==Synopsis==
{{incomplete synopsis}}
As {{Ash}}, {{an|Brock}}, and {{an|Dawn}} are walking with [[Johanna]] they are enjoying the [[Twinleaf Festival]], suddenly {{an|Barry}} runs into Ash. Barry challenges Ash to a battle and tells Ash that he will be entering the Pokémon battling event. As the two run of to have their battle Johanna tells Dawn to go with them and she runs off after them. Then, [[Sayer]] tells Johanna that one of their booth salesman have gotten ill and that they are one salesperson short. To help solve the problem Brock offers to run the stand for him. While Barry's Heracross and Pikachu are battling when a {{p|Xatu}}, flies over. Dawn looks it up on her [[Pokédex]] and Barry runs off following it with Ash and Brock in pursuit. As they catch up they see a big tent up ahead with a {{p|Grumpig}}, {{p|Mr.Mime}},{{p|Seel}}, and a {{p|Alakazam}} are outside doing circus tricks. Barry tells Ash and Dawn that the tent used to be a part of the festival

Ash wakes up in a field of tall grass. He stands up and sees a {{p|Nidoking}} and a {{p|Nidoqueen}} battling. Ash wonders why they are so big then a big group of {{p|Combee}} fly over. An {{p|Aipom}} runs up a tree and they are all bigger than normal. A {{p|Skorupi}} walks by along with a pack of {{p|Mightyena}}. Ash runs after them but falls down a hole. As he gets back out a {{p|Natu}} runs by and Ash climbs out of the hole to follow it.

Dawn is standing along a river, calling for Ash and {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}}. She sees a Natu hop by and looks it up on her [[Pokédex]]. She wants to battle it but her [[Poké Ball]]s are not working.

Barry is sitting on the edge of a cliff, watching a herd of {{p|Tauros}} and {{p|Dodrio}} graze.

Natu begins giving each person flashbacks of their past starting with Barry's first encounter with his Heracross, Dawn's first day of her journey, and when Ash got attacked by Spearow.

==Trivia==
* [[Professor Oak's lecture|Professor Oak's Pokémon lecture]]: {{p|Castform}}.
** Professor Oak's lecture returns after a 10 episode hiatus. Interestingly, it returns [[DP139|one episode after]] [[Professor Oak]] makes an appearance in the anime.
* Palmer makes his debut appearance exactly 100 episodes after [[Cynthia]] made [[DP040|hers]]. Coincidentally, they both made cameos in ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'', and they shared the same battle music in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}.
* This is the first episode featuring {{an|Barry}} where his {{TP|Barry|Empoleon}} does not appear.
* Interestingly, this episode aired the same week that ''[[DP122|Stopped in the Name of Love!]]'' aired in America. Both episodes had a scene where Dawn and Piplup had to deal with a group of Ariados, which also occurred in ''[[DP001|Following a Maiden's Voyage!]]'', when Dawn and Piplup became friends.
* The dub title of this episode is a play on {{wp|The Beatles}} song and album, "{{wp|Magical Mystery Tour}}".
* During the flashback of when Barry caught his Heracross, he was wearing a straw hat. In a flashback on ''[[EP269|The Ties that Bind]]'', Ash was wearing a similar straw hat. Coincidentally, in both flashbacks, both Ash and Barry were beginning Pokémon Trainers, and trying to catch Pokémon (Ash was fishing, and Barry was putting [[honey]] on a tree).

===Errors===
[[File:NidoqueenError.png|thumb|Nidoqueen's lower jaw]]
[[Image:DP140_Error.png|thumb|220px|right|Dawn's missing yellow hairclip]]
* Nidoqueen's lower jaw is colored blue instead of cream.
* In one scene, the Poké Ball symbol on Dawn's hat is darker than it should be.
* In that same scene, one of Dawn's yellow hair clips is missing.

==Synopsis==
As the day comes to a close, {{Ash}}, {{an|Dawn}}, and {{an|Barry}} walk with {{FB|Tower Tycoon|Palmer}} along the path lined with stands. The vendors eagerly talk to him as Ash notices how famous Palmer is. He runs to the center of the road and brings out his {{p|Dragonite}} for a little demonstration. {{an|Brock}} shows up as Barry informs him who Palmer is. When Ash hears that Palmer was one of the top {{pkmn|Trainer}}s in {{to|Twinleaf}}, Ash challenges him to a {{pkmn|battle}}, but {{an|Dawn}} and Barry are both eager to as well. Barry tells them about the upcoming tournament, where the winner will get the opportunity to battle Palmer. Barry also tells them the critical piece that Palmer is a [[Frontier Brain]] for the [[Sinnoh]] {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|IV}}, leader of the {{si|Battle Tower}} and known as the Tower Tycoon. After Palmer confirms the tournament for the next day, Ash looks forward to it, confident that he will win. At Dawn's house, Dawn cooks with [[Johanna|her mother]] as they talk about how famous Palmer is and how they plan to battle. Brock intends to enter the tournament as well, but when he turns to {{TP|Brock|Croagunk}}, he finds {{cat|Brock's Pokémon|his Pokémon}} admiring a [[Gender|female]] {{p|Croagunk}} on [[television]].

The next day marks the last day of the [[Twinleaf Festival]] as Johanna hosts the battle tournament. She brings out {{TP|Johanna|Glameow}} and {{p|Umbreon}} to kick off the tournament with some sparkle. As she gets the crowd excited, she is prepared to introduce Palmer, but he is nowhere in sight. Instead, he is at [[Team Rocket]]'s booth, muching on their food. Ash and his friends seek out Palmer as they find him eating. Palmer doesn't seem to concerned at first, but when Johanna calls out over the loudspeakers, he panics and gives Ash a box of food before running to the field, followed by the rest. The tournament is back on track as Johanna introduces Palmer, who's ready to witness fierce battles and find the person worthy of challenging him, getting the crowd fired up. The battle rules are set as people will duel one-on-one, working up a ladder until a winner is found. The competitive spirit between Ash, Dawn, Brock and Barry gets going as Johanna mentions that the winner will get a gold trophy. The judge is [[Sayer]], who oversees the tournament. Many battles quickly pan on screen as the timeline jumps to the final match, with Ash and Barry going at it. Ultimately, {{AP|Pikachu}} bests {{TP|Barry|Empoleon}} as Ash wins the battle tournament, upsetting both Dawn and Barry.

As the exhibition match gets underway, Johanna introduces Ash to the crowd, getting a good review. Palmer looks forward to battling Ash as he sends out {{p|Rhyperior}}. The {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}'s sheer size surprises Ash as he checks with his [[Pokédex]]. Palmer informs Ash that no Trainer has bested his Rhyperior. After analyzing Rhyperior's [[Elemental type]]s, he first believes that {{stat|speed}} will prevail, but based on previous [[gym]] battles, he knows Palmer will be ready for that. Ash decides to summon {{AP|Grotle}} to the field, as the {{t|Grass|type advantage}} is logical and to match up Rhyperior's strength with Grotle's strength and defense. Dawn thought {{AP|Buizel}} would be better as Barry frowns on Ash underestimating his father. Sayer quickly reconfirms the battle rules as a one-on-one with no substitutions, and as the challenger, Ash goes first. Grotle immediately fires {{m|Energy Ball}}, as Rhyperior stands firm and takes it without so much as a scratch thanks to {{a|Solid Rock}}. Though Palmer compliments Ash on Grotle's strength, he orders Rhyperior to use {{m|Rock Polish}}. Grotle fires {{m|Razor Leaf}}, but Rhyperior dodges quickly, shocking everyone at how fast it moved thanks to Rock Polish. Rhyperior gets close and launches {{m|Sandstorm}}. Grotle stands firm as the attack surrounds and batters Grotle. Rhyperior launches a {{m|Rock Wrecker}}, harming Grotle even more, but Grotle stands firm. While [[Jessie]] and [[James]] watch, upsetting {{MTR}} who has to work, Ash has Grotle use {{m|Synthesis}} to heal since Rhyperior has to rest. It taps into the healing move since the sandstorm has not blocked out the sun from above. Grotle recovers and uses Razor Leaf to neutralize the Sandstorm.

Rhyperior recovers and charges with {{m|Megahorn}}. Grotle primes Energy Ball, waiting for Rhyperior to get closer. However, Rhyperior closes in too quickly and hits Energy Ball with Megahorn, forcing Grotle to swallow it. The results shock everyone as Grotle taps into a large amount of power, a green aura radiating up into the air from the bushes on its back. Dawn takes note of it, thinking it would be good in a {{pkmn|Contest}}. The green aura dissipates, but Grotle's bushes continue to glow, with energy moving through them. Though as shocked as anyone else, Palmer has Rhyperior launch Rock Wrecker as Grotle rears up and slams its {{m|Rock Climb}} claws into the ground, creating a mountain on the field from underneath Rhyperior. Grotle continues and charges forward, ascending the rock formation and dodging the attack before ramming into Rhyperior and steadily driving it back with brute strength, impressing Barry and Palmer. However, Rhyperior uses its tail to stop Grotle's charge before landing a Rock Wrecker at point-blank range, creating a huge explosion and destroying the field mountain. As the smoke clears, Rhyperior is clearly exhausted, but Grotle lies at its feet, [[Unable to battle|knocked out]]. Though somewhat disappointed with the loss, Ash takes it in stride as he compliments Grotle. Palmer presents the trophy to Ash for winning the tournament.

Later on, Barry talks to Ash about how he experienced battling Palmer, his strength apparent as Dawn sympathizes, reflecting on [[DP138|her battle]] with her mother. The thought of {{pkmn|training|raising}} Pokémon brings Ash to reflect on how [[DP132|he lost]] to [[Paul]] and how he is able to raise strong Pokémon. The music starts as Barry quickly chows down to rush and sing the last song. Dawn remembers what she saw during the battle and plans to incorporate it into her next Contest performance. Palmer walks over and suggests to Ash to go and challenge the {{ci|Sunyshore}} Gym, hinting that Ash might "shock" the [[Gym Leader|gym leader]]. Ash asks him to clarify why he would say that, but Palmer implies that when Ash gets to Sunyshore Gym, he'll understand. The next day, Ash and his friends set off from Dawn's house, bidding Johanna farewell as they head to Dawn's next Contest. Barry races past the group as he plans to get to Sunyshore City first.

