man in [[Solaceon Town]] upon showing him the Pokémon he asks for, or transferred ahead held by a Pokémon via [[Pal Park]]. The Park Ball is used as a temporary containment for show. It is the only Poké Ball (aside from the [[Snag Ball]]) with the ability to override another Poké Ball's "mark" on a Pokémon. After capture, the Pokémon is put into the Poké Ball it was captured in. Whether the Park Ball would work on a regular [[wild Pokémon]] not already captured is not known.

Cherish Balls cannot be acquired for use without [[cheating]]; instead, they contain Pokémon distributed at {{pkmn2|event}}s.

Luxury Balls function differently in this generation: they can be bought, and the factor the happiness is increased by varies with the event. For details, see [[Happiness#Generation IV|this page]].
 

===In the manga===
[[Image:Seadraspe.PNG|thumb|right|{{Special|Yellow}}'s {{p|Seadra}}'s Poké Ball in [[Pokémon Special]]]]
[[Image:Pkballdengeki.PNG|thumb|right|A Poké Ball in [[Electric Tale of Pikachu]]]]
In the [[Pokémon Special]] manga, one can see the miniature of the Pokémon inside the Poké Ball; the type of ball doesn't matter. Already captured Pokémon can be re-captured, as shown when Red re-catches Misty's Gyarados.

In the [[Electric Tale of Pikachu]] manga, however, the center of a Poké Ball has a small number to differentiate it from others.
In one chapter of this series, Ash suggests to have a large Poké Ball built as a trap to capture a giant Haunter (Black Fog). The plan succeeded, but Haunter used Explosion from inside, destroying the trap in the process.

==Other Poké Balls==
These Poké Balls are found outside of the standard games. They are often too unusual to fit in with other groups of Poké Balls, and some are so unusual that it is questionable if they even qualify as Poké Balls. Most of these have separate articles, which describe their unique properties in greater detail.

===In the games===
; [[Pester Ball]]s
: Seen in {{g|Snap}}, this unusual Poké Ball cannot catch Pokémon. Instead, it releases an irritating gas.

; [[GS Ball]]
: Seen in {{game|Crystal}}, this Poké Ball cannot catch Pokémon. Instead, it is a special item that can be used to make {{p|Celebi}} appear in the [[Ilex Forest]].

; [[Snag Ball]]s
: Though not a Poké Ball in its own right, this is seen in {{pkmn|Colosseum}} and {{Pokémon XD}}. It is a ball that has been modified using the [[Snag Machine]]. It is capable of [[snagging]] a [[captured Pokémon]] during a [[Pokémon battle]] as if it were wild.

===In the anime===
; Pre-Poké Ball Objects
: There are multiple artifacts and antiques which have similar properties to modern Poké Balls but are not technically the same thing - some, in fact, are not even balls. These range from unusual artifacts found in the ancient city of [[Pokémopolis]] which contain [[Giant Pokémon]] inside (seen in ''[[EP072|The Ancient Puzzle of Pokémopolis]]'') to antique Poké Balls which look similar to their modern-day equivalents but have an altered design and are made from a more fragile material (seen in ''[[EP232|Just Waiting On a Friend]]''). Given that these were made before the development of the technology used in modern Poké Balls, the workings behind these objects are a mystery. Another early Poké Ball design is seen in [[Pokémon 4Ever]] when [[Sam]] uses a Poké Ball brought from his own time with a lock on its button to call out his {{p|Charmeleon}}. This model seems to be much closer to the modern design. Hollowed-out Apricorn berries, much like [[Kurt]]'s custom Poké Balls, may also have been used in the past to hold Pokémon.

[[Image:Green pokeball.JPG|thumb|200px|A green Poké Ball]]
; Green Poké Balls
: Official name unknown. In ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', in the [[Pokémon League]] {{pkmn|battle}} seen at the very start of the episode, one Trainer, presumably [[Bruno]], throws out a green Poké Ball which contains an {{p|Onix}}. This was the first Poké Ball seen in the anime. No details on this Poké Ball were given, and its color has never been explained; shortly after in the episode, regular red Poké Balls are used.

: Interestingly, [[Brendan]]'s {{v2|Ruby and Sapphire|s}} artwork depicts him holding a green Poké Ball. The reason for this is also unknown.

; Solid Gold Poké Balls
: There are not actually any solid gold Poké Balls in the Pokémon world. However, the idea is often used to fool greedy criminals like [[Brodie]] in ''[[AG119|The Ribbon Cup Caper]]'' or gullible consumers like [[James]] in ''[[EP015|Battle Aboard the St. Anne]]''.

; Mewtwo's Poké Balls/Clone Balls
: Marked by an eerie eye incorporated into their design, these Poké Balls were created and used by {{an|Mewtwo}} in ''[[Mewtwo Strikes Back]]''. They can be moved around easily with Mewtwo's {{t|Psychic}} powers, and they can capture any Pokémon, including those which have already been captured by a Trainer, and Pokémon which are already inside their Poké Balls. Mewtwo used these to gather Pokémon to be cloned. Mewtwo's Poké Balls do not make the same sound as regular Poké Balls when they open, but otherwise their function is the same. Some Pokémon fans on the Internet refer to them as '''Shadow Balls''', but this is misleading because this type of Poké Ball has nothing to do with [[Shadow Pokémon]]; '''Shadow Ball''' is also the name of {{m|Shadow Ball|a Ghost-type Pokémon move}} first seen in the same movie.

; [[GS Ball]]
: This was in the possession of [[Professor Ivy]], who gave it to {{Ash}}, who in turn gave it to [[Kurt]] to study. It was revealed in a 2008 interview that the GS Ball was actually meant to catch a {{p|Celebi}}, but when it was determined that the [[Pokemon 4Ever|fourth movie]] would feature Celebi, it was decided that it would be left with Kurt so viewers would forget about it. There is a large amount of fan speculation as to what purpose it holds. It bears a striking resemblance with the Park Ball (seen above).

; Lake Balls
[[Image:Lake_Ball.jpg|The Seaking Catching Competition announcer holding a Lake Ball|thumb]]
: These balls were used only in the [[Seaking Catching Day|Seaking Catching Competition]], similar to the Park Balls used in the Bug-Catching Contest. They only appeared in ''[[EP168|Hook, Line, and Stinker]]'', and have not been seen since. They appear as blue and white Poké Balls, with a fish pattern around the edge, and a yellow arrow on the top and bottom of the ball.
[[Image:Vicious.jpg|thumb|200px|[[Vicious]] holding a Dark Ball]]
; [[Dark Ball]]s
: These were used by [[The Iron Masked Marauder]] in ''[[Pokémon 4Ever]]''. Presumably technology of [[Team Rocket]], these Poké Balls will take over the mind of any Pokémon caught by them, making them turn into mindless servants of whoever caught them, as well as raise them to the highest level. These were used to capture multiple Pokémon, including {{p|Celebi}}. The Poké Balls were quite powerful in the movie as one of them was used to catch a {{p|Tyranitar}} without any problem.
[[Image:Chansey PokeBall.PNG|right|200px|thumb|A disguised [[Nurse Joy]] holding [[Nurse Joy's Chansey|her Chansey's]] Poké Ball]]

; Crystal Poké Balls
:These were created by the {{OBP|Unown|Spell of the Unown}} for [[Molly Hale|Molly]] to battle with during ''[[Spell of the Unown]]''.

; Rocket Poké Balls
:These were used in ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]'', and look like normal Poké Balls but black with a red "R" on them. Hundreds were used by the many Rockets in the special.

; {{p|Chansey}} Poké Balls
: Used by a [[Nurse Joy]] in ''[[EP042|Showdown at Dark City]]''.

; Other Poké Balls
: In ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', {{AP|Pikachu}}'s Poké Ball has a small lightning bolt mark on the top half of the ball, presumably added by [[Professor Oak]] to differentiate it from the Pokémon he would usually hand out as [[starter Pokémon|starters]].

:[[Ritchie]]'s Poké Balls bear a star-shaped sticker on the top half, so that he knows which ones are his if needed.

; Other uses of Poké Balls in the anime
: When {{Ash}} and {{Gary}} break a rusty, old Poké Ball they fished out of a pond, they each keep a piece as a symbol of their rivalry.

:Poké Balls are used in several places to symbolize Pokémon; for example, the {{ho|Battle Frontier}} logo, either three entwined Poké Balls, or alternatively, half a stylized Poké Ball, as seen on Ash's {{series|Advanced Generation}} and {{series|Diamond & Pearl}} caps.

:A Poké Ball design marks the floor of most Pokémon Centers. Sometimes the roofs are also designed to look like a Poké Ball.

:The first Pokédex entry given in the anime was for the Poké Ball: "While being trained, a Pokémon usually stays inside its Poké Ball. However, there are many exceptions. [[Ash's Pikachu|Some Pokémon]] hate being confined. To capture a Pokémon, you ''usually'' have your own Pokémon battle with the other."
 

===In the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game|TCG]]===
[[Image:Aqua - Aqua Ball.jpg|thumb|right|An Aqua Ball|150px]][[Image:Magma - Magma Ball.jpg|thumb|right|A Magma Ball|150px]]
; {{TCG ID|Expedition|Dual Ball|139}}
: This ball is found in {{TCG|Expedition Base Set}}, {{TCG|EX Team Magma vs Team Aqua}}, {{TCG|EX Delta Species}}, and {{TCG|EX Crystal Guardians}}.

; {{TCG ID|EX Team Magma vs Team Aqua|Team Aqua Ball|75}}
: This ball is found in {{TCG|EX Team Magma vs Team Aqua}}.

; {{TCG ID|EX Team Magma vs Team Aqua|Team Magma Ball|80}}
: This ball is found in {{TCG|EX Team Magma vs Team Aqua}}.

; {{TCG ID|EX Team Rocket Returns|Rocket's Poké Ball|89}}
: This ball is found in {{TCG|EX Team Rocket Returns}}.

* Also, on the card '''Lt. Surge's Secret Plan''', [[Lt. Surge]] is seen holding a Master Ball. The significance of this is unknown.

==Trivia==

*In the handheld games, items are found in what appear to be normal Poké Balls; however, the console games choose to use large Poké Ball shaped chests for this purpose.
*Some [[Generation III]] Poké Balls are similar in function to some [[Generation II]] Poké Balls: Nest Ball is better for catching low-level Pokémon like the Level Ball, the Dive Ball is good for catching Pokémon found on the water like the Lure Ball, and the Luxury Ball raises happiness quicker like the Friend Ball.
*In {{wp|Super Mario Galaxy}}, there is a galaxy named Buoy Base Galaxy which has a big sphere above it that looks very similar to a Poké Ball. It even has a button in the middle of it.

{{StrategyWiki}}
'''Pokémon FireRed Version''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスターファイアレッド''' ''Pocket Monsters Firered'') and '''Pokémon LeafGreen Version''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスターリーフグリーン''' ''Pocket Monsters Leafgreen'') are [[Generation III]] games that are set in [[Kanto]], with the addition of the [[Sevii Islands]].

These versions are remakes of [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions]], and include many of the same characters, plot elements, and challenges, but with several important upgrades, including:
* Pokémon now have [[Natures]], [[Ability|Abilities]], genders, and can hold items.
* Pokémon like {{p|Golbat}} can evolve into [[Generation II]] forms (after acquiring the [[National Pokédex]]).
* Pokémon can [[Pokémon breeding|breed]] (after acquiring the Rainbow Pass).
* Trainers in the outdoors can be rechallenged using the [[VS Seeker]].
* Information on important characters can be stored in the [[Fame Checker]].
* New region that includes Pokémon (and music) once only available in [[Johto]], known as the [[Sevii Islands]].
* Pokémon can learn [[Generation II]] and [[Generation III]] moves.
* [[Move Tutor|Move Tutors]] now teach moves once available from the original [[Generation I]] [[TM]]s.
* Generation III [[TM]]s are used instead of the Generation I TM set.
* The [[Elite Four]] can be rechallenged and have new Pokémon on their teams.
* The player can choose a {{ga|Red|boy character}} or a {{ga|Leaf|girl character}}.
* Version-exclusive Pokémon have been slightly altered to account for new evolutions.
* {{m|Blast Burn}}, {{m|Frenzy Plant}}, and {{m|Hydro Cannon}} became available.
* Location of some wild Pokémon has been altered.
* {{p|Deoxys}} has a different appearance and base stats — an Attack Forme in FireRed and a Defense Forme in LeafGreen.
* [[Team Rocket]] has a new branch on the Sevii Islands, based in the [[Rocket Warehouse]].

Also initially included in the box with every game was one [[GBA Wireless Adapter]], eliminating the need for link cables when trading between the two games (and later [[Pokémon Emerald Version|Emerald]]).

These games were named for the original two Pokémon games, [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions]], and feature the same [[Version mascots|Pokémon on the boxart]] as their [[Generation I]] counterparts. Oddly, even in regions where the Red version was paired up with the Blue version instead of the Green version, LeafGreen was not changed into a Blue version. However, Nintendo did trademark a WaterBlue title, suggesting that this may have been considered.

== Plot ==
The plot essentially follows the same storyline as [[Generation I]], with the player beginning in [[Pallet Town]]. After meeting [[Professor Oak]] while trying to leave for {{rt|1}}, both the player and his or her [[rival]] are asked by Oak to choose a [[starter Pokémon]], {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, or {{p|Squirtle}}, from the desk near him. Allowing the player to choose first, the rival quickly gets jealous, chooses the starter whose [[type]] weakens that of the player's, and challenges the player to a battle.

