BrendanC: Added Rice Ball Meme being added in a promo-video

[[File:Rice balls.png|thumb|left|250px|A plate of rice balls being scoped by {{TRT}}]]
A '''rice ball''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|御握り|おにぎり}}''' ''{{wp|onigiri}}'') is a common Japanese snack that appears in the [[Pokémon anime]] many times and, in the dub, under a variety of different names. {{an|Brock}} makes them fairly often and they are frequently used in gags.

==Dub editing==
[[File:Rice Ball SM068.png|thumb|250px|A rice ball in the {{series|Sun & Moon}}]]
To give the snack a name which non-Japanese children would be more familiar with, the dub has referred to them as sandwiches, cookies, onions, jelly donuts and popcorn balls. In a couple of [[Hoenn League]] episodes, the [[4Kids Entertainment|4Kids]] dub replaced giant rice balls with large sandwiches, which was not received well by the fanbase. However, a few times in the anime, such as ''[[EP055|Pokémon Paparazzi]]'' and ''[[AG008|A Tail with a Twist]]'', 4Kids referred to rice balls by their proper name, instead of something adjusted for foreign audiences. 4Kids continued to refer to them as sandwiches or cookies even after these episodes aired, such as in ''[[AG118|Less is Morrison]]''.

Since [[The Pokémon Company International]] started dubbing the series, they have been consistently referred to as rice balls. Eventually, starting in the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}, rice balls appeared less often, more so in the {{series|Best Wishes}} wherein [[Unova|the region]] is no longer based on a part of Japan. Some rice balls appeared in ''[[SS034|Hoopa — The Mischief Pokémon]]'', where they were summoned by {{an|Hoopa}} in [[Arche Valley]]. In ''[[SM068|Real Life...Inquire Within!]]'', {{an|Lana}} was seen eating a giant rice ball.

==Trivia==
[[File:Rice Ball Poké Ball.png|thumb|200px|Rice ball caught in a Poké Ball]]
* {{p|Glalie}} bears a resemblance to these snacks, and its Japanese name (オニゴーリ ''Onigohri'') sounds similar to the word onigiri.
* In ''[[EP025|Primeape Goes Bananas]]'', Ash caught a rice ball in a [[Poké Ball]].
* In the "Explore Pokémon: Kanto Region" promotional video on the Pokémon YouTube channel, it mentioned the Jelly Filled Donuts Meme.

Should it be noted (and for Slowking too) that despite being a Shellder latched onto it's tail, the thing on it's tail in no way resembles Shellder or even Cloyster (though it's closer to Cloyster I suppose)? I'm not disputing what it is, it's clearly stated in the games that it's Shellder. I just think it's interesting that it looks -nothing- like it. [[User:Derian|[[Derian]]]]

==The Relationship Between Slowpoke and Shelder==
I got Curious and Googled it, i believe its actually a {{wp|Mutualism (biology)}}, not a Parasitism one. Shelder helps Slowbro in a Few ways, not Harming Him. Anyone else think this, or just me. [[User:BrendanC|Brendan C]] ([[User talk:BrendanC|talk]]) 22:12, 27 November 2018 (UTC)Brendanc
: Mutualism is the wrong word, as Slowbro definitely does not gain while Shellder does. When Shellder clamps onto a Slowpoke's tail it actually loses its ability to fish for food as a Slowbro. Shellder also injects a poison into Slowbro to numb the Pokémon, making it even more unaware of pain and dull than when it was a Slowpoke. So there is an extent of harm, meaning mutualism (where both benefit} is not applicable. But the fact that the pair can separate suggests that Shellder is only using Slowbro as a food source - this temporary state and the note of devolution may indicate that this is in fact a case of commensalism (one species benefits while the other does not gain and is not explicitly harmed).[[User:PardescanSlowbro|PardescanSlowbro]] ([[User talk:PardescanSlowbro|talk]]) 03:54, 27 December 2018 (UTC)

GO Park

|generation={{Gen|VII}}
}}

The '''GO Park''' (Japanese: '''ＧＯパーク''' ''GO Park'') is a special Pokémon preserve present in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], located in [[Fuchsia City]] in the {{safari|Kanto}} in [[Kanto]]. It allows the player to send over Pokémon from the Kanto Pokédex, including Alola Forms, caught in [[Pokémon GO]].

==Areas==
There are 20 different GO Parks, each capable of holding up to 50 Pokémon, giving a maximum capacity of 1,000 Pokémon. Each park contains a Play Yard.

==Minigames==
[[File:GO Park Play Yard LGPE.jpg|right|thumb|An example of one of the Minigames]]
Once the player has 25 of the same species of Pokémon in the GO Park complex, a special minigame will begin in the Play Yard. In the minigame, the player is tasked with leading all the Pokémon into the goal area within the 3-minute time limit. If the player gets close enough to a Pokémon, it will follow the player. If the player bumps into one of the obstacles placed around the field, such as {{p|Diglett}}, {{p|Sandshrew}}, and {{p|Golem}}, The Pokémon currently following them will become surprised and run away. If all the Pokémon enter the goal area within the time limit, candies will be awarded to the player.

==Pokémon==
The player will be able to catch any Pokémon transferred over from Pokémon GO. Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go Eevee can receive any of the first 150 Pokémon, as well as {{p|Meltan}} and {{p|Melmetal}}. {{p|Mew}} and Pokémon with special accessories, such as [[Pikachu variants#Pokémon GO|Holiday Pikachu]] and Sunglasses {{p|Squirtle}}, cannot be transferred. Like transfers through [[Pal Park]] or [[Poké Transporter]], these transfers are one-way only, and cannot be sent back to GO.

===Mechanics===
Pokémon transferred through GO Park have {{IV}}s reflect their stats in GO, multiplied by 2. Because Special Attack and Special Defense do not exist in GO, they are set to be equal to Attack and Defense. Meanwhile, its Speed IV and [[nature]] are determined at random, and can be hard reset by saving before encountering the Pokémon and resetting until the desired result is met. For example: if an {{alo|Vulpix}} had these stats in GO:

{| class="roundy" width="650px" style="background: #{{platinum color}}; border: 3px solid #{{platinum color light}}"
|- style="text-align:center"
| class="roundyleft" rowspan=2 style="background: #fff; width: 14%" | [[File:037Vulpix-Alola.png|100px]]
| style="background: #f00; width: 14%" | '''Hit Points'''
| style="background: #f93; width: 14%" | '''Attack'''
| class="roundytr" style="background: #fc3; width: 14%" | '''Defense'''
|- style="text-align:center"

| style="background: #fff; width: 14%" | 15
| class="roundybr" style="background: #fff; width: 14%" | 4
|}

It would could possibly have these IVs in Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!

{{Hidden Power calculation/IV|16|31|8|25|31|8|037Vulpix-Alola.png{{!}}100px}}

The Pokémon completely forgets all [[move]]s it knew in GO, including special event moves, and its moves are reset to moves it would know by level up in Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go Eevee!.

'''Route 4''' (Japanese: '''４{{tt|番道路|ばんどうろ}}''' ''Route 4'') is a route in northern [[Kanto]], connecting {{rt|3|Kanto}} and [[Mt. Moon]] to [[Cerulean City]].

==Route description==
===Western segment===
[[File:Magikarp salesman FRLG.png|thumb|200px|left|The [[Magikarp salesman]] in the [[Pokémon Center]]]]
In [[Generation]]s {{gen|I}}, {{gen|III}}, and {{gen|VII}}, Route 4 is split into two sections by [[Mt. Moon]]. On the western portion of the route, there is the western entrance to Mt. Moon, as well as a [[Pokémon Center]]. Inside this Pokémon Center, there is a [[Magikarp salesman|shady man]] who sells the player a {{p|Magikarp}} for {{pdollar}}500. He is only present in Generations I, III, and VII.

The western portion of Route 4 begins by traveling north from the previous route; {{rt|3|Kanto}} towards the mountain. There are several small ledges spanning from both sides of the route; however, there is enough clearing in the center to pass through. There are also several rocks along the sides that apparently can be mistaken for {{p|Geodude}} as a little girl explains as she trips on one. By traveling straight on, ahead will be a small [[Pokémon Center]], one of two Pokémon Center's that can be found on a route, the other being on {{rt|10|Kanto}}. The western terminus to [[Mt. Moon]] can also be found by traveling west of the Pokémon Center, which has been indented into the mountain face.

In the Pokémon Center, Trainers can heal their Pokémon after a hard journey through Route 3; however, a number of other things can be done in the Pokémon Center. In Generation I, III, and VII, a shady man, which happens to be the [[Magikarp salesman]], can be found in the corner of the Center selling Trainers a {{p|Magikarp}} for {{PDollar}}500 (but does not offer a refund). While this may seem as something of a ripoff, some {{player}}s consider it very worthwhile to raise a Magikarp from such an early point in the game, allowing the player to train and evolve it into a {{p|Gyarados}} much earlier than if they had waited until they are given an {{DL|Fishing|Old Rod}}. There is also a man reading a newspaper, reading that [[Team Rocket]] are attacking {{ci|Cerulean}} citizens.

===Eastern segment===
[[File:Route4tutor.png|thumb|200px|The two [[Move Tutor]]s]]
From [[Mt. Moon]], Route 4 travels to the east, swerving to the north and the south to avoid ledges along the route. The path turns north, then east near a large clump of trees surrounding a grassy area. The route is a very strange route as the [[ledge]]s form a contour down the mountainside, leading Trainers due east and then south to the end of the path and a ledge that will force Trainers to go down it into a large clump of trees surrounding a grassy area. After going down this ledge, there is no return and Trainers must go east to reach [[Cerulean City]].

Route 4 can, in fact, be reached from Cerulean City, by using {{m|Surf}}, Trainers can Surf along to western part of Route 24, south to [[Cerulean Cave]]. Trainers can then travel west, past a {{tc|Lass}} on the highest hill, and then jump down the remaining ledges to access this section of the route.

Due to a ledge that separates Mt. Moon from [[Cerulean City]], Trainers cannot return to the previous towns until they travel through [[Diglett's Cave]] and use {{m|Cut}} on {{rt|2|Kanto}}, use {{m|Fly}} to return to the cities west of Mt. Moon, or use {{m|Surf}} down from {{rt|24|Kanto}} (in Generations I and III only) or all the way around through [[Cinnabar Island]]. The majority of the [[route]] is fairly straight-forward as there is only one true way to proceed on the path and there are no {{pkmn|Trainer}}s to battle (with the exception of the {{tc|Lass}} on the highest hill on the route; however, she is reached only by way of the waterway that begins on {{rt|24|Kanto}}).

Depending on the [[Generation]], there are [[item]]s, [[Move Tutor]]s, or both along this path. In Generation III, two Move Tutors were added to the route. Located near the Mt. Moon entrance, these tutors will teach a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} the [[move]]s {{m|Mega Punch}} and {{m|Mega Kick}}, but only once. Both tutors are jealous of the other's skills and will try to get Trainers to come to them instead of the other.

==Differences between generations==
===Generation I and III===
Route 4 endured minor cosmetic changes but was not unchanged. The "gates" or the gaps in the ledges used for passed up them on the eastern segment were widened significantly, while the patch of [[tall grass]] near the Cerulean City entrance has grown in size covering the entire area. In the western segment, rocks and boulders had been included in Generation III for visual effect. Apart from this, most aesthetic features have been enhanced. Trees have become bigger, flowers are more visible, and most other sprites have been upgraded to Generation III standards.

Aside from cosmetic changes, two [[Move Tutor]]s were added to the east portion of the route. Located near the Mt. Moon entrance, these tutors will teach a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} the [[move]]s {{m|Mega Punch}} and {{m|Mega Kick}}. Both tutors are jealous of the other's skills and will try to get Trainers to come to them instead of the other. Other than this, only item positions and types were changed. {{TM|04|Whirlwind}}, located on the second-highest hill was changed to {{TM|05|Roar}}. The {{Ball|Great}} hidden in the west segment was replaced by two [[berry|Berries]]; a {{b|Razz}} and a [[Persim Berry]] in similar locations.

===Generation II===
In Generation II, the western portion of Route 4 was cut off and changed to an extension of Route 3. Due to this, Route 4 western entry starts at the eastern entrance of [[Mt. Moon]], although most of the eastern portion remains the same. Along with this, the route was shortened significantly as the length between Mt. Moon and [[Cerulean City]] was slashed in half, as was the grassy area, however the layout and positioning of ledges and signposts remains mostly the same. There is no entrance to the [[Cerulean Cave]] from this route and the road is blocked off by barriers. The [[TM]] was replaced with an {{DL|Vitamin|HP Up}} and three {{pkmn|Trainer}}s were added to the route.

From Mt. Moon, Route 4 travels to the east, swerving to the north and the south to avoid ledges along the route. The path turns north, then east near a large clump of trees surrounding a grassy area. The route is a very strange route as the [[ledge]]s form a contour down the mountainside, leading Trainers due east and then south to the end of the path and a ledge that will force Trainers to go down it into a large clump of trees surrounding a grassy area. After going down this ledge, there is no return and Trainers must go east to reach Cerulean City.

===Generation IV===
Other than graphical updates, the basic layout remains the same as previous generations, but the route is no longer flat, with hills leading down from Mt. Moon to add more depth to the route. Like Generation II, the western portion of Route 4 was cut off and changed to an extension of Route 3. Due to this, Route 4's western entry starts at the eastern entrance of Mt. Moon. Items and Trainers remain the same as in Generation II. Unlike in Generation II, Cerulean Cave remains in Cerulean City, however, unlike Generations I and III, there is no return to this route from the cave, likely to prevent the player from traveling to west Kanto without restoring the [[Kanto Power Plant|Power Plant]].

==In the anime==
[[File:Kanto Route 4 anime.png|thumb|250px|Route 4 in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
{{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}}, and {{an|Brock}} hiked along Route 4 at the end of ''[[EP006|Clefairy and the Moon Stone]]''. {{Gary}}, who had been through the area before Ash, vandalized a sign to read "Gary was here! Ash is a loser!", causing Ash to lose his temper as the episode ended. The Route reappeared in the [[EP007|following episode]], where Ash and {{ashfr}} finally reached its end and arrived at [[Cerulean City]]. Unlike the games, Route 4 is a forest route, not a mountain route.
{{-}}

==In the manga==
[[File:Kanto Route 4 Adventures.png|thumb|200px|Route 4 in Pokémon Adventures]]
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
Route 4 appeared in ''[[PS006|Gyarados Splashes In!]]'' and ''[[PS007|Raging Rhydon]]''. After helping [[Misty]] to recapture her rampaging [[Gyara]]dos, {{adv|Red}} made a phone call to {{adv|Professor Oak}} from a nearby [[Pokémon Center]]. He told Red that what had happened with Gyarados was likely caused by [[Team Rocket]]. Afterwards, Red and Misty headed to [[Mt. Moon]] in search for a [[Moon Stone]].

After encountering Team Rocket inside the caves of Mt. Moon, Red and Misty exited the mountain on the eastern section of Route 4. Misty was frustrated for them failing to find a Moon Stone, until Red revealed that he had actually managed to find one when [[Pika]] had collapsed a part of the cave to prevent Team Rocket from following them.

The '''GO Park''' (Japanese: '''ＧＯパーク''' ''GO Park'') is a special Pokémon preserve present in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], located in [[Fuchsia City]] in the {{safari|Kanto}} in [[Kanto]]. It allows the player to send over Pokémon from the Kanto Pokédex, including Alola Forms, caught in [[Pokémon GO]].

==Areas==
There are 20 different GO Parks, each capable of holding up to 50 Pokémon, giving a maximum capacity of 1,000 Pokémon. Each park contains a Play Yard.

==Minigames==
[[File:GO Park Play Yard LGPE.jpg|right|thumb|An example of one of the Minigames]]
Once the player has 25 of the same species of Pokémon in the GO Park complex, a special minigame will begin in the Play Yard. In the minigame, the player is tasked with leading all the Pokémon into the goal area within the 3-minute time limit. If the player gets close enough to a Pokémon, it will follow the player. If the player bumps into one of the obstacles placed around the field, the Pokémon currently following them will become surprised and run away. If all the Pokémon enter the goal area within the time limit, candies will be awarded to the player.

==Pokémon==
The player will be able to catch any Pokémon transferred over from Pokémon GO. Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go Eevee can receive any of the first 150 Pokémon, as well as {{p|Meltan}} and {{p|Melmetal}}. {{p|Mew}} and Pokémon with special accessories, such as [[Pikachu variants#Pokémon GO|Holiday Pikachu]] and Sunglasses {{p|Squirtle}}, cannot be transferred. Like transfers through [[Pal Park]] or [[Poké Transporter]], these transfers are one-way only, and cannot be sent back to GO.

===Mechanics===
Pokémon transferred through GO Park have {{IV}}s reflect their stats in GO, multiplied by 2. Because Special Attack and Special Defense do not exist in GO, they are set to be equal to Attack and Defense. Meanwhile, its Speed IV and [[nature]] are determined at random, and can be hard reset by saving before encountering the Pokémon and resetting until the desired result is met. For example: if an {{alo|Vulpix}} had these stats in GO:

{| class="roundy" width="650px" style="background: #{{platinum color}}; border: 3px solid #{{platinum color light}}"
|- style="text-align:center"
| class="roundyleft" rowspan=2 style="background: #fff; width: 14%" | [[File:037Vulpix-Alola.png|100px]]
| style="background: #f00; width: 14%" | '''Hit Points'''
| style="background: #f93; width: 14%" | '''Attack'''
| class="roundytr" style="background: #fc3; width: 14%" | '''Defense'''
|- style="text-align:center"
| style="background: #fff; width: 14%" | 8
| style="background: #fff; width: 14%" | 15
| class="roundybr" style="background: #fff; width: 14%" | 4
|}

It would could possibly have these IVs in Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!

{{Hidden Power calculation/IV|16|31|8|25|31|8|037Vulpix-Alola.png{{!}}100px}}

The Pokémon completely forgets all [[move]]s it knew in GO, including special event moves, and its moves are reset to moves it would know by level up in Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go Eevee!.

== The Preview Button ==
Instead of editing a page several times in a row, try using the preview button to make sure your edit looks the way you want it to. It's right next to the Save Changes button... Please try it out, so as not to clog up the Recent Changes. Thanks! --[[User:Pokemaster97|--Pokemaster]][[User talk:Pokemaster97|97]] 00:09, 15 March 2012 (UTC)
:If you want to edit section by section, why not edit the whole page instead of doing it by sections. It would be much easier.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 02:16, 15 March 2012 (UTC)
::I would edit the whole (like I did on the Korea event Pokemon for 2011), but with the other event pages there is so much text and coding when editing the whole page that when you use the preview button and change something after the fact then you have to scroll through hundreds of lines to find that particular section. The Korea event Pokemon only have a few events distributed each year, unlock the other countries (Japan, USA, and PAL) that have well over 20 events (USA would have somewhat less than other countries) per a given year. I make it more work by editing each section, but it prevents me from making mistakes (since you lose your place once you use the preview button).--[[User:Lady Ariel|Lady Ariel]] 21:21, 15 March 2012 (UTC)
:::You should still work on using the preview button more. Yes you might have to scroll, but just try to get used to knowing where you're at.

Always remember to put the format of the image (ex:thumb), number of pixels (as to make the size of the image), position (left or right) and the description. Here's an example, thank you!

== Black 2? ==

You're playing Black 2? If yes, do you maybe remember where was TM28? In White 2 it's on {{rt|4|Unova}}... but in that part which differs between versions. [[User:Marked +-+-+|Marked +-+-+]] ([[User talk:Marked +-+-+|talk]]) 16:35, 2 July 2012 (UTC) PS. Where you found the trade for Petilil in Black 2 (it's on Route 4, but where specifically?)? I have White 2, so I may confirm if there is trade for Cottonee there.
:Yes I am playing Black 2. I don't remember where I got TM28, but I already have it so I probably obtained it on Route 4. I found the trade in one of the houses when you first enter from Castelia City. I think it was the first one on the right, but it could have been the second one. I am pretty confident that the house was on the right side though. [[User:Lady Ariel|Lady Ariel]] ([[User talk:Lady Ariel|talk]]) 16:44, 2 July 2012 (UTC)
Do you know where the move relearner is? It seems to be no longer in Mistralton City... or maybe I have just bad luck. I didn't find it yet, so asking. [[User:Marked +-+-+|Marked +-+-+]] ([[User talk:Marked +-+-+|talk]]) 18:39, 2 July 2012 (UTC)
:I think the move relearner is located at the Pokémon World Tournament. I also think the Move Deleter is there as well. I don't know where they are located at the Pokémon World Tournament though. [[User:Lady Ariel|Lady Ariel]] ([[User talk:Lady Ariel|talk]]) 18:44, 2 July 2012 (UTC)

== ""Trubbish is here in White 2 instead of Minccino" ==

::I will look into this later, but I remember encounterng a Trubbish in one of the two versions on Route 4. I don't remember if it was Black 2 or White 2, but I think it was White 2. I am not 100% certain though, but I will look into the area later today. [[User:Lady Ariel|Lady Ariel]] ([[User talk:Lady Ariel|talk]]) 15:11, 14 July 2012 (UTC)

== {{m|Aerial Ace}} ==

Is it just my game, or does it have a new animation? The animation we have now doesn't have a red stripe-like stuff in animation... [[User:Marked +-+-+|Marked +-+-+]] ([[User talk:Marked +-+-+|talk]]) 13:14, 17 July 2012 (UTC)
:It isn't just your game (which is White 2 if I remeber correctly), but in Black 2 I have the same thing. I tested it on my Yanmega to make sure, but I also get a red stipe in the animation. [[User:Lady Ariel|Lady Ariel]] ([[User talk:Lady Ariel|talk]]) 14:30, 17 July 2012 (UTC)

== pokemon listing on location pages ==

hi. according to [[Bulbapedia:Project_Locations#Pokémon|this page]]:

"Lists should be organized in order of location, then highest to lowest encounter rate. If the encounter rate for a Pokémon is lower in a different game, a repeat of the entry should be made directly underneath except with that particular game highlighted (instead of in the initial entry), and the different encounter rate stated. In the case of multiple Pokémon with the same encounter rate, Pokémon should be listed in order of games they are available in, then their National Pokédex number."

even though i am not part of the project, just to let you know cause i see that you arranged them in national dex order. thanks -[[User:Pokeant|Pokeant]] ([[User talk:Pokeant|talk]]) 06:16, 28 July 2012 (UTC)

== Trainer class moves ==

Did you check the games to make sure those classes were fully spelled out? -- '''[[User:MAGNEDETH|MAG]][[Special:Contributions/MAGNEDETH|NE]][[User talk:MAGNEDETH|DETH]]''' 00:00, 5 August 2012 (UTC)
:They aren't fully spelled out, but the Mt. Battle Master has no period in the name. It is just Mt BtlMaster, which just looks confusing. I think this would become very confusing even with the period, since Btl isn't a common abbreviation. [[User:Lady Ariel|Lady Ariel]] ([[User talk:Lady Ariel|talk]]) 02:17, 5 August 2012 (UTC)
::As confusing as they are, that's what they are in the game, and that's what we use. After all, they aren't "Black" Apricorns, they're "Blk [[Apricorn]]s", right? -- '''[[User:MAGNEDETH|MAG]][[Special:Contributions/MAGNEDETH|NE]][[User talk:MAGNEDETH|DETH]]''' 02:34, 5 August 2012 (UTC)
:::That is true. However should the move templates be removed from the articles then? [[User:Lady Ariel|Lady Ariel]] ([[User talk:Lady Ariel|talk]]) 17:18, 5 August 2012 (UTC)
::::Yes, they should. Since we're keeping the class name as it's shown in-game, the moves shouldn't even be discussed. [[User:Masatoshi|Masatoshi]][[User_talk:Masatoshi|''talk'']] 01:15, 7 August 2012 (UTC)

== N's Pokémon and Memory Link Incomplete Article Problem ==

Since nobody can provide pictures to the archives if they aren't a moderator/administrator, why not check out Serebii's coverage for [[Memory Link]]? It will provide photos of [[N's Pokémon]] when encountered, as well as a flashback of the [[Striaton Gym]] [[Gym Leader|Gym Leaders]]. It would really help people on Bulbapedia get a better grasp of what would be going on. You don't have to take directly from Serebii unless you want to ask permission to use the pictures. [[User:Zorocario|Zorocario]] ([[User talk:Zorocario|talk]]) 01:22, 5 August 2012 (UTC)

== Celestial Tower glitch ==

You said you had confirmed that it was a glitch. How did you do that? I know that it happens, but it seems no different to the other special behavior Trainers (Cyclists and Bikers accelerating when you press B; fleeing Trainers in B1F of the Dreamyard; most B1F [[Wellspring Cave]] Trainers respond to the B button). --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 08:04, 17 August 2012 (UTC)
:All I did was go to the 3F (I think that was the floor, but it was the floor listed in the glitch). I stood still upon entering the floor and all I did was press B, and the trainers rotated. The other floors don't do this, only the floors listed in the glitch. They all rotated one cycle (for example a trainer was facing forward and when the B button was pressed they were facing right or left) each time the B button was pressed. I don't think this was intened, because they probably would have done this on the other floors as well then.

Rebirth Mountain is also missing information about items in Black 2, specifically where the items are located and what items. Also the Nature Sanctuary is missing images from all of the seasons (Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter). Also the Victory in Black 2 and White 2 needs information of the trainers from Black 2, and maybe more information about the layout in Black 2 (since it differs).

== Pikachu personality ==

Hey, so you removed "Colress controlled Pikachu in BW112, although Pikachu was able to overload and destroy the device controlling him with his electricity" from the personality section with all the other times Pikachu was controlled because it was viewed as not notable. However, I feel it is notable because it goes along with all the other times Pikachu was controlled which are also listed in the personality section. Could you please explain why this is not notable. [[User:Nuckles123|Nuckles123]] ([[User talk:Nuckles123|talk]]) 01:56, 17 May 2013 (UTC)
:Pikachu being controlled, which has happened numerous times, doesn't really contribute anything to the personality and characteristics section. The personality and characteristic section should be focused on the personality and characteristic traits of that Pokémon, and being controlled isn't really something unique to a given Pokémon. In addition, Pikachu has been controlled so many times it has become a little redundant and less notable. '''[[User:Lady Ariel|Lady]] [[User talk:Lady Ariel|Ariel]]''' 01:59, 17 May 2013 (UTC)
::Very well. However shouldn't the other times Pikachu was controlled be removed as well or put in a different section if this is true? [[User:Nuckles123|Nuckles123]] ([[User talk:Nuckles123|talk]]) 02:01, 17 May 2013 (UTC)
:::The times when Pikachu was controlled is in the personality and characteristics section merely prove that it isn't always loyal to Ash, which is common sense if you are being controlled unwillingly. However the information could be moved to the history section, but I am not sure if it is notable there either. It would probably be a better idea to ask [[User talk: Kenji-girl|Kenji-girl]] if the information should be removed completely or moved to another section on the page.

== Pokémon Tales changes ==

Hi. I notice you've changed the navigation links/text I had on a couple of the [[Pokémon Tales]] book articles. (FYI I reverted the first one.) I won't say my way is necessarily perfect, but I do believe it's better than what you're changing it to. IMO, it's much better to be able to immediately see which link is which (English order or Japanese order) rather than having to hover over something to figure it out.

Is the way I originally had it so bad, and it must be changed? Because if that's the case, I might have an idea, depending on what exactly you think the problem is. Or can we just stick with my way after all? [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 21:58, 4 November 2013 (UTC)
:Numerous pages require hovering over a piece of text in order to see a little note. The way you had it wasn't so bad, but it doesn't match up with the "notes" for countless other pages across Bulbapedia. And since numerous pages across Bulbapedia require hovering over text to see something, the way I changed it to made more sense in terms of consistency. Personally I don't like either way, and I think the infobox template should be updated for this type of situation. '''[[User:Lady Ariel|Lady]] [[User talk:Lady Ariel|Ariel]]''' 22:12, 4 November 2013 (UTC)
::I shall suggest that something [[Triple_battle#In_Pok.C3.A9mon_Black_2_and_White_2|like this]], where it says "[[Charles]] on {{rt|5|Unova}}{{sup/5|W2}}/in [[Driftveil City]]{{sup/5|B2}}", is closer to the situation here. From what you're saying, I feel like I could argue that those W2 and B2 notes should be something you need to hover over instead of being able to see it right away, and that'd be perfectly fine. But IMO it's not, neither for those W2/B2 notes nor for the EN/JP navigation text.

::Rather than just doing it like I was, then, allow me to suggest doing it like those W2/B2 notes. I've edited the [[Togepi's Tears]] page to reflect exactly what I'm proposing.

::::Okay, I'll change those in the near future. On a related note, though, do you have to change things like "5th" to "fifth"? Is that actually in a style manual or something somewhere?

I wouldn't really know how to number the specials or GS and later Tales, though... (My point being that that would somewhat lessen the value of numerals in the page's body.)

From that diff I linked just now, you added that the Mew was distributed at the Canadian Pokémon Stadium Tour 2000. Is this one and the same of the United States [[Pokémon 2000 Stadium Tour]]? I only ask cause I am shocked we even had events back then (I certainly don't remember any cause I figure I would have at least read about them, we sure heard enough about the American tours in publications and stuff ^^') and especially since we got ''ripped off'' during Generation III any early events in Canada really interests me especially for the {{pmin|Canada|Project Globe article}}. So ya any additional info you have about the events would be pretty awesome cause I'd like to add it to the tour's page and to the Canada page as well. Thanks in advance!!

:I know there is more Generation I and II events, but they haven't been added to the page yet. However most of them have no official sources, only posts from people on forums (with incomplete information). Those events were updated and added in calibration with {{u|SnorlaxMonster}} (as part of a major event overhaul). If I remember correctly we found a link on an archived page of the Canadian official site, but the actual news article wasn't archived. Upon that discovery we assumed the forum posts linked on the page you linked were from the tour. We know there was a Toys "R" Us Mew in Canada as well (found a person on another forum and got information from them). I will check my communication logs later and add what other information that we know about in a new post here.

== Layout borders and colors ==

Are borders for layout sections supposed to be 3 px and dark? Cause most layout image sections I updated were 5 px and medium, until I saw you making them 3 px and dark. See Mt. Mortar, Ruins of Alph, and Goldenrod Tunnel for instance (there are many more examples). Is there an official standard for this?

:Most layout section tables have a 5px and medium colored border. However, most of the tables on this wiki use a 3px and a dark colored border. So if they were to be consistent with a large portion of the other tables, then it should be a 3px and dark colored border.

== Good Afternoon ==

First off, if I gave you any reason to imply that I was being unhelpful and unconstructive last week, I apologize for that (from your post on my talk page and my reply); I was not trying to do that at all and can explain the comment further if you'd like. I have something related to bring up today, meanwhile.

Last nite, I finally got to post my [[User:CycloneGU/TMHM6|completed template]] in my userspace. It lists all 101 TMs (counting both TM94s in there) and 7 HMs. All contest data is included. Emphasis is automatically noted for all attacking moves (not for status moves, where I believe it's irrelevant). This can be immediately used as a reference for completing data on any of the TM tables to convert all "breed5" entries to "breed6" and I plan to create full tables one at a time, likewly taking 5-10 minutes apiece. This is something anyone can help with (as it will take a long time with 719, and eventually 721, Pokémon), and I welcome anyone using that template. I can provide editing directions so that the edits are done seamlessly and keep track of them via Recent Changes to follow up on any errors as well. The only things for anyone using a Pokémon's existing data to construct a full list are to include Secret Power everywhere, add HM06 where TM94 already exists (the XY and ORAS coding is on each), and use {{m|Dive}} as research for adding that TM since Gen. VI lists don't have it (Dive was not available in X/Y, and I will take on the Kalos set for that detail after I import all of them upon getting the National Dex).

Can you please review and determine if any other work is needed there? I'm going to start editing some pages using this template this evening, and you're also welcome to use this if you'd like in editing; just make a copy of the source to edit locally if you plan to use it to update any TM lists, then copy what you edit locally to the page being edited so that you don't accidentally save in the userspace, or even just copy individual lines if you see a page partially done (I'd just do the whole page to ensure it's correct). Usage directions would be to begin copying from where the ORAS tag is added in the header and not copy the area where the Pokémon's name and types (MissingNo., ???) are located, and the footer can either include it or not (on the template, I included it in case there are formatting changes later to the Gen. VI version, but I suppose such a change could later be bot-edited if needed across all pages). Let me know what you think! I'll start working on some tables later this evening. [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 17:10, 23 December 2014 (UTC)

::For now I'm going with the presumption that Dive can be learned by all who could learn it before (and since we can move HMs from Unova, they can be imported with it anyway). I'll be checking the Kalos Pokémon after getting the National Dex; I want to catch any that can be caught in the game myself without importing them (if possible in the main map area), but I will likely import babies or final evolutions after cloning my set from Kalos. I can eventually pull them out six at a time for testing and do the list in one shot, and that will allow for easy addition to the TM lists. In my game, I have caught everything up to Route 127 except Tentacruel (waiting to evolve it), so Groudon is my next stop. I'll scan the lists and see if Kalos species can be caught anywhere (seems to be mostly Unova with others sprinkled in so far) and leave any of those not imported for now, and test everything I do import with those that I catch in-game.

== Table Structure ==

I'm working on the Pokémon Rumble World pages in my userspace (the number of userspace edits I'm making is astronomical LOL) and have just finished and moved [[Gold Plateau]] and [[Silver Isles]] to the mainspace. I noticed you changing tables on several similar pages, I think yesterday. Do you mind taking a look at this and the four similar pages in my userspace (note: those four are not finished, but tables are set up and can be structured) so tables are set up however they are currently preferred?

The four in my userspace right now are for Diamond Crater, Pearl Marsh, Black Realm, and White Ruins. They still need more work and, given the longer time between trips, will take more time. I may try to grab the Kalos balloons soon and will add those projects at that time. It's funny, but seeing Let's Plays of the other games, I think these games are better than the ones they are charging money for. I'm actually finding it worthwhile to possibly buy Diamonds to support it. Funny, that. [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 02:28, 22 April 2015 (UTC)
:I wouldn't mind taking a look at the tables, but I don't know if I will have time today to take a look at them and fix them accordingly. If I don't have a chance today I should be able to look at them tomorrow. '''[[User:Lady Ariel|Lady]] [[User talk:Lady Ariel|Ariel]]''' 22:23, 22 April 2015 (UTC)
::No worries. I'm taking best guesses at some of the areas, and have coloured everything through the pages I've created recently. The main thing is if any have any difference in preferred template being used or whether some areas are actually different than what I've labelled (and I just don't know it's in the template). To this point, [[Black Realm]] and [[White Ruins (Rumble World)|White Ruins]] are the latest moved into mainspace.

== Tables ==

The tables on the Rumble U area pages had widths in place before I got to them, and I left them because they provide for the tables to look consistent. I did this at [[Pokémon Shuffle]] as well a few weeks ago when I split the one huge table into 13 separate tables. Is there a reason for removing them? [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 23:59, 1 June 2015 (UTC)
:Well the widths created a whole lot of excess white space on the sides, which was really the only reason for removing them. '''[[User:Lady Ariel|Lady]] [[User talk:Lady Ariel|Ariel]]''' 00:09, 2 June 2015 (UTC)
::I can see that point. Perhaps I can find a way to reduce widths on each page; the 40 was put in place on the first of the two columns, and 150 for the entire table (meaning the second column is automatically 110); if tables allow it, I could try to reduce to 130 or 140 on some pages. There may even be some that need increasing. I just never think it looks good to have the table content mashed right up against the border.

== Spacing ==

''"Why is there so much excessive spacing for the Order and Pokémon columns on Stage 4?"''

I want to understand this, but I'll try to answer what I can.
*The "Order" column's excessive space, as it seems, is caused by "Order" itself. It takes up the entire width, and there is no set width.
*The "Pokémon" column can sometimes have ten-letter names, so I am using the trick I used in the [[Pokémon Rumble U]] tables and am setting the Pokémon column for a set width. The intent is to then limit the column for the images to 40 pixels of width. I have to upload some images and preview to see how one page looks with the newer images, but I did a small test in my [[User:CycloneGU/Sandbox#Pokémon_Puzzle_Games|Sandbox]] (with my humour on display by calling [[MissingNo.]] appearing as "victory".

Did I misunderstand your question, or does that clarify? Also, I was about to change to the forest skin and you beat me to it; it matches the area. I have to check the next ones as I do them. [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 20:52, 25 June 2015 (UTC)

:I think I just learned what happened. I didn't have "Pokémon" set, only the first of the two columns. When Abcboy made the column width removal edit, it obviously lengthened the column automatically (the text does it on wide screens), and I experimented with using table width instead [http://oi60.tinypic.com/24o5z4o.jpg with very bad results] before settling on the current format at [[Renegade Meadow]]. Does that look all right to you? I will be doing the next two zones this evening with uploading images and fixing the tables for that, as well. [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 22:52, 25 June 2015 (UTC)
::There is still some excessive spacing in your version (and not all tables were even the same width), but the problem seems to be the width for the "Appearance Conditions" column. I have tweaked the tables on the [[Renegade Meadow]] page, which pretty much kept the same width in the "Appearance Conditions" column. This was accomplished by removing the width from that line of text and replacing it with a table width and setting all the other columns with set widths. How does that look for you? '''[[User:Lady Ariel|Lady]] [[User talk:Lady Ariel|Ariel]]''' 23:44, 25 June 2015 (UTC)
:::Sadly, that still doesn't quite work. Looking at the most recent revision, where I've added the Typetable template (thanks for that BTW!), it looks like [http://oi60.tinypic.com/34t2xvn.jpg this]. The problem is that the table columns still do not line up. Internet Explorer duplicates this.
:::I am starting to worry that the only way to make it work uniformly on all browsers is to make not only every column have a set width, but also have every table set in addition to that. [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 00:49, 26 June 2015 (UTC)
::::To clarify this better...even though you set a width for the Pokémon column, the table width makes the table decide to omit whitespace in the last column, thereby adding extra white space to the Pokémon column that is unneeded. It makes the tables inconsistent. [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 00:53, 26 June 2015 (UTC)
{{indent}}

Let's start fresh here. I have set Appearance Conditions to the 200 width and left everything else intact. All columns now have set widths. The table has a set width of the total of the columns. How does that look? [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 00:59, 26 June 2015 (UTC)
:Honestly it looks the same as when I added the table width with everything lining up, except I just made the table bigger by a few pixels since Chesnaught's name went all the way to the border for me. '''[[User:Lady Ariel|Lady]] [[User talk:Lady Ariel|Ariel]]''' 01:09, 26 June 2015 (UTC)
::So the problem might be the font size in your browser? The font I'm using is Times New Roman at a size of 16, unless Bulbapedia is overriding that. However, I don't think it's overriding because the font appears different for you, so it could be your browser font settings causing the tables to expand?

I took part in the Pikachu Cup tournament. The tournament started for me on August 20 at 8 PM. If we use GMT time, then yes, it's August 21.

== Pokémon Sunday Events ==

Do we not list those? I checked Serebii's EventDex for a Meowth I received via a trade and found it there, but we don't list the Pokémon Sunday Meowth here. See [http://www.serebii.net/events/dex/052.shtml#2008 2008].

Interestingly, they list a PokéPark Egg for Meowth as well; same as the 50318 one, but with a new move and, because it's an Egg, no set OT and ID.

Note I'm not saying use them as a source in any way, but in the case of Pokémon Sunday Meowth, I have and can confirm its legitimacy. [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 16:26, 12 September 2015 (UTC)

:Okay as for the first Meowth mentioned we have it listed on [[Hayley's trades]] since it was a My Pokémon Ranch exclusive event (and only in Japanese versions too). And since it wasn't distributed locally or via Wi-Fi to main games it isn't listed anywhere else.

:As for the second Meowth, in all my years of working with events and collecting them I have never found any evidence for a PokéPark Egg Meowth. I have never found a single archived link either for the event. However, if Serebii is anything to go by it is the same as the {{DL|List of Japanese event Pokémon distributions in Generation III|Egg Pokémon Present Eggs|Egg Pokémon Present Meowth}}, which leads me to believe it probably is a copy and paste error of some sort (and it wouldn't be the first time that occurs on Serebii). However, I have a very reliable friend who has been trading events for longer than I have and has one of the most complete collections out there that I can ask. '''[[User:Lady Ariel|Lady]] [[User talk:Lady Ariel|Ariel]]''' 16:04, 13 September 2015 (UTC)

They should be considered in-game events, since they weren't distributed to the main games directly and they don't have Wonder Cards. And the "In events" section is reserved for events that were distributed to the main games directly and have Wonder Cards (with an exception for events traded directly to main games).

== PGL Tyrunt/Amaura, etc ==

I'm posing this question to you since I know you edit the event pages a lot. Some event Pokemon have disambiguation pages like [[Spooky 2014 Super Size Pumpkaboo]], but some like the PGL Tyrunt ([[Tyrunt (Pokémon)#In events]]) do not. Looking at the {{cat|Event Pokémon}} category, it seems like (mostly intuitively) perhaps there are actually a significant number of event Pokemon that do not have such disambiguation pages. Is there a particular reason that some event Pokemon have such pages and some don't?

(In particular, I want pages like [[Spooky 2014 Super Size Pumpkaboo]] to make event links on [[User:Tiddlywinks/List of Pokémon with released Hidden Abilities by availability]] simpler (one link to the disambig page instead of multiple links to the pages for each region). PGL Amaura/Tyrunt are one example that's currently missing, but there are probably others with their HA that were distributed in multiple regions (miscellaneous {{p|Pikachu}} events, I know).) [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 02:09, 11 October 2015 (UTC)
:Yeah I stopped making those disambig and redirect pages for events a few months ago. The reality is that redirects or disambig pages should exist for each event, mainly because of the [[List of notable ID numbers]] page which is extremely outdated. There really isn't any reason why they stopped being made, but pretty much every event from about February of this year to now are lacking them.

== Relearnable Move Marking ==

I thought convention was that bolding indicates special moves that are not otherwise known but can be retaught at the [[Move Reminder]]. Bolding is not used on moves that can be learned normally by that Pokémon as they are automatically relearnable anyway. Using your technique, all four moves would be bolded for every single event in the 6th gen. [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 18:00, 5 November 2015 (UTC)
:Actually the convention is to bold any moves that are marked as relearnable in the Wonder Card coding. So it is very possible for a event to have a event-exclusive move and not be able to relearn it, because when the Wonder Card was made they forgot to mark it as a relearnable move. And of course that also means that when a Wonder Card is made they could just mark all the moves as relearnable. Also not all events have all four moves marked as relearnable in the Wonder Card and it is something that has only started occurring in the last couple of months for certain events (Shigeki Morimoto's Pokémon were the first to do it). '''[[User:Lady Ariel|Lady]] [[User talk:Lady Ariel|Ariel]]''' 18:49, 5 November 2015 (UTC)
::I think we need to revisit that convention for recent events, then. Because it makes no sense to mark four moves that can all be learned by Xerneas via in-game means as if they are special moves, which is what they usually tend to be. If I replace Geomancy, I expect to be able to relearn it as a move reminder, so the bold tells me nothing I don't already know. [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 18:59, 5 November 2015 (UTC)
:::To add to that, in the template, it says, "Moves in '''bold''' can be taught again at the Move Reminder as a special move if forgotten." This implies special moves. [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 19:02, 5 November 2015 (UTC)
::::I am not sure what the wording in the template would mean. But when SnorlaxMonster and I discussed the relearnable moves when he was working on the new G6event template, the point was to mark all moves that are marked as relearnable in the Wonder Card in bold. It pretty much is just a way to show additional event information and it wouldn't be correct to remove them, since they are relearnable moves in the Wonder Card (and they were programmed as such by Nintendo). If anything should be revised is the wording to acknowledge the fact that they are relearnable moves in the Wonder Card and they might not be only special moves. '''[[User:Lady Ariel|Lady]] [[User talk:Lady Ariel|Ariel]]''' 19:14, 5 November 2015 (UTC)
:::::Hmm. My personal opinion is that it's better to highlight the special moves as the actual viewing of the Wonder Card information over two years will now be inconsistent for the viewer, regardless of what the data set shows. I think it would be better to highlight just the special moves that are not normally learned, and those being relearnable, with the rest being assumed yes or no based on their learnset and tutor moves/TMs. But that's my opinion. [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 02:08, 6 November 2015 (UTC)
::::::A bit late here, but I actually changed the wording to that to clarify that they are special moves, since moves the Pokémon can learn via level-up can also be taught by the Move Reminder. Note that they will always appear at the top of the list at the Move Reminder, just like Egg Moves that are also level-up moves. From a Move Relearner perspective, they're just as much special moves as event-exclusive moves. (Also, it's worth noting that it's possible for the relearnable special moves to mismatch the moves the Pokémon currently knows, but this hasn't happen yet so it's not currently an issue.) --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 02:13, 14 January 2016 (UTC)

== 20th Anniversary List ==

I think it would be prudent to update all 11 Mythical distributions as much as we possibly can. At this point, all 11 Pokémon are announced at the source, with Celebi in March, Jirachi in April, and so on. Rather than list each distribution date for each specific one in the prose, I think it might be better in this case to say the 1st to 24th, and it seems like all "use" periods will be the same. I'll do some work on this. [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 18:49, 13 January 2016 (UTC)
:Not sure what you mean in the first sentence about updating all of them as much as possible. Also not sure about what you mean that they were announced at the source. However, it should be noted that there is a good possibly the serial code events will have different dates the codes will be given away in different countries. Especially since it is very likely many countries are going to be participating in the 20th Anniversary, so it is more than likely it will be different for some countries (and not all are guaranteed to be announced on Pokemon20.com). However, there probably is a better way to word the Nintendo Network distributions as those dates aren't going to change (expect the slim possibly for PAL region games). '''[[User:Lady Ariel|Lady]] [[User talk:Lady Ariel|Ariel]]''' 19:40, 13 January 2016 (UTC)
::I was actually mistaken on something there; I thought all were going to have the same distribution methods. We can definitely add in more as each country announces what they are doing (hey, we have to, after all LOL), but for now, I'm suggesting the change to the prose I provided ojn the serial codes page (the format can be copied to the other page). If it doesn't pass for this use, then we'll go from there, but I think it's a lot less wordy, especially considering that other countries have to be added and it would make the prose more sleep-inducing to leave it the way it was. [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 20:17, 13 January 2016 (UTC)
:::Just saw the reversion. How is what I said more confusing? Wouldn't we just have to add "in the Americas" to space it out? We have to do that, anyway, once other countries announce their plans. [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 20:26, 13 January 2016 (UTC)
::::I undid the prose change on the serial code page for now (however that will work for the Nintendo Network page). The reality is only the first and third paragraphs are likely going to stay there for long. Since the locations were the codes are given away are most likely going to be moved to a table (just like how they are listed for the [[List of American region serial code event Pokémon distributions in Generation VI#Serial code locations and dates|October 2014 Pokémon]]). Also the way the expiration dates were listed didn't make much sense as people probably don't want to figure out what month is a certain amount of time away. Not sure what you mean about adding "in the Americas" though. '''[[User:Lady Ariel|Lady]] [[User talk:Lady Ariel|Ariel]]''' 20:32, 13 January 2016 (UTC)
:::::I meant in the prose saying "In the Americas, Mew was available..." etc., and if PAL regions differ, then add "In PAL regions, Mew was available..." and so on with those dates. And so on for each one.

:::::That said, if they go to a table format, then it won't be an issue, anyway. I'll wait until more information comes out on those as the OT will possible be different by country, anyway (and if that happens, the table would have to include differing information between the Pokémon, in which case a single entry can refer to the table for differing information, such as at [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/List_of_local_Japanese_event_Pok%C3%A9mon_distributions_in_Generation_V#Train_stations Train Station Pokémon] which has differing OTs and that reference). Once more information comes out, perhaps I can find a simpler way to put it with that information at that time if it doesn't go to a table, so I'll stand by for now on that one. [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 20:44, 13 January 2016 (UTC)
::::::Okay first it seems there is a few things you don't seem to understand about the mechanics of the events in Generation VI (which seem to be creating some confusion). Events go by region (so all the codes given in the US will only be able to be used in American region systems, but lets say in a hypothetical situation GamePlanet in Mexico gives codes away they will also be American region and will be the same Pokémon as the codes from the US). However there is a possibly a country will extend the date of the codes, which will in the end effect all codes (even if they aren't from that country but are for the same region - which is exactly what has happened multiple times with the Harry Hoopa for PAL region games).

::::::However, all codes that will be given away in European countries, Australia, and New Zealand will be PAL region codes and therefore could be different from the ones to the American region (and thus they have to go on the PAL region serial code and Nintendo Network pages). For example the Diancie given away by serial code to American region games had a different OT than the ones given away by serial code for PAL region games. The information will not change based on the country they are given away in (but instead could change based off of region like American or PAL). However, it is possible the OT will change based on the language of the game (which would be listed like the October 2014 Pokémon example I noted earlier). Also those train station events were a local distribution (with different distribution carts/stations at each train station) and in a different Generation (with different mechanics). Events in previous Generations were distributed based on game language (regardless of region), but that isn't the case in Generation VI where regions are used instead (except for local events).

::::::To summarize this long post, lets put it very simply. The serial codes are pretty much the password that is required to unlock the event on the Nintendo Network (which gives away the event to all systems in one particular region, which will be Japanese, Korean, Taiwanese, American, or PAL). '''[[User:Lady Ariel|Lady]] [[User talk:Lady Ariel|Ariel]]''' 21:12, 13 January 2016 (UTC)
:::::::I know exactly how they work. My turn to summarize what I meant: let's see what the event information is for other countries. That will in turn dictate how the information in the prose is to be presented. Obviously it's the same Pokémon, just with slightly differing OTs (possibly differing IDs as well in some cases), and that's where using a table presentation might benefit it. Until other information is known, it's obviously impossible to make those kinds of changes. For now, I'm leaving the prose on the serial codes page alone.

::::::::The official site has actually posted all of the information about the English events (except for the Nature). Also I forgot to mention this earlier about those Train Station Pokémon in Generation V. There actually is a plan in place to update all of the G#event templates (which are G1event, G2event, G3event, G4event, and G5event) to a design similar to the ones currently in use for Generation VI. Part of that plan includes a way to remove those tables on those pages for events with different met locations (Birthday Audino) and/or different OTs. So the layouts on those pages aren't exactly up to the standard that they should be until new templates are made (and also the reason I am working off and on to add additional locations events were distributed at but aren't listed currently).

== Raichu Deck ==

[[Venusaur/Charizard/Blastoise Random Constructed Starter Decks (TCG)|This]] is the way to format it ''[[User:Maverick Nate|'''Maverick''']][[User talk:Maverick Nate|'''Nate''']]'' 23:11, 12 February 2016 (UTC)
:Thanks for that link, I figured there had to be a similar one but I couldn't find it. Also the other three decks (Torterra, Infernape, and Empoleon) that go along with the Raichu deck use the exact same alternatives as the Raichu deck. So shouldn't they really be just one page like the example you just linked to? '''[[User:Lady Ariel|Lady]] [[User talk:Lady Ariel|Ariel]]''' 23:17, 12 February 2016 (UTC)
::That's probably a reasonable change. ''[[User:Maverick Nate|'''Maverick''']][[User talk:Maverick Nate|'''Nate''']]'' 00:13, 13 February 2016 (UTC)
:::So would "Torterra/Infernape/Empoleon/Raichu Random Constructed Half Decks (KTCG)" work as the title? Also someone will have to remove the other links from the [[template:Korean Releases|Korean Releases]] template. And speaking of that template is there any reason why the {{KTCG|Evolution of Water}}, {{KTCG|Evolution of Grass}}, and {{KTCG|Evolution of Fire}} decks aren't listed in there (along with a couple other decks that were released in South Korea that slightly differ from the Japanese counterpart)? '''[[User:Lady Ariel|Lady]] [[User talk:Lady Ariel|Ariel]]''' 01:26, 13 February 2016 (UTC)
::::Despite being long, that's probably fine. Honestly, things aren't listed for Korean because we haven't been able to develop that section as much as we would have liked. It's a lot of sifting through false information posted by the only websites that previously reported on korean cards in English. ''[[User:Maverick Nate|'''Maverick''']][[User talk:Maverick Nate|'''Nate''']]'' 02:19, 13 February 2016 (UTC)
:::::Okay I will take care of the page tomorrow. Also is okay how I formatted the three different sets of Colorless cards on the Raichu Deck page? Not sure if you are aware of this or not but the official Korean site has all cards from the PCG Series and on in a card database (hence how I was able to get the promo list for BW). Also the Korean site has product information for all products from BW and on. In addition I stumbled upon archives of some older Korean TCG material too (although there doesn't appear to be a lot of information from what I have searched through so far).

Hi, you have knowledge about Pokémon Adventures in other languages, all the localizations names in all the elements, by the way already out the Spanish version of the GSC chapter, the protagonists' names are Oro (Gold) and Plata (Silver), the nicknames of the main characters' Pokémon are the same in Spanish and/or French languages like the English ones.? --[[User:HoopsterJohn|HoopsterJohn]] ([[User talk:HoopsterJohn|talk]]) 03:36, 13 July 2016 (UTC)

Hello! I've been collecting the Brazilian Portuguese translations from the eighth volume of Pokémon Adventures, but I need some help to identify the Japanese equivalent of two of them. Could you help me with these?
* On page 117 of PS097, when Gold is talking to the sage, did he use the word "ぼうず ''Monk''" in the Japanese version? In the Chuang Yi version I'm following, he just called him "mister monk dude" instead of "Sage".
* On Gold's Pokédex at the end of the volume, did the Egg come from a Pokémon Breeder or the Pokémon Day-Care? The Brazilian translation they used could mean either of those, and I haven't been able to find the Engish version of those pages.

'''Slowpoke''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ヤドン''' ''Yadon'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Psychic}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Slowbro}} starting at [[level]] 37 or {{p|Slowking}} when [[trade]]d holding a [[King's Rock]].

==Biology==
Slowpoke is a pink creature that resembles a cross between a salamander and a hippopotamus. Its vacant eyes never seem focused, and it has curled ears and a rounded, tan muzzle. It has four legs, each of which ends in a single white claw. Its long, tapering tail has a white tip. This tail drips a sweet, sappy substance that is attractive to many species of fish. Slowpoke uses it as a lure for fishing, and it will grow back if cut off. In Alola, its tail is often dried and used in home cooked stews.

Slowpoke has notoriously dim intellect, and often forgets what it was doing. It takes a long time to respond to outside stimuli. For example, it can take up to five seconds to process pain and can take an entire day to notice when its tail has been bitten. Slowpoke is commonly found at the {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon|water's edge.}}

==In the anime==
[[File:Slowpoke anime.png|250px|thumb|left|Slowpoke in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]

===Major appearances===
A Slowpoke appeared in ''[[EP066|The Evolution Solution]]''. Ash and {{ashfr}} asked for the help of [[Professor Westwood V]] to help figure out why Slowpoke only evolved into Slowbro when a {{DL|List of Pokémon temporarily owned by the Team Rocket trio|Shellder}} {{m|clamp}}ed on its tail (a question that was giving {{an|Professor Oak}} a headache). Westwood's Slowpoke evolved when a Shellder that [[Jessie]] caught clamped on to the Dopey Pokémon's tail.

Multiple Slowpoke appeared in ''[[EP142|A Shadow of a Drought]]''. It was revealed that [[Azalea Town]] considers Slowpoke sacred due to legends claiming that Slowpoke's {{m|yawn}}ing can summon rain.

In ''[[EP260|A Crowning Achievement]]'', a group of Slowpoke were trying to reach a [[King's Rock]] to evolve into Slowking in order to help find a better habitat for the group.

==Trivia==
[[File:Bandai Aerodactyl card.jpg|150px|thumb|[[Ken Sugimori]] artwork showing Slowpoke's striped underside]]
* In the [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|Pokémon Red and Blue beta]], Slowpoke was originally known as "Slowmo".
* The Japanese and international {{game3|Gold and Silver|Pokémon Silver|s}} have different sprites for Slowpoke, with the Japanese versions having a fatter and striped belly similar to that which Slowbro and Slowking sport. It is unknown why this was changed. However, its striped underside is still partially visible in all of its Gold and Crystal sprites. This striped belly does not appear to be a true error, as it has been seen in artwork by [[Ken Sugimori]], though it is from [[Generation I]].
* Like {{p|Mantyke}}, Slowpoke evolves when another Pokémon attaches to it; however, this was only seen in the anime. Proximity-based evolution such as requiring Mantyke and {{p|Remoraid}} to be in the same party were not introduced until [[Generation IV]]. Despite the fact that other Pokémon, such as {{p|Feebas}}, have been given additional evolution methods for evolving into the same Pokémon, Shellder still has no bearing on Slowpoke's evolution.
* Slowpoke is the only Pokémon whose multiple evolutions have different total [[EV yield]]s: {{p|Slowbro}} has an EV yield of 2, while {{p|Slowking}} has an EV yield of 3.
* Slowpoke is the only Pokémon whose National Pokédex number is the same as its weight in pounds when rounded.
* Despite numerous Pokédex entries stating its lack of response to a bite on its tail, in [[Pokémon Snap]] it is shown to quickly react to Shellder's bite. This may be due to Shellder's venom stimulating a quicker response, or simply an error or game mechanic to speed the process along.
* The Pokémon Company posted a Slowpoke-themed reggae music video onto their Japanese channel titled ''What's Going on, Yadon?''. The song was later dubbed and posted to the English-language channel under the title of ''[[Slowpoke Song]]''.
* Though the species has appeared repeatedly, no Slowpoke has ever been seen using an attack in the anime.
* Slowpoke has the lowest {{stat|Speed}} of all {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon.
*A Slowpoke Appered in a Cutsceen in the [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] Demo at the {{wp|Electronic Entertainment Expo 2018}}.
{{bulbanews|On the Origin of Species: Slowpoke, Slowbro and Slowking}}
Due to its marine nature, shape and association with {{wp|shellfish}}, Slowpoke may be based on various species of {{wp|otter}}. It may also be based on a {{wp|giant salamander}} or {{wp|hippopotamus}}.

Its ability to regenerate its own tail if cut off refers to {{wp|autotomy}}.

====Name origin====
Slowpoke is literally ''slowpoke'', a term for someone who is slow. It can be also a combination of ''slow'' and ''poke'' (an abbreviation of ''Pokémon'').

Yadon may be a combination of 宿借り ''yadokari'' ({{wp|hermit crab}}) and ''donkan'' (thickheaded or stolid), whereas 鈍 ''don'' means slow, dull, or stupid. Alternatively, it may also derive from 宿主 ''yadonushi'' ([parasitic] host), based on its relationship with {{p|Shellder}} in its evolutions.

== Meltan ==

XD is not a main core series game... XD is a side series game. New generation Pokémon are never introduced in a main CORE series games in the prior generation.

Meltan cannot be a gen 8 pokemon as it was introduced in gen 7 and is set to appear in a gen 7 game (lets go).

The generation a Pokemon is from is defined by the generation it first appears in.

How can a gen 8 pokemon appear in a gen 7 main series game? Victini never appeared in a gen 4 main series game.

Nevertheless, I'll leave the page as it is due to the lack of agreement among the community [[User:Kahchun|Kahchun]] ([[User talk:Kahchun|talk]]) 01:54, 4 October 2018 (UTC)

== Template:User Anime ==

I had to revert your edit there because it destroyed the template loop. Not entirely sure what that means, but it stopped the template from forming on everyone's pages. If you were trying to create a new template, you'd do best to start from scratch rather than try and put it on an existing page as each template page can only handle one template (unless you're a master of coding and can do some kind of "switch" thing). If you're confused I can find you an expert to talk to, but I hope I've made this clear. Sorry for any inconvenience! — [[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|THE TROM]] — 20:16, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

==Hi==
I noticed you have been editing the <code>User:</code> namespace a lot recently. You may not be aware of this, but Bulbapedia has a {{bp|Userspace policy}} that asks users to try and minimize the number of userspace edits they make in a short period of time. Heavy editing of these personal pages can put undue stress on the server, so please leave your page alone for now and go help out in the mainspace. Bulbapedia is an encyclopedia, after all, so please help us to complete it! If you edit the mainspace more often, you will be allowed to edit your userpage more often too. Thanks! --—'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 22:49, 31 October 2009 (UTC)

==Something to note==
If you are doing any of the wild Pokémon template redesigns relating to Generation II then you should know that the Kanto Grass does not show up in any of the Kanto locations if you use the (all=) coding if followed by the (k) coding. Just want to make sure if you are aware since it is a problem I ran into last night with both previewed and saved versions. -[[User:Tyler53841|Tyler53841]] 18:30, 22 August 2010 (UTC)

== -moz to roundy ==

Would you mind using the roundy template instead of using just -moz? There's an example [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Repel&curid=19357&diff=1319994&oldid=1319982&rcid=1411985 here] As you can see it takes off a chunk of code if you do this, and it shows up roundy in browsers that support it. —♥ [[User:Jello|Jello]][[User Talk:Jello|talk]] 17:37, 19 January 2011 (UTC)

== Usertag images ==

If you're going to change the images on usertags, it would be ideal if you also set up a parameter to make the image selectable by the person using the tag. There's a lot of stuff that needs doing in the mainspace, which makes usertags an extremely low priority. Unless the tag is broken & needs updating or if the tag has a large request for an update, I'd have to ask that you keep focused on the content areas of Bulbapedia.

::Okey. We will need to get some uploading still, as I can't see in-battle the Johto Poké Balls + Dream Ball, and Lure Ball as I said earlier - it changed color in Generation V, so likely both status and battle updated the color.

How did you get your custom PSS icon to show up on your userpage? I'm trying to get mine to show up as an image in a usertag I'm using, but it isn't working.

[[User:Torpoleon|Torpoleon]] ([[User talk:Torpoleon|talk]]) 21:02, 21 January 2014 (UTC)
:You're supposed to put the icon on an image hosting service like Tinypic or Imgur and post the image URL on your page. This means that it will not work with pre-existing usertags.

== Newbie question about images ==

Hi Chosen,

I am a new user and just registered my account. I have a question about using images on Bulbapedia and [http://archives.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Archives:Image_use_policy Archives:Image use policy] doesn't really answer my question. For articles about cards from the Pokemon TCG, should an image of an english card version be used if one is available? Is an english version preferred over a japanese version? Furthermore, is it okay to use an image from a third party site and upload it? For example, would it be okay to upload [http://www.collectorscache.com/StoreModules/ProductImages/347/moltresex031promo.jpg this image] in order to replace [[a:File:MoltresexNintendoPromo31.jpg]] in [[Moltres ex (Nintendo Promo 31)]]? (Can I even do this, technically, or does my account first need to be autoconfirmed or something similar?) Regards. [[User:Gengar321|Gengar321]] ([[User talk:Gengar321|talk]]) 08:11, 10 April 2014 (UTC)
:While I'm not as versed in TCG guidelines as some other members, I believe English cards should take precedence over Japanese ones. At the same time, I'd advise you take that link and contact one of the active admins found on the [[Bulbapedia:Project TCG|Project TCG page]]; we have been warned against taking certain other websites' content in the past, and TCG content is no different. If that image hasn't been uploaded to the archives already, there might be a reason. - [[User:Chosen|Chosen]] of [[User talk:Chosen|Mana]] 12:40, 10 April 2014 (UTC)
::Okay, I will follow your advice and contact one of those admins then. Thank you for your help and advice. Regards. [[User:Gengar321|Gengar321]] ([[User talk:Gengar321|talk]]) 20:34, 10 April 2014 (UTC)

== Availability template switch ==

So, with the switch from the old Availability template to the new one, are you using a set color for the Pal Park background? Because it seems the old template was using <code>locationcolor/med|land</code>, but I'm seeing different colors around the site with the new template (like a hardcoded #71AD64). Not entirely sure if I should be using a set color or not, or if it depends on the species. [[User:Schiffy|Schiffy (瀬藤健二)]] ([[User talk:Schiffy|Talk]] [[Special:Contributions/Schiffy|Contribs]]) 19:11, 4/25/2014 (UTC)
:The old availability template changed the Pal Park's slot's color depending on the area. I was trying to match that. For example, since {{p|Tentacool}} is found in the {{DL|List of Pokémon by Pal Park location|sea}}, I used <code>locationcolor/light|ocean</code> as the color. - [[User:Chosen|Chosen]] of [[User talk:Chosen|Mana]] 21:12, 25 April 2014 (UTC)

== Magma "team color change"? ==

I'm wondering where you got the idea that there's some sort of color change for Team Magma I'm not the sort to keep up with every bit of news, and from a quick look around, I don't see anything. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 21:46, 23 June 2014 (UTC)
:See the [[Team Magma]] page. [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Team_Magma&diff=1933275&oldid=1900328 For a while now], the information template has been using "ground color" as opposed to "fire color". - [[User:Chosen|Chosen]] of [[User talk:Chosen|Mana]] 00:18, 24 June 2014 (UTC)
::Okay. I was looking around the wiki some more later and figured that might be what you meant, whereas before I thought you were referring to ORAS, so I was rather lost. =P I guess neither color scheme is exactly official, but I do like it better with ground color.

== Curious ==

I saw your edits to the Clemont's Pokémon template and am wondering something. In the anime, it's been demonstrated that a trainer can only have six Pokémon. How can Clemont have ownership of all six of his and still have Dedenne for Bonnie? Does his Gym team join him after the Gym battle, forcing him to store one, or does Dedenne appear to be a special case? [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 15:43, 11 March 2015 (UTC)
:Technically, the only Pokémon in Clemont's party right now are Bunnelby, Dedenne, Chespin, and Luxray. However, since Clemont currently has access to his Gym Pokémon, they count as "Active" Pokémon in his roster. It's a case similar to Misty. - [[User:Chosen|Chosen]] of [[User talk:Chosen|Mana]] 16:37, 11 March 2015 (UTC)

:I don't see any problems, but the template should be a reflection of [[Ash Ketchum#Pokémon|the list of Pokémon]] on the main {{Ash}} page. I'll give you the chance to change the page, but you should include your reasoning in the Summary slot. - [[User:Chosen|Chosen]] of [[User talk:Chosen|Mana]] 17:00, 21 April 2015 (UTC)

== Route 14 in the anime ==

I prefer to stay away from the anime stuff because I'm not really familiar with it, but I was wondering if you could help me understand the recent edit you made to {{rt|14|Kalos}}. I've noticed these anime sections being expanded recently, and if I understand the purpose, the Pokemon section (under In the anime) for Route 14 is supposed to identify the Pokemon found there, correct?

But you changed Goomy to Goodra. And, as near as I can tell, Goodra aren't found there, that's just the home Ash's Goodra had when it was a Goomy. Is there a reason it really should be Goodra and not Goomy?

I'm also wondering if Ash's Goomy was the only Goomy in Route 14, or if there were others. It would seem to me that if Ash's Goomy ''wasn't'' the only Goomy we know that lived or lives there, then I think it shouldn't show/link to Ash's Goodra/Goomy specifically, it should show/link to generic Goomy. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 12:59, 30 April 2015 (UTC)
:Goomy was recently changed to Goodra because Ash released it to return to its homeland. There haven't been other Goomy shown living there, either. - [[User:Chosen|Chosen]] of [[User talk:Chosen|Mana]] 13:38, 30 April 2015 (UTC)

== "Fall 2015" ==

I happened to see [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=List_of_side_story_episodes&curid=97217&diff=2277776&oldid=2264148 this edit] in the history and took a look, experimenting in preview mode. When I tried "March 2015", it changed the date in the end column to say it was 62 days since the Japanese airing, which shows that the table problem comes from that column. It also means using a month and year calculates in the final column based on the first day of the month. "Fall", however, isn't a calendar month. This is why the last column indicated an unexpected parameter. The only way to solve that problem is to have each seasonal period be treated as a calculable value in the calculations (fall for instance could be September 21). Since I can't edit the template to add something like that - and don't know if it's even possible, anyway! - we can't use do that.

How that enlarged the image? I have an idea. I tested by modifying the line for SS32 to say Fall 2015. The image in that row expanded the same way. I suspect that what happens is any row formatting is disregarded if the row can't be properly completed, and any formatting that might shrink the image thus gets thrown out because the table row is not properly completed. I've forgotten a table ending tag before and ended up having nested tables; that was a bit of a mess...

I would suggest that with the final column acting that way that it would be best to put nothing but an actual date in the previous column. Not because of the image problems, but rather to prevent breaking the table. [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 06:19, 2 May 2015 (UTC)
:I agree. It appears to be an oversight within the template itself. Even if I could edit it, I don't know how any edits would affect any working uses of the template. It's best to air on the side of caution in this case. - [[User:Chosen|Chosen]] of [[User talk:Chosen|Mana]] 14:41, 2 May 2015 (UTC)

...you don't have the ability on this side to edit templates? I asked Glik if he could edit [[Template:Spritebox/3]] as the GIF images for Emerald all now have replacements at Archives, but he said he prefers Archive staff handle them. So I'm poking you. =) But being Archives staff, I realize, does not mean template editing abilities where images are involved, so might you be able to co-ordinate activities with him or another staffer for all of the new images in place for Emerald? See the upload log at Archives; I helped tag for deletion the GIFs from around 213 to the end. [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 04:18, 17 July 2015 (UTC)

== Changes to Templates ==

When working on a significant potential change to a template, it's highly advised that you create the updated template on a subpage in your userspace and thoroughly test the changes.

== Regarding changes in [[XY122]] ==

Hey Chosen, you are not new here.
Don't you know that whenever you edit you need to write the reason in summary box. Well, I am new here and starting to get sick of other users. My first article was totally removed saying poorly written and incomplete plot.I accept poorly written as a good reason but incomplete, why there are many articles having incomplete plot. Besides it could have been improved instead.I let it go. Afterwards I tried wrote complete plot of XY 122. But others keep on correcting according to their own views.When Ash was little confused somebody corrected he was determined. Now you changed it back to how it was. I wrote Pikachu's lower body became frozen it was corrected to be additional effect of move now you say it became numb, although I agree with you on this point, I was not able to find a proper word when I wrote. I appreciate your editing and making article more perfect, but you edited it too much and that's what I am mad about. Anyway I let it go but tell me to edit on my talk gotta fly instead of editing almost half of the article. And remember to write reasons for your edits always.

