'''Flying Without Wings''' is a song featured in the [[Pokémon the Movie 2000 (soundtrack)|soundtrack]] of the second movie, ''[[The Power of One]]''. It is perfomed by {{wp|Westlife}}.

==Lyrics==
<ab>''
Everybody's looking for that something
One thing that makes it all complete
You'll find it in the strangest places
Places you never knew it could be

Some find it in the face of their children
Some find it in their lover's eyes
Who can deny the joy it brings
When you've found that special thing
You're flying without wings

Some find it sharing every morning
Some in their solitary lives
You'll find it in the words of others
A simple line can make you laugh or cry

You'll find it in the deepest friendship
The kind you cherish all your life
And when you know how much that means
You've found that special thing
You're flying without wings

So, impossible as they may seem
You've got to fight for every dream
Cos who's to know which one you let go
Would have made you complete

Well, for me it's waking up beside you
To watch the sunrise on your face
To know that I can say I love you
In any given time or place

It's little things that only I know
Those are the things that make you mine
And it's like flying without wings
Cos you're my special thing
I'm flying without wings

And you're the place my life begins
And you'll be where it ends

I'm flying without wings
And that's the joy you bring
I'm flying without wings''

== Gender ==

I don't think Mew's gender should be "none" since it's unknown if genderless Pokemon apply in the anime, and therefore, not 100% confirmed. In fact i think it's very unlikely that it's genderless since there was a female (mother) Lugia in the series, so it should be "Unknown" ([[User:GT4GTR|GT4GTR]] 11:17, 16 June 2008 (UTC))

== Aura Sphere ==

How did Mew used [[Aura Sphere]] here but it's introduced in [[Generation IV]]?
[[User:Palkia38|Palkia38]] 10:23, 28 July 2008 (UTC)

== Johto Region ==

Why is Mew's current location the Johto Region, it didn't appear in Mewtwo Returns as anything more than a brief vision Mewtwo had in the lake, I'd say it's current location should be unknown since it was never stated where the fossil used to clone Mewtwo came from (assuming it's the same Mew)

==Lyrics==
<ab>''Like a mountain I must conquer
Like a battle I must endure
I will fight for your honor
Steadfast and sure
Still got a vision that's fit for a king
And I've got a feeling I can do anything
And we will meet again

Yeah yeah
We will meet again

I will search the whole world over
If that's what I must do
I'll follow every winding road
Just to be with you
Cause I've got a dream that I just can't ignore
Before I get through I will open every door
And we will meet again
We will meet again

And nothing can stop this journey
Across an unknown land
and like a fire that keeps on burning
We will make our stand

We are bound together by fate
Set apart by what we've found
Yet we'll make this sacrifice
Cause we know were we are bound

Side by side we will ride once again
And if we keep the flame alive, my friend
We will meet again
We will meet again
We will meet again

I will search the whole world over
If that's what I must do
I'll follow every winding road
Just to be with you
Cause I've got a dream that I just can't ignore
Before I get through I will open very door
And we will meet again
We will meet again

And nothing can stop this journey
Across an unknown land
and like a fire that keeps on burning
We will make our stand
And we will meet again
Yeah, Yeah

AdvanceShipping

2008-07-28T14:38:04Z

Brian577:

{{ship}}

'''AdvanceShipping''' (Japanese: '''サトハル''', ''SatoHaru'') is the belief that [[Ash Ketchum]] and {{an|May}} are a couple in the anime. This [[shipping|ship]] is among the most popular of those anime in the anime, along with {{s|PokéShipping}} and {{s|ContestShipping}}

This ship is considered by some to be similar to {{s|ApprenticeShipping}}, with Ash in the role of a tutor and May as a student.

==Evidence==
[[Image:AdvanceShipping.jpg|right|thumb|Ash reassures May]]
There are many points in the anime that seem to support AdvanceShipping. Below is a list of some of the more famous examples during the two sagas in which Ash and May appear.

===Hoenn League saga===
* ''[[AG001|Get the Show on the Road]]''
:After Ash destroys May's bicycle accidentally, she angrily goes to tell him off while he is resting in the Pokémon Center. As she quietly opens the door, she watches Ash and [[Ash's Pikachu|Pikachu]] resting contently together, and she forgives him without telling him. Later on, May figuratively talks Ash into letting her travel with him. Once he says she could come along, May strikes a pose by the camera and yells "YES!" to show her enthusiasm to the audience. This coupled with the previous scene where she secretly spies on him and forgives him for his kindness with Pikachu, shows that May perhaps be taking a liking toward him.

