A '''vitamin''' (Japanese: '''えいようドリンク''' ''nutritious drink'') is a type of [[item]] from the [[Pokémon games]]. They are used to boost the [[stats]] of a {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s Pokémon. Most vitamins are named after real minerals and organic compounds important to bodily health.

==Effect==
In [[Generation]]s {{gen|I}} and {{gen|II}}, vitamins gave 2560 Stat Exp to a stat, but could only be given until that stat had 25600 Stat Exp. However, in [[Generation III]] and beyond, stats were calculated with the system of [[effort values]], and so instead vitamins give a Pokémon 10 EV points to a stat, only working if the EVs of the stat raised are less than 100, and if the total EVs are less than 510.

The two {{PP}}-raising vitamins do not work in the same way, since instead of raising a stat they raise the PP value of one of the Pokémon's [[move]]s. Rare Candy is also an exception to this, since it instead raises the Pokémon's [[level]] by one.

Rare Candies will add experience to a Pokémon until it levels up, and then stop, even if it just added a single experience point. 

From [[Generation II]] onward, vitamins also increase the [[friendship]] of the affected Pokémon.

In the {{pkmn|Mystery Dungeon}} series, vitamins permanently increase one of the Stats of a Pokémon and are not subject to any limits due to the absence of the EV system in those games.

==Acquisition==
All vitamins can be found on the ground at various locations.

PP Ups are sold in [[Cerulean City]] and at the [[Pokéathlon Dome]]. PP Ups are commonly given as prizes in the [[Pokémon Lottery Corner]]. PP Max is not sold anywhere.

Rare Candies can be purchased at the {{gdis|Battle Frontier|IV|Sinnoh and Johto Battle Frontiers}} and at the [[Battle Subway]] for 48 BP each. They can also be purchased at the [[Pokéathlon Dome]] on Mondays and Saturdays.

All other vitamins are available to buy for {{pdollar}}9800 ({{pdollar}}4900 at a sale) at [[Celadon Department Store]], [[Goldenrod Department Store]], [[Lilycove Department Store]], [[Veilstone Department Store]], {{ci|Slateport}} market, the [[Safari Zone Gate]], and [[Shopping Mall Nine]]. They may also be purchased at [[Cerulean City]] in exchange for [[Berry Powder]]. Vitamins can also be purchased at {{gdis|Battle Frontier|III|both}} {{gdis|Battle Frontier|IV}}s, the [[Battle Subway]] and the [[Pokémon World Tournament|PWT]] for 1 [[Battle Point|BP]] each.

Calcium made its anime debut in ''[[EP092|The Joy of Pokémon]]''. Nurse Joy gave a whole bottle of these tablets to a {{pkmn2|giant}} {{p|Magikarp}}. Some other unidentified vitamins also appeared in the episode.

In ''[[AG142|Caterpie's Big Dilemma]]'', the Rare Candy made its anime debut. However, unlike in the games, where the Rare Candy levels up a Pokémon, in the episode it actually makes the Pokémon larger (and in some cases uncontrollable) due to the fact that this was a specially modified and experimental version of it. {{an|Brock}} said that the original would merely "enhance a Pokémon's abilities". Also, due to a dubbing error, the Rare Candy was referred by a direct translation of its Japanese name, Mystery Candy.

In ''[[BW070|The Clubsplosion Begins!]]'', a full set of vitamins (PP Up, PP Max and Rare Candy are excluded) were announced to be the prize for the [[Clubsplosion]] tournament, like how the set of [[wing]]s was the prize for the [[Club Battle]] tournament. They were eventually won by [[Stephan]].

==Trivia==
* The [[item duplication glitch]] is sometimes called the Rare Candy glitch due to the desirability of Rare Candies.
* The PP Max's English name is the same as the Japanese name of the {{DL|Ether|Max Elixir}}.
* Despite the name "Vitamin" referring to them, the Calcium, Iron and Zinc are based on ''minerals'' important for the human body, while the Protein and Carbos are based on two of the main constituents found on the {{wp|Nutrition facts label|nutrition labels}} of food products.
* The Japanese names of the vitamins reveal them to be other compounds, specifically {{wp|taurine}}, {{wp|bromhexine}}, {{wp|lysozyme}}, {{wp|chitosan}}, and {{wp|indometacin}}, used for treatment of the body.

'''Brock''' (Japanese: '''タケシ''' ''Takeshi'') is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Pewter City]]'s {{pkmn|Gym}}, known officially as the [[Pewter Gym]]. He hands out the {{Badge|Boulder}} to {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat him. He specializes in training {{type2|Rock}} Pokémon.

==In the games==
[[Image:Sugimoribrockoriginal.png|thumb|left|Art of Brock from {{game|Red and Blue|s}}]]
Brock's title is "The Rock-Solid Pokémon Trainer." Brock is quite proud of his rock-hard willpower, and uses Rock-type Pokémon to complement this.

Brock is one of the few truly serious professional Pokémon Trainers in the Pewter City area. He's tough, people respect him, and most admire him. Supposedly, it's hard to get him to laugh or drop his serious demeanor, but when he does, he can't stop.

Brock likes to dig for [[fossil]]s in [[Mt. Moon]], which is possibly how he ended up getting a {{p|Kabutops}} and {{p|Omastar}} in [[Generation II]].

In each game, there is only one other Trainer in his gym: a [[Camper]], whose name is Jerry in [[Generation II]] and Liam in [[Generation III]]. This Trainer usually isn't devoted to the Rock-type, and may use pure {{type2|Ground}} Pokémon like {{p|Sandshrew}} and {{p|Diglett}}.

In addition to the Boulder Badge, Brock gives out {{TM|34|Bide}} for in the [[Generation I]] {{pkmn|games}}, and {{TM|39|Rock Tomb}} for the [[Generation III]] remakes instead. While he doesn't give out a [[TM]] in [[Generation II]], however, for the [[Generation IV]] remakes he gives out {{TM|80|Rock Slide}}. In both the Generation I games and their Generation III remakes, one Trainer will not allow for Trainers to pass onto {{rt|3}} until they have defeated Brock. Instead, when Trainers try to leave, he will lead them all the way back to the Pewter Gym.

In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, after he is defeated, he will offer to [[List of in-game trades|trade]] a {{p|Rhyhorn}} that knows {{m|Thunder Fang}} for a {{p|Bonsly}}. He can be found in [[Diglett's Cave]] near Pewter City every day between noon and 3 PM, and will offer his PokéGear number if he is spoken to. If he is called on Saturday evening, he will be up for a rematch at the [[Fighting Dojo]].

==In the anime==
[[Image:Brock OS.png|thumb|left|Brock in the original series]]
In the {{pkmn|anime}}, Brock is a [[Pokémon Breeder]] who is a {{ashfr|close friend}} and traveling companion of {{Ash}}'s. Some notes on official sketches of his character set his age at 15 at the start of the series.

He originally trained {{type2|Rock}} [[Pokémon]], but has, since [[EP006|the second episode he appeared in]], diversified. As he has stated in [[DP125|Battling A Cute Drama!]], his philosophy is that the important thing about being a Pokémon Trainer is the bond between Trainer and Pokémon. He is an experienced cook and caretaker by nature, so he always makes scrumptious food both [[Pokémon food|for Pokémon]] and for humans.
[[File:Brock and Nurse Joy.png|thumb|right|Brock flirting with Nurse Joy]]
One of his best known character traits is that he falls in love with every pretty woman he meets, particularly [[Officer Jenny]] and [[Nurse Joy]]. He can tell whether they are real (women) or [[Team Rocket|impo]][[Brodie|stors]] as well. This "ability" has been used multiple times in the series. He has always held a supporting role in the series, usually contributing more in terms of wisdom and comedic antics than the action and {{pkmn|battle}}s of the series.

Early on, he showed that he carries around a {{badge|Boulder}} for identification. He also has a [[Contest Pass]] for the [[Kanto]] region, though he only used it once, as well as one for [[Hoenn]] which was required to watch a contest there. The [[Poké Ball#Generation II Poké Balls|Heavy Ball]], given to him by [[Kurt]] [[EP144|back in Johto]], he gave to [[Professor Jacuzzi|Dr. Jacuzzi]] outside of [[Petalburg City]] for use on a [[EP339|giant Gulpin]].

