Do we have any word on what the new region(s) will be? It'll be based on unused portions of real-world Japan, will it? (Like [[wikipedia:Shikoku|Shikoku]], for instance?)  --[[User:Tanaka Shimoya|Tanaka Shimoya]] 06:23, 9 April 2010 (UTC)

== Worth noting? ==

I was wondering if it was worth noting in the article that this is the first time 2 generations of Pokemon games have come out on the same system.--[[User:Pkmn|Pkmn]]
:{{game|Gold and Silver|s}} were both produced as enhanced Game Boy cartridges. So ''technically'', Gen I & II are the first two generations to come out on the same system. - [[User:Kogoro|'''<sc>Kogoro</sc>''']] '''|''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''<sc>Talk to me</sc>''']] - 19:20, 9 April 2010 (UTC)

I was wondering if it is relevant to include in the trivia that the games were the 88th most popular searches in Google reported around 9 A.M but occupied this place around 8a.m {{Unsigned|EmpoleonMaster}}

== Vehicles ==

Just thought i'd point out before it's mentioned on this page, but the shot of a bridge with cars driving underneath ISN'T the first vehicle in a Pokémon game, as most people seem to forget the moving van in the opening of the Hoenn games.

== Irony ==

Would it be worth to note the irony in the fact that the first Pokémon games, named after ''colours'', were in ''greyscale'', and now these games, named after excessively dark and excessively light ''shades of grey'', are in third-dimensional 1900+-bit ''colour''?

== Gray Version ==

Do '''''not''''' discuss that here. Just like people thought from the get-go that the third version of RS was gonna be a green gem (Emerald) and third version of DP was gonna have Giratina as a mascot (Platinum), people think from the get-go that the third version to Black and White will be Gray. Congratulations! There's a ''forum'' where you can talk about it. Bulbagarden Forums has a fifth generation subforum, and that is easily a better place to put your crappy speculation for a third version to games that don't come out until the end of the year when the ''last'' third version we got took two years after its primaries to be released. And it will be Gray if it is, because "grey" is a synonym for "old". '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 01:14, 15 April 2010 (UTC)

== Shiny legendary dogs to unlock feature in Black/White ==

As seen in recent Pokémon news, [[shiny]] [[legendary beasts]], to be given away at the [[m13|new movie's]] premiere in Japan, will unlock a feature in the upcoming Black and White.

They have unique moves that are not normally known by {{p|Raikou}}, {{p|Suicune}} and {{p|Entei}}. Raikou will know {{m|Zap Cannon}}, {{m|Aura Sphere}}, and {{m|Weather Ball}} and will hold the [[Micle berry]]; Suicune will know {{m|Sheer Cold}}, {{m|Air Slash}}, and {{m|Aqua Ring}} and will hold the [[Rowap berry]]; and Entei will know {{m|Flare Blitz}}, {{m|Howl}}, and {{m|Crush Claw}} and will hold the [[Custap berry]].

== Gray Version ==

Do '''''not''''' discuss that here. Just like people thought from the get-go that the third version of RS was gonna be a green gem (Emerald) and third version of DP was gonna have Giratina as a mascot (Platinum), people think from the get-go that the third version to Black and White will be Gray. Congratulations! There's a ''forum'' where you can talk about it. Bulbagarden Forums has a fifth generation subforum, and that is easily a better place to put your crappy speculation for a third version to games that don't come out until the end of the year when the ''last'' third version we got took two years after its primaries to be released. And it will be Gray if it is, because "grey" is a synonym for "old". '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 01:14, 15 April 2010 (UTC)

== Vehicles ==

Just thought i'd point out before it's mentioned on this page, but the shot of a bridge with cars driving underneath ISN'T the first vehicle in a Pokémon game, as most people seem to forget the moving van in the opening of the Hoenn games. A minor point, but one i always seem to remember :P [[User:Dawnshadow|Dawnshadow]] 13:52, 11 April 2010 (UTC)

== Irony ==

Would it be worth to note the irony in the fact that the first Pokémon games, named after ''colours'', were in ''greyscale'', and now these games, named after excessively dark and excessively light ''shades of grey'', are in third-dimensional 1900+-bit ''colour''?

== Gray Version ==

Do '''''not''''' discuss that here. Just like people thought from the get-go that the third version of RS was gonna be a green gem (Emerald) and third version of DP was gonna have Giratina as a mascot (Platinum), people think from the get-go that the third version to Black and White will be Gray. Congratulations! There's a ''forum'' where you can talk about it. Bulbagarden Forums has a fifth generation subforum, and that is easily a better place to put your crappy speculation for a third version to games that don't come out until the end of the year when the ''last'' third version we got took two years after its primaries to be released. And it will be Gray if it is, because "grey" is a synonym for "old". '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 01:14, 15 April 2010 (UTC)

== Shiny legendary dogs to unlock feature in Black/White ==

As seen in recent Pokémon news, [[shiny]] [[legendary beasts]], to be given away at the [[m13|new movie's]] premiere in Japan, will unlock a feature in the upcoming Black and White.

They have unique moves that are not normally known by {{p|Raikou}}, {{p|Suicune}} and {{p|Entei}}. Raikou will know {{m|Zap Cannon}}, {{m|Aura Sphere}}, and {{m|Weather Ball}} and will hold the [[Micle berry]]; Suicune will know {{m|Sheer Cold}}, {{m|Air Slash}}, and {{m|Aqua Ring}} and will hold the [[Rowap berry]]; and Entei will know {{m|Flare Blitz}}, {{m|Howl}}, and {{m|Crush Claw}} and will hold the [[Custap berry]].

The first paragraphs of the article:

''In addition to the improved graphics, a number of aesthetic changes have been made from previous generations, including an altered battle scene, speech balloons for dialog, and a combined Pokémon Center and Poké Mart building.''

Shoddy Battle

2010-05-30T21:10:33Z

Zelrio: /* Affiliation with Smogon */

'''Shoddy Battle''' is a free online Pokémon battle simulator developed in Java. It incorporates a forum and a team builder into one program, free to download for Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X, and GNU/Linux.

== Development ==
Shoddy Battle is primarily developed using Java by Colin and Bearzly, though it is noted that the Shoddy Battle 2 server will be written in C++.

== Releases ==
=== Version 1.7 ===
* ''Release Date: September 19th, 2008''
This is the current version of Shoddy Battle. This latest update added battle mechanics updates to correspond with [[Pokémon Platinum Version]].

=== Version 2.0 ===
* ''Release Date: Late 2009''
On April 27th 2009, Colin (lead developer of Shoddy Battle) announced plans for Shoddy Battle 2. This would be a major code change and mechanics upgrade to the application allowing for features such as [[Double battle|double battles]], improved networking and multiple language support. The server code will be developed in C++ as opposed to the Java-based server that currently exists.

It is noted that bugs and issues with versions before 2.0 will no longer be fixed by the developers, effectively leaving its java-based development to [[Pokénet]], an open-source Pokémon MMORPG which uses Shoddy Battle for its battle system.

== Affiliation with Smogon ==
On April 24th 2009, Shoddy Battle announced that they were affiliating with [[Smogon|Smogon University]]. This led to their forums being replaced by a dedicated section on the Smogon Forums.

== Source Code ==
The source code to Shoddy Battle is available under GNU Affero General Public License Version 3 and can be viewed online at their [http://sourceforge.net/projects/shoddybattle Sourceforge CVS]. Source code for Shoddy Battle 2 is licensed under the same terms and can be viewed at the [http://shoddybattle.com/hg Mercurial Repository].

{{bulbanews|game}}
{{StrategyWiki|Pokémon Platinum}}
'''Pokémon Platinum Version''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスタープラチナ''' ''Pocket Monsters Platinum'') is the third game to {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, and is the third [[Generation IV]] [[main series]] game. The game was first seen on May 11, 2008 when a low-resolution cell-phone picture of an upcoming issue of [[CoroCoro]] magazine was leaked around the Internet. On May 15, the magazine was officially released and the game was also officially confirmed by Nintendo. The game was released in Japan on September 13, 2008, in North America on March 22, 2009, in Australia on May 14, 2009, in Europe on May 22, 2009 and in Korea on July 2, 2009.