{{spoilers}}
==Synopsis==
{{incomplete synopsis}}
{{an|Dawn}} and [[Jessie]] wish to enter the Contest, but Jessie gets sick. To help his friend, [[James]] disguises himself as Jessilina and takes her place. Dawn chooses to use {{TP|Dawn|Mamoswine}} in the battle round. [[Lyra (anime)|Lyra]] expresses the gang's concern in this choice, seeing as this contest held the pivotal Fifth Ribbon Dawn needed to enter the Grand Festival. Dawn feels confident in her choice however. While in the waiting room, the gang meets "Jessilina" who passes herself off well enough to avoid suspicion. The first round commences, and in a a quick set of moves, Dawn's Piplup uses {{m|Whirlpool}} and then {{m|Bide}} to leave a dazzling impression in the mind's of the judges. Jessilina uses Meowth and {{m|Fury Swipes}} to make delicious Ramen for the judges, and they are quite impressed with the showmanship and flavor of the meal. Throughout the appeal round, Brock coaches [[Khoury]] on the finer points of the Appeal round.

Backstage, Piplup appears over confident but satisfied with its win, and everyone agrees as Dawn and James secure a spot in the next round. The moment of truth occurs when Dawn faces off against a trainer wielding a {{p|Granbull}}. Mamoswine proves itself powerful when Dawn uses her newly found combo of swallowing {{m|Ice Shard}}, much to the surprise of everyone. Mamoswine gains the Ice Spikes along its back which it then couples with {{m|Hidden Power}} and {{m|Take Down}} for a quick one-hit knockout of the Granbull. This shocks Dawn, as she reveals backstage that she had been hoping to test more of Mamoswine's combos out before the match was through. {{Ash}} and {{an|Brock}} attempt to cheer her up, and make she she understands that things have certainly not gone wrong. Also, using {{TP|James|Carnivine}} to great success, James continues moving on up in the tourney. Throughout the Battle Round, Brock coaches Khoury on the mechanics of the Battle Round.

In one of the semi-final matches, James finds himself up against Dawn. Carnivine is sent out to combat Mamoswine. Dawn starts off the match with an Ice Shard, but this time, James is prepared and has Carnivine use {{m|Vine Whip}} to steal the Ice Shard before Mamoswine can eat it. This seriously shocks Mamoswine while Carnivine playfully juggles the Ice Shard. Meowth notes how James could possibly win the match. Still shocked, Mamoswine does not react in time to dodge the Ice Shard once Carnivine returns it right into the larger Pokémon's face. This makes Mamoswine angry, and then it goes into a rage, where it utilizes Take Down in an uncoordinated attempt to hit Carnivine. Carnivine proves much too swift for Mamoswine, and begins by dodging each attack made. This repeated action ends up docking Dawn points with each miss, while Dawn frantically protests and tries to bring Mamoswine under control. Time expires with Dawn's points severely depleted and with James as the victor of the match. However, Mamoswine remains unfazed...

==Major events==
* [[James]] participates in his first [[Pokémon Contest]].
* {{an|Dawn}}'s {{TP|Dawn|Mamoswine}} is also entered for the first time in a contest.
* Dawn is knocked out of the Contest in the semi-final, and suffers her first loss to "Jessilina."
* James wins the Lilypad Contest, earning [[Jessie]] her third ribbon.

* With the exception of those owned by main characters, all of the Pokémon that are seen to be entered in the {{to|Lilypad}} {{pkmn|Contest}} were introduced in [[Generation II]].
* Instead of Professor Oak's Lecture, a preview of the Team Galactic finale was shown, which was revealed to be airing in November 2009 in Japan.
* This is the first episode since ''[[DP091|One Team, Two Team, Red Team, Blue Team!]]'' to have {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} returned to his [[Poké Ball]] for a period of time.
* This marks the first time Dawn's whole team did not cheer for her in a Contest.
* James's win of the Lilypad Contest marks the first time a main character participated in a Pokémon Contest and won it on their first try.
* In addition, it also marks the first time James has cross-dressed in the {{series|Diamond and Pearl}}, something that used to be a frequent running gag for him.
* This episode's English title is most likely based on the phrase ''dressed for success''.
* Similar to ''[[DP142|Where No Togepi Has Gone Before!]]'', no dub added music was present within the episode, including the title card music.

==Synopsis==

Still in [[Lilypad Town]], {{ashfr|the gang}} pay a visit to the Lilypad Colosseum where past [[Sinnoh]] Champions have battle. {{Ash}} and {{an|Dawn}} plan to have a [[tag battle]] against {{an|Lyra}} and [[Khoury]] before the two leave to return to [[Johto]], however their plans are rudely interrupted by [[Team Rocket]] who successfully snag {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} using a new {{p|Drapion}} robot. Their escape leaves only a tunnel away from the area, and Ash sends {{AP|Monferno}} to follow them underground while the five humans follow the tunnel from above.

While Pikachu and Piplup try unsuccessfully to break out of the robot's belly, Meowth finds Monferno on their tail and deploys a second Drapion robot to trick the Flame Pokémon. Sure enough, Monferno can't decide which tunnel to follow, and digs out of the tunnel at the junction. When Ash and Co. arrive, they also notice the dilemma, and split up, sending Ash and Dawn to follow the branch tunnel while Brock, Khoury, and Lyra take after the main after Khoury gives Dawn his [[Pokégear]] for communication. Ash and Dawn easily catch the second robot, and it appears before them with [[Jessie]]'s, [[James]]', and {{MTR}}'s electronic voices to announce the robot's detonation in their faces. Realizing the trick, Dawn and Ash race to return to the original path.

Meanwhile, Brock and the others find the tunnel stop at the bank of a river, and face the choice of going upstream or downstream. Lyra wants to go on instinct and go downstream, but Khoury suggests a more logical approach and watches carefully as various Water Pokémon spout out of the ground. He gets an idea, and leads Brock and Lyra upstream. He explains that the Pokémon spouting from the river bank are trying to escape some danger underneath the river and that it must be Team Rocket.

At the end of the river, Team Rocket has exited their robot and shares their success by splitting their last cookie unfairly as always. Piplup and Pikachu sit nearby in a cage that's supposedly Pokémon proof on the inside and outside. Then, after Ash and Dawn get called by Lyra about which way to take, Brock and the Johto Trainers arrive at the camp where Team Rocket had stopped. Meowth uses the Drapion robot to pick the cage up, but {{AP|Staraptor}} appears from above and cuts the tail off, sending the cage flying. Staraptor proceeds to slice the cage apart as well, freeing Piplup and Pikachu. Ash and Dawn come running forward, and catch their falling Pokémon in their arms. Angry at their failure as the Drapion robot explodes, Jessie and James call {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}} and {{TP|James|Carnivine}} to the battle who have a short match with Pikachu and Piplup, who quickly send them blasting off without any more dialogue.

Back at the Colosseum, Khoury and Lyra prepare to battle Ash and Dawn with {{an|Brock}} as the referee. Ash and Dawn send out Monferno and {{TP|Dawn|Cyndaquil}} respectively, and Khoury remarks that his choice of Pokémon is easy. He sends out {{p|Totodile}} while Lyra chooses {{p|Chikorita}}, much to Khoury's amazement. Lyra notes that she has a plan. The battle commences, and the Fire Pokémon start off strong with {{m|Swift}} and {{m|Flamethrower}} which Chikorita blocks with {{m|Light Screen}}. Then, Totodile fires back with {{m|Water Gun}}, which hits Monferno squarely. Dawn has Cyndaquil follow up with another Swift, which Light Screen deflects again, this shocks Cyndaquil into loosing the flam on its back. Chikorita hits the baby Pokémon with Razor Leaf to send it down. Totodile follows up with {{m|Bite}} and takes a run at the Fire-types, while Chikorita powers up {{m|SolarBeam}}. Monferno, at Ash's orders, picks up Cyndaquil and allows the smaller Pokémon to use {{m|SmokeScreen}} which keeps Totodile from striking. However, Chikorita unleashes SolarBeam, and Totodile ducks underneath which leaves Monferno and Cyndaquil wide open, but Monferno uses Dig and allows both of them to escape the devastating attack. Monferno digs underneath Totodile and strikes the Water Pokémon back to Khoury's feet. Cyndaquil appears out of the hole and uses Swift on Chikorita, sending the Grass-type to Lyra's feet.

Both Pokémon rise, and then, Totodile evolves into {{p|Croconaw}}. The Pokédex entry states that Croconaw can use {{m|Superpower}} and {{m|Hydro Pump}} among other moves. Khoury does just that with Croconaw, and hits both Fire-types with the powerful Water move. However, they do not yet faint, and instead send a combo at Chikorita as it attempts a {{m|Tackle}}. Cyndaquil uses Flame Wheel while Monferno thrusts it forward with Flamethrower to hit Chikorita and deal out one KO. Then, Monferno knocks out Croconaw with {{m|Mach Punch}} to conclude the battle.

After the battle, the group has lunch together. During their break, Khoury raves about how awesome he thought Lyra's strategies were. Lyra then asks if he would like to go on a journey together. Khoury is surprised that she would ask, but when she asks if he doesn't want to, Khoury tells her he would be glad to travel with her. Khoury's dad calls him on his [[Pokégear]] to say that their flight back to Johto will be leaving any minute. The group hurries to the airport, with Khoury's dad giving Brock a Pokégear as a parting gift. Lyra, Khoury and Khoury's dad board a blimp and return to Johto.

==Major events==

* Khoury's {{p|Totodile}} evolves into a {{p|Croconaw}} and learns {{m|Hydro Pump}}.
* [[Khoury's father]] gives {{an|Brock}} a [[Pokégear]].

==Trivia==
[[File:WhitneyMortyFlashback.png|thumb|240px|right|Whitney and Morty]]
* [[Whitney]] and [[Morty]] appear in this episode in their [[Generation II]] designs, rather than their [[Generation IV]] designs. This is due to them appearing in a flashback, rather than appearing on TV, like [[Clair]] did in ''[[DP143|An Egg Scramble!]]''.
* The dub title is based on the military concept of {{wp|Body Bag|bagging}} and {{wp|Toe tag|tagging}}.
* The Lilypad Colosseum is heavily based on the {{wp|Colosseum}} in Rome, in history and looks.