Brock has had two notable musical appearances. One is the Japanese ending theme タケシのパラダイス ''[[Takeshi's Paradise]]'', which is about his love for women and his determination to find love despite often appearing foolish and getting heartbroken. There is a running joke about him singing this song often in the anime, since it's the only song he knows. The other is the [[Pokémon Karaokémon]] song ''[[Two Perfect Girls]]'', which is about his love of both Officer Jenny and Nurse Joy.

===Appearance===
[[Image:TakeshiAG.png|thumb|right|Brock in the ''Advanced Generation'' series]]
Brock's most notable feature about his appearance is that his eyes naturally appear closed. The rare times people see them open are when they are forced open unnaturally: from a hit with {{AP|Charmander's|Charizard}} {{m|Flamethrower}} in ''[[EP032|The Ninja Poké-Showdown]]'', when being hit in the back of the head by {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}}'s tail in ''[[EP050|Who Gets to Keep Togepi?]]'', and when he makes a face for {{AP|Larvitar}} in ''[[EP260|A Crowning Achievement]]''. This has been the center of fan attention for a long time.

He also has tan skin, notably darker than the skin of any other major character in the series.

Brock is the tallest of {{ashfr|main characters}}, and the closest to looking like an adult. Next to actual adult characters, however, it is clear that he is still a teenager.

Not counting temporary outfits, he has worn {{DL|List of clothing in the anime|Brock|three different outfits}} over the span of the anime, all of which have had the colors orange, green, and brown, with blue shoes. His outfits in the games are also made up of the colors orange, green, and brown.

===Character===
[[Image:Brock's eyes.png|thumb|left|180px|Brock with his eyes open in [[EP260]]]]
Brock is considered the most mature, wise and level-headed of the main characters, and he is arguably the most intelligent character as well. He often acts as an older brother and caretaker to the other characters and a voice of reason in disputes. He will usually place others before him and will help and support his friends even against his better judgment or at his own expense. While he is not shown to battle often, he can understand the situations and strategies in any [[Pokémon battle]], and often explains them to the other characters, probably due to the fact that he was once a [[Gym Leader]]. His wisdom is possibly derived from how observant he is; he can tell just by sight how a Pokémon is feeling and spot the differences between the various [[Officer Jenny]] and [[Nurse Joy]].

Brock always carries books and maps with him, and thus is usually the character who knows where the group is headed and what they can do when they get there, though in [[Advanced Generation series|Advanced Generation]] this role was mostly taken over by the [[PokéNav]]. He also carries a lot of other supplies, such as [[potion]]s, [[Pokémon food]], and a set of cookware, as well as practical tools like a brush and pocket knife; in ''[[EP009|The School of Hard Knocks]]'', the extent of his preparedness and comically large capacity of his [[bag]] was demonstrated, as he pulled out a table and full tea set out of his backpack. He is a domestic, and grooms not only his Pokémon but also those of his friends with whom he travels. He handles all the cooking and cleaning for his friends.

Despite this, all his maturity and rationality leaves him completely at the sight of a beautiful woman, as he falls in love with every pretty girl he meets. Brock has a desperate need for female companionship which grows worse as he fails to gain it. He will do anything and everything he thinks will impress women, which inevitably ends with his heart being broken every time. A few women have shown interest in him as well, such as [[Wilhelmina]], [[Temacu]], {{FB|Pike Queen|Lucy}} and [[Holly]], but most do not notice him or are not interested. No matter how many times he is disappointed, though, Brock remains determined to find a girl to start a relationship with, and has indicated several times he would stop traveling with Ash and stay with the girl if this happened. This behavior tends to wear on the nerves of other characters, and [[Misty]] and [[Max]] have both commonly dragged Brock away from women by his ear. Some of Brock's own Pokémon, most notably {{TP|Brock|Croagunk}}, have attacked him for getting too flirtatious with women.

His goals have played a passive role in his character's activity and development. Unlike other characters, who aspire to achieve and excel in competitive fields like [[Pokémon training]] and [[Pokémon Contest]]s, his aim to become a great Pokémon Breeder is a quiet one and thus does not get showcased frequently. His other goal, to find a girlfriend, is similar to [[Team Rocket]]'s quest to capture {{AP|Pikachu}} in that both are for comedy and thus doomed to fail. His role has always been purely one as support for other main characters.

===History===
[[Image:BrockDP.png|left|thumb|Brock in the ''Diamond & Pearl'' series]]
Not much is known about his early childhood, except that his first Pokémon was his {{TP|Brock|Onix|Steelix}}, which he received as a gift at the age of 10. Sometime after, his father, {{ka|Flint}}, left home to become a great {{pkmn|Trainer}}. When he never returned, his mother, [[Lola]], left them as well, leaving Brock to take care of {{Brocksib|his siblings}}, as well as their house and [[Pewter Gym]], by himself (though the English version of ''[[EP005|Showdown in Pewter City]]'' has Flint claim she died, and some speculate he was lying). However, Flint eventually returned home considering himself a failure, and instead of returning to his family he donned a disguise and sold rocks as souvenirs at the edge of town. After Brock awarded Ash the Boulder Badge, Flint came forward and confessed who he was. Flint took on the responsibilities of the Pewter Gym and his family, leaving Brock free to journey with Ash and [[Misty]].

Brock only became the Gym Leader because he felt it was his responsibility, and he admitted to Ash that he would rather care for Pokémon than battle them. It is his dream to become a great breeder, and when Flint took back control of the Gym, Brock was allowed to start following this dream. Most notably, he took care of a {{TP|Brock|Vulpix}} that belonged to a breeder named [[Suzy]]. Shortly before Vulpix was returned, Brock used it in a [[Pokémon Beauty Contest]].

Brock was also able to meet and make advances towards the many beautiful women he met. At first, he was more casual about approaching women, such as the [[Officer Jenny]] in [[Cerulean City]], and more modest as well, such as when he met [[Melanie]]. However, he became more open and passionate towards almost all single young women as time progressed.

Brock briefly left the show during the [[Pokémon: The Adventures in the Orange Islands|Orange Islands saga]] to work for [[Professor Ivy]] on [[Valencia Island]] and so is only seen in a couple of cameos in the [[M02|second movie]]. While there, something happened that will probably remain secret as Brock will only huddle and say "that name" whenever he is asked about it. (Brock does mention his work for her in ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'', though this line was added in the dub.) After this incident, Brock returned to Kanto where he was found by [[Delia Ketchum]], who helped him to regain his strength. Brock then became a rival to [[Mimey]] until he rejoined Ash and Misty as the three traveled to [[Johto]]. They stayed together for the entire region, but at the end of this journey, the three went their separate ways, with Brock's help requested at home by his father.

Upon his return home, Brock was dismayed to find that his mother had returned and commandeered the gym, turning the Rock-type haven into a brightly decorated {{type2|Water}} den. Brock battled her for the honor of Rock-types and won, promising his brother [[Forrest]] that he would become Gym Leader someday.

After that, Brock returned to follow Ash through [[Hoenn]], along with their new friends {{an|May}} and [[Max]], and then through Kanto again as Ash took on the Kanto {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}. He left briefly when the Advanced Generation series ended in order to visit his home, but quickly returned and is now traveling with Ash and {{an|Dawn}} in [[Sinnoh]].

Brock is among the longest-lived main characters in the anime, only being absent from the Orange Islands season and thus ranked under only the permanent characters of {{Ash}}, {{AP|Pikachu}}, [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}}.

===Pokémon===
As gym tradition dictated, Brock's first Pokémon were Rock-types. However, once he was able to leave his gym to travel, he has dedicated himself to learn about how to care for a variety of Pokémon. Thus, his Pokémon tend to be an eclectic mix of types and dispositions. However, all of his Pokémon tend to have strong bonds with Brock and are on par with {{Ash}}'s Pokémon in terms of battling strength, despite the fact that Brock does not go out of his way to train his Pokémon.

This listing is of Brock's Pokémon as of the most recent Japanese episode.