After the rival/player is defeated, Oak allows the two new trainers to leave for their journey across [[Kanto]]. Stopping off in [[Viridian City]]'s [[Poké Mart]], the player will find that a [[Oak's Parcel|package]] has come in for the professor, and the clerk asks that it be delivered to him. After this has been completed, the professor gives two Pokédexes, one for the player, and one for the rival, away to them, and sends them on their way. Viridian has a Gym, however, it is locked.

From here, the player has their first encounter with other trainers, on {{rt|2}} and in [[Viridian Forest]], and their first encounter with a [[Gym Leader]]: [[Brock]] the {{type2|Rock}} Gym Leader of [[Pewter City]]. After his defeat, journeying along {{rt|3}} and through [[Mt. Moon]] brings the player face to face with the heinous [[Team Rocket]], attempting to extract rare [[fossils]] from the cave. Their defeat allows the player to continue through the cave and onto {{rt|4}}, which leads directly into [[Cerulean City]], where another [[Gym]] is. This one, however, is run by [[Misty]], and specializes on {{type2|Water}} Pokémon. To the north, as well, there are two [[route]]s leading up to [[Bill]]'s cottage, where he will give the player a ticket for the [[S.S. Anne]], a luxury ship moored in [[Vermilion City|Vermilion]] Harbor and filled with trainers. Taking a shortcut through a house burglarized by Team Rocket, the player finally arrives at {{rt|5}}.

After traveling down Routes 5 and {{rtn|6}}, using the [[Underground Path (Routes 5-6)|Underground Path]] to bypass [[Saffron City]], the player finally arrives in Vermilion. This city is home to another Pokémon Gym, however, the way to it is blocked by a small tree! The only thing to do is to show the ticket to the [[Sailor]] guarding the harbor, allowing entry into the S.S. Anne. It is here, after assisting the captain with his seasickness, that the player will obtain the first of the seven [[Hidden Machine]]s available in the game, containing {{m|Cut}}. With this, and the [[Badge#Cascade Badge|Cascade Badge]], the tree blocking the way to Vermilion Gym is a goner, and [[Lt. Surge]], a Gym Leader specializing in {{type2|Electric}}s, can be challenged. From here, {{rt|11}} beckons, as does [[Diglett's Cave]], through which is the only way to get back to {{rt|2}}, and a second HM, containing {{m|Flash}}. Then it's back to Cerulean and to the east, onto {{rt|9}} and towards the [[Rock Tunnel]].

Rock Tunnel, a still undeveloped natural tunnel between the sections of {{rt|10}}, is pitch black inside; for this reason, Flash is recommended, but not required, for navigation of it. Finally reaching [[Lavender Town]], the only town in Kanto without a Pokémon Gym besides Pallet, there is not much to do; the local [[Pokémon Tower]] is haunted. From here, {{rt|8}} leads to Saffron City, but it again must be bypassed by way of another [[Underground Path (Routes 7-8)|Underground Path]], which has its other entrance on {{rt|7}}, on the west side of Saffron. [[Celadon City]], the home of the fourth Gym, specializing in {{type2|Grass}} Pokémon is just a short walk further. Like the Vermilion Gym, the Celadon Gym also has a small tree blocking the way to its entrance, and a perverted old man outside.

After stopping off at the [[Celadon Mansion]] and getting some [[Tea]], Saffron City can finally be entered. However, Team Rocket is guarding every door in the city, including that of the local Pokémon Gym! The city's centerpiece building, [[Silph Co.]]'s headquarters, has also been infiltrated by the organization, and at the top, waiting in the boardroom, is the Team Rocket Boss, [[Giovanni]], demanding that the president give him the [[Master Ball]] that the company had developed. After his defeat, he flees.

The Gym is now open, and its Leader, [[Sabrina]], specializes in {{type2|Psychic}}s. The floor, as well, is covered in warp tiles that make it difficult to navigate. After Sabrina's defeat, all that is left to do is deal with the ghosts in Lavender's Pokémon Tower, and to do that, one needs a [[Silph Scope]].

The [[Rocket Game Corner]] in Celadon is not what it appears to be. In fact, the game corner itself is merely the aboveground portion of a sprawling underground complex: the [[Rocket Hideout (Celadon City)|Rocket Hideout]]. It is here that Giovanni appears a second time, and after his defeat, flees to parts unknown, leaving behind a Silph Scope.

After this, the Pokémon Tower can be navigated, and the ghosts haunting it are revealed to be {{p|Gastly}} and {{p|Haunter}}. Near to the top, blocking the way, is also a final spirit, that of a deceased {{p|Marowak}} that was killed by Team Rocket when they captured her child. Making it all the way to the top reveals [[Mr. Fuji]] held hostage by Team Rocket grunts, who will leave when they are defeated. Fuji gives away the [[Poké Flute]], and with that, the {{p|Snorlax}} blocking {{rt|11}} and {{rt|16}} can finally be moved away. Another HM, containing {{m|Fly}}, can be obtained easily by cutting away a tree blocking the northern section of Route 16.

Traveling down either way the Snorlax are blocking, a faster way via Routes 16, {{rtn|17}}, and {{rtn|18}} on {{ka|Cycling Road}}, or down the [[Silence Bridge]] of Routes {{rtn|12}}, {{rtn|13}}, {{rtn|14}}, and {{rtn|15}}, inevitably brings one to the southernmost city in continental Kanto, [[Fuchsia City]], home of [[Koga]] of the {{t|Poison}}ous Fuchsia Gym and the [[Kanto Safari Zone]]. The Safari Zone is currently running a contest: the person to reach a specific rest house first will win yet another HM, containing {{m|Surf}}. Finding [[Warden Slowpoke]]'s [[Gold Teeth]] also will have him reward the player with the final of Kanto's HMs, containing {{m|Strength}}.

With six badges in hand, and five HMs in the [[TM Case]], finally the player can adventure onto the open sea of Routes {{rtn|19}} and {{rtn|20}}. A short way across them, of course, is a minor obstacle: the [[Seafoam Islands]]. After they have been navigated through, the player can continue on Route 20 to [[Cinnabar Island]], home of [[Blaine]]'s {{type2|Fire}} Gym. There are also several more facilities on the island, including one that actually revives Pokémon [[fossils]]. After Blaine's defeat, [[Bill]] shows up again, because he needs help in a region east of Kanto, the [[Sevii Islands]]. If the player accepts, the [[Seagallop Ferry]] will travel to [[One Island (town)|One Island]], where a friend of Bill's, [[Celio]], is attempting to connect the islands' PC system to that of Kanto. During this, there is also a crisis in [[Two Island (town)|Two Island]], where the daughter of the owner of the [[Joyful Game Corner]] has gone missing, and in [[Three Island (town)|Three Island]] where a group of invading [[Biker]]s are causing trouble. After defeating them and finding the lost girl, [[Lostelle]], who is in [[Berry Forest]], Bill and the player will return to Kanto, where the final Gym, that of Viridian City, lies.

Finally unlocked, the Gym, whose leader specializes in {{type2|Ground}}s, is revealed to be none other than the boss of Team Rocket himself, [[Giovanni]]! After his defeat, he vows to disband Team Rocket and disappears. Now with eight badges, all that lies ahead is the [[Pokémon League]] at the [[Indigo Plateau]], conveniently at the end of {{rt|23}}.

The [[Elite Four]] await challengers, those who have proven themselves worthy by getting all eight badges and making it through {{ka|Victory Road}} will face them, in order. [[Lorelei]], who trains {{type2|Ice}} Pokémon is first, followed by [[Bruno]], whose specialty is {{t|Fighting}}, [[Agatha]], whose specialty is {{t|Ghost}}, and finally [[Lance]], whose specialty is {{t|Dragon}}. After these four, the reigning [[Pokémon champion]] is the final battle, and it is none other than the player's own rival. After his defeat, Oak arrives and tells the player that they care better for their Pokémon, and the player's current [[party]] are added to the [[Hall of Fame]].

After the credits roll, the player is back in Pallet Town, however, there is still more to do. There is some more work that Celio needs to do on his network machine, as he wishes to link to yet another region. The signal, however, is not strong enough, and he needs the Ruby and the Sapphire, two items found in the Sevii Islands, to strengthen it. The Ruby is found deep in a cave in [[Mt. Ember]], which Team Rocket grunts have been seen fooling around with. The Sapphire lies at the deepest part of the [[Dotted Hole]] in [[Ruin Valley]]. The Ruby can be given to Celio without a hitch, however, the Sapphire, when found, is stolen by a [[Scientist]] named [[Gideon]], who takes it back to Team Rocket's [[Rocket Warehouse|warehouse]] in the [[Five Isle Meadow]]. By infiltrating the warehouse and defeating the remaining Rocket Admins, they realize that Giovanni has disbanded Team Rocket. They do, however, vow to return one day, and bring Team Rocket back to its glory. Gideon reluctantly gives back the Sapphire, and after this, trades are possible with the [[Hoenn]]-based [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire|Ruby, Sapphire]], and {{v2|Emerald}}. The Elite Four can once again be challenged, and their Pokémon are 12 levels higher (Blue's levels are 10 higher). [[Cerulean Cave]], as well, is now open, and the powerful {{p|Mewtwo}} can be found there.

==Trivia==
[[Image:Thetruckreturns.png|thumb|right|Oh, great. It's back.]]
*The LeafGreen Pokédex entries are the same as those in the original Red and Blue Versions (as well as [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|the Japanese Blue version]]) for the {{cat|Generation I Pokémon|151 Kanto Pokémon}}. The FireRed entries for the same Pokémon are the same as those in the original {{2v2|Red|Green}}, which were previously not translated into English or other languages.
**The LeafGreen entries were also used for the [[Meister|international Pokédex entries]] featured in [[Generation IV]].
*The Pokédex entries for most of the {{cat|Generation II Pokémon}} are the same as those in Gold and Silver, with Silver's entries being in FireRed and Gold's being in LeafGreen.
*[[S.S. Anne#Rumors|The truck]], long rumored to have a Poké Ball containing Mew under it, appears again as scenery near the S.S. Anne. This time around, however, following the instructions of the rumors of old will, in fact, get the player a [[Lava Cookie]].
*It may be worth noting that there are a number of in-game references to the [[Generation II]] games (such as a new reference to the bridge in front of Bill's House as a prime dating spot, and the character of [[Janine|Charine]]), prompting some speculation that the second generation games may receive a [[Pokémon Gold and Silver remakes|remake]], much like [[Generation I]] did. While some evidence exists, there is no real certainty.
*Within the game's code, there is a piece of text that reads, "By the way, if you like this game, buy it or die.". Said text actually does appear within the ROM of the game when using a [[Seagallop Ferry]] as an anti-piracy measure (albeit an empty threat as well). Several ROM dumpers have verified this is not something inserted by a third-party.

'''Red''' (Japanese: '''レッド''') is the main playable character in the [[Generation I]] games and is the male choice in their [[Generation III]] remakes. In Generation III, his female counterpart is [[Leaf (game)|Leaf]].

==Story==
Red is a curious 11-year-old boy from [[Pallet Town]]. The [[Generation I]] instruction booklets explain that Red became interested in Pokémon after his best friend, [[Blue (game)|Blue]], stopped playing with him and became a bully. His adventure begins one day when [[Professor Oak]] calls the two of them to his lab and gives them each a [[Starter Pokémon|choice of Pokémon]]. Blue challenges Red to a [[Pokémon battle]] as soon as they get their Pokémon. A bit later, Professor Oak calls the two back, gives them each a [[Pokédex]], and sends them on a journey to fulfil his dream of capturing every type of Pokémon.

Red travels all over Kanto, filling in the [[Pokédex]] and defeating [[Gym Leader]]s. His [[rival]] Blue constantly stays one step ahead, and shows up quite a few times to impede his progress. When Red eventually reaches the [[Elite Four]], he finds that Blue has beaten him to a milestone yet again and has become the [[Indigo League|league]] [[Pokémon champion|champion]]. Red defeats Blue in the final battle, and becomes the champion himself.
[[Image:Game character red.png|thumb|left|Red from Generation I]]
Red's main conflict in the games, aside from Blue, is [[Team Rocket]], an infamous group of Pokémon thieves. Red clashes with [[Team Rocket]] many times in his quest. He defeats a group of grunts at [[Mt. Moon]] who are attempting to steal rare Pokémon [[fossil]]s, and defeats another group ahead at a bridge in [[Cerulean City]]. Red protects the [[Pokémon Tower]] and [[Mr. Fuji]] in [[Lavender Town]] and destroys their hold on the [[Celadon Game Corner|Game Corner]]. After he foils their plot to take over [[Silph Co.]], Red encounters [[Giovanni]], the leader of Team Rocket, as the final Gym Leader in [[Viridian City]]. Upon defeating him, Red stops the group's world domination plots once and for all, though a few remaining grunts, many who appeared and were defeated by Red on [[Chrono Island]] in [[Generation III]], would band together in [[Johto]] to try and revive the group.

By the [[Generation II]] games, Red is no longer the Champion and [[Lance]] has taken his place. Red's title is simply "[[Pokémon Trainer]]" in this Generation. He trains constantly on [[Mt. Silver]] and doesn't say anything to any {{pkmn|Trainer}}s he may come across. When {{ga|Gold}} or {{ga|Kris}} meets Red in Mt. Silver, Red has the strongest [[party]] of Pokémon (with static levels) an NPC opponent has ever had in the series.

Red also appears in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]] as the last trainer players face in the combined [[Gym Leader Castle]], after the defeat of all of the others.