Thanks ahead.[[User:Nikuriku|Nikuriku]] ([[User talk:Nikuriku|talk]]) 07:28, 14 June 2017 (UTC)

:Hi Nikuriku. I'll answer your questions in order.
:*Tags come in the form of two different types of templates; ones such as [[a:Template:Sugimoriart|Sugimoriart]] or [[a:Template:Mv|Mv]] that summarize the image in the summary field, and ones such as [[a:Template:i-Fairuse-game|i-Fairuse-game]] and [[a:Template:I-Fairuse-screenshot-anime|I-Fairuse-screenshot-anime]] that provide copyright iformation of the image under the licensing field. If the image is missing a summary or licencing template, you can add them to the image summary by inserting <nowiki>{{(NAME OF TEMPLATE)}}</nowiki> along with the required information.
:*You can add categories to files by adding <nowiki>[[Category:(NAME OF CATEGORY]]</nowiki> anywhere in the summary. They are typically put at the end. Likewise, you can remove categories from an image by deleting that text. Creation of categories is generally left to admins.
For pages you can watch to easily add input to the Archives, I would go to both [[a:Special:SpecialPages|special pages]] and [[a:Special:NewFiles|the gallery of new files]]. If you have anymore questions, be sure to refer to the [[a:Archives:FAQ|Archives FAQ]]. You can find more information about tagging and categorizing there. - [[User:Chosen|Chosen]] of [[User talk:Chosen|Mana]] 17:19, 14 June 2017 (UTC)
::Hi, just leaving this message as thanks for helping me regarding the Archives pages. I've become autoconfirmed now all thanks to your help which is greatly appreciated.
::Also one more question is how to delete categories altogether as I have moved some images out of categories created as a result of spelling errors e.g. category "Repidash" and due to these types of categories often containing only one image, I feel it would be better to delete them altogether.
::However even when taken out of the category, it still is recognsied as being under category Repidash despite not being part of that category anymore.
::Another thing I would like to ask is how to rename file names as File:197Espeon Colo.png is actually a picture of an Umbreon.[[User:Nikuriku|Nikuriku]] ([[User talk:Nikuriku|talk]]) 10:49, 16 June 2017 (UTC)
:::I'm happy to help. The "Repidash" category should empty itself out with time, after the servers process the edits you made to the image. As for moving, in the Archives, only Junior Administrators or above can move images. You can add <nowiki>{{move|(TITLE)}}</nowiki> to an article to bring it to the category [[a:Category:Candidates for moving|Candidates for moving]], which admins check periodically. You can also contact an admin for assistance. - [[User:Chosen|Chosen]] of [[User talk:Chosen|Mana]] 00:57, 17 June 2017 (UTC)

== Memory and Plates ==

Are we doing new item page format for every items? After seeing your work on Drives, I'm tempted to help out too. So do you need to do for Memory and Plates too? Are they roughly the same as for Drives? Or leave it to the staff members?

Secondly, for items such as NeverMeltIce, do we delete the "display=..." or put it as "<nowiki>display=[[Never-Melt Ice|Nevermeltice]]</nowiki>"? (if that make sense?) Thanks. — '''[[User:Ruixiang95|Ruixiang]][[User talk:Ruixiang95|95]]''' 17:58, 29 July 2017 (UTC)

:Right now, we are focusing on normal and held items. Poké Balls are being put on hold until staff reach a decision on how to handle the present [[Poké Ball]] page.

:For items that have changed formatting in future generations, please use the "display" parameter as you proposed. - [[User:Chosen|Chosen]] of [[User talk:Chosen|Mana]] 02:03, 30 July 2017 (UTC)

I noticed you have been uploading a lot of images for Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon. When you get a chance can you log into Discord so I can talk to you about them (I don't want to clutter this)?

== SM/USUM models ==

May I ask that you change the text on various characters' model sections to "model from Generation VI" instead of "model from S, M, US, and UM"?

== Page splitting ==

I've been thinking about splitting a couple Alolan "sub-locations", so to say, into their own articles: the Kantonian Gym in [[Malie City]], and the Tide Song Hotel in [[Heahea City]].

== Template edit request ==

I must say that I admire really your work at creating new pages for items. Now, could you please make a small edit to {{template|Route infobox}} to turn the links to [[Bicycle]] into links to the [[Acro Bike]] and [[Mach Bike]] pages you just made?

== Ion Deluge ==

Hi Chosen! I've spotted you uploading a lot of screenshots from the gen VII games. Good work! You know, the only move in need of an updated picture is [[Ion Deluge (move)|Ion Deluge]].

==Hey==
I can understand that you are busy and such but was wondering if you could take a look at some of my possible mainspace articles and tell me if they're ready for mainspace or not, and what I can do to help get them mainspaced. https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/User:BigDocFan#Possible_Mainspace_Articles--[[User:BigDocFan|BigDocFan]] ([[User talk:BigDocFan|talk]]) 14:10, 23 August 2018 (UTC)

== Missing item pages ==

Earlier this year, you played a notable role in creating new, individual pages for each item. However, for whatever reason, the work was halted at some point, with some Key Items still lacking individual pages. Has there been any intention in creating these missing Key Item articles? --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 05:25, 21 September 2018 (UTC)
:As of this point, there is a page for every Key Item mentioned on the Generation-based Key Item Lists. Some key items, such as the [[Fishing|Rods]] and the [[Dome and Helix Fossils|Fossils]], share pages with their counterparts. Actions cannot be taken on these pages without considering how to change the related articles. - [[User:Chosen|Chosen]] of [[User talk:Chosen|Mana]] 14:08, 21 September 2018 (UTC)
::Actually, some Key Item pages '''are''' still missing. Trust me, I've checked. The Key Items that are still missing their individual pages are the Secret Key (Kanto), pre-Generation VII fishing rods, Egg Ticket, and the [[Orre]]-exclusive Key Items. Also, regarding the Fossil pages, there are plans to give each separate Fossil its own page, in case you were unaware of that. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 15:29, 21 September 2018 (UTC)
::So... shouldn't these pages be created as well? Not rushing you or anything. Just asking. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 13:47, 26 September 2018 (UTC)
:::For some of these items, a consensus would need to be reached. "Secret Key (Kanto)", for example, is a mismatch with [[Secret Key (Generation IV)]]. Moving pages is generally not done without the consensus of several staff members. The fossils, similarly, would likely involve liquidating the paired Fossil pages, which causes infrastructural concerns as we re-link every single instance of the items.
:::That said, I can probably make the case for the Fishing Rods, given how I handled the Bikes in a similar manner. The Orre Key items are rather self-contained and would require little work to revamp. - [[User:Chosen|Chosen]] of [[User talk:Chosen|Mana]] 14:22, 26 September 2018 (UTC)
::::Yeah, I could see the Secret Key page being moved to just "Secret Key" to make it fit both known Secret Keys. Regarding thr fossils, some link splitting has actually already been done in preparation for the split, and overall, the potentially remaining links that still need to be split shouldn't be too overabundant or hard to find. Thanks for agreeing with the fishing rods. And finally, for the Orre key items, I'm not quite sure if I understood what you meant, but I hope they can still be made into articles, for consistency's sake. Also, most of them seem simple enough, so can I make at least some of those articles if I feel like it and have time for it? --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 14:46, 26 September 2018 (UTC)

== Image protection ==

[[:File:Jessie Mimikyu.png]] was put under protection a couple years ago due to a disagreement in what version of the image to use.

{{indent}}Just to jump in... The "new" image may look nice if you look at it closely at full size, but when you compare it to the current image, it falls short in a couple of (perhaps small) ways. Mainly, it's how, in the current image, Mimikyu is standing straight and facing the "camera" squarely (and centered). In the "new" image, Mimikyu is off-center, facing partly sideways, and bent back so that the ears of its costume aren't shown off fully.

== Shouldn't [[R]]'s page be about the substance in Detective Pikachu? ==

There's a substance called R in the game Detective Pikachu, and it's a big part of the game's story. When I went to search its article, it redirects me to the Trainer Tower instead. I am definitely not able to write the article myself (I sucked at Language Arts), but I also don't want to leave the page as this redirect. What can I do?

== XY140 ending ==

Why is it considered an insert song? True, it starts during the episode, but the credits are shown when it is airing, so that makes it an ending song. The only problem why it is called a insert song would be because the usual ending sequence is not present and the episode continues, but in my opinion, this makes it similar to the ending song of the movies. Counterview? → [[User talk:PikaTepig999|PikaTepig999]] 06:57, 29 January 2017 (UTC)

== A very minor question ==

Hello Abcboy! Sorry to bug you for this is very unimportant question, but I noticed that you added the Korean name for [[Sinnoh Now]] in January last year. How did you find that the name was 신오지방 지금? And is this the name given from the DPPt games? I ask because the anime gives the name 지금은 신오지방. I know that other languages, like Spanish, have different names from the game and anime, but I didn't want to assume that 신오지방 지금 was the in-game name. --[[User:Wowy|'''Wowy''']][[User talk:Wowy|'''(토크)''']] 07:14, 10 February 2017 (UTC)

Hello! [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=40pmwyxdIa8 This] came up on the Pokémon Korea website, and it's also getting released as an [http://www.melon.com/album/detail.htm?albumId=10042587 special album]. From the website, there doesn't seem to be any confirmation of it being the anime opening song, but just wanted to ask if you had any more information about it. Also, there's a big question mark at the end of the video. Not sure if I've missed anything recently, but any idea what it is? --[[User:Wowy|'''Wowy''']][[User talk:Wowy|'''(토크)''']] 08:41, 5 March 2017 (UTC)
:The song doesn't match up with the [[Alola!!]] opening animation (and when songs like [[Victory]] and [[Pichumichu]] match up, it really should). Unless it gets a remix, I doubt it'll be used as an anime opening. No idea what the silhouette is.

I took a long break to try to get used to wikis like this, but now I feel maybe its best that I not edit on this wiki until I feel I am fully qualified for it. I sincerely hope I didn't cause any trouble, and if I did, I am very sorry for it. I didn't want to commit any blockable offenses, so maybe I should not bother editing here until I am fully ready to do so. In addition to my confession, I also have a video where I interviewed Veronica Taylor the original voice of Ash and asked her something about the banned seizure episode which I think could be important, but I'd rather not make any edits on that myself, instead, I'd like to have the admins ad the info for me if that's ok if I send a link to the video once I upload it.

Hi Abcboy! I noticed that you added the Korean names for Pokémon Red, Green and Blue. Just curious, where did you get these names from? Were these names used officially from some other source? Because these games were not released in Korea, not even as a virtual console (possibly due to gambling?). On a side note, Pokémon Silver and Gold are being released as virtual consoles in Korea despite having working slot machines in the original Korean version.

==Could you check something out?==
I've been noticing lately that the categories for the latest things are not properly showing up such as the two Pokemon Adventures mini-volumes pages I helped create or even on the archives the latest cover images not being shown as being linked to a Bulbapedia page or even a picture gallery in one of the Archives' category page. Could be some kind of server error, but I wanted to give you the heads up as this is still going on. -[[User:Tyler53841|Tyler53841]] ([[User talk:Tyler53841|talk]]) 23:35, 31 July 2017 (UTC)
:Hey! I checked with Abcboy on this subject as I've also noticed some other bugs. Having inquired about those in the recently with higher staff, I learned that they may have started with the transition to the https setting on our Web pages. A victim of this that comes to my mind is e-mail alerts; I have not been receiving these for over a month now, and my watchlist, upon checking today, has multiple pages that I should have been notified for daily. So my suspicion is that the category problems may be yet another victim of the https transition. It will be one of the things we look into if we didn't know already.

== Some random questions ==

Hi abcboy! I have a few random questions that have been bugging me for a while. These really aren't priority so feel free to answer them when you get the time!

1) Is there a way to search the text within a page with the search bar? For example, if I want to search how the '''<nowiki>{{m| }}</nowiki>''' template was used on different pages, I can't make that search using the search bar. It'll search for '''m''' instead.

2) Is there a reason why the Pokémon sprites have large white spaces around them? I presume this was because this was how they were extracted from the game data, and also makes all sprite boxes consistent with tall or wide Pokémon that can take up the whole box. However why can't we shrink the white space around them to make it more compact? (even the tall/wide sprites don't take up the whole space). It'll become a pain when a new generation comes in. I know there are templates floating around with the 'show'/'hide' option, but even these will benefit with smaller sprites.

3) If a page is wanted (they have red link), can an average user make the page without admin approval? (I'm talking about more obscure pages like 'Expedition Gadget' rather than a common 'new episode' page). If so, if I was to start the page on my userpage first (to polish it), will I need to get admin approval to mainspace it even though it was a wanted page?

Thanks!--[[User:Wowy|'''Wowy''']][[User talk:Wowy|'''(토크)''']] 11:01, 12 August 2017 (UTC)
:1) You can use "insource:" to search the wikitext. For example, [[Special:Search/insource:"Pokémon Infobox"]] or a regex like [[Special:Search/insource:/Image:/]]

:2) They are the dimensions they are for the same reasons as you said: to be consistent with the internal sizes.

:3) If the page you're creating is complete and clearly notable then feel free to create it in the mainspace. It'd be best if you notified an admin so the page can be moved w/o leaving a redirect. --[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 12:29, 12 August 2017 (UTC)

== Couple of small edit requests ==

Hey there! First of all, I have to express my appreciation that you're updating protected USUM pages so speedily. Thank you!

I just noticed a couple of little things that slipped through the cracks. On [[Ultra Beast]], you protected the page but didn't remove the protection request template. And on {{p|Necrozma}}, there's a typo in the paragraph about forms: it refers to "becoming ''its'' Dusk Mane Necrozma" and "becoming ''its'' Dawn Wings Necrozma", a relic of when the phrasing was "becoming its X form". Now that the forms don't have the word "form" after them, "its" shouldn't be necessary. Thanks in advance for addressing these!

== Updates to Template:Langlist(/h) ==

I'm not sure whether to ask here or the template talk itself. But anyway, is this update ready to utilize? For Chinese romanization, is it Hanyu Pinyin (Mandarin/Mainland China and Taiwan) or Yale (Cantonese/Hong Kong) first? And, is Brazilian Portuguese really needed, they are not available as languages in the games. This table is too long to be fully viewable in moblies, or are priorities given to desktop users?

Lastly, for the In other languages section for "List of ... form differences", is the sprites for the Pokémon necessary? (to make the table's width smaller) Thanks. — '''[[User:Ruixiang95|Ruixiang]][[User talk:Ruixiang95|95]]''' 20:09, 1 October 2017 (UTC)

(It) only makes us sadder
(We) suddenly remember there's a person who will listen,
No matter (if it's/whether it's) sadness or happiness they'll immediately be there

Everyone has friends
But (I only have/has only) one best friend [is the subject "everyone" or "I]
Always by my side whenever I need them
Don't mind (whether/if) the distance is near or far

== Turn of phrase: "the natives" ==

Dear Abcboy,

I recently had made changes to the biology section of the Raichu page, though these were reverted and my concerns dismissed as "thinking too negatively" and "politicising" an issue by both GrammarFreak01 and ForceFire. The change I made was in regards to the turn of phrase "the natives" being used, I adjusted it to "people" and later changed the entire sentence to make it more inclusive. I acted in what I believed were the best interests, that being to maintain neutral and appropriate terminology. The phrase "the natives" is deemed taboo in philosophy and other social sciences because it is enshrouded in the development discourse, the assumption that one demographic is of lesser value then another. Development discourse does not require intent, but ignoring the issue is a case of collaboration with those who do have intent. Admittedly, the article in question, and I have seen the term used in similar contexts in other articles, likely did not intend to offend anyone, though the turn of phrase may very well be harmful. It is important to note that the turn of phrase in question was not used in any supporting materials made to create the biology section, and was deliberately added by a user who may not have thought much of the word and required a new synonym. The term 'native' still has a place in describing a local area or an animal, though should not be used to describe a persons cultural heritage and background. I would like to see such terms abandoned as there are more appropriate terms that are inclusive, a key principle of the Bulbapedia site, such as local, resident and people. While no one would like to think the worst of humanity or themselves, but issues like this should not be ignored or dismissed as overcomplicating matters. For some individuals, such terms have a significant impact and reflect historic racial biases. Bulbapedia has a duty of care to ensure its content is inclusive and reflective of its status as a truly global platform. I have attempted to maintain a level head throughout this debate, but feel it has a larger weight than just the Raichu article. Hope to hear shortly. [[User:PardescanSlowbro|PardescanSlowbro]] ([[User talk:PardescanSlowbro|talk]]) 07:32, 1 July 2018 (UTC)

:Since you insist on doing this, {{U|PardescanSlowbro}}, I'll pitch in as well. I will just repeat what I told {{U|Force Fire}}, to paint a clearer picture:

:PardescanSlowbro is [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Raichu_%28Pok%C3%A9mon%29&type=revision&diff=2813914&oldid=2812285 concerned] about using the word "native" to describe the residents of [[Alola]] in the {{p|Raichu}} article, due to its connection to indigenous peoples who have been plagued with stereotypes and also its purported implicit nature as a development discourse, thus making it potentially offensive to some people. I did not see anything wrong with the word's usage, however, since it can alternatively be used as a synonym for "resident" or "citizen", as I [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3APardescanSlowbro&type=revision&diff=2813930&oldid=2813886 pointed out to him]. He's still concerned and has [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=User_talk:PardescanSlowbro&diff=next&oldid=2813930 pointed out] that official literature no longer uses the word, seemingly making it taboo, even though I have still heard it being used in the context I just described.

:{{U|Abcboy}}, do you think it is appropriate to use "native" in any shape or form here? I'm not aware of any other articles here that use the word. I do acknowledge the potential issue of indigenous peoples being offended, but I don't think anyone will be offended given the word's context in the Raichu article. What do you think?

I am suggesting that the following event pages be deleted, and the information if not already present be integrated into the equivalent location pages:

== Sun and Moon extra Japanese-only scene ==

Dear Abcboy,

I meant to ask this a while ago, but with the plot summaries for the Sun and Moon episodes are we supposed to include the scene after the PokéProblem segment in the plot summary (it is only shown in the Japanese version, though may resolve or add some information not included in the other versions of the episode), or should it be noted as a Japanese only inclusion somewhere else, like the dub edits section?

==PokéNews article issue==
Aside from the news about Pokémon Adventures being now released digitally from VIZ, an issue with the article is the one who posted it accidentally posted the HeartGold and SoulSilver first volume twice with the second picture over the one that is supposed to be the one for the Black and White first volume. -[[User:Tyler53841|Tyler53841]] ([[User talk:Tyler53841|talk]]) 14:09, 1 August 2018 (UTC)

== SA Page Edits ==

* Instead of completing season, Disney XD India has been restart airing S08 episodes over and over again from AG093 every time after reaching AG129. Is this notable for SA page? Because this never happened in the debut of any previously aired seasons on Hungama TV and this happened with S14 also when it aired back on CN and it has been added in SA page.
* Voot completed all the episodes of S06 and has also made first few episodes of S07 available. It seems like they are gonna keep streaming new seasons and episodes of Pokémon like forever so the line ''the Disney dubs of the anime are available on Voot'' would be better instead of ''the Disney dubs of the original series and part of the Advanced Generation series are available on Voot'' so it will avoid editing this stuff of thing over and over again.
Can you make these following edits on SA page? --[[User:Yash Sen|Yash]] [[User Talk:Yash Sen|Sen]] 15:59, 6 August 2018 (UTC)

:Will wait on them finishing S08 before writing up the final prose for that; as for Voot, our coverage should be as detailed as other VOD services, so I think the season/language breakdown is fine. --[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 23:41, 20 August 2018 (UTC)

==Pokemon Adventures Idea==
Just so you know the release date for the Digital releases of the PA Volumes can be found at both Viz's website and Amazon. In addition the eISBN-13 can also be found at Viz's website. While I do have an idea of adding this information for the Volume list I wanted to run this by you first and I will understand if you must respectfully decline this idea. Here is a link to Viz's page for volume 1 which you can look at the different information between the physical and digital releases if you wish to.

== Carrie's Korean name ==

You added the information that [[Carrie (game)|Carrie]]'s Korean name is 미카 ''Mika''. Where does this information come from? There is no Korean version of Pokémon Stadium 2 and the character doesn't appear in any outside-game official media, so how can she have a Korean name? Perhaps it's a misconception, based on Lass Carrie from [[Goldenrod Gym]], whose Korean (and Japanese) name happens to be ''Mika''? --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] ([[User talk:Maxim|talk]]) 21:03, 20 August 2018 (UTC)
:Hmm, that would explain it. What probably confused me was that "CINDY", "JENNIFER", and "LOURDES" also appear in the Trainer list in French/German/Spanish GS (in fact "JENNIFER" is also the German name of Lass Carrie), so I incorrectly presumed that Stadium 2 Carrie's name was in there as well. It might be good to re-check Stadium 2, unless you did that yourself when you added the names back in 2007 ([[Special:Diff/141119|1]], [[Special:Diff/141610|2]]). --[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 23:41, 20 August 2018 (UTC)
::Yeah, if I recall correctly, neither Western nor Japanese Pokémon Stadium 2 did read Korean GS cartridges. And yeah, it looks like the European names for her are based on that Lass, but we can't assume that it would also be the case in Korean (especially that in Japanese the two Carries have completely different names). --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] ([[User talk:Maxim|talk]]) 06:58, 21 August 2018 (UTC)

==Hi==
Was wondering if you could check if a few of my articles could be mainspaced, [[User:BigDocFan/Tupp's Salandit]], [[User:BigDocFan/Zipp's Garbodor]], [[User:BigDocFan/Lusamine's Clefable]], [[User:BigDocFan/Gladion's Umbreon]] and [[User:BigDocFan/Oranguru (anime)]]. If not really, could you suggest ways I can improve them for main-spacing.--[[User:BigDocFan|BigDocFan]] ([[User talk:BigDocFan|talk]]) 16:03, 23 August 2018 (UTC)
:For Salandit, since Tupp owns three Salandit, the article needs to be re-written to show that "a Salandit" or "one of his Salandit" did X. Both it and Zipp's Garbodor both don't seem to have done much and haven't displayed much personality though, so I don't think they're notable ATM.
:Clefable seems good.
:Gladion's Umbreon needs more on its personality and relationship with Gladion. You might be able to expand more on it as an Eevee, as well.
:Oranguru generally seems good, but you should proofread History and re-write the second paragraph there; it's a bit rough. I think you could also include its relationship with Abe in the Personality section. --[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 17:52, 25 August 2018 (UTC)

==VA Name Romanization==
Hi abcboy,

How are we romanizing んい　in voice actor's names, officially? I've seen various standards on VA pages: in the case of [[Kenichi Suzumura]] there's no apostrophe between n and i, whereas in the case of [[Shin'ichirō Miki]] the n and i are separated. In both cases the kanji reading in hiragana is definitely んい and not に, which would support apostrophe usage. The MoS indicates Hepburn should be used, and both traditional and modified Hepburn separate the nasal, vowels, and semivowels with a dash and apostrophe, respectively, to distinguish it from a glide or different mora; however this isn't directly indicated, unlike macron usage, in the MoS.

What say you?

[[User:RotaRaichu|RotaRaichu]] ([[User talk:RotaRaichu|talk]]) 05:15, 19 September 2018 (UTC)

:I titled the Kenichi Suzumura article that way because that was how [https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/people.php?id=5894 the Anime News Network article] wrote it, and previous VA articles have been renamed to remove apostrophes if profiles showed romanizations that didn't have it. I apologize if that was a mistake, though. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 05:24, 19 September 2018 (UTC)

::Page titles should reflect how the VA/their agency/etc. prefers it romanized; if unknown, it should use Hepburn with the apostrophe. There should still be redirects as appropriate, and the romanization of the kanji in the first line should still use Hepburn regardless of the VA's preference. --[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 05:26, 19 September 2018 (UTC)

:::I did create a redirect just in case. Also, it appears Suzumura's Arts Vision profile is no longer existent and there aren't any other accessible profiles of him, to my knowledge. Does that mean the article should be renamed? [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 05:31, 19 September 2018 (UTC)

::::His [http://intention-k.com/prof/prof.html INTENTION profile] has it without the apostrophe; it should be fine. --[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 05:55, 19 September 2018 (UTC)

== Picture Sizes ==

Hi Abcboy,

I've been in the midst of adding galleries to some of the Pokémon world's main cities and town and have struck an issue with consistency.

I am wondering what size are the image templates supposed to be, and have included examples to show the difference between the two versions:

In the gallery templates some pages' galleries are 170x while others are at 150x.

{| style="margin:auto; text-align:center; background: #519EE2; {{roundy}}; border: 3px solid #488AC7"
|- style="background:#7FBCD2"
! style="{{roundytl|5px}}" | Nuvema Town Harbor
|- style="background:#fff"
| [[File:Nuvema Town Harbor.png|x170px]]
|}

{| style="margin:auto; text-align:center; background: #519EE2; {{roundy}}; border: 3px solid #488AC7"
|- style="background:#7FBCD2"
! style="{{roundytl|5px}}" | Nuvema Town Harbor
|- style="background:#fff"
| [[File:Nuvema Town Harbor.png|x150px]]
|}

The main pictures for many of the anime-exclusive location pages also vary between 300px and 250px.

{{AnimeLocationInfobox
|name=Clawmark Hill
|characters=爪あとの丘
|japanese=Clawed Hill
|image=Clawmark Hill.png

==Gardevoir==
C'mon
I want some really good explanation. Did you even read what I wrote? [[User:ExLight|ExLight]] ([[User talk:ExLight|talk]]) 00:27, 2 October 2016 (UTC)
:Firstly, please do not come to my page rudely demanding answers. If you want to discuss something, you could at least ask politely. But regarding your Guenevere edits. What connects Gardevoir to Guenevere? The story of Lancelot and Guenevere, or indeed King Arthur's entire story, is a very detailed and varied legend. Saying Gardevoir is based on Guenevere simply because its Japanese name has 'knight' in it and some superficial sound similarities is a weak suggestion at best. There's a lot more to Guenevere than that, such as her queenly nature and forbidden romance with Lancelot. There's also other woman in Arthurian legend, Morgan, Morgause, Elaine, Nimue, to name a few. It also completely bypasses the fact the Gardevoir is not a 100% female species. They can be male. There really wasn't much added in edit besides that. [[User:Crystal Talian|Crystal]] [[User talk:Crystal Talian|Talian]] 02:33, 2 October 2016 (UTC)
::Sorry 'bout being rude, wasn't my intention. I just got really frustrated, didn't mean to be disrespectful.
::I do want to have a polite discussion about it.

::So; about Gardevoir and Guinevere. Firstly, I'd like to begin with Guinevere's Welsh original name and its meaning; Gwenhwyfar, " which seems to be cognate with the Irish name Findabair, can be translated as "The White Enchantress" or "The White Fay/Ghost", from Proto-Celtic *Uindo- "white, fair, holy" + *seibara "magical being" (...)". Just this small definition already explains part of Gardevoir's design and typing (Including the retconned Fairy-type). And yes, their names have phonetical similarities.
::Now, about the story, I'd like to remind us that we do have a Lancelot/Gallahad pokémon counterpart, this one being Gallade, reforcing the ideia that Gardevoir is related to this especific Arthurian Legend and characters. And since you talked about its gender, this one is really interesting; because in my edit, I did add "Gardevoir resembles a theatre {{wp|actor}}" because of it. As known, Gardevoir and its family are related to performatic art; in this case, Gardevoir is a principal dancer (reflecting Guinevere's importance as a main character in her story) and an actor; and yea, not actress. This is because during the Middle Ages actress on the stage weren't common; usually, the men would dress as a woman to interpret such roles.
::I'd also like to discuss about it being primarily treated as a ghost. Gadevoir may have a "ghostish" appearance, but to conclude it is a ghost seems kinda weird. It doesn't seem related to any specific kind of ghost, it doesn't have a ghost type, its description doesn't relate to ghosts, and it almost doesn't learn any ghost moves! And a ghost that would give up their life to protect their trainer? Doesn't make much sense to me. And why would it be trapped here?

::Anyway, that's it. Once again, sorry if I sounded rude. [[User:ExLight|ExLight]] ([[User talk:ExLight|talk]]) 03:58, 2 October 2016 (UTC)
:::To call Gallade a Lancelot/Gallahad counterpart to Gardevoir is kind of awkward. Lancelot, perhaps, but as Gallahad was Lancelot's illegetimate son by another woman, that's awkward. Also, the phoenetical similarities only exist in the English name, and that and the name meaning are really the only things lending any support to this theory. I strongly disagree with saying Gardevoir is based on Guenevere because of the lore surrounding both.

:::Gardevoir is a protector. It's entire story regards it foretelling the future and protecting its training. In counterpoint, it was the knights protecting Guinevere that brought about the fall of Arthur's kingdom. Also, while Guenevere's name may mean enchantress, she doesn't act as one in the stories. That 'honor' falls on other Arthurian woman. Every person in Arthurian legend has a group of stories just for them, and trying to narrow Gardevoir and Gallade down to specific characters is only going to create weak connections at best. It's better to simply say its based on a knight and leave it there.

:::As for the actor bit, it still disregards the fact that Gardevoir can be either gender. I'm well aware of how men would play women's roles in the middle ages. The problem is that its either saying its specifically based on a woman, or that its a man playing a women. It's a weak connection at best in my opinion.

:::For the ghost part, you're connecting to the type too much. Gardevoir is in the Amorphous egg group as well, suggesting a more spiritual body form. Furthermore, ghosts remain behind because they unfinished business - in this particular case the business would be protecting its Trainer. Not 'trapped' per se, but choosing to stay to guard those it loves. Now, stating ghost as its primarily origin may not be absolutely correct, but it has more connection there than to the legends surrounding Guenevere.

:::The only part that was added that I would agree with is saying that it may be based on a knight, as its Japanese name and lore are both in agreement with that. [[User:Crystal Talian|Crystal]] [[User talk:Crystal Talian|Talian]] 04:18, 2 October 2016 (UTC)

::::Hm, I guess that does make sense. So the Knight part is the only one addition we both seem to agree completely.
::::I won't keep pressing on this, but still, couldn't it be at least considered? I mean, something like "although unlikely, Gardevoir shares a few resemblances with Guinevere"? Or about the similar sonority in their names? It does seem like something worth to point out. Just a brief mention would be enough, could even to prevent some future discussions like this with other members.
:::: Anyways. Again, thanks for hearing me out. [[User:ExLight|ExLight]] ([[User talk:ExLight|talk]]) 05:19, 2 October 2016 (UTC)

== Starter abilities ==

Hi, I wasn't sure why my edits got reverted? I figured I should ask you before adding the trivia on Panpour and Simipour's pages too... It ''is'' factual that those elemental monkey Pokémon are the only evolution lines who can have abilities that are otherwise exclusive to starters, and I think that's significant. I was very careful with my wording - I even said "can", being mindful that the abilities are hidden ones for them - so I'm not really sure what I was doing wrong with that? [[User:Draceon|Draceon]] ([[User talk:Draceon|talk]]) 16:31, 4 October 2016 (UTC)
:True doesn't necessarily mean notable. Yes, they can have these Abilities, but is it significant? Not particularly. Their purpose is to be parallel to the starters, so it kind of makes sense they would have these Abilities. Also, the fact that they are hidden abilities makes it less notable. They can have them, but lots of Pokemon have exclusive Abilities as Hidden Abilities, like Drought or Drizzle. It's also pretty obvious looking at the pages for the Abilities, so there's no need to point it out. [[User:Crystal Talian|Crystal]] [[User talk:Crystal Talian|Talian]] 16:34, 4 October 2016 (UTC)

== Torra from torrefy ==

I thought I should point out that Torra might also come from Torrefy.

VERB

[WITH OBJECT]
technical
Roast, scorch, or dry (a substance such as an ore, a drug, or a fuel) with heat to drive off all moisture or impurities.
‘torrefying wood loses 30% of the mass but only 10% of the energy’
Origin
Early 17th century: from French torréfier, from Latin torrefacere dry by heat, from torrere parch, scorch.

another possible but less likely origin is Torr, which is a A unit of pressure equivalent to 1 mm of mercury in a barometer and equal to 133.32 pascals. I only bring that up since a lot of people are associating litten's line with mercury in some kind of alchemy theme. [[User:Yamitora1|Yamitora1]] ([[User talk:Yamitora1|talk]]) 16:57, 4 October 2016 (UTC)
:There's probably a lot of words really similar to 'Torrar' that mean something the same thing. To me, Torrar (which torra can be a form of) is the most direct and likely, so there's no need to list all of them. As for the mercury thing, it's probably better to avoid that until a less speculative connection to it is given. [[User:Crystal Talian|Crystal]] [[User talk:Crystal Talian|Talian]] 17:58, 4 October 2016 (UTC)
::Yes I understand that, but you are listing it as coming from spanish's torrar when the webster dictionary lists Torrefy as coming from latin torrefacere which further comes from the latin word torrēre. Latin is the language modern Romance languages such as spanish evolved from. So torrēre would be the grandfather of Torra, Torrefy, Torrify and all variants within our modern languages. However, since this is the english name we are talking about, it most likely was derived from the English equivalent, Torrefy. Plus from what I am seeing, Torrar is uncommon and is more of a Synonym to Asar/Asado and Tostar. I admit I don't know spanish very well, but most of the translations I get for roast or toast don't even come close to Torrar. I can't really see them using an obscure spanish word for the localization of the Pokémon's name. and Torrefy comes out as the same in english as it does in spanish from what I am finding. So it is more plausible it comes from Torrefy or its latin ancestor Torrēre, than it comes from Torrar. [[User:Yamitora1|Yamitora1]] ([[User talk:Yamitora1|talk]]) 19:09, 4 October 2016 (UTC)
:::I'm disinclined to torrefy for two reasons. One, it's a fairly obscure English word. So claiming that my word is obscure is a weak arguement. Two, it has a pharmacological connotation. Yes, it means to subject to high heat, but typically refer to doing so to create drugs. Not particularly related to Torracat at all. Connotation is just as important as meaning, so I don't see this as particularly like. If anything, I'd be more inclined to the Latin route or to the simple English word torch.

== Solgaleo ==
Uuh, hi. Could you, please, help me? I'm not sure what I should do in this situation.

So, I recently I added the following to Solgaleo's Origin:

* "Its appearance seems to be based on a {{wp|space_suit|space suit}}, particularly some of the {{wp|Apollo_program|Apollo program's}} suits. This might be a reference to {{wp|Apollo}}, the greek and roman god of Sun."

This has been accepted informally by many people, so I added it as a partial origin due to Solgaleo's design. Shortly after, it was removed by some other non-staff members so I went to their pages to talk about it, explain how so, so maybe we could get to an agreement. But I'm afraid they are ignoring me and I really don't want to start some edit war by re-adding it to the page again.

Here's the (most detailed) message I sent to one of them:

:"Sorry, but I strongly disagree. I'll explain my reasoning here.

:Here's two images to help us to compare:
:* http://bit.ly/2gYVlP6

:* http://bit.ly/2gemTvU

:We can see some obvious details in Solgaleo's design; like its paws resembling the suit's gloves and boots, the orange stripes and, of course, its face that is clearly a suit's visor, the most remarkable part in a space suit. It is also pure white, just like the suits, a pretty weird color choice to use on a Pokémon based on a Green alchemical lion. All of it while being a reference to one of the most famous Sun Gods.
:This is further reinforced by the fact both Solgaleo and Astronauts are space related."

I do think it is pretty reasonable but... is it really as farfetched as they think?

If so I'll stop pursuing it.
But I would love your opinion on this since you seemed to be one of the best Origin section researchers from the staff.

[[User:ExLight|ExLight]] ([[User talk:ExLight|talk]]) 11:02, 10 December 2016 (UTC)
:Rather than take it up with a particular user, I would bring it up on Solgaleo's talpage. You're more likely to get a response from more people, and have more opinions there. However, as for my personal opinion:
:It's something that I would be disinclined to include as an origin. Other than Solgaleo being white and having a muscular build, there's very little resemblance. As far as its face being a visor . . . Lunala has the same style, and it is clearly not based on a spacesuit. Additionally, a spacesuit's visor would cover Solgaleo's entire face, not just the upper half. Solgaleo also has less to do with space in general than with the sun specifically. That's not saying it has nothing to do with space, just that its core basis is the sun. As far as it being the Apollo spacesuits in particular, that's also a bit of stretch. It seems more coincidental than intentional. In short, I am in favor of the removal. [[User:Crystal Talian|Crystal]] [[User talk:Crystal Talian|Talian]] 15:04, 10 December 2016 (UTC)

::Oh, ok, I see. I'll use the Talkpages if I see myself in a situation like this again. But... aren't they kinda, dunno, neglected? I've got this feeling it'll probably go unnoticed by most people if brought there. Kinda sad tbh.

:: 'Bout Solgaleo, sure, then it is settled. Coincidence ain't my favorite word tbh; but I guess it's a possibility.

::Oh, btw, could I ask you something completely off-topic? It is about Mewtwo being inspired by Giygas, was it some kind of staff decision? [[User:ExLight|ExLight]] ([[User talk:ExLight|talk]]) 14:51, 11 December 2016 (UTC)
:::Just because something is not responded to on a talkpage, doesn't mean it isn't seen. Typically, things don't get responded to more because there are no strong opinions or support, rather than from 'neglect'.
:::Yes. The removal of Giygas from Mewtwo's origin section followed extensive staff discussion involving the topic. [[User:Crystal Talian|Crystal]] [[User talk:Crystal Talian|Talian]] 18:02, 11 December 2016 (UTC)

== Prime numbers ==

The fact that Sols, luns, and the UBs have prime numbers for their stats and learned levels I feel is notable, particularly because no others have this trait. {{unsigned|99apples}}
:Hi. Please remember to sign your talkpage comments with <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>. When a bunch of Pokemon share a trait, for example the boxart legends and the UBs share a trait, it's typically not notable. The only time shared traits is notable is for categories. This particularly trivia is mildly interesting, but not notable. [[User:Crystal Talian|Crystal]] [[User talk:Crystal Talian|Talian]] 09:31, 23 December 2016 (UTC)
::Excuse me, but I just happened to notice this. I feel like this is more a less a prime example of trivia I'd personally like to have/keep, it's like the second best trivia all across Bulbapedia: it's interesting, obviously intended, and easy to miss. I believe it's near Easter Egg level. (And I think the fact that it is shared between that set of Pokémon makes it ''more'' notable, not less.) I understand that I cannot really argue against the trivia policy that de facto is in place (and that you more or less quoted), but maybe we can all use some feelings, or touch, or common sense, whatever you wanna call it, in this case!? (FYI, I don't really know in which article(s) it'd ideally be located, but I'd like to point out that it is currently present at [[Ultra Beast]].)

== Jacob9594 and plagiarism ==

I've had to revert {{u|Jacob9594}} now a couple times for plagiarizing the official site in Biology sections, including [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Cosmog_(Pok%C3%A9mon)&diff=2544150&oldid=2544135 here] and [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Greninja_%28Pok%C3%A9mon%29&type=revision&diff=2570599&oldid=2570598 here].

== Citations template ==

Hey, I've been thinking of implementing something similar that is on the Zelda wiki, citations to add credibility to the encyclopedia.

After being on the Zelda wiki for a while now, I think this truly adds credibility to a wiki. Also, it was nice to get additional information concerning a subject. Let me know what you think. :)

== Solrock and Luntaone edits ==

There is no debating Solrock and Lunatone are counterparts - it is even mentioned so in their respective articles. Including this relationship in the header follows the pattern of Miltank & Tauros (in fact, this is exactly where I got the formatting and phrasing from), and Passimian & Oranguru. Zangoose and Seviper mention their relationship to each other in their headers, as do Minun and Plusle.

== How do I report cross wiki vandalism? ==

Hello and good day,

Since you are a high level admin, I wish to know how to report a suspected cross-wiki vandal originating from this site. I suspect a previously banned banned/disgruntled user of Bulbapedia is spreading disinformation/slander regarding a certain Pokémon's origin. What type of documentation/proof should I provide? The reason from my inquiry is the vandal is using the same type of diction/vocabulary to push an agenda out of spite. I witnessed this person vandalise two wiki/sites already but since I am not an authority on Wikis I ask you since Bulbapedia is considered an authority regarding Pokémon. I apologize for the inconvenience I may have caused you, but the intellectual dishonesty of this vandal should not continue unabated.

:Neither of these two are notable enough to need articles. Genesect's only major role was in its battle against Lack-Two, and it hasn't been seen since. Its other appearances were glorified cameos. And Croagunk hasn't done nearly enough to deserve an article. It appears a lot, but it's not treated as much more than an extension of its Trainer. If Genesect is added to Lack-Two's team, I'd consider it, but Croagunk has to actually do something other than be the frog that wears a hat to be of note.

:::The article looks nice and all, and I appreciate that Croagunk is a cross-canon character, although I don't think it really had a significant enough role in any of its stories to justify its own page (for now, anyway).

== Game Boy Color ==

Over on [[smw:Game Boy Color#BIOS colors|MarioWiki's Game Boy Color page]], I took screenshots of the color palletes used for non-color games. Would it be OK to [[a:Special:Upload|upload to Bulbapedia Archives]] and apply them to the [[Game Boy Color#Color palettes used for original Game Boy games|Bulbapedia's version]]? Or would its current state be sufficient? --[[User:Wildgoosespeeder|Wildgoosespeeder]] ([[User talk:Wildgoosespeeder|talk]]) 06:20, 17 December 2016 (UTC)

::I forgot about this. I can do it, but I am unsure how to proceed. Should the images be part of the table or be separate (like a gallery)? The only reason that MarioWiki is arranged as such is that nothing has been formalized overall and the article is lacking information. --[[User:Wildgoosespeeder|Wildgoosespeeder]] ([[User talk:Wildgoosespeeder|talk]]) 22:09, 26 December 2016 (UTC)

== Names. ==

Ugh, the Shogagukan Asia release of volume 52 is out, and Lack-Two and Whi-Two had their names changed. Great, now I have to change the pages and the links, which requires effort. Problem is, what do we name the articles? Back when the arc started, we didn't label them with (Adventures) like the other Dex holders because Rakustu/Lack-Two and Faitsu/Whi-Two aren't names (as far as I know), and thus the chances of other characters popping up with those names are near zero. But now their English names are Blake and Whitley, which are actual names. There are no pages with those names ('cept for [[Blake Hall]], but who remembers him?), but I wonder if we should just link them as Blake and Whitley or Blake (Adventures) and Whitley (Adventures). Also, since Shogakukan Asia is usually the same as the VIZ releases (as far as I know), that would mean it's safe to assume we won't have to change the pages again next month when it's released in the US, or should we play it safe? [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] ([[User talk:Ataro|talk]]) 00:28, 21 December 2016 (UTC)
:Do you happen to know if the copyright notice in the volume mentions VIZ Media? If it doesn't then it's a different translation. I have SA volume 43 which uses the same names but it's a different translation. Whereas in the R/S omnibus volumes it mentions in the copyright notice that it's the VIZ translation. So it's likely to be the same names regardless but if VIZ isn't mentioned in the copyright notice then I would wait since it's only a week or so until the VIZ volume comes in January and it would be super annoying to move all the pages then move it again just in case it's different. Either way if those are the names, or similar, I would name it as (Adventures).

== Inquiry ==

Hello. I left a message a while ago on Kogoro's page, but since it's been about ten days without a response I thought I would ask another editorial board member. The username I have on this site, Xolroc, is a name I stopped using for personal reasons some eight months ago, and I would like to have my username changed to Felthry.

== Is Autoconfirm on Bulbapedia separate from the archives? ==

According to my preferences page here on Bulbapedia I'm already autoconfirmed, but my preferences page on the archives says that I'm not. Because of that, it's not letting me upload images. Does this mean that I'd need to make contributions separately on the archives to get permission to upload images? If so, I'm also confused on how I would contribute there, as much of the archives' to-do list page says to upload images, which I can't do because I'm not autoconfirmed there. I feel like I'm misunderstanding something here, so any help would be much appreciated. --[[User:Boblers|Boblers]] ([[User talk:Boblers|talk]]) 01:23, 24 January 2017 (UTC)

== Turtonator's Origin ==

I've tried to edit Turtonator's page several times to make note of it's design similarities to a kappa Currently I've been shot down by two senior administrators, Crystal Talian and Force Fire. I agree that in all likelihood it is based on the mata mata, but cannot see the resemblance within it's design, and feel that it might have taken on elements of the kappa since the mata mata is "unattractive". I do not intend to outright say that it is based on the kappa, just note the resemblance. Do you agree and feel that you could give me the go ahead to make this small edit to the Pokemon's page, or after looking at Turtonator's discussion page feel that their argument is more than enough?[[User:GMario3826|GM_3826]] ([[User talk:GMario3826|talk]]) 21:49, 23 February 2017 (UTC)

== Can we have a discussion, please? ==

Alright, this has gone on far enough. I have kept my opinions to myself for the past few months, but I can't keep this bottled inside. Zesty, I honestly truly feel that some of the recent manga article approving have been a tad...irresponsible. A lot of these Pokemon do not need articles, especially not two of Cyrrus's Pokemon that don't play a major role. I feel that we need a rule system, maybe expand on the manga Pokemon notability requirements. Even if they're filled with text, it doesn't mean it played an important role in the story. I really, really, want to have a discussion with you and other staff members about how to deal with this. Possibly on the forums.

By creating your account you are now able to edit pages, join discussions, and expand the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia. Before you jump in, here are some ground rules:
* Be nice to everyone. It's in the {{bp|code of conduct}}.
* Make good edits. Preview them before you save to make sure they're perfect the first time around.
* Use {{bp|wikicode}} and {{bp|link templates}} when adding content to a page.
* Use proper grammar and spelling, and read the {{bp|manual of style}}.
* You can't create a userpage until you've added to the encyclopedia. It's a privilege. See the {{bp|userspace policy}}.
* Use {{bp|Talk page policy|talk pages}} to resolve editing disputes. Don't "edit war," or constantly re-edit/undo the same thing on a page.

I understand your reasoning, but I think it clear enough that the episodes discussed are unaired. Take this sentence, for example, "Team Plasma '''were initially''' set to debut...but the episodes '''were postponed indefinitely'''...". The rest of the "Behind the scenes" section also clearly and explicitly states that the episodes are unaired. In addition, clicking those links takes you to the articles for the unaired episodes. I don't think there's any confusion over whether it's talking about the aired or unaired episodes. [[User:Pokegen master|Pokegen master]] ([[User talk:Pokegen master|talk]]) 14:53, 1 March 2013 (UTC)

:Sorry, I wasn't trying to be rude, I hate being or coming off as rude, but it seemed kind of obvious to me.

:It's nothing personal, or anything, it is because the grammar and spelling you used was very bad and almost unreadable. I perfectly understand English may not be your native language (guess what, English isn't my native language either) but remember, this IS an English encyclopedia, so at least basic level skills of the English language are wanted here. Also, you wrote some Pokémon names wrong. Try to improve your English a bit and read this: the {{bp|Manual of Style}}, it contains useful information about writing things here at Bulbapedia.

== Charizard ==

Hey I didnt say anything about the fact that they cant. The section I was pointed to said nothing but that. I was pointing it out. But if the dub says so then it is confirmed. I get saying it once or twice in an episode could be a mistake but if the official website states it, then it is confirmed. The Pokemon company here works close with the one in Japan, So I doubt that they would just make stuff up. All of the signs point to him as a male, he even looks male, unlike Charla, So I would say that it is in fact confirmed [[User:Black60Dragon|'''Black''''''Dragon''']] 00:21, 9 June 2013 (UTC)
:I'm going to reply here, to keep it in one place. It seemed like you said they can't, as you didn't make it sound like a quote. But anyway, that's not important. If the characters in the dub say so, it is not confirmed, as the dub is just a derivation of the original Japanese series. The original Japanese series is ultimate canon, as the series is made in Japan. So, if they don't refer to Ash's Charizard as male in the original Japanese episodes (which they don't), but they do in the dub, then it's not canon. And where does the official website state it? Could you provide a source? Lastly, "he even looks male, unlike Charla" isn't confirmation, just an opinion. Someone else could see that differently. As it is a policy, written in big red letters on the talk page of the article, it is better to leave it alone. ☼ [[User:Blazingfist|Blazing]][[User talk:Blazingfist|Fist ☼]] 00:27, 9 June 2013 (UTC)
::There is the Purrloin incident when Meowth traveled with the group. [[User:Pattyman|Patty]][[User talk:Pattyman|Man]] 00:33, 9 June 2013 (UTC)~
::: ^ Which does indeed confirm that Pokémon of the same sex could fall in love which each other. For all we know Charizard ''is'' female. Now ''that'' would be a stunning revelation, if they decided to make that ultimate canon. But we don't know yet. ☼ [[User:Blazingfist|Blazing]][[User talk:Blazingfist|Fist ☼]] 00:39, 9 June 2013 (UTC)

Still even if Japan is the ultimate cannon version, the American Pokemon company is just as reliable. Yeah the looking part is an opinion, I was just saying that. I mean Charla is a girl and looks like it. I dont see Ash putting Bows in Charizards hair, just saying. But honestly if the Dub says it it should be confirmed, as like I said, They work close together now. Sometimes you have to just take the clues and what the dub says and put it together. Every sign says he is just read them. But if I remember correctly the Meowth moment, he thought that Purrloin was a girl right? Which doesnt say much as he took it back. If that is the right moment. [[User:Black60Dragon|'''Black''''''Dragon''']] 03:21, 9 June 2013 (UTC)
:There's a note next the "Unknown" stating that it is male in the dub (hover over the asterisk to see it). But that doesn't mean it is a male in the Japanese version.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 04:35, 9 June 2013 (UTC)
::Indeed, that note should be enough. It is referred to as male in the dub version, okay, but not in the original version. The Japanese language does not have gender pronouns. Which mean they can't refer to Charizard as male or female in the original version. Which means it could only be revealed by other means. Conclusion: we don't know if it is male or female in the original version right now, we do know it is male in the dub. The original version is the most important and should be noted first, and this is exactly how it is stated now in its infobox on its page. I don't see a problem. ☼ [[User:Blazingfist|Blazing]][[User talk:Blazingfist|Fist ☼]] 11:45, 9 June 2013 (UTC)

== Concerning the trivia in BW119 ==

It was the first time the first time the Genesect Army was shown in the anime, albeit only in a flashback, so I would think it would count as notable Trivia [[User:Weavilewarrior|Weavile Warrior]] ([[User talk:Weavilewarrior|talk]]) 23:47, 15 July 2013 (UTC)
:Yes, but the main point you made was Genesect individually appearing for the second time in the anime. 1: The first time was a silhoutte, which is not counted as an appearance, 2: Something is not trivia worthy when its the second time, in this case Genesect appearing for the second time.

:Which brings me to the trivia about the Genesect Army, I'm not sure about that actually. But I'd still keep it as unnotable, as the Genesect Army, with a link to the corresponding page, is already listed under "Debut" on the BW119 page, that should be enough. ☼ Blazing[[User talk:Blazingfist|Fist ☼]] 23:52, 15 July 2013 (UTC)

Also [http://www.locatetv.com/listings/cartoon-network#27-Jul-2013 this schedule] lists the title as just ''Farewell, Unova!'' (they misspell Unova as "Unvoa" though).

:I don't know about that, that should probably be removed too then. I always figured the "Seen on" section was for Pokémon that seem native on the island or owned by CotDs on the island. Anyway, if Gogoat and Helioptile are counted, should Pikachu, Axew and others not be included too to the "Seen on" section then.

== My Explanation ==

Hello, i'm PokeSerbia. I'm from the Serbia. I wanted that i'm not good at english lanaguage because i'm not native from the US/UK/Canada and i'm from serbia as my users suggest. I do wanted to improve my grammar, but i still had yet to do. I'm sorry for what i'm doing it for reason. I wanted to fix the plot but some of my bad grammar i'm you and others reverting because of my ignorance of Bulbapedia system.

For what i would, i wanted to add that the Panchau's species was originally Naughthy Pokemon but some users made share species and i wanted to add origin spescies was Naugthy Pokemon.

I'm very very very very very very sorry for my bad gramaar for i'm not native. {{unsigned|PokeSerbia}}

== Re: Uploading Pictures ==

In response to your message, as I explained before, I did in fact check the Archives for any answers I could find, but yet, none I found. Is there any other possible way to upload pictures? Whenever I do, it says:

"You do not have permission to create new pages."

Even though I actually do have permission to create pages, even though I don't want to create a page in this case in the first place, that's what I get whenever I want to add a picture :/ {{unsigned|MatrVincent}}
:It's probably because you're not Autoconfirmed. As it says in the Archives FAQ under "How do I upload?", you need to have made a certain amount of edits on already existing files. Getting to edit your userspace on Bulbapedia works the same way as you may have noticed you weren't able to create your own userpage right away. The exact number of edits to be made to become Autoconfirmed is actually a secret. As I'm not active on the Archives myself I suggest sending a message to an Archives admin asking what you can help with or what files you could edit.

I'm sorry, but if we went by everything that isn't called out directly we would be making a lot of assumptions and Bulbapedia wouldn't be a very trustworthy place. Maybe the higher staff will still decide to consider it confirmed as being Psyshock, but if not, we'll just have to wait to a future instance where the move is directly commanded by Serena, unfortunately. ☼ Blazing[[User talk:Blazingfist|Fist ☼]] 16:42, 27 March 2014 (UTC)

We're good for a merge. Just chatted with [[User:Force Fire]] over on his talk page about it and he confirms we're clear now to go ahead and merge it.

If I don't see you respond by morning (which is fine, maybe you're in bed too), I'll go ahead and put my ideas into practice and you can still contribute after the fact.

Hello, I saw you reverted my edit in [[XY030]] by putting the English name of the previous episode instead of the "XY029" epicode. As I explained in the edit summary, the English name shouldn't be put if its a Japan-only event (in this case, the one-hour special), but rather just the epicode. I'd like to know if there's there any reason to put the English title again, since you might have not been aware of that, or I could be as well wrong. --[[User:Gabo 2oo|Gabo 2oo]] ([[User talk:Gabo 2oo|talk]]) 20:08, 7 July 2014 (UTC)
:My apologies, I didn't check the history so I didn't even notice you had undone anything. Well, [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/List_of_anime_specials#Main_series all the other couple of episodes that aired right after each other] do have the dub title even if they aired only together in Japan. I automatically deduced this was the right thing to do for XY029 and XY030 as well. Personally it weirdens me if only the epicode is shown on a page that represents both the original version and the dub, unlike when it's on a page that's original version only like for a Japanese opening or ending. But perhaps you're right, since it ''does'' refer to something that applies to the original version only. Perhaps it's best to ask a higher-up admin about this as I'm not completely sure. In any case, if the latter applies then all the other dub titles on pages of episodes that didn't air together in the English dub should be removed as well. ☼ Blazing[[User talk:Blazingfist|Fist ☼]] 20:27, 7 July 2014 (UTC)

You'll become autoconfirmed once your account has been active for a while and once you've made a certain amount of edits (the exact number is a secret). That being said, Conway's Slowking is not deemed notable enough for its own article. It only had a couple of appearances and didn't show enough personality. In fact, other users have made pages for it before, but they were deleted by the Staff. Still, there are enough other things you can do on Bulbapedia. Check what [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Special:WantedPages Wanted Pages] there are for example. There are also articles that are too short, so-called [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Category:Stubs Stubs]. Then we have [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Category:Articles_needing_improvement articles needing improvement], and [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Category:Articles_needing_more_information articles needing more information] (in the latter, it's usually a short bit of information that's missing). Enjoy your time here and I wish you good luck finding things to edit on Bulbapedia. ☼ Blazing[[User talk:Blazingfist|Fist ☼]] 10:19, 1 August 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for the help blaze,and I think that [[p|Slowking]] has shown more personality than pokémon like [[Sakura's Espeon]] and you should really consider letting the article exist.Just for the sake of awesome. {{unsigned|Sladoled}}
:You're welcome. Check [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Bulbapedia:Anime_Pok%C3%A9mon_Notability_policy#Notability_requirements this] to see what requirements a Pokémon needs to get an own page. In the section I linked, especially check point 3. While Slowking may be considered Conway's signature Pokémon, it didn't have any major impact in the episodes it appeared in or in the series as a whole. Sakura's Espeon did, and this is why it does have a page and Conway's Slowking does not. Also, please remember to sign your comments. You do this by leaving four tildes like this: <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>. Finally, you linked to Slowking's page like this: <nowiki>[[p|Slowking]]</nowiki>. The correct way is <nowiki>{{p|Slowking}}</nowiki>. In the future, please use the latter when linking to Pokémon. Thanks. ☼ Blazing[[User talk:Blazingfist|Fist ☼]] 11:14, 1 August 2014 (UTC)

== Elite Four Members and Champions ==

Hey Blazingfist,

I'm not trying to be rude, but I've got a question. On the Elite Four page, it lists that Ash has met Lance. I edited it awhile back, adding that Ash has met Diantha. Lance is listed as a Champion on the aforementioned page, so why doesn't it count that Ash met Diantha in ''[[XY028|The Bonds of Evolution!]]''? {{unsigned|WATERWARRIOR67}}
:It's because that page lists Lance as Elite Four. I know it's a bit confusing, but back in Gen I Lance was of course still Elite Four. That page counts Lance as being part of the Gen I Elite Four too (even though he was referred to as a Champion in the episodes he appeared in). Also a reminder, please sign your comments. ☼ Blazing[[User talk:Blazingfist|Fist ☼]] 10:05, 5 August 2014 (UTC)

Okay, thanks for the clarification and reminder! [[User:WATERWARRIOR67|WATERWARRIOR67]] ([[User talk:WATERWARRIOR67|talk]]) 13:36, 5 August 2014 (UTC)WATERWARRIOR67

== Trivia ==

On the Rota page, I was guessing. I wasn't really awake when I typed it. I meant to type that it shares its name with the island of Rota, considering it's a real place. I don't know how I keep screwing the simple things up. [[User:WATERWARRIOR67|WATERWARRIOR67]] ([[User talk:WATERWARRIOR67|talk]]) 17:10, 9 August 2014 (UTC)WATERWARRIOR67
:I undid your edit there because I really doubt that's where they got the name Rota from. It sharing the name of a real-life island can also be a coincidence. If the real-life Rota were a medieval-themed town with a castle, yes then it would've been very likely to be the name origin. Since it's a tropical island instead, I really doubt it. Be aware that a lot of the trivia you've added over the past few weeks has been removed, for the simple reason these bits of trivia were not notable enough, or too unfounded. Before you add trivia, always ask yourself if it's notable enough or if the trivia is actually true or based on loose thoughts instead. If you're really not sure, you can always propose the trivia on the talk page of the page you want to add the trivia to, so others can decide if it is indeed notable enough. ☼ Blazing[[User talk:Blazingfist|Fist ☼]] 17:22, 9 August 2014 (UTC)

One, I wish that were the case with Rota; I'm really into history and cultural stuff like that. Two, what do you mean by too unfounded. And three, by "others", who do you mean? {{unsigned|WATERWARRIOR67}}
:With unfounded I mean that a lot of the trivia you've come up with so far has been very doubtful. Like characters being named after singers or bands, or a medieval town like Rota being named after a real-life tropical island. A lot of them seemed to be based on loose thoughts rather than factual information or likeliness. It's best to only add trivia if it's completely factual or at least very likely. Other trivia you added simply wasn't notable enough. That's why I said you could bring your trivia additions up on talk pages before you add them, just to be sure it's noteworthy, or plausible. With others I simply mean other users. And you've been told before, but please sign your comments. Thanks. ☼ Blazing[[User talk:Blazingfist|Fist ☼]] 23:57, 9 August 2014 (UTC)

[[User:Glik|glik]][[User talk:Glik|glak]] 20:38, 19 August 2014 (UTC)
:I had my doubts too, but the thing they did with changing Corsola into Quagsire is actually correct; Misty ''does'' have a Quagsire, and not a Corsola in her HGSS rematch team. I'm still not sure about the other info they added such as the moves and items, but I'll check if that is correct or not. ☼ Blazing[[User talk:Blazingfist|Fist ☼]] 20:48, 19 August 2014 (UTC)

== Dub titles ==

How come XY036's title was dub title was deleted it was from a legible source:

And no air dates were provided.{{unsigned|Pichu911}}
:Because Adyniz, who is a Bureaucrat here and watches over the dub title reveals, has said we have to consider these two unconfirmed for now. Bulbapedia is unfamiliar with this source. What if we add all those titles now and they don't turn out to be true? That would be a mess, and this has happened before (I speak out of experience). The official CN schedule with the titles for the month of September should come within 10 days, so let's just wait for that and then we'll see if they turn out to be true. And please sign your comments. ☼ Blazing[[User talk:Blazingfist|Fist ☼]] 09:52, 22 August 2014 (UTC)

== Clemontic Gear ==

Hello, you commented on the picture for the Motivation Machine that it would be better to wait until a confirmation of the names before uploading, so it wouldn't be necessary to move it later. I suggest that, instead of that, we could just name them "Clemontic Gear XYxxx" temporarily, but instead of moving it to a translation of its Japanese name, we could wait until the dub version to air and ''then'' move it to its English name. I believe this could save work and time, all while we could still list the Japanese names and translation on the article itself.

Also, is there any specific requirements for userspace articles to be moved to the main space? Because your page is pretty good and I'm worried if its moving stretches out too long. I mean, there are articles like [[User:HoennMaster/N's Hideout|N's Hideout]] that still haven't been moved to mainspace, even if by now, the information is not as required as it would have been back in the day when it first appeared. I wouldn't want that to happen to the Clemontic Gear page, specially since I haven't really seen any discussion about articles that should be moved to mainspace.

By the way, I have a doubt about [[a:File:OPJ17 2.png|the ''Mega Volt'' opening header picture]]. As you can see by its history, I had a little edit war with Ataro (yes, I'm sorry about that, it wasn't called for), since he said that due to the title of the opening, we should use a picture that has something "Mega" on it, instead of the screenshot I considered better. The thing is, leaving that aside, said "Mega" header picture isn't used anymore in the opening sequence, as it was replaced along with other scenes. Is it okay if the head picture for the opening is from a scene that isn't used on it? I ask because we could use that picture in our usual "Variant" section instead, and I asked Ataro about this on his talk page, but he didn't seem to answer me. --[[User:Gabo 2oo|Gabo 2oo]] ([[User talk:Gabo 2oo|talk]]) 23:42, 15 October 2014 (UTC)
:I think that might be a better idea indeed, as you're right having to move from Japanese to dub is also kinda unnecessary moving. Fine with me.

:I don't know the specific requirements for it to be moved to the mainspace. I think in most cases, or at least the most important ones, the Editorial Board has the final say. But sometimes it might also be any higher-up admins who make the decision. I'd also see it moved rather soon, I'll bring it up on the talk page.

:I'm not sure if I should participate in this discussion, also because I'm only a Junior Admin on Bulbapedia, not on the Archives, so I have little to say there. My advice is to still bring it up with Ataro, and if he doesn't respond maybe send him a reminder. And otherwise you should bring it up with Kogoro. ☼ Blazing[[User talk:Blazingfist|Fist ☼]] 10:07, 16 October 2014 (UTC)

==A Question on Creating Pages==
Hi, I'm new (It took me a while to find the edit button...) and I just have a quick question. How long after creating an account must you wait until you are allowed to create a page? I'm itching to create one that (surprisingly) doesn't even exist yet! Thanks, hjk321 14:22, 16 February 2015 (UTC)
:Hello hjk321. First off, welcome to Bulbapedia. If you have problems finding things out around here, I'd suggest having a look at the [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Bulbapedia:FAQ FAQ]. But asking another user is always a good idea too of course. To answer your question: you need to make a certain number of edits, and your account must have been registered for a certain while. For both requirements I don't know the exact numbers, as this is a secret known by only a few. I'd suggest just to start editing. The numbers to meet those requirements shouldn't be too high. Just edit away and eventually you'll become autoconfirmed, which means you'll be allowed to create pages, among other things. To give some ideas as to what you could edit, I'd suggest checking out the [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Bulbapedia:Editor%27s_Hub Editor's Hub]. Also check out the [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Bulbapedia:Manual_of_style Manual of Style]. The latter is a good guide on general editing. If you have an idea for a page, it's always a good idea to create it in your userspace first. If it is deemed complete and Bulbapedia-worthy, it can be mainspaced. But, to create your userspace you need to become autoconfirmed as well. If you have any further questions, don't hesitate to ask them to me, or any other staff member. I'd be happy to answer. Have a good time around here, and happy editing! ☼ Blazing[[User talk:Blazingfist|Fist ☼]] 17:04, 16 February 2015 (UTC)

I was informed by SnorlaxMonster before that we shouldn't be moving pages if a character's dubname is the same as a later character's Japanese name since the dub name of said later character may be different and moving them back would be a lot to handle. The move of Hoenn's Watt is an example as it was moved too early. I went ahead and added a move tag to Hoenn's Watt. [[User:Pattyman|Patty]][[User talk:Pattyman|Man]] 15:59, 14 March 2015 (UTC)

:::I was going to bring this up, but looks like you already know. It's not really a formal rule, it's just something I've suggested before and got other staff to support (including Kenji-girl).

:::::Oh, and also, there's not much point moving it back now. The idea is that moving it then necessitates moving it back later if the dub name differs (like it often does). Since you've already moved it, moving it back would defeat the point (esp. if the name ends up the same in English). --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 16:25, 14 March 2015 (UTC)
::::::Figures. Might the dub name change anyway, I'll gladly help undo the Hoenn Watt's links.

== Genders, standard procedure ==

I'm wondering about this standard procedure [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Kalos_Route_14&curid=184625&diff=2277105&oldid=2277101 you mentioned]. Is this a de facto or de "jure" (written somewhere, I mean) standard procedure? And is it specifically a standard for lists of Pokemon that appear in an area? (To my knowledge, this area listing of Pokemon is a new development, so it's a bit weird for me to think it has a "standard procedure".) [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 18:22, 30 April 2015 (UTC)
:It's an unwritten procedure as far as I know. With standard procedure I mean that it has always applied to pages of locations. Take [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Milos_Island this one] for example. Or [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Cremini_Town this one]. I have never questioned this way of doing things, as to me it's kind of logical. If there is a known gender, it should be added. And if the source for the gender is the fact that in the games the Pokémon can only have one gender, why should we deny that? Unless it's stated otherwise (which, to my knowledge, has never happened). ☼ Blazing[[User talk:Blazingfist|Fist ☼]] 18:32, 30 April 2015 (UTC)
::Oh. I've never really paid much attention to anime-exclusive locations, so I didn't know these lists were there. Looking at those, I realize it's actually not a big problem for me with something like Jynx, because I easily know Jynx are female, but Florges is one whose gender-lock I haven't likewise assimilated.
::For me, if some Pokemon are indeed only one gender, then it's not like if you don't use a gender sign it suddenly means they ''can'' be either gender; logically they would be the only gender they can. And comparing such anime lists to the game lists of Pokemon, [[Kalos Route 4#Pokémon|Flabebe's]] and [[Cerulean City#Generation I|Jynx's]] genders aren't qualified there.

== Town infobox needs to be updated to display "other generation maps" for ORAS ==

Hello! Currently "[[Template:Town infobox|Town infobox]]" doesn't display "other generation maps" if the original generation parameter is less than 3. I believe this is because of the code <pre>{{#ifexpr: {{{generation|1}}} < 3|</pre> in the infobox :) This means that Hoenn locations in ORAS do not display the "other generation maps" panel, which would be needed in order to show the previous version of the location as seen in RSE. I can't even try to fix it, because I don't have the rights to edit it. Can you take a look and see if just changing that 3 to 4 makes it work properly, or if there is some other solution? Thanks!

While this episode wasn't aired outside of Japan and I don't speak Japanese so I can't verify it, I think it's technically the first nicknamed Pokémon.