Like previous third versions, the region and starting area remain the same as in previously released paired versions; in Platinum, the player begins his or her journey from [[Twinleaf Town]] across all of [[Sinnoh]].

==Changes from Pokémon Diamond and Pearl==
===Aesthetic changes===
* {{ga|Lucas}}, {{ga|Dawn}}, and {{ga|Barry}} have different outfits designed for colder weather, as the entire Sinnoh region has changed in temperature.
* The template for the [[level]], {{stat|Hit Points|HP}}, and name of Pokémon in battle is a dark gray instead of white, and its shape has changed.
* The [[Pokétch]] has been redesigned. Players can now move up and down between apps instead of having to go through all of them to return to a previous one.
* Some of the [[move]]s have been redesigned and have a different animation, such as {{m|Razor Leaf}} and {{m|Spacial Rend}}.
* When Pokémon are sent out from their [[Poké Ball]]s, their back sprites now animate much like their front sprites have since {{v2|Emerald}} (i.e., multiple frames of animation in addition to the various distortions and filters already used). Front sprites for {{cat|Generation IV Pokémon}} and other Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by Sinnoh Pokédex number|Sinnoh Pokédex]] have also changed. Certain Pokémon not in the Sinnoh Pokédex, like {{p|Meowth}}, also received a change in sprites.
* When battling certain {{pkmn|Trainer}}s such as [[Gym Leader]]s, [[Frontier Brain]]s and {{ga|Barry}}, the Trainers' sprites are now animated to move in the same manner as Pokémon.
* Some trainers now use [[seals]] when sending out some of their Pokémon.
* The {{Gym|Eterna}}, {{Gym|Hearthome}}, and [[Veilstone Gym]]s have all had complete redesigns in the interior.
* Closeups of Gym Leaders, just before a battle, have been changed from enlarged sprites to higher-quality drawings and the terms VS;  the Frontier Brains also have this feature. The Elite Four have this as well, but the animation includes the player on the left side of the "VS." and the Elite Four member on the right side.
* The rooms where the player battle the {{si|Elite Four}} have been redesigned. {{EF|Aaron}} now has logs and foliage in his room. [[Bertha]] now has rocks in her room. {{EF|Flint}} now contains lava pits in his room. [[Lucian]]'s room has only had minor changes to now include four large lights or glowing orbs on the floor. [[Cynthia]]'s room has changed its color scheme and the lift leading up to the [[Hall of Fame]] is now partially contained. The [[Pokémon Center]] at the Elite Four has also been redesigned.
* When entering new areas, the location "labels" on the top-left corner have been redesigned, much like they were between {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}} and {{game|Emerald}}.
*All gyms now only have Pokémon of their type specialty.
*{{p|Pikachu}} and {{p|Pachirisu}} are now featured when entering Wi-Fi.
*The [[Pal Pad]] has been given a new design.
*The [[Junichi Masuda|game director]] at [[Hotel Grand Lake]] now has an overhead sprite of his own. The [[Diploma]] also was redesigned.
* When the player starts the battle with the Giratina in the [[Distortion World]], instead of displaying "A wild GIRATINA appeared!", it displays "The Distortion World's GIRATINA appeared!". It is referred to as "the wild GIRATINA" in other instances, such as attacking, however.
* The trees on the mainland have sharper angles and a point at the top, compared to rounded branches and a rounded top in Diamond and Pearl.

* The battle menu was redesigned.

===Storyline changes===
* The player meets [[Professor Rowan]] and the opposite gender character earlier, and obtains his or her [[starter Pokémon]] on [[Route 201]].
* The first battle is against the player's rival, who, as always, has chosen the starter Pokémon that weakens that of the player.
* The player and the rival now encounter [[Cyrus]] at [[Lake Verity]] at the start of the game. The player can also meet Cyrus at different venues such as the [[Eterna City]] statue.
* Both {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}} appear on [[Spear Pillar]]. {{p|Giratina}}, the mascot of Platinum, then phases into [[Pokémon universe|the world]] in front of [[Cyrus]].
* A new area known as the [[Distortion World]] (Japanese: やぶれたせかい ''Torn World'') is playable. It has floor-like sections floating at ninety-degree angles from each other, creating an effect similar to the art of {{wp|M. C. Escher}}. It doesn't follow the {{wp|Laws of Physics}}, making things like {{m|surf}}ing down a waterfall going up possible. The camera angle switches between perspective and isometric views to suit the angle of the player. It also has moving platforms with jumpable gaps between them. Giratina, when here, will be in its Origin Forme and is also the only wild Pokémon located here.
* Two new characters to the main storyline were added. One is [[Charon]], a professor and commander of [[Team Galactic]], and the other is a police officer spying on Team Galactic, using the codename "[[Looker]]".
* A tag battle between the player and his or her {{ga|Barry|rival}} against {{EF|Flint}} and [[Volkner]] takes place at the entrance to the {{gdis|Battle Frontier|IV}} when the player first arrives there.
* [[Team Galactic]]'s plans to re-create the world have changed slightly. The layouts of their HQs, such as the one in Eterna, have been changed. Team Galactic now utilizes more resources in order to reach their goal, as well as explaining why, in-game, such as the power from the [[Valley Windworks]], as well as planting a bomb on the [[Great Marsh]] for attention in order to allow more people to realize what they're trying to do.
* Some of the [[Gym Leader]]s have been reordered: [[Fantina]] is now the third Gym Leader, [[Maylene]] is the fourth and [[Crasher Wake]] is the fifth. The appearance of players' gym badge case stays the same though.
* {{ga|Dawn}}/{{ga|Lucas}} no longer gives the player the [[Dowsing Machine]] or the [[Vs. Seeker]] near the [[Route 206]] junction; instead he/she meets the player at the entrance to [[Mt. Coronet]].
*[[Team Galactic]] appears in [[Stark Mountain]] under the command of [[Charon]], who seeks to use the destructive power of the volcano to extort money from the people of Sinnoh. The player, with help from [[Buck]], must defeat them. During this event, [[Mars]] and [[Jupiter]] quit Team Galactic because Charon does not share the same ideals as ex-boss [[Cyrus]]. Ultimately, Charon and his two accompanying grunts are apprehended by [[Looker]] and two policemen.
* After the aforementioned event, the player is able to challenge all the [[Gym Leader]]s of Sinnoh to rematches in the [[Battleground]]. The player's tag battle partners from throughout the game ([[Cheryl]], [[Buck]], [[Marley]], [[Mira]], and [[Riley]]) are also able to be challenged in this place. Each of the 13 characters has a team of five Pokémon, whose levels are between 61 and 66.
* The {{si|Elite Four}} increase their Pokémon's levels after the player has completed the [[Stark Mountain]] event. Their levels are now between 65 and 78.
* When one finishes the [[Stark Mountain]] quest, instead of the [[rival]] appearing at the [[Fight Area]] on weekends, he now appears at the [[Survival Area]] in front of the [[Battleground]]. During the first battle, the levels of the Pokémon in his party range from 59-65, second battle 69-75, and third and beyond 79-85. On his last battle, he was the trainer with the highest-leveled Pokémon in all main series games, until {{ga|Red}}'s team in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}.
* When first visiting the [[Resort Area]], the player receives a [[villa]]. Inside on a table is a catalog that lists items that can be purchased to furnish the house in the same manner as decorating a secret base. The player will be visited by NPCs such as the Sinnoh Gym Leaders, the player's [[mom]], [[Professor Rowan]], and the rival.

