== Hope you're not working on classifying "[[side-effects]]" ==

Imma start work on the talk page to make a parseable table. --[[User:Raijinili|Raijinili]] ([[User talk:Raijinili|talk]]) 03:39, 5 January 2014 (UTC)
:I'm currently just going through all the moves (alphabetically) to figure out which ones have side effects. I don't mind you helping out.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 03:49, 5 January 2014 (UTC)
::I'm up to Powder Snow >.>. I'm doing it a different way. --[[User:Raijinili|Raijinili]] ([[User talk:Raijinili|talk]]) 04:18, 5 January 2014 (UTC)
Recoil, user-stat lowering (Close Combat), and draining are not "additional effects". They might be called primary effects. Additional effects are generally those that are affected by {{a|Sheer Force}}, {{a|Shield Dust}}, and {{a|Serene Grace}}, and none of those are. --[[User:Raijinili|Raijinili]] ([[User talk:Raijinili|talk]]) 22:09, 14 January 2014 (UTC)

== Tacopill ==

Force Fire, Tacopill had made more than three userspace edits, will you warn this user about the userspace policy? [[User:Cinday123|Cinday123]] ''([[User talk:Cinday123|Talk]])'' 02:49, 9 January 2014 (UTC)

== Old spellings for older moves ==

Force Fire, will you undo my edits since you said we are allowed to use new spellings in the anime, because we do not need old spellings. [[User:Cinday123|Cinday123]] ''([[User talk:Cinday123|Talk]])'' 03:18, 9 January 2014 (UTC)
:I would like to know why you yourself can't do the task. You can simply undo them by going to the history tab, find your edit and click the undo button next to it.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 03:24, 9 January 2014 (UTC)

== Archive protection ==

Hey, can you protect my talk page archive ({{ut|Funktastic~!/Archive 2}}}? Thanks in advance. --[[User:Funktastic~!|'''It's''' '''Funktastic~!''']][[User talk:Funktastic~!|''話してください'']] 08:01, 17 January 2014 (UTC)

== Item maniac in Generation VI ==

Force Fire, do an item maniac make a return in Generation VI or not? --[[User:Cinday123|Cinday123]] ''([[User talk:Cinday123|Talk]])'' 10:28, 19 January 2014 (UTC)
:I wouldn't know, I don't have the game. --[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 11:02, 19 January 2014 (UTC)

==Meta game trivia==
''[[User:Force Fire/Trivia Policy/Species#Unnotable|This sort of trivia are unnotable as we are a wiki, not a strategy guide.]]'' While this is usually practiced on other pages, there a few notable exceptions… 18 of them, to be exact. Each type's {{DL|Fairy (type)|Characteristics}} section is basically a miniature Smogon, complete with popular moves, strategies, and evaluation of metagame effectiveness. Much of these Characteristics are theories based on metagame critique. To put it simply: Why are these here? Moves aren't analyzed like this, Pokémon pages don't get anything like this. So why the types, which on their own don't really provide much of an education into the metagame? Sorry to bug you, but I felt like raising the question. --[[User:IWannaBeTheVeryBest|The]]Very[[User talk:IWannaBeTheVeryBest|Best]] 08:14, 23 January 2014 (UTC)
:This is something I've been wondering myself too, but never really bothered to bring up. I'll mention this to the other staff members and I'll have an answer afterwards.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 01:58, 24 January 2014 (UTC)

==Mewtwo edit warring==
There have been 10 edits on [[Mewtwo (Pokémon)#Biology|Mewtwo's Bio]] since yesterday arguing about who created it in the games, anime, etc. Help us, Forcey-wan Firobi; you're our only hope. --[[User:IWannaBeTheVeryBest|The]]Very[[User talk:IWannaBeTheVeryBest|Best]] 19:56, 23 January 2014 (UTC)
:Anyone who's seen the movie or played the games should now who created Mewtwo in their respected mediums. A group of Scientist for the anime, and an unknown scientist in the games.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 01:58, 24 January 2014 (UTC)

==Team Plasma==
What was wrong with Team Plasma's article? Likewise that of the Team Plasma grunts?

[[User:Jdogno4|Jdogno4]] ([[User talk:Jdogno4|talk]]) 09:07, 30 January 2014 (UTC)
:There was nothing wrong with the pages in the first place. You just simply made unnecessary changes, there was nothing wrong with the grammar.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 09:11, 30 January 2014 (UTC)

Oy, what's the idea with locking the article page. {{unsigned|Jdogno4}}
:I locked it as you keep adding those unnecessary changes. [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/User_talk:Jdogno4#Re:What.27s_the_problem.3F Did you read your talk page?] cause it looks like you didn't. I will not repeat what is said on your talk page, as that pretty much sums it up.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 06:10, 1 February 2014 (UTC)

==Archives editing and uploading==
Looks like the Archives are once again locked due of upgrading the site, and I can't upload WTP_XY003.png picture that I found it. http://s1097.photobucket.com/user/Keroromaniac/media/Keroro%20Gunsou%20and%20animes/WTP_XY003_zps0a790145.png.html Would you add this picture, so I can add it on the episode XY003 and ''Who's That Pokémon?'' pages? Pikachu65 10:22, 2 February 2014 (UTC)
:Not sure if the archives are safe to edit/upload. Not sure if the upgrade is done yet. So just wait for a few days.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 02:13, 3 February 2014 (UTC)
::Right. I found this! Can you tell me if it's an error or not? 'Cause I'm going to add it. http://s1097.photobucket.com/user/Keroromaniac/media/Keroro%20Gunsou%20and%20animes/SOFCJ-RawsPocketMonstersXY-09TVO1280x720x264AACmp4_snapshot_1557_20140206_141610_zps71125d92.png.html I've also noticed Bonnie and Serena were imitating Caterpie and Swadloon. We can't add this because it's a waste of time. Pikachu65 13:22, 6 February 2014 (UTC)
:::So... what's the error? You can't just expect me to magically know what I'm looking for.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 13:37, 6 February 2014 (UTC)
::::Alright now, it's Clemont's teeth, you can see the colors of Afternoon, right? And they are white, not in the colorization of Afternoon. You know what I mean. I guess adding Bonnie and Serena imitating Caterpie and Swadloon would be added, huh? Pikachu65 13:41, 6 February 2014 (UTC)
:::::Ehh, for me, it's not much of a big deal. So I'd say no. Also, not sure if you want to put the Serena and Bonnie thing as an error or if it is a trivial thing, because either way, it's not notable.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 13:46, 6 February 2014 (UTC)
::::::Well, Clemont's teeth error would be notable (I mean white color in the colorization of afternoon?), but Bonnie and Serena imitating Caterpie and Swadloon would be added to the trivia, so it will do a trick here. Pikachu65 13:49, 6 February 2014 (UTC)
:::::::Like I said, not a big deal. The Serena and Bonnie thing is not notable. The only reason we mention Pikachu doing imitations is because it is a series running thing that has been happening for a while. Bonnie and Serena doing it in one episode is not notable.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 13:52, 6 February 2014 (UTC)
::::::::Yes! They were doing this for fun, that's all. So this one http://s1097.photobucket.com/user/Keroromaniac/media/Keroro%20Gunsou%20and%20animes/SOFCJ-RawsPocketMonstersXY-09TVO1280x720x264AACmp4_snapshot_1557_20140206_141610_zps71125d92.png.html is not a big deąl, really. Pikachu65 13:54, 6 February 2014 (UTC)

== Pokemon Conquest Moves ==

Hello. Not long before I posted this, I was adding tables to the various moves used in Pokemon conquest. However, I happened to find a website where they use images right from the game to show the area of effect moves have, such as [http://veekun.com/dex/media/chrome/conquest-move-ranges/tile-1-ahead-knockback.png this one here]. Would it be preferred for me to stick to the tables being used now, or to upload these images and use them instead? [[User:Drake Clawfang|Drake Clawfang]] ([[User talk:Drake Clawfang|talk]]) 21:14, 2 February 2014 (UTC)
:Try bringing this up to {{u|Kogoro}}, as she's the Archive's Editor in Chief, so her input would be important. --[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 02:13, 3 February 2014 (UTC)
::Will do. [[User:Drake Clawfang|Drake Clawfang]] ([[User talk:Drake Clawfang|talk]]) 04:42, 3 February 2014 (UTC)

== Error Images ==

For the error images, is the staff aware about any of the pages with more than five error images? That way, if they are, I won't put in any tags telling them which page has over five. [[User:Pattyman|Patty]][[User talk:Pattyman|Man]] 02:51, 9 February 2014 (UTC)
:Considering the fact there is over 800 episode episode page, I don't think the staff are keeping track of how many images are there on the page. We trust that users will follow the five image per episode rule. --[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 03:23, 9 February 2014 (UTC)
::Ok. [[User:Pattyman|Patty]][[User talk:Pattyman|Man]] 03:35, 9 February 2014 (UTC)

== Edits ==

I will resume lurking and the occasional spelling/grammar edit, then, if that's okay with you. As I come from a large wiki, where we have our own little cliques, seeing a new person being bold tends to ruffle a lot of feathers, and I haven't really seen a "be bold" policy here. Thus, since there is none, then I will stop being bold and resume the occasional maintenance edit.

The confusion resulted from the userpage being displayed and basically a message asking for edits. I supplied what information I could, section by section, as opening a very large page in its entirety is very confusing. It is much easier to keep track of what's done by working by section, and that is where Preview doesn't help (which I used every single edit, including this one).

I admit that I didn't see the in-use tag when I started. However, when it was asked on the Pokémon-Amie talk page for edits, and I felt I should add what I could, then the message was mixed. The task would have been very simple; if a page is not public yet, don't display it.

That being said, and my own experience with cliques, I can see where I'm not wanted and will be returning to lurking. Wookieepedia needs my attention more, anyway. [[User:Trak Nar|Trak Nar]] ([[User talk:Trak Nar|talk]]) 08:00, 11 February 2014 (UTC)

== New Pokémon ==

Have you seen Hoopa and Volcanion as well? I was thinking we should create sandboxes for them too. I would do it myself, but unfortunately I have no idea how those templates work.

From what I've gathered, Volcanion is Fire/Water type, and Hoopa is Psychic/Ghost. I found their level 100 move sets, abilities, and types [http://www.neoseeker.com/forums/60943/t1957245-hoopa-volcanion-diancies-leaked-stats-abilities-types/ here]. I'm not sure about the accuracy of the leak, but they ''are'' pictures of a real 3DS, so I assume they are pretty accurate. --[[User:FireGambit|'''F'''ire'''G'''ambit]] ([[User talk:FireGambit|talk]]) 03:00, 12 February 2014 (UTC)
:Until they are confirmed to be real, they are unconfirmed. We only have Diancie because it was just revealed in a corocoro magazine.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 03:03, 12 February 2014 (UTC)
::Alrighty, then. Thanks for your time! --[[User:FireGambit|'''F'''ire'''G'''ambit]] ([[User talk:FireGambit|talk]]) 03:06, 12 February 2014 (UTC)
Also, a small question: How do I make a sandbox page? --[[User:FireGambit|'''F'''ire'''G'''ambit]] ([[User talk:FireGambit|talk]]) 03:09, 12 February 2014 (UTC)
:You can create it by making: [[User:FireGambit/Sandbox]].--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 03:13, 12 February 2014 (UTC)
I'm a little confused about what is found 'notable' in trivia. Would you mind explaining? --[[User:FireGambit|'''F'''ire'''G'''ambit]] ([[User talk:FireGambit|talk]]) 04:22, 12 February 2014 (UTC)
:That's actually something I'm unsure of myself, as everyone has their own views on what is notable. [[User:Force Fire/Trivia Policy|I've written an unofficial policy]] that kinds of narrows down what is notable and what isn't based on my experience with trivia. In regards to your Smogon mascot trivia, fanon aren't really considered trivia.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 04:39, 12 February 2014 (UTC)