== Squirtle at Oak's Laboratory ==

Before the photo sequence, Rotom had gone missing from the corral. By the end of the episode it said itself that it went on a journey to fill the Kanto Pokédex, without specifying where exactly was it wandering around. The Squirtle Squad photo being specifically taken at Oak's lab is pure speculation. --[[User:Gabo 2oo|Gabo 2oo]] ([[User talk:Gabo 2oo|talk]]) 05:29, 22 September 2017 (UTC)
:I'd say that the photo being taken outside of Oak's lab is pure speculation. There was no indication it had left. Going on a journey to fill fhe Kanto Pokédex may have meant as well going on a journey through the Oak corral, as it has been established that the corral is pretty big and a lot of Pokémon species live there. So saying Rotom left the lab is more speculative than saying it was at the lab all the time. Unless you have direct evidence that Rotom left the lab (dialogue I may have missed or something else). Then please present this. Rotom going missing is no evidence as they had a lot to focus on and had to cut away to other characters. ☼ Blazing[[User talk:Blazingfist|Fist ☼]] 09:11, 22 September 2017 (UTC)
::Fair enough. I didn't consider a "journey" through the corral could actually make sense; I associated it with going out and exploring the region, even though doing so in just one day makes little sense. On the other hand, registering all the Kanto Pokémon (sans Mew) in Oak's corral also makes little sense, but yeah, there's no clear indication that Rotom had actually left the lab. --[[User:Gabo 2oo|Gabo 2oo]] ([[User talk:Gabo 2oo|talk]]) 19:46, 22 September 2017 (UTC)

==Lusamine's Pokémon==
Hi, I had a discussion with {{u|Pumpkinking0192}} on {{ut|Pumpkinking0192#Lusamine's Pokémon|his talk page}} about whether Lusamine's Herdier and Clefable have evolved from the Lillipup and Cleffa that appeared in her family photo, because this was never explicitly stated. However, up until now, we have always assumed that character's Pokémon have evolved if the character later reappeared with the Pokémon's evolved form (for example May's Venusaur, Paul's Aggron, Alain's Metagross, etc.). Since this situation is basically the same as those, I don't see why the Pokémon's evolution can't be assumed. Since you're a staff member, I thought I'd ask for your opinion on this. [[User:Satsjoe|Satsjoe]] ([[User talk:Satsjoe|talk]]) 15:08, 21 October 2017 (UTC)
:My apologies for the late reply, I have been kind of busy lately. I can see both sides of the story, really. It's true that until now, we have often assumed that a Pokémon owned by someone is the same as its pre-evolved form if they were both owned by that certain someone. However, I can also see Pumpkinking's side of the argument, as policies and ways of thinking have changed around here through the years. Perhaps it is time to review this way of thinking. Trainers in the anime can just as easily own both species seperately. Take Nando for example, who owns both a Kricketot and a Kricketune. It's just that Kricketune appeared first that we know he owns them both, but if it was the other way around we might have wrongfully assumed Kricketune had evolved from Kricketot. I do get where this way of thinking comes from, as it is curious in this case that both Cleffa and Lillipup appear in the picture when Lusamine owns a Clefable and a Herdier. But when it comes down to it, we're not 100% sure and are technically assumimg when we listed them as evolved from Cleffa and Lillipup. Therefore, long story short, I don't really have the answer right now. It may be a bit much to retroactively use this new way of thinking on every article where this is applicable (I'd truly hate to list May both owning a Bulbasaur and a Venusaur to be honest, even if that is technically assuming too), but there is certainly truth in this way of thinking. Perhaps it's best if this issue is discussed on a broader scale, as I'm not exactly in the position to make a decision on this. ☼ Blazing[[User talk:Blazingfist|Fist ☼]] 21:01, 22 October 2017 (UTC)

== Pokémon League Conference article pictures ==

Since you have been minorly involved in this I thought I would come to you about it. On the [[Pokémon League Conference]] article, the table shows images of the locations where the competitions take place. The pictures of the Indigo Plateau and Silver Conferences have been changed to just pictures of the main stadiums. I personally don't agree with this change because all of the other tournament pictures show all of the stadiums the competition takes place in. The old pictures of Indigo Plateau and Silver Town showed all of the stadiums for those conferences, but the new single stadium pictures don't. Thoughts? --[[User:HoennMaster|Hoenn]][[User talk:HoennMaster|Master]] 19:48, 8 November 2018 (UTC)
:Yes, I agree with you. The images should be representative of the tournament complex as a whole, not just one small part of it. If there's a good image of the entire complex, I don't see any reason why we should change it to an image of just one stadium. This is especially the case with the Silver Conference IMO. We use images for the entire complex for the Hoenn, Sinnoh and Unova leagues and not just the stadium that the finals are held in, why should that be different for the Silver Conference?
:Although I will say a case can be made for the Indigo Conference. The image that was used for it was from the Battle Frontier saga and also showed the Grand Festival venues, so it wasn't ideal. I'm not 100% sure, but I don't think the old Kanto league episodes ever showed a clear shot of the entire tournament complex. So I'm saying a case can be made there, but on the other hand I'm also not against using the Battle Frontier image. ☼ Blazing[[User talk:Blazingfist|Fist ☼]] 19:57, 8 November 2018 (UTC)
::I find your choice of words very interesting. First because you're saying the ''main'' stadium of the Silver Conference is "just one small part of it" when it's actually the place where most of the important battles took place and also the largest stadium by far. We don't even have images of the other stadiums and yet we're choosing to ignore the one image we have because other stadiums exist (!!!).
::Second because you seem to think that we have a good image of the entire complex when we don't. What we have is an image of Silver Town and we can hardly see the other stadiums there. The very user who uploaded that image, FinnishPokéFan92, prefers to use the image of the main stadium judging by their edit to the Pokémon League Conference page.
::Lastly, in your most recent edit summary in the Pokémon League Conference page, you said ''"Let's stay consistent: the Hoenn, Sinnoh and Unova leagues don't use final stadium images."'' which I'm assuming is a joke, because as I said [[User talk:Mikuri#League Stadium pictures|here]], that is the ''opposite'' of being consistent. We use images of stadiums rather than images of the hosting city. If you want to see the image of the hosting city, you click on the link below the stadium image and check its page. The League tournaments you mentioned don't use "final stadium images" because all of their stadiums are connected.
::Also, I'd like to add that you were the one who added that table listing the Grand Festival tournaments to the Grand Festival page, and you ''did not'' use the Indigo Plateau image, you chose to use the image of the main stadium, I wonder why it's different now. But that's that on that. Just wanted to point out all of these inconsistencies. They're happening fairly often as of lately. Can you believe that earlier today I added the incomplete tag to a page created by the current head of anime? A page that has almost no content aside from the langtable. In the past the staff would move these articles to the userspace, but now the staff is creating pages with two sentences directly in the mainspace. Thanks for reading. --[[User:Mikuri|'''Mi''']][[User talk: Mikuri|'''ku''']][[Special:Contributions/Mikuri|'''ri''']] 01:06, 9 November 2018 (UTC)
:::First off, please change your tone. I find your tone rather condescending, and I have often found it to be this way towards other people. It's not helping you in the least. You're not some high and mighty person whose opinions are superior.
:::Regarding your points: yes, and the central stadiums of the Hoenn, Sinnoh and Unova Leagues are also a small part of it, and yet we use the overview images. Yes, the other stadiums exist, and that's exactly why. They should be acknowledged. The League '''didn't''' take place in just one big stadium, it took place over multiple stadiums and the image reflects that.
:::There's where we disagree, I do. It '''is''' an image of the entire complex.
:::I disagree again, I think only doing the final stadium thing for two leagues and not three others is inconsistent. It's not a joke in the least, it's fairly rude of you to say so. I don't think your opinions are a joke, even though I disagree with them. I don't see what stadiums being connected has to do with anything. Either upload final stadium images of the Hoenn, Sinnoh and Unova league or don't. It's that simple.
:::Yes, I did at that time, but my first priority was getting that template done and that Grand Festival image just used to be the main page image at that time. I don't really know about any inconsistensies. Maybe it's just things not going the way you want them to go. I can't speak for abcboy, and it's fairly unbelievable that you choose to backstab him via some unrelated discussion on my talk page. If you have a problem with him, bring it up with him, not me. ☼ Blazing[[User talk:Blazingfist|Fist ☼]] 07:21, 9 November 2018 (UTC)
::::I am not the one acting as if my opinions are superior. There wasn't a single moment when I said ''"I '''personally''' don't agree with this"'' or a variation of that. Unlike HoennMaster who literally said that, word for word, I wasn't giving my own personal opinion, I was stating (and illustrating with examples) how things work (or used to work, I don't know anymore) around here.
::::Regarding my tone, well, if you look at the three most recent discussions on my talkpage, you will see that I can be very nice and polite. But different situations call for different tones, and I am sorry if this discussion hurt your feelings.
::::It doesn't surprise me in the least that you find the Silver Town image a good one considering all of the low quality images you uploaded to start [[User:Blazingfist/Anime competitions|this page]] (some of which now have newer, better versions uploaded by me). And just to clarify, I wasn't laughing at your opinions, but rather at your courage to argue that you're being consistent when you're not.
::::Also, I wasn't backstabbing abcboy. If I had sent you a private message, sure. But this page can (and I'm sure it has) be read by him. Stabbing someone in the back means the person isn't looking, and this discussion is available for anyone to see. What I was doing is painting a picture, one that shows the staff as people whose actions are not consistent with how they expect other users to behave and with Bulbapedia's overall style.
::::Please answer, was I lying when I said that starting an article the way abcboy started the [[Wind Festival]] one (if we can call that an article) would result in the user who started it receiving a warning on their talkpage, told to wait for more information, and having the page moved to their userspace? Is this not true?
::::You said that my attitude isn't helping me at all, but when [[User talk:Force Fire#Need your help|I did ask for help]], I didn't get any response. Apparently because FF seems to think that [[Special:Diff/2821305|this kind of edit]] is doing wonders for Bulbapedia. Or perhaps because he is too busy doing [[Special:Diff/2875741|things like this]]? Because these are two great examples of quality edits.
::::To further confirm what I'm saying about the staff being inconsistent, we have [[Weather trio|this page]] sitting at the pile of candidates for moving for over two years now because, [[Talk:Weather trio#Super-ancient Pokémon|according to Tiddlywinks]], we have to wait for Editorial Board approval when, in reality, EB member Ataro created the article [[super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)]]. Don't you find that curious?
::::The same Tiddlywinks [[User talk:Tiddlywinks#Battle Frontier articles|recently deleted]] the Battle Frontier articles even though the split had been approved by SnorlaxMonster. But I am sure that you're well aware of all of that because you said that you have found my tone to be condescending towards other people, so it can be presumed that you have seen these messages before.
::::It seems as if I have changed topics, but when I joined this discussion I wasn't planning to get the Silver Stadium image back into the Pokémon League Conference page. You had already made your decision without waiting for a proper discussion to take place and ignoring, as did HoennMaster, the existing discussion on my talkpage. I was trying to shine a light on these inconsistencies, which I have accomplished. I'm hoping that you understand that instead of accusing me of backstabbing others. Thank you. --[[User:Mikuri|'''Mi''']][[User talk: Mikuri|'''ku''']][[Special:Contributions/Mikuri|'''ri''']] 16:19, 11 November 2018 (UTC)
:::::This discussion didn't hurt my feelings in the least. But it's clear that you can be very dismissive of others and their opinions. Look no further than "I'm assuming is a joke" in your previous message. And you display this kind of attitude all over. I'm sure you can be nice as well, but that doesn't excuse your less favourable behaviour. I don't really care if you think my opinions or way of thinking are a joke, but it's no secret that a lot of people at Bulbapedia and Bulbagarden in general have autism, social anxiety, etc., and speaking so harshly to others can be hurtful to them. Take that as you wish. There's no problem with disagreeing with someone, but you can do so in a courteous, respectful way.
:::::Not sure why you're bashing the images over at '''my''' userspace page that currently doesn't have a Mainspace tag to it. Seems rather petty of you to complain over that, but alas.
:::::Alright, perhaps backstabbing was not the right word. But I still find it pretty weak to bring it up in an unrelated discussion on my talk page. You didn't bother to talk this over with abcboy on his talk page. I'm honestly not sure why you're rambling on about unrelated staff complaints in a message about some image. I'm just an Administrator so I'm not the one to solve broader staff complaints. If you feel something is wrong with Bulbapedia staff, talk it over with Kogoro.
:::::I honestly have nothing further to say to you or to add to this discussion. I've said what I've wanted to say on the matter as a whole and in response to your message. My opinion hasn't changed and I have much better things to do currently than argue in long posts over some image (letalone staff complaints), so I won't reply any further, just so you know. For staff complains I'll redirect you to Kogoro and for discussion regarding the image, just start a talk page discussion and ask what other users think. ☼ Blazing[[User talk:Blazingfist|Fist ☼]] 16:47, 11 November 2018 (UTC)
::::::So judging by the messages you left on this discussion you have seen me treating others in a condescending manner for quite a while now but it never once crossed your mind to leave me a message on my talk page telling me to be nicer or something? It's only when it affects you directly that you felt the need to speak out and play the role of advocate for autism and social anxiety? Nice try but I'm not buying it.
::::::I wasn't ''bashing'' your images. I was merely saying they're low quality, which is far from offering the harsh criticism the word "bashing" conveys. How easily offended can you be? Please select your words more carefully and don't attempt to paint me as someone I am not. First by saying I was backstabbing abcboy, then by implying I'm not considerate of others, and now this.
::::::And please give me some credit. How clueless do you think I am? The section directly above this one has Playerking95 demanding to be answered by you and only you. The reason for this? Everyone and their grandparents know that staff members keep an eye on each others' talk pages. Staffers have meddled into several discussions outside their talk pages before, but oftentimes they will conveniently ignore some discussions like this one. Why should I copy and paste this into the talk pages of each of the users I mentioned? To be left on read by Force Fire again? To be told by Tiddlywinks that there's no great rush in solving a problem he created?
::::::I doubt abcboy and the others haven't read this yet, but he hasn't replied because there's really no defending a two-sentence article. And whether or not you admit it, you know fully well I'm right, otherwise you would have answered the question I left in my previous message regarding this.
::::::Answering or ignoring this is your choice, and I have no interest in continuing this discussion either, but I'm not going to sit and watch as you act all holier-than-thou and paint me as a backstabber inconsiderate who is bashing you. --[[User:Mikuri|'''Mi''']][[User talk: Mikuri|'''ku''']][[Special:Contributions/Mikuri|'''ri''']] 22:49, 11 November 2018 (UTC)

I understand your reasoning, but I think it clear enough that the episodes discussed are unaired.

The rest of the "Behind the scenes" section also clearly and explicitly states that the episodes are unaired. In addition, clicking those links takes you to the articles for the unaired episodes.

== Charizard ==

Hey I didnt say anything about the fact that they cant. The section I was pointed to said nothing but that. I was pointing it out. But if the dub says so then it is confirmed. I get saying it once or twice in an episode could be a mistake but if the official website states it, then it is confirmed. The Pokemon company here works close with the one in Japan, So I doubt that they would just make stuff up. All of the signs point to him as a male, he even looks male, unlike Charla, So I would say that it is in fact confirmed [[User:Black60Dragon|'''Black''''''Dragon''']] 00:21, 9 June 2013 (UTC)
:I'm going to reply here, to keep it in one place. It seemed like you said they can't, as you didn't make it sound like a quote. But anyway, that's not important. If the characters in the dub say so, it is not confirmed, as the dub is just a derivation of the original Japanese series. The original Japanese series is ultimate canon, as the series is made in Japan. So, if they don't refer to Ash's Charizard as male in the original Japanese episodes (which they don't), but they do in the dub, then it's not canon. And where does the official website state it? Could you provide a source? Lastly, "he even looks male, unlike Charla" isn't confirmation, just an opinion. Someone else could see that differently. As it is a policy, written in big red letters on the talk page of the article, it is better to leave it alone. ☼ [[User:Blazingfist|Blazing]][[User talk:Blazingfist|Fist ☼]] 00:27, 9 June 2013 (UTC)

::: ^ Which does indeed confirm that Pokémon of the same sex could fall in love which each other. For all we know Charizard ''is'' female. Now ''that'' would be a stunning revelation, if they decided to make that ultimate canon. But we don't know yet. ☼ [[User:Blazingfist|Blazing]][[User talk:Blazingfist|Fist ☼]] 00:39, 9 June 2013 (UTC)

Still even if Japan is the ultimate cannon version, the American Pokemon company is just as reliable. Yeah the looking part is an opinion, I was just saying that. I mean Charla is a girl and looks like it. I dont see Ash putting Bows in Charizards hair, just saying. But honestly if the Dub says it it should be confirmed, as like I said, They work close together now. Sometimes you have to just take the clues and what the dub says and put it together. Every sign says he is just read them. But if I remember correctly the Meowth moment, he thought that Purrloin was a girl right? Which doesnt say much as he took it back. If that is the right moment. [[User:Black60Dragon|'''Black''''''Dragon''']] 03:21, 9 June 2013 (UTC)
:There's a note next the "Unknown" stating that it is male in the dub (hover over the asterisk to see it). But that doesn't mean it is a male in the Japanese version.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 04:35, 9 June 2013 (UTC)
::Indeed, that note should be enough. It is referred to as male in the dub version, okay, but not in the original version. The Japanese language does not have gender pronouns. Which mean they can't refer to Charizard as male or female in the original version. Which means it could only be revealed by other means. Conclusion: we don't know if it is male or female in the original version right now, we do know it is male in the dub. The original version is the most important and should be noted first, and this is exactly how it is stated now in its infobox on its page. I don't see a problem. ☼ [[User:Blazingfist|Blazing]][[User talk:Blazingfist|Fist ☼]] 11:45, 9 June 2013 (UTC)

== Concerning the trivia in BW119 ==

It was the first time the first time the Genesect Army was shown in the anime, albeit only in a flashback, so I would think it would count as notable Trivia [[User:Weavilewarrior|Weavile Warrior]] ([[User talk:Weavilewarrior|talk]]) 23:47, 15 July 2013 (UTC)
:Yes, but the main point you made was Genesect individually appearing for the second time in the anime. 1: The first time was a silhoutte, which is not counted as an appearance, 2: Something is not trivia worthy when its the second time, in this case Genesect appearing for the second time.

:Which brings me to the trivia about the Genesect Army, I'm not sure about that actually. But I'd still keep it as unnotable, as the Genesect Army, with a link to the corresponding page, is already listed under "Debut" on the BW119 page, that should be enough. ☼ Blazing[[User talk:Blazingfist|Fist ☼]] 23:52, 15 July 2013 (UTC)

== Harley's Cacturne ==

If Alexa's Helioptile and Gogoat don't count as Pokémon seen on Minori Island, what about Harley's Cacturne on Izabe Island since it made recurring appearances in other places? [[User:Pattyman|Patty]][[User talk:Pattyman|Man]] 16:12, 4 August 2013 (UTC)
:I don't know about that, that should probably be removed too then. I always figured the "Seen on" section was for Pokémon that seem native on the island or owned by CotDs on the island. Anyway, if Gogoat and Helioptile are counted, should Pikachu, Axew and others not be included too to the "Seen on" section then. Just doesn't make much sense if you ask me. ☼ Blazing[[User talk:Blazingfist|Fist ☼]] 16:38, 4 August 2013 (UTC)

== My Explanation ==

Hello, i'm PokeSerbia. I'm from the Serbia. I wanted that i'm not good at english lanaguage because i'm not native from the US/UK/Canada and i'm from serbia as my users suggest. I do wanted to improve my grammar, but i still had yet to do. I'm sorry for what i'm doing it for reason. I wanted to fix the plot but some of my bad grammar i'm you and others reverting because of my ignorance of Bulbapedia system.

For what i would, i wanted to add that the Panchau's species was originally Naughthy Pokemon but some users made share species and i wanted to add origin spescies was Naugthy Pokemon.

I'm very very very very very very sorry for my bad gramaar for i'm not native. {{unsigned|PokeSerbia}}

== Re: Uploading Pictures ==

In response to your message, as I explained before, I did in fact check the Archives for any answers I could find, but yet, none I found. Is there any other possible way to upload pictures? Whenever I do, it says:

"You do not have permission to create new pages."

Even though I actually do have permission to create pages, even though I don't want to create a page in this case in the first place, that's what I get whenever I want to add a picture :/ {{unsigned|MatrVincent}}
:It's probably because you're not Autoconfirmed. As it says in the Archives FAQ under "How do I upload?", you need to have made a certain amount of edits on already existing files. Getting to edit your userspace on Bulbapedia works the same way as you may have noticed you weren't able to create your own userpage right away. The exact number of edits to be made to become Autoconfirmed is actually a secret. As I'm not active on the Archives myself I suggest sending a message to an Archives admin asking what you can help with or what files you could edit.

Where is this discussion going on cuz I can't find it. And, really, what other move could it be besides "Psyshock"?

:The discussion is not taking place here on Bulbapedia. I've talked it over with G50 who is a Senior Administrator and we've both come to the conclusion that it's wise to leave it unconfirmed for now. I'm sorry, but if we went by everything that isn't called out directly we would be making a lot of assumptions and Bulbapedia wouldn't be a very trustworthy place. Maybe the higher staff will still decide to consider it confirmed as being Psyshock, but if not, we'll just have to wait to a future instance where the move is directly commanded by Serena, unfortunately. ☼ Blazing[[User talk:Blazingfist|Fist ☼]] 16:42, 27 March 2014 (UTC)

Refer to the Meyer/Blaziken Mask discussion above.

We're good for a merge. Just chatted with [[User:Force Fire]] over on his talk page about it and he confirms we're clear now to go ahead and merge it.

If I don't see you respond by morning (which is fine, maybe you're in bed too), I'll go ahead and put my ideas into practice and you can still contribute after the fact.

Hey Blazingfist, I just added the {{cat|Anime characters}} category into the {{template|moviecharacters}} template, so there will be no need to add said category to each individual page.

I placed the {{template|unknown name}} template of the [[Berry baker kids]] page because they weren't given real names such as Emily, Brad, Alan, and so on. To me, berry baker kids sounds like an occupation they're being referred to. [[User:Pattyman|Patty]][[User talk:Pattyman|Man]] 01:39, 30 June 2014 (UTC)
:To me it seems more like the name of their "baking group", rather than an occupation. Anyway, the dubbers decided to use this in place of "Toraya siblings", so it should be treated as the official name.

Hello, I saw you reverted my edit in [[XY030]] by putting the English name of the previous episode instead of the "XY029" epicode. As I explained in the edit summary, the English name shouldn't be put if its a Japan-only event (in this case, the one-hour special), but rather just the epicode. I'd like to know if there's there any reason to put the English title again, since you might have not been aware of that, or I could be as well wrong. --[[User:Gabo 2oo|Gabo 2oo]] ([[User talk:Gabo 2oo|talk]]) 20:08, 7 July 2014 (UTC)
:My apologies, I didn't check the history so I didn't even notice you had undone anything. Well, [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/List_of_anime_specials#Main_series all the other couple of episodes that aired right after each other] do have the dub title even if they aired only together in Japan. I automatically deduced this was the right thing to do for XY029 and XY030 as well. Personally it weirdens me if only the epicode is shown on a page that represents both the original version and the dub, unlike when it's on a page that's original version only like for a Japanese opening or ending. But perhaps you're right, since it ''does'' refer to something that applies to the original version only. Perhaps it's best to ask a higher-up admin about this as I'm not completely sure. In any case, if the latter applies then all the other dub titles on pages of episodes that didn't air together in the English dub should be removed as well. ☼ Blazing[[User talk:Blazingfist|Fist ☼]] 20:27, 7 July 2014 (UTC)

==How to make new pages==

Look,blaze.I'm Sladoled and literally the only reason I've joined bulbapedia is to make an article on Conway's Slowking.Could you clarify to me how to do it? {{unsigned|Sladoled}}
:You can only create pages once you're autoconfirmed. You'll become autoconfirmed once your account has been active for a while and once you've made a certain amount of edits (the exact number is a secret). That being said, Conway's Slowking is not deemed notable enough for its own article. It only had a couple of appearances and didn't show enough personality. In fact, other users have made pages for it before, but they were deleted by the Staff. Still, there are enough other things you can do on Bulbapedia. Check what [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Special:WantedPages Wanted Pages] there are for example. There are also articles that are too short, so-called [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Category:Stubs Stubs].

Thanks for the help blaze,and I think that [[p|Slowking]] has shown more personality than pokémon like [[Sakura's Espeon]] and you should really consider letting the article exist.Just for the sake of awesome. {{unsigned|Sladoled}}
:You're welcome. Check [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Bulbapedia:Anime_Pok%C3%A9mon_Notability_policy#Notability_requirements this] to see what requirements a Pokémon needs to get an own page. In the section I linked, especially check point 3. While Slowking may be considered Conway's signature Pokémon, it didn't have any major impact in the episodes it appeared in or in the series as a whole. Sakura's Espeon did, and this is why it does have a page and Conway's Slowking does not. Also, please remember to sign your comments. You do this by leaving four tildes like this: <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>. Finally, you linked to Slowking's page like this: <nowiki>[[p|Slowking]]</nowiki>.

== Elite Four Members and Champions ==

Hey Blazingfist,

I'm not trying to be rude, but I've got a question. On the Elite Four page, it lists that Ash has met Lance. I edited it awhile back, adding that Ash has met Diantha. Lance is listed as a Champion on the aforementioned page, so why doesn't it count that Ash met Diantha in ''[[XY028|The Bonds of Evolution!]]''? {{unsigned|WATERWARRIOR67}}
:It's because that page lists Lance as Elite Four. I know it's a bit confusing, but back in Gen I Lance was of course still Elite Four. That page counts Lance as being part of the Gen I Elite Four too (even though he was referred to as a Champion in the episodes he appeared in).

== Trivia ==

On the Rota page, I was guessing. I wasn't really awake when I typed it. I meant to type that it shares its name with the island of Rota, considering it's a real place. I don't know how I keep screwing the simple things up. [[User:WATERWARRIOR67|WATERWARRIOR67]] ([[User talk:WATERWARRIOR67|talk]]) 17:10, 9 August 2014 (UTC)WATERWARRIOR67
:I undid your edit there because I really doubt that's where they got the name Rota from. It sharing the name of a real-life island can also be a coincidence. If the real-life Rota were a medieval-themed town with a castle, yes then it would've been very likely to be the name origin. Since it's a tropical island instead, I really doubt it. Be aware that a lot of the trivia you've added over the past few weeks has been removed, for the simple reason these bits of trivia were not notable enough, or too unfounded. Before you add trivia, always ask yourself if it's notable enough or if the trivia is actually true or based on loose thoughts instead. If you're really not sure, you can always propose the trivia on the talk page of the page you want to add the trivia to, so others can decide if it is indeed notable enough. ☼ Blazing[[User talk:Blazingfist|Fist ☼]] 17:22, 9 August 2014 (UTC)

One, I wish that were the case with Rota; I'm really into history and cultural stuff like that. Two, what do you mean by too unfounded. And three, by "others", who do you mean? {{unsigned|WATERWARRIOR67}}
:With unfounded I mean that a lot of the trivia you've come up with so far has been very doubtful. Like characters being named after singers or bands, or a medieval town like Rota being named after a real-life tropical island. A lot of them seemed to be based on loose thoughts rather than factual information or likeliness. It's best to only add trivia if it's completely factual or at least very likely. Other trivia you added simply wasn't notable enough. That's why I said you could bring your trivia additions up on talk pages before you add them, just to be sure it's noteworthy, or plausible.

== Clemontic Gear ==

Hello, you commented on the picture for the Motivation Machine that it would be better to wait until a confirmation of the names before uploading, so it wouldn't be necessary to move it later. I suggest that, instead of that, we could just name them "Clemontic Gear XYxxx" temporarily, but instead of moving it to a translation of its Japanese name, we could wait until the dub version to air and ''then'' move it to its English name. I believe this could save work and time, all while we could still list the Japanese names and translation on the article itself.

Also, is there any specific requirements for userspace articles to be moved to the main space? Because your page is pretty good and I'm worried if its moving stretches out too long. I mean, there are articles like [[User:HoennMaster/N's Hideout|N's Hideout]] that still haven't been moved to mainspace, even if by now, the information is not as required as it would have been back in the day when it first appeared. I wouldn't want that to happen to the Clemontic Gear page, specially since I haven't really seen any discussion about articles that should be moved to mainspace.

By the way, I have a doubt about [[a:File:OPJ17 2.png|the ''Mega Volt'' opening header picture]]. As you can see by its history, I had a little edit war with Ataro (yes, I'm sorry about that, it wasn't called for), since he said that due to the title of the opening, we should use a picture that has something "Mega" on it, instead of the screenshot I considered better. The thing is, leaving that aside, said "Mega" header picture isn't used anymore in the opening sequence, as it was replaced along with other scenes. Is it okay if the head picture for the opening is from a scene that isn't used on it? I ask because we could use that picture in our usual "Variant" section instead, and I asked Ataro about this on his talk page, but he didn't seem to answer me. --[[User:Gabo 2oo|Gabo 2oo]] ([[User talk:Gabo 2oo|talk]]) 23:42, 15 October 2014 (UTC)
:I think that might be a better idea indeed, as you're right having to move from Japanese to dub is also kinda unnecessary moving. Fine with me.

:I don't know the specific requirements for it to be moved to the mainspace. I think in most cases, or at least the most important ones, the Editorial Board has the final say. But sometimes it might also be any higher-up admins who make the decision. I'd also see it moved rather soon, I'll bring it up on the talk page.

:I'm not sure if I should participate in this discussion, also because I'm only a Junior Admin on Bulbapedia, not on the Archives, so I have little to say there. My advice is to still bring it up with Ataro, and if he doesn't respond maybe send him a reminder. And otherwise you should bring it up with Kogoro. ☼ Blazing[[User talk:Blazingfist|Fist ☼]] 10:07, 16 October 2014 (UTC)

:Hello hjk321. First off, welcome to Bulbapedia. If you have problems finding things out around here, I'd suggest having a look at the [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Bulbapedia:FAQ FAQ]. But asking another user is always a good idea too of course. To answer your question: you need to make a certain number of edits, and your account must have been registered for a certain while. For both requirements I don't know the exact numbers, as this is a secret known by only a few. I'd suggest just to start editing. The numbers to meet those requirements shouldn't be too high. Just edit away and eventually you'll become autoconfirmed, which means you'll be allowed to create pages, among other things. To give some ideas as to what you could edit, I'd suggest checking out the [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Bulbapedia:Editor%27s_Hub Editor's Hub]. Also check out the [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Bulbapedia:Manual_of_style Manual of Style]. The latter is a good guide on general editing. If you have an idea for a page, it's always a good idea to create it in your userspace first. If it is deemed complete and Bulbapedia-worthy, it can be mainspaced. But, to create your userspace you need to become autoconfirmed as well. If you have any further questions, don't hesitate to ask them to me, or any other staff member. I'd be happy to answer. Have a good time around here, and happy editing! ☼ Blazing[[User talk:Blazingfist|Fist ☼]] 17:04, 16 February 2015 (UTC)

== Luxio's English dub VA Help ==

Do you know who voiced Clemont's Luxio in the English version? I thought it was Sarah but ForceFire said it's not. Could you help find out who it is? I'm didn't get any luck finding who it is. --JasonL 14:01, 7 March 2015 (UTC) [[User:JasonL|JasonL]] ([[User talk:JasonL|Talk]])

== Crunch typo ==

Your Salamence appears to have a typo with the move {{tt|Crunch|spelled as Crucnh}}. I would have done it but seeing that you are active on the 'pedia, I'm leaving it to you. [[User:Pattyman|Patty]][[User talk:Pattyman|Man]] 23:40, 11 March 2015 (UTC)
:Whoops, thanks! I did preview, but I must have overseen it. I'll fix it right away. ☼ Blazing[[User talk:Blazingfist|Fist ☼]] 23:57, 11 March 2015 (UTC)

== Watt's move ==

I was informed by SnorlaxMonster before that we shouldn't be moving pages if a character's dubname is the same as a later character's Japanese name since the dub name of said later character may be different and moving them back would be a lot to handle. The move of Hoenn's Watt is an example as it was moved too early. I went ahead and added a move tag to Hoenn's Watt. [[User:Pattyman|Patty]][[User talk:Pattyman|Man]] 15:59, 14 March 2015 (UTC)
:Oh, I was never aware of that rule. Then it should be moved back I guess. ☼ Blazing[[User talk:Blazingfist|Fist ☼]] 16:01, 14 March 2015 (UTC)
::Indeed, I too wasn't aware about it at first. These things happen, nothing personal. :) [[User:Pattyman|Patty]][[User talk:Pattyman|Man]] 16:10, 14 March 2015 (UTC)
:::I was going to bring this up, but looks like you already know. It's not really a formal rule, it's just something I've suggested before and got other staff to support (including Kenji-girl). It's probably a good idea to get to this written down properly somewhere (like [[Bulbapedia:Manual of style/Anime]]). --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 16:20, 14 March 2015 (UTC)
::::Thanks, I'll certainly keep it in mind for the future. Bringing it up in the MoS would be a good idea if you ask me, as while it is rather logical when you think about it, I think this is something other users might also easily overlook. ☼ Blazing[[User talk:Blazingfist|Fist ☼]] 16:23, 14 March 2015 (UTC)
:::::Oh, and also, there's not much point moving it back now. The idea is that moving it then necessitates moving it back later if the dub name differs (like it often does). Since you've already moved it, moving it back would defeat the point (esp. if the name ends up the same in English). --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 16:25, 14 March 2015 (UTC)
::::::Figures. Might the dub name change anyway, I'll gladly help undo the Hoenn Watt's links. Luckily enough Watt was the only one called by name directly in the episode, so we won't have to wait a long time to obtain the dub name through some other source. ☼ Blazing[[User talk:Blazingfist|Fist ☼]] 16:29, 14 March 2015 (UTC)

== Genders, standard procedure ==

I'm wondering about this standard procedure [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Kalos_Route_14&curid=184625&diff=2277105&oldid=2277101 you mentioned]. Is this a de facto or de "jure" (written somewhere, I mean) standard procedure? And is it specifically a standard for lists of Pokemon that appear in an area? (To my knowledge, this area listing of Pokemon is a new development, so it's a bit weird for me to think it has a "standard procedure".) [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 18:22, 30 April 2015 (UTC)
:It's an unwritten procedure as far as I know. With standard procedure I mean that it has always applied to pages of locations. Take [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Milos_Island this one] for example. Or [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Cremini_Town this one]. I have never questioned this way of doing things, as to me it's kind of logical. If there is a known gender, it should be added. And if the source for the gender is the fact that in the games the Pokémon can only have one gender, why should we deny that? Unless it's stated otherwise (which, to my knowledge, has never happened). ☼ Blazing[[User talk:Blazingfist|Fist ☼]] 18:32, 30 April 2015 (UTC)
::Oh. I've never really paid much attention to anime-exclusive locations, so I didn't know these lists were there. Looking at those, I realize it's actually not a big problem for me with something like Jynx, because I easily know Jynx are female, but Florges is one whose gender-lock I haven't likewise assimilated.
::For me, if some Pokemon are indeed only one gender, then it's not like if you don't use a gender sign it suddenly means they ''can'' be either gender; logically they would be the only gender they can. And comparing such anime lists to the game lists of Pokemon, [[Kalos Route 4#Pokémon|Flabebe's]] and [[Cerulean City#Generation I|Jynx's]] genders aren't qualified there. And like I mentioned in my original edit summary, it can seem misleading. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 19:07, 30 April 2015 (UTC)

== Uploading pictures ==

Hi, I would like to upload pictures especially for [[Team Rocket's mechas]] and [[Boss fantasy]] pages. Could you please tell me from which site do you upload your pictures (to have the best quality and not the channel's logo) ? Thank you in advance--[[User:LeoKetchumB|LeoKetchumB]] ([[User talk:LeoKetchumB|talk]]) 19:11, 8 May 2015 (UTC)
:All images on Bulbapedia are uploaded via the [http://archives.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Main_Page Archives]. You can log in with your Bulbapedia account.

:::I mostly take the images I upload from [http://filb.de Filb.de]. This site has a friendly relationship with Bulbagarden and it is allowed to take images from their site. And sometimes I take images from YouTube videos by using printscreen. Do keep in mind though that these will usually be blurry and of below average quality. Good luck. ☼ Blazing[[User talk:Blazingfist|Fist ☼]] 19:35, 8 May 2015 (UTC)
::::Do you know the reason why it says "You do not have permission to create new pages." when I try to upload a file ? Being autoconfirmed on Bulbapedia doesn't mean autoconfirmed on Bulbagarden archives ? {{unsigned|LeoKetchumB}}
:::::That is correct. You have to get autoconfirmed on the Archives as well. Since you can't upload images yet, you'll have to find summaries of images you can edit or improve, it's pretty much the only way. ☼ Blazing[[User talk:Blazingfist|Fist ☼]] 14:41, 10 May 2015 (UTC)
::::::What are the requirements to being autoconfirmed on Archives : just wait a certain time ? (cause there is nothing to edit on the Archives). {{unsigned|LeoKetchumB}}
:::::::As far as I know, the requirements to be autoconfirmed on the Archives are exactly the same as on Bulbapedia. The exact number of edits you'll have to make is just a secret. "There is nothing to edit on the Archives" is not true, in my previous message I already told you you can edit summaries of images that are in need of improvement or something else. It's just harder to find something to edit on the Archives than it is on Bulbapedia, that's all.

:Even if there's a title, it's better to wait till someone has created a page on it before adding a link to it. Bulbapedia has a couple of translators and one of them will have to properly translate the title first (automated internet translators are usually very wrong) before there will be a page on it. ☼ Blazing[[User talk:Blazingfist|Fist ☼]] 18:57, 19 May 2015 (UTC)

Is there no specific style as to how the other language info has to be written?

It looks completely random and really not very good. I'm not saying that we should go ahead and make scores of edits to just add some full-stops, but there has to be some rule regarding this so that they can be gradually changed over time. -''[[User:Sher-e-Bengal|Sher]]-e-[[User_talk:Sher-e-Bengal|Bengal]]''- 16:55, 20 June 2015 (UTC)

== Town infobox needs to be updated to display "other generation maps" for ORAS ==

Hello! Currently "[[Template:Town infobox|Town infobox]]" doesn't display "other generation maps" if the original generation parameter is less than 3. I believe this is because of the code <pre>{{#ifexpr: {{{generation|1}}} < 3|</pre> in the infobox :) This means that Hoenn locations in ORAS do not display the "other generation maps" panel, which would be needed in order to show the previous version of the location as seen in RSE. I can't even try to fix it, because I don't have the rights to edit it. Can you take a look and see if just changing that 3 to 4 makes it work properly, or if there is some other solution? Thanks!

I recently came across [[User:Blazingfist/Anime Pokémon with nicknames]], which was very helpful, but I think that it's missing a Pokémon. In [[EP038]], "Electric Soldier Porygon", Team Rocket temporarily use a Porygon referred to as "[[List of Pokémon temporarily owned by the Team Rocket trio#Porygon Zero|Porygon Zero]]". While this episode wasn't aired outside of Japan and I don't speak Japanese so I can't verify it, I think it's technically the first nicknamed Pokémon. Unfortunately, I don't have edit rights to the user namespace so I can't add it myself, but I thought I'd let you know. -[[User:Thunderforge|Thunderforge]] ([[User talk:Thunderforge|talk]]) 03:26, 3 July 2017 (UTC)

== Squirtle at Oak's Laboratory ==

Before the photo sequence, Rotom had gone missing from the corral. By the end of the episode it said itself that it went on a journey to fill the Kanto Pokédex, without specifying where exactly was it wandering around. The Squirtle Squad photo being specifically taken at Oak's lab is pure speculation. --[[User:Gabo 2oo|Gabo 2oo]] ([[User talk:Gabo 2oo|talk]]) 05:29, 22 September 2017 (UTC)
:I'd say that the photo being taken outside of Oak's lab is pure speculation. There was no indication it had left. Going on a journey to fill fhe Kanto Pokédex may have meant as well going on a journey through the Oak corral, as it has been established that the corral is pretty big and a lot of Pokémon species live there. So saying Rotom left the lab is more speculative than saying it was at the lab all the time. Unless you have direct evidence that Rotom left the lab (dialogue I may have missed or something else). Then please present this. Rotom going missing is no evidence as they had a lot to focus on and had to cut away to other characters. ☼ Blazing[[User talk:Blazingfist|Fist ☼]] 09:11, 22 September 2017 (UTC)
::Fair enough. I didn't consider a "journey" through the corral could actually make sense; I associated it with going out and exploring the region, even though doing so in just one day makes little sense. On the other hand, registering all the Kanto Pokémon (sans Mew) in Oak's corral also makes little sense, but yeah, there's no clear indication that Rotom had actually left the lab. --[[User:Gabo 2oo|Gabo 2oo]] ([[User talk:Gabo 2oo|talk]]) 19:46, 22 September 2017 (UTC)
:::I can definitely see what you mean, and Squirtle not being at Oak's lab would make a lot more sense, but since we can't say for sure and the episode took place at Oak's lab, we have to avoid that assumption. ☼ Blazing[[User talk:Blazingfist|Fist ☼]] 19:59, 22 September 2017 (UTC)

Hi, I had a discussion with {{u|Pumpkinking0192}} on {{ut|Pumpkinking0192#Lusamine's Pokémon|his talk page}} about whether Lusamine's Herdier and Clefable have evolved from the Lillipup and Cleffa that appeared in her family photo, because this was never explicitly stated. However, up until now, we have always assumed that character's Pokémon have evolved if the character later reappeared with the Pokémon's evolved form (for example May's Venusaur, Paul's Aggron, Alain's Metagross, etc.). Since this situation is basically the same as those, I don't see why the Pokémon's evolution can't be assumed. Since you're a staff member, I thought I'd ask for your opinion on this. [[User:Satsjoe|Satsjoe]] ([[User talk:Satsjoe|talk]]) 15:08, 21 October 2017 (UTC)
:My apologies for the late reply, I have been kind of busy lately. I can see both sides of the story, really. It's true that until now, we have often assumed that a Pokémon owned by someone is the same as its pre-evolved form if they were both owned by that certain someone. However, I can also see Pumpkinking's side of the argument, as policies and ways of thinking have changed around here through the years. Perhaps it is time to review this way of thinking. Trainers in the anime can just as easily own both species seperately. Take Nando for example, who owns both a Kricketot and a Kricketune. It's just that Kricketune appeared first that we know he owns them both, but if it was the other way around we might have wrongfully assumed Kricketune had evolved from Kricketot. I do get where this way of thinking comes from, as it is curious in this case that both Cleffa and Lillipup appear in the picture when Lusamine owns a Clefable and a Herdier. But when it comes down to it, we're not 100% sure and are technically assumimg when we listed them as evolved from Cleffa and Lillipup. Therefore, long story short, I don't really have the answer right now. It may be a bit much to retroactively use this new way of thinking on every article where this is applicable (I'd truly hate to list May both owning a Bulbasaur and a Venusaur to be honest, even if that is technically assuming too), but there is certainly truth in this way of thinking. Perhaps it's best if this issue is discussed on a broader scale, as I'm not exactly in the position to make a decision on this. ☼ Blazing[[User talk:Blazingfist|Fist ☼]] 21:01, 22 October 2017 (UTC)

== Can you help me with this? ==

I recently ran into a potential mistake regarding a held item on a [[Pokémon World Tournament]] Pokémon, and I'd like to see if a mistake has been made regarding it. Since I'm shamelessly lazy, I'll just say that the problem is described on [[Talk:Type Expert Tournament/Ground|this talk page]], instead of describing it here again. Sorry. Since you apparently own a Black 2 Version, could you check this out for me? I also have the Unova sequels on my emulator, but I can't remember if I've unlocked the correct tournament in them yet. Can you check if there has been a mistake?

==Question==
Could my Professor Kukui anime page be mainspaced sometime soon? I feel like he's been important in at least a few episodes and he's appeared in almost all of them. WithTapu Koko, as it has played a big role in a few episodes and will be fighting Necrozma soon and that seems like something important in this arc. As for Rapp's Zubat, I'm not sure if it fits the criteria, but it was heavily involved in SM001, SM025 and somewhat so in SM084. [[User:Playerking95|Playerking95]] ([[User talk:Playerking95|talk]]) 15:43, 23 August 2018 (UTC)
:Rapp's Zubat, no. Kukui, maybe. But that's not something I can decide on my own, I will need to consult with other staff. I think you're better off directly asking Head of Anime abcboy to be honest. ☼ Blazing[[User talk:Blazingfist|Fist ☼]] 15:52, 23 August 2018 (UTC)

== Pokémon League Conference article pictures ==

Since you have been minorly involved in this I thought I would come to you about it. On the [[Pokémon League Conference]] article, the table shows images of the locations where the competitions take place. The pictures of the Indigo Plateau and Silver Conferences have been changed to just pictures of the main stadiums. I personally don't agree with this change because all of the other tournament pictures show all of the stadiums the competition takes place in. The old pictures of Indigo Plateau and Silver Town showed all of the stadiums for those conferences, but the new single stadium pictures don't. Thoughts? --[[User:HoennMaster|Hoenn]][[User talk:HoennMaster|Master]] 19:48, 8 November 2018 (UTC)
:Yes, I agree with you. The images should be representative of the tournament complex as a whole, not just one small part of it. If there's a good image of the entire complex, I don't see any reason why we should change it to an image of just one stadium. This is especially the case with the Silver Conference IMO. We use images for the entire complex for the Hoenn, Sinnoh and Unova leagues and not just the stadium that the finals are held in, why should that be different for the Silver Conference?
:Although I will say a case can be made for the Indigo Conference. The image that was used for it was from the Battle Frontier saga and also showed the Grand Festival venues, so it wasn't ideal. I'm not 100% sure, but I don't think the old Kanto league episodes ever showed a clear shot of the entire tournament complex. So I'm saying a case can be made there, but on the other hand I'm also not against using the Battle Frontier image. ☼ Blazing[[User talk:Blazingfist|Fist ☼]] 19:57, 8 November 2018 (UTC)
::I find your choice of words very interesting. First because you're saying the ''main'' stadium of the Silver Conference is "just one small part of it" when it's actually the place where most of the important battles took place and also the largest stadium by far. We don't even have images of the other stadiums and yet we're choosing to ignore the one image we have because other stadiums exist (!!!).
::Second because you seem to think that we have a good image of the entire complex when we don't. What we have is an image of Silver Town and we can hardly see the other stadiums there. The very user who uploaded that image, FinnishPokéFan92, prefers to use the image of the main stadium judging by their edit to the Pokémon League Conference page.
::Lastly, in your most recent edit summary in the Pokémon League Conference page, you said ''"Let's stay consistent: the Hoenn, Sinnoh and Unova leagues don't use final stadium images."'' which I'm assuming is a joke, because as I said [[User talk:Mikuri#League Stadium pictures|here]], that is the ''opposite'' of being consistent. We use images of stadiums rather than images of the hosting city. If you want to see the image of the hosting city, you click on the link below the stadium image and check its page. The League tournaments you mentioned don't use "final stadium images" because all of their stadiums are connected.
::Also, I'd like to add that you were the one who added that table listing the Grand Festival tournaments to the Grand Festival page, and you ''did not'' use the Indigo Plateau image, you chose to use the image of the main stadium, I wonder why it's different now. But that's that on that. Just wanted to point out all of these inconsistencies. They're happening fairly often as of lately. Can you believe that earlier today I added the incomplete tag to a page created by the current head of anime? A page that has almost no content aside from the langtable. In the past the staff would move these articles to the userspace, but now the staff is creating pages with two sentences directly in the mainspace. Thanks for reading. --[[User:Mikuri|'''Mi''']][[User talk: Mikuri|'''ku''']][[Special:Contributions/Mikuri|'''ri''']] 01:06, 9 November 2018 (UTC)
:::First off, please change your tone. I find your tone rather condescending, and I have often found it to be this way towards other people. It's not helping you in the least. You're not some high and mighty person whose opinions are superior.
:::Regarding your points: yes, and the central stadiums of the Hoenn, Sinnoh and Unova Leagues are also a small part of it, and yet we use the overview images. Yes, the other stadiums exist, and that's exactly why. They should be acknowledged. The League '''didn't''' take place in just one big stadium, it took place over multiple stadiums and the image reflects that.
:::There's where we disagree, I do. It '''is''' an image of the entire complex.
:::I disagree again, I think only doing the final stadium thing for two leagues and not three others is inconsistent. It's not a joke in the least, it's fairly rude of you to say so. I don't think your opinions are a joke, even though I disagree with them. I don't see what stadiums being connected has to do with anything. Either upload final stadium images of the Hoenn, Sinnoh and Unova league or don't. It's that simple.
:::Yes, I did at that time, but my first priority was getting that template done and that Grand Festival image just used to be the main page image at that time. I don't really know about any inconsistensies. Maybe it's just things not going the way you want them to go. I can't speak for abcboy, and it's fairly unbelievable that you choose to backstab him via some unrelated discussion on my talk page. If you have a problem with him, bring it up with him, not me. ☼ Blazing[[User talk:Blazingfist|Fist ☼]] 07:21, 9 November 2018 (UTC)
::::I am not the one acting as if my opinions are superior. There wasn't a single moment when I said ''"I '''personally''' don't agree with this"'' or a variation of that. Unlike HoennMaster who literally said that, word for word, I wasn't giving my own personal opinion, I was stating (and illustrating with examples) how things work (or used to work, I don't know anymore) around here.
::::Regarding my tone, well, if you look at the three most recent discussions on my talkpage, you will see that I can be very nice and polite. But different situations call for different tones, and I am sorry if this discussion hurt your feelings.
::::It doesn't surprise me in the least that you find the Silver Town image a good one considering all of the low quality images you uploaded to start [[User:Blazingfist/Anime competitions|this page]] (some of which now have newer, better versions uploaded by me).

::::Also, I wasn't backstabbing abcboy. If I had sent you a private message, sure. But this page can (and I'm sure it has) be read by him. Stabbing someone in the back means the person isn't looking, and this discussion is available for anyone to see. What I was doing is painting a picture, one that shows the staff as people whose actions are not consistent with how they expect other users to behave and with Bulbapedia's overall style.
::::Please answer, was I lying when I said that starting an article the way abcboy started the [[Wind Festival]] one (if we can call that an article) would result in the user who started it receiving a warning on their talkpage, told to wait for more information, and having the page moved to their userspace? Is this not true?
::::You said that my attitude isn't helping me at all, but when [[User talk:Force Fire#Need your help|I did ask for help]], I didn't get any response. Apparently because FF seems to think that [[Special:Diff/2821305|this kind of edit]] is doing wonders for Bulbapedia. Or perhaps because he is too busy doing [[Special:Diff/2875741|things like this]]? Because these are two great examples of quality edits.
::::To further confirm what I'm saying about the staff being inconsistent, we have [[Weather trio|this page]] sitting at the pile of candidates for moving for over two years now because, [[Talk:Weather trio#Super-ancient Pokémon|according to Tiddlywinks]], we have to wait for Editorial Board approval when, in reality, EB member Ataro created the article [[super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)]]. Don't you find that curious?
::::The same Tiddlywinks [[User talk:Tiddlywinks#Battle Frontier articles|recently deleted]] the Battle Frontier articles even though the split had been approved by SnorlaxMonster. But I am sure that you're well aware of all of that because you said that you have found my tone to be condescending towards other people, so it can be presumed that you have seen these messages before.
::::It seems as if I have changed topics, but when I joined this discussion I wasn't planning to get the Silver Stadium image back into the Pokémon League Conference page. You had already made your decision without waiting for a proper discussion to take place and ignoring, as did HoennMaster, the existing discussion on my talkpage. I was trying to shine a light on these inconsistencies, which I have accomplished. I'm hoping that you understand that instead of accusing me of backstabbing others.

:::::This discussion didn't hurt my feelings in the least. But it's clear that you can be very dismissive of others and their opinions. Look no further than "I'm assuming is a joke" in your previous message. And you display this kind of attitude all over. I'm sure you can be nice as well, but that doesn't excuse your less favourable behaviour. I don't really care if you think my opinions or way of thinking are a joke, but it's no secret that a lot of people at Bulbapedia and Bulbagarden in general have autism, social anxiety, etc., and speaking so harshly to others can be hurtful to them. Take that as you wish. There's no problem with disagreeing with someone, but you can do so in a courteous, respectful way.
:::::Not sure why you're bashing the images over at '''my''' userspace page that currently doesn't have a Mainspace tag to it. Seems rather petty of you to complain over that, but alas.
:::::Alright, perhaps backstabbing was not the right word. But I still find it pretty weak to bring it up in an unrelated discussion on my talk page.

::::::So judging by the messages you left on this discussion you have seen me treating others in a condescending manner for quite a while now but it never once crossed your mind to leave me a message on my talk page telling me to be nicer or something? It's only when it affects you directly that you felt the need to speak out and play the role of advocate for autism and social anxiety? Nice try but I'm not buying it.
::::::I wasn't ''bashing'' your images. I was merely saying they're low quality, which is far from offering the harsh criticism the word "bashing" conveys. How easily offended can you be? Please select your words more carefully and don't attempt to paint me as someone I am not. First by saying I was backstabbing abcboy, then by implying I'm not considerate of others, and now this.
::::::And please give me some credit. How clueless do you think I am? The section directly above this one has Playerking95 demanding to be answered by you and only you. The reason for this? Everyone and their grandparents know that staff members keep an eye on each others' talk pages. Staffers have meddled into several discussions outside their talk pages before, but oftentimes they will conveniently ignore some discussions like this one. Why should I copy and paste this into the talk pages of each of the users I mentioned? To be left on read by Force Fire again? To be told by Tiddlywinks that there's no great rush in solving a problem he created?
::::::I doubt abcboy and the others haven't read this yet, but he hasn't replied because there's really no defending a two-sentence article. And whether or not you admit it, you know fully well I'm right, otherwise you would have answered the question I left in my previous message regarding this.
::::::Answering or ignoring this is your choice, and I have no interest in continuing this discussion either, but I'm not going to sit and watch as you act all holier-than-thou and paint me as a backstabber inconsiderate who is bashing you. --[[User:Mikuri|'''Mi''']][[User talk: Mikuri|'''ku''']][[Special:Contributions/Mikuri|'''ri''']] 22:49, 11 November 2018 (UTC)

== The Preview Button ==
Instead of editing a page several times in a row, try using the preview button to make sure your edit looks the way you want it to. It's right next to the Save Changes button... Please try it out, so as not to clog up the Recent Changes.

== Team Plasma article ==

I understand your reasoning, but I think it clear enough that the episodes discussed are unaired. Take this sentence, for example, "Team Plasma '''were initially''' set to debut...but the episodes '''were postponed indefinitely'''...". The rest of the "Behind the scenes" section also clearly and explicitly states that the episodes are unaired. In addition, clicking those links takes you to the articles for the unaired episodes. I don't think there's any confusion over whether it's talking about the aired or unaired episodes. [[User:Pokegen master|Pokegen master]] ([[User talk:Pokegen master|talk]]) 14:53, 1 March 2013 (UTC)

Where did you get six from? Also, the edit summary you put, I found it to be rude. [[User:Pattyman|Patty]][[User talk:Pattyman|Man]] 19:40, 20 April 2013 (UTC)
:Sorry, I wasn't trying to be rude, I hate being or coming off as rude, but it seemed kind of obvious to me. Especially if you checked here: http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/List_of_episodes#Black_.26_White:_Adventures_in_Unova (scroll down, starting from ''[[BW103|Curtain Up, Unova League!]]'', then ''[[BW104|Mission: Defeat Your Rival!]]'', ''[[BW105|Lost at the League!]]'', ''[[BW106|Strong Strategy Steals the Show!]]'', ''[[BW107|Cameron's Secret Weapon!]]'', and lastly ''[[BW108|A Unova League Evolution!]]'', six episodes in total, which does in fact make it the shortest league. ☼ [[User:Blazingfist|Blazing]][[User talk:Blazingfist|Fist ☼]] 19:45, 20 April 2013 (UTC)
::I must have counted ''[[BW102|Team Eevee and the Pokémon Rescue Squad!]]'' by mistake.

:It's nothing personal, or anything, it is because the grammar and spelling you used was very bad and almost unreadable. I perfectly understand English may not be your native language (guess what, English isn't my native language either) but remember, this IS an English encyclopedia, so at least basic level skills of the English language are wanted here. Also, you wrote some Pokémon names wrong. Try to improve your English a bit and read this: the {{bp|Manual of Style}}, it contains useful information about writing things here at Bulbapedia. Hope this clears things up. ☼ [[User:Blazingfist|Blazing]][[User talk:Blazingfist|Fist ☼]] 19:27, 6 May 2013 (UTC)

== Who's That Pokemon? BW115 engdub ==
I just want to know is Watchog featured in english version of Who's That Pokemon BW115 o not?
Pikachu65 13:25, 1 June 2013 (UTC)
:I have no idea actually. I haven't seen the episode, I only know it aired because a review topic of the episode was opened on the forums. ☼ [[User:Blazingfist|Blazing]][[User talk:Blazingfist|Fist ☼]] 13:27, 1 June 2013 (UTC)
Maybe it was Watchog after all. Oh well. Just wait until tomorrow. Pikachu65 13:31, 1 June 2013 (UTC)

And besides, Watchog has been scanned second time. In episode BW115. Pikachu65 11:48, 2 June 2013 (UTC)

== Charizard ==

Hey I didnt say anything about the fact that they cant. The section I was pointed to said nothing but that. I was pointing it out. But if the dub says so then it is confirmed. I get saying it once or twice in an episode could be a mistake but if the official website states it, then it is confirmed. The Pokemon company here works close with the one in Japan, So I doubt that they would just make stuff up. All of the signs point to him as a male, he even looks male, unlike Charla, So I would say that it is in fact confirmed [[User:Black60Dragon|'''Black''''''Dragon''']] 00:21, 9 June 2013 (UTC)
:I'm going to reply here, to keep it in one place. It seemed like you said they can't, as you didn't make it sound like a quote. But anyway, that's not important. If the characters in the dub say so, it is not confirmed, as the dub is just a derivation of the original Japanese series. The original Japanese series is ultimate canon, as the series is made in Japan. So, if they don't refer to Ash's Charizard as male in the original Japanese episodes (which they don't), but they do in the dub, then it's not canon. And where does the official website state it? Could you provide a source? Lastly, "he even looks male, unlike Charla" isn't confirmation, just an opinion. Someone else could see that differently. As it is a policy, written in big red letters on the talk page of the article, it is better to leave it alone. ☼ [[User:Blazingfist|Blazing]][[User talk:Blazingfist|Fist ☼]] 00:27, 9 June 2013 (UTC)
::There is the Purrloin incident when Meowth traveled with the group. [[User:Pattyman|Patty]][[User talk:Pattyman|Man]] 00:33, 9 June 2013 (UTC)~
::: ^ Which does indeed confirm that Pokémon of the same sex could fall in love which each other. For all we know Charizard ''is'' female. Now ''that'' would be a stunning revelation, if they decided to make that ultimate canon. But we don't know yet. ☼ [[User:Blazingfist|Blazing]][[User talk:Blazingfist|Fist ☼]] 00:39, 9 June 2013 (UTC)

Still even if Japan is the ultimate cannon version, the American Pokemon company is just as reliable. Yeah the looking part is an opinion, I was just saying that. I mean Charla is a girl and looks like it. I dont see Ash putting Bows in Charizards hair, just saying. But honestly if the Dub says it it should be confirmed, as like I said, They work close together now. Sometimes you have to just take the clues and what the dub says and put it together. Every sign says he is just read them. But if I remember correctly the Meowth moment, he thought that Purrloin was a girl right? Which doesnt say much as he took it back. If that is the right moment. [[User:Black60Dragon|'''Black''''''Dragon''']] 03:21, 9 June 2013 (UTC)
:There's a note next the "Unknown" stating that it is male in the dub (hover over the asterisk to see it). But that doesn't mean it is a male in the Japanese version.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 04:35, 9 June 2013 (UTC)
::Indeed, that note should be enough. It is referred to as male in the dub version, okay, but not in the original version. The Japanese language does not have gender pronouns. Which mean they can't refer to Charizard as male or female in the original version. Which means it could only be revealed by other means. Conclusion: we don't know if it is male or female in the original version right now, we do know it is male in the dub. The original version is the most important and should be noted first, and this is exactly how it is stated now in its infobox on its page. I don't see a problem. ☼ [[User:Blazingfist|Blazing]][[User talk:Blazingfist|Fist ☼]] 11:45, 9 June 2013 (UTC)

== Concerning the trivia in BW119 ==

It was the first time the first time the Genesect Army was shown in the anime, albeit only in a flashback, so I would think it would count as notable Trivia [[User:Weavilewarrior|Weavile Warrior]] ([[User talk:Weavilewarrior|talk]]) 23:47, 15 July 2013 (UTC)
:Yes, but the main point you made was Genesect individually appearing for the second time in the anime. 1: The first time was a silhoutte, which is not counted as an appearance, 2: Something is not trivia worthy when its the second time, in this case Genesect appearing for the second time.

:Which brings me to the trivia about the Genesect Army, I'm not sure about that actually. But I'd still keep it as unnotable, as the Genesect Army, with a link to the corresponding page, is already listed under "Debut" on the BW119 page, that should be enough. ☼ Blazing[[User talk:Blazingfist|Fist ☼]] 23:52, 15 July 2013 (UTC)

== BW123 ==

I contacted {{u|Crystal Talian}} about the title, she said to wait until either a title card of the episode on TV, a DVD title card, or the official site posted the title of the episode before changing it.

:Yes, I saw it just now, good you asked a staff member about this. While Cartoon Network is an official source when it comes to the Pokémon anime, they've also made terrible mistakes with dub names in the past, so they are not reliable for the full 100%. It think's it's indeed best the way it's done now. ☼ Blazing[[User talk:Blazingfist|Fist ☼]] 11:47, 16 July 2013 (UTC)

Hi! Blazingfist, I tell you, I saw the title of the BW123 in www.cartoonnetwork.com in the program schedule last Sunday, and appeared well: Farewell, Unova! Setting Sail for New Adventures! . And if you now get to see the program schedule on Saturday will find the title as you point it out myself, nice talking to you! and no problem with writing in my page discussion :D bye! --[[User:1998gmo|1998gmo]] ([[User talk:1998gmo|talk]]) 18:55, 16 July 2013 (UTC)
:Nice talking to you too :D Anyway, for now the page title has been changed back, I hope you understand, as it is not confirmed 100%. Also [http://www.locatetv.com/listings/cartoon-network#27-Jul-2013 this schedule] lists the title as just ''Farewell, Unova!'' (they misspell Unova as "Unvoa" though). Very weird, only time will tell what the real title is. But thanks for your input and research of course! ☼ Blazing[[User talk:Blazingfist|Fist ☼]] 20:40, 16 July 2013 (UTC)

== Harley's Cacturne ==

If Alexa's Helioptile and Gogoat don't count as Pokémon seen on Minori Island, what about Harley's Cacturne on Izabe Island since it made recurring appearances in other places? [[User:Pattyman|Patty]][[User talk:Pattyman|Man]] 16:12, 4 August 2013 (UTC)
:I don't know about that, that should probably be removed too then. I always figured the "Seen on" section was for Pokémon that seem native on the island or owned by CotDs on the island. Anyway, if Gogoat and Helioptile are counted, should Pikachu, Axew and others not be included too to the "Seen on" section then. Just doesn't make much sense if you ask me. ☼ Blazing[[User talk:Blazingfist|Fist ☼]] 16:38, 4 August 2013 (UTC)
::I usually count the debuts of the non-CotDs as Pokémon seen on the island. However, seeing your point, it would be best to remove them all. [[User:Pattyman|Patty]][[User talk:Pattyman|Man]] 18:03, 4 August 2013 (UTC)

== My Explanation ==

Hello, i'm PokeSerbia. I'm from the Serbia. I wanted that i'm not good at english lanaguage because i'm not native from the US/UK/Canada and i'm from serbia as my users suggest. I do wanted to improve my grammar, but i still had yet to do. I'm sorry for what i'm doing it for reason. I wanted to fix the plot but some of my bad grammar i'm you and others reverting because of my ignorance of Bulbapedia system.

For what i would, i wanted to add that the Panchau's species was originally Naughthy Pokemon but some users made share species and i wanted to add origin spescies was Naugthy Pokemon.

I'm very very very very very very sorry for my bad gramaar for i'm not native. {{unsigned|PokeSerbia}}

== Re: Uploading Pictures ==

In response to your message, as I explained before, I did in fact check the Archives for any answers I could find, but yet, none I found. Is there any other possible way to upload pictures? Whenever I do, it says:

"You do not have permission to create new pages."

Even though I actually do have permission to create pages, even though I don't want to create a page in this case in the first place, that's what I get whenever I want to add a picture :/ {{unsigned|MatrVincent}}
:It's probably because you're not Autoconfirmed. As it says in the Archives FAQ under "How do I upload?", you need to have made a certain amount of edits on already existing files. Getting to edit your userspace on Bulbapedia works the same way as you may have noticed you weren't able to create your own userpage right away. The exact number of edits to be made to become Autoconfirmed is actually a secret. As I'm not active on the Archives myself I suggest sending a message to an Archives admin asking what you can help with or what files you could edit.

Where is this discussion going on cuz I can't find it. And, really, what other move could it be besides "Psyshock"?

:The discussion is not taking place here on Bulbapedia. I've talked it over with G50 who is a Senior Administrator and we've both come to the conclusion that it's wise to leave it unconfirmed for now. I'm sorry, but if we went by everything that isn't called out directly we would be making a lot of assumptions and Bulbapedia wouldn't be a very trustworthy place. Maybe the higher staff will still decide to consider it confirmed as being Psyshock, but if not, we'll just have to wait to a future instance where the move is directly commanded by Serena, unfortunately. ☼ Blazing[[User talk:Blazingfist|Fist ☼]] 16:42, 27 March 2014 (UTC)

Refer to the Meyer/Blaziken Mask discussion above.

We're good for a merge. Just chatted with [[User:Force Fire]] over on his talk page about it and he confirms we're clear now to go ahead and merge it. Before doing so, I wanted to see some of your opinions on going about the merge. I'm headed to bed right now and don't think I'd be able to do a complete job in my present state of mind, but I will be looking at it in the morning while I'm stationed at home for a while before I take off for the afternoon and already have some ideas for it.

If I don't see you respond by morning (which is fine, maybe you're in bed too), I'll go ahead and put my ideas into practice and you can still contribute after the fact. I merely wanted to ask your thoughts now, while I'm asleep, before going ahead, and would take that into consideration. =) [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 05:16, 28 March 2014 (UTC)

== Berry baker kids ==

I placed the {{template|unknown name}} template of the [[Berry baker kids]] page because they weren't given real names such as Emily, Brad, Alan, and so on. To me, berry baker kids sounds like an occupation they're being referred to. [[User:Pattyman|Patty]][[User talk:Pattyman|Man]] 01:39, 30 June 2014 (UTC)
:To me it seems more like the name of their "baking group", rather than an occupation. Anyway, the dubbers decided to use this in place of "Toraya siblings", so it should be treated as the official name. The {template|unknown name}} would imply they have no known name at all, which isn't true, since they were referred to as this in the episode. ☼ Blazing[[User talk:Blazingfist|Fist ☼]] 10:02, 1 July 2014 (UTC)

== Heroes - Friends and Faux Alike! ==

Hello, I saw you reverted my edit in [[XY030]] by putting the English name of the previous episode instead of the "XY029" epicode. As I explained in the edit summary, the English name shouldn't be put if its a Japan-only event (in this case, the one-hour special), but rather just the epicode. I'd like to know if there's there any reason to put the English title again, since you might have not been aware of that, or I could be as well wrong. --[[User:Gabo 2oo|Gabo 2oo]] ([[User talk:Gabo 2oo|talk]]) 20:08, 7 July 2014 (UTC)
:My apologies, I didn't check the history so I didn't even notice you had undone anything. Well, [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/List_of_anime_specials#Main_series all the other couple of episodes that aired right after each other] do have the dub title even if they aired only together in Japan. I automatically deduced this was the right thing to do for XY029 and XY030 as well. Personally it weirdens me if only the epicode is shown on a page that represents both the original version and the dub, unlike when it's on a page that's original version only like for a Japanese opening or ending. But perhaps you're right, since it ''does'' refer to something that applies to the original version only. Perhaps it's best to ask a higher-up admin about this as I'm not completely sure. In any case, if the latter applies then all the other dub titles on pages of episodes that didn't air together in the English dub should be removed as well. ☼ Blazing[[User talk:Blazingfist|Fist ☼]] 20:27, 7 July 2014 (UTC)

==How to make new pages==

Look,blaze.I'm Sladoled and literally the only reason I've joined bulbapedia is to make an article on Conway's Slowking.Could you clarify to me how to do it? {{unsigned|Sladoled}}
:You can only create pages once you're autoconfirmed. You'll become autoconfirmed once your account has been active for a while and once you've made a certain amount of edits (the exact number is a secret). That being said, Conway's Slowking is not deemed notable enough for its own article. It only had a couple of appearances and didn't show enough personality. In fact, other users have made pages for it before, but they were deleted by the Staff. Still, there are enough other things you can do on Bulbapedia. Check what [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Special:WantedPages Wanted Pages] there are for example. There are also articles that are too short, so-called [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Category:Stubs Stubs]. Then we have [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Category:Articles_needing_improvement articles needing improvement], and [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Category:Articles_needing_more_information articles needing more information] (in the latter, it's usually a short bit of information that's missing). Enjoy your time here and I wish you good luck finding things to edit on Bulbapedia. ☼ Blazing[[User talk:Blazingfist|Fist ☼]] 10:19, 1 August 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for the help blaze,and I think that [[p|Slowking]] has shown more personality than pokémon like [[Sakura's Espeon]] and you should really consider letting the article exist.Just for the sake of awesome. {{unsigned|Sladoled}}
:You're welcome. Check [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Bulbapedia:Anime_Pok%C3%A9mon_Notability_policy#Notability_requirements this] to see what requirements a Pokémon needs to get an own page. In the section I linked, especially check point 3. While Slowking may be considered Conway's signature Pokémon, it didn't have any major impact in the episodes it appeared in or in the series as a whole. Sakura's Espeon did, and this is why it does have a page and Conway's Slowking does not. Also, please remember to sign your comments. You do this by leaving four tildes like this: <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>. Finally, you linked to Slowking's page like this: <nowiki>[[p|Slowking]]</nowiki>.

== Elite Four Members and Champions ==

Hey Blazingfist,

I'm not trying to be rude, but I've got a question. On the Elite Four page, it lists that Ash has met Lance. I edited it awhile back, adding that Ash has met Diantha. Lance is listed as a Champion on the aforementioned page, so why doesn't it count that Ash met Diantha in ''[[XY028|The Bonds of Evolution!]]''? {{unsigned|WATERWARRIOR67}}
:It's because that page lists Lance as Elite Four. I know it's a bit confusing, but back in Gen I Lance was of course still Elite Four. That page counts Lance as being part of the Gen I Elite Four too (even though he was referred to as a Champion in the episodes he appeared in). Also a reminder, please sign your comments. ☼ Blazing[[User talk:Blazingfist|Fist ☼]] 10:05, 5 August 2014 (UTC)

== Trivia ==

On the Rota page, I was guessing. I wasn't really awake when I typed it. I meant to type that it shares its name with the island of Rota, considering it's a real place. I don't know how I keep screwing the simple things up. [[User:WATERWARRIOR67|WATERWARRIOR67]] ([[User talk:WATERWARRIOR67|talk]]) 17:10, 9 August 2014 (UTC)WATERWARRIOR67
:I undid your edit there because I really doubt that's where they got the name Rota from. It sharing the name of a real-life island can also be a coincidence. If the real-life Rota were a medieval-themed town with a castle, yes then it would've been very likely to be the name origin. Since it's a tropical island instead, I really doubt it. Be aware that a lot of the trivia you've added over the past few weeks has been removed, for the simple reason these bits of trivia were not notable enough, or too unfounded. Before you add trivia, always ask yourself if it's notable enough or if the trivia is actually true or based on loose thoughts instead. If you're really not sure, you can always propose the trivia on the talk page of the page you want to add the trivia to, so others can decide if it is indeed notable enough. ☼ Blazing[[User talk:Blazingfist|Fist ☼]] 17:22, 9 August 2014 (UTC)

One, I wish that were the case with Rota; I'm really into history and cultural stuff like that. Two, what do you mean by too unfounded. And three, by "others", who do you mean? {{unsigned|WATERWARRIOR67}}
:With unfounded I mean that a lot of the trivia you've come up with so far has been very doubtful. Like characters being named after singers or bands, or a medieval town like Rota being named after a real-life tropical island. A lot of them seemed to be based on loose thoughts rather than factual information or likeliness. It's best to only add trivia if it's completely factual or at least very likely. Other trivia you added simply wasn't notable enough. That's why I said you could bring your trivia additions up on talk pages before you add them, just to be sure it's noteworthy, or plausible. With others I simply mean other users. And you've been told before, but please sign your comments. Thanks. ☼ Blazing[[User talk:Blazingfist|Fist ☼]] 23:57, 9 August 2014 (UTC)

:Because Adyniz, who is a Bureaucrat here and watches over the dub title reveals, has said we have to consider these two unconfirmed for now. Bulbapedia is unfamiliar with this source. What if we add all those titles now and they don't turn out to be true? That would be a mess, and this has happened before (I speak out of experience).

