The '''Pokémon Trading Card Game''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンカードゲーム''', ''Pokémon Card Game''), often abbreviated as '''Pokémon TCG''' or just '''TCG''', is a tabletop game that involves collecting, trading and playing with Pokémon themed playing cards. It has its own set of rules but uses many motifs and ideas derived from the [[core series|video games]]. There are {{TCG|Pokémon|Pokémon card}}s for every [[List of Pokémon by National Pokédex number|species]] of Pokémon, as well as {{TCG|Trainer card}}s featuring characters, items and other themes of the franchise (each with a different use) and {{TCG|Energy card}}s to power various actions. The artwork for the cards is provided by numerous artists.

The Pokémon TCG is a popular and steady aspect of the [[Pokémon]] franchise and is played and enjoyed by many fans. Over 30.4 billion Pokémon Trading Card Game cards have been produced worldwide in 13 languages, and being sold in 77 countries and regions.<ref>[https://corporate.pokemon.co.jp/en/aboutus/figures/ Pokémon in Figures｜The Pokémon Company]</ref> The game is part of the [[Play! Pokémon]] organized play along with the video game series and is also used in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game Online]].

==History==
[[File:JPCardback.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Original back of Japanese cards]]
The Pokémon Trading Card Game was originally published in Japan in 1996 by [[Media Factory]]. While other Pokémon card series existed in the past, this was the first card game based on the [[Pokémon]] series. The first Pokémon TCG sets took inspiration from the then released {{game2|Red|Green|Blue}} video games and initially featured illustrations by [[Ken Sugimori]], [[Mitsuhiro Arita]] and [[Keiji Kinebuchi]]. Soon new [[List of Pokémon Trading Card Game expansions|expansions]] began to release with many new artists contributing artwork. Three years later in 1999, Pokémon TCG was introduced in North America by [[Wizards of the Coast]] with the [[Base Set]], and worldwide soon after. In 2003, Wizards of the Coast's license was transferred to [[The Pokémon Company International]] by [[Nintendo]].

New features constantly appear in the Pokémon TCG. With the release of {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} video games, the ''[[#Neo Series|Neo Series]]'' (the second series of [[List of Pokémon Trading Card Game expansions|expansions]]), started bringing several [[Generation II|new Pokémon]] into play. The {{TCG|Metal}} and {{TCG|Darkness}} {{TCG|type}}s of Pokémon cards were also introduced, along with {{TCG|Light Pokémon}} and {{TCG|Dark Pokémon}}. These were eventually discontinued to prevent confusion with the {{tcg|Darkness|Darkness type}}, but returned briefly with the release of the {{TCG|Neo Destiny}} expansion. The ''[[#e-Card Series|e-Card Series]]'' used [[Game Boy Advance]] add-on [[e-Reader]] to display [[Pokédex]] data about the Pokémon, play a minigame, play various tunes in a [[Melody Box]], or activate a special attack for that Pokémon. The ''[[#EX Series|EX Series]]'' was released next (the first series released by [[The Pokémon Company International]] instead of [[Wizards of the Coast]]), introducing the stronger {{TCG|Pokémon-ex}} into the game. The ''[[#Diamond & Pearl Series|Diamond & Pearl Series]]'' brought {{TCG|Pokémon LV.X}}, which were stronger, "Leveled-up" versions of final evolutions. Pokémon LV.X essentially replaced Pokémon-ex and continued until the {{TCG|Platinum: Arceus}} expansion. The ''[[#HeartGold & SoulSilver Series|HeartGold & SoulSilver Series]]'' featured two more types of card, {{TCG|Pokémon LEGEND}}, two-part cards with one Pokémon on each card, and {{TCG|Pokémon Prime}}, Pokémon with powerful and/or tactical attacks. With the release of the {{TCG|Black & White}} expansion, {{TCG|Poké-Power}}s ({{DL|Appendix:Glossary (TCG)|Poké-POWER}}s and {{DL|Appendix:Glossary (TCG)|Poké-BODY}}s) were combined into one mechanic and renamed {{DL|Appendix:Glossary (TCG)|Ability|Abilities}}. ''Pokémon-ex'' returned as {{TCG|Pokémon-EX}} in the ''[[#Black & White Series|Black & White Series]]'' starting with the {{TCG|Next Destinies}} expansion. The {{TCG|Dragon}} Pokémon {{TCG|type}} was introduced in the {{TCG|Dragon Vault}} expansion of the ''Black & White Series''. ''{{DL|Pokémon-EX (TCG)|M Pokémon-EX}}'' were introduced in the {{TCG|XY}} expansion and introduce the [[Mega Evolution]] mechanic featured in the [[Pokémon X and Y]] video games to the TCG. The ''[[#XY Series|XY Series]]'' also introduced the {{TCG|Fairy}} {{TCG|type}} Pokémon. {{TCG|Pokémon-GX}} was introduced in the ''Sun & Moon Series''.

With the release of the ''[[#EX Series|EX Series]]'' worldwide, Pokémon TCG started publishing directly under [[Nintendo]] via its whole owned subsidiary [[The Pokémon Company International]], instead of [[Wizards of the Coast]]. In 2006, [[The Pokémon Company]] replaced Media Factory in distributing the cards in Japan starting with the ''[[#Diamond & Pearl Series|Diamond & Pearl Series]]''.

Two [[Game Boy Color]] video games based on the card game were created: {{ga|Pokémon Trading Card Game}} was released in 1998 and worldwide in 2000, and its sequel, [[Pokémon Card GB2: Here Comes Team GR!]], was released three years later. [[Pokémon Card Game: How to Play DS]] was released in Japan in 2011 and taught players how to play the Pokémon TCG. In 2011, the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game Online]] was introduced as a ''browser-based'' game but later became a downloadable game for PC, Mac, and iPad. Other media related to Pokémon TCG include several {{pkmn|manga}} titles, such as the series [[How I Became a Pokémon Card]].

==How to play==
[[File:Cardback.jpg|thumb|right|150px|Back of an English language card]]
:''See the {{TCG|Appendix:Glossary}} for a definition of most the Pokémon Trading Card Game terms.''
:''Also see the [http://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-tcg/play-online/tutorial/ Step-by-step Web Browser TCG Tutorials] on [[Pokémon.com]] for a visual introduction to the card game.''
The ''Pokémon Trading Card Game'' is a two player game for all ages. Each player builds a [[Deck]] of sixty (60) cards using a combination of various ''"{{TCG|Pokémon|Pokémon card}}s"'' (the main type of cards used to battle), ''"{{TCG|Trainer card}}s"'' (cards with special effects), and ''"{{TCG|Energy card}}s"'' (cards that are required to perform most "''{{TCG|Attack}}s''"). New cards and decks are constantly being released, and players may purchase "''{{TCG|Booster pack}}s''" to integrate these cards into their own decks or purchase pre-made "''{{DL|Appendix:Glossary (TCG)|Trainer kit}}s''" or "''{{TCG|Theme deck|Theme Deck}}s''" that already have all the cards needed to play. The ''Pokémon Trading Card Game'' officially requires a deck of 60 cards for {{TCG|Standard format|Standard}} or {{TCG|Expanded format|Expanded}} play, though shorter {{DL|Appendix:Glossary (TCG)|Match}}es can be held with "''{{TCG|Half Deck}}s''" consisting of 30 cards instead. During a 60 card match, only four of any one card, excluding {{TCG|Energy card|Basic Energy}} cards, are allowed in each deck. This is further limited to two of any one card in a Half Deck match. Many fans have also created their own game rules and playing methods and have websites devoted to providing alternative playing methods. These rules and methods are not allowed in [[Play! Pokémon]] competitions.

===Who goes first?===
A game of the ''Pokémon Trading Card Game'' is called a "''{{DL|Appendix:Glossary (TCG)|Match}}''". To begin a match, players need a {{TCG|Coin}} or a six-sided die (where the ''even number'' sides represent ''Heads'' and the ''odd number'' sides represent ''Tails''). One player calls ''heads'' or ''tails'', while the other player flips the coin or rolls the die. If the player calling the coin flip gets their choice (heads or tails), that player gets to choose which player goes first. If the player calling the coin flip does not get their choice, the player flipping the coin gets to choose which player goes first. The player who goes first is not allowed to {{TCG|Attack}} on that player's first turn.

===Setup===
After determining which player goes first, both players place their {{DL|Appendix:Glossary (TCG)|Shuffle|Shuffled deck}} face down on the upper right side of their respective half of the player area or "''{{DL|Appendix:Glossary (TCG)|Field}}''". The field is roughly split in half with each player utilizing the half closest to them. The players then each take seven cards from the top of their respective decks. These cards go into their "''{{DL|Appendix:Glossary (TCG)|Hand}}''". Players then place one {{TCG|Pokémon|Basic Pokémon}} from their hand face down in front of them toward the upper center of their half of the field as their "''{{DL|Appendix:Glossary (TCG)|Active Pokémon}}''". If they have more than one Basic Pokémon, they may place the rest face down directly in from of them in their "''{{DL|Appendix:Glossary (TCG)|Bench}}''". No more than five Pokémon may occupy a given player’s Bench at the same time. {{DL|Evolution|In the TCG|Evolved Pokémon}} count as only one Pokémon when in play on the field. If a player does not have any Basic Pokémon in their hand during setup, they must reshuffle all the cards in their hand back into their deck, and then draw seven more cards. Repeat this process until each player can play a Basic Pokémon as their Active Pokémon. If a player has to reshuffle to get a Basic Pokémon into play, that player’s opponent gets to take an extra card from the top of their deck and put it into their hand (one card per each reshuffle). Next, each player sets aside six cards from the top of their deck face down to the left side of their half of the field. These six cards are their "''{{DL|Appendix:Glossary (TCG)|Prize Card|Prize card}}s''". Finally, each player reveals (or flips over) their Active and Bench Pokémon.

===Turns===
A player’s turn consists of the following:
# First, draw a card from the top of that player's deck;
# Attach one {{TCG|Energy card}} to one of that player’s Pokémon in play (either {{DL|Appendix:Glossary (TCG)|Active Pokémon|Active}} or {{DL|Appendix:Glossary (TCG)|Bench|Bench Pokémon}});
# Play {{TCG|Pokémon|Basic Pokémon}} to that player's Bench,
# {{DL|Evolution|In the TCG|Evolve}} any of that player's Pokémon in play;
# [[Retreat cost|Retreat]] that player's Active Pokémon if the Active Pokémon can satisfy the {{TCG|Energy card}} retreat cost;
# Play any {{TCG|Trainer card}}s in that player's {{DL|Appendix:Glossary (TCG)|Hand}} pertaining to the rules on each Trainer card and then typically placing that Trainer card face up in the player’s "''{{DL|Appendix:Glossary (TCG)|Discard Pile}}''", which is locked on the right side of the player's field just below that player's deck;
# Use any {{DL|Appendix:Glossary (TCG)|Ability|Abilities}} or {{DL|Appendix:Glossary (TCG)|Pokémon Power}}s that appear on that player's Active or Bench Pokémon, and
# Finally, "''{{TCG|Attack}}''" if that player has the appropriate {{TCG|Energy card|Energy card(s)}} attached on that player's {{DL|Appendix:Glossary (TCG)|Active Pokémon}}. Attacking '''always ends''' that player’s turn. The first player to have a turn is not allowed to attack, but all other actions are allowed as described above.
Other than the first and last actions, players may perform any action in any order. Players alternate turns until one player wins the game.

===Damage===
Pokémon {{TCG|Attack}}s typically cause {{DL|Appendix:Glossary (TCG)|Damage}} or apply a {{TCG|Special Conditions|Special condition}}. Special conditions have their own unique rules. Damage to all Pokémon in play is tracked with {{DL|Appendix:Glossary (TCG)|Damage|Damage Counters}} or dice. When the damage to a given Pokémon equals or exceeds that Pokémon’s {{DL|Appendix:Glossary (TCG)|Hit Points}}, it is "''{{DL|Appendix:Glossary (TCG)|Knock Out|Knocked Out}}''" and placed face up in the player’s {{DL|Appendix:Glossary (TCG)|Discard Pile}} along with any other cards that were attached to it (such as {{TCG|Energy card}}s). When an {{DL|Appendix:Glossary (TCG)|Active Pokémon}} is knocked out, the player's whose Pokémon was knocked out must replace the former Active Pokémon with another Pokémon from that player's {{DL|Appendix:Glossary (TCG)|Bench}}. At the same time, the player who knocked out his or her opponent's Pokémon gets to take any one of that player's remaining face down {{DL|Appendix:Glossary (TCG)|Prize card}}s and put that prize card into that player's hand.

===Winning a match===
To win a match, players must:
# Take their six [[Appendix:Glossary (TCG)#Prize Card|prize cards]] by {{DL|Appendix:Glossary (TCG)|Knock Out|knocking out}} their opponent's Pokémon by using {{TCG|Attack}}s to reduce the opponent's [[Appendix:Glossary (TCG)#Hit Points|HP to zero]].
# Players may also win when their opponent ''runs out of Pokémon'' on the field of play, which includes their [[Appendix:Glossary (TCG)#Active Pokémon|Active Pokémon]] and [[Appendix:Glossary (TCG)#Bench|Bench Pokémon]], or
# If their opponent ''cannot draw a card'' from their [[Deck]] at the beginning of their turn.

Ho-Oh (anime)

'''Ho-Oh''' (Japanese: '''ホウオウ''' ''Houou'') is a [[legendary Pokémon]] that [[Ash Ketchum]] has sighted several times. It has shown up at a few significant moments in Ash's life. It was the first {{cat|Generation II Pokémon}} to appear in any Pokémon media, making it the first sign that the franchise would ever expand beyond 151.

Legends say that Ho-Oh lived in the [[Bell Tower|Tin Tower]] in ancient times. However, war broke out, and when the [[Burned Tower|Brass Tower]] was burned, Ho-Oh created {{p|Raikou}}, {{p|Entei}}, and {{p|Suicune}} and then left. A new [[Bell Tower|Tin Tower]] was created, but Ho-Oh never returned.

==History==
[[File:Ho-Oh Debut.png|220px|thumb|left|Ho-Oh's first appearance, in ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'' completely colored in gold]]
{{Ash}} first saw Ho-Oh in ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]''. It appeared in a forest on his way to [[Viridian City]] during his first day as a {{pkmn|Trainer}}. He was lying on the ground with his injured {{AP|Pikachu}} and saw it fly over the rainbow that appeared in the sky after a storm. His [[Pokédex]] could not identify it and explained that many Pokémon were still unknown. In ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'', he tried to explain to {{an|Professor Oak}} what he had seen, though the image he used to point it out appeared to be of an {{p|Articuno}} rather than {{p|Ho-Oh}}. Either way, {{an|Professor Oak}} didn't believe him and brushed it off as Ash being mistaken. This gold-colored version of Ho-Oh was an early concept of Ho-Oh as a Pokémon, as it, like all other [[Generation II]] Pokémon at that time, had not been fully developed yet.

The topic was brought up again in ''[[EP181|A Ghost of a Chance]]''. While Ash was in [[Johto]], he explained his encounter to [[Eusine]], who also did not believe that Ash had seen this legendary Pokémon. In ''[[EP227|For Ho-Oh the Bells Toll!]]'' they heard the bells in the Tin Tower ringing, which would signal Ho-Oh's approach. At this point, Eusine was so upset by Ash's claim that he challenged him to a {{pkmn|battle}}.

As fate would have it, Ash saw Ho-Oh a second time in ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later!]]'' after he parted ways with his close friends {{an|Brock}} and {{an|Misty}}. The third time he saw it was in ''[[AG178|Battling the Enemy Within!]]'' after {{an|May}} pointed to it flying in the sky after Ash lost an informal challenge against [[Pyramid King Brandon]] and was released from possession by [[King of Pokélantis|the King of Pokélantis' spirit]].

Ho-Oh's appearance is that it is a very large Pokémon, and there is one shot in ''[[EP181|A Ghost of a Chance]]'' in the [[Bell Tower|Tin Tower]] that shows three humans on their knees while Ho-Oh is perched up on a stand. Ho-Oh appears to be significantly larger than the humans.

==Characteristics==
===Defense===
The Fairy type is arguably one of the best defensive types in the game. It has key resistances to the common {{t|Dark}} and {{t|Fighting}} types, giving it resistance to common moves such as Pursuit and Mach Punch; as well as the {{t|Bug}} type, which means a resistance to {{m|U-turn}}. Most of all, it also has a useful immunity to {{t|Dragon}}-type moves (it should be noted, however, that most Dragon-type Pokémon can learn {{t|Steel}}-type moves to address this problem). Its only weaknesses are to {{t|Poison}} and {{t|Steel}}, both of which are rarely used.

===Offense===
Fairy is almost as useful on the offensive side as well; it has three strengths, being Dragon, Fighting and Dark, all of which are other great types defensively. However, it also has three resistors, though Fire-types still struggle defensively anyway, and Poison-types are still statistically weak. As a bonus, every type that resists Fairy is weak to Ground, making a Fairy/Ground attacking combo potentially popular.

==Pokémon==
As of Generation VI, there are 34 Fairy-type Pokémon, or 4.5% of all Pokémon (counting [[Form differences|forms]] and [[Mega Evolution]]s that change typing as different Pokémon), tying it with {{t|Ghost}} as the rarest type.

==Trivia==
* As the Fairy type was introduced after [[Physical move|physical]] and [[Special move|special]] became attributes assigned to individual moves rather than types, it is the only type without an associated damage category.
* Out of the three types added since Generation I (the other two being {{t|Dark}} and {{t|Steel}} in Generation II), the most Pokémon were retroactively changed to Fairy, with 23.
** It is also the only one out of the three to completely change the types of Pokémon from previous generations, changing several previously pure Normal-type Pokémon like {{p|Snubbull}} to pure Fairy.

'''Anistar City''' (Japanese: '''ヒャッコクシティ''' ''Hyakkoku City'') is a city located in the [[Kalos]] [[region]].

==Places of interest==
===Anistar Gym===
{{main|Anistar Gym}}
The Anistar Gym is the official [[Gym]] of Anistar City, whose Gym Leader is [[Olympia]] and specializes in {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon.

===Café===
In the northern part of town is a café the player pays to enter. Daily, patrons inside will show off a Pokémon that is indexed by the [[Pokédex]] if previously unseen.

===Hidden Power Checker===
After providing the player [[TM10]], a man in the house next to the boutique will tell the player what type {{m|Hidden Power}} will act as for any Pokémon he is shown.

===Sundial===
The Sundial to the north of the city is used in the post-game to upgrade the [[Mega Ring]]. This also allows the player to find the [[Mega Stones]] hidden throughout [[Kalos]].

===Old man's house===
In the house two spots north of the boutique, an old man can be found depressed because of the death of his wife. He will ask the player to lend him any Pokémon level 5 or under to keep him company for the time being. After defeating the Elite Four, the player can return to the house only to find that the old man has passed away and left behind a Poké Ball containing the Pokémon lent to him, a letter thanking the player for their helping him in his last moments, and a {{DL|Valuable item|Comet Shard}}. However, if the player has a full team, they cannot take the Pokémon back until an open spot is made.

===Memory Girl===
Next to the entrance of the Pokémon Center is a girl who can read Pokémon memories. She can tell the player things like whether the Pokémon was hatched from an Egg, or a particular situation where it was used in battle. If a Pokémon is traded from another player or is fed treats by someone, she can tell the player these facts as well. For example, a [[Bulbasaur (Pokémon)|Bulbasaur]] hatched and traded to another player might generate a message like this: "[[Venusaur (Pokémon)|Venusaur]] hatched from an Egg and saw ''Trainer 1'' for the first time at...[[Lumiose City|a large city]]. The Pokémon remembers that it was restless. And...Venusaur was raised by ''Trainer 2'' and evolved at [[Kalos Route 17|a snow-swept road]]. The Pokémon remembers that it got light-hearted."

==After main story==
When the player defeats {{ga|Serena}} or {{ga|Calem}} at [[Kiloude City]], they inform the player that [[Professor Sycamore]] is waiting for them in Anistar City at the sundial with info on [[Mega Stone]] and the [[Mega Ring]]. At the sundial, Professor Sycamore tells the player that he has discovered a way to level up the Mega Ring. He tells the player to touch it against the sundial, and after doing so, he reveals that from 8 pm to 9 pm, the Mega Ring will resonate with Mega Stones that are underground. However, this will only be possible at that time, when the sun is shining through the sundial. It will not work at any other time.

==Trivia==
* Anistar's Japanese motto is {{tt|星巡る　時告げの　街|The city that tells the time surrounded by the stars}}.
==Origin==
Anistar City's real-life counterpart is the city of {{wp|Strasbourg}}, where traces of human occupation have been found dating back 600,000 years. Strasbourg's entire city center has been designated a World Heritage Site.

Bioness: /* Clefairy */

==Magikarp==
Could the extra fin not be the tail? Like when fish swim they bend their body? although i admit it is HUGE [[User:Buizel1991|Buizel1991]] 18:34, 29 May 2011 (UTC)
:Actually, now that I've had a closer look at it, it could indeed be the tail. Its pose could just mean it is supposed to be turning. And I can now see its other fin below the large "fin". I may need to wait untill tomorrow to remove it though, since there is that draconian one edit per day rule (even though it will be moved the mainspace when it is cleaned up). Thanks for noticing that. '''X'''[[User:Vuvuzela2010|'''Vuvuzela2010''']]'''X''' 19:38, 29 May 2011 (UTC)
::Not a problem, glad i could help :) [[User:Buizel1991|Buizel1991]] 14:44, 30 May 2011 (UTC)

==Raikou and Entei==
Just to elaborate a bit on Raikou, you say it has a "weird face". That's because it's missing that blue "x" across its muzzle, also the fur on its back is colored orange instead of purple. You've forgotten Entei who was missing the long strands of fur down the sides of his head in G/S but corrected in Crystal. :) Just thought I'd let you know. Looks like an interesting article. [[Typhlosion (Pokémon)|★]][[User:Jo The Marten|Jo the Marten]][[Flygon (Pokémon)|★]] [[User_Talk:Jo The Marten|ಠ_ಠ]][[Cilan (anime)|♥]] 14:54, 30 May 2011 (UTC)

Furthermore, Raikou's mane is not purple in Gen II because sprites from Crystal backward only used four colors. [[User:Ais5174|~ By Caroline under Bulbagarden ~]] ([[User talk:Ais5174|talk]]) 04:42, 3 August 2013 (UTC)

==Chansey==
Also i have just remembered Chansey's Red/Blue sprite, shouldn't that be noted as it's body is a different shape? [[User:Buizel1991|Buizel1991]] 18:43, 30 May 2011 (UTC)

Lileep has wrong sprite (ruby sprite for Gen IV?) [[User:Marked +-+-+|Marked +-+-+]] 11:25, 25 September 2011 (UTC)

==Couple things==
*The Kakuna sprite is not an error. Those are its arms, as shown on the bandai card in {{p|Kakuna}}'s trivia.
*I wouldn't call the ekans sprite an error, as it is still purple.
*Mankey sprite doesn't look erroneous, just, badly made. Along with corsola.

