This is a list of '''Pokémon parodies''', instances where a creative work or a part of one deliberately resembles or mocks the [[Pokémon]] franchise. Unlike [[List of references to Pokémon in popular culture|references]], they generally avoid the use of the names or any actual {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} species associated with the franchise. The following list is divided by the medium of the work, then sorted alphabetically by the name of the work making the parody.

This is a list of '''Pokémon parodies''', instances where a creative work or a part of one deliberately resembles or mocks the [[Pokémon]] franchise. Unlike [[List of references to Pokémon in popular culture|references]], they generally avoid the use of the names or any actual {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} species associated with the franchise. The following list is divided by the medium of the work, then sorted alphabetically by the name of the work making the parody.

The Sujimon Sensei takes Kasuga to his lab, which he calls the [[Pokémon Center|Sujimon Center]], and offers Kasuga to [[First partner Pokémon|choose between a Green, Red, or Blue Sujimon]]. The Sujimon Sensei makes many allusions in his speech, including "[[Pokémon battle|Sujimon battle]]", "[[Gotta catch 'em all!|gotta dispatch 'em all!]]", and "[[Pokémon Master|Sujimon Master]]", as well as direct quotes, such as "I choose you!" and "[[Pokémon Theme|be the very best, like no one ever was]]".

[[File:Nobuyuki Hiyama.jpg|thumb|250px|Nobuyuki Hiyama]]
'''Nobuyuki Hiyama''' (Japanese: '''檜山修之''' ''Hiyama Nobuyuki'') is a Japanese voice actor for {{aniseries|PTS}}.

==Biography==
Hiyama was born on August 25, 1967, in {{wp|Hatsukaichi, Hiroshima}}, {{wp|Japan}}. As an adolescent, he did not enjoy pursuing extracurricular activities in school, particularly radio club, but he eventually found his high school radio club experience to be eventful. As a result, he developed an interest in radio drama, and noticed a boom in voice acting job opportunities during the 1970s and 1980s. Hiyama subsequently pursued a career in voice acting, despite a lack of financial support from his parents. He is currently affiliated with {{wp|Arts Vision}}.

Hiyama joined {{aniseries|PTS}} during [[S01|the first season]], and has since returned a number of times to voice different characters. His most notable roles include two [[Frontier Brain]]s, [[Noland]] and [[Palmer]] (of {{aniseries|RS}} and {{aniseries|DP}}, respectively), as well as [[island kahuna]] [[Hala]] of {{aniseries|SM}}. Hiyama is one out of only a few voice actors outside the main cast to have voiced at least one character in every [[series]].

{{fan speculation}}
This is a list of '''Pokémon parodies''', instances where a creative work or a part of one deliberately resembles or mocks the [[Pokémon]] franchise. Unlike [[List of references to Pokémon in popular culture|references]], they generally avoid the use of the names or any actual {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} species associated with the franchise. The following list is divided by the medium of the work, then sorted alphabetically by the name of the work making the parody.

This is a list of '''Pokémon parodies''', instances where a creative work or a part of one deliberately resembles or mocks the [[Pokémon]] franchise. Unlike [[List of references to Pokémon in popular culture|references]], they generally avoid the use of the names or any actual {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} species associated with the franchise. The following list is divided by the medium of the work, then sorted alphabetically by the name of the work making the parody.

This is a list of '''Pokémon parodies''', instances where a creative work or a part of one deliberately resembles or mocks the [[Pokémon]] franchise. Unlike [[List of references to Pokémon in popular culture|references]], they generally avoid the use of the names or any actual {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} species associated with the franchise. The following list is divided by the medium of the work, then sorted alphabetically by the name of the work making the parody.

| ''{{wp|Smosh: The Movie}}
| style="text-align:left" | The plot of the movie revolves around Anthony and Ian going inside YouTube and changing an embarrassing video of Anthony singing a parodied version of the [[Pokémon Theme]] while failing to do a backflip. Additionally, numerous references to a series called "Magic Pocket Slave Monsters" are seen throughout the movie, including an arcade machine that features a parodied version of [[Ash Ketchum]] whipping a parodied version of {{p|Pikachu}}, albeit with circular ears, scars, and an eyepatch. The machine also parodies {{i|Poké Ball}}s with cube-shaped versions. The point of "Magic Pocket Slave Monsters" pays homage to Smosh's incredibly successful YouTube video where they lip-sync the [[Pokémon Theme]], which was taken down due to copyright reasons.

List of references to Pokémon in popular culture

2021-06-27T19:05:16Z

Antiyonder: /* Books, comics, and manga */

{{PA}}
{{fan speculation}}
This is a list of '''references to Pokémon in popular culture''', instances where television shows, music and video clips, or other non-[[Pokémon]] media explicitly mention the Pokémon franchise (or even a specific {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}). This list includes only ''notable'' references, where they must either refer to specific details of the Pokémon franchise, or else play an important role in the work making the reference. The following list is divided by the medium of the work, then sorted alphabetically by the name of the work making the reference.

References that simply mention the Pokémon franchise, use a Pokémon catchphrase, or have a Pokémon character or item briefly appear in the background or as a visual gag are listed separately on the [[list of background references to Pokémon]]. They are also distinct from parodies, which are listed separately on the [[list of Pokémon parodies]]. This list also excludes mere resemblances between character designs, non-fiction shows mentioning the existence of Pokémon, or news shows discussing Pokémon-related news, as well as game show questions about Pokémon.

===Science===
* '''{{wp|Aerodactylus}} scolopaciceps''' was renamed from ''Pterodactylus scolopaciceps'' in October 2014 due to a newly discovered {{wp|taxon}}omic separation. The name refers to {{p|Aerodactyl}}, a Pokémon based on various pterosaur species because it "seemed a pertinent name for a genus which has been synonymous with ''Pterodatylus'' for so long due to a combination of features".<ref>[http://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0110646#s5 PLOS ONE: The Problem of Cryptic Pterosaur Taxa in Early Ontogeny]</ref>
* '''{{wp|Binburrum}} {{p|Articuno}}, Binburrum {{p|Zapdos}}, and Binburrum {{p|Moltres}} are 3 rare types of beetles found in different parts of Australia named after the 3 Legendary Birds of Kanto.
* '''{{wp|Bulbasaurus}} phylloxyron''', a species of dicynodonts (precursors to early mammals) discovered in January 2017. Although officially named after the bulbous shape of its nose, the scientist who named the species made several references to Pokémon on twitter while presenting the species. In addition, phylloxyron literally means "Razor Leaf".<ref name="Synapsid article">[http://blogs.plos.org/paleocomm/2017/01/31/synapsida-gotta-catch-em-all/ Synapsida – Gotta catch ‘em all!]</ref><ref name="Real-life taxonomic influence">[https://peerj.com/articles/2913/ An early geikiid dicynodont from the ''Tropidostoma'' Assemblage Zone (late Permian) of South Africa]</ref>

* '''{{wp|Pikachurin}}''', a protein discovered by Japanese researches in 2008, which helps carry electrical impulses from the eyes to the brain. The name refers to the Pokémon and to the protein possessing "lightning-fast moves and shocking electric effects".
* '''Pokemon''' was the temporary name of gene {{wp|Zbtb7}}. The name officially stood for "POK erythroid myeloid ontogenic factor", likely as a reference in the form of a {{wp|backronym}}. It was eventually renamed due to [[The Pokémon Company]]'s threats of legal action, who did not wish to be associated with the cancer-related gene.<ref>[https://www.gamespot.com/articles/pokemon-usa-threatens-to-sue-cancer-researchers/1100-6141487/ Pokemon USA threatens to sue cancer researchers | GameSpot]</ref>

| {{tt|N/A|Entire series throughout.}}
| style="text-align:left" | During the opening of the series, Umaru walks to a table that has her signature hoodie and three Poké Balls, and interacts with the hoodie. In addition, in the episode ''Umaru and her rival'', after being told not to play with a cat souvenir, Umaru plays with it the next day alongside her hamster toys, calling it "Pocket Hamsters GK". She makes them battle, and during the battle, she starts by shouting "A wild Hamsaburou has appeared!" She then proceeds to summon the cat souvenir, shouting "Metal Nyankos! I choose you!" She makes the cat bob its head, saying that it makes Hamsaburou's defense fall while a health bar on the side of the screen drops by about half. She then reaches for a capsule to use to catch Hamsaburou, but trips and knocks the cat off the table, breaking it. Later, while trying to rebuild it, she remakes the head from scratch, but can't remember its face, and gives it a face similar to that of Pikachu's, with a voice shouting "Pukka!" Lastly, in between scenes, the room from the opening's reference appears, with a logo underneath it very similar to Pokémon's Japanese logo. Taihei walks up to a sleeping Umaru and tells her in a dialogue box "Umaru, starting today, you're a trainer!", to which she responds "Ugh, just five more minutes."

===Books, comics, and manga===
* A ''{{wp|FoxTrot (comic strip)|FoxTrot}}'' [http://www.gocomics.com/foxtrot/2011/04/03 comic strip from April 3, 2011] has Jason and Peter playing catch. After he tossed, Jason shouted "I choose you, {{p|Gigalith}}!" He later mentioned he had played a lot of Pokémon recently as Peter questions why the ball was shaking. This strip was released weeks after the release of {{game|Black and White|s}}.
* In {{wp|Rick Riordan}}'s book ''{{wp|The Mark of Athena}}'', war-crazed Coach Hedge is sailing a ship while singing the [[Pokémon Theme]], replacing the [[Gotta catch 'em all!]] catchphrase with "Gotta ''Kill'' 'Em All".
* In the tenth book in the ''{{wp|Jigsaw Jones Mysteries}}'' series, ''The Case of the Ghostwriter'', Stringbean hires Jigsaw to take the case by offering him bubblegum, a {{wp|Darth Maul}} pencil eraser, a rubber band ball, $0.36, and a {{tcg|Diglett}} card. Jigsaw calls Diglett too common, so Stringbean instead offers a First Edition {{tcg|Gloom}} card, which he accepts.
* A ''{{wp|Mother Goose and Grimm}}'' [http://www.grimmy.com/images/MGG_Archive/MGG_2014/MGG-2014-05-31.gif comic strip from May 31, 2014] featured a pair of Pikachu. It portrayed how the species got its name in a satirical manner.
* On the cover of the fourth issue of {{wp|Archie Comics}} third {{wp|Sabrina the Teenage Witch}} comic book series, Sabrina and her friend Chloe are playing a card game when bully Slugloaf walks by saying "Those [[Pokémon Trading Card Game|trading cards]] are so lame! There's no such thing as Pocket Monsters!" Sabrina magically makes a large monster appear from his back pocket in response.
* In Volume 5, Chapter 1 of the ''{{wp|Sword Art Online}}'' light novel series, when discussing possible ways for someone to shoot a bullet in virtual reality and kill someone else in real life, Kirito mentions an instance in which animation effects in an [[EP038|episode]] of a certain {{pkmn|anime}} caused children across Japan to become sick. This reference was not retained in Episode 1 of the anime adaptation's second season, which directly adapts the chapter.
* Mangaka {{wp|Ume Aoki}} frequently represents herself in her works as "Ume-sensei", a crude chibi representation of herself dressed as a {{p|Metapod}}. Ume-sensei most notably appears in Aoki's famed manga ''{{wp|Hidamari Sketch}}''.
* In "What She Does Next Will Astound You", the third novel based on the BBC sci-fi drama {{wp|Class (2016 TV series)|Class}}, one of the dares on the website truthordare.com is to "play ''[[Pokémon GO]]'' underwater".
* In a ''{{wp|Zits}}'' [http://comicskingdom.com/zits/2015-05-22 comic from May 22, 2015], Jeremy asks his mother if she has seen his [[Pokémon Trading Card Game|Pokémon cards]] and freaks out when she said she threw them out years ago. He tells her in the last panel that he and Pierce planned to ignite them.
* A ''{{wp|B.C. (comic strip)|B.C.}}'' [https://www.gocomics.com/bc/2018/10/06 strip from October 6, 2018] has a clairvoyant tell of various species going extinct. When he clarifies that it does not apply to all of them, the scene zooms out to show a {{p|Charizard}}.
* In ''{{wp|Monica's Gang}}'', Pokémon is parodied in several stories, usually referred to by the characters by the name "Pokemão".
** One of the stories is ''Pequemônica'' (Globo's Mônica #163), where the characters find an alien box similar to a {{i|Poké Ball}}, from which they release several monsters belonging to an alien villain similar to [[Ash Ketchum]], and the characters end up being transformed into little monsters with powers. Another story is ''Pokecão'' (Globo's Mônica #167), where the character Glu accidentally ends up changing to resemble Pikachu after being struck by lightning in the tail. The story also features dogs parodying [[Jessie]] and [[James]] and a scene with the writers dressed as Pokémon.
** ''Avaturma'' (2011), a comic book story parodying ''{{wp|Avatar (2009 film)|Avatar}}'', includes several blue characters from games, movies, animated series, etc. {{p|Squirtle}} and {{p|Totodile}} are seen in this comic.
* In ''Solitaire'' by {{wp|Alice Oseman}}, the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] was played between the protagonist, Tori Spring, and her childhood friend, Lucas Ryan, when they were young. When they meet up many years later, they talk about how they use to play as an example of their lost connection.
* A {{wp|Donald Duck}} comic drawn by {{wp|Vicar (cartoonist)|Vicar}}, originally published on January 27, 2000 in Denmark as ''[https://inducks.org/story.php?c=D+99160&search= Kampkræene kommer]'' (''Battle Beasties'' in the English version), is a reference to Pokémon. In this story, {{wp|Huey, Dewey, and Louie}} become fascinated by a new franchise called Battle Beasties that is the hit of the moment. Like Pokémon, this franchise includes video games, trading cards, and a TV show. They later discover that creatures are real and accidentally end up freeing them all over {{wp|Donald Duck universe#Duckburg|Duckburg}}. The story received a sequel on April 17, 2001, called ''[https://inducks.org/story.php?c=D+2000-084&search= Kampen om kræene]'' (''Battle for the Battle Beasties'' in the English version). This story, possibly as a reference to [[Generation II]], introduced some creatures not seen in the first story. In some translations, including Italian and Portuguese, the creatures are referred to by titles more similar to Pokémon, like Kukemon and Bobomon.
* In chapter 980 of the {{wp|One Piece}} manga series, Eustass Kid is seen attacking Scratchmen Apoo with a large arm made of scrap metal. Two {{p|Meltan}} can be seen embedded in Kid's mechanical arm.

List of references to Pokémon in popular culture

Antiyonder: /* Books, comics, and manga */

{{PA}}
{{fan speculation}}
This is a list of '''references to Pokémon in popular culture''', instances where television shows, music and video clips, or other non-[[Pokémon]] media explicitly mention the Pokémon franchise (or even a specific {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}). This list includes only ''notable'' references, where they must either refer to specific details of the Pokémon franchise, or else play an important role in the work making the reference. The following list is divided by the medium of the work, then sorted alphabetically by the name of the work making the reference.

References that simply mention the Pokémon franchise, use a Pokémon catchphrase, or have a Pokémon character or item briefly appear in the background or as a visual gag are listed separately on the [[list of background references to Pokémon]]. They are also distinct from parodies, which are listed separately on the [[list of Pokémon parodies]]. This list also excludes mere resemblances between character designs, non-fiction shows mentioning the existence of Pokémon, or news shows discussing Pokémon-related news, as well as game show questions about Pokémon.

===Science===
* '''{{wp|Aerodactylus}} scolopaciceps''' was renamed from ''Pterodactylus scolopaciceps'' in October 2014 due to a newly discovered {{wp|taxon}}omic separation. The name refers to {{p|Aerodactyl}}, a Pokémon based on various pterosaur species because it "seemed a pertinent name for a genus which has been synonymous with ''Pterodatylus'' for so long due to a combination of features".<ref>[http://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0110646#s5 PLOS ONE: The Problem of Cryptic Pterosaur Taxa in Early Ontogeny]</ref>

* '''Pokemon''' was the temporary name of gene {{wp|Zbtb7}}. The name officially stood for "POK erythroid myeloid ontogenic factor", likely as a reference in the form of a {{wp|backronym}}.

This strip was released weeks after the release of {{game|Black and White|s}}.
* In {{wp|Rick Riordan}}'s book ''{{wp|The Mark of Athena}}'', war-crazed Coach Hedge is sailing a ship while singing the [[Pokémon Theme]], replacing the [[Gotta catch 'em all!]] catchphrase with "Gotta ''Kill'' 'Em All".
* In the tenth book in the ''{{wp|Jigsaw Jones Mysteries}}'' series, ''The Case of the Ghostwriter'', Stringbean hires Jigsaw to take the case by offering him bubblegum, a {{wp|Darth Maul}} pencil eraser, a rubber band ball, $0.36, and a {{tcg|Diglett}} card. Jigsaw calls Diglett too common, so Stringbean instead offers a First Edition {{tcg|Gloom}} card, which he accepts.
* A ''{{wp|Mother Goose and Grimm}}'' [http://www.grimmy.com/images/MGG_Archive/MGG_2014/MGG-2014-05-31.gif comic strip from May 31, 2014] featured a pair of Pikachu. It portrayed how the species got its name in a satirical manner.

