'''May''' (Japanese: '''ハルカ''' ''Haruka'') serves as the [[rival]] in {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, should the {{player}} choose to play as the {{ga|Brendan|male character}}. She is also the female choice in the games, but ''May'' is never among the default names for the character.

The [[Generation III]] games deviated from the tradition of naming characters as their respective game names, such as {{ga|Red}} in the [[Generation I]] and [[Generation II]] games. As such, May's counterparts include {{an|May}} from the {{pkmn|anime}} and {{adv|Sapphire}} in the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga.

==In the games==
===Role===
If May is selected as the player character she starts her journey moving from her home in Johto to her new home in the town of Littleroot in Hoenn. After saving Prof. Birch from a wild Pokémon, she is given one of the three starters of the Hoenn region. May develops a close bond with {{ga|Brendan}}, and eventually [[Wally]], who both act as her rivals. May goes on to gather the eight badges of Hoenn, stop the plans of [[Team Aqua]]{{sup|Sa}}{{sup|E}}/[[Team Magma]]{{sup|Ru}}{{sup|E}} and conquer the Pokémon League all before going off to face the Battle Frontier.

If May is not selected as the player, she is helping her dad finish the Hoenn [[Pokédex]] and becoming a Pokémon professor. She is also the player's rival and friend. Unlike other [[rival]]s (except for {{ga|Brendan}} when playing as May), she gives up being a {{pkmn|Trainer}}, making them the only rivals unavailable for battle after defeating the [[Elite Four]]. Additionally, they both are the only ones to not [[evolution|evolve]] their [[starter Pokémon]] into its final form.

===Names===
While the player can name this character as is the case with all player characters, there are several default names provided for her. In {{v2|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, she has four default names, including three shared between the two versions. The two variant names between games collaborates with the theme of the plot, referring to "land" and "sea" respectively.

In the English version, these names are '''Terra''' and '''Mar'''ina; in the Japanese version, ムツミ '''''Mutsu'''mi'' and ナミ '''''Nami''''' (陸 ''mutsu'' means land and 波 ''nami'' means a wave of water). This is also the case in other languages. Unlike Brendan's name list, none of the three shared names correspond to this theme. 

In all translated versions of {{v2|Emerald}}, May has the same default names as in Pokémon Ruby, as well as 16 additional names which don't seem to hold any significance, with the exception of the German version. In this case, Emerald has only 15 additional names, plus the corresponding Sapphire name, Martina. Consequently, in the rest of the translated versions, there is no default name that relates to "sea". Notably, as the player character, the name May (or its other language counterparts) is never offered as a default name in any version.

As a rival, May's name is static.

The full list of default names for May as the female playable character in the games are as follows:

===In the anime===
{{main|May (anime)}}
[[File:MayDiamondPearl.png|thumb|right|May in the anime]] In the anime, a character based on May was a [[Pokémon Coordinator]] and {{Ash}}'s traveling companion throughout the [[Advanced Generation series]].

===In the manga===
Her counterpart in the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga is {{adv|Sapphire}} who, unlike her other counterparts, takes up Gym challenges and is an all-around tomboy thanks to a traumatic incident with {{adv|Ruby}} where a {{p|Salamence}} attacked them when they were children. She does have a feminine side however, as is shown in later volumes.

A counterpart to May, {{OBP|Sapphire|Pokémon Ruby-Sapphire}}, appears in the [[Pokémon Ruby-Sapphire]] manga. Just like {{an|May|May's anime counterpart}}, she is a {{pkmn|Coordinator}} who chooses {{p|Torchic}} as her [[starter Pokémon]].

Although they do not look alike, she has the same Japanese default name as {{OBP|Haruka|CCP}} from the [[Pokémon Chamo-Chamo ☆ Pretty ♪]] manga series. Likewise, Haruka is a {{pkmn|Coordinator}} who also chooses {{p|Torchic}} as her starter Pokémon, just like May's {{an|May|anime counterpart}}.

==Trivia==
* As the player character (along with {{ga|Brendan}}), they are the only set of player characters that have both a mother and a father present in the games.
* May and Brendan are the only rivals whose [[starter Pokémon]] does not reach its final form.
** They are also the only rivals who can't be fought in rematches after the player defeats the [[Elite Four]].

