== Gliscor trivia ==

Two different evolutions, but the same Pokémon! That's what I'm trying to say here! Ash's Infernape is not a different entity from the Monferno that lost against Paul's Electabuzz. Each of Ash's Pokémon that evolved under his ownership in Sinnoh had learned a new move immediately following evolution (except for Gliscor). Not after EACH evolution, just after evolution. It could also be argued that Grotle and Staravia didn't learn new moves after evolution, but they did upon becoming Torterra and Staraptor. Evolution does not make a Pokémon into a completely different being. Ash's Butterfree is still the same Caterpie that was his first capture. Charizard is still the same Charmander Ash saved from an abusive trainer. Bayleef is still the same Chikorita that is in love with Ash, Ambipom is still the same contest-loving Aipom, and Infernape is still the same Monferno that learned Mach Punch immediately after it evolved from Chimchar. Based on this, I will put the trivia back on the page, and I urge you to not remove it again. Last thing either of us want is an edit war. - ''unsigned comment from [[User:Missingno.

I think that trivia has also been added a few months ago and the same kind of dispute started over it and at last that trivia was removed by a user (don't know exactly who it was). Monferno and Infernape are sure the same Pokémon (one evolved into another) but their evolutions were separate. {{tt|I think you can understand what I am trying to say.|Sorry about the bad english.}} Thank you. ♫♪[[User:Adyniz|'''Ady''']][[User talk:Adyniz|'''Niz''']]♪♫ 12:11, 1 May 2010 (UTC)

== Online Episode Guides ==

Please don't go inserting information found on online episode guides, even if it's in hide code. Such action is in violation of our "until it airs" policy, and inserting such gun-jumping information beforehand not only implies that the online preview is accurate when it may not be (such as what happend with [[Roland|"Ian"]], but also makes it easier for other gun-jumpers to make the same assumption and unhide the potentially inaccurate information. Bulbapedia prides itself on accuracy, and if we were to copy mistakes on online episode guides before the episodes air, our reputation as an accurate source of information will go down the tubes. --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 01:48, 24 August 2010 (UTC)
:'''Violation of our "until it airs" policy'''? Huh... Then we should definately not include anything in the articles of those episode which are not aired on TV Tokyo yet like hiding Ash's, Brock's and Dawn's all Pokémon because that will be counted as ''jumping the gun'' as well. What about that? Pokémon.com is an official site (though it makes mistakes/errors like Roland thingy happened last week) that's why I kept ''that'' info hidden. I didn't added anything speculative (assumed by myself). We do add moves to the Pokemon articles like in the Ash's Heracross article, hyper beam is mentioned, we had Blast Burn mentioned in Infernape's article a few weeks ago and a lot more examples are there (we keep it hidden but still we add it). So, will it hurt anyone if we use Pokemon.com episode guide info (off course keeping it hidden)? ♫♪[[User:Adyniz|'''Ady''']][[User talk:Adyniz|'''Niz''']]♪♫ 02:13, 24 August 2010 (UTC)

::It's better to not copy potential mistakes at all than let potential mistakes be available in hide code for gun-jumpers who'd want to fully reflect what they saw online. What if that had happened with "Ian"? Bulbapedia's reputation would have taken a far bigger hit than it did by having it available in the hide code. There's a reason why we always wait for the episode to actually air to reflect dub names--if we were to reflect an online preview and it turned out to be wrong, many people would no longer trust Bulbapedia for their anime needs even when the mistake gets rectified. Giving a gun-jumper an easier time in gun-jumping may actually be worse than actually doing the gun-jumping action--in that instance, there'd be ''two'' people to blame for Bulbapedia's reputation going down the toilet and not just one.

::In all fairness, the articles for the town and the CotD, as well as any potentially-wrong names leaked by online previews, should be fully protected until airtime (11:00 UTC during daylight savings time)--that was the standard procedure until my sysop powers were suspended at the start of May, and there's actually no reason why this didn't keep going when it should have been. (I hope to earn full reinstatement sometime before the Japanese release of Black and White.) Move protection alone wouldn't be enough, gun-jumpers have been known to try to get around it by doing manual cut-and-pastes to reflect leaked info. Autoconfirmed protection alone also wouldn't be enough, as there are gun-jumpers with enough edits to their name that could get across the line (****, back when the Wallace Cup was starting in Japan, there was even a gun-jumping incident where the gun-jumper had sysop powers!).

::As for Japanese airings, "until it airs" was actually originally designed primarily for those, it was later adapted to include dub names when some inaccuracies between online sources and the actual episodes became more well-known. In fact, "until it airs" whenever it comes to stuff that happens in episodes that have yet to air in Japan is still pretty well enforced--information typically doesn't get added until it's supposed to (episode titles and the bare basics about the episode when the magazines reveal them, some end-of-episode preview stuff that can't possibly be contradicted when those previews airs, the rest of the episode's event when the episode airs in Japan), and if someone tries to gun-jump something that shouldn't, well, they quickly get reverted. Gun-jumping problems concerning Japanese matters is actually worse on other language ends that don't have more-enforced "until it airs" policies.

::In closing: Anything that could be seen as potentially aiding gun-jumpers, such as hiding stuff from an online preview in any place a gun-jumper could access, runs afoul of the "until it airs" policy. Simply put, if there's any room for doubt, leave it out. --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 02:45, 24 August 2010 (UTC)

:::You know SP252, I think you're the one "jumping the gun" here. Making a big deal out of something as minor as this. It's not like he just pulled all this out of his butt, it came from a reputable site, that is known to be sometimes wrong, which is why it was hidden in the first place. I don't see anything wrong with this if it's hidden. People aren't going to stop coming to Bulbapedia because of this little minor incident such as this. You mentioning your intension of getting your sysop powers back is all irrelavent to the topic at hand and just makes you seem desperate.

You're working on Ash's Pokemon, right. Well the Best Wishes preview on that special show, "confirmed" that Ash is catching Pokabu.

Evolution stone

2011-03-04T04:25:10Z

Burgundy: /* List of stones */

:''For the Oval stone, see [[Evolution-inducing held item#Oval Stone|evolution-inducing held item]]. For the held item, see [[In-battle effect item#Miracle of Evolution|in-battle effect item]].''
[[Image:Branched_evolution.png|250px|thumb|Gloom's [[List of Pokémon with branched evolutions|branched]] [[evolution family]] as demonstrated in the anime: both of Gloom's potential evolutions require an evolutionary stone.]]
An '''evolutionary stone''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|進化の石|しんかのいし}}''' ''Evolution stone'') is a stone-like [[item]] that radiates a mysterious energy that causes some [[Pokémon (species)|species of Pokémon]] to [[evolution|evolve]].

Another stone, the Everstone, is different in that radiates a type of energy that prevents evolution in the holders; however, if a Pokémon holding the Everstone has an evolutionary stone used on it, it will still evolve.

Evolutionary stones may be used at any time, and cause instant evolution in the Pokémon they are used on, which cannot be canceled. With the exception of the Everstone, which must be held for its effects to take place, all evolutionary stones are applied directly to the Pokémon. All stones that cause evolution in a Pokémon are consumed upon that Pokémon's evolution.

The use of a stone is seen by many to be "forced" evolution, especially by the main characters of the anime, as the Pokémon is not in charge of its own transformation. Many Pokémon that result from a stone-based evolution also have vastly different [[level]]-up [[move|learnset]]s than their pre-evolutionary forms, with several learning no moves after evolution at all.

==In the anime==
[[File:Large Moon Stone.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Ash, Misty, Brock, and Seymour watch as Clefairy dance about a giant Moon Stone.]]
Evolutionary stones are showcased somewhat rarely in the anime, as only a relative few Pokémon are able to evolve by using them. Despite this, they were among the earliest of items to have been showcased in the anime, appearing as early as ''[[EP006|Clefairy and the Moon Stone]]'', where a rather large Moon Stone appeared deep within [[Mt. Moon]]. It was being worshipped by a group of {{p|Clefairy}} who lived there, and was soon stolen by Team Rocket and ended up being blown up. The shards from it, however, rained down on the Clefairy and caused some of them to evolve.

The second appearance of an evolutionary stone occurred in ''[[EP014|The Electric Shock Showdown]]'', where the Thunderstone was introduced. This was likewise the first opportunity that a Pokémon belonging to a member of the main cast was given to evolve by stone. [[Ash's Pikachu]], however, refused the offer, intending to beat [[Lt. Surge]]'s {{TP|Lt. Surge|Raichu}} as a Pikachu.

The remaining Generation I evolutionary stones made their debut in ''[[EP040|The Battling Eevee Brothers]]'', as part of a collection held by the [[Eevee brothers]]. Additionally, two of the Eevee brothers offered a Fire Stone and Thunderstone to [[Brock]] and {{Ash}}, respectively, to evolve their {{TP|Brock|Vulpix}} and Pikachu, though both refused.

A forest that appeared in ''[[EP043|The March of the Exeggutor Squad]]'' was a reported hotbed of Leaf Stones, and the radiation from these stones in the forest was so strong as to induce evolution in [[Melvin]]'s {{p|Exeggcute}}, which proceeded to cause chaos by hypnotizing a horde of other Exeggutor.

A fake Leaf Stone, made by Team Rocket, appeared in ''[[EP068|Make Room for Gloom]]'', where the discovery of its nature as a fake was central to the episode. A real Leaf Stone finally appeared at the very end of ''[[PK04|Pikachu's Rescue Adventure]]''. With it, the {{p|Exeggcute}} that had been following [[Misty's Togepi]] around evolved into {{p|Exeggutor}}.

Ash won a Sun Stone in the [[Bug-Catching Contest]] during ''[[EP161|The Bug Stops Here]]'', later using it to evolve a {{p|Sunkern}} in ''[[EP187|Moving Pictures]]''.

Fire Stones played an important role in ''[[EP190|The Stolen Stones]]'', where they were intended to be delivered to a stadium to be used as a prize for competitors there.

Both the Leaf Stone and Sun Stone appear in ''[[EP239|Whichever Way the Wind Blows]]'' as a demonstration of the [[list of Pokémon with branched evolutions|branch]] in {{p|Gloom}}'s [[List of Pokémon by evolution family|evolutionary line]].

The Water Stone appears in ''[[AG105|Once in a Mawile]]'' and is used by [[Brock's Lombre]] to evolve into Ludicolo. This is the first time that a main character's Pokémon evolves via an evolutionary stone on-screen, although it is likely that [[James's Weepinbell]] was evolved by way of a Leaf Stone prior to ''[[EP057|The Breeding Center Secret]]''.

A Moon Stone appeared in a flashback in ''[[AG060|Delcatty Got Your Tongue?]]'' evolving [[Dr. Abby]]'s Skitty into a Delcatty.

In ''[[DP122|Stopped in the Name of Love]]'', {{an|Dawn}} gave an Everstone to her {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} to prevent it from evolving.

[[Professor Oak]] gave a Water Stone to a wild Lombre in ''[[DP139|A Faux Oak Finish!]]'', while a Dusk Stone was central to the plot of ''[[DP148|Try for the Family Stone!]]''.

[[Ursula]] used a Fire Stone and a Water Stone to evolve her two Eevee in ''[[DP174|Last Call, First Round!]]'', making them a Flareon and Vaporeon, for use in the Grand Festival.

Strangely, evolutionary stones do not seem to be ''required'' for evolution in the anime as they are in the games. [[List of Pokémon temporarily owned by Team Rocket#Victreebel|James's second Weepinbell]] evolved without a Leaf Stone in ''[[EP261|Here's Lookin' At You, Elekid]]'', though this may just be an example of [[anime physics]].

==In the manga==
===In the [[Electric Tale of Pikachu]] manga===
In ''[[ET03|Clefairy Tale]]'', {{Ash}}, [[Professor Oak]] and [[Bill]] witness a {{p|Clefairy}} evolution ceremony involving a large Moon Stone.

The focus of the chapter ''[[ET06|To Evolve or Not to Evolve, That Is the Question!]]'' is evolutionary stones. {{an|Misty}} hopes to buy a Water Stone for her {{TP|Misty|Poliwhirl|Politoed}} in [[Stone Town]], a town on Dream Island where all the evolutionary stones in the Pokémon world come from. However, she cannot afford one, remarking that an inexpensive one might make the evolution go bad.

She is later given a Water Stone by [[Mikey]], who is being pressured to join the Knights of the "E" Stone, a club which requires members to own a Pokémon evolved by an evolutionary stone. By battling club members, {{Ash}} and Mikey prove to the leaders that Pokémon which have evolved by evolutionary stone are not necessarily superior to their unevolved counterparts.

===In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga===
In the {{chap|Red, Green & Blue}}, a Moon Stone is first mentioned by [[Professor Oak]] in ''[[PS006|Gyarados Splashes In!]]'' as a rock with a crescent moon-shaped indentation that boosts a Pokémon's power immensely. In the next round, ''[[PS007|Raging Rhydon]]'', [[Team Rocket]] searches for one in [[Mt. Moon]], however it is {{adv|Red}} who finds it. Later on, Red uses this Moon Stone to evolve {{adv|Green}}'s {{p|Clefairy}} during the [[Silph Co.]] catastrophe. Additionally, [[Poli|Red's Poliwhirl]] was able to evolve into a {{p|Poliwrath}} with the help of a Water Stone when they were thrown in the water.

In the {{chap|Yellow}} chapter, {{adv|Yellow}} finds a Leaf Stone in Vermilion Harbor, but the Fire, Thunder, and Water Stones are missing. Later, it is revealed [[Giovanni]] gave them to Red so he could evolve and devolve his Eevee freely.

Much later, {{Adv|Gold}}'s [[Gold (Adventures)#Sunbo|Sunkern]] evolves into a {{p|Sunflora}} because the sun's energy reflected off of the rocks near [[Ilex Forest]] replicated the Sun Stone's effects.

Even later on, {{Adv|Ruby}}'s [[Coco (Adventures)|Skitty]] evolves into a {{p|Delcatty}} due to being exposed to one of [[Steven Stone|Steven]]'s Moon Stones.

==Trivia==
* Of all {{cat|Pokémon that evolve by evolutionary stone}}, only {{p|Eevee}} and {{p|Gloom}} can use multiple ones; together they can use any of the stones introduced before [[Generation IV]] except for the Moon Stone.
* Only four Pokémon that evolve by stone can evolve using another method: {{p|Poliwhirl}}, {{p|Eevee}}, {{p|Kirlia}}, and {{p|Snorunt}}.
* Only {{type|Grass}} Pokémon evolve using the Leaf Stone and Sun Stone, and all of the Pokémon that evolve using the Sun Stone evolve into pure Grass-types.
* The Oval Stone is sometimes considered an evolutionary stone, and can even be selected to be used like one. However, unlike other evolutionary stones, the Oval Stone does not evolve any Pokémon when it is used on them. It must instead be held and the Pokémon leveled up, making it an [[evolution-inducing held item]].
* All Pokémon that evolve with the Fire Stone are in the {{egg3|Ground}}, and all the Pokémon that evolve with the Sun Stone are in the {{egg3|Plant}}.
* Through [[List of minor glitches#Evolutionary stone glitch|a glitch]] in the Generation I games, Pokémon can be evolved without the use of a stone, provided that the player has sent out the correct Pokémon in the same battle that a Pokémon that evolves using a stone levels up.
* The Dawn Stone induces evolution in only two Pokémon species, {{p|Kirlia}} and {{p|Snorunt}}, the least of any stone.
** This also makes it currently the only stone that only evolves Pokémon introduced in a single generation, as Kirlia and Snorunt were both introduced in [[Generation III]].
** Both of them only evolve via Dawn Stone if they are a certain gender and can evolve into a different Pokémon using a different method.
** It is also the only stone not to gain a new use in [[Generation V]].
* As of [[Generation V]], the Fire Stone is the only one not used in a three-stage evolutionary line.
* The {{wp|Sunstone|Sun Stone}} and {{wp|Moonstone (gemstone)|Moon Stone}} share their names with actual {{wp|gemstones}}.
* [[Generation III]] and [[Generation V]] are the only generations where an evolutionary stone is not introduced.
** Both these generations introduced a new Pokémon to evolve with Leaf Stone, Water Stone and Moon Stone.

'''Ash Ketchum''' (Japanese: '''サトシ''' ''Satoshi'') is the main character of both the [[Pokémon anime]] and the ''[[Electric Tale of Pikachu]]'' manga, and is believed to be based on the {{ga|Red|protagonist}} of the [[Generation I| first generation]] Pokémon games.

He shares his Japanese name—which can be taken to mean "wisdom" or "reason" (智)—with the creator of the [[Pokémon]] franchise, [[Satoshi Tajiri]]. His English surname is a pun of the original English motto, "[[Gotta catch 'em all!|Gotta Catch 'em All!]]."