* In Volume 5, Chapter 1 of the ''{{wp|Sword Art Online}}'' light novel series, when discussing possible ways for someone to shoot a bullet in virtual reality and kill someone else in real life, Kirito mentions an instance in which animation effects in an [[EP038|episode]] of a certain {{pkmn|anime}} caused children across Japan to become sick. This reference was not retained in Episode 1 of the anime adaptation's second season, which directly adapts the chapter.
* Mangaka {{wp|Ume Aoki}} frequently represents herself in her works as "Ume-sensei", a crude chibi representation of herself dressed as a {{p|Metapod}}. Ume-sensei most notably appears in Aoki's famed manga ''{{wp|Hidamari Sketch}}''.
* In "What She Does Next Will Astound You", the third novel based on the BBC sci-fi drama {{wp|Class (2016 TV series)|Class}}, one of the dares on the website truthordare.com is to "play ''[[Pokémon GO]]'' underwater".

* A ''{{wp|B.C. (comic strip)|B.C.}}'' [https://www.gocomics.com/bc/2018/10/06 strip from October 6, 2018] has a clairvoyant tell of various species going extinct. When he clarifies that it does not apply to all of them, the scene zooms out to show a {{p|Charizard}}.
* In ''{{wp|Monica's Gang}}'', Pokémon is parodied in several stories, usually referred to by the characters by the name "Pokemão".
** One of the stories is ''Pequemônica'' (Globo's Mônica #163), where the characters find an alien box similar to a {{i|Poké Ball}}, from which they release several monsters belonging to an alien villain similar to [[Ash Ketchum]], and the characters end up being transformed into little monsters with powers. Another story is ''Pokecão'' (Globo's Mônica #167), where the character Glu accidentally ends up changing to resemble Pikachu after being struck by lightning in the tail. The story also features dogs parodying [[Jessie]] and [[James]] and a scene with the writers dressed as Pokémon.
** ''Avaturma'' (2011), a comic book story parodying ''{{wp|Avatar (2009 film)|Avatar}}'', includes several blue characters from games, movies, animated series, etc. {{p|Squirtle}} and {{p|Totodile}} are seen in this comic.
* In ''Solitaire'' by {{wp|Alice Oseman}}, the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] was played between the protagonist, Tori Spring, and her childhood friend, Lucas Ryan, when they were young. When they meet up many years later, they talk about how they use to play as an example of their lost connection.

In this story, {{wp|Huey, Dewey, and Louie}} become fascinated by a new franchise called Battle Beasties that is the hit of the moment. Like Pokémon, this franchise includes video games, trading cards, and a TV show. They later discover that creatures are real and accidentally end up freeing them all over {{wp|Donald Duck universe#Duckburg|Duckburg}}. The story received a sequel on April 17, 2001, called ''[https://inducks.org/story.php?c=D+2000-084&search= Kampen om kræene]'' (''Battle for the Battle Beasties'' in the English version). This story, possibly as a reference to [[Generation II]], introduced some creatures not seen in the first story. In some translations, including Italian and Portuguese, the creatures are referred to by titles more similar to Pokémon, like Kukemon and Bobomon.
* In chapter 980 of the {{wp|One Piece}} manga series, Eustass Kid is seen attacking Scratchmen Apoo with a large arm made of scrap metal. Two {{p|Meltan}} can be seen embedded in Kid's mechanical arm.
*In the first issue of ''Bill and Ted Are Doomed'', Death is shown to be trying to get all figures of ''Monster Hoarder'' toys, specifically the Charcoalizard ([[Charizard]]). He is later shown to have merely obtained an Occultikarp ([[Magikarp]]).

* ''{{wp|Death Battle}}'' has six battles featuring Pokémon:
** The first was [[Ash's Pikachu]] vs. {{wp|Blanka}}.

** The third was a battle between [[Red (game)|Red]] and {{p|Charizard}} against Tai and Agumon of ''{{wp|Digimon}}'' fame; the battle ended in Tai's favor, due to the superior bond between Tai and Agumon as opposed to Red and Charizard.<ref>[http://screwattack.roosterteeth.com/episode/death-battle-season-2-32 Death Battle: Pokémon vs. Digimon]</ref>
** The Fourth was a battle between {{p|Mewtwo}} and {{wp|Shadow the Hedgehog}}; the winner was Mewtwo, due to having a wide range of abilities from reading minds to being able to heal itself, as well as using it's knowledge against Shadow. Mewtwo also appeared in a joke episode against Vegeta of ''{{wp|Dragon Ball}}'' where the winner was the Internet.
** The Fifth was a battle between {{p|Lucario}} and Renamon of ''{{wp|Digimon}}''; the winner was Lucario, due to a wider arsenal and greater physical strength.<ref>[https://roosterteeth.com/episode/death-battle-season-4-lucario-vs-renamon Lucario VS Renamon - DEATH BATTLE! - Rooster Teeth]</ref>

* In the third installment of SamBakZa's ''{{wp|There She Is!!}}'' series, the character Doki chases and tries various methods of capturing a fleeing Nabi. When all of her attempts fail, she uses a [[Poké Ball]], throwing it at Nabi's head and knocking him down.

* TeamFourStar's ''Dragon Ball Z Abridged'' contains a running joke in Season 1 where Nappa calls Chiaotzu a "Pokémon". He tries to throw a [[Poké Ball]] to catch him, but this fails, as Vegeta tells him he has damage him significantly first.
** In the stinger at the end of Episode 47, Imperfect Cell is shown "[[Evolution|evolving]]" into Semi-Perfect Cell, in the same Game Boy style of a Pokémon evolving in {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, complete with background music.

A man tells her that she can't play Pokémon Sword during the chess tournament, although an exception would only be possible for Pokémon Ruby. Yuna's opponent Logan appears hopelessly unable to win against her, and desperately tells the man to let her play as much Pokémon as she wants.

Appendix:A Sneak Peek at Pokémon

2019-05-15T16:59:27Z

Antiyonder:

The following is a transcript of ''[[A Sneak Peek at Pokémon]]'', one of the first commercials that aired in America to promote Pokémon's arrival.

==Script==
'''{{Ash}}''': You've been selected to receive this sneak peek about a phenomenon called [[Pokémon]]. A [[Pokémon anime|hit TV show]], a [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Game Boy game]], and loads of other cool things that are about to take America by storm!

'''Chorus''': [[Gotta catch 'em all]], gotta catch 'em all!

'''{{an|Brock}}''': A sneak peek at Pokémon.

''(music begins)''

'''Hillary Ketchum''': Well, it all starts with the TV show, September 7. My nephew, Ash, he [[EP001|just turned 10]], is the show's star. His dream is to become a [[Pokémon Master]]. This is no easy task. First of all, Ash has to capture all of these little Pokémon things. And they're pretty tricky.

''(segment from [[EP003|Ash Catches a Pokémon]] plays)''

'''Hillary Ketchum''': Each one is totally different from the other, and—are you ready for this?—there are 150 of them! And you [[gotta catch 'em all]]!

''(segment from the [[Pokérap]] plays)''

'''Brock''': Wait! There's more!

'''Trey''': Well, there's {{an|Brock}}. He's a good guy. Ash challenged him once at the [[Gym]] in [[Pewter City]]. But now they're buds and they're on the journey together.

'''Troy''': And then, [[Team Rocket]], they're bad—really bad.

''(segment from [[EP006|Clefairy and the Moon Stone]] plays)''

'''Troy''': They want to steal {{AP|Pikachu}} away from Ash to fulfill their evil [[Giovanni|boss]]'s diabolical plan for total domination.

''(segment with dialogue exclusive to the sneak peek plays with a scene from [[EP015|Battle Aboard the St. Anne]])''

'''Giovanni''': Team Rocket, Blast off at the speed of light. Surrender now or prepare to fight. Attention!!!

'''[[Jessie]] and [[James]]''': At your service.

Meowth- Meowth too sir.

'''Giovanni''': Everything is proceeding exactly as I have foreseen. The Pokémon craze is sweeping the world. I want the three of you to catch the rarest of all Pokémon, Ash Ketchum's Pikachu.

'''Meowth''': We've been trying.

'''Giovanni''': Ooh then try harder. And you better steal Pikachu away from them soon, because the tv show is about to launch. And the Game Boy game, and the toys, card game, comic books. Soon the whole world will be looking for Pikachu. Does anyone else know of our plans?

'''James''': Only a bunch of kids who were lucky enough to get their hands on this video..

'''Giovanni''': Well if they don't get the Game Boy game or watch the tv show, they'll never get Pikachu (finishing with a smirk and evil laugh).

'''Brock''': Pika-who?

'''Mr. Carlson''': I was glad to find out that Ash's first Pokémon was in fact little Pikachu. And OK, Pikachu doesn't like being transported in the [[Poké Ball]], and it doesn't talk much, and when it does, all it can say is Pikachu.

''(segment from [[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]] plays)''

'''Mr. Carlson''': Don't be deceived. These little cheeks unleash electric potential and electromotive forces equal to the difference of a constant current of 1000 amperes when the power dissipates between points—well, let's just say that little Pikachu can zap you.

''(another segment from Pokémon - I Choose You! plays)''

'''Mr. Carlson''': What I like best about Ash and Pikachu, though, is how they bonded—[[Friendship|loyalty]]. Now there's a quality you can't teach in the classroom.

''(third segment from Pokémon - I Choose You! plays)''

'''Brock''': Who's the {{an|Misty|redhead}}?

'''Amy''': Misty met Ash when he took her [[Bicycle|bike]] to get Pikachu to a [[Pokémon Center|hospital]]. But it got burned to a crisp by one of Pikachu's electrical bolts. So now she's on the journey with them. But I don't see the point. Misty doesn't need Ash. She's got skills of her own. You should see her do {{pkmn|battle}} with her {{t|Water}} Pokémon. She really knows her strategy. She's even brave enough to take on Team Rocket all by herself.

''(segment from [[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]] plays)''

'''Brock''': The strategy.

'''Mr. Carlson''': To become a great trainer, Ash has to capture all of these amazing Pokémon creatures. And there's a lot he's got to know in order to catch 'em all.

'''Chorus''': Gotta catch 'em all!

'''Mr. Carlson''': That's why [[Professor Oak]] gave him his first [[Pokédex]]. It's the newest model with the latest digital technology that will give Ash instant Pokémon information with greater clarity and better reception than ever before. Hmm. I need to upgrade my model.

''(another segment exclusive to the sneak peek plays)''

'''Trey''': {{p|Geodude}}s are way tough.

'''Mr. Carlson''': I'm partial to the {{t|Fire}}-element monsters.

'''Amy''': This is a [[Poké Ball]].

''(the segment continues)''

''(a segment from [[EP004|Challenge of the Samurai]] plays)''

'''Mr. Carlson''': I like the fact that capturing a Pokémon takes real skill. Real strategy. And Ash has always shown determination in class. Do I think he's got what it takes to be a Pokémon Master? Yes. Yes I do. I think Ash can cut it.

''(the sneak-peek exclusive segment continues)''

''(a promo about [[Nintendo Power]] magazine and the Pokémon games plays)''

'''Troy''': It's time to duel, Trey!

'''Trey''': Prepare to lose, Troy!

'''Brock''': And that's not all...

'''Hillary Ketchum''': This is Pocket Pikachu. I can exercise with it, give it gifts, even watch it sleep! I know, there are 150 Pokémon out there. But is there really one more adorable than Pikachu? I don't think so!

'''Mr. Carlson''': This is a [[Pokémon Trading Card Game|Pokémon strategy card game]]. Playing this game can help you furnish your Pokémon training skills, and then show them off in battle with others.

'''Amy''': I'm collecting the Pokémon bean bags and toys. I can't wait for the [[manga|comic books]]!

'''Brock''': Stay tuned!

'''Trey''': You gotta watch Monday through Friday starting September 7.

'''Hillary''': And be sure to look on your video's mailing label for the Pokémon TV show time and station. And—oh, that must be the PokéCar. And be sure to watch out for it too! Ten PokéCars will be cruising around giving away lots of free stuff! You can track where they are on your computer.

'''Chorus''': Gotta catch 'em all! Gotta catch 'em all!

'''Mr. Carlson''': Remember, it's about strategy!

'''Chorus''': Gotta catch 'em all! Gotta catch 'em all!

'''Amy''': Remember, you gotta catch 'em all! Chorus: Gotta catch 'em all, Pokémon!

History of the Pokémon world

Antiyonder: /* Trivia */ Couldn't think of where else to put this info, so if it needs removing, please suggest to me an alternative.

{{fan speculation}}
{{incomplete|2=ORAS stuff, more info on Delta Episode}}
Below is a timeline of events in the '''history of the Pokémon world''', primarily those established in the [[canon]] of the [[Pokémon games]] since these apply most to other forms of canon. There is also a separate [[Timeline of events in the anime|timeline of events for the anime series]] as well as [[Timeline of events in Pokémon Adventures|one for Pokémon Adventures]].

There are many stories and legends surrounding the history of the [[Pokémon world]]. It is not entirely clear if legends are true or not, but there are many hints in the games, anime and manga that suggest that they are.

Please note that the below timeline is based on speculation and possible information from different aspects of the Pokémon franchise.

==Timeline==
===Beginning of the {{pkmn|universe}}===
This information is based primarily on [[Sinnoh myths|the mythology]] of both the [[Hoenn]] and [[Sinnoh]] regions.
[[File:Dialga-Palkia-Giratina.png|thumb|290px|Palkia, Giratina and Dialga]]
* In a vortex of complete chaos and nothingness, a single {{pkmn|Egg}} comes into being, which then hatches into {{p|Arceus}}, the first Pokémon in existence. Arceus then creates {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, and {{p|Giratina}}, giving them power over {{wp|time}}, {{wp|space}}, and {{wp|antimatter}} respectively. Giratina, as punishment for its destructive nature, is sent by Arceus to live in the [[Distortion World]]. Dialga and Palkia then succeed in creating the universe and [[Pokémon world]] and retreat into their own [[dimensions]] afterwards, with a point of access being at the ancient [[Spear Pillar]] in Sinnoh.

* Arceus creates {{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Mesprit}}, and {{p|Azelf}}, giving knowledge, emotion, and willpower to all living things that come into existence in the Pokémon world. The three dive into caves at the bottom of [[Lake Verity]], [[Lake Valor]], and [[Lake Acuity]] in Sinnoh, giving them the name "[[lake guardians]]".

* {{p|Kyogre}} is formed by the pressure in the deep sea trenches, {{p|Groudon}} is formed deep inside the Earth, likely from hardened magma and earth, and {{p|Rayquaza}} is formed by the minerals of the ozone layer. Rayquaza proceeds to fly around in the ozone layer, occasionally coming to rest at [[Sky Pillar]].

*Kyogre and Groudon then proceed to fill the sea and create land, respectively. A chance meeting turns the two into rivals, and a conflict for dominance over the Pokémon world begins. This battle continues until Rayquaza quells it, causing Kyogre and Groudon to retreat to special caverns, where they {{m|rest}} until the events of [[Generation III]] many years later. The {{DL|Legendary artifacts|Red Orb|Red}} and {{DL|Legendary artifacts|Blue Orb}}s are created to prevent the reawakening of Kyogre and Groudon, and are left at [[Mt. Pyre]] for safekeeping. At this time, {{p|Mew}} may have been plentiful and lived in large numbers.
[[File:Legendary titans.png|thumb|200px|The Legendary titans: Regice, Registeel and Regirock]]

* Landmasses such as [[Mt. Coronet]] are created, and {{p|Regigigas}} moves the continents, forming the regions, and creates the three titans, {{p|Regirock}}, {{p|Regice}}, and {{p|Registeel}}, out of clay, ice, and magma, respectively.

* The [[Sinnoh]] region is created around Mt. Coronet. During this violent procedure, [[Stark Mountain]] is created due to shifts in the crust of the world and {{p|Heatran}} is formed in a pool of lava. Arceus creates the {{DL|Legendary artifacts|Adamant Orb|Adamant}}, {{DL|Legendary artifacts|Lustrous Orb|Lustrous}}, and {{DL|Legendary artifacts|Griseous Orb}}s before falling into a deep slumber.

===Prehistory===
This information is based primarily on the study of [[Fossil]]s and other archaeological remains. Some of this information is also based on scientific research.

'''Millions of years before [[Generation I]]:'''

* The earliest known [[Fossil|prehistoric Pokémon]] existed at this time. It is possible that the Mew population may have decreased at this stage, as they slowly gave way to other Pokémon species. The first humans also appeared around this time.

* 300 million years ago: An ancient version of {{p|Genesect}} was born. {{p|Kabuto}} and {{p|Kabutops}} lived in the sea.
** Team Plasma later used {{p|Genesect}}'s DNA to create an infinitely stronger version of it with cybernetic technology.

* 100 million years ago: Species such as {{p|Aerodactyl}}, {{p|Lileep}}, {{p|Cranidos}}, {{p|Shieldon}}, {{p|Tirtouga}}, and {{p|Archen}} were supposedly widespread. They all ultimately went extinct, but not before Archen gave rise to bird Pokémon and Tirtouga gave rise to turtle Pokémon.
** A [[Root Fossil|fossil]] is found millions of years later in Hoenn and revived scientifically by the [[Devon Corporation]].