===Gameplay changes===
[[Image:PlatinumJapanese.png|thumb|right|200px|Japanese version box art.]]
* Giratina's cry will be heard when "Start" or "A" are pressed at the title screen, unlike in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} which just play a snippet of the title theme's melody. It shares this trait with some games from previous generations.
* The Wi-Fi area has been enhanced with the [[Wi-Fi Plaza]], which supports up to 20 people at a time. The new area seems to focus exclusively on mini-games, which include '' Wobbuffet Pop'', where players hit a {{p|Wobbuffet}}, ''Mime Jr. Top'', where players can balance {{p|Mime Jr.}} on a ball and ''Swalot Plop'' where players throw berries at a {{p|Swalot}} machine.
* There is a new [[key item]] called the [[Vs. Recorder]] (given by [[Looker]] when the player first meets him in [[Jubilife City]]), which allows players to record battles in {{gdis|Battle Frontier|IV}} and Wi-Fi, and share the records with other players over the [[Global Terminal|GTS]]. Players can also take pictures of their [[PC]] boxes and share them with other players in a similar fashion.
* The [[Global Terminal|GTS]] has incorporated an e-mail system that allows players to be notified of completed trades. Notification messages are sent to the player's e-mail account, which can be viewed through the player's PC, mobile phone, or Wii system.
** In non-Japanese versions, however, the system was downgraded to Wii messaging only. Thus, in these versions, notification messages are sent and must be viewed through the Wii's Message Board.
* The Sinnoh starters and their evolutions are now allowed in an expanded [[Amity Square]], making a total of 20 Pokémon allowed in the Square.
* Over local wireless, there is a new feature called ''Spin Trade'' where the player and their friends can put their Pokémon eggs in and randomly swap. Trainers that obtain eggs that land on the ''Bonus Area'', the spotted ones, get a berry too.
* {{HM|05|Defog}} is now located inside the [[Solaceon Ruins]] instead of the [[Pastoria Great Marsh]].
* The player now receives {{HM|04|Strength}} from [[Riley]] on [[Iron Island]] instead of in the [[Lost Tower]].
* The player can now challenge other trainers in certain [[Pokémon Center]]s. The trainer(s) are located in front of the desk. These trainers change location every day.
* In addition to the move tutors in Diamond and Pearl, three new [[move tutors]] are added, in [[Snowpoint City]], on [[Route 212]] and in the [[Survival Area]].
* The {{stat|Accuracy}} of {{m|Hypnosis}} was changed back to 60.
* The game's speed with some features is faster compared to Diamond and Pearl, particularly while {{m|Surf|surfing}} and during {{pkmn|battle}}s. These improvements make the game almost as fast as the [[Generation III]] games, though the player still walks slower than the Generation III standard, and the FPS of Platinum is only 30.
* Poffins can be made with others via Wi-Fi.
* A man in the [[Veilstone Game Corner]]'s Prize Exchange House can tell the player the type of {{m|Hidden Power}} their Pokémon has, and a man in the {{si|Battle Tower}} is able to judge the [[Individual values]] of the player Pokémon.
* The price of the [[accessory|accessories]] at [[Pick a Peck of Colors Flower Shop]] on [[Floaroma Town]] has been reduced.
* European versions of the game are no longer able to play [[slot machine]]s. These versions of the game replace slot machines with [[game machine]]s, a machine that simply gives coins to the player with little interactivity. The reason this was done is due to recent implementation of stricter legislation against gambling in the European Union. This issue will cause similar changes in future European versions of Pokémon games as well.
*As in [[Generation II|Generations II]] and III, it is possible to ride a bicycle in gatehouses separating cities or towns and routes, something that was made impossible in Diamond and Pearl.
* When the player uses his or her radar while in [[the Underground]], it takes two seconds before another radar signal to be used. In Diamond and Pearl, it only took one second.
*To be able to catch Dialga and Palkia, the player must have obtained the Adamant Orb and the Lustrous Orb in a cave accessed through the snowfields of [[Mt. Coronet]] and must have faced Giratina, whether it was caught or not. Then the player can go up [[Mt. Coronet]] to where Giratina took the player and Cyrus in to the [[Distortion World]].
*The Lustrous and Adamant Orbs are no longer found at the back of where they are faced in Diamond and Pearl, instead it must be found in a cave somewhere in the snow fields of [[Mt. Coronet]].
* If a legendary Pokémon is not captured, it will reappear after defeating the [[Elite Four]]. However, they will not appear again if they have been caught.

====Obtainable Pokémon====
* 59 more Pokémon have been added to the [[List of Pokémon by Sinnoh Pokédex number|Sinnoh Pokédex]] to give it a grand total of 210 entries, with all non-legendary Pokémon introduced in Generation IV now included, along with their pre-evolved forms and several other Pokémon. The added Pokémon, such as {{p|Rotom}} and {{p|Giratina}}, are now available prior to the [[Elite Four]] challenge.
* Giratina can appear both as Altered Forme and Origin Forme in Platinum. It will appear in Origin Forme while in the [[Distortion World]], and in Altered Forme while out of it. A {{DL|Type-enhancing item|Griseous Orb}} is required to transform it to its Origin Forme outside of the Distortion World.
** The [[ability]] of Origin Forme is {{a|Levitate}} and its [[Stats|base stats]] mirror those of Altered Forme in that the offensive stats have been switched with their respective defensive stats.
* {{p|Shaymin}}'s new Forme is called ''Sky Forme'' and takes on a canine appearance. Its [[ability]] is {{a|Serene Grace}} and the forme is focused on {{stat|Speed}} and {{stat|Special Attack}}. It is able to learn new moves like {{m|Quick Attack}}, {{m|Air Slash}} and {{m|Leaf Storm}}.
** Shaymin is able to change between its two forms via the use of the {{OBP|Gracidea|flower}}. This item doesn't work at [[Time#Times of day|night]] or if Shaymin is {{status|Freeze|frozen}}.
* {{p|Rotom}} has new forms as well. Each of the five forms is a Rotom that has possessed an electrical appliance. Despite having visual characteristics of other types, the five forms share the original Rotom's {{t|Electric}} and {{t|Ghost}} types, whereas their [[Stat|base stats]] are far higher. They also share the original Rotom's ability: {{a|Levitate}}. These Pokémon are not normally available and are therefore banned from official tournaments. The item to unlock these Pokémon in the game, the {{OBP|Secret Key|Generation IV}}, is an event-only item.
* {{p|Regirock}}, {{p|Regice}} and {{p|Registeel}} can be caught at level 30 with the help of an event {{p|Regigigas}} that has been distributed in Nintendo events.
* {{p|Regigigas}} is now found at level 1, making it the lowest-[[level]] non-glitch wild Pokémon in a game, along with {{p|Magikarp}}. It's also the lowest-level non-glitch legendary in a game.
* The [[legendary birds]] can be found as roaming Pokémon after the [[National Pokédex]] is obtained. They roam Sinnoh much like {{p|Mesprit}} and {{p|Cresselia}} do. The player has to talk to [[Professor Oak]] in [[Eterna City]] to trigger their appearance. They are all at level 60.
* {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}} appear on [[Spear Pillar]] one at a time after the player has spoken with Cynthia's grandmother in [[Celestic Town]], and obtained the [[Type-enhancing item#Adamant Orb|Adamant]] and {{DL|Type-enhancing item|Lustrous Orb}}s in [[Mt. Coronet]].
* [[Cynthia]] now gives the player a [[Pokémon egg]] containing {{p|Togepi}} after the player has defeated Team Galactic at the [[Galactic Eterna Building]], replacing the {{p|Happiny}} Egg previously obtainable in [[Hearthome City]].
* [[Bebe]] now gives the player an {{p|Eevee}} before the player receives the [[National Pokédex]]; Eevee can now be obtained from the first time the player arrives in [[Hearthome City]]. It is at level 20.
* A man in [[Veilstone City]] gives the player a level 25 {{p|Porygon}} as a gift.
* {{p|Manaphy}}, while still uncatchable in-game, is now required to obtain the [[National Pokédex]]. It can be added to the [[List of Pokémon by Sinnoh Pokédex number|Sinnoh Pokédex]] from finding its picture in a book in the {{OBP|Pokémon Mansion|Sinnoh}}.

