== Gradient ==

Well, as I stated [[Template_talk:Welcome#Gradient|previously]], there was a small talk about the possibility of using gradients for a better look in templates such as the Welcome one; I just wondered if anything was done about it, or if you could make it work or something. And another thing, are some of the templates supposed to have a shadow? (I would give an example but I forgot which one it was and I can't actually do that much on this computer, I've reloaded this page like 7 times before getting it), if so; there's a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Box-shadow template] you might want to check out; however, I'm not sure if you can change the depth of the shadow and the position.

==Request?==
Hey. I have a small request, if that's alright? I'm no good with wikicode or creating templates, and I was wondering if you could help me out with something. Do you think you could create a template like the anime moveset template, but for abilities? That would be awesome. ^^ [[User:Littlmiget123|Littlmiget123]] 00:46, 3 December 2010 (UTC)

== Portals ==

Hey Geo,

Is the portal page you have set up as a userpage (/Portal:Jioruji_Derako) the portal project you were planning on going forward, or is that at another address? You can drop me a line either here or on the forums (or on AIM, if you see me)--whatever's easiest for you. Hope all's well. -- '''[[User:evkl|evkl]]''' [[User_talk:evkl|(need to talk?)]] 20:35, 23 January 2011 (UTC)

::Jello is correct, my Portal:Portals (and by extension, CP's variation) are both what I was aiming for.

== [[List of moves by range in the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series]] ==

This page needs cleaning up (I think). I am more than prepared to do it but I just have a quick question. Could I use the template from [[Move variations|this page]] (or a variation thereof) to make the page look more pretty?----[[User:Chalkwriter|Chalk]][[User talk:Chalkwriter|writer]] 16:44, 24 April 2011 (UTC)

:I agree that the page could use some prettying up. I'd much prefer to use a more specific variation of the template for this page (something that's designed for PMD moves), but if nothing can be made easily, it should be fine to use the mvar template in lieu of that.
:If you're familiar with template editing, I encourage you to go ahead and make something up, or perhaps just modify the mvar template a bit for PMD. I'd do such templates myself, but I only play the main series games, so I'm not familiar with what categories or headers a template like that would need.
:Let me know if you need any help on anything! --[[user:Jioruji_Derako| '''J'''ïörüjï]] [[user talk:Jioruji Derako|'''Ð'''ērākō.'''>''']] 19:23, 24 April 2011 (UTC)

:Which project do you mean, OMG? Assuming it's [[Bulbapedia:Project Moves and Abilities|Project Moves and Abilities]], you simply add your username to the bottom of the "participants" list, and start helping out. (do note that you don't need to be a participant to help out.)

== Changing fonts on signatures ==

How to? --[[User:YoshisWorld|'''☆ヨッシ''']] [[Special:Contributions/YoshisWorld|'''ー''']] [[User talk:YoshisWorld|'''の世界☆''']] 23:08, 30 September 2011 (UTC)

:That would be the <code><nowiki> </nowiki></code> code you're looking for. Of course, you'd replace "Arial" with the font of your choice; you can use whatever you like here, but keep in mind, if someone is viewing the page and they don't have the font you specified, they'll just see the default font instead. Ideally, you'd use a fairly common font here, something that most users can be expected to have (anything that comes with Windows by default should be pretty global).
:A quick search for "HTML code font" or "font coding" or something similar should find you just about all the info you'd need on that sort of stuff, since it's all pretty standard HTML code.
:Oh, and of course, try not to go overboard with it. =D Fancy script is fine, but just avoid using Wingdings or something crazy that'll make your signature totally unreadable. --[[user:Jioruji_Derako| '''J'''ïörüjï]] [[user talk:Jioruji Derako|'''Ð'''ērākō.'''>''']] 23:36, 30 September 2011 (UTC)

:::...but yes, as my obsessed fangirl has mentioned, it is a bit wide, though of course this depends on where exactly the template is going to be used.

::::I intended it to be under a separate header on the move pages (from Gens I-IV), and thought it would be best in the center (that's why it's so wide).

:::::Just use some of the templates on the Pokémon species articles as a good example [[Weavile|(like so)]]; they take up different sizes, and the majority of them are centered. They key thing is that they're usually sized based on how much space their content needs; a bit of extra whitespace outside of the template won't look as odd as a template with a lot of empty space inside it. --[[user:Jioruji_Derako| '''J'''ïörüjï]] [[user talk:Jioruji Derako|'''Ð'''ērākō.'''>''']] 22:54, 11 October 2011 (UTC)

::::::::Maybe try putting the stats alongside the image rather than underneath? Alternatively, two columns of stats? Just to reduce the amount it'll stretch the page that we don't need it to.