* 10,000 years ago: During the last Ice Age, the {{p|Mamoswine}} population flourished, then decreased when the Ice Age ended.

* At some point in the distant past, the {{p|Magikarp}} population mutates due to unknown reasons and becomes weaker.

* At some point after the Iron Age, Regigigas is sealed away in the Snowpoint Temple, and Regirock, Regice and Registeel are sealed away at various points across the [[Hoenn]] region after years of human worship.

'''3000 years before [[Generation V]]:'''

* The [[Valuable item#Undella Town|Relic items]] are created.

'''3000 years before [[Generation VI]]:'''

* The Kalos war occurred, the [[ultimate weapon]] was created underneath [[Geosenge Town]], and AZ was given eternal life. This sets a chain of events into motion that leads to the discovery of [[Mega Evolution]].

'''2500 years before [[Generation V]]:'''

* The [[Relic Castle]] is built.

'''2000 years before {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}:'''

* [[Hoenn]] is plagued by meteor showers. A meteor turns the homeplace of the [[Draconid people]] into [[Meteor Falls]].
* The world overflowed with natural energy which {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}}, in their [[Primal Reversion|primal]] forms, fought over. They ravaged the earth and were only calmed by {{p|Rayquaza}} after the Draconid people summoned it using a wish on a meteor at Meteor Falls. The people of Hoenn begin to revere Rayquaza as a saviour.

'''1500 years before [[Generation I]]:'''

* The earliest known system for writing is developed and used at the [[Ruins of Alph]], [[Tanoby Ruins]], and [[Solaceon Ruins]]. Archaeologists are currently unsure whether the nearly identical {{p|Unown}} preceded or succeeded the writing system, but it is assumed they share some sort of connection.
* The {{p|Farfetch'd}} population decreases due to overhunting.

'''1000 years before {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}:'''

* A thousand years after the events at Meteor Falls, a meteor struck Hoenn, creating Sootopolis City. {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} reawakened to fight over the wellspring of primal energy which came from it. The people of Hoenn wished on {{p|Rayquaza}} to save them, and using the meteor, Rayquaza performed the world's first [[Mega Evolution]] and calmed the two. [[Sky Pillar]] was built in Rayquaza's honour, and the [[Draconid people]] promised to pass down the prophecy that in 1000 years the meteor would return - causing the events of the [[Delta Episode]].

'''800 years before {{pkmn|X and Y}}:'''

* {{p|Xerneas}} released life energy throughout the Kalos region and fled to a forest, where it went to sleep in the form of a tree.
* {{p|Yveltal}} absorbed life energy throughout the Kalos region and fled to the mountains, where went to sleep in the form of a cocoon.

A revived Team Rocket, using plans formulated three years prior, enrages many {{p|Gyarados}}, including a [[Red Gyarados|red one]], at the [[Lake of Rage]] as they proceed to take over the [[Goldenrod Radio Tower]] in a desperate attempt to contact Giovanni, their former leader. They are defeated, and the new leader vows to never again re-form Team Rocket, and Ethan/Kris/Lyra continues to gather Johto's Badges, eventually gaining all eight and traveling to the [[Pokémon League]] at [[Indigo Plateau]] in Kanto. After defeating the Elite Four and their Champion, Lance, Ethan/Kris/Lyra then heads to the Kanto region to challenge its eight Gyms, which have changed from three years prior. After gaining all eight of their Badges, for a total of sixteen, [[Professor Oak]] declares him/her ready to travel to Mt. Silver, where he/she meets and challenges {{ga|Red}}.

** {{ga|Hilbert}}/{{ga|Hilda}} along with their friends [[Cheren]] and [[Bianca]] receive their very first Pokémon in the bedroom of {{ga|Hilbert}}/{{ga|Hilda}}'s house in [[Nuvema Town]] from [[Professor Juniper]]. The three decide to leave Nuvema Town and go on a journey across their region of [[Unova]], with Cheren wanting to learn as much about every kind of Pokémon possible and Bianca going against the wishes of her dad. Upon arriving in [[Accumula Town]] they encounter the nefarious [[Team Plasma]] who announce their plans for Pokémon liberation to separate Pokémon from humans. Hilbert/Hilda then battle Team Plasma's leader, a mysterious man known only as [[N]] who claims Pokémon are his friends. Hilbert/Hilda make a journey across the land of Unova challenging all eight Gyms and earning all eight Badges. After earning the eighth Badge, they travel to the {{un|Pokémon League}} where they defeat the Elite Four. Upon defeating the Elite Four, they discover that N has already defeated the Champion [[Alder]] and promptly summons his castle, destroying the Pokémon League Castle. [[Ghetsis]], one of the members of the [[Seven Sages]] reveals that he had the plan to separate people and Pokémon so that he could be the only person in the whole world with Pokémon. After defeating N and Ghetsis with {{p|Reshiram}}/{{p|Zekrom}} N becomes sorry for all his wrongdoing and flies off to distant lands on his dragon of legend. Hilbert/Hilda, Cheren, and Bianca continue their journey in Unova and get recruited by an undercover officer codenamed [[Looker]] to discover and arrest the remaining six of the Seven Sages. After the arrest of all six, Hilbert/Hilda returns to the Pokémon League, re-defeats the Elite Four, then challenges and defeats Alder, becoming Champion of Unova.

'''Between {{2v2|Black|White}}, {{2v2|Black|White|2}} and {{pkmn|X and Y}}''':
* Hilbert/Hilda leaves Unova with his/her Dragon to look for N.
* Bianca officially becomes Professor Juniper's assistant.
* The Pokémon distribution of Unova changes drastically.
* [[Cilan]], [[Chili]], [[Cress]], [[Lenora]], and [[Brycen]] retire as Gym Leaders to train.
* Cheren, [[Roxie]], and [[Marlon]] become Gym Leaders.
* Alder retires as the Champion, and [[Iris]] takes his place.
* Five of the Seven Sages leave Team Plasma, and Ghetsis and [[Zinzolin]] form a new Team Plasma solely dedicated to conquering Unova.
* A landslide seals off {{rt|10|Unova}} and a majority of {{OBP|Victory Road|Black and White}}, forcing another {{OBP|Victory Road|Black 2 and White 2}} to be built. Another landslide seals off [[Challenger's Cave]].
* Significant construction occurs in Unova:
** The [[Cold Storage]] in the south of [[Driftveil City]] is replaced by the [[Pokémon World Tournament]].
** A section of the mountain near [[Undella Town]] is constructed into a new town called [[Lentimas Town]]
** {{tc|The Riches}} house in Undella Town is demolished, with new villas built in the town.
** The [[Marine Tube]] is built between Undella Town and [[Humilau City]], connecting the two.
** The [[Castelia Sewers]] are made accessible on Thumb Pier, which lead to Castelia's park, or when flooded, to Castelia's back alley.
* {{ga|Calem}}/{{ga|Serena}} moves to [[Vaniville Town]] in [[Kalos]] with their mother.

'''Two years after {{2v2|Black|White}}''':
* The events of {{2v2|Black|White|2}} and {{pkmn|X and Y}}:
** {{ga|Nate}}/{{ga|Rosa}} receives his/her first Pokémon from Bianca in his/her hometown of [[Aspertia City]]. Together with [[Hugh]], who hopes to take back his sister's Purrloin from Team Plasma, the duo takes on the new lineup of Gyms in the Unova region. After earning their seventh badge from [[Drayden]], Team Plasma attacks [[Opelucid City]], covering the city in unbreakable ice. The [[Shadow Triad]] takes the opportunity to steal the {{key|V|DNA Splicers}} from [[Opelucid Gym]]. Nate/Rosa and Hugh chase Team Plasma to [[Humilau City]], where after earning their final badge, they confront [[Zinzolin]], [[Colress]], and the Shadow Triad at the [[Giant Chasm]]. After the Triad releases Hugh's sister's Purrloin, now a {{p|Liepard}}, Hugh tells Nate/Rosa to go ahead and confront Team Plasma's leader, Ghetsis. Just before Ghetsis freezes Nate/Rosa alive with {{p|Kyurem}}'s {{m|Glaciate}}, [[N]] flies in on {{p|Reshiram}}/{{p|Zekrom}}, saving him/her. However, Ghetsis uses Kyurem's power to turn Reshiram/Zekrom back into an orb, then uses the DNA Splicers to turn Kyurem into [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Kyurem|Black/White Kyurem]]. Nate/Rosa knocks out Kyurem, causing the two Dragon Pokémon to separate, then defeats an enraged Ghetsis. Thankful, N suggests that Nate/Rosa proceed to the Pokémon League. Heeding his words, Nate/Rosa ascend Victory Road, defeats the Elite Four, and emerges victorious in battle with the new Champion, Iris. After returning home, Hugh's sister thanks the player for helping her big brother, and tells Nate/Rosa that she has been dreaming of a {{p|Zoroark}} calling Nate/Rosa's name. At Hugh's suggestion, Nate/Rosa returns to Victory Road, finding a Zoroark that leads him/her to the ruins of [[N's Castle]], where N and Reshiram/Zekrom challenge them to battle. After being defeated, N says goodbye to his dragon and releases it by asking it to turn back into an orb to give to Nate/Rosa. Nate/Rosa climbs to the top of [[Dragonspiral Tower]], and faces {{p|Reshiram}}/{{p|Zekrom}} again, this time, in an attempt to capture it.
**{{ga|Calem}}/{{ga|Serena}} leave his/her home in [[Vaniville Town]] meeting [[Shauna]] and {{tt|{{ga|Serena}}/{{ga|Calem}}|The player character not chosen.}} who invite them to join them for a meeting in [[Aquacorde Town]]. {{ga|Calem}}, {{ga|Serena}} and [[Shauna]] receive their first Pokémon from [[Tierno]] and a Pokédex from [[Trevor]] on behalf of [[Professor Sycamore]]. After delivering a letter to his/her {{kal|Grace|Mom}} from Professor Sycamore, they head on an adventure traveling across [[Kalos]] challenging eight Gyms in order to earn eight Badges to then challenge the {{kal|Pokémon League}}. Along their journey they come into contact with [[Team Flare]], an organization whose goal is to create a "beautiful and better" world while making money. They try to do this by stealing [[fossils]] from [[Glittering Cave]], siphoning electricity from the [[Kalos Power Plant]], stealing the Pokéballs from the [[Poké Ball Factory]] in [[Laverre City]], and attempting to agitate and capture an {{p|Abomasnow}}. Calem/Serena also encounters a mysterious giant called [[AZ]] on several occasions, first being on [[Kalos Route 13]]. After earning their seventh badge from [[Olympia]], Calem/Serena are contacted by [[Lysandre]], a man introduced by Professor Sycamore, who reveals himself to be the leader of Team Flare and his intention to use the "[[ultimate weapon]]" to eliminate all life in the world. Calem/Serena battle Lysandre first in [[Lysandre Labs]] and again in the [[Team Flare Secret HQ]], before making their way down to the basement where they find {{p|Xerneas}}{{sup/6|X}}/{{p|Yveltal}}{{sup/6|Y}} and battle them, before battling against Lysandre once more. Even though Lysandre is defeated, and Calem/Serena and their friends reason with him, he still fires the ultimate weapon. The blast the weapon omits destroys it and buries Lysandre and the HQ, ultimately disbanding Team Flare. Calem/Serena then heads to the Pokémon League where he/she defeats the [[Elite Four]], becoming {{pkmn|Champion}} of [[Kalos]]. After becoming Champion, Looker contacts {{ga|Calem}}/{{ga|Serena}} to help him fight crime in Lumiose City.

==Trivia==
* The chronology of the games was confirmed by [[Toshinobu Matsumiya]] on Twitter in May 2014.<ref>[http://archive.today/D9iPz archive.today] (archived from [https://twitter.com/matsumiyan/status/464052839870787584 the original])</ref>
* In {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, [[Zinnia]] suggests the existence of another Hoenn region, indicating a {{wp|multiverse}} with parallel timelines.
** Additionally [[Maxie]] or [[Archie]] (in ''Alpha Sapphire'' or ''Omega Ruby'' respectively) when met at the [[Battle Resort]] consider the possibility that they would have been the one to endanger the planet in an alternate timeline.

Antiyonder: /* List of volumes */

The following is a list of all English language home video releases of the ''[[S03|Pokémon: The Johto Journeys]]'' season of the {{pkmn|anime}} in {{pmin|the United States}} and {{pmin|Canada}}. The series was released on both VHS and DVD formats. The ''Johto Journeys'' North American releases were published by [[VIZ Media]] and distributed by {{wp|Pioneer Entertainment}} (now known as {{wp|Geneon}}), as VIZ Media was not yet distributing movies by themselves. The series was originally released only as individual volumes. However, a boxset has now been released on November 10, 2015.

{{spoilers}}

==Blurb==

A Pokémon Fortune Telling boom turns out to be a Team Rocket plot to steal Pokémon from local trainers. The engineers of this plot, though, are not the Team Rocket regulars, but by the formidable Butch and Cassidy.

==Plot==
{{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}}, {{an|Brock}}, {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{TP|Misty|Togepi}} arrive in a new city and head towards the [[Pokémon Center]]. There they encounter a group of children who tell them about the newest fad: Pokémon Fortune Telling, an activity similar to {{wp|horoscope}}s in which people are assigned a Pokémon personality type based on their birthdate. Eager to find out her Pokémon type Misty drags her companions along to a local {{pkmn|Day Care}} that has been giving out copies of the Fortune Telling book. Arriving at the Day Care, the owners explain to Misty that it's considered good luck to own the Pokémon that corresponds to your personality type. The Day Care center has a booming business in matching Trainers with their Pokémon type and frequently holds Pokémon for Trainers until a suitable trade can be made.

After getting a copy of the book, Misty reveals each of her companion's Pokémon types. Ash is listed as a {{p|Bellsprout}} type, while Brock is an {{p|Onix}} type. Misty eagerly looks up her own type, but is shocked to see that she's listed as a {{p|Gyarados}} type. Ash tells her that it's nothing to get worked up about, but he is unable to stop Misty's growing anger. Traveling back to the Pokémon Center the group falls into one of {{TRT}}'s pitfall traps, but an angry Misty easily climbs out and sends them "blasting off again". Upon landing, Team Rocket collects themselves and notices that they've unwittingly obtained Misty's fortune telling book. [[Jessie]] looks at it and finds that she's an {{p|Eevee}} type. {{MTR}} tries to look himself up, but Jessie reminds him that as an actual Pokémon his type should be glaringly obvious. She then reads [[James]]'s type, and is shocked to see that he's a {{p|Moltres}}. Initially skeptical, a series of bizarre coincidences soon convince James that the book can actually tell his future. Taking its words that Moltres type will "soar above the others" literally, he begins to see himself as unbeatable, and quickly appoints himself the new leader of Team Rocket. Impressed with his sudden shift in personality, Jessie and Meowth decide to follow his lead.

James leads them to the Day Care, planning on using his Moltres powers to steal every Pokémon inside. He attempts to intimidate the Day Care's owners, but is surprised when they reveal themselves to be none other than fellow members of [[Team Rocket]] [[Cassidy]] and [[Butch]], who quickly capture and lock up the Rocket trio. Tied up inside the Day Care James once again surprises his companions by easily breaking out of his bonds and clearing an escape route. Leading them out of the Day Care he begins to plan their revenge.

Meanwhile Misty continues to stew over her Pokémon type. When she overhears Brock talking about how Gyarados suits her she decides to return to the Day Care and demand an explanation from its owners, dragging Brock and Ash along with her. Entering the Day Care, they see that the front desk is empty and decide to look for the owners in the back rooms. There they see all of the Pokémon in cages and overhear a conversation between Butch, Cassidy, and {{an|Giovanni}}. Realizing that the entire Day Care is another Rocket scheme the group decides to free the captured Pokémon. Unfortunately they are quickly discovered by Butch and Cassidy who begin to battle them with their {{DL|Cassidy|Raticate}} and {{p|Primeape}}.

Suddenly Jessie and Meowth appear by driving a crane through the wall. To everyone's surprise James' comes flying in on the crane dressed in a Moltres suit. Declaring himself the "flame that burns brightest" he announces his intention to steal all of the Pokémon in the Day Care as well as those that belong to the "[[twerp]]s". He calls out {{TP|James|Victreebel}} and this time doesn't allow it to munch on his head, instead quickly bringing it into line and unexpectedly managing to defeat Raticate with it. Unfortunately James's ego is quickly shot down when Butch and Cassidy reveal that their entire fortune book was just part of their scam. Depressed that he's not actually a Moltres type James quickly reverts back to his old self forcing Jessie to start battling with {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}}. However Wobbuffet alone isn't enough and Primeape quickly sends Jessie, James, Meowth, and their Pokémon "blasting off". Taking advantage of the battle Misty, Ash, and Brock go searching for the keys to the Pokémon cages but are quickly cornered by Butch and Cassidy.