== Clemontic Gear ==

Hello, you commented on the picture for the Motivation Machine that it would be better to wait until a confirmation of the names before uploading, so it wouldn't be necessary to move it later. I suggest that, instead of that, we could just name them "Clemontic Gear XYxxx" temporarily, but instead of moving it to a translation of its Japanese name, we could wait until the dub version to air and ''then'' move it to its English name. I believe this could save work and time, all while we could still list the Japanese names and translation on the article itself.

Also, is there any specific requirements for userspace articles to be moved to the main space? Because your page is pretty good and I'm worried if its moving stretches out too long. I mean, there are articles like [[User:HoennMaster/N's Hideout|N's Hideout]] that still haven't been moved to mainspace, even if by now, the information is not as required as it would have been back in the day when it first appeared. I wouldn't want that to happen to the Clemontic Gear page, specially since I haven't really seen any discussion about articles that should be moved to mainspace.

By the way, I have a doubt about [[a:File:OPJ17 2.png|the ''Mega Volt'' opening header picture]]. As you can see by its history, I had a little edit war with Ataro (yes, I'm sorry about that, it wasn't called for), since he said that due to the title of the opening, we should use a picture that has something "Mega" on it, instead of the screenshot I considered better. The thing is, leaving that aside, said "Mega" header picture isn't used anymore in the opening sequence, as it was replaced along with other scenes. Is it okay if the head picture for the opening is from a scene that isn't used on it? I ask because we could use that picture in our usual "Variant" section instead, and I asked Ataro about this on his talk page, but he didn't seem to answer me. --[[User:Gabo 2oo|Gabo 2oo]] ([[User talk:Gabo 2oo|talk]]) 23:42, 15 October 2014 (UTC)
:I think that might be a better idea indeed, as you're right having to move from Japanese to dub is also kinda unnecessary moving. Fine with me.

:I don't know the specific requirements for it to be moved to the mainspace. I think in most cases, or at least the most important ones, the Editorial Board has the final say. But sometimes it might also be any higher-up admins who make the decision. I'd also see it moved rather soon, I'll bring it up on the talk page.

:I'm not sure if I should participate in this discussion, also because I'm only a Junior Admin on Bulbapedia, not on the Archives, so I have little to say there. My advice is to still bring it up with Ataro, and if he doesn't respond maybe send him a reminder. And otherwise you should bring it up with Kogoro. ☼ Blazing[[User talk:Blazingfist|Fist ☼]] 10:07, 16 October 2014 (UTC)

==A Question on Creating Pages==
Hi, I'm new (It took me a while to find the edit button...) and I just have a quick question. How long after creating an account must you wait until you are allowed to create a page? I'm itching to create one that (surprisingly) doesn't even exist yet! Thanks, hjk321 14:22, 16 February 2015 (UTC)
:Hello hjk321. First off, welcome to Bulbapedia. If you have problems finding things out around here, I'd suggest having a look at the [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Bulbapedia:FAQ FAQ]. But asking another user is always a good idea too of course. To answer your question: you need to make a certain number of edits, and your account must have been registered for a certain while. For both requirements I don't know the exact numbers, as this is a secret known by only a few. I'd suggest just to start editing. The numbers to meet those requirements shouldn't be too high. Just edit away and eventually you'll become autoconfirmed, which means you'll be allowed to create pages, among other things. To give some ideas as to what you could edit, I'd suggest checking out the [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Bulbapedia:Editor%27s_Hub Editor's Hub]. Also check out the [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Bulbapedia:Manual_of_style Manual of Style]. The latter is a good guide on general editing. If you have an idea for a page, it's always a good idea to create it in your userspace first. If it is deemed complete and Bulbapedia-worthy, it can be mainspaced. But, to create your userspace you need to become autoconfirmed as well. If you have any further questions, don't hesitate to ask them to me, or any other staff member. I'd be happy to answer. Have a good time around here, and happy editing! ☼ Blazing[[User talk:Blazingfist|Fist ☼]] 17:04, 16 February 2015 (UTC)

I was informed by SnorlaxMonster before that we shouldn't be moving pages if a character's dubname is the same as a later character's Japanese name since the dub name of said later character may be different and moving them back would be a lot to handle. The move of Hoenn's Watt is an example as it was moved too early. I went ahead and added a move tag to Hoenn's Watt. [[User:Pattyman|Patty]][[User talk:Pattyman|Man]] 15:59, 14 March 2015 (UTC)

:::::Oh, and also, there's not much point moving it back now. The idea is that moving it then necessitates moving it back later if the dub name differs (like it often does).

Is this a de facto or de "jure" (written somewhere, I mean) standard procedure? And is it specifically a standard for lists of Pokemon that appear in an area? (To my knowledge, this area listing of Pokemon is a new development, so it's a bit weird for me to think it has a "standard procedure".) [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 18:22, 30 April 2015 (UTC)
:It's an unwritten procedure as far as I know. With standard procedure I mean that it has always applied to pages of locations. Take [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Milos_Island this one] for example. Or [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Cremini_Town this one]. I have never questioned this way of doing things, as to me it's kind of logical. If there is a known gender, it should be added. And if the source for the gender is the fact that in the games the Pokémon can only have one gender, why should we deny that? Unless it's stated otherwise (which, to my knowledge, has never happened). ☼ Blazing[[User talk:Blazingfist|Fist ☼]] 18:32, 30 April 2015 (UTC)
::Oh. I've never really paid much attention to anime-exclusive locations, so I didn't know these lists were there. Looking at those, I realize it's actually not a big problem for me with something like Jynx, because I easily know Jynx are female, but Florges is one whose gender-lock I haven't likewise assimilated.
::For me, if some Pokemon are indeed only one gender, then it's not like if you don't use a gender sign it suddenly means they ''can'' be either gender; logically they would be the only gender they can. And comparing such anime lists to the game lists of Pokemon, [[Kalos Route 4#Pokémon|Flabebe's]] and [[Cerulean City#Generation I|Jynx's]] genders aren't qualified there.

== Town infobox needs to be updated to display "other generation maps" for ORAS ==

Hello! Currently "[[Template:Town infobox|Town infobox]]" doesn't display "other generation maps" if the original generation parameter is less than 3. I believe this is because of the code <pre>{{#ifexpr: {{{generation|1}}} < 3|</pre> in the infobox :) This means that Hoenn locations in ORAS do not display the "other generation maps" panel, which would be needed in order to show the previous version of the location as seen in RSE. I can't even try to fix it, because I don't have the rights to edit it. Can you take a look and see if just changing that 3 to 4 makes it work properly, or if there is some other solution? Thanks!

While this episode wasn't aired outside of Japan and I don't speak Japanese so I can't verify it, I think it's technically the first nicknamed Pokémon. Unfortunately, I don't have edit rights to the user namespace so I can't add it myself, but I thought I'd let you know. -[[User:Thunderforge|Thunderforge]] ([[User talk:Thunderforge|talk]]) 03:26, 3 July 2017 (UTC)

== Squirtle at Oak's Laboratory ==

Before the photo sequence, Rotom had gone missing from the corral. By the end of the episode it said itself that it went on a journey to fill the Kanto Pokédex, without specifying where exactly was it wandering around. The Squirtle Squad photo being specifically taken at Oak's lab is pure speculation. --[[User:Gabo 2oo|Gabo 2oo]] ([[User talk:Gabo 2oo|talk]]) 05:29, 22 September 2017 (UTC)
:I'd say that the photo being taken outside of Oak's lab is pure speculation. There was no indication it had left. Going on a journey to fill fhe Kanto Pokédex may have meant as well going on a journey through the Oak corral, as it has been established that the corral is pretty big and a lot of Pokémon species live there. So saying Rotom left the lab is more speculative than saying it was at the lab all the time. Unless you have direct evidence that Rotom left the lab (dialogue I may have missed or something else). Then please present this. Rotom going missing is no evidence as they had a lot to focus on and had to cut away to other characters. ☼ Blazing[[User talk:Blazingfist|Fist ☼]] 09:11, 22 September 2017 (UTC)
::Fair enough. I didn't consider a "journey" through the corral could actually make sense; I associated it with going out and exploring the region, even though doing so in just one day makes little sense. On the other hand, registering all the Kanto Pokémon (sans Mew) in Oak's corral also makes little sense, but yeah, there's no clear indication that Rotom had actually left the lab. --[[User:Gabo 2oo|Gabo 2oo]] ([[User talk:Gabo 2oo|talk]]) 19:46, 22 September 2017 (UTC)

==Lusamine's Pokémon==
Hi, I had a discussion with {{u|Pumpkinking0192}} on {{ut|Pumpkinking0192#Lusamine's Pokémon|his talk page}} about whether Lusamine's Herdier and Clefable have evolved from the Lillipup and Cleffa that appeared in her family photo, because this was never explicitly stated. However, up until now, we have always assumed that character's Pokémon have evolved if the character later reappeared with the Pokémon's evolved form (for example May's Venusaur, Paul's Aggron, Alain's Metagross, etc.). Since this situation is basically the same as those, I don't see why the Pokémon's evolution can't be assumed. Since you're a staff member, I thought I'd ask for your opinion on this. [[User:Satsjoe|Satsjoe]] ([[User talk:Satsjoe|talk]]) 15:08, 21 October 2017 (UTC)
:My apologies for the late reply, I have been kind of busy lately. I can see both sides of the story, really. It's true that until now, we have often assumed that a Pokémon owned by someone is the same as its pre-evolved form if they were both owned by that certain someone. However, I can also see Pumpkinking's side of the argument, as policies and ways of thinking have changed around here through the years. Perhaps it is time to review this way of thinking. Trainers in the anime can just as easily own both species seperately. Take Nando for example, who owns both a Kricketot and a Kricketune. It's just that Kricketune appeared first that we know he owns them both, but if it was the other way around we might have wrongfully assumed Kricketune had evolved from Kricketot. I do get where this way of thinking comes from, as it is curious in this case that both Cleffa and Lillipup appear in the picture when Lusamine owns a Clefable and a Herdier. But when it comes down to it, we're not 100% sure and are technically assumimg when we listed them as evolved from Cleffa and Lillipup. Therefore, long story short, I don't really have the answer right now. It may be a bit much to retroactively use this new way of thinking on every article where this is applicable (I'd truly hate to list May both owning a Bulbasaur and a Venusaur to be honest, even if that is technically assuming too), but there is certainly truth in this way of thinking. Perhaps it's best if this issue is discussed on a broader scale, as I'm not exactly in the position to make a decision on this. ☼ Blazing[[User talk:Blazingfist|Fist ☼]] 21:01, 22 October 2017 (UTC)

:I don't know, you should ask him yourself on his talk page. But the situation seems to be resolved now from what I can tell. ☼ Blazing[[User talk:Blazingfist|Fist ☼]] 16:28, 27 October 2018 (UTC)

==Eevee, Where Are You Going?==
GrammarFreak keeps adding Eevee above Trainer Pokemon for episode 1. Aren't Trainer Pokemon always listed at the top of the list, even if the recurring Pokemon are important? [[User:Playerking95|Playerking95]] ([[User talk:Playerking95|talk]]) 09:44, 28 October 2018 (UTC)

:I feel putting Eevee lower on the list would be detrimental, since it's clearly the star of those shorts yet there's more emphasis on the Trainers' Pokémon. The cast lists should reflect that. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 09:53, 28 October 2018 (UTC)
::Pokémon belonging to '''main characters''' always goes first, and then important recurring Pokémon. Pokémon belonging to unimportant, nameless characters go after that. GrammarFreak is correct here.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 11:47, 28 October 2018 (UTC)
:::Except that's not true and has never been the case. Every single page lists recurring Pokemon under nameless Trainers. Look at SM013, Bewear is clearly listed under normal Trainers. [[User:Playerking95|Playerking95]] ([[User talk:Playerking95|talk]]) 12:36, 29 October 2018 (UTC)

==Pokemon Hierarchy==
To Blazingfist and only Blazingfist: Don't Pokemon with Trainers always go above wild Pokemon? [[User:Playerking95|Playerking95]] ([[User talk:Playerking95|talk]]) 12:38, 29 October 2018 (UTC)
:I agree with Force Fire, this is a special case. Eevee is clearly the star of its own "show" and to list it secondary to background Pokémon in the listings would be rather silly if you ask me. These shorts are very different from regular episodes anyway. ☼ Blazing[[User talk:Blazingfist|Fist ☼]] 13:05, 29 October 2018 (UTC)

== Pokémon League Conference article pictures ==

Since you have been minorly involved in this I thought I would come to you about it. On the [[Pokémon League Conference]] article, the table shows images of the locations where the competitions take place. The pictures of the Indigo Plateau and Silver Conferences have been changed to just pictures of the main stadiums. I personally don't agree with this change because all of the other tournament pictures show all of the stadiums the competition takes place in. The old pictures of Indigo Plateau and Silver Town showed all of the stadiums for those conferences, but the new single stadium pictures don't. Thoughts? --[[User:HoennMaster|Hoenn]][[User talk:HoennMaster|Master]] 19:48, 8 November 2018 (UTC)
:Yes, I agree with you. The images should be representative of the tournament complex as a whole, not just one small part of it. If there's a good image of the entire complex, I don't see any reason why we should change it to an image of just one stadium. This is especially the case with the Silver Conference IMO. We use images for the entire complex for the Hoenn, Sinnoh and Unova leagues and not just the stadium that the finals are held in, why should that be different for the Silver Conference?
:Although I will say a case can be made for the Indigo Conference. The image that was used for it was from the Battle Frontier saga and also showed the Grand Festival venues, so it wasn't ideal. I'm not 100% sure, but I don't think the old Kanto league episodes ever showed a clear shot of the entire tournament complex. So I'm saying a case can be made there, but on the other hand I'm also not against using the Battle Frontier image. ☼ Blazing[[User talk:Blazingfist|Fist ☼]] 19:57, 8 November 2018 (UTC)
::I find your choice of words very interesting. First because you're saying the ''main'' stadium of the Silver Conference is "just one small part of it" when it's actually the place where most of the important battles took place and also the largest stadium by far. We don't even have images of the other stadiums and yet we're choosing to ignore the one image we have because other stadiums exist (!!!).
::Second because you seem to think that we have a good image of the entire complex when we don't. What we have is an image of Silver Town and we can hardly see the other stadiums there. The very user who uploaded that image, FinnishPokéFan92, prefers to use the image of the main stadium judging by their edit to the Pokémon League Conference page.
::Lastly, in your most recent edit summary in the Pokémon League Conference page, you said ''"Let's stay consistent: the Hoenn, Sinnoh and Unova leagues don't use final stadium images."'' which I'm assuming is a joke, because as I said [[User talk:Mikuri#League Stadium pictures|here]], that is the ''opposite'' of being consistent. We use images of stadiums rather than images of the hosting city. If you want to see the image of the hosting city, you click on the link below the stadium image and check its page. The League tournaments you mentioned don't use "final stadium images" because all of their stadiums are connected.
::Also, I'd like to add that you were the one who added that table listing the Grand Festival tournaments to the Grand Festival page, and you ''did not'' use the Indigo Plateau image, you chose to use the image of the main stadium, I wonder why it's different now. But that's that on that. Just wanted to point out all of these inconsistencies. They're happening fairly often as of lately. Can you believe that earlier today I added the incomplete tag to a page created by the current head of anime? A page that has almost no content aside from the langtable. In the past the staff would move these articles to the userspace, but now the staff is creating pages with two sentences directly in the mainspace. Thanks for reading. --[[User:Mikuri|'''Mi''']][[User talk: Mikuri|'''ku''']][[Special:Contributions/Mikuri|'''ri''']] 01:06, 9 November 2018 (UTC)
:::First off, please change your tone. I find your tone rather condescending, and I have often found it to be this way towards other people. It's not helping you in the least. You're not some high and mighty person whose opinions are superior.
:::Regarding your points: yes, and the central stadiums of the Hoenn, Sinnoh and Unova Leagues are also a small part of it, and yet we use the overview images. Yes, the other stadiums exist, and that's exactly why. They should be acknowledged. The League '''didn't''' take place in just one big stadium, it took place over multiple stadiums and the image reflects that.
:::There's where we disagree, I do. It '''is''' an image of the entire complex.
:::I disagree again, I think only doing the final stadium thing for two leagues and not three others is inconsistent. It's not a joke in the least, it's fairly rude of you to say so. I don't think your opinions are a joke, even though I disagree with them. I don't see what stadiums being connected has to do with anything. Either upload final stadium images of the Hoenn, Sinnoh and Unova league or don't. It's that simple.
:::Yes, I did at that time, but my first priority was getting that template done and that Grand Festival image just used to be the main page image at that time. I don't really know about any inconsistensies. Maybe it's just things not going the way you want them to go. I can't speak for abcboy, and it's fairly unbelievable that you choose to backstab him via some unrelated discussion on my talk page. If you have a problem with him, bring it up with him, not me. ☼ Blazing[[User talk:Blazingfist|Fist ☼]] 07:21, 9 November 2018 (UTC)
::::I am not the one acting as if my opinions are superior. There wasn't a single moment when I said ''"I '''personally''' don't agree with this"'' or a variation of that. Unlike HoennMaster who literally said that, word for word, I wasn't giving my own personal opinion, I was stating (and illustrating with examples) how things work (or used to work, I don't know anymore) around here.
::::Regarding my tone, well, if you look at the three most recent discussions on my talkpage, you will see that I can be very nice and polite. But different situations call for different tones, and I am sorry if this discussion hurt your feelings.
::::It doesn't surprise me in the least that you find the Silver Town image a good one considering all of the low quality images you uploaded to start [[User:Blazingfist/Anime competitions|this page]] (some of which now have newer, better versions uploaded by me). And just to clarify, I wasn't laughing at your opinions, but rather at your courage to argue that you're being consistent when you're not.
::::Also, I wasn't backstabbing abcboy. If I had sent you a private message, sure. But this page can (and I'm sure it has) be read by him. Stabbing someone in the back means the person isn't looking, and this discussion is available for anyone to see. What I was doing is painting a picture, one that shows the staff as people whose actions are not consistent with how they expect other users to behave and with Bulbapedia's overall style.
::::Please answer, was I lying when I said that starting an article the way abcboy started the [[Wind Festival]] one (if we can call that an article) would result in the user who started it receiving a warning on their talkpage, told to wait for more information, and having the page moved to their userspace? Is this not true?
::::You said that my attitude isn't helping me at all, but when [[User talk:Force Fire#Need your help|I did ask for help]], I didn't get any response. Apparently because FF seems to think that [[Special:Diff/2821305|this kind of edit]] is doing wonders for Bulbapedia. Or perhaps because he is too busy doing [[Special:Diff/2875741|things like this]]? Because these are two great examples of quality edits.
::::To further confirm what I'm saying about the staff being inconsistent, we have [[Weather trio|this page]] sitting at the pile of candidates for moving for over two years now because, [[Talk:Weather trio#Super-ancient Pokémon|according to Tiddlywinks]], we have to wait for Editorial Board approval when, in reality, EB member Ataro created the article [[super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)]]. Don't you find that curious?
::::The same Tiddlywinks [[User talk:Tiddlywinks#Battle Frontier articles|recently deleted]] the Battle Frontier articles even though the split had been approved by SnorlaxMonster. But I am sure that you're well aware of all of that because you said that you have found my tone to be condescending towards other people, so it can be presumed that you have seen these messages before.
::::It seems as if I have changed topics, but when I joined this discussion I wasn't planning to get the Silver Stadium image back into the Pokémon League Conference page. You had already made your decision without waiting for a proper discussion to take place and ignoring, as did HoennMaster, the existing discussion on my talkpage. I was trying to shine a light on these inconsistencies, which I have accomplished. I'm hoping that you understand that instead of accusing me of backstabbing others. Thank you. --[[User:Mikuri|'''Mi''']][[User talk: Mikuri|'''ku''']][[Special:Contributions/Mikuri|'''ri''']] 16:19, 11 November 2018 (UTC)
:::::This discussion didn't hurt my feelings in the least. But it's clear that you can be very dismissive of others and their opinions. Look no further than "I'm assuming is a joke" in your previous message. And you display this kind of attitude all over. I'm sure you can be nice as well, but that doesn't excuse your less favourable behaviour. I don't really care if you think my opinions or way of thinking are a joke, but it's no secret that a lot of people at Bulbapedia and Bulbagarden in general have autism, social anxiety, etc., and speaking so harshly to others can be hurtful to them. Take that as you wish. There's no problem with disagreeing with someone, but you can do so in a courteous, respectful way.
:::::Not sure why you're bashing the images over at '''my''' userspace page that currently doesn't have a Mainspace tag to it. Seems rather petty of you to complain over that, but alas.
:::::Alright, perhaps backstabbing was not the right word. But I still find it pretty weak to bring it up in an unrelated discussion on my talk page. You didn't bother to talk this over with abcboy on his talk page. I'm honestly not sure why you're rambling on about unrelated staff complaints in a message about some image. I'm just an Administrator so I'm not the one to solve broader staff complaints. If you feel something is wrong with Bulbapedia staff, talk it over with Kogoro.
:::::I honestly have nothing further to say to you or to add to this discussion. I've said what I've wanted to say on the matter as a whole and in response to your message. My opinion hasn't changed and I have much better things to do currently than argue in long posts over some image (letalone staff complaints), so I won't reply any further, just so you know. For staff complains I'll redirect you to Kogoro and for discussion regarding the image, just start a talk page discussion and ask what other users think. ☼ Blazing[[User talk:Blazingfist|Fist ☼]] 16:47, 11 November 2018 (UTC)
::::::So judging by the messages you left on this discussion you have seen me treating others in a condescending manner for quite a while now but it never once crossed your mind to leave me a message on my talk page telling me to be nicer or something? It's only when it affects you directly that you felt the need to speak out and play the role of advocate for autism and social anxiety? Nice try but I'm not buying it.
::::::I wasn't ''bashing'' your images. I was merely saying they're low quality, which is far from offering the harsh criticism the word "bashing" conveys. How easily offended can you be? Please select your words more carefully and don't attempt to paint me as someone I am not. First by saying I was backstabbing abcboy, then by implying I'm not considerate of others, and now this.
::::::And please give me some credit. How clueless do you think I am? The section directly above this one has Playerking95 demanding to be answered by you and only you. The reason for this? Everyone and their grandparents know that staff members keep an eye on each others' talk pages. Staffers have meddled into several discussions outside their talk pages before, but oftentimes they will conveniently ignore some discussions like this one. Why should I copy and paste this into the talk pages of each of the users I mentioned? To be left on read by Force Fire again? To be told by Tiddlywinks that there's no great rush in solving a problem he created?
::::::I doubt abcboy and the others haven't read this yet, but he hasn't replied because there's really no defending a two-sentence article. And whether or not you admit it, you know fully well I'm right, otherwise you would have answered the question I left in my previous message regarding this.
::::::Answering or ignoring this is your choice, and I have no interest in continuing this discussion either, but I'm not going to sit and watch as you act all holier-than-thou and paint me as a backstabber inconsiderate who is bashing you. --[[User:Mikuri|'''Mi''']][[User talk: Mikuri|'''ku''']][[Special:Contributions/Mikuri|'''ri''']] 22:49, 11 November 2018 (UTC)
:::::::It's clear that you don't think very highly of me but no worries, the feeling is entirely mutual. As I said, I have no interest in further talking with you. Discuss your pent up staff frustrations with Kogoro. Bye bye now. ☼ Blazing[[User talk:Blazingfist|Fist ☼]] 22:57, 11 November 2018 (UTC)

'''Magikarp''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''コイキング''' ''Koiking'') is a {{type|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Gyarados}} starting at [[level]] 20.

==Biology==
Magikarp is a medium-sized fish Pokémon with large, heavy reddish-orange scales. It has large, vacant eyes and pink lips. Its pectoral and tail fins are white, but it has a stiff, three-peaked fin on its back and stomach that are both yellow. It also has long {{wp|barbel (anatomy)|barbels}}. The barbels are white on a female and tan on a male.

A long-lived Magikarp is able to utilize its immense splashing power to leap high enough to scale mountains. It also has a strong enough immune system to survive in the most polluted of waters. However, it is usually overlooked by Trainers because of its perceived weakness: even in the heat of battle it will do nothing but flop around. It is not a strong swimmer, and currents in the water will sweep it downstream. It is normally seen using its former [[signature move]], {{m|Splash}}, to leap out of the water, which makes them easy targets to predators such as {{p|Pidgeotto}} and {{p|Pidgeot}}. It is believed that the ancestors of Magikarp were actually much stronger than modern Magikarp, and this led scientists to research this species. Magikarp is found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon|many bodies of water}}, such as lakes, rivers, and ponds. However, due to its weak swimming ability it usually lives downstream of the water's flow.

==In the anime==

====Major appearances====
=====[[James's Magikarp]]=====
[[James]]'s Magikarp debuted in ''[[EP015|Battle Aboard the St. Anne!]]'', where he purchased it from the [[Magikarp salesman]]. It evolved into a Gyarados in [[EP016|the next episode]], after James abandoned it for its uselessness.

==Trivia==
* Magikarp is tied with {{p|Gyarados}} and {{p|Regigigas}} for being the lowest level Pokémon encountered in the wild, as well as also tied with Gyarados for the highest level Pokémon encountered in the wild. In {{v2|Platinum}}, Magikarp can be found at levels ranging from level 1 to 100 in the [[Resort Area]], and in {{game|Black and White|s 2|Black 2 and White 2}}, it can be found at the same levels in the [[Nature Preserve]]; both require a {{DL|Fishing|Super Rod}}.
* Magikarp and its evolution require the fewest [[Egg cycles]] to hatch, with five.

===Origin===
{{Bulbanews|On the Origin of Species: Magikarp}}
Magikarp is based on the {{wp|Asian carp}}, which are easily frightened by disturbances in water and can jump 8–10 feet (2.5–3 m) in the air.

Magikarp's evolution into Gyarados is based on a legend about how carp that leapt over the Dragon Gate would become dragons. Several waterfalls and cataracts in China are believed to be the location of the Dragon Gate. This legend is an allegory of the drive and efforts needed to overcome obstacles. This may have inspired an element in {{g|Snap}} where, after certain steps are taken, a Magikarp will splash its way into a waterfall where it evolves.

====Name origin====
Magikarp's name is a combination of ''magic'' and ''{{wp|carp}}'', possibly mocking the Magikarp as a species, as someone with 'magic' powers is generally thought to be quite powerful, which Magikarp is not (though carp are said to be able to transform into dragons, which is magical in its own way).

Koiking is a combination of 鯉 ''{{wp|koi}}'' (carp) and ''king'', giving its name an ironic slant similar to its English name.

'''Slowpoke''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ヤドン''' ''Yadon'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Psychic}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Slowbro}} starting at [[level]] 37 or {{p|Slowking}} when [[trade]]d holding a [[King's Rock]].

==Biology==
Slowpoke is a pink creature that resembles a cross between a salamander and a hippopotamus. Its vacant eyes never seem focused, and it has curled ears and a rounded, tan muzzle. It has four legs, each of which ends in a single white claw. Its long, tapering tail has a white tip. This tail drips a sweet, sappy substance that is attractive to many species of fish. Slowpoke uses it as a lure for fishing, and it will grow back if cut off. In Alola, its tail is often dried and used in home cooked stews.

Slowpoke has notoriously dim intellect, and often forgets what it was doing. It takes a long time to respond to outside stimuli. For example, it can take up to five seconds to process pain and can take an entire day to notice when its tail has been bitten. Slowpoke is commonly found at the {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon|water's edge.}}

==In the anime==
[[File:Slowpoke anime.png|250px|thumb|left|Slowpoke in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]

===Major appearances===
A Slowpoke appeared in ''[[EP066|The Evolution Solution]]''. Ash and {{ashfr}} asked for the help of [[Professor Westwood V]] to help figure out why Slowpoke only evolved into Slowbro when a {{DL|List of Pokémon temporarily owned by the Team Rocket trio|Shellder}} {{m|clamp}}ed on its tail (a question that was giving {{an|Professor Oak}} a headache). Westwood's Slowpoke evolved when a Shellder that [[Jessie]] caught clamped on to the Dopey Pokémon's tail.

Multiple Slowpoke appeared in ''[[EP142|A Shadow of a Drought]]''. It was revealed that [[Azalea Town]] considers Slowpoke sacred due to legends claiming that Slowpoke's {{m|yawn}}ing can summon rain.

In ''[[EP260|A Crowning Achievement]]'', a group of Slowpoke were trying to reach a [[King's Rock]] to evolve into Slowking in order to help find a better habitat for the group.

==Trivia==
[[File:Bandai Aerodactyl card.jpg|150px|thumb|[[Ken Sugimori]] artwork showing Slowpoke's striped underside]]
* In the [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|Pokémon Red and Blue beta]], Slowpoke was originally known as "Slowmo".
* The Japanese and international {{game3|Gold and Silver|Pokémon Silver|s}} have different sprites for Slowpoke, with the Japanese versions having a fatter and striped belly similar to that which Slowbro and Slowking sport. It is unknown why this was changed. However, its striped underside is still partially visible in all of its Gold and Crystal sprites. This striped belly does not appear to be a true error, as it has been seen in artwork by [[Ken Sugimori]], though it is from [[Generation I]].
* Like {{p|Mantyke}}, Slowpoke evolves when another Pokémon attaches to it; however, this was only seen in the anime. Proximity-based evolution such as requiring Mantyke and {{p|Remoraid}} to be in the same party were not introduced until [[Generation IV]]. Despite the fact that other Pokémon, such as {{p|Feebas}}, have been given additional evolution methods for evolving into the same Pokémon, Shellder still has no bearing on Slowpoke's evolution.
* Slowpoke is the only Pokémon whose multiple evolutions have different total [[EV yield]]s: {{p|Slowbro}} has an EV yield of 2, while {{p|Slowking}} has an EV yield of 3.
* Slowpoke is the only Pokémon whose National Pokédex number is the same as its weight in pounds when rounded.
* Despite numerous Pokédex entries stating its lack of response to a bite on its tail, in [[Pokémon Snap]] it is shown to quickly react to Shellder's bite. This may be due to Shellder's venom stimulating a quicker response, or simply an error or game mechanic to speed the process along.
* The Pokémon Company posted a Slowpoke-themed reggae music video onto their Japanese channel titled ''What's Going on, Yadon?''. The song was later dubbed and posted to the English-language channel under the title of ''[[Slowpoke Song]]''.
* Though the species has appeared repeatedly, no Slowpoke has ever been seen using an attack in the anime.
* Slowpoke has the lowest {{stat|Speed}} of all {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon.

===Origin===
{{bulbanews|On the Origin of Species: Slowpoke, Slowbro and Slowking}}
Due to its marine nature, shape and association with {{wp|shellfish}}, Slowpoke may be based on various species of {{wp|otter}}. It may also be based on a {{wp|giant salamander}} or {{wp|hippopotamus}}.

Its ability to regenerate its own tail if cut off refers to {{wp|autotomy}}.

====Name origin====
Slowpoke is literally ''slowpoke'', a term for someone who is slow. It can be also a combination of ''slow'' and ''poke'' (an abbreviation of ''Pokémon'').

Yadon may be a combination of 宿借り ''yadokari'' ({{wp|hermit crab}}) and ''donkan'' (thickheaded or stolid), whereas 鈍 ''don'' means slow, dull, or stupid. Alternatively, it may also derive from 宿主 ''yadonushi'' ([parasitic] host), based on its relationship with {{p|Shellder}} in its evolutions.

== Continued from my questions ==

Sorrry, I couldn't find the archived talk where I originally posted this. Anyway, why can't the Generation VI sprites just be treated like 120 by 120 still images? [[User:Sumwun|sumwun]] ([[User talk:Sumwun|talk]]) 18:43, 14 August 2016 (UTC)
:The archive is [[User talk:SnorlaxMonster/Archive/8|here]]. You can find it by mousing over "Pokémon" in the template at the top of the page (maybe I should make that clearer).
:Anyway, there are no sprites in Gen VI, only models. Models just don't work the same way, so we decided to use artwork instead. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 00:35, 15 August 2016 (UTC)

== Anime ordering ==

Hi, I saw [[User:SnorlaxMonster/Anime ordering]] and I would suggest that you check out this (not made by me): https://github.com/mal/pokemon/blob/gh-pages/data/anime.md --[[User:PannenkoekenNL|PannenkoekenNL]] ([[User talk:PannenkoekenNL|talk]]) 13:57, 17 August 2016 (UTC)
:We already have the air dates on Bulbapedia. Having a list of them isn't really helpful in constructing that page. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 01:45, 18 August 2016 (UTC)

== Super Mystery Dungeon Move Descriptions ==

I'm planning to begin adding Super Mystery Dungeon's move descriptions to each of the move pages. However, each move has two separate descriptions, one on the move's basic info box, and another one that goes into more detail if needed, and I'd like your opinion (others are welcome too) on which should be used before I start. Most of the time, they're either the same or they managed to fit the most important details fit into the shorter one, but occasionally not; for example, Stockpile's short description doesn't mention its Defense/Sp. Defense raising effect. I've included example images of Stockpile and three others in this [http://imgur.com/a/x3e8U imgur album]–Feint (expanded detail example), Extrasensory (where the 'short' one is actually longer), and Splash (another 'expanded detail' one, but both have a fair amount of fluff). There have been a few descriptions added already (mainly starter moves) and they've all used the short one, but I wanted to make sure I'm doing the most desirable thing before I put the effort into documenting them all. [[User:VioletPumpkin|VioletPumpkin]] ([[User talk:VioletPumpkin|talk]]) 00:57, 18 August 2016 (UTC)
:I don't really know. I haven't played Super Mystery Dungeon or very much of Gates to Infinity, so I haven't really helped with their coverage. In the older Mystery Dungeon games there are two descriptions for items (one very short, one full length), and I had been using the full-length descriptions on item pages. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 01:45, 18 August 2016 (UTC)
::I see. I'm not familiar with the older Mystery Dungeon games, so it's interesting that something similar existed there. I noticed earlier today while working on the item pages that the people who had been editing those pages had been using the short descriptions for SMD, though in most cases those descriptions are very similar. That said, after looking at the entries for old games and comparing them to the SMD ones, it looks like the full-length ones were used for the old games, and more information than I thought was being lost with the shorter ones, so I think I'll go with the full-length ones. Thanks for answering! [[User:VioletPumpkin|VioletPumpkin]] ([[User talk:VioletPumpkin|talk]]) 04:27, 18 August 2016 (UTC)
:::Just to chime in, I've been using the long descriptions for the items I've been editing. At first, I wasn't aware of the short version so while I was editing I was confused about where people had gotten a different item description than me, so I changed them. I only realised later, but I've stuck to the long ones for now, but many of the item descriptions haven't been reverted to the long version. I agree that going for the long one has less risk of losing information.--[[User:Wowy|'''Wowy''']][[User talk:Wowy|'''(토크)''']] 08:44, 18 August 2016 (UTC)

== Struggle and recoil ==

UPC says that Struggle does not have recoil damage from Gen IV onward, and every other effect we have that affects recoil does not affect the self-inflicted HP loss from Struggle. And Struggle's effect contradicts our definition of recoil, as it is not depending on the damage dealt. Struggle's description never says recoil, and the in-game description does not call it recoil. So I could only imagine you mean/checked the message, and that that's just the standard recoil message that says "recoil"? In which case, I guess we should separate Struggle recoil from any other recoil, and just say that Struggle is also said to have recall, even though it... hasn't. [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 10:14, 18 August 2016 (UTC)
:When you use Struggle in battle, it says "''<Pokémon> was damaged by the recoil''", just like every other recoil move. Its recoil damage is calculated in a different way to other recoil moves (except {{m|Shadow End}}) and it's not affected by Abilities that affect other recoil moves, but the game calls it recoil so that's what it is. Struggle is clearly a special-case move, so I think it being an exception to these effects makes perfect sense.
:It's also worth noting that the move descriptions for recoil moves are worded the same way as Struggle's (not that you can ever see Struggle's move description in-game). --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 10:24, 18 August 2016 (UTC)
::Ok, fair point. Well, technically, it isn't the same recoil than the others; so Rock Head's description, for example, is either refering to specifically the non-Struggle "recoil" variant, or does only refer to "some" recoil it can protect from. Does that mean that you think we should do what I just proposed, or do you think we should redefine our recoil definition (and make a special case for Struggle post-GenIII)?
::Worth noting that {{m|Overheat}} and its variations also mention "recoil" in their descriptions. Would you prefer to include that on the page? [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 10:37, 18 August 2016 (UTC)
:::Ability descriptions tend to try to be very concise because they don't have much room (particularly in older games). Struggle is an exception, but Ability descriptions don't tend to note exceptions; the Shadow moves that inflict recoil are also both exceptions to Rock Head. Also, Struggle calculated recoil damage the same way as other recoil moves did in Gen III, but it still wasn't affected by Rock Head.
:::I don't think Overheat is referring to the same concept (notably it doesn't say "recoil ''damage''", just "recoil"). I wouldn't be surprised if the description didn't consistently use the word used for recoil damage across languages (although it might anyway).
:::As for what to do, my suggestion would be to fix the recoil page to correct the definition of recoil. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 10:45, 18 August 2016 (UTC)
::::Descriptions seem to be consistent across languages (checked Japanese and German). I guess the concepts may be related (negative effect of using a move), but they obviously aren't all the same.

== Effect sections etc. ==

This is a bunch of things, but I'll try to keep this short. I would kindly ask you to answer the first question, and I would appreciate if you took some time to answer any of the others, too.
# Do you believe that it would be worth the effort/time to go through all "Effect" sections (or those of moves) in an attempt to standardize them better? (That's not a leading question!)
# I've been creating [[User:Nescientist/Effect section guideline|this]], and I believe that's what it should ''ideally'' be. (It's delibarately non-strict for some aspects, but it still seems incompatible with the current state of Effect sections sometimes.) Eridanus notified me he [[User_talk:SnorlaxMonster/Archive/7#Moves_articles|talked to you]] earlier, so if there's any go-to guy, it might be you. Do you agree?
# What's the current guidelines that are implicitly in effect? (I hope you get what I mean.)
# I intend to edit some Effect sections in the near future (if you're interested and not already aware, you could check Tiddlywinks' talk). So I've been thinking I could try to simultaneously standardize/simplify them better. If the "current guidelines" are not the "ideal" ones, which ones should I use? (I guess this question might be question 1 actually, and sneakily asks for some coordination/assistance. ''If'' there's plans/desire to change "current" to "ideal" for move effects, now might be a good opportunity.)

Additionally, while I'm here, could I ask you to possibly reply [[Bulbapedia talk:Project ItemDex#Item template inclusion|over here]] (you're listed as a contact)? It's not a top priority, and I won't start a lengthy discussion if you just don't know, but I would like to ensure this didn't simply go unnoticed. Thanks!

== Policy question regarding mid-generation egg move parent updates on Pokémon pages ==

Recently, an edit was made on {{p|Alomomola}} that (correctly) added Corsola as a possible parent to pass Endure. Corsola could not learn Endure by level up until B2W2, but by checking Alomomola's Gen V learnset page, I saw that Corsola was not listed as a possible parent there, nor is it listed in the Gen V learnset page of most other Pokémon it could pass its 'new' B2W2 moves to. A similar situation arose with ORAS, where many Pokémon became new potential parents of some moves, but only some pages added them. As you know, the move pages have split columns to better note things like this, but the by breeding sections on the species pages do not. Since I couldn't find information on the correct way to handle this, and because I'd like to help keep things consistent, I'd like to ask if you know what the correct way is (either including the new parents, not including them, or something else)? Thanks! [[User:VioletPumpkin|VioletPumpkin]] ([[User talk:VioletPumpkin|talk]]) 16:57, 16 October 2016 (UTC)

== Moves that power up ==

Could you align the category's wording and the moves that are in that category (one way or the other)? You may or may not be aware, but doubling in damage is not ''exactly'' doubling in power.

:::If the moves are more accurately described as ''increasing in damage'' than ''increasing in power'', then please change that; I don't know which it is.

::::::For Stored Power, Tiddlywinks might have added "Moves with variable power" for a technical reason: it's a trigger that modifies its ''power'' (see [http://www.smogon.com/bw/articles/bw_complete_damage_formula here]). You added the "powers up" because it gets greater than advertised. I've kinda said to Tiddlywinks that I'd prefer to go that label-route; but I also don't like to ''undo'' what others have done without their consent (if it's a debatable thing).
::::::For the category, I'm gonna create it once I can come up with an idea for its name. [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 16:20, 20 October 2016 (UTC)
:::::::Now I recall/know: Tiddlywinks wasn't in error, Gust and Twister apparently technically ''do'' work differently than Earthquake etc. I've reworded their prose.

:::::::And on Stored Power, you were right; if Gust isn't variable power, neither is Stored Power.
:::::::And if it's ok, I would like to wait for the category until I/we get to more/all moves; for now, it's just Earthquake, Magnitude, Surf and Whirlpool, and the complete list of "increases damage (directly)" is on my user page already (well, hopefully). [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 21:38, 20 October 2016 (UTC)
::::::::{{m|Stored Power}} is not (or was not, I'll go back to it in a moment) the only move in {{cat|Moves that have variable power}} with a numeric power value, {{m|Water Spout}} has it as well and would probably be a terrible fit for moves that "power up". IMO, moves that power up should basically be something that's either "X" power (normally) or "X*mult" power (in most cases *2, but the multiplier itself should not really ''vary''). I consider moves like {{m|Rollout}} and {{m|Fury Cutter}} close enough because they "power up" with successive uses, building very steadily/reliably. Stored Power's power '''varies''' based on however many stat stages the target has. You could use Stored Power for the first time and you might get its base power or its base power times 2 or 3 or 43; to me, that's very much "variable". Stored Power does not at all fit an image of a move that's "powering up" IMO. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 22:46, 20 October 2016 (UTC)
:::::::::I forgot, but it seems you (SnorlaxMonster) also wanted to sort out these categories "neatly" so you could use them on {{a|Forewarn}}. If it weren't for {{m|Eruption}} and Water Spout, I'd be happy to agree with you, but it's ''very'' hard to reasonably exclude them from a category for "variable power". I was a little unhappy that it couldn't be that neat myself, but I also consider it more valuable to actually have a place where the moves that can truly have varying power can all be found together. I think if we want a category for only physical/special moves with "—" for power, that should perhaps be something like ''Moves that do not have a fixed power''. On the other hand, though, if the table on Forewarn is going to list all the applicable moves anyway, then linking to a category/categories is probably kind of pointless anyway; you can just describe them as "Moves that have a power of '—'" without actually losing anything vital. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 23:50, 20 October 2016 (UTC)
::::::::::There was another reason (strange factor); had I known, I wouldn't have removed it. Anyway, just focusing on Stored Power, I still feel like "higher than the label says" might be "powered up" (and it uses ''the user's'' stat stages). Unless I'm mistaken, that's the case for all moves that power up, but not for any other move. Unless they're meant to be mutually exclusive, I would suggest we include both.
::::::::::The new power page looks splendid! (No, really!) Unless someone's faster, I would be taking care of Gen VI Abilities and moves within the next days. [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 01:09, 21 October 2016 (UTC)
:::::::::::What I basically meant the "power up" category for was for moves that have a binary condition: multiplier or none. The core of these is very much the things like {{m|Pursuit}}, {{m|Acrobatics}}, {{m|Smelling Salts}}. Rollout and Fury Cutter are a moderate extension therefrom. But Stored Power is very different from these. And "variable power" is basically "the rest".
:::::::::::And it really should be one category or the other. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 01:39, 21 October 2016 (UTC)
::::::::::::I think the only reasonable way to divide moves between "powering up"/"powering down" and "having variable power" is to split based on whether or not the move has a fixed base power. Anything else and we're getting too subjective. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 17:18, 28 October 2016 (UTC)
{{indent}}I think there's ''something'' valuable in that "subjectivity" that that strict division doesn't allow for. (In part, like I said before, the division you want is really better described like "moves without a fixed power". "Variable" inherently ''invites'' subjective judgement. Better to use something less ambiguous if that's what you really want.) {{m|Magnitude}} is a very interesting case: it normally has variable power, but can also receive a 2x modifier, so a strict division between the current categories wouldn't allow both effects to be noted.

I'll propose this instead: Moves that power up should be a category '''only''' for moves ''exactly'' like {{m|Pursuit}} and {{m|Acrobatics}}: they double in power under a specific condition and never go any higher (i.e., no Rollout/Fury Cutter, no Echoed Voice, no Pledges). (Maybe it would be called something else too, if it's going to be so strictly defined.) Then, ''everything'' else goes under "Moves with variable power", and "Moves that power up" is categorized under that as well. The only possible hitch here is, it may be weird if Magnitude is categorized both as having "variable power" and "powering up", if powering up is itself a subclass of variable power. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 17:49, 28 October 2016 (UTC)
:Wouldn't a category with Pursuit but without the Pledges be pointless?
:I think we only really need the {{tt|categories|I think we don't actually have to have multiple ones, but we should anyway}} for the [[power]] page. In my opinion, "Power up" should be meant to be for those that have a "standard" case but can power up, "variable"/"{{tt|varying|probably better, taken from Magnitude description — it's weird to have "Moves that have variable power" listed under "Variable-power moves"}}" (an unrelated category) for those that do not. How to define what a standard case is in an objective manner is tricky (on the other hand, we do not ''need'' to define that strictly, I guess).
:In my mind, moves with multiple standard cases ({{m|Magnitude}}, {{m|Present}}) and those with a continuous scale ({{m|Eruption}}, {{m|Reversal}}, {{m|Crush Grip}}) are "varying" (that's some kind of definition already, I guess). {{m|Rollout}} and {{m|Magnitude}} should be in both. For {{m|Punishment}}, {{m|Spit Up}} and {{m|Stored Power}}, I don't really care — they could be in either, or both.

== New pages notability ==

I was wondering, imagine some very abstract Bulbapedia editor is dreaming of (high-quality) mainspace articles on subjects such as
* Nebby,
* Aura (game mechanic, the UB and Totem thing),
* Confusion (status condition; just imagine there'd be a whole lotta details),
* Affection (may be a possibility to intersect Amie and Refresh),
* Template:ZMoveInfobox (in a similar vein to {{de|Perfektes Pika-Projektil|how the German wiki handles that}}),
* Target,
* anything, in general/by extension,
and that they're also able and willing to provide at least one of that, but they'd like to avoid putting in work for articles that turn out to be either unnotable or userspace endlessly, what would they be supposed to do? Asking for a friend, of course. [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 12:29, 17 December 2016 (UTC)
:Normally, if there's a topic of questionably notability, I like to build it in the userspace to establish notability (although I do have a lot of pages that are intended for mainspace but have sat in my userspace for ages). If you can build a detailed page in the userspace that's not just full of fluff and within scope (i.e. related to Pokémon), it's unlikely to get rejected. (Fun fact: Confusion is on a list of page ideas on a post-it note that has sat next to my desktop approximately since [[Talk:Status condition#Each major status ailment in its own article?|we gave status conditions their own pages back in 2010/2011]].) If you want to make sure your userspace page you think should be mainspaced doesn't get forgotten, it's a good idea to poke a staff member (feel free to come to me with this kind of thing, although depending on the topic you might be more successful by asking the appropriate Editorial Board member). --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 12:45, 17 December 2016 (UTC)
::Thanks. While I do understand that, for Aura for example, I'm not 100% sure it is notable myself. That's a case where someone should do research quite a bit, which is a potential waste of time. And for others one might not be able to judge how notable it ''turns out to be'' beforehand. And even if ''I'' think it turned out to be notable, is there some way I can ensure the EB thinks the same and it wasn't all a waste of time (I'm likely biased if I invested time and effort)?
::So, in case of doubt, I can ask an appropriate staff member beforehand, on a case by case basis, and that staff member then might be able to guarantee that, if the article is of decent quality, it ''will'' get mainspaced?
::Can you tell me how notable/relevant/sensible you think the things I've listed are? (For me to maybe scratch them off my list of "should be created... eventually".)
::Status conditions are what I want to do next, so once I've started a userpage on confusion, please be my guest. [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 13:19, 17 December 2016 (UTC)
:::Normally, if a page requires a lot of research but isn't notable, then the information would simply be placed on other pages, so it wouldn't be entirely a waste.
:::You can certainly ask beforehand, but if they're unsure, what's typically going to happen is the staff member will tell you to create a draft to show how such a page could look. For example, I really don't see what content you could even have on an "Aura" page, so right now I don't think it's notable, but if you went and did a lot of research and actually made a page of a decent length, you could convince me it is.
:::For my personal opinions on your list:
:::*Nebby: would certainly be notable
:::*Aura: Convince me there is actually content that would be on this page. I can imagine a list of the auras each Totem Pokémon/Ultra Beast has, but I don't really know what else there would be.
:::*Confusion: As I mentioned earlier, I certainly think there's enough information there for a page.
:::*Affection: I was the one who [[Talk:Pokémon-Amie#Affection split|nominated the split]] last year, but since it only applied to Amie it didn't happen. Now that it's some shared stat between Amie and Refresh I think there is more of an argument, but the same could be said about of lot of the mechanics of both minigames.
:::*Template:ZMoveInfobox: I think Z-Moves are probably fine using the same infobox as other moves for now.
:::*Target: Assuming this refers to attack targets, I think a page detailing the game mechanics of targeting would be interesting, although I believe the official term for possible targets is "range" whereas "target" is specifically the Pokémon chosen. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 13:34, 17 December 2016 (UTC)
::::Thanks!
::::*For Aura, I think there wouldn't be a lot information, but we do seem to have independent articles for virtually all other {{cat|game mechanics}} (as far as I know, at least). I'm not trying to convice you, though (and I'm not willing to do research atm), but I had imagined it ''might'' (ideally) be a nice page being linked to.
::::*For Z-Moves, I don't like how messy the type-specific Z-Moves' templates look like, with half the template basically just confusing readers, screaming "READ THE TEXT!" instead of helping.
::::*For target/range, I'd imagined that page to be about both what you select '''and''' what you actually hit/affect, and to differentiate/explain a little.

There's also stuff like {{a|Leaf Guard}} to consider, which prevent the Pokémon becoming drowsy due to Yawn. Despite that concern, I don't really have an alternative name beyond "status".

== Increased priority ==

I thought I'd check this with you before I edit multiple pages all of which you might want to edit afterwards. I'd like to improve the priority moves' wording, they seem to be pretty Gen I centric, and have likely carried over to where they don't fit. Assuming we want to be this specific at individual move pages (which is not what I'd personally be going for), I suggest:
Quick Attack inflicts damage, and is an increased [[priority]] move. If no other Pokémon uses an increased priority move during the turn Quick Attack is used, Quick Attack will go first regardless of the user's {{stat|Speed}}. If multiple Pokémon use a move with an increased priority of +1 during the same turn, their move order will be determined normally.
I have no idea what that other paragraph with sleep and freeze is supposed to say. Do you know? (I'm inclined to believe it's only for Gen I, and also not important?) [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 13:37, 26 December 2016 (UTC)
:I think most of the explanation can be left on the priority page. Maybe even just:
Quick Attack inflicts damage. It has a [[priority]] of +1, so is used before all moves that do not have increased priority.
:I remember reading about that sleep/freeze thing for Gen I recently, actually. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pvk_8yTyscU Here's a video explaining it.] From Gen II onward, you can actually select moves while asleep/frozen, so you move at the priority of the selected move rather than the last selected move. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 13:56, 26 December 2016 (UTC)
::Yes, great, that's what I'd personally be going for; so that's what I'll do then. I'll remove virtually everything but a link to priority, and that extra paragraph at Quick Attack. The sleep/freeze thing was what I had in mind, but because that was on all priority moves (not just Quick Attack), I thought I might've missed something. Thank you!

[http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Wela_Volcano_Park&diff=2572703&oldid=2572700]

Can you direct me to the guideline where ''The italics is supposed to be the translation of the Japanese name'' is laid out? As I mentioned in my edit summary, I have been unable to find it. [[BP:MOS]] doesn't appear to say anything like that.

''The Hepburn romanization is not particularly useful for anyone'' also doesn't appear to be mentioned there, and as far as I can tell it simply is not true. This is an English-language wiki that does not appear to assume Japanese literacy on the part of its readers, so the Japanese text without a romanization is illegible to our readers and therefore practically useless (and depending on encoding might not even display properly, although I have never had this problem myself). There's actually a control for this -- why do we give the HP and RR for the Chinese and Korean names, respectively, at the bottom of the article? The only difference is that those languages aren't relevant to the topic except as random trivia.

:Notice that on my page, the headers only group environments that have the same effects (other than terrain effects, but they're special). That was a very deliberate choice. On yours, they have several different effects in one.
:BTW, I notice you say that Gen VII is coming soon. I've actually got a spreadsheet detailing the whole game, but haven't put it on Bulbapedia yet (and it's missing Secret Power for everything but Ultra Space, since the only way to use it right now is via Metronome, as well as Burmy). The main reason I haven't put it up yet is due to not playing the post-game yet.

If the official Pokémon website isn't a reliable, accurate source of information, then what is? Bulbapedia is a useful resource but when the official Pokémon site directly contradicts it, the Official Pokémon site is probably the more reliable source in any given case, so I'm going to place my edit back until such a time you can link to a source about the disputed detail that proves the information on the official Pokémon website is incorrect, because there was no source given about the detail prior to my edit.

ForceFire said that a main reason is "lack of game or anime evidence". When I contacted ForceFire about SS036, which I believe has evidence proving Zygarde is indeed part of the trio, he said "I have an extremely limited understanding of the Japanese language and am not going to follow what fansubs say, since they usually take liberties. But I will bring it up with the other staff members and we will discuss it". (This was when there was no English dub.) Now that there is an English dub, I tried contacting him two or three days ago, and he hasn't responded. Could you give some feedback?"

== The Tapu ==

A few things about the Tapu/Guardian Deities/Land Spirits:

1. We really should come up with a consensus on whether we move Guardian Deities to Tapu or not. Personally, I think we should, because "Tapu" is used frequently in game AND is used frequently by the fans.

2. We should add the Tapu (and the UBs and Type:Null/Silvally, for the matter) to the Legendary and Mythical Pokémon template. We know that all of those Pokémon are either Legendary or Mythical, and the template does not differentiate between the two.

What do you think? --[[User:Celadonkey|Celad]][[User_talk:Celadonkey|onkey]] 14:17, 10 February 2017 (UTC)

== Regarding Present ==

Just a few thoughts and questions. First, considering that the behavior of healing is different between GS, C, and Stad2, shouldn't that be noted or am I misunderstanding the wording that is being used? Secondly, I figured that it would be better to start with how Present works in GS and then go to C and Stad2. May I ask why that is incorrect? (Additionally, there is now duplicated text in the Generation II section, but what should be changed could depend on the answer to my first question.) --[[User:Super goku|Super goku]] ([[User talk:Super goku|talk]]) 08:25, 15 February 2017 (UTC)
:The page does start with how it works in Gold and Silver now; you changed it so a key part of the Gold and Silver functionality was labelled as exclusive to Crystal. Present can still heal the target in Gold and Silver (as is obvious due to the message given when the target's HP is full), but if it damages the target it uses that unusual damage formula in Gold and Silver only. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 12:20, 15 February 2017 (UTC)

== Follow up ==

I spoke to an admin a couple of months ago regarding a situation with user Pikablu and I was instructed to talk it out with the user, and I did so, but I don't believe what he is saying and my suspicions keep rising even after I talked with him. I keep seeing him undo posts of mine, whether it is by editing the page or actually pressing the undo button, when they shouldn't have been done and several minutes ago, I noticed that he added back on SM015 that Professor Kukui's Rockruff is revealed to know Bite and learns Rock Throw, even know I've already said in one of the edits that he never owned Rockruff and that we don't even know if it knows Bite or not. Could you please look into this. I forget what the other example were back then, but I can assure you, they were edits that were done, even though they were not meant to be there, edits that added wrong or speculative information.

May I ask for a staff opinion from you, please? Tiddlywinks has asked me to go to someone higher ranked than Force Fire.

Tiddlywinks and Force Fire have been aggressively retaining usage of the incorrect "comprised of." I have numerous sources ([http://grammarist.com/usage/compose-comprise/ 1] [http://www.quickanddirtytips.com/education/grammar/comprise-versus-compose 2] [http://www.businesswritingblog.com/business_writing/2015/01/comprised-of-vs-composed-of-a-test.html 3] for starters, and plenty more can be found with a quick Google search) stating that despite its prevalence, such usage is grammatically wrong. They have not produced even a single source in favor of their argument that it's acceptable. I would be willing to drop this fight if even a single such source is presented, but Tiddlywinks is refusing to do so and unilaterally saying that on this matter, their unresearched ''opinion'' trumps correctness.

== Template ==

Hello SnorlaxMonster!

I see you've been updating templates and I was wondering if you were going to update template:catalogue? I raised a few issues about it a year ago and I don't know much about templates to fix the issue myself. I've copied-pasted what I wrote on the discussion page for [[List of Pokémon Global Link promotions/Dream World]] here:
* The links to the Pokémon Doll catalogue and Plain catalogue actually lead to another redirect. So I suggest the template should be changed to allow for a direct link.
* (This is not really a template issue, but I should raise the issue before changing it) Many of the dolls are grouped according to how they were released in the English Global Link, such as Reshiram, Zekrom and Keldeo, as well as Meloetta, Black Kyurem and White Kyurem. However, many of the Japanese and Korean releases had them released differently. For example, in Japan, while Reshiram and Zekrom were distributed together, Keldeo was actually given out with Meloetta, with Black and White Kyurem coming together in another distribution. In Korea, Reshiram and Zekrom actually came with Pikachu not Keldeo, while Meloetta, Keldeo, Black and White Kyurem all came together. So my suggestion would be split the groups into Meloetta, Keldeo, Reshira & Zekrom, and Black Kyurem & White Kyurem.

== Page suggestion: a list of city slogans ==

Hey there! I had an idea earlier today for a page that collects all the city slogans so readers can browse them all in one place, instead of having to click on every city's page to see them one by one. I've started a mockup at [[User:Pumpkinking0192/List of city slogans]] and [[User:Pumpkinking0192/Template:CitySlogan]], but it's only filled out enough to be a proof of concept.

I think it's a good idea, but if there's not going to be any staff interest in mainspacing such a page, then I'd rather abandon it now instead of spending an hour or two filling it out. So before I expend that effort, I'd like to ask: do you think it's a good idea? Are the staff likely to be willing to mainspace this concept, or something like it, once it's eventually complete? Are there any structural changes that you want to suggest, especially those that would be easier to make now rather than after all the data's collected? Thanks for your input!

However, no other city articles have this, and in fact in the past couple of months I had removed such a section from a couple of Alola city articles, thinking the precedent was that it should be excluded from city articles and put on [[Pokémon world in relation to the real world]], but in fact it appears there is no consistent precedent.

::::With all due respect, I understand your reasoning, but I'd rather wait and see whether I get a definite yes or no from the EB first, for three reasons:
::::1) That was a lot of work to compile, and I'm not exactly eager to immediately turn around and do a lot more work, especially after I specifically asked SM about "structural changes ... that would be easier to make now rather than after all the data's collected". If the EB asks it, sure, I'll do it, but in the meantime...
::::2) In your suggested layout, certain cities (Azalea most egregiously, but most Kanto/Johto cities tbh) would stretch the table horizontally so far that the table would be considerably wider than most readers' screen resolutions, even on desktops/laptops. Our wiki already has a plethora of tables that are too wide to read easily on mobile; I'd strongly prefer to avoid spreading that problem to desktop view.
::::3) In a perfect hypothetical future, I would love to see the page expanded with all the slogans in every language that the games have been officially released in. That would require the layout I've done (or something like it), with my initial "In other languages" section restored. For now, though, I recognize that's just a pipe dream.

==Pseudo-legendaries==

About the description under "Other", Kommo-o doesn't have a type immunity under any circumstances but rather is immune to specific moves(e.g. sound-based moves).

::Looking back on my previous message, I saw that I was a bit unclear in what I was trying to say. So can the fact that says that Kommo-o has a type immunity be removed?

::::This is because Goodra may only have an immunity to grass if the ability is Sap Sipper while for Kommo-o, it's type combination and ability does not allow it to have a type immunity.

== Lillie's quotes ==

Hi. I'm currently doing Lillie's quotes. I saw what happened with Looker having a separate Quote article. I'm wondering if Lillie should be the same too, because I'm not sure the requirements for a separate Quote article. Whether if it's due to being too long, or is it because Looker appears in many different generations of games. If it's due to the length, I think Lillie's quotes are too long to incorporate into her article.

== A couple things I wanted ask you about ==

Originally, I was going to ask an admin about only one thing, but while going through the thought process of how to put it, another question came into my mind as well. So, here we go: 
1) A short while ago, I went through different Pokémon character articles to see if there were any capture locations I could pinpoint more accurately than what was already given. In most of the few cases I ran into this, that was pretty easy. But with [[Ash's Gible]] I wasn't 100% sure. Its capture location had apparently been listed as just "Sinnoh" since the article was created, and after some thought, I changed it to "Around {{rt|222|Sinnoh}}". However, since the group was on their way from Mt. Coronet to Sunyshore, which isn't exactly a straight route, I wasn't able to shake off the feeling that it wasn't completely accurate (hence the "around" part). And whenever I'm in doubt, I look for reassurance from someone else. So, what do you think? Is it accurate enough now, or should it be changed? 
2) Speaking of locations, my second question can also be seen as a request. I wondered if a Pokémon was obtained as an Egg, could it be OK to list the location where the Egg was obtained besides just the location where it hatched? Just a thought, but I hope you'll at least consider it. 
Yours truly, [[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 07:17, 23 April 2017 (UTC).
:1) I think it would be better not to make assumptions about locations that are not explicitly named. There are a lot of anime-exclusive locations. Maybe it would be better just to write "Between Mt. Coronet and Sunnyshore City"?
:2) I can see value in having the Egg obtain location in the infobox. For now, it would at least be a good idea to make sure it is explicitly stated in the article's prose (I noticed that this was not the case for [[Ash's Donphan]]). --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 08:48, 23 April 2017 (UTC)
::1) Yup. Thought as much. I'll give it some thought and change it (as a side note, I changed [[May's Munchlax]]'s capture location from just "Hoenn" to "An island between Pacifidlog and Slateport" since they were traveling between those two settlements at the time, but I didn't want to make assumptions about which one of the several routes present there they were on at the time).
::2) I'm glad to hear you support that idea. How soon do you think it can be put into proper use? --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 05:20, 24 April 2017 (UTC)
:::Not meaning to be pushy, but do you have answer to my question? Also, I changed Gible's capture location to "Between Route 210 and Daybreak Town", since the group was traveling from [[Wilma]]'s place to Daybreak Town at the time. I think it's accurate enough. Do you agree? --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 06:25, 30 April 2017 (UTC)
::::1) Was it ever stated in the anime that Wilma lives on Route 210? Couldn't you instead put something like "Near Wilma's house"?
::::2) I've added the <code>eggmet</code> parameter to the infobox, and put it into use on [[Ash's Donphan]] as an example. Feel free to put it into widespread use. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 04:08, 2 May 2017 (UTC)
:::::1) A lot of routes don't get mentioned by name in the anime, but if we have two in-game locations and an episode takes place in between them, it's pretty safe to say that it takes place on the route between them. I just figured out that since Wilma's house is located east of Mt. Coronet, the direction Ash and co. were traveling at the time, I figured that they were traveling between its location on 210 and their next destination, Daybreak Town. If this doesn't convince you, I can change it.
:::::2) Thanks. I've already put it into good use. Also, while these are rare cases, I've seen a couple of other things that I feel could be improved as well. First: Some Pokémon hatched in a different location than where they were caught, most notably perhaps [[Ash's Greninja]], whose hatching location can only be pointed to somewhere in [[Kalos]], while its capture location can be accurately be pinpointed at [[Lumiose City]]. Is this notable enough to warrant a template edit so that the capture location can also be added for a Pokémon hatched from an Egg in case it's not the same as the hatching location, or can it be defined more accurately? Second: In the case of Fossil Pokémon, could there be a part in the template that reads when and where the Fossil was obtained and when it was revived, similar to how Eggs are obtained and hatched? --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 13:29, 2 May 2017 (UTC)
::::::What do you think? Do you think these suggestions are notable enough to be put into use? --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 09:43, 5 May 2017 (UTC)
:::::::1) You're better off asking Pokemaster97 about this. I'm not entirely happy just assuming routes without being explicitly referred to as such (or having a sign with a route number on it show up in the episode), but I can see your point about it being obvious that that is the intent.
:::::::2a) My intent with the <code>eggmet</code> parameter was for when a Trainer obtains the Egg. If it hatched from an Egg in the wild, it doesn't make sense to consider when and where the Egg was "obtained" because it never was (including for the episode that the Egg is obtained in). Additionally, I think it would be a good idea to have separate "Hatched at" and "Caught at" locations usable for Pokémon that hatched from Eggs in the wild.
:::::::2b) Are there actually any anime fossil Pokémon that have their own pages such that this functionality would be useful? I don't remember any owned by major characters. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 10:02, 5 May 2017 (UTC)
::::::::1) Thanks for the hint. I'll contact him about the subject.
::::::::2a) Separate hatching and capture locations were pretty much what I was going after. Thanks for agreeing.
::::::::2b) I can think of [[Roark's Rampardos]] and [[Aero|Red's Aero]]. With the latter, the debut appearance currently listed there is the round where the fossil was obtained, and the resurrection round is listed under the "evolved in" segment of the template, which seems inaccurate in my opinion. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 10:53, 5 May 2017 (UTC)

== Parting Shot ==

Excuse me, but could you possibly revisit it? I don't mean the parts where I just copied U-Turn (oops), but the dependencies: I now realize it may be supposed to say that the user will switch even if the target has Clear Body, is at -6 etc.?? I had removed that part because it sounded like the user also switches when the move misses, which is not the case (and I can't seem to find a nice way to make that distinction, but maybe you could make it clearer). Also, I removed the "even if it cannot switch out" part because a) U-Turn doesn't have it, b) the sentence is really awkward then (grammatically and information-presentation-wise), and c) imo it's clear anyway.

== Sky Attack ==

Are you sure about the contents of [[Special:Diff/2190530|this edit]], specifically that the high crit ratio started in Gen V (not Gen III)? It doesn't seem to have a high critical hit ratio in Gens I+II, but the descriptions also don't say that. (Fun fact: Apparently has an explicit 0% flinch chance in Gen II.) UPC, Showdown and the in-game descriptions contradict Gen V. But you could have more info, and I can't access [http://www.smogon.com/forums/showthread.php?t=26660&highlight=rock&page=4 this thread] from the edit history (but I imagine it could just confirm no increased ratio in Gen I or II). And in case there's nothing substantial: can we change it? [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 16:40, 2 May 2017 (UTC)

:::Oh, Flinch ≠ Crit? Got it!
:::If you think that confirms it, could you reference it somehow?
:::But maybe let me say: I'm not entirely convinced by that (thx for the pastebin btw); I wouldn't rule out that it was just bad luck. They don't usually outright lie; they're Japanese! (I also do see a slim chance that they just screwed it up in Gen IV, but that it used to work in Gen III.)
:::Explanation: I believe in Gen III, high critical hit ratio also increases the rate from 1/16 to 1/8 (unlike what we currently say; see [http://upcarchive.playker.info/0/upokecenter/content/pokemon-ruby-version-sapphire-version-and-emerald-version-critical-hit-method.html UPC]). Assuming the first test was in Gen III (do you have context?), if there was an 1/16 CH chance, there is a 12.9% chance to observe 8/108 CHs; but there is also a 3.3% chance to observe that if there was a 1/8 crit chance (per multinomial distributions, and also assuming I did the math correctly). In other words, there is a chance that this is misinterpreted bad luck. For the smaller DP sample, bad luck appears to be a little bit less likely (21.1% vs. 3.3%). (I'm not sure how to extract the exact chance/likelihood/whatever that it's a 1/8 CH chance rather than the assumed 1/16, but I think it wouldn't be enough ''for me'' to overrule the description, and to say it is wrong). [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 17:01, 5 May 2017 (UTC)
::::Yes, from the context it is clear that the first test is in Gen III.
::::That's interesting point about the probability of it being a high critical hit ratio move still not being vanishingly small, although my suggestion would be to try testing it yourself if you're still not convinced. To me, it seems entirely feasible that Game Freak intended to make Sky Attack a high critical hit ratio move, but because it's a two-turn move something about that didn't work (e.g. it only has a high critical hit ratio on the turn it is initially used rather than the turn it hits, so Power Herb might give different results), then when they rebuilt the game engine in Gen V the bug didn't get programmed in again. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 04:15, 6 May 2017 (UTC)
:::::Hm, I think this is about whether you're (still?) convinced. I'm not convinced either way, but as I said, I wouldn't have said "they're wrong, I know better". On the other hand, maybe they ''are'' wrong.
:::::I thought about that, too, but then what about {{m|Razor Wind}}? [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 09:13, 6 May 2017 (UTC)
::::::Ok, after discussing some of it with friends, I'm almost sure the Smogon guys just unterestimated probabilities. I believe I found out how to "extract" properly, and that their Gen III observations are 20.5% likely to stem from a 1/16 CH ratio (and 79.5% from a 1/8 one; assuming it needs to be one of them), while the Gen IV observations are 13.6% likely (in contrast to 86.4%). That's not really much.
::::::In addition, I tested in Generation III (I'm not easily able to in Gen IV). Out of 50 hits, 9 were critical hits. Despite being a small sample, my apparent "luck" boosts the same measure to 96.8% likely 1/8 chance (and only 3.2% 1/16).
::::::That's not compelling evidence for me that UPC is correct with everything (in particular, whether high CH chance moves are only boosted by 1 stage!), but it is enough for me to seriously doubt the "No increased CH ratio, wrong description" thesis.