==In the manga==
===In Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Brock Special.png|right|thumb|Brock and his {{p|Geodude}}]]
Brock debuts in ''[[PS005|Onix is On!]]'' of the {{chap|Red, Green & Blue}}, however he is mentioned earlier by {{adv|Blue}} in ''[[PS004|Wanted: Pikachu!]]'' about being bored by no-oe being able to defeat him, or even get past the preliminaries. To gain access to Brock, a Trainer must win several rounds of battles against special Trainers of the Gym, and all of those battles are watched by him from a special room.

Brock is a brave Trainer, and he assists [[Erika]] and [[Misty]] in their {{pkmn|battle}}s against [[Team Rocket]]. He also gave {{adv|Yellow}} a {{p|Graveler}} after the good [[Gym Leader]]s of Kanto battled Agatha's mind-controlling {{{p|Gastly}}. However, he is also shown to be quick to anger and restless in his search for a good battle, and when discovering that {{adv|Red}}'s [[Pika]], the only remaining Pokémon of his, was disobedient, deemed his wins "dumb luck" and sought for a finisher attack instantly. However, when the boy begins to gain his Pokémon's trust, it chooses to fight for him and defeats his Onix.

After Blaine figured out that Red must have been at Mt. Moon before going missing, Brock volunteered to search there, since Mt. Moon was closest to [[Pewter City]]. He then found a cast of {{adv|Red}} frozen in ice there and contacted Blaine. Before all of the information could be exchanged, he found out that Pewter City was under attack by a group of [[Bruno]]'s {{p|Machop}} that was searching for Brock's {{badge|Boulder}}, and he left to protect it.

A few years later, he, along with Erika and Misty, traveled to Johto for the Gym Leader Tournament at the [[Indigo Plateau]], where he faced off against the expert of the newly discovered {{type|Steel}}, [[Jasmine]]. He lost the match and later fought against Team Rocket on the [[Magnet Train]].

Aside from being a Gym Leader, Brock also works as a security guard at the [[Pewter Museum of Science]].

Onix was first used in battle against {{adv|Red}}'s [[Pika]]. Despite the type advantage, Onix was defeated by the small electric type after it came to fight for Red of its own will. Three years later, Onix was sent out by Brock to use as a bridge when a bridge in the [[Tohjo Falls]] went out while Brock, Erika and Misty were heading to Johto, during which Misty is joined by {{p|Suicune}}. However, it itself collapsed when they were all attacked by a large group of {{p|Zubat}}, {{p|Golbat}} and {{p|Crobat}}. Once the group finally made it to the Indigo Plateau, Brock used Onix in his battle with Jasmine. It lost to Jasmine's {{p|Steelix}}, which he initially mistook as an Onix of a different variety due to its rock covering used to hide the fact that it was a new, undiscovered species at the time. Its known attacks are {{m|Rock Throw}}, {{m|Skull Bash}} and {{m|Bind}}.}}

===In Electric Tale of Pikachu===
Since the [[Electric Tale of Pikachu]] is based heavily on the {{pkmn|anime}}, Brock's appearances in it are mostly comparable to his anime appearances. However, he is not constantly traveling with Ash in the manga.

In ''[[ET04|Haunting My Dreams]]'', there are hints about him being [[MangaShipping|in a relationship]] with [[Sabrina]].

==In the TFG==
{{TFG ID|Next Quest|Brock|39}} appears as a rare Trainer figure in the launch set, {{TFG|Next Quest}}, of the [[Pokémon Trading Figure Game]].

==Trivia==
* Most official sources do not give Brock a last name. However, several sources suggest that in the anime, his last name is Harrison. In the July 2006 issue of [[K-Zone]] Magazine, [[Eric Stuart]] was interviewed and stated that Brock's last name is '''Harrison'''.
* In the anime, Brock's house is located directly behind the Pewter Gym. His room is only seen briefly in ''[[AG034|Having a Wailord of a Time]]'', but what is seen of it shows that it is decorated in a traditional Japanese style, including {{wp|fusuma}}, a {{wp|tansu}} chest, and a {{wp|futon}} for a bed.
* Brock owns two {{type2|Poison}} Pokémon, {{TP|Brock|Crobat}} and {{TP|Brock|Croagunk}}, whose names both start with ''Cro-''.
* Brock is currently the only main character of the anime with {{type2|Steel}} Pokémon, owning two, {{TP|Brock|Steelix}} and {{TP|Brock|Forretress}}.
* Brock is the fourth main character to own a Pokémon hatched from an egg. The first was [[Misty]] with {{TP|Misty|Togepi}} and later {{TP|Misty|Azurill}}, the second was {{Ash}} with {{TP|Ash|Phanpy}}, and the third was {{an|May}} with {{TP|May|Eevee}}.
* Brock is one of three of Ash's friends who has had their father make an appearance in the anime. The others are {{an|May}} and [[Max]], who are brother and sister. Coincidentally, both fathers are Gym Leaders.
* Brock captured a new Pokémon sooner after his debut than any other main character, even Ash, by capturing [[Brock's Crobat|Zubat]] in [[EP006]].
* Brock's ''Advanced Generation'' and ''Diamond & Pearl'' stock art use the same pose, changing only his outfit.
* Brock has been shown to be able to identify when women are really cross dressing men in disguise by having a peculiar lack of attraction to them. He's also able to do the opposite. A significant exception to this is Ash, who in the guise of [[Ashley]] was able to slip through Brock's radar, though this may be attributed to the fact Ash is younger than most of the girls Brock generally seeks out so he might've not payed much attention.
* Brock has owned four Pokémon [[List of Pokémon with cross-generational evolutions|whose evolutions debuted in a different generation]] than that Pokémon. ({{TP|Brock|Golbat|Crobat}}, {{TP|Brock|Onix|Steelix}}, {{TP|Brock|Bonsly|Sudowoodo}}, and {{TP|Brock|Happiny}}). Of the four, three of them have evolved so far.
*When the {{series|Advanced Generation}} started, Brock brought only his {{TP|Brock|Forretress}} with him. Forretress is not in the [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number|Hoenn Pokédex]].
* Despite starting out as a Rock-type Gym Leader, of all the Pokémon Brock currently owns, only one is pure Rock-type, {{TP|Brock|Sudowoodo}}. Currently, it is [[party|with him]].
* Brock is the only one out of all of Ash's friends to have owned at least one Pokémon from each of the four generations.
* In the video games (notably, the [[Pokémon Stadium series]]), Brock has been shown with several Pokémon that he would later own in the anime ({{p|Golbat}} in Stadium's Round 2 fight, {{p|Forretress}} in Stadium 2's Round 1 fight, and {{p|Steelix}} in Stadium 2's Round 2 fight).
* Brock is the only one of [[Ash's friends]] to appear in every movie. His appearance in ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'' was merely a cameo though.
* Despite being a Rock-type [[Pokémon Trainer]], none of his Pokémon knew any Rock-type moves in [[Generation I]]. This did not occur in [[Generation III]] due to his chosen TM changing from {{TM|34|Bide}} to {{TM|39|Rock Tomb}}.
* Brock is one of two [[Gym Leader]]s not to give the {{player}} a TM of his {{t|Rock|Gym's specialty type}}, the other being [[Falkner]]. This is only true in [[Generation I]].
** However in [[Generation II]] there was no TM that contained a {{type2|Flying}} move, but in [[Generation I]] there was {{TM|48|Rock Slide}} which is {{type2|Rock}}.
* In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, Brock trades the player a {{p|Rhyhorn}} knowing {{m|Thunder Fang}} (an [[egg moves|egg move]]) in exchange for a {{p|Bonsly}}. This may be a reference to his anime counterpart, who is a [[Pokémon Breeder]] and once owned a Bonsly as well before it evolved.
* Out of all of his Pokémon in the handheld games, only {{p|Rampardos|one}} does not suffer from a double weakness against {{t|Grass}}.

===Interview with Hidaka about Brock's short absence from the anime===
There had been some debate between members of the fanbase in regards to why Brock was removed from the main cast during the Orange Islands arc, why [[Tracey Sketchit]] was created, and why Brock returned later. In a [http://www.pokebeach.com/news/0708/second-pokemon-interview-with-masamitsu-hidaka-many-interesting-points recent interview] with former Pokémon anime director and storyboard artist [[Masamitsu Hidaka]], he stated his own reason why Brock was removed from the cast and why he eventually returned. He (or, rather his translator) revealed that the true reason they replaced Brock is because, once they realized Pokémon was going global, there was a chance that Americans, if not anyone else outside of Japan, would view Brock as a racist stereotype because of his eyes (even though there wasn't an actual complaint yet). So they created a "tall, anglo-saxon looking person to be on the safe side". They later replaced Tracey with Brock again once they realized that no one really cared as to what Brock looks like, and actually enjoyed his character.