Butch and Cassidy begin battling but are defeated by the combined efforts of {{TP|Misty|Poliwhirl}}, {{AP|Totodile}} and Pikachu. A quick call to [[Officer Jenny]] and the two Rockets are once again on their way to prison. While talking with Jenny, Misty notices that she has an official Pokémon fortune telling book, and uses the opportunity to check out her real type. Elsewhere Jessie finds the same book, and decides to see what James' actually is. Neither Misty nor James's real type is revealed though, as the episode ends before they can state it.

==Major events==
* [[Butch]] and [[Cassidy]] appear again.
* Butch is revealed to own a {{p|Primeape}}.
* [[James's Victreebel]] is revealed to know {{m|Stun Spore}}.

* Up until the November 10, 2015 DVD release of ''Pokémon The Johto Journey: The Complete Collection'', this episode, along with ''[[EP156|The Psychic Sidekicks!]]'', wasn't released on [[List of English language The Johto Journeys home video releases (Region 1)|Region 1 VHS or DVD]] much like the lost episode ''[[EP018|Beauty and the Beach]]''.
** Both the {{pmin|Portugal|European Portuguese}} and the {{pmin|Spain|European Spanish}} versions of this episode and ''[[EP156|The Psychic Sidekicks]]'' were released by Salvat, the company that distributes DVD versions of the episodes in the Iberian Peninsula. Both of these episodes were also included in the Australian [[S03|season 3]] box set.
* This is the final episode of the third season, ''[[S03|Pokémon: The Johto Journeys]]''.
**This is also the last episode of the English dub to feature a [[Pokémon_Karaokémon|music video segment]].
**This is the last episode with the original title card in the dub (in the Japanese version, it was still used until ''[[EP191|The Dunsparce Deception]]'').
**This is the last episode in the dub where the episode starts only after the opening sequence.
* This episode contains one of the few occasions when a character other than Cassidy gets Butch's name right straight away—Brock identifies him correctly when they discover the Center was a fake.

===Errors===
*After Team Rocket gets blasted away by Cassidy's Raticate, Victreebel disappears.

{{spoilers}}

==Blurb==

Our heroes come to a town whose residents all raise Psychic Pokémon to repel the Ghost Pokémon that lurk nearby. Soon thereafter, Team Rocket makes its appearance in a Ghost Pokémon machine impervious to Psychic attacks, and begins to steal all the town's Pokémon.

==Plot==
{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} are walking through a wood, and notice a sign that warns about {{t|Ghost}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in the woods and they should use a {{t|Psychic}} Pokémon to keep them away. They don't have any Psychic types, but {{an|Brock}} remembers that {{TP|Misty|Psyduck}} can use Psychic attacks. {{an|Misty}} releases her Psyduck and tells it to use its {{m|Confusion}} attack if they meet a Ghost Pokémon, but it doesn't seem to understand her.

The bushes rustle and something peeks out. Misty orders Psyduck to use {{m|Confusion}} but it returns to its [[Poké Ball]]. Ash and Brock examine the thing in the bush, it doesn't look like a Ghost-type. A girl walks up and says it isn't, it's her {{p|Girafarig}}'s tail. Ash consults [[Pokédex|Dexter]]: a Girafarig is a {{t|Psychic}} Pokémon with a second face on its tail.

Ash introduces himself. The girl is [[Cherry]]. She picked a Girafarig to train because it's different. It's tradition in her home town to raise Psychic Pokémon because of the ghosts in the woods.

{{TRT}} is listening to this and they make a plan to go to town and steal all the Psychic Pokémon. {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} comes out, annoying [[Jessie]]. {{MTR}} says Psychic types are tricky to catch but he has a secret weapon.

The kids are eating lunch together. Cherry says she wants to compete in the [[Johto League]]. She notices that Ash and {{AP|Pikachu}} know each other very well, and says that it's thought if a Trainer and their Psychic Pokémon are very close they can communicate psychically. She challenges Ash to a {{pkmn|battle}} and he accepts.

Pikachu starts with a {{m|Quick Attack}} that knocks Girafarig down, but Girafarig gets up and uses {{m|Future Sight}}. Nothing seems to happen, so Pikachu continues with {{m|Thunderbolt}} and {{m|Agility}} when Girafarig tries to {{m|Stomp}} it. Suddenly a wind rustles through the trees and a tremendous blast comes out of nowhere! Pikachu is thrown back but he's not out of the fight yet. Cherry explains that this is Future Sight: a time delayed Psychic attack. Now Girafarig uses {{m|Psybeam}}, Pikachu counters it with Thunderbolt, creating an explosion that raises a cloud of dust. Before Girafarig can attack again, Pikachu leaps out of the cloud and uses {{m|Thunder}} to win the match.

All of them congratulate Cherry for a great match, but she's worried because she can't communicate psychically with Girafarig. Ash reassures her that she's still a good {{pkmn|Trainer}}. Cherry invites them all to her town to see all the other Psychic Pokémon.

In town, Misty is impressed with the Psychic Pokémon everywhere. A woman, [[Mrs. Bellows]], chases after her playful {{p|Abra}} which keeps {{m|Teleport}}ing around. Then an exhausted man, [[Toku]] comes running up the street and warns them about a giant Ghost Pokémon that was immune to Psychic attacks! He and his {{p|Mr. Mime}} were fishing when a [[Team Rocket's mechas|giant]] {{p|Gengar}} appeared. He had Mr. Mime do a {{m|Psywave}} but the attack bounced off the Gengar and hit them instead. Then the Gengar captured Mr. Mime with its tongue. Brock and Ash decide to check it out.

[[Jessie]] and [[James]] drink a toast to their mechanical ghost, but Meowth says they should go back to town and catch the rest of the psychic Pokémon. Mrs. Bellows finds her {{p|Abra}} in a tree and then they both see the Gengar. She tells Abra to use {{m|Psychic}} but the attack bounces off the Gengar's eyes and hits the Abra. The giant tongue comes down and grabs the Abra. Team Rocket gloats, this time they're unstoppable!

Cherry's Girafarig indicates that something is wrong, just as the giant Gengar is seen at the town limits. Toku recognizes it as the same one that ate his Mr. Mime, and Mrs. Bellows returns with the same story about her Abra. All the townsfolk grab their Pokémon and run inside, but Cherry believes that her Girafarig can take on this thing despite its size.

As Team Rocket prepares to capture Pikachu, Cherry tells Girafarig to attack with Psybeam. The attack bounces off the Gengar's eyes and hits, knocking it down. Team Rocket appear and say their {{motto}}, then explain that the Gengar works by using mirrors to reflect the Psychic attacks. Brock admits that this time they've been pretty smart. Misty grabs his ear and demands to know whose side he is on.

Cherry gets angry. She and her Girafarig glow for a moment, then she orders Confusion. The attack is reflected and Girafarig gets stunned! Not giving up, Cherry encourages her Pokémon to get up and use Psybeam. This attack is bounced back as well, and to protect Girafarig both Ash and Cherry stand in front of it and take the blast themselves.

Ash tells a weakened Cherry to leave Team Rocket to him, but she tells Girafarig to use Future Sight. Team Rocket watches the Girafarig just stand there and wonder if Future Sight will tell them what their future is going to be.

As Pikachu runs forward to attack, Cherry suddenly has a vision of the Gengar trying to {{m|lick}} up Pikachu. She realizes that this is Girafarig's vision and warns Ash of the attack, so Pikachu is able to avoid the robot's tongue at the last second. All attempts to catch Pikachu fail, because he's now flying high thanks to Girafarig's Confusion ability. Eventually the robot's tongue can't stretch any farther, and Pikachu uses a Thunder attack which disables the robot and frees the Abra and Mr. Mime that were inside.

Team Rocket are about to get out their Pokémon to continue the fight, but a wind rustles the trees and the Future Sight attack goes off, sending Team Rocket blasting off again.

Cherry is happy, she and her Pokémon finally connected psychically. Ash and friends depart, and Cherry vows that she and Girafarig will become as good a team as Ash and Pikachu are.

==Trivia==
* When ''[[S03|The Johto Journeys]]'' went on a two month hiatus on {{DL|Pokémon in the United States|Kids' WB!}} in 2001, this episode was promoted as a "lost episode." Even though it was classified as a lost episode, it was rerun four more times after its premiere (October 19, 2001; December 10, 2001; July 9, 2002; June 3, 2008).
** This episode aired April 20, 2001 in {{pmin|Italy}}. Because of the "lost episode" incident, this is the longest distance between a European airdate and the correspondent American one with the European coming first: 113 days.
* Up until the November 10, 2015 DVD release of ''Pokémon The Johto Journey: The Complete Collection'', this episode, along with ''[[EP157|The Fortune Hunters]]'', wasn't released on [[List of English language The Johto Journeys home video releases (Region 1)|Region 1 VHS or DVD]] much like the lost episode ''[[EP018|Beauty and the Beach]]''.
** Both the {{pmin|Portugal|European Portuguese}} and the {{pmin|Spain|European Spanish}} versions of this episode and ''[[EP157|The Fortune Hunters]]'' were released by Salvat, the company that distributes DVD versions of the episodes in the Iberian Peninsula. Both of these episodes were also included in the {{pmin|Australia}}n [[List of English language The Johto Journeys home video releases (Region 4)|season 3 box set]].
* Ghost types that are immune to Psychic-type attacks were later introduced as actual Pokémon, in the form of {{p|Sableye}} and {{p|Spiritomb}}.
** Through the use of its {{a|Wonder Guard|ability}}, {{p|Shedinja}} is also immune to Psychic-type attacks.
* The sign that the group encounters is based on the [[Trainer Tips]] from the games.
* When Team Rocket is driving with their mecha, they chant, "We've [[gotta catch 'em all!]]"
* {{p|Abra}} was freed alongside {{p|Mr. Mime}}, although it could have easily {{m|Teleport|teleported}} itself to safety.

===Errors===
* During this episode, it is mistakenly stated that {{t|Psychic}} types are strong against {{t|Ghost}} types, when in fact the reverse is true (though Gastly, Haunter, and Gengar were weak due to their {{t|Poison|secondary type}}). In [[Generation I]], an error in programming resulted in Ghost-type attacks having no effect on Psychic Pokémon, rather than being super effective against them as was intended; as this particular episode was released well into [[Generation II]], after the mistake was fixed, it is unclear how this error entered into the script.
* When the group comes across {{p|Girafarig}} for the first time and {{an|Misty}} is telling {{TP|Misty|Psyduck}} to use {{m|Confusion}}, Psyduck's bill becomes the same color as the rest of its body.
* At the end of the episode, the narrator says "What will happen to our heroes on their way to Johto?" However, they are already ''in'' Johto.
* When Jessie opens up her compact, which gives a reflection of James and Meowth, the "R" on James' shirt is facing the correct way instead of being flipped horizontally as it should be seen on a mirror.

[[File:Arnold.png|thumb|right|Arnold reunites with his mother.]]
'''Arnold''' (Japanese: '''ハジメ''' ''Hajime'') is a [[character of the day]] from the episode ''[[EP027|Hypno's Naptime]]''. He is a [[doppelgänger]] of {{Ash}} and [[Travis]] with the only difference being his clothing and hair color.

He was one of the children that became hypnotized by {{p|Hypno}}'s sleep waves, resulting in him becoming lost at the park. Luckily, {{p|Drowzee}}'s dream waves were able to wake him and the other children up. At the end of the episode, he was reunited with [[Arnold's mother|his mom]].

Arnold likes Pokémon but has not expressed an interest in becoming a Pokémon Trainer.

==thank you==
Thank you for the kind greetings. I came and joined this wiki comunity to help with the "Pokemon + Nobunagas Ambition" game. I am a huge fan of KOEI and their games, and while i dont know much about pokemon outside the cartoons, i thought i could help by proving information regarding the human characters in the upcoming crossover game

I hope i can be of service [[User:Ixbran|Ixbran]] 07:35, 14 January 2012 (UTC)

==I have a question==
First of all thank you for the nice greeting, I apreciate it.
Also I noticed that on your page it said your favorite Pokemon was Evee. I would like to add my favorite Pokemon (Chandelure) to my page, how can I do that?
[[User:Chandelure1166|Carson]] 07:15, 23 January 2012 (UTC)
:You're welcome! Do you mean the little tag on my page? First you have to make some edits to the mainspace, so you can gain the ability to create and edit your userpage. Don't ask me how many, I don't know. Once you can do that, add <code><nowiki>{{Template:User Favorite|609|Chandelure}}</nowiki></code> to your page. For more information, look {{bp|Usertag|here}}. [[User:Crystal Talian|Crystal]] [[User talk:Crystal Talian|Talian]] 07:28, 23 January 2012 (UTC)

==Thank you==
Yes, the tag is very nice, and thanks for letting me know!
[[User:Chandelure1166|Carson]] 07:49, 23 January 2012 (UTC)

==I can't find the mainspace==
Sorry if I am bothering you, but I am new to Bulbapedia. Is there a link somwhere?
[[User:Chandelure1166|Carson]] 08:02, 23 January 2012 (UTC)
:You're not bothering me at all. "Mainspace" refers to most Bulbapedia pages that don't start with "talk:" or "user:". For example, the edit you made to {{p|Axew}}'s article counts as a mainspace edit. [[User:Crystal Talian|Crystal]] [[User talk:Crystal Talian|Talian]] 08:08, 23 January 2012 (UTC)
==it still will not let me edit my userpage==
By the way I'm glad i'm not bothering you, I don't like to do that to people
[[User:Chandelure1166|Carson]] 08:22, 23 January 2012 (UTC)
:You'll need to make several mainspace edits before you are able to edit your userpage. I don't know the exact number, but it is several. By the way, you don't need to create a new header every time you add to a talkpage. You can just click the "edit" button next to the header where the conversation started. You really only need to make a new header when starting a new conversation. {{unsigned|Crystal Talian}}
:Thanks, I will go make some edits now.
Also I was making a new header every time becuase I didn't know how to reply at that time
[[User:Chandelure1166|Chandelure1166]] 08:39, 23 January 2012 (UTC)
::No problem! And I figured it was something like that. I was just letting you know. =3 [[User:Crystal Talian|Crystal]] [[User talk:Crystal Talian|Talian]] 08:43, 23 January 2012 (UTC)

==Can you help me?==
Hello Crystal! I don't know If you remember me cause I joined maybe four months ago or longer but I was one of the users you welcomed. Since bulbapedia is so big and I'm a sotr of new user, I'm not exactly sure what to edit (I actually joined just to help with the tyrouge page due to the fact where tyrouge was wasn't completely said). So I was sort of wondering if you possibly have a simple easy task I could do to help out the wiki?
--[[User:Minor Notes|Minor Notes]] 23:00, 2 June 2012 (UTC)

==Just one last question==
Hello, Crystal! Thanks for the suggestion of what to do. I just have one last question: for the trainer classes would it be possible to put a appearance section? I mostly noticed appearance is basically only used for pokemon and not for the human characters but I looked at another stub for a trainer class and it listed a appearance for both characters but it was in the section where game information was usually located. Well thanks for your help, bye!

== Urgent ==

Hello Crystal Talian, please check your e-mail{{tt|*|the one which you used to register on Bulbapedia}} as soon as possible, awaiting for your reply. Thank you. ♫♪ [[User:Adyniz|'''エイデ''']][[User talk:Adyniz|'''ィニズ''']] ♪♫ 10:47, 1 July 2012 (UTC)

== Signature move ==

Where is the problem? KyleRGiggs 09:01, 12 July 2012 (UTC)
:Wait until Force Fire replies to your question before reverting him. However, I believe the problem is that this is a move tutor move. It wasn't that only Blastoise could learn, but that the tutor refused to teach it to anyone else. [[User:Crystal Talian|Crystal]] [[User talk:Crystal Talian|Talian]] 09:02, 12 July 2012 (UTC)
::I am not reverting him actually, please check what I revert. KyleRGiggs 09:13, 12 July 2012 (UTC)

== Using templates ==

Ah, well. Noted. Thank you. [[User:Crystal Talian|Crystal]] [[User talk:Crystal Talian|Talian]] 21:39, 1 August 2012 (UTC)

:::Got it. I'll be sure to remember for next time. Thanks! [[User:Crystal Talian|Crystal]] [[User talk:Crystal Talian|Talian]] 21:43, 1 August 2012 (UTC)
::::Sorry to butt in but, subst is usually used for message templates like <nowiki>{{subst:Userspace warning}}</nowiki> and <nowiki>{{subst:Preview button}}</nowiki>, not just for <nowiki>{{subst:Welcome}}</nowiki>.

== Then Let's Bring it Up With Staff ==

To the uneducated reader who knows nothing about Pokémon and is trying to decide which game to buy as their first, such entries as the one I attempted to correct can be very misleading. Anyone looking at the Butterfree or Metapod articles can easily see at the top of the article that it evolves from Caterpie, but cannot catch it in Black; however, the text in cases like Metapod suggests that a player who wants a Butterfree HAS to play White, and cannot trade the Pokémon from Black, thus requiring a player who wants to catch Reshiram (that was my deciding factor, I wanted the white legendary) to purchase White instead. This is completely misleading to an uneducated reader, and it is wrong to assume that everyone will understand that you can still evolve it in Black. After all, clicking a Caterpie link from Metapod's page already shows you can only catch Caterpie in White.