Anaserfrdrews12798: /* Trivia */

== The Implication of Dark ==

I added a little quip in the Characteristics section about other features of the Dark-type, specifically how many of the moves are associated with deception and stealing, earning it the title "Dark." I'm pretty sure Dark is not a reference to Night, even though Eevee involves into Umbreon at night, but I think that was just a way to showcase how Day and Night could be used in Gold/Silver. If anyone disagrees with this, I'm interested in your opinion--[[User:MJuice|MJuice]] 02:12, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
:The Japanese name for the type is Evil, so your observations aren't without support. However, over analyzing too much only adds fuel to the whole 'Pokemon is Satanic' argument.--[[User:Dual|Dual]] 04:44, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

:Late reply, but it seems rather likely to me that Dark actually refers to both. Darkness and nighttime are often used (both in Western and Eastern cultures, including Japan) as a symbolic reference to evil, especially the former. Several Dark Pokemon such as Murkrow also have a highly prominent connection to the night, be it evolutionary methods or location in the wild. Initially in Gold/Silver, it should be noted that every wild Dark Pokemon could only be found at night. Because of this, it is not necessarily true that the "Dark = Night" conception is a falsehood, so I don't think the night/darkness implications of the Dark type should be regarded as an outright misinterpretation so much as simply being opinionated. I've decided to remove the sentence containing this statement for that reason. [[User:Marlowe|Marlowe]] 18:41, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

:::::Because that was decided by the moves type bfore Gen IV and when they added two types two generations earlier, Steel was more clearly physical so they went the other way with Dark to keep things even.

== Trivia ==

In the trivia section for [[Electric (type)]], it's mentioned that ''Because Electric's only weakness is to Ground, a pure Electric-type Pokémon with Levitate would have no weaknesses unless Gravity is used or the foe has Mold Breaker.'' Worth mentioning for Dark/Poison with Levitate? [[User:MaskedFalcon|MaskedFalcon]] 11:55, 19 December 2008 (UTC)
:No, because Dark's weakness is {{type2|Fighting}} and Poison's weakness is {{type2|Psychic}}.--'''[[User:Diby|Di]][[User talk:Diby|b]][[Special:Contributions/Diby|y]]''' 11:59, 19 December 2008 (UTC)
::What I meant was, suppose we had a combination Dark/Poison type with Levitate.

==Zangoose and Seviper==
Should Zangoose & Seviper really be listed as one family? They're not related in any way, on the contrary - they're enemies. It's not the same as listing Tauros & Miltank or Volbeat & Illumise... Thoughts? --[[User:ElectAbuzzzz|ElectAbuzzzz]] 09:07, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
*I had noticed that before, and was considering changing it myself. I'm pretty sure that there's no way they're related. Arch rivals, yes, but the same family, no. [[User:Drapion|Drapion]] 14:24, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

Can I just say right now that it's stupid to call a family with one member a family. I suggest we just drop the word "Family" for all families of one, like so:

== Tauros and Miltank ==

Should they be a family? I'm 99% sure that their relation is more than just fan speculation and was in an official guide or something like that, but I can't remember.--[[User:Shinin|Shinin]] 17:02, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

:Yes, but these are '''evolution''' families.--[[User:Starlight the ampharos|Starlight the ampharos]] 00:21, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

== Ditto ==

I made an account specificly because of this. Somebody forgot everyone's favorite pink gooey friend Ditto which should be in between Lapras and Eevee. --[[User:KenStabler12|KenStabler12]] 05:49, 28 February 2010 (UTC)
:Yes... that is quite major. Thank you~ [[User:Umeko|梅子]][[User talk:Umeko|❄]][[Special:Contributions/Umeko|❅]] 05:52, 28 February 2010 (UTC)

== Region-based headings ==

Is calling the families "Kanto-based", "Johto Based" etc, wouldn't it make more sense to list the headings as "Generation I-introduced families" instead? Especially considering that Gen II Pokemon like Houndour and Houndoom aren't actually found in Johto, or that the Roselia and Chimecho families are more common in Sinnoh than they are in Hoenn. --{{u|Thingamajig257}} 10:54, 4th February, 2010

== Solrock and Lunatone ==

I don't see why Plusle and Minun are counted as one family while these two aren't. --[[User:Thingamajig257|Thingamajig257]] 13:36, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

== Nidoran family & EP sorting ==

I can't figure out how to do it. The Nidoran lines should be in a shared "Nidoran family"
Especially since both Nidoran can hatch from Nidoran female eggs, like it's the case with Illumise.