--[[User:Force Fire|'''F''']][[Reshiram (Pokémon)|orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F''']][[Zekrom (Pokémon)|ire]] 11:36, 25 September 2011 (UTC)
:Kakuna is still here because I havent got round to updating this (last edit was 5th August), same reason why Slowpoke is still here and the other Japan only sprites are missing. Ekans's sprite does have a bit of purple, but not nearly as much purple as it should have, so it is at least a colouring error. I dont really know what to write for Corsola or Mankey though. [[User:Vuvuzela2010|'''Vuvuzela2010''']][[Pikachu (Pokémon)|'''⚡''']] 16:59, 25 September 2011 (UTC)

==Minor sprite errors==
*Just found some extremely minor sprite mess-ups. In G/S the tips of Ampharos's ears are yellow, when they are supposed to be black. Also, Octillery has yellow eyes in G/S. Also, in D/P Shiny Latias has golden eyes when they are supposed to be green iirc.{{unsigned|Ninask46}}
:Page says that anyone can edit it. Eg. I found that Grovyle has blue leaves prior to BW, Seedot has green… "stuff" instead of black, Cradily also having orange tentacles, and Armaldo having gray plates on chest (while they should be blue-alike). Also, remember to sign posts with four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>) [[User:Marked +-+-+|Marked +-+-+]] 15:11, 1 October 2011 (UTC)
::Excuse my ignorance but when i try to edit the page states, "You do not have permission to edit pages in the User namespace." So, I cannot i'm afraid. Also, here's a few more sprite errors: In G/S bellossom's normal form had pink flowers on it head, while shiny bellossom had red flowers. This was reversed in later generations. [[User:Ninask46|Ninask46]] 15:25, 1 October 2011 (UTC)
:::I don't think that a Bellossom one is very notable, since the same happened to Smeargle. [[User:Marked +-+-+|Marked +-+-+]] 15:28, 1 October 2011 (UTC)
::::Meh. I'm really bored so i'll post some more for you, Marked-+-+-+, or whoever wants to edit it,
::::*G/S - Starmie has a Purple gem in the center, Skiploom has yellow at the tips of its ears, Forretress was very dark, Spinarak was purple.
::::*R/S/E - Elecktrike is missing a spike on his tail.
::::*D/P - Extremely minor, but if you look closely, Drifblim's eyes are smaller. [[User:Ninask46|Ninask46]] 19:38, 1 October 2011 (UTC)

==Hoenn==
Just noticed that pretty much of Hoenn Pokémon got their sprite updated in BW. There could be errors in these Pokémon… [[User:Marked +-+-+|Marked +-+-+]] 15:05, 1 October 2011 (UTC)

==Growlithe and Arcanine==
Here's another sprite error. In almost all the sprites except Generation V, Arcanine's mane, tail, and hair are yellow instead of beige. This error still remains for its pre-evolution Growlithe even up until Generation V, when its hair should be beige as Arcanine's is. [[User:Haxorus|'''Hax''']][[User talk:Haxorus|'''or''']][[Special:MyContributions|'''us''']] 01:43, 7 March 2012 (UTC)

==Shiny Gastly in Emerald==
This should be removed. The error appears to be in the gif for that Pokémon, not the true representation of the sprite in-game. Using certain hacks, I have managed to bring about a wild shiny Gastly encounter in Emerald, and as far as I could see all the frames showed blue gas. Unless someone else wants to verify this, I think it should be removed. Cheers, [[User:Haxorus|'''Hax''']][[User talk:Haxorus|'''or''']][[Special:MyContributions|'''us''']] 16:24, 11 March 2012 (UTC)
==Clefairy==
Is it me or [[File:Spr_b_g1_035.png]] has upside-down tail? [[User:Marked +-+-+|Marked +-+-+]] 15:58, 20 April 2012 (UTC)

==What's this?==
IDK, but this page seems to me more an error than the sprites themselves. Mostly because there are just a few of these that are actual errors, and the rest are just someone's misinformed perception.
By Generation:
In generation I for example, Ivysaur's R/B sprite IS an actual error, because it cannot stand on its hind legs. However, saying that Venusaur lacking six petals is an error is ignorance. Sprites are ALWAYS done BEFORE the artwork by Ken Sugimori, so if he wants to make last minute modifications, they are reflected in the artwork, but not in the sprites. Yes, the sprites are ugly, but when compared to the official artwork which was done months AFTER the sprites were designed (which is actually the case with all gens btw).

For Generation II, you cannot say that sprites are wrongly colored. First (the case of Spinarak, Sneasel, Raikou, etc.) because they were designed to look like that at first, but Ken Sugimori thought they didn't look cool at all and changed them in the artwork and in Crystal. And second, the sprites were limited to 2 colors (not counting black and white), so Gligar's tongue color isn't an error. They couldn't use anything besides the two colors already picked. Designs such as Skarmory's double tail and Croconaw's head spike were uncool to the designers, so they were later changed. Still no errors.

Your selection of Generation III suffers from the same. Coloring is done before the artwork, so it WILL look wrong. They wanted Wartortle to be purple, but Ken Sugimori chose blue for the artwork. Same happened to Growlithe (in all gens). I could say that R/S Pidgeot's back sprite IS an error, because it's just a recolor of its Gen II sprite, which lacked long feathers on its head.
And of course, Slowbro, Gastly, Totodile and a ton more. Their Emerald shiny sprites ARE NOT wrongly colored. It was the person who riped the sprites' fault. The program they used to create the sprites made stupid asumptions upon their color palettes which broke them and look wrong, but trust me, if you play Pokémon Emerald and have those Pokémon in their shiny version, you'll notice that what we have here in Bulbapedia is wrong.

All your Generation IV and V suffer from exactly the same as what I mentioned in Gen III.

TL;DR. '''[[User:Hfc2x|hfc]][[User talk:Hfc2x|2X]]''' 00:26, 16 May 2012 (UTC)

: I agree with you. I actually just tried to edit the page, but my hour's worth of work was wasted when my Internet cut. I'll try again later (in a few days). Some things aren't even explained at all, which I also filled in (and lost). We should probably make a subsection called Sprite Differences for Pokémon whose sprites remain consistent throughout at least one whole generation but are later changed. Scizor, for example, has two thick, black lines on its abdomen in Gens II-III, but gets a third in IV-V. It's not like a random, individual sprite was done wrong—every sprite up until Gen IV was like that. Growlithe/Arcanine's "error" is ridiculous. Every single sprite from Gen II through IV had yellowish tan fur, but because Arcanine's B/W sprite better resembles its FR/LG artwork, every other sprite is wrong? --[[User:IWannaBeTheVeryBest|IWanna]]BeThe[[User talk:IWannaBeTheVeryBest|VeryBest]] 16:31, 25 July 2013 (UTC)
::We could throw that one into Sprite differences. [[User:Marked +-+-+|Marked +-+-+]] ([[User talk:Marked +-+-+|talk]]) 16:39, 25 July 2013 (UTC)

==Clefairy==
As more as I think, it seems that the error is actually in Generation II and III. First generation has it that way, Gen V has it that way, animé has that way… And we didn't saw how the tail is actually on artwork. [[User:Marked +-+-+|Marked +-+-+]] ([[User talk:Marked +-+-+|talk]]) 15:07, 28 July 2012 (UTC)

I think it should be moved to sprite variation as even the animators can't tell whether the tail curls up or down for Cleffa, Clefairy, and Clefable. [[User:Bioness|Bioness]] ([[User talk:Bioness|talk]]) 21:44, 6 December 2013 (UTC)

==Mankey RBG==
Is "looks like an alien" a valid criterion in any way? [[User: Ariano|Արիանո]] 18:15, 27 March 2013 (UTC)

==Gastly and Mankey==
Accidentally pressed "enter" so I'll explain here; it's mentioned in the Pokédex that Gastly are barely visible, and have no definite shape, as they are made entirely of gas. And Mankey "looking like aliens" is not exactly a ''valid'' reason for being here, not in my opinion, at least. [[User:Nepse|Nepse]] ([[User talk:Nepse|talk]]) 06:57, 7 May 2013 (UTC)

==Sprite Variants==
I propose we merge '''Similar examples that are not sprite errors''' and '''Artwork changes''' into another section called '''Sprite Variants'''. In this new section, we can add each sprite whose "error" has legitimacy. For example, we already have Kakuna, Slowpoke, and Lugia, who basically fall under the "I've been depicted in various media differently so this one sprite isn't entirely an error" category. The others I see here are:
* Venusaur, who has 5 petals in an official artwork and about half of its sprites.
* Ekans (RG/RB), whose "white" (which, by the way, it isn't) is due to the two-tone coloration of the Game Boy.
* Slowpoke (RG/G/C), who had a white underbelly in some artworks.
* Moltres (G/S/C), whose RG artwork and RG/RB sprites have wings of pure fire.
* Slugma (Gen II back), who literally just has a few extra bubbles.
* Magcargo, who was pink/brown in G/S (a legitimate error); red/grey in Crystal, the anime, the 3D games, the TCG, and all the art; but orange/grey in the games from Gen III on.
* Wartortle, who's gone from light blue to dark blue to downright purple to indigo to light blue in the game sprites.
* Scizor, who used to have two black bands on its abdomen in Gen II and its artwork but has three as of Gen III and HG/SS's artwork.
* And lastly, Growlithe and Arcanine. Note how their RG artworks have yellowish fur:
* [[File:058Growlithe RG.png]] [[File:059Arcanine RG.png]]
* Sure, their FR/LG artworks have light brown fur, but that doesn't make all the yellowish-fur sprites "errors." It just means we have variants. --[[User:IWannaBeTheVeryBest|IWanna]]BeThe[[User talk:IWannaBeTheVeryBest|VeryBest]] 15:53, 3 August 2013 (UTC)

==Raikou G3 sprite==
Sprite limitation? On Game Boy Advance? Wha? Okay, that's an excuse in Game Boy and Game Boy Color, since these DO have limitations, but GBA? First time hearing… [[User:Marked +-+-+|Marked +-+-+]] ([[User talk:Marked +-+-+|talk]]) 09:16, 6 August 2013 (UTC)
:Whatever it is, the tail and muzzle are grey, not blue. Same occurs in Gen IV (sans HG/SS front sprite, which is correct). --[[User:IWannaBeTheVeryBest|IWanna]]BeThe[[User talk:IWannaBeTheVeryBest|VeryBest]] 17:53, 6 August 2013 (UTC)

==Game Description==
Instead of busting my Pokémon-capturing orbs trying to assert that a particular error only appears in the Japanese version of a certain sprite in a certain game, we should instead place some kind of marker next to the game's link template, such as "(J)". The Red/Green box on every Pokémon sprite list uses "(Ja)". I prefer (J).
:Instead of
:[[File:Spr b 2g 127 jp.png]] | {{p|Pinsir}} | {{v2|Gold and Silver|s}} | The Japanese version has an extraneous wing-like exoskeleton segment.
:we could have
:[[File:Spr b 2g 127 jp.png]] | {{p|Pinsir}} | {{v2|Gold and Silver|s}} (J) | Extraneous wing-like exoskeleton segment.
Now, isn't that lovely? --[[User:IWannaBeTheVeryBest|IWanna]]BeThe[[User talk:IWannaBeTheVeryBest|VeryBest]] 06:51, 7 August 2013 (UTC)

Even if these [[File:Spr 4d 110.png]] [[ File:Spr 5b 110.png]] [[File:Spr b 5b 110.png]] were simply tipped over, it's still deformed because the third chamber shouldn't jut out from the back of its head.

This is a more believable position for Weezing tipping over. --[[User:IWannaBeTheVeryBest|IWanna]]BeThe[[User talk:IWannaBeTheVeryBest|VeryBest]] 13:41, 21 August 2013 (UTC)

==Sprite limitations==
[[File:Spr 2g 007.png]] I think these should go in their own table, alongside Errors and Variants. Gen I and II were severely restricted to a few colors on-screen at once, so they're not really errors. Poor Squirtle here would be an Error if we don't do this. Please, think of Squirtle! --[[User:IWannaBeTheVeryBest|IWanna]]BeThe[[User talk:IWannaBeTheVeryBest|VeryBest]] 21:36, 22 August 2013 (UTC)

'''Mewtwo''' (Japanese: '''ミュウツー''' ''Mewtwo'') is a {{type|Psychic}} {{pkmn2|legendary}} Pokémon.

It has a similar background to the {{an|Mewtwo}} who was in ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', but it is a distinct, separate individual.

==History==
[[File:Mega Mewtwo anime.png|thumb|250px|left|Mewtwo as [[Mega Evolution|Mega Mewtwo Y]]]]
Mewtwo was created by a [[Mewtwo's creators|group of scientists]] as result of an experiment of recombining {{p|Mew}}'s genes. As it was put through a series of painful experiments after its awakening, it soon destroyed the laboratory where it had been created, and fled. Feeling to be alone in the entire world, Mewtwo rejected everything around it.

In [[SS026]], Mewtwo was ambushed by a [[Pokémon poacher|Pokémon hunter]] called [[Danku]], who had been hired to recapture Mewtwo. Mewtwo managed to escape Danku's initial attack, but was badly wounded as a result, so it retreated into a cave to recover in secret. Danku was able to trick [[Virgil]], {{un|Anna}}, and {{un|Oscar}} into finding Mewtwo, and then launched another assault on it with his {{p|Tyranitar}}, two {{p|Escavalier}}, and a group of miniature force-field inducing robots. Despite having not completely recovered yet, Mewtwo put up a good fight, but was eventually subdued. However, as one Danku's {{p|Tyranitar}}'s {{m|Hyper Beam}}s accidentally hit some of the robots, they malfunctioned and sparked, starting a forest fire. Danku sent his remaining robots on Mewtwo, but it managed to break free from them, and then Mega Evolved into Mega Mewtwo Y, easily defeating the remaining robots with its incredible speed. As it saw that the forest Pokémon, as well as Virgil, Anna, and Oscar, were trapped in the middle of the fire, it used its Psychic powers to lift a large pool a water off from a nearby lake, and make it rain over the forest, putting out the fire. It then crushed Danku's Poké Balls, freeing Tyranitar and Escavalier. Afterwards it claimed it had only tried to save the Pokémon, and asked Virgil, Anna, and Oscar to forget ever seeing it. It then fled, wondering if this world had a place where it could belong.

Afterwards, Mewtwo was caught in a fierce thunderstorm. Having not recovered completely, it sought shelter in a cave, where several other [[wild Pokémon]] were also taking cover from the rain. The other Pokémon initially seemed cautious towards it, but as a lightning bolt struck and caused Mewtwo to fall over and pass out, the Pokémon saw its need for help, and used their health-restoring moves on it, allowing it to recover faster. Seeing this, Mewtwo realized that it wasn't alone in the world after all, and started considering all the wild Pokémon as its friends, although it still kept its cold attitude towards humans.
[[File:Mewtwo and Flying-types.png|thumb|250px|right|Mewtwo with some of its Pokémon friends]]
In ''[[M16|Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]'', Mewtwo was having a flying race with several {{t|Flying|bird}} Pokémon, and went on to challenge its own powers by changing into its Mega Evolution and speeding as high as it could go, until it reached the edge of space. Feeling that it couldn't stay at this hostile environment, it let itself fall down, until it heard a telepathic voice, asking to get back home. It went towards the source of the voice, and found the [[Genesect Army]] at a snowy mountain area. An avalanche started and threatened the group of Paleozoic Pokémon. Changing into its Mega Evolution, Mewtwo was able to save all of them but the Red Genesect. Realizing that it had heard the voice of the Douse Drive Genesect, Mewtwo read its mind, discovering that they were Pokémon who, like it, were [[Artificial Pokémon|created by humans]]. The Red Genesect then reappeared, having survived the avalanche, and attacked Mewtwo, who explained that the world had thoroughly changed since they had last been alive, and asked them to come with it. Not trusting Mewtwo, the Red Genesect forced its companions to attack Mewtwo, fending it off before leaving.

Mewtwo followed the Genesect Army to [[New Talk City]], which they had thought to be a good replacement for their past home, its tall buildings resembling the stone pillars around their ancient habitat. The Red Genesect had found the Douse Drive Genesect making friends with {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}}, but felt them as threats, and had it attack its new friends. Thankfully Mewtwo in its Mega Evolution was able to block the attack, saving Ash and his friends as the Genesect fled. Mewtwo asked them if they were alright, but ignored Ash, {{an|Iris}}, and {{an|Cilan}}'s thanks, saying that it was only trying to save {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{TP|Iris|Axew}}. Ash pleaded to know more about Genesect, so Mewtwo explained how they were Pokémon created by humans, having been restored from 300-million-years-old [[fossil]]s, and then having weaponized armors attached to their bodies. As they were now in a completely different world than they used to live in, everything around them seemed alien to them, and they treated everyone around them as their enemies. Mewtwo explained how it knew how they felt, for it was also created by humans. It then told Ash and his friends to forget ever seeing it, and flew away, knocking over the eavesdropping {{TRT}} in the process.

Later, a pair of {{p|Starly}} came to Mewtwo, explaining how the Genesect Army had taken over the [[Pokémon Hills]], building their new, giant nest in the middle of it and chasing away all the Pokémon that had used to live in there. Mewtwo arrived at the Pokémon Hills just in time to save a {{p|Feraligatr}} from falling after it had tried to battle the Red Genesect, but failed. Mewtwo tried to reason with the Red Genesect, telling it to stop hurting the Pokémon in the city. It soon became clear, however, that the Red Genesect refused to listen to any orders given to it, so Mewtwo realized it had to battle it in order to make it stop. With Mewtwo changing into its Mega Evolution and the Red Genesect changing into its High-Speed Flight Form, the two Pokémon had a high-speed battle race across New Talk City, until they both finally returned to the Pokémon Hills. When the Red Genesect tried to have its companions attack the wild Pokémon that had returned to protect their home, Mewtwo used {{m|Protect}} to save them. Mewtwo gave the Genesect Army a final warning, ordering them to stop, or it would have to defeat them. After taking a few hits from the Burn, Shock, and Chill Drive Genesect, Mewtwo changed into its Mega Evolution once again, engaging in yet another high-speed battle with the Red Genesect, this time inside the Pokémon Hills. The Red Genesect commanded its fellow Genesect to stop Mewtwo with their sticky threads, but Mewtwo was easily able to knock them down. This, however, caused a shortcut in the Pokémon Hills power generator, making the Genesect nest burn. As Mewtwo was distracted for a second while watching the Pokémon below trying to stop the fire, the Red Genesect took the opportunity to attack it with {{m|Blaze Kick}}.

Before Mewtwo could fall down, Ash managed to grab a hold of it, holding it up for the couple of seconds it needed to recharge. As Mewtwo and the Red Genesect prepared for a final faceoff, Ash stepped between the two, saying that this place wasn't the Genesect's home, and told how he had made a promise to the Douse Drive Genesect to find it a home, saying that every Pokémon belong somewhere. All the Pokémon, including Mewtwo, seemed to understand Ash's point, but the Red Genesect showed that it still refused to understand, attacking the group with {{m|Techno Blast}}. Mewtwo changed into its Mega Evolution and easily stopped the attack. Then, realizing that it had only one choice to make, it took the Red Genesect, and sped up to the edge of space with it, showing it the entire planet. Mewtwo explained that everyone created to this world has a purpose, and that everyone in the world were each others' friends, even them. Seeing the Red Genesect's anger finally disappearing, Mewtwo decided that it was time for them to return back home. However, the stress of the lift had been too much for them, causing Mewtwo and the Red Genesect to pass out during the fall. Thankfully, Ash was able to come up with an idea of several {{t|Psychic}}- and {{type|Water}} Pokémon forming a giant ball of water to soften their landing. Afterwards, when the Genesect had been brought to a nature preserve where they could live in peace, Mewtwo thanked Ash and his friends for finding the Genesect a home. It agreed to Ash's statement of them being friends forever, saying that it would trust in his words forevermore. After this, it changed into its Mega Evolution once more, and flew away.

Mewtwo was last seen arriving in a large city at night and landing on top of a tall building.

==Personality and characteristics==
[[File:Mewtwo and Red Genesect.png|thumb|250px|right|Mewtwo with Red Genesect]]
Though it shares some aspects of its personality with the previous Mewtwo seen in the anime, this Mewtwo differs in a number of key ways. It is far less harsh in its hatred of humans, instead merely distrusting them and wishing to be left alone by them. It also merely asked Virgil, Anna, and Oscar to forget they met it as opposed to wiping their memories. This Mewtwo is able to sympathize and identify with others, as when it met the Genesect Army, it insisted that they went along with it to a place where unnatural Pokémon should exist.

However, it is also capable of acts of great power, such as pulling all the water in a lake into the air to douse a forest fire and flying into the atmosphere.

==Blurb==

May and Ash are waiting on line outside a popular bakery when an Arcanine runs past. May wants to catch it, but she sees that Drew is chasing it too! Thanks to Extremespeed, Arcanine easily escapes. May catches up to it while it's eating and sends out Combusken, but Arcanine outruns her Pokémon. So Ash and his friends stop to ask a woodsman about Arcanine, and he points them to locations where it sometimes appears—but he also told Drew the same information about an hour ago.

Meanwhile, Team Rocket has been fired from the bakery for eating the merchandise, and a combination of Wobbuffet and hunger leads them to a Pecha grove. Ash and his friends are waiting in the grove; when Arcanine shows up, they send it towards May and Squirtle. Arcanine uses Roar on Squirtle, and May sends out Munchlax to use Metronome. Metronome gives Munchlax Extremespeed, speed it uses to eat all the Pecha berries. By the time Team Rocket arrives, the trees have been picked clean! They do spot Arcanine, however, and decide to nab it for the boss.

May and Drew again run into each other on a high ledge and see Arcanine run off again. Irate, May challenges Drew to see who gets Arcanine, and Drew's Flygon quickly defeats May's Squirtle. Both Coordinators chase after Arcanine anyway, only to find it feeding Pecha berries to its young Growlithe.

Team Rocket kidnaps Arcanine and the Growlithe, but Drew and May team up to free them and defeat Team Rocket. May and Drew then decide not to break up Arcanine's family, and they let it go on its way. Drew goes on his way too, but not before he tells May to try the Pokémon Contest in Saffron City. Excited, our heroes set their sights on their next destination!

==Plot==
{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} are now heading for the Battle Arena so Ash can earn his second {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}} [[Symbol]]. However, right now they've stopped at a bakery and are standing in a very long line. Ash tells {{an|May}} that the cakes better be worth it, she replies that her guidebook says that they are the best in the area. Suddenly, an {{p|Arcanine}} comes bounding down the road. Ash looks it up in his [[Pokédex]] as it heads straight for them.

The Arcanine leaps over everyone in the crowd; May watches it in amazement. The [[legendary Pokémon]] starts to run off as May says that she wants to catch it. Just then, a voice calls out to Arcanine. Everyone looks to see [[Drew]] and his {{p|Flygon}} chasing it. He orders Flygon to use {{m|Flamethrower}}. Arcanine responds with a {{m|Heat Wave}} attack. Arcanine then uses {{m|ExtremeSpeed}} to get away. Drew gets annoyed that the Arcanine got away.

May wonders why Drew is in Kanto, so he tells her that he's there for the competition like real winners do. She gets mad as he shows her his newest Ribbon, one for the Kanto Grand Festival. Drew says he's going to go and get Arcanine and leaves with his Flygon. The group also leaves, May wanting to catch Arcanine to show Drew that she can.

At the bakery, {{TRT}} watches the [[twerp]]s leaving. The boss, who is the same one from the Hoenn League Championships, tells them to get working or they're fired. Meanwhile, Ash and the others follow {{TP|Brock|Mudkip}} as it searches for Arcanine. Mudkip finds it taking [[Pecha Berries]] and storing them for later. Arcanine starts to leave, so May sends out {{TP|May|Combusken}} to get it. Combusken starts to catch it, but then Arcanine uses ExtremeSpeed and gets away.