:(resetting indent) Hum, the column layout might be a little confusing; at first glance, I was expecting to to be top-to-bottom, rather than two sets of left-to-right (if that makes any sense). I do like how the space is used with this setup, though.

:I think having an image there is definitely a plus, assuming we can get images for each of the moves. As far as categories needed, that's actually an area I'm not too familiar with, so I'd leave that for someone else to answer (if someone else is perhaps watching my page still and knows the subject?).
:Could you clarify on the template question; do you mean, can we put this template on a page without having an image? If that's the case, it's completely possible, we've done the same for a number of templates in the past (so long as there is a variable in the template for the movename, it can be set up to create a redlink for where the missing image should be). --[[user:Jioruji_Derako| '''J'''ïörüjï]] [[user talk:Jioruji Derako|'''Ð'''ērākō.'''>''']] 18:25, 5 November 2011 (UTC)

:(resetting indent) I'm not quite certain if there's something we'd need to do first before implementing this, so I''m waiting for Werdnae or one of the others to drop in on this one. I believe the only thing we really need to do at this point is mainspace the template, then start to add it to the articles; being the least-active non-hiatus EB member right now, I'd rather not jump right into what might be a decently-sized project, without having an okay from one of the others.
:Moving the two images you've got already is probably a good idea; if we want to make it particularly simple, we can set the template up to automatically call on an image with <nowiki>{{{movename}}}_PMD.png</nowiki>, in which case they'd all need to have matching names. (this also lets the templates with missing images have a properly-named redlink, so it's easy for other editors to upload an image for it.) --[[user:Jioruji_Derako| '''J'''ïörüjï]] [[user talk:Jioruji Derako|'''Ð'''ērākō.'''>''']] 20:14, 2 December 2011 (UTC)
::I'm still not really a big fan of this template. Being just a modified infobox, I'm not really sure why it ''can't'' just be used '''as''' an infobox. I really can't see it fitting well in the middle of a page section. For pages such as {{m|Wide Slash}} and {{m|Vacuum-Cut}}, it would be easier to replace the main series infobox (given that {{template|MoveInfobox}} doesn't remotely apply to the MD only moves) & use a Mystery Dungeon specific infobox. For the moves in the main series, those pages are generally long enough to handle a second infobox, if needed, or it could potentially be called on as a subtemplate to the move infobox. The information presented is all infobox-style information so it would really be more fitting, IMO, to be presented through an infobox. - [[User:Kogoro|'''Kogoro''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''Talk to me''']] - 02:38, 3 December 2011 (UTC)
:::Returns from break to Bulbapedia@Kogoro: In a way I can see what you mean, but to me the information takes up more space than the ordinary infobox and so there is not enough space for all the information (with all of the extra effects and basic information).

::::I think you ''might'' have missed my point. What I was trying to get at was to reduce the size from 50% to 25% (like {{template|MoveInfobox}}), then re-organize the information in a format that is friendly to the smaller size. It could then be used as a secondary infobox (or set up as an extension to the MoveInfobox) for moves that are in the main series and can be used as the only infobox for moves exclusive to the Mystery Dungeon series, like {{m|Wide Slash}} and {{m|Vacuum-Cut}}. - [[User:Kogoro|'''Kogoro''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''Talk to me''']] - 21:56, 8 December 2011 (UTC)

::::::::::::Hmm; you could try it on one or two pages to start with; from the looks of things, it should fit under the main infobox, but I don't know for sure how well it would work into the page (two infoboxes might be confusing as well, but we do need some way to show the PMD info).
::::::::::::The other way would be to make a PMD subsection, and put the infobox in that, but that might just make the page unnecessarily long (they've already got big, long lists of Pokémon that can learn the move).