===Character===
[[File:Anime Ash.png|200px|thumb|Ash Ketchum in the [[original series]]]]
Ash's main goal in life, as described in [[EP001|the first episode]], is to be the world's greatest [[Pokémon master|Pokémon Master]]. Ash began his journey at the age of 10 as a warm-hearted and well-intentioned but stubborn, rash and amateurish [[Pokémon Trainer]]. He was forced to accept the cheeky {{AP|Pikachu}} from {{an|Professor Oak}} as his [[starter Pokémon]] because he carelessly broke his alarm clock in his sleep and woke up late on the day he was set to get his first Pokémon. He was determined to achieve his goal, however, and when Pikachu saw that he was willing to compromise his own safety to keep it safe he formed a strong bond of friendship with Pikachu. This would set his course for the future.
[[File:Ash fleeing spearow.png|thumb|left|200px|Ash trying to keep Pikachu safe]]
However, from that point, Ash still had a lot to learn about becoming a Trainer. The [[Ash's Butterfree|first Pokémon]] he {{pkmn2|caught}}, was caught by luck, as he knew absolutely nothing about [[Pokémon battle|battling]], and was hesitant to admit it whenever he was wrong. Many of his first [[Gym]] [[badge]]s were given to him merely out of gratitude for his assistance rather than claiming an actual victory in battle over the [[Gym Leader]]s; of his first five gym battles, only his victory over [[Lt. Surge]] was an actual victory. Every time he thought he was doing well, he would somehow cross paths with his childhood [[rival]], [[Gary Oak]]. He always reminded Ash that he was always a step or seven behind, with Gary catching around forty-five Pokémon by the time Ash had only caught his {{AP|seventh|Kingler}}. This hampered matters further when, owing to his inexperience, his {{AP|Charizard}}, his most powerful Pokémon, refused to listen to him until [[EP105|Ash could prove himself]] to the powerful Fire-type.

Over time, Ash's dedication to his goal paid off. After earning his first eight badges he went on to compete in the [[Indigo League]], advancing to the fifth round - one further than Gary, and ending up in the top 16. After recovering from his defeat, he continued on to improve his skills; take on new challenges; and compete in more [[Pokémon League]] competitions - triumphing in the [[Orange League]] and the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}.

[[File:Ash AG.png|200px|thumb|left|Ash in the {{series|Advanced Generation}}]]
Ash has changed a great deal over the course of the series, particularly in regards to his skill at [[Pokémon training]], but his earnestness, rashness, and determination have remained. Never straying from his goal, he has remained loyal to {{ashfr|his friends}}, his family, and his supporters, but most of all his Pokémon. Ash became a great Trainer by learning to find and use the inner strength of each of his Pokémon by bonding with them. For example, when he received a banner filled with prints from his Pokémon in ''[[AG187|The Unbeatable Lightness of Seeing!]]'', he knew which Pokémon placed specific prints, showing his close bond with them. He also learns where their hidden abilities lie, as well as resorting to unorthodox strategies when fighting particularly challenging opponents. For example, he uses his Pikachu's speed to outmaneuver larger foes and attack. In another instance, his {{AP|Charizard}} defeated [[Gary's Blastoise]] by causing the field to overheat before mounting a close-quarters attack while Blastoise was blinded by the steam. He also prefers to train a Pokémon to be the best it can without forcing it to [[Evolution|evolve]], as evidenced by his treatment of {{AP|Gligar|Gliscor}} in ''[[DP085|Fighting Fear With Fear!]]''. He is happy when his Pokémon evolve but lets them choose whether or not they want to evolve instead of forcing them.
[[File:AshAura.png|thumb|right|250px|Ash using Aura inside the [[Tree of Beginning]]]]
Early on, Ash originally trained not to further himself but instead to catch more Pokémon than Gary. He later slowed his pace which allowed him to focus on the individual traits of each Pokémon. At the [[Johto]] League [[Silver Conference]], with great humility and maturity, Ash finally won a battle against his old rival, signifying a great milestone in his history. His maturity has also increased in his dealings with Pokémon. This is shown when [[Ash's Primeape|a Mankey]] stole his {{AP|hat}} in ''[[EP025|Primeape Goes Bananas]]'', he screamed and yelled at it, even climbing trees just to get his hat back, but when [[Dawn's Ambipom|an Aipom]] did the same in ''[[AG179|Slaking Kong]]'', he stated merely that he would feel strange without a hat. When Aipom stole his hat again in ''[[DP009|Setting the World on its Buneary]]'', however, while it was under his ownership, he chased after it in the same manner as before.

In most episodes of the anime, especially those during the Johto League saga, Ash befriends someone who will influence him and cause him to strive to become a better Trainer. Although he is not a dependent individual, he is still young and has learned to make his way relying on his {{AP|friends}}, particularly the maternal skills of Brock. The honor of "best friend" is usually reserved for Pikachu but Ash has come to see his closest human friends in the same light over time; using the term for {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}} in ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later]]'' as well as {{an|May}} and [[Max]] in ''[[AG178|Battling the Enemy Within]]''.

He has traversed much of the [[Pokémon world]] and has thus far participated in four [[Pokémon League#Championship competitions|Pokémon League regional competitions]], but he is still learning new things about Pokémon all the time.
[[File:SatoshiDP.png|thumb|right|200px|Ash in the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}]]
Ash has gained a close connection with many [[legendary Pokémon]], including {{an|Mewtwo}}, {{an|Ho-Oh}}, {{OBP|Lugia|movie 2}}, {{OBP|Latias|movie 5}}, [[Lake guardians (anime)#Azelf|Azelf]], {{OBP|Shaymin|movie 11}}, {{an|Giratina}} and {{an|Arceus}}. In the English dub of the [[M02|second movie]], he was revealed to be "The Chosen One" - the one who would bring balance back to the world when it was disrupted. Although viewed as a normal human, Ash does have some special abilities, as he is said to have the same [[aura]] as [[Sir Aaron]], a legendary hero, and is theoretically able to manipulate it in much the same way. However, he has not received any training in this field, opting to continue his Pokémon journey instead. He has also been likened to an ancient [[aura]] guardian in ''[[DP056|The Keystone Pops!]]'', who also had a partner {{p|Pikachu}}. Later, in ''[[DP071|Pokémon Ranger and the Kidnapped Riolu! Parts 1]]'' and ''[[DP072|2]]'', Ash uses aura again to locate a lost {{p|Riolu}} and read Riolu's mind as well.
[[File:AshWallace.png|thumb|left|200px|Ash in the [[Wallace Cup]]]]
Ash has also participated in contests. He has a [[Contest Pass]] for the [[Sinnoh]] region, though he has stated that the contest he got it for was the only one he intends on entering. He also has one for the Hoenn region as it was required to watch one of the contests held there. Ash carries half of a broken [[Poké Ball]] with him everywhere, while Gary has the other half, as a symbol of their ongoing, but now friendly, rivalry; [[Misty's special lure]], which she sent to him as a gift; and half of a ribbon he received in a contest against May before she left the group to compete in Johto. Ash also participated in the [[Wallace Cup]] on the suggestion of [[Wallace]] but he lost in the third round.

Ash soon obtained all of the Sinnoh gym badges. During his battles in the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]], he managed to advance to the Top 4, during which time he defeated his long-time Sinnoh rival [[Paul]], and fought against [[Tobias]], becoming the only Trainer to defeat his {{p|Darkrai}}. Though he lost later on in the battle, he seems to be okay with losing, as he has become closer to his Pokémon than ever before.

Ash is now currently in his venture to [[Unova]], bringing along only his Pikachu as he did in Hoenn and planned to in [[Sinnoh]].

===Family===
[[File:Younger Ash DP138.png|thumb|left|250px|A young Ash]]
Ash lived with his mother, [[Delia Ketchum]], until he left for his Pokémon journey at the age of ten.

His father was never introduced. The anime suggests that his father was once a Pokémon Trainer who began his journey in Pallet Town, and that he is still living. An interview with the series' storyboarder confirmed Ash's father is a Trainer on his own journey. According to the same storyboarder, Ash's father may or may not be introduced in the series, depending on its necessity to Ash's further maturity and development as a Trainer.

Ash is an only child, breaking from the tradition of several other main characters, with the exception of {{an|Dawn}} and possibly {{Tracey}} and {{an|Iris}}, whose siblings are often a foil or focal point in their lives.

===Pokémon===
[[File:Ash Unova Team.png|250px|thumb|Ash's Party prior to [[BW018]].]]
As a Trainer, Ash has captured and befriended a sizable number of Pokémon over the course of the anime. His philosophy on {{pkmn|training}} is that Pokémon are individuals and that a combination of trust, friendship and hard work are needed to overcome adversity. He seems to battle best with Pokémon that are similar to Pikachu: ones that are [[Appendix:Metagame terminology#Sweeper|speedy and maneuverable, yet able to perform high-powered attacks]]; however, he is willing to work with any Pokémon that comes into his care. Ash's battle style is generally spontaneous and fairly unorthodox, and his Pokémon often reflect these traits.

==In the manga==
===In the Ash and Pikachu manga===
Ash is a starring character in [[Ash and Pikachu]], a manga series based on the [[Johto]] saga of the Pokémon anime.

===In The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga===
[[File:Ash Ketchum Electric Tale.png|thumb|right|Ash in the [[Electric Tale of Pikachu]] manga]]
Ash Ketchum is a starring character in [[Electric Tale of Pikachu|The Electric Tale of Pikachu]], a manga series based on the anime. Ash's journey in The Electric Tale of Pikachu follows roughly the same plot as in the anime: first traveling the [[Kanto]] region to participate in the [[Pokémon League]], before embarking on a journey around the [[Orange Archipelago]].

While there are many similarities between the anime and manga versions of Ash, there are several differences as well. For example, while the anime version of Ash appears to be indifferent to love and romance, the manga version of Ash has a huge crush on Gary's sister, [[Daisy Oak|May Oak]]. He is also prone to quickly falling in love just like Brock, but to a much more subtle or less extreme degree.

Ash's appearance differs in the manga as well. He wears a red jacket, much like {{ga|Red}}'s, instead of the blue he wears in the anime. Also, for the duration of the [[Electric Tale of Pikachu volume 1|first volume]], he wears a different hat, which is solid red with a "PM" on the front. Beginning in ''[[ET05|The Human Race and the Pokémon Race]]'', his hat is changed to match the one he wears in the anime.

Ash owns many of the same Pokémon as in the anime, with a few exceptions: he captures a {{AP|Fearow}} and an {{p|Oddish}}. He also captures a {{p|Mankey}}, which he trades to a shady salesman for a map of [[Mt. Moon]], and a giant {{p|Slowpoke}}, which he trades to [[Gary Oak]].

==Trivia==
===Pokémon===
[[File:Ash catches a Pokemon.png|thumb|250px|Ash after catching a Pokémon]]
* Ash typically catches similar teams in each region he travels through.
** Ash's teams often feature the starter Pokémon of each region. In the [[Timeline of events in the anime#Kanto|Kanto]], [[Timeline of events in the anime#Johto|Johto]] and [[Timeline of events in the anime#Unova|Unova]] story arcs, Ash managed to capture all three of the starter Pokémon for all three regions.
** He has caught each [[generation]]'s {{type2|Grass}} [[starter Pokémon]]: {{AP|Bulbasaur}}, {{AP|Chikorita|Bayleef}}, {{AP|Treecko|Sceptile}}, {{AP|Turtwig|Torterra}} and {{AP|Snivy}}
** He also caught the three {{type2|Fire}} [[starter Pokémon]] whose English names begin with a 'C' and whose Japanese names begin with a ヒ ''hi'': {{AP|Charmander|Charizard}} (''Hitokage''), {{AP|Cyndaquil|Quilava}} (''Hinoarashi''), and {{AP|Chimchar|Infernape}} (''Hikozaru'').
** He always catches each region's local bird-like Pokémon: {{AP|Pidgeotto|Pidgeot}} in Kanto, {{AP|Noctowl}} in Johto, {{AP|Taillow|Swellow}} in Hoenn, {{AP|Starly|Staraptor}} in Sinnoh, and {{AP|Pidove}} in Unova. Thus far, Ash has evolved each species to its final form, except for {{AP|Pidove}}, which was only captured recently, and Noctowl, who was captured in its final form.
** Ash has two fully-evolved {{type2|Grass}} [[starter Pokémon]] ({{AP|Sceptile}} and {{AP|Torterra}}) and two fully-evolved {{type2|Fire}} starter Pokémon ({{AP|Charizard}} and {{AP|Infernape}}). None of his {{type2|Water}} starter Pokémon have evolved at all, or even indicated their desire to.
** He has caught, befriended, used, or otherwise had under his command at least one Pokémon of every type except for the {{t|Steel}} type.
** In addition, Ash always manages to catch at least one {{type2|Grass}}, {{type2|Fire}}, {{type2|Water}} and {{type2|Flying}} by the [[Pokémon League]] of each region. {{AP|Pikachu}} also always accompanies Ash, and as a result he always has an {{type2|Electric}} as well.
* Ash has caught at least two starter Pokémon in each region except [[Hoenn]] where he only caught {{AP|Treecko|Sceptile}}.
* Ash has encountered every legendary Pokémon from the first four generations at least once.
* Ash has only caught Pokémon when he does not have a full party of six, except for when he caught {{AP|Krabby|Kingler}} and {{AP|Sewaddle}}.
* Ash has [[trade]]d away three Pokémon: {{AP|Butterfree}}, {{AP|Raticate}}, and {{TP|Dawn|Aipom|Ambipom}}. Of these three, Butterfree was the only one Ash got back, and also the only one that is not {{type2|Normal}}.
* Ash has several Pokémon in common with {{series|Diamond & Pearl}} rivals; [[Paul]] and {{an|Barry}}. He and Paul both own a {{p|Torterra}} and have owned a {{p|Gliscor}} as well as both training the same {{AP|Chimchar|Infernape}} at some point. Like Ash, Barry owns a {{p|Staraptor}} and a {{p|Heracross}}. Other rivals of Ash's have had alike Pokémon; {{Gary}} has also owned a {{TP|Gary|Squirtle|Blastoise}} and a {{p|Krabby}}, [[Ritchie]] has a [[Sparky|Pikachu]], [[Zippo|Charmeleon]], {{p|Butterfree}} and {{p|Taillow}}, [[Morrison]] has a {{p|Gligar}}; and {{ho|Tyson}} has a {{p|Sceptile}} and {{p|Donphan}}. The latter two had them on their league teams before Ash would later obtain them himself. [[Trip]] had a [[Trip's Servine|Snivy]] and {{jo|Jimmy}} has owned {{TP|Jimmy|Cyndaquil|Typhlosion}} and {{p|Beedrill}}.
* Ash has never caught a Pokémon of the {{t|Rock}}, {{t|Steel}}, {{t|Psychic}}, or {{t|Ghost}} types. This excludes [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]] manga, where he has caught {{p|Slowpoke}}, a dual-typed {{t|Water}}/{{type2|Psychic}}.

===Challenge/Gym related===
* In each region (except for the Orange Islands), Ash always loses against at least one of the [[Gym Leader]]s before challenging them to a rematch.
* In the [[original series]], Ash pinned his badges to the inside of his jacket. From Hoenn onwards, they have been kept in a case.
* Ash has battled six legendary Pokémon. He has defeated four of these.
* Ash has so far battled five [[Elite Four]] members, namely [[Lorelei]], {{EF|Drake}}, [[Agatha]], {{EF|Flint}} and [[Bertha]]. He has lost to all five without defeating a single Pokémon of theirs.
* Ash has been beaten by every {{type|Normal}} [[Gym Leader]] before beating them in a rematch. However, his [[AG003|first battle]] against [[Norman]] was an unofficial battle.
* The largest number of episodes that Ash has gone without obtaining a [[badge]] was the gap between the {{ci|Snowpoint}} and {{ci|Sunyshore}} Gyms, starting in ''[[DP127|Sliding into Seventh!]]'' and ended in ''[[DP179|The Eighth Wonder of the Sinnoh World!]]'', where Ash finally won the Beacon Badge. The gap was a total of 52 episodes. The shortest amount of time between badges was the [[EP006|one-episode]] gap between ''[[EP005|Showdown in Pewter City]]'' and ''[[EP007|The Water Flowers of Cerulean City]]''.

