{{move|Pokémon Red, Green, and Blue beta}}

As with most gaming software, {{game|Red and Green|s}}, in their final release, contain several "dummied out" features that were programmed into the games but for one reason or another had their activating events taken from the final versions.

In addition, the English translations of these games, {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, had several of their own altered aspects during the two years between the release of {{game|Blue| (Japanese)|the Japanese Blue}} and the English translations.

==Concept art==
[[File:Pokemon conceptart big.jpg|thumb|right|The early concept art by [[Ken Sugimori]]]]
In a gaming exhibition called Game On, early concept art of Red and Green by [[Ken Sugimori]] was featured, along with beta material from [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire beta|Ruby and Sapphire]]. The concept art depicts rough versions of various concepts that made it into the final game. They seem to include various {{pkmn|battle}}s, the [[Kanto Safari Zone|Safari Zone]], {{ga|Red}} riding on a {{p|Lapras}}, a {{p|Blastoise}}, [[Celadon City]], [[Silph Co.]], and a town with a fountain which could have been reworked into [[Celadon City]]. Some other Pokémon are identifiable in a raw or semi-normal form, such as {{p|Gastly}} and others are prototypical of an entire class of Pokémon, such as a basic {{type2|Dragon}}.

==Gameplay features==
===Battling against Professor Oak===
At the beginning of the game, [[Professor Oak]] introduces the player to the [[Pokémon world|world of Pokémon]] using a sprite that is similar to the battle sprites of other characters. However, he also has a full team of Pokémon programmed into the game, consisting of a {{p|Tauros}}, {{p|Exeggutor}}, {{p|Arcanine}}, {{p|Gyarados}}, and the final form of the [[starter Pokémon]] that was not taken by the {{player}} or {{ga|Blue}}.

Oak's Pokémon are of an even higher level than those of {{ga|Blue}} as {{pkmn|Champion}}, perhaps implying that he was at one point intended to be faced after the defeat of the [[Elite Four]].

This battle can be activated through the [[Mew glitch]] with a {{stat|Special}} stat of 226, and remains in place in {{game|Yellow}}.

===Bird type===
The {{t|Bird}} type may have been a prototype version of the {{t|Flying}} type. This can be seen in the final version of the game: [[Missingno.]] is a {{2t|Bird|Normal}} Pokémon. The Bird type is present in the [[Generation II]] games' programming; this is unsurprising, since the game engine for Gold and Silver is based on that of the [[Generation I]] games.

===Directions===
It is possible to force a situation where the player has a choice of selecting options NORTH, SOUTH, EAST, and WEST as opposed to the options which appear in the final game such as Yes/No and Heal/Cancel. The words "WEST" and "SOUTH" in block capitals do not even appear in the final game.<ref>[http://forums.glitchcity.info/index.php/topic,36.msg185558.html#msg185558 Thread on Glitch City Laboratories forums]</ref>

===Female player character===
[[File:Sugimori Starter artwork.png|thumb|right|Artwork featuring an assumed female player character, with a {{p|Squirtle}}]]
There were originally plans for a female character to be playable in Red and Green, as older sketches suggest. {{adv|Green}} from [[Pokémon Adventures]] seems to be based on her. The {{ga|Leaf|character}} was redesigned and included in the [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|remakes]] of the game, to continue the standard of including a female protagonist option.

===No Mew present===
According to the interview by [[Satoru Iwata]] with [[Tsunekaz Ishihara]] and [[Shigeki Morimoto]] about the release of {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, localized as "Iwata Asks", they admitted that after the debug features were removed, they added {{p|Mew}} in the empty space. Nintendo thought that this would have been risky because altering the game code after completing testing, meant that any new bugs created by adding data with no debugging features would have been much harder to be fixed. Standard programming practices usually discourage altering the code and not testing it, just before releasing the game to the customer.<ref>[http://nintendodsi.com/iwata-asks-chapter.jsp?interviewId=6&volumeId=1&chapterId=1 Iwata Asks - Pokémon HeartGold Version & SoulSilver Version]</ref>

===Unused Trainer classes===
An unused [[List of Trainer classes|Trainer class]] known as "[[Chief]]" was omitted from the final game, though like Oak, a battle with an NPC with this data can be accessed through cheating.

The Trainer class is mentioned in-game by one of the {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s in [[Celadon City]], and shares its battle sprite with the [[Scientist]] Trainer class.

==Locations==
===Alternative map locations===
There are three map locations which are each identical to another map used in the final game, except for the fact that the default music used in the alternative location is different.<ref>[http://glitchcity.info/wiki/index.php/Alternative_map_locations_%28Generation_I%29 Glitch City Laboratories Wiki: Alternative map locations (Generation I)]</ref>

These locations are:
* House invaded by [[Team Rocket]] ([[Mt. Moon]] theme) - index number 69 instead of 62.
* [[Underground Path (Routes 5-6)|Underground Path]] {{Rt|6|Kanto}} entrance ([[Vermilion City]] theme) - index number 75 instead of 74.
* [[Cinnabar Island]] [[Poké Mart]] (Cinnabar Island theme) - index number 173 instead of 172.

===Extra location accessible via {{m|Fly}}===
Formatted data exists for an additional map location.<ref>[http://glitchcity.info/wiki/index.php/Unused_town Glitch City Laboratories Wiki - Unused Town]</ref> It is located straight after the final town in memory ([[Saffron City]]) but just before [[Kanto Route 1|Route 1]]. Its associated data is completely blank, even its header data and coordinates on the [[Town Map]] (where the game defaults the location as part of "[[Pallet Town]]" with coordinates 0,0), except for the fact that an unused flag when checked allows the player to Fly to it. Attempting to travel to this location simply freezes the game.

===Unused shop data===
Unused shop data exists and may be associated with the formatted map location as mentioned above. The "shop" lists [[Poké Ball|Great Ball]]s, [[Super Potion]]s, [[Hyper Potion]]s, [[Full Heal]]s and [[Revive]]s.

==Items==
{{main|List of dummied out key items#Generation I|List of dummied out key items}}
===Badges===
Unused items with the names of all the [[badges]] exist in the game's coding. This could mean that the badges were originally going to be items that were carried in the player's [[bag]]. The Boulder Badge and Cascade Badge are the only ones that do something when used in battle - they allow the player to throw bait and rocks, respectively, as in the [[Kanto Safari Zone|Safari Zone]] battles. When used outside of battle, they have another strange effect - after the throwing animation, the music changes to a loop of Professor Oak's "good [[Pokédex]]" jingle.

===?????===
There is an item in the game named ?????, which enables the player to {{m|Surf}} without using a Pokémon. Due to this ability, it is often referred to as Surfboard. In the final game, the move {{m|Surf}} can be used by a Pokémon as a {{OBP|field move|main series}} serving the same function. This has led a few players to speculate that either the move {{m|Surf}} was not originally implemented as a field move or that the move did not initially exist as an HM.

===Poké Balls===
Some concept art shows Poké Balls on the ground, in two pieces. This is most likely just a carryover from when Pokémon was [[Capsule Monsters]]. Strangely, the original [[Pokémon Red and Green]] sprites don't show the button in the center of the Poké Ball.

==Localization==
===Prototype names===
During the promotional period that preceded the English release of both the {{pkmn|anime}} and games, some Pokémon were shown with different names than they had in the games at release. These names varied from being slightly off from their current names, to being closer to their Japanese names, to being totally different from any current Pokémon name.

==="The Misty" wants to fight===
[[File:BrockRB beta.jpg|thumb|200px|right|"The BROCK wants to fight!" beta battle message.]]
Before the U.S. release of Red and Blue, screenshots were released of a {{ga|Blue|rival}} battle with the text "The BLUE wants to fight!". While this text would work with a typical Trainer, such as "The [[Lass]]" or "The [[Hiker]]", as they were not given personal names until [[Generation II]], it would cause problems with [[Gym Leader]], [[Elite Four]], rival, and game link battles, leaving them to end up as "The [[Misty]]" or "The [[Lance]]", as these Trainers did not at the time have titles, only their names. Because of this, the "The" article was dropped in the final version of the game, leading to the somewhat odd sentence style used until [[Generation III]] of "[Trainer's class/name] wants to..."