== How to make a signature ==
Hey, can you please tell me how to make a good signature? I'd really appreciate it if you can help me out in making a good signature for me. Thanks! --[[User:Poke.geek|--Poke.geek]] 20:25, 5 November 2011 (UTC)
:I'm afraid I don't quite have the free time to help too much, but if you've got a design that's not seeming to work, I can certainly provide some help in fixing broken coding and the like.
:I'd suggest taking a look at the {{bp|signature policy}} for some beginning advice, and take a look at the coding from other users' signatures for ideas on the coding options you have (just avoid copying someone exactly, if you can! Be creative with it). Signatures use the same coding that's used for the rest of the wiki, which is a mixture of HTML as well as the simpler wiki-markup. If you're new to the coding, what you want to look at in particular is the <code><nowiki></nowiki></code> tag, and more specifically, the <code>style=</code> markup that can be used within it. You'll find all sorts of info on style coding with a simple Google search, if you want to really delve into what you can do with it.
:And lastly, if you do run into issues with your coding, [[wp:Wikipedia:How_to_fix_your_signature|Wikipedia:How to fix your signature]] is the first place you should look for a fix. If that fails, just drop me a message here, I'll see if I can't spot the issue! --[[user:Jioruji_Derako| '''J'''ïörüjï]] [[user talk:Jioruji Derako|'''Ð'''ērākō.'''>''']] 03:39, 6 November 2011 (UTC)

:You have span tags on the checkmark characters, but the span tags aren't actually doing anything (there's no style input). Your HTML is giving errors because of this; simply remove the span tags, like so.

:@Truthseeker: indeed, it works just fine right here, but because it's technically got some broken tags in it (those span tags without style input), MediaWiki views it as having broken HTML and won't allow you to use it as a signature (even though it'll still display just fine everywhere else). When in doubt, the best way to test signature code is to actually set it as your signature.

== Move page question ==

I should probably bring this up in case this is an issue again. With some "in other generations" tabs, there's five images in a row, and it [http://i40.tinypic.com/2mfn8qv.png kinda makes the page have to scroll to the right] whenever that happens. What should I do about that? Split it to 4+1? Split it to 3+2 (So that both DS games are in the same row)? Leave it? For the record my screen ratio is 1280x1024 and I don't really know what standard is, so... -- [[User:Trainer Hunter|Trainer]] [[User talk:Trainer Hunter|Hunter]] -- 23:10, 6 December 2011 (UTC)

:For 4:3 screens, 1280x1024 is fairly standard nowadays, along with 1024x768 (the latter being the smaller size we can expect to see from our users, as 800x600 screens are exceptionally hard to find now and even harder to design around).
:That in mind, a 3/2 split on the images seems the best way to go about it, putting both of the DS games on the bottom row. --[[user:Jioruji_Derako| '''J'''ïörüjï]] [[user talk:Jioruji Derako|'''Ð'''ērākō.'''>''']] 23:54, 6 December 2011 (UTC)

== Names of types in other languages ==

Hi 
I am a user form the german PokéWiki (actually the leader of the moves project^^) where I recently asked the others where the tables containing the names of types in other languages come from. As no one was able to answer me I guessed that they are probably taken over from bulbapedia which is why I want to ask you now (since you're project leader of the project that usually has the most experience with game mechanics and thus types and since I don't know who to turn to ;)): Are the stated names the official names of the localization in the respecitve countries? Do localizations in the listed countries even exist? What confuses me is that for some languages there is more than one translation given whic makes the table look like a collection of words from google translator rather than an official names list. 
I hope you can help me to sort this out; if not it would be helpful if you could provide me with a username or a talk page where I can state my business (I asked Umeko but she seems inactive). Thank you very much --[[User:Wenlok Holmes|Wenlok Holmes]] 22:06, 22 January 2012 (UTC)

Number two: You're right, you are not authorized to create your pages. That is because we make it so dedicated editors are allowed the privilege of having a userpage. In the past people have abused the userspace and we treat it more of a privilege than a right. When you do some work, you'll be allowed to create and edit your pages yourselves.

Ghost (type)

2012-09-11T19:05:53Z

BlazeBigBang: /* Trivia */

{{Types}}
The '''Ghost type''' (Japanese: '''ゴーストタイプ''' ''Ghost type'') is one of the seventeen [[type]]s. Notable Pokémon Trainers that specialize in Ghost-type Pokémon are [[Agatha]] of the [[Kanto]] [[Elite Four]], [[Morty]] of [[Ecruteak City]], [[Phoebe]] of the [[Hoenn]] Elite Four, [[Fantina]] of [[Hearthome City]], and [[Shauntal]] of the [[Unova]] Elite Four. Prior to Generation IV, where moves are designated [[Physical move|physical]] or [[Special move|special]] based on the move itself rather than its type, all Ghost-type moves were physical.