* ''[[AG002|A Ruin with a View]]''
:Ash decides to become May's mentor for the very first time, teaching her how to capture and battle with Pokémon. The two have dinner together in a [[Pokémon Center]], and when Ash wants to find out about the [[Petalburg City|Petalburg]] Gym leader, May frantically pulls him by the arm to prevent him from finding out. It would appear that she was far more content with traveling with Ash alone before revisiting her family.

* ''[[AG017|Stairway to Devon]]''
:When Ash and May discover that a [[Team Aqua]] intruder is in the building and [[Max]] could be in potential danger, she clasps her hands and asks Ash for reassurance and support. Once Ash comforts her, she is relieved. This is the first of many scenes where May continually looks toward Ash for support and reassurance, further expanding on the mentor/student dynamic.

* ''[[AG020|Brave the Wave]]''
:On [[Dewford Town|Dewford Island]], May decides to strip into a bikini right on the beach. However, instead of just running down to the shore to take a swim, she purposely poses in her bikini in front of Ash and her brother and asks what they think. Ash appears to be embarrassed by the situation.

* ''[[AG035|Win, Lose or Drew!]]''
:After witnessing May lose her first [[Pokémon Contest]], Ash takes the blame for her loss. He says, "It’s my fault. I wish I’d spent more time with May, teaching her." Later, May is crying backstage as Ash tries unsuccessfully to cheer her up.

* ''[[AG045|A Togepi Mirage!]]''
:When Brock asks Misty and Ash to go save Togepi, May says she will go too. This may have been because she did not like the idea of Misty being alone with Ash, even though Princess Sara went with them.

* ''[[AG058|All Torkoal, No Play!]]''
:While May is clutching Torchic in her arms, the ground underneath her collapses and she falls into a chasm. Luckily, she grabs ahold of a branch that was sticking out of the wall. When May frantically calls for help, Ash steps up to rescue her. He tied a rope around his body as Max and [[Brock]] lower him down, where he grabs ahold of May's arm and reassures her that everything will be alright. Further expanding on the heroism, where May thanks Ash dearly for saving her life.

* ''[[AG067|Go Go Ludicolo]]''
:When confronted by Max whether she wants Ash to win over her Dad, [[Norman]] of the [[Gym#Petalburg Gym|Petalburg Gym]], May gives flustered responses. While Max is quick to make up his mind and cheer for his father, May on the other hand sides with Ash. Max yells, "What, how can you want Ash to win over our Dad?" to which May blushes nervously and says, "Well I want Dad to win... but I don't want Ash to lose!"
:May's choice was made up from the beginning to cheer for Ash over her father, and each time Max confronts her about it, she blushes nervously and doesn't want to give him a clear answer.

* ''[[AG072|The Bicker The Better]]''
:Considered to be the first episode where AdvanceShipping was made completely blatant to the audience, Ash and May are confronted by [[Oscar and Andi]], a young couple who are obsessed with the idea of love and romance.
:When Oscar and Andi call Ash and May a "happy couple," the two of them quickly deny it and turn their backs to one another, crossing their arms. Ash says sarcastically, "That's a laugh!" and May adds, "Hardy har har!" Oscar and Andi do not stop there, and continue to call them a couple. Ash and May scream, "We're not a couple!" in unison, with the same body language, followed by, "And we're not happy either!" in the same tone.
:As the episode pours on, Ash and May continue to argue and bicker back and forth, presumably to get their minds off the idea of being called a couple by Oscar and Andi. After a team up battle against [[Jessie]] and [[James]] at the end, Ash and May sincerely forgive each other for their argument, and deeply apologize as they stare at each other while the sunset closes behind them.

* ''[[AG073|Grass Hysteria]]''
:When May is lost in the forbidden land of the Grass Pokémon, Ash once again steps in to save her. After his Tarzan-esque entrance to save May from the fierce and threatening Grass Pokémon that were about to attack her, he grabs her by the hand and runs with her to clear a path to safety. Ash and May continue to hold hands as they are running away from the menacing Pokémon, a rare sight between them.