Brock suggests asking someone as they come to a woodsman's house. The man continues his chopping as the group approaches. They stop, afraid of the man; Ash walks up to him. Back at the bakery, the line continues to grow and the customers grow unhappy. Jessie decides to take a taste and sticks her finger in the cake. James walks up and takes some for himself. Meowth jumps also and taste some cake.

At the old woodsman's house, the man tells them that he told a boy with a Flygon everything about Arcanine an hour previously. May asks if he'll tell them everything too. At the bakery, Team Rocket observes the cake, with several huge hunks missing. The boss calls for them and tells them to bring him the big wedding cake. Instead of taking it to him, they hide it and he comes out to get it himself. He asks them where it is, so Wobbuffet opens its mouth and reveals the half-eaten cake. All four of them are soon outside without jobs.

The woodsman tells Ash and his friends that the Arcanine never came down from the mountains until recently and that it goes to Pecha Trees and a local spring. Since all Pokémon have to drink sometime, the gang heads to the spring and hides in the bushes nearby. May says that she’ll use {{TP|May|Squirtle}} to battle it, Ash's stomach rumbles. Saying that it must be time for lunch, but May yells that he'll never eat lunch again if he's not quiet.

A few minutes later, everyone is sitting down to lunch. Brock says that he made it with fresh vegetables from the woodsman as a rustle in the bushes gets everyone's attention. They look to see Arcanine drinking some water. It hears them and runs off quickly. As Team Rocket walks through the forest, they complain that they're hungry and that they could've been fired after lunch. Wobbuffet appears with four Pecha Berries in its arms. James thinks that it got one for all of them, but it eats them all. Jessie shakes her Pokémon and tells it to give them the location of the Pecha Trees.

Meanwhile, Ash and friends have stumbled onto the Pecha Trees. Everyone gathers in a circle as Brock draws out a map in the dirt. He points out that the east and west sides of the area are steep cliffs so the Arcanine must've come from north or south. He has May and Max go to the north end while he and Ash go to the south end, thinking they can divert the Arcanine to May if it comes their way. {{TP|Ash|Corphish}}, {{TP|Brock|Mudkip}}, and Squirtle come out of their Poké Balls ready for battle. Arcanine decides to go south and Ash meets up with it first. He orders Corphish to use {{m|BubbleBeam}} and Arcanine runs off. Brock orders a {{m|Water Gun}} from Mudkip and it heads north.

As May gets ready for Arcanine, she discovers that Squirtle is sleeping. She wakes it up and tells it to get ready. It stands at attention as Arcanine runs up. Arcanine uses {{m|Roar}} and Squirtle returns to its Poké Ball. Max suggests that May should use some help from Munchlax's {{m|Metronome}}. Arcanine uses ExtremeSpeed to get away as Munchlax starts waving its hands. Munchlax gets ExtremeSpeed and catches up to Arcanine. May tells it to jump on top, but it runs past and starts gathering Pecha Berries at blinding speeds.

Over in another part of the forest, Team Rocket scales down a mountain, following Wobbuffet's instructions as to where the Pecha Berries are. They safely make it to the bottom to see that all the Berries are gone. Arcanine runs past and {{MTR|Meowth}} comes up with an idea to give it to {{an|Giovanni}} as a pillow to keep him warm at night.

Ash and the others are now trying their last idea, going to the cliffs. They hide behind a rock, with Squirtle out, as Arcanine walks up the path to a ledge. May jumps out with Squirtle and corners Arcanine. But just when she thinks she's got it, Drew jumps in with Flygon. Arcanine jumps past the two and up a cliff. May and Drew argue for a bit until May tells Drew that she wants a battle for who gets Arcanine.

Brock judges the match and tells them to begin. May orders Squirtle to use {{m|Tackle}}, which Flygon dodges by using {{m|Fly}}. Flygon then uses a {{m|Steel Wing}} attack. Squirtle tries to use {{m|Bubble}} to block but Flygon's Steel Wing hits and Squirtle begins to cry again. May picks it up as Drew walks towards the cliff where Arcanine went. Everyone climbs up to see that it's gone. But then they notice it up on a higher ledge. They climb up and see that Arcanine is feeding three {{p|Growlithe}} babies. A net comes flying and grabs the Growlithe. Arcanine leaps onto the net, and gets captured in a second one. Team Rocket rejoices as Drew orders a Steel Wing.

The balloon bursts and lands in a tree. Ash and Brock start to take out their Poké Balls but May stops them and says to let her and Drew take care of it. Flygon uses Steel Wing to break the nets and free the captives. James sends out {{TP|James|Cacnea}} and gets a needle-filled hug, before telling it to attack. Cacnea releases a {{m|Pin Missile}}, but Squirtle blocks with Bubble. Jessie sends in {{TP|Jessie|Dustox}} and orders a {{m|Poison Sting}}. Flygon blocks it with {{m|Flamethrower}}.

James orders Cacnea to use {{m|Sandstorm}}, Flygon blocks Squirtle from getting hit. Squirtle hops onto Flygon as it flies into the air. It jumps off and smashes Dustox in a {{m|Tackle}} while Cacnea gets a Steel Wing from Flygon. May and Drew order Water Gun and Flamethrower respectively and Team Rocket is sent blasting off again. May decides not to capture Arcanine, and Drew also concedes.

As the sun sets into the mountains, Drew tells May that she should enter the Saffron City Pokémon Contest. He tells her that he's going to go and get a new Pokémon to strengthen his team when she asks if he'll be there. As Drew leaves, Max checks the [[PokéNav]] and announces that [[Saffron City]] is close by. Ash says that they'll head for Saffron City first and they head out.

==Blurb==

Ash, Brock, Misty and Pikachu are lost deep in the mountains. As they press forward on a rough road not even shown on their map, they suddenly hear a large explosion. Running toward the sound in surprise, the party emerges on a construction site where tractors are building a tremendous dam. Ash learns that the foreman is trying to recruit skilled Pokémon trainers because earth Pokémon, Diglet, are interfering with construction and delaying the completion of his work. The foreman has been recruiting Pokémon trainers to get rid of the Diglet. He will award free passes for travel to a luxurious natural hot springs to anyone who can accomplish this. As Ash scopes out the recruits, he notices a familiar enemy in the mix, Gary.

==Plot==
{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} travel on a pathway through some mountains, as they figure out how to get to [[Fuchsia City]]. {{an|Brock}} comments that Fuchsia City should be right over the mountain, but realizes that they are surrounded by many mountains. Elsewhere in the forest, {{TRT}} is having a picnic and getting ready to eat their lunch. [[Jessie]] says that she is having Chinese food, [[James]] says that he's just having tea and crumpets, and {{MTR}} says that he will have no food since he is getting a gut, and is working out. An explosion is heard as the screen shakes. Ash, his friends, and Team Rocket all wonder where that explosion came from. Team Rocket's food spilled all over them, as they are very upset that they didn't even get to eat their food. Everyone runs to where the explosion came from, as they see trucks drive by.

A large rock falls from the wall, as holes in the ground send all of the trucks crashing to the ground. Everyone looks shocked as they watch it happen. Team Rocket comments that it's a lot of destruction, but they didn't even cause it. {{AP|Pikachu}} hears Pokémon saying {{p|Diglett}} over and over from underneath the ground. A Diglett pops out of the ground, as Pikachu greets it, and Diglett goes back underground. A construction worker comes out of his truck and says that he can't take it anymore. Ash and his friends go to him, as he tells them to look at the Diglett in the distance. The Diglett are dropping in and out of the ground, as {{an|Misty}} comments that they are very cute. The construction worker yells at Misty, and says that the Diglett are preventing them from building a dam. Ash scans Diglett with his Pokédex which says that people can recognize their movement them from the upturned earth. Ash comments that he doesn't see any upturned earth. The construction worker says that it is because the ground is covered with concrete, but if they look closely they can see the movement. Misty comments that it looks like a mini earthquake. The construction worker says that they may not be able to achieve their dream of building the "Great Giva Dam." An explosion causes a large rock to fall from the wall. Brock asks the construction worker if the blasting is a part of building the dam. The construction worker says that it is a part of building the dam, and that they cannot get supplies through because of the Diglett.

The construction worker explains that they came up with a special division to come up with strategies to get rid of the Diglett. They are looking for any Pokémon Trainer to help them get rid of the Diglett. He is offering a reward of a six night, seven day stay at the skyva hot springs resort for anyone who can get rid of them. Ash tells him that they are able Pokémon Trainers. The construction worker thinks that they were the ones called in, as {{Gary}} arrives with a few trucks behind him and says that the invited Pokémon Trainers have arrived. Gary notices Ash, and says that it must be a coincidence that he is there since only the best Trainers such as himself were invited. Gary calls himself the best Pokémon Trainer and says that Ash is fourth. He says that Ash was the fourth to leave [[Pallet Town]] and is ranked last as a Pokémon Trainer. Gary asks Ash if he has caught any good Pokémon as Ash offers to show him, but Gary says no thanks and that only amateur Pokémon Trainers show off their Pokémon.

Gary says that if he's going to show anything off, it would be his personal fan club. Ash asks if they are Pokémon, as Brock hits him in the head and tells him to not be dumb. Brock asks who the girls are, and Gary explains that they are friends of his. Brock asks the girls if they want to go out with him some time, and they all respond by saying yes sir. Misty comments that Brock is over the hill. Brock asks the girls for phone numbers, addresses, or email addresses, while the construction worker begs for someone to go after the Diglett. Gary and his girls drive off to stop the Diglett. Brock doesn't get their phone numbers, while Ash says that he can't let Gary beat him. Team Rocket comments that they are Pokémon Trainers, and that if they win the stay at the resort, that they would love some rest and relaxation. {{MTR}} makes a phone call and asks if he could be switched to a less embarrassing team, as a loud wind passes them by. A large rock breaks off from the wall of a cliff, as the construction worker addresses the Pokémon Trainers. Ash comments that there are a lot of Trainers, as the construction worker yells to him to listen and not talk. Ash didn't like that he didn't call him by name. He calls himself the loser of Pallet Town, and breaks down. Brock tells him not to get worked up about Gary, and that he can still catch up to him. Jessie says that her name is Jessie, with no one to hear her say it. Team Rocket calculates that there would be a lot of Pokémon that the Trainers have, that they could steal. They realize though that with only {{TP|James|Koffing}} and {{TP|Jessie|Ekans}}, they can't possibly take on all of their Pokemon. They look sad, as they try to figure out how to go after the Trainers' Pokémon. Meowth suggests a sneak attack, but they say that it always fails. They decide to go with plan B, which is the principle of induced evolution.

The construction worker shows a large pull-down sheet that has a no-Diglett picture on it. He calls Diglett a great parasitic {{Type|Bug}} Pokémon, as Gary corrects him by saying that Diglett is called a mole Pokémon, and at eight pounds and two inches tall, it cannot be called a great anything. Ash calls Gary a show off that thinks he knows everything. The construction worker says that they may be small, but in large numbers can be very destructive. He sees the Diglett coming, as they take down a truck. Gary steps forward and says for everyone to watch the top Pokémon Trainer at work. His [[Gary's cheerleaders|cheerleaders]] say that he doesn't dig the Diglett, as he throws his Poké Ball to bring out a Pokémon to battle Diglett. The Pokémon refuses to come out of its Poké Ball as the Diglett brings the Poké Ball back to Gary. Gary thanks the Diglett, but realizes that it wasn't supposed to happen that way. Gary throws another Poké Ball which contains his strongest Pokémon. The Pokémon does not come out of its Poké Ball, as Gary throws all of his Poké Balls, as the construction worker begs for someone to get rid of the Diglett. Everyone else throws all of their Poké Balls, but all of the Diglett give them back to their Trainers. Misty comments that at least the Diglett are polite, as Brock adds that they are also unstoppable.

Ash says that since they are underground, that he will use his {{AP|Squirtle}} to face the Diglett. Pikachu tries to stop Ash, but he had already thrown the Poké Ball. Squirtle also refuses to come out of its Poké Ball. Gary says that none of the Pokémon will come out, and that for some reason they do not want to battle the Diglett. Ash asks Pikachu if that is what's going on, and Pikachu nods a yes answer. The construction worker tries to hit the Diglett with a hammer, but Gary says it won't work since the Diglett may not be super strong, but that are really fast. Ash says that Gary must have really been studying, as Gary replies that he has, unlike Ash. Gary says that since none of the Pokémon want to battle, there is no reason for them to stay unless they want to see the construction worker continue to try to hit the Diglett with a hammer. Gary says that he needs to continue on his journey to become a Pokémon Master, and drives away in the car. Ash says that he doesn't like him. Brock never was able to get the girls' phone numbers.

That night, Ash and his friends are taking a bath in some hot water outside, as Ash likes it. Misty says that she can't understand why the Pokémon wouldn't come out of their Poké Balls. Ash asks Pikachu why that is, and Pikachu points to where the Diglett are as they follow the Diglett. While they are following the Diglett, they pass by the construction worker who keeps trying to hit the Diglett with a hammer. Meanwhile, Team Rocket is reading about how to evolve their Pokémon, and find out that Pokémon must have a lot of experience before they can evolve. They say that Pokémon change when they evolve, and that they've known both Koffing and Ekans for a long time. They ask how can they evolve them as they hug the Pokémon. As Team Rocket hugs their Pokémon and cry, their tears touch both Pokémon as they turn white and begin to evolve. Meowth comments that their time to evolve is now. Ash and his friends continue to follow the Diglett that are bringing small trees to a mountain range just for Diglett and {{p|Dugtrio}}.

Ash and his friends look on as they see Dugtrio dig around, and Diglett planting the trees. Ash scans Dugtrio with his Pokédex. Brock comments that it must be Diglett and Dugtrio's home. He explains that they play and work together on that mountain range, with Dugtrio plowing through the ground, and Diglett planting the trees. He also explains that the whole mountain range was built by them, and that maybe more gardens, forests, and mountain ranges across the world were also built by Diglett and Dugtrio. The construction worker comments that if they finish the dam, then the whole mountain range would get flooded and no Pokémon would be able to live there. They realize that the Pokémon figured that out before they did, and that's why they wouldn't come out of their Poké Balls. Brock comments that they have a lot to learn about the ways of the Pokémon. The construction worker decides that they will stop their work on the dam, as Diglett and Dugtrio continue working in the garden.

Team Rocket shows up and does their motto as Meowth interrupts them by saying that they know the rest. Ash tells them that they are not in the mood to deal with them today. Jessie says that they are in a good enough mood to share with them a special treat. As they wear Japanese outfits, hold fans, and fireworks above, they begin to introduce their new Pokémon. Jessie introduces her new Pokémon, as her Ekans has evolved into {{p|Arbok}}. James introduces his new Pokémon, as his Koffing has evolved into {{p|Weezing}}. Music plays in the back ground, and fireworks go off, as Team Rocket prepares to attack. Ash brings out Squirtle, {{AP|Charmander}}, and {{AP|Bulbasaur}} to attack them. Weezing attacks with {{m|Smog}}, and Pikachu uses {{m|Thunderbolt}} but Arbok dodges the attack. Arbok digs underground, while Weezing follows it. Diglett and Dugtrio say there name a few times, with Team Rocket saying it once. Underground the Diglett and Dugtrio are beating up Arbok and Weezing, as they come out of the ground with bumps and are knocked out. Diglett and Dugtrio pop out of the ground, and form a tall group of them with mud. Team Rocket looks scared, as the group comes toward them. Team Rocket and their Pokémon ride on top of the Diglett and Dugtrio group and act as if they are surfing. Team Rocket sees the dam up ahead, and crash into it and hit the ground hard.

Ash and Misty comment that Team Rocket never do learn their lesson or catch a break. The construction worker comments that he definitely learned his lesson. Ash comments that their stay wasn't a waste after all. Brock says that they are in luck, that Fuchsia City is just over the mountains. Team Rocket comes out of the ground, as a sign falls on their head. They read that the sign says that the dam project is cancelled and they are disappointed by that. Ash and his friends head off towards Fuchsia City.

==Trivia==
* This is [[Nathan Price]]'s last episode as {{MTR}}.
* Apparently, a Pokémon can choose whether or not to come out of their [[Poké Ball]], as demonstrated by {{TP|Misty|Psyduck}}, and later, {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}}, {{TP|May|Skitty}}, {{TP|Brock|Croagunk}}, and {{TP|Ash|Oshawott}}. However, this is the only instance where the Pokémon refuses to exit its Poké Ball, as opposed to sending itself out whenever it feels like it.
* This is the [[EP019|second episode]] where a character is trying to build something that would destroy the area around them, and the Pokémon that interfere with it to save their area are targeted by the character to be exterminated. Unlike [[Nastina]], however, the construction worker realizes why the Pokémon are interfering, and cancels the project.
* Team Rocket [[breaking the fourth wall|break the fourth wall]] once again, when they first reveal their evolved Pokémon to Ash and friends. They mentioned that their Arbok and Weezing are being shown "[[List of Pokémon by anime debut|for the first time on TV]]".
* This is the first time when two of main characters' Pokémon evolve simultaneously. This wouldn't happen again until ''[[AG024|A Corphish Out of Water]]''.
** Coincidentally, in both instances, one of the Pokémon involved belonged to Jessie.
* Jessie and James mention [[experience]] points in this episode.
* In the dub, when all of the Trainers are attempting to send out their Pokémon, one of the Trainers can be heard trying to send out a {{p|Porygon}}.
* In the dub, the Dam is referred to as the "Gaiva Dam", likely a play on the phrase "Give a damn".

===Errors===
* In the dub, Brock points out that Diglett plow the ground and that Dugtrio plant the trees, but the clips actually show Dugtrio plowing the ground and the Diglett planting trees.
* When [[James's Weezing]]'s second head opened its mouth for the first time, it temporarily had the two upper square teeth the main head has. This was removed in subsequent appearances.
* After the hot spring, where Ash, Misty and Brock were bathing in, was emptied by the Diglett, the Pokémon are heard saying their Japanese name, Digda, instead of Diglett.
* The construction worker says "Digletts," when "Diglett" is both singular and plural.

===Dub edits===
* When Jessie and James set up their picnic in the dub, Jessie says she is having Chinese food when she is really having {{wp|Japanese curry}}, and James says he'll have tea and crumpets, pouring the tea into a bowl containing his supposed crumpets, when he's actually having {{wp|ochazuke}}.
* In the Japanese version, when witnessing the explosions, James speculates that the trucks and explosions related to treasure hunter TV shows or Ultra Squadrons, which is changed to an alien invasion in the English version.
* The {{wp|kanji}} for the hot spring advertisement was removed.
* Also, the sign that translated to "The Pokémon Trainer Party" also had the text removed.
* In the scene where Gary decides to make his grand slam, he originally stated that "it isn't like baseball, where being fourth batter is the best." Also, Misty and Brock's reaction in the original was of agreement, while as the dub had them calling Gary detestable. This was presumably done because ''[[EP018|Beauty and the Beach]]'', their first encounter was still banned by the time this episode aired.
* The impact star was replaced when Brock hits Ash for wondering if Gary's cheerleaders are Pokémon.
* Gary's cheerleaders referred to Brock as an "old man" in the Japanese version instead of "Sir", as in the dub.
** In the dub, Brock makes the accusation that he is thought of as an old man.
* Most lines relating to numbers or the number 4 were rewritten.
* Brock originally wonders if it is alright to be wearing swimsuits in a hot spring.
* When they figured out that the Pokémon did not want to fight the Diglett, thus explaining why they won't obey their Trainers in leaving the balls; Misty referred to them as masters in the dub.

'''Diglett''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ディグダ''' ''Digda'') is a {{type|Ground}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Dugtrio}} starting at [[level]] 26.

==Biology==
Diglett is a tiny, brown Pokémon that seems to be perpetually buried within the earth, leaving only its head visible. It has beady black eyes and a large, round, pink nose. A Diglett in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]] mentions that it has feet, though their size and appearance are unknown. It spends much of its time underground, and has very thin skin. If Diglett is exposed to sunlight, its blood will heat up and cause it to grow weak.

Diglett digs regularly through the earth at a shallow depth, leaving perfectly tilled soil in its wake. Diglett lives in tunnels and {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Cave Pokémon|caves}} under the earth, where it feeds on tree roots. It also sometimes lives in burrows near forests, and has even [[PK04|been shown]] to live inside of trees.

==In the anime==

===Major appearances===
Diglett first appeared in ''[[EP031|Dig Those Diglett!]]''. They were causing trouble for a construction crew that was planning on building a dam. The foreman insisted that the Diglett were to be exterminated, but the Pokémon of the Trainers that happened to be in the area refused to fight them. The reason was that the Diglett and {{p|Dugtrio}} were helping to plant trees in the forest.

Diglett were also used by a man named {{Oi|Poncho}} in ''[[EP114|The Underground Round-Up]]''. He used them to dig tunnels underground of a town that was infested with {{p|Electrode}}. The tunnels sent the Electrode to an open field where they'd live in peace. Poncho also had a Diglett inside his hat.

==Trivia==
[[File:Diggletsfeet.gif|right|thumb|Diglett mentioning having feet in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon|220px]]
* In the [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|Pokémon Red and Blue beta]], Diglett was originally to use its Japanese name, "Digda", as its English name. This name was retained in the German localization of the games.
* Diglett has the second lowest base HP of any Pokémon, after {{p|Shedinja}}.
** It also has the lowest base Defense of any {{type|Ground}} Pokémon.
* Diglett and its evolution can learn {{m|Scratch}}, {{m|Slash}}, {{m|Shadow Claw}}, and {{m|Aerial Ace}} despite not seeming to have hands or claws.
** Diglett is also able to learn {{m|Fury Swipes}}, but only in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s|FireRed and LeafGreen}}.
* In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]], after the first [[Mt. Steel]] mission, Diglett mentions having feet. It is mentioned again as being one of the seven mysteries of Pokémon in a letter, alongside {{p|Arbok}}'s pattern changes and the inside of {{p|Forretress}}'s shell.
* Diglett and its evolved form share the same [[species]] name with {{p|Drilbur}}. They are all known as the Mole Pokémon.
* Diglett, despite being one of the smallest and lightest Pokémon, has the ability to mate with {{p|Wailord}}, the Pokémon with the greatest height, which is comparable to [[HSOWA]].
* In the [[Pokéathlon]] Hurdle Dash, Diglett and Dugtrio are seen to go underground rather than physically jump out of the ground.
* In [[Generation V]], when Diglett and Dugtrio are sent out, they merely fade onto the screen instead of dropping down like all other Pokémon.
* In the [[Poké Transfer]], Diglett and Dugtrio run between bushes rather than jump.

* In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, if Diglett is the {{player}}'s [[Walking Pokémon|partner Pokémon]], and the player goes to the [[Pokémon Center]], Diglett jumps to its [[Poké Ball]] to be healed.

===Origin===
Diglett appears to be very similar to the artificial moles used in {{wp|Whac-A-Mole}} arcade games, as referenced by its full health phrase in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]]. There is also some similarity to worms.

====Name origin====
Diglett is a combination of ''dig'' and ''singlet''.

Digda refers to the word ''dig''.

Pokémon-Amie

2013-11-20T03:19:29Z

Bioness: /* Interaction */ minor spelling fix

[[File:Pokémon-Amie artwork.png|thumb|Pokémon-Amie artwork]]
'''Pokémon-Amie''' (Japanese: '''ポケパルレ''' ''Poké Parler'') is a feature in [[Pokémon X and Y]] that allows the {{player}} to develop stronger bonds with their {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. It uses the touch screen to allow players to pet, feed, and play with Pokémon currently on their team. Players may interact with their Pokémon by petting or feeding them via the touchscreen or mimicking their movements using the camera. There are three new options to choose from for the player: play, hunger, and friendliness, and there is a display screen showing the options. Large Pokémon, like {{p|Tyranitar}} and {{p|Snorlax}}, take up both screens of the [[Nintendo 3DS|3DS]].