Oh and I have an idea.
There are 3 columns (1->2->3)
Wouldn't it make sense if pokemon would be sorted by amount of Effort points?
For example, this way,
Lapras(2EP) would be in the middle column like Shelgon,
Farfetch'd(1EP) would still be in the 1st column like Bagon,
while Lugia(3EP) would be in the last column, like Salamence.

An obvious example are Mantine and Skarmory. Right now Skarmory is above Mantyke. With the above sorting, Skarmory would be above Mantine since they both give 2 Effort Points.
--[[User:Saiph charon|Saiph charon]] 15:10, 28 April 2010 (UTC)

The following pokemon's places would change with this:

Lickitung & Lickilicky (2 & 3), Kangaskhan (2), Lapras (2), Pinsir (2), Tauros (2), Aerodactyl (2), Articuno (3), Zapdos (3), Moltres (3), Mewtwo (3), Mew (3), Unown (2, lol), Girafarig (2), Shuckle (2), Heracross (2), Corsola (2), Skarmory (2), Miltank (2), Raikou (3), Entei (3), Suicune (3), Lugia (3), Ho-oh (3), Celebi (3), Sableye (2), Mawile (2), Torkoal (2), Zangoose (2), Seviper (2), Solrock (2), Lunatone (2), Tropius (2), Absol (2), Relicanth (2), Regirock (3), Regice (3), Registeel (3), Latias (3), Latios (3), Kyogre (3), Groudon (3), Rayquaza (3), Jirachi (3), Deoxys (3), Spiritomb (2), Carnivine (2), Rotom (2), Uxie (3), Mesprit (3), Azelf (3), Dialga (3), Palkia (3), Heatran (3), Regigigas (3), Giratina (3), Cresselia (3), Manaphy (3), Darkrai (3), Shaymin (3), Arceus (3)--[[User:Saiph charon|Saiph charon]] 15:31, 28 April 2010 (UTC)

The reason Nidoran doesn't have a shared family is because the Group version of the lop/evo template doens't allow for evolutions. --[[User:Goldenpelt|Goldenpelt]] 22:35, 1 August 2010 (UTC)

== Frillish ==

Shouldn't Frillish's fermale form be added to the Frillish Family? Likewise with Unfezant?
I know it's only a difference in appearance between the male and female, but at the same time, they are different members of the same family.. Opinions? --[[User:Beyondashadow|Beyondashadow]] 03:11, 3 June 2011 (UTC)

== Not an evolution family! ==

First of all, though admittedly similar, Plusle and Minun are not an Evolution family, neither are Throh or Sawk. They are not gender couterparts and they do not share a basic form. Also if we are to carry on including Sawk and Throh in the same family, isn't calling it the "Geki" family misleading? Yes their Japanese names share the element but to English speakers it means nothing. Thanks [[User:Anaserfrdrews12798|Anaserfrdrews12798]] 15:23, 3 December 2011 (UTC)

Solrock and Lunatone seem to in some way be counter parts to each other, but they aren't realated, same goes for Plusle and Minun and Sawk and Throh. They aren't gender counterparts either. Shouldn't they be considered different families due to being separate species? [[User:Anaserfrdrews12798|Anaserfrdrews12798]] 15:14, 3 December 2011 (UTC)

'''Brendan''' (Japanese: '''ユウキ''' ''Yūki'') is the male choice for the [[player character]] in {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, and also serves as the [[rival]] in the same games if the player chooses to play as the {{ga|May|female character}}.

==In the games==
===Role===
If Brendan is selected as the player character he starts his journey moving from his home in Johto to his new home in the town of Littleroot in Hoenn. After saving Prof. Birch from a wild Pokémon, he is given one of the three starters of the Hoenn region. Brendan develops a close bond with {{ga|May}}, and eventually [[Wally]], who both act as his rivals. Brendan goes on to gather the eight badges of Hoenn, stop the plans of [[Team Aqua]]{{sup|Sa}}{{sup|E}}/[[Team Magma]]{{sup|Ru}}{{sup|E}} and conquer the Pokémon League all before going off to face the Battle Frontier (in Emerald).