A screenshot in the instruction manual of {{game|Red and Blue|s}} still contains the text "The [[Brock|BROCK]] wants to fight!", possibly suggesting a late removal. The instruction manual also mentions Pokémon Leaders instead of Gym Leaders.
{{-}}

==="(POKéMON) CUT down a bush!"===
[[File:ODDISH_CUT.png|thumb|200px|right|"ODDISH CUT down a bush!" beta field message.]]
On page 31 of [[Pokémon Red and Blue]]'s Nintendo Player's Guide a different dialog string "ODDISH CUT down a bush!" is used in a screenshot when cutting down the bush next to [[Vermillion City]] [[Pokémon Gym|Gym]]. The fact that [[Cut (move)|Cut]] can also be used to destroy areas of [[tall grass]] may have been the reason why the text was converted to "(POKéMON hacked away with CUT!)" in the final game.

Cal05000: /* Scizor */

== Scizor ==
In Colosseum, Evice's Scizor has this ability, according to his article. Is this only for his Scizor or was it an oversight and he should be listed here? [[User:Cheesedude|Cheesedude]] 19:32, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
:No, Scyther and Scizor always have it in Gen III, and half the time in Gen II. Someone must've forgotten to put it here. --'''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 23:00, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Bulbasaur (Pokémon)

2008-09-15T08:08:30Z

Cal05000: /* Problem */

Hey can we not have Bulbasaur link to Deoxys in the directory? We're going to get new pokemon and it'd just be better to not have the pokemon in a loop. It'd save sanity for when we get the 4th Gen. I'm trying to fix it now[[User:LedianX|LedianX]] 21:07, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)

How so? Just change Deoxys on the Bulbasaur page to whatever the new last one should be when necessary - a single page edit. It's not like there's going to be tons of new pokemon every day. [[User:Sheep|Sheep]] 21:25, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Ok. Let me fix it but if you think I'm gonna relink all 386 pokemon with Meowth again like yesterday..You're nuts.[[User:LedianX|LedianX]] 21:36, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)

No Deo-Bulba link. It's not circular. [[User:Evkl|Evkl]] 21:53, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Before all these Pokemon pages are redone, should nav be up on top as well as on bottom, or easily locating the nav, no matter how long the page? --[[User:Meowth346|Meowth346]]

This doesn't really relate, but could we add some possibilities to what certain Pokemon are based off of? As well as what names seem to be based off of? Like Bulbasaur=bulb+dinosaur, or Bulbasaur appears to be a dinosaur? Just asking here because it's a Pokemon page with lots of activity

------

I'm going to try to automate changing all the navigations for all the Pokemon. Hopefully no one starts editing before I get my script working. I may still be a good hour away from perfecting it. --[[User:Meowth346|Meowth346]]
----------------

Great. I don't feel like changing them all since we spent so long putting them there to begin with. [[User:LedianX|LedianX]] 01:46, 8 Mar 2005 (UTC)

-----------

Can you believe I spend *36* minutes trying to get this working, trying things, and the problem with my script was an "&" missing? I'll start mass-updating the pages after I ensure there are no problems, and write a looper. --[[User:Meowth346|Meowth346]]
-------------------------

I can believe it. But, I thought we weren't going to loop to Deoxys? Evan said we weren't It's going to be a bit of a pain with the new Pokemon. Not to mention we have to put Munchlax and Rukario in there somewhere.[[User:LedianX|LedianX]] 02:59, 8 Mar 2005 (UTC)

----------

Would there be a template problem without the looping? If not, then anyone can freely unloop them. --[[User:Meowth346|Meowth346]]

There is so far. I'm debating whether to make a special template for Deo and Bulba.

----
That should be easy enough. Make a "next" template and a "previous" template, and have the NextPrevious template combine these, right? --[[User:Meowth346|Meowth346]]

Perhaps - the problem would then be developing a template to wrap the blue box around it. Or we could just cheat and duplicate code as needed. (Also, I thought you had the Bulbabot account at your disposal to do these automatic changes (they pollute the Recent changes page otherwise)). Also, your bot is a little too overzealous with the &lt; conversion - some HTML tags are also valid in Wiki. - [[User:Zhen Lin|刘 (劉) 振霖]] 07:15, 8 Mar 2005 (UTC)

The &lt; was a mistake because of how I managed the text (along with viewing it in the browser before I had all the find/replace working): download, change < to &lt;, then change newlines to BR tags, then modify, then change BR tags back to new lines, then replace the &lt;. I had forgotten about the &lt; in comments. In the end, it turned out I didn't even need to bother with less-than signs, as the textarea box doesn't even use HTML. As for BulbaBot, I don't remember the password, and it wasn't in .bash_history, nor did I feel up to checking my GAIM log. But if I knew that it wouldn't show up in recent changes, I would have done that. --[[User:Meowth346|Meowth346]]

== Moves ==

The version isn't specified, and there is already a page format allocated for this. If you just want to test things, you can do it on a seperate page. Or just use the "Show preview" button. --[[User:Jshadias|Jshadias]] 02:52, 10 Mar 2005 (UTC)

We know...we're discussing the best way to handle it. I would appreciate it if you wouldn't have any snide comments. We're in a chat right now dealing with it. If you would like to be included in the BMG mod chat please AIM someone.[[User:LedianX|LedianX]] 03:01, 10 Mar 2005 (UTC)

== Don't mean to impose, but... ==

Have you considered using the setup given by the Pokémon WikiProject at Wikipedia? The articles seems to be more a guide on how they are in the games, instead of their relevance in the game/anime/manga/TCG. Compare [[Wikipedia:Bulbasaur]] with [[Bulbasaur]], for instance. - [[User:A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]] 00:02, 7 September 2005 (CDT)

I'm sorry, that wasn't terribly clear - what do you mean? What is lacking on the Bulbapedia article? Is it just a matter of depth covered (we might be the biggest Pokémon wiki encyclopedia, but we don't get the kind of activity Wikipedia gets) - or something else? As far as I can see, the Wikipedia articles are structured quite like ours. - [[User:Zhen Lin|振霖]][[User talk:Zhen Lin|T]] 03:36, 7 September 2005 (CDT)
:The articles just need some fleshing out. - [[User:A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]] 06:34, 7 September 2005 (CDT)
::Then it's nothing to be concerned about. Nothing is ever "done" - it's always open for improvement. Admittedly, it would be nice to have it fleshed out, but we simply don't have the kind of activity Wikipedia gets... so unless you're volunteering to do the work or help convince others to come contribute their work to Bulbapedia, you're just going to have to wait. Bulbapedia, like the Pokémon WikiProject, relies on volunteered work. - [[User:Zhen Lin|振霖]][[User talk:Zhen Lin|T]] 07:07, 7 September 2005 (CDT)

== GameShark/Action Replay Codes? ==

Someone want to put up an explanation for we non-cheating types what the heck those codes are for and why they're in the article? --[[User:Pie|Pie]] 06:25, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
:Indeed. They're gone now. The same user also made a dubious edit to the GS Ball article. - [[User:Zhen Lin|振霖]][[User talk:Zhen Lin|T]] 11:01, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

== Sprites! ==

that whole table of the different sprites is very, very, cool. i am thinking perhaps that could become the Project Spritedex? something or another...anyways, i am just letting everybody out there know i would be eager to help get files of the different sprites for you guys...thanks [[User:bill33421]]
PS: the emerald shiny sprite is missing
:Actually, the sprites fall under {{bp|Project Pokédex}}. And yes, I know the Emerald shiny sprite is missing... I haven't been able to find it. If you can add the sprites to Bulbagarden Archives, well, more power to you. Just make sure to upload them with the proper filename. '''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 11:22, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
:interesting...so yes, i will try to get them, but if i could ask, how do '''you''' get them? is there a site that i can find pics on then upload to bulbagarden? or should i crop screenshots of games?
*There are several sites out there with sprites. Pokemon elite 2000 and upokecenter are good candidates; however it is better to do them yourself. I am going to attempt to fill in all the missing sprites for the first generation- I have (nearly) uploaded all the normal and shiny crystal sprites. (all from 10-111)--[[User:Cadellin|Cadellin]] 13:32, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