Playing with a Pokémon increases its affection towards the player and allows it to {{stat|evasion|avoid attacks}} and land [[critical hit]]s more often. Affection is separate from [[friendship]].

==Poké Puffs==
Poké Puffs are small cake-like confections that can be fed to Pokémon to increase their Affection. Standard Poké Puffs are obtained by beating mini-games. They come in the following flavors, which are purely aesthetic:

*'''Citrus''': Orange, with an orange slice topping at higher levels.
*'''Mocha''': Brown and light brown, with a white chocolate topping at Fancy level and Chocolate at Deluxe.
*'''Spice''': Brown, with a chocolate topping at higher levels.
*'''Mint''': Green, with a cinnamon stick topping at higher levels.
*'''Sweet''': Pink, with a cherry topping at higher levels.

Each of these flavors comes in the following levels, which improve the Affection boost:

*'''Basic''': Plain; gives 2 hearts.
*'''Frosted''': Frosted; gives 3 hearts.
*'''Fancy''': Plain with a topping; gives 4 hearts.
*'''Deluxe''': Frosted with a topping; gives 5 hearts.

Poké Puffs also come in a rare fifth variant, '''Supreme''', which gives 5 hearts and has different flavors that can be obtained in different ways:

*'''Spring''': Resembles Sweet, with sakura flower decorations; obtained with a score of 5 stars on any Unlimited mini-game.
*'''Summer''': Resembles Mint, with an orange slice and various coloured circular sprinkles; obtained with a score of 5 stars on Unlimited Head It.
*'''Fall''': Resembles Citrus, with maple leaf and acorn decorations; obtained with a score of 5 stars on Unlimited Berry Picker.
*'''Winter''': Resembles Spice, with white frosting, a chocolate topping, and a snowman decoration; obtained with a score of 5 stars on Unlimited Tile Puzzle.
*'''Honor''': Resembles Mocha, with star and Poké Ball decorations; obtained from visiting Pokémon after beating the Elite Four.
*'''Wish''': Resembles a birthday cake; obtained from visiting Pokémon on the player's birthday.

==Interaction==
Interacting with Pokémon in Pokémon-Amie is performed in many different ways. Rubbing the Pokémon in the touch screen allows the player to pet their Pokémon. There will be certain areas which Pokémon will like being rubbed on, and other areas that will anger them. Pokémon can be fed Poké Puffs, which often makes them happy, which raises the fullness meter. More Poké Puffs are obtained by playing three games entitled [[Berry Picker]], [[Head It]], and [[Tile Puzzle]].

The player can also make facial expressions to make them happy, which is triggered by holding the 3DS a foot from the player's face and by making faces or tilting the player's head from side to side, the latter of which the Pokémon will mimic. The Pokémon then will request the player to match their facial expressions. If fulfilled, the Pokémon's enjoyment rises.

If the player holds the stylus in one place for long enough, some Pokémon, such as the [[Eeveelutions]], {{p|Pikachu}}, and {{p|Lucario}} will attempt to "high-five" them. If their hand/paw comes in contact with the cursor, their enjoyment will rise.

Some Pokémon cause effects, both negative and positive, usually reflecting the Pokémon itself. Negative ones usually freeze the cursor and make Pokémon less happy, others are only aesthetic, and are treated like normal rubbing.
*'''Freezing''': The cursor becomes blue with a freezing sound, and stays still for a moment.'' (Example: Touching the spike of a {{p|Bergmite}}.)''
*'''Burning''': The cursor becomes red, with a sizzling sound effect, and stays still.'' (Example: Touching a {{p|Slugma}}.)''
*'''Paralyzing''': The cursor turns yellow with an electric sound, and stays still.'' (Example: Touching the cheeks of a {{p|Pikachu}}.)''
*'''Cutting''': The cursor becomes covered in bandages with a steel slicing sound effect, and stays still. ''(Example: Touching the blade on a {{p|Pawniard}}'s head.)''
*'''Gooey''': The cursor turns slightly blue, slows down, and has a higher pitch than normal rubbing. ''(Example: Rubbing a {{p|Ditto}}.)''
*'''Haunted''': Purely aesthetic, it turns the cursor more transparent. ''(Example: Touching the hair of a {{p|Gourgeist}}.)''
*'''Slimy''': The cursor becomes significantly slower and looks like it's covered in sludge, making a wet sort of noise.'' (Example: Touching a {{p|Garbodor}}.)''

==Benefits==
Playing with Pokémon in Pokémon-Amie raises its Affection towards its Trainer. The chosen Pokémon's level of Affection is displayed onscreen by the number of hearts present. This level can range from no hearts at all to a full five hearts. The benefits gained are based on the level of affection, where few hearts grant no real bonus, but a full heart meter grants a wide range of benefits.
Of these benefits are:

* Elevated chance of [[critical hit]]s
* Elevated chance of {{stat|evasion|avoiding attacks}}
* Extra [[Experience]] gain
* Shaking off [[status condition]]s
* Attacks doing extra damage
* Enduring attacks that could otherwise make it [[Fainting|faint]] and surviving with 1 HP

All of these effects are accompanied by a notification in battle. If the Pokémon [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolves]], these effects are negated until the end of the battle.

Pokémon-Amie is also required to evolve {{p|Eevee}} into {{p|Sylveon}}, as Eevee evolves into Sylveon when it levels up with a {{type|Fairy}} move and two Affection hearts.

===Affection effects===
{{incomplete|section|needs=More dialogues and more changes}}
Affection affects several mechanics in the game. Battle dialogues change depending on affection, and the Pokémon has a special animation at the start of the battle that represents affection. In Pokémon-Amie, when the player plays and feeds their Pokémon, its Affection increases. When this happens, the Pokémon shows multiple hearts along with sparkles and cries.
*Advancing from affection 0 to 1 has no sign. The only way to find out is to check the Affection tab on the Pokémon-Amie bottom screen.
*Advancing from affection 1 to 2 shows sparkles and multiple hearts along with the Pokémon's [[cry]] 3 times.
*Advancing from affection 2 to 3 shows sparkles and multiple hearts along with the Pokémon's cry 3 times.
*Advancing from affection 3 to 4 makes the Pokémon jump twice in its place, show multiple hearts, sparkle, and make its cry 2 times.
*Advancing from affection 4 to 5 makes the Pokémon jump three times in its place, show multiple hearts, sparkle, and make its cry 3 times. This must happen twice in order to advance from 4 to 5.
At around 50 mini hearts, the Pokémon performs one of the actions above based on affection level; this explains why advancing from 4 to 5 makes it perform the action twice.

|} 

*Affection level 4 is almost identical to Affection level 5, the only difference is the bonuses given and that they are more likely to occur at level 5.
*When defeating another Pokémon with a super-effective move, the Trainer says "That's it! I knew you could do it". (Affection level 3 minimum)
*Petting a Pokémon after knocking out another Pokémon (or 1/5 during in a [[Horde Encounter]]) requires an affection level of 4 minimum. To pet the Pokémon, one must be touching the bottom screen at the moment the opponent's fainting animation finishes.
**The mini hearts obtained from petting a Pokémon do not count towards raising its affection level.
*When switching out a Pokémon with Affection level 3 or higher, the trainer will say "Come on back, <Pokémon>! You did great out there!".

Note: Each affection level starting from "2" has at least two dialogues.

==Name origin==
Pokémon-Amie is a play on ''Pokémon'' and the French phrase ''mon amie'' (meaning "my friend").

Poké Parler is a combination of ''Poké'' and the French word ''parler'' (meaning "to speak").

Any word on [[User:Abcboy/sandbox/NewBerry|it]]? I'll probably need to work it back into a template though... --[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 06:25, 5 January 2013 (UTC)
:I haven't gotten it approved (or tried to), no. Making the templates would be a good idea though. Maybe use {{template|berries color}} rather than the blue that's already there though? --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 11:44, 5 January 2013 (UTC)
::I've changed all but the Berry locations template to use the Berry colors.

:::Something else: should we have {{red link|Sevii Isle 1}} redirect to [[Kindle Road]] or is that too much of a stretch?

::::Go ahead and put all the templates on their own pages; unfortunately only the Editorial Board can authorize userspace policy exclusions, so I suggest you ask one of them. Once you've given the templates their own subpages, fix up the Pecha Berry example you made; it's hard for people to really judge it if you haven't got it set up completely. As for Sevii Isle redirects, I doubt anyone would be searching using them so I don't think they're necessary. I don't like the number of things the List of routes in the Pokémon world includes anyway, but I suppose reflecting the internal ordering would be a good idea. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 06:13, 7 January 2013 (UTC)

== B button glitch removal ==

I'd like to know your rationale for removing three B-button related glitches from the [[List of glitches in Generation V]] page. All three alter the behavior of the NPCs in some way or another that is not listed or mentioned in the games in any way by anybody. [[User:Chicobo329|Chicobo329]] ([[User talk:Chicobo329|talk]]) 11:18, 7 January 2013 (UTC)
:Replied on the talk page. I had intended to anyway, but I was going to wait until I had done further cleanup of the page. However, I may have ended up forgetting, so thanks for reminding me. Anyway, I may have been a bit too stern in my edit summary; I know that there had been a debate about it, and it had been removed and readded before (well, a while ago), so I was trying to ensure there was not an edit war. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 16:09, 7 January 2013 (UTC)

I was wondering about adding a personality section to Zinzolin's page. There is certainly enough to work with there, but I noticed many villians do not have this section.

Yesterday when I was with my friend to whom I've been helping with the Dream Radar stuff, I've had six Items, Six Regular Pokémon, Landorus, and all Five Generation IV legendaries and only the Items and all 6 legendaries went during the first data transfer, so I don't know if more legendaries can be sent. -[[User:Tyler53841|Tyler53841]] ([[User talk:Tyler53841|talk]]) 14:11, 12 January 2013 (UTC)

::But in other news I do know that the amount of Dream Orbs collected is what opens the other extensions and with each member of the Kami Trio a lot more is needed for their extensions which will be difficult to pin down correctly. I mean I made two runs during the late night the previous night and I barely got things ready when I went to go meet my friend even with the amount of Dream Clouds I have. If you want you could mention the waiting time for the Dream Clouds since it starts at 45 minutes max, for all clouds to be ready with 4, 25 minute upgrades that increases it up to 145 minutes or 2 hrs. 25 min. I'll take care of the final beam upgrade coloring when I get to it, right now I am over 500 Dream Orbs. -[[User:Tyler53841|Tyler53841]] ([[User talk:Tyler53841|talk]]) 14:23, 12 January 2013 (UTC)

This just in. If you use five play coins from the 3DS, then it can be used to instantly regenerate all of the remaining Dream Clouds that still need to regenerate.

1)As I mentioned earlier, it might be good idea to update the pages for some species not from Unova (the changed exp yield, as currently pages have the Gen IV yield as far as I know, while the EV yield list has Gen V yield)

2)[[Lum Berry]] - Not sure if to delete these wild, because none of these Pokémon are legitimately found within a game (with [[Faraway Island|one exception]], which can be left out as {{tt|it's legit|Redundant Department of Redundancy much?}}). It says "This is in the data. Don't take it out.", but do we list these impossible things (eg. Kingdra for Generation III and IV games) on species' pages?

Looks like 173penguin, who happens to be new at the website... well, I think you remember the story, as recently you undid many prejudicial edits by him to the Missingno. page. But he didn't understand, so did the same thing again, with a much bigger number of edits (now I've told him on his talk page that he shouldn't do that kind of edits), and now the whole top of the history page (except for a failed attempt of putting an end to that) is covered by less-than-begginer edits. Well, I don't want to manualy undo each edit (would clog up and... you know, probably skip at least one... whatever-it wouldn't be nice), so could you please, as a staff member, revert again to the last edit before all of that and put a quick end to this nightmare?

Two missing [[Ability|Abilities]] are quite disturbing me at the momement: {{FB|Arena Tycoon|Greta}}'s {{p|Heracross}}'s Ability, ''plus'' the Ability of the wild {{p|Electrode}} that can be encountered at the Battle Pike. I ''almost'' saw Heracross's Ability in one video when a Trainer sent out {{p|Gardevoir}}, but obviously it didn't have {{a|Trace}}, so too bad. I ''think'' it could be {{a|Swarm}}, since I don't notice any kind of attack boost during status conditions, but I can't be sure if I've missed something. Do you know some person, possibly in Bulbapedia, who could know enough about this, or at least offer some clues, have an access to the Emerald version, or at least ''something?'' Thank you.

I don't personally know anyone who could do this, but all it needs is someone with a cheating device to go into the Battle Frontier and force catch them. The Electrode however I had always assumed would just have a random Ability due to being a wild Pokémon. Greta... it's fairly hard to test that without something like Transform, Trace or Skill Swap unless you're cheating.

== Redone GB Sounds article ==

Do you [[User:SatoMew2/GB Sounds|like it]]? Your template needs some improvements, though. The Dream World artwork should be an optional parameter and there must be a way to specify that an item is only available in a given generation. [[User:SatoMew2|Sato]][[User talk:SatoMew2|Mew]] 17:08, 16 March 2013 (UTC)
:Also, I tried performing the {{DL|List of glitches in Generation IV|GB Sounds glitch}} on my European English HeartGold and it seems to be fixed.

[[User:SatoMew2|Sato]][[User talk:SatoMew2|Mew]] 00:51, 17 March 2013 (UTC)
::Overall I like your page; I hadn't really planned for it to be used on pages without artwork (most items have DW art, key items in Gen V have [[a:Category:Key item obtain sprites|key item obtain sprites]], and most other key items at least have some form of artwork like the Old Sea Chart). I've set up the template to include an exception for items with no art, but it doesn't look as nice anymore.
::I have done the glitch before in my Australian version (which is probably the same as the European one), and just tried it then and it worked. I had ''a lot'' of trouble figuring out how to get it to work originally (see [[User talk:TheOriginalOne#GB Sounds glitch]], and that's not the only conversation we had about it), but it does occur.

:::I understand your concern about the template kinda losing its charm but it doesn't look that bad either, in my opinion. Now all you need to add is a parameter to specify that the item is only available/present in a single generation. In the case of the GB Sounds, this would instead read "Only in Generation IV" as opposed to "Introduced in Generation IV" (disregarding the fact that it is present in the internal data of the Generation V games, of course).
:::I don't have the GB Sounds registered so I always called it from the Bag when attempting to perform the glitch. I also made sure no wild Pokémon encounters took place and the glitch still didn't work. Maybe it has to do with the tiles you Surf on between Route 20 and Cinnabar Island, since I always kept at least one tile from the border between the locations.

::::(Funny, I found a conversation that is somehow a repetition of what happened between me and SnorlaxMonster more than one year ago) Well, are you SURE you did turn on the GBS while SURFING at one of the locations, and off while STILL SURFING in THE OTHER ONE? Or are you even sure you didn't have in turned on in Cinnabar and Route 20 before trying to do this and since you had flown there for the last time?

The European versions were the last ones. Or did you want to test the korean version? (it's older anyway) There are many glitches that are much more easily noticed than this one and that are not corrected tough. My discovery was just luck (a glitch that was just discovered 2 years after the game first came out), and this glitch isn't particularly important anyway. There are a lot of glitches registered in bulbapedia. Do you think we individually test each of them on all the versions of the same game, including the korean one, which is normally the last to come out?

:I didn't imply any of that.

== Pokémon Mobile System GB stuff ==

===Compatible software===
We should make a table of compatible Mobile System GB software (not the Pokémon version, that is) but I'm not sure how exactly.

===PokéCom Center-related===
====GS Ball event====
The reason why I put the incomplete notification on the section for the events held by the PokéCom Center is because I'm not sure of the following:
* The true name of the minigame known as "Chieko Dice" as I don't see it being called that way (see below);
* The so-called "ten card quiz" may be incorrect as I see the quiz involving 5 questions for the April 2001 event and 8 for the May 2001 event, as described [http://www.geocities.co.jp/Playtown-Darts/9915/serebi.htm here] and [http://www.geocities.co.jp/Playtown-Darts/9915/serebi5.htm here], respectively.
Those links also refer to the minigame as 「チエコ」に{{jwp|サイコロ}}, with サイコロ being the Japanese term for the {{wp|dice}} game. It also mentions that チエコ ''Chieko'' is from Azalea Town.

To put it simply, we do know there was a minigame involving dice and that there were quizzes but we're not sure on the minigame's name and the actual amount of questions in the quiz or quizzes.

====Trade Corner info====
It probably needs expansion based on this unused English text (taken from the text dump I have—it's probably missing internal placeholder strings; I also adapted the text and replaced the caps with the <nowiki><sc></nowiki> tag):

<blockquote>Hello! Welcome to <sc>Pok</sc>é<sc>Com Center Trade Corner</sc>. You can trade <sc>Pok</sc>é<sc>mon</sc> with other people far away.

==Naming conventions for glitch pokémon sprites==
Recently I've been very confused about this. I read what was stipulated [[Bulbapedia:Project GlitchDex#Glitch Pokémon sprites|here]], and immediately noticed that it wasn't being followed on most images. There were many different models on those uploads - how I wish autoconfirmed users could move pages on the archives just like in bulbapedia... WAIT! Before you start doing anything, let me tell you why am I really concerned on this matter, which is the defect of the current convention: what about pokémon with more than one front/back sprite? Maybe putting a "2" at the end of one, but... what about Missingno.? Its sprite depends on the hexadecimal! In addition, there are a few glitch pokémon that share the same dex number... on the same game! And a possible other defect: are there any glitch pokémon that can either be shiny or not?

So, would you agree with, before a mass move of pages, changing the convention to "[game]Glitch[hex][_b][_2].png"? [[User:TheOriginalOne|'''The''']][[User talk:TheOriginalOne|'''Original''']][[Special:Contributions/TheOriginalOne|'''One''']] 23:52, 19 March 2013 (UTC)
:Yeah, I came up with that as a convention for the files to be moved to and to use when uploading new ones; I haven't had time to move them all to the new convention (and generally leave menial tasks like that to other people). Apart from Missingno., glitch Pokémon in the Generation I and II games should only have one front and one back sprite. The standard is how they appear in battle; other sprites just aren't used. I don't think the _2 convention is necessary. Missingno.'s extra sprites are taken from other parts of the game (Fossil sprites and the ghost sprite) and follow those naming conventions rather than the glitch ones. Also, Missingno.'s other forms don't have a static Pokédex number; they copy what the Pokémon loaded had. As for its forms in Yellow... they should have different Pokédex entries. I really wish I had a Gen I game so I could accurately evaluate these kind of things, but unfortunately I don't. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 11:58, 13 April 2013 (UTC)

== Nintendo Space World '97 flyer ==

[[File:Mew NSW97 flyer.jpg|thumb|right|The flyer]]
I found this old flyer for Nintendo Space World '97 on an archived 2ch thread, I believe. Then reverse-searched the image to find a copy in better resolution and quality. It seems to be announcing the Mew event at NSW '97 but I'm not sure. And I don't know where this could be used so I'm asking you to take a look at it, if you don't mind. [[User:SatoMew2|Sato]][[User talk:SatoMew2|Mew]] 22:24, 20 March 2013 (UTC)
:Me and SnorlaxMonster worked together to do the event page revamp, and events are a specialty of mine so I should be able to help a little. Based on the Space World '97 text from the [http://www.nintendo.co.jp/n12/index.html official site], it is defiantly a poster detailing the Nintendo Space World '97 Mew. Also the poster does say that at most 10,000 people will receive Mew. However most text is still very small for translation, but the bottom appears to be describing the postcard submission process. It should be noted there appears to be a discrepancy in dates though, the offical site says November 22 to 24, 1997 while the poster appears to say November 22 to 23, 1997. As for the location of the poster, I would say somewhere on [[List of Japanese event Pokémon distributions in Generation I|this page]] but I can't say where for certain. '''[[User:Lady Ariel|Lady]] [[User talk:Lady Ariel|Ariel]]''' 00:14, 21 March 2013 (UTC)
::If the dates are inconsistent, it should be mentioned. Also, just a small correction: the referred number is 100,000 instead of 10,000 because １０万 is '''10×10,000''' or '''104''' ({{tt|万|まん}} means ''ten thousand''). It's the same situation with the Japanese name of {{m|Thunderbolt}}. [[User:SatoMew2|Sato]][[User talk:SatoMew2|Mew]] 14:41, 21 March 2013 (UTC)

This template has sections for all generations I-V, but a split might be better for it. I'm thinking that the template should be split into two, one being Gen. I and II, the other being Gen. III-V.

== New glitch ==

Friend,
I believe that I have discovered a glitch in Generation I that is not yet noted on the glitch article. It is as minor as it could be, but nonetheless I think it deserves attention. Please get back to me. [[User:Erythro|Erythro]] ([[User talk:Erythro|talk]]) 16:38, 31 May 2013 (UTC)

::Certainly; thank you. When one mounts the Bicycle in Victory Road, the Bicycle music, of course, plays, supplanting the ordinary Victory Road music. I have found that if one falls through a hole in Victory Road, the Bicycle music will continue to play on the lower level, even though the player is no longer riding a Bicycle. The bike theme stops once the player enters and leaves a battle, and the normal cave music resumes. It is more of a quirk than a glitch, but I have never before seen it mentioned and thought you might like to know. [[User:Erythro|Erythro]] ([[User talk:Erythro|talk]]) 16:50, 31 May 2013 (UTC)

== Question regarding merchandise articles and pertinence ==

During my random paging, I had come across numerous merchandise articles, ranging from gashapon figures, to trading figures, to a few licensed toys. After a very quick search and look in the [[:Category:Figures|figures]] category, I noticed that there were no indications of the Bandai D-arts figure line. I happen to own one of the figures (Mewtwo) and would like to possibly create an article regarding that figure line, provided with proper sources and press releases, which I can acquire elsewhere.