* ''[[AG074|Hokey Poké Balls]]''
:This episode further brings up the parallelism between Ash and May, by having their two {{p|Bulbasaur}} meet each other. However, the two Bulbasaur show signs of liking one another, a ship that is called [[VineShipping]]. Throughout the episode, May makes several comments about how their Bulbasaur are such a great team, and how they are, "Two peas in a Poképod." Before Ash sends [[Ash's Bulbasaur|Bulbasaur]] back to [[Oak]], it pats [[May's Bulbasaur]] on the head sweetly with its vine, saying goodbye. May's Bulbasaur is impressed as [[Ash's Bulbasaur]] is sent back. Vineshipping is one of the parallels that is used to push Advanceshipping, as canon characters such as [[Professor Oak]] and Brock have said in the past that Pokémon represent the feelings of their masters, and when two Pokémon fall in love, there is a good chance the trainers will too. While the Bulbasaur haven't fallen in love with each other yet, it is the first step in their parallel romance.

* ''[[AG078|Cruisin' for a Losin']]''
:May is sulking on a bench outside the Contest hall because she lost her match. Ash comes alone to comfort her, cheering her up compassionately while patting her Bulbasaur on the head and sitting next to her on the bench. This is followed by a, "Thank you Ash," from May.

* ''[[AG089|A Scare to Remember]]''
:Pikachu developed amnesia and joined [[Team Rocket]]. He ended up shocking Ash. The second time it happened, May covered her face in possible concern for Ash.

* ''[[AG098|The Scuffle of Legends]]''
:When Ash is about to hop on top of {{p|Dragonite}} and go with Lance to save Pikachu from its bonding with the blue orb and {{p|Groudon}}, May approaches Ash and says, "Don't do anything crazy Ash," in a sweet and very concerned tone.

* ''[[AG105|Once in a Mawile]]''
:In another love-themed episode, Ash is confused about the concept of love. May teases him and says, "Spoken like a maaaaaan," in the dub while she says, "And he doesn't get it," in the original raw. As the episode continues, Ash says, "No sense in going out of your way just to make somebody like you," in which May responds, "And he still acts like a man," in the dub while in the raw, "And he reeeaaaally doesn't get it." This is the second episode where May teases Ash about love.

* ''[[AG108|Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snorunt]]''
:May holds onto Ash's hat while he is lost with [[Ash's Glalie|Snorunt]] in a blizzard. May holds onto his hat during the entire search, frantically hoping to find him again, which is seen as a romantic gesture. Once they meet up again, she says, "I believe this is yours!" and kindly hands Ash back his hat.

* ''[[AG114|Date Expectations]]''
:As May is about to be crushed by a {{p|Donphan}} using [[Rollout (move)| Rollout]] attack, Ash launches his body toward May and brings her to safety. The two fall down to the ground with his arm around her torso. This is the third time Ash has saved May from danger. In the middle of the episode, Ash and May are separated from the group. May does her expedition routine and thinks about the concept of being lost with Ash in the woods forever. This idea causes her to have little red blushes on her cheeks. During the last act of the episode, May misses her chance to catch the ferry to her final Contest. In despair, she starts to cry. Sensing her pain, Ash puts his hands on her shoulders and stares at her deeply in the eyes, giving her the courage to go on while he takes care of her little brother. This is the first time in the series that Ash had ever put his hands on a girl in such a serious and compassionate manner.

===Battle Frontier saga===

* ''[[AG133|The Right Place and the Right Mime]]''
:May decides that she wants to continue traveling with Ash after Hoenn ends, which compels her to travel from the [[Hoenn]] region on her own to meet up with Ash in [[Pallet Town]]. This was before she found out there were Contests in [[Kanto]], so she decided that she wanted to be by Ash's side even if it meant not continuing her coordinator dream for the time being. Ash and May share a scene on the couch together, where Ash asks her if she wants to come along with him through Kanto. May of course agrees, while [[Delia]] is watching them converse, and blushes due to how close the two are.
:Meanwhile, May decides to leave her Bulbasaur with Ash's Bulbasaur at the lab, further following up with the concept of Vineshipping over 50 episodes ago. The two Bulbasaur again show signs of liking one another, which could be used to push Advanceshipping in the future.

* ''[[AG146|Fear Factor Phony!]]''
:When May hears sounds of scary Ghost Pokémon, she frantically goes to Ash and tries to wake him up in his sleeping bag. She presses her hands desperately against his chest to wake him up, yet she didn't do the same for Brock, who could have come to her aid just as easily. A further example of May choosing Ash over anyone else when she is in fear or doubt.