[[User:Bill33421|Bill33421]] 19:42, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

== Diet ==

What up wit the diet? We're talking about Pokémon, fictional creatures, here, not animals, very few have their own individual diets and most of them just have a link to the Pokémon food main article, I just don't see the point in it. -[[Image:Ani491MS.gif]][[User:Kpokefan|K]][[User Talk:Kpokefan|P]][[Darkrai (Pokémon)|F]]
:Think about it: is it better to have a link to an article or have nothing link to the article on Pokémon food? '''[[User:TTEchidna|TTE]][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 04:15, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

== First Pokemon ==

this part of the trivia section:

"# Bulbasaur is the first dual-type Pokémon in National Dex order.
# Bulbasaur is the first Grass Pokémon in National Dex order.
# Bulbasaur is the first Poison Pokémon in National Dex order.
# Bulbasaur is the first Pokémon in the National Dex order. "

This sounds rediculous, we know Bulbasaur is the first pokemon, so we don't need to say it is the first poison type, grass type, and dual type. ([[User:GT4GTR|--●[[User:GT4GTR|'''GT4GTR''']] [[User talk:GT4GTR|''/ talk /'']]]] 10:05, 22 April 2008 (UTC))

== Movesets ==

== Bulbabye? ==

I was watching the first movie again the other day, and in the Pikachu Short, Ash's Bulbasaur used the "Bulba-Bye" on Togepi. I came to check, but it wasn't here. Wouldn't that be something to put in the Behavior section or something like that? [[User:Dlt4|DLT4]] 04:50, 19 August 2008 (UTC)
:I'm pretty sure it would be "Bulba-by," to fit with "lullaby." Anyway, it would actually probably be more appropriate on [[Ash's Bulbasaur]], since this doesn't seem to exist outside of the Anime and I think that's the only Bulbasaur that used it. --[[User:Martonimos|Martonimos]][[User talk:Martonimos|((Argh]]|[[Special:Contributions/Martonimos|Blargh))]] 04:56, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

Cal05000: /* XD Special? */

Correct me if I am wrong but isn't Game Cube officially called Nintendo Game Cube with a space? Is it too much to ask for people to call things the correct way? I'm not being snitty or anything. I'm just sick and tired of people making articles and misnaming them when stuff like the Game cube is in other articles saying "Nintendo Game Cube" already linked. Wouldn't be behoove people to LOOK before they make an article to see if there's already a LINK?[[User:LedianX|LedianX]] 05:13, 1 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Well the box says GAMECUBE and all of the Nintendo websites call it GameCube. I don't think it has a space at all. And things like this is what redirection pages are for. It's no ''big'' deal. - [[User:Ferret|Ferret]] 05:15, 1 Mar 2005 (UTC)

I know but you didn't even call it GameCube when you made the article. And yeah you can do redirect. I just makes things more professional and that's sort of what we're trying to do here. Not trying to be mean but in the future could you look for other ways o say the name of the article before you make one? Just trying to help [[User:LedianX|LedianX]] 05:20, 1 Mar 2005 (UTC)

I was not aware of the Gamecube <> GameCube when I wrote it, but I most certainly knew it wasn't a Game Cube. I'll make the nessessary changes now. - [[User:Ferret|Ferret]] 05:23, 1 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Cool. It's no biggie. There are just other ways to name it. Glad there's no major problem. Oh and do you think it'd be a good idea to ad some E-reader stuff on this page? Or would that be better served alsewhere? [[User:LedianX|LedianX]] 05:27, 1 Mar 2005 (UTC)

What exactly does the E-Reader have to do with the GameCube? I'm not sure, you can add items to things like Animal Crossing I think but nothing else comes to mind, the E-Reader is more used on the Game Boy as far as I know. Maybe the E-Reader should be a different article, and put "Ability to use the [[E-Reader]] for specific games." on the GameCube page. Unless the use of the E-Reader goes further than that... - [[User:Ferret|Ferret]] 05:33, 1 Mar 2005 (UTC)

It should probably have its own article and not be on this page. E-Reader put stuff into the GBA so it should be on the GBA page then.I'm talking about the berries, the tickets and the battles[[User:LedianX|LedianX]] 05:45, 1 Mar 2005 (UTC)

I remember GameFaqs tried to call Nintendo systems by their "correct" names. Instead of listing things as GameCube or GameBoy, the listed them as "Nintendo GameCube" or "Nintendo Gameboy". They eventually changed it to the unprofessional names because they got complaints that it was needlessly making things too complicated. People would be looking in the "G" section for GameCube stuff and were getting frustrated and confused when they couldn't find it.

Just something to note.

- Zeta

An encyclopedia needs to be correct. We're trying to be correct. - [[User:Ferret|Ferret]] 08:22, 1 Mar 2005 (UTC)

There isn't always a right and a wrong. Especially when it comes to language. It's mutable I mean, look at English. "Ma'am" used to be "Madam" which used to be "My Dam". Can you say that "Ma'am" is "incorrect" and "my dam" is the correct version? Even when you're dealing with enyclopedic knowledge, sometimes you have to adjust to public ideas on what to call something. Can you honestly say that just calling it "GameCube" can be defined as "Wrong" - anymore than calling the main character "Ash" instead of constantly calling him "Ash Ketchum" is incorrect? Should all of the pages on Ash's Pokemon be changed to read "Ash Ketchum's Snorunt", for instance?

Which is why we have redirects. '''~ek'''

:Why was this left as ''GameCube''? Nintendo Press' Style Guide dictates how these system names should be written by game reviewers and the like. Apparently it's ''Nintendo GameCube'' according to that. Read [http://mtvgames.typepad.com/mtv_video_games_blog/2006/09/wii_the_style_g.html this article]; it shows the correct spelling for the most recent Nintendo systems. Wikipedia, albeit being a community-driven encyclopedia, often has these correct spellings in its articles; pay attention to it often (go [[wp:Nintendo GameCube|here ("Nintendo GameCube")]] and compare with [[wp:GameCube|here]]). You don't even have to use those unofficial sources if you don't want to; this is as simple as going to [http://www.nintendo.com/systemsgcn Nintendo's official site] and look at the spelling. --[[User:Johans|Johans Nidorino]] 19:03, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
::Yeah, it probably should be Nintendo GameCube. I'll move it. --'''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 19:36, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

== Gameboy Player? ==

Should attachments like the Gameboy player be included? It's worth noting Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire has a Rumble function, that required a Gameboy Player and a Standard Controller (DOL-003). To put bluntly, it acts Like a GBA most of the time, but to a few games it had extra functions.

'''Silver''' (Japanese: '''シルバー''') is the sixth main character of the manga series [[Pokémon Special]]. His first Pokémon was a {{p|Sneasel}}. As a child, he was kidnapped and raised by the evil [[Mask of Ice]], where he met and became close with {{Special|Blue}}. Together they escaped, and Silver went to [[Johto]], where he later stole [[Professor Elm]]'s {{p|Totodile}}. This is similar to the way Blue stole [[Professor Oak]]'s {{p|Squirtle}} upon her return.

Silver's special skill, as described by [[Professor Oak]], is Pokémon trading and is known as "the trader" (換える者).

In the {{Special|FireRed & LeafGreen chapter}} it is revealed that Silver is the son of [[Giovanni]].

Silver is based on the [[Silver (game)|rival character of the same name]] in the [[Generation II]] games.