===Map changes===
* Much like the [[Pokémon Emerald Version|third version of the last generation]], a new {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|IV}} takes the place of the {{si|Battle Park}}. It has the {{si|Battle Tower}}, {{DL|Battle Frontier (Generation IV)|Battle Factory}}, {{DL|Battle Frontier (Generation IV)|Battle Castle}}, {{DL|Battle Frontier (Generation IV)|Battle Arcade}} and {{DL|Battle Frontier (Generation IV)|Battle Hall}} as venues.
* [[Twinleaf Town]] and nearby routes now have snow patches.
* [[Jubilife City]] has been refurbished with new pathways and some buildings have animated roof lights.
* The [[Global Terminal|Global Trade Station]] in [[Jubilife City]] has been redesigned and now includes a bigger global terminal. It has been renamed as the ''Global Terminal''.
* [[Oreburgh Mine]] now has twin coal transporters starting from the entrance and ending at the entrance to the last section of the mine and are now moving.
* An arch now represents the entrances to [[Floaroma Town]].
* The trees in [[Eterna Forest]], as well as [[Fullmoon Island]] and [[Newmoon Island]], cast shadows that cover the ground.
* [[Eterna City]] has been refurbished with new foliage and pathways. Also the [[Galactic Eterna Building]] has had a complete redesign, inside and out. It now contains a secret room where Rotom can switch between its forms.
* [[Route 206|Cycling Road]] has been redesigned and now has tunnel-like shelters in the middle of the Cycle Route, as well as lights along the sides of it.
* [[Hearthome City]] has been refurbished with new pathways.
* [[Amity Square]] has been completely remodeled. It now includes a small pond, more paths and more upper levels. The old buildings that previously inhabited Amity Square now contain Warp Panels which transport the player to the other old buildings within Amity Square.
* [[Lost Tower]] has had its color scheme changed and now has fog on three of its five floors, which can be cleared by {{HM|05|Defog}}.
* [[Solaceon Town]]'s houses have been remodeled and the [[Pokémon Daycare]] now has a trough filled with water and tent-like shelters.
* [[Veilstone City]] has been refurbished with new pathways. The [[Galactic Veilstone Building]] has been redesigned, inside and out. The [[Veilstone Department Store]] now has a basement, in which contest items can be sold and bought. Berries and Lava Cookies can be bought as well.
* The [[Hotel Grand Lake]] has been refurbished with new pathways.
* [[Pastoria City]]'s houses have been remodeled and now also includes a board with a {{p|Croagunk}} on it which is located in front of the [[Great Marsh]]. On occasions, if the player stands behind the Croagunk Wall with the player's head sticking out of it, a wild Croagunk will come, but it will just cry and walk into the Great Marsh building.
* The [[Great Marsh]] has had its color scheme changed and has also had foliage changed and added.
* [[Celestic Town]]'s houses have been remodeled.
* [[Canalave City]] has been refurbished with new pathways and its houses and library have also been remodeled.
* The player now needs to use {{HM|08|Rock Climb}} to reach [[Lake Acuity]].
* The area of water to the south of [[Snowpoint City]] where the player can get a boat to the [[Battle Zone]] now contains a small amount of icebergs. These can also be seen in the ocean when the boat is crossing to the Battle Zone. The boat has also been redesigned, most likely due to the icebergs in the sea.
* The back area of [[Spear Pillar]] has been slightly redesigned to allow more room for the [[Dragon Trio]] when they appear.
* [[Sunyshore City]] has been refurbished with new pathways and its houses have been remodeled.
* The entrance and exit of {{si|Victory Road}} have become wider, having a [[Poké Ball]] at the center of the arch.
* The [[Battle Zone]] is now warmer, and palm trees can be found there.
* [[Stark Mountain]] now has more features evocative of a {{wp|volcano}}, such as crags and pits of lava.
* The {{si|Pokémon Mansion}} is surrounded by golden railings.

===Missing Pokémon===
These Pokémon are unavailable in Platinum. To be obtained they must be [[trade]]d from the other games of [[Generation IV]] or [[Pal Park|imported]] from a game from [[Generation III]].

==Reception==
Upon its release, Pokémon Platinum received very good review scores from critics. IGN gave the game a "Great" score with an 8.8 out of 10 stating that, "Yes, It's still good. Even two years later".<ref>[http://ds.ign.com/articles/965/965092p1.html IGN: Pokemon Platinum Version Review] (retrieved December 21, 2009)</ref> It currently holds an 83% rating on Gamerankings.com, while being reviewed by a total of 34 sources.<ref>[http://www.gamerankings.com/ds/946308-pokemon-platinum-version/index.html Gamerankings: Pokemon Platinum Version] (retrieved January 18, 2010)</ref>

{{wp|Famitsū}}, a Japanese video game magazine, noted that Platinum was the fastest selling game released for the Nintendo DS. It also had the tenth highest selling figures of any game for 2009, and was the only game for the DS to place in the top ten.<ref>[http://videogames.yahoo.com/events/plugged-in/nintendo-call-of-duty-dominate-09-game-sales-figures/1385597] Game sales data 2009 (retrieved January 16, 2010)</ref>

==Connectivity==
The game can connect automatically to {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} once players have access to a [[Pokémon Center]]. It can also connect to [[Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia]] and obtain Pokémon received from [[Ranger Net]] Special Missions. It retains the same compatibility with [[Generation III]] games and [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]] as its predecessors, but [[My Pokémon Ranch]] requires an update to work with Platinum that is only available in Japan. Pokémon Battle Revolution also wasn't programmed to be compatible with Platinum, so new formes will not appear.

==Trivia==
*This is the first game where a [[version mascot]]'s primary color is not the name of the game. However, while no color is especially dominant in {{p|Giratina}}'s color scheme, it has gray elements that the "Platinum" may refer to, and the names ''Giratina'' and ''Platina'' share the same word ending.
* Platinum is the first game to be named after a metal since {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, and the first game to not be named after a precious stone since then.
** It also makes [[Generation IV]] the first generation in which two game names have the same first initial in English ('''P'''earl and '''P'''latinum). However, other languages have had the same initial in their game names, with Spanish '''A'''zul and '''A'''marillo for Blue and Yellow and German '''S'''aphir and '''S'''maragd for Sapphire and Emerald. Coincidentally, all three of these are the respective second and third versions of their generation.
* A small cosmetic mistake was made during the development of Platinum. Normally, when the player picks up an item on the ground, it disappears and the message saying "[Player] received a(n)/the [item]". However, when the player approaches the Poké Ball containing the {{DL|Type-enhancing item|Griseous Orb}}, it displays "[Player] received a Griseous Orb!" ''before'' it disappears. This was corrected in the English version of the game.
**In the [[Turnback Cave]], however, the item in the last room by the portal still has this mistake.
*All of the Pokémon in the Sinnoh Pokédex as well as a few other non-Sinnoh native Pokémon got new sprite designs, as is customary for third versions. However, the {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}} sprites are still used when the player dresses up the Pokémon either in [[Super Contest]]s or in the [[Jubilife TV]] station. Over half of the 493 Pokémon had either minor or major tweaks in their backsprites.
*In the Help Booklet included with the game, they say that there are 493 Pokémon to be discovered. However, this game was released before {{p|Arceus}}, the 493rd Pokémon, was officially revealed.
* This is the first game where the player can battle an [[Non-player character|NPC]] in a Pokémon Center.
* With a total of eighteen legendary Pokemon, Pokémon Platinum has the most legendary Pokemon out of any [[version|main series]] game.
* Platinum removed the "©(publishing year) GAME FREAK inc." notice present on the title screen in Diamond and Pearl and preceding games, instead having a notice saying "Developed by GAME FREAK inc." similar to the notices found on the title screens of recent games developed by {{wp|tri-Ace}}.
*This is the second game (enhancement) to have the rematch feature with the gym leaders, the first being {{game|Emerald}} and the most recent being {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}.
*Both Dialga and Palkia have an extremely high catch-rate in this game for legendary pokemon.