==In the [[Super Smash Bros.]] series==
[[Image:Pokemon Trainer in Super Smash Bros. Brawl.jpg|left|thumb|Red about to switch Pokémon.]]
[[Image:Red Brawl.jpg|thumb|right|Red in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]] with his [[Pokémon]].]]
Red's hat actually was the first object that made an appearance in the Smash Bros. series, worn as one of the alternate outfits of {{p|Pikachu}}.

===Super Smash Bros. Brawl===
Red himself appears in Brawl, in his [[Generation III]] design, here named [[Pokémon Trainer]]. He stands in the background and sends his Pokémon into the fight, which are alternated between {{p|Squirtle}}, {{p|Ivysaur}}, and {{p|Charizard}} in that order; each is a member of one of the [[Kanto]] [[Starter Pokémon|starter]] [[evolution]] families. His main stage, as well as {{p|Pikachu}}'s, is [[Pokémon Stadium 2 (stage)|Pokémon Stadium 2]], [[Spear Pillar]] and [[Pokémon Stadium (stage)|Melee Stages: Pokémon Stadium]]. He is voiced by [[Michele Knotz]] in the English version and 半場友恵 ''[[Tomoe Hanba]]'' in the Japanese version.

Instead of fighting like other characters in the game, Red battles using his [[Party|team]]. Their moves are as follows. Note that all three Pokémon's Final Smashes combine to form [[Final Smash#Triple Finish|Triple Finish]].

In terms of gameplay, Squirtle is very quick and good at rapid-fire close range attacks. Ivysaur is a good all-around fighter with balanced range and abilities but is poor in mid-air maneuvers. Charizard is very powerful and its attacks have lots of knockback, but it is very slow - its flying and gliding abilities make it excellent at returning to the stage, however.
His Final Smash is [[Final Smash#Triple Finish|Triple Finish]].

====Subspace Emissary====
The Pokémon Trainer is first encountered by [[wp:Lucas (Mother 3)|Lucas]] in The Ruined Zoo. For most of the game, the two are paired together. Pokémon Trainer's mission is to capture Charizard and Ivysaur while Lucas's is to save Ness. On their way to the Ruins, the two are ambushed by {{wp|Wario}}, who is eventually defeated by the two. Later in The Ruined Hall, they are attacked by Galleom. Once defeated, it sets off a timer bomb. Lucas saves Pokémon Trainer and they are then both saved by {{wp|Meta Knight}} who carries them away from the explosion, which sucks up Wario's trophy into Subspace. From then on the two join him, [[wp:Fire Emblem|Marth, and Ike]] on their quest to take down the Subspace Army.

====[[wp:Metal Gear|Codec]] information (on Shadow Moses Island)====
*'''[[wp:Solid Snake|Solid Snake]]:''' ''"[[Pokémon Trainer]]... That's the guy giving [[Move|orders]] behind a Pokémon, right?"''
*'''[[wp:List of recurring Metal Gear characters#Roy Campbell|Roy Campbell]]:''' ''"Right, and this Pokémon Trainer is [[Captured Pokémon|controlling]] {{p|Squirtle}}, {{p|Ivysaur}}, and {{p|Charizard}}. They represent {{t|water}}, {{t|grass}}, and {{t|fire}}, and they're all [[Damage modification|powerful]]."''
*'''Solid Snake:''' ''"So he makes his Pokémon fight while he sits back and watches. Sounds like a good deal if you ask me."''
*'''Roy Campbell:''' ''"It's not like that, Snake. Those Pokémon wouldn't know what to do if the Pokémon Trainer [[Wild Pokémon|wasn't there giving orders]]. In every {{pkmn|battle}}, there's a soldier doing the fighting, and a commander telling him what to do. By working together as a [[Party|team]], they accomplish much more than either could on their own. So let's do this together, partner."''
*'''Solid Snake:''' ''"...Yeah... Whatever you say, Colonel."''

====Trophy information====
=====Pokémon Trainer=====
A person who [[Pokémon Breeder|raises Pokémon]] and [[Pokémon training|trains]] them as [[Party|partners]] in battle. In battle, a Trainer gives [[Move|orders]] to the Pokémon and uses [[item]]s. It's not an exaggeration to say {{pkmn|battle}}s can be won or lost on a Trainer's [[Damage modification#Critical hit|single strategic move]]. Trainers pour their [[Happiness|hearts]] into their Pokémon and share anger, sadness, and joy as they adventure in hopes of becoming [[Pokémon Master]]s.
=====Triple Finish=====
The Final Smash of the Pokémon Trainer. Squirtle, Ivysaur, and Charizard join forces to simultaneously use {{m|Hydro Pump}}, {{m|SolarBeam}}, and {{m|Fire Blast}}. This is the only time all three of them appear on the screen together, so this move boasts the strength of three in one. A window will appear on the screen, but don't worry about it.

==In the TFG==
{{TFG ID|Next Quest|Red|42}} appears as a common trainer figure in the launch set, {{TFG|Next Quest}}, of the [[Pokémon Trading Figure Game]].

==Counterparts==
[[Ash Ketchum]] from the [[anime]] and [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]] manga was designed based on Red. Furthermore, Ash's name comes from one of the optional names for Red. This has caused many fans to mistake Red for his anime counterpart. However, they are analogous but not the same and using one's name for the other is always a mistake. There are also many fans that believe that the main hero from [[Pokémon Yellow Version]] is Ash. This is also untrue. [[Pokémon Yellow Version|Yellow's]] protagonist is still Red but slightly redesigned to look more similar to Ash, much like the storyline was designed to be closer to the anime. In other words, Ash in the anime is based on Red in the game series, but this cannot imply after all that they are the same. Although this idea is of the most debatable topics in Pokémon, thinking about the analogy between the two characters is more convenient than considering them totally similar.

Another anime counterpart could be [[Ritchie]], another character with a [[Sparky|Pikachu]], who some see as a "perfect" manifestation of Ash, and a more closely-designed character to the original Red.

Other counterparts include {{Special|Red}} from Pokémon Special manga, [[Satoshi (Zensho)|Satoshi]] from [[Pokémon Zensho]] manga, [[Isamu Akai]] from [[Pocket Monsters (manga)|Pocket Monsters]] manga, who also made a cameo appearance in anime, and [[Shuu]] from [[Pokémon Get da ze!]] manga.

==Trivia==
*When Red is encountered in [[Mt. Silver]] during [[Generation II]], he has no speech, merely repeating an ellipsis before beginning the battle. This is a reference to the fact that during [[Generation I]] he is a silent protagonist, answering only "yes" or "no" questions. After he is defeated, the screen blacks out and he vanishes, a reference to the fact that as the player, Red would black out and awake in the last-used [[Pokémon Center]] when he ran out of Pokémon.
*Until the release of {{game|Platinum}}, Red's team was at the highest level of any normal Trainer battle in the games (this excludes the Battle Tower and Battle Frontier, along with Stadium games and the like). His {{p|Pikachu}} had been the highest-leveled Pokémon one can face, as well, one level higher than {{p|Arceus}} in the wild. However, with the release of Platinum, the levels of the player's {{ga|Pearl|rival}}'s Pokémon have been boosted. Eventually his [[starter Pokémon]] will be level 85, and he has three other Pokémon that equal or exceed the level of Red's Pikachu.
*In the [[Super Smash Bros.]] series, Pokémon Trainer is the first Pokémon character, other than {{p|Pikachu}}, that didn't need to be unlocked.
*An unused default name for Red in the [[Generation I]] games was "NINTEN". Conversely, [[Blue (game)|Blue]]'s unused default name is "SONY". While normally unviewable, changing a few addresses within the game's code can allow for these names to appear.[http://board.acmlm.org/thread.php?id=308&o=0&p=20]

'''Red''' (Japanese: '''レッド''') is the main playable character in the [[Generation I]] games and is the male choice in their [[Generation III]] remakes. In Generation III, his female counterpart is [[Leaf (game)|Leaf]].

==Story==
Red is a curious 11-year-old boy from [[Pallet Town]]. The [[Generation I]] instruction booklets explain that Red became interested in Pokémon after his best friend, [[Blue (game)|Blue]], stopped playing with him and became a bully. His adventure begins one day when [[Professor Oak]] calls the two of them to his lab and gives them each a [[Starter Pokémon|choice of Pokémon]]. Blue challenges Red to a [[Pokémon battle]] as soon as they get their Pokémon. A bit later, Professor Oak calls the two back, gives them each a [[Pokédex]], and sends them on a journey to fulfil his dream of capturing every type of Pokémon.

Red travels all over Kanto, filling in the [[Pokédex]] and defeating [[Gym Leader]]s. His [[rival]] Blue constantly stays one step ahead, and shows up quite a few times to impede his progress. When Red eventually reaches the [[Elite Four]], he finds that Blue has beaten him to a milestone yet again and has become the [[Indigo League|league]] [[Pokémon champion|champion]]. Red defeats Blue in the final battle, and becomes the champion himself.
[[Image:Game character red.png|thumb|left|Red from Generation I]]
Red's main conflict in the games, aside from Blue, is [[Team Rocket]], an infamous group of Pokémon thieves. Red clashes with [[Team Rocket]] many times in his quest. He defeats a group of grunts at [[Mt. Moon]] who are attempting to steal rare Pokémon [[fossil]]s, and defeats another group ahead at a bridge in [[Cerulean City]]. Red protects the [[Pokémon Tower]] and [[Mr. Fuji]] in [[Lavender Town]] and destroys their hold on the [[Celadon Game Corner|Game Corner]]. After he foils their plot to take over [[Silph Co.]], Red encounters [[Giovanni]], the leader of Team Rocket, as the final Gym Leader in [[Viridian City]]. Upon defeating him, Red stops the group's world domination plots once and for all, though a few remaining grunts, many who appeared and were defeated by Red on [[Chrono Island]] in [[Generation III]], would band together in [[Johto]] to try and revive the group.

By the [[Generation II]] games, Red is no longer the Champion and [[Lance]] has taken his place. Red's title is simply "[[Pokémon Trainer]]" in this Generation. He trains constantly on [[Mt. Silver]] and doesn't say anything to any {{pkmn|Trainer}}s he may come across. When {{ga|Gold}} or {{ga|Kris}} meets Red in Mt. Silver, Red has the strongest [[party]] of Pokémon (with static levels) an NPC opponent has ever had in the series.

Red also appears in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]] as the last trainer players face in the combined [[Gym Leader Castle]], after the defeat of all of the others.

==In the [[Super Smash Bros.]] series==
[[Image:Pokemon Trainer in Super Smash Bros. Brawl.jpg|left|thumb|Red about to switch Pokémon.]]
[[Image:Red Brawl.jpg|thumb|right|Red in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]] with his [[Pokémon]].]]
Red's hat actually was the first object that made an appearance in the Smash Bros. series, worn as one of the alternate outfits of {{p|Pikachu}}.

===Super Smash Bros. Brawl===
Red himself appears in Brawl, in his [[Generation III]] design, here named [[Pokémon Trainer]]. He stands in the background and sends his Pokémon into the fight, which are alternated between {{p|Squirtle}}, {{p|Ivysaur}}, and {{p|Charizard}} in that order; each is a member of one of the [[Kanto]] [[Starter Pokémon|starter]] [[evolution]] families. His main stage, as well as {{p|Pikachu}}'s, is [[Pokémon Stadium 2 (stage)|Pokémon Stadium 2]], [[Spear Pillar]] and [[Pokémon Stadium (stage)|Melee Stages: Pokémon Stadium]]. He is voiced by [[Michele Knotz]] in the English version and 半場友恵 ''[[Tomoe Hanba]]'' in the Japanese version.

Instead of fighting like other characters in the game, Red battles using his [[Party|team]]. Their moves are as follows. Note that all three Pokémon's Final Smashes combine to form [[Final Smash#Triple Finish|Triple Finish]].

In terms of gameplay, Squirtle is very quick and good at rapid-fire close range attacks. Ivysaur is a good all-around fighter with balanced range and abilities but is poor in mid-air maneuvers. Charizard is very powerful and its attacks have lots of knockback, but it is very slow - its flying and gliding abilities make it excellent at returning to the stage, however.
His Final Smash is [[Final Smash#Triple Finish|Triple Finish]].

====Subspace Emissary====
The Pokémon Trainer is first encountered by [[wp:Lucas (Mother 3)|Lucas]] in The Ruined Zoo. For most of the game, the two are paired together. Pokémon Trainer's mission is to capture Charizard and Ivysaur while Lucas's is to save Ness. On their way to the Ruins, the two are ambushed by {{wp|Wario}}, who is eventually defeated by the two. Later in The Ruined Hall, they are attacked by Galleom. Once defeated, it sets off a timer bomb. Lucas saves Pokémon Trainer and they are then both saved by {{wp|Meta Knight}} who carries them away from the explosion, which sucks up Wario's trophy into Subspace. From then on the two join him, [[wp:Fire Emblem|Marth, and Ike]] on their quest to take down the Subspace Army.

====[[wp:Metal Gear|Codec]] information (on Shadow Moses Island)====
*'''[[wp:Solid Snake|Solid Snake]]:''' ''"[[Pokémon Trainer]]... That's the guy giving [[Move|orders]] behind a Pokémon, right?"''
*'''[[wp:List of recurring Metal Gear characters#Roy Campbell|Roy Campbell]]:''' ''"Right, and this Pokémon Trainer is [[Captured Pokémon|controlling]] {{p|Squirtle}}, {{p|Ivysaur}}, and {{p|Charizard}}. They represent {{t|water}}, {{t|grass}}, and {{t|fire}}, and they're all [[Damage modification|powerful]]."''
*'''Solid Snake:''' ''"So he makes his Pokémon fight while he sits back and watches. Sounds like a good deal if you ask me."''
*'''Roy Campbell:''' ''"It's not like that, Snake. Those Pokémon wouldn't know what to do if the Pokémon Trainer [[Wild Pokémon|wasn't there giving orders]]. In every {{pkmn|battle}}, there's a soldier doing the fighting, and a commander telling him what to do. By working together as a [[Party|team]], they accomplish much more than either could on their own. So let's do this together, partner."''
*'''Solid Snake:''' ''"...Yeah... Whatever you say, Colonel."''