==Trivia==
* Silver can be considered similar to [[Paul]] of the anime, considering they have similar personalities (in the beginning for Silver) where they both seem to only care about the strength of their Pokémon. They also have similar Pokémon, {{p|Murkrow}} ([[Paul]]'s evolved into {{p|Honchkrow}}), {{p|Sneasel}} ([[Paul]]'s evolved into {{p|Weavile}}) and {{p|Ursaring}}. As well, they both talk similarily when talking to their rivals, Gold and [[Ash Ketchum]].

Cal05000: /* Participants */

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

==Project MoveDex==
===Scope and aims===
'''Project Movedex''' covers all articles about moves, also known as "techniques" or "skills", that presently exist in the Pokémon universe. It encompasses all moves that exist in the Game Boy and Nintendo DS games plus any moves which are otherwise defined as legitimate outside of the Game Boy and Nintendo DS games. It does not, however, define moves that exist in the Trading Card Game, in the Anime alone, or in any other offshoots of the main franchise.

'''Seaking''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''アズマオウ''' ''Azumao'') is a {{t|Water}}-type Pokémon.

Seaking can have one of two [[Ability|abilities]]: {{a|Swift Swim}}, which doubles {{stat|Speed}} when it is [[Weather conditions#Heavy rain|raining]]; or {{A|Water Veil}}, which protects the Pokémon from {{status|Burn|burns}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Seaking resembles a {{wp|koi}} or {{wp|goldfish}}, as it is a big orange colored fish with white and black markings. It also has a horn on its head, 2 big dark eyes, and pink lips with 2 small, sharp fangs.
====Gender differences====
A female has a smaller horn.

====Special abilities====

===Behavior===
===Habitat===
[[Image:Watersedge.gif|left|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Water's-edge Pokémon|Water's-edge Pokémon]]]]
Seaking are common in bodies of water.

===Diet===
''Main article: [[Pokémon food]]''

==In the anime==
[[Image:TheGreatEightFate.jpg|thumb|right|Juan's Seaking using {{m|Horn Drill}} on [[Ash's Corphish]].]]
[[Ash Ketchum]], [[Misty]], and [[Professor Oak]] have owned Seaking in the past, though Ash and Misty released theirs only a short time after capturing it.

[[Juan]] also owns a Seaking, which was used in a Gym Battle against Ash in ''[[AG110|The Great Eight Fate]]''. Juan's Seaking was able to block {{t|electric}}al attacks with {{m|Horn Drill}} and send them back at its opponent.

|yellowdex=It is the male's job to make a nest by carving out boulders in a stream using the horn on its head.
|stadiumdex=In the autumn, they travel up rivers to spawn. In other seasons, they make and live in their own nests.
|golddex=During spawning season, Seaking gather from all over, coloring the rivers a brilliant red.
|silverdex=Using its horn, it bores holes in riverbed boulders, making nests to prevent its eggs from washing away.
|crystaldex=When autumn comes, the males patrol the area around their nests in order to protect their offspring.
|stadium2dex=During spawning season, Seaking gather from all over, coloring the rivers a brilliant red.
|rubydex=In the autumn, Seaking males can be seen performing courtship dances in riverbeds to woo females. During this season, this Pokémon's body coloration is at its most beautiful.
|sapphiredex=Seaking is very protective of its eggs. The male and female will take turns patrolling around their nest and eggs. The guarding of eggs by these Pokémon goes on for over a month.
|emeralddex=It punches holes in boulders on stream-beds. This is a clever innovation that prevents its eggs from being attacked or washed away by the current.

==Trivia==
*"Neptune", the god of the sea of Roman mythology, was Seaking's prototype name.

*Seaking is the subject of a meme on the *chan sites, known as "F*** YEAH SEAKING", in which it destroys things. Many declare it a forced meme, and use {{p|Mudkip}} as its remedy. Ex.[http://www.snafu-comics.com/?strip_id=290]

*If Seaking is based upon "sea" and "king", and {{p|Goldeen}} "queen of the sea", then a queen is evolving into a king.

*Seaking and Goldeen are the only Pokémon that can learn {{m|Waterfall}} through leveling up. This makes it one of few Pokémon released to be able to learn an HM move by level-up.

*Seaking, {{p|Staryu}}, and {{p|Starmie}} are three of six total Pokémon in the original Kanto Dex who are clustered together and have the first letter of their names match without being in the same evolutionary chain (although Staryu and Starmie are). The other set of three is {{p|Electrode}}, {{p|Exeggcute}} and {{p|Exeggutor}} (although again, Exeggcute and Exeggutor are in the same evolutionary chain).

===Origin===
It may just be based on a {{wp|goldfish}}. The horn part may be based on Matsya, an avatar that the hindu god {{wp|Brahma}} assumed, which is sometimes depicted as a fish with a horn.

====Name origin====
Seaking's name is simply a combination of ''sea'' and ''king'' (seeking?). Its Japanese name may be based on 小豆鱒 ''azukimasu'', {{wp|rock cod}} and 魔王 ''ma-ō'', devil king. Interestingly enough, its Japanese name may also be taken to literally mean 東王 ''azuma-ō'', East king. Furthermore, an アズマニシキ ''azumanishiki'' is a kind of goldfish.

==In other languages==
* [[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Golking
* [[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Poissoroy - ''Poisson'' means fish. ''Roy'' could be a mispelling of ''roi'' meaning king.
* [[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 왕콘치 ''Wangkonchi''

Move duplication

2008-08-30T02:32:39Z

Cal05000:

{{cleanup}}

Move duplication is a special feature in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]] games that allows for a move to be learned several times by a [[Pokémon]], rather than only four different moves.

In most games, it is well known that a Pokémon could only learn four moves at a time. Pokémon Mystery Dungeon still keeps this tradition but a Pokémon could also learn the same moves numerous times.

The immediate advantages obviously permit greater endurance and longevity for a move before the consumption of a Max Elixir. The moves, however, are otherwise treated as separate moves (and thus occupy one of the four slots) rather than one single move with greater [[PP]]. Having a duplicate of a move also allows for a higher rate of usage of that particular attack, regardless of PP. It is logical to assume this because the artificial intelligence seems to randomly choose moves based on its range capacity. In other words, if a Pokémon is within range of a move (offensive, defensive, et al.) it will randomly select one from of the moves with the capacity to be used. Other aspects of a separate slot occupation involve its isolation from dungeon traps and in powering it up with a Ginseng.

This "feature" is immediately granted and easily exploited with TM usage.

e.g. the use of {{m|Shock Wave}} twice on an {{t|Electric}}-type Pokémon. The logic for this is that {{m|Shock Wave}} in normal conditions never misses. However, it is limited in the Mystery Dungeon incarnation with 8 PP.

There are also naturally recruitable Pokémon who have this feature. One example includes a few {{p|Pupitar}} in the Southern Cavern with two Sandstorm moves.

It is also possible to raise a Pokémon to learn two of the same moves that aren't in TM form.

However, there are some rules regarding this:

# It is still possible to evolve the Pokémon.
# The Pokémon even after evolving it will still know the the duplicated move.
# Pokémon, after evolving, will learn the desired move again as it levels up.

For example, a {{p|Squirtle}} is raised until it learns {{m|Hydro Pump}}. After learning the move, it is evolved into a {{p|Wartortle}}. Said Wartortle is raised until it again learns a second Hydro Pump. And evolved a final time and raised for a third Hydro Pump.

This makes a {{p|Blastoise}} with the moveset of three Hydro Pumps and one Hydro Cannon possible. Granted it would be useless in regular RPGs, it makes for a good range attacker in Mystery Dungeon as both moves are powerful line based moves with naturally low PP.

Another benefit is in a {{p|Metagross}} with two {{m|Meteor Mash}} attacks, or two {{m|Agility}} moves.

Moves cannot be duplicated while in the Gulpin Link Shop. Once a non-TM move has been duplicated and deleted it cannot be learned again for the purpose of duplication unless the Pokémon naturally learns it again at higher level. It is also possible to link two similar moves to some redundant effects.