This is a task I'm willing to undertake myself as well, I'm just trying to establish a correct precedent. The existing one is entirely flawed. [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 01:04, 9 August 2012 (UTC)
:I understand your concern, and I agree that it is a good point. The next time I have the chance to talk with staff, I will bring up your point, and we will let you know when a decision is made on the subject. [[User:Crystal Talian|Crystal]] [[User talk:Crystal Talian|Talian]] 01:10, 9 August 2012 (UTC)

::Fair enough. Give me a heads-up on my talk page when that occurs; I constantly refer back to things here more often than anywhere else, so I'll see it. Let the staff know I'm willing to take this on myself as well, and if I do make an odd mistake somewhere, they're welcome to clean up after me where necessary. Hopefully that won't happen very often. =D [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 01:14, 9 August 2012 (UTC)
== thanks for the warm welcome ==
i wanted to thank you for welcoming me and i was wondering how to put those "this user ----" on my page and where to find them [[User:Maggiedroid|Maggiedroid]] ([[User talk:Maggiedroid|talk]]) 04:59, 13 August 2012 (UTC)
:First, you're welcome. =3 And do you mean the usertags? Well, first you need to do some editing so you can start your own userpage. Don't ask me how many edits you need to do, it's a hidden number. Anyway, once you do that, you can look {{bp|Usertag|here}} for information on usertags. Have fun! [[User:Crystal Talian|Crystal]] [[User talk:Crystal Talian|Talian]] 06:06, 13 August 2012 (UTC)

== Name Translations ==

Hey Crystal Talian, I just saw your message and I just wanted to say, first, sorry about that, I'm not fluent in Japanese, and I was looking for something to edit, and I thought that I could do that by translating something from English to Japanese; second, that I didn't really know how the translations worked, which is why I translated the English names back into Japanese; and third, I don't own a Japanese copy of a Hoenn-based game (As I live in the US, and it's realtively hard to get one in and around where I live).The next time I edit a page on Bulbapedia, and any other site for that matter, I'll make sure I know what I'm doing before I start editing. I'll also make sure that the next I edit a page on the site, I'll make sure it will be not only tested personally, but also that it follows the conduct of Bulbapedia and that if it deals with another language that I'm not fluent in, I promise that I won't translate on this site until one of the following is true:
A) I'm fluent in that language (I'm currently fluent in only English, but I'm working on becoming fluent in German)
B) I use an offical site to translate (i.e. a govt. website)
or
C) If I'm thinking about editing, one of the above is true

I'll become fluent in any language, if needed. I am actually thinking about becoming fluent in Japanese, amongst a few other languages. One final thing, I wasn't really thinking about how the translating worked, especially with languages like English and Japanese, which have little to no connection. If you (Or another Bulbapedia staf member) have any problem with anything I edit, like this one, just feel free to edit that page back and tell me. Thanks for pointing that out, and telling me about how translating generally works. Thanks! [[User Talk:Grayglove|Grayglove]]
==A little help, please==
I have been creating battlefield sections for the kingdoms of Pokémon Conquest and would like to create a battlefield page. It looks like I now have the right to create pages, so could you please tell me a bit about creating them? Sorry to bother you. The editing help doesn't help. LOL! Either way, I would really appreciate it if you helped me out. [[User:Eeveewithwings123|Eeveewithwings123]] ([[User talk:Eeveewithwings123|talk]]) 21:50, 4 December 2012 (UTC)
:You're not bothering me at all. As far as getting a page started, all you have to do is run a search for the title of the page you want to make, and click the link to create the page. As far as the content for that page, I suggest you look over the other Conquest pages and how they are written and set up, and then maybe go over the {{bp|manual of style}}. Other than that, just go with your instincts. Good luck and have fun! [[User:Crystal Talian|Crystal]] [[User talk:Crystal Talian|Talian]] 03:07, 5 December 2012 (UTC)

Umm... I've been too busy to do the page yet (and a bit scared, I know it's stupid to worry about it, I'm just not that good at codes and all), but what would you use for a suffix to show that the article is for the conquest games and not any others? Thanks in advance!--[[User:Eeveewithwings123|Eeveewithwings123]] ([[User talk:Eeveewithwings123|talk]]) 16:01, 21 January 2013 (UTC)
:Since we don't have any other battlefield pages, a suffix isn't needed to distinguish it. But if you're wanting to make a different page that will need a distinction, the suffix would be (Conquest). I don't think it would be needed for any pages at the moment, though. [[User:Crystal Talian|Crystal]] [[User talk:Crystal Talian|Talian]] 00:28, 22 January 2013 (UTC)

I've suddenly lost my ability to create pages... Why? [[User:Eeveewithwings123|Eeveewithwings123]] ([[User talk:Eeveewithwings123|talk]]) 14:24, 11 May 2013 (UTC)
:Can you tell me what the name of the page you're trying to create is? And what message it gives you when you try to create a page? You may be trying to create a page under a protected namespace. [[User:Crystal Talian|Crystal]] [[User talk:Crystal Talian|Talian]] 07:11, 12 May 2013 (UTC)

==A question==
Hello Crystal! I have a question and I thought you would probably be able to answer it. Can any user, including the ones that are admins or higher, use obscenities on their user pages? I was just sort of wondering since I found this bureaucrat, [[User:Darkeiya]], using a obscenity in a user box and that confused me since I thought Bulbapedia had rules against that.If you could answer my question I would greatly appreciate it. [[User:Minor Notes|Minor Notes]] ([[User talk:Minor Notes|talk]]) 03:51, 7 December 2012 (UTC)
:There are rules against it in mainspace articles. However, so long as it is within reason and not specifically directed at a person (or group of people), its allowed on userpages and talkpages.

Thankyou for answering my question. The obscenity is directed at a villian in the game so does that change it or is it just different if it is directed at a living person?[[User:Minor Notes|Minor Notes]] ([[User talk:Minor Notes|talk]]) 16:04, 7 December 2012 (UTC)
:Only a living person, as it would then be against the Code of Conduct. [[User:Crystal Talian|Crystal]] [[User talk:Crystal Talian|Talian]] 03:51, 8 December 2012 (UTC)
Thank you for answering my question yet again. Now take for instance the God the Christians believe is real and say that some one uses a obscenity and directs it at that God, would that have to be taken down since Christians believe He is real or would it simply be ignored since not everyone believes He is real?[[User:Minor Notes|Minor Notes]] ([[User talk:Minor Notes|talk]]) 23:38, 8 December 2012 (UTC)
:That would be offensive to a particular group of people, so that would not be allowed. To put it simply, swearing is okay in the userspace and talkpages so long as it is not offensive to a person or persons. So, if someone is swearing at at game, a game character, or nothing in particular, then that is fine. On the other hand, if someone is directing that obscenity at a person, people, entity, or concept that insults or offends someone, it would not be allowed. If you think that something you want to say might offend someone, then don't say it. [[User:Crystal Talian|Crystal]] [[User talk:Crystal Talian|Talian]] 04:44, 9 December 2012 (UTC)
Thank you for your help Crystal! I thought by leaving you a message you might get back to me the next month (since I have had dreadful experiences on talk pages for articles and I thought this would be the same) but I was very surprised that you got back to me in less then a day. Thank you so much for answering my questions but I'm afraid I've got another one (I believe this one will be my last). Now say for instance a user takes a word that is less then a obscenity but is in the same category and then put the word God in front of it and then uses that word to insult themselves. Would that be allowed because they were insulting themselves or would that be not allowed for they would be insulting both God and themselves? I was wondering about that after seeing a [[User:TTEchidna|user]] do that exact thing.[[User:Minor Notes|Minor Notes]] ([[User talk:Minor Notes|talk]]) 23:45, 11 December 2012 (UTC)
:I really can't run through every possible scenario. The main thing is to avoid offending people. If you think you're going to offend someone, just don't say it. If you're worried about something someone else said, staff will get to it if it is a problem (and if the user hasn't already been banned). Bulbapedia does not discriminate against any race, religion, or ethnic background. If someone is openly expressing discretions against these groups they will be blocked indefinitely whether they use swear words or not. In the case of the provided situation, it would not be allowed as it may offend some people. [[User:Crystal Talian|Crystal]] [[User talk:Crystal Talian|Talian]] 00:45, 12 December 2012 (UTC)

== Moving Sections ==

Crystal i am new and i made a new section on a page and how do i move it to a new place([[User:Icestar649|Icestar649]] ([[User talk:Icestar649|talk]]) 22:22, 19 December 2012 (UTC))
:Hello. First, please add new talkpage comments to the bottom of the page. I've moved this comment for you. To move the section you created, all you need to do is copy-paste it to the area of the page where you want to be (make sure you delete it from the original area so it isn't on the page twice). However, I would suggest simply putting the section in the correct area of the page to begin with. To bring up the whole page for editing, just click the "edit this page" tab at the top of page and add the new section where it needs to be. I went ahead and looked over the section you added, and removed it as it was not the right style for this website. Please work your grammar and do not use "you" when writing for articles here. I would suggest that you look over the {{bp|manual of style}}, it'll help you out with some of the basics of editing here.

== "If there are six, it's not notable" ==

Technically, it's only five, since Deoxys differs via forme. Is five a small enough number out of 650 to be deemed notable? Sweeping statistics like this at a glance are of considerable use to people who play competitively. [[User:Jumpman16|Jumpman16]] ([[User talk:Jumpman16|talk]]) 03:54, 11 February 2013 (UTC)

== Article about Misty's Gyarados ==

Hello, im bringing this up because way article about Gyarados was written brings confusion among fans making it seem like things are based on assumptions rather than actual proof itself. Its listed on main page as Misty pokemon, but in article about Gyarados way its worded make it seem like its gym pokemon. Which many fans find confusing judging by comments you can read online.

Since going by canon and what was showed in anime from moment Misty earned its trust Gyarados was showed to be used and trained only by her. One of proof to this was revealed in episode "Togepi Mirage" when Misty stated how she trained Gyarados teaching it flamethrower. Like its been already brought up in article Gyarados seem to establish special bond with Misty , bond we never saw existing between him and Daisy, Violet or LIly. Before MIsty returned to gym earning its respect it was also showed how he didn't listened to anyone being out of control, until Misty intervened choosing to be her partner and nothing afterwards indicate how anyone else beside Misty use him befriending it.

Which is one of basic ways trainers acquire new pokemon.Otherwise if we are going to count only captured pokemon as ones which belong to someone, than same logic could be applied to Dawn Togekiss or Brock Onix which they received as gifts from others. Or all befriended pokemon others acquired on travels.
In comparison all Brock pokemon are currently at gym, but that doesn't mean they belong to gym and new gym leader Forest.

Gyarados may be gym pokemon before(even though in canon such thing has never been stated), but that doesn't necessarily mean it still belongs to gym with canon treating it more as Misty's than gym pokemon. There are plenty other gym pokemon like Dewgong, Shelder, Goldeen etc but we don't see Misty taking them with her outside the gym, nor she was ever showed to be using them.Let alone being listed as her pokemon.
Only Gyarados is being taken with her whenever she leaves gym being treated in similar manner like Corsola, Staryu and other pokemon which belong to her are.It was also showed how she is the only one training it, learning flamethrower in process.
Likewise on every site whether its SPPF, or some Japanese poke site Gyarados is listed as one of Misty pokemon with only bulbapedia causing confusion listing it at same time both as Misty and gym pokemon?

Therefore i believe judging by what canon showed so far it would be more accurate to classify Gyarados as Misty rather than gym pokemon since unlike its case with other pokemon we reliably know belong to Cerulean, Gyarados is another story bring showed to have special bond only with Misty listening, training and being taken with her whenever she leaves gym. For all aforementioned reasons wouldn't it be more authentic to say how Gyarados is pokemon Misty befriended, since its treated basically like every pokemon which belongs to Misty? --[[User:Pokemon fan 132|Pokemon fan 132]] ([[User talk:Pokemon fan 132|talk]]) 08:46, 18 February 2013 (UTC)

== Move trivia ==

I don't think that "the only non-X-type Pokémon that can learn the move" trivia should be on the move pages, since you can see it easily just by looking at the move lists (which is why sprite trivia isn't allowed). For example, when you read the {{m|Poison Gas}} page, you'll notice immediately that Drowzee and Hypno are the only Psychic types without having to read the trivia section.--'''[[User:Dennou Zenshi|電禅]][[User talk:Dennou Zenshi|Den Zen]]''' 21:50, 25 March 2013 (UTC)
:I considered that, but it really doesn't belong on Pokémon species pages either. Being the only one not of a type to learn it is potentially notable, but the major question is where to put it. It is easily visible on the move pages, but it's not really relevant on the species pages since it's more about the move than the Pokémon. I will look into the best place to put them tonight. [[User:Crystal Talian|Crystal]] [[User talk:Crystal Talian|Talian]] 22:09, 25 March 2013 (UTC)
::I'm also dumbfounded as to why you reverted my edits. In my opinion, all those reversions and pseudo-reversions of yours should be reverted, as the trivia does not belong in the move articles (see my talk page), and if it is notable, then of course the species articles are the appropriate locations. Really can't follow the logic in the argument that the content is not relevant for the species articles. How is it not? I'd even say it's more about the Pokémon than the move. Do you think that the fact that Bagon and its evolutionary relatives are the only non-Fire-type Pokémon to learn Ember says more about Ember than the Pokémon? I don't. I'd appreciate it if you could just undo your brash actions, disregarding any face-saving that could be gained from arguing and making this "major question" more complicated than it has to be; there are two location options, one is inapproriate due to being beyond redundant, the other is not - species articles if notable, nowhere if not notable. That was the conclusion I reached when editing, reflected in my edit summaries, so if you want to oppose that, at least make up your mind before reverting. Also, it appears your reversions are made without regard to my grammar-fixes (compare your restored Flame Wheel (move) to what you removed from Rattata (Pokémon)), which is, you know, counterproductive.

== Regarding Mew's name origin ==

According to Webster's Universal English Thesaurus:

:::..., for example:"The chameleon mew its color."[[User:Gelato Gelato|Gelato Gelato]] ([[User talk:Gelato Gelato|talk]]) 05:33, 5 April 2013 (UTC)Gelato Gelato
:::: "Mew" is more often used in reference to birds moulting. Is that an example of your own, or one from another website? Because my research indicates that it only used to indicate a change in birds. An example from the Oxford dictionary: "the {{tt|eyasses|young hawks}} clung dully to their leashes as if they were mewing", referring to hawks in moult. The definition "to confine" is also primary used in reference to birds used for hawking. This has nothing to do with the Pokémon Mew.

::::::The clouds are the sky are not synonymous simply because they come from the same word. You cannot use "sky" to mean "cloud" or vice versa.

==Trivia==
* Darumaka has the lowest {{stat|Special Attack}} base stat of all {{type|Fire}} Pokémon.

===Origin===
It seems to be based on a {{wp|Daruma doll}}, which, incidentally was used for the Japanese Version of [[Who's That Pokémon?]] for [[EP082]]. When it is resting it resembles the {{wp|Roly-poly toy|type of Daruma doll that does not tip over.}} Its {{t|Fire|Fire typing}} may be based upon the traditional {{wp|Daruma doll#Daruma burning|Daruma burning ceremony}}.

====Name origin====
Darumaka and Darumakka seem to be a combination of ''{{wp|Daruma doll|Daruma}}'' and 真赤 ''makka'' (crimson) or a corruption of ''{{wp|macaque}}''.

'''Pokémon Theme''' is the first opening theme music from the English dub of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It was used from ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'' to ''[[EP083|Poké Ball Peril]]''. Being featured in 83 episodes makes it the most-used dub opening theme. The opening animation uses footage from the first Japanese opening, ''[[Aim to Be a Pokémon Master]]''.

It was written and produced by [[John Loeffler]]. The lead vocal was sung by [[Jason Paige]].

The song was played at the end of the VHS ''[[A Sneak Peek at Pokémon]]''. A full version of the song is avalible on the [[Pokémon 2.B.A. Master]] and {{OBP|Pokémon X|CD}} audio CDs, and includes a second verse not usually heard in the show. This version is also featured in the episodes of the anime [[EP021|''Bye Bye Butterfree'']], ''[[EP074|All Fired Up!]]'' and once again in ''[[EP080|Friends To The End]]''. Another full version sung by {{wp|Billy Crawford}} was the theme played during the opening credits of ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', and is the first track on the [[Pokémon the First Movie (soundtrack)|movie's soundtrack]].

==Synopsis==
The clip begins with {{p|Mewtwo}} and a shining {{p|Mew}} floating in space, as the camera focuses on Earth, while the sun starts to rise. The next scene shows {{Ash}} alone in a stadium. After that, a {{AP|Squirtle}}, {{DL|Giselle|Cubone}} and {{AP|Pidgeotto}} are shown quickly, before changing to a {{AP|Bulbasaur}} being caught, to which Ash snaps excitedly. Shortly afterwards, the camera shows a {{AP|Haunter}} using {{m|Lick}} on {{AP|Charmander}}, paralyzing him.