== Image Upload Issues ==

Hi, mate. Long time user and occasional editor. Just trying to upload pictures of the 2005 Subway promotional toys and I am being told that I do not have the permissions to do so. Cheers. -- [[User:Lachynorms|Lachynorms]] ([[User talk:Lachynorms|talk]]) 02:31, 18 February 2014 (UTC)
:New comments go at the bottom by the way. Also, you can upload images via [http://archives.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Main_Page the Archives]. Don't know if there is a number of edits you have to make in order to upload an image, but I'm pretty sure there isn't. --[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 02:46, 18 February 2014 (UTC)
::Sorry, mate, first time I've posted on someone's talk page. :) Yeah, I've attempted uploading the image [http://archives.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Special:Upload there] but an upload error stating 'You do not have permission to create new pages' appears. The images would go a long way to completing that page so I'd like to get 'em on there! Cheers, mate. --[[User:Lachynorms|Lachynorms]] ([[User talk:Lachynorms|talk]]) 02:56, 18 February 2014 (UTC)
:::Have you been email confirmed?--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 03:14, 18 February 2014 (UTC)
::::Yep, although four years ago, mind you. I attempted with some other images to no avail. Quite unsure what to make of it. --[[User:Lachynorms|Lachynorms]] ([[User talk:Lachynorms|talk]]) 03:22, 18 February 2014 (UTC)
:::::Looks like you do have to make some edits to the archive in order to upload. Not sure what exactly you can edit there, as the archives are only used for uploading images. Your account must also be on the archives for a considerate amount of time, which I'm sure you have that done as you've been for over 4 years.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 03:29, 18 February 2014 (UTC)
::::::Alright, I'll do what I can in the meantime. Cheers for the help, mate! --[[User:Lachynorms|Lachynorms]] ([[User talk:Lachynorms|talk]]) 03:31, 18 February 2014 (UTC)

==XY016 error==

Wait. I know it's not an error, but please take a look on this for a second. http://s1097.photobucket.com/user/Keroromaniac/media/Keroro%20Gunsou%20and%20animes/XY016_error_2_zps685be966.png.html. Pikachu65 13:34, 20 February 2014 (UTC)
:Eh, I feel that is a bit wrong. Her nose and eyelashes appear to be too high on her face when it should be lower as she is facing Bonnie. It's her hair, not part of her face.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 13:42, 20 February 2014 (UTC)

::::I guess that could be an error. --[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 14:11, 20 February 2014 (UTC)

:::::Really? Its eyes? Pikachu65 14:21, 20 February 2014 (UTC)

:::::::Aha, so when it's closing its eyes, this could be an error. They used different color on its mask. I thought its mask is always black... Pikachu65 14:51, 20 February 2014 (UTC)
::::::::The mask is always black. The eyes (or the outlines rather) should be of a lighter shade.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 14:56, 20 February 2014 (UTC)

:::::::::Yeah! Then let's add this on XY010 about its eyes closed or something, not the mask 'cause everyone know that it's always black. Pikachu65 15:02, 20 February 2014 (UTC)

::::::::::Hey! Look what I found. http://s1097.photobucket.com/user/Keroromaniac/media/Keroro%20Gunsou%20and%20animes/Teeth_zpsc3a5d915.png.html Can you tell me the difference between Ash ans Serena's mouths? I think it's their teeth. Pikachu65 10:30, 24 February 2014 (UTC)
:::::::::::Yes, that would be an error.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 12:56, 24 February 2014 (UTC)

::::::::::::Great! Now you see the difference. It's their teeth, the are colored pink like tongues instead of white. There's no way we can add the Rena's bag error with the clip, which is an oval shape when it should be a diamond shape. Pikachu65 12:59, 24 February 2014 (UTC)

Hey! Look at this [http://www.filb.de/content/anime/xy/018/502.jpg here] [http://www.filb.de/content/anime/xy/018/497.jpg here] Do you see the difference? I need to know. It's his blonde hair. Pikachu65 12:09, 27 February 2014 (UTC)
:Hmm. I'm not too entirely sure about it. The fact that it is sunset in that scene, implies that the darker shading is normal. No 100% sure. Ask for second opinions, I'll leave the error in the error section for now.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 12:28, 27 February 2014

::::Right. [[http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/XY019]] I think there should be 13 errors in this page, but the limit of the error images must be five. We need to talk to Kogoro about extensing the limit up to 15. Pikachu65 09:38, 15 March 2014 (UTC)

::::::Yes! But there must be more images. I will talk to her/him about extensing the limit, so this case will be solved. I don't care if five is enough, but that's not enough - 25 is enough!

== [[Diggersby (Pokémon)#Name origin]] ==

As one who was skeptical of {{u|Relicant}}'s reasonings in [[Talk:Chesnaught (Pokémon)#Knight]] (and as a staff member), I'm curious to know what you think of Relicant's [[Talk:Diggersby (Pokémon)#Name origin|arguments for "rood"]] as an origin for {{p|Diggersby}}'s Japanese name (Horūdo).

I do not believe there is enough substance to support "rood" as a possibility, but I'm sure Relicant wouldn't just let me remove it (and that would lead nowhere), so I need some authority to judge this and give it a solid resolution. If you (and/or other staff) judge that, thin though rood's substance may be, its possibility still cannot be absolutely denied, then I'll be happy enough to accept that. I really think it's much too unlikely, though...
[[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 21:19, 9 March 2014 (UTC)
:Rood is also a measurement of land, which is supported by its Ground typing. Whilst I think it is a stretch, it does fit in a way (again, Ground typing). Even if it is an obscure word. I'd probably just leave it in there for now.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 02:55, 10 March 2014 (UTC)

== Coding for the infoboxes ==

Hi Force Fire, I was wondering if you could give me the coding for the Pokemon infobox template? I want to make my infoboxes on this wikia I'm creating look like that. I will not copy them completely, I plan on tweaking the design a bit. Thanks :) [[User:TheManofTomorrow|TheManofTomorrow]] ([[User talk:TheManofTomorrow|talk]]) 00:22, 17 March 2014 (UTC)

== Send Back ==
What's the difference? It did stated to be Lick I saw the episode and other characters mentioned this to be lick.--JasonL 13:35, 23 March 2014 (UTC)

Well now I'm confused. When I saw the episode In the Pink Lickitung used Lick on a pink Nindoking and it's face turned blue and fell down.--[[User:JasonL|JasonL]] ([[User talk:JasonL|talk]])
:Was it told to use lick or was it stated to be lick? If not, then we can't confirm that it used lick in that episode as licking the opponent does not mean it used the move.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 02:59, 3 April 2014 (UTC)

Well when I saw the episode In the pink I think it was told to use Lick. Will you re-check the episode just to make sure. Because Lickitung's Lick is not in one of the Anime move errors and I'm only trying to help. --[[User:JasonL|JasonL]] ([[User talk:JasonL|talk]])
:No it didn't. Jessie doesn't command Lickitung to use Lick. She called it "Lick" but it doesn't mean she commanded her to use Lick.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 03:52, 2 July 2014 (UTC)
Oh, okay. Well Lickitung is called the Licking Pokémon we all know that. But after seeing the other Pokémon feeling a little funny by Lickitung's tongue it almost looked like it was using Lick. Talk about a "Licking" situation. -- [[User:JasonL|JasonL]] ([[User talk:JasonL|talk]])

== [[Blaziken Mask]] / [[Meyer]] ==

Is there any discussion ''anywhere'' on merging these two pages? There is no spoiler left. They are now revealed in North America to be the same person. It's time to merge rather than try to protect spoilers for those who might not watch it in the next five years.

I have an idea for how to do this; I would rather '''be bold''' and go ahead and do it, but in my experience here (unlike Wikipedia) find my '''bold''' attempts quickly reverted. Will there be a reason that they cannot be merged or can we finally go ahead and do it? [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 14:24, 23 March 2014 (UTC)

==[[Pokémon Trainer's Choice]]==
Why are you adding "good" choices? Those questions ask for the ''best'' choice, and having the most resistances and advantages makes [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Pok%C3%A9mon_Trainer%27s_Choice&diff=2084972&oldid=2084102 Treecko] and [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Pok%C3%A9mon_Trainer%27s_Choice&diff=2094211&oldid=2085165 Crobat] the best choices. We shouldn't even bother with any other choice unless it has just as many resistances/advantages as the best one. I'm curious as to why you think it's notable to mention Carvanha and Togetic. --[[User:IWannaBeTheVeryBest|The]]Very[[User talk:IWannaBeTheVeryBest|Best]] 05:38, 26 March 2014 (UTC)
:Because they would also be good choices. Yes, it's asking for the best, but we can't just ignore the fact that other choices would also make good choices. Also, having the "most resistance and advantages" is akin to having "better stats". For all we know, whoever wrote these question was probably only going for "X beats Y because it's Z type" not "X beats Y because not only is it Z type, it also resists Y's typing".--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 06:15, 26 March 2014 (UTC)
::If we can't assume that type-based match-up questions include defensive advantages, why can we assume that it doesn't? Not that it matters since I have evidence that resistances are considered in the PTCs of AG061 (Chinchou is preferred over Illumise against Crawdaunt), AG066, AG082 (Venomoth > Gastly vs. Sunflora), and AG087. --[[User:IWannaBeTheVeryBest|The]]Very[[User talk:IWannaBeTheVeryBest|Best]] 07:44, 26 March 2014 (UTC)

Hi. I'm writing because today I was trying to add the Y version of {{template|User Champion}} to my userpage, when I noticed there was a little mistake in your update, that added the Gen VI games: the letter "Y" is already programmed into the template, because of Yellow.

:No. An evolved Pokémon '''should not''' be able to de-evolve back to its previous states. That is common knowledge in the Pokémon franchise. Mega Evolution is a transformation method since the Pokémon can still revert to its original form. Also, just because it's called Mega ''Evolution'' doesn't automatically make it an evolution.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 04:59, 14 May 2014 (UTC)

== Is it Me, Or... ==

...do regional Pokédex Numbers in the infoboxes look ugly ATM?

== Pokemon Conquest Moves ==

I'd like to request [[User:Drake Clawfang/Sandbox|this template]] be implimented as template for Pokemon Conquest moves. Currently as I'm editing it involves the mass copying and editing of the table directly, which this template greatly simplifies. Actual usage of it could further by simplified by making the three colors used in the template into color templates like "<nowiki>{{Steel color dark}}</nowiki>", etc, so in the template fields I could put "hit/move/push" instead of the color codes, but as-is it's perfectly functional as seen [[User:Drake Clawfang/Sandbox2|here]]. [[User:Drake Clawfang|Drake Clawfang]] ([[User talk:Drake Clawfang|talk]]) 21:13, 10 June 2014 (UTC)

On a related note, would the website "Veekun" by acceptable for reliable information? Their database on the game's moves provides base accuracy, chance of secondary effects taking hold, and base power, stats that are not-viewable in-game. I'd like to add this extra info but if the website isn't suitable as a source for this I'm fine to leave it out. [[User:Drake Clawfang|Drake Clawfang]] ([[User talk:Drake Clawfang|talk]]) 21:23, 10 June 2014 (UTC)

== Your [[Starter Pokémon]] edit ==

Would you care to respond to the comment(s) at [[Talk:Starter Pokémon#Kalos secondary triangle]] regarding your removal of the trivia point? In short, I think you're using a baselessly narrow definition of what makes a "triangle". There's no good reason to be any more strict than "advantage"/"disadvantage", and that makes a perfect triangle. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 22:37, 26 June 2014 (UTC)
:I already stated in the edit summary. The triangle isn't based of Advantage and Disadvantages, it is based of Super Effectiveness and Resistance. [http://www.dragonflycave.com/faq.aspx#darkpsyfight This site] further explains why it is not a triangle.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 02:43, 27 June 2014 (UTC)
::Why should I care what that site says? It's not an official site. Everyone's definition of "triangle" (as regards this subject) is artificial, and yours/that site's are based on one ''single'' data point: the Water/Fire/Grass "triangle". That is ''MASSIVELY'' flawed.
::"Dealing 2x damage" and "receiving 1/2 damage" can be rephrased as "having an offensive advantage" and "having a defensive advantage", and you cannot tell me with any sort of certainty that that is the wrong interpretation. (Or if you're looking at it as "A deals 2x damage to B and B deals 1/2 damage to A", it's "A has an offensive advantage over B and B has an offensive disadvantage against A". Same difference.)
::Look at the facts. The Dark/Psychic/Fighting secondary types are ''so'' close to the ''exact'' same relationship ("triangle") as the Water/Fire/Grass primary types. Would you wager that that was not intentional? Would you actually wager that they were not going for a secondary "triangle"? Who are you to say that it doesn't form a "triangle" when they've rather apparently made the decision that "offensive advantage/defensive advantage" is the rule of their "triangles" instead of the trivially specific "deals 2x damage/receives 1/2 damage"? The games have done basically nothing in the way of "triangles" for five generations except Water/Fire/Grass; accept that they just decided to advance this concept a bit. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 03:16, 27 June 2014 (UTC)
:::I only used that site to explain why I think Dark/Psychic/Fighting does not make a triangle. There is no official word, but the fact the kept the Grass/Fire/Water cycle, the one that deals 2x damage to A/receives 1/2 damage to B, for sixth generation states otherwise. Dark tpye does not receive 1/2 damage to Psychic thus does not make Dark/Fighting/Psychic a triangle.