It doesn't use the same handler than the other scripted battles (it calls F:598D). I'm fine with not mentioning it on the Shiny Pokémon page though. --[[User:Froggy25|Froggy25]] ([[User talk:Froggy25|talk]]) 07:53, 7 May 2017 (UTC)
:My point was that it was a special battle, not necessarily that it was the same type of special battle. It's one of several special battles that "Cannot flee" applies to, so how it's technically implemented is irrelevant to the reader (unless there's some particular distinction other than having fixed IVs that you want to emphasize). --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 08:39, 7 May 2017 (UTC)

== Generation II AI misses ==

I've repeatedly postponed mainspacing this, hoping for some bright idea: In Generation II, battle mechanics are biased. [https://github.com/pret/pokecrystal/blob/master/battle/effect_commands.asm#L5850 Stat-lowering], [https://github.com/pret/pokecrystal/blob/master/battle/effect_commands.asm#L5047 sleep-inducing], [https://github.com/pret/pokecrystal/blob/master/battle/effect_commands.asm#L7733 paralyzing] and [https://github.com/pret/pokecrystal/blob/master/battle/effect_commands.asm#L5147 poisoning] status moves used by AI opponents have a 1/4 of failing, before applying accuracy tests (except in the Battle Tower or after Lock-On/Mind-Reader). This seems to also affect stat-lowering effects of damaging moves, whose real chance of activating their effects should be 1/4 lower for opponents, except for Mud-Slap and Octazooka. So, for example, opponents' {{m|Growl}} can miss at neutral accuracy/evasion levels (which I've re-confirmed on a Silver cartridge), but yours can't; your {{m|Aurora Beam}} should have a 10% of lowering their Atk, but theirs has a 7.5% chance of lowering yours.

That's problematic enough, but my real problem is: Where does this belong? I don't have anything I'm 100% comfortable with: I can't seem to find a way to have it fit smoothly anywhere, but it's important enough that it should probably be on multiple pages, somehow. So, my bright idea is to ask for bright ideas. Do you have any? [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 22:37, 1 June 2017 (UTC)
:Well, we could certainly create a {{redlink|Miss}} article and include them there. Otherwise, I don't really have any good ideas.

::That'd be a good place for it, yes. Have you also considered a more general article on hitting, that would include things like accuracy tests (and their bypass), "miss", "fail", "ineffective", "protection", and "lack of target"? I guess all but "ineffective" could even redirect there, and we could even try to include something on additional effects, possibly even target/range. The title isn't as straightforward (maybe the lack of a good title is the main counterargument), but I guess a more general page could be more useful!? (I don't really like our current [[accuracy]] article, especially if we relocate the Gen I glitch, so maybe we should keep in mind to also improve it along the way!?)

== I'm willing to put a Gen VII Shiny Photo on the [[Shiny Pokémon]] Page! ==

Hi, SnorlaxMonster, I'm new to Bulbapedia but even knowing that newbies get very little access to doing anything on Bulbapedia, I want to get permisson to put an image on the [[Shiny Pokemon]] Page! But not just any image. Just like the Generation [[Generation II|2]], [[Generation III|3]], [[Generation IV|4]], and [[Generation V|5]] images that look like GIFs, I recently made a Generation [[Generation VII|Generation 7]] GIF that I want to get permission to do.

It even says this on the page:
<code><nowiki>{{incomplete|needs=info and images for Generation VII}}</nowiki></code>

Since it's been several months without a Generation VII Image and after the [[Generation VI]] image is not a GIF, I am willing to bring back the GIF Photos with [[Generation VII]]!

Would it be okay if I uploaded the [[Shiny Pokémon]] [[Generation VII]] Sparkling Photo?

That's when I used Premiere Pro to edit out everything in the recording EXCEPT for the [[Shiny]] Part. Then I took advantage of Premiere Pro's "Export" setting to convert the video to a GIF File! Then I used an online website to make it a real GIF.

== Guidance ==

Hey, so I found you via recent changes as a big time user, so you're probably my best bet to answer a question. I'm a long-time Pokemon fan, Bulbapedia reader, and Wiki contributor; but, with regards to that latter point, I've never edited on this particular wiki. I've noticed some things I can improve here, but I can't. My ideas require an additional MediaWiki extension. What I mostly need to know is the best possible place to post a fully fleshed-out proposal. I think my ideas will improve on every aspect of how things operate. My phrasing here was kind of vague, so if you require more info about my ideas, I'd be happy to elaborate a little.

As I said, I'm not new to wiki editing in general. I do know the difficulties of being in a new community though.

== 3DS image uploads and Miiverse ==

I am interested in uploading images from Rumble World and Super Mystery Dungeon, mainly of moves and status conditions, but also anything else that might need an image from those games. However, since I lack 3DS capture capability, I would first have to upload the images to Miiverse, then save them from there and upload them to the archives.

== Category update problem ==

As you're the first person I tend to think about when I encounter a problem in Bulbapedia (sorry about that, BTW), I decided to ask you if you know anything about this thing. For some reason, about a month ago, Bulbapedia started acting weird for me for a short time (like logging me out whenever I left the site etc.), after which 1) all links that I had used on Bulbapedia turned from "used" to "unused", and, more importantly, 2) categories started refusing to update. Now whenever a page is added to a category, or even when a category is created with a page already listed in that category, the page does not show up in that category. Sorry if this sounds like rambling, but do you know about anything that could've caused this? Oh, and in case this subject is talked about at the Bulbagarden forums, just a heads-up: I don't use that. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 11:34, 11 September 2017 (UTC)

:IMO, Berry pages should be redesigned to have a consistent style to the new individual item pages (my example: [[User:SnorlaxMonster/ItemInfobox/Razz Berry]]). However, I haven't made any effort to push this design, because we're still working on splitting the other items right now. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 08:37, 21 September 2017 (UTC)
::Fair enough. Anyway, I guess you may want to remove the roundy classes from the Generation VI description. (Though you may want to wait for me to add the missing descriptions.) Also, the if for the Generation V description queries Generation IV's; luckily, it doesn't make a difference, but you may want to change it regardless.
::That's a good idea, I'll be waiting.
::While I'm here, what items are about to be split? Do you have a list of (core series) items that should not get an article? And if not, when editing, should I re-link only those items that happen to already have their article (like I currently do), all of them, or those I believe will/should be given their article? Thanks. [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 15:12, 21 September 2017 (UTC)
:::The goal is the ultimately split every item. I believe the Data Cards are not planned to have their own articles though, and items like Gram 1-3 would share a page. Wonder Launcher items are getting their own pages hasn't been discussed. There hasn't been a decision about how to deal with Poké Ball yet (due to the specific item and overall class sharing a name), so that's currently on hold. TMs and HMs are fine how they are for now and won't be getting the new item template.
:::Regarding relinking, I've been linking directly to the item names [[Special:Diff/2190548|for years]] ([[Special:Diff/1298372|originally even replacing section links with plain links]]), although another user would usually change them to section links after my edits. I don't see any point in not relinking pages that will need to be in the near future, so when I edit pages I have been turning all item links into plain links (except <code><nowiki>{{ball|Poké}}</nowiki></code>, <code><nowiki>{{DL|Potion|Potion}}</nowiki></code>, and <code><nowiki>{{DL|Revive|Revive}}</nowiki></code>) even when the items don't have individual pages yet. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 16:22, 21 September 2017 (UTC)
::::Thanks. That seems reasonable, I think I'll adopt that, then. I've very recently thought about a related issue, and with the items split, I think I might try to rid myself of the habit of ''always'' using direct links. (My thought experiment has me use direct links for things like <code><nowiki>[[super-effective]]</nowiki></code> and <code><nowiki>[[Masked Royal]]</nowiki></code>, even though they might never be non-redirects.)
::::Also, I think I'm done with Berries for now, btw. [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 17:16, 21 September 2017 (UTC)
:::::Wikipedia has {{wp|WP:NOTBROKEN|a policy}} about linking to redirects not being a problem, particularly when they indicate possible future articles. However, that policy doesn't apply here, and it shouldn't necessarily be applied. On Bulbapedia, the policy is typically to avoid redirects (although the [[List of items by index number]] pages have been violating that for years, and the Pokédex entry template does too for convenience).

::::::Trying to avoid a misunderstanding: I didn't mean to say I'll go around and enforce some redirect links here and there. I meant to say I'd use them (i.e., not rule them out) when editing; for example, when moving the effectiveness stuff from [[damage]] to [[type]], I'd relink <code><nowiki>{{DL|Damage|super effective}}</nowiki></code> to <code><nowiki>[[super effective]]</nowiki></code> (rather than <code><nowiki>{{DL|Type|super effective}}</nowiki></code> or similar).

:Yes, those examples would be correct, although there hasn't really been any specific discussion on Colo/XD-exclusive items. Unobtainable items probably won't, although the [[Teru-sama]] is going to keep the page it already has. For key items, the plain page name is often a disambig and not a redirect (e.g. [[S.S.

::You're suggesting to wait with replacing {{template|key}}, in general, right? Okay.

== Game-exclusive Template ==

Hi. I have completed the Game-exclusive template (Template:Vex) for Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon (ready to press save). However, you want me to create in my own userspace first or don't create at all? Or are we going to update "Template:Vex7" to include USUM or a separate template under "Template:Vexusum"?

== A totally random thing that I need someone's help for ==

As I've noticed that Bulbapedia seems to have allowed adding the actual type of type-changing moves (like {{m|Hidden Power}} or {{m|Multi-Attack}}), as opposed to them just being listed as {{type|Normal}} moves, into in-game moveset templates, I've been in the process of adding those missing types wherever I can. Unfortunately, since Hidden Power is a rather common move in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], a game I do not own, I've been restricted into using YouTube videos while figuring them out, and those videos are a rather limited resource. They've only helped me in figuring out the type of a handful of them, but many still remain unsolved. Which brings me to my point: is there any way of figuring these out? Since you're my go-to guy when it comes to problems I face in Bulbapedia (an honest apology if that bothers you, BTW), I though about asking this from you. So, do you or anybody else you might think of have a way of figuring this out? Thank you for reading. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 09:42, 28 September 2017 (UTC)
:I imagine you could check the game data of Stadium 2 to find out, but I don't really have the ability to do that. The easier alternative would just be to get someone who does have the game to check, rather than relying on YouTube videos. I don't have the game, but you could check the category {{cat|Pokémon Stadium 2 players}} and ask an active user there. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 09:47, 28 September 2017 (UTC)
::I thought about that possibility, too. I agree that checking the game's code would be the easiest way of find this stuff out. However, I'm not sure which Stadium 2 players actually know how to dig into the game's coding, so I guess "manual checking" is the best alternative.

::::Yeah, I understood that as well. I basically meant to say that checking the code can be a bit hard for your average player, so manual checking can be much easier. I've just noticed that some Pokémon seem really reluctant to use Hidden Power, either because the AI is being a bit dumb, or the type of the move is extremely situational. Either way, yeah.

Hello.

:I believe [http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/ultra/en-us/gallery-detail-3.html the context] makes it clear that "as well" means "in addition to its regular form".

== Ability Capsule and Category:Items ==

While I am not one to argue with Admins or otherwise authority, stating that Category:Items is used for only items in the Item pocket is 100% false. Category:Items currently (and as far as I am aware has always) contained subcategoried for Key Items, Berries, and Medicine, and contains unlistable number of items that are not just "Item Pouch" items. Category:Medicine itself is entirely part of Category:Items, and all items within it use the dual category classification that you just undid, which is why I was correcting it the Ability Capsule page.

No disrespect intended, but I feel this change to be both incorrect and counterproductive
--[[User:13akoors|13akoors]] ([[User talk:13akoors|talk]]) 05:45, 4 March 2018 (UTC)

EDIT: After re-looking, it seeks that only subcategories follow the system I was using. That said, Ability Capsules do not fit within any subcategory, so I would argue an exception should be made for it
:I think I might have been a bit unclear. Only items in the items pocket should be ''directly'' placed in Category:Items. The Medicine category is in Category:Items, but the items in Category:Medicine are not also placed directly in Category:Items.
:There was discussion about creating a new category specifically for the items pocket (so that no items would be placed directly in Category:Items), although we hadn't agreed on a name. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 05:50, 4 March 2018 (UTC)

== A bunch of things ==

Hi there. I've got several things:
#[[User talk:Kogoro#Template:MoveInfobox]]: Any idea what to do about it? I've really tried hard, and Kogoro is(/was) aware but continues to ignore me. (Also, do you know anything regarding BulbaBot? I'm not even sure it's intended to be fixed.)
#[[Talk:Pokémon outbreak#Generation III outbreaks]]: FYI.
#The fossil pages: I guess pages named "X and Y Fossils" are supposed to end up deleted? If so, I guess the procedure would be to first de-link them, then move them onto "X Fossil" (to preserve history) and split off "Y Fossil"? If that's right/reasonable, if ''someone'' went and took care of links, would you be able to do the rest (as Lanthanum has started to create individual pages in their userspace, I guess it'll require <code>delete</code> and <code>mergehistory</code>)?
#[[#New pages notability]]/[[User:Nescientist/Confusion (status condition)]]: Any progress there?
#[[Template talk:Sup/t#Link target]]: Could you have a look, please?
#[[Template:Movelist]]: I'd like to have movelists like those at {{m|Snatch}} be sortable. But the template creates and hides up to four columns, causing the Gen.VII column to order by Gen.III etc., which makes me wonder: what was wrong with [[Special:Diff/2656742|this edit]] that caused you to develop some workaround (that breaks the sorting)? (And also, why are there even optional generic columns at all?) You're more into it, plus you stated reasons in that workaround edit summary that I think I fail to understand thoroughly.
Thanks. [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 17:19, 6 March 2018 (UTC)
:Bumping, and expanding:
::7. Could you do the Bottle Caps Lanthanum started in their userspace?
::8. Can I do [[Potion]] in a similar way than [[Revive]] (and change <code><nowiki>{{DL|Potion|Potion}}</nowiki></code> be changed to <code><nowiki>[[Potion]]</nowiki></code> in the process?)
::9. What also came to my mind is [[legendary artifacts]]: Akurochan recently created articles on many of them, and when considering how to fix their introductions, I came to the conclusion that I think we shouldn't deliberately link there at all, but delete the page!? It's basically just a list of {{template|Item}} templates for largely unrelated items, and you said at its talk that it was just a title that describes that list. I don't know how much deleting pages with histories (and talk pages) is frowned upon (and I don't like it much), so maybe we just move the article onto the category?? (Should I address this on the articles talk page? Or else, if you give me a go, I guess I can do the rest even without admin powers!?)

== Title is not correct ==

Real title should be Mr.Mime (Pokémon), per Nintendo. [[User:Baby G|Baby G]] 17:03, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

:No, it's officially Mr. Mime, WITH the space. Check the [[Generation IV]] Pokédex, it's clearly "Mr. Mime" there.

:Additionally, spaces don't always have to be the same width as other characters. The games switched to proportional-width fonts full-time as of [[Generation III]], and there's a space in its name. A narrow space, but still a space nonetheless. Prior to [[Generation III]], odds are it was only "Mr.Mime" due to technical restrictions and that "Mr.Mime" was never officially its name--the original [[Pokérap]] has a narrow yet clear space in Mr. Mime's name in visual presentations.

:My [[$1|2¢]]: The name IS correct. --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 18:33, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

Why can this article never be accessed by URL?

One can access this article normally if it's from another internal article of Bulbapedia, though.

== Possible Image Swap ==

I've played Red and Blue, and the sprite I recall is the one that is labeled as the one for Red/Green. The one for Red/Blue is one that I'm fairly positive I haven't seen before. Is it possible that these two images are reversed? Or, quite possibly that the Yellow one is even out of place and so all the images are off. Not sure, but I'm fairly positive that the images are marked incorrectly. Opinions? [[User:KurosakisTwin|KurosakisTwin]] 22:22, 17 July 2010 (UTC)

== Trivia ==
"Mr. Mime was the first species with a space in its name, as well as the first one with a period and the first one whose name was more than one word; the space in its name was only reflected in the handheld games starting with Generation III, however. Only in Generation IV was the second such species introduced: its baby form, Mime Jr."

This really isnt trivia. It's just something somebody noticed. And even as that, I don't think it's significant. If it was a generation 3 pokemon nd no other pokemon before it had ever had a non-alphabetic character or space in its name, it would be notable as having broken the pattern, but it was one of the origional pokemon, when there was no pattern to break. on top of this, its not even the only gen 1 pokemon with characters in its name besides letters, so it doesnt even have that significance.[[User:Bug Catcher Wade|'''Bug Catcher Wade''']] 02:13, 3 August 2010 (UTC)

== Physiology ==
Should the Physiology be changed/revised? The word "red" is mention quite often and although its pre-evolution's nose IS red, Mr. Mime's body features, including Sugimori artwork and near all in-game sprites are, what I like to call, Psychic-type pink. So IMHO, red should be replaced with pink..The only sprites that follow up on the red coloring may be Gen III sprites as well as the Mystery Dungeon pictures (maybe).Zetaphrem ~~President of Zeta-Tech Inc.~~ 04:21, 24 February 2011 (UTC)

== trivia 2 ==

"Although its English, French and '''Italian''' names [...]". Either you add Spanish or you don't put the Italian because they have both copied all the 649 Pokémon names from the English. --[[User:CiaobyDany|CiaobyDany]] ([[User talk:CiaobyDany|talk]]) 21:33, 29 October 2012 (UTC)

== "Mr. Mime is the only Pokémon in Red and Green that cannot be obtained without a nickname." ==

This trivia is incorrect. If we're just referring to Red and Green, Farfetch'd, Lickitung and Jynx can only be obtained with nicknames as well. If we're considering the ability to trade those Pokemon from other games, then Mr. Mime can be traded in from Gen II without a nickname.

'''Ash's Pikachu''' (Japanese: '''サトシのピカチュウ''' ''Satoshi's Pikachu'') is the signature {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} of the [[Pokémon anime]], and the [[starter Pokémon|first Pokémon]] that {{Ash}} obtained on his journey as a [[Pokémon Trainer]], given to him by {{an|Professor Oak}}.

==History==
{{cleanup|section}}
===[[Original series]]===
====Kanto====
[[File:Ash Pikachu EP001.png|thumb|left|220px|Pikachu's debut appearance]]
In the first episode of the [[Pokémon anime]], ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', Ash woke up late the day he was supposed to go to [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] to obtain his first Pokémon. When he arrived at the lab, the three available starter Pokémon, {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, and {{p|Squirtle}}, had already been taken by other Trainers who had arrived on time. Seeing Ash's disappointment, {{an|Professor Oak}} gave him Pikachu, who, at first, [[Obedience|did not care at all for his new Trainer]], constantly zapping him and anyone else nearby. He refused to go into his [[Poké Ball]], and when Ash failed to catch a {{p|Pidgey}}, he laughed at him. However, by the end of the episode, Ash gained Pikachu's trust by protecting him from an attack by a flock of angry {{p|Spearow}}. Seeing this act of selflessness, Pikachu defended Ash from the Spearow as well, and the two of them became inseparable friends, a moment that was capitalized on by catching a glimpse of an {{an|Ho-Oh|unknown Pokémon}} flying by. Ash then rushed to [[Viridian City]] in order to get Pikachu hospitalized quickly, as he had been badly injured during the fight.

[[File:Ash Pikachu debut.png‎|thumb|220px|Pikachu and Ash meeting for the first time]]
In ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'', Ash managed to get to the Viridian City [[Pokémon Center]] just in time with the help of [[Officer Jenny]], who scolded Ash for "mistreating" Pikachu. [[Nurse Joy]] agreed to heal Pikachu, and thanks to her, Pikachu managed to regain his health. At the end of the episode, Pikachu had regained enough of his strength to send {{TRT}} blasting off for the very first time.

Pikachu participated in Ash's first [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}} with {{an|Brock}} in ''[[EP005|Showdown in Pewter City]]''. He faced {{TP|Brock|Onix}}, but his {{type|Electric}} attacks were ineffective. Onix then started {{m|bind}}ing Pikachu. Seeing no other option, Ash forfeited. Ash and Pikachu later trained with {{ka|Flint}} in order to increase the strength of Pikachu's Electric-type moves. Ash later challenged Brock to a [[rematch]], where Pikachu managed to defeat [[Brock's Geodude]] thanks to his training. Pikachu then faced Onix again, who was able to Bind Pikachu once again, but this time Pikachu's Electric-type attacks dealt quite some damage. However, despite their training, Pikachu was still unable to defeat Onix, who was tightening its grip on Pikachu. As Ash was about to forfeit again, Pikachu's {{m|Thunderbolt}} managed to turn on the Gym's sprinkler system, severely harming Onix. As Ash was about let Pikachu finish Onix off, he was stopped by [[Brock's siblings]] and he decided to forfeit again. Despite Ash forfeiting the match, Brock still gave him the {{badge|Boulder}}.

[[File:Ash Pikachu wounded.png|thumb|left|220px|Ash rushing Pikachu to the Pokémon Center]]
Pikachu's next major battle was in Ash's [[Vermilion Gym]] battle against [[Lt. Surge's Raichu]] in ''[[EP014|Electric Shock Showdown]]''. [[Lt. Surge]] laughed at Ash for attempting to defeat his Raichu with its pre-evolved form, angering Ash and Pikachu. Pikachu started off using {{m|Thunder Shock}} which seemed to do nothing to Raichu. Raichu then used its own Thunder Shock, which was much more powerful than Pikachu's attack, and dealt much more damage. Following advice from Brock, Ash tried recalling Pikachu in order to forfeit. However, Pikachu was determined to defeat Raichu, and therefore, kept fighting. While trying to attack, Pikachu got overwhelmed by Raichu's {{m|Mega Punch}} and {{m|Mega Kick}} and was finally defeated by a powerful Thunderbolt. Due to all the damage he had taken during the battle, Pikachu had to be hospitalized. Later in the episode, Ash offered to let Pikachu evolve into a Raichu with a [[Thunder Stone]] that Nurse Joy had given him. However, Pikachu refused, wanting to defeat Raichu on his own terms.

Later, Ash challenged Lt. Surge to a rematch, where Pikachu once again faced Raichu. Trying to get close, Pikachu got hammered to the ground by Raichu's tail, followed up by repeating hits from its tail. Raichu then hit him hard with {{m|Body Slam}}. As Raichu was about to finish him off with another Body Slam, Pikachu managed to get up and dodge it. Ash soon found out from Brock that since Raichu was evolved so early, it did not learn any of the moves that it could only learn as a Pikachu, such as {{m|Agility}} and {{m|Quick Attack}}. Through his use of these moves, Pikachu managed to gain the upper hand and dodge Raichu's attacks. Raichu responded with an extremely powerful Thunderbolt attack that Lt. Surge was sure could defeat Pikachu. Pikachu, however, used his tail as an anchor to absorb the shock. Raichu tried using Thunderbolt again but due to its previous attack it had run out of electricity. It then tried to hit Pikachu with a {{m|Take Down}}, but was outsped by Pikachu's Quick Attack. Pikachu then used his tail to slam Raichu and defeat it, earning Ash the {{badge|Thunder}}.

In ''[[EP022|Abra and the Psychic Showdown]]'', Pikachu was sent out to battle against [[Sabrina's Abra]] during Ash's [[Saffron Gym]] battle. It proved to be a tough foe, using {{m|Teleport}} to avoid Pikachu's Thunder Shock. Abra then suddenly evolved into Kadabra, making it much stronger. Pikachu tried filling the battlefield with lightning to prevent Kadabra from using Teleport, but Kadabra countered with {{m|Confusion}} to send the attack back to Pikachu. Kadabra then used {{m|Psychic}} to control Pikachu's body and started to repeatedly smash him into the ceiling and back down. Unwilling to see his friend suffer even more, Ash forfeited the match.
In Ash's rematch with [[Sabrina]] in ''[[EP024|Haunter versus Kadabra]]'', Pikachu selflessly fought Kadabra, since {{TP|Sabrina|Haunter}} didn't show up and his other Pokémon were too terrified. Pikachu used Thunder Shock, which Kadabra avoided using Teleport. After taking a hit from Kadabra's {{m|Psybeam}}, Pikachu unleashed a powerful Thunderbolt which dealt major damage to Kadabra. Kadabra, however, quickly used {{m|Recover}}, negating the damage it had taken. At that moment, Haunter appeared, and made Sabrina and Kadabra laugh. As both Sabrina and Kadabra were unable to continue the battle, Ash was declared the winner by [[Sabrina's father]] which earned him the {{badge|Marsh}}.

In ''[[EP033|The Flame Pokémon-athon!]]'', Pikachu entered the [[Big P Pokémon Race]] with {{AP|Squirtle}}. The two were at a significant disadvantage due to Squirtle's short legs, and Pikachu's comparative weight, but in a way, this helped as they managed to escape an {{p|Electrode}} self-destructing. They made ground when they reached the water stage, putting them in the top four with Ash, {{an|Misty}} and [[Dario]]. However, intervention from Team Rocket forced a battle, and the two were put out of the running by a {{m|Glare}} attack from {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}}.

In ''[[EP039|Pikachu's Goodbye]]'', Ash and {{ashfr}} ran into a group of {{pkmn2|wild}} Pikachu, which was a very rare encounter. Pikachu tried to make friends with the other Pikachu but received a lukewarm response. After saving a baby Pikachu from falling down a waterfall, Ash's Pikachu was accepted by the group. Ash was overjoyed by this at first, but soon began to feel sad, because he thought that Pikachu would be better off with the rest of his kind. After stopping Team Rocket from poaching his Pikachu and the wild Pikachu, Ash decided it was best to leave Pikachu behind with the others. However, Pikachu refused to leave Ash, and quickly ran to catch up with him, followed by the wild Pikachu, who supported Ash and Pikachu being together.

In ''[[EP052|Princess vs. Princess]]'', Pikachu was borrowed by Misty, so she could use him in the {{DL|Princess Festival|Queen of the Princess Festival contest}}, where he was seen defeating a {{p|Fearow}}. In the finals, Pikachu was Misty's first Pokémon used against [[Jessie]]. Pikachu easily managed to defeat Arbok, {{TP|James|Weezing}} and {{MTR}} in succession with a single Thunder Shock. Pikachu then faced [[Jessie's Lickitung]]. He tried attacking with Thunderbolt, but was then licked by Lickitung and knocking him out.

In ''[[EP058|Riddle Me This]]'', Pikachu was Ash's last Pokémon used in his seventh Gym battle at the [[Cinnabar Gym]], where he faced off against [[Blaine]]'s {{p|Rhydon}}. Pikachu used his quickness to dodge Rhydon's {{m|Fury Attack}} and then used Thunderbolt, which was ineffective. Despite being immune to Electric moves, Rhydon was defeated when Pikachu aimed his Thunderbolt attack at the horn on Rhydon's head. Pikachu then faced [[Blaine's Magmar]]. Pikachu tried dodging Magmar's {{m|Fire Punch}} the same way he had dodged Rhydon's Fury Attack, but got hit. Pikachu then tried hitting Magmar with an Electric-type attack, but it proved to be ineffective due to Magmar's Air Lens ability, which heated the air surrounding Magmar, making Electric-type attacks ineffective. Magmar then attacked with a series of Fire Punches, driving Pikachu to the edge of the battlefield. Magmar then unleashed its {{m|Fire Blast}}, which managed to push Pikachu further back, and almost caused him to fall off the battlefield in the lava. Seeing that, Ash then decided to forfeit the match.

[[File:Ash Pikachu Poké Ball.png|thumb|220px|Pikachu's Poké Ball, with a lightning bolt mark, at Professor Oak's Laboratory]]
In ''[[EP063|The Battle of the Badge]]'', Ash had Pikachu attack Team Rocket and their Pokémon after they sent out Arbok and Weezing to attack during their Gym battle. Using Thunderbolt, Pikachu hit all the opposing Pokémon at once, causing {{p|Machamp}}, Rhydon and {{p|Kingler}} to run away in fear, and defeating Arbok and Weezing. After Team Rocket got blasted off, Ash got his eighth Gym Badge, the {{badge|Earth}}.

Pikachu made friends with another Pikachu, [[nickname|named]] [[Puka]] in ''[[EP067|The Pi-Kahuna]]" This particular Pikachu had blue eyes, and was an excellent surfer. Ash and his friends had to save both Pikachu when Team Rocket tried to steal them both using their submarine.

Ash used Pikachu many times during the [[Indigo Plateau Conference]]. In ''[[EP076|Fire and Ice]]'', Pikachu fought against [[Pete Pebbleman]]'s powerful {{p|Arcanine}}. Pikachu started off using Agility to confuse Arcanine, but this strategy was countered by Arcanine, who melted the ice field using its Fire Blast, causing to whole battlefield to become one big pool of water. Pikachu, however, used this to his advantage by using the water to conduct his electricity and managed to defeat Arcanine with a powerful Thunderbolt.

In ''[[EP077|The Fourth Round Rumble]]'', he fought against [[Jeanette Fisher]]'s {{p|Bellsprout}}, who already had defeated [[Ash's Bulbasaur]]. Pikachu tried using Thunder Shock, but Bellsprout dodged and used {{m|Razor Leaf}}. Managing to avoid Razor Leaf, Pikachu used Thunderbolt, but it was ineffective since Bellsprout used its roots to conduct the electricity to the ground. Pikachu then engaged in hand-to-hand combat with Bellsprout, but despite trying his best, he was easily defeated by the skilled Pokémon's {{m|Slam}}.

Pikachu later faced off against Happy, [[Ritchie]]'s {{p|Butterfree}}, in ''[[EP079|Friend and Foe Alike]]''. Despite being exhausted from battling Team Rocket earlier, he still wanted to participate in the battle. Pikachu started off with {{m|Double-Edge}}, knocking Happy to the ground. As Happy tried flying up, he held on to it, and defeated the Butterfly Pokémon with a Thunderbolt. He then faced off against [[Zippo]], Ritchie's {{p|Charmander}}, but due to being exhausted by all his battles, Pikachu was quickly overwhelmed by Zippo's {{m|Flamethrower}} and was knocked out by its {{m|Tackle}}.

In ''[[EP081|Pallet Party Panic]]'', Ash decided to take Pikachu, along with some of his other Pokémon, to the [[Orange Archipelago]] with him.

====Orange Archipelago====
In ''[[EP086|Pikachu Re-Volts]]'', [[Butch]] and [[Cassidy]] used a {{p|Drowzee}} to take over the minds of many Pokémon on [[Mandarin Island North]], including Pikachu. In order to rescue the Pokémon, Ash taunted Pikachu into using Thunderbolt on him, which also hit the machine that Drowzee was wired to, freeing all of the Pokémon from its control.

In ''[[EP093|Navel Maneuvers]]'', Ash called Pikachu to help mold a block of ice into a sled, as part of his competition against [[Danny]]. He later rode in the sled along with his Bulbasaur and Squirtle in a race against Danny and his team. In the end, Ash managed to win the coveted {{badge|Sea Ruby}}.

In ''[[EP099|The Mandarin Island Miss Match]]'', Ash used Pikachu in a battle against [[Lorelei]]{{tt|*|Referred to as Prima in the dub}} of the [[Elite Four]], where he faced her {{TP|Lorelei|Cloyster}}. Pikachu started off with Thunderbolt, but Cloyster used {{m|Withdraw}} to protect itself from the attack. Pikachu then used Agility, but got pushed back by Cloyster's {{m|Reflect}}. He then managed to hit Cloyster with a super-effective {{m|Thunder}}, but Cloyster was still standing. After using {{m|Rage}} to increase its {{stat|Attack}}, Cloyster stopped Pikachu's Quick Attack with {{m|Aurora Beam}}, and knocked him out with Take Down.

In ''[[EP103|Misty Meets Her Match]]'', Pikachu participated in the first part of Ash's battle with [[Rudy]], using his Thunderbolt to blast targets. He then faced off against Rudy's {{p|Electabuzz}}. Pikachu started off using Thunderbolt, but Electabuzz absorbed the attack. He and Electabuzz then both used Quick Attack, but Electabuzz was able to overpower him. Pikachu then got defeated by a powerful {{m|Thunder Punch}}.

In [[EP104|the following episode]], Team Rocket had a plan to capture Pikachu that involved tying him up with Meowth. This succeeded at first, but Meowth and Pikachu got separated from Jessie and [[James]]. Being lost on the island, the two Pokémon had to work together to defeat powerful Pokémon, and get to safety. In the end, Ash, Misty and {{Tracey}} managed to find the duo first, and separated them from each other.

In ''[[EP108|Pokémon Double Trouble]]'', Pikachu was used in Ash's Gym battle against [[Luana]], where he had to fight alongside {{AP|Charizard}}. Despite both Pokémon being eager to battle, they started getting angry at each other, right before the battle affecting their teamwork negatively. Charizard tried hitting {{p|Alakazam}} and {{p|Marowak}} with Flamethrower, while Pikachu dashed forward. Alakazam and Marowak managed to dodge the Flamethrower, causing it to hit Pikachu. As Charizard went for Tackle, Alakazam stopped him using Psychic. Seeing how Charizard got continuously attacked by Alakazam and Marowak, Pikachu decided to help his partner and attacked Alakazam, freeing Charizard from Psychic's grasp. Pikachu then got hit by Marowak's Body Slam, but got caught by Charizard's wing. Now finally being able to work together, Pikachu jumped on Charizard's back and used Thunderbolt to stop Marowak after dodging its {{m|Bonemerang}}. As Alakazam was about to unleash its {{m|Hyper Beam}} at Charizard, it got hit by Marowak's Bonemerang, causing Hyper Beam to be launched at Marowak, knocking both Pokémon out. This gave Ash the victory, winning him the {{badge|Jade Star}} and allowing him to enter the [[Orange League]].

In ''[[EP111|Hello, Pummelo!]]'', Pikachu was Ash's first Pokémon used in his battle against {{OBP|Drake|Orange League}}, where he faced off against Drake's {{p|Ditto}}. Despite Ditto being able to copy Pikachu's attacks, it wasn't in good shape as Pikachu was. After continuously exchanging attacks, Pikachu managed to defeat it. Pikachu was then recalled when Drake sent out his {{p|Onix}}. [[EP112|Later]], Pikachu faced off against Drake's powerful {{TP|Drake|Dragonite}}, who had already defeated three of Ash's Pokémon. Pikachu headed towards Dragonite using Agility, but got knocked back by Dragonite's tail. Dragonite then attacked with Hyper Beam, but Pikachu managed to jump on Dragonite's head by using his tail as a spring board to dodge the attack, and finally defeat it with a powerful Thunder, earning Ash the [[Winner's Trophy]] and a spot in the [[Orange League Hall of Fame]].

In ''[[EP116|The Rivalry Revival]]'', Pikachu battled against [[Gary's Eevee]]. Pikachu started off with Quick Attack, but Eevee used Reflect to block the attack. Pikachu then used Thunderbolt, but Eevee dodged the attack using {{m|Double Team}}. Eevee then switched to offense and dashed forward using Take Down. Pikachu, however, dodged this using Agility, and prepared to use Thunder. Before he was able to launch his attack, however, Eevee managed to hit him with a powerful {{m|Skull Bash}}, knocking him out. Later in the episode, Ash decided to take Pikachu, along with his other Pokémon, to [[Johto]] with him.

====Johto====
In ''[[EP118|The Double Trouble Header]]'', Ash used Pikachu in his second battle against {{an|Casey}}, where he faced her {{TP|Casey|Chikorita}}. Despite Casey having only recently obtained {{p|Chikorita}}, it quickly gained the upper hand. Chikorita first used its {{m|Sweet Scent}} to tranquilize Pikachu, and followed up with a Tackle. Pikachu's Thunderbolt was then deflected by Chikorita's leaf, and afterwards was hit by Tackle again. The battle was then interrupted by Team Rocket, who tried to steal their Pokémon. Their plan failed however, when Pikachu and Chikorita were reunited with their Trainers, and teamed up to defeat Team Rocket.

In ''[[EP131|Fighting Flyer with Fire]]'', Pikachu was used in Ash's [[Violet Gym]] battle against [[Falkner]], where he battled Falkner's {{p|Hoothoot}}. Pikachu used Agility to avoid getting hit by Hoothoot's Tackle. Hoothoot tried flying up to get out Pikachu's range, but Pikachu was still able to hit it with a super-effective Thunderbolt, and then finished Hoothoot off with a Quick Attack. He then faced Falkner's {{p|Dodrio}}. Both Pokémon started off using Agility, matching each other's speed. Pikachu then went for Thunderbolt, but Dodrio used its great jumping ability to dodge the attack. It then hit Pikachu hard with Fury Attack, followed up by {{m|Drill Peck}}. When Dodrio was about to finish him off with {{m|Tri Attack}}, Pikachu jumped high in the air, and unleashed a super-effective Thunder, defeating Dodrio. Pikachu then briefly faced Falkner's {{p|Pidgeot}}, but as he was already tired from his previous matches, he was quickly defeated by a {{m|Whirlwind}}.

In ''[[EP144|Gettin' The Bugs Out]]'', Ash used Pikachu as his third Pokémon in his [[Azalea Gym]] battle, where he went up against [[Bugsy]]'s {{p|Metapod}}. Metapod used its jumping abilities to jump high and use Tackle. Although Pikachu dodged it, it created a dust cloud and used the leaves of a nearby tree to make it unable to spot. Pikachu, however, managed to spot Metapod by using his hearing, and after dodging a series of Tackles with Agility, Pikachu managed to jump on Metapod's back and defeat it with Thunderbolt. He then went up against Bugsy's last, and most powerful Pokémon, {{TP|Bugsy|Scyther}}. Despite Pikachu having the [[Type|type-advantage]], his Thunderbolt attacks constantly missed, because of {{p|Scyther}} using Double Team. The real Scyther appeared behind Pikachu, and hit him with {{m|Fury Cutter}}. With each Fury Cutter doubling in power, Pikachu was knocked out.

In ''[[EP151|The Totodile Duel]]'', Pikachu was used to battle Misty for the ownership of {{AP|Totodile}}. He went up against {{TP|Misty|Togepi}}. Pikachu, however, did not want to hurt his friend, therefore forfeited the match by running away.

In ''[[EP158|A Goldenrod Opportunity]]'', Pikachu faced off against [[Whitney]]'s powerful {{TP|Whitney|Miltank}}, who had already easily defeated [[Ash's Cyndaquil]] and Totodile using {{m|Rollout}}. Ash had Pikachu use Thunderbolt on Miltank since she got wet by Totodile's {{m|Water Gun}}. However, due to Miltank spinning at great speed, she had already dried up, making Thunderbolt useless. Pikachu then tried attacking with Agility, but he got overpowered by Miltank's Rollout, and was then defeated by another one, causing Ash to lose the battle.

In [[EP159|the following episode]], Pikachu battled Miltank again in Ash's rematch against Whitney. First Ash had Cyndaquil tire out Miltank, and then had Totodile create ditches in the ground to slow her down. Thanks to this strategy, Miltank lost her balance, giving Pikachu the opportunity to throw Miltank in the air by hiding in one of the ditches, and then finish her off with a Thunderbolt, earning Ash the {{badge|Plain}}.

In ''[[EP161|The Bug Stops Here]]'', Pikachu and Ash entered the [[Bug-Catching Contest]]. The two encountered a {{p|Weedle}}, but before Pikachu could attack it, Casey's Chikorita intervened, and Casey caught the Hairy Bug Pokémon. Later, Ash and Pikachu chased after a Scyther, but accidentally disturbed a swarm of {{p|Beedrill}} in the process. Pikachu managed to shock one of the Beedrill with Thunderbolt, giving Ash the chance to catch it. With this capture, Ash managed to win the contest, winning him a [[Sun Stone]].

In ''[[EP168|Hook, Line, and Stinker]]'', Ash chose Pikachu as his Pokémon to assist him in the [[Seaking Catching Day]]. After Ash managed to reel in a {{p|Seaking}}, Pikachu weakened it with Thunderbolt so Ash could catch it.

Pikachu befriended a bunch of {{p|Pichu}} in ''[[EP179|The Apple Corp!]]''. At first they framed Pikachu into eating apples, while they were the ones who actually ate them. When the Pichu were attacked by a Fearow, Pikachu sent a Thunderbolt warning shot to Fearow, which scared him off. Later Pikachu's electricity was sucked away by Team Rocket, and got kidnapped. The Pichu eventually managed to restore Pikachu's electricity, and together they blasted Team Rocket off.

In ''[[EP182|From Ghost to Ghost]]'', Pikachu was used in Ash's Gym battle against [[Morty]], where he faced off against Morty's {{p|Gastly}}. Pikachu managed to hit Gastly with a Quick Attack after Ash had {{AP|Noctowl}} use {{m|Foresight}} earlier in the match. Despite this, Gastly used its great speed to dodge Pikachu's Thunderbolt, and defeated him with a single {{m|Night Shade}}.

In ''[[EP209|Machoke, Machoke Man!]]'', Ash chose Pikachu as his first Pokémon in his Gym battle against [[Chuck]]. Pikachu battled Chuck's {{p|Poliwrath}}, and managed to hit it with a super-effective Thunderbolt. Despite this, Poliwrath was still standing, and after absorbing a Quick Attack with its muscled body, it hit Pikachu with a series of powerful {{m|Double Slap}} attacks, knocking him out.

In ''[[EP224|Nerves of Steelix!]]'', Ash sent out Pikachu to battle Jasmine's {{p|Magnemite}}. Both Pokémon proved to be equal in speed by constantly dodging each other's attacks. Finally, Ash decided to let Pikachu take a {{m|Thunder Wave}} from Magnemite, so Magnemite could get hit by a Thunderbolt, causing a lot of damage. After dodging another attack from Magnemite, Pikachu finished it off with a Quick Attack, crashing it into a wall. Next, Pikachu faced off against Jasmine's strongest Pokémon, {{TP|Jasmine|Steelix}}. Due to his previous battle against Magnemite, Pikachu was tired and was quickly defeated by a powerful {{m|Iron Tail}}.

In ''[[EP237|As Cold as Pryce]]'', Pikachu was seen aiding Cyndaquil in reviving [[Pryce's Piloswine]]. In the following episode, ''[[EP238|Nice Pryce, Baby!]]'', Pikachu was sent out to battle Piloswine, who already had defeated Ash's Cyndaquil. Due to the icy field, Pikachu constantly slipped, which caused his Agility to be ineffective, and almost unable to avoid Piloswine's attacks. Ash then got the idea to use the ice pillars to change Pikachu's direction while sliding on the ice. Using this tactic, Pikachu gained a big amount of speed, and slid under Piloswine, giving him the opportunity to hit Piloswine hard with Thunder. Piloswine then started to use {{m|Rest}} in order to return back to full health. Pikachu tried to finish it off with a Quick Attack, but was too late and got hit hard by a Take Down. Pikachu was still able to battle, and countered Piloswine's next Take Down with a Quick Attack, and hit it with Thunder. This caused the ice under Piloswine to break, which caused Piloswine to fall into the water. Then, Pikachu hit Piloswine with Thunderbolt, which caused massive damage due to Piloswine's wet fur. Despite this, Piloswine was still standing and constantly hit Pikachu with Fury Attack. Seeing no other option to escape, Pikachu used a close-range Thunder causing a massive explosion. Pikachu got knocked down while Piloswine still seemed to be able to battle. Refusing to give up, Pikachu still managed to stand up, and as he was about to attack again, [[Pryce]] threw in the towel resulting into a T.K.O., giving Ash the win and earning him the {{badge|Glacier}}.

In ''[[EP252|Fangs for Nothin']]'', Ash chose Pikachu as his first Pokémon in his Gym battle against [[Clair]], sending him out against her {{p|Kingdra}}. Unaware of Kingdra's {{t|Dragon|secondary type}}, Ash had Pikachu go for Thunderbolt. To Ash's surprise, Kingdra easily took the attack. Pikachu then tried dodging Kingdra's {{m|Twister}}, but as Kingdra was able to control the direction of the attack, Pikachu was caught in the tornado. Pikachu then went for Thunder, but also this Electric-type move left Kingdra unscathed. After a collision between, {{m|Hydro Pump}} and Thunderbolt, Pikachu managed to dodge several blasts of Hydro Pump, before hitting Kingdra with Quick Attack. However, after seeing that [[physical move]]s didn't work either, Ash followed Misty and Brock's advice to recall Pikachu. Their battle was later stopped due to Team Rocket's theft of the [[Dragon Fang]]. In [[EP253|the following episode]], Pikachu helped stop the rampage of a {{p|Dragonite}} that belonged to the old [[Blackthorn Gym]] Leader.

In [[EP254|the next episode]], Pikachu was used in Ash's last Johto Gym battle against Clair, where he faced her {{p|Gyarados}}. Despite the double type-advantage, Gyarados proved to be quite a match for Pikachu, using its {{m|Dragon Breath}} to block Pikachu's Electric-type attacks. After getting hit by a Hydro Pump, Pikachu got wrapped by Gyarados. This, however, allowed Pikachu to hit Gyarados hard with a Thunderbolt. Gyarados quickly managed to recover the attack, and launched a barrage of {{m|Bite}} attacks, causing Pikachu to get cornered. As Clair was ready to finish the battle with a close-range Hydro Pump, Ash had Pikachu use Agility to get onto Gyarados's Hydro Pump, and defeated the Atrocious Pokémon with a powerful Thunderbolt. Clair then sent out her {{TP|Clair|Dragonair}} to battle Pikachu, who managed to dodge Pikachu's attacks and knocked him out with a point-blank Hyper Beam.

In ''[[EP266|A Claim to Flame!]]'', Pikachu was used by Ash in the Athlete's Round of the [[Silver Conference]] against [[Salvador]] and his {{p|Furret}}. Furret proved to be a tough opponent by repeatedly using {{m|Dig}} to confuse, and attack Pikachu. Eventually, Pikachu managed to grab onto Furret's back, and as it dove back into one of its holes, Pikachu unleashed a powerful Thunderbolt, and finally finished the match with a Quick Attack.

Pikachu was used again in ''[[EP268|Tie One On!]]'', where he faced off against [[Vincent|Jackson]]'s {{p|Azumarill}}. Azumarill started off using Water Gun, but Pikachu evaded this attack using Quick Attack, and reversed it to hit Azumarill, which it nearly dodged. After a collision of Thunderbolt and {{m|Bubble Beam}}, Pikachu got hit by {{m|Icy Wind}}. Azumarill then hit Pikachu with Iron Tail, but Pikachu managed to hold on his tail, and launched a super-effective Thunder, knocking out Azumarill. Next, Pikachu went up against Jackson's [[Shiny Pokémon|Shiny]] {{p|Magneton}}. After exchanging hits from each other's Thunderbolt, Magneton dodged Pikachu's Quick Attack, and stunned Pikachu with Thunder Wave, before defeating him with Tri Attack.

In ''[[EP271|Playing with Fire!]]'', Pikachu was Ash's first Pokémon used in his battle against {{jo|Harrison}}. Pikachu battled Harrison's {{p|Kecleon}}, which used its {{a|Color Change}} [[Ability]] to hide itself in the tall grass while hitting Pikachu with its tongue. Eventually, Pikachu managed to grab Kecleon's tongue, and defeated it with Thunderbolt. Harrison then sent out his {{TP|Harrison|Sneasel}}. Sneasel managed to avoid Pikachu's Thunderbolt using its speed, and defeated him with a single {{m|Metal Claw}}.

After saying farewell to Misty and Brock in ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later!]]'', Ash decided to only take Pikachu with him to [[Hoenn]], and left [[Pallet Town]] with him at the end of the episode. In [[EP274|the following episode]], while getting ready to depart for Hoenn by ship, Ash and Pikachu got attacked by Team Rocket, who used an electromagnet to stick Pikachu to it, and drain his electricity. Eventually, thanks to some wild Pokemon, and Officer Jenny, Pikachu was saved. The next day, Ash tried to wake Pikachu up, but soon noticed that he was suffering from a severe illness caused by the electromagnet that Team Rocket used to capture him.

==={{series|Advanced Generation}}===
====Hoenn====
In ''[[AG001|Get the Show on the Road!]]'', Ash was willing to get Pikachu some help regarding taking care of the illness. He met up with [[Professor Birch]], who took Pikachu to his lab. Even though they were able to strap him to the machine to drain out the overload electricity he received, the machine exploded as the electricity levels were too high. Pikachu then ran off, with Ash and Professor Birch chasing after him. Eventually, Ash managed to find Pikachu, but in his confused state, Pikachu attacked him, and fled towards the end of a cliff. As Pikachu fell off the cliff, Ash fearlessly jumped after him, and managed to catch him, and grab a branch. Pikachu tried resisting, but Ash was able to get through, and calm him down. When Ash and Pikachu were pulled up to safety, Team Rocket arrived. Their [[Team Rocket's mechas|mecha]] accidentally cured Pikachu of his illness, and he was able to blast them off, destroying {{an|May}}'s bike in the process.

In ''[[AG003|There's no Place like Hoenn]]'', Ash used Pikachu in an unofficial 1-on-1 battle against [[Norman]], since Ash only had one Pokémon at the time instead of the three required. Norman's {{p|Vigoroth}} proved to be a tough opponent, dodging Pikachu's attacks with ease, and hitting him hard with multiple {{m|Scratch}} attacks. Pikachu managed to successfully hit Vigoroth with Quick Attack, but Vigoroth hit him again, and defeated him with one final Scratch. After their match, Team Rocket tried to steal Pikachu and Vigoroth, but accidentally stole {{TP|May|Torchic}}. Later Pikachu was used alongside Norman's Vigoroth to battle Team Rocket, and blasted them off in addition to rescuing Torchic.

In ''[[AG013|All Things Bright and Beautifly!]]'', Ash began teaching Pikachu Iron Tail in preparation for his [[Rustboro Gym]] battle, a {{type|Rock}} Gym, and got help from a {{pkmn|Coordinator}} named {{an|Chaz}} and his {{p|Sentret}}. Despite their effort and training, Pikachu was still unable to fully master Iron Tail.

In ''[[AG016|The Winner by a Nosepass]]'', Pikachu was Ash's last Pokémon used in his Gym battle against [[Roxanne]], where he was sent out against her {{p|Geodude}}. Pikachu started off using Thunder to flatten the rocky battlefield. Geodude countered with {{m|Rock Throw}}, which Pikachu managed to dodge using Quick Attack, only to end up right in front of Geodude. This gave Geodude the chance to hit him hard with a Mega Punch. As Geodude used Rollout to finish Pikachu off, it got stuck and couldn’t execute its attack because of the flattened battlefield. Pikachu used this opportunity to get close using Quick Attack, and hit Geodude with a powerful Thunder, defeating it.
Pikachu then faced [[Roxanne's Nosepass]]. Pikachu started off using Iron Tail, which managed to successfully hit Nosepass. After dodging Nosepass’s attack, Pikachu went for a second Iron Tail, but failed this time. Nosepass then used {{m|Rock Tomb}} to trap Pikachu, but he managed to break free using Thunder. Nosepass then countered with {{m|Sandstorm}}, deteriorating Pikachu’s sight. However, Nosepass was able to sense Pikachu using its electromagnetic nose, and managed to slam its body into him. Nosepass then tried to stomp on Pikachu, but he managed to avoid it by using Quick Attack. After using Quick Attack again to dodge Nosepass’s Rock Tomb, Pikachu used Quick Attack to run around Nosepass in order to confuse it. He was able to get behind Nosepass, and used Iron Tail, only to fail once again. Nosepass then went for Thunder Wave, which Pikachu barely avoided. Ash then had Pikachu charge towards Nosepass and let him take its {{m|Zap Cannon}}, causing Pikachu to absorb the electricity. Pikachu then tackled Nosepass, releasing the electricity at Nosepass, causing it to become {{status|Paralysis|paralyzed}}. Pikachu defeated Nosepass with one final Iron Tail, finally mastering the move in the process, as well as earning Ash the {{badge|Stone}}.

In ''[[AG040|Watt's with Wattson?]]'', Ash and his friends arrived at [[Mauville City]] and immediately proceeded to the [[Mauville Gym]]. Inside the group encountered a robot {{p|Raikou}}. Thinking it would attack, Ash ordered Pikachu to attack the robot with Iron Tail, causing an explosion. This destroyed the robot, but also overcharged Pikachu with electricity, unbeknownst to the rest, however. Later, Pikachu was Ash's first Pokémon used in his Gym Battle against [[Wattson]]. Pikachu first faced Wattson's Magnemite. Due to being overcharged, Pikachu defeated Magnemite with a single Thunderbolt after dodging a {{m|Swift}} attack. Next, Pikachu battled Wattson's {{p|Voltorb}} and also managed to easily defeat it with another Thunderbolt. Getting agitated, Wattson sent out his Magneton and ordered it to use Zap Cannon. Pikachu easily managed to overpower this attack with Thunder, which also knocked Magneton out, earning Ash the {{badge|Dynamo}}.

In ''[[AG056|Going, Going, Yawn]]'', Ash used Pikachu as his third Pokémon in his [[Lavaridge Gym]] battle. He was sent out against [[Flannery]]'s {{p|Slugma}}, after it had {{status|Burn|burned}} {{AP|Treecko}}, and put {{AP|Corphish}} to {{status|Sleep}}. After using Quick Attack to dodge Flamethrower, he finally broke {{p|Magcargo}}'s Reflect that was affecting previous battles. Then, Slugma used {{m|Smog}} to cover itself. Pikachu, however, was able to sense it, and used Iron Tail. Slugma managed to dodge, and hit him with a Flamethrower. Pikachu then used Thunderbolt and although it looked like it initially missed, it electrified the Smog, harming Slugma. Flannery called for {{m|Yawn}}, but Ash unwilling for that to happen, had Pikachu use Quick Attack, hitting it before Yawn could be executed, and then finished Slugma off with Thunder. Ash kept Pikachu in when Flannery used her last Pokémon, {{p|Torkoal}}. Pikachu used Thunderbolt, but it was blocked by {{m|Iron Defense}}. Then, Pikachu dodged a Flamethrower and used Iron Tail, but it was blocked by Iron Defense as well. Torkoal then used {{m|Sludge Bomb}}, which hit Pikachu. Pikachu tried attacking with Thunder, but his attack was blocked by Iron Defense once again. Torkoal then used {{m|Overheat}} to defeat Pikachu.

In ''[[AG070|Balance of Power]]'', Ash used Pikachu as his first Pokémon in his [[Petalburg Gym]] battle against Norman. He went up against {{p|Slakoth}}. Pikachu used Quick Attack on Slakoth, which was avoided. After dodging a {{m|Shadow Ball}}, Pikachu used Iron Tail, only to be dodged as well, dazing Pikachu. Slakoth then used {{m|Hidden Power}}, which Pikachu tried to destroy the attack with Thunderbolt, but failed and was hit by the circling Hidden Power. Pikachu tried hitting Slakoth with Thunder, but this was dodged as well. Slakoth then countered with {{m|Blizzard}}, disabling Pikachu to move. Being unable to move, Pikachu was recalled. Later, Pikachu was sent out against Norman's Vigoroth. Pikachu used Thunderbolt, but Vigoroth swiftly dodged the attack, and launched a Scratch attack. However, Pikachu successfully blocked the attack with Iron Tail, but Vigoroth quickly recovered, and launched a Flamethrower, dealing much damage. Pikachu's electricity gave Ash an idea. He got Pikachu to use Quick Attack to dodge Vigoroth's Flamethrower. When Vigoroth launched another Scratch, Ash told Pikachu to stop where he was, and let him get hit. This activated Pikachu's Ability {{a|Static}}, paralyzing Vigoroth. This allowed Pikachu to defeat Vigoroth with Iron Tail. However, all this battling took its toll, as Pikachu fainted as well, ending the battle in a draw.

In ''[[AG085|Sky High Gym Battle!]]'', Pikachu was Ash's second Pokémon used in his [[Fortree Gym]] battle against [[Winona]]. Pikachu battled against Winona's {{p|Pelipper}}, and despite the major type-advantage, Pelipper proved to be a formidable opponent, being able to use {{m|Steel Wing}} as a lightning rod to conduct Pikachu's Electric-type attacks to the ground, thus preventing damage. After Pikachu got hit by a Quick Attack, Ash decided Pikachu should fight at close-range, and told him to use Quick Attack to get closer. However, this gave Pelipper the opportunity to hit Pikachu hard with a Hydro Pump. However, Pikachu stood his ground, and when Pelipper lifted its wing from the ground for a moment, Ash had Pikachu use Thunder on Pelipper. With both Pokémon being hit by powerful attacks, Pikachu and Pelipper both fainted.

In ''[[AG089|A Scare to Remember!]]'', Pikachu developed amnesia after an attack by Team Rocket and their machine. Team Rocket took advantage of this, and tricked Pikachu into joining them. He was then ordered to attack the group. Trying to get Pikachu back, Ash fearlessly jumped on their balloon. Team Rocket ordered Pikachu to hit Ash with Thunderbolt, causing them to get blasted off and causing Ash and Pikachu to fall down in a river. With Ash protecting Pikachu, Pikachu managed to regain his memory, and got rid of Team Rocket once again.

In ''[[AG097|Gaining Groudon]]'', Ash and the group got on a submarine owned by [[Team Magma]], where they met Team Magma's leader, [[Maxie]]. An explosion caused by {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Kyogre}}, caused the [[Blue Orb]] to fly off Maxie's desk. Pikachu managed to catch the orb before Team Magma could regain it. However, the orb soon started to glow, and melted into Pikachu's body, greatly increasing his power, but also making him lose control over himself. In [[AG098|the next episode]], Pikachu awakened {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Groudon}}, and aided it in its battle with {{p|Kyogre}}. Due to everyone's teamwork, {{p|Groudon}} was able to defeat Kyogre, causing the Blue Orb to emerge from Pikachu's body. Pikachu was then saved from drowning by Kyogre, and later bade it and Groudon farewell.

In ''[[AG100|Solid as a Solrock]]'', Ash used Pikachu and {{AP|Swellow}} in the [[Double Battle]] against [[Tate and Liza]] with their respective {{TP|Tate|Solrock}} and {{TP|Liza|Lunatone}}. Solrock and Lunatone both started off using Tackle which both scored a direct hit on Pikachu and Swellow. Pikachu and Swellow then tried hitting their opponents with Quick Attack and {{m|Peck}}, but their attack was dodged, causing them to crash into planets hanging from the ceiling, and caused them to fall on top of each as they hit the ground. This gave Solrock and Lunatone the opportunity to launch a {{m|Solar Beam}} and {{m|Ice Beam}}. As the attacks were about to hit their marks, the two beams accidentally collided, canceling each other out, causing the twins to quarrel. Ash used this chance to recover, and had Pikachu and Swellow strike the opposing Pokémon with a respective Iron Tail and {{m|Aerial Ace}}. Both Meteorite Pokémon then charged towards Pikachu using Tackle, but Swellow was able to save him in time, causing Solrock and Lunatone to crash into each other. The battle then got interrupted by Team Rocket, who destroyed the gym using their machine, and stole Solrock and Lunatone.

After Team Rocket was defeated, they all agreed to resume their battle outdoors. This time, however, the twins managed to put their differences aside and worked together as a team. Ash first had Pikachu use Thunderbolt on Solrock, but his attack was sent back by Lunatone's {{m|Light Screen}}, sending Pikachu flying into a wall. As Swellow tried to attack with Aerial Ace, Solrock used Sandstorm, sending Swellow flying as well. Pikachu then jumped on Swellow's back, and used Thunderbolt again, only to be deflected back by Light Screen again, hitting Pikachu and Swellow hard. Swellow then used Double Team, but Solrock and Lunatone countered using Solar Beam and Ice Beam to wipe out the copies. However, to Tate and Liza's surprise, Pikachu and Swellow got away unscathed. Swellow then dove down from the sky along with Pikachu to attack, but Solrock and Lunatone quickly responded, and hit them with Solar Beam and Ice Beam. Ash thought about how to negate the dual attacks, and then had Pikachu use Thunder on the clouds. Lightning then struck Pikachu and Swellow, which the two managed to endure. Once clear, Pikachu and Swellow were coated in a "Thunder Armor". Using this technique, Pikachu and Swellow managed to pierce through Solrock's Solar Beam and Lunatone's Light Screen, and managed to defeat them using Iron Tail and Aerial Ace, earning Ash the {{badge|Mind}}.

In ''[[AG101|Vanity Affair]]'', Ash used Pikachu against [[Hoenn Elite Four]] member [[Drake]]. Pikachu battled against his {{p|Shelgon}}. Pikachu used Thunderbolt and scored a direct hit. As Pikachu went for a second Thunderbolt, Shelgon used Double-Edge and managed to dodge the attack. Due to Shelgon's low {{stat|Speed}}, Pikachu easily dodged the attack with Quick Attack. When Pikachu was about to finish Shelgon off with Iron Tail, Shelgon had Pikachu come close, and then hit him hard with Dragon Breath. Shelgon then followed up with {{m|Dragon Claw}}, knocking Pikachu out.

In ''[[AG110|The Great Eight Fate!]]'', Ash chose Pikachu, along with his {{AP|Snorunt}} as his first two Pokémon in a Double Battle in the first round of his [[Sootopolis Gym]] battle. They went up against [[Juan]]'s {{p|Sealeo}} and Seaking. Pikachu used his Thunderbolt on Sealeo, but Seaking used {{m|Horn Drill}} to reflect it to Snorunt. Pikachu used Thunder, but Seaking once again used Horn Drill to reflect the attack to Snorunt again. However, this time, Pikachu protected Snorunt, taking most of the damage. Sealeo used Blizzard on the two, dealing much damage to Pikachu. Then, Ash had Snorunt use its Icy Wind to freeze the Blizzard, creating an ice pillar, which blocked Juan's view. Sealeo and Seaking destroyed the pillar with their Aurora Beam and Hyper Beam respectively. This created ice shards, which Ash had Snorunt and Pikachu jump on. Snorunt then used {{m|Headbutt}}, while Pikachu used Iron Tail. Seaking and Sealeo responded using Hyper Beam and Aurora Beam. While Pikachu was able to dodge Aurora Beam, Snorunt wasn't able to avoid the Hyper Beam and was knocked out.

Ash then sent out his Corphish. After dodging Corphish's Bubble Beam, both of Juan's Pokémon attacked from below with Sealeo using Aurora Beam on Pikachu's platform, which he was able to dodge. Seaking attacked Corphish with {{m|Horn Attack}}, but Corphish was able to grab its horn. However, Seaking used Horn Drill, sending Corphish flying. Ash then had Pikachu use Iron Tail on Seaking. Despite Sealeo trying to stop Pikachu using Aurora Beam, Pikachu was able to defeat Seaking, as well as avoid the attack in time. Pikachu then rode on Corphish's back, heading towards Sealeo. Sealeo tried stopping them using {{m|Ice Ball}}, which got stronger with each attack. While Pikachu and Corphish managed to destroy the first three Ice Balls, the fourth one managed to hit them both. Sealeo then launched a fifth Ice Ball at them both. Pikachu launched a Thunder at the Ice Ball, and after increasing its power, he was able to break it. While the falling ice shards were hurting Sealeo, Corphish was able to defeat it with its {{m|Crabhammer}}, knocking it out, and ending the first round of the Sootopolis Gym battle in Ash's favor. Both Pokémon were then recalled.

In [[AG111|the next episode]], Pikachu was used as Ash's last Pokémon in the second round of the Sootopolis Gym battle, going up against Juan's last and strongest Pokémon, his {{p|Milotic}}. Ash had Pikachu use Thunder, and although it dealt a lot of damage, Milotic nullified the damage by using Recover. Both Pokémon then used Iron Tail, in which Milotic's overpowered Pikachu's. Milotic quickly followed up with Twister, which was powered up by the water. Much to Juan's surprise, Pikachu was able to break through with Thunder, and followed up with a powerful Quick Attack. Milotic then used Hydro Pump, which Pikachu dodged, and used a super-effective Thunderbolt. However, Milotic shook the attack off, and used Recover, healing itself once again. Milotic then went underwater, making both Ash and Pikachu unable to see it. Milotic then tried hitting Pikachu with Iron Tail, but he dodged it and climbed onto Milotic's body. Milotic tried stopping him using Hydro Pump, but he dodged the attack. Pikachu then grabbed onto its eyebrows and flipped the Tender Pokémon into the water. While underwater, Pikachu used Thunder, dealing major damage to Milotic, as water was an excellent conductor of electricity. This knocked out Milotic, winning Ash the battle and earning him the {{badge|Rain}}.

In ''[[AG118|Less is Morrison]]'', Ash used Pikachu in a 1-on-1 battle against his new rival [[Morrison]]. He faced [[Morrison's Beldum]]. At first, Pikachu had the upper hand as the only move Beldum knew was Take Down, which he easily dodged before retaliating with Quick Attack and Thunderbolt. Pikachu then dodged another Take Down, but this time Beldum reversed, and finally managed to hit Pikachu with its attack. After getting hit by a second Take Down, Pikachu used Iron Tail to counter another one, causing a big explosion which knocked both Pokémon out.

In ''[[AG126|Saved by the Beldum]]'', Ash used Pikachu for the first round in the [[Ever Grande Conference]], he went up against {{OBP|Gilbert|AG126}} and his {{p|Hitmonlee}}.

As Pikachu charged in for one final attack, Hitmonlee hit him with Mega Kick. While heading towards the ground, Pikachu managed to escape Hitmonlee's kick, and hit him with Iron Tail, knocking it out, and causing Ash to advance to the next round of the tournament.

In ''[[AG128|Shocks and Bonds]]'', Ash used Pikachu as his second Pokémon in his [[Full Battle]] against {{ho|Katie}} in the Victory Tournament, part of the Ever Grande Conference. He went up against Katie's {{p|Golduck}}, and was sent out due to the type advantage he had. However, Katie immediately switched to her {{p|Dugtrio}}, who had a type-advantage of its own. Pikachu used Quick Attack, but Dugtrio used Dig to dodge the attack. Then, Dugtrio used {{m|Sand Tomb}}, creating a huge patch of quicksand. Pikachu tried to escape, but couldn't and got pulled by the sand. Ash had Pikachu use Thunderbolt, which had no effect on Dugtrio since it was a {{type|Ground}} Pokémon. Dugtrio used Double-Edge, and Pikachu attempted to block it with Iron Tail, but when both moves collided, Pikachu was knocked out, while Dugtrio emerged unharmed.

In ''[[AG130|Choose It or Lose It!]]'', Ash used Pikachu as his second Pokémon in his Full Battle against Morrison in the Ever Grande Conference. He went up against his {{p|Steelix}}.

He went up against Tyson's {{p|Metagross}}, who had already defeated Swellow and Grovyle, but had a crack in its armor as a result. Pikachu used Thunderbolt on the crack, but it didn't do much to Metagross. Metagross then used Psychic on Pikachu, but he was able to dodge it, and hit Metagross with Iron Tail. Pikachu then climbed onto Metagross, and as Metagross was unable to shake him off, Pikachu finally defeated the Iron Leg Pokémon with Thunder. After, Pikachu went up against Tyson's last Pokémon, his {{TP|Tyson|Meowth}}.
Pikachu's Thunderbolt and Thunder attacks soon proved to be useless, as Meowth each time defended itself against Pikachu's Electric-type attacks with its Thunderbolt. After realizing this, Ash had Pikachu fight close-range, and ordered him to use Quick Attack. However, Meowth dodged this with Double Team, and followed up with Iron Tail. Pikachu countered with his own Iron Tail, causing the moves to collide. Pikachu and Meowth started attacking unceasing, with each time their attacks colliding. Both Pokémon then used Iron Tail, with both Pokémon taking the hit, knocking them both down. Though initially both of them got up, Pikachu fainted from exhaustion, causing Ash to end up in the Top 8 of the Ever Grande Conference.

====Kanto Battle Frontier====
In ''[[AG132|The Scheme Team]]'', Ash used Pikachu in his battle against [[Elite Four]] [[Agatha]], and her {{TP|Agatha|Gengar}} at the [[Viridian Gym]]. Pikachu started off using Quick Attack, but failed since Gengar was a {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon. It was too fast for Pikachu's Thunderbolt, but after dodging a Shadow Ball, Pikachu was able to hit Gengar with an Iron Tail. Gengar then countered, and hit Pikachu with Shadow Ball, but Pikachu was able to climb on the Shadow Ball and went for Iron Tail. However, Gengar was able to prevent Pikachu from using Iron Tail with Double Team. Pikachu was able to destroy all the copies with Thunderbolt, as well as hit Gengar with it. Then, he dodged a Shadow Ball, and hit Gengar with Iron Tail. When Pikachu was about to finish Gengar off with Thunder, Gengar used {{m|Hypnosis}}, putting him to sleep. Gengar then proceeded to defeat him with {{m|Dream Eater}}. Afterwards, he helped to defeat Team Rocket along with Agatha's {{p|Golbat}. Later on, Ash decided to enter the [[Kanto]] {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}} along with Pikachu, and his other Pokémon. He was later reunited with Misty, when he and Ash returned to Pallet Town.

In ''[[AG150|May's Egg-Cellent Adventure]]'', while battling Team Rocket's mecha, he used Quick Attack, which morphed into {{m|Volt Tackle}}, easily destroying the mecha and blasting Team Rocket off. Despite this, Pikachu couldn't master the move. After lots of {{pkmn|training}}, Pikachu was finally able to master Volt Tackle in ''[[AG155|The Green Guardian]]'', using the move to blast Team Rocket off, and saving a wild {{p|Celebi}}.

In ''[[AG158|Queen of the Serpentine!]]'', when going to the {{DL|Battle Frontier (Generation III)|Battle Pike}}, Pikachu was captured by Team Rocket using their fake Battle Pike until rescued by {{FB|Pike Queen|Lucy}}, and her {{TP|Lucy|Seviper}} from the real Battle Pike. Later, Ash used Pikachu as his second and last Pokémon in his Battle Pike challenge against Lucy and her Milotic. Pikachu used Thunderbolt, but Lucy had Milotic take the attack, and countered with Hydro Pump. Both Pokémon then used Iron Tail, but Milotic managed to overpower Pikachu. Pikachu's Quick Attack was then countered by Twister, and he was then hit by Hydro Pump. Milotic used Iron Tail, but Pikachu countered with Volt Tackle, blocking Iron Tail, and paralyzing Milotic. Then, Pikachu used Quick Attack, but Milotic countered with a {{m|Facade}}, and since Milotic was paralyzed, its power was doubled, dealing major damage to Pikachu. Ash then had Pikachu use Thunderbolt on himself. As Milotic was about to end the match with Twister, Ash had Pikachu, who was boosted by Thunderbolt, jump into the Twister. Inside the Twister, Pikachu began spinning and used Volt Tackle, increasing his power, and proceeded to knock Milotic out, winning Ash the battle and earning him the [[Symbol#List of Symbols|Luck Symbol]].