However, this was only stated by Hidaka and not by any other staff member.

Celadon Condominiums

Alpha001:

'''Celadon Mansion''' is a large building found in [[Celadon City]]. It is here that players of both the [[Generation I]] games and their [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen|Generation III remakes]] can find an {{p|Eevee}}, and where players of the [[Generation II]] games can find [[TM03]] - {{m|Curse}}, at [[night]].

It is also the home of the [[Game Freak]] development studio, where the lead developer will give the player a [[diploma]] that signifies that they have completed the [[National Dex]].

Celadon Mansion plays a more vital role in [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen]]. The player must enter the building, where, on the first floor, he/she will encounter an old woman. The old woman will give the player [[Tea]], which he/she must use to enter Saffron City. Also, if the player is pursuing the [[Fame Checker]] sidequest, the second floor proves useful as well, providing information about [[Erika]].

Going into the Mansion from the back not only leads the player to Eevee, but to the Know-It-All as well; this NPC provides the player with standard information concerning status changes if the player reads the blackboard.

First Floor: Old Woman

Second Floor: Erika's Fame Checker entry

Third Floor: GAME FREAK

Fourth Floor (Front): Nothing

Fourth Floor (Back): Know-It-All, Eevee

'''Articuno''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''フリーザー''' ''Freezer'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ice|Flying}} Pokémon. It's found in the [[Kanto]] region in the [[Seafoam Islands]]. Articuno appeared in the movie ''[[The Power of One]]''. Like {{p|Moltres}} and {{p|Zapdos}}, in the film it was violent and destructive.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Articuno takes the form of a large bird with predominantly blue plumage. Its coloring is darkest on its long streamer-like tail and head crest. Its head crest is fairly simple, consisting of three rhombus-shaped feathers on its forehead. Its body is a sky-blue, growing lighter on its chest and belly. Its most distinctive feature is its large wings, which look like they are made of ice. It has a small gray beak and similarly colored, thin legs. An Articuno in flight is a magnificent sight to behold.

====Gender differences====
Articuno is a genderless species.

===Special abilities===
When Articuno flaps its wings, it can chill the moisture in the air around it, making snow fall.

===Behavior===
Articuno, along with {{p|Zapdos}} and {{p|Moltres}} is one of the [[legendary birds]] of Kanto. Articuno is more passive than its counterparts; due to its isolation in the highest mountains, Articuno dislikes battling. They are poorly understood species, believed by many to be pure myth. According to legend, it appears before doomed travelers lost in icy regions. It is impossible to tell if these are valid sightings, or merely delusions of the dying. It is described as being spectacular in flight: with its long tail streaming behind it, and its wings shining like ice. It is said to cause snow to fall when it flies, and has the potential ability to create {{m|blizzard}}s.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Rare.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Rare Pokémon|Rare Pokémon]]]]
Articuno lives in cold places, isolated usually mountains. An Articuno is known to roost inside the seafoam islands of Kanto. However, Articuno is an extremely rare (if not one-of-a-kind) Pokémon due to its "[[Legendary]]" status.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:Articuno anime.jpg|thumb|right|[[Factory Head Noland|Noland]] with an Articuno]]
Articuno first appeared in the [[The Power of One|second movie]]. [[Lawrence III]] attempted to collect Articuno and the two other [[legendary birds]] in his scheme to capture {{p|Lugia}}.

Another was seen in the episode ''[[EP189|Freeze Frame]]''. It appears to Team Rocket early in the episode, and then to Ash, Todd, Misty, and Brock. Travelers say that the Articuno watch over them on their journeys through the mountains of [[Johto]]. [[Nurse Joy]] says that Articuno has a nest in all the high mountains and cold places in the world, and flies from nest to nest bringing cold weather with it.

Also, the [[Frontier Brain]] [[Factory Head Noland|Noland]] uses one against challengers like Ash, as seen in the episode ''[[AG135|Numero Uno Articuno]]'' in his battle against {{Ash}}.

==In the manga==
In Pokémon Special, Articuno is shown to seal itself in a block of ice when it senses the presence of an enemy. It strongly dislikes confrontation.

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

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
When released from a [[Poké Ball]], Articuno will use a {{m|Blizzard}} attack that freezes any opponent that is caught in it for a few seconds.

====Trophy information====
Clouds gather, the barometer plunges, and fresh snow falls from the frigid air when this [[legendary Pokémon]] takes wing. Graceful and elegant, it boasts long tail feathers that flap in the wind and are lovely to behold. As would be expected, its combat moves are based on its cold nature; they include {{m|Ice Beam}} and {{m|Blizzard}}.

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2]]: Articuno is the guardian of the [[Seven Treasures|Icy Flute]].

==Trivia==
* In {{3v2|Red|Blue|Yellow}}, as well as {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, there are binoculars in the guardhouse separating [[Fuchsia City]] from {{rt|15}}, through which Articuno can be seen flying toward the sea. It is still visible in the binoculars if it is captured or defeated in the [[Seafoam Islands]].
* In every game before the fourth generation, Articuno's beak and legs were blue. In the fourth generation they were changed to gray.
* In the opening of ''[[EP188|Spring Fever]]'', [[Todd Snap|Todd]] points out a tall mountain that is Articuno's home. This mountain is, on the outside, the same as [[Ice Island|Articuno's home]] in ''[[The Power of One]]''.
* Articuno is considered "cheapskate" by some fans because of its ability to learn both {{m|Sheer Cold}}, a [[One-hit knockout move]], and {{m|Mind Reader}}, which makes the next move used 100% accurate.
* In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2]], it is the only one in its trio that cannot be encountered unless the player enters an event password.
* Although legendaries are said to be incapable of breeding, [[Pokémon Snap]] shows Articuno and the other birds are born from eggs, which means they were bred in some way.
* Articuno is the first legendary Pokémon in [[National Dex]] order.

===Origin===
This [[Pokémon]]'s appearance is based on the Arabic Anka myth, which is that of a giant arctic bird. The bird is similar to the {{wp|phoenix}} as it is known to resurrect itself and appear to doomed people in the mountains. Also, its long tail and small body may be reference to the rare bird, the {{wp|quetzal}}. Its white, feathery chest makes it resemblant to the Norse god Odin.

====Name origin====
Articuno's name is a combination of the words ''arctic'' and ''uno'', the {{wp|Spanish language|Spanish}} word for one, indicating that it is the first in the series of [[Kanto]] [[legendary birds]]. Its Japanese name is simply ''Freezer'', one who freezes.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Arktos
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Artikodin - From ''arctique'' meaning arctic and ''Odin'', the Norse God.
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 프리져 ''Peurijyeo''

'''Articuno''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''フリーザー''' ''Freezer'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ice|Flying}} Pokémon. It's found in the [[Kanto]] region in the [[Seafoam Islands]]. Articuno appeared in the movie ''[[The Power of One]]''. Like {{p|Moltres}} and {{p|Zapdos}}, in the film it was violent and destructive.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Articuno takes the form of a large bird with predominantly blue plumage. Its coloring is darkest on its long streamer-like tail and head crest. Its head crest is fairly simple, consisting of three rhombus-shaped feathers on its forehead. Its body is a sky-blue, growing lighter on its chest and belly. Its most distinctive feature is its large wings, which look like they are made of ice. It has a small gray beak and similarly colored, thin legs. An Articuno in flight is a magnificent sight to behold.

====Gender differences====
Articuno is a genderless species.

===Special abilities===
When Articuno flaps its wings, it can chill the moisture in the air around it, making snow fall.

In addition to creating snow and blizzards, Articuno has minimal psychic powers in its mountain home; it saves [[Ash]] and [[Todd]] in [[EP189|Freeze Frame]] after they fall into a crevasse.