In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2]], it seems as if this "feature" was removed. This was probably to prevent exploits since there are now more multi-player functions.

==Other games==
Due to being a [[Glitch Pokémon]], [[Missingno.]] has the move {{m|Water Gun}} twice, as well as {{m|Sky Attack}}, when encountered in [[Pokémon Red and Blue]]. Also, the Glitch Pokémon [[.4]] knows two {{m|Agility}} moves, in addition to TM28 and {{m|Super Glitch}}.

Level

2008-08-29T15:16:27Z

Cal05000: /* Trivia */

'''Levels''' are used in many of the [[Pokémon games|Pokémon RPGs]] as a measurement of how strong a [[Pokémon]] currently is. It is determined by how much [[experience]] that Pokémon has. A Pokémon's level will range from 1 to 100. When a Pokémon gains a level, its stats increase by a small amount. It may also learn a new [[move]] or [[evolution|evolve]].

A Pokémon's level will also affect its [[happiness]], raising it slightly when the Pokémon levels up. This means that a {{p|Pichu}} trained in battle will eventually evolve into a {{p|Pikachu}}, with its happiness going up slightly each level. Using Rare Candies will also raise happiness, though for a long time people thought it did not, due to a Pokémon's happiness also being raised by the large amount of walking that a player must do in long grass to encounter wild Pokémon or recharge such items as the [[Vs. Seeker]].

Also, when a Pokémon has reached level 100 it cannot continue gaining [[Effort values|Effort Points]] in [[Generation]]s {{gen|III}} and {{gen|IV}}. In Generations {{gen|I}} and {{gen|II}}, however, the player can use the [[box trick]].

By doing the [[Missingno.]] trick or using other cheats, a [[Pokémon]] can temporarily acquire a level higher than 100. However, whenever this [[Pokémon]] gains any amount of [[experience]], its level will revert to 100.

==In the anime==
Students at the [[Pokémon Tech|Academy]] featured in ''[[EP009|The School of Hard Knocks]]'' have referred to levels, {{ka|Joe|one of them}} quoting the levels at which {{p|Pidgey}} and the rest of its family [[evolve]] and learn certain [[move]]s. Despite this, levels are more often ignored in the anime. Various references have been to "power levels" but this seems to be more of a general term, rather than the levels used in the games. A classic example of this is [[Ash's Pikachu]]. After appearing in more than 500 episodes in a row, Pikachu would logically be level 100, however, Pikachu is still often beaten by other Pokémon. One effect of this is that Pokémon in the anime learn moves that would normally be hard to get. For example, in its debut episode, [[Dawn's Piplup]] used {{m|Bide}}, a move Piplup normally doesn't learn until level 18, when all [[starter Pokémon]] are obtained at level 5. Therefore, level up moves can generally be learned at any time in the anime.

However, in the two [[Mystery Dungeon]] specials, levels are mentioned, but not explained. This may mean that Pokémon themselves understand the concept of levels in the anime but humans do not.

==Trivia==
*Before [[Generation IV]], it was impossible to get a Pokémon at Level 1 without the aid of a glitch or cheating device. *Ironically, in [[Generation II]] and {{gen|III}}, it was therefore possible to get a {{p|Pikachu}} at a lower level than it was possible to get a {{p|Pichu}} at.
*Sometimes, in the [[main series]] games, a Pokémon can be encountered that is a lower level than it can be obtained by evolving its previous form. Famously, this has happened with wild {{p|Electabuzz}} in [[Generation II]] and {{p|Pidgeotto}} in {{game|Yellow}}, and most notably, with many Pokémon in [[Generation IV]] when using the [[Poké Radar]].

The part of the mountain range consisting of mountains such as [[Mt. Moon]], [[Cerulean Cave]] and [[Mt. Silver]] can be seen north of [[Cerulean City]]. Interestingly, a minor building with some blurry text can be seen. However, the text seems to start with a "F", which possibly may mean that it is the [[Fighting Dojo]]. {{t|Flying}} Pokémon, such as {{p|Pidgeot}} or {{p|Butterfree}} can sometimes been seen.

In the intro, {{p|Pikachu}} could be seen there, lying on a [[Poké Ball]].

==Trivia==
*Saffron City is the only in-game Kanto city that {{an|May}} won a [[Ribbon]] from.
===Name origin===
{{wp|Saffron (color)|Saffron}} is a golden yellow color like that of the spice of the same name, which is in turn cultivated from the purple-colored {{wp|Saffron|saffron crocus}}. Yamabuki iro (山吹色) refers to the golden color of {{wp|Kerria}} flowers.

The part of the mountain range consisting of mountains such as [[Mt. Moon]], [[Cerulean Cave]] and [[Mt. Silver]] can be seen north of [[Cerulean City]]. Interestingly, a minor building with some blurry text can be seen. However, the text seems to start with a "F", which possibly may mean that it is the [[Fighting Dojo]]. {{t|Flying}} Pokémon, such as {{p|Pidgeot}} or {{p|Butterfree}} can sometimes been seen.

In the intro, {{p|Pikachu}} could be seen there, lying on a [[Poké Ball]].

==Trivia==
*Saffron City is the only in-game Kanto city that {{an|May}} won a [[Ribbon]] from.
===Name origin===
{{wp|Saffron (color)|Saffron}} is a golden yellow color like that of the spice of the same name, which is in turn cultivated from the purple-colored {{wp|Saffron|saffron crocus}}. Yamabuki iro (山吹色) refers to the golden color of {{wp|Kerria}} flowers.

=="Vitamin" accuracy==
You call Zinc, Calcium, Iron VITAMINS? They are elements, metals, not any "vitamins". Well, Pokémon Fans don't have to be perfect in chemistry but calling them vitamins means COMPLETELY NO KNOWLEDGE! --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 17:33, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

:Sheesh, calm down Maxim. [[User:Carnivine|Carnivine]]

:"Vitamin: Any of a group of organic substances essential in small quantities to normal metabolism, found in minute amounts in natural foodstuffs or sometimes produced synthetically: deficiencies of vitamins produce specific disorders. Examples include Retinol (Vitamin A) • B vitamins: Thiamine (B1) • Riboflavin (B2)• Niacin (B3)• Pantothenic acid (B5)• Pyridoxine (B6)• Biotin (B7)• Folic acid (B9) • Cyanocobalamin (B12) • Ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) • Ergocalciferol and Cholecalciferol (Vitamin D) • Tocopherol (Vitamin E) • Naphthoquinone (Vitamin K) • '''Calcium''' • Choline • Chlorine • Chromium • Cobalt • Copper • Fluorine • Iodine • '''Iron''' • Magnesium • Manganese • Molybdenum • Phosphorus • Potassium • Selenium • Sodium • Sulfur • '''Zinc''' •"

== Rare candy = revive? ==

Is it worth noting that when a fainted pokemon is given a rare candy, it gains actual HP by the amount max HP goes up, meaning a rare candy can serve as an emergency revive in a desperate situation? --[[User:Kendai|Kendai]] 10:52, September 9, 2007

== Rare Candy, based on Rock Candy? ==

----
Whilst playing Earthbound the other day I was wondering whether it would be worth mentioning that the item Rare Candy might be based on the item Rock Candy from that game.

The Rock Candy was used quite similarly to increase hp/pp stats after when leveling up.

I thought there might be a connection, after all Creatures Inc. who makes the Pokemon games was previously Ape Inc, responsible for Earthbound.[[User:Chary|Chary]] 20:08, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

::This is probably where it is confusing people. There is a rule for names ending in "s" "vowel" "s". They probably think James falls under it when it doesn't.

By the way, the only reason "s'" (apart from with Jesus and Moses) are used is because the "s" they replace were added to make a plural. Example: ("Banks" = plural of "Bank" and a last name.) "Don't take that! That's the Banks' money!" and "Don't take that! That's Tyra Banks's money!"