'''Celebi''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''セレビィ''' ''Celebi'') is a dual-type {{2t|Psychic|Grass}} [[legendary Pokémon]].

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

Celebi is the last Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by Johto Pokédex number|Johto Pokédex]] and [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number|Hoenn Pokédex]], although in the latter, Celebi is not shown.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Celebi is a green fairy-like creature. Celebi has round toe-less feet, three-fingered hands, and clear wings on its back. Celebi has a round head that comes to a point and sticks upward in the back, large baby-blue eyes, similar to that of {{p|Mew}}, with deep black rings around them, and a pair of green antennae that are tipped blue.

====Gender differences====
Celebi is genderless, but a [[Shiny Pokémon|shiny]] one is referred to as female in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]].

====Special abilities====
Celebi's main ability is the power to travel through time. Celebi also can restore plants to perfect health (an ability that is also accredited to {{p|Meganium}}). Celebi mainly attacks with surprisingly powerful {{t|Grass}} and {{t|Psychic}} attacks.

===Behaviour===
Celebi, like {{p|Mew}}, is a very playful species in general. Celebi are extremely powerful despite their small size, another trait they have in common with Mew. Celebi also can be very timid, not wanting to show themselves despite their power. Although multiple Celebi have been seen at one time, it is unknown if they are different individuals or the same Celebi from different time periods. Therefore, it is virtually impossible to determine exactly how many Celebi exist. Celebi also is very protective of itself, others and its home. For this reason, it has been referred to by some as a guardian of the forest.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Forest.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon}}]]
Because Celebi travels through time, it may inhabit many places. However, Celebi is generally associated with forests. Because of this, it is known as the spirit and voice of the forest.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Celebi feed on berries.

==In the anime==
[[File:Celebi anime.png|right|thumb|250px|Celebi in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Celebi (movie 4)]]====
Celebi first appeared in ''[[M04|Celebi: Voice of the Forest]]''. A Pokémon hunter was after it and Celebi traveled 40 years into future to escape from him, taking young [[Sam]] along with it accidentally. The [[Iron-Masked Marauder]] eventually captured the time traveling Pokémon in a [[Dark Ball]] and used it to destroy the forest. {{Ash}} and Sammy managed to snap Celebi out of the Iron Masked Marauder's control.

====Other====
Celebi also made an appearance in [[Pokémon Chronicles]]. In ''[[SS013|Celebi and Joy]]'', Celebi took [[Ritchie]] back in time to help stop the destruction of a [[Pokémon Center]].

In ''[[AG155|The Green Guardian]]'', the Pokémon Ranger [[Solana]] accompanied {{Ash}} and {{ashfr|friends}} in helping the Pokémon.

A Celebi will appear in the thirteenth Pokémon movie, ''[[M13|Ruler of Illusions: Zoroark]]''. Due to it appearing on the promotional poster, it is likely that it will have a central role, and will be appearing alongside {{p|Entei}}, {{p|Raikou}}, and {{p|Suicune}}.

===Minor appearances===
A Celebi appeared in the [[boss fantasy]] of ''[[DP092|A Lean Mean Team Rocket Machine]]''.

Celebi makes a cameo appearance in the beginning of ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]''.

A Celebi appeared in another fantasy in ''[[DP143|An Egg Scramble!]]''.

===Pokédex entries===
{{Animedexheader|Emerald}}
{{Animedexbody|AG155|Celebi|May's Pokédex|Celebi, the Time Travel Pokémon. Celebi wanders across time as guardian of the forest. Wherever it appears, trees and grass flourish.}}
{{Animedexfooter/Pokémon|''Advanced Generation''|Emerald}}

==In the manga==
In [[Pokémon Adventures]], [[Pryce]] aimed to capture Celebi and use its time-traveling powers to save his two {{p|Lapras}}, which he had lost years ago prior to the start of the GSC saga. He failed numerous times throughout his reign (lacking a [[GS Ball]] that would allow him to properly capture it), and would injure himself on each day of the month in which Celebi would show itself in the Ilex shrine, so {{adv|Green}} and {{adv|Silver}} took this opportunity to steal his [[Rainbow Wing]] and [[Silver Wing]] items and escape.

Near the end of the RS Saga, {{adv|Ruby}} is revealed to have a Celebi. He explains that due to the lack of information he had on it, he rarely uses Celebi at all. Celebi was used to retrieve the Red and Blue Orbs from [[Maxie]] and [[Archie]], to prevent them from ever controlling {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} again. Then, it revived [[Norman]], [[Steven Stone|Steven]], and [[Magma Admin Courtney|Courtney]] by sending them through an altered future. It left Ruby's side right afterwards, and upon waking up two days later and glancing into the now-empty Pokéball that once contained the time-traveling Pokémon, Ruby realizes that this was the reason Celebi was with him the whole time.

==In the TCG==

==Other appearances==
[[Image:Celebi Brawl.jpg|right|thumb|Celebi in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]]]
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]/[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Brawl]]===
When a [[Poké Ball]] is thrown, there is a 1 in 251 chance of Celebi appearing after all these requirements have been fulfilled:
*Unlock all 25 characters
*Unlock all 29 stages
*Beat all 51 events
*Unlock the score display (by reaching 5000 KOs.)
It does not affect the battle but the thrower of the [[Poké Ball]] will earn a bonus and trophy of Celebi.

Celebi returns as a rare Pokémon in Brawl as well; the chance of it appearing is decreased to 1 in 493. Like the other "secret" Pokémon, it drops rare items instead of just {{m|Fly|flying}} away. In Celebi's case, the items are Trophies.

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
{{spoilers}}
*[[Pokémon Ranger (game)|Pokémon Ranger]]: Celebi is in a [[Ranger Net]] mission. In the mission, the player must capture the celebi to save it from the [[Go-Rock Squad]]. It is found wandering in [[Lyra Forest]].
*[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]]: [[Celebi (Explorers of Time, Darkness, and Sky)|A shiny Celebi]] is a supporting protagonist in the main storyline. When the player and partner are sent to the future by {{mdc|Dusknoir|2}}, the player, partner, and {{mdc|Grovyle|2}} work together to get back to the past. Celebi was the Pokémon who sent Grovyle to the past before, and the trio receive her help to go back again.
*[[Pokémon Ranger: Locus of Light]]: Celebi is the first boss of the game and a main Pokémon in the storyline. It has the power to time travel and can send the player (without their Ukulele {{p|Pichu}}) into the past. It can also send specific Pokémon to the present if the player uses the correct [[Ranger Signs]].

==Trivia==
* Celebi was the only Pokémon of the 100 [[Generation II]] Pokémon that wasn't used in the [[Johto]] [[Pokérap GS|Pokérap]].
* In a deleted scene of the movie ''{{wp|Austin Powers in Goldmember}},'' a person in a Celebi suit can be seen dancing.
* Celebi is notably the hardest Pokémon to obtain, as there are very few ways to legitimately obtain one outside of Japan.
* Celebi has the most weaknesses of all Pokémon, with seven. It shares this with {{p|Exeggcute}}, {{p|Exeggutor}}, {{p|Snover}}, and {{p|Abomasnow}}, all of which are part {{type2|Grass}}.
* Unlike most [[Legendary Pokémon|legendaries]], Celebi needs only 1,059,860 Exp. to get to level 100, whereas others need 1,250,000. It shares this trait with {{p|Mew}} and {{p|Shaymin}}.
* During the main story of [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]], {{mdc|Celebi|2}} is referred to as a female, while it is genderless in the main series.
* A 2008 [http://www.pokebeach.com/news/0708/second-pokemon-interview-with-masamitsu-hidaka-many-interesting-points interview] done with [[Masamitsu Hidaka]] by the webmaster of [[PokéBeach]] revealed that the [[GS Ball]] was initially meant to contain a Celebi that would be used in a story arc throughout the Johto series. This idea, however, was shelved, and {{OBP|Celebi|movie 4}} became a co-star of ''[[M04|Celebi: Voice of the Forest]]'' with {{p|Suicune}}.
* Celebi's number in the [[National Pokédex]] and the [[List of Pokémon by New Pokédex number|New Pokédex]] are the same: 251. This makes it one of fifteen Pokémon to have the same numbers in more than one [[Pokédex]]-like listing. The other fourteen are all members of the {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Ralts}}, {{p|Goldeen}}, and {{p|Beldum}} evolutionary families and the [[legendary beasts]].
* Celebi is the mascot of [[Serebii.net]], which uses a more literal romanization of the name rather than the official one.