==Statistical averages==
===Overall===
{{BaseStatNoCat|

==Battle properties==
===Generation I===
{{typebattle
|type=Ghost
|weakto1=Ghost
|resist1=Bug
|resist2=Poison
|weaken1=Ghost
|unaffected1=Fighting
|unaffected2=Normal

}}

{{typebattle

|weaken2=Psychic
|resisted1=Dark
|resisted2=Steel
|unaffected1=Fighting
|unaffected2=Normal
|noeffect1=Normal
}}

==Characteristics==
The Ghost type is the smallest [[type]] in the game, with few additions in each new Pokémon game. They are also unique in the fact that they have a type-specific attack: {{m|Curse}}, which, other than being the only {{type|???}} move before the type was removed in [[Generation V]], works differently for Ghost-type Pokémon than it does for other Pokémon.

===Offense===
Ghost-type Pokémon are used mainly to inflict status effects, like {{status|confusion}} or {{status|paralysis}}. Most Ghost-type moves cause some sort of effect or a [[status ailment]]. They are a good type to use in Pokémon battling, because of their possession of all-around good attacks, such as {{m|Shadow Claw}} and {{m|Shadow Ball}}. Also, there is no Pokémon that resists a combination of {{t|Fighting}}- and Ghost-type moves, as the only combination capable of this ([[Normal]]/Ghost) has never materialized.

===Defense===
The weaknesses of the Ghost type are covered by the resistances of the {{t|Dark}}-type, and vice-versa, so their combination, seen in the Pokémon {{p|Sableye}} and {{p|Spiritomb}}, has no weaknesses. However, this does not make for a perfect Pokémon. There is always the possibility for the immunities of the Ghost- and Dark-types to be removed via certain moves, such as {{m|Foresight}}, {{m|Odor Sleuth}}, and {{m|Miracle Eye}}, creating a weakness, or neutrality in the case of the latter. The lack of weaknesses is also offset by the lack of any resistances beyond resisting Poison (an uncommon type offensively) and the three immunities to Psychic, Fighting and Normal (which can be removed, as mentioned above).

===Contest properties===
When used in Contests, Ghost-type moves typically become [[Smart Contest|Smart]] moves, but some may be [[Cute Contest|Cute]] or [[Tough Contest|Tough]] moves.

==Pokémon==
As of Generation V, there are 27 Ghost-type Pokémon or 4.16% of all Pokémon, making it the least common of the seventeen types.

==Trivia==
* There were no pure Ghost-type species in [[Generation I]].
* In Generation I, Ghost-type moves had no effect on Psychic-type Pokémon, though an abundance of evidence suggests that this may have been an error. Multiple sources mention that Ghost-type moves are super effective on Psychic-type Pokémon: official strategy guides published by Nintendo, two episodes of the {{pkmn|anime}} ([[EP023|''The Tower of Terror'']] and [[EP024|''Haunter versus Kadabra'']]), and even the games themselves, where a Trainer in the [[Saffron Gym]] mentions that Psychic-type Pokémon "only fear {{t|Bug}}s and Ghosts" (though the reference to Ghost-type Pokémon was removed in Yellow). This was changed in [[Generation II]] to make Ghost moves actually be super effective against Psychic Pokémon.
* There are no Ghost-type moves that have an {{stat|accuracy}} lower than 100%.
* While the Ghost type has an immunity to Normal-type moves, several damaging moves that display as Normal can affect them, including {{m|Hidden Power}} and {{m|Struggle}}.
* There are no pure Ghost-type Pokémon that evolve into a dual-type Pokémon.
* The only Ghost-type move with more than 80 base power is {{m|Shadow Force}}, exclusive to {{p|Giratina}}.
** {{m|Hex}}, however, will have a base power of 100 if the target is inflicted with a status ailment.
* All [[Generation V]] fully evolved Ghost-type Pokémon are used by [[Shauntal]] of the {{DL|Elite Four|Unova Elite Four}}.
* The Ghost type is the only type that, when paired, can have a double weakness to itself, through the hypothetical Ghost/{{t|Psychic}} pairing. {{t|Dragon}}, the other type that is super effect against itself, is super effective against only itself.
* Generation V introduced the most Ghost-type Pokémon of any generation, with nine and Generation II introduced the fewest Ghost-type Pokémon, with only {{p|Misdreavus|one}}.
* Generation II introduced the most Ghost-type moves of any generation, with five and Generation V introduced the fewest Ghost-type moves, with only {{m|Hex|one}}.
* The Ghost type is the only type immune to two types.
* In {{g|Mystery Dungeon}}, most Ghost-type Pokémon can naturally move through walls. While on a wall tile, they cannot be attacked but can attack their foes, and their {{DL|Stats|Belly}} empties at a rate of 5 per turn.