* ''[[AG152|On Olden Pond]]''
:As Ash is fishing, the line is being pulled into the water. To prevent him from going overboard, May quickly wraps her arms around his torso and presses her chest against his back. Ash puts on a flabbergasted expression as he feels May's chest pressed up against his back.

* ''[[AG159|Off the Unbeaten Path]]''
:May falls off a rope bridge and clutches for her life. Once again she cries out for Ash several times, despite the fact that Brock is standing with Ash as well. Ash calls out May's name as he pulls her to safety, but not once does May give any gratitude toward Brock for saving her, only Ash (this does not occur in the English dub, however). In the English dub Ash calls out only May's name but Max was there too.

* ''[[AG160|Harley Rides Again]]''
:James says to Ash that they were helping '''his''' girl (May) in the contest.

* ''[[AG191|Home is Where the Start Is]]''
:At the beginning, when there is only one ribbon, and they can't decide who to give the ribbon to, May looks at Ash, and Ash looks at May, and they nod at each other, and then Ash tells Sceptile to Leaf Blade the ribbon in half. This proves that sometimes Ash and May do not need to speak to each other to know what the other is thinking.

===Movies===
* ''[[Jirachi: Wish Maker]]''
:One of the nights when May folded a tab on the wishing star, she afterward looked down to Ash who was at that time; skipping rocks across a river. The camera then goes back to May, which she has a very anxious look on her face. Because of this scene, many Advanceshippers believe that May's wish had something to do with Ash (though this was never confirmed).

* ''[[Destiny Deoxys]]''
:Ash tries to pick a fight with [[Tory Lund]]. In order to stop him, May throws her body on top of Ash and tells him to please stop. She places her hands on his shoulders and desperately tries to convince him to calm down. Ash is surprised with her action, and quickly says, "Sure."

* ''[[Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]''
:Ash once again loses his cool and is mad at [[Lucario (anime)|Lucario]]. May quickly rushes down into the lake where Ash is standing and clutches to his arm, trying to prevent him from getting himself in trouble. May holds onto him frantically until the situation is resolved. Afterward, May follows Ash around "mothering" him, telling him to get himself dry before he catches a cold.
*''[[Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]''
:As Ash and May go swimming with {{p|Manaphy}}, they continuously shoot glances at each other and smile. This is accompanied by a school of {{p|Luvdisc}}, Pokémon thought to symbolize love.
:Later when they were in the submarine, May was crying up against the submarines window because she thought she had driven away Manaphy. The camera shoots a moment over to Ash who has a deeply concerned look.
:When the [[Sea Temple]] was being flooded with water, Ash put May, [[Ash's Pikachu|Pikachu]], and Manaphy in a capsule left behind by [[The Phantom]], allowing them to survive should his plan to replace the crystal fail. May continued to pray for Ash's safety and was nearly driven to tears when she thought he wouldn’t make it back. Manaphy sent May's prayers to Ash, and with these thoughts spurring him on, Ash recovered from his near-drown state and replaced the crystal, saving the Sea Temple.
:After the Sea Temple is raised, May leaves the capsule, at the beginning thrilled that the temple is saved (In the Japanese language version of the episode, she acknowledges that Satoshi is the one who saved the Temple by saying "This is Satoshi's doing, isn't it?"). Her happiness, however, is quickly replaced by sadness with the fear that Ash hasn't returned. "It can't be..." she says. "No way..." Her joy returns as soon as Ash flies up out of the water and chases down Phantom and saves the abducted Manaphy.
[[Image:AshMay&Ribbon.jpg|right|thumb|150px|Ash and May with the ribbon halves]]

===Diamond and Pearl saga===
* [[DP076]]
:May joins up with Ash, Brock, and Dawn in Sinnoh. Under a full moon, Ash and May both pull out their halves of the ribbon that they tied for, and hold the pieces together. May also says how the ribbon reminds her of Ash's encouragement, and how it has saved her numerous times in Johto.
* [[DP079]]
:Before May leaves to return to Johto, she and the rest of the group share goodbyes. She and Ash speak last, each telling the other to do their best in their respective paths. It is only when May is speaking with Ash (despite the fact she was exchanging farewells with everyone) that she holds her heart.