====Trophy information====
=====Pokémon Trainer=====
A person who [[Pokémon Breeder|raises Pokémon]] and [[Pokémon training|trains]] them as [[Party|partners]] in battle. In battle, a Trainer gives [[Move|orders]] to the Pokémon and uses [[item]]s. It's not an exaggeration to say {{pkmn|battle}}s can be won or lost on a Trainer's [[Damage modification#Critical hit|single strategic move]]. Trainers pour their [[Happiness|hearts]] into their Pokémon and share anger, sadness, and joy as they adventure in hopes of becoming [[Pokémon Master]]s.
=====Triple Finish=====
The Final Smash of the Pokémon Trainer. Squirtle, Ivysaur, and Charizard join forces to simultaneously use {{m|Hydro Pump}}, {{m|SolarBeam}}, and {{m|Fire Blast}}. This is the only time all three of them appear on the screen together, so this move boasts the strength of three in one. A window will appear on the screen, but don't worry about it.

==In the TFG==
{{TFG ID|Next Quest|Red|42}} appears as a common trainer figure in the launch set, {{TFG|Next Quest}}, of the [[Pokémon Trading Figure Game]].

==Counterparts==
[[Ash Ketchum]] from the [[anime]] and [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]] manga was designed based on Red. Furthermore, Ash's name comes from one of the optional names for Red. This has caused many fans to mistake Red for his anime counterpart. However, they are analogous but not the same and using one's name for the other is always a mistake. There are also many fans that believe that the main hero from [[Pokémon Yellow Version]] is Ash. This is also untrue. [[Pokémon Yellow Version|Yellow's]] protagonist is still Red but slightly redesigned to look more similar to Ash, much like the storyline was designed to be closer to the anime. In other words, Ash in the anime is based on Red in the game series, but this cannot imply after all that they are the same. Although this idea is of the most debatable topics in Pokémon, thinking about the analogy between the two characters is more convenient than considering them totally similar.

Another anime counterpart could be [[Ritchie]], another character with a [[Sparky|Pikachu]], who some see as a "perfect" manifestation of Ash, and a more closely-designed character to the original Red.

Other counterparts include {{Special|Red}} from Pokémon Special manga, [[Satoshi (Zensho)|Satoshi]] from [[Pokémon Zensho]] manga, [[Isamu Akai]] from [[Pocket Monsters (manga)|Pocket Monsters]] manga, who also made a cameo appearance in anime, and [[Shuu]] from [[Pokémon Get da ze!]] manga.

==Trivia==
*When Red is encountered in [[Mt. Silver]] during [[Generation II]], he has no speech, merely repeating an ellipsis before beginning the battle. This is a reference to the fact that during [[Generation I]] he is a silent protagonist, answering only "yes" or "no" questions. After he is defeated, the screen blacks out and he vanishes, a reference to the fact that as the player, Red would black out and awake in the last-used [[Pokémon Center]] when he ran out of Pokémon.
*Until the release of {{game|Platinum}}, Red's team was at the highest level of any normal Trainer battle in the games (this excludes the Battle Tower and Battle Frontier, along with Stadium games and the like). His {{p|Pikachu}} had been the highest-leveled Pokémon one can face, as well, one level higher than {{p|Arceus}} in the wild. However, with the release of Platinum, the levels of the player's {{ga|Pearl|rival}}'s Pokémon have been boosted. Eventually his [[starter Pokémon]] will be level 85, and he has three other Pokémon that equal or exceed the level of Red's Pikachu.
*In the [[Super Smash Bros.]] series, Pokémon Trainer is the first Pokémon character, other than {{p|Pikachu}}, that didn't need to be unlocked.
*An unused default name for Red in the [[Generation I]] games was "NINTEN". Conversely, [[Blue|Blue (game)]]'s unused default name is "SONY". While normally unviewable, changing a few addresses within the game's code can allow for these names to appear.[http://board.acmlm.org/thread.php?id=308&o=0&p=20]

{{StrategyWiki}}
'''Pokémon FireRed Version''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスターファイアレッド''' ''Pocket Monsters Firered'') and '''Pokémon LeafGreen Version''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスターリーフグリーン''' ''Pocket Monsters Leafgreen'') are [[Generation III]] games that are set in [[Kanto]], with the addition of the [[Sevii Islands]].

These versions are remakes of [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions]], and include many of the same characters, plot elements, and challenges, but with several important upgrades, including:
* Pokémon now have [[Natures]], [[Ability|Abilities]], genders, and can hold items.
* Pokémon like {{p|Golbat}} can evolve into [[Generation II]] forms (after acquiring the [[National Pokédex]]).
* Pokémon can [[Pokémon breeding|breed]] (after acquiring the Rainbow Pass).
* Trainers in the outdoors can be rechallenged using the [[VS Seeker]].
* Information on important characters can be stored in the [[Fame Checker]].
* New region that includes Pokémon (and music) once only available in [[Johto]], known as the [[Sevii Islands]].
* Pokémon can learn [[Generation II]] and [[Generation III]] moves.
* [[Move Tutor|Move Tutors]] now teach moves once available from the original [[Generation I]] [[TM]]s.
* Generation III [[TM]]s are used instead of the Generation I TM set.
* The [[Elite Four]] can be rechallenged and have new Pokémon on their teams.
* The player can choose a {{ga|Red|boy character}} or a {{ga|Leaf|girl character}}.
* Version-exclusive Pokémon have been slightly altered to account for new evolutions.
* {{m|Blast Burn}}, {{m|Frenzy Plant}}, and {{m|Hydro Cannon}} became available.
* Location of some wild Pokémon has been altered.
* {{p|Deoxys}} has a different appearance and base stats — an Attack Forme in FireRed and a Defense Forme in LeafGreen.
* [[Team Rocket]] has a new branch on the Sevii Islands, based in the [[Rocket Warehouse]].

Also initially included in the box with every game was one [[GBA Wireless Adapter]], eliminating the need for link cables when trading between the two games (and later [[Pokémon Emerald Version|Emerald]]).

These games were named for the original two Pokémon games, [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions]], and feature the same [[Version mascots|Pokémon on the boxart]] as their [[Generation I]] counterparts. Oddly, even in regions where the Red version was paired up with the Blue version instead of the Green version, LeafGreen was not changed into a Blue version. However, Nintendo did trademark a WaterBlue title, suggesting that this may have been considered.

== Plot ==
The plot essentially follows the same storyline as [[Generation I]], with the player beginning in [[Pallet Town]]. After meeting [[Professor Oak]] while trying to leave for {{rt|1}}, both the player and his or her [[rival]] are asked by Oak to choose a [[starter Pokémon]], {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, or {{p|Squirtle}}, from the desk near him. Allowing the player to choose first, the rival quickly gets jealous, chooses the starter whose [[type]] weakens that of the player's, and challenges the player to a battle.

After the rival/player is defeated, Oak allows the two new trainers to leave for their journey across [[Kanto]]. Stopping off in [[Viridian City]]'s [[Poké Mart]], the player will find that a [[Oak's Parcel|package]] has come in for the professor, and the clerk asks that it be delivered to him. After this has been completed, the professor gives two Pokédexes, one for the player, and one for the rival, away to them, and sends them on their way. Viridian has a Gym, however, it is locked.

From here, the player has their first encounter with other trainers, on {{rt|2}} and in [[Viridian Forest]], and their first encounter with a [[Gym Leader]]: [[Brock]] the {{type2|Rock}} Gym Leader of [[Pewter City]]. After his defeat, journeying along {{rt|3}} and through [[Mt. Moon]] brings the player face to face with the heinous [[Team Rocket]], attempting to extract rare [[fossils]] from the cave. Their defeat allows the player to continue through the cave and onto {{rt|4}}, which leads directly into [[Cerulean City]], where another [[Gym]] is. This one, however, is run by [[Misty]], and specializes on {{type2|Water}} Pokémon. To the north, as well, there are two [[route]]s leading up to [[Bill]]'s cottage, where he will give the player a ticket for the [[S.S. Anne]], a luxury ship moored in [[Vermilion City|Vermilion]] Harbor and filled with trainers. Taking a shortcut through a house burglarized by Team Rocket, the player finally arrives at {{rt|5}}.

After traveling down Routes 5 and {{rtn|6}}, using the [[Underground Path (Routes 5-6)|Underground Path]] to bypass [[Saffron City]], the player finally arrives in Vermilion. This city is home to another Pokémon Gym, however, the way to it is blocked by a small tree! The only thing to do is to show the ticket to the [[Sailor]] guarding the harbor, allowing entry into the S.S. Anne. It is here, after assisting the captain with his seasickness, that the player will obtain the first of the seven [[Hidden Machine]]s available in the game, containing {{m|Cut}}. With this, and the [[Badge#Cascade Badge|Cascade Badge]], the tree blocking the way to Vermilion Gym is a goner, and [[Lt. Surge]], a Gym Leader specializing in {{type2|Electric}}s, can be challenged. From here, {{rt|11}} beckons, as does [[Diglett's Cave]], through which is the only way to get back to {{rt|2}}, and a second HM, containing {{m|Flash}}. Then it's back to Cerulean and to the east, onto {{rt|9}} and towards the [[Rock Tunnel]].

Rock Tunnel, a still undeveloped natural tunnel between the sections of {{rt|10}}, is pitch black inside; for this reason, Flash is recommended, but not required, for navigation of it. Finally reaching [[Lavender Town]], the only town in Kanto without a Pokémon Gym besides Pallet, there is not much to do; the local [[Pokémon Tower]] is haunted. From here, {{rt|8}} leads to Saffron City, but it again must be bypassed by way of another [[Underground Path (Routes 7-8)|Underground Path]], which has its other entrance on {{rt|7}}, on the west side of Saffron. [[Celadon City]], the home of the fourth Gym, specializing in {{type2|Grass}} Pokémon is just a short walk further. Like the Vermilion Gym, the Celadon Gym also has a small tree blocking the way to its entrance, and a perverted old man outside.

After stopping off at the [[Celadon Mansion]] and getting some [[Tea]], Saffron City can finally be entered. However, Team Rocket is guarding every door in the city, including that of the local Pokémon Gym! The city's centerpiece building, [[Silph Co.]]'s headquarters, has also been infiltrated by the organization, and at the top, waiting in the boardroom, is the Team Rocket Boss, [[Giovanni]], demanding that the president give him the [[Master Ball]] that the company had developed. After his defeat, he flees.

The Gym is now open, and its Leader, [[Sabrina]], specializes in {{type2|Psychic}}s. The floor, as well, is covered in warp tiles that make it difficult to navigate. After Sabrina's defeat, all that is left to do is deal with the ghosts in Lavender's Pokémon Tower, and to do that, one needs a [[Silph Scope]].

The [[Rocket Game Corner]] in Celadon is not what it appears to be. In fact, the game corner itself is merely the aboveground portion of a sprawling underground complex: the [[Rocket Hideout (Celadon City)|Rocket Hideout]]. It is here that Giovanni appears a second time, and after his defeat, flees to parts unknown, leaving behind a Silph Scope.

After this, the Pokémon Tower can be navigated, and the ghosts haunting it are revealed to be {{p|Gastly}} and {{p|Haunter}}. Near to the top, blocking the way, is also a final spirit, that of a deceased {{p|Marowak}} that was killed by Team Rocket when they captured her child. Making it all the way to the top reveals [[Mr. Fuji]] held hostage by Team Rocket grunts, who will leave when they are defeated. Fuji gives away the [[Poké Flute]], and with that, the {{p|Snorlax}} blocking {{rt|11}} and {{rt|16}} can finally be moved away. Another HM, containing {{m|Fly}}, can be obtained easily by cutting away a tree blocking the northern section of Route 16.

Traveling down either way the Snorlax are blocking, a faster way via Routes 16, {{rtn|17}}, and {{rtn|18}} on {{ka|Cycling Road}}, or down the [[Silence Bridge]] of Routes {{rtn|12}}, {{rtn|13}}, {{rtn|14}}, and {{rtn|15}}, inevitably brings one to the southernmost city in continental Kanto, [[Fuchsia City]], home of [[Koga]] of the {{t|Poison}}ous Fuchsia Gym and the [[Kanto Safari Zone]]. The Safari Zone is currently running a contest: the person to reach a specific rest house first will win yet another HM, containing {{m|Surf}}. Finding [[Warden Slowpoke]]'s [[Gold Teeth]] also will have him reward the player with the final of Kanto's HMs, containing {{m|Strength}}.

With six badges in hand, and five HMs in the [[TM Case]], finally the player can adventure onto the open sea of Routes {{rtn|19}} and {{rtn|20}}. A short way across them, of course, is a minor obstacle: the [[Seafoam Islands]]. After they have been navigated through, the player can continue on Route 20 to [[Cinnabar Island]], home of [[Blaine]]'s {{type2|Fire}} Gym. There are also several more facilities on the island, including one that actually revives Pokémon [[fossils]]. After Blaine's defeat, [[Bill]] shows up again, because he needs help in a region east of Kanto, the [[Sevii Islands]]. If the player accepts, the [[Seagallop Ferry]] will travel to [[One Island (town)|One Island]], where a friend of Bill's, [[Celio]], is attempting to connect the islands' PC system to that of Kanto. During this, there is also a crisis in [[Two Island (town)|Two Island]], where the daughter of the owner of the [[Joyful Game Corner]] has gone missing, and in [[Three Island (town)|Three Island]] where a group of invading [[Biker]]s are causing trouble. After defeating them and finding the lost girl, [[Lostelle]], who is in [[Berry Forest]], Bill and the player will return to Kanto, where the final Gym, that of Viridian City, lies.