BlazeBigBang: /* Trivia */

{{Types}}
The '''Ghost type''' (Japanese: '''ゴーストタイプ''' ''Ghost type'') is one of the seventeen [[type]]s. Notable Pokémon Trainers that specialize in Ghost-type Pokémon are [[Agatha]] of the [[Kanto]] [[Elite Four]], [[Morty]] of [[Ecruteak City]], [[Phoebe]] of the [[Hoenn]] Elite Four, [[Fantina]] of [[Hearthome City]], and [[Shauntal]] of the [[Unova]] Elite Four. Prior to Generation IV, where moves are designated [[Physical move|physical]] or [[Special move|special]] based on the move itself rather than its type, all Ghost-type moves were physical.

==Characteristics==
The Ghost type is the smallest [[type]] in the game, with few additions in each new Pokémon game. They are also unique in the fact that they have a type-specific attack: {{m|Curse}}, which, other than being the only {{type|???}} move before the type was removed in [[Generation V]], works differently for Ghost-type Pokémon than it does for other Pokémon.

===Offense===
Ghost-type Pokémon are used mainly to inflict status effects, like {{status|confusion}} or {{status|paralysis}}. Most Ghost-type moves cause some sort of effect or a [[status ailment]]. They are a good type to use in Pokémon battling, because of their possession of all-around good attacks, such as {{m|Shadow Claw}} and {{m|Shadow Ball}}. Also, there is no Pokémon that resists a combination of {{t|Fighting}}- and Ghost-type moves, as the only combination capable of this ([[Normal]]/Ghost) has never materialized.

===Defense===
The weaknesses of the Ghost type are covered by the resistances of the {{t|Dark}}-type, and vice-versa, so their combination, seen in the Pokémon {{p|Sableye}} and {{p|Spiritomb}}, has no weaknesses. However, this does not make for a perfect Pokémon. There is always the possibility for the immunities of the Ghost- and Dark-types to be removed via certain moves, such as {{m|Foresight}}, {{m|Odor Sleuth}}, and {{m|Miracle Eye}}, creating a weakness, or neutrality in the case of the latter. The lack of weaknesses is also offset by the lack of any resistances beyond resisting Poison (an uncommon type offensively) and the three immunities to Psychic, Fighting and Normal (which can be removed, as mentioned above).

===Contest properties===
When used in Contests, Ghost-type moves typically become [[Smart Contest|Smart]] moves, but some may be [[Cute Contest|Cute]] or [[Tough Contest|Tough]] moves.

==Pokémon==
As of Generation V, there are 27 Ghost-type Pokémon or 4.16% of all Pokémon, making it the least common of the seventeen types.

'''Red''' (Japanese: '''レッド''' ''Red'') is the [[canon]] name of the {{player|player character}} in the [[Generation I]] games {{game4|Red|Green|Blue|Yellow}} and the male choice in their [[Generation III]] remakes {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, where his female counterpart is {{ga|Leaf}}.

Red is known throughout [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]] as the {{pkmn|Champion}} from [[Pallet Town]], as well as for his defeat of [[Team Rocket]] in Kanto during his quest. He is the final opponent in the [[Generation II]] games {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, their [[Generation IV]] remakes {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, and {{g|Stadium 2}}.

==In the games==
Red is introduced as a curious 11-year-old boy from [[Pallet Town]]. In the instruction manuals of Pokémon Red, Green, and Blue Versions, Red gained an interest in Pokémon after his best friend, {{ga|Blue}}, stopped playing with him and became a bully. His adventure begins one day when [[Professor Oak]] calls the two to his lab for a choice of a [[starter Pokémon]], the last three Pokémon Oak owns. Blue challenges Red to a battle immediately, to test out his new Pokémon, thinking he will easily beat Red.