==Synopsis==
Still on the way to [[Sunyshore City]] so {{Ash}} can battle for his eighth and final [[Gym Badge]], {{ashfr|the gang}} find themselves lost in a deep forest, they saw a Murkrow up in a tree then flies above their heads, this makes Brock and Dawn worry that something bad may happen as it is told in an old saying thats about Murkrow. Suddenly, they felt the ground shaking and they surprisingly saw {{p|Giratina}}, before Ash attempts to look up Giratina's data in his Pokédex, Giratina tried to step into them. They escape the Giratina but they are caught up in a flood of rushing water, a woman rescues and wakes them up, they are told that they were caught up in an illusion caused by a Murkrow's {{m|Confuse Ray}}, Brock flirts at the woman only to be stopped by Croagunk. Ash and co. introduced themselves and the woman's name was revealed to be [[Rhyanna]], she lives in the nearby village and told them that Murkrow was her brother's Pokémon, the reason why she'd know that they are seeing illusions.

They start to talk about Rhyanna's brother, she told them that her brother's name was [[Mitchell]] and they used to battle together, Mitchell wants to become stronger so he trained his Murkrow in a mountain, that's when he began play pranks on the travellers. Ash and Dawn ask why she didn't put a stop to this, or talk to her brother, Rhyanna told them that she was being avoided by her younger brother that's why she's looking so hard for a [[Dusk Stone]] to evolve her {{p|Misdreavus}} into a {{p|Mismagius}}, believing from her grandpa that it can chant spells that can bring people happiness, she was planning to use it on Mitchell so that she and her brother can make up. Brock decides to help Rhyanna and promised to do everything he can to make her happy. At a distance, Team Rocket was eavesdropping on their conversation, James took out their new gadget, a Dusk Stone detection device, they begin to search for a Dusk Stone, hoping to find their own happiness. Rhyanna takes our heroes to a shrine, according to her grandpa, people used to mine Dusk Stones somewhere nearby the shrine, she once tried to look for a Dusk Stone before but with no success. Ash and co. decide to help Rhyanna in her search this time, the four split up into two teams with Ash and Dawn, Rhyanna and Brock, Brock suggests that maybe her Misdreavus can find it, since they were the only ones that evolve via Dusk Stone so she took out her Misdreavus. Misdreavus searches and seems to sense something. As Ash and Dawn continue they're search, the same Murkrow suddenly appears and starts pecking Piplup's head, Ash commands Pikachu to use Thunderbolt on it so that they can capture it, Murkrow couldn't dodge the hit and Mitchell came running back to it, Mitchell told them that his sister doesn't care for him but Dawn instantly disagrees to what Mitchell says, and explains that his sister was even trying to find a Dusk Stone just to make him happy, which makes him reconsider. As Brock and Rhyanna follow Misdreavus, meanwhile Team Rocket's detection device lead them to falling off of a cliff, they find a mysterious cave and believe there maybe Dusk Stone's inside of it, they have a quick fantasy about giving a Mismagius to their boss and in turn realize in order to have a Mismagius, they should also have to catch a Misdreavus. Suddenly, they caught sight of Rhyanna's Misdreavus just before Rhyanna and Brock themselves falls off the same cliff. Ash and Dawn are chasing Mitchell. when Ash finally caught up to him, Mitchell says he wants to get the dusk stone before his sister does, he explains to Ash and Dawn that he wants to become stronger so that he could beat his sister, so he trained up in a mountain with Murkrow, though when training, Murkrow was disappointed at him for not doing well at the training, so Murkrow stopped listening into anything Mitchell told it, Ash and Dawn realize Mitchell has nothing to do with any of Murkrow's pranks, Mitchell keeps blaming his sister for this, Dawn told him to look at how his Pokémon feels, Ash, feeling the same way, also told Mitchell to work with Murkrow as a team and start listening Murkrow's feelings instead of his own. Mitchell felt sorry for his Murkrow, and his tears woke it back up. Rhyanna and Brock finally wake up and find themselves in a place where her Grandfather used to mine for dusk stones, Misdreavus detects something below a large rock, and when Brock removes the rock, they find themselves a dusk stone. Rhyanna cheerfully embraces and thanks Brock for his hard work, while Brock is thrilled and blood-red, Team Rocket suddenly appears and catches Misdreavus, reciting their motto after wards, Brock quickly sends out his [[Brock's Sudowoodo|Sudowoodo]] and commands it to save Rhyanna's Misdreavus, Meowth pulls out a remote that controls a Pidgey robot, Ash, Dawn and Mitchell saw the robot fly above their heads and rushed to where Team Rocket were, Meowth throws Misdreavus into a cage located in the Pidgey robot's chest, Team Rocket attempt to escape in their giant robot, Brock commands Sudowoodo to use {{m|Double-Edge}}, Meowth sends out a fan that blows away Sudowoodo, Brock commanded it again to use Double-Edge at the robot, The Pidgey robot sends out a broom, twirling it and using Sand-Attack to stop Sudowoodo, the robot then fired its right wing to Sudowoodo, which knocks it unconscious, Brock returns Sudowoodo. A robotic hand tries to snatch away Rhyanna's Dusk Stone, Rhyanna doesn't want to let go, the robot then flies up into the air with her still attached. Ash and Dawn, with Mitchell see this, Mitchell realizes that he was wrong about his sister after seeing her determination, Pikuchu was ready to use Thunderbolt but stopped by Ash, Ash took out his {{AP|Staraptor}} and commanded it to help Rhyanna, Mitchell sends out his Murkrow to help her too, Murkrow followed him after Mitchell begs it to return its trust to him again. Staraptor got Rhyanna's shoulders with Murkrow using {{m|Peck}} on the robotic hand that got Rhyanna's dusk stone. The robotic hand broke off and Rhyanna got her Dusk Stone back, Staraptor safely landed with Rhyanna but Team Rocket still has Misdreavus, Mitchell commanded Murkrow to get it back and successfully returns Misdreavus with no trouble, Ash commands Pikachu to use {{m|Thunderbolt}} which blasted Team Rocket again.

Mitchell and Rhyanna were once again reunited and were happy to see each other, Rhyanna told him that she doesn't need to evolve her Misdreavus because Mitchell doesn't need to have a happiness spell anymore. Mitchell then challenges Rhyanna and says that whoever wins the most battles out of ten gets the stone, Rhyanna happily accepts the challenge. A little help from Ash and co. settles the disagreement once and for all, and now that Ash has drawn a training inspiration from new friends, the journey continues...

'''Sticking With Who You Know!''' (Japanese: '''ピカチュウポッチャマくっつかないで！！''' ''Pikachu, {{tt|Pochama|Piplup}}, Keep Apart!!'') is the 149th episode of the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}, and the 615th episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It first aired in Japan on October 29, 2009 and in the United States on March 20, 2010.
{{spoilers}}
==Synopsis==
{{Ash}} and {{ashfr|his friends}} stop in a large town, deciding to go to the local [[Pokémon Center]]. When they get there, {{an|Brock}} is strung out on [[Nurse Joy]] as usual before {{TP|Brock|Croagunk}} pulls him away. Ash heads outside to train with {{AP|Pikachu}}, but as {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} follows, he runs into Pikachu and they both fall, Pikachu shocking Piplup out of reflex. Piplup gets angry and berates Pikachu. Suddenly, both {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} are overcome with attraction as they rush each other and embrace.

Right away, Ash and his friends know something is amiss as Piplup and Pikachu continue to hug. At a nearby building, a scientist works nostop, the room strewn with research materials as he works nonstop on a generator. [[Team Rocket]] works on tidying the area, as they were hired by the professor, named [[Professor Kodama|Kodama]], since they don't have a task. [[James]] and {{MTR}} make up an excuse to leave the building, leaving [[Jessie]] to clean up the strewn paper notes. Nearby, a {{p|Magnemite}} and {{p|Quagsire}} stare angrily at each other.

Meanwhile, Ash and {{an|Dawn}}'s efforts to talk to their Pokémon fail. Ash decides to try and pull them apart, so he and Dawn grab their Pokémon and struggle to pull them apart, but the two seem stuck together. Ash manages to pull Pikachu away by a little, but Pikachu suddenly shocks everyone. Piplup gets hurt too, but he recovers and they go back to hugging again. Brock suggests that Dawn should recall Piplup, so she brings him back into his [[Poké Ball]]. Pikachu falls over, his body still posed. Piplup comes out of his Poké Ball and the two return to hugging. Ash and Dawn try to separate them again, but this time Brock suggests to split them and face them away from each other, identifying it as the situation being similar to a magnet, suggesting that having them face away could create a repulsion. It appears to work at first, but they spin back around and hug again. They decide to go to Nurse Joy and as they head inside, Meowth and James notice and decide to watch.

Inside the Center, they find out that other Pokémon have been affected just like Pikachu and Piplup. Brock notices that all the affected Pokémon are in a pair, with one {{type2|Water}} and one {{type2|Electric}}. Nurse Joy mentions that none of the other Pokémon in the center have been affected. Meowth listens in and concludes that Professor Kodama's experiment must be responsible, so he takes James back to the lab. When they return, they find the professor still hard at work. When Meowth asks the professor about his experiment, Kodama reveals that his invention is dubbed the Affinity-Enabler, which broadcasts a form of {{m|Attract}} over an antenna and causes Pokémon to cease any rivalry and become attracted, regardless of gender, but it seems to fail on his test subjects. It doesn't help that the two Pokémon have hated each other for some time. The two battle and cause destruction, but only Kodama's orders cause a ceasefire. Trying to help, he increases the machine's power, which causes the Pokémon at the Center to get even closer and hug more intently.

Brock notices that the two types are opposites and that the situation cannot possibly be natural, being more forced. Kodama continues his work while Meowth suggests that they steal the machine based on what Meowth and James saw earlier. Meowth suggests that they could use it to make Pikachu friendly towards Meowth so they can present it to Giovanni. Another scuffle between Magnemite and Quagsire accidentally hits the machine's lever, shutting the machine off. The effects stop immediately at the Center, making the Pokémon go back to normal. However, Kodama pulls the switch again, reversing the effect. A nearby {{pkmn|Trainer}} mentions that his {{p|Raichu}} never got along with the {{p|Squirtle}} it is attracted to now. Brock believes that the person creating the effect may have a similar situation with two Pokémon hating each other. Joy mentions Professor Kodama and that he has a lab nearby, wanting to make his Pokémon get along, everything clicking into place.