If Brendan is not selected as the player, he is helping his dad finish the Hoenn [[Pokédex]] and becoming a Pokémon professor. He is also the player's rival and friend. Unlike other [[rival]]s (except for {{ga|May}} when playing as Brendan), he gives up being a {{pkmn|Trainer}}, making them the only rivals unavailable for battle after defeating the [[Elite Four]]. Additionally, they both are the only ones to not [[evolution|evolve]] their [[starter Pokémon]] into its final form.

===Names===
While the player can name this character as is the case with all player characters, there are several default names provided for him. In {{v2|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, he has four default names, including three shared between the two versions. The two variant names between games collaborates with the theme of the plot, referring to "land" and "sea" respectively.

In the English version, these names are '''Land'''on and '''Sea'''n; in the Japanese version, リクヤ '''''Riku'''ya'' and カイト '''''Kai'''to'' (陸 ''riku'' means land and 海 ''kai'' means sea). This is also the case in other languages. Additionally, in the English version, two of the shared names—Terry and Seth—seem to be influenced by the same theme.

In all translated versions of {{v2|Emerald}}, Brendan has the same default names as in Pokémon Ruby, as well as 16 additional names which don't seem to hold any significance. Consequently, there is no default name that relates to "sea" in Emerald. Notably, as the player character, the name Brendan (or its other language counterparts) is never offered as a default name in any version.

As a rival, Brendan's name is static.

The full list of default names for Brendan as the male playable character in the games are as follows:

==Counterparts==
===In the anime===
[[Image:Brendan_Swampert.png|thumb|220px|Brendan's anime appearance]]
Brendan's only anime appearances are small cameos in the movies, appearing in the openings of ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]'', ''[[M09|Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]'' and ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''. Brendan seems to be a competitive battler, as his cameos suggest he spends time in Battle Towers. In all of his appearances, he has appeared with his Ruby and Sapphire outfit.

Like in the games, he has the [[starter Pokémon]] that weakens {{an|May}}'s. It is unknown if his relatives are the same as that of the games, where, as May is [[Norman]]'s daughter (as the player is), Brendan would be [[Professor Birch]]'s son.

====Pokémon====
The following are Brendan's known Pokémon in the anime:

Swampert's only known move is {{m|Ice Beam}}.}}

Aggron was freezing the opponent's Solrock while Shiftry was being hit by the Manectric's {{m|Spark}}. Notably, Aggron is kept within a {{DL|Poké Ball|Luxury Ball}}, a type of [[Poké Ball]] rarely seen in the anime.

Aggron's only known move is {{m|Ice Beam}}.}}

===In the manga===
There are three different manga counterparts to Brendan: {{adv|Ruby}} from the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, {{OBP|Ruby|Pokémon Ruby-Sapphire}} from the [[Pokémon Ruby-Sapphire]] manga, and [[Rald]] from the [[Pokémon Battle Frontier]] manga.

===In the TFG===
{{TFG ID|Next Quest|Brendan|41}}, based on a blue recolor of this character's usual clothes, appears as a common Trainer figure in {{TFG|Next Quest}}, the launch set of the [[Pokémon Trading Figure Game]]. There is also an unreleased figurine based on him from the cancelled {{TFG|Groundbreakers}} expansion, named {{TFG ID|Groundbreakers|Landon|41}} (one of the default names for him in Pokémon Ruby and Emerald), who wears the same outfit as Brendan does in Ruby and Sapphire.

==Trivia==
*In [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]], {{p|Pikachu}} wears Brendan's Emerald headband as an alternate costume. Also, the [[Red (game)#In the Super Smash Bros. series|Pokémon Trainer]] has an alternate costume with a similar color scheme as Brendan's Emerald outfit.
*He and {{ga|May}} are the only set of player characters who have a chance to speak with both a mother and a father in the games.