===Origin===
It may be based on a {{wp|fairy}} or {{wp|dryad}}.

====Name origin====
There are many theories as to the origin of Celebi's name. It may be a combination of ''{{wp|celestial}}'' and ''being'', or it may be a combination of the English ''serenity'' and the Japanese ''bii'', which translates to ''beautiful''.

There is also the possibility its name originates from "cerebral", referring to its psychic powers.

You appear to be having some problems with this, so let me help you out. At the end of every comment you make on a talk page, type <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki> (or alternatively click http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/skins/common/images/button_sig.png; it's above the editing screen). By doing so, you are '''automatically signing your name and the time you left the message''' on the page. That's much easier than having to type it out manually. Hope I've helped!

Stat Trainers

2009-08-27T03:05:16Z

Zelrio: Undo revision 844999 by Zelrio (Talk)

'''Stat Trainers''' is a fan term for a group of five [[Pokémon Trainer]]s; [[Cheryl]], [[Mira]], [[Riley]], [[Buck]], and [[Marley]]; who specialize in Pokémon that excel in a certain [[stats|stat]].

==In the games==
The stat Trainers first appeared in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, where each is encountered at a certain point during the player's journey. Unlike other Trainers, the stat Trainers ask the player to help them to navigate their way through a certain area, participating in [[double battle]]s against other Trainers and [[wild Pokémon]], and healing the player's Pokémon after each battle.

After the player has defeated the [[Elite Four]], the stat Trainers that the player has so far encountered (only [[Cheryl]] is required to be encountered during the game's storyline; the others are optional) will be waiting in the {{si|Battle Tower}} to participate in tag-team double battles.

In {{game|Platinum}}, in addition to reprising their role from Diamond and Pearl, the stat Trainers the player has encountered will also appear in the [[Battleground]] in the [[Survival Area]] as potential opponents. Riley and Buck are also now required to complete the game's storyline, with both of their scenarios involving Team Galactic.

==In the anime==
So far, three of the five have appeared in the anime, doing so in the same order they can be first encountered in the games.

Cheryl was the first to appear, in ''[[DP030|Some Enchanted Sweetening]]'' and the two episodes that followed. As in the games, she traveled with {{Ash}} and his {{ashfr|friends}} through [[Eterna Forest]]. After finding the [[honey]] she was looking for in ''[[DP032|An Angry Combee-nation!]]'', she left the group.

The next to appear was Mira, in ''[[DP047|Sandshrew's Locker!]]''. Unlike in the games, she was not lost in [[Wayward Cave]], but instead needed Ash and his friends to help her with their {{type2|Water}} Pokémon to retrieve her {{p|Sandshrew}} from her sunken school. After this was done, she had her {{p|Abra}} {{m|teleport}} the group to [[Hearthome City]].

Riley made his appearance most recently, when Ash journeyed to [[Iron Island]] in ''[[DP110|Steeling Peace of Mind!]]'', after facing [[Byron]]. Like Ash, Riley has the ability to use [[Aura]]. He and his {{TP|Riley|Lucario}}, along with Ash and his friends, stop [[Team Galactic]]'s plot to discover the location of [[Spear Pillar]] on [[Mt. Coronet]] while attempting to calm the {{type2|Steel}}s that are disturbed by the beam the evil team is sending at the mountain in [[DP111|the next episode]].

==Trivia==
* All the stat Trainers' names are based on a variety of grains, in the original Japanese and all translated versions.
* Based on how they hold their Poké Balls, the Trainer's back sprites were likely edited from the player character's sprites.
* All back sprites of the stats Trainer's are holding [[Poké Ball]]s, however all front sprites of the stats Trainer's are not holding anything.
* The Stat Trainers are the only Pokémon Trainers with animated sprites that use the standard Trainer battle music.
* There is no stat Trainer that specializes in only Special Defense.

* The Stat Trainers are the only Pokémon Trainers with animated sprites that use the standard Trainer battle music.
* There is no stat Trainer that specializes in only Special Defense.

'''Mamoswine''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''マンムー''' ''Mammoo'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ice|Ground}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Piloswine}} when [[level]]ed up while knowing {{m|AncientPower}}. It is the final evolution of {{p|Swinub}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Mamoswine resembles a {{w|wooly mammoth}} crossed with a {{w|boar}}. Mamoswine have very thick fur to endure harsh cold and protect from snow and ice, thus explaining their {{a|Snow Cloak}} ability, and tusks made of pure, solid ice; their massive body size is also helpful in preserving their own body heat. Mamoswine also exhibit a few {{t|Ground}}-type charastatics such as their studry body and powerful physics.

====Gender differences====
A female Mamoswine has shorter tusks than a male one.

====Special abilities====
Mamoswine have incredibly strong physical force. Their study body and feet enable them to cross even the most dense and dry snow. Mamoswine are able to {{m|Endure|endure}} harsh winters and hunger for an almost indefinite amount of time, as indicated by a ten-thousand-year-old specimen waking up much to the amazement of those who discovered it.

Thanks to its dual Ice/Ground typing, Mamoswine is the only fully evolved Pokémon not affected by either {{m|Hail}} or {{m|Sandstorm}}.

===Behavior===
===Habitat===
Mamoswine lived in the northern {{w|tundra}} during the last {{wp|ice age}}, but reduced in numbered when the climate grew warmer.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:Mamoswine.png|thumb|right|210px|{{TP|Dawn|Mamoswine}} in the anime]]
A herd of Mamoswine appeared in ''[[Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'' with {{p|Regigigas}}.

{{an|Dawn}}'s {{p|Piloswine}} evolved into a {{TP|Dawn|Mamoswine}} in ''[[DP106|A Breed Stampede!]]''.

*Mamoswine and its pre-evolutions are the only {{type2|Ice}}s not weak to {{t|Rock}}, due to their part {{t|Ground}}-typing.
*Mamoswine is the last Ground-type Pokémon in [[National Pokédex|National Dex]] order as of [[Generation IV]].
*Mamoswine's evolutionary chain is the only Pokémon weak to all three starter Pokémon primary types: {{t|Fire}}, {{t|Water}}, and {{t|Grass}}.
*Mamoswine has the highest Attack of any Ice-type.

===Origin===
Mamoswine appears to be based on a combination of a {{wp|woolly mammoth}} and a {{wp|boar}}.

'''Mamoswine''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''マンムー''' ''Mammoo'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ice|Ground}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Piloswine}} when [[level]]ed up while knowing {{m|AncientPower}}. It is the final evolution of {{p|Swinub}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Mamoswine resembles a {{w|wooly mammoth}} crossed with a {{w|boar}}. Mamoswine have very thick fur to endure harsh cold and protect from snow and ice, thus explaining their {{a|Snow Cloak}} ability, and tusks made of pure, solid ice; their massive body size is also helpful in preserving their own body heat. Mamoswine also exhibit a few {{t|Ground}}-type charastatics such as their studry body and powerful physics.

====Gender differences====
A female Mamoswine has shorter tusks than a male one.

====Special abilities====
Mamoswine have incredibly strong physical force. Their study body and feet enable them to cross even the most dense and dry snow. Mamoswine are able to {{m|Endure}} harsh winters and hunger for an almost indefinite amount of time, as indicated by a ten-thousand-year-old specimen waking up much to the amazement of those who discovered it.