Joy leads them to Kodama's lab as Ash informs him of the situation. Kodama knows that his experiment was indeed successful as he fills them in on his research. Jessie and James try to get Ash and his friends to leave before they break the disguise, Meowth playing with the machine to try and get their attention. However, Kodama spots them and unintentionally breaks their disguise. After reciting their [[Team Rocket mottos|motto]], Meowth triggers their balloon and proceeds to steal the machine. Kodama grabs ahold as Team Rocket tries to escape with Ash and his friends in hot pursuit. Kodama hits the switch a couple of times on the machine, flickering the effects. Meowth grabs Pikachu and Piplup with a mecha arm. Quagsire and Magnemite show up and work together, Quagsire launching Magnemite to the balloon. Kodama rides on Magnemite as it shocks the machine, breaking the ropes and causing it to fall, breaking on impact and eliminating the effect. Quagsire uses Water Gun to break Kodama's fall and bring them to safety. It then appears that Magnemite and Quagsire never really hated each other. Ash sends Staraptor to retrieve Pikachu and Piplup, bringing them to safety. Jessie and James prepare to battle, but Pikachu's {{m|Thunderbolt}} and Piplup's {{m|BubbleBeam}} send them blasting off before they can summon any Pokémon. Back at the Center, the Trainers happily leave, with their Pokémon in good shape. Brock mentions to Kodama that since Magnemite and Quagsire were dual-type Pokémon, the machine may not have worked. As Kodama prepares to return to his work, Ash and his friends set off.

==Trivia==

*This was the first episode after the release of HeartGold and SoulSilver in the United States.
*The English dub title for this episode is based off the phrase: "Sticking with what you know."
*This episode was aired in the USA letterboxed (16:9 on a 4:3 screen) for standard-definition viewers. This is probably due to Cartoon Network stopping their cropping practices sometime after the initial dub airing of the previous episode, as other 16:9 shows on the network which had been cropped for standard-definition viewers, including some episodes of the Pokémon anime which had initially been presented cropped, switched to letterboxed presentation sometime during the week prior to this episode's initial dub airing.
*The original English dub title was announced as ''Sticking With You Know Who!'' but was later changed.

{{spoilers}}
==Synopsis==
The episode starts with a Galactic grunt being attacked by {{p|Golbat}}. Then, a {{p|Skuntank}} and [[Jupiter]] appeared. The grunt took off his mask, revealing to be [[Looker]]. After Skuntank was about to use {{m|Slash}}, there was an explosion. Then, the screen shows [[Floaroma Town]] where [[Forsythia]] and her {{p|Roserade}} and {{p|Lotad}} watering flowers. In the [[Pokémon Center]], the gang are watching television, learning that the next Pokémon contest will be held in [[Daybreak Town]], under a Double Performance. Ash and the gang was on [[Route 205]], then {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} saw something in the flowers. They saw that it was {{MTR}}.

Meowth told them what had happened while Brock heals him with [[Potion]]. [[Team Rocket]] was walking, feeling hungry, when they saw [[Team Galactic]]'s helicopter. They chased after it and arrived at a factory, the [[Fuego Ironworks]]. Brock checked on his [[Pokégear]]. Team Rocket climbed a ladder and saw Jupiter and a man. Ash and the gang realized that it is Looker. Then, it shows the things earlier and Skuntank about to use {{m|Slash}}. A {{m|Vine Whip}} stopped its attack. It was James's {{TP|James|Carnivine}}! Skuntank managed to break free and Jupiter commands the Golbat to attack. That was when the explosion occurred. Jupiter's Skuntank attacked Jessie and James while Golbat attacked Meowth. Then, Meowth was blast off. After bandaging Meowth, it went away. Piplup and Pikachu caught up with him but Meowth wants to use {{m|Scratch}} at them. Then, Meowth cried.

Back at the [[Fuego Ironworks]], [[Jessie]], [[James]] and [[Looker]] was caught inside of a room. Jessie saw something on the floor outside the room. It was Jupiter's Skuntank. It looked away after looking at Jessie. Then, Jessie wants to attack it but as she was about to touch the door, Looker warned her but Jessie was soon shocked by electricity. Looker tells Team Rocket that Team Galactic has been secretly using Fuego Ironworks to make something. Meanwhile at [[Mt. Coronet]], [[Saturn]]'s {{p|Toxicroak}} uses {{m|Rock Smash}} to break down a part of the mountain, revealing a huge, silvery spherical object. The Spear Key reacts to the object, confirming to them that they've finally found the Gateway to Spear Pillar. The scene then cuts to Jupiter and [[Charon]] talking about and receiving new orders to deliver the [[Red Chain]]. A Team Galactic Grunt then informs Jupiter and Charon that an unidentified flying object has been detected near the Factory perimeter which turns out to be Ash, Dawn, Brock, Pikachu, Piplup, and Meowth approaching Fuego Ironworks in Meowth's Balloon. Upon being confronted by a group of Golbat, Ash's Pikachu, riding on {{AP|Staraptor}}, and Dawn's {{TP|Dawn|Pachirisu}}, riding on Ash's {{AP|Gliscor}}, take them out with Thunderbolt and Discharge.

They land on top of a building where Jupiter and Skuntank meet them. Jupiter orders Skuntank to use {{m|Flamethrower}}. Piplup counters with {{m|BubbleBeam}}. Jupiter asks Ash, Dawn and Brock to join Team Galactic. They refuse. Meowth asks about Jessie and James and Ash asks where Looker is. Jupiter doesn't give them any information but says to Dawn, "Oh, {{p|Mesprit}}", To Ash she says, "{{p|Azelf}}," and to Brock she says, "{{p|Uxie}}." Cut to Flashbacks at [[Lake Verity]], [[Lake Valor]], and [[Lake Acuity]]. "Why did it have to be you. I'm talking about the Lake Trio of course. Why is it that they chose you. We were the ones who were supposed to have synchronized with the Lake Trio." Then a group of Golbat use {{m|Air Cutter}} on Pikachu and Staraptor. Pikachu counters with {{m|Thunderbolt}} Meowth uses {{m|Fury Swipes}}. and Skuntank uses Flamethower, Piplup uses BubbleBeam. Gliscor and Pacirisu land behind Jupiter and Skuntank and Pikachu and Staraptor land on the side. Jupiter Orders a {{m|Toxic}} and they escape in the Helicopter. They then look around the Fuego Ironworks for Team Rocket and Looker. In the helicopter Jupiter asks about the Red Chain. Charon assures her it's safe. In the cell Looker comments on how quiet it is outside. Jessie and James say there hungry but Looker quiets them. Ash and Co. run down a hall and Looker calls to Ash. Meowth asks where his peeps are and Jessie and James grab the bars and are shocked. Piplup and Pikachu use BubbleBeam and Thunderbolt on the door and it breaks.

Looker thanks them and Team Rocket reunite then leave. Then Looker, Ash, Dawn, Brock, Pikachu, and Piplup explore the Feugo Ironworks. They come to the place where the [[Red Chain]] was and find a shard. Meanwhile, Team Rocket is flying toward [[Mt. Coronet]] At the Police Station a machine examines the shard and transmits the data to International Police HQ. But within a few seconds the shard glows and the computer display shows a Charon smiley followed by an explosion. The shard turned out to be some sort of Bomb as they receive a call from the International Police informing them that their entire database had been wiped out during the analysis. Looker departs from the station infuriated by the setback and the scene cuts to Team Galactic on their way to Spear Pillar with the Adamant Orb, Lustrous Orb, and Red Chain in their possession. Cyrus then contacts [[Hunter J]] with new orders: "Sorry to keep you waiting. Proceed in Capturing the Lake Trio." Narrator, "As Team Galactic's evil plans begin to unfold, What will become of Ash, Dawn, and Brock? Stay tuned to find out."

* This is the first time that {{p|Mesprit}}, {{p|Azelf}}, and {{p|Uxie}} appear in their physical forms. They previously appeared as projected souls in ''[[DP001|Following a Maiden's Voyage!]]'', ''[[DP078|Pruning a Passel of Pals!]]'', and ''[[DP133|Uncrushing Defeat!]]'' respectively.
* The title card is read by {{Ash}}, {{an|Dawn}} and {{an|Brock}}.
* In this episode, J used a Galactic Bomb on [[Lake Valor]], which is what Saturn did in the games. It is currently unknown if Hunter J survived after her ship exploded.
* The background music ''Darkrai: From Within the Shadows'' from the [[Dialga vs. Palkia vs. Darkrai Music Collection|tenth]] [[M10|movie]] is used in this episode.
* Despite sharing the same name in both Japanese and English, {{p|Uxie}} has two different voice actors for both languages.
*[[J]] and [[J's henchmen|her subordinates]] are supposedly killed in this episode when her ship crashes into the lake. If they were, then this is the second time (or first if the movies aren't counted) where human characters are killed on-screen in the Pokémon anime (the first being [[Dr. Fuji]] and the scientists of New Island).
*Music from ''[[M04|Celebi: Voice of the Forest]]'', ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'', and ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'' is played during this episode.

The [[Pokémon]] franchise first reached '''{{wp|Latin America}}''' in an article that was published and appeared on the cover of the October issue of the '''Club Nintendo''' magazine in 1998<ref>[http://www.clubnintendomx.com/principal/cn_historia/1998.html Portadas de Club Nintendo - 1998] (in Spanish)</ref> and with the release of [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions]] in English and Spanish in the same month.<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20000301213009/www.nintendo.com.mx/lanza/pokemonest/pokemonest.html Pokémon Azul/Pokémon Rojo] (in Spanish)</ref> The [[Pokémon anime]] followed after with the first broadcast of ''[[EP001|Pokémon, ¡Yo te elijo!]]'' in {{wp|American Spanish|Latin American Spanish}} on {{wp|Cartoon Network (Latin America)|Cartoon Network Latinoamérica}} on September 6th, 1999.

'''¡Atrápalos ya!''' is the Latin American Spanish slogan of the Pokémon video games. The slogan is often referenced throughout the Pokémon [[canon]], much like the English slogan "[[Gotta catch 'em all!]]" is.