:::::Not saying they can't, just saying that the fact that they are still using the Grass/Fire/Water cycle implies that "deals 2x damage and receives 1/2 damage" is what they consider a triangle.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 03:42, 27 June 2014 (UTC)

:::::::Even if it has been repeated for sixth generation and nearly two decades? You are missing the point. Having an advantage and disadvantage isn't that specific and too general.

As there is literally no downside to having a redirect for Zam, and an obvious upside, what is your logic in deleting it? The entire point of redirects is to speed up the process of finding a page. Deleting it slows down that process. "Zam" is an incredibly common nickname for a single pokemon that has existed since gen 1 - I can't see a single reason why you would delete that redirect (let alone speedily delete it with no discussion or even bringing it to the notice of the editor, which is poor wiki etiquette). -[[User:Auron|Auron]] 09:15, 2 August 2014 (UTC)

:Tesh, you're only thinking of beneficial effects from holding an item. Several held items that were added in Generation IV don't actually benefit the Pokémon holding it, but are meant to be used with other strategies that weren't possible with the previous Generations. Examples:
* Toxic Orb/Flame Orb- These items don't benefit the Pokémon that holds it, but they are useful when combined with certain moves (Fling, Trick, and Switcheroo in particular) and Abilities (Guts (with Toxic Orb at least), Magic Guard (the Pokémon won't take damage from the effect, so they can use a powered-up Facade without taking excessive damage), and Klutz).
* Iron Ball- Iron Ball can be Flung to cause massive damage, or it can be Switcheroo'd/Tricked onto an opponent in order to weaken them (especially helpful against a Flying-type or a Levitating opponent). A Lopunny or Buneary with Klutz can make the most of these tricks, since they won't suffer from the reduced speed.
* Lagging Tail- Trick or Switcheroo will put this on your opponent, making them move last every turn. Very helpful if your Pokémon is extremely slow.

== Big Root ==

It can be found on Route 3 according to the article, could someone add it in. I tried but it wouldn't work. {{u|Gallevoir}} 14:24 20 Feburary 2010

Do we know if the Big Root will affect Dream Eater (in any generation)? I can't find positive or negative confirmation of this anywhere. [[User:Delspencerdeltorro|Delspencerdeltorro]] 23:05, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure I'm wrong, but does Big Root actually increase the power of drain moves? I know it says the holder gains more HP, but is that because it does more damage or just because the holder gains more HP than usual? The way game describes it makes it seem like the holder just gains more HP and it doesn't actually do more damage, but some clarification would be nice. [[User:Pjwned|Pjwned]] 10:06, 29 October 2011 (UTC)
:I've never seen evidence that drain moves gain power when the user is holding a Big Root. The user probably just gains a larger portion of the damage in HP. [[User:Superbreeder|Super]][[User talk:Superbreeder|breeder]] 22:06, 22 November 2011 (UTC)

== Turn Alteration ==

I moved Iron Ball from Turn Alteration to Negative Effect on Holder because it doesn't technically alter anything in the priority bracket. It just cuts speed. [[User:Smythe|Smythe]] 12:48, 22 February 2010 (UTC)
:Actually, it makes the holder move last. Unless somebody can prove it doesn't. '''[[Team Rocket|R.A.]] [[User:Rocket Admin Hunter Blade|Hunter]] [[User Talk:Rocket Admin Hunter Blade|Blade]]''' 04:09, 23 February 2010 (UTC)
::Fair enough. I went by the in-game description and what the page listed as the effect. Obviously "Cuts the holder's Speed by 50%" is not a true priority change, but it could be wrong. [[User:Smythe|Smythe]] 14:38, 23 February 2010 (UTC)
:::It does cut the holder's speed (and makes the holder if it's flying type or has levitate vulnerable to ground-type attacks), it's Lagging tail that affects priority. Holding lagging tail will make the pokemon move after one holding iron ball.[[User:Wikifixer|Wikifixer]] 20:19, 6 March 2010 (UTC)

==Template==

I started putting the items into the templates. As you can tell, it's severely lacking information such a descriptions across generations and sell prices. Sell prices I didn't know, I put as "001". Please feel more than free to correct anything, add anything, or to continue putting things in the template. I'm out of free time for now. I'll get to work again later... [[User:Smythe|Smythe]] 14:38, 23 February 2010 (UTC)
:There might be a problem with the change to a template like this. Since the item names are no longer section headers, linking to specific items isn't working because it doesn't find the item name as a section anymore. EG: <nowiki>[[In-battle_effect_item_(section)#Choice_Scarf]]</nowiki> isn't working anymore. [[User:Megaericzero|Megaericzero]] 02:35, 28 February 2010 (UTC)

== Choice Items ==

Do the effects of the choice items end when the Pokémon holding them switch out? Or, will the Pokémon be forced to use the same chosen move when it switches back in? ~ [[User:Ender Phoenix|Ender Phoenix]] 07:36, 9 March 2010 (UTC)

== Amulet Coin held? ==

It says it can be held by wild Machokes in FRLG, [[Machoke#Held items]] says otherwise. Which one is true?--[[User:Afrael|Afrael]] 17:31, 4 April 2010 (UTC)

==Life Orb==
Does life orb power up explosion or will it not have any effect? [[User:S Ninja D|S Ninja D]] 15:41, 12 April 2010 (UTC)

==Focus Sash==
If a Shedinja is holding a focus sash, will it then become pretty much invinsible? It only has 1 HP, so any attack tha hits would bring it down from full health to death. Focus sash would make it stay at 1HP, but since this is its full HP, it could be sed again and again. Would this work? --- Migrant

== Negative effect items ==

Do these items actuallt benefit the holder in any way, or is the idea to use an item-switching move? [[User:Takharii|<sc>Takharii</sc>]] '''~''' [[User talk:Takharii|<sc>Talk!</sc>]] 05:59, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
:Some abilities are activated when a Pokémon is inflicted with a burn or poison. Some moves are more powerful at a lower priority. Some of those items have additional effects when combined with Fling. There are a range of strategies that can be used, not just using Switcheroo or Trick. —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 06:13, 3 May 2010 (UTC)

== Shed Shell PHaze ==
Does the shed shell bypass traps with PHaze moves? In other words, if I give a [[Skarmory (Pokémon) | Skarmory]] a shed shell, could it use roar or whirlwind to force a Pokémon with the Magnet Pull ability out, or would Skarmory itself have to switch?
:Shed Shell just allows your Pokémon to switch out, regardless of Magnet Pull, or other abilities/moves. As far as I know, Magnet Pull dosen't work that way. It simply prevents opposing Steel types from switching out. You should be able to phaze the Magnet Puller anyway. If you were trying to phaze a {{p|Cradily}} with {{a|Suction Cups}} it wouldn't work if you held the Shed Shell. <sc>[[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]]</sc> [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 00:28, 21 May 2010 (UTC)

== Focus Band code. ==

Are there any checks or surprises that explicitly prevent Focus Band from activating an infinite number of times in a row on a lucky day? --[[User:PLA|PLA]] 19:14, 25 May 2010 (UTC)
:I don't think there is, but you would have to be seriously lucky for it to occur. I know that it can activate multiple times in the same battle - I once had an opponent saved twice in a row by the Focus Band. <sc>[[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]]</sc> [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 20:09, 25 May 2010 (UTC)

== Generation III ==

Ok, here's the deal. All of the Items Introduced prior to Gen.IV games except Berserk Gene, Amulet Coin, and Smoke Ball, ARE purchasable in Pokémon Colosseum's and/or Pokémon XD's [[Mt. Battle]] via [[Poké Coupon|Poké Coupons]], but they are not being mentioned here. I just want to know if it's worth it. -- [[User:SaitoFX|Saito]] [[User talk:SaitoFX|FX]] 21:34, 16 July 2010 (UTC)

== Lagging Tail ==

Besides using Switch with this item to give it to your opponent, there are reasons to want YOUR Pokémon to go last. If your Pokémon knows a move like Avalanche or Revenge, they do more damage when your Pokémon is hurt during the current turn. This means they have to go second at least in order to get the bonus damage.

Does it reset after you use an item or only when the ''pokemon'' uses another move? [[User:Stephens2424|Stephens2424]] 06:44, 25 May 2011 (UTC)

== Rechargable Battery and Red Card ==

It says they're single-use items. Does "single-use" mean if the affect happens, it won't happen again for the rest of the battle, OR does it mean it's "consumed" and goes away, lost forever? [[User:ArcToraphim|Luna Tiger]] * [[User talk:ArcToraphim|the Arc Toraph]] 14:58, 4 December 2010 (UTC)
:The general meaning of "single-use" is that they are consumed and gone forever. As far as I'm aware, this has not changed in Gen V (i.e. no one's told me otherwise). —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 06:58, 6 December 2010 (UTC)
::Then it should be made clear, since "single-use" isn't the same as "consumed," as every other blurb on Gen IV items and older make clear. If they vanish, they should be noted as "consumed," only because if I can express confusion on the aspect, so can other people. If they vanish, they vanish. If they only work once per battle but don't vanish, that needs to be definitively noted, too. [[User:ArcToraphim|Luna Tiger]] * [[User talk:ArcToraphim|the Arc Toraph]] 04:54, 7 December 2010 (UTC)

== Shell Bell ==

I'm confused by this item. Does it need physical contact to work? Does sheer force negate the healing? I had an Audino use simple beam on my braviary (sheer force) and after that, the shell bell restored some HP after rock slide when normally it doesn't seem to work with that particular move. Is that a glitch perhaps? Will test with other moves boosted by sheer force to see if they all behave this way. [[User:Linksage|Linksage]] 23:47, 8 September 2011 (UTC)
:"If (and only if) a move is boosted by the effect of Sheer Force, it will no longer trigger effects that activate after attacking.

:Well, it really wouldn't matter. Either way, it would come out them same (both boost by 50%). The real question is whether they take effect at the same time, or one after another. So, let's say Rhydon's Special Defense was 100. Would the end result be 200, or 225? '''--'''[[User:LimeGreenCharizard|'''LimeGreen''''''''Charizard''''']]'''--''' 01:39, 10 September 2011 (UTC)

== Shed Shell bug in B&W? ==

first off, hi Bulbapedia, long time user first time poster :D

Second, I think I found a bug with the Shed Shell item in the Battle Subway. it was a Super Singles track, and I led with a Whimsicott @ Shed Shell. When I tried to switch to one of my other two pokemon I got the message "(Whimsicott) can't be switched out!"

has anyone else encountered this bug and if not can anyone else reproduce it? I'll probably mess with it more, maybe see if it affects others besides Whimsicott. I have a feeling it has something to do with the Shell and the Prankster ability, but that's just a guess right now.