Finally unlocked, the Gym, whose leader specializes in {{type2|Ground}}s, is revealed to be none other than the boss of Team Rocket himself, [[Giovanni]]! After his defeat, he vows to disband Team Rocket and disappears. Now with eight badges, all that lies ahead is the [[Pokémon League]] at the [[Indigo Plateau]], conveniently at the end of {{rt|23}}.

The [[Elite Four]] await challengers, those who have proven themselves worthy by getting all eight badges and making it through {{ka|Victory Road}} will face them, in order. [[Lorelei]], who trains {{type2|Ice}} Pokémon is first, followed by [[Bruno]], whose specialty is {{t|Fighting}}, [[Agatha]], whose specialty is {{t|Ghost}}, and finally [[Lance]], whose specialty is {{t|Dragon}}. After these four, the reigning [[Pokémon champion]] is the final battle, and it is none other than the player's own rival. After his defeat, Oak arrives and tells the player that they care better for their Pokémon, and the player's current [[party]] are added to the [[Hall of Fame]].

After the credits roll, the player is back in Pallet Town, however, there is still more to do. There is some more work that Celio needs to do on his network machine, as he wishes to link to yet another region. The signal, however, is not strong enough, and he needs the Ruby and the Sapphire, two items found in the Sevii Islands, to strengthen it. The Ruby is found deep in a cave in [[Mt. Ember]], which Team Rocket grunts have been seen fooling around with. The Sapphire lies at the deepest part of the [[Dotted Hole]] in [[Ruin Valley]]. The Ruby can be given to Celio without a hitch, however, the Sapphire, when found, is stolen by a [[Scientist]] named [[Gideon]], who takes it back to Team Rocket's [[Rocket Warehouse|warehouse]] in the [[Five Isle Meadow]]. By infiltrating the warehouse and defeating the remaining Rocket Admins, they realize that Giovanni has disbanded Team Rocket. They do, however, vow to return one day, and bring Team Rocket back to its glory. Gideon reluctantly gives back the Sapphire, and after this, trades are possible with the [[Hoenn]]-based [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire|Ruby, Sapphire]], and {{v2|Emerald}}. The Elite Four can once again be challenged, and their Pokémon are 12 levels higher (Blue's levels are 10 higher). [[Cerulean Cave]], as well, is now open, and the powerful {{p|Mewtwo}} can be found there.

==Trivia==
[[Image:Thetruckreturns.png|thumb|right|Oh, great. It's back.]]
*The LeafGreen Pokédex entries are the same as those in the original Red and Blue Versions (as well as [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|the Japanese Blue version]]) for the {{cat|Generation I Pokémon|151 Kanto Pokémon}}. The FireRed entries for the same Pokémon are the same as those in the original {{2v2|Red|Green}}, which were previously not translated into English or other languages.
**The LeafGreen entries were also used for the [[Meister|international Pokédex entries]] featured in [[Generation IV]].
*The Pokédex entries for most of the {{cat|Generation II Pokémon}} are the same as those in Gold and Silver, with Silver's entries being in FireRed and Gold's being in LeafGreen.
*[[S.S. Anne#Rumors|The truck]], long rumored to have a Poké Ball containing Mew under it, appears again as scenery near the S.S. Anne. This time around, however, following the instructions of the rumors of old will, in fact, get the player a [[Lava Cookie]].
*It may be worth noting that there are a number of in-game references to the [[Generation II]] games (such as a new reference to the bridge in front of Bill's House as a prime dating spot, and the character of [[Janine|Charine]]), prompting some speculation that the second generation games may receive a [[Pokémon Gold and Silver remakes|remake]], much like [[Generation I]] did. While some evidence exists, there is no real certainty.
*Within the game's code, there is a piece of text that reads, "If you like this game, buy it or die.". Said text actually does appear within the ROM of the game when using a [[Seagallop Ferry]] as an anti-piracy measure (albeit an empty threat as well). Several ROM dumpers have verified this is not something inserted by a third-party.

An '''evolution-inducing held item''' is a specific type of held item that either has no other use besides, or is mainly used in order to cause, the [[evolution]] of a Pokémon. Many of these items also require for the Pokémon to be [[trade]]d with another player, however, some only require the Pokémon to be leveled up.

Talk:Effort values

2008-01-20T21:43:19Z

System Error: /* EV */

Where "252" comes from isn't explained... it'd be better as Math.floor(255/4), but I'd prefer to see it written with the proper math symbols, which don't appear to be supported in Bulbapedia yet... - Hyperworm.
:We'll try to get texvc installed, but that would mean getting an Ocaml compiler for whatever platform the server is running... not to mention checking that TeX is installed properly, etc. (mutter...) - [[User:Zhen Lin|刘 (劉) 振霖]] 12:23, 21 Feb 2005 (UTC)

:Feel free to make it floor(255/4) with a description of the floor command, but leave the "Math." out, Bulbapedia isn't a compiler. Don't expect most people viewing the page to know what "floor()" does.
:--[[User:Jshadias|Jshadias]] 00:53, 22 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Is anyone thinking of compiling a chart of pokemon and what Effort Values they have? I see that each pokemon has theirs on their own pages but it doesn't list all of them at one spot, any ambitions or places online that it could be copied over from? [[User:Lucasthalefty|Lucasthalefty]] 02:12, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

:Bulbapedia already has one of those, actually. Now that you mention it, I hvae no idea why it's not linked to here. I'll add a hyperlink to the article. -- [[user:Jioruji Derako|'''J'''ioruji '''D'''erako.'''>''']] 04:08, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

Wow that makes it so much better thanks [[User:Lucasthalefty|Lucasthalefty]] 14:47, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

Just a point of clarification here - is it necessary to get a Pokemon to lv. 100 to get the full EV benefits? [[User:Fuzzy|Fuzzy]] 13:53, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
:Once they have the effort ribbon, you'll know they have full effort values. Otherwise, then, you can't really know. Heck, a Pokémon can hit 100 without full EVs. --'''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 19:12, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
::No, no. I mean, do the stat benefits show up only at lv. 100, or immediately after you've filled the 510 EVs? [[User:Fuzzy|Fuzzy]] 14:59, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
:::Well, it's not like leveling from 99 to 100 will add some ridiculously high number to the stats. I don't keep track personally, but I think that they'll show up instantly once you've filled the EVs, and it won't matter if you enter them as some lower level into the autolevel-to-100 battle on WFC, or level them up naturally. --'''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 21:26, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

Actually, if you have enough evs, the stat gain comes after you level up. Say you get 16 evs before leveling up. If so, then when you do level up and you get 16 atk's, youll get 4 evs. So leveling to 100 isnt necesarry-- [[User:Mr T Tar]]
:It is. You may have the EVs, but you don't have the stats. '''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 04:32, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

And now i know thanks to you. I feel like a noob T_T

== Some adjustments needed? ==

First off, vitamins, The article's wording seems to imply that a vitamin can be used when the current points are any amount less than 100, and unless things have changed, or i know wrong, vitamins will only raise EV's TO 100 and never over 100, meaning vitamins can only be used when current EV's are 90 or less.

Also, the basic info seems to ONLY address the final results at level 100, leading to earlier confusion about whether or not EV's apply anytime before. The EV portion of the stat calculations could be here, and/or a chart showing at what levels the EV's needed for an actual stat point are whole numbers, and how many it is, along the lines of:

100 = 4
80 = 5
50 = 8
40 = 10
25 = 16
20 = 20
16 = 25
10 = 40
8 = 50
5 = 80
4 = 100
-------
2 = 200
1 = 400

Obviously we don't need a lot of the lower levels, since it'd be difficult to finish EV training that low. at eight, you'd need to use all the vitamins the game will let you to get just two stat points, and only one for the same at level 4, and gaining a single whole stat point is impossible at levels 1 and 2.
:I'm thinking the chart should be cut off at 4, since then you could still use vitamins to gain 5 single stat points in different stats. {{u|Kendai}} 10:38 October 22, 2007.

I get the numbers by dividing 400 by the level, or the needed number of EV's. You can see they start to mirror at 20.

:Vitamins are only if the EV's less than 100 at the time of use. Even if it's 99, you can still use one vitamin. '''[[User:TTEchidna|TTE]][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 09:03, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

== Double on the route where caught? ==

I read somewhere (a long time ago, I forget now) that when training a Pokémon on the same route or other map area where you caught it, it will receive double the normal amount of EVs. Does anyone know if this is true?
:I know that in Crystal, it raised happiness by like, double or something. {{:User:TTEchidna/sig}} 02:54, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

Pika Cup

2008-01-09T09:41:57Z

System Error: Something I made a long time ago. I believe it is mostly accurate. Purposefully keeps it brief when possible, as so not to clog the table with tens of possibilites for locations

The '''Pika Cup''' is the lowest-level [[Stadium Cup]] in [[Pokémon Stadium (English)|Pokémon Stadium]], and did not return in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]].

It is a cup for low leveled Pokémon, specifically those from Level 15 to Level 20. The sum of the levels of the three Pokémon chosen cannot be more than 50. Technically, all Pokémon except for {{p|Mewtwo}} and {{p|Mew}} are eligable to enter. However, getting strong Pokémon at that low of a level can get quite complicated. While some are catchable at low levels in certain versions (e.g. Level 15 {{p|Dragonair}} in [[Pokémon Yellow|Yellow]]), others are more complex and involve trading across the in-game trainers and the different versions. Interestingly, as many of these involve the Yellow version, its naming after that game's [[version mascot]], {{p|Pikachu}} may have had more than one point to it.

Ignoring glitches and tradebacks from [[Generation II]], the following Pokémon may be legitimately obtained and entered into the cup.

Talk:Cry

2008-01-09T09:06:40Z

System Error: /* A Note */

==A Note==
First of all, I removed the information of a short list of Pokemon that have the same cries to help summarize on how the system actually works. Second of all, I removed the Crobat cry thing, because that's pure speculation. Based on how the game works, Missingno. was improperly assigned Zubat's cry with a different pitch, just like the other Missingno's with Zapdos's cry but with a different pitch. [[User:Koolboyman|Koolboyman]] 03:12, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
:Hmm... So which are the different cries, and what Pokémon have each? Or is it as easy as dividing evo family? {{:User:TTEchidna/sig}} 06:53, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
:I added the Crobat thing myself, but I didn't add the part about "considering an evolution of Golbat". I personally believe it was only just a coincidence. It's supposed to be trivia, after all. But yeah, keep speculation out. [[User:System Error|System Error]] 09:06, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

Cry

2008-01-09T05:10:57Z

System Error: /* Trivia */ Omanyte's cry is more "solid sounding" than Machop's (for lack of a better term). And Goldeen's is slightly slower than Caterpie's. They aren't quite the same.

A Pokémon's '''cry''' is the sound it makes. In most of the franchise's interpretations, this is only its name and various phrases derived from its name. However, there are several instances of [[talking Pokémon]].

==In the games==
When a Pokémon is released from its [[Poké Ball]], it will call out its cry. It will also cry out when using certain moves, such as {{m|Growl}} and {{m|Hyper Voice}}. If the Pokémon faints or comes into [[Pokémon battle|battle]] when injured during [[Generation III]] and [[Generation IV]], the cry will sound, but it will be altered slightly. Pokémon with [[evolution]]ary relations to each other (such as {{p|Charmander}} and {{p|Charmeleon}}) will have notably similar cries.

In the wild, cries of the Pokémon found in the player's current location can occasionally be heard in the [[Generation III]] [[Hoenn]]- and [[Kanto]]-based games. Also, if the player's first Pokémon in his or her [[party]] has the [[ability]] {{a|Swarm}}, then these cries will be more common than before.

==In the anime==
Most Pokémon will only say their names, and will communicate using those syllables. For example, [[Ash's Pikachu]] has been known to use the three syllables in the word "Pikachu" in various combinations to refer to several characters, including [[Ash]] (''Pikapi''), [[Misty]] (''PiKachupi''), [[Brock]] (''PikaChu''), [[Misty's Togepi|Togepi]] (''Pipipi''), [[Team Rocket]] (''Pipikachu''), and "My name is Pikachu" (''PikaPikachu'').

Due to Pokémon being dubbed, sometimes, the original cry of a Pokémon is preserved in the anime, more often than not if the name is either similar or the same in Japanese and English. An example of this would be {{p|Charizard}}, which can, if listened to closely enough, be heard to cry out ''Lizardon'' instead. Likewise, all {{p|Onix}} can be heard to cry out ''Iwark''.

Some Pokémon, such as {{p|Victreebel}}, cries are unrelated to their names at all. Per example, Victreebel makes a screeching sound.

== Trivia ==
*Two pairs of [[Generation I]] Pokémon share the same cry, despite not being related by evolution.
**{{p|Charizard}} and {{p|Rhyhorn}} share the same cry.
**{{p|Poliwag}} and {{p|Ditto}} share the same cry.

*{{p|Pikachu}} is the only Pokémon to have its cry changed. In [[Pokémon Yellow]], Pikachu's cry is actually provided by [[Ikue Ohtani]]. This is also the case if the [[starter Pokémon|starter]] Pikachu from Yellow is brought to battle in [[Pokémon Stadium (English)|Pokémon Stadium]] or [[Pokémon Stadium 2]].

