== Jotun? ==

Is it possible that AZ might be based of a Jotun? (forgot how to spell it.) For those who don't know, they are giants that exist in Norse myth, which various aspects of X and Y are based off.--[[User:BigBadBatter|BigBadBatter]] ([[User talk:BigBadBatter|talk]]) 00:39, 8 November 2013 (UTC)

== AZ's Floette ==
Is AZ's Floette is the same as the [[Floette]] that was revealed by a hacker a few weeks back? - {{unsigned|Sage1661}}
**Possibly, but it can't be posted unless it's comfirmed officially.[[User:BraviaryGirl23|BraviaryGirl23]] ([[User talk:BraviaryGirl23|talk]]) 00:02, 19 November 2013 (UTC)

== Spoiler alert? ==

I was thinking that we could have a toned downed version of the article. Both me and several friends were spoiled just by browsing through. [[User:Bobosmith01|~Bobo]] ([[User talk:Bobosmith01|talk]]) 22:50, 27 November 2013 (UTC)

'''Darkrai''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ダークライ''' ''Darkrai'') is a {{type|Dark}} [[legendary Pokémon]].

It is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon.

It was first officially revealed in February 2007.

It is a member of the [[lunar duo]] with {{p|Cresselia}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
[[File:Darkrai legs.png|thumb|left|200px|Darkrai's legs]]
Darkrai is a black, shadow-like creature. It has a small head with a white fog-like ghostly substance billowing from its head covering one of its bright blue eyes, with the portion on its face resembling hair. It also has a red spiky growth around its neck. It has skinny arms and long black tatters hanging from its shoulders. It also has black, claw-like hands. It has the slight appearance of an hourglass figure and appears to be wearing an old, ripped cloak. It normally doesn't have any sort of legs, but it is able to extend stilt-like appendages in their place. In self-defense, Darkrai also appears capable of retracting its head and white "plume" into the pit atop its torso fringed by the aforementioned red growth.

====Gender differences====
Darkrai is a genderless species.

===Special abilities===
Darkrai is known for its ability to put people and Pokémon in endless nightmares only stopped if close to a lunar wing from {{p|Cresselia}}. It can become a shadow and escape danger or contact of humans, but it is still capable to take damage by special attacks (e.g.: {{m|Thunderbolt}}, {{m|Flamethrower}}, {{m|Water Pulse}}, etc.) in this state. It is also capable of little human speech. In ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'', it was shown its power was little of that of {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}.

Darkrai is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that learns {{m|Dark Void}}.
 

===Behavior===
This Pokémon "inhabits" people's dreams and causes them to have unending terrible nightmares. In Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, it is stated that the only way a person can wake from one of these nightmares is to be exposed to the [[Lunar Wing]] of {{p|Cresselia}}. Contrary to popular belief, this "unleashing of nightmares" is in fact a defense mechanism, rather than something of malicious intent. Also, in the anime at least, these nightmares are not never-ending, as most victims are able to wake up normally, though it appears if Dark Void is used they cannot until the attack wears off.

In the [[M10|10th movie]], Darkrai tried to protect [[Alamos Town]] from being destroyed by {{mov|Dialga}} and {{mov|Palkia}} and sacrificed itself in the process, although by the end of the movie it was revived. {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness}}, however, portrays a Darkrai with a much more evil character, who wants a world enshrouded in darkness, going to the edge of almost destroying time and space to accomplish that. However, after it is recruited, it shows surprising loyalty, even going as far as to say that it will never leave the player, no matter the danger. This is mainly due to the fact that Darkrai lost its memory when it was attacked by {{p|Palkia}} while trying to escape through a dimensional hole. It is worth noting that this Darkrai's personality after being attacked by Palkia is similar to the original Darkrai, who was very loyal to those it cared about.

As seen in its [[DP104|first appearance in an episode]], Darkrai do not only cause nightmares, they are also attracted to them. They also go around objects they are attracted to several times, as seen in the mentioned episode and [[Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia]].

===Habitat===
Whilst Darkrai isn't nesting in the realm of human dreams, it lingers around a lost island called [[Newmoon Island]], which can only be reached by using a [[Member Card]] in [[Canalave City]] at the Harbor Inn above the [[Pokémon Center]].

After the battle with Darkrai on Newmoon Island in {{v2|Platinum}}, the following text appears on screen:

"''...A voice called out from somewhere...''

''???: DARKRAI... Your power is strong. Though you don't will it, you make people and Pokémon around you see terrible nightmares... That is why you came here... Newmoon Island... There is no one but you here... There is none that can be drawn into your nightmare... If anyone were to fall into a nightmare, the [[Fullmoon Island]] is close by... ... ...''"

This reveals that Darkrai chooses to inhabit Newmoon Island due to its immense, uncontrollable power, as well as because of the island's closeness to Fullmoon Island, the home of {{p|Cresselia}}, who is capable of healing those inflicted by Darkrai's nightmares. Though it is never revealed whose voice this was, it is possible that it was the effect of Cresselia's psychic powers. It also is speculated to be the voice of {{p|Arceus}}. The fact that Darkrai chooses to protect others from its power is similar to {{p|Lugia}} and how it resides at the bottom of the sea in deep slumber in order to not cause unintended damage.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Darkrai possibly feeds off dreams, characterized by its association with never-ending nightmares and the ability to learn the move {{m|Dream Eater}}.

==In the anime==
[[File:Tobias Darkrai.png|thumb|250px|Darkrai in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Darkrai (M10)]]====
{{OBP|Darkrai|M10}} starred in ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'' as the hero of the movie, taking the task of holding off the fighting between {{mov|Dialga}} and {{mov|Palkia}} until {{Ash}} and {{an|Dawn}} could put the [[Oración]] disk in the Space-Time Tower music player to calm the fighting between Palkia and Dialga. It reappeared in a cameo in the end credits of ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]''.

====Other====
Darkrai made its {{pkmn|anime}} debut in ''[[DP104|Sleepless In Pre-Battle!]]''. Unlike the Darkrai in the film, this Darkrai was causing nightmares, much like in the {{pkmn|games}}. According to [[Officer Jenny]], it comes at a certain time every year. In the episode, however, it came earlier due to it being lured by {{TRT}}'s machine that was ''causing'' nightmares. Cresselia is normally in the same place as Darkrai to stop it giving nightmares but due to Darkrai's early coming, the people in [[Canalave City]] had nightmares for several days. One night, it was concealing itself when {{p|Cresselia}} used its abilities to reveal it from the darkness. The two then battled and Darkrai hid itself once more in the shadows.

In ''[[DP183|League Unleashed!]]'', a mysterious Trainer in the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]] was shown to have a Darkrai. In [[DP184|the following episode]], [[Conway]] revealed that the Trainer, {{si|Tobias}}, had easily defeated all eight [[Gym]]s of Sinnoh using only Darkrai. In the Sinnoh League semi-finals, this Darkrai easily defeated Ash's Heracross, Torkoal, and Gible. However, it was defeated by [[Ash's Sceptile]] in ''[[DP189|The Semi-Final Frontier!]]''.

==In the manga==
[[File:Sird Darkrai.png|thumb|200px|Darkrai in Pokémon Adventures]]
===In The Rise of Darkrai manga===
{{main|Darkrai (M10)}}
Darkrai appeared in the manga adaptation of ''{{ma|The Rise of Darkrai}}''.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
Darkrai was first seen in the {{chap|FireRed & LeafGreen}}, where it used by [[Sird]] to combat {{adv|Mewtwo}}, when it and five of the [[Pokédex holder]]s attempted to stop her from recapturing {{Adv|Deoxys}}. The powerful clash between the Genetic Pokémon and the Pitch-Black Pokémon caused the petrification of {{adv|Red}}, {{adv|Blue}}, {{adv|Green}}, {{adv|Yellow}}, and {{adv|Silver}}.

Darkrai later reappeared in the {{chap|Platinum}}, where it was revealed that Sird had released it into the Distortion World. [[Charon]] later took control of the Pokémon, and, along with Giratina and Heatran, used it in a battle against the other Sinnoh legendary Pokémon in the climax of the chapter. Darkrai was later freed from the control of Charon, and departed to parts unknown.

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
{{spoilers}}
* {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness}}: {{mdc|Darkrai|2}} is revealed to be the main antagonist of the game in the post-game story. He wants to cover the world in darkness, and was behind the collapse of the Temporal Tower in the main storyline of the game. His interference is also the reason the player was separated from {{p|Grovyle}} and turned into a Pokémon. In the post-game story, he turns his attention to distorting the fabric of space to cover the world in darkness.
* [[PokéPark 2: Wonders Beyond]]: Darkrai is the main antagonist in the game. He resided in [[Wish Park]] and wants to merge the Wish Park with PokéPark.

==Trivia==
* Darkrai is tied with {{p|Weavile}} for the highest base {{stat|Speed}} of all Dark-types.
* As of [[Generation V]], Darkrai's [[effort values|EV]] yield (2 Sp. Atk, 1 Speed) is unique.
* Darkrai has two different portrait pictures in {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness}}, and {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky}} as well.
* Sailor [[Eldritch]]'s son says ''"<sc>Dar... Dark...</sc> Is watching me..."'' in his sleep before the player cures his nightmare. It is assumed that he is talking about Darkrai, as it is known to give its victims horrific nightmares.
** If Darkrai ''was'' the cause of the sailor's son's nightmares, it can be assumed Darkrai is aware that the player cured the boy using {{p|Cresselia}}'s [[Lunar Wing]]. When the player takes the [[Member Card]] to the Harbor Inn, the innkeeper (presumably an illusion created by Darkrai) states that he has been waiting for the player's arrival.
* In the early Japanese versions of {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}, Darkrai can be caught with the [[Surf glitch]]. However, this glitch was fixed in other language versions. [[Tweaking|Another glitch]] has been discovered that allows players of other language releases to reach Darkrai without the Member Card.
** This has been remedied in {{game|Platinum}}, however, as Darkrai itself will not appear on the island without the event ticket.
* If Darkrai is put to sleep in [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]] and [[Pokémon Black and White]], its eyes will remain open. It shares this trait with {{p|Heatran}}.

===Origin===
Resembling a {{wp|shadow}}, Darkrai's appearance suggests it is based on the concept of {{wp|nightmares}}. It may have been inspired by the old Arabic myths about {{wp|genie}}s (or {{wp|jinn}}) or the {{wp|Bogeyman}}. Darkrai could also be based on the concept of {{wp|Morpheus}}, the Greek god responsible for shaping dreams.

====Name origin====
Darkrai is a combination of ''dark'', and 暗い ''kurai'' (dark) or "rai" (Hindi for king).

'''The Kangaskhan Kid''' (Japanese: '''ガルーラのこもりうた''' ''{{tt|Garura's|Kangaskhan's}} Lullaby'') is the 34th episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It was first broadcast in Japan on November 18, 1997 and in the United States on October 22, 1998.

{{spoilers}}

==Blurb==

On their way to a safari zone teeming with Pokémon, our heroes walk right into the middle of a jungle. Without knowing they are in a region in which Pokémon are protected, Ash tries to capture a Chansey and is arrested by Jenny, the safari ranger. After talking with the ranger, Ash is released, but not before he learns that there are Pokémon poachers in the area. Our heroes accompany the ranger into the forest, pursuing the poachers. Within the jungle, a young man leads a pack of Kangaskhan. His name is Tommy and no one knows the secret of his childhood.