===Miscellaneous===
[[File:Ash maid.png|100px|thumb|Ash cross-dressing for the third time]]
[[File:Ash new eye style.png|thumb|right|200px|Ash's new eye style in Best Wishes]]
* The date of Ash's birth, according to [[Takeshi Shudo]]'s anime novelizations, is 10 years, 10 months, and 10 days ''exactly'' prior to the day he began his Pokémon journey. Being that the same novelization declares that Pokémon Trainers obtain their first Pokémon in April of the year following their 10th birthday, and the anime itself began broadcast on the first of that month in 1997 in Japan, Ash's birthday, if April 1 was the first day of his journey, would be May 22.
* Lines similar to lightning bolts are found on Ash's cheeks, as well as in his hair. This may be a reference to Ash's starter Pokémon, {{AP|Pikachu}}, who also has electric cheeks.
* Ash has cross-dressed three times. The first time he did this was in ''[[EP026|Pokémon Scent-sation!]]'', in the [[original series]]. He cross-dressed a second time in ''[[AG042|Love at First Flight]]'', in the {{series|Advanced Generation}}. ''[[DP062|Tanks for the Memories!]]'' marked the third time he cross-dressed, in the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}. Each time Ash has cross-dressed, he was never willing to do so and was coerced or forced into it in some way.
** In addition to dressing as a girl, Ash has dressed up as fruit on at least two occasions. The first time, he dressed as an apple in ''[[EP107|Pokémon Food Fight!]]'' while the second he dressed as an {{wp|eggplant}} in ''[[AG104|Claydol Big and Tall]]''. On both occasions he was used to lure a large Pokémon.
** Ash has also dressed up as a Pokémon on several occasions. In ''[[EP064|It's Mr. Mime Time]]'', Ash dressed up as a {{p|Mr. Mime}} in order to get [[Stella]]'s Mr. Mime to perform in the circus out of jealousy. In ''[[EP215|Octillery The Outcast]]'', Ash dressed as an {{p|Octillery}} in order to help an Octillery be accepted by a school of {{p|Remoraid}}. In ''[[AG048|ZigZag Zangoose!]]'', Ash dressed up as a {{p|Seviper}} while [[Nicholai]] dressed up as a {{p|Zangoose}} to see what the feud between the two Pokémon is like.
* Several of the variety of {{wp|ash tree}}s, from which his name could be derived, are related to Kanto in some way: not only are there trees known as the "red ash", "green ash", and "blue ash", for the first three games, but also the "indigo ash", for the [[Indigo Plateau]].
* [[Arnold]] and [[Travis]] are both [[doppelgänger]]s of Ash. His first meeting with both of [[Arnold's mother|their]] [[Luana|mothers]] was being mistaken for them and embraced in a hug as the boys were away from home at the time.
[[File:Ash Dewgong Drawing.png|thumb|left|200px|Ash's drawing of a Dewgong]]
* When [[Veronica Taylor]] was interviewed in the documentary "Adventures in Voice Acting", she stated that during her audition for the role of Ash, he was known as Casey at the time. This name would later be given to a {{an|Casey|recurring character from Johto}}.
* In Ash's Unova design, his eye irises are larger to match most other people in the anime, like artwork of Red from Generation III. Excluding clothing, this is Ash's first physical change since his debut in ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]''.
* Ash has shown to possess some {{wp|drawing}} abilities which were shown in ''[[DP089|Up Close and Personable!]]'' where he drew a {{p|Dewgong}}.
* Ash is the only one in his [[Ash's friends|current traveling group]] not to have a bow-like article of [[List of clothing in the anime|clothing]]. Iris has a bow on her skirt and Cilan has a {{wp|bow tie}}.

==Synopsis==
Continuing their journey on the way to [[Nacrene City]], {{Ash}} and {{ashfr|his friends}} had stopped in the middle of the road to analyze the map. Suddenly, a gang of small children comes speeding towards them on tricycles, while a Pokémon sits cheerfully in an orange wagon led by a small boy riding in front. Two women chases after the tricycle gang, shouting to get the children to stop, or for anyone to stop them. The children seemed to ignore her, and with commands given by their 'leader' (the boy in front), they readied balls of mud and began to throw them at Ash and his friends. As they were unprepared for the 'attack', Ash and his friends all got hit squarely in the face, except for {{an|Iris}} who leaped up and landed onto the fence. While the children celebrated as they passed, [[Ash's hat]] was then swept off the ground by the passing arm of the Pokémon in the wagon. The two women eventually catches up and apologizes to the group for the children's misbehavior, and the group learns that the children belongs to the kindergarten of the younger of the two women.

Ash and his friends are taken to a [[Pokémon Day Care|Day Care Center for Pokémon]], where a [[Recurring wild Pokémon in the_anime#Sandile|Sandile with sunglasses]] is seen scouting the outside before returning underground. Iris is impressed by the amount of {{pkmn|egg}}s at the Day Care which Cilan exclaims that they are filled with the kindness of raising Pokémon. The older woman introduces herself as the Pokémon Day Care owner, [[Kikuyo]], and her granddaughter, [[Yuri]], introduces herself as the kindergarten teacher. After the group had exchanged formalities, Yuri explains the that the Pokémon they saw earlier was a {{p|Yabukuron}}, and that the children had found the Yabukuron in a scrap yard nearby and brought it to school without her permission. Ash looks up Yabukuron in his Pokédex. As Iris wonders about Yabukuron's love of garbage, Ash plainly states that his hat is not trash, while Cilan comments on the Garbage Bag Pokémon's weird 'taste'.

Yuri then explains that the children had brought back the Yabukuron as it was crying from loneliness and wanted to be their friend. As she told them that Yabukuron loves garbage and keeping it would only make the school dirty, the children pleaded to let it stay, claiming that they will clean up after the Yabukuron. While Yuri insisted on having Yabukuron returned to the scrapyard and the children argued against her, Yabukuron releases a cloud of rancid air which causes everyone to cringe. However, the children eventually uncovered their noses and mouths, announcing loudly that they could handle the stench. Despite so, Yuri's mind was already made up as she picked up the Yabukuron and returned it to the scrap yard. Over there, she explained to it why she could not keep it and returned to the school.

Ash and his friends were soon brought to a large pile of scrap surrounding a large tree in the playground, which the children and Yabukuron worked together to create what Cilan calls a 'secret base'. Ash is extremely impressed by the children's construction, to which Iris scoffs at, calling him a child. Yuri is worried about the base collapsing and putting the children in danger. The group agrees to help Yuri, but the children suddenly appears from the tree house on top of the tree, claiming the base to be under the ownership of the "Yabukuron Squad". Ash smiles at the children's determination when Yuri tries to reason with them. Finally, Ash offers to talk to the children himself, explaining that he understands the children since he used to play in squads like these as a child himself. Yuri agrees and Ash begins to climb the pile of scraps. However, the children were unhappy about the intrusion and began throwing mud balls at Ash. Eventually, with the help of an electric fan, the scraps below him collapses, and Ash, caught in a rubber tire, is taken 'hostage' into their tree house.

Ash is initially impressed by the quality of the tree house and asks if they built it themselves. A girl explains that Yabukuron helped them build it, when the boy with Ash's hat scolds her for being friendly towards their "enemy". He then introduces himself as [[Hirota]], the leader of the squad. Ash introduces himself as well as {{AP|Pikachu}}, and the children are thrilled to see a real Pikachu and ask if they can pet him. Pikachu hops off Ash's shoulder and all of them, except Hirota, surrounds Pikachu and begin stroking his forehead and tummy, tugging on his cheeks and poking its tail playfully. Ash tells Hirota that he is not their enemy and he had only came to talk to the children. Hirota acknowledges and asks if it is alright if he plays with Pikachu. Ash agrees, but when Hirota begins pulling Pikachu's tail, and Ash warns him about Pikachu's capability of generating electricity. This scares the children and they immediately back away. Ash explains that while Pikachu is very cute, he is also capable of producing a powerful {{m|Thunderbolt}}, which then demonstrates his power by literally shocking Ash. The kids are very impressed, and Yabukuron steps forward and pulls off a pose attempting to show off its cuteness. Ash, reluctantly, states that Yabukuron is cute too, but the kids agree wholeheartedly. Ash is pleased to see how much the children love Yabukuron, and Hirota eventually returns Ash's hat to him, calling him "big brother".

Meanwhile, [[Jessie]], [[James]] and {{MTR}}, are waiting patiently on a train station platform. Dressed in dark overcoats and topped with sunglasses and a dark hat, the trio remain silent and impassive, while the station is filled with echoes of a news broadcast: a large amount of scrap had mysteriously disappeared together with a Yabukuron that resided in a nearby scrap yard. A man in a long trench coat, dressed almost similar and holding a metal case, suddenly appears across the platform and sits on the bench behind them. Jessie looks up, then questions when the train will depart. The man, without turning or moving, replies "7PM". The [[Team Rocket]] trio and the man then break into conversation about the mission while making no attempt to face each other, maintaining the outlook of not being in conversation. The man then places the metal case on the ground and kicks it with his heel to beside James, who picks it up. Inside, he finds a stone, and the man explains that it actually is a dummy, and they will be contacted later with more details. The man gets up, tells the group that {{an|Giovanni}} is very impressed by their success so far, and then takes his leave.

Back at the tree house, Ash is telling the children that they should apologize to their teacher. The squad disagrees, saying Yabukuron had done nothing wrong and that Yuri was at fault for wanting to get rid of Yabukuron. Ash then talks about the stench it releases, and while one of the girls agree that it was horrible, one of the boys claimed that it was not, attracting Yabukuron's attention. The girl that agreed with Ash promptly changed her mind, and Yabukuron happily released a ball of gas into the tree house. While the group endured and insisted that the gas was not smelly, they eventually came out of the tree house, to Yabukuron's disappointment. Ash tells Hirota that he is a good friend to Yabukuron, when suddenly, there was a disturbance at the ground below. A Pokémon appeared to be {{m|Dig|digging}}, and when the dust clears, it revealed a [[Recurring_wild_Pokémon_in_the_anime#Sandile|Sandile with sunglasses]], the one that had once saved Ash's Pikachu and {{AP|Oshawott}} from the hot spring [[BW003|earlier in their journey]]. As the "Yabukuron Squad" prepares to attack, the Sandile, on recognizing Pikachu, immediately unleashes a {{m|Stone Edge}} attack. Ash quickly tells the children to run away as a flurry of stones hit the ground surrounding Ash. The squad, while trying to help Ash, starts throwing mud at the Sandile who angrily attacks them with yet another Stone Edge. Yabukuron tries to defends the children and launches a purple blob into the air, scattering {{m|Toxic Spikes}} across the ground. Sandile advances slowly, unknowingly crawling into the area with the Toxic Spikes and was stunned, allowing Pikachu the opportunity to hit it with {{m|Iron Tail}}. As the Desert Crocodile Pokémon falls towards the ground, Yabukuron fired a {{m|Sludge Bomb}} attack, sending it flying across the sky and disappearing. Ash and the kids then celebrate their victory.

As Iris and Cilan wonder what Ash is doing, Yuri realizes (from Ash's laughter) that he is actually having fun with the children, and decides to step in. The four persons waiting for Ash climbed over the scrap, and Yuri tries to negotiate with the children. Meanwhile, Iris questions Ash on how he become friends with them, while Yuri asks the kids just how long they're going to remain barricaded in the scrap. Hirota replies that they will not leave until she allows them to keep Yabukuron. When Yuri tells them that she can not allow Yabukuron to stay, Ash requests that she listen to the children before making a decision. However, Yuri strongly insists on not keeping Yabukuron and tells Ash to keep quiet, explaining that the kindergarten belongs to her. Ash claims the kindergarten belongs to the children as well, but Yuri explains that her responsibility is to keep the children safe, and thus she will resort to force if Yabukuron would not leave. Taking out a Poké Ball, she calls out her [[Yuri#Pokémon|Deerling]], but Ash defends the children by challenging Yuri to a battle.

As Iris and Cilan exclaim in shock, and Yuri questions in surprise, Ash announces that he is, too, part of the "Yabukuron Squad". Reluctantly, Deerling starts off the battle by charging at Pikachu with a {{m|Tackle}} attack. Pikachu was hit, but he quickly recovers and retaliates with a {{m|Thunderbolt}} attack. Deerling immediately dodges and jumps up onto the pile of scraps in preparation for another Tackle attack, causing Thunderbolt to miss. It jumps off the scraps and charges at Pikachu, trying to hit it again with Tackle. However, Pikachu skilfully dodges it and with excessive momentum, Deerling crashed into a pile of scraps. The surrounding stacks of scrap stirred with movement as the weight of a falling bookshelf is supported by Deerling's head. Kikuyo, realizing that the entire structure would collapse if Deerling moved away, orders Deerling not to move and cancels the battle. Ash tells the children to evacuate the area as he and Pikachu help Deerling to hold the scraps up. As the rest of the scraps begin vibrating vigorously, both Iris and Cilan jumped down to assist in getting the children to safety. Yuri orders Hirota to move away, but he refuses to leave Yabukuron behind. Out of a sudden, a large bookcase lost its balance, and Yuri jumps behind him and shields him from the falling bookcase, telling him to move to safety. As Yabukuron watches, touched by how everyone is trying to keep it and the kids safe, it helps by blasting away the toppling scrap with Sludge Bomb before it could fall. Despite making a huge mess of the playground, Yabukuron eventually saved everyone from impending danger, and Yuri had a change of heart towards it.

With tears in their eyes, the children apologizes to their teacher, and she too apologizes for not listening to them before. As Ash reminds her of what Yabukuron means to the children, he asks her to consider about letting it stay. She contemplates for a while, then turns and smiles to Yabukuron and welcomes it into the school. Initially surprised, Yabukuron smiles and was given a group hug by the overjoyed children. Kikuyo finally reveals that once Yabukuron befriends a person, it will stop expelling bad odors. Cilan asks if she knew that all along, and she hints of her experience by saying she is a daycare worker, to which Iris argues that she could have told Yuri from the beginning. However, Kikuyo claims that with regard to both Pokémon and children, a teacher must learn how to raise them properly on their own, and it would be too easy to simply tell Yuri what to do.

Ash, Iris, Cilan, all of their Pokémon (excluding {{TP|Iris|Excadrill}}), and Yabukuron spend the rest of the day (and night) returning the scraps to the scrap yard. The next morning, Yuri thanks the group for all of their help the day before, and Kikuyo presents Ash with an egg as a reward for all his efforts. Ash thanks her and accepts the egg. The children then informs Ash that he's always welcome in the Yabukuron Squad, and he tells them that he looks forward to battling them someday. Ash and his friends then leave for Nacrene City. With a Pokémon egg in hand, Ash, together with Iris and Cilan, now wave goodbye to their new found friends.

==Synopsis==
{{incomplete synopsis}}
{{Ash}} is traveling along with {{AP|Pikachu}} as they begin their journey towards [[Striaton City]] and the first [[Unova]] [[Striaton Gym|Gym]], however Ash is finding himself followed by {{an|Iris}}, the young girl he met a couple of days earlier. Tensions rise after Iris and Ash argue about who is following who, which lead to some name calling, when suddenly the {{p|Oshawott}} who helped them save {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{TP|Iris|Axew}} from [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}} [[BW002|previously]] emerges. Iris is happy that Oshawott has followed her, but it soon becomes clear that he has actually followed Ash when he climbs on his shoulder and shoves Pikachu from his usual spot. Pikachu isn't very happy about this and tries to use {{m|Thunderbolt}} on Oshawott, but Oshawott deflects it with his scalchop, so the attack shocks Ash instead, much to Iris's pleasure.

Iris suggests to Ash that Oshawott wants to travel with him, and Ash agrees as thanks for saving Pikachu and Axew from [[Team Rocket]]. Ash throws a [[Poké Ball]] which hits Oshawott on the head and flies high into the sky...where it ultimately fails to react to the attempted capture. Ash realizes this isn't just any Oshawott, but the same one from [[Professor Juniper]]'s lab and, since he's under her ownership, he can't be captured by another {{pkmn|Trainer}}. At a nearby store, Ash calls Professor Juniper, and the Professor is very relieved to hear that Oshawott is safe. She agrees that Ash can take care of Oshawott and transfers his Poké Ball to him, but warns him to keep his eyes on him due to its tendency to run off. Ash ends the call and prepares to recall Oshawott, but the Sea Otter Pokémon has—as Professor Juniper warned—run away somewhere, leaving Ash and Iris to begin searching for him.

Unfortunately, the search doesn't get very far as the two fall into a pitfall trap that was in the road. They look up and see a young boy named [[Dan]], who explains that trap was dug by a {{p|Sandile}}. At the same time, the Rocket trio fall down a similar pitfall and encounter a Sandile wearing sunglasses. Dan has helped Ash and Iris out of the pitfall by using a rope and explains that he is a young boy helping his [[Dan's father|father]] run a spa resort hotel, although their spa isn't open currently to due the Sandile. There is a flashback to explain that the Sandile wearing sunglasses appeared one day and made the rest of the (usually peaceful) Sandile act irrationally.

Ash then thrusts the challenge of solving this mystery upon himself. He decides that the best thing to to is to replicate what was going on the first time the Sandile first started rampaging. So Ash, Pikachu, and {{OP|Iris|Axew}} all have a sand bath. Meanwhile, Team Rocket are watching Ash when the Sandile that wears sunglasses turns up, and has been apparently following them since they fell into its trap. Iris reminds Ash that they were originally looking for Oshawott, causing Ash to rise from his bath. But all his stress is relieved when they see Oshawott taking a sand bath just opposite them.

The Sandile wearing sunglasses then burrows towards Ash and friends. It leaps out of the sand and gets ready in battle formation. Dan reveals that it is the Sandile's leader. It then launches an attack and grabs Axew in its mouth. Pikachu readies a Thunderbolt attack but is then stopped by Iris as her Axew would take the damage. The entire team (excluding Dan) then wrestle the Sandile in an attempt to get Axew back. The Sandile only relinquishes its grip on Axew when one of Pikachu's ears tickles the inside of Sandile's nose. Everybody then stumbles back. Sandile takes the opportunity to lash out and manages to grab Pikachu by an arm and Oshawott by his foot. The Sandile beings to run away with the two others until Team Rocket pick up the Sandile using a type of crane.

Team Rocket start to drive away with the three Pokémon dangling in front of them. In an attempt to get away, Meowth throws a smoke grenade at our heroes. It appears that Team Rocket have finally stolen Pikachu and gotten away with it, until the front left of the crane sinks into the ground. It is made apparent that the Sandile's leader had called upon a mass attack upon Team Rocket. Ash and crew catch up just in time to see the attack unfold. All of the Sandile use {{m|Dig}} at once and Team Rocket are forced to flee. The Sandile's leader is free.

The Sandile's leader takes its two captors to a certain spot and lets them go, the Pokémon unaware that Ash, Iris, and Dan are watching from afar. It turns out that the Sandile have rounded up other Pokémon ({{p|Patrat}}, {{p|Deerling}}, and {{p|Pidove}}). The Sandile's leader says something and a geyser erupts in the background. The Sandile then herd the gathered Pokémon away from were they are at, leaving Pikachu and Oshawott behind. Quickly, there is a sudden increase in the amount of erupting geysers. Dan makes a comment about how this has never happened before. Dan makes a hypothesis that the Sandile's leader predicted that this event would occur and tried to scare away all of the people and Pokémon so they were safe.