==Pokémon video games==
All of the [[main series]] Pokémon games have been released in Latin American countries, but only [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions]] were available in the Spanish language.<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20000303220943/www.nintendo.com.mx/noticias/noti5.html Pokémon Spanish] (in Spanish)</ref> All subsequent Pokémon games have only been available as imported versions of the English-language North American releases. Most of the spin-off titles (such as [[Pokémon Snap]] and {{OBP|Pokémon Stadium|English}}) have been released in Latin America as well, but like the main series Pokémon games, they are only available as English-language imports.

===Commercials===
In the late 1990s, [[Nintendo]] aired many commercials in Latin America for video games such as {{smw|Mario (series)|Mario}} and Pokémon. These commercials are not unique to Latin America, they are simply Spanish-dubbed versions of the commercials aired in the United States. However, due to the rise of video game {{wp|copyright infringement|piracy}}, Nintendo has decided not to invest much money in promoting their franchises in Latin America. This may be a reason why few recent games receive Spanish releases in Latin America. Despite this, Spanish commercials for Pokémon games still appear on cable networks such as Cartoon Network and Nickelodeon.<ref>Commercials of [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-IzUsLkUtxw Pokémon Yellow], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8HFRndmHzko Pokémon Stadium], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eciqyMWbOPE Pokémon Gold and Silver], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SxOSJ4_pMf0 Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team], [[Pokémon Platinum]] ([http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=spoIj9lBnpM first] and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TeO5aDqilW8 second]) and [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver]] ([http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mGQ7hJzHS0A first], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m65P_7Qy55o second] and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MPlZLHZ1ihU third] commercial) in Spanish</ref>

==={{pkmn2|Event}}s===
Local events rarely occur in Latin American countries, particularly in a single country exclusively. The events are usually announced on the [[Pokémon.com]] website but in recent months, the events held only in some countries are announced on the web sites of the video game stores hosting the events.

Since 2009, the events made by Nintendo through [[Mystery Gift]] for North America have also been available for Latin American countries, as they receive the same import versions in English. The distribution of local Pokémon events has only been in the countries of Mexico and Chile in 2010.

This is a general list of events and what has been distributed in Latin America from 2009-present.

===On Cartoon Network===
[[File:CartoonNetwork.png|thumb|right|170px|Cartoon Network logo]]
Cartoon Network is one of the most popular children's television channels in Latin America due to its original productions such as ''{{wp|Cartoon Cartoons}}'' as well as international acquisitions like ''{{wp|Dragon Ball}}'', ''{{wp|Naruto}}'', ''{{wp|Inuyasha}}'' and other anime series, including Pokémon. Since Pokémon debuted on September 6, 1999, it has become one of the most popular shows on Cartoon Network.

Cartoon Network has aired every episode and season of the anime that has been dubbed into Spanish, including [[Pokémon Chronicles]] and all the movies except for [[M04|4]], [[M05|5]], [[M06|6]] and [[M07|7]].

With the premiere of each season, the channel performs special promotions such as marathons of older episodes and, in years past, contests and other events. In December of 2002, to commemorate the premiere of ''[[Pokémon: Master Quest]]'' on January 1, 2003, the channel held a contest called "{{tt|Los Elegidos Pokémon|Choose the Pokémon}}". To participate, viewers would vote for their favorite episodes on Cartoon Network's website, the most popular of which would be aired in a marathon on December 31, 2002.<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20030207023701/http://www.cartoonnetworkla.com/spanish/promos/pokemon/ Los Elegidos Pokémon - Cartoon Network archive] (in Spanish)</ref>

=== Dubbing ===
The Latin American dub of the Pokémon anime is recorded and produced in Mexico. The series has been dubbed by three different companies. Originally, dubbing production was conducted by the company '''Audiomaster 3000''' of {{wp|Televisa}}, which dubbed the series from the [[Pokémon: Indigo League|first season]] until the first episodes of ''[[Pokémon: Advanced Challenge]]''. Audiomaster 3000 went out of business in 2005, leaving the [[Pokémon: Advanced Challenge|seventh season]] incomplete. Thus, the series was rushed to '''Candiani Studios''', which dubbed the series until mid-2009. On September 26, 2009, '''AF The Dubbing House''' confirmed on their [http://twitter.com/dubbinghouse Twitter] that they would start dubbing ''[[Pokémon Diamond & Pearl: Galactic Battles]]'', indicating that they are now the current dubbing company for the series.

The Latin American dub is based on the English dubs by [[4Kids Entertainment]] and [[The Pokémon Company International]], retaining all of their character names, Pokémon names, and any cuts or alterations present in the English dub. 4Kids entirely distributed their dub, but currently, TPCI only licenses the dub while {{wp|Televix}} is responsible for distributing the series in the Latin American market.

====Movies====
Most of the movies were dubbed in Mexico, except for ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]'' and ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'', which were dubbed in Argentina with an entirely different voice cast. The movies ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'' and ''[[M03|Spell of the Unown]]'' were licensed and distributed by {{wp|Warner Brothers}}. ''[[M04|Celebi: Voice of the Forest]]'', ''[[M05|Pokémon Heroes]]'' (dubbed in Mexico), ''Jirachi Wish Maker'' and ''Destiny Deoxys'' (dubbed in Argentina) were licensed by [[The Walt Disney Company]]. From the [[M08|eighth movie]] onward, [http://pokeguia.com/Televix_Entertainment Televix Entertainment] has been responsible for licensing and distributing the Pokémon movies in Latin America.

====Cast and crew====
Many different voice actors have worked on the dubbing of Pokémon in Latin America.

[[File:Gabo ramos.jpg|thumb|right|190px|Gabriel Ramos]]
'''Gabriel Ramos''' (born September 18, 1986) was chosen by the Nintendo authority in charge of the dubbing in Mexico at that time and so, he provided the voice of [[Ash Ketchum]] from [[EP001]] until [[DP090]]. He then quit voice acting due to commitments to the Latin American {{wp|MTV}}, where he works as a VJ. From [[DP091]]-[[DP104]], he was replaced by '''Irwin Daayán'''. Ramos has since returned to dub Ash starting from [[DP105]]. Although Ramos currently resides in {{wp|Argentina}}, he is able to record Ash's voice at a recording studio called '''Sonar Studio''' and sends the recordings over the internet to the dubbing company in Mexico. Other series Ramos has dubbed for include {{wp|Ippo Makunouchi}} in {{wp|Fighting Spirit (manga)|Fighting Spirit}}, MegaMan.EXE in {{wp|MegaMan NT Warrior}}, Remi in the redub of {{wp|Nobody's Boy: Remi}} and Gerald (second voice) in {{wp|Hey Arnold!}}.

He was replaced by '''Alan Prieto''', who has provided Brock's voice from [[DP021]] onward.

May's younger brother, [[Max]], is voiced by '''Diego Ángeles'''. In ''[[M05|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]'' and ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'', Max was voiced by another voice actor, because of these movies being dubbed in Argentina with a different cast.

[[File:Para Ser Un Maestro!.jpg|thumb|right|150px|Cover of ''Pokémon: Para Ser Un Maestro!'']]

===Music===
All of the theme songs used in the Latin American dub are translated versions of the songs from the English dub.

Three Pokémon soundtracks have been released in Latin America. The first, ''Pokémon: {{tt|¡Para Ser Un Maestro!''|To Be A Master!}}, is a Spanish translation of ''[[Pokémon 2.B.A. Master]]''. This soundtrack included a bonus video of the [[Kanto Pokérap|Pokérap]] that could be played on a computer.

A translated version of ''[[Totally Pokémon]]'' was released as well, entitled ''Pokémon: The Johto Journeys''. This album did not contain any of the karaoke songs from the English release, but it did include an extra song, ''Pokémon Johto 2''.

The soundtrack to ''{{OBP|Pokémon the First Movie|soundtrack}}'' was also released in Latin America. This Latin American version contained all the same songs as the English North American release, but with an added bonus track: ''[[Pokémon Theme]]'' performed in Spanish by Álvaro Véliz.

==Pokémon Trading Card Game==
Both English- and Spanish-language cards for the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] are sold in Latin America. Spanish-language cards are recognized as tournament legal for {{TCG|Pokémon Organized Play}}.

==[[Pokémon merchandise]]==
During the height of Pokémon's popularity in the late 1990s and early 2000s, a great number of collectibles and other merchandise based on the Pokémon franchise was available in Latin American countries, including sticker albums, postcards, plush toys, and figurines.

Books from the [[Pokémon anime novelization series]] such as [[I Choose You!]], {{book|Island of the Giant Pokémon}}, and {{book|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon}} have been serialized and translated into Spanish by [[wp:es:Norma Editorial|Norma Editorial]] in several countries of Latin America.

[[Pokémon Tazos]], collectible discs which resemble {{wp|Pogs}}, were available in bags of {{wp|Frito-Lay}} chips. These Tazos, which have featured other franchises besides Pokémon, grew in popularity to a level greater than or equal to the early popularity of the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] in North America.

[[File:Album Pokemon Evoluciones.jpg|thumb|right|170px|Pokémon Evoluciones, the latest sticker album of Pokémon that has been published in the country of Peru]]
The {{tt|Corporación Gráfica Navarrete S.A.|Graphic Corporation Navarrete}}, based in Peru, is a company known for publishing a wide variety of Pokémon sticker albums. Stickers for these albums are sold seperately and are distributed randomly in packs. Each sticker is numbered and is intended to be glued to its assigned spot in the album. The album will often have artwork and descriptions that compliment the artwork on the stickers. These sticker albums have been published in several Latin American countries such as Peru and Mexico since the late 1990s. The most recent sticker albums are "Pokédex", which was published in 2007 and was available in Bolivia, {{pmin|Brazil}}, Mexico, Peru and Puerto Rico; and "{{tt|Pokémon Evoluciones|Pokémon Evolutions}}", was published in 2008 and was only available in Peru.<ref>[http://www.navarrete.com.pe/albumes.aspx Albumes y coleccionables - Corporación Gráfica Navarrete] (in Spanish)</ref>

[[Burger King Promotional Pokémon toys|Burger King]] has also brought a few of its Pokémon promotions to Latin America, including the recent TCG promotions.