That said, is there a specific protocol to merchandise articles? Would such an article be necessary? The D-arts line is relatively new, as the first figure (Mewtwo) was released in March, after an announcement in October. Blastoise and Charizard were also announced for the line. So, if you could enlighten me on the proper protocol for merchandise articles, it would be appreciated. Thanks. [[User:Trak Nar|Trak Nar]] ([[User talk:Trak Nar|talk]]) 09:42, 1 June 2013 (UTC)
:Basically, if it's officially licensed and produced in a reasonable quantity, then it would qualify for an article. The thing is that in most cases merchandise isn't widely promoted, and it isn't usually something people go out of their way to write articles for.
:As for how to format the article, I can't exactly describe it, but what I usually do is find an article on a similar topic and format the new article like that one (although often I then decide I want things a different way and edit the first article as well). --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 10:04, 1 June 2013 (UTC)
::Though I was able to import my figure through Big Bad Toystore, and others had used similar importers, as far as I know, the line was intended to be distributed primarily in Japan. However, a contact of mine did mention that an import store that he frequents had stocked the figures, so there is a level of overseas distribution. As far as I know, it is due to a licensing deal with Bluefin, which I assume handles the imports. I will need to double-check that.
::These figures are not necessarily mass-market merchandise, but rather licensed high-end collectibles. Mewtwo cost me around $60, and that was just after release. Pre-orders went around $50-60, and after-market values have increased to over $100. So, in terms of uniqueness, the line ''could'' qualify for an article on the grounds of it being marketed toward collectors, rather than children. The figures themselves are highly-articulated and average in size around six inches.
::As for the promotion, I would need to double-check on that. The line is promoted in Japanese magazines, as far as I know. What those magazines are, I cannot say for certain without further information from several of my sources. [[User:Trak Nar|Trak Nar]] ([[User talk:Trak Nar|talk]]) 10:13, 1 June 2013 (UTC)

== Starter Pokémon template, Eevee Pokémon XD ==

I was on the Starter Pokémon page and I looked at the template used at the bottom

{{Starter Pokémon|Arceus}}
<pre>
[[Category:Terminology]]
[[Category:Starter Pokémon|*]]
[[Category:Anime starter Pokémon|*]]</pre>

(and I hope posting that doesn't somehow bug out the site)

Anyways I looked at the XD portion and noticed it says Eevee can evolve into any of its Eeveelutions. XD is from Gen III and there were only 5 Eeveelutions around at the time. Shouldn't the template or whatever (I have almost 0 tech skills/knowledge) be changed to reflect this. At the moment it is kind of misleading. I would hate for someone to get a copy of XD and try to get one of its IV or VI Eeveelutions and get frustrated because they can't due to them not existing when the game was conceived. I'm not sure if you're the right person to go to for this, not even sure if your a staff member or have the power to change the template. [[User:Yamitora1|Yamitora1]] ([[User talk:Yamitora1|talk]]) 15:02, 1 June 2013 (UTC)

== Question about dub edits ==

Would dub edits be pertinent to character articles, if the edit is in reference to that character's dialogue? Or, are dub edits only pertinent in the media articles? I ask this because in the original Japanese dub of [[M01|''Mewtwo Strikes Back'']], [[Raymond]], after his defeat, says in very plain English "OH MY GOD!" That was not the only instance of "Engrish" in the movie, as when {{Ash}} is told that the storm is too violent for him to cross the waters with his Pokémon, he responds with a forlorn "damn." Also, upon entering {{an|Mewtwo}}'s laboratory and snooping around, when [[Jessie]] sits on the computer console, she utters a particular four-letter word. Would any of those changes in dialogue be worth mentioning? Or, are instances of "Engrish" in the original dubs usually ignored in articles?

== The Uncut Story Of Mewtwo's Origin‎ ==

Lol, I already had this kind of problems in the past, and since then I have been more cautious to avoid problems, but I didn't realize that a brief mentioning of y. would be a big deal (not even Wikipedia ha such strict policies), but if my message was wrong, than your removal of it was a good thing. Anyway, back to the main topic: I have the Mewtwo Returns DVD and the voice of adult Mewtwo in "The Uncut Story Of Mewtwo's Origin‎" seems to me Addie Blaustein's voice (she also voiced young Mewtwo), but it could also be Phillip Bartlett's voice (I am Italian and I haven't watched the whole first movie in English, just few scenes). What do you think? Do you recognize the voice? --[[User:Abcd|Abcd]] ([[User talk:Abcd|talk]]) 11:28, 9 June 2013 (UTC)
:Yeah, we have to be strict on copyright violations, and certainly moreso than Wikipedia; Wikipedia has way easier access to many skilled lawyers than Bulbagarden does. We need to be extra careful, as we probably do things anyway that already violate Pokémon's copyright, and we just need to stay "in their good books".
:I'm not very skilled in VA recognition. I think the credits would be a better choice, although I'm not sure if the DVD does have credits after the short or not, or if there are credits somewhere else. We typically avoid guessing VAs by ear anyway, as we have communication with the VAs themselves and they get annoyed when voices get misattributed due to someone guessing by ear (although they are the DuArt VAs, so they are less likely to know who voiced characters in a 4Kids dub). --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 11:38, 9 June 2013 (UTC)

The DVD doesn't have credits after that short, the only credits present are after "Mewtwo Returns" (and they are just generic "Voice Characterizations by" and "Additional Voices by", without saying who voices who). What you said about guessing VAs by ear may be right in principle, but there must be exceptions: for example I wrote that the adult voice of Mewtwo is Masachika Ichimura at the end of the short, and I only knew that by ear; I am sure that someone that knows American VAs better than me can judge if the voice is Blaustein's or Bartlett's (in the scene where Mewtwo gets older his voice also get older, but it seems to me that it just deepens without changing much, that's why I think that it may be Blaustein). If other people follow our discussion, the problem could be easily solved. --[[User:Abcd|Abcd]] ([[User talk:Abcd|talk]]) 12:17, 9 June 2013 (UTC)
*For what it's worth, it sounds like Bartlett's voice, and the dub was made around the time that Bartlett was voicing Mewtwo. [[User:Trak Nar|Trak Nar]] ([[User talk:Trak Nar|talk]]) 03:23, 12 June 2013 (UTC)

:The point is you can't just say that a character was voiced by a specific person without stating how you know that to be the case. Was it in the credits? Did the VA tweet about it? Is it on some cast sheet you have access to?

== A new section for every Pokémon page: type origin. ==

At first, um, hello SnorlaxMonster, and I don't know if I'm with the right person to ask this, but if I ain't, then please tell me who could help me. So to start things of: Every Pokémon has a 'Origin' and 'Name Origin' section. These sections mostly include speculation, and are some of the few places on Bulbapedia where that is allowed. But there is one more thing that I, and hopefully others, have really liked to see on Bulbapedia: 'Type Origin'! This would be a section which should include speculation in the same way as the 'Origin' and 'Name Origin' section, but this one would explain why a Pokémon has a specific type(-combination) and/or how a Pokémon is related to a specific type(-combination). So would would Tornadus's Type Origin explain that he is probably a pure Flying-type, because he is able to fly and has to go with Thundurus and Thornadus. But also that he is about windstorms, and the best type to represent 'windstorms' is the 'flying-type'. So Tornadus is actually the 'Windstorm-type' and the 'Being-able-to-fly-type', both of which are represented by the 'flying-type'. So he is actually the flying-type and the flying-type, so because Pokémon can't have the same type twice, he is a pure flying-type. Also Noivern, the 'Sonic Pokémon', is said to produce soundwaves with its ears. And soundwaves are actually vibrations in the air, so we again get the flying-type. And then Noivern is also a Dragon-like creature, so it also needs to be the Dragon-type. But Noivern is mostly about sound, so the flying type comes first. And that is why Noivern has Flying as its primary type. Then Gardevoir has the newly-introduced Fairy-type, because it is based on a Guardian angel. And angels would be represented by the fairy type. Also, some Pokémon own the Water-type, just because they are based on aquatic animals. Not because they actually have anything to do with 'water', that also should be noted. And it should also be noted if a Pokémon is the Fire-type because it is related to Fire itself, Magma, Lava, Heat, Stars, and so on. A reason to be of the Ground-type doesn't really need a Pokémon to be about earth, but also about sand, mud and clay! Jynx is an Ice-type, but not because she is made out of ice! However Regice is also and Ice-type but Regice IS made out of ice. So they got different reasons to be Ice-types! So how about it? Is it a nice idea to add the 'Type Origin' section to the Pokémon pages? By the way, thanks for reading the whole thing if you did...

==4"4 Hy and other glitch stuff==
Someone has just moved the page to 4!4 Hy. I can understand why, because of its in-battle name, but I think it's dubious, so I would never make that move myself, and I'm more in favor of the old name. What do you think? Should this be kept?
'''Update:''' Now someone has moved it to 4 "4Hy! (notice the space...argh!)
'''Update 4:''' Now someone moved it to 4!4=Hy, just because of that glitch block!
'''Update 7:''' Was moved to 4 4Hy! <big><big>HELP ME!!!</big></big>

'''Update 2:''' Two other things:

* Could you please add <code><nowiki><includeonly>[[Category:Glitches]]</includeonly></nowiki></code> to {{template|Project GlitchDex notice}}?

* Also, could you tell me if [[User:TheOriginalOne/GlitchPkmnPrevNext|this template]], which is based on {{template|PokémonPrevNextHead}}, would be suitable for use at the beginning of every glitch pokémon page?

Thanks.

'''Update 3:''' ...two other things:

* Should I consider [[a:File:MissingNo. Z Yellow.png]] another sprite of Yellow B8, and so change the Missingno. article according to that?

* I think I noticed a mistake that prevents us from using the move templates that we use in pages like [[List of glitch moves|this one]]: the template from the middle shows the minisprite for the pokémon with the equivalent pokédex number. This may be good with hybrids, but the problem is that when the glitch pokémon in question has a # higher than 151 the template will display pokémon from the next gen - and yes, I confirmed that it has nothing to do with the JGGlitch. And even in the other cases where the number is different from 000, the glitch pokémon might not always be a hybrid.
** Even more important than that, why are most of them marked as "000"? Is the article really that incomplete?

'''Update 5:''' I was posting move and deletion notices on glitch sprites that didn't follow the naming convention, when I noticed something weird: [[♀ .]] and [['v]]'s sprites are exceptions to the ones of the glitch pokémon that share the same games and #. Now the question is: to which new name should those exceptions be moved?

'''Update 6:''' Also, could you please move [[A]] to A (C0), as there's [[A (EA)|another A]]?

'''Update 8:''' And when is [[Five question marks]] going to be split? There's no point on keeping it.

I really look forward to hearing from you soon, so that issues will not continue accumulating. Thanks. [[User:TheOriginalOne|'''オリ''']][[User talk:TheOriginalOne|'''ジ''']][[Special:Contributions/TheOriginalOne|'''ナル''']] TheOriginalOne 22:21, 26 August 2013 (UTC)

== Item Help ==

I was hoping that you know how to place 0 for the money total, as the Pokémon Conquest item {{DL|List of Pokémon Conquest items|Junk}} can technically be sold for 0 gold but putting in 0 instead display "Cannot be sold".[[User:TrainerX493|TrainerX493]] ([[User talk:TrainerX493|talk]]) 19:14, 3 July 2013 (UTC)

== [[Time]] ==

Fixed time, added evening, but I have no idea how that template works, since the "morning/day/night" repeats after 3 switches instead of 4 (oddly color one has the 4 switches and is quite easy to update)... and it seems to imply that in-game summer has morning from 3:00 to 9:59 when it's actually 4:00-8:59 (and even before I fixed it, it was 4:00-9:59, so where that 3:00 got from...). [[User:Marked +-+-+|Marked +-+-+]] ([[User talk:Marked +-+-+|talk]]) 09:45, 8 July 2013 (UTC)
:Well, the first problem is that {{redlink|Template:Evening color}} doesn't exist, which it would need to in order to put into the template. Instead, I'll just fix the boundaries that were wrong. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 12:22, 8 July 2013 (UTC)

== Side series ==

Thank you for doing most of the legwork in changing all the infoboxes/categories/etc for the side series games last month. We still need an actual page for them and a corresponding template, so I took the liberty of Frankenstein-ing them together since they've been left undone. ([[User:Pumpkinking0192/Side series]] and [[User:Pumpkinking0192/Template:Side series]]) I based them on the [[Spin-off Pokémon games]] article and template, so they're not pretty-looking by a long shot, but they exist and are functional, which is a lot better than before. Are these ready for the mainspace, and if not, what can I do to fix that? (Unless there are already plans in place for something different to be done with side series-related stuff, in which case never mind about all this.) Thanks!

== Draining Kiss ==

Just because the pictures are Aromatherapy doesn't mean the information is wrong, especially when it's labeled with the same move underneath each language. If it was wrong, wouldn't one of them have differed? (There also isn't one Healer so far who doesn't learn at least one HP move naturally.) Why can't we trust the website to be right? [[User:ArcToraphim|Luna Tiger]] * the [[User talk:ArcToraphim|Arc]] [[Special:Contributions/ArcToraphim|Toraph]] 19:04, 12 July 2013 (UTC)
:I don't think this one specific part can be trusted as it is clearly a mislabeling. The image depicts Aromatherapy, but the site says it "can learn Draining Kiss" in the caption underneath it. We already know there is a mistake in part of that piece of information, so I don't think we should trust it until the mistake has been fixed. (Also, Spritzee doesn't has lips, although Wooper can learn Ice Punch so that may be a redundant point.) --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 19:09, 12 July 2013 (UTC)

:Sorry to interrupt, but I can answer to that one. I saw your first talk page (you are intelligent: you hid the negative comments!) and so I know your problem. Due to that scheme of yours that involved doing random mainspace edits just in order to be autoconfirmed, they told you that you were "put in abuse". Being put in abuse means you can no longer edit any of your userspace (that means everything that has the <code>User:</code> prefix), until you prove you can make more mainspace edits than the userspace ones. That's what the "constructive edits" thing means. [[User:TheOriginalOne|'''The''']][[User talk:TheOriginalOne|'''Original''']][[Special:Contributions/TheOriginalOne|'''One''']] 22:36, 12 July 2013 (UTC)

First of all, that wasn't a "scheme" of mine. Yes my account was autoconfirmed and I did make a constuctive edit on Cacnea, but somebody deleted it for no reason. And what mainspace edits did I even do? If you're talking about the one that administrator told me about, I never did any of that. My IP address got hacked so it made it look like I was the one who made those edits when in fact I never did. They put me in the abuse group just because something happen to my IP address. I don't even edit pages on bulbapedia, I just read them. Don't try to tell me a schemer when you don't know your facts. {{unsigned|Abdullahi456}}

:Sorry, but I have no way of knowing exactly what was made by your account, as the changes were hidden by the admin. And please, can't you admit you did it? In case you didn't notice, the IP adress really identifies you, and unless the hacker used the same computer as yours, there's no hacker at all. There's no problem in admitting you commited a mistake, as nobody is perfect. Specially when you're a new user: this happens all the time. I have a bunch of them actually. And I didn't defend myself from them: I ''learned'' from them.

If it was me, I'd admit it. But let me tell you something, you see the history of my account? Check it and see the previous year in when I used bulbapedia. I haven't used it since 2010 and I only came back on it because I got an email from the one I used to confirm my account saying that I made some non constructive changes on bulbapedia. When I went on, I discovered my account wasn't logged on. Either somebody hacked my Ip address or somebody else went on my computer. I'm pretty sure it's the latter. I didn't do anything. Just because an ip address identifies you doesn't mean you can automaically point the blame at the real user. I did mistakes before on bulbapedia but I stopped. It's plain and simple. {{unsigned|Abdullahi456}}

I noticed you proposed [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Rank&diff=1701918&oldid=1685370 here] that this article be split into three; one article for each game. I disagree with this. If you look at the length of each section, there is simply not enough information in each to justify giving them their own articles. For example, look at the Contest section. It consists of five sentences and two charts. In my opinion, that's not enough for a separate article. The Mystery Dungeon section is the longest in the article, and I think there's enough in there to split it off, but the other two sections don't appear long enough for separate articles. But if we split off the MD section, then I don't know what to do with the Ranger Rank and Contest sections. What do you think?

Ok, since you removed the info on the "Awakened" forme off the forme page, I guess you're the one to ask this?

Should/will this be investigated and noted in the article for Mewtwo, Mega Evoltuion and/or the Forme Difference Articles? I mean we wen't from fully accepting the Awakened forme to the point of having it on the articles, to now having Game Freak do a 180° and now instead we have Mega Mewtwo.

== Is there a article that lists the registered trademarks from the Pokémon franchise? ==

Is there a article that lists all the known (R), (TM) and (C) of Game Freak and Pokémon like the newly discovered Pokkén and other items like Mega Evolution, which were trademarked at some point for future possible use by the franchise?

If not, would that be a article worth making sense it would be informative, and also provide a resource for those who barely know what a Registered Trademark is? [[User:Yamitora1|Yamitora1]] ([[User talk:Yamitora1|talk]]) 14:17, 20 August 2013 (UTC)
:There is not. I know all Pokémon names are trademarked. I don't know how we would go about compiling a list though. I believe Pokémon Opal and Pokémon Topaz have been trademarked since at least DP (because I remember everyone thinking Platinum would be called Opal because of that, and then thinking Black and White would be Opal and Topaz). Also, don't forget patents like {{pk|Patent US7762893}} (although that's Pikmin, the point is still relevant).
:Copyrighted things don't work the same though, as copyright is automatic and you don't need to file for it (although you do need to renew it sometimes, but Pokémon is far too young for that). ™ indicates something is trademarked, but not necessarily that it is a registered trademark (which is what we find). ® is really the only one of the three you listed that is of relevance (registered trademarks).

== Error to report! Ground neutral on Fighting? ==

In the Pokémon Type Chart, it states that Ground-Type attacks are 1x effective on Fighting-Type Pokémon. If I recall correctly, this is incorrect: Ground-Type moves are 2x effective on Fighting-Type Pokémon.{{unsigned|Pkmn4dummies}}

I don't suppose I could get your thoughts on [[Talk:Mewtwo (anime)#Mewtwo's attacks, as mentioned in BoM|this]]? Basically, I'm looking for another opinion on adding the attacks mentioned in ''Birth of Mewtwo'' to Mewtwo's moveset. Personally, I see no issue with adding these moves, along with where they debuted, but I'd like someone else's opinion on this before I do. Thanks.

== Distorted images ==

Hi I'm not terribly good at editing and I noticed a few of the main Pokemon images do not have the correct dimensions causing them to appear squished.

[[Manaphy]], [[Arceus]], and [[Victini]] are like this, though there are probably a lot more.

If we don't mention HSOWA, we miss chronicling one of the more amusing parts of the fandom! Things like hot skitty on wailord action are part of the pokemon-related humor that makes a fandom thrive and are too funny not to chronicle in an encyclopedic form!

(Besides, Celebishipping is on here, and I'm sure there are other ships listed equally outrageous)

(Some things are just that funny, and something should be mentioned of the whole HSOWA phenomenon.)

:I do have the games, but it would be impractical and take hours to document every Pokemon that appears at every battlefield for all three levels of power, especially since in a lot of storylines you can't even access every battlefield, and what appears there each round is random. A simple list of Pokemon isn't plagiarism, if I was copying stuff word for word, yes, but I'm not, it's a list of straight facts that as you said, anyone could get, to call it plagiarism is ridiculous.

:::Yeah, that's not really a good idea, as one probably won't get what that move is (what is it anyway?).

::::Well that pic could be a lot of moves, Conquest only uses a dozen or so image hitboxes. Among others I'm probably forgetting, that's Ice Beam, Flamethrower, Psybeam, and Dragon Pulse. [[User:Drake Clawfang|Drake Clawfang]] ([[User talk:Drake Clawfang|talk]]) 04:22, 31 January 2013 (UTC)
::::Also to clarify, the difference between the main game and conquest effects of moves is that Conquest uses a grid-based movement system, every attack hits over particular tiles. So that pic hits three squares forward, the blue square is the attacking Pokemon, the orange squares are what squares get hit. Water Gun for example hit two squares forward, Petal Dance and Outrage hit the four squares adjacent the attacker, etc. The in-game graphics show a similar graphic to that including colors, just their grid is on an angle.

== Re:Conquest ==

The tiles could be made larger, and there should be a field to list who learns the attack (it can be small though, I doubt that any move is learned by more than five Pokemon at best). How come the Description and Power fields are repeated? All in all though, looks good. [[User:Drake Clawfang|Drake Clawfang]] ([[User talk:Drake Clawfang|talk]]) 03:10, 1 February 2013 (UTC)

Oh, and to simplify the Power field, moves in Conquest are ranked in power in stars, 1-5. [[User:Drake Clawfang|Drake Clawfang]] ([[User talk:Drake Clawfang|talk]]) 03:11, 1 February 2013 (UTC)
:Yeah, been trying to make the tiles larger, I'll figure out how to do that. Okay, Pokémon that can learn the move will b added, description and power are only like that for the time being. As for the stars, I'm actually for images of the stars so I can use that on the template.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 03:34, 1 February 2013 (UTC)
::Sorry, don't have the sprites for the stars.

::Something else that can simplify the template, the middle tile on the second row, as shown on my earlier pic, can always be blue. Then the other tiles just need the option to be orange, blue, red, or blank - the game uses orange to denote what tiles are hit, blue to denote the attacker moving as they attack, and red to denote the target will get pushed back to that tile(s) by the attack.

::Yeah, that is really not gonna work, not all moves hit straight forward. Flame Burst hits in an X pattern centered two squares forwards, Fire Spin hits in a box pattern in front of the user, Thunderbolt hits three tiles horizontally two squares in front of the user. Like, I could supply you with the different combinations so we could put like "pattern=1" and it shows the one pattern, but otherwise each tile needs to individually be toggable to turn orange. The two in front of the user, like in your test, need the option to turn blue, and the column two in front of the user (fourth columm from the left) needs to be able to turn red.

::::Well, turns out my estimate of a dozen attack combinations or so was quite generous, it's twice that.

Here's all of them [http://s443.beta.photobucket.com/user/DrakeClawfang/library/Pokemon%20Conquest 27 in total].

== Yellow Pikachu's Held Items ==

Sadly, I disagree with your editing. Pikachu can also be caught in the wild through Mew Glitch, which anyone can exploit without using any cheating devices. Also, that Pikachu carries Berry instead of Light Ball. As I said before, the data do exist regarding what item Pikachu carries depending on how it is acquired. It is imperative that all factual information be made available, especially when they're accurate. Not to be mean, but I want to point out that your reasoning behind removing information is based on an opinion and not fact, which is a violation of Bulbapedia editing policy. It is also my concern that if your reasoning is upheld, it will give ground to removing "held items" information from other Pokémon that can't be caught in the wild, even though such data exist inside the game paks via Pokémon Stadium 2. Additionally, I'm especially concerned that RBY Pokémon's level-up learnsets can potentially be retracted for the same reason. Perhaps, this is something that may need to be addressed.

::Perhaps a better alternative would be to post this info in the trivia section. It is true that there is no legitimate way to obtain Pikachu other than acquiring one from Prof. Oak. Yet, Pokemon Stadium 2 already has a code that assigns an item to Pikachu depending on how it is acquired. It seems that Oak's Pikachu has a special coding that Stadium 2 uses as a basis for assigning it Light Ball. I'm simply addressing what item Stadium 2 will assign to a Pokemon regardless of how they are acquired, although Pikachu seems to be an exception to the case.

When you said that you use VS sprites because they are the newest, than why isn't there a VS sprite for Giovanni on the Viridian City page, or for Koga on the Fuchsia City page.

I noticed your infobox template had a next episode area. Though it's a neat concept, I noticed how outdated it was. ''[[BW080|Crisis at Ferroseed Research!]]'' was slated to be the next episode in the US for months now, while Japan has ''[[BW097|Unova's Survival Crisis!]]'' as the next episode. Is there anything that can be done to remedy the situation? As it was part of your area, I left it the way it is, just to be courteous. [[User:Berrenta|Berrenta]] ([[User talk:Berrenta|talk]]) 15:58, 9 May 2013 (UTC)
:Yeah, I left it outdated on purpose as I had planned to replace it. What to replace it I didn't know so I just left it until I figured out what to do. The reason I stopped was because it just became tedious to update it.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 02:23, 10 May 2013 (UTC)
::That's understandable. I don't blame you for finding an alternative, since I can tell it would be tedious to have to update by hand--espececially having to be on top of it twice a week.

== Hmm ==

that surprises me, but all right. I took the cue from the Gen. VI starter and legendary pages being created already with incomplete information, but obviously moves and Pokémon are two different animals.

Speaking of: "Helioptile can learn the new '''Parabolic Charge''' move, which heals the user for half the damage it deals to enemies." I was going to create that as well, but it would fall under the same idea. [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 14:48, 14 May 2013 (UTC)

Self explanatory really.