==Plot==
The episode begins with {{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}} thinking that they are in the Safari Zone, and Ash spots a {{p|Chansey}} in a bush. He gets ready to throw a {{ball|Poké}}; however, the Chansey turns out to be [[Officer Jenny|Ranger Jenny]] in a Chansey hat. She points a rifle at Ash then arrests him for Pokémon poaching. She takes the group back to the station and explains that they are in a Pokémon Preservation Area where it's illegal to catch Pokémon.

Ash tells Officer Jenny he didn't know, so Jenny lets them off with a warning. Almost immediately, she sees a red dot on her radar, signaling that there are more poachers; Ash offers for him and the group to help. Jenny accepts, and the whole group travels to the location by the jeep that she drove them to the station in. They drive up to find {{TRT}} trying to capture a group of {{p|Kangaskhan}}. Ash looks at his [[Pokédex]], which says the Kangaskhan charge when in danger until they feel their young are safe. Team Rocket fires a rocket and scares all the Kangaskhan, making them charge towards the jeep. The group manages to escape, but Team Rocket traps all the Kangaskhan in a net.

Jessie throws a Poké Ball, but it is hit by a boomerang and sent flying back at her. Suddenly, a kid begins to yell, cutting the net and setting the Kangaskhan free. The Kangaskhan attack Team Rocket, blasting them off.

The kid jumps into the pouch of the biggest Kangaskhan. A helicopter soon lands and two adults come out, saying they heard a report of their missing child in the area. They all go back to the station and they hear that Tommy, or Tomo, is living in the area. Ash, Brock, Misty, and {{AP|Pikachu}} leave the jeep and go look around for the infant Kangaskhan that should be in the pouch Tommy was riding in. They manage to find it, and give it a {{DL|Potion|Super Potion}} since it is injured.

The kid sees the infant in pain when the Potion stings its wound slightly, thinks they are hurting the infant Kangaskhan, and he jumps down. He then asks Misty, "You people or Pokémon?" Misty punches him and says that they are people. The two adults who earlier claimed to be Tommy's parents run over and talk to Tommy thinking he will remember them. He doesn't at first and claims the Kangaskhan are his family. His father smacks Tommy with a piece of wood, hoping that it will knock the memory of his parents back into his head. He remembers his mom, but not his father. His father opens his shirt and Misty smacks the father with a piece of wood, saying, "One memory at a time!" Jenny rushes back because her radar shows more poachers, and Tommy runs to the Kangaskhan to help.

They find a [[Team Rocket's mechas|giant robot Kangaskhan]] made by Team Rocket. It pretends to be injured to persuade the other Kangaskhan to go help it, but their leader tries to stop them because it senses something amiss. However, they ignore their leader and go to help the "injured" robot anyway so, the trap works, and they are all hit by tranquilizers and fall asleep. The leader goes to take revenge on Team Rocket but is hit as well.

Ash then brings out his Pokémon: {{AP|Bulbasaur}} and he uses {{m|Vine Whip}} and {{AP|Squirtle}} tries {{m|Skull Bash}}, neither work. Team Rocket powers up for an attack, but the Kangaskhan break free. Pikachu and Charmander come out while Tommy throws his boomerang, when hits the fuel tank cover knocking the gasoline out, and Charmander's fire sets it ablaze. Though the robot is on fire, it doesn't slow it down.

Suddenly, the helicopter comes in and crashes into the mechanical Kangaskhan. It explodes, and Team Rocket "blasts off again". Tommy thinks his parents are dead and begins to cry, but they get up. They are revealed to be wearing similar things as Tommy and they say they will join Tommy, much to Tommy's delight.

The episode ends with Tommy, his parents, and the infant Kangaskhan in the leader's pouch waving goodbye as Ash and his friends are leaving.

==Trivia==
* The character of Tommy may be based on that of {{wp|Tarzan}} or {{wp|Mowgli}}.
* The events of this episode are later referenced in the beginning of ''[[EP039|Pikachu's Goodbye]]''.
* Officer Jenny aims a rifle directly at Ash in this episode and James shoots tranquilizers into Pokémon with a tranquilizer gun, yet a similar occurrence with firearms in the next [[EP035|episode]] resulted in it being banned outside of Japan.
* This episode marks the second time Jessie is hit in the face with a Poké Ball, the first being in ''[[EP023|The Tower of Terror]]''.
* During a scene where Tomo flashes back on his early childhood and recalls an evening scene with the Kangaskhan herd, the original Japanese audio was left in. The lullaby sung by the Kangaskhan through their Japanese name, Garura, can be heard.

===Errors===
* In the beginning, the Narrator says that Ash and his friends are in the Safari Zone, but in actuality, they are in the Pokémon Reserve.
* During the scene where the Tangela walks by Ash, Misty, and Brock, Ash's Japanese voice can be heard.
===Dub edits===

* When Ash, Misty and Brock first encounter Tommy, the gag of Misty telling Tommy to apologize was changed for the dubbed English version. In the original Japanese version, Tommy spaces out and stares at Misty's breasts which the camera zooms in on. Afterwards she asks "What's up?" to which Tommy responds "Can I drink from your breast?" She gets very angry, and hits him, and says "How dare you say that?" For the dubbed English version, the shot of Misty's breasts was cut, and he asks "You people or Pokémon?" She gets very angry, hits him and says "I'm a person, you creep!" (However, the 'zooming' sound effect can still be heard.)
* Similarly, a scene with Tommy's father was also edited: Shortly after Tommy regains his memories, he says "Hey Tommy, remember Papa?" while opening his shirt, only for Misty to whack him on the head, feeling that Tommy has enough issues as it is. In the Japanese version, Tommy's father was actually asking whether Tommy remembers being breastfed, which explains why he was opening up his shirt, and Misty, still feeling sore about the breast references, knocks him out.
* While operating the robot Kangaskhan, James pulls a rope with a sign "Power Up!!" on it. Later he pulls another rope but the sign on it is blank when it should say "Super Punch".

Talk:Rage (move)

2013-11-09T18:45:48Z

Bobosmith01: /* PP? */

==Rage failure==

In D&P, just taught Rage to my Onix, but the Rage is failing to continue. Is it because my opponent isn't using attacking moves? - [[User:Cassius335|Cassius335]]
:And I thought some idiot would have remembered to add the [[Generation II]] modifications to this article way back when...

:Rage's effect changed in Generation II. The move is no longer continuous, and the effect won't activate if the user uses something else after using Rage. --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 01:07, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

:Ah. That makes it a lot less useful. Thanks. - [[User:Cassius335|Cassius335]]

It mentioned in Gen 1, Rage actually raised Attack. Does it raise Attack in Gen 2? If so, does the user lose the boost if they stop using Rage? [[User:Drake Clawfang|Drake Clawfang]] 03:32, 25 September 2009 (UTC)

==Doduo and Dodrio==

In the Generation I movelist, it doesn't show Doduo or Dodrio as getting STAB from Rage, despite them being part-Normal type. Any reason why? [[User:Mattachu|Mattachu]]
:Thanks for the catch. I changed it :) [[User:CuboneKing|Cu]][[User talk:CuboneKing|bo]][[Special:Contributions/CuboneKing|ne]][[Cubone (Pokémon)|King]] 01:46, 20 April 2010 (UTC)

== Attack boost ==

As asked in another section, Does bwing hit while using rage still increase the attack stat, or does the attack only raise it's own power? {{unsigned|Kendai}}

== breeding ==

On the page, for example, it says that houndour-primeape will result in a pokemon with rage.
Does the Houndour need to know rage or the Primape need to know it?
Also, which move (if any) gets replaced with rage?
[[User:Mpcamel1729|Origami is math for the hands. -Martin Grant, MathPath]] 02:16, 12 December 2011 (UTC)
:[[Breeding#Passing moves down]] [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 02:24, 12 December 2011 (UTC)
Thank you. That makes sense.
How do you 'reply' (the tabbing)?
[[User:Mpcamel1729|Origami is math for the hands. -Martin Grant, MathPath]] 02:32, 12 December 2011 (UTC)

== In the anime... ==

It was also used by Ash's Charizard (as a Charizard, as well as the Charmander usage noted already) in Charizard Chills. These sections tend to list every SPECIES to use them, even if they're from the same individual (for example Rock Climb lists Ash's Grotle and Torterra). I wouldn't know where to begin in trying to add it myself, however. {{unsigned|RiverShock}}
: That move was Dragon Rage in the original Japanese. It was incorrectly dubbed as Rage.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 11:22, 10 January 2013 (UTC)

== Is there a limit? ==

Besides generation 1, is there a limit to how high Rage's power can build? [[User:HyperHacker|⬡]] ([[User talk:HyperHacker|talk]]) 16:56, 28 October 2013 (UTC)
:In Generation V it is, since it uses the same counter as Swords Dance and such. [[User:Uploader|Uploader]] ([[User talk:Uploader|talk]]) 16:59, 28 October 2013 (UTC)
::So it's limited to 3 boosts? What about in older versions? [[User:HyperHacker|⬡]] ([[User talk:HyperHacker|talk]]) 01:40, 29 October 2013 (UTC)

== PP? ==

It says '50' 'Max 32'

What is it's real basic PP amount?

== Recent addition. ==

I highly doubt that's true. The attack move is "Hydro '''Cannon'''" so I believe cannon is where the attack comes from. [[User:TheBlazikenMaster|TheBlazikenMaster]] 23:21, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
:I agree as well. They don't design the sprites based off of what moves can be used. Otherwise "OMG LOOK AT HITMONLEE IT CAN LEARN KICKING MOVES BECAUSE IT'S KICKING IN THE SPRITE!" Its mouth is open, and Hydro Cannon just happens to be coming from that point. There's no special connection. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 23:33, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
::I have never seen Blastoise using its mouth for Hydro Pump in the anime. But you're right I know you are, I was just unsure if it was good trivia or not so I asked. [[User:TheBlazikenMaster|TheBlazikenMaster]] 23:38, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