===Behavior===
Articuno, along with {{p|Zapdos}} and {{p|Moltres}} is one of the [[legendary birds]] of Kanto. Articuno is more passive than its counterparts; due to its isolation in the highest mountains, Articuno dislikes battling. They are poorly understood species, believed by many to be pure myth. According to legend, it appears before doomed travelers lost in icy regions. It is impossible to tell if these are valid sightings, or merely delusions of the dying. It is described as being spectacular in flight: with its long tail streaming behind it, and its wings shining like ice. It is said to cause snow to fall when it flies, and has the potential ability to create {{m|blizzard}}s.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Rare.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Rare Pokémon|Rare Pokémon]]]]
Articuno lives in cold places, isolated usually mountains. An Articuno is known to roost inside the seafoam islands of Kanto. However, Articuno is an extremely rare (if not one-of-a-kind) Pokémon due to its "[[Legendary]]" status.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:Articuno anime.jpg|thumb|right|[[Factory Head Noland|Noland]] with an Articuno]]
Articuno first appeared in the [[The Power of One|second movie]]. [[Lawrence III]] attempted to collect Articuno and the two other [[legendary birds]] in his scheme to capture {{p|Lugia}}.

Another was seen in the episode ''[[EP189|Freeze Frame]]''. It appears to Team Rocket early in the episode, and then to Ash, Todd, Misty, and Brock. Travelers say that the Articuno watch over them on their journeys through the mountains of [[Johto]]. [[Nurse Joy]] says that Articuno has a nest in all the high mountains and cold places in the world, and flies from nest to nest bringing cold weather with it.

Also, the [[Frontier Brain]] [[Factory Head Noland|Noland]] uses one against challengers like Ash, as seen in the episode ''[[AG135|Numero Uno Articuno]]'' in his battle against {{Ash}}.

==In the manga==
In Pokémon Special, Articuno is shown to seal itself in a block of ice when it senses the presence of an enemy. It strongly dislikes confrontation.

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

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
When released from a [[Poké Ball]], Articuno will use a {{m|Blizzard}} attack that freezes any opponent that is caught in it for a few seconds.

====Trophy information====
Clouds gather, the barometer plunges, and fresh snow falls from the frigid air when this [[legendary Pokémon]] takes wing. Graceful and elegant, it boasts long tail feathers that flap in the wind and are lovely to behold. As would be expected, its combat moves are based on its cold nature; they include {{m|Ice Beam}} and {{m|Blizzard}}.

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2]]: Articuno is the guardian of the [[Seven Treasures|Icy Flute]].

* In the opening of ''[[EP188|Spring Fever]]'', [[Todd Snap|Todd]] points out a tall mountain that is Articuno's home. This mountain is, on the outside, the same as [[Ice Island|Articuno's home]] in ''[[The Power of One]]''.
* Articuno is considered "cheapskate" by some fans because of its ability to learn both {{m|Sheer Cold}}, a [[One-hit knockout move]], and {{m|Mind Reader}}, which makes the next move used 100% accurate.
* In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2]], it is the only one in its trio that cannot be encountered unless the player enters an event password.
* Although legendaries are said to be incapable of breeding, [[Pokémon Snap]] shows Articuno and the other birds are born from eggs, which means they were bred in some way.
* Articuno is the first legendary Pokémon in [[National Dex]] order.

===Origin===
This [[Pokémon]]'s appearance is based on the Arabic Anka myth, which is that of a giant arctic bird. The bird is similar to the {{wp|phoenix}} as it is known to resurrect itself and appear to doomed people in the mountains. Also, its long tail and small body may be reference to the rare bird, the {{wp|quetzal}}. Its white, feathery chest makes it resemblant to the Norse god Odin.

====Name origin====
Articuno's name is a combination of the words ''arctic'' and ''uno'', the {{wp|Spanish language|Spanish}} word for one, indicating that it is the first in the series of [[Kanto]] [[legendary birds]]. Its Japanese name is simply ''Freezer'', one who freezes.

'''Articuno''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''フリーザー''' ''Freezer'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ice|Flying}} Pokémon. It's found in the [[Kanto]] region in the [[Seafoam Islands]]. Articuno appeared in the movie ''[[The Power of One]]''. Like {{p|Moltres}} and {{p|Zapdos}}, in the film it was violent and destructive.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Articuno takes the form of a large bird with predominantly blue plumage. Its coloring is darkest on its long streamer-like tail and head crest. Its head crest is fairly simple, consisting of three rhombus-shaped feathers on its forehead. Its body is a sky-blue, growing lighter on its chest and belly. Its most distinctive feature is its large wings, which look like they are made of ice. It has a small gray beak and similarly colored, thin legs. An Articuno in flight is a magnificent sight to behold.

====Gender differences====
Articuno is a genderless species.

===Special abilities===
When Articuno flaps its wings, it can chill the moisture in the air around it, making snow fall.

===Behavior===
Articuno, along with {{p|Zapdos}} and {{p|Moltres}} is one of the [[legendary birds]] of Kanto. Articuno is more passive than its counterparts; due to its isolation in the highest mountains, Articuno dislikes battling. They are poorly understood species, believed by many to be pure myth. According to legend, it appears before doomed travelers lost in icy regions. It is impossible to tell if these are valid sightings, or merely delusions of the dying. It is described as being spectacular in flight: with its long tail streaming behind it, and its wings shining like ice. It is said to cause snow to fall when it flies, and has the potential ability to create {{m|blizzard}}s.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Rare.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Rare Pokémon|Rare Pokémon]]]]
Articuno lives in cold places, isolated usually mountains. An Articuno is known to roost inside the seafoam islands of Kanto. However, Articuno is an extremely rare (if not one-of-a-kind) Pokémon due to its "[[Legendary]]" status.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:Articuno anime.jpg|thumb|right|[[Factory Head Noland|Noland]] with an Articuno]]
Articuno first appeared in the [[The Power of One|second movie]]. [[Lawrence III]] attempted to collect Articuno and the two other [[legendary birds]] in his scheme to capture {{p|Lugia}}.

Another was seen in the episode ''[[EP189|Freeze Frame]]''. Travelers say that the Articuno watch over them on their journeys through the mountains of [[Johto]]. [[Nurse Joy]] says that Articuno has a nest in all the high mountains and cold places in the world, and flies from nest to nest bringing cold weather with it.

Also, the [[Frontier Brain]] [[Factory Head Noland|Noland]] uses one against challengers like Ash, as seen in the episode ''[[AG135|Numero Uno Articuno]]'' in his battle against {{Ash}}.

==In the manga==
In Pokémon Special, Articuno is shown to seal itself in a block of ice when it senses the presence of an enemy. It strongly dislikes confrontation.

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

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
When released from a [[Poké Ball]], Articuno will use a {{m|Blizzard}} attack that freezes any opponent that is caught in it for a few seconds.

====Trophy information====
Clouds gather, the barometer plunges, and fresh snow falls from the frigid air when this [[legendary Pokémon]] takes wing. Graceful and elegant, it boasts long tail feathers that flap in the wind and are lovely to behold. As would be expected, its combat moves are based on its cold nature; they include {{m|Ice Beam}} and {{m|Blizzard}}.

* In {{3v2|Red|Blue|Yellow}}, as well as {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, there are binoculars in the guardhouse separating [[Fuchsia City]] from {{rt|15}}, through which Articuno can be seen flying toward the sea.

* In every game before the fourth generation, Articuno's beak and legs were blue. In the fourth generation they were changed to gray.
* In the opening of ''[[EP188|Spring Fever]]'', [[Todd Snap|Todd]] points out a tall mountain that is Articuno's home. This mountain is, on the outside, the same as [[Ice Island|Articuno's home]] in ''[[The Power of One]]''.

Graceful and elegant, it boasts long tail feathers that flap in the wind and are lovely to behold. As would be expected, its combat moves are based on its cold nature; they include {{m|Ice Beam}} and {{m|Blizzard}}.