Ash then flips his hat backwards and throws a [[Poké Ball]] to the camera. In the following scene, Ash can be seen running along with his {{AP|Pikachu}}, an {{p|Arcanine}} and a {{p|Rapidash}}, who then jumps to the skies, disappearing between the [[legendary birds]], who are flying around. Then, a short clip of a {{DL|A.J.|Sandshrew}} unrolling itself, a {{TP|Sabrina|Kadabra}} and Charmander is shown, followed by Ash and Pikachu sitting on a {{p|Lapras}}, as they watch a {{p|Gyarados}} jumping out of the water, and a {{p|Dragonair}} jumping in. After that, a Poké Ball is seen trapping [[Ash's Caterpie|a Pokémon]] who has turned into red energy.

A battle between Pikachu and {{TP|Lt. Surge|Raichu}} is seen, with the former dodging a {{m|Body Slam}} of the latter; and then, a {{AP|Caterpie}} bracing for an {{TP|Jessie|Ekans}}' and a {{TP|James|Koffing}}'s incoming attack. In the next scene, Ash is seen hugging his Pikachu, followed by a giant {{p|Tentacruel}} attacking a building. Ash then is seen holding a Poké Ball; followed by an {{TP|Brock|Onix}}. Later, Ash appears to be looking at the screen, when {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}} appear on either side of him, followed by [[Jessie]] and [[James]] rising up in front of them. Koffing, {{MTR}} and Ekans jump up next, followed by {{Gary}} holding a Poké Ball.

The camera then runs across {{p|Charizard}} while using {{m|Flamethrower}}, {{p|Blastoise}} while using {{m|Hydro Pump}} and {{p|Venusaur}}; before Pikachu runs between Ash and a {{tc|Lass}} and jumps. The next scene introduces {{an|Professor Oak}}, [[Delia Ketchum]], [[Officer Jenny]] and [[Nurse Joy]], as they nod, the camera then shows a giant Charizard using Flamethrower, and Ash and {{ashfr}} hide behind a boulder, later, a Squirtle is seen running towards Ash, followed by a hug.

The camera does a close-up on Pikachu, and subsequently zooms out, showing Pikachu standing on a Pidgeotto, a {{TP|Brock|Zubat}} holding a Squirtle, and a {{AP|Butterfree}} holding Bulbasaur. The last scene then shows up, on which Ash raises his feet and throws the Poké Ball to the screen, much like a {{wp|Pitcher|Baseball pitcher}}, followed by a spinning Poké Ball and the Pokémon logo.

'''Ash Ketchum''' (Japanese: '''サトシ''' ''Satoshi'') is the main character of both the [[Pokémon anime]] and ''[[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]'' manga, and is believed to be based on the {{ga|Red|protagonist}} of the [[Generation I|first generation]] Pokémon games.

He shares his Japanese name—which can be taken to mean "wisdom" or "reason" (智)—with the creator of the [[Pokémon]] franchise, [[Satoshi Tajiri]]. His English surname is a pun of the original English motto, "[[Gotta catch 'em all!]]."

{{spoilers}}

==In the anime==
===Character===
[[File:Ash anime.png|200px|thumb|Ash Ketchum in the [[original series]]]]
Ash's main goal in life, as described in [[EP001|the first episode]], is to be the world's greatest [[Pokémon Master]]. Ash began his journey at the age of 10 as a warm-hearted and well-intentioned but stubborn, rash and amateur [[Pokémon Trainer]]. He was forced to accept the cheeky {{AP|Pikachu}} from {{an|Professor Oak}} as his [[starter Pokémon]] because he carelessly broke his alarm clock in his sleep and woke up late on the day he was set to get his first Pokémon. He was determined to achieve his goal, however, and when Pikachu saw that he was willing to compromise his own safety to keep it safe he formed a strong bond of friendship with Pikachu. This would set his course for the future.
[[File:Ash fleeing spearow.png|thumb|left|200px|Ash trying to keep Pikachu safe]]
However, from that point, Ash still had a lot to learn about becoming a Trainer. The [[Ash's Butterfree|first Pokémon]] he {{pkmn2|caught}}, was caught by luck, as he knew absolutely nothing about [[Pokémon battle|battling]], and was hesitant to admit it whenever he was wrong. Many of his first [[Gym]] [[Badge]]s were given to him merely out of gratitude for his assistance rather than claiming an actual victory in battle over the [[Gym Leader]]s; of his first five Gym battles, only his victory over [[Lt. Surge]] was an actual victory. Every time he thought he was doing well, he would somehow cross paths with his childhood [[rival]], [[Gary Oak]]. He always reminded Ash that he was always a step or seven behind, with Gary catching around forty-five Pokémon by the time Ash had only caught his {{AP|seventh|Kingler}}. This hampered matters further when, owing to his inexperience, his {{AP|Charizard}}, one of his most powerful Pokémon, refused to listen to him until [[EP105|Ash could prove himself]] to the powerful Fire type.

Over time, Ash's dedication to his goal paid off. After earning his first eight Badges he went on to compete in the [[Indigo League]], advancing to the fifth round - one further than Gary, and ending up in the top 16. After recovering from his defeat, he continued on to improve his skills; take on new challenges; and compete in more [[Pokémon League]] competitions - triumphing in the [[Orange League]] and the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}.

[[File:Ash AG.png|200px|thumb|left|Ash in the {{series|Advanced Generation}}]]
Ash has changed a great deal over the course of the series, particularly in regards to his skill at [[Pokémon training]], but his earnestness, rashness, and determination have remained. Never straying from his goal, he has remained loyal to {{ashfr}}, his family, and his supporters, but most of all his Pokémon. Ash became a great Trainer by learning to find and use the inner strength of each of his Pokémon by bonding with them. For example, when he received a banner filled with prints from his Pokémon in ''[[AG187|The Unbeatable Lightness of Seeing!]]'', he knew which Pokémon placed specific prints, showing his close bond with them. He also learns where their hidden abilities lie, as well as resorting to unorthodox strategies when fighting particularly challenging opponents. For example, he uses his Pikachu's speed to outmaneuver larger foes and attack. In another instance, his {{AP|Charizard}} defeated [[Gary's Blastoise]] by causing the field to overheat before mounting a close-quarters attack while Blastoise was blinded by the steam. He also prefers to train a Pokémon to be the best it can without forcing it to [[Evolution|evolve]], as evidenced by his treatment of {{AP|Gligar|Gliscor}} in ''[[DP085|Fighting Fear With Fear!]]''. He is happy when his Pokémon evolve but lets them choose whether or not they want to evolve instead of forcing them.
[[File:AshAura.png|thumb|right|250px|Ash using Aura inside the [[Tree of Beginning]]]]
Early on, Ash originally trained not to further himself but instead to catch more Pokémon than Gary. He later slowed his pace which allowed him to focus on the individual traits of each Pokémon. At the [[Johto]] League [[Silver Conference]], with great humility and maturity, Ash finally won a battle against his old rival, signifying a great milestone in his history. His maturity has also increased in his dealings with Pokémon. This is shown when [[Ash's Primeape|a Mankey]] stole his {{AP|hat}} in ''[[EP025|Primeape Goes Bananas]]'', he screamed and yelled at it, even climbing trees just to get his hat back, but when [[Dawn's Ambipom|an Aipom]] did the same in ''[[AG179|Slaking Kong]]'', he stated merely that he would feel strange without a hat. When Aipom stole his hat again in ''[[DP009|Setting the World on its Buneary!]]'', however, while it was under his ownership, he chased after it in the same manner as before.

In most episodes of the anime, especially those during the Johto League saga, Ash befriends someone who will influence him and cause him to strive to become a better Trainer. Although he is not a dependent individual, he is still young and has learned to make his way relying on {{ashfr}}, particularly the maternal skills of Brock. The honor of "best friend" is usually reserved for Pikachu but Ash has come to see his closest human friends in the same light over time; using the term for {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}} in ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later!]]'' as well as {{an|May}} and [[Max]] in ''[[AG178|Battling the Enemy Within]]''.

He has traversed much of the [[Pokémon world]] and has thus far participated in four [[Pokémon League#Championship competitions|Pokémon League regional competitions]], but he is still learning new things about Pokémon all the time.
[[File:Ash DP 1.png|thumb|right|200px|Ash in the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}]]
Ash has gained a close connection with many [[legendary Pokémon]], including {{an|Mewtwo}}, {{an|Ho-Oh}}, {{OBP|Lugia|M02}}, {{OBP|Latias|M05}}, {{DL|Lake guardians (anime)|Azelf}}, {{OBP|Shaymin|M11}}, {{mov|Giratina}}, {{OBP|Arceus|M12}}, {{OBP|Victini|M14}}, {{OBP|Reshiram|M14}}{{tt|*|Black—Victini and Reshiram}}, {{OBP|Zekrom|M14}}{{tt|*|White—Victini and Zekrom}} and {{an|Meloetta}}. In the English dub [[M02|second movie]], he was revealed to be "The Chosen One" - the one who would bring balance back to the world when it was disrupted.

Although viewed as a normal human, Ash does have some special abilities, as he is said to have the same [[aura]] as [[Sir Aaron]], a legendary hero, and is theoretically able to manipulate it in much the same way. Therefore, he made a connection with Sir Aaron's {{mov|Lucario|Lucario|08}}. However, he has not received any training in this field, opting to continue his Pokémon journey instead. He has also been likened to an ancient aura guardian in ''[[DP056|The Keystone Pops!]]'', who also had a partner {{p|Pikachu}}. Later, in ''[[DP071|Pokémon Ranger and the Kidnapped Riolu! Parts 1]]'' and ''[[DP072|2]]'', Ash uses aura again to locate a lost {{p|Riolu}} and read Riolu's mind as well. This time, however, he merely senses the aura, rather than manipulating it.

[[File:AshWallace.png|thumb|left|200px|Ash in the [[Wallace Cup]]]]
Ash has also participated in Contests. He has a [[Contest Pass]] for the [[Sinnoh]] region, as well as one for the Hoenn region as it was required to watch one of the Contests held there. Ash carries half of a broken [[Poké Ball]] with him everywhere, while Gary has the other half, as a symbol of their ongoing, but now friendly, rivalry; [[Misty's special lure]], which she sent to him as a gift; and half of a Ribbon he received in a Contest against May before she left the group to compete in Johto. Ash also participated in the [[Wallace Cup]] on the suggestion of [[Wallace]] but he lost in the third round.

Ash soon obtained all of the Sinnoh Gym Badges. During his battles in the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]], he managed to advance to the Top 4, during which time he defeated his long-time Sinnoh rival [[Paul]] for the first time, and fought against {{si|Tobias}}, becoming the only known Trainer to defeat his {{p|Darkrai}}. Though he lost later on in the battle, he seems to be okay with losing, as he has become closer to his Pokémon than ever before. Ash, {{an|Dawn}}, and Brock then set off on their own paths to follow their respective dreams, with Brock saying he will no longer be joining Ash on his next journey.

In the {{series|Best Wishes}}, Ash came with Professor Oak and his mom on a trip to the [[Unova]] region. After losing in a battle to [[Trip]] and seeing the power of the legendary {{p|Zekrom}}, Ash became interested in traveling Unova to meet new Pokémon, as well as new friends. He is now currently in journey in [[Unova]], first bringing along only his Pikachu as he did in Hoenn.

During his time in Unova, along with his quest for the Badges, Ash also competed in the local competitions [[Club Battle]], [[Clubsplosion]] and [[Pokémon World Tournament Junior Cup]], despite battling quite well, he failed to win them and managed to be the runner-up of two of the three. Despite these mishaps, he didn't feel bad for seeing his friends winning the awards. After managing to obtain the Unova Badges he was allowed to participate in the [[Vertress Conference]] along with his current and some new rivals. In the preliminary round, he battled Trip one-on-one, defeating him for the first time and ending their rivalry. Ash also defeated his friend and rival [[Stephan]]. He then battled one of his recent rivals, {{un|Cameron}}, where he lost in ''[[BW108|A Unova League Evolution!]]'', making it to the top 8 of the Vertress Conference.

One particular characteristic about Ash that has not changed over the course of the series aside from his determination and his passion for raising and training Pokémon is that he is incredibly selfless. He will often (and this has happened for just about every one of his Pokémon) go to extraordinary lengths to earn a Pokémon's trust and respect; and he will often go out of his way to better understand a Pokémon that he sees as troubled. He is also very fair-minded and trusting, a true testament to his good-natured character.

===Family===
[[File:Younger Ash DP138.png|thumb|left|250px|A young Ash]]
Ash is an only child that lived with his mother, [[Delia Ketchum]], until he left for his Pokémon journey at the age of ten.

His father has not been introduced. The anime suggests that his father was once a Pokémon Trainer who began his journey in Pallet Town, and that he is still living. In the original, he is also confirmed to have a grandfather, and his son (Ash's father) followed his footsteps. An interview with the series' storyboarder confirmed Ash's father is a Trainer on his own journey. According to the same storyboarder, Ash's father may or may not be introduced in the series, depending on its necessity to further Ash's maturity and development as a Trainer.

===Pokémon===

[[File:Ash Pokemon with Oak.png|thumb|right|300px|A majority of Ash's Pokémon at Professor Oak's lab]]
As a Trainer, Ash has captured and befriended a sizable number of Pokémon over the course of the anime. His philosophy on {{pkmn|training}} is that Pokémon are individuals and that a combination of trust, friendship and hard work are needed to overcome adversity. He seems to battle best with Pokémon that are similar to Pikachu: ones that are [[Appendix:Metagame terminology#Sweeper|speedy and maneuverable, yet able to perform high-powered attacks]]; however, he is willing to work with any Pokémon that comes into his care. Ash's battle style is generally spontaneous and fairly unorthodox, and his Pokémon often reflect these traits.

====Currently in rotation====


In the [[Unova]] region, Ash does not keep the same party at all times like he had done previously. Instead, he swaps his on hand Pokémon (with the exception of Pikachu), much like he did with his {{AP|Kingler}} and {{AP|Muk}} in [[Kanto]] with {{an|Professor Oak}}.

===In The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga===
{{main|Ash Ketchum (EToP)}}
Ash Ketchum is a starring character in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]], a manga series based on the anime. Ash's journey in The Electric Tale of Pikachu follows roughly the same plot as in the anime: first traveling the [[Kanto]] region to participate in the [[Pokémon League]], before embarking on a journey around the [[Orange Archipelago]].

===In the Magical Pokémon Journey manga===
[[File:Ash and Brock MPJ.png|thumb|Ash and Brock in Magical Pokémon Journey]]
Ash, along with {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}}, made cameo appearances in bonus chapters of the [[Magical Pokémon Journey]] manga. In the bonus chapters, Ash and {{ashfr}} have mistakenly wandered into the world Magical Pokémon Journey is set in. The bonus chapters chronicle their attempts to return to their own world (of the {{pkmn|anime}}) and their encounters with various aspects of the Magical Pokémon Journey canon which differ from the anime's canon (such as the use of [[Poké Ball]]s).

===In the movie adaptations===
[[File:DP series trio.png|thumb|left|200px|Ash with his friends in the movie 10 manga adaptation]]
Since Ash and his Pikachu have appeared in every [[Pokémon movie]] to date, likewise, Ash is a main character in every Pokémon movie manga adaptations. The same applies with Ash's team as they made similar appearances.

===In the Pocket Monsters Diamond & Pearl manga===
Ash and {{AP|Pikachu}} appear as main characters alongside {{an|Dawn}} and her {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} in the {{pkmn|manga}} series {{OBP|Pocket Monsters Diamond & Pearl|Sakai Takayuki}}, an adaptation of the anime set in the timeline of the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}.

==Trivia==
[[File:Ash catches a Pokemon.png|thumb|250px|Ash after catching a Pokémon]]
[[File:Ash Dewgong Drawing.png|thumb|200px|Ash's drawing of a Dewgong]]
* Ash has never officially caught a Pokémon of the {{t|Steel}}, {{t|Psychic}}, or {{t|Ghost}} types.
** This excludes both his unofficial {{TP|Sabrina|Haunter}}, a {{2t|Ghost|Poison}}-type, and in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]] manga, where he caught a {{p|Slowpoke}}, a {{2t|Water|Psychic}}-type.
* The date of Ash's birth, according to [[Takeshi Shudo]]'s anime novelizations, is 10 years, 10 months, and 10 days ''exactly'' prior to the day he began his Pokémon journey. Being that the same novelization declares that Pokémon Trainers obtain their first Pokémon in April of the year following their 10th birthday, and the anime itself began broadcast on the first of that month in 1997 in Japan, Ash's birthday, if April 1 was the first day of his journey, would be May 22.
* When [[Veronica Taylor]] was interviewed in the documentary "Adventures in Voice Acting", she stated that during her audition for the role of Ash, he was known as Casey at the time. This name would later be given to a {{an|Casey|recurring character from Johto}}.
* Ash can {{wp|drawing|draw}}, as shown in ''[[DP089|Up Close and Personable!]]'' when he drew a {{p|Dewgong}}.
* Ash has been shown to be a good climber, as mentioned in ''[[M04|Celebi: Voice of the Forest]]'' (when {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}} say "He climbs like a {{p|Mankey}}!") and ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'' (when Brock calls him a "human {{p|Aipom}}"). Ash's climbing ability has also been shown in several episodes throughout the series, such as ''[[BW002|Enter Iris and Axew!]]'', when he climbs up a tree to try to save {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{TP|Iris|Axew}}.
* Ash has lost a match against every {{type|Normal}} [[Gym Leader]] he has faced: [[Whitney]] in ''[[EP158|A Goldenrod Opportunity]]'', [[Norman]] in ''[[AG003|There's no Place Like Hoenn]]'', [[Lenora]] in ''[[BW015|The Battle According to Lenora]]'', and [[Cheren]] in ''[[BW111|There's a New Gym Leader in Town!]]''.