In ''[[AG169|Talking a Good Game!]]'', Pikachu was the third Pokémon to battle against {{FB|Salon Maiden|Anabel}}. He went up against her Alakazam, who had already defeated Ash's previous two Pokémon. Pikachu managed to hit Alakazam with Thunderbolt, but Alakazam nullified the damage using Recover. Then, both Pokémon started exchanging Iron Tail and {{m|Focus Punch}} attacks, and then hit each other with Thunderbolt and Psybeam. Ash then ordered Pikachu to use Volt Tackle, but Pikachu ran straight towards the wall due to Psybeam's confusion effect. However, Pikachu managed to snap out of the confusion, after Ash had saved it, and managed to overpower Alakazam's Psybeam with Thunderbolt, defeating it. He went up against Metagross next. Metagross managed to sent Pikachu's Thunderbolt back at him using Psychic, dealing major damage. As Pikachu went for Quick Attack, Metagross used Iron Defense to deflect the attack, and hit Pikachu hard with {{m|Meteor Mash}}. Pikachu then used Volt Tackle, but Metagross fired a Hyper Beam, which defeated Pikachu, losing Ash the battle.

In [[AG170|the next episode]], Pikachu was used in Ash's rematch against Anabel, this time facing her {{p|Espeon}}. Espeon proved to have great speed and power, dodging Pikachu's attacks, and afterwards, immediately hit Pikachu with its own attacks. After getting hit by Espeon's Quick Attack and Iron Tail, Ash had Pikachu use Thunderbolt. Espeon's Zap Cannon managed to overpower Pikachu's attack, and hit him hard. Pikachu tried Thunderbolt once again, but it was avaoided. Espeon countered with Psychic, smashing Pikachu to the ceiling, causing Pikachu to fall down hard. However, Pikachu managed to land on his feet, and used Quick Attack. Espeon used Psychic again to stop Pikachu, and lifted him in the air. Pikachu managed to bounce off the ceiling, and landed on one of the stadium's lights. Pikachu then used Thunderbolt, causing the lights to turn off, blocking Espeon's vision. Unable to see anything, Espeon was hit by Pikachu's next Thunderbolt. Pikachu then managed to avoid several Zap Cannon attacks, and hit Espeon again with Thunderbolt. Just as the lights turned on again, Pikachu jumped down and hit Espeon hard with his Iron Tail. He then rushed towards Espeon using Volt Tackle. Despite trying to stop Pikachu using Zap Cannon, the attack missed and Espeon got [[Fainting|knocked out]] by the powerful attack. This gave Ash the win, and earned him the [[Symbol#List of Symbols|Ability Symbol]].

In ''[[AG189|Gathering the Gang of Four!]]'', in preparation for Ash's rematch against {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}} for his final frontier symbol, Pikachu reunited with Bulbasaur, Squirtle and Charizard. Using Quick Attack to round up leaves created by Squirtle's {{m|Rapid Spin}} and Bulbasaur's {{m|Vine Whip}}, they were able to make a den to sleep. Although he got in a fight with the other Pokémon, they later calmed down. The next day, they all continued to train. Pikachu was later captured by Team Rocket, but was rescued thanks to the efforts of Ash and the other Pokémon. They then combined their attacks to send Team Rocket blasting off. Afterwards, they met up with Brandon again, and he agreed to have a four-on-four rematch with Pikachu and the other Pokémon at the {{DL|Battle Frontier (Generation III)|Battle Pyramid}}.

Pikachu was the fourth and final Pokémon used in Ash's Battle Pyramid challenge against Pyramid King Brandon in ''[[AG190|Pace - The Final Frontier!]]''. After Charizard, Squirtle, Bulbasaur, and Brandon's first three Pokémon were eliminated from the match, Pikachu was pitted against [[Brandon's Regice]]. Ash first had Pikachu used Thunderbolt, but Regice seemed unfazed by the attack. Then, Regice countered with Blizzard. Pikachu quickly recovered, and used Iron Tail, but was unable to land since he had to dodge the Iceberg Pokémon's Ice Beam. Regice used Ice Beam again to counter Pikachu's Quick Attack, and despite Pikachu managing to dodge the attack again, the whole battle field got frozen in the process. This made Regice to move even quicker, while making it harder for Pikachu to move. As Regice was about to hit Pikachu with a Focus Punch, Pikachu was able to hit Regice with Thunderbolt, stunning it. This allowed Pikachu to hit Regice with a super-effective Iron Tail. However, Regice quickly recovered and used Ice Beam, creating ice pillars, which trapped Pikachu. With Pikachu being unable to do anything, Regice used Rest to heal itself completely. Despite Pikachu managing to escape using Iron Tail, Regice was able to wake up before Pikachu could attack it and hit him with an Ice Beam, {{status|Freeze|freezing}} him. While Ash was yelling words of encouragement, the referee began to declare Pikachu unable to battle. However, Pikachu managed to thaw out using Thunderbolt, while also hitting Regice in the process. Regice then hit Pikachu with Focus Punch, sending Pikachu bouncing across the ice field. However, Pikachu used this to his advantage and bounced back to Regice to hit it with two consecutive Iron Tails. However, Regice was still standing, and managed to trap Pikachu again between ice pillars using Ice Beam, and started to rest up again. Pikachu escaped again using Iron Tail, and charged towards Regice using Volt Tackle. Regice managed to awake in time again, and started using Ice Beam to stop Pikachu. However, Pikachu was alert, and dodged the attack, hitting Regice with a powerful Volt Tackle, finally knocking the {{pkmn|category|Iceberg Pokémon}} out. This gave Ash the win, and finally earned him his last Symbol, [[Symbol#List of Symbols|Brave Symbol]].

Pikachu used a close range Thunderbolt, which Electivire dodged by jumping. However, this was what Ash wanted, and had Pikachu use Volt Tackle since it was now defenseless. Suddenly, Electivire blocked the attack with {{m|Protect}}, damaging Pikachu due to recoil. Electivire then launched its powerful Thunder Punch, defeating Pikachu. Later, Pikachu went with Ash to Sinnoh, intending for him to be the only Pokémon to go with him, as he left his other Pokémon at Professor Oak's laboratory. However, {{AP|Aipom}} snuck on their ship, and Ash surprised at first, allowed her to accompany them to Sinnoh.

Eventually, in ''[[DP002|Two Degrees of Separation!]]'', {{an|Dawn}} found Pikachu and tried to catch him, but failed since he already had a Trainer. She also protected him from Team Rocket and managed to blast Team Rocket off alongside with him. Pikachu was eventually reunited with Ash in ''[[DP003|When Pokémon Worlds Collide!]]''. Later, he was used as Ash's final Pokémon in a battle against Ash's new rival, [[Paul]], and his {{TP|Paul|Elekid}}. Pikachu started off using Thunderbolt, but Elekid simply absorbed the attack and then launched a powerful Thunder at him. Pikachu then used Volt Tackle, but Elekid blocked the attack using Protect, causing him to take recoil damage. Pikachu, however, managed to get up and used Iron Tail, which was countered by Elekid's {{m|Brick Break}}. As the two moves were colliding, Paul mentioned Elekid still had one free arm and ordered it to hit Pikachu with Thunder Punch. Pikachu, however, managed to block Thunder Punch with Iron Tail and then hit Elekid hard. Elekid then managed to hit Pikachu with one more Brick Break, but as both Pokémon were exhausted they both fell down, resulting the battle in a tie.

However, Cranidos was able to withstand the attack and used Headbutt. Although Pikachu managed to dodge and attempted to use Thunderbolt, Cranidos still managed to score a direct hit on him. Pikachu then tried to use Thunderbolt again, but Cranidos used Zen Headbutt to stop him and then used another Headbutt to knock him to the ground. When Paul got up to leave, believing Ash had already lost, Pikachu suddenly showed his strength by letting off a powerful electric attack in the air, causing Paul to stay. As the battle continued, Pikachu used Quick Attack, while Cranidos used Flamethrower. Pikachu dodged the attack and hit Cranidos with Iron Tail. Cranidos then used {{m|Head Smash}}, while Pikachu countered with Volt Tackle. The collision of these attacks caused much damage to both Pokémon. Not wanting Pikachu to take any more damage, Ash recalled him.
Later, Pikachu was sent out again to battle Roark's Onix. Pikachu used Iron Tail, which was countered by Onix's Slam. Ash then came up with an idea and had Pikachu use Thunderbolt on the battlefield, causing rocks to be launched in the air. Onix tried heading forwards using Double-Edge, but couldn't due to the rocks. Pikachu then headed towards Onix using Quick Attack, but Onix quickly recovered and countered with {{m|Screech}}. Despite trying to still move forwards, Pikachu was overwhelmed by the attack and was blasted away, knocking him out and making Ash lose the battle.

In ''[[DP018|O'er the Rampardos We Watched!]]'', Pikachu was Ash's first Pokémon used in his rematch against Roark, where he faced Roark's Onix again.

Onix then used {{m|Stealth Rock}}, but the move was countered by Pikachu's Thunderbolt, preventing it from being executed as well as damaging Onix. Pikachu then used Iron Tail and while Onix tried countering with Screech, he managed to outspeed the Rock Snake Pokémon and defeated it. Pikachu was recalled when Roark sent out his Geodude.
Pikachu was later sent out to battle Roark's {{p|Rampardos}}. Pikachu used Thunderbolt, but Rampardos dodged and went for Zen Headbutt. Pikachu tried dodging the attack using his spin technique again, but still got hurt in the process. He then used Quick Attack, while Rampardos countered with Headbutt. Pikachu managed to avoid Headbutt by spinning head over heels, but got thrown in the air by Rampardos's tail. Pikachu then headed down using Iron Tail with Rampardos countering with Zen Headbutt. This caused Pikachu's Static to activate, but it was cancelled out by Rampardos's {{a|Mold Breaker}}. Rampardos then hit Pikachu hard with Zen Headbutt, knocking him out.

In ''[[DP026|Getting the Pre-Contest Titters!]]'', Ash used Pikachu in a battle against {{si|Kenny}} and his {{TP|Kenny|Prinplup}}. Pikachu started off using Thunderbolt, but the attack was blocked by Prinplup's Metal Claw.

In ''[[DP050|Tag! We're It...!]]'', Pikachu was used in the first round of the [[Hearthome City Tag Battle Competition]], where he battled alongside [[Paul's Chimchar]]. Pikachu and Chimchar faced a Rhydon and a Magmar. Pikachu started off using Thunderbolt on Magmar, but the attack got redirected to Rhydon due to its {{a|Lightning Rod}} Ability. Unharmed by the Electric-type attack, Rhydon proceeded to hit Pikachu hard with {{m|Megahorn}}. Magmar then used {{m|Lava Plume}}, dealing minor damage Rhydon. While Pikachu managed to dodge the attack, Paul had Chimchar jump right in to power up its {{type|Fire}} moves. Despite this, Chimchar's Flamethrower did little damage to Rhydon and Chimchar got hit by a powerful {{m|Hammer Arm}}. Pikachu then managed to hit Rhydon with a super-effective Iron Tail, dealing much damage. Rhydon then used {{m|Surf}}, while Magmar protected itself with Protect. Pikachu, however, managed to break through the Surf and defeat Rhydon using Iron Tail. Pikachu then used Volt Tackle, while Magmar countered with Fire Punch. This gave Chimchar the opportunity to hit Magmar with a super-effective Dig, knocking it out and causing Ash and Paul to proceed to the next round of the tournament.

In ''[[DP056|The Keystone Pops!]]'', Ash and Pikachu tried stopping a wild {{p|Spiritomb}} from rampaging, after the gang accidentally destroyed the [[Hallowed Tower]], thus freeing Spiritomb from the [[Odd Keystone]].

He then used Volt Tackle, which was countered by Staraptor's {{m|Wing Attack}}, causing both Pokémon to fall down. In the end however, only Pikachu remained standing, giving Ash the win.

In ''[[DP074|Pika and Goliath!]]'', an arrogant Electric-type trainer named [[Sho]] wished Ash to trade Pikachu to him, as he already had a Pichu and {{p|Raichu}} and wanted to have the full evolution line in his team. Ash obviously refused, so Sho challenged him to a battle against his powerful Raichu. Unlike Lt. Surge's Raichu, this particular Raichu was fast as well as knew powerful attacks. Pikachu's Thunderbolt was easily taken by Raichu, who then proceeded to launch Thunder at Pikachu. Pikachu unwilling to dodge, took the attack and charged in using Volt Tackle. Raichu countered with its own Volt Tackle, sending both Pokémon flying back. Raichu managed to land back on its feet, while Pikachu crashed into a rock. Both Pokémon then clashed with Iron Tail. Raichu then managed to take Pikachu's Quick Attack and started using Hyper Beam. As Pikachu was trying to get away, Raichu used its tail to trap Pikachu and proceeded to hit him with a close-range Hyper Beam, defeating him as well as seriously injuring him.
During his recovery, Pikachu began to reconsider his earlier decision not to evolve since there would always be attacks and abilities that he simply couldn't learn otherwise. When Ash went to check on Pikachu he found both Pikachu and his Thunder Stone missing, causing him to think Pikachu may had evolved into Raichu. However, he soon found Pikachu training in the forest, trying to get stronger without evolving.

After some hard training, Ash and Pikachu re-challenged Sho and Raichu. Raichu started off using Iron Tail, but Pikachu managed to constantly dodge its attacks by circling around. However, Raichu eventually managed to hit Pikachu and threw him in the air. While he was heading down Pikachu used Iron Tail to counter Raichu's Volt Tackle. Raichu then went for another Volt Tackle, but Pikachu dodged it by spinning. Pikachu then circled around again to avoid Raichu's Iron Tail attacks, causing Raichu to lose its footing. This gave Pikachu the opportunity to hit it hard with a Quick Attack. Pikachu then proceeded to dodge Raichu's attacks and immediately after hit it with its own moves, dealing much damage. Raichu, however, was still standing and managed to trap Pikachu with its tail again, while charging Hyper Beam. As Hyper Beam was launched, Pikachu used Thunderbolt to block Hyper Beam, decreasing its power. As Raichu had to recharge, Pikachu proceeded to hit Raichu with a Volt Tackle-Iron Tail combination, dealing major damage. Pikachu and Raichu then clashed with Volt Tackle, proving to be equal in power. Pikachu then avoided Raichu's Iron Tail and flung it into a tree using Iron Tail. Raichu then tried trapping Pikachu again while using Hyper Beam, but Pikachu dodged its tail and used Hyper Beam's power to jump high in the air. Pikachu then headed down using a spinning Iron Tail and finally knocked Raichu out, proving he had once again made the right decision not to evolve.

In ''[[DP083|A Crasher Course in Power!]]'', Pikachu and {{AP|Buizel}} got into a fight after Buizel got accidentally hit by Pikachu's Thunderbolt while training. Later, Pikachu was the first Pokémon used in Ash's [[Pastoria Gym]] battle. He went up against [[Crasher Wake]]'s Gyarados. Pikachu used Thunderbolt and scored a direct hit on Gyarados, but despite the super-effective attack, Gyarados was unharmed. Gyarados used {{m|Dragon Rage}}, but Pikachu blocked it with Iron Tail and used the strike to jump above Gyarados. Gyarados charged in with Bite, but Pikachu, while still in mid-air, used Volt Tackle, hitting Gyarados to the face and knocking it out. He was recalled after Crasher Wake sent out {{p|Quagsire}}.
Later, after Buizel was recalled, Pikachu went up again against {{p|Floatzel}}. He used Thunderbolt, but Floatzel countered with {{m|Whirlpool}}. The collision caused electrified water droplets to fall on Buizel, curing his confusion. Pikachu used Volt Tackle, but Floatzel overpowered it and damaged him with {{m|Razor Wind}}. Pikachu then got hit by {{m|Ice Fang}}, causing a part of his back to get frozen. Pikachu was then recalled after Buizel wanted to fight again. As they passed each other they exchanged high-fives and Buizel broke the ice on Pikachu's back with Water Gun, settling their quarrel.

At first, Pikachu was shy to go on stage wearing the outfit Ash had designed for him, but after hearing some encouraging words from Ash, he overcame his moment of shyness and went on stage to perform. He used his Thunderbolt attack to light up the [[Contest Hall|hall]], captivating the judges' attention. [[Hermione]] commented that, although Ash didn't quite get it what it means to be a Pokémon Stylist, he was at least making an effort to show off his Pokémon, instead of focusing solely on the clothing aspect. For this reason, Pikachu was among the three finalists, along with [[Dawn's Buneary]] and [[Cocoa]]'s {{p|Mismagius}}. When the results were announced, it was revealed that Ash and Pikachu ended up in third place, receiving the Unique Award for their original costumes and performance.

In ''[[DP093|Playing The Leveling Field!]]'', Pikachu was used in an unofficial battle against the [[Hearthome City]] Gym Leader [[Fantina]]. Pikachu faced her {{TP|Fantina|Drifloon}}, who had already defeated Buizel and put Chimchar to sleep. After getting hit by {{m|Will-O-Wisp}}, Pikachu hit Drifloon with a super-effective Thunderbolt. He then used Volt Tackle, but Drifloon countered with {{m|Ominous Wind}}, stopping Pikachu and blowing him back. He then managed to hit Drifloon with another Thunderbolt, but this triggered Drifloon to evolve into {{p|Drifblim}}. Drifblim managed to dodge Pikachu's Thunderbolt and followed up with Hypnosis, putting him to sleep. With two of his Pokémon sleeping Ash decided to forfeit the match.

In ''[[DP101|Barry's Busting Out All Over!]]'', Ash used Pikachu as his final Pokémon in a three-on-three battle against {{an|Barry}}, where he faced [[Barry's Empoleon]]. Ash ordered Pikachu to use Thunderbolt, but Pikachu was forced to dodge Empoleon's {{m|Hydro Cannon}}. Empoleon then used Steel Wing, which clashed with Pikachu's Iron Tail. While continuously exchanging Steel Wings and Iron Tails, Pikachu eventually got hit, knocking him back. While struggling to get back up, Empoleon fired a Hyper Beam at Pikachu, launching him in the air. When it seemed to be over, Ash's words of encouragement managed to get through and Pikachu was able to hit Empoleon with a super-effective Thunderbolt. He then hit Empoleon with a powerful Volt Tackle, knocking it out.

In ''[[DP102|Shield with a Twist!]]'', Pikachu was Ash's third Pokémon in his [[Hearthome Gym]] battle. He went up against Fantina's Drifblim. Pikachu used a Thunderbolt [[Counter Shield]], hurting Drifblim as well as paralyzing it. Drifblim, however, immediately blew the electricity away with Psychic. Drifblim then used a combination of Will-O-Wisp and Psychic to create a Counter Shield of its own. Pikachu used Counter Shield again, but it was overwhelmed as Drifblim's lasted longer due to it being supported by Psychic. Drifblim's Counter Shield then surrounded Pikachu, causing him to be unable to use Thunderbolt. Drifblim then proceeded to hit Pikachu with Hypnosis, putting him to sleep, and finished him off with Ominous Wind.

In ''[[DP124|To Thine Own Pokémon Be True!]]'', Pikachu was Ash's partner in a [[Pokémon Ping Pong Tournament]]. In the first round they faced [[Wilkinson]] and his {{p|Farfetch'd}}. Despite putting up a good match, Ash and Pikachu got eliminated.

Despite managing to push through and destroy multiple rocks, Pikachu was eventually thrown back after crashing in one of the rocks and got immediately after damaged by his burn. Magmortar then used Smog, but Pikachu blocked it using his Thunderbolt Counter Shield. After taking more burn damage, Pikachu dodged Magmortar's Flamethrower and struck Magmortar with an Iron Tail, only to take burn damage again after. He was then recalled.

[[File:Ash Pikachu Static.png|thumb|left|250px|Static activated]]
Later, he went up against Paul's very powerful {{TP|Paul|Ursaring}}. Pikachu hit Ursaring with Quick Attack, but the Hibernator Pokémon managed to take it and hit Pikachu hard with Hammer Arm. The physical contact activated Pikachu's Static, paralyzing Ursaring, giving Pikachu the opportunity to hit it with Iron Tail. The paralysis, however, activated Ursaring's {{a|Guts}} Ability, greatly increasing Ursaring's Attack. Pikachu tried stopping Ursaring with Thunderbolt, but it managed to push through and slammed him into [[Lake Acuity]] with an extremely powerful Hammer Arm, taking him out of the match as well as injuring him. This defeat meant that Ash had to defeat Paul's remaining five Pokémon with only Chimchar.

Pikachu and {{OBP|Daniel|DP160}}'s {{p|Snorlax}} quickly managed to take the lead and after racing neck-to-neck with Snorlax, Snorlax's large belly passed the finish line first. This meant Daniel had won the Pokéathlon with Ash ending up in second place.

Later, in ''[[DP165|Flint Sparks the Fire!]]'', Pikachu was used in a battle against [[Sinnoh Elite Four]] member {{ef|Flint}}. He faced [[Flint's Infernape]], who had already defeated Ash's Buizel and his Infernape. Pikachu first used Quick Attack, but Infernape simply took the attack and used {{m|Flare Blitz}}. Pikachu countered with Volt Tackle, causing an explosion. Infernape and Pikachu then clashed with {{m|Mach Punch}} and Iron Tail, but Infernape overpowered Pikachu sending him flying into a wall. Infernape then hit Pikachu hard with {{m|Close Combat}} and slammed him down to the ground. Before hitting the ground, Pikachu still managed to hit Infernape with Thunderbolt. Infernape then headed downwards using Flare Blitz, being unable to dodge Pikachu was hit hard by the Fire-type move. Pikachu, however, still didn't give up and used Quick Attack. Infernape took the attack again and used this chance to knock him back with Close Combat. Pikachu then used Thunderbolt, but Infernape countered with Flare Blitz, breaking through the attack and hitting him hard. Pikachu and Infernape then clashed with Volt Tackle and Mach Punch, causing an explosion, knocking Pikachu to the ground. As Pikachu went for one more Volt Tackle, Infernape countered with Thunder Punch, causing another explosion. As the smoke cleared both Pokémon were still standing, but eventually Pikachu fell down, giving Flint the win.

In ''[[DP179|The Eighth Wonder of the Sinnoh World!]]'', Pikachu battled against [[Volkner]]'s {{p|Electivire}}. Pikachu first launched a Quick Attack, which Electivire dodged. Electivire then launched a Fire Punch and {{m|Ice Punch}}, both of which were dodged. After dodging these attacks Pikachu had hit Electivire with two Thunderbolts, which Electivire absorbed due to its Ability {{a|Motor Drive}}, increasing its Speed. Due to its increased Speed, it dodged Iron Tail with ease and managed to hit Pikachu with Fire Punch. Electivire then hit Pikachu with Ice Punch, which activated Pikachu's Static, paralyzing Electivire as well as slowing it down. Due to Electivire's paralysis, Pikachu was able to dodge an Ice Punch and countered another one with Iron Tail. As Electivire went for another Ice Punch, Pikachu managed to outspeed the Thunderbolt Pokémon and defeat it with Iron Tail. Pikachu was then recalled. He later went up against Volkern's {{p|Luxray}}. His Quick Attack was stopped by {{m|Shock Wave}}, knocking him back. Pikachu then launched three successful Iron Tails but the fourth was countered by {{m|Thunder Fang}}, which overpowered Pikachu. He was then knocked out by Luxray's Shock Wave.

In the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]], Ash used Pikachu as his first Pokémon in his battle against Paul in ''[[DP186|Familiarity Breeds Strategy!]]''. He was used against Paul's {{p|Aggron}}. First he and Aggron clashed with Iron Tail and Metal Claw, proving to be equal in power. Aggron then countered with {{m|Metal Sound}}, hurting Pikachu's ears. Pikachu managed to stop Aggron with Thunderbolt and headed forwards using Volt Tackle. This attack, however, was stopped by Aggron's {{m|Flash Cannon}}, dealing much damage. Pikachu was then recalled in place of Infernape. [[DP187|Later]] Pikachu was used again in Ash's battle against Paul, this time facing Paul's {{p|Froslass}}. Froslass started off using {{m|Hail}}, activating her {{a|Snow Cloak}} Ability, making it hard to keep track of Froslass's movements. As Pikachu kept getting attacked by his opponent, he tried countering with Thunderbolt. The falling hail, however, protected Froslass from Thunderbolt, giving Froslass the chance to hit Pikachu hard with an {{m|Ice Shard}}. Pikachu then tried attacking with Volt Tackle, only to be easily dodged by the Snow Land Pokémon. As Froslass went for another Ice Shard to finish Pikachu off, Pikachu managed to avoid it by jumping and hit Froslass with a super-effective Iron Tail. Due to the large amount of damage Froslass had taken, the hail disappeared. Froslass then went for an Ice Beam, freezing Pikachu. As Froslass was about to finish Pikachu off with Ice Shard, Pikachu managed to thaw out with Volt Tackle and knocked the Snow Land Pokémon out. This gave Pikachu his first win against one of Paul's Pokémon and also gave Ash the lead in the battle. He was then once again recalled. During [[DP188|the continuation of their battle]], Ash sent Pikachu out to battle Paul's Electivire. Electivire started off by using Thunder on the battle field, launching rocks at Pikachu. Pikachu, however, managed to maneuver through the rocks with Quick Attack and strike Electivire with a direct hit on the head. Electivire, however, quickly recovered and grabbed Pikachu with its tails. As Pikachu tried using Iron Tail, Electivire smacked him to the ground. Using these movements however, Pikachu managed to escape from Electivire's grip. Pikachu and Electivire then clashed with Quick Attack and Brick Break, pushing both Pokémon back. Pikachu then went for Volt Tackle. Electivire blocked the attack, activating its Motor Drive Ability. It then went for a speedy Thunder Punch, but this was countered by Pikachu's Iron Tail. Both attacks, however, proved to be equal in power making Pikachu unable to move. This gave Electivire the opportunity to use Brick Break with its other arm, knocking Pikachu out.

In ''[[DP189|The Semi-Final Frontier!]]'', Pikachu was the last Pokémon chosen by Ash to battle {{si|Tobias}} in the semi-finals of the Lily of the Valley Conference. Despite Ash losing five of his Pokémon, Pikachu tried his best to defeat Tobias's {{p|Latios}}. In the beginning almost none of his attacks hit or did any damage to Latios and his attacks got easily overwhelmed by Latios's powerful attacks. However, Pikachu finally managed to jump on top of Latios and used Thunderbolt to severely damage Latios. Latios then used Light Screen, reducing the damage caused by Thunderbolt. Despite this Pikachu kept using Thunderbolt until he was shaken off. As Pikachu was about to land, Latios used {{m|Luster Purge}}. Pikachu used Volt Tackle and Iron Tail, taking against the force of the Luster Purge, causing a massive explosion. In the end, however, both he and Latios fainted. As Ash's last Pokémon had fainted, Tobias was crowned the winner of their battle, placing Ash in the Top 4 of the Lily of the Valley Conference.

In ''[[DP191|Memories are Made of Bliss!]]'', Pikachu helped search for {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}}, when he had run away. Upon finding Piplup, both Pokémon broke down in tears, since they soon had to say goodbye to each other. Then Team Rocket appeared, but Pikachu and Piplup managed to blast them off with a Volt Tackle and Hydro Pump combination. Later, Pikachu said goodbye to Dawn and Piplup, before he, Ash and Brock boarded the ship heading to [[Kanto]]. Upon arriving in Kanto, Pikachu and Ash finally bade farewell to Brock too and the two continued on towards Pallet Town.

==={{series|Best Wishes}}===
====Unova====
Ash decided to just bring Pikachu to [[Unova]] with him, just as he did in Hoenn. In ''[[BW001|In The Shadow of Zekrom!]]'', Pikachu joined Ash, [[Delia]] and Professor Oak on a trip to the Unova region. Upon arriving in Unova, Pikachu had an encounter with {{p|Zekrom}}, which unaware by Ash, caused him to lose his ability to use Electric-type moves. Ash finally noticed this during his battle against [[Trip]] and his {{TP|Trip|Snivy}}. After scoring a direct hit with Quick Attack and avoiding Snivy's Tackle, Pikachu tried to use Thunderbolt, but was unable to and got hit by a Tackle. Unable to use Thunderbolt again, he went for Volt Tackle, but failed to use this move as well, wearing Pikachu out greatly. Noticing Pikachu's inability of using Electric-type moves, Ash ordered Pikachu to use Iron Tail. This attack, however, was dodged by Snivy, who then proceeded to defeat the exhausted Pikachu with {{m|Leaf Tornado}}. In [[BW002|the next episode]], Pikachu recovered his Electric-type moves.

In ''[[BW005|Triple Leaders, Team Threats!]]'', Ash used Pikachu in his second battle at the [[Striaton Gym]], where he faced [[Cress]] and his {{TP|Cress|Panpour}}. Pikachu's Quick Attack was countered with Double Team, he was then hit by Scratch. After dodging Water Gun, Pikachu tried to use Thunderbolt, but Panpour aimed Water Gun at his feet, causing him to slip. He was then attacked by multiple Water Gun and Scratch attacks. Pikachu got up and attempted to use Volt Tackle, but this was stopped with {{m|Mud Sport}}. Panpour then finished him off with a Water Gun.

In ''[[BW010|A Rival Battle for Club Champ!]]'', he battled Trip's {{p|Tranquill}}, who had already taken out [[Ash's Oshawott]] and {{AP|Tepig}}. After his Thunderbolt was dodged, Pikachu took a beating from multiple {{m|Work Up}}-boosted Aerial Aces. As Pikachu was about to be finished off, he managed to grab Tranquill's foot. He then threw Tranquill in the air and defeated it with Volt Tackle. He then battled Snivy again, who had evolved into Servine. Pikachu first used Iron Tail, which collided with Servine's {{m|Cut}}, but was then hit by Servine's Leaf Tornado. Pikachu stood up and went for Volt Tackle. Servine, however, managed to strike the running Pikachu with Cut, knocking him out.

In ''[[BW013|Minccino—Neat and Tidy!]]'', Pikachu was used in a battle against {{an|Bianca}} and her {{TP|Bianca|Pignite}}. As Pikachu headed forwards he got hit by Pignite's Take Down, followed up by a powerful {{m|Heat Crash}}. Pikachu managed to get up and countered Pignite's {{m|Flame Charge}} with Volt Tackle. After both Pokémon got blown back by the collision, only Pikachu remained standing, giving Ash the win.

In ''[[BW020|Dancing With the Ducklett Trio!]]'', a trio of troublemaking {{p|Ducklett}} stole [[Ash's hat]] and [[Sunglasses Sandile|Sandile]]'s sunglasses. Pikachu assisted Sandile in defeating them. After unintentionally shocking himself with Thunderbolt, because he was stuck in a beach umbrella, Pikachu couldn't use Electric-type attacks. Eventually his anger caused him to learn {{m|Electro Ball}} and blasted the Ducklett off with his new move as well as recovering his ability to use Electric-type moves. Later on, he battled against the Sunglasses Sandile. Pikachu got hit by {{m|Stone Edge}}, but immediately countered with Quick Attack. As Pikachu used Iron Tail, Sandile used Dig to avoid getting hit and hit Pikachu hard. Sandile then used another Dig, hitting Pikachu again. As Pikachu had trouble getting up, Sandile suddenly evolved into {{p|Krokorok}}. Krokorok then went for Stone Edge, but Pikachu used Electro Ball to deflect Stone Edge back at Krokorok, defeating it and blasting it off.

In ''[[BW023|Battling For The Love of Bug-Types!]]'', Ash used Pikachu as his last Pokémon in his [[Castelia Gym]] battle, where he went up against [[Burgh]]'s {{p|Leavanny}}. Pikachu used Thunderbolt, which was dodged. He then used Iron Tail, but this was blocked by Leavanny's Protect. Leavanny's {{m|Leaf Storm}} was countered by Pikachu's Thunderbolt, but it then used {{m|String Shot}} on Pikachu, binding him, making him unable to dodge Leaf Storm and causing him to lose his balance. Unable to break free from the strings he was hit by Leaf Storm again. He then tried a Thunderbolt but missed due to his loss of balance. He was then hit by a powerful Hyper Beam, but refused to give up. When Leavanny used Leaf Storm, Pikachu spun and charged into the Leaf Storm, cutting the threads. Pikachu then dodged Leavanny's String Shot's with Quick Attack. After countering another String Shot with Thunderbolt, he hit Leavanny with Iron Tail and finished the Nurturing Pokémon off with Electro Ball, earning Ash the {{badge|Insect}}.

In ''[[BW042|Club Battle Finale: A Hero's Outcome!]]'', Ash used Pikachu in the final round of the [[Club Battle]] against {{an|Iris}}. Pikachu went up against [[Iris's Excadrill]]. Ash had Pikachu start off with an ineffective Thunderbolt to show they were getting serious. Pikachu and Excadrill then collided with Quick Attack and {{m|Drill Run}}, but Excadrill immediately turned and grabbed Pikachu's tail. He then threw Pikachu in the air and hit him hard with Metal Claw. Pikachu then went for Iron Tail. Excadrill tried countering with Metal Claw, but Pikachu managed to dodge it and hit him hard. After a collision between Pikachu's Electro Ball and Excadrill's {{m|Focus Blast}}, Excadrill used Dig to hit Pikachu from beneath, launching him in the air spinning. Pikachu, however, kept spinning and used this to hit Excadrill with an extra powerful Iron Tail. Pikachu then went for Iron Tail, but got overpowered by Drill Run. He then barely dodged a Dig, but was then unable to dodge Excadrill's Focus Blast, knocking him out, making Iris the winner of the tournament.

In ''[[BW050|Dazzling the Nimbasa Gym!]]'', when Ash was in doubt for what Pokémon he should use after his two Pokémon were defeated in his Gym battle against [[Elesa]], Pikachu shocked Ash to convince him to use him. He went up against Elesa's powerful {{p|Emolga}}. After both Pokémon's Electro Balls collided, Pikachu defeated the Sky Squirrel Pokémon with a single Quick Attack. Pikachu then faced Elesa's {{p|Tynamo}}. Despite her not looking very strong, Tynamo proved to be a tough opponent, using speedy and strong Tackles to hit Pikachu hard. Tynamo managed to slam Pikachu into the ground. While stuck in the ground he was unable to defend himself against Tynamo's countless Tackles. Pikachu eventually managed to break free and started using Thunderbolt on the battle field. The now rocky field forced Tynamo to face Pikachu head on only. Tynamo then dashed forwards using Tackle. Pikachu had Tynamo come close and then launched a powerful Iron Tail, defeating her thus winning Ash the {{Badge|Bolt}}.

In ''[[BW052|Ash Versus the Champion!]]'', Pikachu was used in a battle against the [[Unova League]] {{pkmn|Champion}} [[Alder]], where he faced his {{p|Bouffalant}}. Pikachu hit Bouffalant with all his attacks, but it absorbed the hits with its afro. Alder, however, didn't give any orders, causing Bouffalant to get angry. It was then revealed Alder was sleeping. After he was woken up, Alder ordered Bouffalant to use {{m|Head Charge}}, but Bouffalant still angry at him used the attack on him instead. The battle was then called off.

In ''[[BW059|Stopping the Rage of Legends! Part 1]]'', Pikachu teamed up with [[Cilan's Stunfisk]] to battle {{p|Tornadus}} and {{p|Thundurus}}. Stunfisk used its amazing jumping ability to get them both into the air so that they could launch a Thunderbolt—Thunder Shock combination at the two legendary Pokémon. Later, in ''[[BW060|Stopping the Rage of Legends! Part 2]]'', Pikachu helped rescue the {{an|Forces of Nature}} from Team Rocket.

In ''[[BW068|An Amazing Aerial Battle!]]'', Ash used Pikachu against [[Skyla]]'s {{p|Unfezant}} in his [[Mistralton Gym]] battle. After dodging Pikachu's Electro Ball, Unfezant used {{m|Air Slash}}, which managed to hit Pikachu. As Unfezant then headed towards Pikachu using Aerial Ace, Pikachu lured him in to hit him hard with Iron Tail. Unfezant was then finished off by Electro Ball. Pikachu stayed in the battle to fight Skyla's last Pokémon, {{TP|Skyla|Swanna}}. Despite Swanna major Electric weakness, Pikachu's Electric-type moves proved to be useless, as Swanna used {{m|Aqua Ring}} to protect itself against them. Pikachu then used Iron Tail, but Swanna ascended and dodged the attack. Ash then had the idea to have Pikachu jump on the rings above the battle field, while using Quick Attack, to get close to Swanna and managed to hit the White Bird Pokémon hard. Swanna, however, quickly recovered and hit Pikachu with Bubble Beam, knocking him to the ground. Pikachu was then hit by a powerful {{m|Hurricane}} and got finished off by a brutal Brave Bird.

In ''[[BW069|Climbing the Tower of Success!]]'', Ash and Pikachu entered the [[Wishing Bell Festival]]. By working together they managed to reach the final round, where they had to climb [[Mistralton Tower]] while protecting the flame of their {{p|Litwick}} candle. Despite Pikachu doing his best to protect the candle from a bunch of {{p|Pidove}}'s attacks, [[Stephan]]'s Litwick 'candle' blew out Ash's candle, causing Ash to end up in second place.

In ''[[BW084|Rocking the Virbank Gym! Part 2]]'', Ash chose Pikachu as his final Pokémon in his Gym battle with [[Roxie]]. He faced Roxie's strongest Pokémon, {{p|Garbodor}}, who had already beaten Ash's Pignite and {{AP|Palpitoad}}. Garbodor started off using Double Slap, but Pikachu used his swift movements to dodge Garbodor's long arms, causing them to tangle up. Pikachu used this opportunity to hit Garbodor hard with Quick Attack. Garbodor then attacked by swinging its arms at Pikachu, but he managed to dodge again and shocked the Trash Heap Pokémon with a powerful Thunderbolt. As Pikachu went for an Iron Tail, Garbodor knocked him back with its arms and followed up with several {{m|Gunk Shot}}s. Cornered by these attacks, Pikachu got caught by Garbodor's arms and was then hit by a series of Double Slaps. He was then hit by Gunk Shot, {{status|poison}}ing him. Roxie then ordered Garbodor to finish Pikachu off with {{m|Venoshock}}, but due to all the [[physical move|physical contact]] Pikachu had made with Garbodor, Pikachu's Static Ability had activated, paralyzing Garbodor. Pikachu used this opportunity to hit Garbodor with Thunderbolt, but it was able to withstand it and used Venoshock. Pikachu, however, overpowered the attack with Electro Ball and hit Garbodor, knocking it out, making Ash victorious and earning him his eighth and final Unova Badge, the {{badge|Toxic}}, thus allowing him to enter the Unova League.

In ''[[BW093|Goodbye, Junior Cup - Hello Adventure!]]'', Pikachu was used in one final battle against Dawn, before she headed to Johto. He faced her {{TP|Dawn|Quilava}}. Pikachu used Quick Attack, taking hits from Quilava's Swift, before his attack was dodged. Quilava then used {{m|Flame Wheel}}, which he dodged in time. Pikachu fired off an Electro Ball, which collided with Quilava's Flamethrower. Quilava then used {{m|Smokescreen}}, but Pikachu's Thunderbolt pierced through the smoke and he then attacked with Iron Tail. Quilava, however, countered with Flamethrower, overpowering Pikachu. Both Pokémon kept exchanging attacks, with Quilava's Swift being deflected by Pikachu's Iron Tail and a collision between Thunderbolt and Flamethrower. Pikachu and Quilava collided once more, with Quick Attack and Flame Wheel, knocking both Pokémon back. The battle was then called off by [[Cynthia]].

In ''[[BW096|Meloetta and the Undersea Temple!]]'', Ash and Pikachu battled {{an|Giovanni}} and his {{TP|Giovanni|Persian}}, trying to protect {{an|Meloetta}}. Pikachu outsped Persian's {{m|Shadow Claw}} and scored a hit with Iron Tail. Persian, however, immediately followed up with {{m|Power Gem}}, defeating Pikachu. Giovanni then successfully captured Meloetta, and took it, along with the imprisoned Ash and Pikachu, to the [[Abyssal Ruins]]. In [[BW097|the next episode]], Pikachu managed to break Team Rocket's force field prison by striking it repeatedly with Iron Tail, freeing both Ash and himself. Later, during the battle against the mind-controlled [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Forces of Nature|Therian Forme]] Forces of Nature, as Thundurus aimed a Thunder attack at [[Iris's Dragonite]] and Iris stepped in its way to protect her Pokémon, Pikachu jumped in, and absorbed the massive blast of electricity himself. This gave Pikachu a tremendous power boost, as seen later, when Ash told Pikachu to use Electro Ball on Team Rocket. The supercharged attack grew into amazingly massive proportions, inflicting notable damage on the Abyssal Ruins, sending Team Rocket flying, and freeing Meloetta.

In ''[[BW103|Curtain Up, Unova League!]]'', Ash used Pikachu in the preliminary round of the [[Vertress Conference]] against Trip's Serperior.

In ''[[BW104|Mission: Defeat Your Rival!]]'', Pikachu continued his battle with Serperior. Pikachu managed to stand up, but got immediately hit by an {{m|Energy Ball}}. Pikachu then managed to dodge a Dragon Tail, but got hit by another one. Serperior then proceeded to grab Pikachu with {{m|Wrap}}. While in Serperior's grasp, Pikachu hit him with Thunderbolt, but Trip quickly had Serperior anchor his tail in the ground, conducting the electricity to the ground, preventing damage. Serperior then tightened his grip, causing Pikachu to lose consciousness. When Serperior was about to finish Pikachu off by slamming him to the ground, Pikachu was awoken by Ash's voice and managed to escape from Serperior's grip by using Iron Tail on the ground. Pikachu's Iron Tail was then countered and overpowered by Serperior's Dragon Tail. Pikachu, however, still didn't give in and used an Electro Ball-Iron Tail combination, which clashed with Dragon Tail, causing a huge explosion. After the smoke cleared only Pikachu remained standing, giving Ash the win as well as his first win against Trip.

In ''[[BW107|Cameron's Secret Weapon!]]'', Ash used Pikachu against {{un|Cameron}}'s {{p|Samurott}}. Samurott blocked Pikachu's Thunderbolt with {{m|Razor Shell}}. Pikachu then went for Quick Attack, but he was overwhelmed by Samurott's Razor Shell and was then hit by a powerful Hydro Cannon. Pikachu then dodged a Megahorn and used Quick Attack. He managed to dodge Razor Shell and hit Samurott hard with Quick Attack, followed up by a powerful Iron Tail. Samurott then blocked an Electro Ball with Razor Shell, but Pikachu immediately followed up with Iron Tail, defeating the Formidable Pokémon. Pikachu stayed in to battle Cameron's Swanna. Swanna started off using a series of {{m|Pluck}} attacks, which were all dodged by Pikachu. Pikachu then used Quick Attack, but Swanna avoided the attack and struck him with Wing Attack. Swanna then went for Bubble Beam, but this was dodged by Pikachu. Swanna then dove towards Pikachu using Wing Attack, but he dodged again and launched a super-effective Electro Ball at the White Bird Pokémon, knocking it out. Pikachu was then recalled. [[BW108|Later during the battle]], Ash sent Pikachu out to face Cameron's newly evolved {{TP|Cameron|Lucario}}, which had just defeated {{AP|Snivy}}, leaving him as Ash's last Pokémon. Pikachu started off by repeatedly using Quick attack, each time scoring a direct hit. He then tried to finish Lucario off with Iron Tail, but Lucario quickly dodged. Lucario then jumped towards Pikachu and hit him hard with {{m|Force Palm}}. Pikachu's Electro Ball then collided with Lucario's {{m|Aura Sphere}}, blowing both Pokémon back. Pikachu then managed to avoid Force Palm, but Lucario chased after him and threw him in the air using {{m|Circle Throw}}. Pikachu, however, managed to land on his feet and struck Lucario with a powerful Thunderbolt, followed up by a Quick Attack. He then went for Iron Tail, but Lucario used {{m|Copycat}} to counter his attack, causing a big explosion. Despite the large amount of damage both Pokémon had taken, they still managed to stand up. At the end of the climactic fight, Pikachu and Lucario fired blasts of Electro Ball and Aura Sphere. Aura Sphere, however, overpowered Electro Ball, knocking Pikachu out, and thus eliminating Ash from the Vertress Conference, placing him in Top 8.

In ''[[BW112|Team Plasma's Pokémon Power Plot]]'', Pikachu battled wild Pokémon, controlled by [[Colress]], trying to free them and stop [[Team Plasma]]. Impressed by Pikachu's power, Colress managed to gain control over Pikachu by attaching a receiver to his head and ordered him to attack Ash and the group. As Colress was increasing the power of the EM waves, Ash begged Pikachu to fight the control. Fighting against the control, the receiver overloaded and got destroyed, freeing Pikachu from Team Plasma's control.

In ''[[BW121|Team Plasma and the Awakening Ceremony!]]'', Pikachu along with Ash's other Pokémon fought against Team Plasma's Pokémon in order to prevent them from awakening {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Reshiram}}. Colress, however, then activated his improved mind-control machine and managed to hit Pikachu with the machine's laser, controlling him again. This time however, Ash's voice didn't get through to Pikachu's control and he was knocked unconscious by Pikachu's Thunderbolt. {{an|N}} then offered to give Team Plasma the [[Light Stone]] in exchange for them freeing Pikachu from their control, to which they agreed. In [[BW122|the next episode]], Pikachu tried to destroy Colress's machine to free Reshiram and all the other Pokémon from [[Ghetsis]]'s control. However, he was ultimately hit by the laser, which put him under control once again. To everyone's surprise, Pikachu managed to resist the machine's influence, using his own electricity to fight off Ghetsis's control, and used Thunderbolt on Reshiram in an attempt to help it escape from Ghetsis's control as well. Despite Colress increasing the machine's power, Pikachu kept resisting and together with Reshiram destroyed the machine with Electro Ball and {{m|Fusion Flare}}, freeing all Pokémon from Team Plasma's control, thus defeating the team.

====Decolore Islands====
[[File:Bulbasaur and Pikachu.png|thumb|250px|Pikachu reuniting with Bulbasaur]]
In ''[[BW125|Cilan and the Case of the Purrloin Witness!]],'' Pikachu participated in the [[Marine Cup Tournament]]. He managed to beat other Trainers with a {{p|Gurdurr}} and an {{p|Eelektrik}} and make it to the finals. He battled against [[Teaque]]'s {{p|Galvantula}}. After a tough battle, Pikachu was able to knock out Galvantula with Iron Tail, winning the tournament for Ash.

In ''[[BW141|Best Wishes Until We Meet Again!]]'', Pikachu, along with {{TP|Iris|Axew}} was captured by Team Rocket, while Ash, Iris and {{an|Cilan}} were trapped inside the ship's cargo space. He was eventually freed out of the net and together with Axew using Dragon Rage, Charizard using Flamethrower and {{TP|Cilan|Pansage}} using Solar Beam, Pikachu used Thunderbolt to blast Team Rocket off. Later, Pikachu said farewell to Axew, Iris and Cilan as he, Ash and [[Alexa]] continued on to Pallet Town.

Pikachu was reunited with Bulbasaur and the entire Unova team at Professor Oak's Laboratory in ''[[BW142|The Dream Continues!]]''. He joined the others in a group attack on Team Rocket with his Thunderbolt to send them blasting off for the last time in the ''Best Wishes'' series. Pikachu then continued to travel with Ash when he set off for the [[Kalos]] region.

==={{series|XY}}===
In ''[[XY001|Kalos, Where Dreams and Adventures Begin!]]'', Ash and Pikachu arrived in Kalos by plane along with Alexa. After being thrown out of the [[Lumiose Gym]] for not having enough Gym Badges, Ash was saved by {{an|Clemont}} while Pikachu was saved by {{an|Bonnie}}. Bonnie was excited to be holding Pikachu, leading to him shocking her because she was holding him too tightly. After becoming acquainted with their rescuers, Ash challenged Clemont to a battle, which Clemont reluctantly agreed to.
[[File:Ash and Pikachu.png|thumb|250px|left|Pikachu and Ash]]
In the battle, Pikachu faced [[Clemont's Bunnelby]]. Despite Clemont admitting that he only recently caught Bunnelby, he proved to be quite a challenge for Pikachu. Pikachu's Thunderbolt was blocked by Bunnelby, who used his ears to create a mud shield. Bunnelby then used Dig. Pikachu tried to confuse Bunnelby with his speedy movements, but the Digging Pokémon was able to hit him. Pikachu then scored a direct hit with Quick Attack, which Bunnelby quickly recovered from. Bunnelby then used Double Slap, hitting him several times before knocking him back. Pikachu then used Iron Tail which Bunnelby easily caught with his ears. Now, however, Bunnelby was unable to use his ears, giving Pikachu the opportunity to hit the Digging Pokémon with Electro Ball. The battle was then interrupted by Team Rocket, who once again attempted to steal Pikachu for their plans. Ash attempted to stop them, but Jessie had her Wobbuffet reflect Pikachu's attacks with {{m|Mirror Coat}}. Pikachu was saved by a {{AP|Froakie}}, who shielded Pikachu with its body at the cost of being injured. With Bunnelby and Froakie's help, Pikachu was used to blast off the villains. Froakie soon collapsed from its injuries, so Ash, Pikachu, and their new friends went to [[Professor Sycamore]] to heal Froakie back to health.

In ''[[XY002|Lumiose City Pursuit!]]'', Ash and Pikachu managed to get Froakie to Professor Sycamore so that he could be healed. When Professor Sycamore's {{p|Garchomp}} went crazy from one of Team Rocket's devices, Pikachu and Ash pursued her to get the device off and free her. After chasing her to the top of Prism Tower, Pikachu removed the device from Garchomp's neck with Iron Tail. However, due to the fight damaging the tower, the ground Pikachu was standing on broke off, causing him to fall off with Ash immediately leaping in to save his best friend, to the shock of many including {{an|Serena}}. They were both saved by a {{me|Blaziken}}, who intercepted them in the air and put the two safely back onto the ground.

In ''[[XY005|A Blustery Santalune Gym Battle!]]'', Pikachu was the first Pokémon Ash used during his [[Santalune Gym]] battle with [[Viola]], sending him out to face her {{p|Surskit}}. Despite the type-advantage, Surskit proved to be a tough opponent, using its speedy movements to dodge Pikachu's attacks. Pikachu's Quick Attack was blocked by Protect and his Iron Tail was dodged. After blocking Pikachu's Electro Ball with Ice Beam, it used Ice Beam on the field, freezing it. While Pikachu slipped on the ice, Surskit was able to skate on it. Although Pikachu did get a successful hit with Iron Tail, his Thunderbolt was overpowered by Ice Beam and he was then knocked out by {{m|Signal Beam}}. After he was healed at the Pokémon Center, he trained with {{AP|Fletchling}} for their rematch by using Alexa's {{p|Noivern}}'s {{m|Gust}} to help them withstand {{p|Vivillon}}'s Gust, who beat Fletchling in the first battle.

In ''[[XY006|Battling on Thin Ice!]]'', continuing his training along with Fletchling, they were able to withstand Noivern's Gust well. Later, using one of Clemont's inventions, they practiced to avoid Surskit's {{m|Sticky Web}}. After it broke, they used Froakie and its Frubbles instead to practice. The next day, Pikachu was Ash's first Pokémon for his Gym Battle rematch against Viola, where he again went up against her Surskit. Using his training he was able to dodge Sticky Web, and after having his Thunderbolt blocked by Surskit's Protect and dodging its Signal Beam, he was able to hit Surskit with Iron Tail. Afterwards, Pikachu tried to stop Surskit from using Ice Beam on the field by climbing on it and using Thunderbolt, but Surskit was able to shake him off and managed to create the ice field as well as freezing the area. This time, however, using his tail, Pikachu was able to stabilize himself on the ice field. His Thunderbolt then overpowered Surskit's Signal Beam, defeating the Pond Skater Pokémon. Ash recalled Pikachu and substituted him for Fletchling. He was later called out again to battle Vivillon, who had beaten Fletchling. Vivillon attacked with Gust, but as Pikachu was still damaged from battling Surskit, he wasn't able to withstand attack. As Vivillon went for another Gust, Ash had Pikachu use Iron Tail to anchor himself to the ice field to withstand the attack. Vivillon then used Solar Beam, which was countered with Thunderbolt. In his current position, however, Pikachu was left vulnerable to Vivillon's {{m|Sleep Powder}} and got hit. While he was struggling to stay awake, Vivillon charged its Solar Beam. Thinking back to their training, Ash had Pikachu use Electro Ball on himself to repel Sleep Powder, thus keeping him awake. Vivillon then launched the Solar Beam, but Pikachu was able to overpower it with Electro Ball, causing Vivillon to crash into the lamps which were frozen by Surskit's Ice Beam misfire, freezing its wing. This allowed Pikachu to defeat the Scale Pokémon with Thunderbolt, earning Ash the {{badge|Bug}}.

In ''[[XY019|A Conspiracy to Conquer!]]'', after overhearing one of Team Rocket's conversations, [[Officer Jenny|Madame X]] and her {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Malamar}} captured Pikachu. After Clemont attempted to use his "Automatic Pikachu Retrieving Device" to find Pikachu, it was revealed that Malamar had hypnotized Pikachu, making him one of Madame X's subordinates. While searching for Pikachu, Clemont, Bonnie, and Serena were also hypnotized by Malamar. Once Ash and Meowth finally found Pikachu, Team Rocket, and Madame X, Madame X forced Pikachu to attack Ash. Ash attempted to get through to Pikachu, which works and Pikachu starts to fight Malamar control. Pikachu electricity did get the Automatic Pikachu Retrieving Device to bursted in and rammed into Malamar, causing it to lose its control over everyone. After Malamar revealed his plans through Meowth, Pikachu attempted to attack it, but Malamar managed to escape.

In ''[[XY025|Climbing the Walls!]]'', Ash used Pikachu as his third and final Pokémon in his [[Cyllage Gym]] battle against [[Grant]]. He went up against his {{p|Tyrunt}}. Pikachu was at a type-disadvantage since Tyrunt was part {{type|Dragon}}. Pikachu used Quick Attack and jumped to attack from above to avoid {{m|Crunch}} and hit Tyrunt. Tyrunt then used its signature {{m|Draco Meteor}}, but Pikachu dodged and struck it with a super-effective Iron Tail. As the meteor shower from Draco Meteor rained down, Pikachu used Iron Tail to jump on the meteors and perform the Draco Meteor Climb, which was based on the Rock Tomb Climb Froakie previously used. Tyrunt then used its jumping abilities to jump high and use Dragon Tail and clashed with Pikachu's Iron Tail. Grant then had Tyrunt use his favorite move, Rock Tomb, but Pikachu deflected the projectiles with Iron Tail, knocking one into Tyrunt's mouth. While Tyrunt was now unable to use Crunch, Pikachu had the opportunity to move close and finish with Ash's favorite move, Thunderbolt, defeating Tyrunt, winning the battle and earning Ash the {{badge|Cliff}}.

In ''[[XY028|The Bonds of Evolution!]]'', Pikachu was used in the Ash's battle against [[Diantha]], the [[Kalos League]] Champion, where he faced her {{p|Gardevoir}}. {{TP|Diantha|Gardevoir}} managed to dodge all of Pikachu's attacks and hit him hard with a Shadow Ball. The battle was then interrupted by Team Rocket.

In ''[[XY030|Mega Revelations!]]'', Pikachu battled against [[Korrina's Lucario]]. Pikachu's Quick Attack was easily taken by Lucario and his Iron Tail was blocked. Lucario used its great speed to dodge an Iron Tail and then raised its Attack using {{m|Swords Dance}}. Pikachu was then unable to dodge Lucario's speedy attacks and got hit by several {{m|Bone Rush}}es and was then finished off by a powerful {{m|Power-Up Punch}}.

Pikachu battled Lucario again in ''[[XY032|The Aura Storm!]]'', but this time against Lucario's [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]] form. Mega Lucario used Bone Rush, but Pikachu managed to knock the bone away with Iron Tail. Pikachu then went for Quick Attack and managed to dodge a Power-Up Punch. Lucario, however, started to go out of control and chased after him before kicking him into a rock. Pikachu then went for Electro Ball, but it dodged it and now started to attack Pikachu aggressively, forcing Ash to protect Pikachu. As Lucario went to attack Ash and Pikachu, [[Gurkinn]] sent out his {{p|Lucario}} to block the attack. Lucario then lost its conscious and the battle was called off.

In ''[[XY042|Battling Into the Hall of Fame!]]'', Pikachu was used in a {{DL|Pokémon battle|Team Battle}} alongside with [[Serena's Fennekin]] and [[Clemont's Chespin]] against [[Tierno's Squirtle]], [[Shauna's Bulbasaur]], and [[Trevor's Charmander]]. Pikachu and the others were having a hard time due to their opponents great teamwork, which led to Fennekin being defeated by Squirtle. When Pikachu used Quick Attack, Squirtle used Rapid Spin to block and send Pikachu flying. He also took some damage from the embers from Charmander's {{m|Flame Burst}} and he and the others were then hit by Bulbasaur's Razor Leaf. Pikachu then jumped to dodge a Flamethrower, but was then targeted by Bulbasaur's Solar Beam. Much to Shauna and her friends's surprise, Chespin used Vine Whip to pull Pikachu up, giving Pikachu the perfect opportunity to defeat Charmander with Thunderbolt. When Squirtle used Rapid Spin, Chespin used Vine Whip to stop it, while Pikachu managed to defeat Bulbasaur with Electro Ball. After avoiding Squirtle's {{m|Aqua Tail}}, Pikachu also defeated it with Thunderbolt giving Ash, Serena and Clemont the win {{tt|and the spot on the Hall of Fame|Despite having one point less than Team Chikorita, as the final scores were inconsistent with the points given on screen}}.

In ''[[XY044|Showdown at the Shalour Gym!]]'', Pikachu was the last Pokémon Ash used during his [[Shalour Gym]] battle with [[Korrina]], sending him out to face Korrina's Mega Lucario. Ash was convinced that Korrina wasn't the only one who trained, both Pokémon stared off as this was going to be the final battle. Pikachu used Quick Attack and combined it with Electro Ball, launching a fast Electro Ball, but this was deflected by Bone Rush. Pikachu's Iron Tail was blocked and Lucario kicked him into the air. While in mid-air, Pikachu hit Lucario with Thunderbolt, but it immediately countered with Aura Sphere, knocking him to the ground. Pikachu was able to get to up and showed his strength by unleashing his electricity. Lucario then used Metal Sound, which Pikachu drowned out using his Thunderbolt hitting Lucario as well. Then Lucario used Aura Sphere, but Pikachu used Iron Tail to bounce off it and jump, similar to the Draco Meteor Climb. Lucario jumped towards Pikachu and used Bone Rush, but Pikachu countered with Iron Tail. While both Pokémon were clashing with their attacks, they both crashed down on the ground. Both Pokémon, however, were still standing. Lucario's Power-Up Punch was then countered with Iron Tail, and its Aura Sphere then collided with Pikachu's Electro Ball. Pikachu was able to recover first from the collision and struck Lucario with Thunderbolt, finally defeating the Aura Pokémon, thus giving Ash the victory and earning him the {{badge|Rumble}}. As the group prepared to depart for [[Coumarine City]], Pikachu and Lucario bumped fists as a promise to battle again someday.

In ''[[XY055|A Slippery Encounter!]]'', Pikachu helped out a {{AP|Goomy}}, after they were stolen by Team Rocket. Knowing that his Thunderbolt wouldn't break their cage, Pikachu kept ramming it and managed to bend the bars. While Goomy managed to escape, Pikachu couldn't fit through until Goomy used its slime on its body to make him slip right through the bars. After getting out, they both ran off until they were noticed by Team Rocket, who gave chase. When Pikachu and Goomy were about to be hit by Jessie's {{TP|Jessie|Pumpkaboo}}'s Shadow Ball, Ash arrived with Fletchinder to protect them. When Team Rocket were about to capture Pikachu again, Ash told him to use Iron Tail, destroying the cage. While battling their foes, Pikachu used Electro Ball, countering Pumpkaboo's Shadow Ball. Then {{TP|James|Inkay}} used Psybeam, which managed to confuse Pikachu and Fletchinder, causing them to attack each other instead. As they were about to be finished off by Pumpkaboo and Inkay's {{m|Dark Pulse}} and Psybeam, Goomy shielded them with its body and used {{m|Bide}} to attack Team Rocket's Pokémon. As the confusion wore off, Ash had Pikachu finish Team Rocket off with Thunderbolt. Later, Pikachu informed to Ash that Goomy wanted to go with them, allowing him to capture it.

In ''[[XY065|Good Friends, Great Training!]]'', Pikachu alongside Sliggoo was used in a Double Battle against Tierno's Wartortle and Raichu. Before the battle could start, he was grabbed by a mecha created by Team Rocket, but Sliggoo was able to save Pikachu with Dragon Breath. After the mecha took Sliggoo, along with Wartortle and Raichu, Pikachu split up with Ash and Serena to look for them. After Sliggoo evolved into Goodra to save Ash and Pikachu, they restarted their battle. Pikachu hit Wartortle with Quick Attack and then quickly backed off to avoid a Rapid Spin. While Goodra was charging its Bide, Raichu fired a Focus Blast at it. Pikachu tried blocking the attack with Electro Ball, but got hit by Wartortle's Rapid Spin. Goodra, however, withstood the attack and fired off its Bide. Wartortle tried countering with Hydro Pump, but Pikachu blocked the attack with Iron Tail, causing Bide to hit its mark. Pikachu then countered Raichu's Focus Blast with Electro Ball to protect Goodra and after Goodra managed to daze both Pokémon by throwing Wartortle into Raichu, Pikachu and Goodra defeated them with a Thunderbolt and {{m|Dragon Pulse}} combo.

In ''[[XY067|The Moment of Lumiose Truth!]]'', Ash used Pikachu as his first Pokémon in his Lumiose Gym Battle against Clemont and went up against his Bunnelby. Pikachu used Thunderbolt, which was blocked by Bunnelby, who used his ears to create a mud shield. Bunnelby then used Dig, which was too fast for Pikachu to evade. Pikachu hit Bunnelby with Quick Attack, which Bunnelby quickly recovered from and managed to hit Pikachu several times with Double Slap. Pikachu then used Iron Tail which the Digging Pokémon caught with his ears. This reminded Bonnie of their first battle. Instead of letting Pikachu counter with Electro Ball, Bunnelby used his new move, {{m|Wild Charge}}, dealing major damage to Pikachu. Bunnelby then hit Pikachu with another Dig. He then responded with Quick Attack, but Bunnelby used Dig again. However, Ash had Pikachu use Iron Tail on the ground, forcing Bunnelby to emerge and dealing major damage. Pikachu then used another Iron Tail, defeating Bunnelby. When Clemont sent out {{TP|Clemont|Heliolisk}}, Ash recalled Pikachu. He was later sent out to battle Clemont's last Pokémon, {{TP|Clemont|Luxray}}. Pikachu could take advantage of Luxray's {{m|Electric Terrain}}, which increased the power of Electric-type moves. Pikachu first used Thunderbolt, which was blocked by Luxray's Thunder Fang. He then used Wild Charge on Pikachu, dealing a lot of damage. Luxray followed up with Swift, but Pikachu was able to deflect it back to Luxray with Iron Tail. However, the Gleam Eyes Pokémon countered with Wild Charge, defeating Pikachu.

In ''[[XY075|Rivals: Today and Tomorrow!]]'', Ash used Pikachu as his first Pokémon in his three-round battle against [[Sawyer]]. He went up against {{p|Bagon}}, although he had a type-disadvantage. Pikachu's speedy Quick Attack was able to outmaneuver Bagon's Headbutt. After Thunderbolt and Dragon Breath collided in a draw, Pikachu jumped into the air and prepared to use Iron Tail. Sawyer had Bagon use Dragon Claw, but it was overpowered by Iron Tail and Pikachu knocked the Rock Head Pokémon out.

In ''[[XY079|A Frenzied Factory Fiasco!]]'', Pikachu, along with Ash and his friends, visited the [[Poké Ball Factory]]. There, they were tricked by Team Rocket, who separated the group from their Poké Balls, with only Pikachu managing to escape. During a battle against his enemies, Pikachu avoided being recalled into his Poké Ball and hid in one of the vent shafts without them knowing. He then first tried to free Ash and his friends with Iron Tail, but when that failed and Team Rocket discovered him, Pikachu attempted to get the briefcase that held the group's Poké Balls. Meowth then chased after Pikachu, being the only one small enough to squeeze through the factory equipment and ventilation shafts that Pikachu escaped through, and continuously attempted to recall Pikachu into his Poké Ball. In the end, the Team Rocket trio attempted to escape with all the Poké Balls they stole, though in the process of doing so, they saw Ash and Pikachu were after them. Pikachu managed to stop their van with his Thunderbolt and Meowth challenged Pikachu to a one-on-one battle, which he accepted. Pikachu managed to defeat his foe despite the Scratch Cat Pokémon attempting to use Pikachu's Poké Ball on him. After Team Rocket got blasted off again, the group was invited by the grateful factory staff to a genuine tour of the factory.

In ''[[XY090|Tag Team Battle Inspiration!]]'', Pikachu was used in a [[Multi Battle|Tag Battle]] against [[Serena's Eevee]] and Shauna's Ivysaur with Tierno's Blastoise as his partner. Pikachu started the battle by firing an Electro Ball, which was countered by Ivysaur's Energy Ball. Then Pikachu used Thunderbolt on Eevee, but Ivysaur protected Eevee by using Razor Leaf. While Blastoise was struggling with Eevee, Pikachu scored a hit on Ivysaur with Iron Tail. Ivysaur retaliated with Vine Whip, but Pikachu dodged it. The battle was later called off by Serena. Ash and Tierno then decided to battle against each other and Pikachu faced Blastoise. A collision between Thunderbolt and Hydro Pump took place, but the outcome of the battle remains unknown.

In ''[[XY093|All Eyes on the Future!]]'', while he wasn't chosen for Ash's Double Battle with [[Olympia]], Pikachu did help Ash keep track of when the {{m|Future Sight}} from Olympia's two {{p|Meowstic}} would strike by using his tail as a makeshift timer. This eventually allowed Frogadier and Talonflame to turn the attack against them, and ultimately win the battle.

In ''[[XY098|Dream a Little Dream from Me!]]'', after the gang viewed the [[Litleonids|Litleonid meteor shower]], Pikachu got pulled into [[Squishy]]'s dream by a {{p|Darkrai}}. In the dream, the group's Pokémon were either in their evolved or pre-evolved form and could speak human language, while humans spoke like Pokémon. Freaked out by this, Pikachu fled and ran into Meowth, who had also been pulled into the dream. Pikachu and Meowth then encountered a talking Squishy. Suddenly a flaming ghost appeared, who attacked them. They eventually managed to escape from it and Squishy then revealed a glimpse of its true strength to Pikachu and Meowth. Pikachu and Meowth tried to help Squishy getting to its home so it could gain this strength. On their way they got attacked by the flaming ghost again and Pikachu decided to battle it. Pikachu's attacks, however, couldn't land, but he was soon aided by the group's Pokémon and together managed to defeat the creature. In the end, Pikachu, Meowth and Squishy were woken by Clemont's invention.

In ''[[XY105|Party Dancecapades!]]'', Pikachu partnered up with [[Miette]]'s {{p|Slurpuff}} in a dance party hosted by [[Monsieur Pierre]]. Later, Pikachu was used in a Tag Battle along with Serena's Eevee, where he faced James's Inkay and Miette's Slurpuff. Pikachu scored a direct hit on Slurpuff with Quick Attack, who then quickly recovered and fired off an Energy Ball. Pikachu, however, got saved by Eevee's Swift and after dodging a Psybeam from Inkay, he hit the Revolving Pokémon with Iron Tail. Pikachu and Eevee were then forced to jump in order to avoid another Psybeam, but got trapped after landing in Slurpuff's {{m|Cotton Spore}}. Unable to escape, Pikachu and Eevee were vulnerable to Inkay's Psybeam and got hit hard. Pikachu then stepped in and got hit by Inkay's Tackle meant for Eevee. Later, while Eevee struggled to get up, Pikachu continued to battle using Electro Ball and then blocked Slurpuff's Energy Ball with Thunderbolt. After Eevee's Evolution into Sylveon, Sylveon managed to defeat both Inkay and Slurpuff with {{m|Fairy Wind}}, giving Ash and Serena the win.

In ''[[XY106|A Meeting of Two Journeys!]]'', Pikachu was Ash's second Pokémon used in another three round battle against Sawyer, where he faced Sawyer's {{p|Honedge}}. Pikachu used Iron Tail to counter Honedge's Fury Cutter and then defeated it with a Thunderbolt.

In ''[[XY121|Seeing the Forest for the Trees!]]'', Pikachu was very worried as Ash had left into the [[Kalos Route 20|Winding Woods]] alone, and spent most of the episode trying to find Ash. Eventually, Team Rocket tried to catch Pikachu but when Pikachu tried to fend them off, they were actually underwhelmed by his power, implying that without Ash's friendship motivating him Pikachu was not able to perform as strong as usual. After Ash returned at the end of the episode, an overjoyed Pikachu was able to quickly send Team Rocket blasting off.

In [[XY122|the next episode]], he participated in Ash's rematch against [[Wulfric]] and faced his {{p|Bergmite}}. Bergmite was able to move at a high speed by skating on the icy battlefield, allowing it to dodge an incoming Electro Ball. After jumping in the air to avoid Bergmite, Pikachu was hit by its Icy Wind, numbing his legs, slowing him down. As a result, Bergmite was able to easily dodge his Quick Attack, but was then hit from behind by a Thunderbolt. Bergmite then used {{m|Sharpen}}, encasing it in a diamond-shaped block of ice. It then rushed forwards using Rapid Spin, hurling Pikachu into an ice stalactite. Ash then had Pikachu run around to get rid of the numbness in his legs. Now having regained his Speed, Pikachu was able to knock Bergmite over with Quick Attack and hit it with Iron Tail, breaking through the block of ice and defeating it. Next, Pikachu faced Wulfric's {{p|Avalugg}}. He immediately scored a hit with Thunderbolt, but Avalugg withstood the attack and retaliated with an extra powerful {{m|Avalanche}}. Avalugg then went after Pikachu using {{m|Gyro Ball}}, but Pikachu created a hole in the battlefield with Iron Tail, causing Avalugg to get caught in it, stopping its movements. Avalugg, however, was able to use Stone Edge while spinning and despite Pikachu's attempt to destroy the rocks with Thunderbolt, he was hit hard and got knocked out.