In Argentina, {{wp|Mirinda}} soda released a [[Pokémon food products#Pokémon Mirinda|limited-edition Pokémon soft drink]]. It was the same as regular orange-flavoured Mirinda, but featured Pokémon characters on the packaging.

=== Pokémon manga ===
[[File:Mangastoukan.jpg|thumb|right|140px|Covers of Pokémon Adventures and Magical Pokémon Journey published in
Toukan Manga magazine]]

[[Pokémon Adventures]] and [[Magical Pokémon Journey]] were both translated into Spanish in Mexico by [http://toukanmanga.blogspot.com/ Toukan Manga] magazine. However, neither series was completed and all translated volumes are now out of print.

==Community==
Most of the Spanish-speaking Pokémon fandom is located in Latin America, as it is a region of countries who speak the same language with the same (or similar) accents. Usually, the fans are followers of the anime and video games because they are governed by the translations of video games (in English) and dubbing (Spanish in the anime dub) in reaching these because they are faithful and are not altered in contrast to other countries. The Latin American fandom is very active in everything that has happened since the release of the first Pokémon video games, even throughout the voice cast changes made in the dubbing of the anime.

One of the largest Spanish-language Pokémon sites is [http://pokeguia.com/Pikaflash Pikaflash]. With 10 years of existence, Pikaflash has become one of the most popular forums in Latin America because of the huge variety of discussion topics. During its early years, Pikaflash focused only on Pokémon, but over time has expanded to include other topics such as other anime dubbed in Latin America, such as Dragon Ball and InuYasha.

Another important Pokémon fansite in Latin America is [http://pokeguia.com/Pokémon_Project Pokémon Project]. Pokémon Project offers Pokémon-related news, game and anime information. It is one of the most visited fansites because of the content it offers and its interaction with the community of fans who follow the web site. One of the major events made by the community of Pokémon Project was a protest and request for Gabriel Ramos to come back to the Latin American dub.

== Trivia ==
* Cartoon Network Latinoamérica has never banned an episode of the Pokémon anime except for episodes which have been banned in Japan and the United States.
* Cartoon Network's "Biografia Toon" segment, which consists of biographies and histories of cartoon characters, has done a two-part segment on [[Ash's Pikachu]]. According to the segment, Pikachu is the result of an experiment conducted by [[Professor Oak]] and allegedly destroyed the lab where he was created in a momentary loss of control.
* When speaking at an anime event at a school in {{wp|Buenos Aires}}, {{wp|Argentina}}, voice actor Gabriel Ramos revealed that ''[[Pokémon Diamond & Pearl: Galactic Battles]]'' will have a total of 54 episodes.<ref>[http://pokemon-project.com/index.php?c=comentar&modo=ver&nid=333 Fancon: Kodomo Monsters - Pokémon Project] (in Spanish)</ref> However, season 12 ended with ''[[DP157|Gotta Get a Gible]]'', which brought the total number of ''Galactic Battles'' episodes to 52.
* Before the premiere of ''[[DP110|Steeling Peace of Mind!]]'' on February 14, 2010, ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'' was re-aired on {{tt|February 10|normal broadcast}} and {{tt|February 11, 2010|rerun}}. This is likely due to the similarity of [[Riley]] and [[Sir Aaron]].
* When ''[[DP112|Cheers on Castaways Isle!]]'' was {{tt|rerun on 3 March 2010|originally aired on 28 February 2010}} on Cartoon Network, the opening theme was [[Pokémon Theme]] instead of [[Battle Cry - (Stand Up!)]]. This is also true for the reruns of ''[[DP113|Hold the Phione!]]''{{tt|*|originally aired on 7 March 2010 and reaired on 10 March 2010}} and ''[[DP114|Another One Gabites the Dust!]]''{{tt|*|originally aired on 14 March 2010 and reaired on 17 March 2010}}. Starting from ''[[DP115|Stealing the Conversation!]]'', [[Battle Cry - (Stand Up!)]] was restored as the opening theme. For these three episodes, the episode titles were also ''not'' announced in Spanish.
* In "[http://www.pokemon.com/countryselect/ Select a Country]" from Pokémon.com, the only countries in Latin America that are on the map and have external websites related to Pokémon are [http://www.pokemon.com/ar/ Argentina] and [http://www.pokemon.com/cl/ Chile].

'''An Egg Scramble!''' (Japanese: '''ジョウトフェスタ！チコリータとワニノコ登場！！''' ''{{tt|Jōto Festa|Johto Festival}}! Enter {{tt|Chicorita|Chikorita}} and {{tt|Waninoko|Totodile}}!!'') is the 143rd episode of the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}, and the 609th episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It first aired in Japan as a 1 hour special on September 17, 2009, along with ''[[DP144|Gone With the Windworks!]]'', and in the United States on February 6, 2010.{{spoilers}}

==Synopsis==
As {{Ash}} and {{ashfr|his friends}} walk through a village, both Ash and {{an|Dawn}} complain of hunger. As they look for a place to have lunch, Ash spots a {{p|Marill}} stuck between two buildings. {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} struggle to pull it out, but Marill eventually uses {{m|Water Gun}} to force itself out. {{an|Brock}} checks it as Dawn scans with her [[Pokédex]]. A girl runs up and claims the Marill as hers, recalling it to its [[Poké Ball]]. She introduces herself as {{an|Lyra}} as Ash and his friends make their introductions. Lyra notices Dawn's Piplup and scans it with her own Pokédex. She reveals that her Pokédex is a brand-new [[Johto]] model, the same region she is from, and that the [[Johto Festival]] is commencing. She calls Dawn {{tt|Dane|Hikarin}} before they set off.

At the center of the village, the festival is in full gear as a phone rings. Lyra pulls out a new type of [[Pokégear]] that Ash doesn't recognize and answers it, talking to her friend [[Khoury]]. She talks about the festival, how it travels throughout other regions to promote Johto. A recording of Lyra hosting a documentary appears on the screen, the documentary talking about Johto's features, touching on [[Ecruteak City]], its [[Burned Tower]] and the [[Kimono Girl]]s, bringing back Ash's memories (and Brock's of the girls) of his previous travels throughout the Johto [[region]]. The presentation continues with [[Goldenrod City]], the [[Glitter Lighthouse]] in [[Olivine City]] and its [[Amphy|Ampharos]]. It rounds up with Johto's final [[Gym Leader]] in [[Blackthorn City]], {{type2|Dragon}} specialist [[Clair]] of [[Blackthorn Gym]]. The presentaion ends with Lyra hoping that the viewer visits the land of Johto soon. Lyra leads them to a [[Drink|MooMoo Milk]] stand that her friend Khoury runs. Dawn notices a {{p|Totodile}} behind the counter and scans it. Piplup and Pikachu try to meet, but Totodile doesn't respond to the friend request, about as well as with its [[Pokémon food]] that Khoury made. Brock samples it and says that it is too sweet, asking for [[Chesto Berry|Chesto Berries]]. Brock grinds up some berries into powder with a {{wp|mortar and pestle}}, then adds it to the food, which makes it more appealing to Totodile and allows it to chow down. As Brock offers to give him a recipe, [[Khoury's father]] offers the group soft serve ice cream made from MooMoo Milk, which they love. Lyra introduces the group to Khoury, a [[Pokémon breeder]], and his father, the man responsible for running the festival. Ash and Lyra share their experiences throughout [[Sinnoh]] and Johto [[gym]]s respectively, Ash with seven [[badge]]s and Lyra with the first two. Dawn mentions that she is a {{pkmn|Coordinator}}, the first one Lyra has met in person, as Khoury's Totodile jumps on his shoulder, hinting that the exhibition of the Johto {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} is about to start.

While [[Team Rocket]] chows down on food, Lyra starts the exhibition. She discusses the three Johto [[starter Pokémon]] on the screen before bringing out her {{p|Chikorita}}. Lyra calls Dawn up to the field to {{pkmn|battle}} Chikorita with Piplup. The crowd applauds as she accepts, stepping up to the platform. Lyra reveals that if Dawn wins, Lyra will give her a prize. Piplup jumps to battle, even though Chikorita has a [[Elemental type|type]] [[Damage modification|advantage]]. Khoruy's father starts the battle as Chikorita hits with {{m|Razor Leaf}}. Piplup rebounds and fires {{m|BubbleBeam}}, but a {{m|Light Screen}} blocks it. Piplup charges with {{m|Peck}} and hits before following up with another BubbleBeam. Another Light Screen blocks it, but it is clearly weaker. Another Peck attack breaks the shield and [[Unable to battle|knocks out]] Chikorita, giving Dawn the win. Khoury was impressed by the strategy as Lyra recalls Chikorita. Lyra presents Dawn with a wrapped box, her prize. Dawn opens it and finds a [[Pokémon egg]]. As they wonder what is inside the egg, Team Rocket suddenly appears in their [[Team Rocket's mechas|balloon]], packed up with food from the festival. {{MTR}} steals Dawn's egg with a mecha arm. They proceed to escape, but they run into a tree and puncture their balloon, sending them crashing away from the village in the forest. Ash and his friends pursue, and Lyra does too, but she has to convince Khoury to go too.

At the crash site, [[Jessie]] eats almost all the food (causing her belly to become swollen, in true anime fashion) as they turn to the egg. [[James]] theorizes that it holds a [[Legendary Pokémon]], each one coming up with an idea. A {{p|Teddiursa}} sneaks up and starts eating their food. Jessie scolds it and makes it cry, causing its parent {{p|Ursaring}} to attack them with {{m|Hyper Beam}}. Team Rocket runs away with the Ursaring in hot pursuit.

Ash and his friends find the deserted crash site as Lyra tries to motivate Khoury to be more brave. The guys and the girls split off to search as Ash sends {{AP|Staraptor}} to scout. Meanwhile, Team Rocket continues to run. Jessie trips and loses the egg. James and Meowth go after it while Jessie flees from Ursaring. Meowth and James reclaim it and try to meet up with Jessie. Ash and the guys spot James and follow. As James walks, he notices the egg flashing, indicating it is close to hatching. Staraptor has also spotted James, and Khoury phones Lyra to coordinate a meet. Using Marill and Totodile's Water Gun attacks, they are able to pursue James. When the guys catch up with James, the girls cut him off. Surrounded, James sends out {{TP|James|Carnivine}}. Khoury proceeds to check Carnivine with his Pokédex at a bad moment. Carnivine fires {{m|Bullet Seed}} to suppress the guys, but Totodile sneaks up and takes the egg back. Pikachu and Piplup attack with BubbleBeam and {{m|Thunderbolt}} before a twin Water Gun attack from Marill and Totodile sends James and Meowth off. Dawn reclaims her egg and notes it is close to hatching.