==Trivia==
* In {{3v2|Red|Blue|Yellow}}, [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed, and LeafGreen]] versions, there are binoculars in the guardhouse separating [[Fuchsia City]] from {{rt|15}}, through which Articuno can be seen flying toward the sea. It is still visible in the binoculars if it is captured or defeated in the [[Seafoam Islands]].
* In every game before the fourth generation, Articuno's beak and legs were blue. In the fourth generation they were changed to gray.
* In the opening of [[EP188|Spring Fever]], [[Todd]] points out a tall mountain that is Articuno's home. This mountain is, on the outside, the same as [[Ice Island|Articuno's home in Pokémon 2000]].
* Articuno is considered "cheapskate" by some fans because of its ability to learn both {{m|Sheer Cold}}, a [[One-hit knockout move]], and {{m|Mind Reader}}, which makes the next move used 100% accurate.
* In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2]], it is the only one in its trio that cannot be encountered unless the player enters an event password.
* Although legendaries are said to be incapable of breeding, [[Pokémon Snap]] shows Articuno and the other birds are born from eggs, which means they were bred in some way.
* Articuno is the first legendary Pokémon in [[National Dex]] order.

===Origin===
This [[Pokémon]]'s appearance is based on the Arabic Anka myth, which is that of a giant arctic bird. The bird is similar to the {{wp|phoenix}} as it is known to resurrect itself and appear to doomed people in the mountains. Also, its long tail and small body may be reference to the rare bird, the {{wp|quetzal}}. Its white, feathery chest makes it resemblant to the Norse god Odin.

====Name origin====
Articuno's name is a combination of the words ''arctic'' and ''uno'', the {{wp|Spanish language|Spanish}} word for one, indicating that it is the first in the series of [[Kanto]] [[legendary birds]]. Its Japanese name is simply ''Freezer'', one who freezes.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Arktos
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Artikodin - From ''arctique'' meaning arctic and ''Odin'', the Norse God.
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 프리져 ''Peurijyeo''

'''Articuno''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''フリーザー''' ''Freezer'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ice|Flying}} Pokémon. It's found in the [[Kanto]] region in the [[Seafoam Islands]]. Articuno appeared in the movie ''[[The Power of One]]''. Like {{p|Moltres}} and {{p|Zapdos}}, in the film it was violent and destructive.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Articuno takes the form of a large bird with predominantly blue plumage. Its coloring is darkest on its long streamer-like tail and head crest. Its head crest is fairly simple, consisting of three rhombus-shaped feathers on its forehead. Its body is a sky-blue, growing lighter on its chest and belly. Its most distinctive feature is its large wings, which look like they are made of ice. It has a small gray beak and similarly colored, thin legs. An Articuno in flight is a magnificent sight to behold.

====Gender differences====
Articuno is a genderless species.

===Special abilities===
When Articuno flaps its wings, it can chill the moisture in the air around it, making snow fall.

===Behavior===
Articuno, along with {{p|Zapdos}} and {{p|Moltres}} is one of the [[legendary birds]] of Kanto. Articuno is more passive than its counterparts; due to its isolation in the highest mountains, Articuno dislikes battling. They are poorly understood species, believed by many to be pure myth. According to legend, it appears before doomed travelers lost in icy regions. It is impossible to tell if these are valid sightings, or merely delusions of the dying. It is described as being spectacular in flight: with its long tail streaming behind it, and its wings shining like ice. It is said to cause snow to fall when it flies, and has the potential ability to create {{m|blizzard}}s.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Rare.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Rare Pokémon|Rare Pokémon]]]]
Articuno lives in cold places, isolated usually mountains. An Articuno is known to roost inside the seafoam islands of Kanto. However, Articuno is an extremely rare (if not one-of-a-kind) Pokémon due to its "[[Legendary]]" status.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:Articuno anime.jpg|thumb|right|[[Factory Head Noland|Noland]] with an Articuno]]
Articuno first appeared in the [[The Power of One|second movie]]. [[Lawrence III]] attempted to collect Articuno and the two other [[legendary birds]] in his scheme to capture {{p|Lugia}}.

Another was seen in the episode ''[[EP189|Freeze Frame]]''. Travelers say that the Articuno watch over them on their journeys through the mountains of [[Johto]]. [[Nurse Joy]] suggested that many other Articuno probably have nests in other cold locations with high altitudes.

Also, the [[Frontier Brain]] [[Factory Head Noland|Noland]] uses one against challengers like Ash, as seen in the episode ''[[AG135|Numero Uno Articuno]]'' in his battle against {{Ash}}.

==In the manga==
In Pokémon Special, Articuno is shown to seal itself in a block of ice when it senses the presence of an enemy. It strongly dislikes confrontation.

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

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
When released from a [[Poké Ball]], Articuno will use a {{m|Blizzard}} attack that freezes any opponent that is caught in it for a few seconds.

====Trophy information====
Clouds gather, the barometer plunges, and fresh snow falls from the frigid air when this [[legendary Pokémon]] takes wing. Graceful and elegant, it boasts long tail feathers that flap in the wind and are lovely to behold. As would be expected, its combat moves are based on its cold nature; they include {{m|Ice Beam}} and {{m|Blizzard}}.

It is still visible in the binoculars if it is captured or defeated in the [[Seafoam Islands]].
* In every game before the fourth generation, Articuno's beak and legs were blue. In the fourth generation they were changed to gray.
* Articuno is considered "cheapskate" by some fans because of its ability to learn both {{m|Sheer Cold}}, a [[One-hit knockout move]], and {{m|Mind Reader}}, which makes the next move used 100% accurate.
* In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2]], it is the only one in its trio that cannot be encountered unless the player enters an event password.
* Although legendaries are said to be incapable of breeding, [[Pokémon Snap]] shows Articuno and the other birds are born from eggs, which means they were bred in some way.
* Articuno is the first legendary Pokémon in [[National Dex]] order.

===Origin===
This [[Pokémon]]'s appearance is based on the Arabic Anka myth, which is that of a giant arctic bird. The bird is similar to the {{wp|phoenix}} as it is known to resurrect itself and appear to doomed people in the mountains. Also, its long tail and small body may be reference to the rare bird, the {{wp|quetzal}}. Its white, feathery chest makes it resemblant to the Norse god Odin.

====Name origin====
Articuno's name is a combination of the words ''arctic'' and ''uno'', the {{wp|Spanish language|Spanish}} word for one, indicating that it is the first in the series of [[Kanto]] [[legendary birds]]. Its Japanese name is simply ''Freezer'', one who freezes.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Arktos
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Artikodin - From ''arctique'' meaning arctic and ''Odin'', the Norse God.
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 프리져 ''Peurijyeo''

[[Image:KidsWBBeta.PNG|thumb|130px|The online network's current logo.]]
'''Kids' WB!''' is an online network that broadcasts WB animated TV shows. From 1995-2008 it was a rpogramming block that was broadcasted on {{wp|The WB}} and then {{wp|The CW}}, due to {{wp|The WB}} and {{wp|UPN}} merging. It used aired the English-language dub of the [[Pokémon anime]] in the USA. The logo of Kid's WB varied between {{wp|Michigan J. Frog}} and the WB Water Tower.

The network first obtained the rights to air ''Pokémon'' late in the first season, beginning with ''[[EP044|The Problem with Paras]]''. They then went on to air the rest of that season, as well as all seasons through season eight. Warner Bros. also used the Kids' WB! name in their promotions of the first three [[Pokémon movies]].
[[Image:KidsWB.PNG|thumb|left|130px|The Kids' WB! logo used from 1998-2001.]]
In 2006, the network announced that they would be dropping all non-{{wp|Warner Brothers|WB}} shows. Because ''Pokémon'' is not produced by the WB, it was dropped from the network, along with {{wp|Yu-Gi-Oh! (second series anime)|Yu-Gi-Oh!}} and several other shows.

On October 2nd, 2007 it was announced that the block would end in September 2008. The reason stated is because of effects of children's advertising limits and cable competition. The block was be sold to [[4Kids Entertainment]], meaning that they will run two different programming blocks: {{wp|4Kids TV}} on FOX, and the new {{wp|The CW4Kids}} on {{wp|The CW}}. It was revealed the last Kids' WB airing would be May 17th, 2008, following the next weekend the block would become The CW 4Kids. Kids' WB!, along with The WB are now online networks and the Kids' WB! website is now cw4kids.com

Game Boy Color

Alpha001:

[[Image:100px-Game Boy Color.jpg|thumb|left|Game Boy Color]]

The '''Game Boy Color''' is [[Nintendo]]'s handheld gaming system which succeeded the [[Game Boy|earlier model]]. It was released on October 21, 1998 in Japan, in November, 1998 in North America, and 1999 in Europe. The main feature of this model, as the name says, is the color screen. The first Pokémon game to this handheld was the English version of [[Pokémon Yellow]].