:I know you didn't think of it before (me included), but it happened to me once and THEN I realized it. I think the name "Hydro Cannon" is correct, but I think it's to emphatize that is a move EXCLUSIVE to Blastoise, as blastoise is the only Water-type Pokémon with Cannons (remember that Blastoise ''was'' the only Pokémon able to learn it).
:I've uploaded a screenshot of it that clearly shows what I've said (although for some reason it does not appear yet). The Image is [http://archives.bulbagarden.net/w/upload/4/4d/DittoCannon.PNG here]
:I know it's weird that a move called "Cannon" is shot from its mouth instead, but do it for yourselves and trade to Hoenn-based games and it's the same thing, the attack comes out from its mouth! (I don't think it's a coincidence) '''[[User:Hfc2x|hfc]][[User talk:Hfc2x|2X]]''' 00:21, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
::That image doesn't prove anything, maybe it appears to you that it's doing it from its mouth, but it's just a sprite, and it looks that way. What I'd like to see is examples of Blastoise using its mouth in the anime. [[User:TheBlazikenMaster|TheBlazikenMaster]] 00:29, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
:::The anime will prove you nothing, as there Hydro Cannon does not exist. I know it's just a sprite, but it makes a big coincidence if you look at the attack in ALL Gen III games. I'm not saying that the attack will always come from its mouth, but in GBA games it does.
:::In Colosseun and XD, Hydro Cannon DOES come out from the cannons, and there you have another thing not shown in the anime... In the anime, Blastoise ALWAYS has its cannons outside its shell, but in the games, the cannons only come out to use Hydro Pump or Hydro Cannon, so don't rely on the anime to prove anything (remember that games DID come out much before the anime, so they still make the rules). '''[[User:Hfc2x|hfc]][[User talk:Hfc2x|2X]]''' 00:48, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
::::Actually Gary did order Blastoise to use Hydro Cannon in one of the D/P episodes, but I get your point and still think it only looks that way. [[User:TheBlazikenMaster|TheBlazikenMaster]] 01:09, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
:::::That's what I wanted to point in the trivia... that Gen III sprites interestingly (and coincidentally) make it shoot from its mouth... maybe someone could point it better than me. (Sorry if I'm not clear, but english is not my native language xD.) '''[[User:Hfc2x|hfc]][[User talk:Hfc2x|2X]]''' 01:18, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
Honestly, if we're going to use sprites for any moves of any kind, it should be 3-D games, because they atleast TRY to make the moves look realistic (PBR's contact moves actually ''making contact'' was a big jump, imo). [[User:Sk8torchic|Sk8torchic]] 14:59, 18 October 2008 (UTC)
:::I saw the bit about Exclusivly to Blastoise and got lost a bit. Hydro Cannon is exclusive to all Water Starters, not just Blastoise. The cannons in its shell have always been there for decoration purpose IMO. Besdies that the Cannon signifies the pressure for the attack. Look at it this way, Water Gun is the weakest only doing squirt like damage, Hydropump is like using a hose, Hydro Cannon is using a pressure washer. Also the bit about Blastoise always having its cannons out in the Anime is wrong, the cannons only appeared when it was ready to fire off one of its water attacks. I know the Elemental Hyperbeam attacks were issued out in the remake of Red and Blue games but if you brought over any of the other Water starters you can get Hydro Cannon with them. I agree fully with the They don't design Pokemon for certain moves bit though. [[user:Xanhawk|Xanhawk]] 22:27 Dec. 21, 2008

== Linking moves ==

Hello everyone, I am kinda new on this Bulbapedia thing, so I would appreciate it if someone can lend me a helping hand on how to link moves, I am having problems with the thing, sorry if I mess up anything.--[[User:Daniel's Raichu|Daniel's Raichu]] 12:06, 16 July 2010 (UTC)
:This isn't the best place to ask, but to link to a move article write <nowiki>{{m|Move name}}</nowiki>. —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 11:30, 17 July 2010 (UTC)
OK, Thanks for the help. --[[User:Daniel's Raichu|Daniel's Raichu]] 09:59, 20 July 2010 (UTC)

== Red and Green ==

Why are we using the Blastoise picture from [[Red and Green]]? Why not [[FireRed and LeafGreen]].
([[User:Holonboy|Holonboy]] 17:32, 1 September 2010 (UTC))

==Gamera==
For Blastoise's origin, isn't he based off Gamera (giant turtle in Japanese monster movies)too?{{unsigned|Pialga92}}
:Other than being a turtle, Blastoise and Gamera share NO similarities whatsoever. - [[User:050294|050294]] 23:48, 25 October 2010 (UTC)

== Sea Turtle and Tortoise?! ==

Blastoise is clearly a freshwater turtle.[[User:Bennell|Bennell]] 15:01, 25 March 2012 (UTC)
:Upon checking, this is clearly obvious. Maybe it was something that got overlooked during the process of translating. ''[[User:Frozen Fennec|Frozen]] [[User talk:Frozen Fennec|Fennec]]'' 04:16, 17 June 2012 (UTC)

== Shell ==

In the RBY sprites, the box around Blastoise's cannons looked more like raised "flaps" of the shell, but in the official art and in later sprites this was fixed. Could that be added in the trivia section, perhaps worded more eloquently? [[User:Sphericalice|Sphericalice]] ([[User talk:Sphericalice|talk]]) 20:34, 5 May 2013 (UTC)
:Sprite trivia are generally not notable unless there is a significant design difference (see vaporeon or (of course) Jynx). Also, I don't think that is a sprite error as, imo, it looks how it should just not perfect (begin Generation I and all).--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 02:13, 6 May 2013 (UTC)

== Blastoise Feet ==

I notice that Blastoise claws on its feet changing depending on the source. Some have 2 one the front, some have 3. I was wondering if this was something we should add [[User:Bobosmith01|~Bobo]] ([[User talk:Bobosmith01|talk]]) 04:31, 20 August 2013 (UTC)
:Looking over the sprites and artwork available on this page, it appears to have three claws on the front of its feet. Its the different angles that make it look like two. [[User:Crystal Talian|Crystal]] [[User talk:Crystal Talian|Talian]] 04:44, 20 August 2013 (UTC)

In ''Pokemon Adventures'', it looks like it has two claws on its feet-you can see the other side of the foot in the selection shown in the article-just barely. [[User:Bobosmith01|~Bobo]] ([[User talk:Bobosmith01|talk]]) 05:24, 20 August 2013 (UTC)

== Other Sprites. ==

The HG and SS sprites are identical to D/P/PL's, they need to be removed. Same with the Blastoise FR/LG front sprite. That's already there. I'm not sure how to do this, so can someone handle it? [[User:Bobosmith01|~Bobo]] ([[User talk:Bobosmith01|talk]]) 23:04, 4 November 2013 (UTC)

Do we know if the evolution is exclusive to [[Sinnoh]], as with [[Leafeon]] and [[Glaceon]]? [[User:Hellkaiserryo12|Hellkaiserryo12]] 18:25, 12 July 2009 (UTC)
:I'd wager that it isn't, but we won't know until HGSS come out. Technically you could say the same of any evolved/baby form of another Pokémon not native to Sinnoh.--[[User:RexRacer|'''Rex]][[User talk:RexRacer|Racer''']] 18:28, 12 July 2009 (UTC)
::I agree. Also, Gligar is a Generation II Pokémon, so I'd imagine they'd want to include him and Gliscor in HGSS. His evolution isn't really any different from Sneasel -> Weavile, and I'd wager that they would be included in the new game for sure. But, like RexRacer said, as likely as all of this is, we won't know for absolute sure until the games are released. [[User:Zesty Cactus|Zesty Cactus]] 18:31, 12 July 2009 (UTC)

This could also solve the "mystery" of Pokémon evolving through moves like ancient power. [[User:Hellkaiserryo12|Hellkaiserryo12]] 20:18, 12 July 2009 (UTC)

== Poison heal ==

Do you guy's think that his DW ability could be a reference to the fact that vampires often attack elderly people and they say that they're just sucking out the "poison" right before they bite into their jugular or carotid artery. {{unsigned|Windwolf777}}

== This bit of trivia ==

'''"Gliscor is one of only three Pokémon to have an exclamation point in one of its Pokédex entries. Girafarig and Torchic are the others, with the exclamation mark being in Girafarig's Gold, LeafGreen, HeartGold and Stadium 2 entry, and in Torchic's HeartGold and SoulSilver entries."'''

What about [[Mime Jr. (Pokémon)#Pok.C3.A9dex entries 2|Mime Jr.]]? Cheers, [[User:Haxorus|'''Hax''']][[User talk:Haxorus|'''or''']][[Special:MyContributions|'''us''']] 10:18, 26 March 2012 (UTC)
:Now that Mine Jr. is proven to have an exclamation point in its Dex entry I think the whole point of trivia is starting to become unnotable. I can add Mime Jr. to the list, but if it gets over five Pokémon with exclamation points, I think it should be scrapped IMO. [[User:Pokemaster97|--Pokemaster]][[User talk:Pokemaster97|97]] 21:08, 26 March 2012 (UTC)

'''Chesnaught''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ブリガロン''' ''Burigaron'') is a {{2t|Grass|Fighting}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Quilladin}} starting at level 36. It is the final form of {{p|Chespin}}.

==Biology==
Chesnaught are bipedal, mammalian Pokemon with some plant-like features. They possess a prominent domed, armor-like shell similar to that of a chestnut. The armor is pale beige in coloration with four large spines jutting out of the back. It has a trim around the edge consisting of red and green bands, with the green on the outermost edge. There is an additional spine protruding from the armor over each of Chesnaught's shoulders, which are connected by a green breastplate. Their bodies are colored similarly to the shell, and their long limbs and tail are banded with plates of armor. The top surfaces of the tail and arms are protected by green armor, and the arms have two small spines. They have three brown, clawed digits on their hands and feet. Chesnaught have fluffy white fur on their bellies and fringing their faces like a beard. They have a small, pink nose with a three-pointed patch of brown fur extending up their short snouts. They also have four pointed teeth and a plate of beige armor atop their heads, similar to a helmet.

== Hmmmmm ideas? ==

I am a poke'fan PERIOD. I like Mario too.

I have plenty ideas for video games, like Pokemon.
Here are some moves I created in my own version, yet to be complete, Pokemon ???...... OK Should the version names be: Torrent and Blaze or Typhoon and Flame.

Here are some new moves I CREATED! THESE ARE NOT REAL...YET!:
Toy's Command: Pyschic type move; Power:-- Special move; Accuracy:100
Messages:
Description: The users heart is over controlled and fulled with power and the user and the next Pokemon you send out faint. The third will get maximum stats in all but Eaviness and Accuracy.
Use move:[Pokemon's name] filled with power and control and casted a spell.
Fail: But it failed!

Drill Spin: Steeltype move: Power:75; Physical move; accuracy:35 Has a 90% chance of paralysing a opponent.
Regular miss fail and no start move text.
Summary: The user gains spinning energy and spins in the sky and quickly lands on the other Pokemon. May cause Paralysis on the other Pokemon.

Pure Balance: Power:-- Special move; accuracy-100; normal
Summary:All stats, INCLUDING eaviness and accuracy go back to normal.
The Opponent's Pokemon takes more damage the greater the difference in weight between the user.
Regular text, no special except for, "Stats have been revitalized!"

What do you think? What do you think about the moves? WHat do you think The versions name should be? [[User:Bobosmith01|~Bobo]] 16:04, 12 March 2011 (UTC)

EDIT: I came up with these when I was younger, posted them when I was younger. Not much younger, but still. I'm keeping them here for reference.