James and Meowth land and meet up with Jessie (whose stomach has instantly reverted to normal, also in true anime fashion), when they are then surrounded by many Ursaring. Back at the village, Lyra convinces Khoury's father to allow her to go attend the upcoming Contest, while Khoury wants to learn from Brock. He agrees to let Lyra and Khoury go with Ash and his friends for a while. Dawn's egg fully glows as she brings it out of the case, revealing her new {{TP|Dawn|Cyndaquil}}. Dawn picks up Cyndaquil, as it shows affection by lighting its back fire, torching Dawn's hair. Everyone laughs as they decide to travel together.

(Japanese: '''史上最悪のトゲピー！''' ''The Worst {{tt|Togepy|Togepi}} Ever!'') is the 142nd episode of the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}, and the 608th episode of the [[Pokémon anime]].

{{spoilers}}
==Synopsis==
{{Ash}} and {{ashfr|his friends}} come across a very tall tower. A disguised [[Team Rocket]] surprises them and mentions that it is a Trainer Tower, pushing them inside, leading them right into a pit trap that sends them into a cell. When they recover, Team Rocket appears without disguise on a video screen. As Team Rocket heads up in the tower, an evil-grinning {{p|Togepi}} appears. Up in the tower, Team Rocket celebrates since their work at the [[Twinleaf Festival]] was able to pay for such an expense. The Togepi waddles into one of their food storage closets, making a lot of noise. When Team Rocket heads out to check it, they find the food bank left in empty chaos. They hear another rattle at another food bank, where they catch Togepi. It tosses a banana peel at {{MTR}}, angering it to attack, but it quickly moves away. Togepi lands on the other side of the room, and as they prepare to attack, Togepi cries and tells Meowth that it is a different Togepi, that an evil one is still loose probably having teleported away. It convinces Team Rocket as they search for the other Togepi, but the manipulative Spike Ball Pokémon slips away.

Meanwhile, Ash and his friends try to break out with {{AP|Pikachu}}, {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} and {{TP|Brock|Croagunk}}'s attacks, but the bars are too resilient. Togepi apears from the elevator directly across from the cell, as {{an|Dawn}} checks it with her [[Pokédex]]. They try to tell Togepi to get away, but it helps by triggering a lever, raising the cell bars. They enter the elevator and head up to the fifth floor, but as they exit, they fall into another pit trap, Togepi watching and laughing. They wind up back in the cell. Also, Team Rocket continues to find ransacked food banks, as they wonder if their rooms have been hit too. [[James]] finds his bottlecaps intact, but Togepi uses {{m|Psychic}} to make him chase it. It proceeds to affect Jessie and Meowth as well, using its Psychic powers to send [[Jessie]]'s dresses into a mud bath while affecting the [[Giovanni]] petting robot Meowth has, making it rub so hard that the friction sets Meowth's fur on fire.

Back at the cell, Togepi once again releases Ash and his friends and takes them into the elevator. They head up to the rooftop, where once again they fall into a pit trap and wind up back in the cell. Dawn suspects that Togepi is deliberately doing it since it never fell into the pit trap as well. Togepi appears crying, trying to apologize, which succesfully tricks Ash and his friends. It lets them out once again, but instead of running to the elevator, they stay on the current floor. However, they once again hit a pit trap and wind up back in the cell, which solidifies the suspicion that Togepi is behind it.

Meanwhile, Team Rocket meets back up as they realize that Togepi is evil too. The elevator nearby appears as Togepi taunts them. They try to attack, but Togepi roasts them with {{m|Flamethrower}}. They try to run forward, but they hit a pit trap and wind up in the cell with Ash and his friends. They all realize that Togepi has been playing them all and is in control. It appears by the elevator, prompting Jessie to have {{TP|Jessie|Yanmega}} fire {{m|SonicBoom}}, but it seems to disappear, a decoy taking the hit. Togepi reappears, seeming gentle as it opens the cell and lets them out, but {{an|Brock}} mentions that Togepi could not have used {{m|Teleport}}, but {{m|Substitute}} would have created the desired effect. Having been unmasked, Togepi turns with an evil grin. Meowth tries to attack with {{m|Fury Swipes}}, but Togepi uses {{m|Attract}} to not only stop Meowth, but capture Pikachu, Piplup and Croagunk as well. It has no effect on Yanmega though, and after Togepi gets the affected Pokémon onto the elevator and up, the humans notice this. Jessie wonders why Yanmega wasn't affected, but Brock explains that Attract will only work against the opposite [[gender]], like male vs. female and female vs. male. James adds that it worked against Meowth, who they know is male, and since that makes Togepi female.... Jessie ponders this for a second before coming to a stunning conclusion: she asks Yanmega... that it's a girl?! Yanmega blushes and smiling, nods affirmative. Since the elevator is inaccessible, James leads them to the stairwell.

As they ascend, the building starts to shake as at the top, Togepi leads them to the control room as Meowth reveals the true nature of the structure: it is a spacecraft. The tower's outer structure comes apart and unveils a rocket ship. Togepi takes command of the bridge and has Meowth activate the boosters and sends the ship rocketing into space. The rocket takes them out into orbit as they plan to head away from the planet. The humans break onto the bridge and Brock has {{TP|Brock|Happiny}} use {{m|Pound}} to snap everyone out of infatuation, only to have Togepi recast Attract. Happiny and Togepi squabble and fight as Pikachu points out a {{p|Rayquaza}} approaching. It fires {{m|Hyper Beam}}, and though it misses, the force sends the ship hurtling back towards the atmosphere. The ship jolts and snaps the Pokémon out of infatuation as the power goes out and the exterior of the ship starts to heat up from reentry. While Happiny and Togepi continue to skirmish, James, having received a real rocket for his 10th birthday, takes control of the ship. Ash, Brock, and Dawn also offer their assistance. As Meowth removes a panel to the emergency generators, James has Pikachu power them up with {{m|Thunderbolt}} and {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}} to cool down the exterior nose cone by firing {{m|Ice Beam}} around the bridge. However one of the ship's manouvering rockets explodes, making it unstable, leaving James clueless. Brock suggests to have {{AP|Grotle}} and Piplup use {{m|Energy Ball}} and {{m|BubbleBeam}} to create explosions outside to stabilize the ship, which works. James deploys the parachute and the ship slowly floats downward. He sets the controls to auto-pilot when Togepi fires Flamethrower at Happiny and Happiny deflects it upward with Pound, incinerating the parachute and sending the ship into free fall. Just as they are about to crash boosters-first, Togepi uses Psychic to set the ship down gently for the last few meters. Togepi walks away and gets clear just as the ship disintegrates. Though stunned at facing the evil Togepi, Ash and his friends manage to pick up and leave. Team Rocket winds up stuck in the wreckage as Togepi laughs at them all from a distance.

'''Goldenrod City''' (Japanese: '''コガネシティ''' ''Kogane City'') is a sprawling metropolis located in western [[Johto]]. It is the largest city in the region, rivaling [[Saffron City]], the largest city in [[Kanto]]. Goldenrod is the center of the region's economy and telecommunications. Major attractions for Trainers include the [[Johto Radio Tower]], the city's [[Goldenrod Department Store|Department Store]], [[Goldenrod Game Corner|Game Corner]], [[Name Rater]], [[Global Terminal]] and [[Goldenrod Gym|Gym]].

[[Pokémon Trainer]]s often come to Goldenrod City in order to win the [[Badge#Plain Badge|Plain Badge]] from [[Whitney]], the Goldenrod [[Gym Leader]], who specializes in {{type2|Normal}} [[Pokémon]].

The [[National Park]], along with the [[Pokéthlon|Pokéthlon Dome]] is located north of Goldenrod off of {{rt|35}} while the [[Pokémon Daycare]] is just south of the city on {{rt|34}}.

==Places of interest==
===Bike Shop===
{{main|Miracle Cycle}}

The lone Bike Shop in Johto is located in an isolated neighborhood in east Goldenrod, where business doesn't seem to be doing very good. The owner of the shop moved his business from [[Cerulean City]] to Goldenrod in between [[Generation I]]/{{gen|III}} and [[Generation II]]/{{gen|IV}}.

The player obtains their [[Bicycle]] from the Goldenrod Miracle Cycle shop for free. It is initially for a temporary time, but they are allowed to keep it as riding it around increased the number of customers.

===Goldenrod Department Store===
[[File:Goldenrod City HGSS.png|thumb|200px|right|Goldenrod City in HeartGold and SoulSilver]]
{{main|Goldenrod Department Store}}

The Goldenrod Department Store, located in the city center, claims to have a full selection of Pokémon Goods for Trainers. Though the store does not carry vital items such as {{DL|Potion|Hyper Potion}}s, {{DL|Potion|Full Restore}}s, or {{DL|Poké Ball|Generation I Poké Balls|Ultra Ball}}s, it does back up its claim by boasting the widest selection of specialty items in Johto. It takes up quite a bit of space in Goldenrod City and is easy to find.

The store is composed of nine levels, including two basements and six shopping floors. The uppermost floor features a rooftop square. The rooftop cannot be accessed by the elevator, instead the player must travel up the final flight of stairs. Some binoculars let spectators see things far away. Some people go up to the roof top to take a break from shopping.

The basements of the store connect to the {{OBP|Underground Path|Goldenrod}}, which encompasses most of western Goldenrod. A team of workers and a {{p|Machoke}} are moving boxes around. People get told off by the worker for going down and distracting them. This is one of the endpoints of the Goldenrod {{OBP|Underground Path|Goldenrod}}. Every time the player enters the area, the boxes will be moved in various places, allowing access to items that are on the ground in blocked rooms.

[[Image:Anime goldenrod.jpg|300px|right|thumb|Goldenrod City in the anime]]

===Goldenrod Game Corner===
{{main|Goldenrod Game Corner}}

Johto's installment of the Game Corner is located in Goldenrod across the main north-south road from the department store. The parlor features slot machines among other varieties of games. In {{game|Crystal}}, the [[Move tutor]] can be found standing outside the building on Wednesdays and Saturdays.