After Red has journeyed to [[Viridian City]] to the north and taken [[Oak's Parcel|a package]] back to Oak in Pallet, Oak gives Red and Blue each a [[Pokédex]] with which to record data on all known Pokémon in the Kanto region. From here, Red and Blue journey across Kanto, collecting Pokémon to build up their teams, and defeating each of the [[Gym Leader]]s in turn, with Blue always one step ahead, showing up from time to time to impede Red's progress.
Red also comes across a gang of Pokémon thieves, [[Team Rocket]], several times through his journey, defeating a group of {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s who are trying to steal [[Fossil]]s from [[Mt. Moon]], a member who is running the [[Nugget Bridge]] challenge to recruit for the organization on {{rt|24|Kanto}}, and another lone member who has stolen a [[TM]] from a family in [[Cerulean City]]. Eventually, Red uncovers a plot by Team Rocket, infiltrating their [[Rocket Hideout|hideout]] beneath the [[Celadon Game Corner]] and encountering their boss, [[Giovanni]]. Defeating him and ousting Team Rocket from Celadon, Red uses the [[Silph Scope]] that Giovanni leaves behind to battle {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon and save [[Mr. Fuji]] in the [[Pokémon Tower]] in [[Lavender Town]], who is being held hostage by a trio of Grunts. Red soon journeys into Saffron City in the heart of Kanto to find it overrun by Team Rocket, who is attempting to take the recently-invented [[Master Ball]] from the [[Silph Co.]] President, and defeats Giovanni again, ending the group's plots for the time being.

With seven Badges in hand, Red encounters Giovanni for the final time—this time as the [[Gym Leader|Leader]] of the [[Viridian Gym]], his final obstacle before the [[Elite Four]] of [[Indigo Plateau]]. Red defeats him in battle, earning his eighth and final Badge—the {{Badge|Earth}}—and causing Giovanni to realize that he has no chance at reviving Team Rocket if he cannot defeat Red. He disbands the organization, promising to go into solo training to better himself.

Making it through {{ka|Victory Road}} and finally to Indigo Plateau, Red defeats the Elite Four and discovers, to his surprise, that Blue has defeated them before him and is the {{pkmn|Champion}}. Red defeats Blue in the final battle, becoming the Champion himself, but then continues his training, rather than staying at Indigo Plateau. Encountering an offshoot of Team Rocket in the southern [[Sevii Islands]], lead by Executive [[Archer]], Red reveals with his Earth Badge that Giovanni has disbanded the organization, and, though defeated, the group there intends to revive Team Rocket and bring Giovanni back, having already made plans to force Pokémon to evolve with radio waves. Red continues as a wandering Trainer, eventually making his way to the caves of [[Mt. Silver]], where he trains his Pokémon alone.

Eventually, {{ga|Ethan}}, {{ga|Kris}}, or {{ga|Lyra}} arrives at Mt. Silver and challenges Red, identified only as a [[Pokémon Trainer]]. If defeated, Red vanishes from Mt. Silver, and returns every time the Elite Four is defeated again by the player of Gold, Silver, Crystal, HeartGold, or SoulSilver.

===Pokémon===
As the player character, Red can have on his team any of the 151 Pokémon available during [[Generation I]]. In [[Generation III]], he can have any of the 386 Pokémon available at that time, though only after the player has obtained the [[National Pokédex]].

When he is encountered as an opponent in [[Generation II]] and [[Generation IV]], Red has a set team, based on Generation I in-game event Pokémon, and has the highest leveled trained Pokémon yet encountered in the series, with his {{p|Pikachu}} at level 81 in Generation II and at level 88 in Generation IV.

All of Red's Pokémon have perfect, or 31, [[individual values]].

==In the [[Super Smash Bros.]] series==

===Super Smash Bros. Melee===
Red's hat appears in [[Super Smash Bros. Melee]] as an alternate outfit worn by {{p|Pikachu}}, possibly in reference to the anime or [[Pokémon Adventures]].

===Super Smash Bros. Brawl===
{{main|Pokémon Trainer (Super Smash Bros.)}}
Red himself appears as a playable character in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]], named only as "Pokémon Trainer", with a team consisting of {{p|Squirtle}}, {{p|Ivysaur}}, and {{p|Charizard}}. Rather than fighting himself, like the other human characters, Red sends his three Pokémon into battle, switching between them in order. He is voiced by [[Michele Knotz]] in the English version and 半場友恵 ''[[Tomoe Hanba]]'' in the Japanese version.