===Pokémon===
Ash and May have caught several of the same evolutionary lines;-
* Both have owned a {{p|Bulbasaur}} and a {{p|Squirtle}}
** The relationship between their two Bulbasaur has extended to the point where a separate shipping has been named for them, {{s|VineShipping}}.
* Ash has caught a {{p|Snorlax}} while May owns a {{p|Munchlax}}.
* Both have owned a fully evolved {{2t|Bug|Flying}} Pokémon that evolved from the first Pokémon that they caught ({{AP|Butterfree}} and {{TP|May|Beautifly}}),
* Both have a fully-evolved {{type2|Fire}} [[starter Pokémon]] from their home region ({{AP|Charizard}} and {{TP|May|Blaziken}}),
* ... and a fully-evolved {{type2|Grass}} starter Pokémon from ''each other's'' region ({{AP|Sceptile}} and {{TP|May|Venusaur}}).

==Alternate names==
AdvanceShipping has several alternate names and abbreviations that are commonly used on forums and in fanfiction. Less common variants on the name include '''AdvancedShipping''' '''MaSh''' (''Ma''y A''sh'') and ''AaMayL'', while in Japan the pairing is called '''SatoHaru''' (サトハル).

Pokémon

2008-07-03T23:36:16Z

Brian577:

[[Image:Pokémon_logo_English.png|200px|thumb|right|The logo of the Pokémon franchises]]'''Pokémon''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスター''' ''Pocket Monsters'', or '''ポケモン''' ''Pokémon'' for short) is a series of video games, now an entire franchise based around those games, that centers around the ability to "catch" and "train" creatures called ''Pokémon'', for which it is named. The term ''Pokémon'' may refer to the video game franchise, an individual Pokémon creature, or a Pokémon species.

==Name and pronunciation==
Pokémon is called "Pocket Monsters" in Japan. This would have been the name when transferred to North America, but "Pocket Monsters" would've caused trademarking problems with {{wp|Monster in My Pocket}}, so Nintendo settled on using the shortened version of the name which is also used in Japan, with the "Poké" coming from pocket and the "Mon" being derived from Monsters.

Due to the accent on the name, Pokémon has a specific pronunciation — ''Poke-Ay-Mon''. The emphasis on the '''e''' is from the accent. Other common mispronunciations include ''Poke-ee-man'', ''Poke-ee-mon'', ''Poke-ay-man'' and ''Pock-uh-mon''.

==Franchise==
Also called '''Pocket Monsters''' in Japan and some other countries, Pokémon is a mega-franchise including [[Pokémon games|video games]], an [[Pokémon anime|anime]], a [[Pokémon Trading Card Game|Trading Card Game]], a [[Pokémon Special|manga]], a [[Pokémon Trading Figure Game|miniatures game]], and much more merchandise. The concept of Pokémon was first created by [[Satoshi Tajiri]] and all Pokémon games are published by Nintendo Inc., Ltd for their video game systems, including the Game Boy, Nintendo 64, Game Boy Advance, Nintendo GameCube, Nintendo DS, and Nintendo Wii. The games include strategy games and RPGs where the player becomes a "[[Pokémon Trainer]]" who encounters, captures, trains, and collects many Pokémon creatures; puzzle games; and pinball games. They were first released in 1996 in Japan, and were first released in the USA in 1998. Since then, as of May 2005 the Pokémon Franchise has sold more than 140 million units worldwide, second only to [[wp:Mario|Mario]] with more than 182 million units sold worldwide and leaving even [[wp:Legend of Zelda|The Legend of Zelda]] and [[wp:Donkey Kong|Donkey Kong]] franchises in the dust with more than 43 million units worldwide each.

==Collectively==
Pokémon inhabit virtually every corner of the [[Pokémon world|world]]: in forests, in deserts, in the sea, in the sky. All Pokémon are hatched from [[Pokémon egg|egg]]s and most can [[Pokémon breeding|reproduce]]. In the wild, Pokémon sometimes fight one another. This can be for play, for food, or for defense. Pokémon can also die.

==Individually==
An individual Pokémon may be [[Wild Pokémon|encountered in the wild]], caught, [[Pokémon training|trained]], and [[Pokémon battle|battled with]]. In the games, individual Pokémon have many characteristics including [[stats]], [[DVs]], species, [[Level]], [[Effort Values|EVs]], [[Nature]], [[personality value]], [[Experience]], and known [[moves]].