Anaserfrdrews12798: /* Generation II Gym Leader Artwork */

Is it necessary to have "Jimu Rīdā" in there when that's just the Japanese pronunciation of "Gym Leader" to begin with? --BJG

Of course it is. JAPANESE IS GOOD AND ENGLISH IS BAD. Jimu Riidaa is obviously a different phrase than Gym Leader, and NoA CHANGED IT AND BASTARDISED IT when they translated the games! Just like Kurisutaru and Crystal are also DIFFERENT WORDS and so are Reddo/Red, and so forth. --Ketsuban

Assuming you were kidding, Ketsuban, I changed the Japanese to "Gym Leader"... also I got rid of some of the info at the beginning that was already covered under [[Gym]] AND [[Badge]]. If anyone thought it was also necessary here, feel free to revert back. Also, regarding this page, do we need to have the USE of the Badge if that's already covered under [[Badge]]? Also, shouldn't all the Badges be linked to the Badge page? --[[User:Greengiant|Greengiant]] 01:49, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I agree with linking the badges to the Badge page. [[User:Surskitty|surskitty]] 21:03, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I thought the [[Badge]] page was mostly there so that individual illustrations of each badge would have a place to go. - Zeta

== Leader name and badge change ==

i changed Wake and Candice's stuff because of this
http://usera.imagecave.com/NeoSeifer/SinnohGymLeaders.bmp.jpg 
--{{unsigned|DSDark}}

Not too surprised that they're calling him Wake. After all, his full Japanese name (Maximum Maxi) was shortened to just Maxi. --[[User:PAK Man|PAK Man]] 14:54, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

== Jasmine comment ==
An NPC in the Lighthouse in G/S/C mentions that Jasmine used to train Rock-type Pokémon. Her badge's name (Mineral) also sounds a little like a Rock-type badge. Therefore, hasn't every region technically had a Rock-type gym at some point?--[[User:Nebula|Nebula]] 22:55, 22 November 2007 (UTC)
:Unless there is a source that gives some of the Olivine Gym's history, we don't know for sure if it was ever for Rock types. --[[User:Fabu-Vinny|FabuVinny]] [[User talk:Fabu-Vinny|T]]-[[Special:Contributions/Fabu-Vinny|C]]-[[User:Fabu-Vinny/Sandbox|S]] 23:50, 22 November 2007 (UTC)
::NPCS confirm that Jasmine did used to train Rock types as a Gym leader. [[User:IIMarckus|IIMarckus]] 18:31, 19 September 2008 (UTC)
:::Yeah, there's a bloke (I think he's a sailor) in the lighthouse. He says he returned from his travels to Olivine and was shocked to find that the Gym Leader had change the type she specialised in.

== Trivia, Trivia, and MORE Trivia ==

So last night I was really bored and decided to see any patterns in the Gym Leaders, along with some awkward stuff too..

*There are *usually* 4 females, and 4 males, however [[Johto]] breaks this rule, with 3 girls and 5 males. Unless Bugsy is a girl.
*Hoenn, has 4 Special-typed gyms, and 4 Physical-typed gyms. Hell, the gender is split evenly along Special and Physical, with 2 females and 2 males specializing in Special-type, and vice versa. Otherwise, the amount of Special-based and Physical-based are uneven.
*There was something else, but I can't remember it at this moment.

..yeah, I was bored alright. [[User:TinaTheKirlia|Tina]][[Special:Contributions/TinaTheKirlia|☆]][[User talk:TinaTheKirlia|♫]]{{ani|281}} 05:16, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

== Pryce ==

In this article, it puts Pryce as the 7th gym leader. I battled him before Chuck or Jasmine-because I hadn't even gotten to their respective cities yet. There was a guy in front of the door, but he disappeared after the souveneir shop thing. Pryces article said that he couldn't be battled until you defeat Team Rocket in their headquarters, but now i'm confused as to whether it meant the thing i did, or another event later in the game. And no, i have never used an external device or, to the best of my knowledge, any glitches. [[User:Flyingtypefan|Flyingtypefan]] 08:17, 20 May 2010 (UTC)
:Pryce is meant to be the seventh Gym Leader, but you can defeat most of them in any order. For example, in Kanto you can skip Lt. Surge and Sabrina until almost just before taking on the Viridian Gym if you so desire. —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 08:56, 20 May 2010 (UTC)
Oh. I thought the table might have been out of order or something. Thanks. [[User:Flyingtypefan|Flyingtypefan]] 22:40, 20 May 2010 (UTC)

In HG/SS, you can battle Chuck, Jasmine, and Pryce in any order you choose. Due to the fact that the road splits after Morty, you can battle any of the three in any order you want. I personally battled Jasmine before Chuck. It all depends on where you want to go. If you are not sure which way to go, look at the Pokegear and the strategy guide if you have it. If there is a Pokemon you want, (because you might still be building your party to how you want it) then go the path that leads you there the quickest. In Kanto, I went the route suggested and beat 4 Gyms in one day and 3 the next. It was all based on my thought process at the time. It is like so many things in Pokemon, it is all based on decision.
To answer your question, the souveneir shop thing is supposed to happen before Pryce. You did the right thing. [[User:Pokemon26|Pokemon26]] 18:24, 21 July 2010.