Ash then goes to talk to Pikachu and the Sandile spot him. Then a sequence of massive geysers go off. The Sandile go to confront Ash but as they do the piece of ground that the herded Pokémon were on becomes surrounded by boiling hot water. Under the heat, the rock they are standing on begins to crumble. Ash attempts to rescue the helpless Pokémon but can not reach them. Then one Sandile bites some rock and places its body in a vertical position, and allows another Sandile to climb upon it and bite its tail. This process is repeated with many Sandile. The Sandile then swing themselves down to form a bridge for the stranded Pokémon to climb over to safety. All of the Pokémon are too scared to cross the bridge though so Ash runs over the bridge to give them a pep talk, with Pikachu acting as his translator.

Just before all of the Pokémon get across, the rock underneath where the end Sandile is standing falls away. Ash then has to grab the end Sandile to stop it from falling into the water. Suddenly, another large geyser goes off and threatens to fall on top of Ash. Oshawott leaps up and uses {{m|Water Gun}} to deflect the falling water, but it begins to fall helplessly towards the boiling water. Ash reaches inside his pocket and draws out Oshawott's Poké Ball. He saves Oshawott from the fall by making it return. Distracted by his heroics, Ash loses his grip on the Sandile, but before it is too late, Iris grabs Ash's wrist and saves him. The Sandile bridge then retuned to its vertical state and collapses. For a reward, our heroes are treated to a free treatment at Dan and his father's spa hotel.

The episode ends on the lead Sandile, having dug itself up nearby from the ground, who laughs.

==Major events==
* The {{AP|Oshawott}} from [[Professor Juniper]]'s laboratory that has been following {{Ash}} joins his team.
* A wild [[Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime#Sandile|Sandile]] begins following Ash.

* During the initial airing of the English dub of this episode, ''[[Who's That Pokémon?]]'' was absent for an unknown reason (it is to be determined if future airings will restore it, though it was also absent from the episode's upload to Cartoon Network's Verizon FiOS-exclusive subscriber site).
** However the Dutch dub of the episode had ''[[Who's That Pokémon?]]'' and the featured Pokémon was {{p|Sandile}}.

=== Errors ===
[[File:BW003 error.png|left|thumb|200px|The error]]

* At one point in the episode, one of the sunglasses-wearing {{p|Sandile}}'s teeth is colored the same as its body.
* When the sunglasses-wearing Sandile is holding {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{AP|Oshawott}}, just before it turns around Oshawott's nose has the same color as his feet.
*In the English dub, immediately after the flashback scene in which Prof. Juniper introduces Oshawott, there is a misplaced sound effect of a Poké Ball opening, much like when a Pokémon is being sent out.
* In a scene where Team Rocket are holding {{AP|Pikachu}}, {{AP|Oshawott}} and {{p|Sandile}}, the tip of Meowth's tail is white instead of the the usual brown.

==Move Request==
The name of this page should be what the dub decided the dub title is in the latest [http://bulbanews.bulbagarden.net/wiki/TPCi_announces_numerous_upcoming_events press release], "Pokémon: Black and White". I'm not going to move it since I don't want any trouble. - '''[[User:Vhayes1992|Vhayes]][[User talk:Vhayes1992|1992]]''' 13:15, 25 January 2011 (UTC)
:Since, the official site says Pokémon: Black & White! so we should stick on this one until further confirmation a.k.a premiere. ♫♪[[User:Adyniz|'''Ady''']][[User talk:Adyniz|'''Niz''']]♪♫ 15:39, 25 January 2011 (UTC)
::I guess you're right. Don't jump the gun until everything is sorted out. - '''[[User:Vhayes1992|Vhayes]][[User talk:Vhayes1992|1992]]''' 18:51, 25 January 2011 (UTC)
==Dent, Pod, and Corn==
I understand why Corn isn't listed (Ash didn't beat him), but it was all just one gym battle, so imo, all three should be listed.--[[User:Burgundy|Burg]][[User talk: Burgundy|undy]] 01:52, 1 February 2011 (UTC)

== Opening song. ==

I believe the opening song for this season is officially "Black and White". --[[User:Spenfen|SpenFen]] 15:57, 12 February 2011 (UTC)

I think it's a tad soon to be removing it entirely. It's not 100% confirmed that that egg hatches into Meguroco, although I admit it's entirely possible. But for all we know, the egg could hatch into Zuruggu and go to Iris, a'la Togepi, then Ash'll catch the sunglasses Meguroco. Or the egg hatches into something different that Ash Oaks for Meguroco. Or something. All I'm saying it, it's a bit too soon to be doing anything more than acknoweledging the possibility that the egg is Meguroco. - ''unsigned comment from [[User:Missingno.

'''Sunglasses Waruvile''' (Japanese: '''サングラスのワルビル''' ''Sunglasses Waruvile'') is a [[wild Pokémon]] which appears multiple times in the [[Pokémon anime]].

==History==
[[File:Sunglasses Sandile.png|thumb|250px|left|As a Sandile]]
Waruvile made its first appearance in ''[[BW003|A Sandile Gusher of Change!]]'' as a Sandile. It, along with a group of other Sandile, caused trouble at the spa resort on {{rt|1|Unova}}. It was actually trying to save the other Pokémon in the area because it knew that a geyser would soon erupt. {{Ash}}, {{an|Iris}}, and the son of the spa resort owner, [[Dan]], helped Sandile save the Pokémon, and Sandile's group leaves.
Sandile appeared again in [[BW012]], where it wanted to battle {{AP|Pikachu}}. It randomly attacked with {{m|Stone Edge}}, not caring that there were small children in attack range. It was defeated by a wild {{p|Yabukuron}} who wanted to protect the children.

Sandile reappeared in [[BW020]], in which it evolved into Waruvile.

'''Brock''' (Japanese: '''タケシ''' ''Takeshi'') is a close {{ashfr|friend}} and former traveling partner of [[Ash Ketchum]].

==About==
[[Image:Brock OS.png|200px|thumb|left|Brock in the original series]]
In the {{pkmn|anime}}, Brock is a [[Pokémon Breeder]] and a former [[Gym Leader]] who is a {{ashfr|close friend}} and traveling companion of {{Ash}}'s. Some notes on official sketches of his character set his age at 15 at the start of the series.

He originally trained {{type2|Rock}} [[Pokémon]], but has, since [[EP006|the second episode he appeared in]], diversified. As he has stated in ''[[DP125|Battling A Cute Drama!]]'', his philosophy is that the important thing about being a Pokémon Trainer is the bond between Trainer and Pokémon. He is an experienced cook and caretaker by nature, so he always makes scrumptious food both [[Pokémon food|for Pokémon]] and for humans.
[[File:Brock and Nurse Joy.png|250px|thumb|right|Brock flirting with Nurse Joy]]
One of his best known character traits is that he falls in love with every pretty woman he meets, particularly [[Officer Jenny]] and [[Nurse Joy]]. He can tell whether they are real (women) or [[Team Rocket|impo]][[Brodie|stors]] as well. This "ability" has been used multiple times in the series. He has always held a supporting role in the series, usually contributing more in terms of wisdom and comedic antics than the action and {{pkmn|battle}}s of the series.

Early on, he showed that he carries around a {{badge|Boulder}} for identification. He also has a [[Contest Pass]] for the [[Kanto]] region, though he only used it once, as well as one for [[Hoenn]] which was required to watch a contest there.

Brock has had two notable musical appearances. One is the Japanese ending theme タケシのパラダイス ''[[Takeshi's Paradise]]'', which is about his love for women and his determination to find love despite often appearing foolish and getting heartbroken. There is a running joke about him singing this song often in the anime, since it's the only song he knows. The other is the [[Pokémon Karaokémon]] song ''[[Two Perfect Girls]]'', which is about his love of both Officer Jenny and Nurse Joy.

==Appearance==
[[File:TakeshiAG.png|200px|thumb|right|Brock in the ''Advanced Generation'' series]]
Brock's most notable feature about his appearance is that his eyes naturally appear closed. The rare times people see them open are when they are forced open unnaturally: from a hit with {{AP|Charmander's|Charizard}} {{m|Flamethrower}} in ''[[EP032|The Ninja Poké-Showdown]]'', when being hit in the back of the head by {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}}'s tail in ''[[EP050|Who Gets to Keep Togepi?]]'', and when he makes a face for {{AP|Larvitar}} in ''[[EP260|A Crowning Achievement]]''. This has been the center of fan attention for a long time.

He also has tan skin, notably darker than the skin of any other major character in the anime, until {{an|Iris}} in the {{series|Best Wishes}}.

Brock, along with {{Tracey}} and {{an|Cilan}}, are the tallest of {{ashfr|Ash's traveling companions}}, and the closest to looking like an adult. Next to actual adult characters, however, it is clear that he is still a teenager.

Not counting temporary outfits, he has worn {{DL|List of clothing in the anime|Brock|three different outfits}} over the span of the anime, all of which have had the colors orange, green, and brown, with blue shoes. His outfits in the games are also made up of the colors orange, green, and brown.

==Character==
[[File:Brock open eyes.png|thumb|left|200px|Brock with his eyes open in ''[[EP260|A Crowning Achievement]]'']]
Brock is considered the most mature, wise and level-headed of the main characters, and he is arguably the most intelligent character as well. He often acts as an older brother and caretaker to the other characters and a voice of reason in disputes. He will usually place others before him and will help and support his friends even against his better judgment or at his own expense. While he is not shown to battle often, he can understand the situations and strategies in any [[Pokémon battle]], and often explains them to the other characters, probably due to the fact that he was once a [[Gym Leader]]. His wisdom is possibly derived from how observant he is; he can tell just by sight how a Pokémon is feeling and spot the differences between the various [[Officer Jenny]] and [[Nurse Joy]].

Brock always carries books and maps with him, and thus is usually the character who knows where the group is headed and what they can do when they get there, though in [[Advanced Generation series|Advanced Generation]] this role was mostly taken over by the [[PokéNav]]. He also carries a lot of other supplies, such as [[potion]]s, [[Pokémon food]], and a set of cookware, as well as practical tools like a brush and pocket knife; in ''[[EP009|The School of Hard Knocks]]'', the extent of his preparedness and comically large capacity of his [[bag]] was demonstrated, as he pulled out a table and full tea set out of his backpack. He is a domestic, and grooms not only his Pokémon but also those of his friends with whom he travels. He handles all the cooking and cleaning for his friends.

Despite this, all his maturity and rationality leaves him completely at the sight of a beautiful woman, as he falls in love with every pretty girl he meets. Brock has a desperate need for female companionship which grows worse as he fails to gain it. He will do anything and everything he thinks will impress women, which inevitably ends with his heart being broken every time. A few women have shown interest in him as well, such as [[Wilhelmina]], [[Temacu]], {{FB|Pike Queen|Lucy}}, [[Holly]], {{si|Autumn}}, [[Narissa]] and [[Lizabeth]], but most do not notice him or are not interested. No matter how many times he is disappointed, though, Brock remains determined to find a girl to start a relationship with, and has indicated several times he would stop traveling with Ash and stay with the girl if this happened. This behavior tends to wear on the nerves of other characters, and {{an|Misty}} and [[Max]] have both commonly dragged Brock away from women by his ear. Some of Brock's own Pokémon, most notably {{TP|Brock|Croagunk}}, have attacked him for getting too flirtatious with women.

His goals have played a passive role in his character's activity and development. Unlike other characters, who aspire to achieve and excel in competitive fields like [[Pokémon training]] and [[Pokémon Contest]]s, his aim to become a great Pokémon Breeder is a quiet one and thus does not get showcased frequently. His other goal, to find a girlfriend, is similar to [[Team Rocket]]'s quest to capture {{AP|Pikachu}} in that both are for comedy and thus doomed to fail. His role has always been purely one as support for other main characters.

===History===
[[File:Young Brock.png|thumb|right|A young Brock]]
[[File:Brock family.png|thumb|left|220px|Brock's family]]
Not much is known about his early childhood, except that his first Pokémon was his {{TP|Brock|Onix|Steelix}}, which he received as a gift at the age of 10. Sometime after, his father, {{ka|Flint}}, left home to become a great {{pkmn|Trainer}}. When he never returned, his mother, [[Lola]], left them as well, leaving Brock to take care of {{Brocksib|his siblings}}, as well as their house and [[Pewter Gym]], by himself (though the English version of ''[[EP005|Showdown in Pewter City]]'' has Flint claim she died, and some speculate he was lying). However, Flint eventually returned home considering himself a failure, and instead of returning to his family he donned a disguise and sold rocks as souvenirs at the edge of town. After Brock awarded Ash the Boulder Badge, Flint came forward and confessed who he was. Flint took on the responsibilities of the Pewter Gym and his family, leaving Brock free to journey with Ash and {{an|Misty}}.

Brock only became the Gym Leader because he felt it was his responsibility, and he admitted to Ash that he would rather care for Pokémon than battle them. It is his dream to become a great breeder, and when Flint took back control of the Gym, Brock was allowed to start following this dream. Most notably, he took care of a {{TP|Brock|Vulpix}} that belonged to a breeder named [[Suzy]]. Shortly before Vulpix was returned, Brock used it in a [[Pokémon Beauty Contest]].

Brock was also able to meet and make advances towards the many beautiful women he met. At first, he was more casual about approaching women, such as the [[Officer Jenny]] in [[Cerulean City]], and more modest as well, such as when he met [[Melanie]]. However, he became more open and passionate towards almost all single young women as time progressed.

Brock briefly left the show during the [[Pokémon: The Adventures in the Orange Islands|Orange Islands saga]] to work for [[Professor Ivy]] on [[Valencia Island]] and so is only seen in a couple of cameos in the [[M02|second movie]]. While there, something happened that will probably remain secret as Brock will only huddle and say "that name" whenever he is asked about it. (Brock does mention his work for her in ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'', though this line was added in the dub.) After this incident, Brock returned to Kanto where he was found by [[Delia Ketchum]], who helped him to regain his strength. Brock then became a rival to [[Mimey]] until he rejoined Ash and Misty as the three traveled to [[Johto]]. They stayed together for the entire region, but at the end of this journey, the three went their separate ways, with Brock's help requested at home by his father.

In ''[[EP125|The Little Big Horn]]'' Brock mentions he participated in {{wp|Little League Baseball}} when he was younger.

Upon his return home, Brock was dismayed to find that his mother had returned and commandeered the gym, turning the Rock-type haven into a brightly decorated {{type2|Water}} den. Brock battled her for the honor of Rock-types and won, promising his brother [[Forrest]] that he would become Gym Leader someday.
[[File:Brock Memories.png|thumb|250px|Some old memories of Brock with his traveling companions]]
After that, Brock returned to follow Ash through [[Hoenn]], along with their new friends {{an|May}} and [[Max]], and then through Kanto again as Ash took on the Kanto {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}. He left briefly when the Advanced Generation series ended in order to visit his home, but quickly returned to travel with Ash and {{an|Dawn}} in [[Sinnoh]]. Near the end of the Sinnoh saga, Brock began to show interest in becoming a Pokémon doctor, and so, rather than following Ash to [[Unova]] to advise him, decided to remain in Kanto to study.

Brock is among the longest-running main characters in the anime, having been present in nearly every episode between ''[[EP005|Showdown in Pewter City]]'' and ''[[DP191|Memories are Made of Bliss!]]'', with the notable exception of the [[List of original series episodes#Orange Islands|Orange Islands saga]], the [[EP274|final original series episode]], the first three episodes of the {{series|Advanced Generation}}, and the [[DP001|first episode of the ''Diamond & Pearl'' series]]. His tenure is ranked only under {{Ash}} and {{AP|Pikachu}}, who have appeared in every episode, and [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}}, who have appeared in every episode except for the [[EP001|first]], [[AG120]], [[BW016]], [[BW018]] and [[BW019]].

Brock makes an appearance in [[SS025]].

===Pokémon===
As gym tradition dictated, Brock's first Pokémon were Rock-types. However, once he was able to leave his gym to travel, he has dedicated himself to learn about how to care for a variety of Pokémon. Thus, his Pokémon tend to be an eclectic mix of types and dispositions. However, all of his Pokémon tend to have strong bonds with Brock and are on par with {{Ash}}'s Pokémon in terms of battling strength, despite the fact that Brock does not go out of his way to train his Pokémon.

This is a listing of Brock's Pokémon as of the most recent Japanese episode. As Brock has returned to Pewter City in order to study to become a Pokémon Doctor, all of his Pokémon are there and none are listed as "on hand."

==In the manga==
===In The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga===
[[File:Brock EToP.jpg|thumb|right|Brock in The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]
Brock is a frequent recurring character in the {{pkmn|manga}} series [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]. Like in the anime, he is a traveling companion of {{Ash}} and {{an|Misty}}.

Brock first appears in ''[[ET02|Play Misty For Me]]'', where Ash challenges him for the {{badge|Boulder}}. After defeating Brock and earning the badge, Ash leaves [[Pewter City]] and continues his journey alone.