Hi, can you read the talk page? There wasn't any significant opposition and the discussion was ignored after another user came in to support the information that was added.

:I do have the games, but it would be impractical and take hours to document every Pokemon that appears at every battlefield for all three levels of power, especially since in a lot of storylines you can't even access every battlefield, and what appears there each round is random.

::::Also to clarify, the difference between the main game and conquest effects of moves is that Conquest uses a grid-based movement system, every attack hits over particular tiles.

== Re:Conquest ==

The tiles could be made larger, and there should be a field to list who learns the attack (it can be small though, I doubt that any move is learned by more than five Pokemon at best). How come the Description and Power fields are repeated? All in all though, looks good. [[User:Drake Clawfang|Drake Clawfang]] ([[User talk:Drake Clawfang|talk]]) 03:10, 1 February 2013 (UTC)

:Yeah, been trying to make the tiles larger, I'll figure out how to do that. Okay, Pokémon that can learn the move will b added, description and power are only like that for the time being.

::Something else that can simplify the template, the middle tile on the second row, as shown on my earlier pic, can always be blue.

== Question ==

I noticed that you undid the trivia I posted on [[Cilan's Pansage]]. If you feel that way, I think you should also remove the trivia on [[Iris's Axew]] of being Iris's only non dual-type Pokémon and [[Brock's Croagunk]] of being Brock's only dual-type Pokémon in his [[Sinnoh]] party.

== Yellow Pikachu's Held Items ==

Sadly, I disagree with your editing. Pikachu can also be caught in the wild through Mew Glitch, which anyone can exploit without using any cheating devices. Also, that Pikachu carries Berry instead of Light Ball. As I said before, the data do exist regarding what item Pikachu carries depending on how it is acquired. It is imperative that all factual information be made available, especially when they're accurate. Not to be mean, but I want to point out that your reasoning behind removing information is based on an opinion and not fact, which is a violation of Bulbapedia editing policy. It is also my concern that if your reasoning is upheld, it will give ground to removing "held items" information from other Pokémon that can't be caught in the wild, even though such data exist inside the game paks via Pokémon Stadium 2. Additionally, I'm especially concerned that RBY Pokémon's level-up learnsets can potentially be retracted for the same reason. Perhaps, this is something that may need to be addressed. [[User:Mazion|Mazion]] ([[User talk:Mazion|talk]]) 06:06, 11 April 2013 (UTC)

::Perhaps a better alternative would be to post this info in the trivia section. It is true that there is no legitimate way to obtain Pikachu other than acquiring one from Prof. Oak. Yet, Pokemon Stadium 2 already has a code that assigns an item to Pikachu depending on how it is acquired. It seems that Oak's Pikachu has a special coding that Stadium 2 uses as a basis for assigning it Light Ball. I'm simply addressing what item Stadium 2 will assign to a Pokemon regardless of how they are acquired, although Pikachu seems to be an exception to the case. How Stadium 2 does it is not done through cheating or likewise.[[User:Mazion|Mazion]] ([[User talk:Mazion|talk]]) 15:26, 11 April 2013 (UTC)

== Koga's and Giovanni's sprites ==
Dear Force Fire,
When you said that you use VS sprites because they are the newest, than why isn't there a VS sprite for Giovanni on the Viridian City page, or for Koga on the Fuchsia City page. An admin said don't change them to VS sprites, because they weren't gym leaders in generation IV. So I am trying to follow the admin's example on other pages too. Do you get what I mean? {{unsigned|Agent5514}}
:Because that's showing that they're the Gym Leaders from that specific generation, so we use those generations sprites. Also, apart from them being new, it's also to be consistent through the article because as you can see from the article all of the sprites are up to date.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 12:59, 15 April 2013 (UTC)

I noticed your infobox template had a next episode area. Though it's a neat concept, I noticed how outdated it was.

:I'm assuming by homemade that you can rip the images off the games and such. If you can do that, by all means go for it.

:::Yeah, that's not really a good idea, as one probably won't get what that move is (what is it anyway?).

::::Well that pic could be a lot of moves, Conquest only uses a dozen or so image hitboxes. Among others I'm probably forgetting, that's Ice Beam, Flamethrower, Psybeam, and Dragon Pulse. [[User:Drake Clawfang|Drake Clawfang]] ([[User talk:Drake Clawfang|talk]]) 04:22, 31 January 2013 (UTC)
::::Also to clarify, the difference between the main game and conquest effects of moves is that Conquest uses a grid-based movement system, every attack hits over particular tiles. So that pic hits three squares forward, the blue square is the attacking Pokemon, the orange squares are what squares get hit. Water Gun for example hit two squares forward, Petal Dance and Outrage hit the four squares adjacent the attacker, etc. The in-game graphics show a similar graphic to that including colors, just their grid is on an angle.

== Re:Conquest ==

The tiles could be made larger, and there should be a field to list who learns the attack (it can be small though, I doubt that any move is learned by more than five Pokemon at best). How come the Description and Power fields are repeated? All in all though, looks good. [[User:Drake Clawfang|Drake Clawfang]] ([[User talk:Drake Clawfang|talk]]) 03:10, 1 February 2013 (UTC)

Oh, and to simplify the Power field, moves in Conquest are ranked in power in stars, 1-5. [[User:Drake Clawfang|Drake Clawfang]] ([[User talk:Drake Clawfang|talk]]) 03:11, 1 February 2013 (UTC)
:Yeah, been trying to make the tiles larger, I'll figure out how to do that. Okay, Pokémon that can learn the move will b added, description and power are only like that for the time being. As for the stars, I'm actually for images of the stars so I can use that on the template.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 03:34, 1 February 2013 (UTC)
::Sorry, don't have the sprites for the stars.

::Something else that can simplify the template, the middle tile on the second row, as shown on my earlier pic, can always be blue. Then the other tiles just need the option to be orange, blue, red, or blank - the game uses orange to denote what tiles are hit, blue to denote the attacker moving as they attack, and red to denote the target will get pushed back to that tile(s) by the attack.

Looks good, but how does the "tile" thing work? [[User:Drake Clawfang|Drake Clawfang]] ([[User talk:Drake Clawfang|talk]]) 05:05, 1 February 2013 (UTC)
:Type in a number after ''tile=''. So ''tile=one'' will highlight one tile, ''tile=two'' will highlight two so on so forth.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 05:16, 1 February 2013 (UTC)
::Yeah, that is really not gonna work, not all moves hit straight forward. Flame Burst hits in an X pattern centered two squares forwards, Fire Spin hits in a box pattern in front of the user, Thunderbolt hits three tiles horizontally two squares in front of the user. Like, I could supply you with the different combinations so we could put like "pattern=1" and it shows the one pattern, but otherwise each tile needs to individually be toggable to turn orange. The two in front of the user, like in your test, need the option to turn blue, and the column two in front of the user (fourth columm from the left) needs to be able to turn red.

::::Well, turns out my estimate of a dozen attack combinations or so was quite generous, it's twice that.

Here's all of them [http://s443.beta.photobucket.com/user/DrakeClawfang/library/Pokemon%20Conquest 27 in total].

== Yellow Pikachu's Held Items ==

Sadly, I disagree with your editing. Pikachu can also be caught in the wild through Mew Glitch, which anyone can exploit without using any cheating devices. Also, that Pikachu carries Berry instead of Light Ball. As I said before, the data do exist regarding what item Pikachu carries depending on how it is acquired. It is imperative that all factual information be made available, especially when they're accurate. Not to be mean, but I want to point out that your reasoning behind removing information is based on an opinion and not fact, which is a violation of Bulbapedia editing policy. It is also my concern that if your reasoning is upheld, it will give ground to removing "held items" information from other Pokémon that can't be caught in the wild, even though such data exist inside the game paks via Pokémon Stadium 2. Additionally, I'm especially concerned that RBY Pokémon's level-up learnsets can potentially be retracted for the same reason. Perhaps, this is something that may need to be addressed.

::Perhaps a better alternative would be to post this info in the trivia section. It is true that there is no legitimate way to obtain Pikachu other than acquiring one from Prof. Oak. Yet, Pokemon Stadium 2 already has a code that assigns an item to Pikachu depending on how it is acquired. It seems that Oak's Pikachu has a special coding that Stadium 2 uses as a basis for assigning it Light Ball. I'm simply addressing what item Stadium 2 will assign to a Pokemon regardless of how they are acquired, although Pikachu seems to be an exception to the case.

When you said that you use VS sprites because they are the newest, than why isn't there a VS sprite for Giovanni on the Viridian City page, or for Koga on the Fuchsia City page.

== protect my talk page? ==

Can you please protect my talk page? I'm getting some negative comments, and while one was "defending" me, it was still a little backhanded in nature. My talk page is no place for hating on fandoms. [[User:Yamitora1|Yamitora1]] ([[User talk:Yamitora1|talk]]) 19:19, 21 May 2013 (UTC)
:Since it's night time in Force Fire's time zone, I left a message on the talk page. Though the message in question wasn't that bad, please let a Staff Member know if they continue the issue. I'm not going to protect the talk page because that's the only way for other users to contact you, and protecting the page wouldn't be the appropriate action in this case.

'''Venusaur''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''フシギバナ''' ''Fushigibana'') is a dual-type {{2t|Grass|Poison}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Ivysaur}} starting at [[level]] 32. It is the final form of {{p|Bulbasaur}}.

Venusaur is the [[version mascot]] of both {{game|Green}} and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s|LeafGreen}}, appearing on the boxart of both.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Venasaur's coloring is more similar to Ivysaur's, and it has retained the three toes (claws), but has four additional fangs. It is considerably larger and heavier than both of its pre-evolutions are, and as such, it moves slower than the two when it is not in {{pkmn|battle}}, though it retains its {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon with a quadruped body|quadruped form}}. The bud on its back has since bloomed into a large red flower with six expansive, white-spotted petals, supported on a brown trunk somewhat like that of a palm tree. Instead of patches on its skin, Venusaur appears to have frog-like warts. Additionally, the insides of Venusaur's ears now appear to be red in coloration.

====Gender differences====
The female has a "seed" protruding from its flower; possibly representing a fertile Venusaur.

===Special abilities===
Venusaur are able to manipulate nature, as seen in ''[[EP051|Bulbasaur's Mysterious Garden]]'' by making the flowers on a tree bloom, controlling roots and branches to attack enemies or form a defensive wall around the garden. In addition, they are able to make Bulbasaur evolve by making their bulbs grow.

As with its pre-evolutions, most of Venusaur's attacks involve the plant on its back, but the attacks are clearly stronger than those from Bulbasaur and Ivysaur are. The flower on its back has a {{m|Sweet Scent|pleasant aroma}} that may attract other Pokémon. The aroma can also sooth people's emotions and calm Pokémon engaged in battle. The fragrance is stronger after a rainy day. The flower also absorbs sunlight to convert it into energy, thus making it far stronger during summertime.

It is also able to charge at its enemies to gain speed, then perform moves such as {{m|Skull Bash}} and {{m|Body Slam}} with a force more powerful than a speeding armored truck. Additionally, it is capable of making incredible leaps for such a heavy Pokémon, and it is able to dodge attacks and jump across close rock formations. Its only downside is that its weight causes a small quake as it lands (of which appears to be the means that Venusaur uses the move {{m|Earthquake}}) which can break the platform it’s trying to land on, or cause it to get buried in mud or sand. Since Venusaur is a fully evolved Pokémon (and the final evolution of a Grass-type [[starter Pokémon]] for that matter), it can use {{m|Hyper Beam}}, {{m|Giga Impact}}, and {{m|Frenzy Plant}}.

===Behavior===
Rarely in the wild, Venusaur usually lead the evolution rituals of Bulbasaur and Ivysaur every year, away from human eyes. A Trainer must be well experienced when around Venusaur because it is so powerful.

They still have a loyalty streak, though this isn't seen much, since most Venusaur act as the Trainer's bodyguard and are rarely abandoned, if ever. For some unknown reason, possibly from age, Venusaur are very calm and collected Pokémon, even after being caught, similar to {{P|Torterra}}.

===Habitat===
[[File:Grassland Habitat.png|thumb|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon}}]]
Venusaur's natural habitat seems to consist of plains with access to large amounts of sunshine and fresh water; they can be found in forests and jungles. As with the rest of its evolutionary family, it is mainly found in [[Kanto]].

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Venusaur gets most, if not all, of its energy from the flower on its back. The flower engages in photosynthesis, which provides energy for Venusaur. During this time, it remains completely still. Due to this, it prefers sunny areas and is more powerful in the summertime. It is unknown if Venusaur have to eat at all.

==In the anime==
[[File:May Venusaur.png|thumb|right|250px|Female Venusaur in the anime]]

===Major appearances===
====[[May's Venusaur]]====
{{an|May}}'s {{p|Bulbasaur}} had evolved during her absence from the series and showed up in ''[[DP078|Pruning a Passel of Pals!]]'' as a Venusaur.

====[[Spenser's Venusaur]]====
{{FB|Palace Maven|Spenser}}'s {{TP|Spenser|Venusaur}} debuted in ''[[AG163|Cutting the Ties that Bind]]''. Spenser had Venusaur use {{m|Sweet Scent}} to drive away the furious {{p|Beedrill}}. Venusaur was the second Pokémon that the Palace Maven used in his battle with Ash in ''[[AG164|Ka Boom with a View!]]''. The Seed Pokémon won against [[Ash's Heracross]], but lost to his {{AP|Swellow}}. It made another appearance in a flashback in ''[[AG165|King and Queen for a Day!]]''.

====Other====
A Venusaur leading an evolution ceremony for {{p|Bulbasaur}} appeared in ''[[EP051|Bulbasaur's Mysterious Garden]]''.

A Venusaur nicknamed Bruteroot was under the ownership of a Trainer named [[Corey]] in ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]''. Like Corey's other Pokémon, it was cloned by {{an|Mewtwo}}. Its clone made another appearance in ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]''.

{{OBP|Drake|Orange League}} of the [[Orange Archipelago|Orange Islands]] used a Venusaur in his battle against {{Ash}} and his {{AP|Tauros}} in ''[[EP112|Enter The Dragonite]]''.

{{ka|Jeremy}} used a Venusaur that knew {{m|Frenzy Plant}} in the second half of the Silver Town [[Pokémon Contest]] in ''[[AG151|Weekend Warrior]]''. Jeremy's Venusaur came very close to defeating [[May's Combusken]], but the Young Fowl Pokémon came through and pulled off a come-from-behind victory.

===Minor appearances===
A giant robot Venusaur was at the amusement park in ''[[EP017|Island of the Giant Pokémon]]''.

In ''[[EP020|The Ghost of Maiden's Peak]]'', a {{p|Gastly}} created an illusion of Venusaur in order to frighten [[Ash's Bulbasaur]]. Gastly subsequently combined this Venusaur with an illusionary {{p|Blastoise}} to create a ''[[Venustoise]]'', which terrified both Squirtle and Bulbasaur out of battling.

The first time a real Venusaur made an appearance was a cameo in ''[[EP043|March of the Exeggutor Squad]]''.

Venusaur also appeared in ''[[M02|The Power of One]]''.

A Venusaur was seen in a Gym on [[Kumquat Island]] in ''[[EP108|Pokémon Double Trouble]]''. However, this scene was removed from the dub due to the appearance of {{p|Jynx}}.

A Venusaur was one of the Pokémon seen in a field of flowers in ''[[EP180|Houndoom's Special Delivery]]''. It tried to use {{m|Sleep Powder}} on [[Misty's Togetic|Misty's Togepi]], but {{p|Houndoom}} blocked the attack, causing itself to fall {{status|sleep|asleep}}.

An [[Gan Gogh|artist]] has a Venusaur as a long-time friend, which he used to battle Team Rocket to blast off in ''[[EP185|The Light Fantastic]]''.

A Venusaur was seen in a [[Pokémon Center]] in ''[[EP187|Moving Pictures]]''.

Bulbasaur evolved into {{p|Ivysaur}} in ''[[PS015|Wartortle Wars]]'' after defeating a wild {{p|Primeape}}, and into Venusaur in ''[[PS033|The Winged Legends]]'' while fighting against [[Thu-Fi-Zer|the merged version]] of {{p|Zapdos}}, {{p|Moltres}}, and {{p|Articuno}} along [[Blue's Charizard]] and [[Blasty]], defeating it with its augmented {{m|SolarBeam}} while the others used {{m|Flamethrower}} and {{m|Hydro Pump}}, respectively. With the unusual help of [[Poli]] and [[Pika]] he was able to defeat Blue's Charizard at the Pokémon League, winning the battle and the tournament. At [[Boon Island]], Saur learned {{m|Frenzy Plant}} from [[Kimberly]], and was able to destroy {{adv|Mewtwo}}'s restrictive M2 Bind, again with the help of the other two starters.

Venusaur is also a Pokéfloat. The front half will push itself onto the screen first and play will then begin to move to the right after {{p|Snorlax}} leaves the screen.

====Trophy information====
''Evolving from Ivysaur, this deceptively toxic Pokémon has a huge flower on its back that emits a cloying fragrance: the scent lulls its enemies into a state of calmness. Venusaur's flower synthesizes sunshine into pure energy for its {{m|SolarBeam}} move. Think of Grass-type Pokémon, and Venusaur comes first.''

==Trivia==
* Venusaur is exactly the same size as another {{type|Grass}} Pokémon, {{p|Tropius}}. Both have a height of {{tt|6'7<nowiki>''</nowiki>|2.0m}} and a weight of {{tt|220.5 pounds|100.0kg}}.
* Venusaur's number in the [[National Pokédex]] and the [[List of Pokémon by Fiore Browser number|Fiore Browser]] are the same: 003.
* Due to [[List of censored words in Generation V|the censor]] that prevents Pokémon with offensive [[nickname]]s being traded on the [[GTS]], an English language Venusaur cannot be traded on the GTS without a nickname in [[Generation V]].
* Venusaur shares its [[species]] name with {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Ivysaur}}, and {{p|Sunkern}}. They are all known as the Seed Pokémon.
* Venusaur has six petals; however the sprites for {{game|Red and Green|s}}, {{v2|Yellow}}, [[Generation II]] and [[Generation III]], as well as its original artwork, show it with 5.
===Origin===
Venusaur appears to be based primarily on some form of {{wp|reptile}}, specifically the {{wp|tuatara}} or any of the mammal-like reptiles known as ''{{wp|Dicynodonts}}'' from the {{wp|Permian}} period or the {{wp|Kannemeyeria}}'' from the {{wp|Triassic}} period.

Other than a lack of a tail, and with visible ears and no genuine metamorphosis stage (evolution aside), Venusaur does not have much in common with {{wp|amphibians}} like {{wp|frogs}} and {{wp|toads}} (which metamorphose from one definite creature into another as they mature as opposed to just growing into a larger adult version of itself the way that Venusaur does); instead, it more closely resembles reptiles like lizards and tuataras. Alternatively, Venusaur's large rounded snout, wide mouth, wide-set eyes, bumpy wart-like skin, and quadraped-like movements are vaguely similar to those of certain amphibians, such as the {{wp|common toad}}. Unlike Bulbasaur, Venusaur's "ears" do have hollows indicating that they are in fact ears and not glands, as seen in many species of frogs and toads.

The flower on its back resembles the {{wp|rafflesia arnoldii}}.

====Name origin====
Venusaur is a combination of the words ''Venus'' (referring to the {{wp|Venus Flytrap}} plant) and the {{wp|Greek language|Greek}} ''saur'' (lizard).

Fushigibana is a pun on 不思議な花 "''fushigi na hana''" (strange flower).

==Trivia==
* Of all the times Hammer Arm was used in the anime, no Pokémon seemed to lose speed like its effect suggests.
* Despite Hammer Arm being a Fighting-type move introduced in Generation IV, no {{type|Fighting}} Pokémon could learn this move until Generation V.
** Additionally, the only Fighting-type Pokémon to learn this move are introduced in [[Generation V]].

Talk:Ditto (Pokémon)

2010-12-11T13:40:32Z

Bioness: /* Color */

I'm pretty sure Ditto's in the No Egg group. While it can breed with any Pokémon besides those in the No Egg group, it cannot breed with another Ditto, implying that it is, itself, in the No Egg group. -[[User:Ketsuban|Ketsuban]]

Ditto is in a special egg group called "DITTO" (you know how the game likes to use all-caps for Pokemon names). This group allows it to breed with anything other than a Pokemon in the "No EGGs" group or the "DITTO" group. This is what allows Ditto to breed with Pikachu or Staryu, but Suicune can't breed with other Pokemon. --[[User:Meowth346|Meowth346]]

I thought you could breed two Ditto and get another Ditto. [[User:Surskitty|surskitty]] 23:01, 10 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Nope. Stupidly. ~Ketz

Ditto is able to breed with other Pokémon ostensibly because of its ability to transform into other Pokémon. If it was paired with another Ditto, it wouldn't have anything to transform into, and since Ditto are genderless, would therefore have no reproductive organs.

Makes perfect sense to me that two purplish-pink blobs can't mate with each other. --17:09, 9 August 2007 (UTC)Ozzie

Does that mean that Ditto can breed with Lucario?[[User:Optimus35|Optimus35]] 03:23, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
:Anything but legendaries means anything but legendaries. Lucario isn't legendary. Therefore, ''of course''. '''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 04:57, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

::Er Thanks...[[User:Optimus35|Optimus35]] 08:36, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

didnt in in the II gen games if you put Ditto in the day care by itself turn into two dittos (most likely because it duplicated like a cell)--[[User:Kittenchild|Kittenchild]] 02:58, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

So I can't have a Lvl.1 Ditto? [[User:Tesh|'''TESHIGIGAS''']] 18:34, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

In the same note of discussion, how was the Steps to Hatch a Ditto Egg reached? Hack?
:The data's in there for all Pokémon just in case you ''somehow'' (usually hacking) manage to make an egg of it. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]{{ani|155|Fire echy}}[[User:TTEchidna/GSDS|GSDS!]]''' 07:17, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

== Hmmm..... ==

Ditto in the [[Anime]] could morph into any other pokemonn but keeps it size in some cases , but in the TCG it keeps its beaded eyes , that just makes wonder , can the [[Pokémon]] that ditto morphs to in the TCG be exceptions or special forms?--[[User:Nobody777|Nobody777]] 12:38, 20 June 2008 (UTC)
:I don't think so...D: Not sure... *is currently in Science-ICT class at school* [[User:Takoto|Takoto タコト]]| サソデイ = 愛 12:47, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

i think the info above should be mentioned in the trivia about the beaded eyes. to be honest nintendo shoud confirm this--[[User:Nobody777|Nobody777]] 13:25, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

== Trivia ==

Though worthless to do, can't u breed 2 Dittos and get another Ditto?--[[User:Kuki|Kuki]][[User talk:Kuki|Talk]] 15:23, 20 July 2008 (UTC)

:No. You cannot breed a Ditto with a Ditto. ~[[User:SaturnYoshi|'''$aturn''']][[User:SaturnYoshi|'''¥oshi''']] [[User talk:SaturnYoshi|THE VOICES]] 17:53, 20 July 2008 (UTC)

Really... interesting--[[User:Kuki|Kuki]][[User talk:Kuki|Talk]] 18:09, 20 July 2008 (UTC)

It's confusing, but it makes vague sense since Ditto has no gender. Remember, non-gendered Pokémon can't be bred, even with Ditto...it's "Unknown"-gendered Pokémon (Magnemite etc.) that can. Ditto has a unique egg type as well, we assume it breeds with everything except itself and None. [[User:LordArceus|LordArceus]] 00:07, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

While not made true in the games or implied in other sources: Considering its physical structure, does anyone else think that Ditto reproduces asexually? -- [[User:HechEff|HechEff]] 18:18, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

:It probably does, but since no official sources imply or otherwise indicate this, it doesn't belong in the article. It's pure speculation, and it's just as plausible that a fixed number of Ditto were created by Arceus at the beginning or time, and they lie dormant until bothered in the tall grasses. Or maybe Dittos are actually single cells from Mew's body that have grown much larger. — [[User:Laoris|Laoris]] ([[User_Talk:Laoris|Blah]]) 18:30, 14 January 2009 (UTC)
::That... actually makes perfect sense. It would explain why the both of them can use Transform while no other pokemon can...[[User:Kiryu|Kiryu]] 00:42, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

== Learn every move ==

Can't ditto learn every move with its move transform?[[User:ShinyPikachu|ryan]] 00:10, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
:But since it doesn't keep the move permanently, it doesn't go under the Learnset section. - [[User talk:SpontaneousCombusken|s.]][[User:SpontaneousCombusken|'''Combusken''']] 00:11, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
Ok i was just wondering[[User:ShinyPikachu|ryan]] 14:39, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
I'm guessing that means the Rage cheat doesn't count? [[User:Gliscorguy54|Gliscorguy54]] 20:46, 21 November 2010 (UTC)
:Cheats and glitches don't count. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 20:51, 21 November 2010 (UTC)

== Color ==

== Buggy Moves ==
In my Pokemon Diamond game, I was using Ditto to catch Pokemon. After using transform on and catching a Primape, combat ended with Ditto still looking like Primape (duh). After that I got into another wild battle and Ditto was Ditto again, but with Primape's moveset. I am making an assumption that you can potentially make Ditto a permanent clone move-wise this way, anyone want to experiment? [[User:Crenel|Crenel]] 21:07, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

never happed to me and my ditto, if was a bug in your game then you are lucky.