The processor, which is an 8080 work-alike with a few extra (bit manipulation) instructions, has a clock speed of approx. 8 MHz, twice as fast as that of the original Game Boy. The Game Boy Color also has four times as much memory as the original. The console boasted an impressive palette of 32,768 colors and was capable of simultaneously displaying 56 colors at once. It could also add basic four-color shading to games that had been released for the ordinary Game Boy. Additionally, a new pixel-change feature was added for original Game Boy games; by holding the B button and any one of the directional arrows, the user could change the basic color palette for the game, the most popular being B+Down, which inverted all colors for the entire game.

The Game Boy Color was later succeeded by the [[Game Boy Advance]].

===Pokémon games for Game Boy Color===
*[[Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions]]
*[[Pokémon Crystal Version]]
*[[Pokémon Card GB]]
*[[Pokémon Card GB 2]]
*[[Pokémon Pinball]]
*[[Pokémon Puzzle Challenge]]
*Due to backward compatibility, all Pokémon games from the original [[Game Boy]] are also playable.
Although the English [[Pokémon Yellow Version]] has GBC features, it is officially classified an original Game Boy game by Nintendo.

Game Boy Advance SP

2008-06-28T20:21:00Z

Alpha001: /* Changes */

[[Image:Game Boy Advance SP.jpg|thumb|right|GBA SP, displaying the Game Boy logo.]]
The '''Game Boy Advance SP''' is [[Nintendo]]'s 32-bit handheld gaming system that surpassed the original [[Game Boy Advance]].

==Changes==
It has a clamshell design which can help prevent the screen from getting scratched. When open, it is almost the same size as the [[Game Boy Color]] but a bit thinner. The screen is a Reflective TFT Color LCD with an integrated frontlight enabling game play in dark places without the use of an external light source. The user has the option to turn the light on and off. In late 2005, Nintendo released an updated version of the GBA SP, with a backlight instead of the usual frontlight. This new lighting system allowed the user to enjoy games in better color and brightness; however, is causes a half-pixel screen lag.

Unlike previous Game Boys, the GBA SP does not require normal batteries. Instead it uses a rechargeable lithium ion battery which can be recharged using its own [[wp:AC adapter|AC adapter]]. The battery can last up to ten hours turned on with the light on, and only takes three hours to recharge fully.

Just like its predecessor, it is compatible with all Game Boy Advance games as well as [[Game Boy]] games. It has more or less replaced the old Game Boy Advance due to the former lacking many of the SP's critical features. Its charger input also is the same as that of the [[Nintendo DS]], and so can be used for both.

Unlike other Game Boy models, the SP does not have a headphone jack. Instead, a special adapter converts the extension port into one; also, Nintendo released headphones made especially for the GBA SP that plug into the charging port.

Dr. Footstep

2008-06-25T22:53:38Z

Alpha001:

{{cleanup}}
'''Dr. Footstep''' is a character who lives on [[Route 213]]. Said to be an expert on footprints, he gives Pokémon friendly to their trainers ribbons based on their footprints.

Interestingly, he can tell what a Pokémon feels about their trainer even if they do not leave footsteps.
{{stub}}
[[Category:Game characters|Footstep, Dr.]]
[[Category:Diamond and Pearl characters|Footstep, Dr.]]

Dr. Footstep has four different ratings on Pokémon friendship, which reflect the amount/size of hearts shown on the Friendship Pokétch app. (For the purposes of these examples, [[Mew|Mew]] will be used as the Pokémon being examined and [[Ash|Ash]] will be Mew's Trainer.)

'''Level 1''' (no hearts): "Humans can't understand the cries of Pokémon, nor our feelings. However, there are some among us that understand human speech...Hehehe, Ash, you're not bad for a human.

'''Level 2''' (one small heart): "If a Pokémon were to travel along, it would be limited as to where it could go. But traveling with a human, a Pokémon would be able to travel farther afield to more distant cities and lands. Traveling with Ash has been rewarding and reassuring. And very entertaining..."

The '''Level 3''' (two medium hearts) rating varies depending on the Pokémon. Some variations are:
"Hnurrr...I don't know how to begin saying this...I liked living quietly before I met Ash. Sssh. But I'm getting to like traveling with Ash. I think I'm getting funky. Do you think I'm sort of funky? No? No funk for me? Hnurrr..."
"Not for a moment did I think I would be traveling with a human...If my Mew friends were to see me now, they would be shocked. Or would they be envious of me...?"

'''Level 4''' (two large hearts/maximum happiness): Ash is...A remarkable human and Trainer. That I can always perform the best any Mew possibly can...I attribute that entirely to my partner Ash. When we travel I can see wild Pokémon eyeing us enviously..."

If a Pokémon receives a Level 4 rating, Dr. Footstep will award it a Footstep Ribbon.

'''Ash's Squirtle''' (Japanese: '''サトシのゼニガメ''' ''Satoshi's Zenigame'') was [[Ash Ketchum|Ash's]] sixth Pokémon. It was voiced by 愛河里花子 ''[[Rikako Aikawa]]'' in Japanese and [[Eric Stuart]] in the English dub.

==History==
[[Image:Ash'sSquirtle.gif|left|thumb|Squirtle wearing sunglasses]]It used to be the leader of a gang known as the [[Squirtle Squad]], who were a group of rogue Squirtle who were deserted by their trainers. [[Meowth (Team Rocket)|Meowth]] of [[Team Rocket]] manages to befriend the Squirtle squad by convincing them that [[Jessie]] and [[James]] are his pets. The Squirtle Squad then capture Ash, [[Misty]] and [[Brock]] so they can take {{AP|Pikachu}} back to Meowth. Ash managed to convince the Squirtle Squad to let him free to get a Super Potion for Pikachu, who was badly injured after an earlier encounter with a {{p|Goldeen}}. The Squirtle Squad agree to let Ash go to town to buy a Super Potion, but if he wasn't back by noon the next day, they would kill Misty (In the dub they threatened to dye her hair purple).

When Ash got back with the Super Potion, Team Rocket began bombing the Squirtle Squad after they recieved Pikachu. Ash, Misty and Brock ran to hide in the Squirtle Squad's cave, however when Ash noticed that the leader was stuck on his shell he went back to save it, Squirtle then defeated Team Rocket with {{m|Water Gun}}. However, there was now a forest fire which started due to the bombs, which the Squirtle squad worked together to put out. After putting out the Fire, [[Officer Jenny]] appoints the Squirtle Squad as the official Fire Fighters of the town. The leader of the Squirtle Squad preferred to join Ash on his journey than fight fires with the Squirtle Squad, as it wanted to repay Ash for saving its life after Team Rocket tried to bomb it.

Squirtle is shown to be a born leader and prefers to wear sunglasses occasionally, wearing them when investigating [[Jigglypuff (anime)|Jigglypuff's]] presence on the [[EP060|Island of Turtle Pokémon]] and when it competed against [[Team Wartortle]] to prove itself, its fire-fighting spirit hurt by its inability to put out the fire that Team Wartortle had extinguished. It served as Pikachu's 'steed' when the group competed in a [[EP033|race]], but the two were put out of the running by a {{m|Glare}} attack from [[Jessie's Arbok|Arbok]]. During the [[Indigo Plateau Conference]], Squirtle won Ash's second round by defeating a {{p|Nidorino}}. One of its most notable battles was when it was pitted against [[Rudy]]'s {{p|Starmie}}, which had somehow learned how to use {{m|Thunderbolt}}; despite the power of the electric attack, Squirtle not only defeated Starmie, but learned {{m|Hydro Pump}} in the process.

During Ash's travels in Johto, he competed in an event called the [[EP147|Fire and Rescue Grand Prix]], a firefighting competition for water Pokémon. As luck would have it, one of the teams was the Squirtle Squad, but they were confused without their leader. Ash's Squirtle led the Squirtle Squad to win the Grand Prix, and at the end of the episode Squirtle returns to the Squirtle Squad because Ash felt that the old gang needed Squirtle more than he did. It returned briefly to [[EP267|battle in the]] [[Silver Conference]], fighting alongside {{AP|Totodile}} and {{AP|Phanpy}} against {{type2|Fire}} trainer [[Macey]] and defeating her {{p|Electabuzz}} despite the type disadvantage. It has since reappeared to help him with his final battle against [[Pyramid King Brandon|Brandon]], meeting [[May's Squirtle]] and defeating Brandon's [[Ninjask (Pokémon)|Ninjask]] in the process.