Brock reappears in ''[[ET04|Haunting My Dreams]]'', meeting Ash by coincidence in [[Saffron City]]. He becomes a steady traveling companion of Ash in ''[[ET05|The Human Race and the Pokémon Race]]'', though he seperates from Ash in ''[[ET11|Days of Gloom and Glory]]'' while he prepares for the [[Indigo Plateau Conference]].

Brock in the manga is much like he is in the Pokémon anime: he is the Leader of the [[Pewter City]] Gym, but he takes a break from his duties as [[Gym Leader]] to travel. Unlike in the anime, he does not hand control of the Gym to his {{ka|Flint|father}} or his {{TP|Brock|siblings}}, instead, he closes the Gym completely while he travels. Brock has a weakness for pretty girls such as [[the Sensational Sisters]], and he is the only character that can tell the many [[Nurse Joy]]s and [[Officer Jenny]]s apart.

[[File:Ash and Brock MPJ.png|thumb|left|Ash and Brock in Magical Pokémon Journey]]

===In the Magical Pokémon Journey manga===
Brock, along with {{Ash}} and {{an|Misty}}, make cameo appearances in bonus chapters of the [[Magical Pokémon Journey]] manga. In those, Brock and co. have mistakenly wandered into the world Magical Pokémon Journey is set in. The bonus chapters chronicle their attempts to return to their own world (of the {{pkmn|anime}}) and their encounters with various aspects of the Magical Pokémon Journey canon which differ from the anime's canon (such as the use of [[Poké Ball]]s).

==Trivia==
* Most official sources do not give Brock a last name. However, several sources suggest that in the anime, his last name is Harrison. In the July 2006 issue of [[K-Zone]] Magazine, [[Eric Stuart]] was interviewed and stated that Brock's last name is '''Harrison'''.
* Brock's house is located directly behind the Pewter Gym. His room is only seen briefly in ''[[AG034|Having a Wailord of a Time]]'', but what is seen of it shows that it is decorated in a traditional Japanese style, including {{wp|fusuma}}, a {{wp|tansu}} chest, and a {{wp|futon}} for a bed.
* Both of Brock's {{type|Poison}} Pokémon, {{TP|Brock|Crobat}} and {{TP|Brock|Croagunk}}, have names that start with ''Cro-''.
* Brock is one of three of Ash's friends who has had their father make an appearance in the anime. The others are {{an|May}} and [[Max]], who are brother and sister. Coincidentally, both fathers are Gym Leaders.
* Brock captured a new Pokémon sooner after his debut than any other main character, even Ash, by capturing [[Brock's Crobat|Zubat]] in [[EP006]].
* Brock's ''Advanced Generation'' and first ''Diamond & Pearl'' stock art use the same pose, changing only his outfit. However, a second stock art of ''Diamond & Pearl'' Brock was released in a different pose.
* Brock has been shown to be able to identify when women are really cross dressing men in disguise by having a peculiar lack of attraction to them. He's also able to do the opposite. A significant exception to this is Ash, who in the guise of [[Ashley]] was able to fool Brock.
* Brock has owned four Pokémon [[List of Pokémon with cross-generational evolutions|whose evolutions debuted in a different generation]] than that Pokémon. ({{TP|Brock|Golbat|Crobat}}, {{TP|Brock|Onix|Steelix}}, {{TP|Brock|Bonsly|Sudowoodo}}, and {{TP|Brock|Happiny}}). All of them have since evolved.
* When the {{series|Advanced Generation}} started, Brock brought only his {{TP|Brock|Forretress}} with him. Forretress is not in the [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number|Hoenn Pokédex]].
* Brock is the only one out of all of Ash's friends to have owned at least one Pokémon from each of the first four generations.



===Interview with Hidaka about Brock's short absence from the anime===
There had been some debate between members of the fanbase in regards to why Brock was removed from the main cast during the Orange Islands arc, why [[Tracey Sketchit]] was created, and why Brock returned later. In an [http://www.pokebeach.com/news/0708/second-pokemon-interview-with-masamitsu-hidaka-many-interesting-points interview] with former Pokémon anime director and storyboard artist [[Masamitsu Hidaka]], he stated his own reason why Brock was removed from the cast and why he eventually returned. He (or, rather his translator) revealed that the true reason they replaced Brock is because, once they realized Pokémon was going global, there was a chance that Americans, if not anyone else outside of Japan, would view Brock as a racist stereotype because of his eyes (even though there wasn't an actual complaint yet). So they created a "tall, anglo-saxon looking person to be on the safe side". They later replaced Tracey with Brock again once they realized that no one really cared as to what Brock looks like, and actually enjoyed his character.

However, this was only stated by Hidaka and not by any other staff member.

'''Oshawott''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ミジュマル''' ''Mijumaru'') is a {{type2|Water}} {{obp|Pokémon|species}}.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Futachimaru}} starting at [[level]] 17, which evolves into {{p|Daikenki}} starting at level 36.

Along with {{p|Snivy}} and {{p|Tepig}}, Oshawott is one of the [[starter Pokémon]] of the [[Unova]] region, able to be chosen at the beginning of {{game|Black and White|s}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Oshawott is a bipedal sea otter-like Pokémon, primarily light blue, dark blue, and white in coloration. Oshawott has a rounded, spherical white head, with small, triangular dark-blue ears to the sides. Oshawott's eyes are large, dark, and ovoid in shape; its dark-orange nose is shaped like an oval on its side. Oshawott also possesses speckles to the sides of its face, most likely meant to be a stylistic implication of short whiskers in the common manner of cartoon canines, and light blue bubble-esque features composing a "collar" around its neck. Oshawott's torso is light blue, and decorated with a pale yellow seashell feature in the center. Made out of {{wp|keratin}}, this appendage, called a "scalchop", can be removed and used in various ways; mainly, as a weapon. Its small, digit-less and somewhat rounded arms are white in coloration, with its feet—having, unlike its forearms, discernible digits—colored dark blue. Oshawott also possesses a slightly plank-shaped dark blue tail and a pair of fangs unseen until it opens its mouth.

====Gender differences====
None.

===Special abilities===
It can fight skillfully by detaching the scalchop on its belly. The scalchop can be used for a variety of different things, such as a acting like a sword, shield, and boomerang.

===Behavior===
If Oshawott is attacked, it will fight back using its scalchop without any hesitation.

===Habitat===
Oshawott mainly live in water but may come to land.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

====Ash's Oshawott====
{{main|Ash's Oshawott}}
Ash's Oshawott first appears in ''[[BW001|In The Shadow of Zekrom!]]'', under the ownership of [[Professor Juniper]]. He begins to admire Ash and decides to leave the lab and follow him wherever he goes. He then saves {{Ash}} and {{an|Iris}} from [[Team Rocket]] in ''[[BW002|Enter Iris and Axew!]]'' and reappears again in ''[[BW003|A Sandile Gusher of Change!]]'' where he officially joins Ash's [[party]].

===Minor appearances===
In [[BW019]] multiple trainers' Oshawott were seen at a [[Poké Mart]]. Later, a flashback of [[Cabernet]]'s {{p|Futachimaru}} as an Oshawott was shown after it had been beaten by [[Cilan's Pansage]].

==Trivia==
[[File:PokéSun May09 10.png|thumb|The three silhouettes on [[Pokémon Sunday]]]]
* Oshawott and its fellow {{2v2|Black|White}} starters were first revealed as silhouettes on the May 9, 2010 episode of [[Pokémon Sunday]]. They were later revealed in full in the June 2010 issue of [[CoroCoro]].
* Oshawott is the only {{type|Water}} [[starter Pokémon]] to be based on a mammal.
* Oshawott is the only {{type|Water}} [[starter Pokémon]] to not have an "i" in its name.
* Oshawott and its evolutions are the only {{type|Water}} starter Pokémon that are not in any of the Water [[egg group]]s, being exclusive to the {{egg3|Ground}}.
* Oshawott has the lowest base stat total of all {{type|Water}} starter Pokémon.
* Oshawott is the only [[starter Pokémon]] whose name begins with a vowel, discounting {{p|Eevee}}.
* Ken Sugimori said that Oshawott and its evolutions were the hardest for the team to design during production, as conceptualizing its evolutions were difficult. They eventually settled on a samurai theme and making its final form a sea lion after a trip to an aquarium.{{fact}}

===Origin===
Oshawott is based on a {{wp|sea otter}} and {{wp|samurai}}<ref>http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ds/interview/irbj/sp/index5.html</ref>. The shell on its stomach seem similar to {{wp|Japanese war fan}}s.

====Name origin====
Oshawott possibly derives from "ocean", "shell", "water" and "otter"; it may be a corruption of "ocean water". The "osha" part could be a corruption of "O-shaped", given that its Japanese name contains "maru", meaning round. It might make reference to the {{wp|Canada|Canadian}} cities of {{wp|Oshawa}} and {{wp|Ottawa}}, as Canada contains many protected areas in which sea otters reside. It could also make reference to {{wp|George Ohsawa}}, a famed dietitian born into a poor samurai family during the {{wp|Meiji Restoration}} of Japan. Its Japanese name may be derived from 水 ''mizu'' meaning water, or 未熟 ''mijuku'' meaning naive or immature, and 丸 ''maru'' meaning round. "-maru" is also a common suffix in male Japanese names. The syllable "mi" in its name, meaning "three" or "third", may imply a lineage within the evolutionary line with Mijumaru being third in line.

Scalchop, the official name for the shell on an Oshawott's belly, seems to be derived from "scallop" and "chop". It's Japanese name, ''Hotachi'', is a portmanteau of 帆立 ''hotate'', meaning scallop, and 太刀 ''tachi'', meaning sword.

== Takuto's Darkrai page ==

Considering that [[Sparky]], [[Harrison's Blaziken]] and [[Tyson's Meowth]] all have their own pages, shouldn't Takuto's Darkrai have a page of its own as well (I know it hasn't done much yet, but it's due to play a major role in the upcoming eps)? {{unsigned|Watchermark}}
:It doesn't need it's own page just yet, and if it doesn't meet the notability like the others it won't be created at all. This page is not suppose to exist yet technically. --[[User:HoennMaster|Hoenn]][[User talk:HoennMaster|Master]] 21:01, 27 July 2010 (UTC)

Darkrai didn't battle against Pikachu, it was defeated by Sceptile. And Takuto has Latios.-[[User:Billy4b2004|Billy4b2004]] 10:34, 26 August 2010 (UTC)

== Dark Pulse ==

in a picture on serebii i saw a picture of takuto's darkrai using dark pulse. is this worth putting on the page? [[User:Eevee obsessed 008|Eevee obsessed 008]] 14:14, 21 August 2010 (UTC)
:It's already on the page. It has just been hidden since the episode has not aired yet. --[[User:HoennMaster|Hoenn]][[User talk:HoennMaster|Master]] 15:11, 21 August 2010 (UTC)

==Moves according to Preview==

Darkrai's moves...Dark Pulse, Dark Void, Dream Eater and Ice Beam...[[User:Chomi|Chomi]] 09:50, 26 August 2010 (UTC)

stuff isn't added in until the episode airs

which is soon [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] 09:51, 26 August 2010 (UTC)

== Personality ==

What's his personality like? I pictured him as a jerk like Paul, but I think his real personality should be mentioned somewhere in the article.--[[User:Burgundy|Burg]][[User talk: Burgundy|undy]] 03:27, 30 August 2010 (UTC)

== Origin?? ==

Is it possible that Tobias, whose Japanese name is Takuto, is based off the world championship (seniors), Takuto Itagaki. Even if he's not, he's likely based off the champion. [[User:TheTheDragon14|TheTheDragon14]] 04:54, 22 January 2011 (UTC)TheTheDragon14

Does anybody else think his English voice actor is Dan Green? --[[User:Skulblaka Shurtugal|Long Live Pokémon! --Skulblaka Shurtugal]] 16:41, 22 January 2011 (UTC)

== 4 Other Pokémon ==

Since he competed in the Pokémon League, he has to have at least 6 Pokemon (i think, correct me if im wrong). So should this be posted under his pokemon?--[[User:Burgundy|Burg]][[User talk: Burgundy|undy]] 02:32, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

Burgundy: /* Trivia */

Shouldn't we change this to Jessie's Lickitung?
-Dawnfan47

You mean Benny's Lickitung? No. Benny is a character of the day, and Bulbapedia does not create articles about Pokémon belonging to characters of the day. If we had one for Benny, then we'd have one for Kay's Raichu, or Samurai's Metapod, or even Bucky's Dunsparce. --[[User:PAK Man|PAK Man]] [[User talk:PAK Man|Talk]] 22:40, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

== Regarding traded Pokemon ==

"Lickitung was the first Pokémon belonging to a main character to be permanently traded. Coincidentally, the second permanently-traded Pokémon is also of the Normal-type and receives an evolution in Generation IV, Aipom."

Uh, so [[James's Victreebel]] doesn't count?

It was released soon after it was traded so I guess it doesn't count as a permanently traded Pokemon. [[User:Farfetch'd|Farfetch'd]] 19:22, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

== Move protect ==

Looking at the history, I see quite a few moves that were quickly reverted. Should this article be protected against moves? --[[user:Baby G|Baby G]] ([[user talk:Baby G|talk to me]]) ([[Special:Contributions/Baby_G|see my edits]]) 20:31, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

== Trivia ==

Trivia on Growlie's page:
''"Growlie is the only one of James's Pokémon which isn't Poison, Grass, or Psychic-type."''

If this is notable, then should it be noted that Lickitung is the only one of Jessie's Pokémon which isn't Poison, Bug, or Psychic-type?--[[User:Burgundy|Burg]][[User talk: Burgundy|undy]] 01:17, 22 February 2011 (UTC)
:Growlie is noatable because James has more than one poison, grass and psychic, putting this on here would mean we could put the same on Wobbo's saying he is not a normal type [[User:05308|Diamond]] [[Lanturn (Pokémon)|Lanturn]] [[User talk:05308|CodeName: 05308]] 01:20, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

'''Cilan''' (Japanese: '''デント''' ''Dent'') is a {{ashfr|traveling partner}} of [[Ash Ketchum]]. He made his debut in ''[[BW005|Triple Leaders, Team Threats!]]''.

==History==
[[File:Cilan anime.png|thumb|230px|left|Cilan during a Gym battle]]
Cilan made his debut in ''[[BW005|Triple Leaders, Team Threats!]]'' shopping in his hometown of [[Striaton City]]. Seeing {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{TP|Iris|Axew}}, he was intrigued, as Axew itself is rare in Unova, and Pikachu does not appear at all in the region. He invited Iris and Ash to the [[Striaton Gym]], a café run by himself and his brothers [[Chili]] and [[Cress]]. When there, Ash becomes impatient quickly, and demands to battle the [[Gym Leader]], prompting the trio to introduce themselves and lead Ash to the Gym's arena.

Ash battles Chili first, with Cilan serving as judge, and then, winning, Ash faces Cress. Finally, Ash faces off against Cilan himself. After a heated battle with Cilan, which carries on to [[BW006]], Ash wins and gets the {{badge|Trio}}. Later on in the episode, Cilan decided to join Ash on his journey.

In [[BW019]] it is revealed that Cilan is a Class A [[Pokémon Sommelier]]. He has also gained a rival in [[Cabernet]], whom he beat as Striaton Gym Leader, inspiring her to train as a Sommelière and to beat him whenever she can. After her loss at the end of [[BW019]], she leaves, swearing to defeat him in the future.

Much like [[Max]], who had a [[PokéNav]], and {{an|Brock}}, who had a [[Pokégear]], Cilan has a [[Town Map]] for the group to use for their travels.

==Character==
Cilan is an A-class [[Pokémon Sommelier]] who can see the compatibility between a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} and its {{pkmn|Trainer}}. He is said to have a lot of knowledge on Pokémon, a trait he shares with Ash's former companion, {{an|Brock}}. He, like his brothers, has a habit of speaking about Pokémon in relation to tea. He has proved himself, like {{an|Brock}}, to be a good cook as he makes lunch for the group. He is also shown to be a skeptic, preferring to find logical scientific explanations for everything.

He, like his brothers, tends to speak about Pokémon in relation to their element, in Cilan's case, grass. All the brothers tend to use hand positions like rock, paper, and scissors - Cilan tends to accentuate words with his fingers.

==Trivia==
[[File:Cilan Current Party.png|thumb|240px|right|Cilan's current party]]
* Cilan, along with {{an|Iris}} was first revealed in silhouette in a preview for the {{series|Best Wishes}} that aired after [[DP183]] in Japan on July 1, 2010. The two were revealed in full exactly one month later during a trailer on [[Pokémon Sunday]].
* Cilan is the first of Ash's {{ashfr|male friends}} not to have a traditional Japanese name in the original version of the anime.
* In the games, Cilan can only be battled at the Striaton Gym if the {{player}} chooses {{p|Oshawott}} as their [[starter Pokémon]]. Notably, Ash has obtained {{AP|Oshawott}} from {{prof|Juniper}} as his first out of the Unova starter Pokémon, and has used him in his Gym battle against Cilan.
* Though many of Ash's friends have siblings, Cilan is the only who he and his siblings were a result of a {{wp|multiple birth}}, being Polyzygotic triplets.
* Cilan along with {{Tracey}} are the only two of the main protagonists not to have had their Pokémon taken from them by [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}}.
**He is, however, the only one of the main protagonists not to have a Pokémon to at least be attempted to be taken from him by the [[Team Rocket]] trio.