[[User:ElPared|ElPared]] 03:36, 21 October 2011 (UTC)
:I doubt it is related to Prankster. Did you get hit by {{m|Embargo}}? Did you save the battle video, or can you reproduce it and save the video? --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 06:02, 22 October 2011 (UTC)

[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']]
::It's definitely not related to {{m|Embargo}}, I went 5 matches, trying to switch out in every one, and got the same message. The move was never used to my memory. I even tried switching out as soon as the battle started and got the same message. I later tried it with {{p|Whimsicott}} @ Destiny Knot instead (as I'd run into {{m|attract}} a lot), and it went away. So I know Shed Shell is definitely to blame. I haven't gotten a chance to test this yet as I only have one Prankster, but I can test it on a non-prankster tonight.

::*edit: I tried it with a {{p|Volcarona}}@shed shell in the lead, and got the "Can't be switched out" message, but {{m|U-turn}} still worked (not that I didn't think it would) I'll edit again when I try it with a pokemon that's not in the lead spot--[[User:ElPared|ElPared]] 06:23, 23 October 2011 (UTC)

::*edit: I tried with the same Volcarona but not in the lead, and had no trouble switching out. It seems that if you lead with a pokemon holding Shed Shell, it will be unable to switch out unless you use {{m|U-turn}}, {{m|Volt Switch}}, and the like, or get hit by {{m|Roar}} or {{m|Whirlwind}} and it's cousins. This game has a lot of weird bugs with switches, as something similar happens when both pokemon faint in the same turn during a double battle. [[User:ElPared|ElPared]] 21:10, 23 October 2011 (UTC)

== Air Balloon: Permanent or One-Time? ==

As the title says, is the Air Balloon permanent? The article for this item says that it "Pop"s, but doesnt say its a one-time item. Either way, anyone who has the BP to buy an Air Balloon should find out. No matter the answer, the page is entirely unclear about this. [[User:PowerPlantRaichu|PowerPlantRaichu]] 09:43, 19 November 2011 (UTC)
:It pops. It's unusable afterwards. It's pretty clear. I would put in "A one-time use item", but it's not. It's continually used until popped.

Shell Bell is listed as an item that can be found in Trainer Tower (Fire/Leaf). Is this implying that items obtained that way may be kept? If not, why bother listing this location if it's not useful to the player? {{unsigned|CryptRat}}

== Item descriptions ==

I was looking up Eviolite which I just obtained in Black, and the description used doesn't match the game. Does White have different item descriptions? Black says: ''A mysterious evolutionary lump.

== Smoke Ball Lag ==

Is it just me, or when fleeing with a Smoke Ball, does the message informing you of a successful escape take longer to display than without it?

== Why does this page contain no information? ==

That was my first question when browsing around looking for some explanation of what the heck any of these items actually ''do'', until eventually I realized I had JS disabled, which not only makes the information inaccessible, but also prevents the "show" text from appearing to suggest that it's even there at all. What's the purpose of hiding everything in these collapsible tables, and why is JS required to expand them, and why are they not at least expanded by default when JS is off?

'''Gastly''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ゴース''' ''Ghos'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ghost|Poison}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Haunter}} starting at [[level]] 25, which evolves into {{p|Gengar}} when [[trade]]d.

==Biology==
[[File:Gastly hands.png|thumb|left|200px|Gastly's "hands"]]
Gastly is a black, spherical Pokémon surrounded by a purple gas. It has a wide, pink mouth with two visible fangs. Though its eyes seem to extend past its round body, they are surrounded by visible eyelids. The gaseous aura surrounding the main body is highly toxic; it can induce fainting, suffocation, and is capable of enshrouding an {{wp|Indian Elephant}} within two seconds. As ninety-five percent of its body is composed of gasses, Gastly will dwindle away when exposed to strong winds.

The [[EP023|anime]] suggests that Gastly has a playful personality, often frightening and playing pranks on people for fun. However, it [[EP095|has shown]] a willingness to preserve or pass on the memories of departed humans. It has further [[EP020|been shown]] changing form and creating illusions, and it is capable of phasing through solid objects and forming tangible hands out of its gasses. Gastly is often seen in old, dilapidated buildings, but can also be found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Cave Pokémon|caves}}.

==In the anime==
[[File:Gastly EP020.png|220px|thumb|right|Gastly in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
Gastly first appeared in ''[[EP020|The Ghost of Maiden's Peak]]''. This Gastly had the ability to [[talking Pokémon|talk]] and shape-shift. He kept posing himself as the spirit of the woman which legend said turned to stone after many years of waiting for her love to return to her. As the ghost of the maiden, Gastly kept on toying with the minds of young men.

The first time a regular Gastly appeared was in ''[[EP023|The Tower of Terror]]''. {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} went to [[Lavender Town]] in search of a {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon to aid Ash in defeating [[Sabrina]]. It reappeared in a flashback in the [[EP024|following episode]].

An [[Officer Jenny]] owned a Gastly in ''[[EP086|Pikachu Re-volts]]''. This Gastly appeared to be the only Pokémon not affected by the psychic wave caused by Butch & Cassidy's {{p|Drowzee}}.

A Gastly appeared in ''[[EP095|A Shipful Of Shivers]]'' guarding the Orange league trophy of its deceased Trainer along with a {{p|Haunter}}.

[[Morty]] used a Gastly to battle Ash in ''[[EP182|From Ghost to Ghost]]''. In the same episode, multiple Gastly hypnotized {{TRT}}.

A pair of Gastly were among a group of Ghost Pokémon living in an abandoned mine in ''[[AG146|Fear Factor Phony]]''. The Ghost Pokémon couldn't stand the partying {{T|Psychic}} Pokémon that lived in the nearby town, so they created a {{p|Haunter}}-like illusion to scare everyone away.

A Gastly appeared in [[PK15]].

===Minor appearances===
A Gastly appeared in ''[[EP227|For Ho-Oh the Bells Toll!]]''.

A Gastly made a brief cameo appearance in ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''.

A Gastly appeared in ''[[DP090|Ghoul Daze!]]''.

==In the manga==
[[File:Agatha Gastly Adventures.png|thumb|150px|Gastly in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
Gastly first appears in ''[[PS014|That Awful Arbok!]]'' under the ownership of [[Koga]], possessing the corpses of dead Pokémon in [[Pokémon Tower]]. {{adv|Red}}'s [[Saur|Bulbasaur]] manages to defeat it by sucking up the surrounding air with its bulb, along with Gastly's gaseous form, and expelling it in a {{m|SolarBeam}}. In the process, the two also freed Red's rival {{adv|Blue}}, who was under its ghostly possession.

Gastly also forms as part of the {{type|Ghost}} army [[Agatha]] sends out to attack the [[Gym Leader]]s in ''[[PS049|As Gastly as Before]]''. She also has a Gastly as a member of her main team.

[[Morty]] also has a Gastly which was used along with {{p|Misdreavus}} to battle {{p|Suicune}} in ''[[PS125|Misdreavus Misgivings]]'' .

The [[Masked Man]] also used a Gastly in his team to capture {{p|Celebi}}, due to its type advantage. It was purposed to possess intruders that entered the [[Ilex Forest]]. Later, during the fight at the [[Indigo Plateau|Indigo Stadium]], it impaired {{p|Suicune}} using its {{m|Curse}} technique, locking it and [[Misty]] inside Suicune's crystal wall. It was later defeated by [[Eusine]]'s {{p|Haunter}}.

Many Gastly also appear in the ''[[PS345|Robust Rotom]]'' when {{adv|Diamond}}, {{adv|Pearl}}, and {{adv|Platinum}} spend the night in the [[Old Chateau]].

===In the Pokémon Pocket Monsters manga===
In ''[[PM007|Get Rid of The Ghost Pokémon!!]]'', while {{OBP|Red|Pocket Monsters}}, {{TP|Red|Clefairy}} and [[Red's Pikachu (Pocket Monsters)|Pikachu]] were in {{OBP|Blue|Pocket Monsters}}'s mansion, they stumble across a Gastly that Clefairy ends up battling. However, since Blue didn't officially control it, it is unknown if it belongs to him.

A Gastly appeared in ''[[PM018|Which One is the Real Clefairy!?]]'' while Red had a confrontation with {{OBP|Giovanni|Pocket Monsters}} and his twin brother. This Gastly was out of its gas form.

A Gastly took part in a baseball match in ''[[PM021|Fierce Competition at the Pokémon Baseball Tournament!]]''.

A Gastly was with {{OBP|Green|Pocket Monsters}} when he was having a soccer competition with Red.

Giovanni was revealed to have a Gastly when it was battling a {{p|Squirtle}} of his.

===In the Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys manga===
{{GnB|Black}} owns a Haunter which evolved from a Gastly.

==In the TCG==

==Trivia==
* In the [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|Pokémon Red and Blue beta]], Gastly's prototype name was "Spirit".
* No other Pokémon have the same [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|type combination]] as Gastly and {{p|Haunter|its}} {{p|Gengar|evolutions}}.
* Gastly, its evolution {{p|Haunter}}, and {{p|Flabébé}} are the [[List of Pokémon by weight|lightest Pokémon]] in existence.
* Despite all of them being part {{t|Poison}} type, Gastly together with its [[evolution]]ary family are not able to learn Poison-type moves by leveling up.
* Gastly's FireRed [[Pokédex]] entry mentions an Indian Elephant which is a rare reference to real animals.

===Origin===
Gastly seems to be based on general cartoonish {{wp|ghost}}s and spirits, or maybe a {{wp|will o' the wisp}}. It may also have been based on the Japanese {{wp|youkai}} sōgen bi, the decapitated head of a monk whose head is doomed to wander the Earth, consumed by fire. Its {{t|Poison}} type is most likely a reference to poisonous or polluted gases.

====Name origin====
Gastly may be a combination of ''{{wp|gas}}'' and ''ghastly'' (dreadfully frightening or horrible).

Ghos is a shortened form of ''{{wp|ghost}}'' and may also incorporate ''gas'' into its name.

==In other languages==

<big>'''The Policy:'''</big>
*All signatures will be text-only and not exceed 80 characters on-screen when rendered.
*No line breaks.
*The font size of the signature will be no larger than the font size of normal text.
*No signature templates.
*A link to the user page, at minimum, and a link to the user talk page is recommended.

'''NOTES:''' 
Still got questions? Fire away. I check my talk page here fairly often, so you'll get a response quickly enough. Other users might even beat me to it. :D I'm handy with coding as well, so if you have an idea for a new signature but aren't sure how to make it, let me know; I can tell you if it's within the rules, and help you make it.