I highly doubt that's true. The attack move is "Hydro '''Cannon'''" so I believe cannon is where the attack comes from. [[User:TheBlazikenMaster|TheBlazikenMaster]] 23:21, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
:I agree as well. They don't design the sprites based off of what moves can be used. Otherwise "OMG LOOK AT HITMONLEE IT CAN LEARN KICKING MOVES BECAUSE IT'S KICKING IN THE SPRITE!" Its mouth is open, and Hydro Cannon just happens to be coming from that point. There's no special connection. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 23:33, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
::I have never seen Blastoise using its mouth for Hydro Pump in the anime. But you're right I know you are, I was just unsure if it was good trivia or not so I asked. [[User:TheBlazikenMaster|TheBlazikenMaster]] 23:38, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

:I know you didn't think of it before (me included), but it happened to me once and THEN I realized it. I think the name "Hydro Cannon" is correct, but I think it's to emphatize that is a move EXCLUSIVE to Blastoise, as blastoise is the only Water-type Pokémon with Cannons (remember that Blastoise ''was'' the only Pokémon able to learn it).
:I've uploaded a screenshot of it that clearly shows what I've said (although for some reason it does not appear yet). The Image is [http://archives.bulbagarden.net/w/upload/4/4d/DittoCannon.PNG here]
:I know it's weird that a move called "Cannon" is shot from its mouth instead, but do it for yourselves and trade to Hoenn-based games and it's the same thing, the attack comes out from its mouth! (I don't think it's a coincidence) '''[[User:Hfc2x|hfc]][[User talk:Hfc2x|2X]]''' 00:21, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
::That image doesn't prove anything, maybe it appears to you that it's doing it from its mouth, but it's just a sprite, and it looks that way. What I'd like to see is examples of Blastoise using its mouth in the anime. [[User:TheBlazikenMaster|TheBlazikenMaster]] 00:29, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
:::The anime will prove you nothing, as there Hydro Cannon does not exist. I know it's just a sprite, but it makes a big coincidence if you look at the attack in ALL Gen III games. I'm not saying that the attack will always come from its mouth, but in GBA games it does.
:::In Colosseun and XD, Hydro Cannon DOES come out from the cannons, and there you have another thing not shown in the anime... In the anime, Blastoise ALWAYS has its cannons outside its shell, but in the games, the cannons only come out to use Hydro Pump or Hydro Cannon, so don't rely on the anime to prove anything (remember that games DID come out much before the anime, so they still make the rules). '''[[User:Hfc2x|hfc]][[User talk:Hfc2x|2X]]''' 00:48, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
::::Actually Gary did order Blastoise to use Hydro Cannon in one of the D/P episodes, but I get your point and still think it only looks that way. [[User:TheBlazikenMaster|TheBlazikenMaster]] 01:09, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
:::::That's what I wanted to point in the trivia... that Gen III sprites interestingly (and coincidentally) make it shoot from its mouth... maybe someone could point it better than me.

Honestly, if we're going to use sprites for any moves of any kind, it should be 3-D games, because they atleast TRY to make the moves look realistic (PBR's contact moves actually ''making contact'' was a big jump, imo). [[User:Sk8torchic|Sk8torchic]] 14:59, 18 October 2008 (UTC)
:::I saw the bit about Exclusivly to Blastoise and got lost a bit. Hydro Cannon is exclusive to all Water Starters, not just Blastoise. The cannons in its shell have always been there for decoration purpose IMO. Besdies that the Cannon signifies the pressure for the attack. Look at it this way, Water Gun is the weakest only doing squirt like damage, Hydropump is like using a hose, Hydro Cannon is using a pressure washer. Also the bit about Blastoise always having its cannons out in the Anime is wrong, the cannons only appeared when it was ready to fire off one of its water attacks. I know the Elemental Hyperbeam attacks were issued out in the remake of Red and Blue games but if you brought over any of the other Water starters you can get Hydro Cannon with them. I agree fully with the They don't design Pokemon for certain moves bit though. [[user:Xanhawk|Xanhawk]] 22:27 Dec. 21, 2008

Hello everyone, I am kinda new on this Bulbapedia thing, so I would appreciate it if someone can lend me a helping hand on how to link moves, I am having problems with the thing, sorry if I mess up anything.--[[User:Daniel's Raichu|Daniel's Raichu]] 12:06, 16 July 2010 (UTC)
:This isn't the best place to ask, but to link to a move article write <nowiki>{{m|Move name}}</nowiki>. —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 11:30, 17 July 2010 (UTC)
OK, Thanks for the help. --[[User:Daniel's Raichu|Daniel's Raichu]] 09:59, 20 July 2010 (UTC)

== Red and Green ==

Why are we using the Blastoise picture from [[Red and Green]]? Why not [[FireRed and LeafGreen]].
([[User:Holonboy|Holonboy]] 17:32, 1 September 2010 (UTC))

==Gamera==
For Blastoise's origin, isn't he based off Gamera (giant turtle in Japanese monster movies)too?{{unsigned|Pialga92}}
:Other than being a turtle, Blastoise and Gamera share NO similarities whatsoever. - [[User:050294|050294]] 23:48, 25 October 2010 (UTC)

== Sea Turtle and Tortoise?! ==

Blastoise is clearly a freshwater turtle.[[User:Bennell|Bennell]] 15:01, 25 March 2012 (UTC)
:Upon checking, this is clearly obvious. Maybe it was something that got overlooked during the process of translating. ''[[User:Frozen Fennec|Frozen]] [[User talk:Frozen Fennec|Fennec]]'' 04:16, 17 June 2012 (UTC)

== Shell ==

In the RBY sprites, the box around Blastoise's cannons looked more like raised "flaps" of the shell, but in the official art and in later sprites this was fixed. Could that be added in the trivia section, perhaps worded more eloquently? [[User:Sphericalice|Sphericalice]] ([[User talk:Sphericalice|talk]]) 20:34, 5 May 2013 (UTC)
:Sprite trivia are generally not notable unless there is a significant design difference (see vaporeon or (of course) Jynx). Also, I don't think that is a sprite error as, imo, it looks how it should just not perfect (begin Generation I and all).--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 02:13, 6 May 2013 (UTC)

== Blastoise Feet ==

I notice that Blastoise claws on its feet changing depending on the source. Some have 2 one the front, some have 3. I was wondering if this was something we should add [[User:Bobosmith01|~Bobo]] ([[User talk:Bobosmith01|talk]]) 04:31, 20 August 2013 (UTC)
:Looking over the sprites and artwork available on this page, it appears to have three claws on the front of its feet. Its the different angles that make it look like two. [[User:Crystal Talian|Crystal]] [[User talk:Crystal Talian|Talian]] 04:44, 20 August 2013 (UTC)

In ''Pokemon Adventures'', it looks like it has two claws on its feet-you can see the other side of the foot in the selection shown in the article-just barely. [[User:Bobosmith01|~Bobo]] ([[User talk:Bobosmith01|talk]]) 05:24, 20 August 2013 (UTC)

Gigalith is a mainly blue-colored, quadruped Pokémon, with various spiny, crystal-like red features jutting out of its body. The joints of its limbs are gray-colored, and its limbs are topped with red crystal-like features, with the two claws on each limb being similar features. It now has a red eye inside each ear. Several of the crystalline features are present on Gigalith's face; three being below its eyes, one, in the middle, forming some kind of crest, and the other crystals to the sides of its head.

==Trivia==
* Gigalith was first seen in a triple battle with teammates {{p|Reuniclus}} and {{p|Gothitelle}} against {{p|Blitzle}}, {{p|Darmanitan}} and {{p|Drilbur}}, during an Oha Suta episode which aired on June 27, 2010. It was not revealed in earnest until August 7, 2010.
* Gigalith is the only pure {{type|Rock}} third-stage Pokémon.
* Gigalith's evolutionary line shares similarities with {{p|Golem}}'s family. Both of them are {{type2|Rock}}, learn {{m|Stealth Rock}}, {{m|Smack Down}}, {{m|Explosion}}, {{m|Stone Edge}}, and {{m|Rock Blast}} by level-up, first evolve at level 25, then reach the final evolutionary stage by [[trade|trading]].

===Origin===
It seems to be based on a {{wp|crystal}} formation.

====Name origin====
Gigalith's English and Japanese names may have been derived from ''{{wp|gigas}}'', a term used to describe a race of earth-born {{wp|Giants (Greek mythology)|giants}} in Greek mythology, and the Greek word ''lithos'' meaning "stone." It could also be derived from {{wp|Goliath}}. It is also derived from the word megalith, a big stone people worshiped in the Neolithic Era. Finally, the name could also be derived from ''{{wp|monolith}}'' meaning "a geological structure consisting of a single massive rock or stone." The Japanese name may also be derived from "{{wp|Gaia (mythology)|Gaia}}", the {{wp|Greek (mythology)|Greek goddess}} personifying the {{wp|Earth}}.

I don't think this move is a variation of Flamethrower and Thunderbolt. It only has 10 PP. Am I right or does PP not matter? --[[User:Dark Sage|Dark Sage]] 17:44, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
:Personally, I would've said that wouldn't matter, because it's the same power and accuaracy as them. The PP thing is probably just done because Ice is a rarer type. (eg.

For a while, Caroline was mad at her husband because he wasn't spending enough time with her and too much time with [[Nurse Joy]]. As it turns out, Nurse Joy was helping Norman set up a fireworks display for his and Caroline's anniversary.

She is probably a [[Pokémon Trainer]], as in a flashback she is seen holding a [[Poké Ball]], but what she trained remains a mystery.

Bobosmith01: /* Intro */

[[File:Daycare 34.png|thumb|220px|right|Well, this can't turn out well...]]
'''HSOWA''' is an acronym that stands for '''Hot Skitty On Wailord Action'''. It is derived from the fact that {{p|Skitty}} and {{p|Wailord}} can {{pkmn|breeding|breed}} in the {{pkmn|games}} despite the massive size difference. It has reached cult status on some message boards.

The term originates from GameFAQs where, when this topic came up, the user 'Endgame' reportedly said "HOT SKITTY ON WAILORD ACTION!". The name then stuck.

Though Skitty is quite small, another Pokémon in the same egg group as both Skitty and Wailord, {{p|Diglett}}, is even smaller, at 0'8". The reason that there is no HDOWA is possibly that Diglett and Wailord are not found in the {{pkmn2|wild}} in the same [[region]], thereby only being together in the [[National Pokédex]] listing, not one of the [[regional Pokédex]] listings. Plus, since only its head is visible, Diglett's true size is unknown. This can get even stranger with {{p|Seedot}} who is not only smaller than Skitty, but also based on a plant, and yet can still breed with Wailord. It also is in the Hoenn Pokédex, and is found in the wild in the same region. Also, {{p|Eevee}}, another cat-like Pokémon, and {{p|Rattata}}, a rat Pokémon, who are both shorter than Seedot and Skitty, but taller than Diglett, can also breed with Wailord. Apparently, however, the Skitty pairing was more famous.

[[File:Hsowaresult.png|frame|right|A fanmade sprite depicting the crossbred result]]
The reason why Wailord is included in the {{egg3|Field}}, the same group Skitty is in, in the first place is likely because whales are mammals, like most other Pokémon in the Field group.