There are two games to play; the Slot machines and the Card Flip. One to three coins can be put in the [[slot machine]] each play. One coin will only count the center row across, two coins will count all three rows across, and three coins will count all three rows across as well as both diagonals. The reels stop spinning when you press the A button. The Card Flip game is exclusive to [[Generation II]]. The player can pick either a card or a group of cards, making it much like Roulette. The deck has 24, each one with a number between 1 and 6 and a picture of one of four Pokémon ({{p|Pikachu}}, {{p|Jigglypuff}}, {{p|Oddish}}, or {{p|Poliwag}}). Bets can be placed by single card, by single column, by single row, by a pair of columns, or by a pair of rows.

===Johto Name Rater===
{{main|Name Rater}}

The Johto Name Rater is located in a house near the guard house separating Goldenrod from Route 35. Here, trainers can have the nicknames of their Pokémon rated and, if the Pokémon's ID number matches the trainer's ID number, the nickname can be changed.

If the Pokémon was caught by the player that currently owns it, he'll say that the name could be better and offer the player the option of changing it.

If the Pokémon he's judging was obtained via a trade, he will say that the name is perfect and refuse to change it. However, if both players have identical [[Trainer ID number|trainer IDs and secret IDs]], he will allow name changes.

===Johto Radio Tower===
{{main|Johto Radio Tower}}

The Johto Radio Tower, located at the west end of the main east-west path through the city, is the source of all [[PokéGear]] broadcasts in Johto. An antenna on top of the tower transmits three radio programs daily, with a fourth program being aired between 6 P.M. and 12 A.M. every night. The building has three studios spread over five floors. The radio tower broadcasts numerous programs daily, the most prominent of such being [[Professor Oak's Pokémon Talk]] and [[Buena's Password]], a new radio show that debuted in {{game|Crystal}}.

In {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, the station had two studios, located on the fourth and fifth floors. A third studio was added in Pokémon Crystal on the second floor. In every version, the tower has a welcome center, as well as a computer linked to [[Bill's PC]] and the trainer's personal computer, on the first floor and a small café on the second floor. The technical operations of the tower are handled by way of a network of computers on the third and fourth floors. The manager of the tower has an office on the fifth floor.

For a short time in [[Generation II]], the tower fell victim to the clutches of [[Team Rocket]], during which time none of the normal broadcasts were aired. Following the defeat of [[Pryce]] at the [[Mahogany Town]] Gym, it is necessary to purge the radio tower of Team Rocket in order to continue the storyline as a man selling [[Ragecandybar]]s will prevent access to [[Route 44]], the eastern path out of Mahogany, until the Radio Tower has been returned to normal.

===Magnet Train station===
{{main|Magnet Train}}
[[File:Magnet Train arrive HGSS.png|thumb|The Magnet Train as seen in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}]]
Saffron City and Goldenrod City are linked by a railway used by the Magnet Train, a high-speed train that runs regularly between the two cities. The train follows no set schedule, making the Magnet Train an ideal way to travel between Kanto and Johto.

To board the train, a potential rider must have a Pass. The {{OBP|Copycat|character}} of [[Saffron City]] has one (given to her as compensation for the fact that the station in Saffron is built where her house used to be), and is willing to give it up as a reward for returning her [[Poké Doll]] that {{ga|Red|a boy}} gave to her [[Generation I|three years before]].

Initially, the train is out of service as a minion of [[Team Rocket]] has stolen a valuable part from the [[Power Plant]] in Kanto. After defeating him in [[Cerulean City]], players can retrieve the part from the Cerulean City Gym and return it to the Power Plant. With the component back in place, the train will have the necessary power to run.

===Underground Path===
{{main|Underground Path (Goldenrod)}}

An underground path, often called the "Underground", runs from the southwestern side of the city to the northwestern area, with a branch leading from the Underground to the department store. A pair of groomers in the tunnel will groom Pokémon, increasing the friendship value for the groomed Pokémon, for a small fee.

This path contains a barber shop, [[Herb Shop|herb shop]], and a shop selling items which are simply resold for profit; however, the shops that are open at any given time depend on the [[days of the week|day]]. Trainers also litter this path, and there is an entrance to the basement of the [[Goldenrod Department Store]], initially occupied by [[Team Rocket]].

===Flower Shop===
Other locations of interest in Goldenrod include a woman who is able to determine the [[happiness]] of a Pokémon located in a house near the Bike Shop, and a flower shop in the northeast area of the city, where the key item {{DL|List of key items in Generation IV|Squirtbottle}} is located. In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the [[Gracidea (flower)|Gracidea]] can be obtained here with a [[fateful encounter]] {{p|Shaymin}} first in the party, and [[mulch]] can also be bought after {{p|Sudowoodo}} has been cleared from {{rt|36}}.

===Global Terminal===
{{main|Global Terminal}}
[[File:Global Terminal HGSS.png|300px|thumb|right|The Global Terminal]]
The Global Terminal is the worldwide network over which players can interact in different ways via [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]], only seen in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}. In order to access the terminal, players must have the the first [[badge]] of Johto. The player's first Pokémon is returned to its [[Poké Ball]] before entering the building.

The Global Trade Station lets a player send and receive Pokémon on the worldwide network. If the player talks with the woman at the counter, she will direct them into a room in which they can either put up a Pokémon to be traded or trade a Pokémon they own for one that has been put up for trade.

Players can go to the second floor by using the green warp panels. There are two points of interest on this floor: Box Data, located on the western side and the northern set of green machines, and the Dress-Up Data, located just below the Box Data, in the south-eastern corner. Players can go here by using the pink warp panels. There is only one point of interest on this floor: the Battle Video Gallery located on the western side and the set of the pink machines.

==Goldenrod Gym==
{{main|Goldenrod Gym}}
[[File:Goldenrod Gym HGSS.png|thumb|right|Goldenrod Gym in HeartGold and SoulSilver]]
The Goldenrod Gym is the official [[gym]] of Goldenrod City. Its focus is on {{type2|Normal}} [[Pokémon]]. The [[Gym Leader]] is [[Whitney]]. {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat her receive the {{Badge|Plain}}. In {{3v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, the Goldenrod Gym is a maze of flowers and ornaments. The player must navigate their way around the Gym floor by going around the wall of pretty flowers first then enter the middle section. The Trainers in the Gym are hard to avoid, and most of the them must be battled in order to reach Whitney. Whitney will be located in the middle of the Gym where she can be challenged to earn the [[Plain Badge]]. When Whitney is defeated, she throws a temper tantrum and cries, but after drying her eyes and blowing her nose, she will get over her loss and give the player the badge.

In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, many aesthetic changes have been made to the Goldenrod Gym. The overall layout of the Gym remains the same; however, the outer part of the Gym has been raised to create a platform above the rest of the Gym. To reach Whitney, the player must navigate their way around the raised platform, battle Trainers, and go though an arch below one of the platforms to reach Whitney.

After [[Leader]] [[Whitney]] is defeated, she will give the player the [[Badge#Plain Badge|Plain Badge]], {{TM|45|Attract}}, and the ability to use {{m|Strength}} outside of battle.

==Demographics==
Goldenrod City's population is about 77, making it by far the largest city in [[Johto]]. Its population is more than double the second-most-populous city in Johto, [[Violet City]]. This number also makes Goldenrod the biggest city in the Pokémon world, with 6 more than [[Lilycove City]], the second biggest. This high number is likely due to Goldenrod being the biggest city in the Pokémon world in terms of area and volume.

==Items==
* [[Bicycle]]: Gift from Bike Shop owner
* [[Squirtbottle]]: Gift from Flower Shop
* [[Fashion Case]]: Receive from {{ga|Kotone}} or {{ga|Hibiki}} upon entering the [[Underground Path (Goldenrod)|Underground Path]]
* [[Gracidea (flower)|Gracidea]]: Gift from Flower Shop (Must have a [[fateful encounter]] {{p|Shaymin}} in the party)

==Trivia==
* Goldenrod is the hometown of [[Bill]], the inventor of the Kanto and Johto [[Bill's PC|PC Storage System]], as well as the rest of his family, who lives in a small house near the Underground's southern entrance. However, some of his family also lives in [[Fuchsia City]].
* In the Japanese version of {{game|Crystal}}, the [[Pokémon Center]] was much larger since it had machines to use the [[Pokémon Mobile System]]'s capabilities, and it was known as the [[Pokémon Communication Center]]. This feature was removed completely in the English versions of the game, and was replaced with an average [[Pokémon Center]].
* So far, Goldenrod City is the city in the main series' games' with the most unused buildings.

==Name origin==
{{wp|Goldenrod}}s are a type of yellow-colored flowering plant. Kogane (黄金) means gold.

Sun Ribbon

2009-10-22T23:19:55Z

Altaria!:

The '''Sun Ribbon''' is an evolutionary [[item]] in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 1|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]] and [[Mystery Dungeon 2|its sequel]]. Due to the lack of a [[Time]] component, it is needed to [[evolution|evolve]] {{p|Eevee}} into {{p|Espeon}}, {{p|Budew}} into {{p|Roselia}}, {{p|Happiny}} into {{p|Chansey}}, and {{p|Riolu}} into {{p|Lucario}}, Pokémon that evolve during the day.

In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 1|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]], it is found in 20th floor of [[Wyvern Hill]] under a corridor which requires a key. In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Darkness]], it can be found in the Golden Chamber's [[Treasure Box|Treasure Boxes]]

Eevee, Budew or Riolu will ''not'' be able to evolve into Espeon, Roselia, or Lucario unless they have two (four in Mystery Dungeon for Eevee) stars of [[IQ]], even with the Sun Ribbon. Happiny requires the {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|Oval Stone}} in addition to the Sun Ribbon in order to evolve.

==Trivia==
* The Japanese name '''つじぎり''' (''Blade Testing'') is probably a reference to the way in which some particularly unscrupulous samurai would test new swords in feudal Japan. This was by hiding in wait by a road (typically a crossroads) and waiting for an unsuspecting commoner (i.e. lower class, and so with far fewer rights than the samurai class) to pass by. He would then strike to kill, and in this way learn how well his new sword could cut.