*From [[Generation II]] onwards, possibly due to improved technology, very few Pokémon were released with cries similar to another; those that do have similar cries are usually related by [[evolution]] as they were in Generation I. As the generations continue to pass, the calls of new Pokémon seem much cleaner and more refined, while the cries of Pokémon released in previous generations sound more like the electronic beeps they are. In particular, the cries of new Pokémon in [[Generation IV]] are mostly recognizable digitized sounds, such as birds chirping for {{p|Starly}} or a xylophone being played for {{p|Kricketot}}.

*Despite there being 151 Pokémon in Generation I, there are only 37 completely different cries in the game. However, different Pokémon's cries are either pitched up, down, faster, slower, or disable one of the sound channels, making it harder to recognize. For example, Charmander and Charmeleon's cries are the same, but an instruction in the game tells the pitch for Charmeleon to be lower than Charmander's. Despite this, some Pokémon share the exact same cry with no sound tweaking, such as Charizard and Rhyhorn. In Generation II, there were 30 new cries introduced, applying to the same rules as before.

*One of the cries of a glitched Pokémon in the first generation games sounds very similar to {{p|Crobat}}'s cry. This shows that Game Freak may have already been considering an evolution of {{p|Golbat}}.

'M (00)

2008-01-09T04:59:14Z

System Error: /* Charizard 'M */ I've had the trading glitch when trading via netplay. I'd imagine natural cart issues could cause those results, too (I once had the battle center glitch up on me with the cart)

{{GlitchPkmnInfobox|
name='M |
image=000.png |
caption='M|
ndex=000 |

Versions=Red, Blue|
HexID=00|

gender=none |
female=0 |
male=0 |
catchrate=3 |
}}

''''M''' is a [[glitch Pokémon]] found in the [[Pokémon]] [[Pokémon Red and Blue|Red and Blue]] [[Game Boy]] games, much like [[MissingNo.]]. It is most commonly called "'M", since the apostrophe and capital letter M are the only typographical characters in its name. It is also called "'M Block" because its name is comprised of two glitched box-like graphics with "' M " in the middle. 'M and other glitch Pokémon, appear in the games due to a programming oversight.

==Biology==
===Gender differences===
'M. is a genderless species, as the only games it was present in did not indicate Pokémon genders. Interestingly, however, given that it evolves into {{p|Kangaskhan}}, it could be assumed that it would be all-female if seen in [[Generation II]] or onward.

==Special abilities==
When a player encounters 'M or [[MissingNo.]], the quantity of the sixth item in their bag becomes increased by 128. Also, if the player has [[Hall of Fame]] data, encountering 'M. corrupts it. Aside from that, 'M does not have a real ability; in [[Pokémon Red and Blue]] abilities did not exist yet.

==Behavior==
Because 'M is a glitch Pokémon, it has never been seen in the anime, neither does 'M exist in any other game beyond [[Pokémon Red and Blue]]. Although many people create fan art or stories about it, no one really knows 'M's true behavior.

==Habitat==
'M is found mainly on the east coast (right side) of [[Cinnabar Island]] while Surfing half on the strip of land and half on the water.

Since 'M does not exist in any game that uses the Special Attack and Special Defense stats, only its Special stat is listed.

Psychic= 100 |
Ice= 100 |
Dragon= 100 |}}

As the {{t|Bird}} type isn't weak, resistant, or immune to any type, 'M's secondary typing effectively does not affect its type advantages.

==How 'M is found==
The most common way players encounter 'M in the ''Red'' and ''Blue'' versions of ''Pokémon'' is by doing the following:
*Going to the northern part of Viridian City and watching the Old Man's demonstration of how to catch a Pokémon.
*{{m|Fly}}ing or {{m|Teleport}}ing to [[Cinnabar Island]] or [[Fuchsia City]].
*Surfing up and down along the east coast of Cinnabar Island or the [[Seafoam Islands]] closest to Fuchsia City until 'M appears. In Pokémon Stadium, the game saves automatically upon encountering 'M.<ref>[http://www.cheatsnetwork.com/cheats/2480.html Pokémon (Game Boy)] ''Cheats Network'' URL Accessed [[July 23]], [[2006]]</ref>, <ref>[http://pages.prodigy.net/maryjorhodes/codespok.htm Mew's Pokémon Gameboy Cheats] ''Pokémon Glitch Fan Site'' URL Accessed [[July 23]], [[2006]]</ref>
*Alternatively, a player can also cause 'M to appear by trading Pokémon with a friend via a link cable or with one of the in-game traders, then Flying or Teleporting to Cinnabar or the Seafoam Islands and surfing along the coast as mentioned before.

'M has no Pokédex description, and is not registered in the Pokédex. Encountering an 'M (or another glitch Pokémon, like [[Missingno.]]) will add 128 of the sixth item in the player's inventory if the player already has 127 or less of that sixth item. (The item's quantity will then appear as a pixel blob until brought down to 99 or fewer.<ref>[http://www.gamerevolution.com/cheat/gameboy/pokemon_bluered Pokémon Blured] ''Game Revolution'' URL Accessed [[July 23]], [[2006]]</ref>) Many players take advantage of this by duplicating rare items like [[Poké Ball|Master Ball]]s and [[Nugget]]s. Catching a glitch Pokémon can distort in-battle graphics and the Hall of Fame data; sending a glitch Pokémon to the storage PC may prevent the player from using the storage system unless they start a new game; this has not been proven. Severe glitches may erase saved games or even corrupt the entire cartridge.

==Appearance and attributes==
There are 256 available [[index number|memory "slots"]] for Pokémon data; 'M is found in the first slot, #0. (151 other slots are real Pokémon; 47 are trainers; 38 are Missingno., and the remaining 18 are other glitches like 'M.
<ref>[http://www.trsrockin.com/missingno4.html Missingno. Mystery Solved] ''Team Rocket Fansite'' URL Accessed [[July 23]], [[2006]]</ref>)

Although it seems at first glance to be like [[MissingNo.]], they are actually different glitches with many differences; for example, 'M can evolve into {{p|Kangaskhan}} while Missingno. cannot. Missingno.'s cry differs between a shortened version of {{p|Nidoran♂}}'s cry and {{p|Dragonair}}'s cry, whereas 'M's cry is a slightly different version of {{p|Zapdos}}'s cry. If 'M is traded to the [[Yellow version]], it will become a [[3TrainerPoké]], but when Missingno. is traded to the Yellow version, it stays as Missingno. (although it will behave differently then the Red/Blue Missingno.).

In the party, 'M will appear as the glitched sprite of a person in the area where the player currently is.

'M, like most forms of [[Missingno.]], appears as a mass of pixels in a backwards 'L' shape. Its icon in the Pokémon menu is also glitched, often appearing as a pixelated Surfing icon or a black blob (it changes based on the player's location). When used in [[Pokémon Stadium (English)|Pokémon Stadium]], it looks like a {{m|Substitute}} doll.

Also like [[Missingno.]], 'M is often of the type Bird/Normal, knows {{m|Sky Attack}} and two {{m|Water Gun}}s, has the ID number #000, does not appear in the Pokédex, and is found through the same glitches as Missingno. is. However, it is ''not'' the same Pokémon. 'M and the different versions of Missingno are located in different memory slots; also, 'M has a different cry, learns {{m|Pound}} at level 138, and can evolve into a {{p|Kangaskhan}}. (Its evolution is not random: 'M's identifier is 0 and Kangaskhan's is 2.)<ref>[http://www.trsrockin.com/hexlist.html R/B Hex List] ''Team Rocket Fansite'' URL Accessed [[July 27]], [[2006]]</ref>

When the player captures an 'M, the battle will continue. Capturing "'M" again will result in capturing a {{p|Ditto}}; why this happens is unknown.

==Advantages and disadvantages of 'M==
Encountering 'M, [[Missingno.]], and other glitch Pokémon often interferes with the saved game data in various ways. Trainer and Pokémon graphics during battle are corrupted; the Hall of Fame data is extremely glitched (changes in screen color, music, and game speed have been known to occur alongside the obvious unidentifiable pixelations substituting for where Pokémon appeared).

'M's presence also allows what is known as the "[[Rare Candy Cheat]]" or "Item Duplication Cheat", the Pokémon games' infamous item duplication bug, which adds 128 of the sixth item in the player's inventory, if the player already has less than 128 of that sixth item. It is commonly used to duplicate valuable and hard-to-obtain items, such as [[Rare Candy|Rare Candies]], [[PP Up]]s, and Master Balls. However, the duplication bug can affect any item in the game, not just Rare Candies. Using the bug to duplicate Key Items is possible, allowing the player to obtain more fossils for reviving {{p|Kabuto}}, {{p|Omanyte}}, and {{p|Aerodactyl}}; though many do not recommend this, as the player cannot get rid of duplicated key items through "tossing" or selling, and they serve only to take up inventory space.

The coasts where 'M may be found are used for other cheats as well. If the player {{m|Surf}}s along the coasts after leaving an area where certain wild Pokémon appear, those Pokémon will continue to appear by the coast, even if they are not water-dwelling Pokémon. This is because Surfing along the coasts does not overwrite the data for which wild Pokémon are available, and if the player's name has not been stored in that area through one of the procedures above, the previous wild Pokémon will appear. (see reference 4) This glitch can be used to fight Pokémon from the Safari Zone in a normal battle.

Another advantage of the 'M is its ability to evolve into {{p|Kangaskhan}}. TMs and HMs taught to 'M will carry over when it evolves to Kangaskhan, enabling a Kangaskhan to have moves it wouldn't ordinarily be able to learn, like {{m|Fly}}.

The blocks in 'M's name depend on which sprite is occupying the spot where the player's Pokémon appears.

==Charizard 'M==
Other in-game glitches (notably the [[Mew glitch]]) can produce the "Charizard 'M", a Pokémon named 'M but with the {{p|Charizard}} graphic. It is not to be confused with [[Glitchy Charizard]], a similar but unrelated glitch caused by the [[Mew glitch]]. Charizard 'M is a different from the typical 'M, and causes significantly more damage to the game. Charizard 'M can also change all of a player's [[party]] Pokémon into Charizard 'M, but the moves and type do not change, and putting these "transformed" Pokémon into a box makes the other Pokémon Charizard 'M also.

Depending on the circumstances, Charizard 'M can overwrite the player's name with the letter Z, engage a new battle from the battle screen, or transform all party Pokémon into {{p|Bulbasaur}}.<ref>[http://www.trsrockin.com/dex_charzm.html Dex Charizard] ''Team Rocket Fansite'' URL Accessed [[July 23]], [[2006]]</ref>

Charizard 'M can be obtained by doing the following:
*Catch a [[44Hy]] in the Yellow version by doing Method #3 of the [[Mew glitch]] using a Pokémon with a special stat of 192, or trade a [[A|Lowercase A glitch]] from Red/Blue
*Evolve the [[44Hy]] into a [[Q]] (the Yellow equivalent of Charizard 'M)
*Trade the [[Q]] to the Red/Blue and it will become Charizard 'M

Unlike other glitch Pokémon, a Charizard 'M's ID number is always #000 and its Original Trainer will either be blank or a set of letters partially from the player's name. As a result, it is impossible to nickname a Charizard 'M. Its cry is static and sometimes causes the background music to end. Charizard 'M is found in all the slots from 248 to 255, not slot 0 like 'M; they are not the same glitch. Its type, like a normal Charizard's, is Fire/Flying. (See above reference.) There are reports that Charizard 'M can be used to swap moves of Pokémon stored in the PC, depending on the order they are withdrawn. Additionally, Charizard 'M is not recognized by the game as a Pokémon in many circumstances. If a player places it in his or her party, it will render all other Pokémon invisible. (See above reference.) Furthermore, Charizard 'M cannot be healed at a Pokémon Center.

The Charizard 'M learns different attacks than a normal 'M: it learns Swords Dance at level 9, Slam at 11, TM50 (a glitch attack, not the move Substitute) at level 19, a nameless glitch attack at level 28, TM09 at level 30, Aurora Beam at 32, TM29 (another glitch, not Psychic) at level 33, Karate Chop at level 40, and Jack (apparently a glitch which reads one of the pre-loaded names for the player character or rival) at level 62. (See above reference.)

Although Charizard 'M seems to be the most common form (possibly caused by a blank spot in the party), this glitch can also appear as another Pokémon, such as {{p|Gengar}}, {{p|Machop}}, {{p|Ditto}}, or {{p|Butterfree}}. The glitch will have the same types as the normal Pokémon, but will learn very different level-up moves.

Sometimes, if game link activity goes wrong (typically from faulty link cables or dirty connectors), glitched Pokemon may be produced, in which a Charizard 'M is a possible result.

==In ''Pokémon Stadium''==
'M and [[Missingno.]] can be uploaded to ''[[Pokémon Stadium (English)|Pokémon Stadium]]'', and (if the game doesn't freeze) will look like Substitute dolls (small {{p|Rhydon}} or {{p|Kangaskhan}}-like figures that appear when a Pokémon uses the ''Substitute'' attack). 'M's graphic is blue and Missingno.'s is purple. When viewed in the Pokémon Center, all of 'M's stats will be question marks (including the Pokédex species ID number, even though the Game Boy versions identify 'M and Missingno. as #000). However, 'M will not be allowed to battle, nor will it function correctly in the Gallery (in which players can take pictures of Pokémon). Photos of it will not develop if taken.