{{spoilers}}

== Synopsis ==
{{synopsis cleanup}}

{{Ash}} and {{jo|Harrison}} are left with only one Pokémon each. Both {{AP|Charizard}} and {{TP|Harrison|Blaziken}} start off with a powerful {{m|Flamethrower}} attack, which collide to form a giant smoke cloud. As the smoke clears, neither Pokémon is fazed by the explosion. Ash then commands Charizard to use Flamethrower again, which Blaziken easily dodges by jumping high into the air. {{an|Brock}} was surprised to see Blaziken jumping so high. Taking advantage of the fact that Blaziken can't move freely in the air, Charizard uses {{m|Dragon Rage}}, which, to Ash's surprise, Blaziken dodges, then counters using {{m|Quick Attack}}. Charizard flies up to dodge, but Blaziken attacks with Flamethrower. Charizard dodges and counters with another Flamethrower that collides with Blaziken's next attack. Then Blaziken uses Quick Attack again and Charizard is hit by a {{m|Fire Punch}}, but, unfazed, counters with a Flamethrower that hits Blaziken dead on.

Blaziken is ordered once again to use Quick Attack. As Charizard and Blaziken brawl it out, Ash commands Charizard to use {{m|Seismic Toss}}. Brock and Misty cheer as Charizard circles around in the air. As the smoke clears, Blaziken is seen to be down, but the announcer is interrupted as, to the surprise of everyone, Blaziken gets up. With both Pokémon tired out, Blaziken uses one more Quick Attack, which Charizard counters with Flamethrower. Charizard attacks again with Seismic Toss, but Blaziken dodges and smashes Charizard with a {{m|Blaze Kick}}, dealing severe damage to Charizard. Charizard, sustaining the damage, releases a full power Dragon Rage to meet Blaziken's Flamethrower. As the smoke clears, both Pokémon struggle to get up. Eventually both of them get up, but when Charizard is ordered to use Flamethrower, despite the advantage it had, it faints and Ash is therefore eliminated from the tournament.

Later, Ash and crew say goodbye to {{AP|Squirtle}} and [[Officer Jenny]]. In the next match, Harrison loses to another Trainer's {{p|Rhyhorn}}. Ash blames himself for Harrison's loss because Charizard and Blaziken battled so hard, Harrison was unable to use it.

That night, Harrison stayed alone in the nearby river, but [[Ash's friends]] joined him. Brock asked about how his Blaziken is, and Harrison answered Blaziken is going to be fine. Harrison also explained about [[Professor Birch]]. But when they heard somebody screaming, they hurried to the rescue.

Two girls were screaming as Ash and his friends ran over to them. The girls explained there are the ghosts. Brock reassured the girls, and told to use his {{AP|Noctowl}}. And he does, Noctowl uses {{m|Foresight}}, and the ghosts are actually some {{p|Misdreavus}}. Suddenly, {{Gary}} comes in, and explains the Misdreavus appear to be looking for something. Misdreavus goes off somewhere, and the gang follows.

They find another Misdreavus, which is stuck under a tree, and with their combined efforts, lift the tree to free the trapped Misdreavus. Gary runs over and inspects the Misdreavus. Thankfully, it was not injured, and all of the Misdreavus happily dpeart. Gary told the gang that Misdreavus actually live at [[Mt. Silver|Silver Mountain]]. He also explained that a {{p|Magikarp}} will evolve to a {{p|Gyarados}} and when a {{p|Remoraid}} would evolve into an {{p|Octillery}}, they change form completely. Gary reveals that he wants to be a Pokémon Researcher. After Ash and Gary again exchange their best wishes to each other.

Next morning, the [[Silver Conference]] comes to an end; with [[Jon Dickson]] becoming the Champion of the Johto League Silver Conference.

On the other side, Team Rocket are still waiting for the customers but because of the Silver Conference coming to a close, no customers can be seen. Suddenly, a huge group of people were heading straight towards the building. But they weren't customers; they were none other than their old customers, who have now cottoned on to their scam. Team Rocket go inside the building and the angry customers are surprised to see a building moving. They flee, and [[Jessie]] explained she had included a movable building feature.

Gary decides to travel through Mt. Silver then go back to [[Pallet Town]] while Harrison plans to keep on with his journey by participating in the [[Indigo League]] in Kanto. The gang decides to go to [[Viridian City]] then head back Pallet Town. Suddenly, they see the moving building. Team Rocket are happy to see the [[twerps]] and they start to recite their [[Team Rocket mottos|motto]]. They surely knew it is Team Rocket, and James fires a coin missile. As Ash and Pikachu prepare to fight them, Team Rocket raises a electric-proof net to capture Pikachu. Right then, Gary calls out his {{TP|Gary|Blastoise}} and orders {{m|Hydro Pump}}, which cuts the net in half. Harrison's Blaziken comes out next, and uses Flamethrower, setting the robot building on fire. Now, finally, Pikachu uses Thunderbolt and Team Rocket, together with the robot building, blast off.

The episode ends with everyone heading separate ways.

== Trivia ==
* This episode can be found on the second [[Game Boy Advance Video|GBA video]].
*This is the second Pokémon League where Ash loses the competition to a rival whom he knows outside the Pokémon league battles (the first being [[Ritchie]] in the [[Indigo League]]), who then loses the next round. It is also interesting to note that in both cases, Charizard was the last Pokémon used by Ash, except this time it didn't refuse to battle.
*This episode's title is a reference to the phrase '''A Photo Finish'''.
**This episode's title is also similar to [[DP139|a future episode]].

=== Errors ===
* After the explosion caused when Blaziken's Flamethrower and Charizard's Dragon Rage attacks collided, when Blaziken is attempting to compose itself, its hands are red instead of gray, and next, its tail is white instead of red. After that the yellow spot on its chest is white.
* The ref repeats that Harrison is from Silver Town instead of Littleroot Town as seen in ''[[EP265|Pop Goes The Sneasel]]'' similar to the mistake in ''[[EP270|Can't Beat the Heat!]]''.
* Gary, when talking about where the Misdreavus are from, says Silver Mountain instead of Mt.Silver

== Gliscor trivia ==

Two different evolutions, but the same Pokémon! That's what I'm trying to say here! Ash's Infernape is not a different entity from the Monferno that lost against Paul's Electabuzz. Each of Ash's Pokémon that evolved under his ownership in Sinnoh had learned a new move immediately following evolution (except for Gliscor). Not after EACH evolution, just after evolution. It could also be argued that Grotle and Staravia didn't learn new moves after evolution, but they did upon becoming Torterra and Staraptor. Evolution does not make a Pokémon into a completely different being. Ash's Butterfree is still the same Caterpie that was his first capture. Charizard is still the same Charmander Ash saved from an abusive trainer. Bayleef is still the same Chikorita that is in love with Ash, Ambipom is still the same contest-loving Aipom, and Infernape is still the same Monferno that learned Mach Punch immediately after it evolved from Chimchar. Based on this, I will put the trivia back on the page, and I urge you to not remove it again. Last thing either of us want is an edit war. - ''unsigned comment from [[User:Missingno.

== Online Episode Guides ==

Please don't go inserting information found on online episode guides, even if it's in hide code. Such action is in violation of our "until it airs" policy, and inserting such gun-jumping information beforehand not only implies that the online preview is accurate when it may not be (such as what happend with [[Roland|"Ian"]], but also makes it easier for other gun-jumpers to make the same assumption and unhide the potentially inaccurate information. Bulbapedia prides itself on accuracy, and if we were to copy mistakes on online episode guides before the episodes air, our reputation as an accurate source of information will go down the tubes. --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 01:48, 24 August 2010 (UTC)
:'''Violation of our "until it airs" policy'''? Huh... Then we should definately not include anything in the articles of those episode which are not aired on TV Tokyo yet like hiding Ash's, Brock's and Dawn's all Pokémon because that will be counted as ''jumping the gun'' as well. What about that? Pokémon.com is an official site (though it makes mistakes/errors like Roland thingy happened last week) that's why I kept ''that'' info hidden. I didn't added anything speculative (assumed by myself). We do add moves to the Pokemon articles like in the Ash's Heracross article, hyper beam is mentioned, we had Blast Burn mentioned in Infernape's article a few weeks ago and a lot more examples are there (we keep it hidden but still we add it). So, will it hurt anyone if we use Pokemon.com episode guide info (off course keeping it hidden)? ♫♪[[User:Adyniz|'''Ady''']][[User talk:Adyniz|'''Niz''']]♪♫ 02:13, 24 August 2010 (UTC)

::It's better to not copy potential mistakes at all than let potential mistakes be available in hide code for gun-jumpers who'd want to fully reflect what they saw online. What if that had happened with "Ian"? Bulbapedia's reputation would have taken a far bigger hit than it did by having it available in the hide code. There's a reason why we always wait for the episode to actually air to reflect dub names--if we were to reflect an online preview and it turned out to be wrong, many people would no longer trust Bulbapedia for their anime needs even when the mistake gets rectified. Giving a gun-jumper an easier time in gun-jumping may actually be worse than actually doing the gun-jumping action--in that instance, there'd be ''two'' people to blame for Bulbapedia's reputation going down the toilet and not just one.

::In all fairness, the articles for the town and the CotD, as well as any potentially-wrong names leaked by online previews, should be fully protected until airtime (11:00 UTC during daylight savings time)--that was the standard procedure until my sysop powers were suspended at the start of May, and there's actually no reason why this didn't keep going when it should have been. (I hope to earn full reinstatement sometime before the Japanese release of Black and White.) Move protection alone wouldn't be enough, gun-jumpers have been known to try to get around it by doing manual cut-and-pastes to reflect leaked info. Autoconfirmed protection alone also wouldn't be enough, as there are gun-jumpers with enough edits to their name that could get across the line (****, back when the Wallace Cup was starting in Japan, there was even a gun-jumping incident where the gun-jumper had sysop powers!).

::As for Japanese airings, "until it airs" was actually originally designed primarily for those, it was later adapted to include dub names when some inaccuracies between online sources and the actual episodes became more well-known. In fact, "until it airs" whenever it comes to stuff that happens in episodes that have yet to air in Japan is still pretty well enforced--information typically doesn't get added until it's supposed to (episode titles and the bare basics about the episode when the magazines reveal them, some end-of-episode preview stuff that can't possibly be contradicted when those previews airs, the rest of the episode's event when the episode airs in Japan), and if someone tries to gun-jump something that shouldn't, well, they quickly get reverted. Gun-jumping problems concerning Japanese matters is actually worse on other language ends that don't have more-enforced "until it airs" policies.

::In closing: Anything that could be seen as potentially aiding gun-jumpers, such as hiding stuff from an online preview in any place a gun-jumper could access, runs afoul of the "until it airs" policy. Simply put, if there's any room for doubt, leave it out. --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 02:45, 24 August 2010 (UTC)

:::You know SP252, I think you're the one "jumping the gun" here. Making a big deal out of something as minor as this. It's not like he just pulled all this out of his butt, it came from a reputable site, that is known to be sometimes wrong, which is why it was hidden in the first place. I don't see anything wrong with this if it's hidden. People aren't going to stop coming to Bulbapedia because of this little minor incident such as this. You mentioning your intension of getting your sysop powers back is all irrelavent to the topic at hand and just makes you seem desperate.

== Ash's Pokemon ==

You're working on Ash's Pokemon, right. Well the Best Wishes preview on that special show, "confirmed" that Ash is catching Pokabu. Since we saw Pokabu on the gray rock area near trees and Ash catches something there as well, so it must be Pokabu since Mijumaru, Mamepato and possibly Tsutarja are caught in different places. Also it does seem as if Ash is getting the female Tsutarja but it's less "confirmed", so I would hold off on that. Oh and Pokabu was seen battling Baoppu as well.--[[User:Dman dustin|Dman dustin]] 11:12, 16 September 2010 (UTC)

The DP192 and DP193 move didn't sit well with some of my superiors as well as other users. It was a unanimous vote to move them back to SS024 and SS025. Under the grounds that they can not be counted as main series episodes unless Ash appears in the flesh. The series ended at DP191 and that's how it's staying.

'''Misty's Corsola''' (Japanese: '''カスミのサニーゴ''' ''Kasumi's Sunnygo'') was the first and only {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} acquired by {{an|Misty}} in the [[Johto]] [[region]] and her ninth in total.

==History==
In ''[[EP210|Around the Whirlpool]]'', {{Ash}}, Misty, and {{an|Brock}} met [[Professor Elm]] who showed off his {{p|Corsola}}. Seeing it also made Misty want to have one.

In ''[[EP213|A Corsola Caper!]]'', the group met a family who raised Corsola to make jewelry out of their shed body parts. However, a wild Corsola came along and invaded the ranch looking for a friend, causing the Corsola in the area to flee. Eventually, all of the Corsola were recovered and Misty caught the wild Corsola with the [[Poké Ball#Generation II Poké Balls|Lure Ball]] she got from [[Kurt]].

Corsola also seems to have a joyous personality, like [[Misty's Togepi]]. It then became one of Misty's most used Pokémon and she continued to use it regularly throughout her travels in the Johto region. It was also used in the [[Whirl Cup]].

Corsola was featured in the TCG as one of [[Misty]]'s Pokémon. The following is a list of cards named '''Misty's Corsola'''.

==Trivia==
* Misty's desire to capture a Corsola and managing to after an extended number of episodes has been echoed by two other main female leads ({{an|May}} and her {{TP|May|Beautifly}} and {{an|Dawn}} and her {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}}).
* Misty's Corsola and [[Ash's Totodile]] were both captured in Lure Balls, which they are most always shown to come out of. This would later become standard in the games with the advent of [[Generation III]].

=No Water-Type Moves?=
"Despite being a Water/Rock Pokémon, Corsola has never had or used any attacks of either type." Um, '''[[Bubble Beam (move)|Bubble Beam]]''' is a Water-Type move.

== 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)

It didn't necessarily; just that the blue orb it shot out against the black orb Mewtwo uses [i]looks[/i] like Aura Sphere. Remember that that black orb of darkness Mewtwo uses is [[Shadow Ball]], which wasn't introduced until [[Generation II]]. However, the distance between this movie and DPPt is so far that it's likely just speculation. It [i]is[/i] a move of Mew's in GenIV, but this doesn't necessitate that it was used in Mv1. Who's to say it wasn't a variant on Psychic used in the movie? I like the idea, but in the spirit of Bulbapedia, this doesn't deserve a place on the page. [[User:Kumori Satosuke|Satosuke]] 15:20, 21 September 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)
:Mewtwo returns was the last time we saw this Mew.It was in Johto[[User:Darth Cookie Monster|Your Friendly Neighborhood Cookie Monster]]
::This is true. Mew was in the special. Where it is now, who knows? But it was in Johto, so that's how it is. [[User:Kumori Satosuke|Satosuke]] 15:22, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

I'm bringing this discussion back. Yes the special may have taken place in Johto, but we don't know if Mew actually appeared or if it was a vision by Mewtwo. It seems more likely a vision, but that doesn't count it as being in Johto. --[[User:HoennMaster|Hoenn]][[User talk:HoennMaster|Master]] 04:47, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
:The lake that Mew was sleeping in in the first movie was Mount Quena, wasn't it?
::Mt. Quena wasn't even thought of at the time of the first ovie so obviously not. --[[User:HoennMaster|Hoenn]][[User talk:HoennMaster|Master]] 09:27, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
:::Personaly i think, if Mewtwo was not just having a vision and really saw Mew, then it really does live in Mount Quana, but it was never stated in the anime if that was actually Mew or if the mountain in the special is the same as the one in the first movie. So yes, it should say Mew's current location is unknown because there is no real proof that Mew is at Mount Quana.--'''[[User:InuMimi|いぬ]][[User talk:InuMimi|みみ]]''' 22:32, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

It says Mewtwo is male, and since Mewtwo is the clone of Mew, wouldn't that make Mew male? I'm not quite sure how cloning works, so correct me if I'm wrong.--[[User:Burgundy|Burg]][[User talk: Burgundy|undy]] 23:49, 9 February 2011 (UTC)

Talk:List of Pokémon by animated series debut

2011-02-08T19:49:36Z

Burgundy: /* Sandile */ new section

Those that didn't debut yet: N/A for the episode box. Those which have debuted, but only in a movie: asterisk linking to the page of the movie in question. Non-legendaries which debuted in a movie but later appeared in the main anime: main anime episode number only. Legendaries which debuted in a movie and later appeared in the main anime: episode number of anime debut followed by an asterisk linking to the movie debut. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 07:42, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

== Pikachu Shorts ==

Do they count too?--[[User:Gyarachu|Gyarachu]] 20:57, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

== Specials ==

What about the specials and made-for-TV movies, like Legend of Thunder? [[User:Lucentas|Lucentas]] 20:59, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
:That's where the issue lies. For Raikou, really. LOT kinda counts like a movie for this purpose, so make it the asterisk. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 05:10, 7 December 2008 (UTC)

== Mewtwo ==

Does Mewtwo's appearance in ''[[EP063|Battle of the Badge]]'' count, as it was wearing armour? If not, when is it first seen without armour, [[EP065|when it destroys Team Rocket's headquaters]], or in the first movie? [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] 21:06, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
:Not a flashback, not a TV, so yes. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 05:10, 7 December 2008 (UTC)

== this is odd ==

If the title of the article is "List of Pokémon by anime debut" then why does it have a list of Pokémon with their anime debut right next to them??? "By" means "in order of" in this context. We need to re-order it or rename it. --[[User:RexRacer|'''Rex]][[Quilava (Pokémon)|Racer''']] [[User talk:RexRacer|'''''-talk''''']] 22:56, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