==Moves used==
* {{m|Tackle}}
* {{m|Water Gun}}
* {{m|Bubble}}
* {{m|Withdraw}}
* {{m|Skull Bash}}
* {{m|Hydro Pump}}
* {{m|Rapid Spin}}

==Trivia==
*This is [[Ash Ketchum|Ash's]] first turtle-based Pokémon, the others being {{AP|Torkoal}} and {{AP|Turtwig}}.
*Out of Ash's turtle-based Pokémon, it's the only one that is not voiced by 三木眞一郎 ''[[Shin'ichirō Miki]]'' in Japanese and, coincidentally, by [[Jimmy Zoppi|Billy Beach]] at some point in English.
*Squirtle is the only member of Ash's original team of six ({{AP|Pikachu}}, {{AP|Butterfree}}, {{AP|Pidgeot}}, {{AP|Bulbasaur}}, {{AP|Charizard}}, and itself) to neither evolve nor indicate any refusal to.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

==Counterparts==
[[Ash Ketchum]] from the [[anime]] and [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]] manga was designed based on Red. Furthermore, Ash's name comes from one of the optional names for Red. This has caused many fans to mistake Red for his anime counterpart. However, they are not the same and using one's name for the other is always a big mistake. There are also many fans that believe that the main hero from [[Pokémon Yellow Version]] is Ash. This is also untrue. [[Pokémon Yellow Version|Yellow's]] protagonist is still Red but slightly redesigned to look more similar to Ash, much like the storyline was designed to be closer to the anime.

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

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

==Trivia==
*When Red is encountered in [[Mt. Silver]] during [[Generation II]], he has no speech, merely repeating an ellipsis before beginning the battle. This is a reference to the fact that during [[Generation I]] he is a [[wp:silent protagonist|silent protagonist]], answering only "yes" or "no" questions. After he is defeated, the screen whites out and he vanishes, a reference to the fact that as the player, Red would white out and teleport to the last-used [[Pokémon Center]] when he ran out of Pokémon.
*When challenged, Red's team is at the highest level of any normal Trainer battle in the games (this excludes the Battle Tower and Battle Frontier, along with Stadium games and the like). His {{p|Pikachu}} is the highest-leveled Pokémon one can face, as well, one level higher than {{p|Arceus}} in the wild.

'''Latios''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ラティオス''' ''Latios'') is a {{2t|Dragon|Psychic}}-type Pokémon.

=Biology=
==Physiology==
Latios has mostly the same body shape as Latias, but with a larger build. His lower body is blue instead of red and features the same triangle-shaped marking that Latias has, only red. The rest of Latios's body is gray instead of white. Latios has flatter ears and narrower eyes than Latias. The gray spot in the middle of Latios's blue face is shaped like a tear-drop.
===Gender differences===
Latios is a male-only species. For its female counterpart, see: {{p|Latias}}.

===Special abilities===
Latios comes with the ability {{a|Levitate}}, which causes {{type2|Ground}} moves to miss. Latios is able to fold in its arms and fly at the speed of a jet. It can make foes see images it has seen or what it imagines in its head. It can understand human speech. Even if it is hiding, Latios can detect the locations and emotions of others using telepathy. Latios's skills in battle are the same as Latias, except that its stats are catered towards sweeping while Latias's strength lies in tanking. Latios is capable of using {{m|Dragon Dance}} and {{m|Memento}} as opposed to Latias's ability to learn {{m|Charm}} and {{M|Healing Wish}}.

Latios is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that learns {{m|Luster Purge}}.

==Behavior==
Latios has a docile temperament and dislikes fighting. It will open its heart if it finds a trainer with a compassionate spirit.
==Habitat==

=In the manga=
Latios, along with Latias, was befriended by {{Special|Emerald}}, and took the young Trainer to the [[Battle Frontier]]. He later helped [[Todd Snap|Todd]] watch the events going on on top of the [[Battle_Frontier#Battle_Pyramid|Battle Pyramid]].

==Trivia==
* Latios and {{p|Latias}} are the first legendary Pokémon to have [[gender]]s.
* Latios is one of the few non-Flying type who can learn {{m|Fly}}. The others are {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Smeargle}}, {{p|Vibrava}}, {{p|Flygon}}, {{p|Latias}}, {{p|Giratina}} and {{p|Arceus}}.
* Before Generation IV, Latios either resisted or was weak to every type classified as special, taking no neutral hits from any. It shares this trait with {{p|Latias}}.
*Latios shares the same [[species]] name with its female counterpart {{p|Latias}}. They are both known as Eon Pokémon.
===Origin===
Latios appears to be a cross between a jet plane and a {{wp|dragon}}, although it and {{p|Latias}} may also draw inspiration from the philosophy of Yin/Yang and psychology of id/superego.
====Name origin====
It is possible that Latios's name is based on the {{wp|Latin}} word ''lateo'', hidden. The ''-os'' suffix in its name indicates that it is male, while the ''-as'' in ''{{p|Latias}}'' indicates that it is female.

'''Latios''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ラティオス''' ''Latios'') is a {{2t|Dragon|Psychic}}-type Pokémon.

=Biology=
==Physiology==
Latios has mostly the same body shape as Latias, but with a larger build. His lower body is blue instead of red and features the same triangle-shaped marking that Latias has, only red. The rest of Latios's body is gray instead of white. Latios has flatter ears and narrower eyes than Latias. The gray spot in the middle of Latios's blue face is shaped like a tear-drop.
===Gender differences===
Latios is a male-only species. For its female counterpart, see: {{p|Latias}}.

===Special abilities===
Latios comes with the ability {{a|Levitate}}, which causes {{type2|Ground}} moves to miss. Latios is able to fold in its arms and fly at the speed of a jet. It can make foes see images it has seen or what it imagines in its head. It can understand human speech. Even if it is hiding, Latios can detect the locations and emotions of others using telepathy. Latios's skills in battle are the same as Latias, except that its stats are catered towards sweeping while Latias's strength lies in tanking. Latios is capable of using {{m|Dragon Dance}} and {{m|Memento}} as opposed to Latias's ability to learn {{m|Charm}} and {{M|Healing Wish}}.

Latios is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that learns {{m|Luster Purge}}.

==Behavior==
Latios has a docile temperament and dislikes fighting. It will open its heart if it finds a trainer with a compassionate spirit.
==Habitat==

{{an|Latios}} has only appeared in ''[[Pokémon Heroes]]''. {{mov|Annie}} and [[Oakley]] captured Latios and used him to power the DMA along with the stolen [[Soul Dew]]. Latios ended up sacrificing himself to save [[Alto Mare]] from an enormous tidal wave.

=In the manga=
Latios, along with Latias, was befriended by {{Special|Emerald}}, and took the young Trainer to the [[Battle Frontier]]. He later helped [[Todd Snap|Todd]] watch the events going on on top of the [[Battle_Frontier#Battle_Pyramid|Battle Pyramid]].

==Trivia==
* Latios and {{p|Latias}} are the first legendary Pokémon to have [[gender]]s.
* Latios is one of the few non-Flying type who can learn {{m|Fly}}. The others are {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Smeargle}}, {{p|Vibrava}}, {{p|Flygon}}, {{p|Latias}}, {{p|Giratina}} and {{p|Arceus}}.
* Before Generation IV, Latios either resisted or was weak to every type classified as special, taking no neutral hits from any. It shares this trait with {{p|Latias}}.
*Latios shares the same [[species]] name with its female counterpart {{p|Latias}}. They are both known as Eon Pokémon.
===Origin===
Latios appears to be a cross between a jet plane and a {{wp|dragon}}, although it and {{p|Latias}} may also draw inspiration from the philosophy of Yin/Yang and psychology of id/ego.
====Name origin====
It is possible that Latios's name is based on the {{wp|Latin}} word ''lateo'', hidden. The ''-os'' suffix in its name indicates that it is male, while the ''-as'' in ''{{p|Latias}}'' indicates that it is female.