::Sorry for the stupidly late reply, I don't visit here much (obviously). Anyway, the description I left above is still accurate. It has been traded between several players, gained over 30 levels in daycare, gone back and forth over Wi-fi, and been used in many battles since I originally left this message, yet it still knows the Primeape's moves. It has not effected or hampered my breeding at all, either. In fact, I bred that same Primeape with the Ditto to get a Mankey later on.
::I own the US version of Pokemon Diamond (purchased at my local Gamestop).
::The Primeape in question was caught with an Ultra Ball and caught on Route 225 (of course) if anyone wants to experiment with this. Basically, go into any battle with your Ditto, use transform, and then catch the Pokemon you transformed into while Ditto is still your active Pokemon. Then, check Ditto's moves to see if they have changed. If they haven't, try it a few more times and see if it works. Also, I am pretty sure my Ditto was holding Quick Powder at the time as well.

==Shiny Ditto Glitch==
What the F...lareon happened to the glitch to get a shiny ditto in G/S using R/B, if no one knows what I'm talking about here's how (altough it's old and I think you all know):

1 Capture the shiny Gyarados in G/S and ransfer it to R/B
2 Teach Gyarados Mimic and erase all his other moves
3 Battle a wild Ditto with the Gyarados, mimic him and transform a few turns while it transforms
4 Capture the Ditto and transfer it to G/S it will be shiny

Notes: I'm not sure if it's a requirement but all of the times I used the Pokémon Stadium 2 (For both transfer and Doduo GB).

== One Move ==
Ditto isn't the only Pokemon that only learns one move, the same is true of Unown. {{unsigned|DrStubbsberg}}

Until Platinum, it was also true of Beldum. Smeargle also only learns one move, though it learns it up to 10 times. [[User:Wikifixer|Wikifixer]] 04:00, 11 November 2009 (UTC)

== Ditto can (or at least could) permanently learn other moves ==

I had to create an account just to point this out as I was very surprised not to already see it in the article. I remember doing this with my friends back with gold/silver (don't know if it works in further generations). Ditto can permanently learn ANY move. When I used my ditto on pokemon stadium, it listed his moves as red, indicating that ditto shouldn't have those moves and that it's an exploit, but I wouldn't think that would stop it from being noted. Here's how, in case you pokenuts don't already know (which you probably do):

Take a smeargle. Put it up against a pokemon with the move you want ditto to learn. Use sketch on the move so smeargle permanently learns it. Level smeargle enough so he learns sketch again. Make sure sketch is not in the first slot, because otherwise ditto will lose the ability to transform. (doens't stop the trick from working, just stops you from doing it again). Link up your cartidge with the smeargle on it (and in your party) to the cart with the ditto on it. This "records" the trainer's smeargle on the "ditto cart", so that the ditto can battle the smeargle. Make them battle. Have ditto use transform. When smeargle uses the move you want ditto to learn, use the copied sketch. Poof. Ditto permanently retains whatever move you want.

I had a ditto with horn drill, fissure, guillotine, and lock-on, which always came as a shock to opponents. (though not much of a challenge as he's so weak). Does this exploit belong in the article? Probably never going to post again, [[User:Farsight001|Farsight001]] 13:38, 6 August 2009 (UTC)
:It's under glitches. -[[User:Sketch|Sketch]] 14:34, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

== No Trainers use Ditto? ==

"This is likely why no Trainers have Ditto in the Generation IV games" - I can't verify this since I don't have any Gen IV games, but I recall a schoolboy on the Vermilion - Olivine leg of the S.S. Aqua journey in the original G/S/C who used a Ditto. I was wondering does this trainer still use Ditto or does he have a new party in HG/SS? --[[User:Bardock|Bar]][[User_Talk:Bardock|dock]] 08:38, 16 December 2009 (UTC)

== How can it breed at all? ==

== Transform affects experience gain? ==
A friend of mine claims that a Ditto will give more of less experience depending on what it Transforms into. Is this true? I sustain is isn't but I'm having a rotten time actually finding any Dittos to check. He claims this is in Emerald's Desert Underpass, if it affects any (I'm looking in HG). [[User:Vhazhiphor|Vhazhiphor]] 00:36, 20 July 2010 (UTC)

== Transform Paradox? ==

When I was playing in Emerald, I used a Ditto with a high speed to battle another Ditto, my Ditto used Transform first, then the enemy couldn't use it, because Pokémon can't Transform into already Transformed Pokémon, so I kept using Transform, which ultimately restored it's PP, and the enemy couldn't Transform. It eventually used Struggle, I kept using Hyper Potions, the enemy fainted, and I won. But, in that article, it says that the battle should last forever. [[User:Pawsrent|Pawsrent]] 20:53, 21 July 2010 (UTC)
:According to the transform article it was made like that in Gen II. I've reworded it so that it now (correctly) only applies to Generation I. <sc>[[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]]</sc> [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 21:22, 21 July 2010 (UTC)

== Tickle ==

The pokedex says laughing makes it unable to hold its form. When you tickle someone, laughing is a natural reaction. But Tickle doesn't make it revert to its normal form. I tried to add this (someone else did too according to the page's history), but someone said that "nothing says ticking would make it laugh." I personally don't see how the move would have an effect then. What other point is there to tickling? Am I missing something? --[[User:LynnCreed|LynnCreed]] 20:07, 28 July 2010 (UTC)

I dont think the actual move tickle should even have an effect

(and tickling is not the only way to make someone laugh) ([[User:Ataro|Ataro]] 20:16, 28 July 2010 (UTC))

I didn't say tickling is the only way to make someone laugh, I said laughing is the only natural reaction to tickling, so i think the comment is warranted in the trivia section. --[[User:LynnCreed|LynnCreed]] 16:08, 29 July 2010 (UTC)
:I don't think so. Maybe Ditto just isn't ticklish. --[[User:AndyPKMN|AndyPKMN]] 16:42, 29 July 2010 (UTC)

== Ditto and Mew ==

Ditto and Mew are pretty similar...

Weight: Both are 8.8lbs

Gender: Both Genderless (Yeah, probably insignificant)

Colour and Shiny Colouration: Both are naturally Pink and have Blue as their shiny colour

Transform: They both start with Transform

This might be a bit silly/weird but it's nice to note.

Perhaps we can add this to the Trivia, if not all then at least some?

== MM ideas ==

OK, I gots an idea for a Luvdisc evolution based on the arrows Cupid shoots to make people fall in love. A Water/Flying type. Ability: Filter. Name: Cupidisc (I'm also toying with the name Arrodisc/Arrowdisc). Slightly better Speed. MUCH better Attack. It'll look like a Luvdisc, but with more of a point to its mouth so it can use stuff like Fury Attack, Drill Peck, and Aerial Ace. It'll also have a tail-think Hitmontop's tail, but slightly longer. And, at the end, a slightly smaller heart, like a miniature Luvdisc.

Also, an Eevee PRE-EVOLUTION. I'm thinking for the name "Peearee" (pronounced pee-are-eee; as in P-R-E; as in PRE-evolution). To evolve into Eevee, level it up with, ironically, the Everstone.

Also, I give you: Enemite. Derived from enemy and mite, referring to its small size. It would be Poison/Normal, and evolve when its happiness is at its minimum. Its only moves would be Frustration, Spite, and Scary Face. It would evolve into Seviper if its ability were Shed Skin, and into Zangoose if its ability were Immunity. So, what you think?

== Corsola Evo ==

I've always had an idea for a Corsola evolution. It's called Corseptic, and it's a rock/poison type. Yeah, screwed against ground types, right? Wrong! Its ability is Levitate, so that makes up for this grave weakness. It learns generally water, rock, poison, and psychic type moves. Its leg is basically a spike that generates the psychic energy needed to float. It has glowing, red eyes and a gaping mouth, rivalling that of Swalot. I imagine it would evolve through leveling up knowing "Poison Blast" (Super-Powerful Poison move). What do you think? --[[User:Parrot Hype|Parrot Hype]] 18:50, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

:most of the names are just placeholders of sorts with little or no thought put into them (barring a select few like Lapras prevo and Dunsparce evo). the general idea im trying to convey is that some Pokemon are hopelessly useless and need to be fixed. -- '''[[User:MAGNEDETH|MAG]][[User:MAGNEDETH#Interesting Stuff|NE]][[User talk:MAGNEDETH|DETH]]''' 18:42, 31 October 2009 (UTC)
:::Well ALL the evolutions you just created have become some of the strongest Pokémon in the games. I mean, not EVERY Pokémon can be amazing dude. Except Ninjetch'd. THAT'S a good idea--[[User:TheLastCharmander|TheLastCharmander]] 18:46, 1 November 2009 (UTC)

==Unown Evo's name==
Personally, I don't like it ''King Unown''!? Talk about being uncreative. Why not Enygma? :v [[User:Tyro|User:Tyro]] 08:10, 17 February 2010 (UTC)
:no, i agree, "King Unown" is a stupid name, but while "Enygma" is a good name, i dont think it really fits for the king here. -- '''[[User:MAGNEDETH|MAG]][[User:MAGNEDETH#Interesting Stuff|NE]][[User talk:MAGNEDETH|DETH]]''' 18:31, 17 February 2010 (UTC)

== Neuinpine ==

How about a different Sudowoodo evolution called Ninepine or Neunpine? Neun is "nine" in German, and Nein is "no" in German. I think you know where the "pine" comes from. It will have nine branches on it (four on each side, one on the top), and be Rock/Dark. Sudowoodo will evolve into it when holding False Branch at Lv. 40 at night. [[User:Pawsrent|Pawsrent]] 20:39, 12 August 2010 (UTC)

== New Evolution Stats ==

I love your pages, however with many of your new evolutions their base stats are over 540 (which is often considered the absolute max for normal Pokemon) those higher have reasons or hindering abilities, neat idea with new type combination but not every Pokemon needs a unique or duel type

'''Flash Fire''' (Japanese: '''もらいび''' ''Received Fire'') is an [[ability]] introduced in [[Generation III]]. Eighteen {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} can have this ability, all of them of the {{type|Fire}}.

==Effect==
===In battle===
Flash Fire powers up {{type|Fire}} moves if hit by fire. This ability makes the user immune to Fire-type damage and when hit by a Fire-type move, Flash Fire will be activated. While subsequent hits by Fire-type moves will not provide a further increase in the damage of Fire-type attacks, it will still not take any damage. This ability is not activated by the {{status|burn}}ed status unless it is caused by a move which is Fire-type.
Flash Fire is not active while the user is {{status|Freeze|frozen}}.

===Outside of battle===
Flash Fire has no effect outside of battle.

==Trivia==
* Tabunne is very similar to {{p|Chansey}}. They are both pink, are {{type|Normal}} Pokémon, learn healing moves, work in [[Pokémon Center]]s, both have no evolutionary chains and low encounter rates in both of their introductory games, and both have names that reference luck or chance in some way.
* Tabunne is the only Pokémon with a base stat total of 445.
* It is the only Pokémon available in any [[tall grass]] of a region, similar to {{p|Magikarp}} and water.

===Origin===
Tabunne appears to draw inspiration from {{wp|satyr}}s.
====Name origin====
Its name seems to be derived from 多分ね ''tabun ne'', maybe.

===Sprites===

==Trivia==
* Tabunne is very similar to {{p|Chansey}}. They are both pink, are {{type|Normal}} Pokémon, learn healing moves, work in [[Pokémon Center]]s, both have no evolutionary chains and low encounter rates in both of their introductory games, and both have names that reference luck or chance in some way.
* Tabunne is the only Pokémon with a base stat total of 445.
* It is the only Pokémon available in any [[tall grass]] of a region, similar to {{p|Magikarp}} and water.

===Origin===
Tabunne appears to draw inspiration from {{wp|satyr}}s.
====Name origin====
Its name seems to be derived from 多分ね ''tabun ne'', maybe.

==Characteristics==
Psychic-type Pokémon have been fairly popular since [[Generation I]]. Offensively speaking, they often have great Special Attack meaning they can deal damage quickly using STAB moves. Furthermore, Psychic-type Pokémon can often learn moves of other elemental types, to deal with a multitude of types, most especially their weaknesses of Dark, Ghost, and Bug. As a special sweeper, they are one of the best types in the game as a Psychic Pokémon's speed is also typically quite high. The greatest disadvantage is that Psychic cannot affect Dark. However their immunity to Psychic can now be rendered useless with {{m|Miracle Eye}}, as well as the fact that most Psychic-types can now learn{{m|Signal Beam}}. Some others are able to learn {{m|Focus Blast}}.

Their defensive capabilities are often weak, however, in spite of some Psychic-types featuring moves such as {{m|Recover}} (Alakazam, Mewtwo, Deoxys, Latios, Latias, Starmie, Celebi, Chimecho, Medicham, Lugia). Psychic-types often have excellent Special Defense, but very low Defense and HP. Because of this, they can often only survive Special-based hits, and can easily be defeated by one or two high-powered moves from a Pokémon with an average or above-average Attack stat. Psychic Pokémon also often fall to a single {{m|Crunch}} due to the high Attack of many Dark-type Pokémon. There are exceptions to this, such as {{p|Bronzong}} or {{p|Metagross}}, who have high defense due to their second type, {{t|Steel}}, and their lack of weakness to Dark-type moves.

When used in contests, Psychic-type moves typically become [[Smart Contest|Smart]] moves, but can also be of the other four Contest types, excluding [[Tough Contest|Tough]].

==Pokémon==
In total, there are 68 Pokémon with the Psychic type; 43 are fully evolved.

==Balance issues==
Psychic-type Pokémon were at the center of a balance issue in the [[Generation I]] games.<ref> Suigimori, Ken ''"Psychic Pokémon seemed to dominate in the previous Pokémon game, so we needed to come up with new Pokémon and types to make Gold and Silver more balanced."'' Nintendo Power 134 (July 2000) p. 79 (retrieved August 16, 2010) </ref> The issue arose from the lack of an effective countermeasure against Psychic-types caused by the absence of any powerful {{type2|Bug}} moves (at the time the only elemental weaknesses of Psychic-types).

The issue was rectified in later generations with the addition of {{t|Steel}} and {{t|Dark}} types, an added weakness to {{type2|Ghost}} moves, and more powerful Bug- and Ghost-type moves.

==Trivia==
* {{m|Psycho Cut}}, {{m|Zen Headbutt}} and {{m|Heart Stamp}} are the only [[Physical move|physical]] Psychic-type moves.
** As these moves were introduced after [[Generation III]], this makes Psychic the only former special type not to have any of its moves changed into physical moves.
* Psychic is the most common type for [[legendary Pokémon]], with at least two Psychic-type legendaries introduced in each generation.
* All legendary Pokémon except for {{p|Regirock}}, {{p|Heatran}}, and {{p|Phione}} learn at least one Psychic-type move by leveling up.
* Psychic is the only type that shares its name with {{m|Psychic|a move}} and a Trainer Class.
* Despite the balance issue during [[Generation I]], it was not until Generation IV that {{p|Croagunk|a Pokémon}} and {{p|Toxicroak|its evolution}} would have a double weakness to Psychic moves were introduced.
* There has been one Elite Four member or Gym Leader specializing in Psychic-type Pokémon in every generation.
* Even though [[Aura]] and Psychic abilities aren't confirmed to be the same, one of [[Sabrina]]'s quotes in FireRed and LeafGreen suggests that Psychic abilities and Aura are at least similar to each other in description: "Psychic power isn't something that only a few people have. Everyone has psychic power. People just don't realize it."

==Characteristics==
Psychic-type Pokémon have been fairly popular since [[Generation I]]. Offensively speaking, they often have great Special Attack meaning they can deal damage quickly using STAB moves. Furthermore, Psychic-type Pokémon can often learn moves of other elemental types, to deal with a multitude of types, most especially their weaknesses of Dark, Ghost, and Bug. As a special sweeper, they are one of the best types in the game as a Psychic Pokémon's speed is also typically quite high. The greatest disadvantage is that Psychic cannot affect Dark. However their immunity to Psychic can now be rendered useless with {{m|Miracle Eye}}, as well as the fact that most Psychic-types can now learn{{m|Signal Beam}}. Some others are able to learn {{m|Focus Blast}}.

Their defensive capabilities are often weak, however, in spite of some Psychic-types featuring moves such as {{m|Recover}} (Alakazam, Mewtwo, Deoxys, Latios, Latias, Starmie, Celebi, Chimecho, Medicham, Lugia). Psychic-types often have excellent Special Defense, but very low Defense and HP. Because of this, they can often only survive Special-based hits, and can easily be defeated by one or two high-powered moves from a Pokémon with an average or above-average Attack stat. Psychic Pokémon also often fall to a single {{m|Crunch}} due to the high Attack of many Dark-type Pokémon. There are exceptions to this, such as {{p|Bronzong}} or {{p|Metagross}}, who have high defense due to their second type, {{t|Steel}}, and their lack of weakness to Dark-type moves.

When used in contests, Psychic-type moves typically become [[Smart Contest|Smart]] moves, but can also be of the other four Contest types, excluding [[Tough Contest|Tough]].

==Pokémon==
In total, there are 68 Pokémon with the Psychic type; 43 are fully evolved.

==Balance issues==
Psychic-type Pokémon were at the center of a balance issue in the [[Generation I]] games.<ref> Suigimori, Ken ''"Psychic Pokémon seemed to dominate in the previous Pokémon game, so we needed to come up with new Pokémon and types to make Gold and Silver more balanced."'' Nintendo Power 134 (July 2000) p. 79 (retrieved August 16, 2010) </ref> The issue arose from the lack of an effective countermeasure against Psychic-types caused by the absence of any powerful {{type2|Bug}} moves (at the time the only elemental weaknesses of Psychic-types).

The issue was rectified in later generations with the addition of {{t|Steel}} and {{t|Dark}} types, an added weakness to {{type2|Ghost}} moves, and more powerful Bug- and Ghost-type moves.

==Trivia==
* {{m|Psycho Cut}}, {{m|Zen Headbutt}} and {{m|Heart Stamp}} are the only [[Physical move|physical]] Psychic-type moves.
** As these moves were introduced after [[Generation III]], this makes Psychic the only former special type not to have any of its moves changed into physical moves.
* Psychic is the most common type for [[legendary Pokémon]], with at least two Psychic-type legendaries introduced in each generation.
* All legendary Pokémon but {{p|Regirock}}, {{p|Heatran}}, and {{p|Phione}} learn at least one Psychic-type move by leveling up.
* Psychic is the only type that shares its name with {{m|Psychic|a move}} and a Trainer Class.
* Despite the balance issue during [[Generation I]], it was not until Generation IV that {{p|Croagunk|a Pokémon}} and {{p|Toxicroak|its evolution}} that have a double weakness to Psychic moves were introduced.
* There has been one Elite Four member or Gym Leader specializing in Psychic-type Pokémon in every generation.
* Even though [[Aura]] and Psychic abilities aren't confirmed to be the same, one of [[Sabrina]]'s quotes in FireRed and LeafGreen suggests that Psychic abilities and Aura are at least similar to each other in description: "Psychic power isn't something that only a few people have. Everyone has psychic power. People just don't realize it."

List of Pokémon with gender differences

2010-10-01T05:31:51Z

Bioness: /* Trivia */added observational trivia

Differences between the [[gender]]s of many species are apparent in the [[Pokémon world]], where some species of Pokémon have a noticeable difference between the male and female of the species. With the exception of the differences between [[Nidoran♂ (Pokémon)|male]] and [[Nidoran♀ (Pokémon)|female]] Nidoran, gender differences were introduced in [[Generation IV]].

These differences could be a reference to {{wp|sexual dimorphism}} commonly seen in many real lifeforms and may offer some clues to their biology and behavior.

==Trivia==
* At least one member of the starter families of each generation has visible gender differences, except for those introduced in [[Generation IV]] and [[Generation V|V]].
** Of these three, the only full evolutionary line is {{p|Torchic}}'s.
* {{p|Garchomp}} is the only [[pseudo-legendary]] Pokémon to have gender differences.
* Generation V has included the least amount of gender differences, despite having more Pokémon than any other generation.
** Generation V's gender differences however are far more drastic than the other generations, the exception being {{p|Nidoran♀}} and {{p|Nidoran♂}}.

First partner Pokémon

2010-10-01T05:08:32Z

Bioness: I got rid of a section in the trivia about double weeknesses of starters as it was incorrect.

[[File:Sugimori Starter artwork.png|thumb|Kanto starter Pokémon artwork]]
At the beginning of their quest, {{pkmn|Trainer}}s are given a '''starter Pokémon''' (Japanese: '''はじめてのポケモン''' ''first Pokémon'' or '''さいしょのポケモン''' ''beginning Pokémon''; known as '''御三家''' ''the big three'' among Japanese fans). This Pokémon will be used to {{pkmn|battle}} the first [[wild Pokémon]] that the Trainer encounters. Once another Pokémon is caught, the starter may be retired, but it is often with this Pokémon that Trainers learn friendship and trust. As such, even advanced Trainers may still use their starters.

==In the games==
In the main {{pkmn|games}}, each starter Pokémon is at [[level]] 5, armed with one damage-dealing [[move]] and another that affects [[stat]]s. Trainers can choose between a {{t|Fire}}, {{t|Water}}, or {{type2|Grass}} Pokémon ([[Pokémon Yellow Version|with one exception]]). The Trainer that will be designated as the player's [[rival]] will always choose or have the Pokémon of the starter trio that has a type advantage over the one the player chooses, though it may not be the case that they remain the true rival.