:While the list is sortable, it appears to simply be a text sort. i.e. * for movies at the top, followed by AG, then DP, ''then'' EP for the original series. At least could that be fixed? (Sorry, I don't know how) [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] 08:29, 25 December 2008 (UTC)
::The only idea I have is to create a third "airing order" column with straight numerals for easy sorting. However, I've asked TTE for help; hopefully he'll be able to come up with something more streamlined. --[[User:Martonimos|Marton]]([[wp:Chanukah|I'm Jewish]])[[User talk:Martonimos|imos]] 08:36, 25 December 2008 (UTC)
:::Hopefully, adding and commenting out the numerical order before the linked text will get it to sort properly. The thing is, someone'll have to go through and add them all. --[[User:Martonimos|Marton]]([[wp:Chanukah|I'm Jewish]])[[User talk:Martonimos|imos]] 23:42, 25 December 2008 (UTC)

== Chatot in AG183 ==

It says that Chatot was in AG183. I've seen that episode, and I don't remember a Chatot. I went to AG183's page. It doesn't say anything about a Chatot.--[[User:Pokelova|PokelovaAni393MS.png‎]] 09:18, 20 December 2008 (UTC)
: It's suppose to be [[AG184]]....--[[Charizard (Pokémon)|Force]] [[User:Force Fire|''Fire'']] [[User talk:Force Fire|''talk'']] 09:21, 20 December 2008 (UTC)

== Episode Pages ==

''Another'' question. Should the episode pages be updated to match this list, as many of them include Pokémon in different episodes, e.g. [[EP001]] lists {{p|Gengar}} in the debuts section (although it does point out that it debuted on TV) [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] 09:05, 25 December 2008 (UTC)

== Splitting ==

Anyone think the list should be divided into sub-sections? Its just too huge. [[User:Jmath|'''Jm''']][[User talk:Jmath|'''a''']][[Special:Contributions/Jmath|'''th''']] 20:50, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

== Mewtwo==
Wasn't the episode with the 8th gym battle Mewto`s debut? --×[[User talk:Impoleon xy|'''Impoleon xy''']]× 16:58, 8 March 2009 (UTC)
:No, but it certainly was Mew''two'''s debut. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 17:07, 8 March 2009 (UTC)
::Haha. -.- Sorry for that little mistake. --×[[User talk:Impoleon xy|'''Impoleon xy''']]× 17:08, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

== would it count? ==

Of course they aren't real, but wouldn't the mechanical charizard, Venusaur, Blastoise, Pikachu, Rhydon, Zapdos, Moltres, Kabutops in EP017 count as an anime debut?--[[User:Force Fire|FF]]([[Special:Contributions/Force Fire|edits]]•[[User talk:Force Fire|talk]]) 07:20, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

== I'm curious . . . ==

. . . I'm wondering if it would be a good idea to start an article about Pokémon that debut before their respective generation. The page would be big enough. All we would have to do is gather the information in chronological order of course and make sort of a history page about it. If you think a whole page is unnecesarry we could implement it into this-> [[History of Pokémon|♫]] It would take time but it would probably become a decent sized article and we could make a few links to it {{p|Marill|h}}{{p|Azurill|e}}{{p|Wailmer|r}}{{p|Buizel|e}} {{p|Manaphy|a}}{{p|Donphan|n}}{{p|Kecleon|d}} {{p|Munchlax|t}}{{p|Electivire|h}}{{p|Ho-oh|e}}{{p|Lugia|r}}{{p|Slowking|e}}.[[User:Landfish7| Land]][[User talk:Landfish7|fish]]7 21:20, 4 December 2009 (UTC)

== Sandile ==

He's listed twice, once with Waruvile's sprite. I'd fix it but its too long for my browser.--[[User:Burgundy|Burg]][[User talk: Burgundy|undy]] 19:49, 8 February 2011 (UTC)

==Ability==
I'm not sure if it should be editted in, but since Charizard DO only have {{a|Blaze|one ability}}, shouldn't Charizard's ability be listed as Blaze? Me and my fellow torchics agree on this - [[User:Sk8torchic|Sk8torchic]]. 16:27, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
:Unlike [[May's Blaziken]] and [[Ash's Chimchar]], it has yet to show its ability in the anime. Yes, in the games, it has only one ability.. But since it's the anime, we are clueless of what the writers could do. D: '''►[[User:Kevzo8|Ҝə]][[Special:Contributions/Kevzo8|υz]][[User_talk:Kevzo8|ø8]]''' 16:30, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

If Charizard comes back in the D&P League then maybe they could have ash mention it while he is there {{unsigned|MR115}}

Why is this page protected? I was just going to add a bit of trivia about it. [[User:Ghostkaiba297|Ghostkaiba297]] 07:08, 24 May 2009 (UTC)
:Someone keeps adding images. Try checking the article's history next time. :D [[User:Tc26/Anime Predictions|tc]][[User:Tc26|²₆]][[User talk:Tc26|tc]][[User:Tc26/Sandbox|26]] 07:09, 24 May 2009 (UTC)
::Can an admin add that until ''Charizard Chills'', Charizard only seems to want to obey Ash while fighting another Fire Pokemon? (Blaine's Magmar, Mewtwo's cloned Charizard, and Richie's Charmander) [[User:Ghostkaiba297|Ghostkaiba297]] 07:18, 24 May 2009 (UTC)

==Fly?==
Unlike the situation with Ash's squirtle and Surf (Ash's squirtle has never outright used or was issued to use the ''move'' Surf) Ash's Charizard actually learned to fly with ash on its back in Charizards Burning Ambition. Although it has never been used in battle Charizard did explicitly learn it so should it be counted as a move it knows? -- [[User:D558|D558]] 01:50, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
:I agree. Also, unless I'm mistaken, Ash has commanded charizard to "Use Fly!" on multiple occosions, especially in Fighting Flyer with Fire. I think someone should add it. --[[User:Gen1king|''GEN'']]1[[User talk:Gen1king|KING]] 01:37, 29 January 2010 (UTC)
::Nope, this issue has already been resolved before. See [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Ash%27s_Charizard&diff=906293&oldid=906286 here]. --[[User:Rockersk08|rock]][[User talk:Rockersk08|ersk]][[Special:Contributions/Rockersk08|08]] 01:40, 29 January 2010 (UTC)
:::Actually if you watch "Charizard Chills" Ash says "Charizard Fly" which can be taken as Charizard using the fly move to get up out of range of attacks but(if it was in the game) missing with the next attack. Though truth be told a lot of the moves in the anime are way different to the games as in the anime Pikachu's Agility and Quick Attack are pretty much the same as Pikachu has always hit the opponent when using Agility. So in truth we probably shouldn't list attacks at all since they could be inaccurate.--[[User:Lycos Ex Mortis|Lycos Ex Mortis]] 11:00, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

== Mega Punch ==

I think it should be noted in the moves section that Ash commanded Charizard to use Mega Punch in Charizard Chills, which implies that he had learned it. --[[User:Gen1king|''GEN'']]1[[User talk:Gen1king|KING]] 05:07, 2 February 2010 (UTC)

== '''Fire Spin?''' ==

Episode 32 of the season 1 [[The Ninja Poké-Showdown]] during the battle between Koga's Golbat and Ash's Charmander, was the first time [[Fire Spin]] was used by Ash's Charmander, not as Charizard in Fighting Flyer with Fire. {{unsigned|Pookiemon}}

== Charizard Disobeying Ash ==
Can someone put a picture of Ash's CHarizard ingnoring his orders? I uploaded one but the admins removed it.

[[User:Pedraito|Pedraito]] 22:43, 8 March 2010 (UTC)
*I agree, Charizard either disobeying or attacking Ash has been a huge part of its character and would be appropriate for an image to be placed on here of either one. I have one from [[AG189]] that would work well, and it's in good quality... [[User:Johno1995|Johno1995]] 03:05, 19 January 2011 (UTC)

== Uh, Oh... ==

Who changed the main picture of Ash's Charizard? I like it a lot better, but there was already a debate about this.

== Charizard's Gender ==

Given that [[DP149]] confirmed without a doubt that Pokémon of the same gender cannot fall in love then doesn't this mean that, due to the romance with Charla, Charizard is ''definitely'' male? [[User:Watchermark|Watchermark]] 16:57, 11 April 2010 (UTC)
:In that case, we do have proof that Ash's Torterra is a male Pokémon but we can't put it until or unless it is clearly said or mentioned in the anime. ♫♪[[User:Adyniz|'''Ady''']][[User talk:Adyniz|'''Niz''']]♪♫ 17:03, 11 April 2010 (UTC)

== Charizard's voice in EP271 ==

I posted this at [[Talk:EP271]], but figured that it would probably get more notice/traffic here. I was watching the raw version of [[EP271]] (Ash's battle vs Harrison), and I noticed that the voice Charizard uses when it is sent out at the end is considerably different from the one used in the English dub in the same shot. As far as I'm aware Charizard's voice has been the same between the two versions throughout the series, with this one shot being the sole exception. Is there any information out there on who substituted Charizard's voice for this one shot, and why that change was made? It's probably worth noting in both articles if the information is out there. [[User:Matkin22|Matkin22]] 03:57, 10 September 2010 (UTC)

== Fly ==

So its not listed under moves anymore but there's a picture with a caption: "Using Fly". Should it stay there?--[[User:Burgundy|Burg]][[User talk: Burgundy|undy]] 02:55, 6 February 2011 (UTC)

'''Ash's Sceptile''' (Japanese: '''サトシのジュカイン''' ''Satoshi's Jukain'') was the second {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} caught by [[Ash Ketchum]] in the [[Hoenn]] region.

==History==
[[File:AshTreecko.png|200px|left|thumb|As a Treecko]]
{{p|Treecko}} was caught in the episode ''[[AG007|Tree's a Crowd!]]'' after Ash helped him in trying to save his old tree home; this event was followed by a battle with [[Ash's Pikachu]], and Ash caught him as a result of that battle. In the [[AG008|next episode]], Treecko struggled to make friends with the other Pokémon until it rescued [[May's Blaziken|May's Torchic]] from a wild {{p|Seviper}}, though it was badly hurt in the process. Later in the episode Treecko went of to do some special training on its own; when he had perfected a new variation of {{m|Pound}} in which he spun in the air before hitting the target, he battled the {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}} again, this time while under the ownership of [[Jessie]], and won.

In ''[[AG016|The Winner by a Nosepass]]'', Ash choose Treecko to battle [[Roxanne]]'s {{p|Geodude}} where it quickly lost. {{an|Brock}} pointed out that even though {{type2|Grass}}s are strong agaist {{type2|Rock}}s, Treecko did not have an advantage due to it not knowing any Grass-type moves. In ''[[AG020|Brave the Wave]]'' it was used agaist [[Brawly]], and while it managed to defeat {{p|Machop}}, it was still beaten by Brawly's {{TP|Brawly|Hariyama}}, which meant Ash lost the match. In ''[[AG026|Turning Over a Nuzleaf]]'', when he and the other Pokémon were separated from their Trainers, Treecko would frequently taunt {{AP|Corphish}}, though they later made amends in order to beat Team Rocket. Treecko battled Hariyama again in ''[[AG031|Just One of the Geysers]]'' and won, earning Ash the Knuckle Badge.

Treecko battled a {{p|Shiftry}} in ''[[AG037|Jump for Joy!]]'' to rescue [[Nurse Joy]]. Ash revealed in ''[[AG041|What You Seed is What You Get]]'' that the Shiftry had inspired him to try and teach Treecko how to use {{m|Bullet Seed}}. This became a reality when they met [[Natasha]] and her {{p|Grovyle}}, who helped Treecko learn the move using watermelon seeds.

In ''[[AG056|Going, Going, Yawn]]'', Treecko was used in Ash's battle agaist [[Flannery]]. He was chosen to battle {{p|Slugma}} but was recalled afted he was {{DL|Status ailment|burn}}ed. He was sent out again to battle Flannery's {{p|Torkoal}} but eventually lost. In ''[[AG065|Gulpin it Down]]'' it ended up temporarily becoming {{pkmn2|giant}} alongside a wild {{p|Gulpin}} that had been terrorizing a large city.

[[File:AshGrovyle.png|200px|thumb|right|As a Grovyle]]
Treecko evolved into {{p|Grovyle}} in the episode ''[[AG066|Exploud and Clear]]'' during a battle against {{Ho|Guy}}, whose {{p|Loudred}} had evolved into {{p|Exploud}} at the same time. Ash has used Grovyle in almost every gym battle since its evolution, including his battle against [[Norman]] in ''[[AG070|Balance of Power]]'', where it battled [[Norman's Slaking]] and activated its ability {{a|Overgrow}}. In ''[[AG085|Sky High Gym Battle!]]'', Grovyle battled [[Winona]]'s {{p|Altaria}} and won, despite the type disadvantage, and was later used against Winona's {{p|Swellow}}, though he lost. In ''[[AG101|Vanity Affair]]'' it once again battles an Altaria, this time belonging to the Hoenn [[Elite Four]]'s {{EF|Drake}}—with his incredible jumping ability, Grovyle was able to attack Altaria while it was in the sky, but was unable to defeat it. He was sent out to fight [[Juan]]'s {{p|Luvdisc}} in ''[[AG110|The Great Eight Fate!]]''. He was confused by {{m|Sweet Kiss}} and thrashed about, causing himself serious damage and fainting in the [[AG111|next episode]].

Grovyle was used many times in the [[Ever Grande Conference]]. His first battle was in ''[[AG128|Shocks and Bonds]]'' where he teamed up with {{AP|Glalie}} to battle {{p|Quilava}} and {{p|Charizard}}, and though he was able to defeat Quilava, he lost to Charizard, leaving Glalie to battle on his own. In ''[[AG129|A Judgment Brawl]]'', he battled [[Katie]]'s {{p|Walrein}} and won the match for Ash, and in Ash's next battle against [[Morrison]] in ''[[AG130|Choose It or Lose It!]]'', he beats Morrison's seemingly unstoppable {{p|Steelix}} only to be beaten by Morrison's speedy {{p|Gligar}}. In Ash's battle agaist {{ho|Tyson}} in ''[[AG131|At the End of the Fray]]'', he battled {{p|Metagross}}, and even after the damage {{AP|Swellow}} had caused, Grovyle was unable to beat Metagross.

Grovyle battled {{FB|Arena Tycoon|Greta}} and her {{p|Hariyama}} in ''[[AG149|Wheel of Frontier]]'', but was defeated.

[[image:AG163.png|right|200px|thumb|Ash and Sceptile]]
In ''[[AG161|Odd Pokémon Out]]'', he had a crush on a {{p|Meganium}} owned by a [[Nurse Joy]], and evolved into a Sceptile to rescue it when it had fallen into Team Rocket's hands. However, the Meganium was attracted to a {{p|Tropius}}, leaving Sceptile heartbroken and unable to use any moves. He regained his ability to use attacks in ''[[AG163|Cutting The Ties That Bind]]'' to save Ash from Team Rocket with the use of Leaf Blade. It then used Quick Attack to save him and Bullet Seed to soften the fall. It was used in Ash's battle against [[Palace Maven Spenser|Spenser]] in the following episode, ''[[AG164|Ka Boom With A View]]'', where it won Ash the [[Symbol|Spirit Symbol]] after learning a new move, {{m|SolarBeam}}.

In ''[[AG171|Pokémon Ranger]] - [[AG172|Deoxys' Crisis!]]'', Sceptile helped battle a wild {{p|Deoxys}}. It later battled another legendary Pokémon in ''[[AG178|Battling the Enemy Within!]]'', {{DL|Brandon's Regis|Regirock}}, when Ash was possessed by the evil spirit of the King of the Pokélantis.

In ''[[AG191|Once More With Reeling]]'' it fought in the {{to|Terracotta}} {{pkmn|Contest}} final against [[May's Blaziken]]. The battle resulted in a tie where both May and Ash won the ribbon.

Ash left Sceptile at [[Professor Oak]]'s lab before setting off to [[Sinnoh]].

In ''[[DP189|The Semi-Final Frontier!]]'', Ash's Sceptile had his third battle against a legendary Pokémon when it was sent out against [[Tobias]]'s {{p|Darkrai}} in the semi-finals of the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]]. It used its newly-learned attack, {{m|Leaf Storm}}, to attack Darkrai, but was hit by its {{m|Ice Beam}} first. Soon, Sceptile was hit by a {{m|Dark Void}} and was put to sleep, but was able to wake up almost instantly, shocking Tobias, and defeated Darkrai with a powerful {{m|Leaf Blade}}. However, it was unable to defeat Tobias's next Pokémon, {{p|Latios}}, whose {{m|Giga Impact}} had overpowered Sceptile's Leaf Blade.

==Personality==
Right from his debut, Sceptile has been known to act cool, calm and collected; holding a twig in the side of its mouth almost always. Sceptile has an overpowering pride, similar to {{AP|Buizel}}'s, that he will defend at all costs from anyone or anything that damages it, most notably after being defeated by {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}}, {{TP|Brawly|Hariyama}} and when a {{p|Tropius}} flirted with a {{p|Meganium}} he had taken a liking to. Before evolving into Sceptile, he was shown to tease the other Pokémon, especially {{AP|Corphish}}, although he would always defend and protect them.