Pikachu was used in the semi-finals of the [[Lumiose Conference]] in ''[[XY127|Analysis Versus Passion!]]'', where Ash chose him as his third Pokémon in his battle against Sawyer. He was sent out against Sawyer's powerful {{p|Clawitzer}}. Pikachu used the forest battle field to his advantage by climbing into the trees and jump from branch to branch in order to confuse Clawitzer. Despite this, Clawitzer was still able to dodge his Thunderbolt and Quick Attack by launching itself in the air. After dodging an Ice Beam, Pikachu launched an Electro Ball which collided with Clawitzer's Dragon Pulse. Clawitzer then chased after him with {{m|Aqua Jet}}, but Pikachu was able lose it in the forest, allowing him to attack with a surprise Iron Tail. Clawitzer, however, reacted in time and was able to grab Pikachu's tail with its pincer and prepared to launch a {{m|Water Pulse}}. Ash then had Pikachu use Electro Ball to break free from Clawitzer's grip and finish the Howitzer Pokémon off with Thunderbolt. Pikachu then faced Sawyer's next Pokémon, his {{p|Aegislash}}. Pikachu tried to use the forest again, but Aegislash prevented him from doing so by chopping down the trees using {{m|Sacred Sword}}. [[XY128|Continuing their battle]], Pikachu attacked with Iron Tail, but Aegislash protected itself from the attack with {{m|King's Shield}}, which also lowered Pikachu's Attack. He was then unable to keep up with Aegislash's fast moves and was hit twice by powerful Sacred Sword attacks. Pikachu then tried attacking with Thunderbolt, but Aegislash once again used King's Shield to protect itself. Ash then noticed that Aegislash had to attach itself to its shield in order to use King's Shield. Using this knowledge, he had Pikachu use Iron Tail on the ground, which caused the chopped down logs to fly up in the air. Pikachu then used its great speed to jump on the logs, confusing Aegislash and avoiding its attacks. As Aegislash tried going for King's Shield again, Pikachu knocked one of the wooden chunks between Aegislash's shield, making it unable to defend itself properly. With his opponent left vulnerable, Pikachu used Thunderbolt to defeat Aegislash. As Sawyer had lost three of his Pokémon the battlefield was changed and Ash decided to recall Pikachu. He was later used again to face [[Sawyer's Sceptile]]. Pikachu started off with a Quick Attack, but Sceptile countered with Leaf Storm, throwing him in the air. He, however, was able to break through the leaves and strike Sceptile with Thunderbolt. After a clash between Iron Tail and {{m|Leaf Blade}}, Pikachu was unable to dodge Sceptile's {{m|Frenzy Plant}} and was knocked out.

In ''[[XY130|Finals Not for the Faint-Hearted!]]'', Pikachu was used as Ash's first Pokémon in the finals of the Conference against [[Alain]]. He went up against Alain's {{p|Tyranitar}}, who summoned a {{weather|sandstorm}} upon entering the battlefield due to its {{a|Sand Stream}} Ability which deteriorated Pikachu's sight. Despite this, Pikachu was able to avoid a Dark Pulse. Ash then had Pikachu slam its tail into the field's water stream with Iron Tail to splash the water in the air which cancelled out the sandstorm as well as wetted Tyranitar. This allowed Pikachu to strike Tyranitar with Thunderbolt, dealing major damage due to Tyranitar's wet body. Pikachu then went for Electro Ball, but Tyranitar blocked the attack with Stone Edge and then proceeded to slam the stone pillars with its tail to send multiple stone shards flying at Pikachu. Pikachu, however, deflected all of the shards with Iron Tail and then used the attack once again to counter Tyranitar's Crunch. Tyranitar, however, threw Pikachu in the air, but he was able to launch an Electro Ball in mid-air which defeated Tyranitar. Pikachu was then recalled. He was later used again to face Alain's Metagross. Pikachu started off with Thunderbolt, but Metagross used Agility to dodge the attack and corner Pikachu. Due to this, Pikachu was hit hard by powerful Metal Claw, {{m|Rock Slide}} and Meteor Mash attacks. As Metagross charged another Meteor Mash to finish him off, Pikachu was able to obstruct it with Electro Ball, allowing him to jump on top Metagross. Now he was able to continuously use Thunderbolt, dealing serious damage to the Iron Leg Pokémon. Metagross was eventually able to shake Pikachu off, throwing him in the air, but Pikachu headed downwards and dealt a decisive hit with Iron Tail, knocking Metagross out. Pikachu then faced Alain's strongest Pokémon, {{TP|Alain|Charizard}}. Pikachu managed to hit Charizard with a speedy Quick Attack, followed up by a super effective Thunderbolt. The battle continued in ''[[XY131|Down to the Fiery Finish!]]'', where Pikachu once again hit Charizard with Thunderbolt. Afterwards Ash ordered him to use Quick Attack, but he was too exhausted to use the attack and ended up getting hit by Charizard's Flamethrower. When Charizard repeated its attack, Pikachu used Iron Tail on the ground to create a shield of dirt to block it. He then used Iron Tail again to intercept Charizard's Dragon Claw, but was overpowered and got knocked out.

In ''[[XY132|A Towering Takeover!]]'', he and Ash went with Alain to go look for [[Mairin]], but once they found her they were obstructed by the giant roots. They were then ambushed by [[Celosia]] before her {{p|Drapion}}'s {{m|Confuse Ray}} hit them and knocked Ash unconscious. Pikachu attempted to protect his Trainer but eventually fell to the Confuse Ray's effects as well and passed out. Pikachu, along with Ash and his other Pokémon, was then taken captive by [[Lysandre]] on the top of Prism Tower. He could only watch in horror while Ash and Greninja were hit by [[Team Flare]]'s miniature version of the Mega Evolution energy weapon, until Ash and Greninja freed themselves using [[Bond Phenomenon]], in [[XY133|the following episode]]. Alain's Charizard broke him and the other Pokémon free with Dragon Claw, leaving everyone to battle [[Lysandre's Pyroar]] and Shiny Mega Gyarados together. During the battle, Pikachu and Goodra combined their Thunderbolt and Dragon Pulse to defend against {{p|Pyroar}} and Gyarados's {{m|Incinerate}}. After {{AP|Hawlucha}} was able to hit Pyroar with a super-effective {{m|Karate Chop}}, Pikachu manages to defeat the Royal Pokémon with Thunderbolt. [[XY134|Continuing the battle]], Pikachu and Noivern fired off their Thunderbolt and {{m|Boomburst}} which were countered by Gyarados's Hyper Beam. Pikachu was then targeted by a Dragon Tail, but Noivern pushed him aside, taking the attack in his place which knocked Noivern out. In the end, Pikachu, Greninja and Charizard were the only ones left facing Lysandre's Gyarados, although now aided by [[Malva]]'s Mega {{p|Houndoom}}. The battle finally concluded in ''[[XY135|Rocking Kalos Defenses!]]'', where Pikachu hit Gyarados with Quick Attack after avoiding its Hyper Beam and then finished it off with a Thunderbolt.

Pikachu later helped Serena's Braixen, [[Steven's Metagross]] and Professor Sycamore's Garchomp fight against the [[Giant Rock]]. He, along with the other Pokémon, was eventually subdued by the creature's roots, but was freed by a combined attack from the Pokémon of all the Gym Leaders of Kalos and Diantha. After strategizing, in ''[[XY136|Forming a More Perfect Union!]]'', everyone combined their powers to fend off the Giant Rock's roots, allowing Ash and Alain to reach its center and save [[Chespie]], bringing the creature down. After the resurrection of the Giant Rock, who was now controlled by Lysandre, Pikachu, Greninja and Alain's Charizard managed to destroy Lysandre's control device, allowing Squishy and [[Z2]] to destroy the Giant Rock. In [[XY137|the next episode]], Pikachu and the rest of Ash's Pokémon received medals from Professor Sycamore for their heroic efforts against Team Flare.

In ''[[XY138|The First Day of the Rest of Your Life!]]'', Ash used Pikachu in a battle against Serena and her Braixen. At first, Pikachu had the upper hand as he was able to hit Braixen with a speedy Quick Attack and break through her defenses with Iron Tail before hitting her with a second one. After dodging a Flamethrower, he clashed with Braixen's Scratch using his Iron Tail, knocking both Pokémon back. Braixen was then able to use Fire Blast, successfully hitting Pikachu. The battle was then called off by Ash.

In ''[[XY140|Till We Compete Again!]]'', Pikachu had to say goodbye to Serena, Clemont, Bonnie, and their Pokémon, since he and Ash would soon return to Kanto. While everyone said their goodbyes, {{TP|Clemont|Dedenne}} ran off since he didn't want the group to split apart. Using his electricity, Pikachu and the group were able to find Dedenne and calm it down. After Serena had departed, Pikachu participated in one final battle between Ash and Clemont, in which he faced Clemont's Bunnelby, just like in their first batttle. During the battle, both Pokémon's moves proved to be equal in power, but the end result of the battle was left unknown. Ash and Pikachu then separated from Clemont and Bonnie, and finally arrived in Pallet Town.

==={{series|Sun & Moon}}===
Pikachu joined Ash and Delia on a vacation to the [[Alola]] region in ''[[SM001|Alola to New Adventure!]]''. On their way to the [[Pokémon School]] on [[Melemele Island]], Pikachu and Ash followed a wild {{p|Grubbin}} into a forest, where the two noticed {{an|Kiawe|a Trainer}} riding a {{p|Charizard}}. They followed him and arrived at the Pokémon School, where they met some of the school's students as well as {{an|Professor Kukui}} and Professor Oak's cousin, [[Samson Oak]]. Ash later used Pikachu to battle a trio of {{tc|Team Skull Grunt}}s, who were harassing Kiawe, and their trio of {{p|Zubat}}, {{p|Salandit}}, and {{p|Yungoos}}. Pikachu was able to dodge their Salandit's attacks with ease and seriously damage them with Quick Attack and Thunderbolt. Kiawe then had his {{TP|Kiawe|Turtonator}} use the [[Z-Move]] {{m|Inferno Overdrive}} which knocked [[Team Skull]]'s Pokémon out in one shot. That evening, Pikachu and Ash followed {{DL|List of recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Tapu Koko}}, the [[guardian deity]] of Melemele Island, who handed Ash a [[Z-Ring]] and an [[Electrium Z]]. Pikachu remained in Alola with Ash, when he decided to study at the Pokémon School.

In [[SM002|the next episode]], Ash's classmates had a surprise welcome party for him, where he and Pikachu participated in several challenges. During their lunch break, Tapu Koko appeared again and stole Ash's hat, prompting Ash and his classmates to follow it. Arriving in a forest, Tapu Koko challenged Ash to a Pokémon battle. Pikachu was overwhelmed by Tapu Koko's fast moves and despite Electric Terrain being created by Tapu Koko's Ability {{a|Electric Surge}}, Pikachu's Thunderbolt didn't faze it. Tapu Koko then tapped Ash's Z-Ring, activating it and allowing Pikachu to perform {{m|Gigavolt Havoc}}, which destroyed a large part of the area but also caused Ash's Electrium Z to shatter. Afterwards, Tapu Koko flew off again.

In ''[[SM009|To Top a Totem!]]'', Pikachu was used in Ash's first [[island challenge]] trial in [[Verdant Cavern]]. Alongside {{AP|Rowlet}}, he first fought a Yungoos and {{p|Gumshoos}}. The two {{type|Normal}}s showed to be tough opponents, as they were able to use {{m|Sand Attack}} to obstruct Pikachu and Rowlet's sight and movements before hitting them with their attacks. Ash then came up a similar tactic using Rowlet's {{m|Leafage}}, allowing Pikachu to knock Gumshoos out with Iron Tail, while Rowlet defeated Yungoos. Afterwards, Pikachu and Rowlet had to face a {{pkmn2|Totem}} Gumshoos. This Gumshoos proved to be extremely powerful, being able to endure Pikachu's Thunderbolt and knock him to the ground, after which it defeated Rowlet. After his Electro Ball got redirected by Sand Attack, Pikachu was hit hard once again. Pikachu then used Gumshoos's Sand Attack against it by hiding in the sand while using Quick Attack, allowing him confuse and repeatedly attack Gumshoos before finishing it off with a Thunderbolt. This win earned Ash a [[Normalium Z]].

Pikachu was used as Ash's final Pokémon in his battle against [[Hala]] during the Melemele Island grand trial in ''[[SM010|Trial and Tribulation!]]''. He faced Hala's {{p|Hariyama}}, who was able to block his attacks using its big hands and hit him afterwards. While repeatedly getting hit by Hariyama's {{m|Arm Thrust}}, Pikachu eventually managed to slip past Hariyama and strike it with Thunderbolt. Hariyama, however, was not fazed by this attack and proceeded to use {{m|Belly Drum}}, maximizing its Attack but also halving its health. Pikachu then used Quick Attack in an attempt to dodge Hariyama's Z-Move {{m|All-Out Pummeling}}, but was ultimately hit by the attack. After getting up, Pikachu circled around Hariyama using Quick Attack and managed to knock it off its feet using Iron Tail. Ash used this opportunity to have Pikachu perform {{m|Breakneck Blitz}}, which sent Hariyama flying and knocked it out. Having cleared the Melemele Island grand trial, Ash was rewarded a new Electrium Z.

In ''[[SM019|A Guardian Rematch!]]'', Ash and Pikachu trained for a rematch against Tapu Koko. The next day, the two were greeted by Tapu Koko again and were challenged to another battle. Unlike their last battle, Pikachu managed get a few hits on the guardian deity, but was eventually struck by its powerful attacks. Ash and Pikachu showed their improvements by performing Gigavolt Havoc, which was this time powerful enough to sent Tapu Koko flying. A clash between Pikachu and Tapu Koko, however, blasted the former off a cliff, prompting Ash to jump after him. The two were saved in time by Tapu Koko, who flew off afterwards.

In ''[[SM030|The Ol' Raise and Switch!]]'', Professor Kukui tasked everyone with switching their partner Pokémon with somebody else. As a result, Pikachu was given to {{an|Lillie}}, whilst [[Snowy]] went to Ash. Because of her fear of Pokémon, Lillie decided to have a battle with [[Hobbes]] and his {{p|Oricorio}} to help conquer her fear where despite her lack of battle experience, Lillie was able to defeat Oricorio and was able to touch Pikachu. Ash then proposed a battle against Lillie and Pikachu, to show them how strong he and Snowy had gotten together.

In ''[[SM043|When Regions Collide!]]'', Ash used Pikachu in his battle against Misty in which he battled her {{TP|Misty|Gyarados}}. The two started with a collision of Hydro Pump and Thunderbolt. Pikachu then rushed towards Gyarados and scored a direct hit with Quick Attack, sending Gyarados flying. Pikachu then started charging up Electro Ball as Gyarados used {{m|Rain Dance}}, confusing everyone. Ash told Pikachu to ignore the rain and attack. Gyarados, however, countered with a Rain Dance powered Hurricane, which destroyed the Electro Ball and sent Pikachu flying. Deciding it was time to get serious, Misty revealed her [[Key Stone]] and Mega Evolved Gyarados into Mega Gyarados. Gyarados launched a Hydro Pump that destroyed the rock Pikachu was standing on and sent him flying into the water. Not letting up, Gyarados tried to attack Pikachu with Crunch, but was struck by Iron Tail after Pikachu managed to climb onto its body. Gyarados then dove underwater and used Hurricane, creating a cyclone of water around Pikachu. Ash told Pikachu to use Thunderbolt to break it, but failed. Ash soon came up with the idea to have Pikachu run on Thunderbolt's electricity with Quick Attack, allowing Pikachu to escape from the cyclone. The two then preformed their Z-Move, Gigavolt Havoc, which hit Gyarados head on, defeating it and giving Ash the win.

During Ash and his classmates' travels in [[Ultra Deep Sea]] to rescue [[Lusamine]] in ''[[SM054|10,000,000 Reasons to Fight!]]'', Pikachu fought Lusamine, who had been fused with a {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Nihilego}}. Eventually, Pikachu and Ash prepared to perform Gigavolt Havoc, until Ash's Electrium Z mysteriously turned into a [[Pikashunium Z]]. This allowed the two to perform {{m|10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt}} for the first time; the Z-Move defeated Nihilego, weakening it enough for Lillie and {{an|Gladion}} to pull Lusamine free from its hold.

In ''[[SM076|A Battle Hand-Off!]]'', Ash used Pikachu in his trial battle at the {{OBP|Thrifty Megamart|Abandoned Site}}, where he battled Team Rocket and {{TP|Jessie|Mimikyu}}. Pikachu was quickly overwhelmed by Mimikyu's barrage of attacks, eventually leaving him open for Mimikyu's Z-Move, {{m|Let's Snuggle Forever}}. However, Pikachu was able to survive the attack by protecting itself with his newly learned {{m|Electroweb}}. Using his new move, Pikachu was also able to trap Mimikyu, which allowed him and Ash to perform a Z-Move of their own. Ash's Electrium Z then turned into a Pikashunium Z again, allowing Pikachu to use 10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt once more and defeat Mimikyu. This allowed Ash to qualify for a chance to challenge [[Nanu]]'s grand trial.

==Personality and characteristics==
{{bulbanews|Personality & Development: Ash's Pikachu}}
After Ash gained Pikachu's loyalty in ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', Pikachu became extremely loyal to Ash and has maintained this loyalty, and while he is not always immediately trusting of strangers, he is generally friendly to humans and Pokémon alike. He acted as a guardian and big brother to [[Misty's Togepi]], and has been seen mediating and even breaking up fights among other Pokémon, such as in ''[[PK01|Pikachu's Vacation]]''. In ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', Pikachu, {{MTR}}, and Meowth's clone were the only Pokémon not to participate in the giant battle; Pikachu stood motionless as his [[Pikachutwo|clone]] repeatedly slapped his face. Contrary to his distrusting nature, Pikachu took a liking to Misty very early in the series, and he has retained this liking of Misty throughout the series, such as when he was very happy to see her in ''[[AG132|The Scheme Team]]'' and ''[[SM042|Alola, Kanto!]]''.
[[File:Pikachu loves ketchup.png|200px|thumb|left|Pikachu and his love of ketchup]]
It was revealed that Pikachu also loves drinking orange juice, most likely because of its sourness in ''[[BW116|The Fires Of A Red-Hot Reunion]]''.

During the Hoenn saga, Pikachu [[AG089|temporarily developed amnesia]] and sided with {{TRT}} for a while. On several occasions, Pikachu has developed an "electric flu" causing him to become overcharged and extremely powerful. During these instances, Pikachu will sometimes accidentally let off electric outbursts which can be set off on anyone, including Ash. In all of these cases, Pikachu did not mean harm upon anyone.

As shown in a handful of episodes, the first being ''[[EP042|Showdown at Dark City]]'', Pikachu has a special fondness for ketchup, but he will eat and enjoy almost any other human or Pokémon food. A running joke in the anime also seems to be Pikachu using Thunderbolt at the beginning of each series to destroy a female companion's bike or shock the companion herself. This has happened to {{an|Misty}}, {{an|May}}, {{an|Dawn}}, {{an|Iris}}, and {{an|Bonnie}}.

Pikachu, like his Trainer, is always happy to battle. He often tries his very best, but when he loses, he doesn't complain or feel bad about himself, especially when Ash reassures him. Ash and Pikachu are almost identical personality-wise, and thus are the perfect match for one another. Most others agree, with the exception of [[Burgundy]], who in ''[[BW019|A Connoisseur's Revenge!]]'' said that Ash had a terrible relationship with all of his Pokémon, though this is more due to her inexperience in determining such relationships.

[[File:Pikachu Bad Mood.png|thumb|250px|Pikachu in a bad mood]]
In general, Pikachu as a species is not particularly powerful, but Ash's Pikachu is an anomaly, overcoming odds in {{pkmn|battle}} numerous times. In ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'', {{MTR}} remarked that Pikachu's power "far exceeds its evolutionary level". In ''[[EP005|Showdown in Pewter City]]'', he defeated [[Brock's Onix]] with an {{type|Electric}} attack that triggered the sprinkler system causing Onix to be drenched in water, one of its weaknesses. Ash's Pikachu has also defeated very powerful Pokémon that Ash's other Pokémon were unable to, such as {{p|Dragonite}}, {{p|Metagross}} and [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] {{TP|Korrina|Lucario}}. He was also the second of Ash's Pokémon to defeat a legendary Pokémon in battle, defeating [[Brandon's legendary titans#Regice|Brandon's Regice]] to win the Brave Symbol. He later fought {{si|Tobias}}'s Latios to a draw in [[DP189|the semi-finals]] of the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]]. He has helped Ash win countless battles and [[Gym]] and {{pkmn|League}} matches.

The possibility of evolving into Raichu was first raised in the episode ''[[EP014|Electric Shock Showdown]]''. After suffering a crushing defeat by [[Lt. Surge's Raichu]], Nurse Joy presented Ash with a Thunder Stone. Ash allowed Pikachu to decide, but it smacked the stone away with his tail, choosing to become stronger as it is, and defeated Raichu using its superior speed. In the Sinnoh region, Pikachu [[DP074|battled]] a Raichu belonging to a trainer named [[Sho]]. The two were evenly matched, until Raichu used {{m|Hyper Beam}} to secure victory, a move Pikachu could not learn. At a Pokémon Center, Ash revealed that he kept the Thunder Stone he acquired in Vermilion City in case Pikachu changed his mind about evolving. Once again, Pikachu chose not to evolve, and defeated Sho's Raichu in a rematch with a combination of speed and spinning techniques learned from {{an|Dawn}}. In the interim, {{TRT}} stole the Thunder Stone, as they also liked Pikachu to stay as he is.

However, at times, {{p|Pikachu}} has lived up to his species' frail and brittle strengths, particularly in Gym battles where he was defeated with relative ease by his opponent; for example, he was overpowered very easily by Lt. Surge's Raichu, [[Sabrina's Kadabra]], [[Blaine's Magmar]], [[Bugsy]]'s {{p|Scyther}}, [[Whitney's Miltank]], [[Chuck]]'s {{p|Poliwrath}}, [[Roark's Rampardos]], [[Fantina's Drifblim]], [[Cress]]'s {{p|Panpour}}, and [[Viola]]'s {{p|Surskit}}, despite having a type advantage with Scyther, Poliwrath, Drifblim, Panpour, and Surskit. He also drew against [[Winona]]'s {{p|Pelipper}} and [[Norman]]'s {{p|Vigoroth}}, and struggled against [[Crasher Wake]]'s {{p|Floatzel}}. Furthermore, he has lost twice to [[Trip's Serperior]], as a Snivy in ''[[BW001|In the Shadow of Zekrom!]]'' and a Servine in ''[[BW010|A Rival Battle for Club Champ!]]'', despite Trip being a starting Trainer and recently having obtained Serperior. In addition, Pikachu tends to struggle when his mobility is hindered, such as when the aforementioned Panpour weakened Volt Tackle with {{m|Mud Sport}}, or when his legs were numbed by [[Wulfric]]'s {{p|Bergmite}} and its {{m|Icy Wind}}, preventing him from using Quick Attack.

Pikachu became the second non-legendary Pokémon to defeat a [[legendary Pokémon]] in the anime after {{AP|Charizard}}, beating {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}}'s {{DL|Brandon's legendary titans|Regice}} in ''[[AG190|Pace - The Final Frontier!]]'', giving Ash his final [[Symbol|Frontier Symbol]].

[[File:Ash Pikachu and Dawn Piplup.png|thumb|left|250px|Pikachu walking along Dawn's Piplup]]
Pikachu is also the only one of Ash's Pokémon to accompany him to the [[Hoenn]], [[Unova]], [[Kalos]], and [[Alola]] regions, and was intended to be the only Pokémon to accompany him to [[Sinnoh]] before {{AP|Aipom}} was discovered to have stowed away on the ship Ash was taking. Up until the capture of [[Dawn's Pachirisu]], Pikachu was the only {{type|Electric}} Pokémon in the anime owned by a main character.

Pikachu is always becoming a constant target whenever he gets captured by Team Rocket. Sometimes, they succeed with nets, cages, capsules or different devices, but most of the time their plans always failed by Ash and his friends or something else. Whenever Pikachu gets released from their trap and reunites with Ash, he sends Team Rocket blasting off with his {{t|Electric}} attacks. Most of time in this case, his Thunderbolt. Sometimes, Pikachu sends them away even when he didn't get stolen. On other occasions, he battles them with Ash.

Even with his high level of electrical power, Pikachu has not stopped learning new attacks. Upon learning that [[Roxanne]], the Rustboro Gym Leader used Rock types, Ash had Pikachu begin learning Iron Tail in ''[[AG013|All Things Bright and Beautifly!]]''. After training hard, Pikachu finally perfected it in ''[[AG016|The Winner by a Nosepass]]'', where he used it to defeat Roxanne's {{p|Nosepass}} and earn Ash his first Hoenn Badge. In addition to giving Pikachu an advantage over Rock types, Iron Tail has allowed Pikachu to defeat many powerful opponents. In ''[[AG150|May's Egg-Cellent Adventure]]'', during a battle with Team Rocket, Ash ordered Pikachu to do a Quick Attack. Much to the surprise of Ash and his friends, the Quick Attack morphed into Volt Tackle which sent Team Rocket blasting off. Until ''[[BW020|Dancing With the Ducklett Trio!]]'', it has been one of Pikachu's signature moves, in which Pikachu replaced it with Electro Ball, which it learned while battling a trio of annoying {{p|Ducklett}}. Not only that, Pikachu has used his Ability, {{a|Static}}, a few times in the anime.

===Pikachu's imitations===
Pikachu has demonstrated a great talent for mimicking Pokémon, altering the look of his physical features to match another Pokémon's appearance. He will occasionally use this talent to specify what Pokémon or person he is talking about. These imitation skills were notably put to use during the [[Pokémon Dress-Up Contest]], where Pikachu was able to thrill the audience without the need for a costume or make-up.

===Pikachu's language===
Some of [[Pokémon language|Pikachu's speech]] is consistent enough that it seems that some phrases actually mean something. (In ''[[DP115|Stealing The Conversation!]]'', {{TRT}} refers to this language as "PikaSpeak," but this most likely isn't official.) For instance, Pikachu always uses "Pikapi" when referring to Ash (notice that it sounds somewhat similar to "Satoshi"). Other speech includes:
* Pi-Kachu: ''[[Dawn's Piplup|Pochama]]'' (Piplup)
* Pikachu-Pi: ''{{an|Misty|Kasumi}}'' (Misty)
* Pika-Chu: ''{{an|Brock|Takeshi}}'' (Brock), ''[[Iris's Axew|Kibago]]'' (Axew)
* Pikaka: ''{{an|Dawn|Hikari}}'' (Dawn)
* PiPiPi: ''{{TP|Misty|Togepy|Togepi}}'' (Togepi)
* PikakaPika: ''[[Ash's Bulbasaur|Fushigidane]]'' (Bulbasaur)
* PikaPika: ''[[Ash's Squirtle|Zenigame]]'' (Squirtle), ''[[Ash's Staraptor|Mukuhawk]]'' (Staraptor), ''[[Ash's Infernape|Goukazaru]]'' (Infernape) '' [[Ash's Palpitoad|Gamagaru]]'' (Palpitoad) or ''[[BW129|Marilli]]'' (Azumarill)
* PiPi-kachu: ''[[Team Rocket trio|Rocket-dan]]'' (Team Rocket)
* Pi-Pikachu: ''[[Gotta catch 'em all!|Get da ze!]]'' (He says this after Ash wins a Badge, catches a new Pokémon or anything similar.)
** Pikachu may not be the only one to use this phrase, as other Pokémon do this as well. For example, when Iris caught Emolga, Axew said Ax-Axew (Ki-Kibago in the Japanese). This also happened when Iris caught {{TP|Iris|Gible}} in [[SS028]].
* Pika-Pikachu: When referring to or introducing himself.
* Chaa: Anything he says happily or excitedly, or when yawning.
* Pika!: "Matte!", or saying "Wait!"
* Pi-kaPika: "Sayōnara," or saying "Good-bye."

==In the games==
{{main|Red's Pikachu (game)}}
In the main series, {{ga|Red's Pikachu}} is noticeably based on Ash's Pikachu: not only does {{ga|Red}} receive it from [[Professor Oak]] after his rival, Oak's grandson, takes the last [[starter Pokémon]] in {{game|Yellow}}, but it [[walking Pokémon|follows Red around]] rather than being kept in a Poké Ball. In [[Generation II]] and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, Pikachu is the highest-leveled member of Red's team when he is encountered at [[Mt. Silver]], and the highest leveled Pokémon owned by a Trainer in the entire series excluding battle arenas. His moves, notably in HeartGold and SoulSilver, are the four moves most used by Ash's Pikachu at the time of the games' release. Pikachu was one of {{Ash}}'s three Pokémon in {{g|Puzzle League}}. The Pikachu in the Super Smash Bros. series may be based on Ash's Pikachu.

====Pikachu in a cap====
[[File:Cap Pikachu Pikashunium Z Event.png|thumb|240px|Event artwork]]
{{bulbanews/3|Cap Pikachu, Pikashunium Z to be available in Japan|I Choose You Cap Pikachu to appear in Ultra Sun, Ultra Moon|Ash hat Pikachu distribution announced for American, PAL region games}}
These cap-wearing Pikachu are {{pkmn2|event}}-exclusive Pokémon that debuted in [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]], and were distributed in celebration of the [[Pokémon anime]]'s 20th movie, ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'', and by extension, the anime's 20th anniversary. Like Ash's Pikachu, these Pikachu are always [[gender|male]] and cannot evolve. They also have access to the exclusive [[Z-Crystal]], [[Pikashunium Z]], and its [[Z-Move]], {{m|10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt}}.

In Japan, the Pikachu were distributed via single-use [[serial code]] to those who pre-ordered tickets to the 20th movie, with one code per ticket. The Pikachu received depended on the date the player redeemed the code. The codes only worked on Japanese region games. The first time the player uses one of these serial codes, they also received a complimentary Pikashunium Z.

In American, PAL, and Taiwanese region games, the Pikachu were distributed through a single-use public serial code released via the Pokémon website and in a similar vein to the Japanese event—the Pikachu received depended on the date the player redeems the code. The first time the player uses one of these serial codes, they also received a complimentary Pikashunium Z.

A seventh Cap Pikachu, wearing the hat Ash wears in [[M20|the twentieth movie]], debuted in [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]]. In Japan, it was distributed via [[QR Code]] on a special [[Pokémon Ga-Olé]] disc. In the Americas, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand, it was distributed via a QR Code that was given to those who attend screenings of the 20th movie.

From November 9th,2018 to November 30th,2018, distributed five Cap Pikachus via Mystery Gift, each of which is a different Cap, Allowing Players to Get all Cap Pikachus. Each Pikachu came at a different level and knew a slightly different moveset that reflects the attacks it used at that point in the series.

==Trivia==
[[File:Surfing Pikachu BW087.png|thumb|200px|Pikachu {{DL|Pikachu variants|Surfing Pikachu|surfing}}]]
[[File:Pikachu as female Pikachu.png|thumb|200px|Pikachu disguised as a female]]
* Pikachu is {{Ash}}'s only {{type|Electric}} Pokémon and was the only Electric-type owned by a main character in the anime until the capture of {{TP|Dawn|Pachirisu}} by {{an|Dawn}}.
* For [[DP013]], [[Professor Oak's Big Pokémon Encyclopedia]] is about Ash's Pikachu. He writes this Pokémon senryū about him: パートナー　サトシとピカチュウ　いいかんじ ''Partners Satoshi and Pikachu: a pleasant feeling''.
* Pikachu was the first of Ash's Pokémon to habitually disobey him. Other Pokémon that would do so, and are better remembered for their disobedience than Pikachu, are {{AP|Primeape}} and {{AP|Charizard}}.
* Pikachu is the second Pokémon in the entire {{pkmn|anime}} series to have managed to defeat a [[Legendary Pokémon]], which he did by defeating {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}}'s {{DL|Brandon's legendary titans|Regice}} in ''[[AG190|Pace - The Final Frontier!]]''.
** Pikachu is also the only Pokémon in the entire series that has been able to defeat two [[Legendary Pokémon]], being able to take out Brandon's {{p|Regice}} in ''[[AG190|Pace - The Final Frontier!]]'' and {{si|Tobias}}'s {{p|Latios}} in ''[[DP189|The Semi-Final Frontier!]]'', although in the latter case, it was a draw, as Pikachu knocked himself out in the process.
* In ''[[DP142|Where No Togepi Has Gone Before!]]'', it was officially confirmed that Pikachu is [[gender|male]], as a female {{p|Togepi}}'s {{m|Attract}} affected him. His physical appearance could not be used as proof, since [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|gender differences]] were not implemented until after he had debuted in the anime.
** Pikachu's [[gender]] had already been assumed male in the dub, where male pronouns such as "he" were used to refer to Pikachu. To a lesser extent, his gender was also previously implied in the Japanese versions, specifically in ''[[EP017|Island of the Giant Pokémon]]'' (where he used masculine pronouns), ''[[EP052|Princess vs. Princess]]'' (Pikachu was shown when the narrator said that males had to carry packages), and in ''[[EP063|The Battle of the Badge]]'', where Brock referred to Ash and Pikachu as being "those guys" when touched by their loyalty.
** The first time Pikachu's gender difference was pointed out was in ''[[BW098|Beauties Battling for Pride and Prestige!]]'', where Pikachu was disguised as a female by sticking a heart-shaped piece of paper on his tail.
* Pikachu is the only Pokémon of Ash's to be used in every Gym battle in [[Johto|a region]].
* In {{pmin|Latin America}}, {{wp|Cartoon Network}} has a "Biografía Toon" (''Toon Biography'') segment, which consists of biographies and histories of cartoon characters. This segment has done a two-part feature on Ash's Pikachu. According to the segment, Pikachu is the result of an experiment conducted by {{an|Professor Oak}} and allegedly destroyed the lab where he was created in a momentary loss of control.
* ''[[DP170|An Elite Coverup!]]'' has been the only time when Ash does not use Pikachu against an [[Elite Four]] member.
* Pikachu is the first evolved Pokémon Ash obtained, although at the time Ash obtained Pikachu, he did not yet have a {{p|Pichu|pre-evolved form}}.
* Pikachu is Ash's only Pokémon capable of evolving by use of an evolutionary stone, not counting {{AP|Snorunt}} who could not evolve through use of an evolution stone at the time of its capture and normal evolution.
* Pikachu is the first Pokémon in the anime to defeat a Mega Evolved Pokémon without Mega Evolving, defeating [[Korrina]]'s [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] {{TP|Korrina|Lucario}} in ''[[XY044|Showdown at the Shalour Gym!]]''.
* As Pikachu hates being in his [[Poké Ball]], it is rarely ever seen, with a known total of only five confirmed appearances throughout the whole series (flashbacks not included). These being in ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', ''[[EP005|Showdown in Pewter City]]'', ''[[AG024|A Corphish Out of Water!]]'', ''[[XY020|Breaking Titles at the Chateau!]]'', and ''[[XY079|A Frenzied Factory Fiasco!]]''.

'''Red''' (Japanese: '''レッド''' ''Red'') is the [[canon]] name of the {{player|player character}} in the [[Generation I]] games [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Pokémon Red, Green]], [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|Blue]], and {{v2|Yellow}} and the male choice in their [[Generation III]] remakes {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, where his female counterpart is {{ga|Leaf}}. Prior to [[Generation II]], he was officially referred to as '''Satoshi''' (Japanese: '''{{j|サトシ}}''').

Red is known throughout as the {{pkmn|Champion}} from [[Pallet Town]], as well as the living legend for his defeat of [[Team Rocket]] in [[Kanto]] during his quest. He is the final opponent in the [[Generation II]] games {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, their [[Generation IV]] remakes {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, and {{g|Stadium 2}}. He is a participant in the [[Pokémon World Tournament]]'s [[Champions Tournament]] in {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}} and works as a boss of the [[Battle Tree]] in the [[Generation VII]] games {{pkmn|Sun and Moon|Sun, Moon}}, {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon}}.

==In the games==
{{spoilers}}
Red is introduced as a curious 11-year-old (10 in the European releases) boy from [[Pallet Town]]. According to the instruction manuals of Pokémon Red, Green, and Blue Versions, Red gained an interest in Pokémon after his best friend, {{ga|Blue}}, stopped playing with him and became a bully, although in the games [[Professor Oak]] says the two have been rivals since infancy. His adventure begins one day when Professor Oak calls the two to his lab for a [[starter Pokémon]]. Red has a choice of a {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, or {{p|Squirtle}}{{sup/1|G}}{{sup/1|RB}}{{sup/3|FRLG}}. Depending on the Pokémon that Red chooses, Blue will choose the Pokémon that has a type advantage over it{{sup/1|G}}{{sup/1|RB}}{{sup/3|FRLG}}. In {{game|Yellow}}, Red was originally intended to get an {{p|Eevee}}, which was swiped by Blue. As a result, Blue keeps the Eevee and Red receives a {{ga|Red's Pikachu|Pikachu}} that Professor Oak caught earlier{{sup/1|Y}}. Blue challenges Red to a battle immediately to test out his new Pokémon, thinking he will easily beat Red.

After Red has made his way to [[Viridian City]] to the north and taken [[Oak's Parcel|a package]] back to Oak in Pallet Town, Oak gives Red and Blue each a [[Pokédex]] with which to record data on all known Pokémon in the Kanto region to fulfill Oak's dream of creating a full guide on all Pokémon in Kanto. From here, Red and Blue journey across Kanto, collecting Pokémon to build up their teams, and defeating each of the [[Gym Leader]]s in turn, with Blue always one step ahead, showing up from time to time to impede Red's progress.

Red also comes across a gang of Pokémon thieves, [[Team Rocket]], several times through his journey. He first encounters them trying to steal fossils within Mount Moon. Then he encounters a member who is running the [[Nugget Bridge]] challenge to recruit for the organization on {{rt|24|Kanto}}; and another lone member who has stolen a [[TM]] from a family in [[Cerulean City]]. Eventually, Red uncovers a plot by Team Rocket, infiltrating their [[Rocket Hideout|hideout]] beneath the [[Celadon Game Corner]] and encountering their boss, [[Giovanni]]. Defeating him and ousting Team Rocket from Celadon, Red uses the [[Silph Scope]] that Giovanni leaves behind to battle {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon and save [[Mr. Fuji]] in the [[Pokémon Tower]] in [[Lavender Town]], who is being held hostage by Team Rocket. Red soon journeys into Saffron City in the heart of Kanto to find it overrun by Team Rocket, who is attempting to take the recently invented [[Master Ball]] from the [[Silph Co.]] President, and defeats Giovanni again, ending the group's plots for the time being.

With seven Badges in hand, Red encounters Giovanni for the final time—this time as the [[Gym Leader|Leader]] of the [[Viridian Gym]], his final obstacle before the [[Elite Four]] of [[Indigo Plateau]]. Red defeats him in battle, earning his eighth and final Badge—the {{Badge|Earth}}. He disbands Team Rocket, promising to go into solo training to become a better Trainer.

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

Red continues as a wandering Trainer, eventually making his way to the caves of [[Mt. Silver]], where he trains his Pokémon alone. In the process, he becomes so distant from the people close to him that he does not even talk to his mom via phone anymore.

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

Some time later, Red has been shown to finally come back into public life, as he enters the [[Champions Tournament]] of the [[Pokémon World Tournament]] in the [[Unova]] region. In {{game4|Sun|Moon|Sun|Moon}}, a visibly older Red is invited to work as the boss of [[Alola]]'s [[Battle Tree]] along with Blue. When {{ga|Elio}} or {{ga|Selene}} first visits the Battle Tree, they will encounter Red and Blue and battle one of them. After Red{{sup/7|SMUSUM}} or Blue{{sup/7|USUM}} is defeated at the Battle Tree proper, Red will reward the player with a full set of Kanto starter [[Mega Stone]]s.

Red makes an appearance in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]]. If the player has defeated at least 6 [[Master Trainer]]s and has 6 Pokémon in their [[party]], Red can be found by the Indigo Plateau, where he may be challenged to a battle. After being defeated, Red will grant the title of [[Pokémon Master|Battle Master]] to the player before leaving, though he will reappear for a rematch each time the player defeats the Elite Four.

Red also appears in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]]. He can battled in the Kanto [[Gym Leader Castle]] after the player has defeated all eight Kanto Gym Leaders, being the final opponent the player must defeat in order to clear the Gym Leader Castle challenge.

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

When he is encountered as an opponent in [[Generation II]] and [[Generation IV]], Red has a set team, based on Generation I in-game event Pokémon, and has the highest leveled trained Pokémon yet encountered in the series, with his {{p|Pikachu}} at level 81 in Generation II and at level 88 in Generation IV. In HeartGold and SoulSilver, when he is defeated, all Pokémon in the player's party receive the {{DL|List of Ribbons in the games|Legend Ribbon}}.

In {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}}, he can be fought in the [[Pokémon World Tournament]]'s [[Champions Tournament]], using the same team he did in Generation IV, albeit with different movesets.

In {{game4|Sun|Moon|Sun|Moon}}, Red once again uses his team from Generation IV, just with altered movesets. When battled in the [[Battle Tree]] proper, Red will use a randomly selected team from a preset selection of Pokémon.

==In the [[Super Smash Bros.]] series==
[[File:Pokemon Trainer Brawl.png|thumb|250px|left|Red in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]] with his Pokémon.]]
[[File:Pokemon Trainer SSBU.png|thumb|250px|right|Red in [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]].]]

===Super Smash Bros. Melee===
Red's hat appears as an alternate outfit worn by {{SSB|Pikachu}} from [[Super Smash Bros. Melee]] onward, possibly in specific reference to [[Pokémon Yellow Version]] (which, in turn, was inspired by the anime).

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

===Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U===
Though Red does not return as a playable character in [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]], his Charizard returns as an individual fighter. Instead, Red is featured as a trophy to represent Pokémon Trainers.

===Super Smash Bros. Ultimate===
Red returns as a playable character in [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]], alongside Squirtle, Ivysaur, and Charizard. He is once again referred to by the title of "Pokémon Trainer" and has his Pokémon battle instead of directly fighting. Additionally, {{ga|Leaf}} is featured as part of his palette swaps, sharing the same title.
{{-}}

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

==In the TCG==
This listing is of cards mentioning or featuring Red's Pokémon in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]].

{{cardlist/header|Red's Pokémon|Fire|char=yes}}
{{cardlist/entry|cardname=[[Red's Pikachu (SM-P Promo 270)]]|type=Lightning|jpset=SM-P Promotional cards|jpnum=270/SM-P}}
{{cardlist/footer|Fire}}

==In the TFG==
{{TFG ID|Next Quest|Red|42}} appears as a common Trainer figure in the launch set, {{TFG|Next Quest}}, of the [[Pokémon Trading Figure Game]]. A recolor of the original figure named {{TFG ID|Groundbreakers|Green|39}}, aptly colored with green clothes, appears as a Trainer figure in the {{TFG|Groundbreakers}} expansion.

==Counterparts==
===In the anime===
====In the main series====
{{main|Ash Ketchum}}
{{main|Ash Ketchum (M20)}}
[[File:Ash debut.png|thumb|220px|left|Ash Ketchum, Red's {{pkmn|anime}} counterpart]]
Red's [[Cross-canon counterpart|anime counterpart]], introduced in the [[EP001|first episode]], is the anime's main character, Ash Ketchum. Like Red, Ash is from Pallet Town, on a journey to become a Pokémon Master. Unlike Red, Ash's {{pkmn|journey}} did not end with Kanto, and Ash has continued through every other region introduced in the [[core series]] games, as well as the [[Orange Archipelago]] south of Kanto, taking the place of the player characters of Generation II during Johto and Generation V during Unova, and being joined by the anime counterparts of {{ga|May}}, {{ga|Dawn}}, and {{ga|Serena}} during the Hoenn, Sinnoh, and Kalos sagas. Instead of starting with one of the standard three Kanto starters, however, Ash began his journey with a {{AP|Pikachu}}, inspiring {{game|Yellow}}'s creation, as well as causing some to consider Red and Ash to be exactly the same person, most especially due to Red owning {{ga|Red's Pikachu|one}} as well.

Red has another anime counterpart, {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|M20|an alternate Ash Ketchum}}, who appeared in ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'' and ''[[M21|The Power of Us]]''; these {{series2|Sun & Moon}} {{pkmn|movie}}s are set in a timeline separate from the main series. This Ash shares the same basic characteristics as the main Ash.

====In Pokémon Origins====
{{main|Red (Origins)}}
[[File:Blaine Arcanine PO.png|thumb|220px|Red in [[Pokémon Origins]]]]
Red also had a direct counterpart that appeared as the main character of the [[Pokémon Origins]] mini-series, which takes place in a separate continuity. This counterpart shared Red's name, in-game role, and design from FireRed and LeafGreen.

====In Pokémon Generations====
[[File:Red PG.png|thumb|220px|left|Red in [[Pokémon Generations]]]]
Another direct counterpart of Red appeared in [[Pokémon Generations]]. He first appeared in ''[[PG01|The Adventure]]'', where he {{pkmn2|caught}} a {{ga|Red's Pikachu|Pikachu}} in [[Viridian Forest]]. He then went on to experience various other adventures with his Pikachu across other regions, during which he encountered various {{pkmn2|wild}} and [[Legendary Pokémon]].

Red briefly reappeared at the end of ''[[PG03|The Challenger]]'', having just defeated the [[Elite Four]] at [[Indigo Plateau]], and preparing to challenge {{ga|Blue}} for the title of the {{pkmn|Champion}}.

Like in the core series games, Red is not heard speaking during his appearances.

=====Pokémon=====

|desc={{p|Pikachu}} is one of Red's Pokémon and has been used by him in many of his battles.

Red encountered Pikachu while in [[Viridian Forest]]. He sent out his {{p|Bulbasaur}} against it, but caught it in a [[Poké Ball]] without battling. After catching it, Red immediately let it out its Poké Ball and had it battle a {{p|Caterpie}}.

Pikachu continued to travel with its trainer throughout [[Johto]], [[Hoenn]], [[Sinnoh]], [[Unova]], and [[Kalos]], battling against Pokémon such as {{p|Wooper}}, {{p|Vigoroth}}, {{p|Probopass}}, {{p|Regigigas}}, {{p|Volcarona}}, and {{p|Noivern}}.}}

* When Red caught Pikachu, he was revealed to have already obtained at least two other Pokémon besides Bulbasaur.

=====Achievements=====
======Badges obtained======
This listing is of the [[Badge]]s Red has obtained in the [[Kanto]] region:
* At least eight Badges (prior to ''[[PG03|The Challenger]]'')

===In the manga===
Red, like most player characters, also has several counterparts in the various Pokémon manga series.

====In the Pokémon Adventures manga====
{{main|Red (Adventures)}}
{{adv|Red}} is Red's direct counterpart in [[Pokémon Adventures]].

====In the Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys manga====
Red was briefly mentioned in ''[[GB02|Falkner The Bird Keeper's Challenge!!]]'' by [[Professor Oak]], who said that {{GnB|Gold}} looks similar to him. However, due to the manga ending soon after Gold reaching [[Cianwood City]], Red was never seen in the flesh.

====In the Pocket Monsters HGSS Jō's Big Adventure manga====
[[File:Red JBA.png|thumb|150px|Red in Pocket Monsters HGSS Jō's Big Adventure]]
Red made an appearance in the [[JBA6|final chapter]] of [[Pocket Monsters HGSS Jō's Big Adventure]]. He was first mentioned by {{ga|Blue}} after [[Jō]]'s battle with the {{ci|Viridian}} [[Gym Leader]]. Jō later encountered Red when he reached the top of [[Mt. Silver]], ready to battle him.

====Pokémon====

[[Shu]] from [[Pokémon Gotta Catch 'Em All]] is based on Red.

====In the Pokémon Pocket Monsters manga====
{{main|Red (Pocket Monsters)}}
{{OBP|Red|Pocket Monsters}} shares his game counterpart's name and appearance in [[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]].

There is also a character in [[Pokémon Ruby-Sapphire]] named {{OBP|Red|Ruby-Sapphire}} who is a rival of Red and is much stronger than him. This character is based on Red's appearance in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen.

====In the Pokémon Zensho manga====
{{main|Satoshi (Zensho)}}
{{Zensho|Satoshi}} from [[Pokémon Zensho]] is based on Red.

==Trivia==
[[File:GameFreak 1997 fanbook MC Satoshi.jpg|right|thumb|152px|Red was once called "Satoshi" by Game Freak]]
[[File:Ash hat OS concept art.jpg|right|thumb|160px|Concept art of original series Ash's hat]]
* In the '''''Official Fan Book of Pocket Monsters''''' (Japanese: '''{{j|ポケットモンスター公式ファンブック}}''') from 1997, [[Game Freak]] teased the supposed appearances of Red, [[Professor Oak]], and [[Giovanni]] in the upcoming {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} games.<ref>[http://hakuda2.web.fc2.com/ir/poke4/b5.html ボツポケモン応援隊] ([https://archive.is/JR0Yn archived copy])</ref> They called Red '''Satoshi''' (Japanese: '''{{j|サトシ}}'''), the Japanese name of his anime counterpart {{Ash}}, which is also the namesake of the [[Satoshi Tajiri|creator of the franchise]] and one of his default names, indicating that this is what they originally intended to call him before settling on the name "Red", one of the two original color versions of the games.
** {{ga|Ethan}}'s name was also hardcoded as Satoshi in the {{wp|Nintendo Space World}} 1997 demo of {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}.
* Red's title screen and profile front sprites from {{game|Red and Green|s}} correspond to his earlier [[Capsule Monsters]] artwork instead of his final [[Generation I]] artwork. His title screen sprite was updated in {{game|Blue| (Japanese)}} but the profile front sprite remained unchanged.
** In {{game|Yellow}}, he has no title screen sprite and his front sprite is updated in part to match his official artwork and possibly in part to match [[Ash Ketchum]], his anime counterpart, as the frontal section of his hat has the same division in the middle as [[Ash's hat]] from the {{series|original}}.
* Ash's hat in the {{series|original}} of the {{pkmn|anime}} was initially designed to be similar to Red's hat from {{game|Red and Green|s}} before undergoing several changes until the final design.
* Red's [[party]] in the Generation II games and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} is based heavily on in-game events from the Generation I games and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}:
** {{p|Charizard}}, {{p|Venusaur}}, {{p|Blastoise}}, and {{p|Pikachu}} are the [[game mascot]]s of the four Generation I games: Pokémon Red, Green, Blue, and Yellow. They are also available in all iterations of the original [[Kanto]] plot;
** {{p|Espeon}} could have been obtained as an {{p|Eevee}} in [[Celadon City]], and Eevee notably serves as {{ga|Blue}}'s {{pkmn2|starter}} in Pokémon Yellow;
** {{p|Lapras}} is given away by a [[Silph Co.]] employee shortly before [[Team Rocket]] is defeated there;
** Two {{p|Snorlax}} are required to be caught or defeated in order to travel to [[Fuchsia City]]. Furthermore, in the Generation II games and Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, only the Snorlax that was previously blocking {{rt|12|Kanto}} (now blocking the entrance to [[Diglett's Cave]]) is available to the {{player}}, suggesting that Red defeated and caught the one blocking {{rt|16|Kanto}}.
*** All of these {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} are also obtainable within Pokémon Yellow: {{ga|Red's Pikachu|Pikachu}} is obtained as the starter Pokémon; Venusaur can be evolved from the {{p|Bulbasaur}} obtained in [[Cerulean City]]; Blastoise can be evolved from the {{p|Squirtle}} obtained in [[Vermilion City]]; Charizard can be evolved from the {{p|Charmander}} obtained on {{rt|24|Kanto}}; and Snorlax, Eevee, and Lapras can be obtained by the aforementioned in-game events.
*** In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, the four game mascots all know their [[Generation III]] [[signature move]]s: Venusaur, Charizard, and Blastoise know {{m|Frenzy Plant}}, {{m|Blast Burn}} and {{m|Hydro Cannon}}, respectively, while Pikachu knows {{m|Volt Tackle}}. Furthermore, his Pikachu's moveset coincides with the four moves that [[Ash's Pikachu]] used during the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}} of the anime: Volt Tackle, {{m|Quick Attack}}, {{m|Iron Tail}}, and {{m|Thunderbolt}}.
** In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, apart from his Venusaur and Blastoise being fully evolved, Red's team is identical to that of [[Ash Ketchum]] throughout most of the [[S02|Orange Islands]] anime arc ([[Ash's Bulbasaur]] and {{AP|Squirtle}} were at the time, and still are presently, in their base forms).
* At level 88, Red's Pikachu in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} is the highest-leveled Pokémon owned by a non-player character outside of battle facilities.
** However, in {{game|Black and White|s}}, the level of {{tc|Lass}} Dye's {{p|Whimsicott}}{{sup/5|B}}/{{p|Lilligant}}{{sup/5|W}} in [[Nacrene City]] is variable and can exceed that of Red's Pikachu, depending on the level of the Pokémon that is [[trade]]d to her.
* When Red is encountered at the summit of Mt. Silver during Generation II and Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, he has no speech, merely repeating sets of {{wp|ellipsis|ellipses}}  before beginning the {{pkmn|battle}}. This is a reference to his silent role in [[Generation I]], as he only answered choice questions like <sc>Yes</sc> or <sc>No</sc>. This unique characteristic remains in later [[generation]]s, especially in the [[remake]]s.
** In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, {{ga|Blue}} sarcastically calls him a "chatty gossip".
*** Blue also jokes about this in [[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Sun, Moon]], [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon]].
** Despite the ellipses before the battle, when talking to {{OBP|Copycat|character}} in Generation I and Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, the dialogue is the following:

{{sign|FRLGspeech|header}}
{{sign|FRLGspeech|<Player>: Hi!}}
{{sign|FRLGspeech|Do you like POKéMON?}}
{{sign|FRLGspeech|}}
{{sign|FRLGspeech|<Player>: Uh, no, I just asked you.}}
{{sign|FRLGspeech|}}
{{sign|FRLGspeech|<Player>: Huh?}}
{{sign|FRLGspeech|You’re strange!}}
{{sign|FRLGspeech|}}
{{sign|FRLGspeech|COPYCAT: Hmm? Quit mimicking?}}
{{sign|FRLGspeech|But, that’s my favorite hobby!}}
{{sign|FRLGspeech|footer}}

::Similarly, after giving Copycat a {{DL|Escape item|Poké Doll}} and receiving [[TM31]]{{sup/1|RGBY}} or having her teach {{m|Mimic}} to a compatible {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}{{sup/3|FRLG}} in return, another brief chatter ensues if the player talks to her again:

{{sign|FRLGspeech|header}}
{{sign|FRLGspeech|<Player>: Hi!}}
{{sign|FRLGspeech|Thanks for earlier!}}
{{sign|FRLGspeech|}}
{{sign|FRLGspeech|<Player>: Pardon?}}
{{sign|FRLGspeech|}}
{{sign|FRLGspeech|<Player>: Is it that fun to mimic my}}
{{sign|FRLGspeech|every move?}}
{{sign|FRLGspeech|}}
{{sign|FRLGspeech|COPYCAT: You bet!}}
{{sign|FRLGspeech|It’s a scream!}}
{{sign|FRLGspeech|footer}}

::This implies that Red is speaking.
* Hidden data in the [[Generation I]] games reveals placeholder names for Red and {{ga|Blue}}:
** The unused default name for Red in the English [[Generation I]] games is <sc>[[Nintendo|Ninten]]</sc> while {{ga|Blue}}'s is <sc>{{wp|Sony}}</sc>. While it is impossible to view these names during regular gameplay, changing a few {{wp|memory address}}es in {{wp|Random-access memory|RAM}} can allow for these names to appear as shown [http://acmlm.kafuka.org/board/thread.php?pid=18912#18912 here]. This references the fact that in the years surrounding the releases of the Generation I games, Sony was Nintendo's main competition. {{wb|Ninten}} is also the default name of the main protagonist of {{wb|Mother (video game)|Mother}}, a game developed by [[Creatures, Inc.]].
** In the Japanese [[Generation I]] games, the unused default names for Red and Blue differ between {{game|Red and Green|s}} and {{game|Blue| (Japanese)}} and then between the latter and {{game|Yellow}}<ref>[http://iimarck.us/i/default-names/ Default names]</ref>:
*** In Pokémon Red and Green, Red's unused default name is やまぐち ''Yamaguchi'' while Blue's is いしはら ''Ishihara''. Yamaguchi refers to Wataru Yamaguchi, an art director that worked on the original games, while Ishihara refers to [[Tsunekazu Ishihara]], the current president and {{wp|Chief executive officer|CEO}} of [[The Pokémon Company]] and who was the games' producer at the time.
*** In Pokémon Blue, the unused default names for Red and Blue are, respectively, ゲーフリ ''Gēfuri'', an abbreviation of [[Game Freak]]'s name in Japanese (ゲームフリーク ''Gēmu Furīku''), and クリチャ ''Kuricha'', a reference to [[Creatures, Inc.]]
*** In {{game|Yellow}}, Blue's unused default name remained unaltered while Red's was subtly altered by gaining an extra digit (ゲーフリ１).
* Much like there is minimal information on his {{Ash|anime counterpart}}'s father, Red's father is mentioned only briefly when examining an {{wp|Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES}} at the [[Celadon Department Store]] in the [[Generation I]] games and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}.
* In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, Red is the only {{pkmn|Trainer}} who uses the {{pkmn|battle}} transition effect from [[Generation II]].
* All of his anime and manga counterparts also own a {{p|Pikachu}}, excluding {{Zensho|Satoshi}} from Pokémon Zensho who evolved his one into a {{p|Raichu}}.
* Along with {{ga|Blue}}, [[Lance]], and the [[Generation I]] and {{Gen|III}} [[Kanto]] [[Gym Leader]]s (excluding Giovanni and Koga), Red has appeared in almost every [[generation]] of the [[Pokémon games]], with six out of seven so far. He is the only protagonist with this feat.
* Red and [[Lance]] share the same unique {{pkmn|Champion}} battle music in [[Johto]]-based games and {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}}'s [[Champions Tournament]].
* Red's T-shirt in [[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Sun, Moon]], [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon]] bears the number 96, referencing the original Japanese release year of Pokémon Red and Green.

== Crustle and Dig ==

Just because [[Cilan's Crustle]] burrowed into the ground does not always mean that it used {{m|Dig}}. For an analogy: a ton of Flying types were seen flying in various media, but that's because they can fly naturally, not because they know the move Fly. Instead of adding it back and sparking an edit war, try bringing it up on the article's Talk Page instead. Thank you. [[User:Berrenta|Berrenta]] ([[User talk:Berrenta|talk]]) 17:39, 29 September 2013 (UTC)

== Tracey's Marill ==

Please don't add back the Fairy typing on Tracey's Marill. Because it hasn't appeared since the Fairy type has been revealed, it does not need to be changed. --[[User:Funktastic~!|'''It's''' '''Funktastic~!''']][[User talk:Funktastic~!|''話してください'']] 22:38, 29 September 2013 (UTC)

== Edit warring ==

Hello, I've noticed that you've been constantly re-adding content that has been removed several times by staff and other editors in general. This is considered edit warring, which is a {{bp|Blocking policy|blockable offense}} on Bulbapedia. Because of the amount of times you've already been edit warring today, continuing to edit war without discussion will lead to a temporary block from editing. Please keep this in mind during the future. Thank you. '''''[[User:Pokemaster97|--Pokemaster]][[User talk:Pokemaster97|97]]''''' 22:49, 29 September 2013 (UTC)

== Jessie's Woobat ==

Please do not remove the notice about the Woobat trivia. It is there to warn users not to add it because it is unnotable. Also, please do not revert a user (especially an admin), if you disagree with the reversion bring it up to the talk page of the article. Thank you for reading.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 02:50, 13 November 2013 (UTC)

== Fairy-type Pokemon on move pages ==

Please be more careful when you're adding the Fairy type to Pokemon on move pages. If the subsection (usually tutored or event moves) does not cover Generation VI, the Pokemon should not be listed as Fairy-type, since they ''weren't'' at any point that the subsection covers. It's the same reason that, above, Funktastic asked you not to change Tracey's Marill to Fairy-type. Thanks for your understanding. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 17:38, 24 December 2013 (UTC)
==Userspace limits==
Hi. I noticed you have been editing the <code>User:</code> namespace a lot recently. Please don't do it any more, though. Bulbapedia's {{bp|Userspace policy}} restricts the amount you can edit your userpage: no more than three edits per day and make sure you contribute to our {{bp|mainspace}} more than your userspace. This policy was instated to promote people helping out in the mainspace, and also to control strain on our server. Bulbapedia is an encyclopedia, after all, so help us out by contributing to some articles before coming back to your personal userpage. The more often you edit in the mainspace, the more you will be allowed to edit your userpage. Thanks! --'''[[User:Dennou Zenshi|電禅]][[User talk:Dennou Zenshi|Den Zen]]''' 18:02, 28 January 2014 (UTC)
==Hold on!==
If you did not read your last warning, then please read it now. You have edited the <code>User:</code> namespace too much. In the past, no one was allowed to edit their userpages because some users were over-editing their own userpages. Your personal editing privileges can be taken away, so please do not edit your page any more for now. Instead, how about helping contribute to some of Bulbapedia's [[Special:Random|many articles]]? Thank you. --'''[[User:Dennou Zenshi|電禅]][[User talk:Dennou Zenshi|Den Zen]]''' 18:21, 28 January 2014 (UTC)

I did see it. I stopped as soon as I did.[[User:Rahl|Chy-i]] ([[User talk:Rahl|talk]]) 01:15, 29 January 2014 (UTC)

== Your userpage ==

I noticed you copied it from my userpage, so when did you copy it, and if you don't know, I'll contact an active admin. --[[User:Cinday123|Cinday123]] ''([[User talk:Cinday123|Talk]])'' 03:51, 8 February 2014 (UTC)
I did it a few weeks ago. I'm sorry if its a problem I will change it if immediately.[[User:Rahl|Chy-i]] ([[User talk:Rahl|talk]]) 14:16, 8 February 2014 (UTC)

==Talk Page Comments==
Removing talk page comments, including the initial welcome template, is prohibited per Bulbapedia's {{bp|talk page policy}}. Please do not remove any comments in the future. If you wish to clean old comments away, you should archive your talk page instead. Thank you! --[[User:Funktastic~!|'''It's''' '''Funktastic~!''']][[User talk:Funktastic~!|''話してください'']] 21:42, 26 April 2014 (UTC)

Thank you for the info, will not happen again.[[User:Rahl|Chy-i]] ([[User talk:Rahl|talk]]) 21:47, 26 April 2014 (UTC)

== EP017 ==

Like the trivia said, they were implied to be male because of the pronouns they used that are commonly used by males. This does not mean that it is a straight up confirmation of their gender. I don't know if the staff of the past had any discussions about this, but seeing as how they've never added the gender and stuck it in the trivia, I'm guessing that they didn't count the implications as their genders being confirmed.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 12:13, 11 May 2014 (UTC)

== Far-reaching changes ==

If you want to make a structural edit that will affect a wide range of pages, as you did to many Trainers' Pokemon in the anime recently, it's usually best to suggest it on a talk page first rather than just do it, so you can get feedback on whether it's a good idea. That way, you don't waste your time making a bunch of edits that get undone, and somebody else doesn't waste their time undoing all those edits. Thanks! [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 21:13, 15 May 2014 (UTC)

== Userspace pages ==

Make sure when you're making templates or any type of userspace pages, you start the page with User:Rahl/ , or otherwise you'll make the page in the mainspace where it doesn't belong. I've moved your [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/User:Rahl/Gym_Leader_Pokemon_Template page] for you. --[[User:Funktastic~!|'''It's''' '''Funktastic~!''']][[User talk:Funktastic~!|''話してください'']] 20:02, 23 June 2014 (UTC)

Thank you. I didn't know how to fix it.[[User:Rahl|Chy-i]] ([[User talk:Rahl|talk]]) 20:52, 23 June 2014 (UTC)

== Abuse ==

Due to your numerous edits to your Gym Leader user page today, your userspace privileges have been revoked. You edited the page '''16''' times even though you're allowed to make only three userspace edits per day (provided that you've made four mainspace edits). And while the EB may give special permissions if the page in question is intended for mainspace, your page looks more like personal stuff just for fun.

You can request an admin to give you your rights back if you think you've redeemed yourself by being helpful on the mainspace.--'''[[User:Dennou Zenshi|電禅]][[User talk:Dennou Zenshi|Den Zen]]''' 17:56, 24 June 2014 (UTC)

== Your Gym Leader userpage ==

I had to go through and remove some redlinks on that page, as they have appeared in the Wanted pages. There were also some redirects, but it's mostly redlinks. Be sure to check to see if you intend to create links to pages that do not exist. If the page in question will exist later on, that's fine, but if not, either remove them or replace the link with one to a relevant page that does exist. Also, try not to get the templates {{template|color}} and {{template|color2}} confused: the latter creates a link in that color, while the former just colors the text. Just letting you know. [[User:Berrenta|Berrenta]] ([[User talk:Berrenta|talk]]) 01:35, 30 June 2014 (UTC)

Alright, thank you very much.[[User:Rahl|Chy-i]] ([[User talk:Rahl|talk]]) 01:36, 30 June 2014 (UTC)

== Fletchinder ==

Anime ≠ Games. In the anime, Pokémon have been able to use more that 4 moves at once in one episode, like [[Ash's Kingler]] and [[Misty's Gyarados]] and [[Misty's Luvdisc|Caserin]]. Also, In ''[[BW067|Cilan Takes Flight]]'', [[Cilan's Pansage]] still knew {{m|Bite}} even when in earlier episodes, he used {{m|Bullet Seed}}, {{m|Solar Beam}}, {{m|Dig}} and {{m|Rock Tomb}}. --[[User:PKMNAdventurer|PKMNAdventurer]] ([[User talk:PKMNAdventurer|talk]]) 05:46, 27 July 2014 (UTC)

While that has happened, Fletchinder has only been seen using Flame Charge. Since it learned a new move it more than likely lost one of those four moves. As soon as it is seen using them then it can be added.[[User:Rahl|Rahl]] ([[User talk:Rahl|talk]]) 01:18, 28 July 2014 (UTC)

== Genders ==

We only add in genders for Pokémon who are confirmed to have them, including the ones who are normally genderless. [[User:Pattyman|Patty]][[User talk:Pattyman|Man]] 20:04, 9 August 2014 (UTC)

== Dub titles ==

Hello, please stop adding the dub titles for now. They are not 100% confirmed yet (unless you have a source that proves otherwise). Adyniz has said "consider these unconfirmed for now" on the forums. ☼ Blazing[[User talk:Blazingfist|Fist ☼]] 16:27, 21 August 2014 (UTC)

Oh, I didn't know about that sorry. I will stop until its confirmed.[[User:Rahl|Rahl]] ([[User talk:Rahl|talk]]) 16:33, 21 August 2014 (UTC)
:It's ok. I've undone all of your dub title edits for now. It's best to wait until a staff member adds the titles or until the official Bulbagarden twitter account posts the titles. Unless of course you have a good source that confirms the titles, you can always let a staff member know. ☼ Blazing[[User talk:Blazingfist|Fist ☼]] 16:37, 21 August 2014 (UTC)

== Anime appearances ==

Who told you to go adding a new section to the anime appearances and give some Pokémon their own section? What's the difference in an "other" appearance that isn't "major" or "minor" in nature? -- '''[[User:MAGNEDETH|MAG]][[Special:Contributions/MAGNEDETH|NE]][[User talk:MAGNEDETH|DETH]]''' 16:09, 3 September 2014 (UTC)
:You mean with Magnemite and Magneton?[[User:Rahl|Rahl]] ([[User talk:Rahl|talk]]) 17:11, 3 September 2014 (UTC)

:::Some of them just happened to have a lot that said major when they weren't all that important. I figured organizing it a little bit would be helpful.[[User:Rahl|Rahl]] ([[User talk:Rahl|talk]]) 17:26, 4 September 2014 (UTC)
::::That's fine, but if it isn't major, then it's minor. There's really no reason for a middle ground. Also, when having a discussion, indent your comments using a colon. -- '''[[User:MAGNEDETH|MAG]][[Special:Contributions/MAGNEDETH|NE]][[User talk:MAGNEDETH|DETH]]''' 03:52, 5 September 2014 (UTC)
:::::When you're told to stop doing something by a staff member, especially a {{bp|Webmasters|Vice-Webmaster}}, you really should not ignore what you're being told. So, once again, if an appearance isn't major, then it's minor. There is no need for an "other" section, so stop adding them to species articles.