But all in all, it's a pretty sweet deal; site seems fast enough already, no ads when logged in, and all that. I'm jealous; GuildWiki is actually losing members over it's advertising system. (Wikia bought GuildWiki out, and they have really crappy ad locations, such as right in the middle of the page.)

== Categories for players of all game versions ==

Why do we have categories for OSes (like "Windows Users" or "Linux users"), browsers (like "Firefox users"), even for types (like "Water users"), but no special categories for different game versions? IMHO, we should create them and add to <nowiki>{{User Diamond}}, {{User Pearl}}, {{User Emerald}} and other game tags.

:Hmm, a good question. My guess is that nobody thought to categorize the templates... I think it shouldn't be tough to add them in. Games aren't region-exclusive, correct? Meaning some with a Japanese Blue can trade with someone with an English Blue... so in the case of the (JP) game templates, I say we categorize those just as Blue and Red versions. --[[user:Jioruji_Derako| '''J'''ïörüjï '''Ð'''ērākō.'''>''']][[user talk:Jioruji Derako|''.cнаt'''''^''']] 13:35, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
::I think, it would be better to add each template to both categories, e.g. "Players of Diamond" and "Players of Diamond (Japanese version)", since Pokémon from other regions get an experience bonus. But such categorising would not help only trading, but would also be good for statistical purposes :-) etc. --[[User:Pokeresp|Pokeresp]] 17:54, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
:::For things like Japanese Diamond, there'd be no point, since they're the same game. Besides, you're forgetting, Pokémon that have been traded always gain an EXP boost, not just from other regions. I was merely meaning Japanese Blue, but I might need to look at that one in particular again; I think there was something about the Japanese Blue only being in Japanese, and the English Blue being a different game entirely. Otherwise, for trading purposes, both categories could be put in a single box, so people looking for players with Blue don't need to check multiple categories. I'll check it now, and probably start adding tags while I'm at it. --[[user:Jioruji_Derako| '''J'''ïörüjï '''Ð'''ērākō.'''>''']][[user talk:Jioruji Derako|''.cнаt'''''^''']] 23:36, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

==Idea==
Okay, seeing as I'm not a part of any other part of bulbapedia, I can't post it anywhere else. The idea is a Pokémon fan wiki. Basically, it's a wiki for fanfic, ideas, interactive games, text adventures and anything else. I'ma guess you'd be able to make pages on your own fake pokémon. If you juys already have this, I apologize because I would not know. I got the idea from http://fanstuff.hrwiki.org/index.php/Main_Page . [[User:Strong Intelligent|Strong Intelligent]]

:It sounds like a fun idea. I don't think it's a realistic option for Bulbapedia, or our servers; there's already a lot on the wiki, and we've already got limits on userspace stuff, because fanfics and games have clogged the servers before.
:But a wiki dedicated to the topic might be fun. It's actually not all that hard to start your own wiki, if you can find a webhost... I've got one of my own running on a mildly reliable free webhost. So don't forget that starting one yourself is a fine option. --[[user:Jioruji_Derako| '''J'''ïörüjï '''Ð'''ērākō.'''>''']][[user talk:Jioruji Derako|''.cнаt'''''^''']] 19:19, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
::I'm all for it. I don't have the money, time, know-how or "care" factor to do it myself, but a fan wiki would attract all the fancrufters away from here to a place where they can post their stuff without fear of reprimand or deletion. Transformers and Super Mario do it, I know, so I think it's a good idea. --[[User:Martonimos|Martonimos]][[User talk:Martonimos|((Argh]]|[[Special:Contributions/Martonimos|Blargh))]] 02:46, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

:::...while I doubt that name would go over well, the basic idea would be popular. The question would be, is a Wiki really the best place for such things, or perhaps a simpler, "normal" submission-type website? Lots of people like fanfics, but how many like posting fanfics in a wiki?

::::::Actually, I've only ever heard the term "fancruft." I've never heard it referred to as "fanstuff," so I guess I hang around some really bitter people.
::::::I think a wiki would work really well. It's not just fanfics that people write; they make pages for their characters, essays, teams, predictions, all sorts of stuff that are in article format but not notable (or, more often, canonical) enough to be articles. If, for example, I had been forced to put my [[User:Martonimos/GSDS|GSDS predictions]] page on another site, one that didn't use wiki-coding, it would have required an extensive rewrite, not just for the code, but the format of the article as a whole. And when you look at the amount of time people spend editing their userpages, even now after the ban, I'd think that a wiki of this sort would be extremely popular. We'd just have to be sure to deflect a few people from Bulbapedia to the Fancruftpedia at first; it'd catch on after a while. --[[User:Martonimos|Martonimos]][[User talk:Martonimos|((Argh]]|[[Special:Contributions/Martonimos|Blargh))]] 08:17, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

Does Bulbagarden have a portal page? A base leading into Bulbapedia, and the forums, and whatnot... there should be a link to that somewhere in the header if so. As it is, it's slightly off-color for the rest of the site(s), and way to big for what it's doing (which is nothing). An option to turn it off would definately be nice, or at the least, make it a bit smaller.

== I think the Japanese names of characters' pokemon are wrong... ==

Well I'm 90% it's wrong anyway, if it's right it's a MAJOR coincidence and it's makes translating japanese to english very convenient. So, the Japanese call Ash "Satoshi" and Bulbasaur "Fushigidane", I don't have a problem with this in particular. However what I find really weird is articles like [[Ash's Bulbasaur]] claim the Japanese for "Ash's Bulbasaur" is "Satoshi's Fushigidane". When translating things like this you can't take the word for Ash and the word for Bulbasaur and slap a "'s" on to it. I'd be very surprised if the Japanese used the same possessive we do. For example the French for Bulbasaur is "Bulbizarre", but Ash's Bulbasaur in french would not be "Ash's Bulbizarre" it would be "Bulbizarre de Ash". I know the Japanese is romanized, but it would be too much of a coincidence if it was pronounced "Satoshi's Fushigidane". So, coincidence, one of the conventions you follow when romanizing japanese, or am I right and it's incorrect. I hope you understand what I'm getting at here. {{unsigned|Jmvb}}
:We know that it is not that, but...no one would understand what it said if we put "Satoshi no Fushigidane" so we just put. Satoshi's Fushigidane. It is easier for every to understand, since this is an English, American wiki, we cater to what the English language would have as the possesive.

:Based on that logic there should be no Japanese at all, this is of course an english wiki. If you wanna put Japanese in make it correct at least. It's quite insulting to assume everyone who speaks english is a fuckwit who don't know other languages have different possessives. Even if you didn't know that, how many brain cells does it take "Satoshi no Fushigidane" means "Ash's Bulbasaur" in Japanese when it says "Ash's Bulbasaur, japanese: Satoshi no Fushigidane". [[User:Jmvb|Jmvb]] 17:24, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
::I'm in favor of changing the Japanese titles to proper grammar. Yes, it's an English wiki. Yes, the plural "s" makes it easier to understand... in English. The names are in Japanese however; if you're reading the Japanese title, then chances are you know Japanese, or want to know it. It's an insult to non-Japanese speakers to dumb it down, and it's an insult to Japanese speakers to spell it incorrectly. We're Bulbapedia; we provide some of the most useful Pokémon information on the web. If I want to know a Pokémon's moveset, I check here first. If I want to know what happened in the last episode of the DP saga, I check here. And if I wanted to know the ''correct'' Japanese title for a character or his Pokémon, I'd check here.

== Erasing Work ==

Why in the world did you erase the summary for the Gliscor episode? Didn't you know the summary was confirmed by Pokeani and it was translated for an actual scan. When you edit, be sure to be eiting the right thing because I have no idea why you erased it. ~Maxell

== Trade ==

Will you trade with me? I would like a Squirtle or any of the Johto starters. I can give you any of the other Gen I-III starters, or any of the fossil Pokémon, except for Cranidos.