==Trivia==
* Sceptile keeping a twig in his mouth is much like a 番長 ''banchō'', a juvenile gang leader, a character type that was common in {{wp|manga}} and {{wp|anime}} in the sixties and early seventies.
* Sceptile has been referred to as a male in episodes such as ''[[AG007|Tree's a Crowd]]'' and ''[[AG161|Odd Pokémon Out]]'', but only in the English dub. However, a female Treecko in ''[[AG034|Having a Wailord of a Time]]'' was shown to have a crush on Ash's Treecko, which may confirm its gender in other languages.
* It took 59 episodes for {{p|Treecko}} to evolve into a {{p|Grovyle}}. Incidentally, the amount of episodes to evolve again was the reversed digits; 95.
* Sceptile is Ash's first fully evolved Grass-type starter.
* Sceptile is the third of {{Ash}}'s Pokémon to defeat a legendary Pokémon, defeating Tobias's Darkrai in [[DP189|The Semi-Final Frontier]]. {{AP|Charizard}} and {{AP|Pikachu}} were the other two, defeating [[Noland's Articuno]] and {{TP|Brandon|Brandon's Regice|Regis#Regice}} respectively. Sceptile did not defeat Darkrai completely on his own as it was already weakened by Ash's {{AP|Heracross}} and {{AP|Gible}}, although that damage had been healed by {{m|Dream Eater}}.

===Traits shared with other Pokémon===
* Sceptile is the third of Ash's Pokémon to show interest in a Pokémon of a different species (a {{p|Meganium}}). The first was {{AP|Totodile}} who has shown interest in an {{p|Azumarill}} and a {{p|Quagsire}}, and the second was {{AP|Corphish}} who has shown interest in a {{p|Mawile}}.
* {{an|May}}'s {{TP|May|Venusaur}} can be seen as a parallel to Sceptile, as both are the final form Grass-type starter Pokémon from their owner's [[Generation III]] co-star's home region.
* Sceptile can be seen as a parallel to [[May's Blaziken]].
** Both are final forms of [[Hoenn]] {{pkmn2|starter}}s.
** Both reached their forms in the [[Pokémon: Battle Frontier|Battle Frontier saga]].
** Both were used in the {{to|Terracotta}} {{pkmn|Contest}}, where they battled each other and resulted in a tie.

Shouldn't we put a list of moves that they used, and for [[Jenny's Growlithe]] also? Like Chansey used [[Egg Bomb]] in ''[[DP038|One Big Happiny Family!]]''. --[[Image:Spr 3e 059.gif|70px]][[Image:Spr 3e 132.gif]]'''[[User:Theryguy512|Theryguy]][[User:Theryguy512/Contribution Page|5]][[User:Theryguy512/Mission Page|1]][[User:Theryguy512/Games|2]]''' [[Image:Trozeiani025.gif]] 12:13, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

Great Idea! I'll Get right on it

== Recently Used Moves ==

I don't think we should have these for Chansey, since they are multiple Chansey.--[[User:Burgundy|Burg]][[User talk: Burgundy|undy]] 18:28, 5 February 2011 (UTC)

==Dr. Proctor==
What would you think of mentioning [[Dr. Proctor]], HM? :0 Do you think he would count since he was forced to treat Pokémon at one point? [[Typhlosion|★]][[User:Jo The Marten|Jo the Marten]][[Flygon|★]] [[User_talk:Jo The Marten|ಠ_ಠ]] 22:21, 30 January 2011 (UTC)
:I was actually going to add him since whenever I think of Doctor in regards to Pokémon he {{tt|always crosses my mind|I mean who could forget that great episode!}}. However, I was unsure if I should add him because he only treated them when he was forced too. I was thinking of asking Kenji her opinion. --[[User:HoennMaster|Hoenn]][[User talk:HoennMaster|Master]] 22:25, 30 January 2011 (UTC)

Eyecatch

2011-02-03T22:23:04Z

Burgundy: /* Best Wishes series */

{{incomplete}}
An '''eyecatch''' is a transitional feature between a commercial break and a television show that is present in most Japanese anime. In the rest of the world, the equivalents are commercial bumpers. The Pokémon anime has featured eyecatches from its very beginning. Sometimes in the Pokémon anime, the 12 seconds available is used for two 6 second eyecatches or one 12 second eyecatch.

==Trivia==
* The only eyecatch retained for Western audiences was Dare Da?, which became "Who's That Pokémon?". Unlike its Japanese counterpart, however, it continued well into the {{series|Advanced Generation}}, ending in ''[[AG040|Watt's with Wattson?]]'' and being replaced by [[Pokémon Trainer's Choice]] until ''[[AG145|Pasta La Vista]]'', when eyecatches disappeared in the dub.
* {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} feature eyecatches when the player enters certain locations.

Talk:Timeline of events in Pokémon the Series

2011-02-03T00:23:39Z

Burgundy: /* Significant Events */ new section

It might be useful to note what is dated in the backstory. Here's the stuff on the top of my head:
*2 million years - First Pokémon dated by archaeology ([[EP163]])
*200 years - Orange League taking place ([[EP095]])
*50 years - Sammy Oak born ([[Pokémon 4Ever]])
*40 years - Sammy Oak goes on his Pokémon Journey ([[Pokémon 4Ever]])
*10 years - Misty born ([[EP003]])
*10 years - Ash born ([[EP001]], Shopro)
*10 years - May born ([[AG001]], Shopro)
*10 years - Dawn born ([[DP001]])
**The four were born in that order
*7 years - Max born (Shopro)
*
*[[EP005]] - 2 weeks have passed
*[[EP031]] - Several months have passed
*[[EP063]] - A year has passed
*[[Pikachu and Pichu]] - Second year has passed

:Problem, which I noticed when I went to take the anime info out of [[history of the Pokémon world]] - that article says 400 years ago. And the one on the [[Orange League]] itself says 300 years. What's the number? --[[User:Pie|Pie]] ~[[User talk:Pie|♪]][[Special:Contributions/Pie|♫]] 07:08, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

I am a bit sceptacle on Jessie and James joining Team Rocket before Max's birth. --[[User:Fabu-Vinny|FabuVinny]] [[User talk:Fabu-Vinny|T]]-[[Special:Contributions/Fabu-Vinny|C]]-[[User:Fabu-Vinny/Sandbox|S]] 23:03, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
:Eh, true... --[[User:Pie|Pie]] ~[[User talk:Pie|♪]][[Special:Contributions/Pie|♫]] 23:13, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

== Ash turns 10 ==
I'm pretty sure there's nothing in Episode 1 saying Ash turned 10 on that day. All he says is "Now that I'm ten years old..." which means he could have turned 10 any time recently. The day seems to be one where numerous 10-year-old trainers are leaving Pallet - hence why Gary and the other two mystery trainers leave on the same day. Unless they're supposed to have the same birthday. --[[User:Pie|Pie]] ~[[User talk:Pie|♪]][[Special:Contributions/Pie|♫]] 16:25, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
:Even though it is possible that he did turn 10 the night before he got Pikachu, which is chronicled in the episode itself, it is far more likely that he and the others turned ten just fairly recently, and had to wait for Oak's give-away day. --'''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 06:04, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
::In Pokémon 4ever and Pokémon Heroes, Brock says in the introduction that Ash got Pikachu on his tenth birthday. This could have been the script writer's mistake or maybe it's true. [[User:Taromon777|Taromon777]] 23:20, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

== Birth years of Ash, May, Dawn ==
According to this article, Ask, May, and Dawn were all born within the same year. From my own knowledge, one of the movies that took place before the Advanced Generation (or, perhaps, it was in The Battle of the Badge as stated in the article itself) stated that it had been one year since Ash set off - making him at least eleven years old if May was ten at the beginning of Advanced Generation. Later, in "Date Expectations" (AG114), Ash says to May, "There's not going to be another Grand Festival for a whole 'nother year!" If we assume the most recent Grand Festival in the anime was the one in Kanto during Battle Frontier, that means that at the end of Battle Frontier, Ash would be at least twelve, and May at least eleven. If we assume that Dawn was ten at the beginning of Diamond & Pearl, then at the beginning of Diamond & Pearl, Ash would be at least twelve, May at least eleven, and Dawn ten. This shows at least a TWO-YEAR SPREAD of birth years, even though the article says that they were all born in the span of less than ONE year. Could this be resolved please? Thank you. [[User:Ultraflame|Ultraflame]] 00:53, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

:I second this. Each of them are at least a year younger then the last, however I don't want to change it without seeing more peoples thoughts on it. I also thought that in one episode it mentioned something about Misty being a year older then Ash, but I could be wrong.Can anyone else back me up on that?[[User:Ai Hikari|Ai Hikari]] 03:39, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
::See the [[aging in the anime]] article for our policy on that. The only official statement we have on this issue is that Ash and May were both 10 at the start of AG despite claims of two years passing since the beginning of the series. The writers apparently don't pay attention so the logic doesn't work.
::The Grand Festival argument is not valid, though. Each region's Grand Festival is a seperate competition. --[[User:Fabu-Vinny|FabuVinny]] [[User talk:Fabu-Vinny|T]]-[[Special:Contributions/Fabu-Vinny|C]]-[[User:Fabu-Vinny/Sandbox|S]] 17:04, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
:::Could it at least be changed to a ??? instead of 10 years ago? Or something like 10< or 10+? The thing is, even with the lack of logic or ageing, Ash has to be older than 10 because they've mentioned passing years in several episodes. The other thing is that if he's still 10 none of his achievements have existed unless the leagues are about a quarter of a year long. I also think it's odd how Misty is the same age as Ash - I would have thought she was at least a year older. This will all probably be dismissed because against no-aging rule these arguments are weak but wouldn't it make more sense if Ash's age (and birth) was left an enigma? --☆[[User:Woodland Mudkip|Woodland:M]] ☆ 22:27, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
::::I think Misty is slightly under a year older than Ash, maybe ten months older or something. That way they could both have been ten when the series first started, and then Misty could have turned eleven a few months later. [[User:Taromon777|Taromon777]] 23:23, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

I also thought Misty was a year older than Ash, but maybe someone just started this and it spread into every site and fanfic, so that we all might have been wrong about it.
Anyway, it must definitely be true that Ash is around a year older than May who should be around a year older than Dawn. Just add the time they need to travel. It's always like "several days have passed, and now our heros have arrived in..."
Even if the anime doesn't care about aging, I think it's logic to do so. [[User:Eevee-Girl|Eevee-Girl]]

Even if it's officially stated that "Satoshi is still 10 at the start of AG", I don't buy it. Perhaps a better way of dealing with May/Dawn's births can be listed as perhaps "10 years prior to AG" and "10 years prior to DP"? After all, it's indesputable that way. --[[User:Sato|Sato]] 12:17, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

Does it really make sense that "Sir Aaron tried to stop the war. He seals his Lucario in a staff" happened two ''million years'' ago? The castle is still standing. --[[User:Coolbho3000|Coolbho3000]] 18:39, 24 August 2008 (UTC)

:Yeah, you're right... --[[User:Politoed666|ニョロトノ]][[User talk:Politoed666|''666'']] 18:40, 24 August 2008 (UTC)

::Makes no sense whatsoever. Especially since it's dated alongside "First Pokémon existed, according to archaeology. That war showed a plethora of Pokémon. Just because it happened before Poké Balls existed, and features an ancient art doesn't mean it happened 2 Million years ago. 2 Million Years ago, Homo Erectus was just getting going. Does this mean that Sir Aaron and Princess Rin are Homo Erectus? What's more, does this mean Princess Irene is a descendant of a Homo Erectus? Such placement of Movie 8's prologue is absolutely ridiculous. Probably would make more sense alongside the Otomegasaki reference at 2000 years ago. But heck, we have no idea, so why are we labeling a timeframe for it? Smells awfully like fan speculation to me - and you know what they say about fan speculation... [[User:Kumori Satosuke|Satosuke]] 06:34, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

My guess it the stupid english dubs made the "2 million year ago story".They come up with all sorts of rubbish.--[[User:Solidstate|Solid!]] 04:55, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

==One year==

It should be noted that the "it's already been a year" line was dub-only. In the Japanese version, Satoshi (I believe) said it had just been a long time since they were last in Tokiwa City. The dub also makes up a few other details, like contests happening once a year.--[[User:Biccy|Biccy]] 21:53, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

== missing episodes ==

there seems to be a few episodes missing.That would have something interesting to write about
[[Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon|Pocket Monsters]]

[[A Chansey Operation|Pocket Monsters]]

--[[User:Solidstate|Solid!]] 09:17, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

The movies also don't seem to be placed.--[[User:Trebligoniqua|Trebligoniqua]] 16:55, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

== Chikorita had a Crush on Ash ==

I think this should be included because it plays role in many episodes to come. It is revealed in [[EP127|Once in a Blue Moon (EP 127)]] [[User:SinnohFan|SinnohFan]] 01:54, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

== Movies? ==
Why are the movies not included in the timeline? Lots of inportant stuff happened like Mewtwos plot to destroy the human race, Lugia and the bird trio causing a global desater, the reawakining of a diety! So why arn't they included? [[User:EpicShadow|EpicShadow]] 17:26, 8 September 2010 (UTC)
:That's because movies are not considered canon. While you state interesting info such as with Lugia and Mewtwo, there is no true way to know whether it happened according to the anime or not. Even if so (like with Lucario and the Mystery of Mew), there is no place to put it. Notice that it's chronologically listed (timeline). So the examples you state... we don't know where to put them... [[User:Ht14|'''''ht''''']][[User talk:Ht14|''14'']] 02:03, 9 September 2010 (UTC)
::This was copied and pasted from the trivia section of Mewtwo Strikes Back> "The events of this movie happen after The Pi-Kahuna and before Make Room for Gloom, though it premiered in Japan between The Case of the K-9 Caper and Pokémon Paparazzi." There is a chronologicle place for some of the movies, if there wasn't they woudn't post trivia like this in the trivia section for those movies. This one in particuler would fit perfectly into the timeline even if the characters don't mention it because they forgot the events that happend during their visit to New-moon Island and was later adressed in the Mewtwo Returns special. [[User:EpicShadow|EpicShadow]] 17:09, 9 September 2010 (UTC)
:::The problem is that how we set it up, it's by season, and thus by episode chronology; the movies are not exactly part of the season, though I understand what you're saying. But, notice how there are no events in regards to the anime specials either, with Raikou and the appearances of Ritchie, etc. I dunno. [[User:Ht14|'''''ht''''']][[User talk:Ht14|''14'']] 17:39, 9 September 2010 (UTC)
::::But Mewtwo did make a couple apperances in the anime befor the movie aired, those few clips were then used in the movie. There is evedence that he exists in the anime and that the events actualy happend. I would also like to know why the Pokémon Ranger specials are listed and why they are considerd cannon, because as far as I've seen Pokémon rangers don't exist outside of movies and specials. [[User:EpicShadow|EpicShadow]] 18:14, 9 September 2010 (UTC)
:::::[[DP070|Here]] and [[DP071|here]]. Also, in the events of [[EP220]][[EP221|-]][[EP222]], there's no evidence of Ash meeting a Lugia before. [[EP187]] is one ep that Articuno is shown, yet Ash takes out his Pokédex, signifying he's never seen it before. Though, that evidence is lacking since there are multiple times that happens even within the anime series. [[User:Ht14|'''''ht''''']][[User talk:Ht14|''14'']] 19:52, 9 September 2010 (UTC)
::::::First of all you ment [[DP071|Here]] and [[DP072|Here]]. But those episodes were also considerd specials wich goes with what I said. Also the pokedex reads multiple Pokémon multiple times as a curtisy to the veiwers who missed earlier episodes. For Articunu spicificly this makes sense because it doesn't appear often. They started making the newer characters like May and Dawn scan the already scanned pokemon because it makes more sense but they could not do this in the case of Articuno because they laked the other characters that own a Pokédex. [[User:EpicShadow|EpicShadow]] 20:19, 9 September 2010 (UTC)
:::::::If they were specials, then they'll be outside of the season... that's what I was trying to tell you also, I'm agreeing with you about that, but you interpreted it wrong... my last statement, mind you. And, at Articuno, Ash explicity remembers Ho-Oh [[EP181|from 180 episodes ago]] after seeing it. [[User:Ht14|'''''ht''''']][[User talk:Ht14|''14'']] 22:00, 9 September 2010 (UTC)

== Birth years and such ==

All of it seems speculative. Like I doubt Johanna won the Grand Festival right after Jessie was born. And I don't think there was any proof of Paul being 11 other than PokeAni estimating it to be so. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 12:11, 21 January 2011 (UTC)

== Is this even nessacary? ==

I'm sorry, but timelines are generally full of fanwanking, I really don't think this is a good idea for an article. Or at least remove the superflous "entries" like birth years.[[User:PDL|PDL]] 05:15, 29 January 2011 (UTC)

== Significant Events ==

''"This is a chronological list of '''significant events''' in the anime and the episodes which they occurred in, or, for events which happened outside the series, where they happened in relation to the episodes.''"
Many facts on this list aren't that significant... In AG002, it mentions that Ash and May arrive in Oldale Town, and that they leave Oldale Town. Not that big a deal. And in BW005, Tepig and Oshawott learn Tackle. Big whoop. Someone's gotta go through this and clean it out.--[[User:Burgundy|Burg]][[User talk: Burgundy|undy]] 00:23, 3 February 2011 (UTC)