== Newbies! ==

Hey, i'm new too! Thank you very much for your comments, knowing me i'll buy Pearl... Do we have reviews on here? On my wiki, Simpedia, we have reviews for all The Sims 2 Expansion Packs, etc. Again, thanks for your comments and i'm a Wikiholic too, I'm Celticfan383 on [http://en.wikipedia.org Wikipedia] and Nathan, my real name, on [http://simpedia.co.uk Simpedia], our Simpedia server is awful so unless you can suggest a good free server, we're stuck with it, just keep refreshing, lol! [[User:Celticfan383|¡иąтнąи!]] | [[User_talk:Celticfan383|Talk]] | [mailto:nathan@simpedia.co.uk Email]| 19:31, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

:Let me know your friend code if and when you get Pearl! Mine's on my userpage, of course. And no, I don't think there are any reviews here. But finding an actual review shouldn't be hard (Neoseeker.com is a good place to start, off the top of my head).
:Hehe, I play Sims 2... not very often anymore, but I'm still a big fan of the game (too bad it doesn't work on my laptop... my laptop's widescreen, and setting the Sims to play in 1280x768 resolution only affects the UI, not to mention the lack of a mouse wheel gets in the way).
:But hey, if you've ever got any more questions about D/P, let me know. -- [[user:Jioruji Derako|'''J'''ioruji '''D'''erako.'''>''']] 01:48, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
::Heh! The Sims Stories was designed directly for Laptops... Anyway, i'd like to know, what are the 3 starter pokémon and what are their types? [[User:Celticfan383|¡иąтнąи!]] | [[User_talk:Celticfan383|Talk]] | [mailto:nathan@simpedia.co.uk Email]| 18:43, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
:::Hmm, Sims Stories? I'll have to take a look at that one, perhaps.
:::Alright, starters... I've got a sortable PokéDex on my [[User:Jioruji Derako/Start Page#Sortable PokéDex|Start page]], just check the Sinnoh section. It's sorted by number by default, so they'll be the top nine Pokémon on the list. Just to note, the Water-starter seems to be popular thanks to the secondary type it gains at the final evolution... I've run into a few of them on the Wi-Fi Battle Tower. Pain in the ass to get rid of those guys... -- [[user:Jioruji Derako|'''J'''ioruji '''D'''erako.'''>''']] 01:38, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
::::Just so you know, i always pick the water type! ;P [[User:Celticfan383|¡иąтнąи!]] | [[User_talk:Celticfan383|Talk]] | [mailto:nathan@simpedia.co.uk Email]| 18:52, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
:::::Hehe, and I normally pick up the first Dark or Electric-type I find. I've got a level 63 {{p|Luxray}} now. (I got the Grass-type as my starter, but didn't level him up as much.)
:::::The Water-type in this game is pretty good, though! With that Steel-type as well, it completely mixes up all the weaknesses and strengths. Cancels out a lot of Water's biggest problems (adds some new problems, but that's still a good thing). -- [[user:Jioruji Derako|'''J'''ioruji '''D'''erako.'''>''']] 18:03, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

== I win, you fail :P ==
Just saying hi, PvX is slow, not moving atm, and I actually enjoy playing these games sometimes :). I stopped playing about a year ago, as I get seriously addicted to games (ex:Guild Wars ;). Owned 2 Blue Versions, 1 Yellow (All lost but one Blue :P), 1 Gold, 1 Silver (Brother's now), 1 Crystal (Lost :(), Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald...wondering if I should get Pearl or Diamond, or just break the habit entirely? Tbh...I have spent over 3000+ hours playing these damn games :P. Fun tho. On another note, if I do get the game, I will not get all 3 starts in one game (as I have done the past, what? 7 games O.o...nor level 100 :P. I am the Zerris of Pokemon is appears! lolol) So what do you think of this set :) (favorite types ground, Steel, and Dragon)

*Garchomp Dragon/Ground Moves: Earthquake, Dragon Rush, Sandstorm. Dig
*Torterra Grass/Ground Moves: Earthquake, Solarbeam, Synthesis, Sunny Day
*Skarmory Flying/Steel Moves: Toxic, Fly, Whirlwind, Spikes
*Spirit Tomb Ghost/Dark Moves: Hypnosis, Dream Eater, Confuse Ray, Shadow Ball
*Lapris Water/Ice Moves: Ice Beam, Surf, Confuse Ray, Perish Song
Haven't decided on a fire Pokemon yet. Does Camprupt exist? Toxic combination pwns face. [[User:Readem|Readem]] 02:21, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

:Nooo! I finally find a wiki without you on it, and bam! There you are! At least I still have a few more websites to hang out on. *counts on hand and runs out of fingers* :P
:Anyways, never realized you played Pokémon... breaking habits sucks. Just buy the friggin' game, man. Then you can go on WiFi and get your ass kicked by Auron! (trust me, it's fun!) Can't say which is better, Pearl or Diamond... the only big difference is the legendary, {{p|Palkia}} or {{p|Dialga}}. There's a few other differences as well, but just a few Pokémon (such as {{p|Misdreavus}} in Pearl, and {{p|Murkrow}} in Diamond).
:And just so you know, it's uber-easy to get all three starters in these games. GTS FTW! ...that's the Global Trade Center. Basically, you put a Pokémon up for trade, specify what you want in return, then wait. A day or so later, somebody's traded with you from across the world... I bred my grass starter, put a baby up for trade, and got a baby water starter next time I went on the game. And my brother has the fire starter, so I'll probably make him breed it. Of course, I've got tons of extra baby starters now, so if you want any, send me a WiFi friend code and I can trade some to ya.

:Alright, the team looks pretty sweet, by the way. Garchomp makes for a 1337 quaker... Torterra's a nice one as well, what with Synthesis for healing and Solarbeam for attack. The rest look nice as well. And {{p|Camerupt}} is get-able in D/P as well, as far as I know... you might need to trade it over from R/S/E, but it's in there. Might I suggest checking my [[User:Jioruji Derako/Start Page#Sortable PokéDex|Sortable PokéDex]]? 'Tis quite useful for team creation. I still haven't added the Hoenn PokéDex yet, though. -- [[user:Jioruji Derako|'''J'''ioruji '''D'''erako.'''>''']] 07:29, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

::Hehe, I beat Battle Frontier with Skarmory and Alakazam. Swampert as runner up. Too bad Alakazam is not as 1337 as he once was :(. Highest Sp.att in the game, and fastest too= win. My Blastoise from Blue could own the Elite Four with struggle! Pretty fun imo. Don't worry, won't be contributing to this wiki much, as people seem to know what they are doing lulz. And Camprupt= bad. Was meaning Torkoal >.<. Toxic on him=ownz. [[User:Readem|Readem]] 19:02, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

== Just started D/P ==

I've just started Diamond and Pearl (bought both), how do I find out my friend code? (Hi, btw)—[[User:Ebany Salmonderiel|Ebany Salmonderiel]] 10:58, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
:Hmm, let's see now... you just started both games, right? After a certain point, you'll get a key item called the Pal Pad. You might need to get into the lower level of a Pokémon Center to get it (they don't have basements until a certain town, but it comes up quickly). Once you get the Pal Pad, you can use it to add codes, manage codes, and check your own code. Let me know when you get your code, eh?
:Oh, and hi. :P -- [[user:Jioruji Derako|'''J'''ioruji '''D'''erako.'''>''']] 06:21, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

Just started diamond few days ago. Looked for people I knew from other wikis and saw you. Anyways, sorry to sound greedy, but can I get the fire/water starters? My friend code is 4682 6352 2941. If you give me them I will love you for the rest of my life :).[[User:Teh Uber Pwnzer|Teh Uber Pwnzer]] 02:22, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

::Hmm, I think I just got both the other starters... you'll have to wait a bit while I breed them, and however long it'll take to get hooked-up in game, but that aside, it's no big deal. :P
::Shiny Zubat eh? Farming speed points, I assume. (I'm not stranger to that process.) I'm still proud of my shiny Wobbuffet, though. Go Go Safari game... -- [[user:Jioruji Derako|'''J'''ioruji '''D'''erako.'''>''']] 01:16, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
:::Actually, I was going for defense points for my blissey. Killing tons of lvl 8 geodudes. With a base of 10 defense points, it needs them. And lucky you getting that Wobbufett :p. And thanks man. [[User:Teh Uber Pwnzer|Teh Uber Pwnzer]] 01:24, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
::::Yeah, I haven't been playing Pokémon at all for a while, so it may take a bit for me to dig up my Pokémon; aside from that, breeding isn't hard to do, I've got a stud of a Ditto and he/she just fires them off/out like a machine gun. (try to get that image out of your mind now.)
::::I'll try my best, though; do you have XFire or MSN/Yahoo messenger? That's a good way to see when I'm online, you can drop me a line that way and we can get synced up on wi-fi in that manner.

:::::::::Dratini and other "rare" Pokémon of the sort are always the last ones I catch, barring some excessive amounts of awesome emanating from the Pokémon in question. Generally, I collect Dark-types, sometimes Steel- or Dragon-types as well; unfortunately, the jolly-polly rolly-polly Dragonite doesn't fit into my idea of a kick-ass Dragon-type. (I'm extremely biased towards looks rather then function.) Salamenace, now that's a cool guy. And Garchomp. And Flygon, despite the goggle-eyes. Can't forget Rayquaza, either. -- [[user:Jioruji Derako|'''J'''ioruji '''D'''erako.'''>''']] 05:26, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

::I'd use Outrage on Rayquaza too, except I dont have him in Diamond. I also wanna make an all non-legendary team, and Garchomp would be able to use Outrage well. And a quick question: is it possible to see Palkia without trading on Diamond? --[[User:Teh Uber Pwnzer|Teh Uber Pwnzer]] 22:43, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
:::As a matter of fact, it is. There's an old lady in the town you start the game in; she shows you a photo of the other game's Legendary, which counts it as "seen" in your PokéDex.

::Luckily, getting all 150 isn't a hard task; you can see every one of them via trainer battles.

:::Still, without the Exp. Share, I'll have just two decent pokemon, the rest of mine pretty much suck. My lvl 60 something Alakazam and my lvl 60 something Torterra are the best ones I have. I guess my Dialga is pretty good too, it has ~220 Sp. Attack at just lvl 50, which is pretty insane(of course it has max Sp. Attack EV's, a Sp. Attack nature and Sp. Attack characteristic.

Nature isn't a big deal really; let's see, just not one that lowers Physical Attack or raises Special Attack.

== Read your Signature Policy thing, very GAH! ==

It doesn't update! If you were to change that sig page, when someone loads the page, it will just read <nowiki>{{:User:whoever/Sig}}</nowiki> and show what is on the page. IT DOESN'T UPDATE! It's like a book. It only reads what is on the page, reads the template, shows what's on the template. It never updates. It's like an image. If you were to upload a new version of the same image, the website doesn't update. It just reads the file and shows what is in the file, the image, it doesn't have to update. Again it is like a book, reads the source, and translates the source, Templates and all, and it doesn't have to update. It changes automatically when someone enters the page. Why won't you understand?????[[User:Pokemaniac102|Poke]][[User talk:Pokemaniac102|Maniac]][[Special:Contributions/Pokemaniac102|102]] 04:42, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

:You're not understanding how MediaWiki templates work. It's not working merely like a window; it doesn't load directly from the template page when you load a page that has the template on it (if it did, people on slow connections wouldn't even see your signature until it loaded). When the template is changed, the website software loads it on each page it's included on, no matter what. That's what the [[Special:Statistics|Job Queue]] is; you might want to take a look at [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Job_queue Wikimedia's article] which explains the job queue a bit as well (note the section on "Updating links tables when a template changes").
:When you update a template, sometimes other pages will show old versions of the template (rarely). Same with an image sometimes, although that works more like you said; it won't put a strain on the server, because the image link is just that, a link.
:If you save this page and view it offline, you'll see your signature is still there. That's because it's still part of ''this'' page, not merely being shown through a window to the template page.
:Most people don't know how all this works; that's why I'm pushing really hard for this policy. People can cause so much lag, totally without even knowing it...

== Siggg ==

before i begin, i find it appropriate to introduce myself. Hello! i am Magnedeth. you wouldnt know it from my recent contribs, but im a fairly active user. (ive just been a bit [[SSBB|distracted]] recently, thats all) now, with that out of the way, i understand theres a new sig policy, and youre in charge. so, ive come with 3 questions.
# the new policy requires no pics/anis. so, being that there is a ban, and youre a (new) admin, could you just delete my {{tt|Magnemite|NOOOOOOO!!!!!}}?
# is my sig ok?
# ive been using the template, so, what do i do about the thousands of sig templates i have lying around?
also, i was snooping around Talk pages (i do that somtimes, i wont lie) and i saw you saying somthing about vandalls. well, me PN102, and {{tt|O35|Optimus35, Optimatum, Ph34r, you know}} seem to have quite a knack for reverts. down to a science really. now, while im pretty sure some bright young kids are going to answer all my questions before you even see the page, at the very least, Hello! '''[[User:MAGNEDETH|MAG]][[User:MAGNEDETH#Interesting Stuff|NE]][[User talk:MAGNEDETH|DETH]]''' 23:01, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

:Hehe, I've seen your signature here and there, so I know you a bit. I snoop around talk pages a ton as well. :D Anyways, let's see.
#I can get rid of the image for you, yes. I'll get that in a moment.
#Aside from the image, you're signature's fine; keep in mind, templates are against the rules now, so you'll need to take your signature coding and put it in your Preferences, instead of using User:MAGNEDETH/Sig for it.
#As for all the templates already in use; easiest way to fix them is to go to any page that has your signature on it, and replace <nowiki>{{:User:MAGNEDETH/Sig}} with {{SUBST:User:MAGNEDETH/Sig}}</nowiki>. That'll take the contents of your signature template page, and post it right onto the page. As a matter of fact, if you simply add SUBST: to the template like that in your Preferences, you won't even need to delete your /Sig page.
:It's a rather big job to manually fix all those signatures, but there's a few easy ways to do it. (I'll post these instructions at the top of my talk page later I think, as a quick-reference.)
#Go to [[Special:Whatlinkshere/User:MAGNEDETH/Sig]]. That'll list off anything that has your signature in it.
#Click to Edit the entire page, press Ctrl+F (to bring up the Search box), search for your signature template, and add the little SUBST: tag in there. Should only take a few clicks when you get it down.