Is it necessary to have "Jimu Rīdā" in there when that's just the Japanese pronunciation of "Gym Leader" to begin with? --BJG

Of course it is. JAPANESE IS GOOD AND ENGLISH IS BAD. Jimu Riidaa is obviously a different phrase than Gym Leader, and NoA CHANGED IT AND BASTARDISED IT when they translated the games! Just like Kurisutaru and Crystal are also DIFFERENT WORDS and so are Reddo/Red, and so forth. --Ketsuban

Assuming you were kidding, Ketsuban, I changed the Japanese to "Gym Leader"... also I got rid of some of the info at the beginning that was already covered under [[Gym]] AND [[Badge]]. If anyone thought it was also necessary here, feel free to revert back. Also, regarding this page, do we need to have the USE of the Badge if that's already covered under [[Badge]]? Also, shouldn't all the Badges be linked to the Badge page? --[[User:Greengiant|Greengiant]] 01:49, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I agree with linking the badges to the Badge page. [[User:Surskitty|surskitty]] 21:03, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)

== Trivia, Trivia, and MORE Trivia ==

So last night I was really bored and decided to see any patterns in the Gym Leaders, along with some awkward stuff too..

*There are *usually* 4 females, and 4 males, however [[Johto]] breaks this rule, with 3 girls and 5 males. Unless Bugsy is a girl.
*Hoenn, has 4 Special-typed gyms, and 4 Physical-typed gyms. Hell, the gender is split evenly along Special and Physical, with 2 females and 2 males specializing in Special-type, and vice versa. Otherwise, the amount of Special-based and Physical-based are uneven.
*There was something else, but I can't remember it at this moment.

All the kanto gym types, before blue and with the exception of saffron's gym, are followed by a gym type with an advantage to them. Also all the johto gym types, with the exception of goldenrod's gym, precede a type they have an advantage against. [[User:Kanjo|Kanjo]] 18:20, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

Oh. I thought the table might have been out of order or something. Thanks. [[User:Flyingtypefan|Flyingtypefan]] 22:40, 20 May 2010 (UTC)

In HG/SS, you can battle Chuck, Jasmine, and Pryce in any order you choose. Due to the fact that the road splits after Morty, you can battle any of the three in any order you want. I personally battled Jasmine before Chuck. It all depends on where you want to go. If you are not sure which way to go, look at the Pokegear and the strategy guide if you have it. If there is a Pokemon you want, (because you might still be building your party to how you want it) then go the path that leads you there the quickest. In Kanto, I went the route suggested and beat 4 Gyms in one day and 3 the next. It was all based on my thought process at the time. It is like so many things in Pokemon, it is all based on decision.
To answer your question, the souveneir shop thing is supposed to happen before Pryce. You did the right thing. [[User:Pokemon26|Pokemon26]] 18:24, 21 July 2010.

I'm pretty sure this is a mistake, but when does Surge appear at MooMoo Farm? --[[User:HoennMaster|Hoenn]][[User talk:HoennMaster|Master]] 17:01, 2 October 2010 (UTC)
:On Fridays and Saturdays, he appears on Route 39 (MooMoo Farm) after you've traded for his Pikachu. [[User:ArcToraphim|Luna Tiger]] * [[User talk:ArcToraphim|the Arc Toraph]] 17:08, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