==In other games==
Red makes an appearance in both [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]]. While he does not appear in the games' Story Mode, he is playable in the Battle Mode when a FireRed or LeafGreen cartridge is used, with a male player character chosen. He can take on the Mt. Battle's 100-battle challenge, as well as compete in Colosseum battles. Red also made a brief appearance in the debut trailer of [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]], having a [[Double Battle|Double Battle]] against {{ga|Leaf}}, using a {{p|Deoxys}} on its Attack Forme and a {{p|Wailord}}. Despite this, he didn't appear in the final cut of the game.

==In the TFG==
{{TFG ID|Next Quest|Red|42}} appears as a common Trainer figure in the launch set, {{TFG|Next Quest}}, of the [[Pokémon Trading Figure Game]].

==In the anime==
{{main|Ash Ketchum}}
[[File:Ash catches a Pokemon.png|thumb|250px|right|Ash Ketchum, Red's anime counterpart]]
While Red himself does not appear in the anime, his counterpart, introduced in the [[EP001|first episode]], is the anime's main character, Ash Ketchum. Like Red, Ash is from Pallet Town, on a journey to become a Pokémon Master. Unlike Red, Ash's journey did not end with Kanto, and Ash has continued through every other region introduced in the [[main series]] games, as well as the [[Orange Archipelago]] south of Kanto, taking the place of the player characters of Generation II during Johto, and being joined by the anime counterparts of {{ga|May}} and {{ga|Dawn}} during the Hoenn and Sinnoh sagas. Instead of starting with one of the standard three Kanto starters, however, Ash began his journey with a {{AP|Pikachu}}, inspiring {{game|Yellow}}'s creation, as well as causing some to consider Red and Ash to be the same person, most especially due to Red owning {{ga|Red's Pikachu|one}} as well.

==In the manga==
Red, like most player characters, also has counterparts in the various Pokémon manga, with {{adv|Red}} from the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, {{Zensho|Satoshi}} from [[Pokémon Zensho]] manga, [[Isamu Akai]] from [[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]] manga, and [[Shū]] from [[Pokémon Get da ze!]] manga being among them.