== Sig Image? ==

Hi, um... I'm a new user, and I was just starting to consider my sig when the tests started. I have just designed a sig image in Photoshop (nothing fancy, just my name), and I was giong to use that for my sig. I made it 19 or whatever px high (text size), so could I use only that image for my sig? If not, I could do something else. (btw, congrats.) -[[User:Theininen|Theininen]] 01:03, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
:Images are completely disallowed, unfortunately; you'll have to work out something else. Don't forget that you can change fonts form signatures, so you might be able to get close to the image with text alone... so long as the font's not too fancy, people should have it installed. --[[user:Jioruji_Derako| '''J'''ïörüjï '''Ð'''ērākō.'''>''']][[user talk:Jioruji Derako|''.cнаt'''''^''']] 02:02, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

Sinnoh myths

2007-12-27T16:24:46Z

Auron: /* Sinnoh Region’s Mythology */ no kidding?

There are many '''myths''' in the [[Sinnoh]] region. Below are several from [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl]] from the library in [[Canalave City]]:

=Sinnoh Myth=
<ab>Betray not your anger, lest ??? will
come.
Weep not with sorrow, or ??? will
draw near.
When joy and enjoyment come natural
as the very air, that is happiness.
Let such be blessed by the hand
of Master ???.
Those words were spoken often
as customary.</ab>

===Notes===
*It is generally suspected the ??? refers to {{p|Mesprit}}.

=Sinnoh Region’s Mythology=
<ab>Long ago, when Sinnoh had just been
made, Pokémon and humans led
separate lives.
That is not to say they did not help
each other. No, indeed they did.
They supplied each other with goods,
and supported each other.
A Pokémon proposed to the others
to always be ready to help humans.
It asked that Pokémon be ready to
appear before humans always.
Thus, to this day, Pokémon appear
to us if we venture into tall grass.</ab>

=Sinnoh’s Myth=
<ab>[[Lake trio|Three Pokémon]] there were.
Into the lakes they dove.
Deep, deep, drawing no breath.
Deeper, deeper they dove.
Into suffocating depths they dove.
Deeper, then deepest they alight.
From the lake floor they rise.
Bearing with them the power to make
vast lands, they rise again.</ab>

=Veilstone’s Myth=
<ab>A young man, callow and foolish in
innocence, came to own a sword.
With it, he smote Pokémon, which gave
sustenance, with carefree abandon.
Those not taken as food, he
discarded, with no afterthought.
The following year, no Pokémon
appeared. Larders grew bare.
The young man, seeking the missing
Pokémon, journeyed afar.
Long did he search. And far and wide,
too, until one he did find.
Asked he, "Why do you hide?"
To which the Pokémon replied...
"If you bear your sword to bring
harm upon us, with claws and
fangs, we will exact a toll.
"From your kind we will take our
toll, for it must be done.
"Done it must be to guard ourselves
and for it, I apologize."
To the skies, the young man shouted
his dismay.
"In having found the sword, I have
lost so much.
"Gorged with power, I grew blind
to Pokémon being alive.
"I will never fall savage again.
This sword I denounce and forsake.
"I plead for forgiveness,
for I was but a fool."
So saying, the young man hurled the
sword to the ground, snapping it.
Seeing this, the Pokémon disappeared
to a place beyond seeing...</ab>

===Notes===
*The Pokémon may possibly refer to {{p|Giratina}}.
*This proves that Pokémon are or were indeed eaten, a fact already suggested by [[Mom]]'s [[Cinnabar Island|Cinnabar]] Volcano Burgers in [[Generation II]].

=The Original Story=
<ab>In the beginning, there was only
a churning turmoil of chaos.
At the heart of chaos, where all
things became one, appeared an Egg.
Having tumbled from the vortex, the
Egg gave rise to the [[Arceus (Pokémon)|Original One]].
From itself, two beings the Original
One did make.
[[Dialga (Pokémon)|Time]] started to spin.
[[Palkia (Pokémon)|Space]] began to expand.
From itself again, [[Lake trio|three living things]]
the Original One did make.
The two beings wished, and from them,
matter came to be.
The three living things wished, and
from them, spirit came to be.
The world created, the Original One
took to unyielding sleep...</ab>

===Notes===
*This has some parallels with [[wp:Taoism|Taoism]] and perhaps [[wp:Shinto|Shintoism]]. Creation in Taoism starts with a single energy, dividing into a duality (often referred to as [[wp:Yin and yang|Yin and Yang]]), then into three parts, and finally into the rest of creation. Compare, for example, the Korean [[wp:Taeguk|Taeguk and Samtaeguk]] symbols, also seen in China and Japan which reflect this belief.
**Similar parallels can be found in other creation myths, but not as directly. In fact, this seems to be more easily attributed to a common theme among creation myths than as a source of inspiration; several creation myths start with one being which splits or creates other beings from its body, including [[wp:Hinduism|Hinduism]] and [[wp:Greek mythology|Greek mythology]].
This myth describes how Sinnoh's first Pokémon, {{p|Arceus}}, also known as the Original One, came to be, from the Egg that appeared in the chaos. Also, the two beings that Arceus makes are {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}, creators of time and space, respectively. Arceus creates three living things as well, wihich are {{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Azelf}}, and {{p|Mesprit}}, the only Pokémon which can control Dialga and Palkia. Arceus thereafter went into the [[Hall of Origin]] high above the [[Spear Pillar]], to wait for the [[Azure Flute]] to be played.

*This myth describes [[History of the Pokémon world|how the Pokémon world was created]].

=A Horrific Myth=
<ab>Look not into the Pokémon’s eyes.
In but an instant, you’ll have no
recollection of who you are.
Return home, but how?
When there is nothing to remember?
Dare not touch the Pokémon’s body.
In but three short days, all emotions
will drain away.
Above all, above all, harm not
the Pokémon.
In a scant five days, the offender
will grow immobile in entirety.</ab>

===Notes===
*The effects caused by encountering the Pokémon can be described as the loss of [[Uxie (Pokémon)|knowledge]], [[Mesprit (Pokémon)|emotions]] and [[Azelf (Pokémon)|will]].
*This refers to {{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Mesprit}}, and {{p|Azelf}}.
*The first part refers to Uxie's closed eyes and how if opened they would erase memory.

=Sinnoh Folk Tales=
<ab>"Sinnoh Folk Story 1"
Pick clean the bones of Pokémon
caught in the sea or stream.
Thank them for the meals they
provide, and pick their bones clean.
When the bones are as clean as can
be, set them free in the water from
which they came.
The Pokémon will return, fully
fleshed, and it begins anew.

"Sinnoh Folk Story 2"
There lived a Pokémon in a forest.
In the forest, the Pokémon shed its
hide to sleep as a human.
Awakened, the human dons the
Pokémon hide to roam villages.

"Sinnoh Folk Story 3"
There once were Pokémon that
became very close to humans.
There once were humans and Pokémon
that ate together at the same table.
It was a time when there existed no
differences to distinguish the two.</ab>

===Notes===
*In the literal translation of Sinnoh Folk Story 3, the myth originally referred to Pokémon and people marrying each other.

==The [[Snowpoint Temple]] myth==
<ab>A body of [[Regirock (Pokémon)|rock]].
A body of [[Regice (Pokémon)|ice]].
A body of [[Registeel (Pokémon)|steel]].
When gather those three together,
[[Regigigas (Pokémon)|the king]] will appear.</ab>

::I personally am not sure, but no other user does that.
::As for help, first and foremost, don't redirect it to your user talk page. You can add user tags to your page by typing <nowiki><div class="userbox"></nowiki> and then browsing the category of {{cat|User tags}} and choosing which ones you want on your profile. For example, if you wanted the user tag that says you would like Bulbapedia to be complete some day, simply type in <nowiki>{{User Pedia}}</nowiki> and it will appear on your user page. Be sure to also put <nowiki></div></nowiki> once you are done adding the user tags. If you would like me to help you build a user page, feel free to ask. Just don't redirect it, because nobody does that on Bulbapedia, or anywhere else that I can think of.

Oh hai. I'm a past pokemon PvPer that's mostly moved on to Guild Wars PvP (and am active on and sysop some of the [http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Main_Page Guild] [http://www.pvxwiki.com/wiki/?title=Main_Page Wars] [http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Main_Page Wikis]).

I am a firm believer that the handhelds are the only worthwhile part of the pokemon meta-world, so don't expect me to know (or care) about the anime or any hidden backstory. If I edit wrongly based on information presented only in the animes, don't hesitate to revert.

Oh hai. I'm a past pokemon PvPer that's mostly moved on to Guild Wars PvP (and am active on and sysop some of the [http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Main_Page Guild] [http://www.pvxwiki.com/wiki/?title=Main_Page Wars] [http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Main_Page Wikis]).

I am a firm believer that the handhelds are the only worthwhile part of the pokemon meta-world, so don't expect me to know (or care) about the anime or any hidden backstory. If I edit wrongly based on information presented only in the animes, don't hesitate to revert.

Effort values

2007-11-20T02:02:20Z

Auron: /* Generation IV */

'''Effort values''', often abbreviated as EVs, are an important part of Pokémon training to consider. While raising a Pokémon's level is a very important part of its training, making sure that a Pokémon gains effort points in the correct stats is just as important to making the Pokémon the best it can be.

==Overview==
===Generation I===
In Generation I, the basic EV system was introduced. Each Pokémon would give out either 1, 2, or 3 '''effort points''', depending on its species, in a particular stat (Attack, Defense, Speed, Special, or HP). With these effort points, a Pokémon would get stronger in a specific stat by battling the same kind of Pokémon over and over. For example, battling {{p|Jolteon}} after Jolteon would cause a Pokémon to eventually have a higher Speed.

At level 100, a Pokémon's stats will be one point higher in a specific stat for every four effort points gained in that stat compared to an untrained counterpart. Though leveling up stops at 100, addition of effort values can continue indefinitely, until the Pokémon reaches the maximum possible value for their stats using the [[box trick]], where a Pokémon's stats are recalculated to reflect the amount of effort points it has gained when it is deposited in a [[PC]].

===Generation II===
The basic structure did not change much in Generation II, excepting the fact that now, instead of having five stats, there were six. Both Special Attack and Special Defense were calculated using the effort points for Special, causing both to rise by the same amount for each and every Pokémon. Like in Generation I, the box trick could be performed.

The [[PokéRus]] virus, a rare [[status condition]], was also introduced. It would double the amount of effort points gained in battle.

===Generation III===
In Generation III, the effort value structure, like many other things, was overhauled completely. A Pokémon now could not have an effectively infinite amount of training, but was limited to 510 effort points total, with 255 effort points being the maximum for an individual stat. This mean that two stats could be maxed out (with 252 being the highest number evenly divisible by four), while another stat could get one more point. The [[vitamins]] of the previous two generations would also not merely ''add'' stat points, but instead added 10 effort points to a specific stat, and could not be used if the specific stat was at or above 100 effort points, or the total effort points amounted to 510 or more. Likewise, the Special Attack and Special Defense stats were finally split, and [[Zinc]] was introduced so as to give the Special Defense stat a vitamin enhancement.