If 'M or any other glitch Pokémon is selected in the "see list", the game will freeze, playing the music without the bass track in the background. If a player tries to view 'M's stats, the game will also freeze on occasion. <ref>[http://www.console-cheats.com/nintendo64/PokemonStadium.shtml Pokémon Stadium Cheats] ''Console Cheats'' URL Accessed [[July 23]], [[2006]]</ref>

==Generation II==
'M cannot be traded to [[Pokémon Gold and Silver]] because it supposedly does not exist in the second generation. In the trade center, 'M appears as a {{p|Slowpoke}} or {{p|Tyrogue}}. When the players try to trade 'M, a message appears stating "Your friend's ['M's name] appears to be abnormal." and the trade is canceled automatically. Less often, 'M can be traded, in which case it turns into the Pokémon it was displayed as. <ref>[http://pages.prodigy.net/maryjorhodes/codespok.htm Code Pok] ''Prodigy.net'' URL Accessed [[July 23]], [[2006]]</ref>

Similar problems present themselves when attempting to transfer 'M or [[Missingno.]] to Pokémon Stadium 2. If successfully transferred, 'M and Missingno. will become a {{p|Ditto}}. <ref>[http://www.funtrivia.com/en/VideoGames/Pokemon-RedBlueYellow*-13505.html Pokémon Red, Blue and Yellow] ''Fun Trivia'' URL Accessed [[July 23]], [[2006]]</ref>

==Trivia==
*'M's sprite, movepool, and stats are identical to [[Missingno.]]'s, but with two move differences: Missingno. cannot learn {{m|Pound}}. and 'M is incompatible with {{TM|50|Substitute}}.
*'M's cry is almost exactly identical to that of {{p|Zapdos}}.
*Since it evolves into {{p|Kangaskhan}}, it can be assumed that all 'M are female (if introduced into a game where genders exist).
*'M is twice as large as Missingno., but not nearly as heavy.
*If a level 0 'M is captured and sent to the [[PC]] (this also applies to the subsequent {{p|Ditto}}), the game will freeze if the player tries to withdraw either one. This probably started the (fake) rumors of 'M and other [[Glitch Pokémon]] being horribly dangerous to the saved game file if captured.

Sphere

2008-01-03T12:37:46Z

System Error: I've only tested this on Pearl with Pale spheres, but I'd imagine it's much the same way with Diamond and Prism spheres.

A '''sphere''' (Japanese: '''タマ''' ''tama'') is the basic unit of currency in [[the Underground]] of [[Sinnoh]]. They come in five colors: '''Red''', '''Green''', '''Blue''', '''Prism''', and '''Pale'''. These correspond to different versions of the [[Pokémon games]], with the first three matching the original colors of [[Pokémon Red and Green|Red, Green]] and [[Pokémon Blue (Japanese)|Blue]], and the Prism and Pale spheres corresponding to [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl|Diamond and Pearl]] respectively.

Spheres of these five colors can be found commonly by mining in the Underground. More common are those that are Red, Blue, and Green, while the Pale and Prism spheres are common in the version that corresponds to them and rare in the other one. Spheres can range in size from 1 to 99, though most spheres found will be in the range of 5-20.

To get larger spheres, they must be either combined by burying more than one of the same color sphere in the same spot. When combined, the size of the resulting sphere is determined by the following formula...

* X + (''a''⁄''5''+1) + (''b''⁄''5''+1) + (''c''⁄''5''+1)...

Where X is the size of the largest sphere buried, and a, b, c, and so on are the sizes of the other spheres. All non-integer values are rounded down before the adding. In the event of a tie for the largest size, the largest sphere size is used both as X and one of the other variables. For instance, burying a Prism Sphere 15, a Prism Sphere 12, a Prism Sphere 7, and two Prism Sphere 1s produces a Prism Sphere 22.

Buried spheres can also naturally grow over time. Red, Green, and Blue Spheres grow faster than Pale and Prism Spheres. Regardless of what a player does, though, the maximum level for a sphere is 99.

Spheres can be used to purchase many things that a player will need to decorate their [[secret base]], as well as [[trap]]s which can be set up throughout the underground. [[Hiker]]s that stand at some of the corners of the Underground will offer to trade these [[item]]s for the spheres. The price that the item is listed for is the minimum size sphere that the hiker will take for it, though larger ones may be used.

Talk:Amity Square

2007-12-09T10:20:56Z

System Error: /* No Eevees allowed?! */

== Homonym ==

Albeit minor (only consisting in the presence of wild Kecleon and one Go-Rock Grunt), there's also a location called ''Amity Square'' in [[Fall City]]. Even if that one doesn't deserve its own article, I propose a redirect of this to [[Amity Square (Sinnoh)]] --[[User:Johans|Johans]] 23:09, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
:There are two [[Viridian Forest]]s too. If the other one gets an article, I think we should do as we did with Viridian Forest, since Ranger's a side game too, even if it has greater links to the versions. --'''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 00:52, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
::Nah, it doesn't deserve its own article (not more than [[Viridian Forest (Channel)]] did). How about just a link to [[Fall City]]? --[[User:Johans|Johans]] 01:34, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
:::Yes, a simple mention like: "In [[Pokémon Ranger]], there is also a small location in [[Fall City]] called Amity Square." Brief and simple. Like the area itself. --[[User:DarkfireTaimatsu|DarkfireTaimatsu]] 01:54, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

== Oddity ==

I had my Pikachu in the Square today and I got a Magost Berry, but it's not listed as one of the items that Pikachu can find... [[User:Manga-in-a-bottle|Manga-in-a-bottle]]

:The Pokémon can all find berries, and they all find the same types of berries. --[[User:Shiny Noctowl|Shiny Noctowl]] 14:10, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

::Shouldn't the article be updated then? I've not experimented that, but the Prima guide and Serebii mention it. --[[User:Johans|Johans]] 05:18, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
::LOL, I just got a Magost Berry myself, while walking with my Buneary. --[[User:Johans|Johans]] 06:31, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

:::: Particularly in regard to berries, the item list seems incomplete...several berries are supposedly found in Amity Square (like [[Durin Berry]] and [[Watmel Berry]], to name 2)) but aren't on the list at all. --[[User:Maki|Maki]] 10:31, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

== No Eevees allowed?! ==

I can't believe this! I once had a dream where I was walking with my Eevee in Amity Square. Despite the fact that Eevee is one of the cutest Pokémon ever, it cannot come here. That is such a pity. [[User:Sneedly94|Sneedly94]] 19:29, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

* Well, in order for something to go there, it needs the proper sprites to be made for it, and they may have run out of room. Or maybe they were just lazy. Maybe they ran out of time. Maybe by "cute" they really mean "those liked by the fanbase and/or the ones we are trying to make the fanbase like", with a possible bias towards the Japanese fanbase. I don't know. At any rate though, I don't see what stopped them from having another Pokémon in there that can pick up the same things as Jigglypuff. It just seems odd that there's an odd number of them able to enter. Also, note how Jigglypuff's rarest item is a common one for other Pokémon, and how it's the only one that can pick up Blue Feathers, despite having no blue coloring on its body. Makes me feel as though something were dropped from being able to enter Amity Square; my money's on Piplup. [[User:System Error|System Error]] <nowiki></nowiki> 20:02, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

A lot of the Pokemon allowed in Amity Square already have sprites in the game, so I don't know how much it has to do with fandom as opposed to paying the sprite designer more. For example, I don't think anyone really finds Psyduck to be all that "cute" (in my opinion) but they already had the sprites in the game for when they were blocking the road to Celestic Town. Same with Drifloon--if you didn't catch it exclusively by talking to its sprite in the field, I'm sure it wouldn't be there. Even Pikachu's sprite is already there (for several in-game Pikachu, as well as the Pikachu impersonator trainer).Also, I noticed that except for Skitty, all the Amity Square pokemon walk on two legs. Doesn't explain Skitty, though...
Anyway, I agree with you, Eevee is great, but maybe too detailed for a good sprite? I dunno. Just guessing. (oh man, and having Eevee in Amity Square would make it so much easier to evolve it to Umbreon or Espeon...) --[[User:Maki|Maki]] 10:37, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

* The point about it possibly having to do with fandom relates to the second piece of trivia on the page; how the trainers on the show have owned Pokemon that can enter Pal Park. In fact, 8/11 of them have been prominently featured on the show in some way, the only ones not having done so being Clefairy, Shroomish, and Drifloon. [[User:System Error|System Error]] 10:20, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

== Mr. Backlot? ==

I think one of the townspeople in Hearthome City says that Mr. Backlot (the owner of the mansion and the Trophy Garden) also owns Amity Square. I'm not sure, though...anyway, should this be added??
:Yes, someone does mention that. I agree that it should be added, but under the "Trivia" section. [[Image:Ani164MS.gif]][[User:Shiny Noctowl|Shiny]][[User talk:Shiny Noctowl|?]][[Special:Contributions/Shiny Noctowl|!]] 13:23, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

Version-exclusive Pokémon

2007-11-05T06:45:05Z

System Error: /* Generation I */ Abra, Kadabra, and Alakazam WERE obtainable in the Japanese Blue version...

'''Version-exclusive Pokémon''' are Pokémon that are missing from one or more games in a single [[Generation]] to encourage trading between multiple players. For instance, in the original [[Pokémon Red and Blue|Pokémon Red]], {{p|Bellsprout}} was absent but appeared in [[Pokémon Red and Blue|Pokémon Blue]]. Version-exclusive Pokémon usually complement each other in design, type, as well as location of appearance in the wild.

Below is a list of Pokémon exclusive to games. This list does not take note of Pokémon exclusive between [[Generation III]] [[Kanto]] and [[Hoenn]] games, simply because there are too many Pokémon that are native to each individual region to list; a better indicator of those Pokémon which are missing from each region would be the [[List of Pokémon by Kanto Dex number|Kanto Dex]] and [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Dex number|Hoenn Dex]]. However, even this does not take [[Generation II Pokémon]] into account, since the vast majority thereof is only listed in the [[National Dex]] of those games. Furthermore, a list of Pokémon missing from the Generation III GameCube games, [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and [[Pokémon XD|XD]], is far too long to be included in this context.

Take note that the Pokémon listed below are '''missing''' from that particular game, and will need to be traded from a game ''within the same generation'' that does not list them. Therefore, Pokémon obtainable in Generation II by trading with [[Generation I]], Pokémon obtainable in [[Generation IV]] by utilizing GBA games, and finally - [[legendary Pokémon]] that require attending promotional events, are all excluded from the following list.

It is of relevant note that in [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl]], most of the version exclusives of the GBA games can be caught in the wild by [[dongle method|inserting one of the GBA games into the DS]]. In Pokémon XD, the seven Emerald-absent Pokémon are all obtainable, thus eliminating the need in trading with either [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire|Pokémon Ruby]] or [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire|Sapphire]] (previously, ''both'' were required).

==Pokémon Mystery Dungeon==
As trading is not possible between these games, the listed Pokémon will appear in the wild only when a rescue mission involving the Pokémon is completed. This requires a wonder mail code from the alternate version, in which the Pokémon is normally found.

Pokémon world in relation to the real world

2007-10-22T00:02:30Z

System Error: /* Orre */ o wait

{{FAC notice}}
: ''The contents of this article are speculative.''
----
The design of five of the major Pokémon regions - [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], [[Hoenn]], [[Orre]], and [[Sinnoh]] are strikingly similar in geography and demographics to regions in the real world, specifically those of [[wp:Japan|Japan]].

[[Image:Locations.PNG|thumb|right|250px|The map of Japan showing the four Pokémon regions' relation to the said regional country. (from [http://www.pokewiki.de pokewiki.de])]]

==Kanto==
The [[wp:Kanto region|Kantō region]] of Japan is not only identical in name to [[Kanto]] in the Pokémon world, it is also very similar geographically; however, the western part of the game Kanto corresponds to eastern [[wp:Chubu region|Chūbu]].

==Sinnoh==
Sinnoh has been said to be an island like Hoenn, rather than a peninsula. It is based on the northernmost major island of Japan, [[wp:Hokkaido|Hokkaido]]. Part of [[wp:Sakhalin|Sakhalin]] (Japanese: 樺太 ''Karafuto'') and [[wp:Kunashir Island|Kunashir Island]] (Japanese: 国後島 ''Kunashiri Island''), territories which are in dispute between Russia and Japan, are also included.

==Landscape==
While the above locations are meant to correspond to the different regions of Japan, great liberties were taken with the design of their landscape. Some of the designers have admitted to drawing inspiration from real-world locations outside Japan.

===Orre===

Orre, or at least some of its areas, are based on [[wp:Arizona|Arizona]], [[wp:USA|USA]].

===Alto Mare===
Alto Mare is based on [[wp:Venice|Venice]], [[wp:Italy|Italy]].

===LaRousse City===
LaRousse City is based on [[wp:Vancouver, British Columbia|Vancouver]], [[wp:British Columbia|British Columbia]], [[wp:Canada|Canada]].

===Sootopolis City===
Sootopolis City is based on [[wp:Santorini|Santorini]], [[wp:Greece|Greece]].