Where did this come from? This was the name used for the starting down in the Gold and Silver beta version, I doubt they're going to use it considering the {{wp|Silent Hill}} series. {{unsigned|Phantomjunkie}}

==Permission==
to add Kanoko Town, please?--[[User:Phantomjunkie|Phantom]][[User talk:Phantomjunkie|Junkie]] 15:03, 8 August 2010 (UTC)

== Her apparent default name? ==

I keep seeing her name being defaulted as Touko (トウコ), apparently from the Battle Subway as a tag-battle partner. Does anyone have any confirmation so we can move the page? [[User:Pocketfanmk|Pocketfanmk]] 00:22, 29 September 2010 (UTC)

== White ==

Even though Adventures calls her White and here she was also temporarily called such, everyother site I've been to prior to the release called her BLACK. Same thing with Touya, as he was called WHITE on everyother site. I don't really recommend that kind of trivia if only this site was who called them such, as the popular choice was White for Touya and Black for Touko prior to the manga. [[User:Shiramu Kuromu|Shiramu Kuromu]] 16:24, 21 December 2010 (UTC)
:What? I've been always hearing the opposite. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 16:29, 21 December 2010 (UTC)
::Right, it's the exact opposite of that, Shiramu Kuromu. Pre-release images and videos were all calling Touya "Black" and Touko "White." [[User:Umeko|梅子]][[User talk:Umeko|❄]][[Special:Contributions/Umeko|❅]] 16:41, 21 December 2010 (UTC)
:::Then please state otherwise on the trivia, because if official pre-release information refered to Touya as Black and Touko as White, you should mention it was pre-release info that said those names instead of the fans, as the fans said Touya is White and Touko is Black. [[User:Shiramu Kuromu|Shiramu Kuromu]] 18:43, 21 December 2010 (UTC)
::::It used to say that it was pre-release info we got the names from... idk, I've been away from Bulbapedia for a while, I don't know what's been going on. ;D Also I had no idea that the fans used the opposite names... I'm more familiar with the habits of the Japanese fans, who unquestionably had called Touya "Black" and Touko "White." From what I heard from others though I could have sworn English fans used the same names... huh. [[User:Umeko|梅子]][[User talk:Umeko|❄]][[Special:Contributions/Umeko|❅]] 18:52, 21 December 2010 (UTC)

== Battle Subway Pokemon list ==

I can name at least 3 more for each strategie. I think her pokemon aren't set, she just uses those programmed for passangers, you can even find most of her pokemon in [http://members.shaw.ca/teamrocketelite/BattleSubwayData4.txt this list] (see {{dl|Battle Subway|References|here}}). Even if she indeed uses preset pokemon, I believe there are too much of them to cover here. Also check my grammar please. — ∀<tt>[[User:ЫъГЬ|ЫъГѣ]] ∃[[User_talk:ЫъГЬ|Talk page]]</tt> 10:15, 12 April 2011 (UTC)
:I know for a fact that the Pokémon she uses are definitely set, though maybe it would be wise to add a separate page listing them? That list is only going to get longer. [[User:Blazios|Blazios]] 11:24, 12 April 2011 (UTC)
Agreed.''[[User:Focus58]] says "Hi!"''
::They are set, but are quite a few. Also, I've seen Hilda use Pokémon listed on Hilbert's page -- I believe they have the same preset Pokémon. It sounds like a better idea to make a new page, like {{Red link|Battle Subway tag-battle Partner's Pokémon}}, or something (shorter? :P) along these lines. --[[User:Ash Pokemaster|Ash_Pokemaster]] 12:48, 12 April 2011 (UTC)
::: Regardless, removing information is generally a bad idea without discussing it on the talk page first. I'll get more input on the matter, but I believe the information should stay. If it becomes so large that it takes up too much room, it can always be moved to a subpage. --[[User:Rockersk08|rock]][[User talk:Rockersk08|ersk]][[Special:Contributions/Rockersk08|08]] 15:45, 12 April 2011 (UTC)
::::So you do agree that this list shouldn't be here, yet you restored it. What for? I doubt it's really that notable to take space of this page (or even it's own page). Also like I said the number of pokemon, she could use seems to be extremely big, I played a lot with her and can't recall any occasion of meeting the same pokemon twice. As far as I can judge, she uses the same pokemon as trainers.
::::So, should I just add all her pokemon (which is impossible I believe) to proove that there are too many of them? — ∀<tt>[[User:ЫъГЬ|ЫъГѣ]] ∃[[User_talk:ЫъГЬ|Talk page]]</tt> 15:49, 12 April 2011 (UTC)
::::: I already mentioned that I would get extra input from higher staff members on the issue. In the meantime, you're going to have to wait. We're trying to adhere to some standard. Other NPCs are covered with their Pokémon, such as {{ga|Dawn}}. If you read my response carefully, I said that the list should be there unless it is too large. {{ga|Blue}}'s party also has subpages for the older games, which is what I was referring to. --[[User:Rockersk08|rock]][[User talk:Rockersk08|ersk]][[Special:Contributions/Rockersk08|08]] 16:01, 12 April 2011 (UTC)
::::::Look at an of the [[Stat Trainers]]' pages; I find this comparable to those. Chances are that it's the same as Hilbert's. I would not object to a separate page listing them both. However, the information shouldn't be removed until that page is created. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 16:03, 12 April 2011 (UTC)
:Also, I ''have'' had repeats. The list is most definitely set, though it is very big, but not impossibly big. [[User:Blazios|Blazios]] 16:05, 12 April 2011 (UTC)
:::::Yes, but we should create a subpage ASAP, In my opinion. MiniProject Battle Subway! ''[[User:Focus58]] says "Hi!"''
P.S. Can someone add the subpage suggestion notice? Thanks!

:::::The whole idea to list all the pokemon still seems to be wrong for me, but maybe we make it collapsed at least? This wall of templates, which is far bigger than actual content of the article scares me. — ∀<tt>[[User:ЫъГЬ|ЫъГѣ]] ∃[[User_talk:ЫъГЬ|Talk page]]</tt> 06:26, 20 April 2011 (UTC)
:In that case, are you going to do that for all of the Stat Trainers' pages? Their articles are all bigger than this one. [[User:Blazios|Blazios]] 09:38, 20 April 2011 (UTC)
::Their articles are bigger than this one because they're complete, whereas this one isn't. This page currently only lists the tiniest fraction of Hilda's Pokémon. And besides, if her Pokémon truly are the same as Hilbert's, it would be more efficient to list them on a separate page that both articles could link to. --[[User:AndyPKMN|AndyPKMN]] [[User talk:AndyPKMN|(talk)]] 12:16, 20 April 2011 (UTC)
:No they're not, they're all incomplete. And this is not "the tiniest fraction", it has all the defensive Pokémon and at least half of the offensive ones. [[User:Blazios|Blazios]] 12:45, 20 April 2011 (UTC)
::Actually, the stat Trainer ones, while listing all the Pokémon, are severely incomplete in terms of movesets. I think that they should all be expandable, but if Hilda's and Hilbert's Pokémon are the same (which I'm pretty sure they are), we could create a template with these Pokémon on it and transclude it on both pages, which would also keep them synchronized. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 12:52, 20 April 2011 (UTC)
:::Shoot, my bad. I thought I remembered the Stat Trainer Pokémon lists being finished, and was assuming that nothing had been added to Hilda's page since this topic was started. I really need to double-check these things before I post. If the Stat Trainer pages are a comparable length, then I suppose this stuff ought to stay on this page as well. --[[User:AndyPKMN|AndyPKMN]] [[User talk:AndyPKMN|(talk)]] 14:38, 20 April 2011 (UTC)

Umm, How come her battle subway pokemon are repeated? {{unsigned|Mesuxelf}}
:They're not. Species that are listed more than once have different movesets and/or held items in each instance. —[[User:Minimiscience|Minimiscience]] 22:00, 20 April 2011 (UTC)

== Merge? ==

Shoud we merge the movesets to another page, e.g., "Hilda's Battle Subway Pokemon"?

'''Hilda''' (Japanese: '''トウコ''' ''Tōko'') is the female [[player character]] in {{game|Black and White|s}}. She is the female counterpart to {{ga|Hilbert}}.

==In the games==
===As the protagonist===
Hilda is a girl who lives in [[Nuvema Town]], as do her childhood friends, [[Cheren]] and [[Bianca]]. If chosen as the player, she will receive a [[starter Pokémon]] and a [[Pokédex]] from [[Professor Juniper]]. After setting off on her [[Pokémon journey]] at the same time as Cheren and Bianca, Hilda will at some point be asked by [[Fennel]] to do some sort of quest; in return for its completion, Hilda will receive a [[C-Gear]].

As well as encountering and battling her childhood friends at various points during her journey, Hilda will also meet a man known as [[N]], who wishes to create separate worlds for humans and Pokémon. In order to achieve his goals, he and Hilda will battle several times during the course of the game. Hilda will also battle [[Team Plasma]] at various stages of her journey. At the game's climax, Hilda is recognized as a hero by {{p|Reshiram}} or {{p|Zekrom}}, depending on the version.

===As a non-playable character===
If not chosen as the player (that is, the male character was chosen as the player), Hilda appears as the player's partner in the [[Battle Subway]] when choosing to ride the Multi-Train. Two of the following Pokémon are picked from the corresponding list, depending on what the player wants her to base her team on. If the player chooses "A balance between the two," Hilda's Pokémon are chosen from either list.

The article's "Trivia" section clearly states that Kris "is ''not'' the female choice" in [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|HeartGold and SoulSilver]]. However, it is not clear whether she and Soul are the same character or not. In addition, all other articles with information pertaining to the subject are in [[King of Pokélantis|possession]] of far greater neutrality. I suggest that this text be changed to read "is ''believed'' not to be the female choice". I'd do it myself, but it seems that the article has been Protected, and therefore, only an Administrator can make the suggested change. Anyone agree with me?

So {{adv|Crystal}} is dressed in Lyra's outfit in the HGSS chapter, just like how {{adv|Green}} was dressed as Leaf. Like the RGB girl who never made it in is Leaf, the GSC girl who never made it in until Crystal ''is'' Lyra. Lyra is Kris, and Ethan is Gold. Maxim, you can feel free to blow a gasket now, but the fact that she has two anime counterparts means nothing, because so does Red. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 06:14, 28 April 2010 (UTC)
: There is one difference here, there is early RGB game art that features Green, which proves that she was indeed a planned character in the RGB story. No such hints exist for Kris as far as I know (?), and since the games are the ultimate canon in the franchise, it would be more assuring to have concrete evidence from the game canon that Lyra is Kris. This could be a case like Adventure's confirmation that Giovanni was Silver's father, but as I recall, we didn't take that as 100% confirmed canon until we got confirmation via HGSS.

is it just mere stupidity or a matter of unacceptability that people here cannot face the fact that lyra is indeed kris reasons:

:1) lyra is a vast design of kris which infact shown on how the manga artist of adventures doesn't use a color blue hair for kris but brown.
:2) kris is indeed a beta design for lyra because during that time the color scheme for lyra's hair was not available for gameboy color.
:3) how the f*** told you that this character's name is kris is it just fan name like how ethan was named gold before he was officially named.
:4) look at her clothes does it clearly resembles the one lyra was wearing even the hair style they just add a ribbon on her hat you didn't recognize her.
:5) and lastly she could have two anime counterpart like how ash and ritchie is based on red.
[[User:Badwolf1234|Badwolf1234]] 08:58, 28 April 2010 (UTC)