A held item, the [[Macho Brace]], was also introduced; it would double the amount of effort points gained in battle, providing for faster training. Utilized with the PokéRus, which makes a return, it provides four times the amount of effort points per Pokémon.

Also, in [[Pokémon Emerald]], certain [[Berries]] that were previously only used to make [[Pokéblocks]] were now able to decrease effort points gained by 10, while increasing the [[happiness]] of the Pokémon they were used on.

===Generation IV===
While not much changed from Generation III, due mostly to the [[Pokémon data structure in the DS|data structure]] remaining much [[Pokémon data structure in the GBA|the same]], a series of items were introduced that would automatically add four effort points per Pokémon battled in a specific stat.

{| border=1 align="left" style="background: #fff; border:1px solid #000; border-collapse:collapse;"
|-style="background:#C0C0FF"
! Stat
! Item
|-align="center"
! style="background:#{{hp color}}" | HP

|-align="center"
! style="background:#{{sp def color}}" | Special Defense
| [[Power Band]]
|-align="center"
! style="background:#{{speed color}}" | Speed
| [[Power Anklet]]
|}
 
They would, however, also add whatever the Pokémon defeated would naturally add; for example, a Pokémon defeating a Bidoof while holding the Power Lens would get 4 Special Attack effort points, as well as the 1 HP effort point Bidoof naturally rewards, while defeating a Bidoof while holding the Power Weight would yield 5 HP effort points.

'''Misty''' (Japanese: '''カスミ''' ''Kasumi'') is a [[Gym Leader]] of [[Cerulean City]]'s Gym, known officially as the [[Cerulean Gym]]. She hands out the [[Badge#Cascade Badge|Cascadebadge]] to [[Pokémon trainer|trainers]] who defeat her. She specializes in {{t|Water}}-type [[Pokémon]].
=In the anime=
[[Image:Watergun.jpg|left|200px|thumb|Misty in one of the ''[[Pokémon anime|Pokémon Housou]]'' introductions.]]
Misty is the youngest of four sisters who live in the Cerulean Gym. Fed up with her more glamourous older sisters, Misty left the gym with the goal of becoming the world's greatest [[Water (type)|Water]] Pokémon trainer. She met [[Ash Ketchum|Ash]] when she "caught" him with her fishing line in a river between [[Pallet Town]] and [[Viridian City]]. She travelled around with Ash, [[Brock]], and [[Tracey Sketchit|Tracey]] through the [[Kanto]] region, [[Orange Archipelago|Orange Islands]], and [[Johto]] region. In Japanese she is voiced by 飯塚雅弓 ''[[Mayumi Iizuka]]''. In English she is voiced by [[Rachael Lillis]] ([[4Kids Entertainment|4Kids]] dub), and [[Michelle Knotz]] ([[Pokémon USA]]/[[TAJ Productions]] dub). [[Márcia Regina]] voices her in the Brazilian dub.

Misty can be sweet and optimistic at times, but she is best known for how easily she can be angered 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. Her goals are not as clear as those of the other main characters, since though her main interest is [[Pokémon training|training]] Water-type Pokémon, there's 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.

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. In the Orange Islands, evidence that she has [[PokéShipping|romantic feelings for Ash]] surfaced as well.

[[Image:Misty AG.jpg|right|thumb|Misty as seen in the [[Advanced Generation]] series (Seasons 6-9) and [[Pokémon Chronicles]]]]After Ash competed in the [[Johto League Silver Conference]], however, her bicycle is 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. In addition, her sisters [[Daisy (anime)|Daisy]], [[Lily (anime)|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. 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.

Even after her sisters returned, Misty remained the sole Cerulean Gym Leader, as they had never been reliable in that role. Only Daisy (the eldest sister, and the one Misty is on the best terms with) seems to spend any significant amount of time at the Gym now that Misty has returned. Misty used to hate {{p|Gyarados}} because of a traumatic experience as a child in which she was nearly eaten by one, but she later overcame her fears and now uses a Gyarados as one of her primary Pokémon.

Misty's title is "The Tomboyish Mermaid." Her strategy is an all-out attack with Water-type Pokémon.

Misty is constantly looking for ways to improve her technique. A swimmer herself, she trains at the [[Seafoam Islands]]. As Misty becomes a stronger trainer, she becomes the only one in her town who can defeat the trainers at Cerulean's cape.

It is said that Misty has high hopes for the north cape, a romantic date spot. In later years, she is seen there with an unidentified boyfriend. She dislikes pests who bother her when she's on a date.

Misty worships [[Lorelei]] of the [[Elite Four]]. It's Misty's dream to travel one day. She wishes to meet many strong trainers, such as trainer [[Gold (game)|Gold]]/[[Kris (game)|Kris]] from [[Johto]] who defeats her in battle.

In addition to the Cascadebadge, Misty gives out [[TM11]], {{m|Bubblebeam}}, in ''[[Pokémon Red and Blue|Pokémon Red, Blue]]'', ''[[Pokémon Green|Green]]'', and ''[[Pokémon Yellow|Yellow]]''. In ''[[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen]]'', she gives out [[TM03]], {{m|Water Pulse}}.

In ''[[Pokémon Gold and Silver|Pokémon Gold, Silver]]'', and ''[[Pokémon Crystal]]'', she doesn't give out a [[TM]].

Misty is a Water Pokémon Gym Leader from Cerulean City. She debuts in the [[Red, Green & Blue chapter (Special)|Red, Green & Blue]] chapter in ''[[PS006|Gyarados Splashes In!]]'' when {{Special|Red}} saves her from an enraged Gyarados, after being recaught, Red and Misty join forces to defeat [[Team Rocket]] and find the [[Moon Stone]], purpose reached in ''[[PS007|Raging Rhydon]]''.

As is shown in ''[[PS008|Suddenly Starmie]]'' she lives in a large mansion and is looked after by a hoarde of maids. Here she defeats Red in the [[Cerulean Gym]] and trains with him a couple of days to make them both stronger, at the end of this round she gives Red the [[Badge#Cascade Badge|Cascadebadge]].

Later, Red wants to teach his Pokémon {{m|Surf}}, but the HM he tries to acquire is destroyed, so Misty trades Red her Gyarados for his Krabby. Red still has Misty's Gyarados in his party to this day. Misty seems to have a crush on Red, and this is distinct from Misty's [[Pokéshipping|suspected crush]] on Ash in the [[Pokémon anime]], and in other manga.

In [[Johto]], during the second Team Rocket crisis, Suicune chooses Misty to be its partner.

==In the Electric Tale of Pikachu==
Misty first appears riding her bicycle and finding a Pikachu in a field. During her initial meeting with its [[Ash|owner]], she proceeds to explain how difficult it is to become a pro Pokémon Trainer and soon departs. Later, in a manner similar to the Pokémon anime, Ash runs into her again, only to take her bike to escape from a flock of [[Spearow]] and a [[Fearow]]. In the end, the bike shared the same fate as the anime counterpart.

Throughout the series, Misty and Ash travel together on occasion. At one point, Ash ends up having to battle her in the [[Cerulean Gym]] in order to win the [[Badge#Cascadebadge|Cascadebadge]] and to retrieve the hat she took off his head.

=In the TCG=
There is a [[Theme Deck]] named for Misty in the {{TCG|Gym Heroes}} expansion. It has two versions, [[Misty (TCG)|English]] and [[Misty (TCG - Japan)|Japanese]].

=In the TFG=
{{TFG ID|Next Quest|Misty|40}} appears as a rare trainer figure in the launch set, {{TFG|Next Quest}}, of the [[Pokémon Trading Figure Game]].

=Other appearances=
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
Misty appears as a random trophy.
====Trophy information====
Misty's the gym leader of Cerulean City and a real tomboy. She loves swimming and all things aquatic, so she makes a point of collecting Starmie, Staryu and other Water-type Pokémon. This is common among gym leaders: typically, the Pokémon kept by trainers tend to reflect that person's personality and preferences.

=Trivia=
*Misty's [[GSC]] depiction resembles a woman that was seen in the original Japanese trailer for [[Mewtwo Strikes Back]]{{fact}}.
* Misty's full name is often supposed by fans to be "Misty Waterflower", based on the title of the [[EP007|episode]] in which she is revealed as the Cerulean Gym Leader, but she is never actually referred to by that name in the anime. "Williams" is also listed as her last name on some websites. The writers of the show have confirmed that they do not know Misty's last name.
*Misty was the only one of [[Ash's friends]] to have [[Misty's Staryu|a Pokémon]] along with its [[Misty's Starmie|evolved form]] on her team at the same time.
*She is the only main character so far to have a genderless Pokémon.
*Misty is one of only two main characters that has no parent revealed, the other being [[Tracey Sketchit|Tracey]].
*Misty had the most Pokémon traveling with her than any of the main characters prior to their premier in the anime.
*Misty's Seiyuu, [[Mayumi Iizuka]], has hinted in her blog that Misty will return in [[Diamond and Pearl|Pokemon: Diamond and Pearl Anime]]{{fact}}. No such appearance has been made or confirmed yet, however.

Auron: New section: so i herd...

== Newbies! ==

Hey, i'm new too! Thank you very much for your comments, knowing me i'll buy Pearl... Do we have reviews on here? On my wiki, Simpedia, we have reviews for all The Sims 2 Expansion Packs, etc. Again, thanks for your comments and i'm a Wikiholic too, I'm Celticfan383 on [http://en.wikipedia.org Wikipedia] and Nathan, my real name, on [http://simpedia.co.uk Simpedia], our Simpedia server is awful so unless you can suggest a good free server, we're stuck with it, just keep refreshing, lol! [[User:Celticfan383|¡иąтнąи!]] | [[User_talk:Celticfan383|Talk]] | [mailto:nathan@simpedia.co.uk Email]| 19:31, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

:Let me know your friend code if and when you get Pearl! Mine's on my userpage, of course. And no, I don't think there are any reviews here. But finding an actual review shouldn't be hard (Neoseeker.com is a good place to start, off the top of my head).
:Hehe, I play Sims 2... not very often anymore, but I'm still a big fan of the game (too bad it doesn't work on my laptop... my laptop's widescreen, and setting the Sims to play in 1280x768 resolution only affects the UI, not to mention the lack of a mouse wheel gets in the way).
:But hey, if you've ever got any more questions about D/P, let me know. -- [[user:Jioruji Derako|'''J'''ioruji '''D'''erako.'''>''']] 01:48, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
::Heh! The Sims Stories was designed directly for Laptops... Anyway, i'd like to know, what are the 3 starter pokémon and what are their types? [[User:Celticfan383|¡иąтнąи!]] | [[User_talk:Celticfan383|Talk]] | [mailto:nathan@simpedia.co.uk Email]| 18:43, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
:::Hmm, Sims Stories? I'll have to take a look at that one, perhaps.
:::Alright, starters... I've got a sortable PokéDex on my [[User:Jioruji Derako/Start Page#Sortable PokéDex|Start page]], just check the Sinnoh section. It's sorted by number by default, so they'll be the top nine Pokémon on the list. Just to note, the Water-starter seems to be popular thanks to the secondary type it gains at the final evolution... I've run into a few of them on the Wi-Fi Battle Tower. Pain in the ass to get rid of those guys... -- [[user:Jioruji Derako|'''J'''ioruji '''D'''erako.'''>''']] 01:38, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
::::Just so you know, i always pick the water type! ;P [[User:Celticfan383|¡иąтнąи!]] | [[User_talk:Celticfan383|Talk]] | [mailto:nathan@simpedia.co.uk Email]| 18:52, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
:::::Hehe, and I normally pick up the first Dark or Electric-type I find. I've got a level 63 {{p|Luxray}} now. (I got the Grass-type as my starter, but didn't level him up as much.)
:::::The Water-type in this game is pretty good, though! With that Steel-type as well, it completely mixes up all the weaknesses and strengths. Cancels out a lot of Water's biggest problems (adds some new problems, but that's still a good thing). -- [[user:Jioruji Derako|'''J'''ioruji '''D'''erako.'''>''']] 18:03, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