==Species==
'''Pokémon species''' are "kinds" of Pokémon, such as {{p|Bulbasaur}} or {{p|Zubat}}. Individual Pokémon of certain species can change into some other species by [[evolution|evolving]], such as a Bulbasaur evolving into an {{p|Ivysaur}}. There are currently 492 officially released Pokémon species, while one other species, {{p|Arceus}}, is programmed into [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions]] and is widely known by the Pokémon fan community, but has not yet been officially revealed.

Species have certain characteristics inherent to each one. Examples include [[elemental types]], how many [[Effort values|EVs]] are awarded when a Pokémon of the species is defeated, [[base stats]], sprites and [[Alternate coloration|alternately-colored]] sprites, [[moves]] it learns by [[level|leveling up]], use of [[Technical Machine|TMs]] and [[Hidden Machine|HMs]] and by [[Move Tutor]]s, [[experience|base experience]], experience required to level up, and evolution.

In the anime, most Pokémon [[cry|speak through syllables of their name]]. For example, Pikachu can only say the syllables Pi, Ka, and Chu. Some Pokémon, like Salamence and Flygon, make other noises, like roaring or growling. There have been instances of Pokémon being able to speak, most notably [[Meowth (Team Rocket)|Meowth]], but most of them can only speak telepathically, like [[Mewtwo (anime)|Mewtwo]] and [[Lucario (anime)|Lucario]]. Pokémon in the games generally make animalistic noises.

Oftentimes, the name of a species can refer to an individual Pokémon of that species instead. For instance, "Bulbasaur is a {{type2|Grass}}" refers to the Bulbasaur species, but "Bulbasaur uses {{m|Vine Whip}}" refers to a single Bulbasaur.

Initially, when the [[Generation I]] games ([[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Pokémon Red, Blue]], and [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Green]]) were released, there were 151 species of Pokémon ({{p|Bulbasaur}} to {{p|Mew}}). This number grew to 251 with the release of [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions|Pokémon Gold and Silver]] of [[Generation II]] a few years later, adding an additional 100 species ({{p|Chikorita}} to {{p|Celebi}}). [[Generation III]] brought another 135 species ({{p|Treecko}} to {{p|Deoxys}}) to the Pokémon world with the release of [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire]], bringing the total to 386. The most recent additions, [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|Pokémon Diamond and Pearl]], the beginning of [[Generation IV]] introduced 107 new species ({{p|Turtwig}} to {{p|Arceus}}), bringing the overall total to 493.

According to the [[Electric Tale of Pikachu]], biological taxonomies of cellular and genetic structure have revealed that Pokémon are all actually a single species of life form and that the individual differences between each creature are actually subspecies. The DNA of all Pokémon can be traced back to {{p|Mew}}. (This can also explain why Pokémon can variously interbreed with each other.)

Several games, especially the Red and Blue versions, have featured various hidden in-game [[Glitch Pokémon]], most notably [[Missingno.]] and [['M]]. There have also been glitches found that are unrelated to individual Pokémon, such as [[Glitch City]].

[[Image:Pokémon_logo_English.png|200px|thumb|right|The logo of the Pokémon franchises]]'''Pokémon''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスター''' ''Pocket Monsters'', or '''ポケモン''' ''Pokémon'' for short) is a series of video games, now an entire franchise based around those games, that centers around the ability to "catch" and "train" creatures called ''Pokémon'', for which it is named. The term ''Pokémon'' may refer to the video game franchise, an individual Pokémon creature, or a Pokémon species.

==Name and pronunciation==
Pokémon is called "Pocket Monsters" in Japan. This would have been the name when transferred to North America, but "Pocket Monsters" would've caused trademarking problems with {{wp|Monster in My Pocket}}, so Nintendo settled on using the shortened version of the name which is also used in Japan, with the "Poké" coming from pocket and the "Mon" being derived from Monsters.

Due to the accent on the name, Pokémon has a specific pronunciation — ''Poke-Ay-Mon''. The emphasis on the '''e''' is from the accent. Other common mispronunciations include ''Poke-ee-man'', ''Poke-ee-mon'', ''Poke-ay-man'' and ''Pock-uh-mon''.

==Franchise==
Also called '''Pocket Monsters''' in Japan and some other countries, Pokémon is a mega-franchise including [[Pokémon games|video games]], an [[Pokémon anime|anime]], a [[Pokémon Trading Card Game|Trading Card Game]], a [[Pokémon Special|manga]], a [[Pokémon Trading Figure Game|miniatures game]], and much more merchandise.