Eh... I've seen that coming. There is one thing that makes me mad. That Ritchie is saw as Red's counterpart here. Ritchie is a counterpart of Ash, there's nothing in him that could be based directly on Red. His team is pretty much Ash's team, the clothes are even less similar to Red's ones than Ash's. Ash is the only real Red's countepart. Also, look at what Kusaka have done with the Team Rocket Executives. This makes his decision on Lyra/Kris even less reliable. We've got two contradicting ones. I don't see how we should trust Special but not the anime - I can see why people think that Special is better and conveys the game world much better than anime. But it's still not the same thing. We've got no proof on the game's side on who "Lyra" really is (or rather, who Kris really is). It's also annoying how so many people compare this situation to Blue/"Leaf". She was just a beta design for RGB. We don't even know if they really wanted to put her in the game. Kris, on the other side, was a FINAL thing. And she had her blue hair even in the artwork. It doesn't have anything to do with the GBC pallette. We should not judge the games by other canons, since if we ignore them, there is nothing that could confirm either scenario (aside from some fan-worked "patterns"). It's simply safer to consider them separate for the games. The "battle" between New-Lyra and Old-Lyra is now 1:1. It's a draw. And draw means, that we must not change anything. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 11:23, 28 April 2010 (UTC)

:Usually I sit back and mind my own buisness, but this time... I'll have to disagree with you TTE. Look, Lyra and Kris. Both got their own ''official'' names. Also, they have different looks. Very different. Two different anime counterparts as well, although you say that doesn't count. Pokemon Adventures does not matter, they just did that because they didn't have a name for Lyra. They can't name her after the recent games, because they are basically Gold and Silver. Also, what about in the Gold and Silver arc? With Chermaine and Keane. Does that mean we have to fuse their articles with Archer and Arianna? Maybe they just dropped Krys to add a new spin for HG/SS? Either way, I don't think that they are the same person. [[User:Littlmiget123|Littlmiget123]] 12:45, 28 April 2010 (UTC)
::I kind of feel the same way about keeping the articles apart. Crystal winding up in Lyra's clothing isn't conclusive on the matter at all. I could say the reason it was done so was because the "versions" of HG and SS are already covered in {{adv|Gold}} and {{adv|Silver}} and so as to not create a protagonist that would fall out of the version name theme. It's one thing to create a character for a version, such as Emerald and Yellow, but to need to sort out a version issue for a new character? Better to go with the easy way out (by amalgamating the two), than having to wage war on what to call the new character that continues the theme (when there's no possible way to).

All the Crystal elements in the world do not prove one way or another that Lyra is, in fact, ''meant'' to be Kris (and it's only our opinion [at this point] if she is or isn't), on the principle that neither Silver nor Gold got so completely retcon'd in their 2.0 appearance. Also, if she was meant to be the epitome of Kris, why isn't she being treated like Kris?

Either way, "Gold" became Hibiki/Ethan despite being referred to as "Gold" in the manual, and yet similar evidence is used to keep "Kris" separate from Kotone/Lyra? Kotone is not ''completely'' different from "Kris" as people are claiming, so I don't get why these characters with the same situation as Gold/Hibiki/Ethan are being kept separate. The only place these two are ''confirmed'' to be separate people is in the anime. --[[User:NyaChan|NyaChan]] 21:57, 28 April 2010 (UTC)

:Just because they're the same in the manga doesn't make them the same in the games. If this is "proof" they're the same, then Lyra in the anime is ''just as much'' proof that they're different. [[User:Reign|Reign]] 22:15, 28 April 2010 (UTC)
::I'm pretty sure ハート/Heart or ソウル/Soul. It's not like the fandom didn't call her one of the two before her name was revealed. They gave Kris Kotone's clothes because she's ''supposed'' to be a redesign of Kris, not a new character. Her hair is a clear show of that. Yes, it's not blue nor does it have that wacky 90-degree bend, but can anyone really say it's ''completely'' different? After all, PokéSpe HGSS Kris looks like what a PokéSpe Kotone would probably look like, with slightly darker hair.
::But still, personally I don't like how Gold = Hibiki/Ethan when we can say he was called "Gold" in the manuals while Kris =/= Kotone/Lyra because her name was on the back of the box. They're similar situations, so I don't get why one merges and the other doesn't. And that has ''nothing'' to do with the anime/manga. :/ --[[User:NyaChan|NyaChan]] 22:19, 28 April 2010 (UTC)

::::As are game canon and anime canon. What I think the reasoning is for calling Kotone/Lyra by her game name rather than "Marina" is because of the game name = anime name that they seem to like doing these days. Also, "Marina" and "Jimmy" can be point to why "Kris" and "Gold" weren't real names for them, but I won't go into that. However, my second point still stands. Ignoring both anime and manga canon, Gold/Hibiki/Ethan was in similar situation as Kris/Kotone/Lyra. He was called "Gold" in the manual while she was called "Kris" on the back of the box.

There were only 2 reasons that Lyra wasn't Kris. One was because they had two separate anime counterparts. However, Crystal was the counterpart that they both shared. So both cancel each other out. Another reason is that they look vastly redesigned as opposed to Ethan and Silver. But Morty and Sabrina were also vastly redesigned as opposed to their fellow Gym Leaders. Kris/Lyra play the same role and have similar enough features. They're as about as recognizable to each other as RGBY!Red is to FRLG!Red. [[User:Pocketfanmk|Pocketfanmk]] 02:55, 29 April 2010 (UTC)
:The "similar features" being gender and hairstyle...
:The difference between Lyra and the Red or Gym Leaders is there is absolutely no doubt the Gym Leaders and Red are meant to be who they are. The games pretty clearly state it. But the only evidence that Kris and Lyra are the same is in the manga, and the manga one isn't the same characters as the game ones. Whereas game-wise it doesn't say anything either way. And to coutner the manga, the anime has them as two distinct people.

:::::Yes. Exactly. And this is also why I'm against any kind of voting about the matter. Because in this case voting will be merely a battle of opinions, not any officially confirmed stuff, which the policy tells us to follow. Having them in separate articles is simply safer. We don't insist that [[Brock (anime)]] is a separate character from [[Brock]], do we? As long as there's no official word about the identity of her in the games. It's currently a draw between the anime and PokeSpe. And draw isn't deciding. I know, TTE, that you want this to be moved desperately but what's the sense of Bulbapedia's existence when it becomes an admin's personal playground of his crazy theories about fandom, instead of a reliable source of information? "Why couldn't rename and redesign her, if they did X, Y, Z before" isn't a reason. "Why not" is never a reason. As long as we don't get any more official "hints" about the matter, then we can talk about the change. As for now, we should leave everything as-is. Also, if we state that Kris MAY be an old version of Lyra (as she is in PokeSpe) clearly on the main head of the article, no one should really get offended. Bulbapedia isn't a place where heated battles of opinions should happen (especially when started by admins). Let's try to be objective and chill the hell out. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 12:02, 29 April 2010 (UTC)

== Word from Game Freak about Kris and Lyra's identity problem ==

Regarding the identity debate that has resurfaced in light of the latest manga development, I believe that Game Freak may not have been so vague, after all. According to the bottom of this page [[http://outdoor.geocities.jp/twnfh640/pokemon2.ds.html]], [[Takao Unno]] (HeartGold and SoulSilver's art director) was quoted in a Nintendo Dream interview as saying that "Lyra is a new character that was not designed with the female player character from Pokémon Crystal in mind". I've been aware of this page for some time now, but I've refrained from mentioning it until now since it also claims that some (possibly the same) interview clarified that the programmers of Pokéwalker did not recognize its resemblance to the Pocket Pikachu pedometer. This claim is refuted by the famous "Iwata Asks" interview [[http://www.nintendo.co.uk/NOE/en_GB/news/iwata/iwata_asks_-_pokmon_heartgold_version__soulsilver_version_16288_16289.html], where Ishihara states that the Pokéwalker is the successor to Pocket Pikachu (it was Nintendo and Creatures that had forgotten about Pocket Pikachu when they developed a pedometer game called Activity Meter).

That said, I'm inclined to take the quote about Kris and Lyra at face value, but I don't want to see it misused until we can verify the source (which I believe is the Nintendo Dream issue released in last September). It does make one wonder what Ken Sugimori's role in all of this was; is it possible that Lyra's illustration was drawn by Takao Unno instead? -[[User:Unown Lord|Unown Lord]] 20:01, 29 April 2010 (UTC)

== Don't believe that guy ==

Since I'm banned from Bulbagarden (by the way, dear admins, isn't it the time to lift that undeserved and insane ban from me? I've been away from Bulbagarden just long enough to atone for my "crime") and I can't answer there, the only thing that I can do is protect Bulbapedia from further harm that some random guy on Bulbagarden Forums may do. [http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/showpost.php?p=1593797&postcount=69 In this post on Bulbagarden Forums] one guy (random and seemingly inexperienced) tries to convince people that what Unno says is supposed to prove the otherwise of our consensus. This is, that Kris and Lyra are same characters. However, his "translation" (allegedly done by his "Japanese-fluent girlfriend") is nothing more than a misinterpretation. It's a wishful interpretation of someone who can't admit that the two aren't same and one characters. First, he cites the "crucial" sentence totally out of context, obscuring its meaning. Unno doesn't says anything about "redesign". What Unno really says that Crystal female character and HGSS female character were designed independently. 意識 means "consciousness" or "senses" (not "concern"), I've checked that in multiple dictionaries. There's no way that the word could be misinterpreted. Also, the particle せず means "without". So, do the maths. Also, he completely ignored the word 新規, which means "new" or "original". Unno used this word in relation to Lyra, very obviously. He also completely ignored what Unno said about Ethan. It's very easy to obscure the intended meaning of out-of-context sentence in a foreign language. And this guy seems to be a master at this. But don't believe him. All he's doing is setting an additional, illegal hurdle on the last metre of our long way to consensus. There are always stubborn people who can't admit the truth and argue with the facts. Some people simply can't understand that the Earth isn't flat and even taking them into space won't convince them. So, for your own sanity and the sanity of Bulbapedia, ignore this guy.

::I believe the "Kris/Crys is short for Crystal" only appears in the Pokémon Adventures manga (which does NOT consitute game canon, on the record...) --[[User:Zesty Cactus|'''Zesty''']][[User talk:Zesty Cactus|'''Cactus''']] 02:43, 8 May 2010 (UTC)
:::She's called it in "Golden Boys" too. Then again, that manga calls Silver "Black". So I'm guessing "Kris" is simply a reference to "Crystal" rather then a nickname. [[User:Lovely Rose|Lovely Rose]] 17:21, 8 May 2010 (UTC)

== The anime is no longer credible concerning Kris/Lyra's identity ==

Ethan got a new counterpart in the 13th movie despite Jimmy already being Gold's counterpart. This proves that the anime isn't above recreating existing characters, unless you want to argue that Gold and Ethan aren't the same person either. Of course, this doesn't prove Kris being Lyra, but between the anime's loss of credibility and the article about Lyra's design having questionable credibility as well, the whole "Kris isn't Lyra" argument isn't solid either.

== similarites ==

Look at May's storyline as the player charecter.
her hair color is different but they look similar.