== I win, you fail :P ==
Just saying hi, PvX is slow, not moving atm, and I actually enjoy playing these games sometimes :). I stopped playing about a year ago, as I get seriously addicted to games (ex:Guild Wars ;). Owned 2 Blue Versions, 1 Yellow (All lost but one Blue :P), 1 Gold, 1 Silver (Brother's now), 1 Crystal (Lost :(), Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald...wondering if I should get Pearl or Diamond, or just break the habit entirely? Tbh...I have spent over 3000+ hours playing these damn games :P. Fun tho. On another note, if I do get the game, I will not get all 3 starts in one game (as I have done the past, what? 7 games O.o...nor level 100 :P. I am the Zerris of Pokemon is appears! lolol) So what do you think of this set :) (favorite types ground, Steel, and Dragon)

*Garchomp Dragon/Ground Moves: Earthquake, Dragon Rush, Sandstorm. Dig
*Torterra Grass/Ground Moves: Earthquake, Solarbeam, Synthesis, Sunny Day
*Skarmory Flying/Steel Moves: Toxic, Fly, Whirlwind, Spikes
*Spirit Tomb Ghost/Dark Moves: Hypnosis, Dream Eater, Confuse Ray, Shadow Ball
*Lapris Water/Ice Moves: Ice Beam, Surf, Confuse Ray, Perish Song
Haven't decided on a fire Pokemon yet. Does Camprupt exist? Toxic combination pwns face. [[User:Readem|Readem]] 02:21, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

:Nooo! I finally find a wiki without you on it, and bam! There you are! At least I still have a few more websites to hang out on. *counts on hand and runs out of fingers* :P
:Anyways, never realized you played Pokémon... breaking habits sucks. Just buy the friggin' game, man. Then you can go on WiFi and get your ass kicked by Auron! (trust me, it's fun!) Can't say which is better, Pearl or Diamond... the only big difference is the legendary, {{p|Palkia}} or {{p|Dialga}}. There's a few other differences as well, but just a few Pokémon (such as {{p|Misdreavus}} in Pearl, and {{p|Murkrow}} in Diamond).
:And just so you know, it's uber-easy to get all three starters in these games. GTS FTW! ...that's the Global Trade Center. Basically, you put a Pokémon up for trade, specify what you want in return, then wait. A day or so later, somebody's traded with you from across the world... I bred my grass starter, put a baby up for trade, and got a baby water starter next time I went on the game. And my brother has the fire starter, so I'll probably make him breed it. Of course, I've got tons of extra baby starters now, so if you want any, send me a WiFi friend code and I can trade some to ya.

:Alright, the team looks pretty sweet, by the way. Garchomp makes for a 1337 quaker... Torterra's a nice one as well, what with Synthesis for healing and Solarbeam for attack. The rest look nice as well. And {{p|Camerupt}} is get-able in D/P as well, as far as I know... you might need to trade it over from R/S/E, but it's in there. Might I suggest checking my [[User:Jioruji Derako/Start Page#Sortable PokéDex|Sortable PokéDex]]? 'Tis quite useful for team creation. I still haven't added the Hoenn PokéDex yet, though. -- [[user:Jioruji Derako|'''J'''ioruji '''D'''erako.'''>''']] 07:29, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

::Hehe, I beat Battle Frontier with Skarmory and Alakazam. Swampert as runner up. Too bad Alakazam is not as 1337 as he once was :(. Highest Sp.att in the game, and fastest too= win. My Blastoise from Blue could own the Elite Four with struggle! Pretty fun imo. Don't worry, won't be contributing to this wiki much, as people seem to know what they are doing lulz. And Camprupt= bad. Was meaning Torkoal >.<. Toxic on him=ownz. [[User:Readem|Readem]] 19:02, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

== Just started D/P ==

I've just started Diamond and Pearl (bought both), how do I find out my friend code? (Hi, btw)—[[User:Ebany Salmonderiel|Ebany Salmonderiel]] 10:58, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
:Hmm, let's see now... you just started both games, right? After a certain point, you'll get a key item called the Pal Pad. You might need to get into the lower level of a Pokémon Center to get it (they don't have basements until a certain town, but it comes up quickly). Once you get the Pal Pad, you can use it to add codes, manage codes, and check your own code. Let me know when you get your code, eh?
:Oh, and hi. :P -- [[user:Jioruji Derako|'''J'''ioruji '''D'''erako.'''>''']] 06:21, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

== Just Started Diamond ==

Just started diamond few days ago. Looked for people I knew from other wikis and saw you. Anyways, sorry to sound greedy, but can I get the fire/water starters? My friend code is 4682 6352 2941. If you give me them I will love you for the rest of my life :).[[User:Teh Uber Pwnzer|Teh Uber Pwnzer]] 02:22, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
:Hahaha, I just got my first shiny, a Zubat while I was EV farming. :).[[User:Teh Uber Pwnzer|Teh Uber Pwnzer]] 05:10, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
::Hmm, I think I just got both the other starters... you'll have to wait a bit while I breed them, and however long it'll take to get hooked-up in game, but that aside, it's no big deal. :P
::Shiny Zubat eh? Farming speed points, I assume. (I'm not stranger to that process.) I'm still proud of my shiny Wobbuffet, though. Go Go Safari game... -- [[user:Jioruji Derako|'''J'''ioruji '''D'''erako.'''>''']] 01:16, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
:::Actually, I was going for defense points for my blissey. Killing tons of lvl 8 geodudes. With a base of 10 defense points, it needs them. And lucky you getting that Wobbufett :p. And thanks man. [[User:Teh Uber Pwnzer|Teh Uber Pwnzer]] 01:24, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
::::Yeah, I haven't been playing Pokémon at all for a while, so it may take a bit for me to dig up my Pokémon; aside from that, breeding isn't hard to do, I've got a stud of a Ditto and he/she just fires them off/out like a machine gun. (try to get that image out of your mind now.)
::::I'll try my best, though; do you have XFire or MSN/Yahoo messenger? That's a good way to see when I'm online, you can drop me a line that way and we can get synced up on wi-fi in that manner. (it's tough to get connected otherwise, without knowing in advance when someone's online.) -- [[user:Jioruji Derako|'''J'''ioruji '''D'''erako.'''>''']] 06:14, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
:::::Just got XFire. MSN annoys me and I've never used XFire or Yahoo messenger before. And that image you were telling me to get out of my head wont go away! --[[User:Teh Uber Pwnzer|Teh Uber Pwnzer]] 23:10, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
::::::Sorry to sound even ''more'' greedy, but do you happen to have a male dratini of a preferably high level I could borrow? Or even better a dratini/dragonair/dragonite who already has Outrage? I want to breed it with my female Gible once it gets Outrage. I'd let ya hold my shiny Crobat until I give it back. If you do, and are willing to, thanks. If you don't or arent willing to, its np. --[[User:Teh Uber Pwnzer|Teh Uber Pwnzer]] 02:21, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
:::::::Dratini? Don't think I even have one of those, yet. I'll let you know if I get my hands on one, but I don't think I've got one as of yet. (still have a lot of stuff in Emerald and whatnot.) -- [[user:Jioruji Derako|'''J'''ioruji '''D'''erako.'''>''']] 21:45, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
::::::::Alright, np. I might have one in one of the older games, but it'll be a while till I complete my pokedex. Thanks anyways. --[[User:Teh Uber Pwnzer|Teh Uber Pwnzer]] 22:23, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
:::::::::Dratini and other "rare" Pokémon of the sort are always the last ones I catch, barring some excessive amounts of awesome emanating from the Pokémon in question. Generally, I collect Dark-types, sometimes Steel- or Dragon-types as well; unfortunately, the jolly-polly rolly-polly Dragonite doesn't fit into my idea of a kick-ass Dragon-type. (I'm extremely biased towards looks rather then function.) Salamenace, now that's a cool guy. And Garchomp. And Flygon, despite the goggle-eyes. Can't forget Rayquaza, either. -- [[user:Jioruji Derako|'''J'''ioruji '''D'''erako.'''>''']] 05:26, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
::::::::::I want the Dratini so I can breed a garchomp with Outrage :p. I'm looks biased too. I dont really like dragonite that much, but Outrage is one of the most powerful moves when used right. --[[User:Teh Uber Pwnzer|Teh Uber Pwnzer]] 05:38, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
:(reset indent): Oh, of course. I use Outrage on my Rayquaza, it's insane on him. Basically reads "The user rampages and instantly kills two or three foes. However, it then becomes confused." -- [[user:Jioruji Derako|'''J'''ioruji '''D'''erako.'''>''']] 08:56, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
::I'd use Outrage on Rayquaza too, except I dont have him in Diamond. I also wanna make an all non-legendary team, and Garchomp would be able to use Outrage well. And a quick question: is it possible to see Palkia without trading on Diamond? --[[User:Teh Uber Pwnzer|Teh Uber Pwnzer]] 22:43, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
:::As a matter of fact, it is. There's an old lady in the town you start the game in; she shows you a photo of the other game's Legendary, which counts it as "seen" in your PokéDex. I believe she has the photo for you once you've seen all the other Pokémon, and/or beaten the game. -- [[user:Jioruji Derako|'''J'''ioruji '''D'''erako.'''>''']] 03:50, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
::::Figured that out like 2 hours after I asked. You can see the photo after you beat/capture Dialga I think. --[[User:Teh Uber Pwnzer|Teh Uber Pwnzer]] 22:17, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

Omg, I hate myself so much. I accidently just traded a Pokemon that had my Exp. Share on it...[[User:Teh Uber Pwnzer|''' --Teh Uber Pwnzer''']] 04:28, 6 October 2007 (UTC)
:Ugh, the only way I'll be able to get a new one is if I transfer it from Emerald/Saph/LeafGreen/FireRed, and I don't have all 150 Sinnoh Pokemon yet.[[User:Teh Uber Pwnzer|''' --Teh Uber Pwnzer''']] 04:31, 6 October 2007 (UTC)
::You traded the Exp. Share from Diamond? That sucks.
::Luckily, getting all 150 isn't a hard task; you can see every one of them via trainer battles. Look up a FAQ on any old website, and do page searches for the ones you don't have; you can find the trainers that have them that way. -- [[user:Jioruji Derako|'''J'''ioruji '''D'''erako.'''>''']] 05:50, 6 October 2007 (UTC)
:::Still, without the Exp. Share, I'll have just two decent pokemon, the rest of mine pretty much suck. My lvl 60 something Alakazam and my lvl 60 something Torterra are the best ones I have. I guess my Dialga is pretty good too, it has ~220 Sp. Attack at just lvl 50, which is pretty insane(of course it has max Sp. Attack EV's, a Sp. Attack nature and Sp. Attack characteristic. Took forever for me to get the right nature + characteristic combo).
::::Hah, I actually beat the league with just those 3 + my 3 highest leveled fillers. The league is incredibly easy in this one.[[User:Teh Uber Pwnzer|''' --Teh Uber Pwnzer''']] 10:55, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

I'm breeding some gibles with outrage, ya want one?[[User:Teh Uber Pwnzer|''' --Teh Uber Pwnzer''']] 03:30, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
:And if so, any characteristic/nature combo you want?[[User:Teh Uber Pwnzer|''' --Teh Uber Pwnzer''']] 03:43, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
::Hmm? Sure, I'd love one. I still owe you the other starters, I'll make sure to get those bred and hatched for you so I can send them over. Nature isn't a big deal really; let's see, just not one that lowers Physical Attack or raises Special Attack. I'll need Physical Attack to be at least average, and any Special Attack boosts would be wasted on him/her. Aside from that, doesn't matter. Same goes for Characteristics, doesn't matter to me. -- [[user:Jioruji Derako|'''J'''ioruji '''D'''erako.'''>''']] 04:44, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