[[Image:Ericstuart.jpg|thumb|Eric Stuart recording for Slayers]]
'''Eric Stuart''' is a voice actor for the English-language dub of the [[Pokémon anime]]. His most famous voices are those of [[Brock]] and [[James]].

==Biography==
Eric Stuart, the son of a criminal attorney and a modern dancer, grew up in {{wp|Brooklyn}}. He was born October 18, 1967. He formed his first band at age 14, inspired by his music teacher. He learned to play the guitar in eighth grade, and was writing and recording songs by the tenth grade. Before graduating high school, he had recorded over 40 original songs.

After high school, Stuart worked as a production assistant and played shows in the New York City area. As his career continued, he and his band went on to open for such famous acts such as {{wp|Chicago (band)|Chicago}}, {{wp|Ringo Starr|Ringo Starr and His All Starr Band}}, {{wp|Lynyrd Skynyrd}}, {{wp|Jethro Tull}}, and {{wp|Peter Frampton}}.

==Pokémon==
Eric Stuart's most famous roles on Pokémon are that of [[Brock]] and [[James]]. He is often criticized by fans for allegedly saying that he plays James as flamboyantly as possible so to make the character seem {{wp|homosexual}}. While many fans see this as evidence of a grudge against James, Stuart admits that along with Gourry Gabriev from {{wp|Slayers}}, James is his favorite character that he has played. However, he also says that he is most like Brock.

In addition to providing voices for the series, Stuart has worked as a voice director on the English dubs of both Pokémon and [[wp:Yu-Gi-Oh!|Yu-Gi-Oh!]].

When [[4Kids Entertainment|4Kids]] gave up their dubbing license in 2005, Eric Stuart left the series along with most of the other voice actors who worked with that company.

==Lyrics==
<ab>''Like a mountain I must conquer
Like a battle I must endure
I will fight for your honor
Steadfast and sure
Still got a vision that's fit for a king
And I've got a feeling I can do anything
And we will meet again
We will meet again
Yeah yeah
We will meet again

I will search the whole world over
If that's what I must do
I'll follow every winding road
Just to be with you
Cause I've got a dream that I just can't ignore
Before I get through I will open very door
And we will meet again
We will meet again

And nothing can stop this journey
Across an unknown land
and like a fire that keeps on burning
We will make our stand

We are bound together by fate
Set apart by what we've found
Yet we'll make this sacrifice
Cause we know were we are bound

Side by side we will ride once again
And if we keep the flame alive, my friend
We will meet again
We will meet again
We will meet again

I will search the whole world over
If that's what I must do
I'll follow every winding road
Just to be with you
Cause I've got a dream that I just can't ignore
Before I get through I will open very door
And we will meet again
We will meet again

And nothing can stop this journey
Across an unknown land
and like a fire that keeps on burning
We will make our stand
And we will meet again
Yeah, Yeah
We will meet again
Woah, Woah''

Phenac City

Brian577:

A village built around a desert oasis, '''Phenac City'''　(Japanese: '''フェナスシティ''' ''Phenace City'') is one of the major areas of [[Orre]]. Primarily build of stone, a wall keeps out the harsh desert winds.

In the center of town there's a large, ornamental fountain that serves as decoration and a rich display of Phenac's water supply.

The inhabitants of Phenac are generally good-natured folk who are enthusiastic about [[Pokémon]] training. Many trainers prepare their Pokémon so that they can challenge [[Justy]] or compete in the [[Colosseum]].

The townspeople of Phenac City are very suspicious of the citizens of [[Pyrite Town]]. Gossip about the criminals of Pyrite Town is always a popular topic, and people who announce that they come from Pyrite are met with suspicion.

There's a [[Pokémon Center]] farther north in the town, with a two-story [[Poké Mart]] nearby.

In the north-central area of town is the [[Pre Gym]], which is notable for being Orre's only known Pokémon Gym. The first floor contains a instructing area as well as a Pokémon Battle Arena. The basement contains a series simulated habitats (grassland, pond, rocks, and desert) ideal for training Pokémon to adapt to various areas.

The mayor's house is located to the west of the Pre Gym.

In the very northern area of Phenac is a giant Colosseum notable for a series of gigantic waterfalls. The Colosseum was closed after Realgam Tower opened.

In a forbidding desert, Phenac City is a jewel of a town that overflows with water.