The following is a list of starters by region:

===Normal starters===
====Main series====
=====[[Kanto]]=====
In {{game5|Red|Green|Blue|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, [[Professor Oak]] will bring Trainers to his lab to give them one of the following to begin their journey:

|}

The player's {{ga|Blue|rival}} will then pick the type-advantageous starter, and the remaining Pokémon will sit in its [[Poké Ball]] on Oak's desk for the rest of the game.

Professor Oak offers one of this trio of Pokémon to the player in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} as well after the player has defeated {{ga|Red}}, making reference to the fact that he gives them out as starters in Kanto-based games, suggesting the player will be able to make it to [[Viridian City|the next town]] with one of these Pokémon by his or her side.

In {{game|Yellow}}, Oak instead gives out:

This {{ga|Red's Pikachu|Pikachu}} is the same one that attacked the player when they ventured onto {{rt|1|Kanto}} that Oak caught, which will be the only choice the player gets. Another notable change here involves the player's rival receiving an {{p|Eevee}} from Oak, which will evolve into one of its three [[Generation I]] evolutions, depending on the outcome of the battles between the player and the rival.

It should be noted that during the adventure, the player will be able to get the original three Kanto starters through special events not present in the earlier games. It remains to be the only main series game to allow the player to obtain all three starter Pokémon from a previous game legitimately, without trading. The Pikachu received from Oak will also refuse to evolve into {{p|Raichu}} by use of a {{evostone|Thunderstone}} unless it is traded away to do so.

=====[[Johto]]=====
In {{game5|Gold|Silver|Crystal|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, [[Professor Elm]] will have an errand for the player to run, and will give them one of the following for protection on this errand, which they will then keep after completion:

After the player meets with [[Mr. Pokémon]] and receives a [[Pokédex]] from [[Professor Oak]], Professor Elm will call the player to tell them that {{ga|Silver|a thief}} has taken a Pokémon. As the player returns to [[New Bark Town]], he or she will encounter the thief, who will have the stolen Pokémon with the type advantage over the player's own. From this point onward, the thief will be the player's rival, while Professor Elm keeps the Pokémon that was left behind by the thief on his desk for the remainder of the game (in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, the last Pokémon mysteriously disappears at some point).

In Generation II, the Pokémon will be holding a {{DL|Berries (Generation II)|Berry}} when received from Elm, though the rival's stolen starter will not.

In {{game|Emerald}}, after the player has caught all Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number|Hoenn Pokédex]] with the exception of {{p|Jirachi}} and {{p|Deoxys}}, [[Professor Birch]] will offer one of these Pokémon as a reward.

=====[[Hoenn]]=====
In {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, after [[Professor Birch]] is rescued from a {{p|Poochyena}}{{sup|RS}} or {{p|Zigzagoon}}{{sup|E}}, he allows the player to keep the Pokémon they chose to rescue him with, either:

The player's neighbor, {{ga|Brendan}} or {{ga|May}}, already has his or her starter, which is always the one with the type advantage. [[Wally]] starts with {{p|Ralts}}; he seeks [[Norman]]'s and the player's assistance in catching his first Pokémon. By the end of the game, it seems that the player's nominal rival, the son/daughter of Professor Birch, has stopped being a Trainer, and Wally is actually the true rival, facing the player before he or she can leave {{ho|Victory Road}} and staying there to rebattle the player later.

In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, [[Steven Stone]] offers one of these Pokémon to the player after he or she has defeated {{ga|Red}}.

=====[[Sinnoh]]=====
In {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, when two {{p|Starly}} attack the player and rival at [[Lake Verity]], to which they travel upon hearing reports of a [[Shiny Pokémon|red]] {{p|Gyarados}}, they will choose one of the following from [[Professor Rowan]]'s briefcase, which he left at the lake:

The player's friend and rival {{ga|Barry}} will choose the starter that has a type advantage against the player's choice, and the [[non-player character|NPC]] who is the other-gender choice ({{ga|Lucas}}/{{ga|Dawn}}) will have the Pokémon weak to the player's choice. After fighting off the two Starly at the lake and returning the briefcase to Rowan, the professor will allow the player and {{ga|Barry}} to keep the Pokémon they used. Compared to previous games, NPC Trainers use their own starter Pokémon more than before, with notable figures such as the [[Gym Leader]] [[Gardenia]] and [[Elite Four]] member {{EF|Flint}} using them, as do several other Trainers.

In {{game|Platinum}}, the player and the rival are stopped by Professor Rowan just as they are about to run through tall grass to get to Sandgem Town to ask the Professor for Pokémon. After some questions about the player and the rival's love for Pokémon, he decides to entrust them with one starter Pokémon each.

=====[[Isshu]]=====
In {{game|Black and White|s}}, [[Professor Araragi]] leaves a gift with the player's [[mom|mother]] in [[Kanoko Town]] to give to him or her, containing the following three Pokémon:

The player's friend [[Cheren]] will choose the Pokémon that weakens the player's choice, while the player's other friend [[Bel]] will choose the one weak to the player's choice. The choice of starter Pokémon affects which of the [[Gym Leader]]s of [[Sanyou City]] will be battled: players who chose Tsutarja will face [[Pod]], a {{type2|Fire}} specialist, players who chose Pokabu will face [[Corn]], a {{type2|Water}} specialist, and players who chose Mijumaru will face [[Dent]], a {{type2|Grass}} specialist.

====Side series====

|}

A first for the Pokémon games, these starter Pokémon come as a pair as to represent the double-battle system, and are also different in that they are in the player's possession right at start of play. Umbreon is at level 26, knowing the [[TM]] moves {{m|Taunt}} and {{m|Snatch}}, as well as {{m|Bite}} which is otherwise only available through {{pkmn|breeding}} at such a level. Espeon is at level 25, knowing the TM moves {{m|Return}} and {{m|Reflect}}. Both are always male.

|}

This starter Pokémon is also in the player's possession right at the beginning. It is at level 10, knowing Bite which is again unique for this level. At an early point in the game, the player is offered one of five evolutionary items, {{evostone|Water Stone}}, {{evostone|Thunderstone}}, {{evostone|Fire Stone}}, {{evostone|Moon Shard}} and {{evostone|Sun Shard}}, to make the Eevee evolve into any of its [[Generation III|(then)]] [[Eeveelution|evolutions]].

In Pokémon XD, if the player completes the [[Mt. Battle]] challenge and beats all 100 trainers without quitting or switching Pokémon, [[Battlus]] will give him/her one of the Johto starters.

==In the anime==
[[Image:Starter Pokémon poster.jpg|thumb|A poster on Ash Ketchum's bedroom wall, depicting the Kanto starter Pokémon]][[File:LoT starters.png|thumb|[[Vincent]], {{jo|Marina}}, and {{jo|Jimmy}} with their starters]][[File:Sinnoh Starters.png|thumb|A postcard that Dawn received from Professor Rowan, depicting the Sinnoh starter Pokémon]]
Upon their tenth birthday, youth can register for a [[Pokédex]] and pick up a starter Pokémon from the local [[Pokémon professor]] or [[Pokémon Center]] free of charge. Starters are usually raised specifically to be easy to train.

Like in the games, the specific starter Pokémon available vary from region to region, but are the same in each region as the games. That is, Kanto Trainers can only choose Bulbasaur, Charmander or Squirtle, Johto Trainers can only choose Chikorita, Cyndaquil, or Totodile, and so on.

In ''[[AG025|A Mudkip Mission]]'', it was shown where starter Pokémon come from. Each region has special breeding grounds for starter Pokémon. The [[Pokémon League]] sends these breeders the Pokémon eggs for them to hatch at secret breeding grounds. The breeders then hatch, care for, and raise the young Pokémon until they are ready to be proper starters for new Trainers. As these young ones are virtually defenseless, the locations of breeding grounds (or even the knowledge of their existence) is a secret unknown to most in the [[Pokémon world]]. This is likely to guard against unscrupulous individuals or groups (such as [[Team Rocket]]) from poaching the young Pokémon.

Other rookie Trainers may receive their first Pokémon from a friend or relative instead; this means that Trainers can, in fact, start with any Pokémon, provided that their first Pokémon is received from someone that is not sanctioned by the Pokémon League.

===List of starter Pokémon in the anime===
* {{Ash}} received a {{AP|Pikachu}} from [[Professor Oak]].
* {{an|Brock}} received an {{p|Onix}} from {{ka|Flint|his father}} that now belongs to his brother, [[Forrest]], with whom it evolved into a {{TP|Brock|Steelix}}.
* {{Gary}} received a {{p|Squirtle}} from Professor Oak that [[evolution|evolved]] into a {{TP|Gary|Blastoise}}.
* [[James]]'s first Pokémon is his pet {{p|Growlithe}} named [[Growlie]]. However, he left it at home when he ran away.
* {{an|Casey}} received a {{p|Chikorita}} from [[Professor Elm]] that evolved into a {{TP|Casey|Meganium}}.
* {{Jo|Jimmy}} received a {{p|Cyndaquil}} from Professor Elm that evolved into a {{TP|Jimmy|Typhlosion}}.
* {{Jo|Marina}} received a {{p|Totodile}} from Professor Elm that evolved into a [[Wani-Wani|Feraligatr]].
* [[Vincent]] received a Chikorita from Professor Elm that evolved into a {{TP|Vincent|Meganium}}.
* {{Jo|Harrison}} received a {{p|Torchic}} from [[Professor Birch]] that evolved into a {{TP|Harrison|Blaziken}}.
* {{an|May}} received a Torchic from [[Professor Birch]] that evolved into a {{TP|May|Blaziken}}.
* {{Ho|Tommy}}'s first Pokémon was a {{p|Mudkip}}, that he evolved into a {{p|Marshtomp}}. He lost it on the [[Abandoned Ship]], where it evolved again into {{p|Swampert}}. They were later reunited.
* {{Ho|Stephanie}} (''[[AG034|Having a Wailord of a Time]]'') received a {{p|Mudkip}} from Nurse Joy at the [[Slateport City]] [[Pokémon Center]].
**[[Stephanie's father]] received a {{p|Treecko}} at the same time.
* [[Xander]]'s (''[[AG142|Caterpie's Big Dilemna]]'') Caterpie was implied to be his starter Pokémon in the episode, as he mentioned that his Caterpie was his first Pokémon, albeit it was "not caught".
* {{Ka|Gilbert}} (''[[SS014|Journey to the Starting Line]]'') received a {{p|Bulbasaur}} from Professor Oak.
* {{an|Dawn}} received a {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} from [[Professor Rowan]].
* [[Yuzo]] said that he started his Pokémon journey with a {{p|Starly}}.
* [[Paul]]'s starter Pokémon was a {{p|Turtwig}}, now a {{TP|Paul|Torterra}}.
* {{Si|Kenny}}'s first Pokémon was a {{p|Piplup}} that evolved into an {{TP|Kenny|Empoleon}}.
* [[Tyler]] (''[[DP080|Thief That Keeps on Thieving!]]'') received a {{p|Piplup}} named ''Pippy'' from an unknown location in East [[Sinnoh]].
* [[Zoey]]'s first Pokémon was a {{TP|Zoey|Glameow}} that she raised after it was abandoned. It is her signature Pokémon.
* [[Max]] intends to begin his journey with the {{p|Ralts}} that he met in ''[[AG109|Do I Hear a Ralts?]]''.
* {{an|Lyra}} received a {{p|Chikorita}} from [[Professor Elm]].
* [[Khoury]] received a {{p|Totodile}} from [[Professor Elm]].
* [[Shooti]] received a {{TP|Shooti|Tsutarja}} from [[Professor Araragi]] in [[BW001]].

Several characters have also captured Pokémon in the wild that are, in the games, only available as starter Pokémon.
* Ash Ketchum captured a {{AP|Bulbasaur}}, a {{AP|Charmander}}, and a {{AP|Squirtle}} in quick succession in the [[Kanto]] region. Of the three, only Charmander evolved, becoming a {{p|Charmeleon}}, and later a {{AP|Charizard}}, both of which were ''very'' disobedient to Ash until [[EP105|an incident]] in the [[Orange Archipelago]], after which it served Ash as it had when it was a Charmander. Bulbasaur was also going to evolve, but decided itself against becoming an {{p|Ivysaur}} in ''[[EP051|Bulbasaur's Mysterious Garden]]''.
* Ash also captured the three [[Johto]] region starters, {{p|Chikorita}}, {{AP|Cyndaquil}} and {{AP|Totodile}}, of which Cyndaquil and Chikorita evolved, into {{AP|Quilava}} and {{AP|Bayleef}}, respectively.
* Ash captured as well a {{AP|Treecko}} in [[Hoenn]], while Brock captured a {{TP|Brock|Mudkip}}. Treecko evolved twice, becoming {{AP|Sceptile}} before Ash left it at [[Professor Oak]]'s lab, while Brock's Mudkip evolved into {{TP|Brock|Marshtomp}}. Along with May's {{TP|May|Torchic}}, the traveling trio had the three starters of Hoenn.
* {{an|May}} captured a {{p|Bulbasaur}} midway through her journey in Hoenn, and was given a {{TP|May|Squirtle}} by Professor Oak when she journeyed to Kanto. Bulbasaur evolved all the way into {{TP|May|Venusaur}} during May's travels through Johto. Squirtle also evolved into {{TP|May|Wartortle}} during May's travels through Johto.
* In [[Sinnoh]], Ash repeated himself by capturing {{AP|Turtwig}}, which has since evolved into a {{AP|Torterra}}. His rival, [[Paul]] owned a Chimchar that was confirmed to be caught in the wild. It was released, recaught by Ash, and is now an {{AP|Infernape}}.
* Dawn hatched a {{TP|Dawn|Cyndaquil}} during her journey in Sinnoh.
* Gary Oak had an {{TP|Gary|Eevee}} at least since Ash was traveling in the [[Orange Archipelago|Orange Islands]]. As it was revealed to be under his ownership before his Blastoise, it caused many to hearken back to {{game|Yellow}}, where the player starts with {{p|Pikachu}}, like Ash, and the rival starts with Eevee. Either way, it was disproven that this was the case when Gary finally revealed his Blastoise to Ash. His Eevee eventually evolved into {{TP|Gary|Umbreon}}.

==In the manga==
===In Pokémon Adventures===
In [[Pokémon Adventures]], the Starter Pokémon featured in the games are reserved for the few people who hold a Pokédex. [[Professor Oak]] produces three Pokédex for each region, and gives out the three starter Pokémon in each region along with the Pokédex to Trainers he thinks are talented. He has colleagues and friends like Professor Birch do this for him in regions in which he isn't present.

Most characters in the manga do not start out with one of the Pokédex-related starter Pokémon. Instead, they usually have a Pokémon they were given by their parents when they were infants that they use as their starter Pokémon. Occasionally, it is not directly stated which Pokémon were their starter Pokémon in the manga, but in profiles of their teams, their starter Pokémon is marked with a star and is among the highest level in the party, even if they acquired more than one Pokémon at first.

====List of starter Pokémon in Pokémon Adventures====
* {{adv|Red}}'s starter was his [[Poli|Poliwag]]. Later, Professor Oak gave him a [[Saur|Bulbasaur]], which became a {{p|Venusaur}} in his travels.
* {{adv|Blue}}'s starter was his [[Blue's Scizor|Scyther]]. His grandfather later gave him a {{TP|Blue|Charmander}}, which evolved twice into a {{p|Charizard}} before Red's had.
* {{adv|Green}}'s starter was her [[Green's Wigglytuff|Jigglypuff]]. She stole a [[Blasty|Squirtle]] from Professor Oak and later obtained the third Pokédex after breaking down in tears in front of Professor Oak, who then recognized her a true Pokédex Holder and forgave her theft. By the time this happened, it had already evolved to a {{p|Blastoise}}.
* {{adv|Yellow}}'s starter a [[Ratty|Rattata]] that Red caught for her. Later, she borrowed Red's [[Pika|Pikachu]], and after Red took him back, caught a [[Chuchu|female Pikachu]] for herself. She originally borrowed Red's Pokédex for her journey to find and save Red, which she received permanently in the end of the {{chap|FireRed & LeafGreen}} after the three Pallet Town trainers received National Pokédexes (and the other two copies of the original Pokédex were destroyed dangerously close to the data transfer's finish). Like the Pikachu in {{v2|Yellow}}, neither evolved.
* {{adv|Gold}}'s starter was his [[Aibo|Aipom]] that his mother gave him. Professor Elm allows him to keep a [[Exbo|Cyndaquil]], which becomes a {{p|Typhlosion}} alongside the other two starters.
* {{adv|Silver}}'s starter was the Sneasel that Giovanni gave him as a child. He later stole a {{TP|Silver|Totodile}} from Professor Elm, as well as the first Pokédex of [[Johto]]. His starter evolved twice into a {{p|Feraligatr}}.
* {{adv|Crystal}}'s starter is officially her Smoochum, although she acquired many wild Pokémon that lived as a family while she was in the wild. [[Mega|Chikorita]] later ran away from Professor Elm to go with her, and became a {{p|Meganium}} midway into their journey.
* {{adv|Ruby}}'s starter was his [[Nana|Poochyena]] that he received from his father, though he also received his Skitty and Ralts at the same time. Later, he got Professor Birch's [[Zuzu|Mudkip]]. It evolved into a {{p|Swampert}} from the concussive battles it underwent. He was never formally given the Pokédex, it ended up in his hands, and he was allowed to keep it.
* {{adv|Sapphire}}'s first Pokémon was the Aron her father gave her. Later, he gave her a [[Toro|Torchic]] along with her Pokédex, which evolved twice under her care into {{p|Blaziken}}.
* [[Wally]]'s first Pokémon was a Kecleon that Ruby helped him capture. However, he also borrowed Ruby's Ralts and rescued the Treecko intended for Emerald, but they ended up returned to their rightful owners, and the third Pokédex was returned to Birch, which was then finally given to Emerald.
* {{adv|Emerald}}'s first battle Pokémon was the {{TP|Emerald|Sceptile}} he rescued from the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}, which was supposed to be his in the first place. It evolved from its {{p|Grovyle}} stage in the wild, after evolving once in Wally's care.
* {{adv|Diamond}}'s first was his Munchlax, and later he received a [[Wig|Turtwig]] from Professor Rowan because of a misunderstanding. It has since evolved to {{p|Torterra}} alongside the others.
* {{adv|Pearl}}'s first was his [[Chahiko|Chatot]], and later he received a [[Chimhiko|Chimchar]] from Professor Rowan with Diamond. The Chimchar has since evolved twice into an {{p|Infernape}}.
* {{adv|Platinum}}'s first Pokémon was her [[Platinum's Rapidash|Ponyta]], and later she received a [[Platinum's Empoleon|Piplup]] from Professor Rowan. It has since become an {{p|Empoleon}} under her care.

==Trivia==
* For [[DP001]], [[Professor Oak's lecture]] is about the starter Pokémon of Sinnoh. He writes this [[Pokémon senryū]] about them: シンオウで　たびがはじまる　ポケモンと ''Shin'ō de tabi ga hajimaru Pokémon to.'' "In [[Sinnoh]], a journey begins with Pokémon."
* All starters in the [[main series]] besides Pikachu have a 7:1 ratio of males to females.
** Due to this, as well as the way in which gender and shininess were determined, it was ''impossible'' to have a shiny female starter Pokémon in [[Generation II]], as the lowest Attack [[IV]] a [[shiny Pokémon]] could have was 2, while the highest Attack IV a female Pokémon in that gender group could have was 1.
* Each of the {{type2|Grass}} starters is based on a reptilian creature, with Bulbasaur and Chikorita being based on {{wp|dicynodont|prehistoric}} {{wp|sauropod|reptiles}}, Treecko on {{wp|gecko}}s, Turtwig on {{wp|turtle}}s, and Tsutarja on a lizard/snake.
* When [[gender differences]] were introduced in [[Generation IV]], none of the {{type2|Water}} starters received gender differences. Also, the Sinnoh region's starters were the only set not to have any gender differences, despite being introduced in the same generation as that feature.
* Starting in Generation III, all of the fully-evolved starters could learn {{m|Earthquake}}; this set a precedent for all later fully-evolved starters.
* The Hoenn starters all evolve for the first time at level 16, then again at level 36. The Isshu starters all evolve for the first time at level 17, and then again at level 36. Other trios have differences among the three in either one or both evolutionary levels.
* Other than {{p|Pikachu}} in the main series, {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}} and {{p|Squirtle}} are the only starter Pokémon to appear in more than one [[regional Pokédex]].
* The starter Pokémon of Generation III each had their own [[signature moves]]: {{m|Leaf Blade}} (Sceptile), {{m|Blaze Kick}} (Blaziken), and {{m|Muddy Water}} (Swampert). However once Generation IV came around, other Pokémon were capable of learning these moves.
* Only the Johto starters' final forms can be legitimately obtained in a type of Poké Ball other than the standard one. This is due to the ability to [[snagging|snag]] the starters' middle forms in {{g|Colosseum}}.
* In interviews with [[Junichi Masuda]] during 2009, he stated that starter Pokémon are the Pokémon from each game that the most work goes into, and usually take significantly more time than other Pokémon in each generation.
* {{p|Mudkip}} and {{p|Squirtle}} are the only starter Pokémon that can't learn {{m|Cut}}.
* When a starter Pokémon is first obtained, all are at level 5. Each knows one {{type2|Normal}} [[physical move]] and a stat-altering [[status move]] at this level, except for {{p|Pikachu}}, which has {{m|ThunderShock}} instead of a Normal-type move.
* Other than the Mystery Dungeon series, Pokémon Colosseum is the only Pokémon game that the player starts out with two Pokémon. They are also the highest leveled.
* In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} and later in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, all of the starter Pokémon are taken, instead of one being left at the lab.
* All of the Grass-type starters have the ability {{a|Overgrow}}, the Fire-type ones {{a|Blaze}}, and the Water-type ones {{a|Torrent}}. The exception to this are the evolutions of the {{p|Eevee}} obtained in Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness.
* In the National Pokédex and the regional Pokédexes, the Grass-type starter comes numerically before the others. The Water-type ones always come last numerically.
* Espeon and Umbreon are the only starters that are received fully evolved. Also, these two are the only starters which are received together.
* Neither of the main series starters that are based on birds ({{p|Torchic}} and {{p|Piplup}}) are half {{type2|Flying}}, and neither are able to {{m|fly}}.
* {{p|Bulbasaur}} is the only starter Pokémon in the main series to have a secondary-type in its unevolved stage.
* All three Johto starters stay a single type throughout their evolutionary lines, while all three Sinnoh starters are dual-types by their last evolutionary stage.

===Anime similarities===
* Ash has owned all four Grass-type starters: {{AP|Bulbasaur}}, {{AP|Chikorita}}, {{AP|Treecko}}, and {{AP|Turtwig}}. All of them except Bulbasaur have evolved since then.
* {{p|Charmander}} and {{p|Treecko}} are both based on lizards (salamander, gecko). Ash had the final forms of them: {{AP|Charizard}} and {{AP|Sceptile}}. It should be noted, however, that a real life salamander is an amphibian, not a lizard; however, Charmander is based upon the legendary creature known as the {{wp|salamander (legendary creature)|Salamander}}.
* {{p|Squirtle}} and {{p|Turtwig}} are both based on turtles and were the starters of two of Ash's rivals, {{Gary}} and [[Paul]].
* {{p|Torchic}} and {{p|Piplup}} are both based on birds (chicken, penguin). They were also both owned by the anime's resident [[Pokémon Coordinator]]s.
* Both May and Dawn have a second starter Pokémon from a previous generation with a type disadvantage to their first.