==Real-world locations mentioned==
* {{p|Arcanine}}'s FireRed [[Pokédex]] entry states that it is mentioned [[wp:China|Chinese]] legends.
** {{p|Parasect}}'s Pokédex entry mentions it's spores are used in medicine in China.
* [[Lt. Surge]] is credited as "The Lightning [[wp:USA|American]]!".
* {{p|Mew}} was originally discovered in the jungles of the [[wp:South America|South American]] country [[wp:Guyana|Guyana]].
* {{p|Xatu}}'s FireRed Pokédex entry mentions its association with mysticism in South America.
* {{p|Poliwrath}}'s Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald Pokédex entries mention its ability to swim the [[wp:Pacific Ocean|Pacific Ocean]].
* {{p|Delibird}}'s Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald Pokedex entries explain that a Delibird helped a famous explorer reach the top of [[wp:Mount Everest|Mt. Everest]].
* [[Silph Co.]]'s [[wp:Tiksi|Tiksi]] Branch is in [[wp:Russia|Russia]].
* [[Meowth (Team Rocket)|Meowth]] grew up in [[wp:Hollywood|Hollywood]], [[wp:California|California]], which the cast later visits for a movie premiere.
* [[Fantina]] is assumed to come from [[wp:France|France]], due to the dialogue stated when the player fights her.
*In [[Mewtwo Strikes Back]], Team Rocket is disguised as [[wp:Vikings|vikings]]. In the English dub, [[Brock]] says that he didn't know that vikings still existed and [[Ash]] replies that they come from [[wp: Minnesota|Minnesota]]. This is cleary a reference to the [[wp:Minnesota Vikings|Minnesota Vikings]] football team.
*One of Gastly's Pokédex entries mentions how the gas it's made of can knock out an [[wp:India|Indian]] [[wp:Indian Elephant|Elephant]].

==Other applications of real-world locations==
* In [[Pokémon Gold and Silver|Pokémon Gold, Silver]], and [[Pokémon Crystal|Crystal]], [[Randy]], the guard in the guardhouse north of [[Goldenrod City]], will give the player a {{p|Spearow}} holding mail to deliver. The Spearow is nicknamed [[wp:Kenya|Kenya]], the name of a country in [[wp:Africa|Africa]].

Pokémon world in relation to the real world

2007-10-22T00:02:03Z

System Error: /* Orre */ This is probably right; I'm surprised no one has added it yet.

{{FAC notice}}
: ''The contents of this article are speculative.''
----
The design of five of the major Pokémon regions - [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], [[Hoenn]], [[Orre]], and [[Sinnoh]] are strikingly similar in geography and demographics to regions in the real world, specifically those of [[wp:Japan|Japan]].

[[Image:Locations.PNG|thumb|right|250px|The map of Japan showing the four Pokémon regions' relation to the said regional country. (from [http://www.pokewiki.de pokewiki.de])]]

==Kanto==
The [[wp:Kanto region|Kantō region]] of Japan is not only identical in name to [[Kanto]] in the Pokémon world, it is also very similar geographically; however, the western part of the game Kanto corresponds to eastern [[wp:Chubu region|Chūbu]].

==Landscape==
While the above locations are meant to correspond to the different regions of Japan, great liberties were taken with the design of their landscape. Some of the designers have admitted to drawing inspiration from real-world locations outside Japan.

===Orre===

Orre, or at least some of its areas, are based on [[wp:Arizona|Arizona]], [[wp:USA|USA]].

===Alto Mare===
Alto Mare is based on [[wp:Venice|Venice]], [[wp:Italy|Italy]].

===LaRousse City===
LaRousse City is based on [[wp:Vancouver, British Columbia|Vancouver]], [[wp:British Columbia|British Columbia]], [[wp:Canada|Canada]].

===Sootopolis City===
Sootopolis City is based on [[wp:Santorini|Santorini]], [[wp:Greece|Greece]].

==Real-world locations mentioned==
* {{p|Arcanine}}'s FireRed [[Pokédex]] entry states that it is mentioned [[wp:China|Chinese]] legends.
** {{p|Parasect}}'s Pokédex entry mentions it's spores are used in medicine in China.
* [[Lt. Surge]] is credited as "The Lightning [[wp:USA|American]]!".
* {{p|Mew}} was originally discovered in the jungles of the [[wp:South America|South American]] country [[wp:Guyana|Guyana]].
* {{p|Xatu}}'s FireRed Pokédex entry mentions its association with mysticism in South America.
* {{p|Poliwrath}}'s Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald Pokédex entries mention its ability to swim the [[wp:Pacific Ocean|Pacific Ocean]].
* {{p|Delibird}}'s Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald Pokedex entries explain that a Delibird helped a famous explorer reach the top of [[wp:Mount Everest|Mt. Everest]].
* [[Silph Co.]]'s [[wp:Tiksi|Tiksi]] Branch is in [[wp:Russia|Russia]].
* [[Meowth (Team Rocket)|Meowth]] grew up in [[wp:Hollywood|Hollywood]], [[wp:California|California]], which the cast later visits for a movie premiere.
* [[Fantina]] is assumed to come from [[wp:France|France]], due to the dialogue stated when the player fights her.
*In [[Mewtwo Strikes Back]], Team Rocket is disguised as [[wp:Vikings|vikings]]. In the English dub, [[Brock]] says that he didn't know that vikings still existed and [[Ash]] replies that they come from [[wp: Minnesota|Minnesota]]. This is cleary a reference to the [[wp:Minnesota Vikings|Minnesota Vikings]] football team.
*One of Gastly's Pokédex entries mentions how the gas it's made of can knock out an [[wp:India|Indian]] [[wp:Indian Elephant|Elephant]].

==Other applications of real-world locations==
* In [[Pokémon Gold and Silver|Pokémon Gold, Silver]], and [[Pokémon Crystal|Crystal]], [[Randy]], the guard in the guardhouse north of [[Goldenrod City]], will give the player a {{p|Spearow}} holding mail to deliver. The Spearow is nicknamed [[wp:Kenya|Kenya]], the name of a country in [[wp:Africa|Africa]].

In-game trade

2007-10-13T02:25:16Z

System Error: /* Generation I */

There are a variety of [[Trade|trades]] that can be made with trainers within the [[Pokémon games]]. These are usually for Pokémon that are difficult to obtain, a rarity at the point the trainer is reachable, or for Pokémon that can only be obtained through trading. All Pokémon received from an in-game trade will be at the same [[level]] as the Pokémon sent.

In-game trade

2007-10-13T02:23:35Z

System Error: /* Generation II */ It's been four or five years since I've played a Generation II game, so I can't remember much about their nicknames. I *think* these are right.

There are a variety of [[Trade|trades]] that can be made with trainers within the [[Pokémon games]]. These are usually for Pokémon that are difficult to obtain, a rarity at the point the trainer is reachable, or for Pokémon that can only be obtained through trading. All Pokémon received from an in-game trade will be at the same [[level]] as the Pokémon sent.

Talk:In-game trade

2007-10-13T02:02:25Z

System Error:

==Nicknames==
IMO, the nicknames section kind of makes things look cramped. It also kind of makes the article cross the line between providing useful information and being a triviafest. And the (necessary) all caps sticks out like a sore thumb and makes it look bad. But I'm mostly concerned about the cramping. What do you guys think? - [[User:System Error|System Error]]

:Mmm.. it IS a list of in-game trades however. I would like to know what nickname my Mr Mime is getting, and the cramping problem doesn't show up for me (I'm using a widescreen monitor though).. [[User:TinaTheKirlia|Tina]][[User talk:TinaTheKirlia|The]][[Kirlia (Pokémon)|Kirlia]] ♥ [[Image:281MS.gif]] 01:39, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
::*It's not somuch the fact that it takes up a lot of space as it is...well, actually, that pretty much is what it's about. It has little to do with the size of the screen, though. I am using a 1024x768 resolution, and it still looks bad. Maybe it's just that only one of the sections has the nicknames at the moment, though. - [[User:System Error|System Error]] 01:46, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
::{{U|TTEchidna}} suggested putting the nicks in on [[Talk:Trade]] in May. [[User:Zurqoxn|Zurqoxn]] 01:41, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
:::*Yes, I know. However, I designed the formatting tables for the page in August. Fun fact: I did want to put the nicknames into the tables originally, but I couldn't find a way to do so without making it look bad (plus there was the problem of actually getting them). I also wanted to explain some of them too, but there's not really much to explain about many of them (most are plays on the Pokemon's name or something very obvious), and there's really no place on the page for them, so I scrapped that idea even before the nickname one.

In-game trade

2007-10-13T01:22:02Z

System Error: /* Generation I */ Upon checking again, I discovered that Red and Blue have the same trades (the Nidorino/Nidorina difference was only in the remakes), so I put the two together.

There are a variety of trades that can be made with trainers within the game. These are usually for Pokémon that are difficult to obtain, a rarity at the point the trainer is reachable, or for Pokémon that can only be obtained through trading. All Pokémon received from an in-game trade will be at the same level as the Pokémon sent.

Weather

System Error: /* Generation III */ Changing some things and removing an opinion

'''Weather conditions''' are a feature that was implemented into the Pokémon games in [[Generation II]], and expanded upon in Generations [[Generation III|III]] and [[Generation IV|IV]]. During these games, weather depended upon where a battle took place, or even whether a Pokémon had used a specific [[move]] or [[ability]].

In the second generation, when the first conditions were introduced, some moves came to have an advantage with them, notably, {{m|Solarbeam}} and {{m|Thunder}}, both of which would be nearly deadly with the right conditions.

During the third and fourth generations, many abilities also took advantage of a particular weather condition, some using them to heighten certain [[stat]]s or to recover [[Stat#Hit Points|HP]]. Others still would activate the conditions themselves, with two of the [[Legendary trio|three]] [[Hoenn]]-based [[Weather trio|weather legendaries]] activating battle-long sun and rain, and the third preventing all weather conditions with [[Air Lock (ability)|its ability]].

==Current weather conditions==

==History==
===Generation II===
In the second-generation games, three [[move]]s were introduced that could change the weather during a battle to alter the playing field slightly. These moves were {{m|Sunny Day}}, which created five turns worth of intense sunlight and allowed a Pokémon to attack with [[Solarbeam]] without waiting a turn; {{m|Rain Dance}}, which gave five turns of heavy rain and increased [[Thunder]]'s accuracy to 100%; and {{m|Sandstorm}}, which made a wild sandstorm that lasted for the same amount of turns. These three moves could change the course of a battle, with intense sun and heavy rain powering up {{t|Fire}}- and {{t|Water}}-type moves, and powering down the other, respectively, and a sandstorm slightly damaging any Pokémon not of the {{t|Rock}}-, {{t|Ground}}-, or {{t|Steel}}-types.

===Generation III===
In the third generation, the [[version mascot|title Pokémon]] of the three Hoenn-based versions had weather-related abilities. {{p|Groudon}}'s ability allowed for intense sunlight to fill the arena until the battle ended, or another weather effect took its place. Likewise, its counterpart {{p|Kyogre}}'s ability made heavy rain that lasted until the end of the battle or until another weather effect superceded it. Emerald Version's mascot, however, had a different way of affecting the playing field. While {{p|Rayquaza}} is battling, all effects of the weather are essentially negated, though the actual sunlight/rain/sandstorm/hail remains going. (The {{p|Psyduck}} line possess a similar ability.)

Another Pokémon, one which was not available in Ruby or Sapphire without trading, also had a weather-based ability. {{p|Tyranitar}}, once fully evolved from a {{p|Larvitar}} captured in FireRed or LeafGreen, has the ability {{a|Sand Stream}}, which causes a sandstorm that lasts until the end of the battle or until another weather-changing move is made. This makes it almost useless for a Tyranitar to have the move {{m|Sandstorm}} itself, as the sandstorm is automatically activated as it comes into battle.

Ruby and Sapphire also debuted another weather-changing move, {{m|Hail}}, which, like {{m|Sunny Day}}, {{m|Rain Dance}}, and {{m|Sandstorm}} before it, changes the weather for five turns, this time to an icy hailstorm. However, this move, and weather effect, have more in common with Sandstorm than with the other two. For the five turns that it's hailing, all Pokémon who are not {{t|Ice}}-type are damaged.

===={{p|Castform}}====
Also in Generation III, one of the [[:Category:Generation III Pokémon|135 Pokémon released]] was a quirky little {{t|Normal}}-type called '''Castform'''. When in a battle where no weather effects were present, Castform is quite unremarkable. However, when any of the effects besides a sandstorm are applied, Castform's type and shape change to match the weather, due to its ability, {{a|Forecast}}. Also, when it is leveled up, it learns a move called {{m|Weather Ball}}, which also changes type with the weather, doubling its power when any weather was in effect. Unlike Forecast, Weather Ball's type differs even in a sandstorm, becoming a {{t|Rock}}-type move.

===Generation IV===
Within the fourth generation, the weather effects seem to be going strong. At one point in [[Sinnoh]], it is actually possible to travel on a [[Route 217|route covered in snow]]. Also in Generation IV, a [[Snow Warning (ability)|new ability]] was released that serves much like {{a|Drought}}, {{a|Drizzle}}, and {{a|Sand Stream}}, excepting the fact that it permanently activates a hailstorm instead of sunlight, rain, or sandstorm.

Another new weather condition introduced in Generation IV was the fog condition. Instead of having a move to activate it, however, there was a move introduced to ''clear'' it.

More interesting things introduced within Generation IV were other conditions that had nothing to do with the weather, but behaved similarly to the weather-activating moves. Like the weather conditions, these moves would affect all Pokémon on the field for five turns, and in various ways. For example, [[Gravity (move)|one move]] would rid [[Levitate (ability)|Levitating]] Pokémon of their powers, and force both them and {{type2|Flying}}s to take damage from {{type2|Ground}} moves, as well as disabling moves like {{m|Fly}} and {{m|Bounce}}, whereas another, {{m|Magnet Rise}}, makes the user invulnerable to {{type2|Ground}} moves, again for five turns. Also, {{m|Trick Room}} alters the dimensions for five turns, making slower Pokémon attack first.