'''Misty''' (Japanese: '''カスミ''' ''Kasumi'') is a friend and former [[Ash's friends|traveling partner]] of [[Ash Ketchum]].

==Character==
[[File:MistyEP.png|thumb|left|200px|Misty as seen in the {{series|original}}]]
===Original series===
A stubborn tomboy, Misty is the youngest of [[The Sensational Sisters|four sisters]] who live in the Cerulean Gym. Fed up with her more glamorous older sisters, Misty left the Gym with the goal of becoming the world's greatest {{t|Water}} [[Pokémon Trainer]]. She met {{Ash}} when she "caught" him with her fishing line in a river between [[Pallet Town]] and [[Viridian City]]. She traveled around with Ash, {{an|Brock}}, and {{Tracey}} through the [[Kanto]] region, [[Orange Archipelago|Orange Islands]], and [[Johto]] region.

Her purpose was ostensibly to get Ash to replace her [[bicycle]], which he had accidentally destroyed when they first met. However, Misty often seemed to have forgotten about the bicycle, indicating that her real reason for following along was that she simply wanted to remain with her friends.

During her travels with Ash, she, aside from training to become the best {{t|Water}} [[Pokémon Trainer]], also acted as his coach in many Pokémon battles. She is somewhat considered as a rival to Ash due to their competitive nature. It was also her job to drag Brock away from women by his ear.

[[File:Mistys fear of bugs.png|thumb|right|200px|Misty showing her fear of bugs]]
Misty can be sweet and optimistic at times, but she is best known for how easily she can be angered, crazy, or frustrated, and how loud and violent she can become in response. She is very extreme in most of her moods, and can switch between them quickly. There are many episodes where she is seen getting along with the younger siblings of the family, namely [[Mikey]], [[Sakura]], and [[Max]]. This stems from the fact that she understands what it's like to be the youngest because she has three older sisters.

Her goals are not as clear as those of the other main characters, since though her main interest is {{pkmn|training}} {{type|Water}} Pokémon, there are many things she loves to do and she is very confident in her abilities in all aspects of life. [[Fishing]] is one of her hobbies, however, and she has a [[Misty's special lure|special lure]] which she designed to look like herself and gave to Ash as a gift. The one Pokémon [[type]] that Misty cannot stand are {{type|Bug}}s; she tends to freak out in most cases whenever she encounters a Bug-type, which was first demonstrated when she refused to befriend Ash's {{AP|Caterpie|Butterfree}}. However, bugs are only one of three things Misty strongly dislikes, the other two being {{wp|carrots}} and {{wp|peppers}}. The only Bug-type Pokémon Misty is not afraid of are the kinds that she deems "cute" or "pretty", like {{p|Ledyba}} and {{p|Butterfree}}, some belonging to her friends, like [[Tracey's Venonat]], or ones that don't look like bugs, like {{p|Pineco}}.

[[File:Baby Misty.png|thumb|200px|left|Young Misty]]
Misty participated in the [[Whirl Cup]] alongside Ash from ''[[EP215|Octillery the Outcast]]'' to ''[[EP217|The Perfect Match!]]''. She defeated Ash in battle in the second round. Misty made it all the way to the best eight of the Whirl Cup, but narrowly lost to [[Trinity]] in the end.

[[File:EP007.png|thumb|right|200px|Misty as a Gym Leader]]
After Ash competed in the [[Silver Conference]], however, her bicycle was repaired and returned to her by the [[Viridian City]] [[Nurse Joy]]. Misty was shown to be sad that she no longer had the convenient excuse to travel with Ash, especially when she saw that Ash hadn't learned that and had assumed she followed him because of her bike. In addition, her sisters {{an|Daisy}}, {{ka|Lily}}, and [[Violet]], called Misty at this time to tell her they were going on a world tour, and needed her to return to Cerulean and watch the Gym in their absence. However, Misty saw how Ash truly cared for her when he saved her from a trio of [[Invincible Pokémon Brothers|Pokémon gangsters]]. Misty wanted to stay with Ash, but felt it was her responsibility to take over the Gym, which would be shut down if left unattended.

Upon the return of her sisters, Misty remained the sole Cerulean [[Gym Leader]]. Since their return, only Daisy appears to spend any significant amount of time at the Gym.

While working in the Gym, Misty sometimes receives help from Tracey when he is either visiting or running an errand for {{an|Professor Oak}}.

===Advance Generation series===
Misty reappeared from ''[[AG044|The Princess and the Togepi]]'' to ''[[AG045|A Togepi Mirage!]]'' where she meets up with Ash and Brock again, along with meeting May and Max for the first time. During the episode ''A Togepi Mirage'', her Togepi evolves into a Togetic and helps defend the Togepi Paradise. Towards the end of the episode, Togetic decides to stay with the other Togepi to protect them, sharing one last tearful moment with Misty. She makes a cameo appearance in both ''[[AG126|Saved by the Beldum]]'' and ''[[AG128|Shocks and Bonds]]'', where she is seen watching Ash competing in the Hoenn League Tournament. She also makes three more appearances in the {{series|Advanced Generation}} from ''[[AG132|The Scheme Team]]'' to ''[[AG134|A Real Cleffa-Hanger]]'', as well as ''[[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]]''. She later appeared in flashbacks in ''[[AG189|Gathering the Gang of Four]]''.

===Diamond & Pearl series===
[[File:BrunettShipping High Touch.png|thumb|right|200px|Misty's appearance in ''[[High Touch!]]'']]
[[File:Brock Memories.png|thumb|left|200px|Misty in {{an|Brock}}'s memories in [[SS025]]]]
Misty has not physically appeared in the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}, but has been referenced. [[Misty's special lure]] appeared in ''[[DP034|Buizel Your Way out of This!]]'', and Misty appeared on {{an|Brock}}'s memory wall in the ''Diamond & Pearl'' special episode [[SS025]].

===Best Wishes series===
Misty has only appeared in flashbacks in the {{series|Best Wishes}}. She and Brock made an appearance in ''[[BW116|Fires of a Red-Hot Reunion]]'' during Ash's flashbacks of his and {{AP|Charizard}}'s friendship.

{{-}}
Former director and storyboard artist of the [[Pokémon anime]], [[Masamitsu Hidaka]], stated in [http://www.pokebeach.com/news/0708/interview-with-masamitsu-hidaka-at-anime-expo an interview] that Misty will not return as a main character in future seasons, but she will continue to make cameo appearances from time to time like she has in the past. He also mentioned {{pkmn|Contests}} in connection with Misty, although the translator neglected to mention what was meant by this.
{{-}}

==Appearance==
Misty's usual hairstyle is a side ponytail which sticks out on the left side of her head. There are times she has let her hair down: sometimes when she goes to sleep, when wearing formal outfits like a kimono, or when wearing her mermaid costume in ''[[EP061|The Misty Mermaid]]'' and ''[[SS002|Cerulean Blues]]''. Misty is also notably taller than Ash but shorter than Brock. She has worn three main outfits in the series and all of them sport the colors yellow, blue, and red.

==Pokémon==
Either through the tradition of her family's Gym or merely her love of them, Misty prefers to train Water Pokémon. She usually bases her choice of Pokémon to train by looks, preferring Pokémon that she thinks of as "cute" over ones that she thinks are "ugly," but is willing to overcome such differences. Her love of water Pokémon stems from the fact that they are extremely flexible in battle, meaning that they can easily adapt to the opponent, as she stated in ''[[EP240|Some Like It Hot]]''. Since becoming Gym Leader, she has overcome her fear of Gyarados and continues to learn more about caring and battling with water Pokémon as challengers come to the [[Cerulean Gym]].

This is a listing of Misty's Pokémon as of the most recent Japanese episode. As she is currently residing in the Cerulean Gym, all of her Pokémon are there and none are listed as "on hand."

==In the manga==
===In the Ash and Pikachu manga===
Misty is a main character in the [[Ash and Pikachu]] manga, based on the [[Pokémon anime]]. In this manga, Misty is often portrayed as being bad-tempered. She also talks about being ladylike often, and wishes that {{Ash}} and {{an|Brock}} would treat her with more respect as a lady.

[[File:Misty EToP.png|thumb|right|Misty in The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]

===In The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga===
Misty is a recurring character in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]], a {{pkmn|manga}} series based on the Pokémon anime.

She first appears in the chapter ''[[ET01|Pikachu, I See You]]''. She takes a liking to [[Ash's Pikachu]] and tells {{Ash}} about what it takes to be a professional Pokémon Trainer. Ash steals her [[bicycle]] later to rush Pikachu to a [[Pokémon Center]] after being injured by a flock of {{p|Spearow}}.

She travels with Ash for the following chapter, ''[[ET02|Play Misty For Me]]'', expecting Ash to repay her for her bike. Later in the same chapter, when Ash arrives in [[Cerulean City]], he battles her instead of [[The Sensational Sisters]]. Misty awards Ash the {{Badge|Cascade}} when his {{AP|Fearow}} takes back his {{AP|hat}} from Misty's head.

Misty disappears from the manga until Ash and {{an|Brock}} bump into her at the [[Nomads Independence Day]] festival in ''[[ET05|The Human Race and the Pokémon Race]]''. After this, she is a common traveling companion to Ash and Brock, though they still part ways at times, such as when Misty and [[Duplica]] search for wild {{p|Ditto}} in ''[[ET07|Pikachu's Excellent Adventure]]''.

[[File:Misty MPJ.png|thumb|right|Misty in Magical Pokémon Journey]]
Misty, along with {{Ash}} and {{an|Brock}}, make cameo appearances in bonus chapters of the [[Magical Pokémon Journey]] manga. In the bonus chapters, Misty and co. have mistakenly wandered into the world Magical Pokémon Journey is set in. The bonus chapters chronicle their attempts to return to their own world (of the {{pkmn|anime}}) and their encounters with various aspects of the Magical Pokémon Journey canon which differ from the anime's canon (such as the use of [[Poké Ball]]s).

==Trivia==
* Even though Misty is said to be 10 in the anime, she is said to be 12 in the first manga issue where she is introduced.
* Misty is the only one of the main characters to have [[Misty's Staryu|a Pokémon]] along with its [[Misty's Starmie|evolved form]] on her team at the same time.
* Misty is the first of [[Ash's friends]] to challenge a Gym (albeit an unofficial Gym), since she challenged and won against [[Dorian|the unofficial Johto Water Gym Leader]] in ''[[EP256|Just Add Water]]''.
* She is the only main character to have genderless Pokémon in her [[party|team]]. In fact, she has two, {{TP|Misty|Staryu}} and {{TP|Misty|Starmie}}.
* She is the first main character to be seen owning a [[Generation II]] Pokémon, that Pokémon being Togepi.
* Misty is the only one of her sisters not named after a flower, the names of her sisters being Daisy, Violet, and Lily. However, she does have the name for {{wp|baby's breath}} in Japanese.
* Misty is the first victim of the recurring gag in the anime where Ash's Pikachu destroys every main female character's bike. This gag was also transferred to May and Dawn. However this gag did not affect Iris, instead Pikachu zapped Iris herself.

'''Meowth''' (Japanese: '''ニャース''' ''Nyarth'') is a member of [[Team Rocket]] in a [[Team Rocket trio|trio]] with [[Jessie]] and [[James]].

==In the anime==
===History===
[[File:Young Meowth.png|thumb|left|200px|Meowth as an infant]]
Meowth's earliest memory is being alone at [[Camp Pokéhearst]]. With no food, he was always starving, and tipped over a basket of baseballs believing it was food. As punishment for tipping the basket over, the baseball coach hung him from a tree; from this tree, he was able to see a movie called ''{{DL|Movies in the Pokémon world|That Darn Meowth!}}'', which depicted a Meowth in [[Hollywood]] being given delicious food by its family. Meowth instantly decided to go to Hollywood, which he believed would be a paradise.

However, when he arrived in Hollywood, he was merely a stray Pokémon, and was constantly being chased for stealing food. Soon, a Meowth gang, led by a {{p|Persian}}, took him in. Meowth lived on the streets as a member of the gang for a long time; the gang annoyed the humans in town, stealing food and causing trouble in general. One day, Meowth came across a female Meowth named [[Meowzie]]. She rejected him, saying that he was poor and that she preferred [[human]]s, so Meowth attempted to make himself more human-like to make her love him. Thus, he painstakingly taught himself to speak human language and walk upright like a human. When he approached her after this transformation, she once again rejected him, calling him a freak. Heartbroken, Meowth remembered the first human word he learned to speak—"rocket"—and was inspired to join Team Rocket.

There has been some debate as to whether or not Meowth was ever {{an|Giovanni}}'s "Top Cat" (personal pet). He has stated himself as such in front of Giovanni with no objection (only to say that {{TP|Giovanni|Persian}} was now in that position). Yet in ''[[SS012|Training Daze]]'', he was shown to have been present at [[Team Rocket HQ]] for a short time, during which we see that Persian is already there. During this time, Meowth became a servant to Giovanni, bringing him food and drinks; however, he was unsuccessful at this task because he tripped over a wire, spilled Giovanni's coffee and got himself electrocuted. Giovanni didn't appear to be angry, but he assigned Meowth to Jessie and James's team. In light of this, it should be noted that ''[[SS012|Training Daze]]'' potentially contradicted other stated facts from previous episodes regarding Team Rocket's back story.

In ''[[EP070|Go West, Young Meowth]]'', Meowth, Jessie, and James returned to Hollywood while following {{Ash}}, and Meowth was reunited with Meowzie, who had since been abandoned by her mistress and was forced to join the gang of street Meowth. Meowth fought his former Persian leader to win Meowzie's love, and won, but Meowzie demonstrated that her loyalty was with Persian since he took care of her when she needed it, and Meowth was once again heartbroken.

Because of the effort Meowth exerted while learning to speak and walk like a human, he has not learned the [[signature move]] of his species, {{m|Pay Day}}. In ''[[EP096|Meowth Rules]]'', Meowth was worshiped by an island of people who believed that he could bring them riches with Pay Day. When he was caught in a battle meant to induce Pay Day, Jessie and James had to secretly bail him out by throwing the last of their spare change and some of James's prized bottlecaps in order to appease the islanders. Upon learning of his species' love for gathering coins and shiny objects from Ash's [[Pokédex]] later in ''[[AG109|Do I Hear a Ralts?]]'', Jessie criticized him for not doing so.

[[File:Team Rocket Meowth Earlier Design.png|thumb|200px|Meowth as seen in his debut episode]]
Several times, Meowth and Pikachu have had to team up, such as in the episodes ''[[EP104|Bound for Trouble]]'' and ''[[EP274|Hoenn Alone]]'' when both were separated from their respective parties. His relationship with Jessie and James varies in quality; for example, in ''[[EP070|Go West, Young Meowth]]'' they stated that they regarded Meowth as a friend, but in ''[[EP104|Bound for Trouble]]'', having discovered Meowth and Pikachu after the two had been stuck together, they both stated that they had really been looking for Pikachu and Meowth was just 'part of the package'. Meowth seems to have aspects of each of his teammates in him; in arguments, he can often be seen siding with either Jessie (usually denouncing James' incompetence) or James (usually complaining about Jessie's overdramatic and rash behavior). Despite these fights, the three remain very close and loyal friends, although at one point in Giovanni's Gym in Viridian City, they threatened to split up. However they realized they had over reacted, and became friends again, proving themselves very loyal to each other.

Meowth has also, since late [[Johto]], had frequent [[Boss fantasy|fantasies]] about presenting Giovanni with various Pokémon. These fantasies often involve whatever creature it happens to be assisting Giovanni in his daily routine.

Much like [[Ash's Pikachu]], Meowth does not stay inside a [[Poké Ball]], but is technically a [[wild Pokémon]] unlike Pikachu. Strangely, though he first appeared in the second episode, in an era where {{Ash}} scanned nearly every Pokémon he came into contact with his [[Pokédex]], it took until ''[[AG109|Do I Hear a Ralts?]]'' for Ash to do this to Meowth. However, this was a mere accident: Meowth was dressed up like a {{p|Kirlia}}, and Ash had never seen one before. In ''[[DP002|Two Degrees of Separation]]'', {{an|Dawn}}, unlike Ash, scanned him right away. She also made the same mistake as Ash when she scanned Meowth as a {{p|Shiftry}} in ''[[DP014|Leave it to Brocko!]]''. Also, in the episode ''[[EP084|The Lost Lapras]]'', {{Tracey}} started examining Meowth (despite not having a Pokédex), but only because he was interested in the fact that he could talk.