== Merger discussions==
===1===
Since it's a worthless stub, I suggest merging it with [[Gym Leader]]. Would it be a good move? Just make sure to put other languages section in [[Gym Leader]] article if it's decided to merge the page. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 12:24, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
:Maybe. There is a discussion in the forums about it.--[[User:Clarky13|'''Clarky''']][[User talk:Clarky13|'''13''']] 12:27, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
::No. This article is about the trainer class, not the characters. Yes, they are similar, but they remain quite different. It just needs improvement. — [[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|THE TROM]] — 10:14, 17 February 2009 (UTC)
:::Wait, huh? How are the 'Leader' trainer class and the 'Gym Leader' position any different? They both refer to the same thing... Anyway, I suggest a merge. Do we have to vote or something, or are we just discussing for now? '''[[User:Memo326|Memo]]'''[[User talk:Memo326|326]] 00:11, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
::::This article should NOT be merged. It specifically provides information regarding the Gym Leaders in the Pokémon ''games''. The article [[Gym Leader]] heavily references the Anime. [[User:Auxia|'''AUXIA''']] 02:09, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
:::::Well, they're still the same subject. We are not proposing a mere ''deletion'' of this page, but a ''merging'' to the Gym Leader one, so if you feel that this one addresses the games and the other the anime, if they became merged, the 'Gym Leader' page would talk about Gym Leaders in the games and anime (which happen to be the same thing)... (the Gym Leaders in both mediums, not the mediums themselves, I mean.)'''[[User:Memo326|Memo]]'''[[User talk:Memo326|326]] 04:39, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
:::::*Yes, they are technically the same thing. But if the decision is made to merge the articles, it might be a good idea to have one section of the article dedicated to the Anime and another to the games. Furthermore, if they are merged, I think a link to the Gym Leader article should remain in the list of Trainer Classes, as they are, technically, a separate class.

::'''No''' merge. It is actually a trainer class. Then our little trainer class box at the bottom of the page has a link to an actual trainer class that was merged to Gym Leader because everyone thought they were the same. They aren't so deal with it. (No offense). Find a way to include the fact that the Trainer Class was actually Leader not Gym Leader, then go ahead.

:::They aren't "the same" in the English versions because of the character limit. In Japanese, it's the same, and it was intended to be the same in English, undoubtedly. Now, I'm either for us moving everything to X (Trainer class) [because that's how we do it with other things, we don't have {{tc|Psychic}} and {{m|Psychic}}, {{tc|Double Team}} and {{m|Double Team}}, and not {{red link|Leader (Trainer class)|Leader}} and {{m|Fire Blast}} or merging this. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 19:07, 6 December 2009 (UTC)
::::Merging makes sense. The two articles are about the same thing, regardless of what media they describe. We don't have seperate articles on [[Gyms]] in the anime and games. And the fact that it describes a specific Trainer class is also a non-issue. [[Mysticalman]] redirects to [[Eusine]], after all. Couldn't the Gym Leader page have information about the Trainer class as well? --[[User:AndyPKMN|AndyPKMN]] 20:31, 6 December 2009 (UTC)

This has been tagged since early 2009 at the latest. There are no logical arguments against merging, really. So I'll just go ahead and merge, like I did the [[Team Rocket Grunts]]. '''[[User:Memo326|Memo]]'''[[User talk:Memo326|326]] 21:47, 10 October 2010 (UTC)

We now have some (all?) of the Gym Leader and Elite Four artwork. It's not the best quality - but it's the best quality that exists. I think that'll give an idea, anyway, and we can update the art as more comes to hand. —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 19:49, 25 November 2010 (UTC)

== Unova rematching ==
I've seen YouTube videos featuring rematches of Chili and Iris, and there are more that i didn't watch yet. I'm pretty sure that he hacked it to make the videos, but just in case, can someone confirm that it's impossible to rematch them? [[User:EvilKirikizan|EvilKirikizan]] 19:30, 18 June 2011 (UTC)
:No.There is absolutely no way to rematch leaders in BW.There are hack tools coming out for people to hack the Black and White games,so I guess it was hacked.{{unsigned|Skarm}}

== Generation II Gym Leader Artwork ==

Hey sorry but just curious, the Kanto Gym Leaders have their Gen I Artwork on the page, why don't the Johto Leaders have their Gen II Artwork? If you can help thanks{{unsigned|Anaserfrdrews12798}}
:No they don't. Both Kanto and Johto Gym Leaders have their [[Generation IV]] sprites.--'''[[User:Dennou Zenshi|電禅]][[User talk:Dennou Zenshi|Den Zen]]''' 20:26, 24 November 2011 (UTC)
Nah, the Kanto gym leaders have their Gen II and Gen I artwork in the section titled "Artwork", but I think only Janine has her Gen II art in the "Artwork " section of that page. I remember before HG/SS the Johto leaders had Artwork from games at the top of the page, i'm wondering why that isn't there anymore.