== Serena's Pancham ==

You probably didn't notice, but [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/User:S2daam/Serena%27s_Pancham someone already has a page for Serena's Pancham in the works]. In the future, you can [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Special%3ASearch&profile=advanced&search=&fulltext=Search&ns2=1&ns3=1&profile=advanced use] this function to see if someone already has the page in the works. ☼ Blazing[[User talk:Blazingfist|Fist ☼]] 17:11, 11 September 2014 (UTC)

Alright thank you. I will get rid of mine in that case.[[User:Rahl|Rahl]] ([[User talk:Rahl|talk]]) 01:53, 12 September 2014 (UTC)

== XY044 Gym Battle ==

Don't forget Pikachu.--JasonL 15:33, 25 September 2014 (UTC)

I usually leave Pikachu alone. I don't care for all the screen time he gets and writing about Pikachu's "glorious" gym battles just aggravates me and causes me to oppinionate what I write. If you would like to add Pikachu's gym battle to his page you can find the video here-https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGaf2eOqzGtlSeupxNROxug/videos. Rahl 17:47, 25 September 2014 (UTC)

==Just a heads up==
On your user pages "User:Rahl/Gym Leader Pokemon Template", "User:Rahl/Gym Battles", and "User:Rahl/League Battles", please use [-[File:694MS.png|link=Clemont (anime)#Heliolisk]-] (without the dash) instead of {-{MSP|694|Clemont (anime)#Heliolisk}-} to make images that act as links to other pages. The later causes the links to go to pages such as "Ash's Pikachu (Pokémon)". Thanks. [[User:Adamws|Adamws]] ([[User talk:Adamws|talk]]) 22:53, 27 September 2014 (UTC)

== Edit Warring ==

Please do not edit war. If you disagree with an edit, discuss it with the user that reverted you. Do not revert them. Thank you.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 04:15, 7 February 2015 (UTC)

== Clemont's Magneton ==

If you feel it deserves an article, create it in your userspace, not the mainspace. Just because it meets notability requirements (which I'm going to have to check to see if it is), '''does not''' mean you can just create it in the mainspace. Once it's been approved of by the admins, then it will be moved.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 13:54, 5 March 2015 (UTC)

== Cilan's Stunfisk ==

I'm only going to say this once, the moves are only marked as recent if it used them in its most recent appearance. It only used Thunderbolt and Mud Bomb in its most recent appearance, so they should be the only ones marked as recent.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 13:21, 16 March 2015 (UTC)

While that is true, it has not used Camouflage since its debut. That makes the rest of them most recent.Rahl 13:37, 16 March 2015 (UTC)
:You didn't even read what I just said. The moves are only marked as recent if it used them in its '''most recent appearance'''. It only used Thunderbolt and Mud Bomb in its '''most recent appearance'''.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 13:47, 16 March 2015 (UTC)

That is true but it is pretty obvious that it still has Scald and Sludge Bomb. Rahl 14:10, 16 March 2015 (UTC)
:A Pokémon does not forget a move like it does in the games. The anime=/=games. It may still have Camouflage, just as it may have Sludge Bomb or Scald, even if it hasn't used Camouflage since its debut.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 14:25, 16 March 2015 (UTC)

== [[Ash's Pikachu]] ==

FYI, someone already [[Talk:Ash's Pikachu#Pikachu's nature|started a discussion]] that you are [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Ash%27s_Pikachu&curid=827&diff=2283467&oldid=2283422 still asking people to start] without having even participated in the discussion. I've requested protection of the page to force discussion. [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 19:24, 19 May 2015 (UTC)
:I don't have an opinion on whether or not the nature should be in the infobox. However, constantly reverting to your preferred state and insisting that other people start a discussion without even attempting to do so yourself is unacceptable especially when you are the one that is making a change, and especially when you have been warned multiple times about edit warring. The page is now protected now, so I won't block you, but in the future, if someone reverts one of your changes to a page you are just as responsible (if not more so) for starting a discussion. --[[User:Funktastic~!|'''It's''' '''Funktastic~!''']][[User talk:Funktastic~!|''話してください'']] 19:58, 19 May 2015 (UTC)

==Hi!==
Hi! I see that you're reordering the Pokémon lists on episode pages. Please take {{bp|Manual of style/Anime/Reference list|this}} into consideration. [[Dawn's Piplup]] should precede [[Jessie's Wobbuffet]] and [[James's Mime Jr.]]! Thank you! --[[User:Mikuri|'''Mi''']][[User talk: Mikuri|'''ku''']][[Special:Contributions/Mikuri|'''ri''']] 13:50, 15 June 2015 (UTC)

I was not aware of that. Thank you for correcting me.[[User:Rahl|Rahl]] 13:53, 15 June 2015 (UTC)

== Section header levels ==

On [[Clair's Dragonair]] and other similar pages, sections such as "Personality and characteristics" and "Moves used" belong under the section it refers to, being "In the anime", unless the personality and characteristics and moves used apply in all other canons on the page. --[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 00:50, 16 June 2015 (UTC)

== Ash's Fletchinder ==

I was wondering why you deleted my part in the trivia about Ash's Fletchinder being his first Pokemon to purposefully use its ability outside of battle. Did another of his Pokemon do it before him? [[User:Srushj11|Srushj11]] ([[User talk:Srushj11|talk]]) 03:56, 16 June 2015 (UTC)

Yes Buizel used it outside of battle at some point in Sinnoh. I believe I mentioned Buizel in the comment when I removed it. [[User:Rahl|Rahl]] 12:22, 16 June 2015 (UTC)

No, Buizel use in battles the first one was in Third gym battle and second time was in battle against Mr. Mine.--[[User:SilverioFlame|SilverioBOMB ]] ([[User talk:SilverioFlame|talk]]) 07:17, 7 September 2015 (UTC)

== Question ==

I don't understand why you removed the information about Pokémon living in the Gym from the Gym pages. I saw your edit summary, but why shouldn't the information be there? I can't see why it should be restricted to Pokémon used in Gym battles. Personally, I think it makes more sense to change the heading to simply "Pokémon" and then make the clarification about ones that were used in Gym battles and the others that have only been seen residing in the Gym. [[User:Aggron989|''AGG'']][[User talk:Aggron989|''RON'']][[Special:Contributions/Aggron989|''989'']] 16:43, 23 June 2015 (UTC)

I was not the one who ended up deciding that. It was being changed when I started adding that to pages a while ago. [[User:Rahl|Rahl]] 16:51, 23 June 2015 (UTC)

:I see, sorry about that. I was looking to see if that was the case, but I couldn't tell. Thanks, though! [[User:Aggron989|''AGG'']][[User talk:Aggron989|''RON'']][[Special:Contributions/Aggron989|''989'']] 17:00, 23 June 2015 (UTC)

==Moves improvised==
Hi there! Thank you for all your help with the "Moves improvised" section. I was planning on getting screenshots for all of the combinations but I can be very lazy sometimes. It would take a while for me to get the images I needed and the ones you uploaded are just great. Thank you! ;)

On a related note, I removed the name field because there are only a few combinations that ended up getting names in the anime, such as Dragon Formation (Drew's Flygon's Dragon Breath + Drew's Absol's Razor Cut), which Lilian even called "Dragon Razor Wind" because she felt like giving a name for a combination that already had one. :'D But anyway, I don't think we should have a field for things like "Bubble-Swift combination", it's not official, it's just too obvious, and the moves involved are there for this exact purpose. Thanks again, your help is really appreciated! --[[User:Mikuri|'''Mi''']][[User talk: Mikuri|'''ku''']][[Special:Contributions/Mikuri|'''ri''']] 01:13, 7 August 2015 (UTC)
: I'm glad I could be of help and will continue working on it. Thank you for the appreciation.[[User:Rahl|Rahl]] 01:53, 7 August 2015 (UTC)

== The Preview Button ==
Instead of editing a page several times in a row, try using the preview button to make sure your edit looks the way you want it to. It's right next to the Save Page button. Please try it out, so as not to clog up the Recent Changes. Also, if you want to edit multiple sections of the page, make sure that you click "edit this page" at the top of the page rather than editing it by section. Thanks! --[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 12:44, 7 August 2015 (UTC)

== Talonflame's moves ==

Why do we need pictures of Ash's Talonflame using Peck, Razor Wind, and Steel Wing when it was still a Fletchling in its page when the latest it has been seen using those moves were when it was a Fletchinder? --[[User:PKMNAdventurer|PKMNAdventurer]] ([[User talk:PKMNAdventurer|talk]]) 18:42, 29 August 2015 (UTC)
: Because it is a page for everything about Ash's Talonflame. By your logic we should get rid of all its information as a Fletchling because it evolved. Every other page still shows moves from their older forms and this one should too.[[User:Rahl|Rahl]] ([[User talk:Rahl|talk]]) 18:47, 29 August 2015 (UTC)

== Seviper336 ==

Hello, just here to tell you that the message you left on Seviper336's page was probably a bit rude.

Hello, over the past few days, you have been involved in several edit wars that have been largely disruptive to the editing process. As an experienced user, you should know that edit warring is against Bulbapedia's {{bp|Code of conduct}} and is unacceptable. Please use the talk pages to settle disputes and once a consensus is made, make edits then, not while the discussion is actively taking place. If a user continues to revert your edits, please report them to a staff member and let us handle the situation, continuing to engage only propels the conflict. Due to the severity, you have been blocked for a week. Please keep our policies in mind once you return. Thank you.

== XY092 ==

Why is Olympia's Meowstic using Psychic without her saying to do so not an error? You said to look up Ash and Ritchie's battle, but the only thing that happened that's noticeable is Ash's Charizard refusing to listen to Ash, costing his trainer the Indigo League. --[[User:PKMNAdventurer|PKMNAdventurer]] ([[User talk:PKMNAdventurer|talk]]) 13:56, 23 October 2015 (UTC)
:Actually if you watch and listen to the battle only one command was given; Happy was told to use Sleep Powder. Every other move was done without the Trainer telling them. Pokémon use moves without being told to all the time. It's not like they can't unless the Trainer commands it. Another example would be Misty's Togepi who often used Metronome without its Trainers command.--[[User:Rahl|Rahl]] ([[User talk:Rahl|talk]]) 14:30, 23 October 2015 (UTC)
::But in the occasions where Misty's Togepi used Metronome, nobody knew that Togepi knew it. --[[User:PKMNAdventurer|PKMNAdventurer]] ([[User talk:PKMNAdventurer|talk]]) 01:21, 25 October 2015 (UTC)
:::Then look at the battle that I mentioned before. Every series has times when Pokémon act without a specific command given. It's not an error, it's more like free will.--[[User:Rahl|Rahl]] ([[User talk:Rahl|talk]]) 02:42, 25 October 2015 (UTC)

== Hello ==

It has come to my attention that you share an IP addresses with two users, specifically {{u|Pikablu}} and {{u|Reinhartmax}}. What furthers my suspicions is that all three of you are involved in the {{m|Slash}} edit war with Playerking and that Reinhartmax has made numerous edits to your userpages. You've already been asked about {{u|Rahl1}}, so that doesn't help your cause. So if you may, please explain why you share an IP address with the two users.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 05:17, 26 October 2015 (UTC)
:I usually use a school computer in one of the classrooms to do my edits since I am in there so often. I don't know either of those users.--[[User:Rahl|Rahl]] ([[User talk:Rahl|talk]]) 05:20, 26 October 2015 (UTC)
::Also Rahl1's account is my brother's account, which was figured out at least a year ago and I have many people who edit my userpage, like {{u|Playerking95}}, {{u|Pattyman}}, {{u|Seabiscuit2020}}, and {{u|JasonL}} to name a few. There have also been quite a few people involved in the discussion about the Slash move, like Playerking, as you mentioned, and {{u|05308}}.--[[User:Rahl|Rahl]] ([[User talk:Rahl|talk]]) 05:30, 26 October 2015 (UTC)

:::You initially said you wanted to keep the Rahl1 account before saying that he was your sibling. Leading me to doubt it. I singled out Reinhartmax because most of his userpage edits have been made to your userspace, one doesn't spend so much time editing a specific user's userspace.
:::And on the IP addresses, that would be believable if two of the IP addresses used did track back to an school's IP address, which they don't. One of the non school IP address have you and Pikablu using it 7 minutes apart from eachother. And the computer details do not change from user to user with those IP addresses, meaning it's coming from the same computer. So... explain?--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 05:39, 26 October 2015 (UTC)
::::I don't know when I even said I wanted to keep the Rahl1 account. I remember that he was asked about and said something like that because he was confused about what it was asking. Maybe Pikablu is one of my roommates who uses the shared computer we have in the house. I love editing on this site and I would never do anything to mess that up. Should I ask about it with them?--[[User:Rahl|Rahl]] ([[User talk:Rahl|talk]]) 11:48, 26 October 2015 (UTC)
:::::Uh... huh. So your roommate just happens to share an interest of Pokémon and just happen to stumble upon Bulbapedia and just happen to be editing in the areas you have edited?

:::::::I have 3 roommates (or housemates however you want to call it) and we all play Pokémon and we discuss it quite a lot so I think the chances are pretty high.

::::::::So you happen to have three roommates which perfectly matches the amount of users using the same IP address as you. The fact that both you and Pikablu share the exact same opinion (The moves, Dawn's Pachirisu's gender, Shauna's Ivysaur and Tierno's Blastoise should get pages) and that you ''think'' it's your roommates (and I'm pretty sure you'd know if you discuss Pokémon related topics to eachother), is why I'm suspicious.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 04:04, 27 October 2015 (UTC)
Only one of them has an account on here and I thought it was only two users that we were talking about, not three. Considering how little he edits on here I never really bothered to ask what his name was and yes his account is Pikablu. Whenever one of the four of us found something we thought was wrong on here it would come up and that's probably where some similar ideas come from. I will make sure that I don't voice my opinion if he does so it doesn't seem like I am using numbers to get something to happen.--[[User:Rahl|Rahl]] ([[User talk:Rahl|talk]]) 14:28, 27 October 2015 (UTC)
:I assumed Rahl1 was also your roommate (siblings can be roommates too :P). Wait, you didn't ask which account it is yet you know it's Pikablu? That doesn't seem right. How could you possibly know, if you've never asked?--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 04:13, 2 November 2015 (UTC)
::No I don't live with him right now and I'm talking about Pikablu because I asked (after we started this conversation) what his account name was and he said it was that.--[[User:Rahl|Rahl]] ([[User talk:Rahl|talk]]) 04:22, 2 November 2015 (UTC)

== Manga moves ==

Just letting you know that the [[Bulbapedia:Manual of style/Manga|Manual of Style]] prohibits the adding of Pokémon moves on here unless it was called out by name first. It's completely different than the anime since not many of the moves are easily recognizable. Some of the stuff that were added so far have not been confirmed by name.

:::If you check it Gold said for Togebo to use Fly.--[[User:Rahl|Rahl]] ([[User talk:Rahl|talk]]) 13:14, 5 February 2016 (UTC)
::::OK, this is getting really tiresome. I've reverted and removed edits multiple times. Just as a reminder, I will give you one, final warning: do not add any moves to a page if they haven't been outright called out. The next time I find you doing this, it will result in a block. [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] ([[User talk:Ataro|talk]]) 03:54, 25 June 2016 (UTC)

== Pokémon articles ==

Some advice, if you wanted an article from your userspace to be mainspaced, you can ask an admin to take care of the redirects blocking the move instead of transferring content from the userspace to the redirect in particular, provided that the userspace articles were approved first. [[User:Pattyman|Patty]][[User talk:Pattyman|Man]] 04:45, 27 January 2016 (UTC)

== Mainspacing articles ==

Firstly, do not move a page from your userspace to the mainspace without staff approval. You were warned similarly above with Clemont's Magneton. Just because you haven't received a response from someone you have asked to review your pages, that does not mean it is okay for you to move your pages anyway. If you must, either ask again or ask someone else, but do not take the decision into your own hands.

Secondly, as Pattyman said above, copy and pasting your article over an existing redirect is not the proper way to accomplish a move. If a redirect is in the way, please leave it to staff members to move.

:Because since Unova it has been common for Team Rocket to miss episodes. It is no longer a noteworthy thing.--[[User:Rahl|Rahl]] ([[User talk:Rahl|talk]]) 12:22, 13 May 2016 (UTC)
:Oh, I dint not know that since I've not watched the whole BW series. Thanks for your reply. → [[User talk:PikaTepig999|PikaTepig999]] 09:08, 15 May 2016 (UTC)

== Block ==

I have told you, multiple times, not to add moves that weren't used. As such, you have been blocked. Manga is a visual medium. If you cannot see a move being used, then you do not have the authority to add information about it to a page. Neither Quick Attack or Swift were actually used on panel. Even if you didn't know that, you still shouldn't have assumed they were used in the first place. [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] ([[User talk:Ataro|talk]]) 16:35, 6 July 2016 (UTC)
:I only added the info to Swift and Quick Attack because it Veevee had Swift and Quick Attack mentioned. I had no idea that they were not used, I just added it for consistency. I would appreciate if I wasn't blocked over a mistake like that. --[[User:Rahl|Rahl]] ([[User talk:Rahl|talk]]) 17:12, 6 July 2016 (UTC)

== Talk page comments ==

You've been here long enough to know that talk page comments are [[Bulbapedia:Talk page policy|not to be edited]], especially other users' comments. The only exception is if the talk page in question is linking to a red link showing up on the [[Special:WantedPages|wanted pages]] or to an [[a:Special:GloballyWantedFiles|image that doesn't exist]]. Fixing others' spelling errors is just silly—just leave the comment be. --[[User:Carmenstar97|Carmen★]] ''[[User talk:Carmenstar97|(Talk |]] [[Special:Contributions/Carmenstar97|contribs)]]'' 19:53, 22 August 2016 (UTC)
:It slipped my mind. Sorry about that.--[[User:Rahl|Rahl]] ([[User talk:Rahl|talk]]) 22:41, 22 August 2016 (UTC)

== Genderless Pokémon ==

I saw that the anime's Pokémon's gender who were normally genderless in the games were changed to genderless in the infobox. Did you have a source stating that the Pokémon were confirmed to not have a gender as games=/=anime and {{OBP|Keldeo|M15}} being male proves that normally genderless Pokémon can be male or female? If I remember correctly, only [[Professor Oak's Rotom]] was stated to not have a gender instead of the other Pokémon. [[User:Pattyman|Patty]][[User talk:Pattyman|Man]] 16:21, 24 August 2016 (UTC)
:Sorry I just assumed that they were Genderless since that is the only option for them. Like how the Forces of Nature are only male. I'll go around and get rid of what I did.--[[User:Rahl|Rahl]] ([[User talk:Rahl|talk]]) 17:07, 24 August 2016 (UTC)
::No problem, things happen. The male-only Pokémon were a separate story as the anime followed that game mechanic before. Thanks by the way for your uploads of Trainer and Pokémon images. [[User:Pattyman|Patty]][[User talk:Pattyman|Man]] 17:26, 24 August 2016 (UTC)

== Blocked again. ==

OK. I have been patient. Too patient, it seems. You have been warned no less than four times on this very page about not adding moves that have not been called out. Despite these warnings and numerous reverts and image deletions, you have continued to do so. As such, you have been blocked for a second time for this. If you continue to ignore this warning again, it will be permanent. Now please, listen to what people ask of you. [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] ([[User talk:Ataro|talk]]) 01:53, 25 August 2016 (UTC)

== Adding pictures. ==

Please, just because an image has been uploaded does not mean it needs to be added to an article immediately. I have spent the last few hours editing X's history section so I can add that image, because if I didn't, then the image would have no context towards it. After if there's no context, then the image shouldn't be there yet as it'll confuse people reading the article. In the future, assume that if a user uploads an image, that they are planning to use it somewhere. So it's not necessary to add it to the article before them. Thank you. {{unsigned|Ataro}} 20:54, 25 September 2016 (UTC)
:Alright sorry about that. If there is no context I'll refrain from adding an image from now on.--[[User:Rahl|Rahl]] ([[User talk:Rahl|talk]]) 21:04, 25 September 2016 (UTC)

== Linking to Ash's page ==

== Anime link: You're doing it wrong! ==

I see you're adding links to the Pokémon anime on each Pokémon's own page. A little tip: The article for the anime is "[[Pokémon anime]]", not just "anime". Please, use the {{template|pkmn}} template from now on, and, if you feel like it, fix the links you've already made. Thank you very much. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 17:08, 5 October 2016 (UTC)

::Typing <code><nowiki>{{pkmn|anime}}</nowiki></code> will link you to [[Pokémon anime]] with the text <code>anime</code>. Please review the {{bp|list of link templates}}.

And a few other ones I've caught: to link to Ash's page, please use the {{template|Ash}} template, and to link to Gary's page, please use the {{template|Gary}} template. Please, please, ''please'' get the basic link templates down; take a good, long look at the {{bp|list of link templates}}.

== pokémon links ==

Hey, I saw what you were doing with the anime links, that's great, how about you start from the start (Bblbasaur) and I'll start from the end (Volcanion) and we add them until we meet up? Also, don't forget to add every instances of the anime links, and other anime, such as Pokémon Origins and Generations etc. Here's a tip! Ctrl + F and search for <code>File:</code> it should make it pretty faster. :P [[User:MannedTooth| MannedTooth ]] ([[User_Talk:MannedTooth|Talk]]) 19:42, 5 October 2016 (UTC)

::FYI, as a rule, a link only needs to be done once in a section. (At the same time, though, that's not to say that ''every'' section would necessarily need a link to the same page.) [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 20:35, 5 October 2016 (UTC)

==Adventures pokemon debut section==
Ok just so that an edit war won't start, I will compromise. I'm alright with putting the owner's name beside the pokemon if it's their pokemon that debuted as the first individual of a species whole. However the Adventures manga isn't like the main series anime, although yes they are both the longest in their form of media (anime and manga respectively), that doesn't mean they have the same debut section format. In addition the anime series goes on with a single main character, being Ash, that goes through each region seemingly without a consistent timeline (being that he's still 10 by BW series despite the obvious amount of time he should have aged a bit), while in Adventures they follow different main character(s) for each arc and there is a consistent timeline (each event actually confirmed with taking years or so between each arc).[[User:Animaltamer7|Animaltamer7]]12:57, 1 November 2016 (UTC)
:I'm fine with that. I'll undo the stuff I did.--[[User:Rahl|Rahl]] ([[User talk:Rahl|talk]]) 16:17, 1 November 2016 (UTC)

== Moon's Pokemon Template ==

Is it alright if I help edit Moon's Pokemon template? [[User:Animaltamer7|Animaltamer7]]11:07, 26 December 2016 (UTC)
:Of course! Feel free to improve any of my pages.--[[User:Rahl|Rahl]] ([[User talk:Rahl|talk]]) 14:59, 26 December 2016 (UTC)

== Anime Pokemon nav templates ==

I'm gonna parrot {{u|Carmenstar97}}'s advice from another user's talk page here, but I think it's very reasonable advice: templates for anime characters' Pokémon should not be created unless at least two Pokémon belonging to that character have their own pages.

In the aired episodes, it seems like Lillie currently has ''no'' Pokemon with their own pages. Even giving you the benefit of the doubt with the Lillie's Vulpix page that was created, that's still only one. Therefore, I've moved the template you created to [[User:Rahl/Lillie's Pokémon]].

[[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 19:31, 2 February 2017 (UTC)

== Hoping Ataro reads this as I have no other way to contact him. ==

Ataro. Could you please explain to me why I am blocked. I was adding links to pages and had no idea that you would not approve of the pages. You could simply message me and say something like "those pages are not official/wanted/going to stay so stop editing them". As soon as I noticed I started to undo my edits to fix the mistakes I made. Blocking me for adding information that was there and needed links discourages me and others from editing. Hope to hear back from you.--[[User:Rahl|Rahl]] ([[User talk:Rahl|talk]]) 22:14, 27 February 2017 (UTC)
:You were blocked partially because I wanted to make sure I could revert all those edits before you or someone else added more. I did not see you reverting your edits until it was already too late. My apologies. Also, a word of warning: if you see someone like Pikablu make edits like that, don't just blindly add the pages to articles. Consult them with a higher up. I've already had to delete or revert some of Pikablu's earlier edits for similar rule-breaking. [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] ([[User talk:Ataro|talk]]) 22:31, 27 February 2017 (UTC)

== Ho-Oh and Lugia picture ==

Hey Rahl, do you have a copy of the previous picture of [[http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/File:PS165.png|this image]], because it was used as the adventures pic of the Tower duo before you updated it.[[User:Animaltamer7|Animaltamer7]]01:37, 18 March 2017 (UTC)
:I'm not sure what picture you are talking about. Do you have any other way to show me?--[[User:Rahl|Rahl]] ([[User talk:Rahl|talk]]) 17:44, 19 March 2017 (UTC)

[[File:PS165.png|thumb|200px]]
:::Just chiming in here, y'all — just go to that picture's page on the Archives, scroll to the history section at the very bottom, click on the thumbnail of the old version, and you'll get a full-res version of it. Then, you just have to save it to your computer, upload it as a new file, and change the image link on the Tower duo page. It's super simple.

== Recreating deleted categories ==

I'm going to ask you to stop adding pages to [[:Category:Pokémon with anime move errors]] for now. When you were recreating the category, you likely have noticed that the category had previously been deleted. There was very likely a logical reason behind that decision, and the category should not have been recreated without discussion. In any case, even if we were to keep the category, the pages would be added to the category through the use of the {{template|anmov}} template, and not manually (which is not preferred if we can easily do it via a template). So for now, please stop adding pages to that category, and please verify whether the category is even needed with an administrator before continuing. Thank you. --[[User:Carmenstar97|Carmen★]] ''[[User talk:Carmenstar97|(Talk |]] [[Special:Contributions/Carmenstar97|contribs)]]'' 17:51, 30 March 2017 (UTC)

==Re:Creation trio (Adventures)==
Well I was waiting for the whole mainspacing articles dilemma the editorial board was having, to be over with. Now since it seems to be over already, I'll try and ask now.[[User:Animaltamer7|Animaltamer7]]01:27, 31 March 2017 (UTC)

== Dino's Pokémon ==

I see you undid my edit on Dino's page regarding his Pokémon and so, I decided to bring this up here, instead of undoing your edit (in order to avoid edit warring). The thing is, even if they are not important, and did not even make a physical appearance, the Pokémon are all well categorized and are different species of Pokémon, and hence, by Bulbapedia's standards, must be listed separately on a character's page. [[User:Harryghost|Harryghost]] ([[User talk:Harryghost|talk]]) 17:03, 11 April 2017 (UTC)
:My apologizes, they should all be shown. However, its still taking up a lot of space to put them all like that. I've changed it so they are all shown but in a way that's more compressed.--[[User:Rahl|Rahl]] ([[User talk:Rahl|talk]]) 17:21, 11 April 2017 (UTC)
I saw your edit and I feel it looks perfect, better than I was thinking myself. Thank you! [[User:Harryghost|Harryghost]] ([[User talk:Harryghost|talk]]) 03:28, 12 April 2017 (UTC)

== Captions ==

I don't know how many more pages there even are that you could still edit, but I would suggest that changing things like "Nando and Roserade" to "Roserade and Nando" are pretty pointless edits, at least when that's all you're doing and you're doing it so widely. (Even "Nando and his Roserade" isn't at all enough of a problem to "require" a change or anything.) If you're editing one of these pages for other reasons, you're welcome to "fix" the order of such captions if you want, but if that's all you have to edit, can you maybe refrain? Like I said, it's really not that bad. Thanks. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 17:58, 23 May 2017 (UTC)
:I'll try to avoid doing it unless I have another reason to edit the page.--[[User:Rahl|Rahl]] ([[User talk:Rahl|talk]]) 23:24, 23 May 2017 (UTC)

== Please wait. ==

If it would be so kind, could you not immediately begin editing the articles when the scans of PokeSPedia are being posted. I am trying to actually translate the Abilities and natures and it is incredibly frustrating seeing levels added and nothing else, especially since it forces me to open a new tab and replace your edit with what I was typing. In the end, all you're doing is making more work. Thank you. [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] ([[User talk:Ataro|talk]]) 01:41, 14 August 2017 (UTC)
:Sorry about that. I'll stop.--[[User:Rahl|Rahl]] ([[User talk:Rahl|talk]]) 01:43, 14 August 2017 (UTC)

== Genders in the anime ==

Since you apparently did not read the edit summary that was at the top of the history of ''all'' the articles you just added genders to, let me repeat: Per Tiddlywinks on [[User talk:Master Lucario#Gender in the anime]], costumes are not proof of gender unless the episode explicitly states that the costumes indicate gender. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 22:35, 9 February 2018 (UTC)

== Adventures articles ==

While I appreciate you creating articles about Pokémon in the Pokémon Adventures manga, I must say that the articles you've created have many faults that take up other users', including my, time to fix. I'll list some of those problems for you here: 
1) Inconsistent tenses. 
2) Redirect links. 
3) Excessive use of the word "then". 
4) Grammatical errors. 
So, in the future, I request that you either avoid making these mistakes, or ask someone's help in fixing them ''before'' mainspacing the article. Thank you. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 12:05, 20 March 2018 (UTC)

:No problem, glad to help.--[[User:Rahl|Rahl]] ([[User talk:Rahl|talk]]) 14:30, 16 April 2018 (UTC)

== Something to know ==

A couple things I'd like to say about your edits today: 
1) The actual links for Pokémon Adventures chapters are formatted as "X chapter (Adventures)", not just "X chapter". 
2) Try avoid having black edges on your uploaded pictures, such as [[:File:Blacephalon Flame Burst Adventures.png|this]]. 
3) Anabel's Mismagius used {{m|Phantom Force}}, not {{m|Shadow Force}}. The latter is a signature move of Giratina. The translator must've just gotten the two mixed up.

== Ash's friends ==

Just so we don't start any edit wars, why did you remove Seaking and the Ultra Beasts from [[Ash's friends]]? Seaking was caught by Misty in [[EP168]], but immediately released afterwards. Not notable enough for its own page, sure, but it was definitely caught by her. Cilan did something similar, catching a Basculin in [[BW037]] just to release it. The Ultra Beasts are under the same rules, caught Pokémon to be released back into their natural habitats. [[User:Iml908|Iml908]] ([[User talk:Iml908|talk]]) 03:32, 23 July 2018 (UTC)
:Someone else added the Ultra Beasts to the template earlier, and this is the response they got from an admin. "The Ultra Beasts the characters caught were only owned for less than an episode, they don't count and shouldn't be added to the released section, they belong to the temporary section. The released section is only for Pokémon they've owned for a prolonged period of time."--[[User:Rahl|Rahl]] ([[User talk:Rahl|talk]]) 04:29, 23 July 2018 (UTC)
::Okay then. So, should Cilan's Basculin be removed as well? And what about the Lana's Lapras and Kiawe's Charizard, since they are only Ride Pokémon? [[User:Iml908|Iml908]] ([[User talk:Iml908|talk]]) 13:47, 23 July 2018 (UTC)
:::I forgot about Basculin, it probably should as well. Lapras and Charizard are owned by them, and Charizard even stays in Kiawe's party. I think this is just talking about only owned for one episode kind of Pokémon.--[[User:Rahl|Rahl]] ([[User talk:Rahl|talk]]) 14:09, 23 July 2018 (UTC)

I personally agree with you, but for some odd reason, {{user|Playerking95}} seems to somewhat disagree with this, calling it "speculation". I already started a discussion on the subject on his talk page, so feel free to voice your opinions on the matter there. I would've left your edit untouched otherwise, but I tried readding the info there myself earlier today, only to have my edit [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Mallow%27s_Tsareena&curid=218747&diff=2827038&oldid=2826992 undone] by a higher-up user. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 13:44, 27 July 2018 (UTC)

== Meltan ==

XD is not a main core series game... XD is a side series game. New generation Pokémon are never introduced in a main CORE series games in the prior generation.

Meltan cannot be a gen 8 pokemon as it was introduced in gen 7 and is set to appear in a gen 7 game (lets go).

The generation a Pokemon is from is defined by the generation it first appears in.

How can a gen 8 pokemon appear in a gen 7 main series game? Victini never appeared in a gen 4 main series game.

== Template:User Anime ==

I had to revert your edit there because it destroyed the template loop. Not entirely sure what that means, but it stopped the template from forming on everyone's pages. If you were trying to create a new template, you'd do best to start from scratch rather than try and put it on an existing page as each template page can only handle one template (unless you're a master of coding and can do some kind of "switch" thing). If you're confused I can find you an expert to talk to, but I hope I've made this clear. Sorry for any inconvenience! — [[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|THE TROM]] — 20:16, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

I noticed you have been editing the <code>User:</code> namespace a lot recently. You may not be aware of this, but Bulbapedia has a {{bp|Userspace policy}} that asks users to try and minimize the number of userspace edits they make in a short period of time. Heavy editing of these personal pages can put undue stress on the server, so please leave your page alone for now and go help out in the mainspace. Bulbapedia is an encyclopedia, after all, so please help us to complete it! If you edit the mainspace more often, you will be allowed to edit your userpage more often too.

If you are doing any of the wild Pokémon template redesigns relating to Generation II then you should know that the Kanto Grass does not show up in any of the Kanto locations if you use the (all=) coding if followed by the (k) coding.

If you're going to change the images on usertags, it would be ideal if you also set up a parameter to make the image selectable by the person using the tag.

== Custom PSS Icon ==

How did you get your custom PSS icon to show up on your userpage? I'm trying to get mine to show up as an image in a usertag I'm using, but it isn't working. Can they even work as an image in a usertag, or do they only work when not used in a usertag? By the way, funny that we both named our Gogoat the same thing (and we both have Greninja & Charizard). [[User:Torpoleon|Torpoleon]] ([[User talk:Torpoleon|talk]]) 21:02, 21 January 2014 (UTC)
:You're supposed to put the icon on an image hosting service like Tinypic or Imgur and post the image URL on your page. This means that it will not work with pre-existing usertags.

== Newbie question about images ==

Hi Chosen,

I am a new user and just registered my account. I have a question about using images on Bulbapedia and [http://archives.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Archives:Image_use_policy Archives:Image use policy] doesn't really answer my question. For articles about cards from the Pokemon TCG, should an image of an english card version be used if one is available? Is an english version preferred over a japanese version? Furthermore, is it okay to use an image from a third party site and upload it? For example, would it be okay to upload [http://www.collectorscache.com/StoreModules/ProductImages/347/moltresex031promo.jpg this image] in order to replace [[a:File:MoltresexNintendoPromo31.jpg]] in [[Moltres ex (Nintendo Promo 31)]]? (Can I even do this, technically, or does my account first need to be autoconfirmed or something similar?) Regards. [[User:Gengar321|Gengar321]] ([[User talk:Gengar321|talk]]) 08:11, 10 April 2014 (UTC)
:While I'm not as versed in TCG guidelines as some other members, I believe English cards should take precedence over Japanese ones. At the same time, I'd advise you take that link and contact one of the active admins found on the [[Bulbapedia:Project TCG|Project TCG page]]; we have been warned against taking certain other websites' content in the past, and TCG content is no different. If that image hasn't been uploaded to the archives already, there might be a reason. - [[User:Chosen|Chosen]] of [[User talk:Chosen|Mana]] 12:40, 10 April 2014 (UTC)
::Okay, I will follow your advice and contact one of those admins then. Thank you for your help and advice. Regards. [[User:Gengar321|Gengar321]] ([[User talk:Gengar321|talk]]) 20:34, 10 April 2014 (UTC)

== Availability template switch ==

So, with the switch from the old Availability template to the new one, are you using a set color for the Pal Park background? Because it seems the old template was using <code>locationcolor/med|land</code>, but I'm seeing different colors around the site with the new template (like a hardcoded #71AD64). Not entirely sure if I should be using a set color or not, or if it depends on the species. [[User:Schiffy|Schiffy (瀬藤健二)]] ([[User talk:Schiffy|Talk]] [[Special:Contributions/Schiffy|Contribs]]) 19:11, 4/25/2014 (UTC)
:The old availability template changed the Pal Park's slot's color depending on the area. I was trying to match that. For example, since {{p|Tentacool}} is found in the {{DL|List of Pokémon by Pal Park location|sea}}, I used <code>locationcolor/light|ocean</code> as the color. - [[User:Chosen|Chosen]] of [[User talk:Chosen|Mana]] 21:12, 25 April 2014 (UTC)

== Magma "team color change"? ==

I'm wondering where you got the idea that there's some sort of color change for Team Magma I'm not the sort to keep up with every bit of news, and from a quick look around, I don't see anything. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 21:46, 23 June 2014 (UTC)
:See the [[Team Magma]] page. [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Team_Magma&diff=1933275&oldid=1900328 For a while now], the information template has been using "ground color" as opposed to "fire color". - [[User:Chosen|Chosen]] of [[User talk:Chosen|Mana]] 00:18, 24 June 2014 (UTC)
::Okay. I was looking around the wiki some more later and figured that might be what you meant, whereas before I thought you were referring to ORAS, so I was rather lost. =P I guess neither color scheme is exactly official, but I do like it better with ground color.

== Curious ==

I saw your edits to the Clemont's Pokémon template and am wondering something. In the anime, it's been demonstrated that a trainer can only have six Pokémon. How can Clemont have ownership of all six of his and still have Dedenne for Bonnie? Does his Gym team join him after the Gym battle, forcing him to store one, or does Dedenne appear to be a special case? [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 15:43, 11 March 2015 (UTC)
:Technically, the only Pokémon in Clemont's party right now are Bunnelby, Dedenne, Chespin, and Luxray. However, since Clemont currently has access to his Gym Pokémon, they count as "Active" Pokémon in his roster. It's a case similar to Misty. - [[User:Chosen|Chosen]] of [[User talk:Chosen|Mana]] 16:37, 11 March 2015 (UTC)

:I don't see any problems, but the template should be a reflection of [[Ash Ketchum#Pokémon|the list of Pokémon]] on the main {{Ash}} page. I'll give you the chance to change the page, but you should include your reasoning in the Summary slot. - [[User:Chosen|Chosen]] of [[User talk:Chosen|Mana]] 17:00, 21 April 2015 (UTC)

== Route 14 in the anime ==

I prefer to stay away from the anime stuff because I'm not really familiar with it, but I was wondering if you could help me understand the recent edit you made to {{rt|14|Kalos}}. I've noticed these anime sections being expanded recently, and if I understand the purpose, the Pokemon section (under In the anime) for Route 14 is supposed to identify the Pokemon found there, correct?

But you changed Goomy to Goodra. And, as near as I can tell, Goodra aren't found there, that's just the home Ash's Goodra had when it was a Goomy. Is there a reason it really should be Goodra and not Goomy?

I'm also wondering if Ash's Goomy was the only Goomy in Route 14, or if there were others. It would seem to me that if Ash's Goomy ''wasn't'' the only Goomy we know that lived or lives there, then I think it shouldn't show/link to Ash's Goodra/Goomy specifically, it should show/link to generic Goomy. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 12:59, 30 April 2015 (UTC)
:Goomy was recently changed to Goodra because Ash released it to return to its homeland. There haven't been other Goomy shown living there, either. - [[User:Chosen|Chosen]] of [[User talk:Chosen|Mana]] 13:38, 30 April 2015 (UTC)

== "Fall 2015" ==

I happened to see [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=List_of_side_story_episodes&curid=97217&diff=2277776&oldid=2264148 this edit] in the history and took a look, experimenting in preview mode. When I tried "March 2015", it changed the date in the end column to say it was 62 days since the Japanese airing, which shows that the table problem comes from that column. It also means using a month and year calculates in the final column based on the first day of the month. "Fall", however, isn't a calendar month. This is why the last column indicated an unexpected parameter. The only way to solve that problem is to have each seasonal period be treated as a calculable value in the calculations (fall for instance could be September 21). Since I can't edit the template to add something like that - and don't know if it's even possible, anyway! - we can't use do that.

How that enlarged the image? I have an idea. I tested by modifying the line for SS32 to say Fall 2015. The image in that row expanded the same way. I suspect that what happens is any row formatting is disregarded if the row can't be properly completed, and any formatting that might shrink the image thus gets thrown out because the table row is not properly completed. I've forgotten a table ending tag before and ended up having nested tables; that was a bit of a mess...

I would suggest that with the final column acting that way that it would be best to put nothing but an actual date in the previous column. Not because of the image problems, but rather to prevent breaking the table. [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 06:19, 2 May 2015 (UTC)
:I agree. It appears to be an oversight within the template itself. Even if I could edit it, I don't know how any edits would affect any working uses of the template. It's best to air on the side of caution in this case. - [[User:Chosen|Chosen]] of [[User talk:Chosen|Mana]] 14:41, 2 May 2015 (UTC)

...you don't have the ability on this side to edit templates? I asked Glik if he could edit [[Template:Spritebox/3]] as the GIF images for Emerald all now have replacements at Archives, but he said he prefers Archive staff handle them. So I'm poking you. =) But being Archives staff, I realize, does not mean template editing abilities where images are involved, so might you be able to co-ordinate activities with him or another staffer for all of the new images in place for Emerald? See the upload log at Archives; I helped tag for deletion the GIFs from around 213 to the end. [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 04:18, 17 July 2015 (UTC)

== Changes to Templates ==

When working on a significant potential change to a template, it's highly advised that you create the updated template on a subpage in your userspace and thoroughly test the changes.

:Hello, MannedTooth! The best thing I would suggest is to copy that template to a subpage under your User: name.

== Regarding changes in [[XY122]] ==

Hey Chosen, you are not new here.
Don't you know that whenever you edit you need to write the reason in summary box. Well, I am new here and starting to get sick of other users. My first article was totally removed saying poorly written and incomplete plot.I accept poorly written as a good reason but incomplete, why there are many articles having incomplete plot. Besides it could have been improved instead.I let it go. Afterwards I tried wrote complete plot of XY 122. But others keep on correcting according to their own views.When Ash was little confused somebody corrected he was determined. Now you changed it back to how it was. I wrote Pikachu's lower body became frozen it was corrected to be additional effect of move now you say it became numb, although I agree with you on this point, I was not able to find a proper word when I wrote. I appreciate your editing and making article more perfect, but you edited it too much and that's what I am mad about. Anyway I let it go but tell me to edit on my talk gotta fly instead of editing almost half of the article. And remember to write reasons for your edits always.

Thanks ahead.[[User:Nikuriku|Nikuriku]] ([[User talk:Nikuriku|talk]]) 07:28, 14 June 2017 (UTC)

:Hi Nikuriku. I'll answer your questions in order.
:*Tags come in the form of two different types of templates; ones such as [[a:Template:Sugimoriart|Sugimoriart]] or [[a:Template:Mv|Mv]] that summarize the image in the summary field, and ones such as [[a:Template:i-Fairuse-game|i-Fairuse-game]] and [[a:Template:I-Fairuse-screenshot-anime|I-Fairuse-screenshot-anime]] that provide copyright iformation of the image under the licensing field. If the image is missing a summary or licencing template, you can add them to the image summary by inserting <nowiki>{{(NAME OF TEMPLATE)}}</nowiki> along with the required information.
:*You can add categories to files by adding <nowiki>[[Category:(NAME OF CATEGORY]]</nowiki> anywhere in the summary. They are typically put at the end. Likewise, you can remove categories from an image by deleting that text. Creation of categories is generally left to admins.
For pages you can watch to easily add input to the Archives, I would go to both [[a:Special:SpecialPages|special pages]] and [[a:Special:NewFiles|the gallery of new files]].

::Hi, just leaving this message as thanks for helping me regarding the Archives pages. I've become autoconfirmed now all thanks to your help which is greatly appreciated.
::Also one more question is how to delete categories altogether as I have moved some images out of categories created as a result of spelling errors e.g. category "Repidash" and due to these types of categories often containing only one image, I feel it would be better to delete them altogether.
::However even when taken out of the category, it still is recognsied as being under category Repidash despite not being part of that category anymore.
::Another thing I would like to ask is how to rename file names as File:197Espeon Colo.png is actually a picture of an Umbreon.[[User:Nikuriku|Nikuriku]] ([[User talk:Nikuriku|talk]]) 10:49, 16 June 2017 (UTC)
:::I'm happy to help. The "Repidash" category should empty itself out with time, after the servers process the edits you made to the image. As for moving, in the Archives, only Junior Administrators or above can move images. You can add <nowiki>{{move|(TITLE)}}</nowiki> to an article to bring it to the category [[a:Category:Candidates for moving|Candidates for moving]], which admins check periodically. You can also contact an admin for assistance. - [[User:Chosen|Chosen]] of [[User talk:Chosen|Mana]] 00:57, 17 June 2017 (UTC)

== Memory and Plates ==

Are we doing new item page format for every items? After seeing your work on Drives, I'm tempted to help out too. So do you need to do for Memory and Plates too? Are they roughly the same as for Drives? Or leave it to the staff members?

Secondly, for items such as NeverMeltIce, do we delete the "display=..." or put it as "<nowiki>display=[[Never-Melt Ice|Nevermeltice]]</nowiki>"? (if that make sense?) Thanks. — '''[[User:Ruixiang95|Ruixiang]][[User talk:Ruixiang95|95]]''' 17:58, 29 July 2017 (UTC)

I can understand that you are busy and such but was wondering if you could take a look at some of my possible mainspace articles and tell me if they're ready for mainspace or not, and what I can do to help get them mainspaced. https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/User:BigDocFan#Possible_Mainspace_Articles--[[User:BigDocFan|BigDocFan]] ([[User talk:BigDocFan|talk]]) 14:10, 23 August 2018 (UTC)

== Missing item pages ==

Earlier this year, you played a notable role in creating new, individual pages for each item. However, for whatever reason, the work was halted at some point, with some Key Items still lacking individual pages. Has there been any intention in creating these missing Key Item articles? --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 05:25, 21 September 2018 (UTC)
:As of this point, there is a page for every Key Item mentioned on the Generation-based Key Item Lists. Some key items, such as the [[Fishing|Rods]] and the [[Dome and Helix Fossils|Fossils]], share pages with their counterparts. Actions cannot be taken on these pages without considering how to change the related articles. - [[User:Chosen|Chosen]] of [[User talk:Chosen|Mana]] 14:08, 21 September 2018 (UTC)
::Actually, some Key Item pages '''are''' still missing. Trust me, I've checked. The Key Items that are still missing their individual pages are the Secret Key (Kanto), pre-Generation VII fishing rods, Egg Ticket, and the [[Orre]]-exclusive Key Items. Also, regarding the Fossil pages, there are plans to give each separate Fossil its own page, in case you were unaware of that. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 15:29, 21 September 2018 (UTC)
::So... shouldn't these pages be created as well? Not rushing you or anything. Just asking. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 13:47, 26 September 2018 (UTC)
:::For some of these items, a consensus would need to be reached. "Secret Key (Kanto)", for example, is a mismatch with [[Secret Key (Generation IV)]]. Moving pages is generally not done without the consensus of several staff members. The fossils, similarly, would likely involve liquidating the paired Fossil pages, which causes infrastructural concerns as we re-link every single instance of the items.
:::That said, I can probably make the case for the Fishing Rods, given how I handled the Bikes in a similar manner. The Orre Key items are rather self-contained and would require little work to revamp. - [[User:Chosen|Chosen]] of [[User talk:Chosen|Mana]] 14:22, 26 September 2018 (UTC)
::::Yeah, I could see the Secret Key page being moved to just "Secret Key" to make it fit both known Secret Keys. Regarding thr fossils, some link splitting has actually already been done in preparation for the split, and overall, the potentially remaining links that still need to be split shouldn't be too overabundant or hard to find. Thanks for agreeing with the fishing rods. And finally, for the Orre key items, I'm not quite sure if I understood what you meant, but I hope they can still be made into articles, for consistency's sake. Also, most of them seem simple enough, so can I make at least some of those articles if I feel like it and have time for it? --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 14:46, 26 September 2018 (UTC)

{{indent}}Just to jump in... The "new" image may look nice if you look at it closely at full size, but when you compare it to the current image, it falls short in a couple of (perhaps small) ways. Mainly, it's how, in the current image, Mimikyu is standing straight and facing the "camera" squarely (and centered). In the "new" image, Mimikyu is off-center, facing partly sideways, and bent back so that the ears of its costume aren't shown off fully.

'''Red''' (Japanese: '''レッド''' ''Red'') is the [[canon]] name of the {{player|player character}} in the [[Generation I]] games [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Pokémon Red, Green]], [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|Blue]], and {{v2|Yellow}} and the male choice in their [[Generation III]] remakes {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, where his female counterpart is {{ga|Leaf}}. Prior to [[Generation II]], he was officially referred to as '''Satoshi''' (Japanese: '''{{j|サトシ}}''').

Red is known throughout as the {{pkmn|Champion}} from [[Pallet Town]], as well as the living legend for his defeat of [[Team Rocket]] in [[Kanto]] during his quest. He is the final opponent in the [[Generation II]] games {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, their [[Generation IV]] remakes {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, and {{g|Stadium 2}}. He is a participant in the [[Pokémon World Tournament]]'s [[Champions Tournament]] in {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}} and works as a boss of the [[Battle Tree]] in the [[Generation VII]] games {{pkmn|Sun and Moon|Sun, Moon}}, {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon}}.

==In the games==
{{spoilers}}
Red is introduced as a curious 11-year-old (10 in the European releases) boy from [[Pallet Town]]. According to the instruction manuals of Pokémon Red, Green, and Blue Versions, Red gained an interest in Pokémon after his best friend, {{ga|Blue}}, stopped playing with him and became a bully, although in the games [[Professor Oak]] says the two have been rivals since infancy. His adventure begins one day when Professor Oak calls the two to his lab for a [[starter Pokémon]]. Red has a choice of a {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, or {{p|Squirtle}}{{sup/1|G}}{{sup/1|RB}}{{sup/3|FRLG}}. Depending on the Pokémon that Red chooses, Blue will choose the Pokémon that has a type advantage over it{{sup/1|G}}{{sup/1|RB}}{{sup/3|FRLG}}. In {{game|Yellow}}, Red was originally intended to get an {{p|Eevee}}, which was swiped by Blue. As a result, Blue keeps the Eevee and Red receives a {{ga|Red's Pikachu|Pikachu}} that Professor Oak caught earlier{{sup/1|Y}}. Blue challenges Red to a battle immediately to test out his new Pokémon, thinking he will easily beat Red.

After Red has made his way to [[Viridian City]] to the north and taken [[Oak's Parcel|a package]] back to Oak in Pallet Town, Oak gives Red and Blue each a [[Pokédex]] with which to record data on all known Pokémon in the Kanto region to fulfill Oak's dream of creating a full guide on all Pokémon in Kanto. From here, Red and Blue journey across Kanto, collecting Pokémon to build up their teams, and defeating each of the [[Gym Leader]]s in turn, with Blue always one step ahead, showing up from time to time to impede Red's progress.

Red also comes across a gang of Pokémon thieves, [[Team Rocket]], several times through his journey. He first encounters them trying to steal fossils within Mount Moon. Then he encounters a member who is running the [[Nugget Bridge]] challenge to recruit for the organization on {{rt|24|Kanto}}; and another lone member who has stolen a [[TM]] from a family in [[Cerulean City]]. Eventually, Red uncovers a plot by Team Rocket, infiltrating their [[Rocket Hideout|hideout]] beneath the [[Celadon Game Corner]] and encountering their boss, [[Giovanni]]. Defeating him and ousting Team Rocket from Celadon, Red uses the [[Silph Scope]] that Giovanni leaves behind to battle {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon and save [[Mr. Fuji]] in the [[Pokémon Tower]] in [[Lavender Town]], who is being held hostage by Team Rocket. Red soon journeys into Saffron City in the heart of Kanto to find it overrun by Team Rocket, who is attempting to take the recently invented [[Master Ball]] from the [[Silph Co.]] President, and defeats Giovanni again, ending the group's plots for the time being.

With seven Badges in hand, Red encounters Giovanni for the final time—this time as the [[Gym Leader|Leader]] of the [[Viridian Gym]], his final obstacle before the [[Elite Four]] of [[Indigo Plateau]]. Red defeats him in battle, earning his eighth and final Badge—the {{Badge|Earth}}. He disbands Team Rocket, promising to go into solo training to become a better Trainer.

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

Red continues as a wandering Trainer, eventually making his way to the caves of [[Mt. Silver]], where he trains his Pokémon alone. In the process, he becomes so distant from the people close to him that he does not even talk to his mom via phone anymore.

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

Some time later, Red has been shown to finally come back into public life, as he enters the [[Champions Tournament]] of the [[Pokémon World Tournament]] in the [[Unova]] region. In {{game4|Sun|Moon|Sun|Moon}}, a visibly older Red is invited to work as the boss of [[Alola]]'s [[Battle Tree]] along with Blue. When {{ga|Elio}} or {{ga|Selene}} first visits the Battle Tree, they will encounter Red and Blue and battle one of them. After Red{{sup/7|SMUSUM}} or Blue{{sup/7|USUM}} is defeated at the Battle Tree proper, Red will reward the player with a full set of Kanto starter [[Mega Stone]]s.

Red Appears in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]],To get to Red, the player will need to beat at least 6 Master Trainers, and have 6 Pokémon on there team. After the player Beats Him, he will appear outside the Pokémon League in the Indigo Plateau. If the Player Defeats him again and they will earn the title of Battle Master and he will then leave. He re-appears when the player defeats the Elite Four again

Red also appears in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]]. He can battled in the Kanto [[Gym Leader Castle]] after the player has defeated all eight Kanto Gym Leaders, being the final opponent the player must defeat in order to clear the Gym Leader Castle challenge.

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

When he is encountered as an opponent in [[Generation II]] and [[Generation IV]], Red has a set team, based on Generation I in-game event Pokémon, and has the highest leveled trained Pokémon yet encountered in the series, with his {{p|Pikachu}} at level 81 in Generation II and at level 88 in Generation IV. In HeartGold and SoulSilver, when he is defeated, all Pokémon in the player's party receive the {{DL|List of Ribbons in the games|Legend Ribbon}}.

In {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}}, he can be fought in the [[Pokémon World Tournament]]'s [[Champions Tournament]], using the same team he did in Generation IV, albeit with different movesets.

In {{game4|Sun|Moon|Sun|Moon}}, Red once again uses his team from Generation IV, just with altered movesets. When battled in the [[Battle Tree]] proper, Red will use a randomly selected team from a preset selection of Pokémon.

==In the [[Super Smash Bros.]] series==
[[File:Pokemon Trainer Brawl.png|thumb|250px|left|Red in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]] with his Pokémon.]]
[[File:Pokemon Trainer SSBU.png|thumb|250px|right|Red in [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]].]]

===Super Smash Bros. Melee===
Red's hat appears as an alternate outfit worn by {{SSB|Pikachu}} from [[Super Smash Bros. Melee]] onward, possibly in specific reference to [[Pokémon Yellow Version]] (which, in turn, was inspired by the anime).

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

===Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U===
Though Red does not return as a playable character in [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]], his Charizard returns as an individual fighter. Instead, Red is featured as a trophy to represent Pokémon Trainers.

===Super Smash Bros. Ultimate===
Red returns as a playable character in [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]], alongside Squirtle, Ivysaur, and Charizard. He is once again referred to by the title of "Pokémon Trainer" and has his Pokémon battle instead of directly fighting. Additionally, {{ga|Leaf}} is featured as part of his palette swaps, sharing the same title.
{{-}}

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

==In the TCG==
This listing is of cards mentioning or featuring Red's Pokémon in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]].

{{cardlist/header|Red's Pokémon|Fire|char=yes}}
{{cardlist/entry|cardname=[[Red's Pikachu (SM-P Promo 270)]]|type=Lightning|jpset=SM-P Promotional cards|jpnum=270/SM-P}}
{{cardlist/footer|Fire}}

==In the TFG==
{{TFG ID|Next Quest|Red|42}} appears as a common Trainer figure in the launch set, {{TFG|Next Quest}}, of the [[Pokémon Trading Figure Game]]. A recolor of the original figure named {{TFG ID|Groundbreakers|Green|39}}, aptly colored with green clothes, appears as a Trainer figure in the {{TFG|Groundbreakers}} expansion.

==Counterparts==
===In the anime===
====In the main series====
{{main|Ash Ketchum}}
{{main|Ash Ketchum (M20)}}
[[File:Ash debut.png|thumb|220px|left|Ash Ketchum, Red's {{pkmn|anime}} counterpart]]
Red's [[Cross-canon counterpart|anime counterpart]], introduced in the [[EP001|first episode]], is the anime's main character, Ash Ketchum. Like Red, Ash is from Pallet Town, on a journey to become a Pokémon Master. Unlike Red, Ash's {{pkmn|journey}} did not end with Kanto, and Ash has continued through every other region introduced in the [[core series]] games, as well as the [[Orange Archipelago]] south of Kanto, taking the place of the player characters of Generation II during Johto and Generation V during Unova, and being joined by the anime counterparts of {{ga|May}}, {{ga|Dawn}}, and {{ga|Serena}} during the Hoenn, Sinnoh, and Kalos sagas. Instead of starting with one of the standard three Kanto starters, however, Ash began his journey with a {{AP|Pikachu}}, inspiring {{game|Yellow}}'s creation, as well as causing some to consider Red and Ash to be exactly the same person, most especially due to Red owning {{ga|Red's Pikachu|one}} as well.

Red has another anime counterpart, {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|M20|an alternate Ash Ketchum}}, who appeared in ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'' and ''[[M21|The Power of Us]]''; these {{series2|Sun & Moon}} {{pkmn|movie}}s are set in a timeline separate from the main series. This Ash shares the same basic characteristics as the main Ash.

====In Pokémon Origins====
{{main|Red (Origins)}}
[[File:Blaine Arcanine PO.png|thumb|220px|Red in [[Pokémon Origins]]]]
Red also had a direct counterpart that appeared as the main character of the [[Pokémon Origins]] mini-series, which takes place in a separate continuity. This counterpart shared Red's name, in-game role, and design from FireRed and LeafGreen.

====In Pokémon Generations====
[[File:Red PG.png|thumb|220px|left|Red in [[Pokémon Generations]]]]
Another direct counterpart of Red appeared in [[Pokémon Generations]]. He first appeared in ''[[PG01|The Adventure]]'', where he {{pkmn2|caught}} a {{ga|Red's Pikachu|Pikachu}} in [[Viridian Forest]]. He then went on to experience various other adventures with his Pikachu across other regions, during which he encountered various {{pkmn2|wild}} and [[Legendary Pokémon]].

Red briefly reappeared at the end of ''[[PG03|The Challenger]]'', having just defeated the [[Elite Four]] at [[Indigo Plateau]], and preparing to challenge {{ga|Blue}} for the title of the {{pkmn|Champion}}.

Like in the core series games, Red is not heard speaking during his appearances.

Red encountered Pikachu while in [[Viridian Forest]]. He sent out his {{p|Bulbasaur}} against it, but caught it in a [[Poké Ball]] without battling. After catching it, Red immediately let it out its Poké Ball and had it battle a {{p|Caterpie}}.

Pikachu continued to travel with its trainer throughout [[Johto]], [[Hoenn]], [[Sinnoh]], [[Unova]], and [[Kalos]], battling against Pokémon such as {{p|Wooper}}, {{p|Vigoroth}}, {{p|Probopass}}, {{p|Regigigas}}, {{p|Volcarona}}, and {{p|Noivern}}.}}

* When Red caught Pikachu, he was revealed to have already obtained at least two other Pokémon besides Bulbasaur.

=====Achievements=====
======Badges obtained======
This listing is of the [[Badge]]s Red has obtained in the [[Kanto]] region:
* At least eight Badges (prior to ''[[PG03|The Challenger]]'')

===In the manga===
Red, like most player characters, also has several counterparts in the various Pokémon manga series.

====In the Pokémon Adventures manga====
{{main|Red (Adventures)}}
{{adv|Red}} is Red's direct counterpart in [[Pokémon Adventures]].

====In the Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys manga====
Red was briefly mentioned in ''[[GB02|Falkner The Bird Keeper's Challenge!!]]'' by [[Professor Oak]], who said that {{GnB|Gold}} looks similar to him. However, due to the manga ending soon after Gold reaching [[Cianwood City]], Red was never seen in the flesh.

====In the Pocket Monsters HGSS Jō's Big Adventure manga====
[[File:Red JBA.png|thumb|150px|Red in Pocket Monsters HGSS Jō's Big Adventure]]
Red made an appearance in the [[JBA6|final chapter]] of [[Pocket Monsters HGSS Jō's Big Adventure]]. He was first mentioned by {{ga|Blue}} after [[Jō]]'s battle with the {{ci|Viridian}} [[Gym Leader]]. Jō later encountered Red when he reached the top of [[Mt. Silver]], ready to battle him.

====Pokémon====

| {{InactivePoké|Red|Pikachu|Red Pikachu JBA.png|Electric|link=Red's Pikachu (game)}} ♂

====In The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga====
{{main|Ash Ketchum (EToP)}}
Red's anime counterpart, {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|EToP}}, appears in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]] manga.

====In the Pokémon Gotta Catch 'Em All manga====
{{main|Shu}}
[[Shu]] from [[Pokémon Gotta Catch 'Em All]] is based on Red.

====In the Pokémon Pocket Monsters manga====
{{main|Red (Pocket Monsters)}}
{{OBP|Red|Pocket Monsters}} shares his game counterpart's name and appearance in [[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]].

There is also a character in [[Pokémon Ruby-Sapphire]] named {{OBP|Red|Ruby-Sapphire}} who is a rival of Red and is much stronger than him. This character is based on Red's appearance in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen.

====In the Pokémon Zensho manga====
{{main|Satoshi (Zensho)}}
{{Zensho|Satoshi}} from [[Pokémon Zensho]] is based on Red.

==Trivia==
[[File:GameFreak 1997 fanbook MC Satoshi.jpg|right|thumb|152px|Red was once called "Satoshi" by Game Freak]]
[[File:Ash hat OS concept art.jpg|right|thumb|160px|Concept art of original series Ash's hat]]
* In the '''''Official Fan Book of Pocket Monsters''''' (Japanese: '''{{j|ポケットモンスター公式ファンブック}}''') from 1997, [[Game Freak]] teased the supposed appearances of Red, [[Professor Oak]], and [[Giovanni]] in the upcoming {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} games.<ref>[http://hakuda2.web.fc2.com/ir/poke4/b5.html ボツポケモン応援隊] ([https://archive.is/JR0Yn archived copy])</ref> They called Red '''Satoshi''' (Japanese: '''{{j|サトシ}}'''), the Japanese name of his anime counterpart {{Ash}}, which is also the namesake of the [[Satoshi Tajiri|creator of the franchise]] and one of his default names, indicating that this is what they originally intended to call him before settling on the name "Red", one of the two original color versions of the games.
** {{ga|Ethan}}'s name was also hardcoded as Satoshi in the {{wp|Nintendo Space World}} 1997 demo of {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}.
* Red's title screen and profile front sprites from {{game|Red and Green|s}} correspond to his earlier [[Capsule Monsters]] artwork instead of his final [[Generation I]] artwork. His title screen sprite was updated in {{game|Blue| (Japanese)}} but the profile front sprite remained unchanged.
** In {{game|Yellow}}, he has no title screen sprite and his front sprite is updated in part to match his official artwork and possibly in part to match [[Ash Ketchum]], his anime counterpart, as the frontal section of his hat has the same division in the middle as [[Ash's hat]] from the {{series|original}}.
* Ash's hat in the {{series|original}} of the {{pkmn|anime}} was initially designed to be similar to Red's hat from {{game|Red and Green|s}} before undergoing several changes until the final design.
* Red's [[party]] in the Generation II games and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} is based heavily on in-game events from the Generation I games and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}:
** {{p|Charizard}}, {{p|Venusaur}}, {{p|Blastoise}}, and {{p|Pikachu}} are the [[game mascot]]s of the four Generation I games: Pokémon Red, Green, Blue, and Yellow. They are also available in all iterations of the original [[Kanto]] plot;
** {{p|Espeon}} could have been obtained as an {{p|Eevee}} in [[Celadon City]], and Eevee notably serves as {{ga|Blue}}'s {{pkmn2|starter}} in Pokémon Yellow;
** {{p|Lapras}} is given away by a [[Silph Co.]] employee shortly before [[Team Rocket]] is defeated there;
** Two {{p|Snorlax}} are required to be caught or defeated in order to travel to [[Fuchsia City]]. Furthermore, in the Generation II games and Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, only the Snorlax that was previously blocking {{rt|12|Kanto}} (now blocking the entrance to [[Diglett's Cave]]) is available to the {{player}}, suggesting that Red defeated and caught the one blocking {{rt|16|Kanto}}.
*** All of these {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} are also obtainable within Pokémon Yellow: {{ga|Red's Pikachu|Pikachu}} is obtained as the starter Pokémon; Venusaur can be evolved from the {{p|Bulbasaur}} obtained in [[Cerulean City]]; Blastoise can be evolved from the {{p|Squirtle}} obtained in [[Vermilion City]]; Charizard can be evolved from the {{p|Charmander}} obtained on {{rt|24|Kanto}}; and Snorlax, Eevee, and Lapras can be obtained by the aforementioned in-game events.
*** In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, the four game mascots all know their [[Generation III]] [[signature move]]s: Venusaur, Charizard, and Blastoise know {{m|Frenzy Plant}}, {{m|Blast Burn}} and {{m|Hydro Cannon}}, respectively, while Pikachu knows {{m|Volt Tackle}}. Furthermore, his Pikachu's moveset coincides with the four moves that [[Ash's Pikachu]] used during the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}} of the anime: Volt Tackle, {{m|Quick Attack}}, {{m|Iron Tail}}, and {{m|Thunderbolt}}.
** In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, apart from his Venusaur and Blastoise being fully evolved, Red's team is identical to that of [[Ash Ketchum]] throughout most of the [[S02|Orange Islands]] anime arc ([[Ash's Bulbasaur]] and {{AP|Squirtle}} were at the time, and still are presently, in their base forms).
* At level 88, Red's Pikachu in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} is the highest-leveled Pokémon owned by a non-player character outside of battle facilities.
** However, in {{game|Black and White|s}}, the level of {{tc|Lass}} Dye's {{p|Whimsicott}}{{sup/5|B}}/{{p|Lilligant}}{{sup/5|W}} in [[Nacrene City]] is variable and can exceed that of Red's Pikachu, depending on the level of the Pokémon that is [[trade]]d to her.
* When Red is encountered at the summit of Mt. Silver during Generation II and Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, he has no speech, merely repeating sets of {{wp|ellipsis|ellipses}}  before beginning the {{pkmn|battle}}. This is a reference to his silent role in [[Generation I]], as he only answered choice questions like <sc>Yes</sc> or <sc>No</sc>. This unique characteristic remains in later [[generation]]s, especially in the [[remake]]s.
** In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, {{ga|Blue}} sarcastically calls him a "chatty gossip".
*** Blue also jokes about this in [[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Sun, Moon]], [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon]].
** Despite the ellipses before the battle, when talking to {{OBP|Copycat|character}} in Generation I and Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, the dialogue is the following:

{{sign|FRLGspeech|header}}
{{sign|FRLGspeech|<Player>: Hi!}}
{{sign|FRLGspeech|Do you like POKéMON?}}
{{sign|FRLGspeech|}}
{{sign|FRLGspeech|<Player>: Uh, no, I just asked you.}}
{{sign|FRLGspeech|}}
{{sign|FRLGspeech|<Player>: Huh?}}
{{sign|FRLGspeech|You’re strange!}}
{{sign|FRLGspeech|}}
{{sign|FRLGspeech|COPYCAT: Hmm? Quit mimicking?}}
{{sign|FRLGspeech|But, that’s my favorite hobby!}}
{{sign|FRLGspeech|footer}}

::Similarly, after giving Copycat a {{DL|Escape item|Poké Doll}} and receiving [[TM31]]{{sup/1|RGBY}} or having her teach {{m|Mimic}} to a compatible {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}{{sup/3|FRLG}} in return, another brief chatter ensues if the player talks to her again:

{{sign|FRLGspeech|header}}
{{sign|FRLGspeech|<Player>: Hi!}}
{{sign|FRLGspeech|Thanks for earlier!}}
{{sign|FRLGspeech|}}
{{sign|FRLGspeech|<Player>: Pardon?}}
{{sign|FRLGspeech|}}
{{sign|FRLGspeech|<Player>: Is it that fun to mimic my}}
{{sign|FRLGspeech|every move?}}
{{sign|FRLGspeech|}}
{{sign|FRLGspeech|COPYCAT: You bet!}}
{{sign|FRLGspeech|It’s a scream!}}
{{sign|FRLGspeech|footer}}

::This implies that Red is speaking.
* Hidden data in the [[Generation I]] games reveals placeholder names for Red and {{ga|Blue}}:
** The unused default name for Red in the English [[Generation I]] games is <sc>[[Nintendo|Ninten]]</sc> while {{ga|Blue}}'s is <sc>{{wp|Sony}}</sc>. While it is impossible to view these names during regular gameplay, changing a few {{wp|memory address}}es in {{wp|Random-access memory|RAM}} can allow for these names to appear as shown [http://acmlm.kafuka.org/board/thread.php?pid=18912#18912 here]. This references the fact that in the years surrounding the releases of the Generation I games, Sony was Nintendo's main competition. {{wb|Ninten}} is also the default name of the main protagonist of {{wb|Mother (video game)|Mother}}, a game developed by [[Creatures, Inc.]].
** In the Japanese [[Generation I]] games, the unused default names for Red and Blue differ between {{game|Red and Green|s}} and {{game|Blue| (Japanese)}} and then between the latter and {{game|Yellow}}<ref>[http://iimarck.us/i/default-names/ Default names]</ref>:
*** In Pokémon Red and Green, Red's unused default name is やまぐち ''Yamaguchi'' while Blue's is いしはら ''Ishihara''. Yamaguchi refers to Wataru Yamaguchi, an art director that worked on the original games, while Ishihara refers to [[Tsunekazu Ishihara]], the current president and {{wp|Chief executive officer|CEO}} of [[The Pokémon Company]] and who was the games' producer at the time.
*** In Pokémon Blue, the unused default names for Red and Blue are, respectively, ゲーフリ ''Gēfuri'', an abbreviation of [[Game Freak]]'s name in Japanese (ゲームフリーク ''Gēmu Furīku''), and クリチャ ''Kuricha'', a reference to [[Creatures, Inc.]]
*** In {{game|Yellow}}, Blue's unused default name remained unaltered while Red's was subtly altered by gaining an extra digit (ゲーフリ１).
* Much like there is minimal information on his {{Ash|anime counterpart}}'s father, Red's father is mentioned only briefly when examining an {{wp|Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES}} at the [[Celadon Department Store]] in the [[Generation I]] games and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}.
* In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, Red is the only {{pkmn|Trainer}} who uses the {{pkmn|battle}} transition effect from [[Generation II]].
* All of his anime and manga counterparts also own a {{p|Pikachu}}, excluding {{Zensho|Satoshi}} from Pokémon Zensho who evolved his one into a {{p|Raichu}}.
* Along with {{ga|Blue}}, [[Lance]], and the [[Generation I]] and {{Gen|III}} [[Kanto]] [[Gym Leader]]s (excluding Giovanni and Koga), Red has appeared in almost every [[generation]] of the [[Pokémon games]], with six out of seven so far. He is the only protagonist with this feat.
* Red and [[Lance]] share the same unique {{pkmn|Champion}} battle music in [[Johto]]-based games and {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}}'s [[Champions Tournament]].
* Red's T-shirt in [[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Sun, Moon]], [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon]] bears the number 96, referencing the original Japanese release year of Pokémon Red and Green.