Meowth normally does not battle unless there are extreme circumstances; his explanation is that his ability to talk and walk upright came at the expense of battling ability. However, when forced to fight, Meowth is fairly resourceful, such as dumping a bucket of water on an {{p|Onix}} to weaken it. In ''[[DP103|Jumping Rocket Ship]]'', however, Meowth fought extremely well, even knocking out {{an|Barry}}'s {{TP|Barry|Empoleon}} with {{m|Fury Swipes}}, which normally wouldn't do much damage. Yet just two episodes later, in ''[[DP105|Get Your Rotom Running!]]'', Meowth was unable to break a display case using {{m|Scratch}}. Meowth's Fury Swipes attack was shown to slice dough in order to make ramen in the episode, ''[[DP117|Noodles! Roamin' Off!]]''. {{si|Christopher}}, a former Team Rocket member and the owner of the ramen shop, saw Meowth do this and asked him to work in his restaurant as a noodle maker. After some thought, which included reflecting back on previous failures and the lack of appreciation and respect from Jessie and James, Meowth quit the Team Rocket Trio and accepted the offer. However, he eventually rejoined the group after hearing that James and Jessie were in danger.

Meowth has used his claws to pick locks on several occasions, such as when Jessie, James, and he wanted to get into the [[Old Chateau]] in [[Canalave City]].

[[File:Meowth DP146 noodle appeal.png|thumb|220px|Meowth slicing ramen]]
[[Jessie]] also used him during the [[Princess Day|Princess Festival]] in the episode ''[[EP052|Princess vs. Princess]]'', Jessie's Contest in ''[[AG115|Mean With Envy]]'' and the [[Pokémon Ping Pong Tournament]] in ''[[DP124|To Thine Own Pokémon Be True!]]''.

In the Appeals Round in the Contest, he created an ice sculpture of {{an|Giovanni}}, [[Giovanni's Persian|his Persian]] and himself.

In "the Jester"'s battle with [[Erica]], he used "{{m|Transform}}". He did this by using the pouch attached to his belly. He transformed into a {{p|Sunflora}} first, using {{m|Razor Leaf}} against {{p|Jynx}}. Later, he transformed into a {{p|Kirlia}} and again into a {{p|Wailord}}. He popped the inflatable Wailord with his claws and "the Jester" was eventually disqualified.

In ''[[DP124|To Thine Own Pokémon Be True!]]'', Jessie and Meowth were disqualified from the [[Pokémon Ping Pong Tournament]] because Meowth sliced the ball with his claws instead of hitting it. In ''[[DP146|Dressed for Jess Success!]]'', James disguised as Jessilina due to Jessie being sick. Meowth, following his promise in ''[[DP123|Old Rivals, New Tricks!]]'', is used for the appeal, where he used his talent for slicing ramen noodles. The two then gave the judges the ramen to taste, which was declared to be of excellent quality. Upon seeing the appeal on TV, Christopher became very proud.

In ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'', Meowth first made an appearance in the opening song when he and Team Rocket were powering a blimp by peddling on a bike. However, they grew tired and crashed before they had a chance to do anything. Not too long after, Team Rocket appeared again when [[Kevin]] explained [[Sheena]]'s ability to communicate with Pokémon. Meowth appeared later in the movie when {{p|Arceus}} was floating down to investigate the fake [[Jewel of Life]]. After Arceus found out the Jewel was fake, it attacked the group. Ash, Sheena, Kevin, Dawn and Brock escaped, but Team Rocket was caught in the explosion and ended up being washed into the lake. Meowth made minor appearances throughout the rest of the movie as the battle between the legendary Pokémon continued. Meowth also made an appearance in the credits, when an {{p|Electrode}} used Explosion on Team Rocket when they sneaked into the corn field.

In the {{series|Best Wishes}}, Jessie, James, and Meowth were sent to the [[Unova]] region under orders from Giovanni after they were promoted in ''[[DP191|Memories are Made of Bliss!]]''. To prevent them from getting too much attention, Giovanni did not allow Jessie's and James's other Pokémon to be sent to them, only making them use Pokémon native to Unova. This, however, made Meowth think of what would happen to him. Throughout most of the series, Meowth and his two friends were presented as horribly failing and erroneous criminals, always failing in their missions to capture Ash's Pikachu or other Pokémon. Recently, however, he, along with the rest of his team, developed a more serious attitude in their work, as he had when first introduced, being quicker-witted and much more resourceful than before and using ingenious methods of escape and thus proving much more difficult for Ash to defeat. He has also demonstrated much more battling skill than before, being agile enough to land on his feet when blown back by Ash's {{tp|Ash|Pidove}}'s [[Gust]], and unlike before, does not horribly injure himself in battle. In ''[[BW115|The Pokémon Harbor Patrol!]]'', he, along with Jessie and James demonstrate their agility easily dodging {{AP|Pikachu}}'s {{m|Thunderbolt}}. In [[BW122]], the extension of his battling skill is shown that he can take on multiple opponents, taking on [[Team Plasma]]'s {{p|Liepard}}.

In ''[[BW042|Club Battle Finale: A Hero's Outcome!]]'', while in [[Nimbasa City]], Team Rocket prepared to put their latest plan into action. Later, in the [[BW043|next episode]], Meowth was found injured by Ash, Iris and Cilan. While recovering, Meowth explained that while in Nimbasa City, he had botched up Team Rocket's scheme badly and was fired by Giovanni, leading to Jessie and James turning their backs on him. Later, [[Iris's Axew]] was kidnapped by a {{p|Scrafty}}, who wanted Axew's help to get its home back from a {{p|Mandibuzz}}. Using his ability to speak to both Pokémon and humans, Meowth not only helped get Axew back but also helped Scrafty get its home back and helped Mandibuzz return to her original nest. Afterwards, Meowth decided to travel with Ash and his friends, only for Iris to attempt to capture him in a {{ball|Poké}}. The capture nearly succeeded but Meowth broke out and told her he was going to help her regardless. Ever since, it seems to have become a running gag that he ends up in a Poké Ball at one point in an episode, as Iris tried twice (one of which was because Meowth didn't want a Purrloin to get caught), and by [[Cliff]]. However, in ''[[BW047|Crisis from the Underground Up!]]'', it was revealed that Meowth's being fired was fake and all just one of Team Rocket's schemes to steal all the Pokémon from Nimbasa City's Pokémon Center.

He along with [[Jessie]] and [[James]] later reappeared starting in ''[[BW109|New Places... Familiar Faces!]]''.

In ''[[BW119|Meowth, Colress and Team Rivalry!]]'', {{TRT}} invaded Colress's newest laboratory and drew his security into a trap in the woods. Once Colress was alone, Meowth approached him and attempted to convince him to join Team Rocket. Colress refused, but offered to allow Meowth to participate in an experiment to increase his strength. Meowth agreed, having undergone training to resist the mind control device. However, Colress still managed to take control of Meowth, and ordered him to attack Jessie and James. Using {{TP|Jessie|Frillish}} and {{TP|James|Amoonguss}}, they managed to snap him out of it before escaping.

===Personality and characteristics===
{{bulbanews|Personality & Development: Meowth}}
Meowth has an ambitious, conniving, and idealistic personality. He has made it his life goal to please Giovanni (or "Boss", as he and his teammates call Giovanni), and will stop at nothing to capture or steal useful or rare {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, especially [[Ash's Pikachu]], which he has been pursuing since he encountered him in ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency]]''. Unlike most other Pokémon, who are not truly evil and will only commit evil deeds when ordered to do so, as stated by [[Jessie]]'s {{TP|Jessie|Ekans|Arbok}} in ''[[EP017|Island of the Giant Pokémon]]'', Meowth is both perfectly capable of and willing to commit evil deeds without the aid of others.

Despite his seemingly outgoing nature, Meowth also has a contemplative inner side not seen as often. In one of his image songs, ''[[Meowth's Song]]'', and in ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', he is shown to be a bit of a philosopher. In ''Mewtwo Strikes Back'', he and his clone (in addition to Pikachu) were the only Pokémon not to participate in the giant battle, Meowth remarking (in the dub) that the originals and the clones shared the same air, moon, and planet, giving them common ground. Meowth comforted [[Ash's Chimchar]] in ''[[DP053|Tears For Fears!]]'' and actually expressed some admiration for Ash and his friends, commenting, "You (Chimchar) have buddies who'd give you the shirt off their backs if you needed one." It is possible during that time that Meowth developed a friendship with it, as seen in ''[[DP187|A Real Rival Rouser]]'' when he, [[Jessie]] and [[James]] cheered it on, and in ''[[Evolving Strategies]]'' when he was happy to see it evolve. On a few occasions, Meowth has become stranded with Pikachu, and during these times, the two work together fairly well. Pikachu distrusts Meowth for obvious reasons, but Meowth is more willing to let go of the past and work together. Usually, by the end of these episodes, Meowth will betray Pikachu once they find Jessie and James.
[[File:Meowth in love.png|thumb|250px|Meowth in love]]
Meowth is an amorous Pokémon, developing crushes on occasion (obviously not as much as {{an|Brock}}, but still a fair amount). The first of these was the aforementioned Meowzie. The next one seen is [[Cassandra]], the (human) herbalist. Due to this infatuation, he decided to help her {{p|Paras}} evolve. However, he was replaced by a {{p|Persian}} so that he can continue traveling with Jessie and James, as Cassandra thought he was a hero and should continue doing his (not so) good work with Team Rocket. After this, three more cat-based Pokémon followed, beginning with [[May's Skitty]]. However, due to the fact that [[Jessie]] wanted to catch the Skitty, Meowth helped Skitty escape in order to avoid Skitty getting hurt with the rest of the team. Later on, in ''[[SS009|Big Meowth, Little Dreams]]'' he fell in love with another Skitty. In ''[[DP178|For The Love Of Meowth]]'', Meowth fell in love with a {{p|Glameow}} this time, one that belongs to [[Mamie]]. Similar to May's Skitty, Meowth tried to get away from Jessie and James so Glameow would not join them in blasting off. After Meowth was surrounded by Jessie, James, {{Ash}}, {{an|Dawn}}, {{an|Brock}} and Mamie, Meowth gained power from the love he felt, allowing him to defeat several Pokémon thrown at him, including [[Ash's Infernape]] and {{AP|Staraptor}}, [[Jessie's Seviper]] and {{TP|Jessie|Yanmega}} and [[Dawn's Togekiss]]. However, after getting hit with [[James's Carnivine]]'s {{m|Bullet Seed}}, Glameow evolved into Purugly and squished Meowth, making Meowth lose his feelings for her. In ''[[BW038|Movie Time! Zorua in "The Legend of the Pokémon Knight"!]]'', [[Luke's Zorua]] used this trait to her advantage and turned into a female {{p|Meowth}} causing Meowth to become infatuated and unable to do her harm. He did this again in ''[[BW044|Purrloin: Sweet or Sneaky?]]'' when he fell in love with a {{p|Purrloin}} he thought was female. During the time when Meowth was traveling with the group, Oshawott fought with him, usually when the two exploit two of their characteristics at the same time (falling in love with the same Pokémon, or when their prides are being entangled).

Meowth also has demonstrated aspirations of being a parent-like caretaker, coddling {{TP|Misty|Togepi|Togetic}}'s Egg before fighting for custody of it, only to finally lose it to {{an|Misty}}. To regain custody of Togepi, he even defeated [[Brock's Onix]] by throwing a bucket of water in its face and finishing it with a Fury Swipes attack to the head.

In Japanese, he often puts the word "''Nya''" into his sentences, the equivalent of a meow in Japanese. This was abandoned in the English dub shortly after the beginning of the series. Because Meowth can speak human language but is a Pokémon, he is useful as a Pokémon translator. Despite being a Pokémon though, he is in charge of building and repairing the machines used by his team.

'''Moves Improvised'''

[[File:Meowth Fury Swipes of Love.png|thumb|Meowth using "Fury Swipes of Love"|240px]]
* In ''[[EP104|Bound For Trouble]]'', Meowth jumped onto a {{p|Rhydon}} and used an improvised {{m|Tickle}} attack, however the move Tickle wasn't released until Generation III.
* Meowth claimed to be learning {{m|Night Slash}} in ''[[DP103|Jumping Rocket Ship!]]'', but he has never been seen using the move. The reason to this is that he claimed the move too scary to use.
* Meowth also improvised a move that he called "{{m|Fury Swipes}} of Love" in the episode ''[[DP178|For The Love Of Meowth]]'' to protect a {{p|Glameow}} he was in love with.

==In the games==
===Pokémon Yellow===
Meowth appears as part of [[Jessie]] and [[James]]'s team each time they appear in {{game|Yellow}}, alongside {{TP|Jessie|Ekans|Arbok}}, {{TP|James|Koffing|Weezing}}, and their evolved forms.

[[File:Zany Cards Meowth.png|thumb|right|Meowth in [[Pokémon Zany Cards]]]]
In Special Seven mode, Meowth appears as card #2. When the Meowth card is used, he will force the opponent to draw 2 cards. This can be countered if the player has another Meowth card, in which case the effect will pass on to the next player, unless they also have a Meowth card, and so on.

Meowth also makes a cameo in Four Kings mode. When the game is won, he tells the player to try the next level of difficulty. Meowth also appears on the box art.

===Super Smash Bros. Melee===
Meowth appears as a trophy. This trophy is unlocked after obtaining each All-Star trophy for all 25 playable characters.
====Melee trophy information====
''This...is Meowth's dream. Meowth strides all over the globe scattering invitations to other Pokemon, insisting they come to "[[Meowth's Party]]". At this wonderful party, guests are packed in like sardines as Meowth climbs up the stage with its faithful guitar. It strikes a chord, pauses, and then rocks their world.''

===Pokémon Channel===
Meowth appears on the PNF (Pokémon News Flash), along with {{p|Psyduck}}. He goes out and interviews random Pokémon in random locations.

Meowth also appears in ''[[Pichu Bros. in Party Panic]]'', along with [[Jessie's Wobbuffet]] and the [[Squirtle Squad]]. He plans a party for himself and invites all the Pokémon from [[Big Town]].

==In the manga==
[[File:Meowth EToP.png|thumb|right|Meowth in The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga]]
===In the Ash and Pikachu manga===
In the {{pkmn|manga}} series [[Ash and Pikachu]], based on the {{pkmn|anime}}, Meowth appears along with the rest of the [[Team Rocket trio]], [[Jessie]] and [[James]].

===In The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga===
[[File:Meowth Team Rocket M10 manga.png|thumb|Meowth in the Rise of Darkrai manga adaptation]]
Meowth appears in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]] {{pkmn|manga}} series along with his teammates [[Jessie]] and [[James]].

His first appearance is in the chapter ''[[ET07|Pikachu's Excellent Adventure]]''. He is searching for the [[Hidden Village]] with Jessie and James when he runs into {{ka|Tommy}}, {{AP|Pikachu}} and other Pokémon, who are also searching for the village. Meowth offers them free breakfast (made by Jessie and James) and the trio travel with them to the village. Later, he is expelled from the Hidden Village by {{p|Kangaskhan}} when Jessie and James try to steal the Pokémon.

Meowth makes his next appearance in ''[[ET08|You Gotta Have Friends]]'', when he, Jessie and James attempt to steal a herd of wild {{p|Pikachu}}. Following this, the [[Team Rocket trio]] begin regularly appearing in the manga, following Ash to the [[Pokémon League]] championship at [[Indigo Plateau]] and cheering him on at the [[Orange League]].

===In the movie manga adaptations===

==Trivia==
* There is some inconsistency as to whether or not Meowth hates water. In ''[[Snow Way Out!]]'', what he wanted was a hot spring, and in ''[[EP050|Who Gets to Keep Togepi?]]'', he is seen taking a bath with the egg that will hatch into {{TP|Misty|Togepi}}, and at least twice he suggests that all three of them go into the water (once in ''[[EP055|Pokémon Paparazzi]]'' and once in ''[[EP085|Fit to be Tide]]''). However, in ''[[EP016|Pokémon Shipwreck]]'', ''[[EP079|Friend and Foe Alike]]'' and ''[[SS009|Big Meowth, Little Dreams (Part 1)]]'', he hates water, as he is a cat.
* Meowth will often replace the words "Me" or "Mouth" with "Meowth". Similar puns are also used in the Japanese version.
[[File:Meowth without charm.png|thumb|right|Meowth without his koban]]
* The {{wp|Koban (coin)|koban}} embedded in Meowth's forehead had apparently been lost in ''[[EP047|A Chansey Operation]]'' after an accident, forcing him to search for it desperately. At the end of the episode, however, it was discovered that it had simply been jammed into his head by the impact.
** Additionally, Meowth had a fantasy about replacing the gold koban with a crystal one in ''[[EP087|The Crystal Onix]]''.
*** In the English dub, Meowth referred his koban as a charm.
* Meowth claims he is unable to learn Pay Day as a trade off for learning to speak. He claims to have 'used up all his move slots' doing so.
* In the {{pmin|Latin America}}n Spanish dub, he is referred to as "Chimuelo" ("toothless") by James, a common form used in Mexico.
* Meowth is the only Pokémon to have ever been a [[Gym Leader]], briefly sharing the title with Jessie and James in ''[[EP063|The Battle of the Badge]]''.
* Meowth is the first [[talking Pokémon]] in the anime. He is also one of the few talking Pokémon that don't do so telepathically.