:::Okay. I've put in my two cents for the {{t|Water}} discussion, and here's how to upload. First of all, you need to choose the image you want to upload. Once you have the image in the approximate size you want it, simply drag it over to your desktop. Then, make a username on the archives if you haven't already, and click the '''upload media''' button toward the lower right of your screen. Once you are on the uploading screen, click '''browse'''. Then, go to the desktop option on the small window that pops up, and your image shold be there. Click your image ONCE to highlight it, and click '''open'''. Then, under '''destination filename''', type what you want your image to be called. However, you MUST not delete the extension on the file, like ".jpg" or ".gif". Then, click '''upload'''. If you have a problem or don't understand, let me know. -[[Image:Spr 3e 186.gif|30px]][[User:Politoed666|ニョロトノ]][[User talk:Politoed666|''666'']][[Image:Spr 3e 186.gif|30px]]

== Disambiguations ==

If you see any redirect link to [[Pokémon Red]] or [[Pokémon Blue]], your best course of action is to leave it alone. The Japanese [[Generation I]] pairings are different from the English ones, and the redirects that lead to those disambigs do so for a reason. Japanese Red is paired with a Green while Japanese Blue is their third-version counterpart. English Red and English Blue are paired together. It should not be assumed that anyone looking for one color of the game is automatically looking for the English version. --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 21:21, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

== Majestic Dawn ==

From what I've heard, this TCG set will comprise of cards from [[Moonlit Pursuit/Dawn Dash (TCG)|Japan's DP4]] that didn't appear in {{TCG|Secret Wonders}} and {{TCG|Great Encounters}}, the {{TCG|Entry Pack '08 DX}} cards, and some [["DP-P" Promotional Cards (TCG)|promotional cards]], with maybe A FEW [[Temple of Anger/Cry from the Mysterious (TCG)|Japan DP5]] cards mixed in. Therefore, Majestic Dawn should not redirect to Temple of Anger/Cry from the Mysterious since the latter will form the bulk of the US DP6 set (and maybe even the US DP7 set given the source themes for Great Encounters and Majestic Dawn), not the bulk of the US DP5 set. I hope you understand. --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 03:04, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

== Image Deletion ==

== Concerning your "current project"... ==

You're creating quite a mess of double redirects, since a lot of the redirects you've created redirect to redirects. For example, [[Ninetails]] is not only a redirect, but also itself misspelled. Perhaps you should check to see whether a target is a disambiguation page or not BEFORE proceeding with redirect creation, lest someone have to clean up tons of double redirects at the next special page refresh...--[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 20:23, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

:So what you're saying is that I should make sure I'm redirecting to a disambiguation page when redirecting to a Pokémon's name, i.e. [[Pikachu]], but if there '''is no disambiguation page''' and I'm redirecting to another redirect, I should simply redirect to that Pokémon's species article in the first place, i.e. [[Pikachu (Pokémon)]]. Correct? --[[User:Politoed666|ニョロトノ]][[User talk:Politoed666|''666'']] 20:27, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

::Bingo. --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 20:37, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

== I made you a present! ==

It's not actually a present, and it's not just for you. But I still think you'll find [[Template:Game]] helpful with your relinking project. You can probably figure this out on your own, but you just type in <nowiki>{{game|GameName}}</nowiki> to get <nowiki>[[Pokémon GameName Version|Pokémon GameName]]</nowiki>. So typing <nowiki>{{game|Crystal}}</nowiki> gets you {{game|Crystal}}, and typing in <nowiki>{{game|Gold and Silver|s}}</nowiki> gets you {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}. Note that you need to use the |s when linking to paired versions. I made this template because a lot of people just write <nowiki>{{g|GameName}}</nowiki> or <nowiki>[[Pokémon GameName]]</nowiki> and don't add "version" at the end. With this template, you can go through and replace all those instances with <nowiki>{{game}}</nowiki>, and link to the actual page instead of a redirect without changing the way the page appears or writing out a long, unwieldy link. That's not to say that you'll be the only one doing this; I'll help out when I can. --[[User:Martonimos|Martonimos]][[User talk:Martonimos|((Talk))]] 03:43, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

No, I won't block you, Kuki. I agree, though, that some courtesy on your part would be appreciated when handling incidents like this. Don't get all pissed if somebody refers to you as a "bully;" just ignore them or politely ask them to refrain from addressing you in a manner that you would find insulting. If they don't meet those terms, that may be grounds for a block on counts of intimidating behavior/harassment. Normally, calling someone a "bully" wouldn't really be considered harassment, but if they continue to do so knowing that the user in question finds it offensive, that ''would'' be considered harassment, and, as I previously stated, that would be grounds for a block. --[[User:Politoed666|ニョロトノ]][[User talk:Politoed666|''666'']] 21:40, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

Cal05000:

'''Pokémon breeding''' is a method of making a new [[Pokémon]] by producing and hatching a [[Pokémon egg]]. In the {{pkmn|anime}}, it also refers to Pokémon grooming and caretaking.

==In the games==
===How to breed===
Pokémon can be breed by leaving two compatible Pokémon at the [[Pokémon Daycare]] in [[Generation II]] and beyond, located on {{rt|34}} in [[Johto]], {{rt|117}} in [[Hoenn]], [[Four Island (town)|Four Island]] in the [[Sevii Islands]], and [[Solaceon Town]] in [[Sinnoh]]. Two Pokémon are compatible if they are of the same species, or share at least one [[Egg Group]], and are of opposite genders (see below); alternatively, breeding is usually still possible as long as one of them is {{p|Ditto}}. [[Legendary Pokémon]] (including {{p|Unown}} but excluding {{p|Phione}} and {{p|Manaphy}}), [[baby Pokémon]], {{p|Nidorina}} and {{p|Nidoqueen}} cannot breed whatsoever. Pokémon with gender unknown (besides the aforementioned legendaries) can only breed with Ditto. After returning to the Daycare, the old man will be outside ([[Generation II]]), out of line with the fence ([[Generation III]]), or facing the road ([[Generation IV]]). The man will hand the player an egg if he or she replies to his question with "yes". After walking around for a while, the egg will hatch into a [[level]] 5 ([[Generation II]] and [[Generation III|III]]) or level 1 ([[Generation IV]]) version of the bottom of the female's evolutionary chain (or the non-Ditto parent).

Examples:

| =
| {{p|Pichu}}
|}

However, there are three pairs of Pokémon species where the male and female are treated as different Pokémon. In these cases, an egg produced by the female species may hatch into either the male or female variant; however, breeding the male species with Ditto will ''not'' produce the female counterpart. The pairs are the following:

*{{p|Nidoran♀}} and {{p|Nidoran♂}}
*{{p|Illumise}} and {{p|Volbeat}}
*{{p|Miltank}} and {{p|Tauros}}

There are also some Pokémon which will produce variable eggs. The Pokémon that is in these eggs will depend on whether or not the parents held a certain type of [[held item]], an incense.

|-bgcolor="#C0C0FF"

| [[Image:298.png]] {{p|Azurill}}
|- align=center
| Nothing
| [[Image:183.png]] {{p|Marill}}
|}

Other Pokémon like this include {{p|Wobbuffet}} in [[Generation III]] and beyond, and {{p|Roselia}}/{{p|Roserade}}, {{p|Chimecho}}, {{p|Sudowoodo}}, {{p|Mr. Mime}}, {{p|Chansey}}/{{p|Blissey}}, {{p|Snorlax}}, and {{p|Mantine}} in [[Generation IV]] and beyond. Each requires a different attached incense to breed the baby form.

===Hatching eggs===
The time it takes for eggs to hatch depends on the species. {{p|Magikarp}} is the fastest hatching Pokémon. Some baby fairies, such as {{p|Cleffa}}, {{p|Pichu}} and {{p|Igglybuff}} hatch quickly as well. Besides these, most Pokémon take considerable time to hatch. Rare and powerful Pokémon, like {{p|Dratini}}, {{p|Bagon}}, {{p|Beldum}}, {{p|Larvitar}}, {{p|Aerodactyl}}, {{p|Snorlax}}, {{p|Chansey}} and {{p|Eevee}}, among others, take a long time to hatch.