==Trivia==
* When Red is encountered in [[Mt. Silver]] during [[Generation II]], he has no speech, merely repeating an ellipsis before beginning the battle. This is a reference to the fact that during [[Generation I]] he is a silent protagonist, answering only "yes" or "no" questions. He also remains silent when confronted in [[Generation IV]].
**In {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, {{ga|Blue}} sarcastically calls him a ''chatty gossip''.
* Despite the ellipsis before battle, when talking to [[Copycat]], she says "<PLAYER>: Hello, do you like Pokémon?" implying that Red is speaking. However, this could be Copycat having nothing to mimic, so she's making up words.
* Much like there is minimal information on his {{Ash|anime counterpart}}'s father, Red's father is mentioned only in passing when examining a {{wp|Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES}} in the [[Celadon Department Store]].
* Until the release of {{game|Platinum}}, Red's team featured the highest-leveled opponent Pokémon a player could face outside of battle arenas such as the [[Pokémon Stadium (English)|Stadium series]] and the [[Battle Frontier]], with his {{ga|Red's Pikachu|Pikachu}} at level 81, beating the wild {{p|Arceus}} found at the [[Hall of Origin]] by one level. In Platinum, however, the {{ga|Barry|rival}}'s team receives a boost in level, putting his [[starter Pokémon]] at level 85, while wild {{p|Magikarp}} can be found in the [[Resort Area]] at up to level 100. Due to {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} giving Red's team a level boost as well, with his Pikachu topping the list at level 88, Red is again the highest-leveled Trainer opponent (though wild Magikarp still are the highest level opponent Pokémon).
** Although the rival's Pokémon were at a higher level, however, several of Red's Pokémon had higher stats, due to their species' higher [[base stats]], with his Charizard being the strongest (the rival's possible Infernape comes closest, mere points behind).
* In the [[Super Smash Bros.]] series, Pokémon Trainer is the second Pokémon character, after {{p|Pikachu}}, that didn't need to be unlocked.
*In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, somewhat ironically, Charizard is the slowest character, even though the {{p|Charmander}} evolution family has an exceptionally high Speed stat compared to the other two Kanto starters.
* Red's team in Generation II and Generation IV is based heavily on in-game events from [[Generation I]] and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}: {{p|Charizard}}, {{p|Venusaur}}, {{p|Blastoise}}, and {{p|Pikachu}} are the version mascots of the four Generation I games, and are as well available in all iterations of the Kanto storyline; {{p|Espeon}} could have been obtained as an {{p|Eevee}} in [[Celadon City]] (and serves as Blue's starter Pokémon in Pokémon Yellow), {{p|Lapras}} is given away by a [[Silph Co.]] employee shortly before Team Rocket is vanquished there, and two {{p|Snorlax}} are required to be caught or defeated to travel to [[Fuchsia City]] (in [[Generation II]] and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, only one Snorlax is found blocking the way in Kanto, indicating a possible connection that Red caught one and defeated the other).
** Likewise, the four version mascots Red owns all know their [[signature move]]s: Venusaur, Charizard, and Blastoise know {{m|Frenzy Plant}}, {{m|Blast Burn}} and {{m|Hydro Cannon}} respectively, while Pikachu knows {{m|Volt Tackle}}.
** Red's Pikachu's four moves are the same four moves that [[Ash's Pikachu]] used most recently in the anime as of the release of HeartGold and SoulSilver: {{m|Volt Tackle}}, {{m|Quick Attack}}, {{m|Iron Tail}}, and {{m|Thunderbolt}}.
** Red's Generation II team was also the same as that of Red in the Pokémon Adventures manga during his venture to Mt. Silver - while he didn't ''own'' Charizard and Blastoise, he borrowed them for a time from {{adv|Blue}} and {{adv|Green}} respectively. However, Red did not own a Lapras as he does in Generation IV.
* An unused default name for Red in the English [[Generation I]] games was "[[Nintendo|NINTEN]]". Conversely, {{ga|Blue}}'s unused default name is "{{wp|Sony|SONY}}". While normally unviewable, changing a few addresses within the game's code can allow for these names to appear as shown [http://acmlm.kafuka.org/board/thread.php?pid=18912#18912 here]. This references the fact that in the years surrounding the releases of the Generation I games, Sony was Nintendo's main competition. Also Ninten is the default name of the main protagonist of Mother, another Nintendo game. Many people who worked on Mother also worked on Pokemon.
* Hidden name data for Red in the Japanese [[Generation I]] games include: やまぐち ''Yamaguchi'' for the player and いしはら ''Ishihara'' for the rival in {{game|Red and Green|s}}. Yamaguchi refers to [[Wataru Yamaguchi]], an art director on the original games, while Ishihara refers to [[Tsunekaz Ishihara]], who is now the head of [[The Pokémon Company]]. In [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|Pokémon Blue]], the player's unused default name is ゲーフリ ''Gēfuri'', an abbreviation of [[Game Freak]]'s Japanese name ゲームフリーク ''Gēmu Furīku''. As for the rival, his name is クリチャ ''Kuricha'', in what it seems a reference to [[Creatures, Inc.]] As for {{game|Yellow}}, it preserved the rival's name from Pokémon Blue; however, for an unknown reason, the player's name was subtly altered by gaining an extra digit, becoming "ゲーフリ１". For more information, see [http://mltreq.alwaysdata.net/i/default-names this article].
* The majority of his Japanese default names from {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}} are shared with {{ga|Ethan}} and {{ga|Lucas}}. The same holds true for their {{ga|Leaf|respective}} {{ga|Lyra|female}} {{ga|Dawn|counterparts}}.
* All three Kanto starter Pokémon used in his [[Generation II]] battle have the moves that appeared on their {{TCG|Base Set}} cards.
* In HeartGold and SoulSilver, apart from his Venusaur and Blastoise being fully evolved, Red's team is identical to that of Ash Ketchum throughout most of the [[Pokémon: Adventures in the Orange Islands|Orange Islands]] anime arc ([[Ash's Bulbasaur]] and {{AP|Squirtle}} were at the time, and still are presently, in their base forms).
* Meganium and Jolteon are the only two of Red's female Pokémon in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]].
* Red's Generation II sprite is a colorized and mirrored version of his sprite from {{game|Yellow}}. The same thing occurred to his rival, {{ga|Blue}}.
* In HeartGold and SoulSilver, Red is the only Trainer in-game who uses the battle transition effect from Generation II.
* Red and all of his Anime/Manga counterparts owns a Pikachu, excluding {{Zensho|Satoshi}} from Pokemon Zensho who evolved it into a Raichu.
* In the Pokemon World Tournament in Pokemon Black & White 2 his sprite looks more to Ash than to other generations Red.