==CharacterDex Question==
Um, in light of the last section, I hope I won't be causing a problem, but this IS what the CharacterDex page said to do. Recently, I've noticed that pages like [[N|N's]] have all his quotes from everywhere, whereas [[Brendan]] didn't have any quotes before I added the Match Call section. What is the official CharacterDex policy? Personally, I prefer having all the quotes, but I was wondering which was considered better. :) [[User:Ikarishipper900|Ikarishipper900]] 23:51, 2 May 2011 (UTC)

::Okay cool thank you. :) I can start getting quotes for some characters, but what I'm wondering now is would it be better for me to gather all the quotes from the whole game and then put it on the page, or put the quotes up as I go and put an incomplete template or something like that? The second would be easier, but I want to be sure that's okay. :) PS: Could this get added to the to-do list or something if we want the quotes? That thing hasn't been updated in.... Over a year, actually. (I apologize for asking a ton of questions. >__<) [[User:Ikarishipper900|Ikarishipper900]] 23:11, 3 May 2011 (UTC)

== Question about additional personal pages ==

Hi! I want to ask if it is allowed here on Bulbapedia to create some more personal pages (besides my Main User Page). I mean to create sub-pages of my Main Page. Something like this: [[User:ATEMVEGETA/test page]].

If this is allowed then can I create as many pages as I want? (I want to create a page for each Pokemon Glitch). Also can I put pictures and videos in those pages?

Also, what is that one-edit-a-day thing?

Thanks! [[User:ATEMVEGETA|ATEMVEGETA]] ([[User_talk:ATEMVEGETA|Talk]]) 12:33, 20 May 2011 (UTC)
:I don't know how many more you can have actually, but there might be a limit, as Bulbapedia would probably not like 30 subpages, however, you can create that userpage.

== Just a thought ==

hi there, i only made an account to voice this tactic, i am thinking that in the Justified ability section you can include the beat up tactic for a double battle. The best thing to do is get a weavile which knows beat up, or chain breed a charizard like i have done, then use beat up against your own partner in a double battle. I use cobalion and i play online, with 4 people, so his attack with go up 4 stages(as beat up attacks the same number of times as the number of pokemon in your party) and from here on that pokemon, cobalion being quite fast and now will extremely high attack power, will sweep the other team easily. I didnt want to keep this to myself so hopefully it will be made known by you editing or creating a page? thanx 4 listening.[[User:Solar|Solar]] 09:42, 23 May 2011 (UTC)

== Trivia additions ==

I understand the reasoning behind the recent ban on trivia additions, but I think it was a little over the top to actually delete my addition to Azelf's page. Azelf currently has no trivia associated with it at all. If its page is in need of anything, I would argue it's trivia and not "actual content", as it's the only Pokémon to my memory whose Trivia section is completely blank.

I'm willing to accept that the other Pokémon whose Trivia section I updated with essentially the same message perhaps could do without additional trivia given the crackdown (though its own section has a mere two lines of it). But is one of Azelf's most unique and distinguishing competitive characteristics so irrelevant and pointless to warrant its removal, leaving its Trivia section again completely blank?
[[User:Jumpman16|Jumpman16]] 00:42, 24 May 2011 (UTC)
:Just because a page doesn't have any trivia associated with it doesn't mean we should automatically find something to add to it. Pages don't need trivia now. If there is nothing that can be added to the page content, there are dozens of more important things to do than add trivia. We have stubs that need expanding, pages that are actually incomplete, images that need uploading and pages that need to be created. --[[User:PsychicRider|'''P S Y''']][[User talk:PsychicRider|'''ライダー''']]''[[Special:Contributions/PsychicRider|'''☮''']]'' 00:54, 24 May 2011 (UTC)

==Inspiration Behind Meloetta==
I noticed an insightful suggestion for the inspiration behind Meloetta some months ago on Bulbapedia, clearly an indication of the careful research that goes into this premier Pokémon encyclopedia. I was surprised not to see it today so I re-posted something similar.

"Meloetta appears to be based on the Muses of Greek Mythology, in particular Terpsichore, the Muse of dance and chorus, and possibly Euterpe, the Muse of music and poetry."

Minutes after this was deleted again. Puzzled, I reviewed the history page only to read your note: "ONM AU&NZ Issue 30 June 2011 Page 63: Masuda says that no legendarys are related to Greek mythology". Here in the U.S., I really was not aware of this clarification by such an insider. Sorry for inconvenience – it was simply an earnest effort to uphold the level of scholarship that actually lies behind each Pokémon species. Moreover, what I am most sorry for is that Victini will also lose some incredible background as well in light of this revelation: "Conceptually, it might draw inspiration from Nike, the Greek, winged goddess of victory, or Victoria, the Roman equivalent of Nike. Its tail wings may be a reference to Nike's wings." I suppose such are tests to our commitment to accuracy.

[[User:AceTrainerAlvaro|AceTrainerAlvaro]] 22:50, 3 June 2011 (UTC)
:I totally understand, I really do. We actually believed it to be based from a Greek standpoint, seeing as a lot of the inspiration was more western this time around, however since that magazine came out, it appears that it wasn't the case. However, Meloetta isn't out in the open yet, so it might still be based on Greek mythology, we'll have to see if there's any publication after it's revealed publicly. However, for now, we should leave it as it's not a Greek inspiration, if that's alright.

Some Bulbapedia members have formed a [[Bulbapedia:Project|project]] to better organize efforts to write and improve articles about '''characters in [[Pokémon games]]'''. If you would like to help, please inquire on the [[{{NAMESPACE}} talk:{{PAGENAME}}|talk page]] or the [http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/forumdisplay.php?f=195 Bulbapedia forum] and see the [[{{NAMESPACE}}:{{PAGENAME}}/To-do list]].

If you have any direct questions to either of the leaders, please post them at either {{ut|PsychicRider|PsychicRider's talk page}} or {{ut|Clarky13|Clarky13's talk page}}.

==Project CharacterDex==
===Scope and aims===
Project CharacterDex aims to write and improve comprehensive on characters from games. Good articles include {{ga|Blue}} and {{ga|Red}}.

Project CharacterDex also aims to get as much info as possible on new characters. A good example would be [[Red (game)#In the Super Smash Bros. series|Pokémon Trainer from Super Smash Bros. Brawl]].

Project CharacterDex also aims to add unknown info about the characters and their Pokémon. This includes [[moves]] and [[abilities]]. A good example would be the addition of previously unknown abilities of the Pokémon in the [[Battleground]].

===Goals===
This Project's goal is to cover every possible article that falls under the criteria of "game-exclusive characters" and to pick up as many helping members as possible along the way.

'''====Quotes===='''

=====Exceptions to the Article Layout=====
Despite the fact that all characters will be given this treatment, there are some exceptions to this new rule:
:Characters who are anime-exclusive, ie [[Sakura]], [[Daisy]], [[Violet]], [[Lily]].
:Characters who debut in the anime, only appearing in the games due to that.
:Important main characters from the anime, ie [[Brock]], [[Misty]], and [[Giovanni]].

Some Bulbapedia members have formed a [[Bulbapedia:Project|project]] to better organize efforts to write and improve articles about '''characters in [[Pokémon games]]'''. If you would like to help, please inquire on the [[{{NAMESPACE}} talk:{{PAGENAME}}|talk page]] or the [http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/forumdisplay.php?f=195 Bulbapedia forum] and see the [[{{NAMESPACE}}:{{PAGENAME}}/To-do list]].

If you have any direct questions to either of the leaders, please post them at either {{ut|PsychicRider|PsychicRider's talk page}} or {{ut|Clarky13|Clarky13's talk page}}.

==Project CharacterDex==
===Scope and aims===
Project CharacterDex aims to write and improve comprehensive on characters from games. Good articles include {{ga|Blue}} and {{ga|Red}}.

Project CharacterDex also aims to get as much info as possible on new characters. A good example would be [[Red (game)#In the Super Smash Bros. series|Pokémon Trainer from Super Smash Bros. Brawl]].

Project CharacterDex also aims to add unknown info about the characters and their Pokémon. This includes [[moves]] and [[abilities]]. A good example would be the addition of previously unknown abilities of the Pokémon in the [[Battleground]].

===Goals===
This Project's goal is to cover every possible article that falls under the criteria of "game-exclusive characters" and to pick up as many helping members as possible along the way.

'''Helping Hand''' (Japanese: '''てだすけ''' ''Help'') is a non-damaging {{type2|Normal}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation III]].

==Effect==
Helping Hand is an increased [[priority]] move that will raise the base power of its teammates' move in a [[double battle]] and [[triple battle]] by 50%. It will fail if used in a single battle. It will also fail if the partner has already used Helping Hand that round in double battles but will stack in triple battles.

==={{pkmn|Mystery Dungeon}}===
Helping Hand increases {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Special Attack}} by one stage for all allies in the room. However this move doesn't affect the user.

:::::I know this is a late reply but thought it should be stated. It is highly possible that Pikachu also has Volt Absorb or what ever its called. In the battle against Roxanne's Nosepass it absorbed the Zap Cannon and regained strength which in the anime is the same as health. I agree with those above stating that abilities are different in the anime world. After all things can be done differently in the anime then in the games.--[[User:Lycos Ex Mortis|Lycos Ex Mortis]] 16:16, 7 May 2010 (UTC)

We could have a section for counterparts to Ash's Pikachu, for example, Sparky, Silver's Chikorita, Aoi's Shinx. I'm pretty sure there are more, and I think this might be worth including on this page. Just a thought! [[User:Gastlys mama|Gastlys mama]] 22:09, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

== Not big things ==

Hi guys! I have 2 thigs to say!
1. I don't understand the last trivia fact about Pikachu being ash's only pokemon... etc, could somebody explain this to me? maybe it's a error and should be erased.
2. We all know that [[Ash's Pikachu]] has never been on its poke ball not even once, well only in ''that'' movie, but my point is that would Ash's still have that poke ball? You know, when he goes to a pokemon center we don't see that unique thunder poke ball of pikachu (because he is always outside of it), so I don't know, why carrying it around if he doesn't use it? if you think this last thing is stupid well then don't pay attention to it. =)[[User:YukitoOoO|YukitoOoO]] 18:29, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

Oh man! i just finished checking the page and saw the that poke ball and there it says that ''ash carries it around all the time'' just like it had posted this haha mmm so nevermind![[User:YukitoOoO|YukitoOoO]] 18:29, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

== Doesn't he look cute? ==

Um,excuse me,but her exact line was "You look so cute",in the english version. Is that line from another languages version? [[User:Lovely Rose|Lovely Rose]] 18:34, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

*sigh* I know exactly what you mean, Rose. In my opinion, we shouldn't be caring anymore.

I'm afraid to say that this gender debate is just... pathetic. It's kind of sad the way this debate has gone on as long as this, as if its an important election. I really need an explanation as to why the large amount of male evidence isn't enough to confirm the gender of a CARTOON mouse. Why do we need someone to tell us? Aipom puts on a dress, and its a female. Pikachu puts on a kimono... OH NO! That doesn't mean its male! Pikachu puts on a maid outfit and looks embarrassed. NOPE! Not yet." Jeez.