Thanks to its dual ice/ground type, Mamoswine is the only fully evolved pokemon not affected by either of the two damaging weather effects, Hail and Sandstorm.

===Behavior===
===Habitat===
Mamoswine lived in the northern {{w|tundra}} during the last {{wp|ice age}}, but reduced in numbered when the climate grew warmer.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:Mamoswine.png|thumb|right|210px|{{TP|Dawn|Mamoswine}} in the anime]]
A herd of Mamoswine appeared in ''[[Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'' with {{p|Regigigas}}.

{{an|Dawn}}'s {{p|Piloswine}} evolved into a {{TP|Dawn|Mamoswine}} in ''[[DP106|A Breed Stampede!]]''.

==Trivia==
*Mamoswine would have been obtainable in both [[Generation II]] and [[Generation III]] if it had existed, as in both there was a possible way to get a {{p|Piloswine}} that had {{m|AncientPower}}. It shares this trait with {{p|Lickilicky}}.
*Mamoswine's Pokédex entry is a reference to how {{wp|woolly mammoth}}s became extinct.
*Not counting Pokémon who have an [[ability]] that negates weather effects or damage from them, Mamoswine's evolutionary chain are the only Pokémon that are immune to both {{m|Sandstorm}} and {{m|Hail}}.
*Mamoswine and its pre-evolutions are the only {{type2|Ice}}s not weak to {{t|Rock}}, due to their part {{t|Ground}}-typing.
*Mamoswine is the last Ground-type Pokémon in [[National Pokédex|National Dex]] order as of [[Generation IV]].
*Mamoswine's evolutionary chain is the only Pokémon weak to all three starter Pokémon primary types: {{t|Fire}}, {{t|Water}}, and {{t|Grass}}.
*Mamoswine has the highest Attack of any Ice-type.

===Origin===
Mamoswine appears to be based on a combination of a {{wp|woolly mammoth}} and a {{wp|boar}}.
====Name origin====
Mamoswine is a combination ''mammoth'' and ''swine''. Mammoo may be a combination of ''mammoth'' and ぶうぶう ''bū bū'', an {{wp|onomatopoeia}} for oinking.

Poké Ball

2009-08-14T03:13:54Z

Zelrio: /* In the anime */

{{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|caught|catching}} 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
''majū'' (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|caught}}.

As seen in anime episodes like ''[[AG065|Gulpin it Down!]]'' and ''[[AG104|Claydol Big and Tall]]'', normal Poké Balls have difficulty catching 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 catch 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.

Besides catching new Pokémon, Poké Balls are also used to store caught 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|200px|[[Paul]] releasing {{AP|Chimchar|Monferno}}|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 caught 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 catches - as shown in ''[[DP002|Two Degrees of Separation]]'', when Dawn attempts to catch [[Ash's Pikachu]] - so that they cannot be caught by other Poké Balls once caught. 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|200px|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 catching 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 catch the other. If not, the game does not allow either to be caught, 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 catch 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 catch and contain wild Pokémon. Most Pokémon must be weakened in some way before they can be caught, 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 catch 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 catch Safari Zone Pokémon. However, despite his best efforts to catch other Pokémon, he ended up using all thirty to catch 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 catch a human, the human will get shocked with electricity instead of being caught.

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.

It should be noted that the various types of Pokeballs are more relevant in the Johto Saga, as Ash uses some specially made balls by Kurt to capture pokemon such as Totodile.

The Parkball 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 Parkballs are provided for this, and the Pokémon can be battled before they are caught. 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 catch {{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 catch [[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 catch 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, catching 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 catch 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 catch 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 caught 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. Once caught, the Pokémon is put into the Poké Ball it was caught in. Whether the Park Ball would work on a regular [[wild Pokémon]] not already caught 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]].

[[Apricorn]]s and the Generation II Poké Balls made from them return in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}; however, they are not available in other Generation IV games, even though hacking.
 

===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 caught Pokémon can be re-caught, 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 catch 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 [[caught 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 [[Celebi: Voice of the Forest]] 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 catch any Pokémon, including those which have already been caught 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 [[Celebi: Voice of the Forest|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 ''[[Celebi: Voice of the Forest]]''. 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 catch 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.
; Old Poké Ball
[[Image:Old Poke Ball.jpg|thumb|210px|right|The Old Poké Ball used by Sammy Oak]]
:Used in ''[[Celebi: Voice of the Forest]]'' and containing [[Professor Oak|Sammy Oak's]] {{p|Charmeleon}} it is different from other Poké Balls as the knob on the top has to be twisted before it can release a Pokémon.
[[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 catch a Pokémon, you ''usually'' have your own Pokémon battle with the other."

* Also, on the card '''[[Lt. Surge's Secret Plan (Gym Challenge 107)|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.
*In [[Generation II]], the Parkball's name is written as one word, rather than two as with other Poké Balls. This is due to space issues due to the Game Boy Color's screen size, as "Parkball" is listed on the main battle screen's menu during the Bug-catching Contest rather than the items menu as with other Poké Balls. The Park Ball in [[Generation IV]] is not affected by such an issue.

:Nudity isn't exactly something you'd find in shows like Pokémon. Granted, that doesn't stop the hentai artists...

:Anyway, stuff like Gardenia's missing shirt is easily fixed in the dub by the paint-edit departments.

Speaking of her pokémon, I'm quite sure that Nuzleaf from her exit scene isn't hers. She called it a messenger Nuzleaf and her assistant Youko was shown to own one. There's a strong implication there that the Nuzleaf sent to fetch Gardenia from the Eterna forest is Youko's. And not Gardenia's. [[User:ArcToraphim|Luna Tiger]] 23:18, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

:Nudity isn't exactly something you'd find in shows like Pokémon. Granted, that doesn't stop the hentai artists...

:Anyway, stuff like Gardenia's missing shirt is easily fixed in the dub by the paint-edit departments. It's not like that controversial scene in [[EP018]] with the inflatable cleavage that kept it off American airwaves until almost the start of season 3 (and even then it's the most heavily-edited dub episode due to the controversial sequences)...--[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 22:42, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

Speaking of her pokémon, I'm quite sure that Nuzleaf from her exit scene isn't hers. She called it a messenger Nuzleaf and her assistant Youko was shown to own one. There's a strong implication there that the Nuzleaf sent to fetch Gardenia from the Eterna forest is Youko's. And not Gardenia's. [[User:ArcToraphim|Luna Tiger]] 23:18, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

==Sneasel==
If I'm remembering correctly, Silver steals his Sneasel from a guy in Cianwood. He gives Gold his Shuckle so Silve dosen't come back and steal that, too. That seems pretty relevant to me....[[User:Cheesedude|Cheesedude]] 03:19, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

:responding to this a year later -_- Anyway if you have a look at Silver's non-starter Pokémon they are all more or less sweeper-based in stats. Shuckle has no offensive powers really, and the only time it has them is when it sacrifices all its defense (and its still too slow to be any good). I doubt Silver wanted it.--[[User:Outrage DD|Outrage DD]] 19:10, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

'''Top-Down Training!''' (Japanese: '''チャンピオン・シロナ登場！''' ''Enter Champion {{tt|Shirona|Cynthia}}!'') is the 40th episode of the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}, and the 506th episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It first aired in Japan on July 19, 2007 and in the United States on December 8, 2007.

{{spoilers}}
== Synopsis ==
The episode starts off with a stadium filled with people. [[Lucian]] and the incredibly hot [[Cynthia]] are battling with their Pokémon, {{TP|Lucian|Bronzong}} and {{TP|Cynthia|Garchomp}}. Bronzong used its {{m|Flash Cannon}} on Garchomp which Garchomp was easily able to escape, coming out unscathed by blocking the attack with its fin.