"Time" is actually determined in steps. For example, a {{p|Gligar}} takes 6364 steps to hatch. Therefore, riding a [[bike]] would reduce the egg's actual hatching time by traveling quickly. [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire]] and [[Pokémon Emerald Version|Emerald]] allow players to use the Mach Bike, which is twice as fast as the Acro Bike. [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen]] give players a harder time hatching their eggs, however, for there is no "Mach Bike" available. Additionally, in Pokémon Emerald, if any Pokémon with {{a|Flame Body}} or {{a|Magma Armor}} is in the [[party]], it reduces the hatching time by half: A Gligar egg would take only 3282 steps if a {{p|Slugma}} is in the party. This feature became standard in [[Generation IV]].

===Passing moves down===
The [[moves]] obtained by a Pokémon when hatching are as follows:
*The Pokémon will start with any moves that it would learn at a level of 5 or lower.
*The Pokémon will start with any moves that it would learn by leveling up only if both parents know the move.
*The Pokémon will start with any [[Technical Machine|TM]] or [[Hidden Machine|HM]] moves that the father knows and the baby can also learn by machine.
*The Pokémon will start with any [[Egg Moves]] that the baby can learn and the father knows.
The moves will take precedence in the order listed, and if there are more than four moves to learn, the moves will start being overwritten much like when leveling up at the Pokémon Daycare.

===Inheriting stats===
A Pokémon's [[Individual values|Individual Values]] are also passed down. This is determined differently between [[Generation II]] and [[Generation III]] games.

====Generation II====
In Generation II games, the baby inherits its stats from the parent of the opposite gender, unless one parent is Ditto, and in that case it inherits the stats from Ditto. The Defense IV (Individual Value) is passed, and also either the Special IV or the Special IV plus or minus 8 (plus for values in the 0-7 range; minus for values in the 8-15 range); the Special IV has a 50% chance of remaining the same. Attack and Speed IVs are determined entirely at random, whereas HP is determined by the IVs of the other four stats, using the same formula for wild Pokémon. The probability of a Pokémon inheriting ''all'' of its opposite-gender parent's IVs is therefore 1/512.

When determining if two Pokémon are compatible, their egg group is only one criterion. For Pokémon of the same egg group, if the Defense IVs are the same, and either the Special IVs are the same or 8 off, they are incompatible. This is due to the high likelihood of a family relation, hence the inability to breed.

====Generation III====
In [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire]], [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed and LeafGreen]], exactly three of the baby's IVs are inherited from either parent (which is to say that one parent can contribute a number of IVs that ranges from 0 to 3, and its mate will contribute the remaining number of IVs from other stats). The other three are determined at random, in such a way that it is ''possible'' that more of the offspring's IVs will coincide with those of its parents.

In [[Pokémon Emerald Version|Pokémon Emerald]], this process is similar but more complicated. First, a random IV is passed from one of the parents to the baby. Afterwards, a random IV of any stat other than HP, is inherited from either parent to the baby. If this IV is from the same stat as the first IV (not necessarily the same IV value, depending on whether or not the same parent passed it on), it will override it. Finally, another random IV of any stat other than HP and Defense, is passed from one of the parents to the baby. This IV will override any of the previous two if it is from the same stat. The remaining stats (a number ranging from 3 to 5) are determined at random, again with the possibility of one or more IVs coinciding with those of the parents.

Another change introduced in Emerald is the ability to inherit [[Natures|Nature]], which also influences stats. If the mother (or Ditto) is holding an [[Everstone]], the baby has a 50% chance of inheriting that Pokémon's Nature. When breeding a female Pokémon with Ditto, it is Ditto whose Nature has the increased 50% chance of being inherited in case it holds Everstone.

====Generation IV====
Inheriting IVs and Nature in [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|Pokémon Diamond and Pearl]] is determined in the same way as in [[Pokémon Emerald Version|Pokémon Emerald]]. The only minor exception is in the case of inheriting Nature, which is not influenced by Everstone when breeding two Pokémon that do not originate from games of the same language.

===Oddities===
Some aspects and contradictions of breeding in the games have spawned debate and confusion. Those Pokémon which breed differently whether holding or not holding an Incense are also popularly debated, most especially if the Incense is necessary in the first place to make an excuse as to why the Baby forms could not be previously obtained. Also, some unusual pairings of Pokémon can be found within the Egg Groups, such as {{p|Sandslash}} and {{p|Arbok}}, or [[HSOWA|Skitty and Wailord]].

One particularly unusual note is that {{p|Nidorina}} and {{p|Nidoqueen}} cannot breed, despite the fact that their {{p2|Nidoran♀|pre-evolution}} and male counterparts can. No reason has been given for this.

Another very unusual note is that {{p|Seviper}} and {{p|Zangoose}} can breed, despite the fact that the Pokédex says that they are [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romeo_and_Juliet| mortal enemies].

Though there is no way for [[legendary Pokémon]] to be bred, there is is evidence that it occurs somehow, since [[Pokémon egg|eggs]] with {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}} and {{p|Moltres}} can be hatched in {{pkmn|Snap}} and a baby {{p|Lugia}} has been seen in the {{pkmn|anime}}. Likewise, {{p|Manaphy}} can be hatched from a special egg from {{pkmn|Ranger}} in [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|Diamond and Pearl]]. Furthermore, Manaphy is the only legendary Pokémon who can breed with a {{p|Ditto}}. However, the offspring will always be {{p|Phione}}, who doesn't evolve into Manaphy.

When a Pokémon hatches from an egg during both [[Generation II]] and [[Generation III]], it is at [[level]] 5; however, Pokémon can be found in the [[route]]s around [[the player]]'s hometown that are leveled lower than this, down to level 2. This oddity was addressed in [[Generation IV]], where all hatched Pokémon started at level 1.

No negative effects occur from inbreeding Pokémon in [[Generation III]] and [[Generation IV]], despite this being impossible in [[Generation II]].

==In the anime==
In the [[Pokémon anime|anime]], Pokémon breeding refers to an entire line of work practiced by [[Pokémon Breeder]]s, such as [[Brock]]. So far, the anime has shown and discussed little about the literal breeding of Pokémon to produce eggs, but it is assumed this is part of a Pokémon Breeder's work. It has been shown that [[Pokémon professor|professors]] get their [[starter Pokémon]] from breeders who specifically raise and breed them, like [[Old Man Swampy]] from ''[[AG025|A Mudkip Mission]]''. There are also a few farm-like facilities that produce [[Pokémon egg]]s of various species. {{Ash}} received his [[Ash's Donphan|egg]] from such a location, as did {{an|May}} and her [[May's Glaceon|egg]].

Pokémon breeding in the anime focuses heavily on raising healthy Pokémon and keeping them in top condition by grooming them well and feeding them nutritious [[Pokémon food|food]].

I think I understand what happens with Latios and latias. Ok. When Latios is sent out (a video of him can been seen on youtube) he flys to the side and starts ramming the players opponents. When Latias is released as seen in the video I put on this page recently, it seems Latias flys of stage and calls Latios to help her out. So I'm saying Latios goes solo when he is released but ends up helping his sister out when she is released.[[User:Big Johnno|Pokémon Master]]

[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tCm2BHaoHZo In this vid only Latios appears.][http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2RaXB0XlfuU In this vid Latias appears with Latios aiding her.]

Excuse my rudeness, but don't Mantine (with Remoraid), Slowbro and Slowking (both with Shellder) kind of disprove the "one Pokemon per ball" thing?--[[User:PikamasterADV|PikamasterADV]] 17:14, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
:Not really. The Pokémon that are attached don't really do anything - thus, it's really just "okay, whatever". {{ani|281}}[[User:TinaTheKirlia|Tina]][[User:TinaTheKirlia/Sandbox|☆]][[User:TinaTheKirlia/Favorites|♥]][[User talk:TinaTheKirlia|♫]]{{Ani|380}} 17:22, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