The female evidence is absolutely terrible. Buneary not knowing Pikachu's gender? Pokémon can regonise the gender of other Pokémon, as can animals. For example, Pokémon know that they have to be with a mate of the opposite gender to breed, otherwise they will refuse. Therefore if Buneary is female and it wants to mate, then Pikachu being female would be disturbing. And the idea of Misty featuring Pikachu in dresses... it's a joke in Misty's girlish mind. Does this suddenly mean it's female? I bet even if we saw a female Pikachu in the anime with a heart-shaped tail, this website would still stubbornly say "Pikachu's from Kanto. Gender differences don't apply". And does Pikachu have to be a girl to rival with Bayleef? Is that a scientific fact? No.

I really, really wish they would just confirm the gender as male. Because it is. I know I shouldn't be posting about this because its considered an "offence" to vote, but it would be really good if a regular would just say "Ok, everyone. Ash's Pikachu is male. Thank you". Almost everyone else considers this. Yeah. [[User:Dusknoir477]] 11:37, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

: >> I think Pikachu is female..But,anyway,can I delete that line from the article,it's incorrect,see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aFZkdgsgzP8&feature=related. I tried deleting it before,but it looks like it's back up [[User:Lovely Rose|Lovely Rose]] 02:28, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

Yeah I watched it, you're absolutely right, May doesn't refer to it as a male. But that doesn't mean it isn't... I don't think I'll ever be convinced that Pikachu is a girl, because I've always known it to be male. I'm sure lots of people considered that, and therefore, that's one of the big reasons why I think its male; because so many fans picked up vibes that it Pika was a boy, it must be so. Also, I've got lots of Pokémon books from my childhood; all of them say that Pikachu is a boy in them. One was a novel of the first film that I bought for my younger brother, which says this so explicitly its as if the book is trying to side with me. Creepy.

I still can't think of any good reason why it would be female. I can counter all of the female evidence on Pikachu's article.

1. Although its true that Pikachu is from Kanto where all Pikachu of both genders have "male" tails, now that gender differences have been introduced, we can forgot about that now. The world of Pokémon is always changing and contnuity is always corrupted, and regarding certain things like this is the only way to fix it. And no, its tail would not have changed into a heart if it was female. Jeez, if only gender differences were made ages ago, we wouldn't have this problem!

2. Misty picturing Pikachu in dresses. Well, firstly, Misty is a girl. Secondly, Misty likes Pikachu, and would want to picture Pikachu as a girl. Thirdly, Misty's visions were her point of view and not part of the continuity. Basically, almost nothing can be drawn from this evidence. In that Miltank episode, Pikachu felt uncomfortable dressed as a maid, so therefore, from Pikachu's point of view, it doesn't like dresses, meaning that it most likely isn't a girl.

3. Buneary not knowing Pikachu's gender is the dumbest piece of evidence that I have ever, ever heard. Come on, really. I would like to take a little moment to explain real game "love" physics. :P Say that there is a large group of male Mamoswine and a larg group of female Mamoswine in a blizzard. The members in both groups would like to start families with each other, but they can't because in each group, each member is the same gender. So they don't mate. Then, both groups see each other and form a larger group of both genders. Now, they can mate and can start breeding, because there are both males and females, meaning plenty of Swinub eggs will be laid.

So, one must come to the basic conclusion that, if a female Buneary is perfectly capable to fall and love and breed with a male Buneary in the games, but not with another female, then Dawn's Buneary successfully feeling obliged to mate with Pikachu means that Pikachu is the opposite gender of her: Male. Either that, or Buneary is male, which is definitely not true, as Buneary has worn dresses like a girl and even went into a girls fashion competition. Therefore, Buneary is female and Pikachu is male. It's obvious! Remember... The Pokémon series is based on the games! (although, then again, some things that happened in the anime aren't possible in the games, like the electric-harming-ground thing, but we are talking about common sense here; a female would tell the difference between a male and female).

4. Pikachu has gained quite a few rivals throughout the series, the most notable being Chikorita/Bayleef, who was confirmed to be female. I do not know why it would be considered female just because of this. Both genders can rival with one another. Whilst there is no evidence to say that I am wrong, there isn't evidence to say that I am right about this point, so this would be discarded in my book.

5. One that got deleted a while ago was the point that Pikachu showed interest in feminine items such as perfume. I can counter it. I think the reason why it was fascinated was because it was simply curious of the human world. Remember, Pikachu, before being captured by Prof Oak, was a wild animal. It would be fascinated by human things and would wander about eyeing the merchandise on sale, whether it was aimed at men or women. You know... it may look at a bottle of perfume, then look at a digital watch, then a necklace, then a chemisty set. This really doesn't explain anything about genders then, does it?

There you go. In my opinion, you can't very much counter the male evidence, especially ones like Pikachu being referred to as Ash's brother (a very good point).

I guess we'll just have to face the facts. Pikachu's gender will probably never be fully confirmed. Everyone's just too stubborn to do so. It's like in the Simpsons where Springfield's state won't be revealed. It's getting very, very late now, and as episodes go on, Pikachu remain a seemingly-genderless creature. But it isn't. It's male. - ''unsigned comment from {{u|Dusknoir477}} ([[User talk:Dusknoir477|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Dusknoir477|contribs]]){{ #if: | {{{2}}} |}}''

I realize this is pretty trivial, but on the section of Pikachu's Gender Debate, one of pieces of information supporting Pikachu's gender being male states something around the lines of Pikachu from Kanto have not been shown to have indentations on their tails, but in Pikachu's Goodbye (EP039) multiple wild Pikachu that appear in that episode have indentations on their tails.

== Double edge???? ==

I think Pikachu can't do double edge.
May i have some proofs please.
--♫♪[[User talk:Adyniz|'''Adyniz''']]♪♫ 15:39, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

:Well, there are points pointing both ways. Supporting the fact that Ash's Pikachu might know {{m|Double-Edge}} is because it can learn the move through [[TM10]] in [[Generation I]] (and later through a move tutor in [[Generation III]]). Supporting the fact that it might not know Double-Edge is because it was the stadium announcer who mentioned it in [[EP079|''Friend and Foe Alike'']], increasing the chance that it could have been a dub mistranslation where it was originally a different move in the Japanese version.

:My [[$1|2¢]]: While it's possible that Pikachu using Double-Edge might have been a mistranslation, if it isn't a mistranslation, odds are it's not an error of any sort. The episode in question is a Generation I-era episode, and Pikachu most definitely had a legal avenue for learning Double-Edge in that generation. Conclusion: Could somebody double-check the Japanese version of the episode? --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 16:03, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

Today i watched [[EP079|Friend and Foe Alike]] & it was true that pikachu used Double-Edge in this episode.

== Male in Japan As Well! ==

Have any of you dared to watch Electric Soldier Porygon? ([[EP038]]) If so, then if you watched the one with subtitles on YouTube, you would have heard Nurse Joy call him a he. And that was in Japan! As for other countries, Pikachu is called a he in Showdown at Pewter City (EP005). I am changing it from Male (confirmed in dub only) to Male. [[User:Torngentleman2|MAMOSWINEPwnz! (Torngentleman2)]] 16:52, 18 April 2009 (UTC)

:Your operative word is "subtitles". Those subtitles are not official. Ergo, they cannot be used as evidence. Your edits concerning the matter will be undone.

:In fact, the chances of us ever getting official subtitles for that episode vanished thanks to over 700 seizures. Even if the rest of the series were to get an uncut subtitled release one of these days, [[EP038]] would not be included due to being locked down by the Japanese government. --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 17:04, 18 April 2009 (UTC)
That's not evidence at all, but I am almost certain Pikachu has been referred to as male in the Japanese version. I recall Meowth using the word "otoko" in reference to him in one of the Lt. Surge episodes, for example. I don't exactly watch the anime (hardly ever), so I can't really give any other example. [[User:Capsule Computer|Capsule Computer]] 06:48, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

Let me ask something real quick, and hopefully this'll help end the gender debate once and for all. (Either that, or make it worse...) According to [[Dawn's Buneary]], that particular Buneary is confirmed female. By the game mechanics and what we've seen on the Anime, Pokémon don't have homosexual tendencies. Therefore, isn't Buneary's HUGE crush on Ash's Pikachu evidence enough that Pikachu is a male? Or is Buneary's gender not really confirmed?

Ok, you want to know Pikachu's past? Pikachu was wild before professor oak caught it and brought it to his lab (Pokemon Yellow). This also explains why Pikachu had a poke ball in the first place.

== Pichu ==
I think we should put pichu as Pkachu's pre-evolution in the info box.

== Pikachu's Poké Ball ==

About Pikachu's Poké Ball. The Poké Ball with a lighting bolt mark from Professor Oak's Laboratory has never been owned by Ash (Gary's Blastoise is held in a regular Poké Ball and not in the Poké Ball labeled in Japanese from Professor Oak's Laboratory), as Ash, for exemple, uses a regular Poké Ball to try to recall Pikachu in the ep001 (Ash tries to get it in, but it hits the ball back every time), and when several Spearow came in front of Ash (Ash put a regular Poke Ball next to Pikachu), and also in the ep005 against Onix, Ash uses a regular Poké Ball to try to recall it. We can therefore affirm that Pikachu's Poké Ball is a regular Poke Ball, and in all these episodes when Ash try to recall it, the Pikachu's (regular) Poké Ball is the same. The red light ray coming out of a poke ball means that it possesses a pokemon, in this case "Pikachu" (like in the ep005 against Onix).

I'm not agree about what you said, this is an evidence ! The animators are not stupid to forget about it in several episodes and in several scenes when Ash tries to recall pikachu into its Poke ball.
Pikachu's current Poke Ball must be one of the six Poké Balls that Professor Oak gave to Ash in ep001 (Ash choosed one of the six Poké Balls to be Pikachu's Poké Ball). The same thing can be said about Gary's Blastoise. We follow the logic !

== In the manga, Ash's Pikachu is featured. ==

But is that it, is that all we really know about Ash's Pikachu in the Pokémon manga? I realise that this article has been featured before and was voted against being featured due to lack of information in the manga section. In my opinion the summaries used are very brief and just acknowledge that Pika has been featured in the manga, rather than give details on character development and such. For example, the anime section uses tons of specific information about Pikachu while the manga section has virtually no information about Pikachu. I guess to get to the point, is there a manga-savvy out there who could add more information to the "In the manga" section. I'd do it myself if I had any Pokémon manga but I don't so I decided to simply request help for this article. Also, maybe a template could be added to the section such as [[Template:Sectionstub|this.]] --[[User:Landfish7|'''Land''']][[User talk:Landfish7|'''fish7''']]''' 00:27, 2 January 2011 (UTC)

I can't recall exactly how to link images right now, but I'm sure it's somewhere under the link template section of Bulba's help pages. ~~ '''[[User:Scyther Be Awesome|Scyther Be Awesome!]] [[User talk:Scyther Be Awesome|Need something?]]''' 13:17, 30 April 2011 (UTC)
::[[Bulbapedia:Wikicode]] and [[Bulbapedia:Signature Policy]] have the answers you're looking for. I'd suggest reading both. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 20:30, 30 April 2011 (UTC)
Wait, if its not allowed, how come users have them on some of their signatures? [[User:Bobosmith01|~Bobo Spr_2c_147_s.gif]] 20:42, 30 April 2011 (UTC)