{{Ash}} and {{Ashfr|friends}} were sitting in a [[Pokémon Center]], watching the {{pkmn|battle}} on television. Garchomp was able to use {{m|Giga Impact}}, knocking out Lucian's Bronzong. Ash was pumped as he watched the battle. He and the gang overheard someone say that Cynthia had shown up at a place called Amity Square.

The episode then switches to Cynthia and [[Team Rocket]]. Cynthia seemed indecisive about what kind of ice cream she wanted. She is later seen with a stone containing images of {{p|Palkia}} and {{p|Dialga}}. This is when Ash and friends show up, adding more to the people surrounding Cynthia. All of sudden, [[Paul]] shows up.

Ash is seemingly excited about seeing Paul, saying that he's finally got two badges. After asking how many Paul has received, Paul replies with 'it's none of your business'. He then challenges Cynthia to a battle. Many people in the crowd are shocked when Cynthia agrees. Paul says that he wants a six-on-six match. Meanwhile, Team Rocket is watching the battle.

Cynthia calls out her Garchomp, while Paul chooses {{AP|Chimchar}}. Paul commands Chimchar to use {{m|Fire Spin}} and then {{m|Dig}}. Once hit with Fire Spin, Garchomp also used Dig under Cynthia's command. The dig collided with Chimchar, knocking it out.

Paul then uses {{TP|Paul|Weavile}} against Garchomp. He commands for his Weavile to use {{m|Blizzard}}, which seems to have no effect on Garchomp, despite being super-effective. Garchomp then uses {{m|Dragon Rush}}, which causes Weavile to freeze. Instead of trying to dodge, Paul tells Weavile to use {{m|Ice Beam}}. However, Garchomp was able to dodge the attack and slammed itself into Weavile, knocking it out cold.

Paul then sends out {{TP|Paul|Murkrow}}. Immediately, he tells Murkrow to use {{m|Haze}}, which Garchomp dodges. Murkrow flies behind Garchomp and Paul tells it to use {{m|Sky Attack}}. Cynthia counters with Giga Impact. After returning his fallen Murkrow, he sends out {{TP|Paul|Torterra}}.

He commands Torterra to use {{m|Giga Drain}}. Since Giga Impact left Garchomp unable to move, Giga Drain was able to hit. After Giga Drain, Torterra uses {{m|Frenzy Plant}}. Garchomp is able to block the attack with its fins. Cynthia then tells Garchomp to use {{m|Brick Break}}. Garchomp pushes the vines from Frenzy Plant away and jumps into the air, hitting Torterra with Brick Break on its head and knocking it out.

Paul then gives up the battle, to which the crowd responds by poking fun at him. Ash, with newfound respect, tells them to knock it off and compliments Paul. Paul says goodbye to Cynthia and walks away. Ash realizes that isn't where the Pokémon Center is, and Cynthia demands that Paul go to the Center to heal his Pokémon.

Unfortunately, when the got there, [[Nurse Joy]] claims that she needs to preform surgery on an injured Pokémon. Cynthia decides to heal Paul's Pokémon by herself, to which Brock says that he'd love to help out. {{TP|Brock|Croagunk}} comes out of its [[Poké Ball]] to use {{m|Poison Jab}}, but stops once it sees Cynthia.

The episode switches to Cynthia treating Paul's Torterra. She moves over to Chimchar, giving it a pill. Chimchar falls asleep and the episode goes to Team Rocket, who are hiding outside the window. Team Rocket claims that they are going to steal Paul's Pokémon.

Cynthia then tells Paul that his Pokémon are all healed and well trained, especially his Torterra. This is where Paul reveals that Torterra was his very first Pokémon. He also says that he traveled around [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], and [[Hoenn]], where he caught his Murkrow and Weavile, before coming back to Sinnoh, where he caught his Chimchar.

When Cynthia compliments Chimchar, Paul complains that Chimchar didn't do well against Garchomp. Ash then argues that he didn't care how many of Pokémon got hurt, to which Paul responds with "your point?". Ash asks why Paul doesn't care about his Pokémon. Paul claims that his Pokémon will then become spoiled and not try hard enough in battle, and Chimchar was the perfect example.

Ash becomes angrier, saying that he has to support his Pokémon. Upon Paul saying that he wants to become stronger, Cynthia took them back to the stone tablet she was at earlier in Amity Square. She reads the tablet to them. She claims that before reading this tablet, she used to train endlessly. Then she discovered that all Pokémon have different personalities and she wanted to get to know all of them.

Meanwhile, back at the Pokémon Center, Team Rocket hover over the still sleeping Chimchar. Before trying to steal all of Paul's Pokémon, Nurse Joy catches them. Team Rocket makes a run for it, just grabbing Chimchar. Outside the center, the gang is headed back and sees Team Rocket with Chimchar. They chase after Team Rocket, who try to make a get away in their balloon. Chimchar then wakes up, using {{m|Flamethrower}} on Team Rocket. Before Ash could react and call out {{AP|Staravia}}, Paul sends out his {{TP|Paul|Ursaring}} and tells it to use {{m|Hyper Beam}}. Chimchar jumped away from Team Rocket right before the attack collided with them, sending them blasting off.

Chimchar fell to the ground, getting injured once more. However, Paul didn't care, calling Chimchar useless for being captured by Team Rocket. {{an|Dawn}} said that it wasn't Chimchar's fault, since Chimchar was sleeping. Cynthia was able to stop the yelling when she said the only thing that matters was that Chimchar is okay. She advised Paul to stay the night at the Center.

The episode switches to the Center. Ash and the others are watching Sinnoh Now. A newscast about ancient ruins in [[Celestic Town]] held the {{DL|Type-enhancing item|Lustrous Orb}}, which is related to the legendary Pokémon Palkia. The Lustrous Orb is related to the {{DL|Type-enhancing item|Adamant Orb}}, on display in [[Eterna City]]. The Lustrous Orb is said to increase the powers of Palkia.

Cynthia then decides it was time to head to Celestic Town, saying goodbye to our heroes.

== Trivia ==
* No [[Professor Oak]]'s Pokémon [[Professor Oak's lecture|lecture]] was aired; instead, a promotion for ''[[The Rise of Darkrai|Dialga vs. Palkia vs. Darkrai]]'' aired.
* The tablet that Cynthia was reading before battling Paul had {{p|Unown}} on it. The inscription is the Japanese version of the inscription in [[Solaceon Ruins]]. The inscription is in {{wp|Rōmaji}}, and is as follows (note that some parts of the inscription do not match the standard {{wp|Hepburn romanization}} system):
<blockquote>FRIEND SUBETE NO INOCHI HA BETSU NO INOCHI TO DEAI NANIKA WO UMIDASU</blockquote> The translation which is recited by Cynthia in the dub is ''When every life meets another life, something will be born''; this is correct, although she omits the ''"Friend"'' at the beginning of the inscription.
* Music from ''[[Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'' was used as background music.
* The music that plays in the background during the battle between Paul's Chimchar and Cynthia's Garchomp is the same music played in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} when the player faces Cynthia after defeating the [[Elite Four#Sinnoh Elite Four|Elite Four]].
* {{an|Dawn}} narrates the next episode preview.
* When the flame on Chimchar's tail goes out, Dawn and Ash seemed surprised. However, in ''[[DP003|When Pokémon Worlds Collide]]'', when Ash scanned Chimchar with his [[Pokédex]], it said that the flame on Chimchar's tail goes out when it sleeps.
* This is one of the few episodes of the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}} where [[Dawn's Piplup]] does not appear.

=== Errors ===
[[Image:TopDownTrainingColorError.PNG|thumb|right|The error]]
* Right before {{TP|Paul|Torterra}} is hit by {{TP|Cynthia|Garchomp}}'s {{m|Brick Break}} and by the end of the episode, the top half of {{p|Torterra}}'s face was brown, instead of the normal green.

=== Dub edits ===
* The dub places the setting of the episode as [[Amity Square]], while the Japanese version just places it in a nature park that is unique to the anime.

== In other languages ==
